Comprehensive martial arts: Summon the thunder and lightning general, I will rule the world

They are definitely defeated. As Confucian disciples who are loyal to the emperor and love their country, how could they do something as rebellious as treason?
Such things are definitely not something that these upright gentlemen would do!
Moreover, Zhu Houzhao has been improving the welfare of officials over the years. If we leave aside the gray income, the current income of Ming Dynasty officials seems to be the highest among all countries in the entire Zongwu Continent.

This is embarrassing...

Now, some people have come to their senses and are applying to study at the Ming Royal Academy. Some of the better ones even want to become teachers there.

After all, students who graduated from the Ming Imperial Academy were considered Zhu Houzhao's students and his confidants.

But if one could become a teacher in the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, then he would be the most trusted confidant of Zhu Houzhao's confidants. Moreover, one should also take a look at the teachers in the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, who are the big guys?
This is the most powerful certification. As long as you can be a teacher there, you will definitely become famous.

The Confucians' perception of Zhu Houzhao had changed, at least they were no longer hostile to him, but it was different for the officials, gentry and landlords.

The officials, gentry and landlords on the Ming side were okay, after all, those who were disobedient were eliminated, but it was different on the Song side.

The officials, gentry and landlords of the Song Dynasty had also thought about living in peace with Zhu Houzhao, and for this reason, it was not impossible for them to give up some of their interests.

They did not expect Zhu Houzhao to continue to maintain their high status, and it was almost impossible for them to let Zhu Houzhao share the world with the literati.

Zhu Houzhao was not Zhao Kuangyin. He was a man who attached great importance to power. Moreover, in many things, Zhu Houzhao was much more domineering and decisive than Zhao Kuangyin.

To a certain extent, Zhu Houzhao and Ying Zheng are the same type of people. They have studied Ying Zheng before and naturally know Zhu Houzhao's ideas. It's just that when it comes to doing things, Zhu Houzhao is more resolute than Ying Zheng, and when it comes to reform, Zhu Houzhao is more thorough than Ying Zheng.

Before, they asked all the officials, gentry and landlords of the Northern Song Dynasty to go back in order to test Zhu Houzhao's attitude. If Zhu Houzhao could treat these officials, gentry and landlords well, then there would still be room for maneuver between them and Zhu Houzhao.

As long as Zhu Houzhao is willing to accept them, they can also send the entire Song Dynasty to Zhu Houzhao.

Although they are not members of the royal family, their status and influence are no less than that of Zhao Kuangyin, especially at this time when Zhao Kuangyin has no soldiers under his command. In today's Song Dynasty, the voice and influence of officials, gentry and landlords are even greater than that of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.

It’s just a pity that Zhu Houzhao is a guy who has no martial ethics at all.

After those officials, gentry and landlords returned, Zhu Houzhao not only did not send all the tenants that originally belonged to them back, he also had people investigate them. In the end, most of those officials, gentry and landlords were killed by Zhu Houzhao.

And they all had the same "crimes" as the officials, gentry and landlords who were massacred.

Therefore, they must not let Zhu Houzhao destroy the Song Dynasty. Even if they want to break the Song Dynasty, they must not let Zhu Houzhao succeed.

In fact, many officials, gentry and landlords were very optimistic about Li Shimin, and some even wanted to flee to the Tang Dynasty.

After all, this country is indeed full of vitality, and Li Shimin also maintains a welcoming attitude towards officials, gentry and landlords.

But the Tang Dynasty is no longer strong. The An-Shi Rebellion had a huge impact on it.

The Sui Dynasty was also an option they had considered, but Yang Guang had indeed been a bad person over the years. Their Yang family had risen to power through family connections, officials, gentry and landlords, but after Yang Guang became emperor, he began to suppress them all the way.

This is also a country that cannot be visited. As for Daqin, it is even more impossible to visit.

God bless them, these officials, gentry and landlords of the Southern Song Dynasty had no choice but to discover that some of the surrounding countries seemed to be ruled by foolish and tyrannical rulers.

It's just so unfair!!
Why were those tyrannical rulers able to govern their countries so powerfully? Without the support of these officials, gentry and landlords, wouldn't they have declined?
Why couldn't they all develop without their help in governing the country?

God is simply blind!
The officials, gentry and landlords of the Southern Song Dynasty are now in chaos. They are making their last dying struggle. There is no way out. This is their last chance.

Naturally, Yue Fei was unwilling to fight for these guys.

Although the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were enemies, the top leaders within the Song Dynasty knew that Zhu Houzhao was not as brutal as everyone said.

He was only cruel to officials, gentry and landlords. It was only because the officials, gentry and landlords wanted to keep what they had, and Zhao Kuangyin wanted to protect his country, that they kept discrediting Zhu Houzhao.

The only way was to discredit Zhu Houzhao and the Ming Dynasty and make everyone think that Zhu Houzhao was a cruel and inhumane guy who came to rob their land. Otherwise, how could ordinary people share the same hatred for the enemy with them?

Yue Fei had no intention of sharing the same hatred with officials, gentry and landlords, and he himself was not the same kind of people as these people.

However, he also wanted to protect the Song Dynasty. He knew that this was wrong and would drag many innocent people into the war, but Yue Fei had no ability to resist.

If he doesn't cooperate at this time, then those people will attack him, and then he might be dismissed. Then, who can resist Wu Qi?
Yue Fei felt helpless in his heart.

At this moment, when he learned that the granary was gone, Yue Fei felt more sad.

It is almost impossible to fight a war of attrition with the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers have no food or fodder, and they can't even get enough food to eat. How can they fight to the death?
It's not a crime of war, it's all Zhao Kuangyin's fault!
At this time, Yue Fei began to regret that perhaps he should not have compromised with Zhao Kuangyin in the beginning.

He was a little too arrogant before, thinking that with him standing in front, even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to rob food and supplies, it would not escape his eyes, and he could definitely get to the scene in the shortest time to provide help.

But now, Yue Fei also understood that he had underestimated Wu Qi and the Ming Dynasty. They had come to his rear without anyone noticing and caught him off guard, leaving him without even any food or grass.

It's too late to do anything now.

Destroy the army behind?
This is difficult to do. According to Niu Gao's intelligence, the army behind him is likely to be between 30,000 and 50,000 people.

Yue Fei still trusted Niu Gao's judgment!
Under his command, Niu Gao's ability to lead troops is definitely among the best.

If Niu Gao made a wrong judgment, then no one except himself could make the correct judgment.

It may even be that you yourself will make a wrong judgment. (End of this chapter)
