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

Not to mention the military generals, even the army, apart from some special armies, those armies are just numbers.

Their military demands are not very high. For example, in the current wars in the Song Dynasty, many times, a few thousand scattered Ming troops can directly suppress tens of thousands of Song Dynasty troops without even suffering much loss themselves.

The gap in combat power between the two sides is simply too big.

Moreover, these troops were not the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. If elite troops, such as the Xianzhen Camp, were really sent to fight, Zhu Houzhao estimated that the Xianzhen Camp could directly chase after 10,000 Song troops.

The military quality of the Song Dynasty army was really low, mainly because the situation of the country's empty-handed soldiers was too obvious.

You can join the army and receive military pay when you are in your teens or seven or eight years old, or you can still be in the army and receive military pay when you are in your fifties or sixties, or even if you have died, you can still occupy a position.

To be honest, the Song Dynasty's attitude towards the army has always given people a very contradictory feeling. They look down on military men and wish that all military men would be servile in front of the masters.

A famous general like Di Qing in the Northern Song Dynasty should have been treated well, but in the end, he was targeted in various ways and could only survive in misery.

Whoever wants to stay in such a shabby country can stay there.

But for some low-level soldiers, the Song Dynasty was actually quite good compared to other countries, at least the salaries were high.

In history, what did the Southern Song Dynasty use to resist the attack of the Yuan Dynasty?
That was the Yuan Empire at its peak. Without the courage of the Song Dynasty, what could it use to fight back?
It was because they had plenty of money, but later the Southern Song Dynasty also suffered from severe inflation, and then the Southern Song Dynasty was gone.

Of course, the high salaries paid to the army by the Southern Song Dynasty were actually acceptable. After all, the soldiers were already frustrated enough, with no status or position. You couldn't possibly not even pay them, right?
Otherwise, why would they work so hard for you? Is it just for love?
The Song Dynasty was doomed to fail. In any case, Zhu Houzhao did not feel that the Song Dynasty gave him much resistance. The situation of the Southern Song Dynasty was really a world of difference from that of the Yuan Dynasty.

At this moment, the aristocratic families can only rely on Yang Guang and Li Shimin.

However, Yang Guang was quickly eliminated by them.

There is no way. Whether it is Yang Guang or Yang Jian, they usually suppress the aristocratic families.

It would be strange if these aristocratic families were happy with the Sui Dynasty. At least when they had the choice, they still chose Li Shimin.

Regardless of whether it was false or pretentious, Li Shimin was indeed a very outstanding monarch. This time, it was also the aristocratic families who began to help Li Shimin.

There is no way, who made Yang Guang a bad person himself, always liking to suppress the aristocratic families?
Those aristocratic families are not meant to be bullied.

If Yang Jian were still alive, they would have been more tolerant. After all, although Yang Jian would deal with them, he had a legitimate reason and he would make everyone convinced.

Although those aristocratic families knew that Yang Jian was targeting them, they could accept it.

After all, the aristocratic families and the royal family are inherently opposed and unified. Not only does the royal family want to target the aristocratic families, but the aristocratic families also want to gain more power from the royal family.

There is no problem with this. Yang Jian has struck a good balance. As long as you play the game within the rules, everyone will be happy to play with you.

But Yang Guang was a bad chess player. When he did things, he completely disregarded the consequences and made it clear that he was targeting the aristocratic families.

It would be strange if those aristocratic families could accept such a huge loss.

If possible, who would be willing to accept such unclear targeting?
Not to mention those aristocratic families who have lofty ambitions.

The aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty also contributed a lot to the attack on Yang Guang. Even the Yuwen family participated in it.

"Hmph, it turns out that what Your Majesty said is true. Yang Guang is a waste." After receiving this information, Zhu Yuyan directly called out Shi Zhixuan who was still in seclusion.

Originally, Shi Zhixuan was still somewhat dissatisfied with Zhu Yuyan's behavior.

He is in seclusion, and he wants to break through to become a land immortal.

Is it really okay for you to call me out like this?
What if I were to break through to become a land immortal?
Are you trying to target me by doing this?

However, after knowing the reason, Shi Zhixuan fell silent.

Damn it, this is such a big deal, he really needs to come to me on purpose.

Yang Guang was indeed a waste. When Yang Jian was still alive, the Sui Dynasty was so powerful. How come it became like this in less than 20 years?

Speaking of prodigal sons, I'm afraid Yang Guang will really go down in history.

He does not have Yang Jian's abilities, but he has Yang Jian's illnesses.

Yang Guang is also to blame for the current state of Sui. However, Shi Zhixuan never expected that Yang Guang, that guy, would be such a waste.

You have to know that there were 400,000 soldiers in the army. Even if there were 400,000 pigs, they couldn't be delivered so quickly.

Yang Guang and Zhao Kuangyin were simply the Dragon and Phoenix of the emperor world.

"Alas, the Sui Dynasty is doomed." Shi Zhixuan sighed lightly: "At this time, even if Yang Jian came back, it would be difficult to save the Sui Dynasty. If Yang Guang did not attack the Tang Dynasty and the main force was not destroyed, then the Sui Dynasty would still have hope. After all, the Tang Dynasty has a lot of things to rebuild and it will take a long time to recover.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty lost the support of Taoism, and now it is Buddhism that supports the Tang Dynasty, so those guys can still do whatever they want to suck blood from the country.

How can they govern the country? Buddhism doesn’t know how to do that.”

Having said that, Shi Zhixuan also sneered.

His Buddhist theories are comparable to those of any other eminent monk, and he is the most qualified to say such words.

The Immortal Seal Technique itself contains the concepts of Buddhist martial arts. Of course, Shi Zhixuan himself also highly approves of some Buddhist concepts, otherwise he would not learn them.

However, as a top strategist, he also looked down on Buddhism for its inaction in governing the country. Taoism could still promote the Huang-Lao school of thought, which was actually very useful for some countries that were in a state of disrepair.

Historically, Taoism was promoted during the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing. This changed during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.

This is also a very normal thing. During the reigns of Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, the Han Dynasty needed to recuperate and slowly restore its national strength.

But Liu Che didn't need to consider these things. His father and grandfather had prepared such a good foundation for him. They then found a wife and gave her two SSR general cards.

This is the dream of many emperors. (End of this chapter)
