Comprehensive martial arts Ming Dynasty: Summon Li Hanyi at the beginning

The Northern Song Dynasty seems to have been suffering from Mercury retrograde in recent years. It seems that since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, life in the Northern Song Dynasty has not been easy.

Three consecutive years of war also made the people of the Northern Song Dynasty miserable.

Originally, the Northern Song Dynasty was considered one of the richest countries in the entire Shenwu Continent, but now, the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty has almost collapsed, and it is not much better than the previous Qing Dynasty.

Although this is already quite powerful, there is still a big gap between it and the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It's not like the Northern Song Dynasty didn't come to Zhu Houzhao for help before, but Zhu Houzhao refused to help.

Today is different from the past. Zhu Houzhao was worried that the Northern Song Dynasty would be invaded by the Mongolian Yuan. When the time comes, the Southern Song Dynasty will be surrounded by the Mongolian Yuan. Then it will be slowly captured by the Mongolian Yuan. By then, the Ming Dynasty will also be surrounded by the Mongolian Yuan.

But it is different now. After knowing that the Southern Song Dynasty may annex the Northern Song Dynasty at any time, from a strategic point of view, if the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty invaded the Northern Song Dynasty, then the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty would not be bordering on land.

Neither did Zhu Houzhao.You have to worry, because the Southern Song Dynasty became stronger, they came to backstab the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty needs to invade the Liao Kingdom, and then slowly attack the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

As for the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao still looked forward to Temujin leading an army to confront the Southern Song Dynasty, and then there would be a lose-lose situation.

It seems interesting if Temujin and Yue Fei fight, right?

However, Zhu Houzhao's thoughts could not be told to the Northern Song Dynasty. After all, Zhao Ji was still Zhu Houzhao's nominal father-in-law.

After Zhu Houzhao tidied up, he also met Cai Jing in a small building.

Looking at Cai Jing, who had not seen him for two years, he was much older than before. Even Zhu Houzhao was sighing for a while. It seems that Cai Jing's life was not very easy during this period.

"Prime Minister Cai, long time no see!"Zhu Houzhao said with regret.

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Cai Jing couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. Do you know how he spent the past two years?

Not only did he have to travel to various countries, he also needed to raise military rations for Zhao Ji. , this is also a broken leg.

He did not need to do these things before. After all, the Northern Song Dynasty was still a very stable country before.

But now, the Northern Song Dynasty is about to fall apart. Cai Jing said that it is too difficult for him.

Many People say that he is a traitor and a sycophant, but who knows that he is the one who fights the most for the Northern Song Dynasty.

Just look at his white hair.

"I have met His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"Cai Jing said helplessly to Zhu Houzhao.

"I know your purpose, Prime Minister Cai, but you have to know my current difficulty!"Zhu Houzhao stared at Cai Jing and said:"Since I came to the throne, in three years, I have mobilized more than one million troops.

Even what the emperors of the Ming Dynasty accumulated have been almost consumed by me.

Today's Ming Dynasty is in a period of recuperation, and it is really not suitable to send troops to attack the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty to help the Northern Song Dynasty!

You know, even today, where our Ming Dynasty and Meng Yuan are fighting, there are still nearly 350,000 troops fighting against Meng Yuan.

And I am still in the midst of war in the five northern provinces, where we have also invested 300,000 troops one after another.

Now my Ming Dynasty's military strength is also a bit overwhelmed!

If I continue to start a war, it will be a bit of a militancy.

It is impossible for me to help the Northern Song Dynasty with the future of the Ming Dynasty."

Without giving Cai Jing a chance to cry, Zhu Houzhao complained directly. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"……"Cai Jing was also dumbfounded. He did not expect that Zhu Houzhao would be so direct.

Well, even Cai Jing has to admit that what Zhu Houzhao said makes sense.

After all, other countries are actually aware of the specific situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe in a few years, the Ming Dynasty will recover and its national strength will be enough to compete with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, but now, the Ming Dynasty's national strength may really be too much.

This is not a problem of silver and food, but a problem of the army and officials.

Zhu Houzhao's army should be quite exhausted, and as for officials, emmmm, it is actually Zhu Houzhao's own fault.

If Zhu Houzhao hadn't been so enthusiastic about killing at that time, there wouldn't be no officials available now.

"Your Majesty, we don’t need the Ming Dynasty to increase its large-scale attack on the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Can we let the Ming Dynasty’s army pretend to attack the Liao Kingdom and let the Liao Kingdom retreat from our territory in the Song Dynasty?"After careful consideration, Cai Jing cautiously suggested to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao also touched his chin when he heard this. He did not expect that Cai Jing would make such a request.

Pretend to attack the Liao Kingdom?

But if he really wanted to If he did it himself, how could the Ming Dynasty pretend to attack the Liao Kingdom?

If he wanted to fight, he would just defeat the Liao Kingdom!! Because of the years of war with the Northern Song Dynasty, the army that the Liao Kingdom can now provide is actually only thirty. Around ten thousand, this number is within the acceptable range of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao has also arranged candidates to attack the Liao Kingdom. If Wu Qi were to attack the Liao Kingdom, it would probably scare the world, right? After all, this is a country. Wu Qi, who is known as the military strategist and the sub-sage!!

Moreover, Wu Qi's reputation was gained by killing. He used more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the Qin State's 500,000-strong army, which caused the Qin State to be 253 before Shang Yang's reform. At a disadvantage.

The world has always thought that Wu Qi is dead, but Zhu Houzhao directly summoned Wu Qi to destroy the Liao Kingdom. This is somewhat like a cannon to kill mosquitoes. How can the

Liao Kingdom be so virtuous and capable? Zhu Houzhao valued him so much.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao did not think of Wu Qi at first. He just considered that he did not have enough civil servants. After occupying the Liao Kingdom in the future, he needed to arrange an official who could both fight and govern the place.

Such an official , Zhu Houzhao had a few in his hands, but they were not particularly suitable for going to the Liao Kingdom. Only then did Zhu Houzhao remember that Wu Qi was not only good at fighting, but also a politician who could reform. Let Wu

Qi Managing a Liao Kingdom does not seem to be difficult.

Now the Northern Song Dynasty directly came up with reasons to let Ming attack the Liao Kingdom. Zhu Houzhao felt that it would be difficult for him to survive if he did not attack.

"But Ming Dynasty also has a lot of problems at the moment!! Zhu Houzhao said hesitantly.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao like this, Cai Jing couldn't help but feel happy and said quickly:"If your Majesty has any concerns, you can tell me!""
