Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 145 Gathering 80 troops?
Nowadays, Zhu Houzhao, who has always been successful, has failed in the Sui Dynasty, which naturally makes them panic.

If Zhu Houzhao gets angry with others because of this, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will cause another bloody storm.

How could they not be afraid of this? How could they not be afraid?

You know, until now, corrupt officials are beheaded every day at the Meridian Gate to show their imitation.

At this time, no one wants their head to appear on such an occasion.

Therefore, everyone was trembling and speechless, waiting for Zhu Houzhao's Long Yan to be furious.

What surprised everyone was that after Zhu Houzhao opened the secret message, his brows furrowed, but they were far from furious.

He looked at the contents of the intelligence, nodded and laughed: "It's true that no one can become the emperor, but I underestimated Yang Guang this time."

After hearing this, the ministers were even more frightened, and they all knelt on the ground and begged.

"Your Majesty, it is our incompetence that failed to complete His Majesty's mission!"

"I sincerely ask your Majesty to forgive me. I will work conscientiously in the future and not dare to neglect in the slightest."

"Although we failed in the Sui Dynasty this time, we did not gain nothing. Your Majesty, please don't be angry!"

……

Looking at the terrified ministers, Zhu Houzhao also smiled and murmured in his heart: "It seems they are really frightened!"

"angry?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the ministers with a smile on his face and said lightly: "It's too late for me to be happy, so why should I be angry?"

"Happy? Where does it come from?"

These words confused everyone present.

They looked at each other, speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.They really couldn't figure out what there was to be happy about.

"Even Yang Guang has hidden it so deeply, let alone the emperors of other countries."

Zhu Houzhao was extremely happy, laughed loudly, and said: "If my opponents are just some idiot emperors, then this road to world domination will be too boring."

"Nothing excites me more than fighting openly and secretly with the emperors of other countries. The more resourceful they are, the happier I will be."

He would rather that every one of his opponents is the kind of person who knows everything, rather than those who are just trying to gain fame.

What he cares about is the journey to world domination, not the final result.Of course, the final result is also very important. He, Zhu Houzhao, must dominate the world, but that is not what he values.

And when he said this, he also had his own confidence.

On the one hand, he has the golden finger of the system, which allows him to constantly sign in and obtain unparalleled things. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty is now on the right track and is no longer the previous Ming Dynasty that broke at the touch of a touch.

He is confident that he can lead the Ming Dynasty to become stronger, unify the world, and establish a politically clear world.

Now with the court and the Jianghu completely integrated, he has initially taken control of the entire Ming Dynasty.

In this case, it is time to deal with matters outside of the Ming Dynasty.

Next, his eyes will be on the whole world, not one Ming Dynasty.

Since the last time the Eight Swords of Yue King intervened in the Ming Dynasty, he also realized that the Ming Dynasty had completely revealed its strength to the world of Kyushu.

The eyes of all the countries in the world have also completely fallen on Ming Dynasty, and they have been secretly watching for Ming Dynasty, waiting for opportunities.

It can be said that the current countries will not give Ming too much time to develop.

But so what?
What does Zhu Houzhao have to fear?

When a man is established in the world, he should have great ambitions and achieve great achievements.

And his unparalleled achievement is to unify the world and plant the banner of the Ming Dynasty on every inch of land in Kyushu.

Let that sentence "Under the whole world, is it the king's land, and on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers" can be fully realized, instead of just an empty talk.

When he thought of this, he also looked at the ministers and said: "Since we failed to weaken the Great Sui this time, we will defeat him openly and openly."

"It's not a big deal. As a qualified emperor, you must learn to accept failure. This is the most basic principle."

"If this kind of situation happens again in the future, if it is not caused by you and others, just report it. How can I take my anger out on you?"

After hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but feel at ease.

Zhu Wuwu's expression also softened, and he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, many of the vassal kings have also donated their family properties after the last reprimand."

"We have checked all the ministers, and the princes of the feudal lords have only left some necessary property, and nothing more has been retained."

"Well, I guess they know each other." Zhu Houzhao also nodded with satisfaction and said: "Pass on my will and let them live in the capital with peace of mind and live for a thousand years!"

Those vassal kings were ignorant and incompetent, and all they wanted was to have food and clothing. Keeping them in the capital was a disguised form of imprisonment, preventing them from leaving the capital and causing harm to innocent people.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will convey your Majesty's wishes to you." Zhu Wulan lowered his head and said. Zhu Houzhao did not kill all the vassal kings, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, he was considered one of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. He just gave up his fiefdom and became an official in the court.

Yet at this moment.

Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border.

King Naning is recruiting troops outside the Great Wall. He has initially accumulated 20 troops and is now heading towards our border.

In addition, the Yuan Dynasty's 80-strong army is gathering rapidly, intending to go south and invade our Ming Dynasty border. "

"King Ning rebelled, and the Yuan Dynasty gathered 80 troops to go south and invade the Ming Dynasty?!"

As soon as this news came out, everyone was shocked.

The expressions of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty changed drastically, and their expressions became extremely bleak.

"Prince Ning? Wasn't his house confiscated? Why did he appear suddenly?"

"Dayuan is gathering troops at this time, I'm afraid it will be a menacing attack!"

"Who says otherwise? In the past, even if Dayuan went south, he would only fight against the autumn wind, and the battle would never be as big as it is now."

……

The bad news one after another almost made them collapse.

Originally, as long as the Ming Dynasty continued to develop steadily like this, it would not take long to destroy the Yuan Dynasty.

But now Dayuan took the initiative to attack Ming Dynasty while Ming Dynasty was still in its infancy, but it caused Ming Dynasty's good situation to take a turn for the worse.

After all, the Yuan Dynasty held a large piece of grassland in its hands and had a strong military force, which was far beyond what the Ming Dynasty could compare with now.

In fact, everyone is well aware of Dayuan's gathering of troops and invades, and understands that this is inevitable.

But what they didn't expect was that Kublai Khan would be so ambitious and move so quickly.

Gather 80 troops?
What is this concept?
Even if Dayuan, with its strong soldiers and horses, could gather such a force, it would probably be overwhelming.

With such a formation and such movement, how could it be as simple as coming to Ming Dynasty to fight the autumn wind?
Obviously, Kublai Khan did this to destroy the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop to repay the shame of signing the contract.

But even so, the ministers still had some doubts in their hearts.

Kublai Khan mobilized his troops in this way and used all his strength, but didn't it create a vacancy in the rear? Isn't he afraid that his home base will be stolen by other countries?
The consequences of a showdown with the Ming Dynasty would only be a lose-lose outcome, and Kublai Khan would not fail to understand this truth.

They still couldn't figure out the reason and confidence of Kublai Khan.

And this time the military front also made everyone tremble with fear, and they felt a chill and chill that they had not seen for a long time.

Although the Ming Dynasty's national power was weak, the countries balanced each other, and no major wars ever occurred.

They have always lived in the temple for a long time and enjoyed decades of peace. The sudden onset of this war also made them somewhat unexpected.

They were vaguely aware that decades of peace and stability were coming to an end.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

Zhu Houzhao sneered, his eyes as cold as frost, filled with murderous intent.

It was within his expectations that Kublai Khan could act like this.

It's just that in his eyes, Kublai Khan's all-out attack this time was a desperate act, a desperate act.

As for King Ning's gathering of 20 troops, he even sneered and dismissed it.

Ever since King Ning absconded, he had sensed something was wrong.

These 20 soldiers and horses are probably supported by Dayuan, and now King Ning is just a puppet.

And the reason why they used the banner of Prince Ning was just to disrupt the internal situation of Ming Dynasty in the name of establishing a new master, so as to achieve the goal of self-destruction.

But now, the entire Ming Dynasty has surrendered under his feet, and all the great vassal kings have been imprisoned in the capital by him in disguise.

He wanted to see who else in the Ming Dynasty dared to support King Ning.
