Zongwu: Give you a chance and get a 10,000 times critical hit return!

In fact.

In Zhao Wuxian's opinion, the strength of the Song Dynasty's economy is only on the surface; the gap between the rich and the poor is too huge.

The treasury is empty and the people have no money.

Only the wealthy, prominent families, and scholar-official class are truly rich.

Military "weakness" is only superficial "weakness".

If you understand it in depth.

You will find that the Song Dynasty has no shortage of famous generals and strong armies.

"However, just being not weak is not enough!"

Zhao Wuxian pointed at the Imperial Guards and said, "Don't you think, Lord Shen, that the Imperial Guards are good-looking, but they are missing something?"

"What's missing?"

"Blood!" Zhao Wuxian said.

"These imperial guards who have never been on the battlefield cannot fight a tough battle!"

"The real elite soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty are often monopolized by the generals, each occupying a certain area."

Zhao Wuxian looked down at the warhorses.

The "Yang Family Generals", "Zhe Family Army" and "Zhong Family Army" are widely circulated among the people.

To the people, they protect the country and the people.

But for the court, especially the imperial rulers.

They belong to the unstable group and will threaten the imperial rule.

Through the ages.

Arrogance and conceit are extremely dangerous signals for any regime and must be dealt with in a timely manner.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty has always emphasized culture over military power.

This "Wu" does not suppress ordinary soldiers, but generals, in order to prevent the emergence of military towns and local governors.

After all, the beginning of the Song Dynasty's imperial power was the independence of military generals, which led to the later wearing of yellow robes and giving up military power with a toast.

In this era, military power is extremely important.

This mutual suspicion between court officials and border generals was one of the reasons for the Song Dynasty's repeated defeats in foreign wars.

And, because many policies are implemented by people.

As long as they are human, the policies will be easily misinterpreted when implemented.

The ultimate result was that the Song Dynasty's military expenditure was not low, but it was unable to produce any results.

In addition, the army of the Song Dynasty implemented a conscription system and was composed of the imperial army, garrison troops, local troops, foreign troops, and native troops.

But among them, the Imperial Guards were the regular army of the Song Dynasty, which were directly mobilized by the Privy Council, led by the three yamen and directly responsible to the emperor.

To prevent military rebellion.

In terms of the deployment of the imperial guards, roughly half of them were stationed in the capital, and the other half were stationed in various counties.

The military strength in the capital and the surrounding areas is roughly balanced so as to check and balance the internal and external forces.

At the same time, the "｀ ~ Geng Wu Law" was implemented, and the imperial guards in the capital and various states changed their garrisons regularly, so that soldiers would not know their generals, and generals would not have specialized soldiers.

It can be said that the Song Dynasty’s defenses against military generals can be summed up in one word: absolute!

but.

While the Song Dynasty suppressed military power, it treated military officers very generously.

"The Song Dynasty treated its military officials with generous salaries but little respect."

Not only does he have a high salary, but he can also provide for his wife.

This is essentially to calm the anger of military officers.

But it caused another problem.

Many nobles squeezed out the officer positions and collected salaries, causing the military expenditure to increase day by day.

Zhao Wuxian walked along the way, climbed to high places and looked around, trying to understand the military affairs. He also saw many runners, soldiers, and militia along the way.

He came to a conclusion.

Now the military of the Song Dynasty has become corrupt, and the danger of redundant soldiers is even more rampant.

Zhao Wuxian said, "I want the power of 10,000 soldiers, on the condition that Prince Jing's Mansion pays the capital 10 million taels every year in the future!"

Ten thousand people?

Ten million taels per year?

Zhuge Zhengwo was in deep thought.

If it was only 10,000 people, he thought Zhao Xu might agree.

Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Zhao Wuxian and said, "Now that Your Majesty has taken over the military power, what do you want to do?"

Zhao WuXian said: “Go out to sea and suppress the bandits!”

"Ok?"

Zhuge Zheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhao Wuxian to give him such an unexpected answer.

Zhao Wuxian smiled and said, "Shen Hou should know that Prince Jing's Mansion prefers business, right?"

"We have reached a cooperation agreement with the three countries and are preparing to open an ocean shipping route."

"But (Li Haohao) the overseas environment is not very good now, so an army is needed to protect merchant ships."

"Don't worry, Lord Shen."

"If I want to rebel now and march directly into the capital, who can stop me?"

Zhuge Zheng: I know what Zhao Wuxian said is the truth. Even Yan Kuangtu and Guan Qi were defeated. Who else can stop him?

Zhuge Zhengwo said, "Then I will report back to the emperor with my original words. As for how the emperor decides, that is his business!"

Zhao WuXian nodded and said, “No, no, I still need the Divine Marquis to help me put in a few nice words.”

"This [Ashura Pearl] should be of some help to the Divine Marquis in breaking through the realm!"

Zhao Wuxian took out the dark red [Ashura Pearl] condensed with the power of Shura and handed it to Zhuge Zhengwo.

Shura beads?

Zhuge Zhengwo was surprised.

He looked carefully.

This blood-colored bead, the size of a pigeon egg, contains extremely powerful energy.

This kind of energy made Zhuge Zhengwo feel pressured, as if he was facing a great master in the realm of heaven and man.

There were still wisps of evil spirit in it, as if there was a Shura standing in a sea of ​​blood, roaring and shouting.

Zhao Wuxian said: "This is condensed from the power of Asura from outside the domain, mixed with demonic nature, it is not suitable for ordinary people to use!"

"But the Divine Marquis' state of mind is extraordinary, so it shouldn't have any effect if used."

Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is too precious!"

Zhuge Zhengwo can feel that the power contained in this bead will definitely enable him to break through once it is thoroughly refined.

Zhao Wuxian said, “If this thing spreads outside, it will only cause misery. It is better to give it to the Divine Marquis to benefit the people!”

Zhuge Zheng thought about it. He was not a pedantic and rigid person. He took the [Shura Pearl] and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command!"

[Ding! You gave Zhuge Zhengwo a Shura Pearl! ]

[You trigger a thousand times critical return! ]

[You get a Shura Heart! ]

Chapter 290: Shura's Body, "Half Brocade", Zhuge Zhengwo enters the realm of heaven and man!

Heart of Shura?

what?

Zhao Wuxian was surprised when he heard the items returned by the system.

[Heart of Shura: A special heart. After transplantation, you can obtain the body of Shura! ]

Zhao Wuxian read the system introduction and raised his eyebrows slightly.

This [Heart of Shura] is actually a rare object similar to immortal bones or divine body.

[Shura Body] is extraordinary. People with this physique can achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing magic martial arts.

Not only that, [Shura Body] also has the ability of self-healing, and its strength is comparable to the golden body of Buddhism.

The Shura Palace, one of the true sects of the magic path, practices the "Shura Sutra" with the goal of cultivating the "Shura Body".

Now, it can be done by transplanting the [Heart of Shura].

of course.

Transplanting and fusing sacral bones does not mean that you will become the strongest after transplanting them.

It requires a slow process of mutual adaptation to gradually unleash the latent power of the sacral bone.

If you transplant the [Heart of Shura] first, then practice the "Shura Sutra".

Both become one.

I believe it will create a peerless master.

Zhuge Zhengwo held the [Ashura Pearl] and showed a hint of surprise.

What a powerful force!

Zhuge Zhengwo could feel the pure energy in it, like wave after wave of tides, surging towards me.
