Zhu Ao looked at herself, the little queen who still had a childish face, and felt happy in her heart, she was a naïve person, and couldn't help but smile and enlighten her: "Where did the history that the queen read come from? ”

Sun Yunqi didn't know what he meant by asking, he thought about it for a while, and still said one by one, "Naturally, they all come from history books." ”

Zhu Ao put his arm around Sun Yunqi's shoulder, and with his other hand, he kept scribbling on the paper, and said with a smile: "In other words, these things are not seen by the queen herself, they are all told to the queen by others." ”

Sun Yunqi Bingxue was smart, and at this time she naturally guessed the sound of Zhu Ao's words, but she was a very thoughtful person, so she would not say it directly, but followed Zhu Ao's words and said, "The concubine is not a person born thousands of years ago, so naturally she has not seen it with her own eyes." ”

Men have been good teachers since ancient times, and Zhu Ao is no exception, seeing his queen showing such a white appearance, he couldn't help but give her popular science: "There is a saying that 'hearing is false, seeing is believing', since the queen has not seen it with her own eyes, how can she be sure that what she says in the book is the truth." As far as this king knows, Liu Xiu's record was compiled under the personal supervision of him and Yin Lihua's son Liu Zhuang, how could the book say bad things about Yin Lihua. If Yin Lihua is really harmless to humans and animals, how can she squeeze Guo Shengtong out of power. When Li Shimin was the king of Qin, didn't his wife want him to be the crown prince and emperor? The eldest grandson estimated that he also interfered in Li Shimin's military affairs, how many conspiracies there were between husband and wife in the dead of night, how could outsiders know about these things? ”

Although he felt that what Zhu Ao said was reasonable, Sun Yunqi still didn't want him to think that he was interested in military politics, not to mention that she didn't have much interest at all, so she nodded slightly and said: "What the prince said is reasonable, but the concubine is a woman, and she really doesn't know much about military affairs, so she doesn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of misleading the prince's major affairs." ”

Zhu Ao patted her on the back and smiled softly: "Okay, this king won't go around in circles with you anymore, let's just say it, this king wants to raise a soldier." ”

"Monk?" Sun Yunqi looked at Zhu Ao with a surprised face, she hadn't heard of this word, the four gentlemen of the Warring States were all known for raising soldiers, and then they raised either chickens and dogs, or hypocritical and pretentious, and there were only a few people who could really be put to use, on the contrary, there were no professional households in the Qin State, but its military strength and national strength were the strongest.

Sun Yunqi really didn't understand why Zhu Ao, who has always been known for his pragmatism, suddenly admired the false name of a monk, could it be that as the book says, no matter how rational a person is, he can't escape the work of vanity?

Sun Yunqi looked at Zhu Ao with a pair of big eyes, and said in a tentative tone: "Why does the prince suddenly want to raise a soldier?" Didn't the prince often teach us not to make a name for themselves? ”

Zhu Ao pinched her chin and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, queen, this king is not for fame, but for profit." This king raised no other warriors, but samurai. ”

In later generations, Zhu Ao often visited some historical and military forums, and read the analysis of the military quality of various countries and dynasties in the world, and what could arouse his great interest was that in addition to the Ming army founded by Lao Zhu, there were only three armies left, which were the Tang Army, the German Army and the Japanese Army.

Zhu Ao is not a person who admires foreigners and deeply hates the harm caused to China by Japanese militarism, but Zhu Ao believes that the success of any person or a country is not completely accidental, and it must have its own advantages. Through the comparison of these three countries, Zhu Ao finally discovered that the reason why their armies were more fierce was because of the same thing - the sergeant aristocratic class.

The Tang Dynasty was originally a dynasty established by the aristocracy, and the pillar of its power was the military aristocracy.

This is because the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were not brainless rich second generations, but a group of people with strong self-motivation and enthusiastic spirit, they began to receive education from a very young age, reading and writing, riding horses and archery, swords, guns and sticks, which is also their biggest advantage over the commoners. In peacetime, they can rely on their own talents and the help of their families to rise step by step, and in war years, they can rely on their own martial arts and sophisticated equipment that their families can afford to kill the enemy and serve the country, and make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, although the imperial examination system was developed in the Tang Dynasty, due to the existence of a large scholar family, scholars from poor families have been suppressed for a long time. After the Song Dynasty, after the disaster of the White Horse Post launched by Zhu Wen and decades of war, the scholar class suffered a huge blow, and this was the glorious period of the development of the imperial examination system.

The reason why the German army is good at fighting is not only because of its excellent weapons, but also because it has a Junker military aristocracy that has received good education and training since childhood and has always inherited the iron-blooded spirit of Germany.

As for Japan, many people think that it is a country of great luck, that it was nothing before the Meiji Restoration, and after the Meiji Restoration, with a certain amount of luck, it became a world power.

In fact, this perception is wrong. In fact, Japan has always been a middle power, during the Tang Dynasty, Japan was defeated by the Tang Army, not because they were too weak, but because the Tang Army was too strong, at that time Japan had begun to repeatedly invade the Korean Peninsula, and also established its own colonies, and even had Baekje, a vassal country, how can it be said to be weak?

During the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, failed to conquer Japan twice, and most people thought that the reason was that Japan's luck was too good, and the Yuan army caught up with the hurricane twice, so that the whole army was wiped out.

Zhu Ao has always disliked these views, not because he is Hari, but because he thinks that if he wants to defeat his opponent, he must first face up to his opponent.

Kublai Khan's two failed expeditions to Japan were due to weather such as typhoons, but more importantly, the Japanese samurai at that time were good at fighting and were able to hold out until the arrival of the typhoon.

Let's start with the First Battle of Monge, which is also known as the Battle of Bunei because it took place during the Bunei period in Japan. Japan was the world's largest producer and exporter of silver during the Yuan Dynasty and the centuries before it, hence the name Treasure Island.

In order to gain Japan's wealth and satisfy his ambitions, Kublai Khan ordered Japan to pay tribute. After receiving a categorical refusal from Japan, Kublai Khan nevertheless set out to conquer Japan.
