Chapter 114: The True Elite
……
As an emperor, Zhao Zhe also somewhat understood why Qin Shi Huang did this. After the unification of the whole country with a weapon made by sharp mechanical skills. Naturally, he is afraid that others will use tricks to create more powerful weapons to fight him. Only then did the books burn the Confucians, and burned the people and books that dissent political opinions, different ideas, and some people and books that made the people's thinking active. Consolidate his dominance. Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, even Zhao Zhe himself may do the same thing in his position.
But this age is very different from that time BC. If you are afraid of the power of the trick and blindly suppress it, sooner or later you will learn what it means to be a great shame from foreigners who advocate technology and have gradually developed it. Just like the Qing Dynasty in my memory, I always thought that I was a big country. After being bullied, I realized that the power of technology was so powerful. When the time comes, it will be too late to regret it.
This time, foreigners can sell backward arquebuses that are not used to Da Zhao. Next time, they will drive ironclad ships full of artillery to conquer the big war, invade Da Zhao, and loot Da Zhao's money and beauties. If Zhao Zhe didn't cross, he wouldn't know. But he is a time-traveler, and he knows that shameful history very well.
How can he let this history be re-enacted in his own hands or in the hands of his son? Even if you want to deduce, you have to play it completely backwards.
As for martial arts, not only can it not be ignored, but it must be vigorously developed. Zhao Zhe can see those special forces with strong individual combat capabilities. A Wang Pin Grandmaster and an ordinary soldier both carried a musket, and they both controlled the musket, so it is needless to say who died. Practicing martial arts can not only improve the individual's fighting ability, but also greatly improve the individual's quality, from physical strength to reaction ability, which is far from being comparable to ordinary people. Even in the era when Zhao Zhe traveled over, thermal weapons had developed to the extreme. In the military, individual force is also highly respected. A nation, a race, without a strong physique, no matter how well the development of weapons is, it is also scum.
returned to the palace, and first went to Kunning Palace to visit the pregnant queen. So he stayed in the Yang Zhai and spent the night served by several maids.
The next time, Zhao Zhe called the national teacher Void Zi, Wang Pin Grandmaster Yun Bingmeng, and several first-class masters. Let's go together, not far outside the Forbidden City, in a guard under the jurisdiction of the forbidden army. The guards of the forbidden army, both in terms of accommodation and training, far exceeded those of ordinary armies. And this guard was supposed to be a place that could provide a living and training for 5,600 people and horses.
Today, there are only about 200 people stationed here. But these two hundred people have three common characteristics. First, they are all very young, the oldest is not more than twenty-five years old. Second, its personal combat power is between the fifth and fourth grades. Third, everyone is innocent and loyal to Zhao Zhe.
Zhao Zhe asked the Void Son and those first-class masters to search the entire forbidden army, the Imperial Forest Army, the Hussar Army, the Imperial Guard, the Jinyi Guard, and two qualified Wudang disciples. It took more than 200 young elites to come together. Don't underestimate them, even Qin Yun, the current commander of the imperial guards, only used the help of a large amount of wasted Pei Yuan Dan to upgrade from the second rank to the first grade. And he has been evaluated by Yun Bingmeng as a martial arts wizard, if the emperor does not hesitate to give him the Creation Pill, it is very likely that in a few years, at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, he will be able to try to break through to the Wang Pin Grandmaster.
And these two hundred people, Void Zi and Yun Bingmeng have also been evaluated. Without the aid of elixir, there is a certain possibility that the surname will produce a grandmaster in the next few decades. But if the cost of Pei Yuan Dan is not counted, within two years, the vast majority of people will be promoted to the second-grade realm. It's just that when they reach the second grade, the effect of ordinary Peiyuan Dan on them is not strong, unless Zhao Zhe is willing to give up one creation pill per person, if he wants to be promoted to the first grade, the shortest is probably five or six years, and the shortest time to be promoted to grandmaster is at least fifteen or six years.
Of course, if there is an endless amount of pills to support it, there is also a certain possibility that the surname will create dozens or even hundreds of grandmasters within ten years. But is there an endless elixir? So, it's just delusional.
But more than 200 second-grade masters are already an extremely huge force. If the Void Son or a Wang Pin Grandmaster like Yun Bingmeng commanded these two hundred people, the comprehensive combat strength should not be inferior to the five thousand six hundred guards in the forbidden army. Stepping on an ordinary martial arts sect is as simple as playing. Of course, in this army, Zhao Zhe's most ideal commander is Qin Yun, who has just reached the realm of Yipin. Although it was impossible for Qin Yun to break through to the realm of Wang Pin Grandmaster in a short period of time, his potential was extremely strong, far surpassing that of his master Void Zi.
Yes, when it's okay, Qin Yun will also cultivate with these people. Conduct military training together, and practice the skills of fighting together instead of fighting in the rivers and lakes.
For this reason, Zhao Zhe also specially selected a martial arts secret book called "Breaking the Heavens" from the royal treasury, copied it and handed it over to them for cultivation. This sky-breaking trick is naturally boasting to the point of being invincible in the world. But when Void Zi and Zhao Zhe chose this cheatbook, it was not for the strength of its boasting, but for this heaven-breaking book, which is extremely compatible with surnames. Even a person who has reached the level of a Wang Pin Grandmaster can revise this secret book, but it will take some time to transform the internal force. However, when you have cultivated the Heaven-Breaking Technique, it is not possible to cultivate other secret books.
Of course, Zhao Zhe is not very satisfied with this little effect. Continue to let Xiao Duozi's East Factory search for natural treasures everywhere. Not only that, some medicinal herbs that can be planted should be planted in the deep mountains and old forests as much as possible. Although those things will not have a strong effect until a hundred years or even hundreds of years later, Zhao Zhe has always left a fortune for future generations. Second, Zhao Zhe also has some expectations, hoping that if the legend can break through the realm of Grandmaster Wang Pin and enter that mysterious and unknown realm, his lifespan will be greatly increased. At least a few hundred years or something like that. Then he can do a lot of things.
After all, the cultivation method left by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was not a joke. He has cultivated so far, and he has not even reached ten months, but he has already reached the fifth rank. Although there is the effect of Pei Yuan Dan in it. But such a speed has already made the Void Zi and Yun Bingmeng speechless. As far as they know, no matter how good a genius is, no matter how good the cultivation method is, even if he takes medicine, he will not have this effect.
Not to mention Zhao Zhe's cultivation progress. Zhao Zhe himself is also very concerned about this army, which will be quite bullish in the future, and will come to visit from time to time to reward them with something to increase their loyalty. It's just that he is really not satisfied with the scale of only 200 people.
After checking their cultivation progress, they encouraged them and let them train separately. Instead, he discussed with Void Zi, Yun Bingmeng and others whether to select some young talents from other armies and rivers and lakes to join this team. Zhao Zhe, two hundred people, now let one be picked out and put into the rivers and lakes, how can he be regarded as a young talent, a rising star.
After contemplating for a while, Void Zi said: "The other armies naturally don't have much of a problem, if the whole army is selected, it is estimated that Poor Dao will be able to pick out at least two hundred or so more." After all, the emperor's pro-army is already the best of the best in the whole [***] team. Naturally, the proportion of young talents and masters in the rest of the army cannot be so high. Moreover, we also require a clean family background, good character, loyalty to the emperor, and so on. After a little hesitation, the void said in a deep voice: "As for the rivers and lakes, there are hundreds of young talents who can reach such a level at such a young age, and they can be found in the entire rivers and lakes. But let's not mention that among these hundreds of people, they belong to black and white, and their surnames are uneven. What's more, most of these outstanding young people are the future hopes of various sects and the mainstay of the future. I'm afraid that none of the sects are willing to put their future foundation on joining the army and becoming a soldier. ”
"Hmph, the whole world is not the king's land." Zhao Zhe said coldly: "What black and white, all the major sects." Aren't they the people of my Great Zhao Empire? Joining the army to serve the country should be a matter of course. Void, you find someone to investigate, and then draw up a list of eligible people, and issue a conscription order after giving it to me. If you agree with the sect, I will naturally be rewarded. A sect that hides and refuses to obey conscription orders. Whoever disagrees and opposes me, my army will crush their sects and erase them from the history of the rivers and lakes. ”
"Your Majesty~" Yun Bingmeng's face changed and he exhaled.
"What's Bingmeng's opinion?" Zhao Zhe's attitude towards her was slightly better.
Yun Bingmeng gritted his silver teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this move is too brutal. After all, people in the rivers and lakes will always be a little uneducated. ”
"Brutal?" Zhao Zhe looked at her eyes, his face became slightly indifferent, and his voice was a little excited: "When the Houjin barbarians invaded my Liaodong border and brutalized my people of Dazhao." My soldiers, with their blood, their lives to resist the enemy, with their blood and head to protect the people of Liaodong. I believe that at the moment of their sacrifice, they died with pride and glory. Because they knew that although they were dead, they repelled the barbarian Houjin barbarians and protected the people. And what about the charlatans? How many of them went to Liaodong to help me fight? I know that some people have gone to Liaodong to support. That's just a few, though. Most people are fighting with their own people in the rivers and lakes. Could it be that my army, my soldiers, is this kind of person protecting? Their lives died in vain? Their blood was shed in vain? What about the Jianghu people? Why should you have the privilege of not contributing to the country? ”
"Yes, I'm sorry." Yun Bingmeng's heart trembled when he said it, and he said apologetically in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I misunderstood you." ”
