Chapter 1885

Any existence or plan that threatens the rule will be wiped out by the ruling class, even if this plan is really good and can increase the power of the Great Ming several times, the ruling class will not use it.

Just like the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi and Qianlong were both people who were proficient in Western learning and understood the benefits of science.

However, why didn't they learn advanced Western technology?

The reason is simple: science is beneficial to China, but it would shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's rule.

Therefore, no matter how good this science was, it would not be accepted by the ruling class at the time, and they even had to close the country to delay the entry of science into the Central Plains, in order to achieve the goal of stabilizing their rule.

The Sunflower Manual is also such a secret manual!

Its existence only cultivated a few useful eunuch experts, used to guard against martial artists entering the forbidden palace.

As for other times, the rulers adopted a strategy of strict prevention, and if anyone in the forbidden palace dared to practice the Sunflower Manual privately, what awaited them was definitely death.

And the leakage of the Sunflower Manual happened decades ago.

Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, and the Ming Cult made no small contribution.

Coming from the grassroots, Zhu Yuanzhang knew too well the harm of martial artists, and secretly set a plan to weaken the martial arts world.

The Sunflower Manual was a move in this plan, and it was precisely the sharp weapon that the Great Ming Dynasty released through Southern Shaolin to provoke the martial arts world.

Southern Shaolin faithfully executed the plan in this, releasing the Sunflower Manual, causing Huashan, the Five Mountains, and the Sun Moon Holy Cult to fight each other...

The plan was perfect, and the power of the martial arts world was weakened bit by bit 0......

Originally, it should have been like this.

As a result—a few months ago, the Sunflower Manual released back then became a source of chaos.

This completely exceeded the expectations of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Martial artists, didn't they only practice the secret manual privately after getting it?

How could they unscrupulously spread the divine art widely?

More than 100,000 people practicing the Evil-Warding Sword Art at the same time, this is what kind of powerful force, even if the combat power of the Great Ming army was still maintained at its peak, to eliminate this force, they would have to suffer heavy losses.

What's more, the combat power of the Great Ming army now is not what it used to be.

If this group of people rushed to the imperial palace, could the few imperial guards in the Forbidden City really resist?

"Speak, what should be done?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the ministers, rubbed his temples, hoping that everyone could give a solution.

The ministers looked at each other, not daring to speak at all.

As scholars, although they had never practiced martial arts.

However, they also knew the methods of those martial arts roughs.

Even if they didn't know before, recently there were many swordsmen in the capital, and the sword art that struck like the wind also let them know the trickiness of this matter.

If they met face-to-face on the battlefield, these people might not be able to resist the continuous shooting of strong crossbows and hard bows, nor could they resist the firepower of cannons.

However, how could they fight head-on with the imperial army?

"Your Majesty, why not release the news to attract them to gather in one place. Then, the imperial court will use absolute firepower coverage to wipe them all out."

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Then, what reason should be used?"

"Your Majesty, those martial artists only seek fame and profit. Why not have someone secretly provoke them, and have someone challenge Shaolin. We will then secretly incite them, and perhaps most of the martial artists in the world will flock to Shaolin, fighting each other to the death. This is our opportunity!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "This plan is brilliant, gather all the artillery and secretly transport them to Mount Song, I want to finish it in one battle. In this battle, I will personally supervise the battle!"

"Your Majesty, think twice."

"Yes, Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, how can you personally take risks?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "No need to say more. If this battle cannot succeed, I'm afraid there won't be any role for me as an emperor in the future."

He saw it very clearly, the trend of the martial arts world was already great.

If it couldn't be wiped out, the dynasty would be afraid of declining to the extreme.
