After Zhao Yuanzuo finished talking about the Taoist skills, he glanced at the people in the conference room and asked, "Do you have anything else to ask?"
An old man stood up and said: "Since you said that the Taoist sect should practice pure cultivation and escape from the world, then why? When the Taoist sect is in troubled times, there are still so many people appearing? In all dynasties, Taoist sects have come out in troubled times, and Buddhism has closed in troubled times. What about the door’s explanation?”
"Then you have been deceived. Those who emerge in troubled times are all disciples of the Taoist sect. There are very few real people from the Taoist sect. However, the Buddhist sect is very good at causing trouble in troubled times."
Zhao Yuanzuo looked at the old man, nodded to him, and said that the old man could sit down and ask questions without standing up.
"As for Buddhism, that's scary. In the past, Buddhism was directly involved in warlords' melee and used several methods to elect emperors. For example, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Xiao Yan, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, and Empress Wu Zetian were all related to Buddhism, or they were involved in Buddhism, or enter Buddhism.”
The old man asked again: "I'm asking about Taoism, and you're talking about Buddhism. Are the two related?"
"Don't worry, let's talk about the Taoist sect. What the Taoist sect used to do was not bad at all. In the late Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Rebellion were played by the Taoist sect personally. Later, Zhang Lu was also a separatist warlord. Later, Sun En and Lu Xun's Five Pecks of Rice Rebellion killed an entire dynasty. The disaster of elixirs in the Jin Dynasty, and then successive dynasties continued to reward Taoist sects for thousands of years. Isn't that just asking for immortality? , Taoism has always taken the high-level route, while Buddhism wants everything. So, everyone suppresses Buddhism and ignores Taoism. Taoism’s methods are no worse than Buddhism. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the two sides But when it came to electing emperors directly, Yang Jian, Li Shimin, and later Wu Zetian and Li Longji all played this way."
"What you said about Taoism coming out of troubled times, and Buddhism closing its doors in troubled times, are all made up by yourselves. Just listen to them, don't believe them."
Everyone in the conference room frowned after hearing this and thought carefully. After a while, someone asked again, "The books brought back are not only from the Buddhist and Taoist families, but also from the generals. Can you tell me?" Would you like to talk about it?"
"Okay, I originally wanted to talk about Jiangmen's skills."
"You say they are general martial arts. This is not accurate. Those are all names changed by each general. The original names cannot be tested. However, the origins of these martial arts point to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times. The earliest ones were all What are the techniques of strengthening the body and exercising the body? There is no specific name for such things. It was not until later that King Wu conquered Zhou and divided the kingdoms. All these things were given to the vassal states, and each country had a share as a form of founding. The foundation has been circulated among the nobles, and it has become a secret tradition among the common people, and it has no longer been circulated among the common people."
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of schools of thought all came from noble families. They began to teach their own doctrines to the world. For the safety of their disciples and their descendants, and to separate themselves from others, they changed these things. It became one’s own thing and was handed over to the disciples along with one’s own teachings. So, look at the scholars during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which one did not have the experience of going into battle to kill the enemy, and which one was not first-class at that time? Warriors, they are recruiting more and more disciples, and this thing is spreading more and more widely."
"It wasn't until the Warring States Period that the first army that collectively practiced this thing appeared, and that was the Wei Wu soldiers of the Wei State. A pure body-refining army once suppressed the world, and then all countries in the world set up their own body-refining armies. The army consists of the light cavalry of Zhao, the armored men of South Korea, the heavy cavalry of Yan, the martial arts of Qi, the armored chariots of Chu, and finally the Qin army dominates the world."
Zhao Yuanzuo was silent for a while before continuing: "The Qin State is a nation-wide body-training country. It is the first country in history to have a full body-training army. It is also the first country to have a nationwide body-training army. Therefore, the Qin army has unified The world."
"You said Qin was the first, so there is a second?"
"If Qin is so strong, why did it attack Chu twice?"
"Since Qin is so powerful, how could it die in the second generation?"
A group of people started questioning again.
Zhao Yuanzuo looked at them and said: "You are right. The Qin State defeated the Chu State twice with the strength of the whole country, and it was indeed the second generation that died."
"After the marriage between Qin and Chu, the State of Chu also learned from the State of Qin and established a large body-refining army. Nearly half of the army of King Chu was already trained, and the private army of the nobles of Chu was indeed fully trained. That's why the Qin State mobilized all its troops to attack Chu twice. The first time failed, and then the second attack was launched. It relied on the body-refining army to push the Chu State flatly. In this way, the Qi State was frightened and let the Chu State be defeated. Qi surrendered without a fight, but in fact Qin did not have a full-strength army at that time."
"I have always been talking about the Qin State, not the Qin Dynasty. The Qin State has a fully trained army, which does not mean that the Qin Dynasty also has it. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the elites of the Qin people have been scattered in the north and south, and During the eleven years of Zulong's reign, the elites of the Qin State have all aged, and only some of the newcomers have been trained, not the entire army."
"The land of Guanzhong was prosperous at that time. It was indeed the granary of the world. It also owned the land of Shuzhong. Only with the food of Shuzhong was it possible to form an army of body refining. Only after the Zhengguo Canal was built in the land of Guanzhong of the Qin State was there a nationwide body refining army. Yes, after conquering the Six Kingdoms, the Qin State became the Qin Dynasty, and there was no financial resources for body training throughout the country."
Zhao Yuanzuo watched everyone take a sip of tea and then continued: "Zhang Han and Wang Li of the Qin State are indeed famous generals in the world. Even the seventy-two generals who entered the Martial Temple are no problem. After all, they can lead ordinary people with them." The great army they formed overwhelmed the world until they were defeated by Xiang Yu."
Zhao Yuanzuo shook his head and said: "Sima Qian's historical records say that Yu's bravery is unparalleled throughout the ages, but I don't know that the Jiangdong disciples under Xiang Yu are a large army of physical training."
"That is the army that the Xiang family has accumulated over more than ten years."
"That was the only physical training army between Qin and Han."
"It must have been during the reign of Emperor Wu in the former Han Dynasty that the body-refining armies of the Yulin Guards and the Caiguan Group were established. With the accumulation of Emperors Wen and Jing, the second country with a nationwide body-refining country emerged. After Emperor Wu's death, When the Han Dynasty ran out of financial resources, the whole country's physical training disappeared. Later, it became impossible for the entire army to train, but the Danyang soldiers were still left, a strong physical training army that penetrated the two Han and three kingdoms."
"During the Three Kingdoms period, several body-training armies were established. The famous ones are the Shu Han's White Guards, School Swordsmen, Wudang Feijun, Soochow's Jiefan Army, Wei's Tiger Guards and Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Yuan Shao's The Euphorbia Soldiers and the Xiandenshishi, Lu Bu's trapped camp, Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yicon, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry headquarters were all famous body-refining armies at that time."
"After that, there was no body-refining army in the two Jin Dynasties, so Wu Huan Hua came. However, those aristocratic families still had private body-refining armies. Until the Sui Dynasty unified the world, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty did not dare to form a body-refining army. , and his son Yang Guang did form a Xiaoguo Army of one hundred thousand people, and then the world turned against him."
"In the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanjia Army, Mo Daoshou, and Qianniu Guards were the last physical training armies."
