Liang Jingxuan hesitated.

The King of Liang patted his shoulder and said, “King Zhou of Shang was the last human sovereign since ancient times. At that time, the power of the Shang Dynasty was weak, and the nobles and old forces were domineering and enslaved the commoners. Faced with this situation, King Zhou of Shang carried out drastic changes. He gave many benefits to the country and the people. ”

“First, he encouraged merchants and farmers, and developed agriculture for the people.”

“Second, he weakened the power of the nobles.”

“Third, he abolished slavery.”

Which of these three items was tyrannical?!

“In the middle period of King Zhou of Shang’s rule, the strength of the country had already stabilized. At this time, King Zhou of Shang began to expand again. At that time, the territory of the Shang Dynasty expanded to the areas of Shandong, Anhui, and Jiangsu. It could be said to be a great contribution.”

“However, as he went deeper and deeper into the reform of the Shang

Dynasty, he touched the interests of the old clans at that time, causing the Shang Dynasty to be in danger. On the outside, King Zhou was eyeing him covetously, wanting to use his tyrannical and debauched name to attack him.”

“The intertwined forces of the old clans wanted to restrain King Zhou of Shang. With the help of the inside and out, they formed a huge wave of anti-Zhou forces. In the end, King Zhou of Shang burned himself on Deer Terrace Pavilion and bore an eternal infamy.”

At that time, the old clans had the final say in the world. Under the pressure of the old clans, the voices of the commoners became insignificant under the rule of the old clans.

Liang Jingxuan immediately did not know what to say.

Everyone in the world said that the high taxes paid by the commoners for the

Deer Terrace Pavilion were ironclad evidence of King Zhou of Shangs tyranny.

However, he had always liked to read history and read through books. He had found some clues from some ancient books. According to the records, the Deer Terrace Pavilion was actually a residence, a warehouse, a storehouse, and a granary. It was also a place to make weapons, sacrificial vessels, carriages, and farm equipment.

During the late Warring States Period, there were similar buildings.

It was obvious that this human sovereign valued military and agricultural work. How could such a human sovereign be a lewd and tyrannical person?

This distortion was indeed a little powerful.

Liang Jingxuan was not a fool and understood what his father meant. If the father and son could take over the Great Zhou, the winner would be king in the future, and the loser would be a bandit. The history books would be written by the winners.

Who knew whether the Great Zhou Dynasty would not be the next Shang and Qin Dynasties?!

When the Northern Barbarians invaded, between the Imperial Court and the King of Liang, one of them would become the Son of Heaven, while the other would become a human sovereign. No one knew if they would engage in a smokeless game.

The Founding Emperor unified China and started what became known as the Violent Qin Dynasty, but he laid the foundation for a thousand years of Han rule.

King Zhou of Shang had weakened the power of the old race, and his debauched name had been passed down from generation to generation.

However, he had laid the foundation for the 800 years of prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty.

Since ancient times, the winner was king, and the loser was a bandit.

After the first battle, the soldiers in the army held their breaths and wanted to fight back.

Yin Huaixi often discussed matters with the generals. He understood the advantages and disadvantages of the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation on the battlefield. He optimized the formation and adjusted his tactics, hoping to use the power of the formation to the limit.

The various armies often gathered to train the cooperation and use of the formation.

The first snowfall of winter fell.

The whistling cold wind was like the roar of a wild beast.

Since ancient times, crops were sown in spring and developed in summer. Those who started a war during this period were deemed to have acted perversely and cut off the vitality of living beings. The heavens would be angry and the people would be resentful.

Meanwhile, crops were harvested in autumn and stored in winter. It was desolate and somber. Furthermore, the world was clear. It was the time for the righteous army to carry out the heavenly punishment. Therefore, as long as it was related to killing intent, most of it would be done in autumn and winter.

It was the same in war.

Yu Youyao looked up at the sky. In the dark sky, snowflakes were falling more and more heavily. It seemed that the first snow of winter would last for a long time.

When the snow stopped, Yin Huaixi would take the initiative to send out his troops.

Before the winter snow began to melt, they would counterattack and buy time for the North to recuperate in spring, in case the Di people caused trouble in spring and delayed the livelihood plan for the people.

However!

Yu Youyao suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. “I’ve seen the military doctors in the military doctor’s office. They’re experienced in bleeding control, but they don’t seem to be proficient in internal treatment. Most of the injured soldiers rely on their strong physiques to recover on their own, other than using some external injuries medicine to stop the bleeding and inflammation.’

External treatment, internal treatment, and recuperation were all necessary. They could help accelerate the recovery of the soldiers’ bodies.

Madam Ming sounded a little helpless. “The North lacks medicinal herbs and can’t provide better treatment for the soldiers. It’s better this year. In the past…”

Yu Youyao was silent for a while before saying, “It’s no wonder. When 1 was helping treat the injured and taking care of them in the army, I realized that most soldiers had varying degrees of fatigue and hidden injuries on their bodies. I think many soldiers would have to retire from the army before the age of 40 because of their injuries and illnesses. They would also be plagued by illness and pain for the rest of their lives. It’s extremely desolate.”

The atmosphere became a little heavy.

Madam Ming looked a little sad. “Consort Zhou Li has also mentioned this in the past and planned to nurture a group of physicians who are good at internal therapy to help the soldiers nourish their bodies. However, first, it takes more than a day to nurture military doctors who are good at treating internal illnesses. Second, the North lacks resources and medicinal herbs. Third, the medical conditions in the North are too simple. It’s not easy to nurture a doctor with brilliant medical skills…

Yu Youyao did not feel good.

If she wanted to improve this situation, it was not possible to resolve it by recruiting some doctors who were good at treating internal illnesses. Instead, she needed to improve the environment of the entire Liaodong so that everyone could have food, clothes, and treatment.

After Uncle Sun returned to the North, he started a pharmaceutical school and nurtured more physicians.

Madam Mings voice was low. “The body of the Di people is strong, and they’re tall and strong. They’re born with brute force. Our Great Zhou soldiers have a natural difference in physique and strength from them. Only our tenacity and endurance are much better than that of the Di people. However, our tenacity and endurance require high-intensity training. In order to defeat the Di people, soldiers often have to put in several times the effort.”

Yu Youyao’s throat tightened. “High-intensity training will cause a certain amount of fatigue to the body. It needs to be supplemented with medicine to nourish their bodies. Otherwise…

The training volume was doubled, and the intensity of the training increased. However, most of the time, the soldiers’ food was only great millet paste mixed with thick steamed buns, corn stalks, and some sweet potatoes.

Madam Ming smiled bitterly. “There are no such conditions in the army. From the first day the soldiers entered the army, they’ve already exhausted their bodies and drawn on their future health.’

Yu Youyao took a deep breath and said, “In that case, we’ll put in more effort on the medicinal cuisine. Simple ingredients and some common medicinal herbs can often have the effect of recuperating the body. Coupled with incense medicine to help nourish the body, although the effect will be slower, it can more or less be effective.’

Madam Mings eyes lit up. “Old Madam Guan makes medicinal cuisine according to the medicinal cuisine recipe you gave every day. I’ve been eating it for seven to eight days, and something has happened to me. During this period of time, not only have I slept better, but my illness that makes my hands and feet cold, and causes my body to have difficulty warming up has also improved a little. If I can promote the medicinal cuisine to the army, not only will it improve the soldiers’ food, but it can also take care of their recuperation. That would be great..”
