In ancient times, the status of the emperor was the pinnacle of the entire society, which was extremely desirable. Gaining the throne was equivalent to getting the entire country, so competing for the throne was commonplace at that time. Even during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the emperor who had just ascended the throne could be assassinated by others to seize power. Society is in turmoil, and retaining the throne must be supported by a strong army, otherwise it is almost an impossible task. Emperor Song Ming, the seventh emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is a typical example.
Like many rulers, the throne of Emperor Song Ming became the target of public criticism. Faced with this situation, he was helpless and finally chose to commit suicide. However, just as he was about to commit suicide, a mysterious man broke in and handed him a map. After Emperor Song Ming opened the map, he was overjoyed. It turns out that this is not an ordinary map, but a map full of secrets that reveals the existence of a ghost army. This team was created by Su Jun a hundred years ago, and unlike other armies, their ** is made by special technology, invulnerable, and highly poisonous. What's more, they have something called the "Soul Snatcher Whistle", which can make a terrifying sound of ghosts crying wolves when they blow it. However, Su Jun did not have time to use this army, but passed on the secrets of this army to Emperor Song Ming. In fact, the key is that whoever can master this team will be able to control the whole world.
So, Emperor Song Ming did not hesitate to find out the weapons that had been hidden for many years and recruited many strong soldiers for training. In addition to the daily training, Emperor Song Ming also asked these soldiers to wear the costumes of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, pretend to be Su Jun's subordinates, and carry the banner of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to fight at night. When the opposing army saw it, it was almost crushed with fright. How could there be a team from the Eastern Jin Dynasty showing up?So, they thought that it must be Su Jun's army that came to help Emperor Song Ming. Not long after the battle began, many enemy troops fled. When the main force of the enemy army was almost wiped out, Emperor Song Ming made this ghost army disappear completely, so that everyone still believed in the existence of the ghost army. It is precisely because of this that Emperor Song Ming stabilized his throne.
However, although Emperor Song Ming sat firmly on the throne, he was not a good monarch. His brutality rivaled that of the Shang king, so people did not think highly of him. However, the legendary story of himself and the ghost army has been passed down as a good story.
