At this time, Zhang Sheng was still farming.

The twelve villages, expanded to that scale, would be a joke to say that Zhang Sheng knew nothing about what happened in the world at this time.

But he could still tolerate it and was not impatient.

Even in the village, some subordinates who knew a little about his thoughts and were already screaming and rushing down the mountain, no matter how much they persuaded him, Zhang Sheng was still very steady and could not show any anxiety.

Although it is late, it is easy to not even drink a sip of the broth.

However, it is too early to be attacked.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had a national fortune of more than 400 years. Although it had been ruined, it seemed that the wind was leaking everywhere.

But I don’t know where some powerful people will come from in times of crisis to try to turn the tide.

Although he did not directly take the initiative, Zhang Sheng quietly sent some smart and capable people to join the team of all parties to take the initiative.

Don't ask them to sit in a high position, at least they can grasp the trends of all directions.

At this time, in Wudao Mountain, Cao Zhe did not restrict the stay or stay of his disciples.

Those guys who could not stand the loneliness and heard that the outside of the mountain had become lively and could not sit still, let them go down the mountain by themselves.

All powerful warriors are fighting and fighting.

Although Cao Zhe did not take the initiative to encourage his disciples to participate in the melee outside the mountain, he would never stop him.

The 17th year of Qinghong, winter!

The White Lotus Sect took the lead in conquering half of the north, and then surrounded the leader Sheng Qianlun to become the emperor.

If you have carefully read the rankings of the first competition, it is not difficult to notice that Sheng Qianlun is also a contestant and ranked sixth in the first settlement.

In the same year, the emperor dispatched 150,000 troops and appointed Xue Ping as the commander, and went to quell the rebellion.

The White Lotus Sect and Xue Ping's imperial army were confronted across the river and kept pulling, and the battle situation was in a stalemate from the beginning.

Xue Ping is not a mediocre person. He knows that these White Lotus Sect's army are mostly mobs. The longer the battle time is delayed, the looser the opponent's defense will be.

Just wait for the moment when people are restless and launch an attack, you can advance along the way and quell the rebellion.

It’s a pity that Xue Ping only has a tactical vision, but does not have a macro strategic vision.

At this time, what the Ming Dynasty encountered was not just one White Lotus Sect.

On January 17, 18th year of Qinghong, the incense disciples burned seven streets in the south of Jinling City and shouted, "There is no peace in the three realms, just like a fire house, only the big stone Buddha can relieve disasters."

Then Shifo King Sen led 70,000 troops to seize the land of Sichuan and Sichuan. He then continued to recruit troops, carrying 200,000 people down the river, and seized many cities along the way.

Although there were acts of forcing people from all over the country to join the church, they did not massacre them, or indulged their subordinates, robbed and killed them at will.

This move can be said to be a great peace to the people and also shows that Wang Sen is determined to be in the country. Although he did not become an emperor like Sheng Qianlun, he was definitely not just trying to be a prince.

After smelling the incense sect, the entire Ming Dynasty's military strength could become nervous.

The Ming Dynasty had more than 1.5 million permanent military households, but this was just paper data. Xue Ping brought 150,000 elite soldiers to fight against the White Lotus Sect in the north, which was actually considered as garrisoning local troops and taking away most of them.

The so-called military households of 1.5 million are mostly just generals from all sides who are paying empty wages.

If the imperial court has carefully investigated over the years, it will be enough to find that some "veterans" from a hundred or two years ago are still paying their wages.

When the incense sect echoes the attack, the court will inevitably gather troops to intercept and counterattack.

However, if we have to mobilize troops, in addition to distributing the five military camps guarding the capital, the local troops that can be called together have less than 100,000.

In this way, 100,000 plus 150,000, and 50,000 more, the five military camps, Shenji camps, Warlock camps, etc., have a total of less than 400,000.

Even though the 200,000 border troops that my grandmother didn't love and my uncle didn't love, the entire Ming Dynasty could use no more than 600,000 troops at most.

The distance is 1.5 million, which is half the difference.

However, these 600,000 troops cannot be mobilized at will.

The border troops should not be moved lightly, and it takes a lot of time and food to mobilize troops from the border to serve the king. It is too late for the time being.

It will take time for the remnants of local troops to be mobilized.

Moreover, once the local military power is too empty, many small rebel forces will take the opportunity to seize the county towns in various places, then confiscate the food and grass, and force local young and strong people to join the army.

The emperor was furious, but he only ordered Xia Qing to be the commander, first take the banner, recruit soldiers from all directions, collect food and supplies, and then go to gambling to intercept the army of the incense sect.

He did not dare to use the five military camps in the capital, but instead transferred more troops back to the vicinity of the capital and gave them heavy troops to guard them.

The 18th year of Qinghong, summer!

There are demon dragons in troubled times that have caused huge waves, trying to destroy the dam along the river, drain the flood into the south of the Yangtze River, and flood the defenders.

Zuo Zixiong entered the river and killed the dragon, and the five gods hid together, and forced the power of the exterior scene to cut off the river with one knife, killing the demon dragon.

At this time, the Sinxiang Sect had already broken through Hanyang and the two lakes were almost all captured.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng led many villagers to kill them down the mountain.

Just because the incense smelling sect has become bigger, the normative systems within the sect have become increasingly unable to restrain those vicious sects.

The two lakes have been chaotic and the public is filled with grievances.

The situation was very different from when he was in Sichuan and Shu.

It was still the same year, and at about the same time, the rebels from all sides rose up one after another.

Some of them belong to local peasant uprisings, gathering dozens or hundreds of people, and dare to rebel.

Some of them are local clan forces that have finally integrated internal conflicts and began to continue the original plan.

Zhang Sheng led many villagers down the mountain, but at first he did not speak out about rebellion, but instead resisted the oppression and harm to the people of the Winter Shrine.

Through the act of justice, we gradually gained the hearts of the people in the two lakes.

When the Yinxiang Cult Army was about to turn back and counterattack, Xia Qing finally gathered 100,000 troops to block the Yinxiang Cult Army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and fight with it.

At this time, the whole world was like a pot of stew.

The warriors who came down from Wudao Mountain were active in various battlefields.

They also joined different teams due to their own fate, as well as their family and friends.

They each have different positions. Sometimes they meet on the battlefield, and they will hold hands with each other in the early stages. Later, they will fight to the real fire, so they no longer care about the friendship between the brothers and brothers. They often meet in life and death on the battlefield.

However, many hidden means and power in martial arts were continuously developed through the battle of life and death.

Not only that, because of the high universality of new martial arts, the low learning difficulty, and the upper limit is also unfathomable.

Scented Sects, White Lotus Sect and other sects with profound backgrounds and great backgrounds have all begun to study new martial arts through some disciples from the Martial Arts Mountain.

In various ways, after obtaining relevant information, quickly transform the martial arts system that suits them.

This is exactly what Cao Zhe wants.

If you want to grow martial arts, it is far from enough to rely on him alone.

Only by pulling more forces in and studying together can it be further strengthened and pushed to a higher peak.
