Two hundred years later, Taiping Dao has developed into a behemoth, with Jizhou as the center and a giant-level force that continues to spread to the surrounding areas.
If it weren't for the lack of talent, I'm afraid Taiping Road would have developed even more rapidly than these twelve states.
When something happens in Taiping Dao, he is like an invincible general, unrivaled, running rampant and unstoppable.
Several top aristocratic families headed by Jizhou united with aristocratic families from several surrounding states to form a coalition that mobilized an army worth tens of millions.
But it only blocked it for three years before it was destroyed by the Taiping Road. Then Jizhou and several surrounding states could not stop it because of the decline of the previous aristocratic families.
It became the chassis of Taiping Road.
The Taiping Dao army is powerful, with numerous talents and generals, and its development momentum is the most terrifying in Kyushu.
If the world's aristocratic families did not tolerate the Taiping Dao, I am afraid that the development of the Taiping Dao would be even more rapid. After all, most of the local areas are controlled by the nobles. If the aristocratic families are willing to join the Taiping Dao, then the Taiping Dao will be able to absorb various places faster.
.
It's a pity that those aristocratic families don't agree with the concept of Taiping Dao at all.
After all, Taiping Dao is not good for those aristocratic families. The special rights of aristocratic families no longer exist in Taiping Dao.
Moreover, within Taipingdao, there are no obstacles to the spread of knowledge, and anyone can learn.
This is very scary, not to mention the cultivation, just a lot of knowledge, for the aristocratic family, it is digging their foundation.
The method of practicing Taoism is very important, but other aspects of knowledge are also very important.
In Taiping Dao, all that knowledge can be learned, at most at a certain price, and this price, in the eyes of those aristocratic families, is simply not worth mentioning.
Especially with the recent promotion of universal education in Taiping Dao, those mud-legged people can actually continue their education. How can this make disciples from high-ranking aristocratic families endure it? Aren't they just like mud-legged people?
Under all circumstances, the aristocratic family was naturally unwilling.
Therefore, the world is frantically pouring dirty water on Taiping Dao, and the families that are not competing for world hegemony have joined other princes in an attempt to severely suppress Taiping Dao and destroy it.
During this process, the strength of Prince Yuan's Palace and Liu Han's court in the north, as well as several major princes in the south, also increased dramatically.
Taiping Road is mainly based on Jizhou, with more than ten states around the Taihang Mountains as its base, and everything else surrounding it is surrounded by enemies.
The largest one in the north is Prince Yuan's Mansion. Although Jizhou and Youzhou are not connected, there is a state in between. It has always been a temporary truce between the two.
Fifty years ago, there was a war between the two sides. At that time, Prince Yuan's Mansion defeated Youzhou Mu and suddenly took over several states in the north, becoming the number one prince in the north.
At that time, Prince Yuan's palace was in high spirits, and the Taiping Dao at that time had defeated the Jizhou family and was busy sweeping the surrounding states and counties.
Prince Yuan's army went south and invaded Jizhou, hoping to annex Taipingdao in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, the former ran into a wall. The former's steel cavalry hit the copper and iron walls of Taiping Road hard, causing a bloody head.
Although Taiping Dao did not stand up to fight with other princes in the past hundred years, it does not mean that Taiping Dao's army is not strong.
In the past, all parts of Kyushu were fighting for hegemony. Taiping Dao was consolidating its own strength, but at the same time, it did not forget to send small-scale armies to protect the people everywhere. At that time, it also fought with the armies of many princes.
The combat experience of the Taipingdao army is not bad at all.
Later, during the battle with the Jizhou Family Allied Forces, in those three years, the Taiping Dao army grew even faster.
Therefore, they did not suffer any loss when facing the elite frontier troops of Prince Yuan's Palace. They even used powerful firearms and artillery to severely damage the 200,000 elite cavalry of Prince Yuan's Palace.
The iron wall formed by the artillery troops of Taiping Road seriously injured the cavalry of Prince Yuan's palace. They lost almost 100,000 cavalry at once. The remaining 100,000 cavalry did not dare to move easily.
After three years of confrontation on both sides of the border, they withdrew because of Dong Zhuo's army.
That time was a serious blow to Prince Yuan's Mansion, so in the following decades, the former did not dare to easily step into Taiping Dao's sphere of influence.
Nowadays, various aristocratic families have begun to frantically invest in the various princes, hoping to use their power to suppress Taiping Dao and destroy it.
But it is a pity that Taiping Dao has already achieved success and now occupies many large states in the Central Plains. Because of Taiping Dao's policies, it quickly took control of various places.
Especially in the previous sweeps of various places, the power of the big families was wiped out. Only the small families were left in the local area, and they were unable to oppose Taiping Dao, and they did not dare to oppose them.
The administrative personnel dispatched by Taiping Dao soon took control of every county, and even the towns below the county had grassroots personnel dispatched by Taiping Dao.
In terms of local control, Taipingdao is many times more powerful than the original Liu Han.
Although this may cost Taiping Dao more manpower, after so many years of lurking, especially basic education, Taiping Dao has a very large number of grassroots personnel.
Moreover, some of them were transferred from the military. After all, many of the Taiping Dao troops could not stay in the military for their entire lives.
Some have stayed for more than ten, twenty or thirty years, but their strength cannot reach the extraordinary level, and they will slowly retire.
And these retired soldiers are actually treasures.
In the army, they not only learn various combat skills, but the army also teaches these soldiers how to read and write.
Although reading is the simplest knowledge, it is also a rare opportunity for ordinary people.
There is no problem for these ordinary soldiers who are retired and assigned to local areas to manage villages with dozens or hundreds of households.
Moreover, these army soldiers' recognition of Taiping Dao can be said to be extremely strong.
He is the most loyal believer in Taiping Dao and stands firmly on Taiping Dao’s side.
Therefore, as long as Taipingdao occupies a place, within a few years, it will quickly absorb it and firmly control the power of the place.
Those nobles couldn't resist at all. As for the tough ones, Taiping Dao was even easier. After all, the power of Taiping Dao was far beyond what they could deal with.
Even they can no longer control the local people.
Taiping Dao has its own communication channels. If the local people are illiterate, it doesn't matter that there will be specialized people to spread various major events about Taiping Dao and the world.
In fact, many people at the bottom don't care about this at all.
What they care about is always whether they can have enough food and drink at home, and Taiping Road can definitely provide this. ()
