With the threat of foreign enemies, those aristocratic families, not to mention completely working together, can at least gather strength. In this way, if the Liu Han court gets the support of these aristocratic families, it will be different.
There are millions of forbidden troops surrounding the city of God itself. Although these forbidden troops have been at peace for a long time, they are definitely inferior to the elite officers and soldiers in the border areas.
But after being tempered by blood and fire, it can naturally improve its combat power.
If Taiping Dao ranks first in the world with its twelve armies and three million strong troops, then the Liu Han court ranks second.
The land of Sili in Luoyang itself was originally the most core and fertile land in Kyushu, with a very large population.
With several million more imperial troops, and only with the support of aristocratic families from all over the country, the power of Liu Han's court was also rising sharply.
In addition, the Liu Han royal family also has several powerful people from the Earthly Immortal Realm who control the country, and they cooperate with the top powerful people from other large clans.
If it weren't for Taoist Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao, who is comparable to the number one person in Kyushu today, in fact, the imperial court would be the strongest.
However, there have been a lot of fights between the two forces recently. The two major forces have deployed millions of troops to confront each other on the border.
In several wars, the imperial court was more at a disadvantage.
After all, Taipingdao's artillery is too powerful.
Although now, princes from all over the country have begun to imitate, but there is still a gap compared to Taiping Dao.
The Taiping Road guns and cannons themselves are difficult to conceal, but the technology is even more difficult.
However, it is difficult to conceal the technology of guns and artillery. Other princes can imitate it. Without industrialization and only relying on handcrafting, how can it compare with Taiping Dao.
There are indeed monks in the princes everywhere, and the cannons made by monks are indeed not bad. However, if the cannon shells are refined by monks, it will take a lot of people.
Most of the extraordinary people from various places are warriors, not Taoists or Mohists. When warriors build artillery, the efficiency is not much better than that of ordinary people.
At most, he is just a little more energetic.
Therefore, although princes from various places also began to build guns and cannons, compared with Taiping Road, the gap was still very large.
Guns and artillery are not a great threat to the extraordinary troops, but to ordinary armies, it is different.
Most of Taiping Dao's gunnery troops are ordinary people, but that doesn't mean that Taiping Dao doesn't have extraordinary troops.
Nowadays, the calamity is being measured, and the world is active. For the army, promotion is an opportunity. Ordinary mortals have a greater chance of becoming extraordinary. In the past, there were enough resources. To enter the realm of divine power, it may take five years and ten years of hard training.
Year.
Now it might just be three years.
His divine power and inner strength have already reached the extraordinary level. He has some resistance against the extremely powerful. After all, wearing steel armor greatly increases his defense.
The steel armor worn by ordinary people is definitely different from the steel armor worn by warriors in the divine power realm and inner strength realm.
Because the two have different weights, an ordinary strong adult man can carry thirty kilograms of steel armor, while a powerful man in the realm of divine power can carry hundreds of kilograms of steel armor. The defenses of the two are different.
Even if the steel armor on the front, even if the machine guns of today's Taiping Dao could break through, it would not have much effect on the physical bodies of those warriors.
Not to mention the guns and cannons of other princes.
Of course, the threat from artillery is still great, but without Taipingdao's thousands or tens of thousands of artillery, firing in unison, there is not much threat to the army of extraordinary beings.
Because of Taiping Dao's sufficient nutrition, the army's sergeants have become low-level warriors, and there are as many as yaks.
Among ten people, almost one or two can become warriors.
This alone is superior to other princes.
Whether it is gun technology or the construction of an extraordinary army, Taiping Dao is ahead. Therefore, even the imperial court suffered many losses in the battle with Taiping Dao, so it could only gradually defend passively.
The princes of the world, the Northland and the Central Plains were supervised by the Central Plains, occupying 70% of the power. Although the Southland has a large territory, it has not been developed for a long time. The Northland of the Central Plains has been developed by various countries for countless years in the pre-Qin period.
The south has always been vast and sparsely populated. Even Da Qin sent people to develop it, but not many after all.
Because there are many mountains and forests in the south, there are many miasmas and spirits and monsters in the forests.
As for the later Red Emperor, it developed in the south for a period of time, with the help of the South Vietnamese foreigners, but this was just a drop in the bucket.
At least for the vast south, it is still vast and sparsely populated.
Although the land of Liangjiang is as wealthy as Jingzhou and Yangzhou, compared to the north, its potential is still insufficient. In terms of population, the area of the north and the south is about the same, but the population is almost split between 30 and 70.
There are many princes in the south, and there are several in each state.
But among the really big princes, except for the three Liu Han royal families, the rest don't have much power.
Of course, the largest force in the south was also the force headed by King Chen, one of the kings with different surnames who followed the Taizu of the Liu family to conquer the world.
He has always been in the south. Unlike King Yuan in the north, King Chen in the south actually has far less fiefdom and strength than the former.
However, King Chen's only advantage is that the Chen family is not small in the world. The Chen family in Xuzhou ranks among the top families in the world, and there are several Chen families in the south.
No matter what, there is a certain relationship, and King Chen's family and the Xuzhou Chen family had an ancestor back then.
Chen Wangfu is a branch of the Chen family.
When he started the uprising, he naturally had a group of aristocratic families following him, and with the secret support of the Xuzhou Chen family, the Chen Palace has continued to grow in recent years, and it is faintly located in four states. Compared with the Chen family in Jingzhou
That Uncle Liu Huang is even better.
Uncle Liu Huang from Jingzhou in the south was naturally the straw sandals emperor.
Of course, Liu Bei in this era has grown up rapidly since the beginning of the Taoyuan Three's sworn friendship.
And his own strength is not bad, even if he is not as good as the two brothers, he has reached the realm of refining gods very early.
Coupled with his bloodline of the Liu family, the imperial court quickly promoted him. From the original position of Nanyang Prefect, he rose up among the princes. He was also sent to Jingzhou to take charge of Jingzhou. Moreover, because of his charisma,
A group of descendants from aristocratic families embrace each other, and he now owns Jingzhou, Hengzhou and half of Yangzhou.
The strength is undoubtedly second in the south.
The two brothers under his command are unparalleled warriors in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Even in fierce battles with Prince Chen's Mansion, they have never been at a disadvantage.
Moreover, he holds great righteousness, and his strength in the south is also constantly rising. Coupled with the aristocratic families slowly turning to him, his power will only become stronger and stronger.
In this regard, he has an advantage over Prince Chen's Mansion.
No matter what, Prince Chen's Mansion is, after all, a traitor and has no righteous cause.
Even though the Liu Han court had long lost the support of the people, the support of the people was only among the people at the lowest level.
In fact, some aristocratic families still recognize Liu Han. ()
