Chapter 309: The Way of Peace that Starts a Prairie Fire (Part 2)
Of course, one Yun Kuang is not enough to satisfy Zhang Jiao!
During those exchanges, Zhang Jiao also knew that the Yun family was a clan member of Xiang Yu, the former general of Chu Overlord!
Because of this, after the man left and disappeared, their family was also frantically wanted by the Han Dynasty. Since then, they have lived a life of wandering and have been in exile for nearly four hundred years.
During these hundreds of years of exile, the Yun family also suffered heavy losses and were almost on the road to annihilation. However, a few decades ago, a genius of the Yun family accidentally met a member of the Yin Yang family while traveling around the world.
Elder!
From then on, the Yun family began to take the opportunity to attach themselves to the Yin Yang family, and they had the opportunity to recuperate!
In these decades, the Yun family continued to grow and develop, and finally lived in seclusion at the old site of Xue State!
After Zhang Jiao learned about it, he personally went to visit the old site of Xue State. Today, the Yun family has more than a thousand people. Since they are the descendants of the overlord Xiang Ji's old generals, they naturally have the inheritance of military strategists and part of the overlords.
After Zhang Jiao arrived, he didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the point. Finally, with his sincerity and the Yun family's hundreds of years of hatred for the Han Dynasty, he persuaded Yun Ji, the old patriarch of the Yun family!
Not only is Yun Ji powerful in martial arts, but his military skills are also among the best in the world. It can be said that Yun Kuang’s military skills and strategies were passed down from him!
As the head of the clan, Yun Ji chose to join the Taiping Dao family, and many other guests from the Yun family also joined him. Among them, the one that caught Zhang Jiao's eye the most was Yun Ji's old friend Qian Zhong. p>
In Zhang Jiao's opinion, he is a more powerful strategist than Huang Chao, and it was precisely because of Qian Zhong's joining that Zhang Jiao got to know another strategist at the top of the Silver Peak!
That is Su Zhe, who fictionalized the historical prototype of Zhang Liang, the sage seeker. In the play, he is a generation of military wizards. He was originally a nobleman of Zeng State, and later walked under Yun Kuang's tent, because he realized that Yun Kuang was not the king.
He turned to the sea and the sky, and finally retired to the mountains and forests.
In this era, Su Zhe did not have a noble background because he was from a poor and poor family. But even so, he was able to attend Yingchuan College because of his talent, and his reputation was not small.
On the recommendation of Qian Zhong, Zhang Jiao went to visit him personally, or the literati of the past dynasties liked this style. Zhang Jiao didn't find anyone the first time he went there!
The second time I went there, I was late and Su Zhe left early!
It wasn't until the third time that Zhang Jiao went there that he saw Su Zhe. He immediately saluted him and asked him to help him. Su Zhe was grateful for Zhang Jiao's kindness in knowing him and being hungry for talents, so he decisively agreed.
Zhang Jiao’s request!
Because of this, Zhang Jiao successfully triggered the achievement of "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage". As the first person to complete this achievement, the system's rewards for them are naturally not weak!
Especially for Su Zhe, it was a complete rebirth, and in order to live up to Zhang Jiao's expectations, he directly offered him the Yellow Turban development strategy.
It was Su Zhe's plan that made Zhang Jiao start to pay attention to Taihang Mountain!
For this reason, he personally took action and continuously united with the bandits in the Taihang Mountains, attracting tens of thousands of believers to Taiping Road. He even accidentally discovered Tian Hu and Wu Wenhua, his number one general, during a joint meeting. p>
Zhang Jiao naturally coveted such a fierce general, so he started his own deception method. With Zhang Jiao's enhanced ability, his deception ability doubled, and he conquered Tian Hu's tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop!
However, Zhang Jiao did not take away Tian Hu's rights. Instead, he asked him to spread the Tao of Taiping in Bingzhou. Even if he could not recruit a group of troops, he still wanted to let the Bingzhou army know that his territory was not so peaceful! p>
Because only in this way, when the rebellion breaks out, the powerful Bingzhou Army will not join in the conquest of Taiping Dao, and the Taiping Dao army will not encounter such perverted enemies!
Under Su Zhe's arrangement, Taiping Dao's infiltration power has been strengthened to an epic level. Zhang Jiao has also increased his investment in intelligence work, because only in this way will he not be like a blind man when fighting against the Han army in the future.
Just the same beating.
In just a few months, Taiping Dao has changed drastically, almost as much as Zhang Jiao's efforts for several years. This makes Zhang Jiao extremely lucky that there are several great advisers around him, and their training plans are enough to compare with Zhang Jiao's.
It has taken me several years to develop.
In the past few months, the scale of the Yellow Turbans' talents has expanded again, and they were sent by Zhang Jiao to infiltrate the Han states. This also made the already shaky Han Dynasty even more shaky.
Under the leadership of Zhang Jiao, the general leader, and with the advice of Su Zhe, Qian Zhong, Huang Chao and other think tanks, all the Taiping Daoqu commanders were completely united. Under the continuous checking and filling of gaps, Taiping became
Taoism has developed into the largest Taoist sect in the Han Dynasty!
Up to now, Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao has been spread by believers in thirteen states, and each state is led by Qu Shuai. It can be said that under the banner of Zhang Jiao, the Daliang Immortal Master, Taiping Dao has an excellent reputation among the people.
It has been able to affect the normal operation and rule of the Han Dynasty.
Not only on the White Road, but also the underworld forces of the Han Dynasty were absorbed by the Taiping Road. Yue Xihong, the master of the Flying Eagle Castle in Yangzhou, and Tieshan, the master of the Iron Fist Sect in Youzhou...
These forces are quite prestigious in the arena, and are now absorbed by Taiping Dao. It can be said that in the past few years, Zhang Jiao has used the power of the Pacific Ocean to become the leader of the martial arts alliance in the arena, just waiting for his order.
If you do this, you will get responses from all sides and raise the flag of righteousness.
However, Zhang Jiao did not take action because the time was not yet ripe!
He had to find a favorable opportunity, and Gu Junen immediately calculated one for him, which was the Year of Jiazi in the 60th year, which represented the arrival of a new era.
This indicates that God will send Zhang Jiao to conquer the Han Dynasty on behalf of Heaven, overthrow the Han Dynasty, a country that has been corrupted to its foundation, and establish a new country so that the people can live a prosperous life!
Now, Zhang Jiao has gathered everyone for the next plan.
…………
"Everyone, everyone is here!" Zhang Jiao scanned the people below and finally said!
When Su Zhe heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed his hands to Zhang Jiao and replied respectfully: "I would like to inform Immortal Master Daliang that all the thirty-six Fang Qushuai from my teaching are here."
In the development of these years, Taiping Dao believers are spread across the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, with an average of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, in each state!
Since there were too many believers, it was difficult to manage them, so Zhang Jiao set up three canal marshals in each state, totaling 36 canal marshals in total, to manage affairs in various places.
Thirty-six Fang Qushuai are all disciples of Zhang Jiao, or people who have made outstanding contributions to Taiping Road, namely: Hong Xiuquan, Bo Cai, Shi Dakai, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Peng Tuo, Zhang Niujiao, Yang Xiuqing, and Zhang Bai
These Qushuai have tens of thousands of men under their command, the small ones only have 30,000 to 50,000, and the large ones have hundreds of thousands. Like Hong Xiuquan in Jiaozhou and Zhang Shicheng in Yangzhou, each of them has hundreds of thousands of people under his command.
There are even more generals!
As for Huang Chao, Yun Ji, Qian Zhong, and Su Zhe, because they are all Zhang Jiao's think tanks and have played the most critical role in the development of Taiping Road, their status is even more respected, and their status in the Taiping Sect is still in Qu Shuai's.
above, second only to Zhang Jiao.
"I called you here today to discuss the next plan for Taiping Dao!" Zhang Jiao said, then looked at Ma Yuanyi beside him and said: "Yuanyi, how are the contacts with the believers near Luoyang going?
”
According to historical development, Zhang Jiao ordered Ma Yuanyi to make preparations for the uprising in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, in January of the next year, and joined forces with some eunuchs and imperial troops to respond internally!
If the uprising plan succeeds, there will be a coup within the court, and there will be a mutiny in Luoyang City. At the same time, Luoyang City will be surrounded. The court will not have any preparations, and it will be difficult to mobilize the officers and soldiers.
Imagine this situation! With three layers of attack, it would be difficult for Luoyang not to fall.
If the plan succeeds, Luoyang can be captured at an extremely fast speed and the emperor can be deposed.
However, in order to make the people all over the world obey him, he also needed to create public opinion, so Zhang Jiao spread the slogan "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should be established, the age of Jiazi, the world will be prosperous", and asked the believers to state and county officials
, especially the word "Jia Zi" written on the gate of Luoyang!
I hint to everyone that the troops that rose up on Jiazi Day in the Year of Jiazi are the troops that can establish a brand new political power.
In this era, the same is true, and because of Su Zhe's plan, the success rate of this plan will be greatly increased!
"Master, we have already made contact. Xu Feng, the Shichangshi, has been appointed as the internal correspondent, and many commanders of the imperial army have also been roped in. They are just waiting for the day when the incident comes." Ma Yuanyi said!
Although Zhang Jiao is a disciple of the Yin-Yang family, in this era, the Yin-Yang family is still attached to Taoism and has taken root.
Therefore, the vast majority of Qu Shuai in Taiping Dao thought that he was a Taoist, and that he had such a title because of the Taoist support behind him!
After all, Taoism’s name for teachers is different from other schools of thought!
Confucianism and other schools of thought generally call their teachers teachers, or masters, but Taoism is different. They all respect their teachers and call them master directly, so Ma Yuanyi calls him that!
At this point, we can actually understand that the reason why no one can stop Taiping Dao is that apart from Zhang Jiao buying corrupt officials in the court, there is no Taiping Dao. It is spread in the name of Taoism!
In the early Han Dynasty, Huang Lao's learning was advocated, which was to use Taoism as the basis for governing the country. However, because the Yin and Yang School was the state religion of Qin, it was naturally suppressed by Liu Bang!
In order to preserve the seeds of the Yin-Yang Family, the head of the Yin-Yang Family of that era chose to lead the Yin-Yang Family to attach itself to Taoism. However, Taoism emphasized purity and inaction, and did not take any measures against the Yin-Yang Family!
As a result, the Yin and Yang family has grown stronger and stronger with the help of the banner of Taoism. Now, it is picking up the tiger skin of Taoism and preparing to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising.
I have to say that Zhang Jiao is still very courageous.
"Yes, if this plan can be completed, then there is no need to fight a protracted war with the Han Dynasty. We can capture the thief first and capture the king first, and decide the outcome in a direct battle." Zhang Jiao said domineeringly!
"But..." At this moment, Zhang Jiao's voice changed, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present!
"However, our army's next uprising must be focused. Military advisor, do you have any good ideas?" Zhang Jiao looked at Su Zhe, who was wearing a feather fan and silk scarf, and asked!
"Daliang Immortal Master, after the uprising, our army must do two things. The first point is to strictly enforce military discipline and do no harm to the people; the second point is to develop strategies against aristocratic families!" Su Zhe said!<
/p>
"Sir, please speak frankly!" Zhang Jiao motioned for Su Zhe to continue speaking.
"First, our army must strictly observe military discipline after the uprising, because we are not just rogues who are just fighting for that one-third of an acre of land, but rebels who are fighting to overthrow the Han Dynasty and bring a happy life to the people!"
"Then, you must show your demeanor as a rebel. Only in this way will you be loved by the people. Even if you don't join us, you will not join the Han army and become our enemy!"
It has to be said that a powerful counselor is absolutely irreplaceable for the development of a force. Su Zhe's words directly touch the dark depths of the peasant rebel armies of past generations.
The peasant uprising armies in the past dynasties basically relied on brute force because they did not have resourceful people, so most of them implemented the bandit strategy!
"Flow" is a way of action. It is not aimed at occupying and establishing stable rule, but is more like a group of hungry locusts, eating wherever they go. The sense of purpose is not strong, so it is more destructive!
Moreover, once the mobility of the rogue strategy is lost, the combat effectiveness will also be lost.
The peasant war at the end of the Qin Dynasty was not a rogue bandit, because the peasant army had a clear goal, which was to invade Guanzhong and occupy Xianyang. Therefore, wherever it went, the rule of the old royal families of the Six Kingdoms was restored.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not a rogue bandit, because it had its capital in Nanjing for 11 years and had a well-established regime.
The first successful example of "rogue bandits" overthrowing the central dynasty was the rebellion of Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty. From then on, rogue bandits became the standard routine of peasant uprisings.
But the result is that the strength of the rebel army can indeed be strengthened in a short period of time, just like Huang Chao in the original history, who can directly carry out the rogue strategy to the end!
Being chased and intercepted by the army, he dived into the Wuyi Mountains between Jiangxi and Fujian. According to the geographical concepts at the time, it was equivalent to entering the Amazon rainforest, leaving the civilized world and having nowhere to go. p>
Because of this, Huang Chao grabbed a lot of property along the way and recruited troops to grow stronger. When his power became stronger, he went north again, from the Pearl River to the Xiang River, and then conquered Jingzhou, another large-scale battle!
After that, he swept across Anhui, captured the eastern capital Luoyang, then Tongguan, and finally captured Chang'an in 880 AD.
However, once Chang'an was captured, Huang Chao's shortcomings were exposed. He could rely on robbery to maintain army supplies during roaming operations, but once he occupied the territory, he had to rely on tax collection to obtain some wealth!
