It can even be said that Wu'ao and even the black and white Taoists in several southwestern provinces have been subdued by Tao Xiaowu, and the government has become completely deaf and mute.
Although the Jingren court inherited the system of floating officials from Da Qi, regardless of whether it was Da Qi or Jingren, except for those floating officials, all other officials were from the local area and had been monopolized by the local wealthy families for generations.
Those local wealthy people either directly took refuge in Tao Xiaowu, or they had the wisdom to keep their mouths shut and did not dare to say a word.
Under such circumstances, the local officials were very secretive.
Don't forget that at this time, Tao Xiaowu's army was still training in the mountains.
Even if they really rebel and make a big fuss, I'm afraid the government still won't hear anything about it.
It's not like when the Kingdom of Heaven raised its troops, it was directly reported by the hostile forces, causing it to hastily raise its troops.
Of course, when the government received the report at first, they didn't take it seriously, and they just regarded it as an ordinary local guest's conflict.
Tao Xiaowu has conquered various forces here and has been operating with iron barrels, so of course this kind of thing will not happen.
At this time, Tao Xiaowu should have easily gathered an army of 100,000.
However, due to transportation difficulties, various material supplies, talent and other restrictions, Tao Xiaowu only organized an army of more than 10,000 people for the time being.
Tao Xiaowu had enough financial support, so there was no need to rush to raise troops.
His plan is not to move, but to move like thunder.
In a very short period of time, it quickly swept over and occupied the southwestern provinces, and then quickly moved into the southeast, occupying the entire southern wealth land.
At that time, they may rely on the strong financial resources of the south to confront Jingren and bring down Jingren's finances.
Or directly occupy the southeast and then send troops northward...
At that time, it all depends on how the situation develops and how the Jingren court responds.
However, no matter what, as long as we occupy the south as quickly as possible, then victory will be certain.
Just looking at immediate victory will delay it for a few more years.
Although the other world claims to have swept the world since ancient times, with the north uniting the south, in fact the power of the north and the south has already been reversed.
In the era of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the south had already conquered the north.
Even the artillery party relied on the financial resources of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to rule the world.
This is because after the Tang and Song Dynasties, the world's financial resources had already been transferred to the south.
But war is actually about logistics and financial resources!
Even the Southern Song Dynasty was able to fight the Mongols for decades with just that corner of the country.
And in the early Qing Dynasty, the north was swept away from the south. The internal strife in the Southern Ming Dynasty was really outrageous...
Under normal circumstances, in an era like this, it would no longer be a problem for the South to concentrate its power and defeat the North.
If we say that the south is rich but has poor soldiers and lacks cavalry, etc...
The quality of the troops in the southeast may be poor, but the harsh land in the southwest is very powerful.
The entire Kingdom of Heaven is the old foundation of the southwest where tens of thousands of people originally raised troops, and those mountain people and miners are the most powerful.
As for the cavalry...
Times have changed.
Firearms were prevalent at this time, and it was no longer the era when cavalry ruled the world all over the world!
The only thing to worry about is that it is too quick and easy to conquer the world.
The war failed to completely reshuffle the world's forces, kill a large number of people, and redistribute wealth.
Even if a new dynasty is established in this way, it will be burdened with many inherent constraints, making it difficult to maintain long-term stability.
Throughout history, such dynasties do not last long, whether it is Jin or Sui.
But again, times have changed, and the problem is not unsolvable.
Business and industry can find ways to solve problems that cannot be solved in the agricultural era...
Of course, that has nothing to do with Tao Xiaowu!
As long as he overthrows the Jingren court and takes back the jade, Tao Xiaowu's goal will have been achieved.
How is this world developing, and what does it have to do with him?
…
"Did you see that person? That's President Hu Deqian..."
Several people looked over from the restaurant and saw a middle-aged officer in his forties, a little shabby in clothing, slowly walking downstairs with two soldiers.
"This person seems to have some ability. When the imperial army conquered Donggan, this person was also a strong general.
But you all know the outcome. In the Battle of Donggan, the imperial court nominally won.
But in fact, it was just a complete defeat, and naturally the people below did not receive any rewards.
In addition, this Hu De was proud of his merits and offended his superiors, and was reprimanded instead.
After so many years, he is nothing more than a thousand-year-old general manager."
Zhang Xishui analyzed lightly, with a light of wisdom flashing in his eyes.
This man was only in his early thirties, and he was only wearing the clothes of a scholar. However, upon analysis at this time, he was very clear.
It is really hard to understand that this person is obviously just a scholar and does not pay attention to his career, but he is so familiar with the officers of the Green Camp.
Could this be the ambition recorded in the book?
Several people around him couldn't help but think.
This Zhang Xishui was ordinary in his imperial examination articles, but once he was ready to do something big, he immediately showed his talents.
"Brother Zhang, do you think this person can be used by us?"
Someone asked next to me.
Zhang Xishui said confidently: "That's natural. Look at this person...
There was an aura of despair in his face and figure.
Obviously, I have been unhappy for so many years and have been severely suppressed.
This man has lost his morale. If he continues to hang out in the army, he may never get ahead.
However, if you look at his straight back and steady steps, it is obvious that even after so many years, he has not given up on martial arts training and toiling his muscles.
This shows that although the heart energy has been lost, it has not completely fallen.
I have already inquired that the battalion of soldiers and horses under his command is also the best trained.
This is a talent that I can use just right!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xishui sighed slightly: "In these peaceful days, I don't know how many heroes have been buried!
If placed in troubled times, this man would definitely be a famous general! How could he be in such a miserable state?"
If Tao Xiaowu were here, I would probably praise Zhang Xishui for his brilliant vision.
That Hood indeed showed his prowess in the future. At the age of seventy, he annihilated hundreds of enemies during the foreign invasion war thirty years later and died brazenly in battle.
Of course, this Zhang Xishui is unknown, submerged in the waves of history.
Without him, during the peace years, people like this who didn't take the imperial examinations seriously would not be able to get ahead no matter what.
However, since Tao Xiaowu came to this time and space copy, he will naturally change the historical direction of this time and space copy.
Some people who should not have been able to get ahead in the past will stand out in this historical time and space.
While everyone was talking, someone was already laughing and leading Mr. Qian Hu De upstairs.
