Chapter 1239 Princes

With the threat of foreign enemies, those aristocratic families, not to mention completely working together, can at least gather strength. In this way, it would be different if the Liu Han court received the support of these aristocratic families.

There are millions of forbidden troops around 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 Luoyang Sili itself was originally the most core and fertile land in Kyushu, with a very large population.

There are several million more forbidden troops, and only with the support of aristocratic families from all over the country, the power of Liu Han's court is also rising sharply.

In addition, the Liu Han royal family also has several powerful people from the Earthly Immortal Realm in Zhenguo, cooperating with the top powerful people from other large clans.

If it weren't for Taoist Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao, who was 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 various places have begun to imitate it, but there is still a gap compared to Taiping Dao.

Taipingdao's guns and cannons themselves are difficult to conceal, but as for the technology, it's even harder.

However, it is difficult to conceal the technology of guns and artillery, and other princes can imitate it. Without industrialization, it is only made by hand, how can it compare with Taipingdao.

There are indeed monks in the princes everywhere, and the cannons made by the monks are indeed not bad. However, if the cannon shells are refined by the 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 have also begun to build guns and cannons, compared with Taiping Road, the gap is still very large.

Guns and artillery are not a great threat to the extraordinary troops, but to the ordinary army, 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.

Divine power and internal strength have already reached the extraordinary level. Facing the extremely strong, there is still some resistance. After all, wearing steel armor greatly increases defense.

The steel armor worn by ordinary people is definitely different from the steel armor worn by warriors in the divine power realm and the 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 it can be broken through by the machine guns of Taipingdao today, it will not have much effect on the physical bodies of those warriors.

Not to mention the guns and cannons of other princes.

Of course, artillery still poses a great threat, but without Taipingdao's thousands or tens of thousands of artillery, firing in unison, there would not be much of a threat to an 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 was gun technology or the construction of an extraordinary army, Taiping Dao was 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 under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Province, accounting for 70% of the power. Although the southern land was very large, it was not developed for a long time. The northern land of the Central Plains had been developed by various countries for countless years during 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 was developed in the south for a period of time, with the help of the South Vietnamese foreigners, but this was only a drop in the bucket.

At least for the vast south, it is still sparsely populated.

Although the land of Liangjiang is as wealthy as Jingzhou and Yangzhou, its potential is still insufficient compared to the north. In terms of population, the area of ​​the north and the south is about the same, but the population is almost evenly 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 had 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 is among the top families in the world, and there are several Chen families in the south.

No matter what, there is a certain connection, and King Chen's family and the Xuzhou Chen family had an ancestor back then.

Prince Chen's Mansion is a branch of the Chen family.

When he started the uprising, he was naturally followed by a group of aristocratic families, 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. 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 the 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 a rebel after all and has no righteous cause.

Even though the Liu Han court had long lost the support of the people, the support was only from the lowest level of the people.

In fact, some aristocratic families still recognize Liu Han. (End of chapter)
