Chapter 1242 Form

Taipingdao promotes universal education, which other aristocratic families are not willing to do at all.

After all, they are competing for their rights and interests, and of course they don't want to do so. Therefore, Taipingdao is invincible when standing with the people.

Taipingdao is not moving now because they want to consolidate their foundation.

Kyushu is too big, and the administrative personnel needed in the local area are far more than in previous lives. The Taiping Road needs to be more stable, so that the threat of the aristocratic families can be completely eliminated.

This road is not that easy to walk.

After all, the aristocratic families in this era are really too powerful.

Taiping Dao is completely fighting against the aristocratic families in the world, and none of those princes are representatives of the aristocratic families.

Even though Dong Zhuo started his career as a border army general, without the help of aristocratic families, he would not have been able to start the rebellion so quickly.

There are not many aristocratic families in the Northwest, and most of them are squeezed out by the Central Plains families. They are unwilling to be trapped in the Northwest.

Therefore, they united with the ambitious Dong Zhuo in the hope of entering the Central Plains. They sincerely supported Dong Zhuo as king. After all, in their eyes, Dong Zhuo had no chance of sitting on that supreme throne.

His potential is really too low.

My ability is not too important in the eyes of aristocratic families. After all, if all the aristocratic families in the world support me, I believe even a fool can achieve the throne.

They support Dong Zhuo simply because they hope that Dong Zhuo will enter the Central Plains and that aristocratic families like them can also extend their hands into the Central Plains to enhance the power of their own families.

As for what happened to Dong Zhuo in the end, they didn't care at all. The two sides were just using each other.

However, the emergence of Taiping Dao has given all aristocratic families in various places a common goal, which is Taiping Dao.

No matter which side wins in the future and becomes the final winner, they don't want it to be Taiping Road.

If other princes win and support some other families, they may lose some power and rights, but they will not lose everything. As long as they are not fools, the families will choose to bet separately.

In this way, even if one party fails, the other party will succeed, enough to keep the family, and maybe even better.

But once Taipingdao wins, the rights enjoyed by wealthy families like them will be greatly reduced. In the end, their family will have almost no rights at all. In the past, the upward channels were completely controlled by them.

On the other hand, Taiping Road has obviously replaced their rights and interests. This share of rights and interests can ensure that their family can live a long life.

Without this method, their family will only slowly weaken and eventually become a poor family.

Therefore, Taipingdao is their biggest enemy and cannot be let go no matter what.

Taiping Road is now surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Under the instigation of Dazu from the aristocratic family, everyone around Taiping Road, whether it was Prince Yuan's Mansion, the imperial court, or Xuzhou Mu, were all hostile to it.

So when Su Fan came to Jiuzhou.

A new round of war is about to begin.

First of all, on the court side, General Zhendong's Mansion, which had been in a defensive posture before, began to lead an army to attack the border city of Taiping Road. Although it was only a small fight, the momentum was already building.

Not only the imperial court, but also in the north, Prince Yuan's Mansion also sent troops again. In the battle decades ago, Taiping Road severely damaged Prince Yuan's elite cavalry, and his original arrogant momentum was suddenly suppressed.

After all, the 200,000 cavalrymen were severely damaged in one fell swoop, losing nearly half of them. This elite cavalry army was almost finished.

Less than half of the 100,000 cavalry returned. Fortunately, Prince Yuan's palace handled the situation in time and did not allow the cavalry army to collapse. Otherwise, it might not be that easy to restore this army.

And it took decades for this army to come back.

There is no shortage of cavalry and war horses in Prince Yuan's palace, but cavalry soldiers are not that easy and require constant training and running-in. The cavalry either mounts war horses or becomes cavalry.

Especially the veterans in the cavalry, who have experienced fighting again and again.

In that battle, tens of thousands of cavalry were killed in the battle alone. It is conceivable how great the losses were. Even though Prince Yuan's family had a great cause, it was still somewhat unbearable to almost defeat 200,000 elite cavalry in one go. .

If we were to switch to another opponent, the 200,000 elite cavalry of Prince Yuan's Palace, and the other princes would probably have to send out at least one million troops. Of course, if we just use the city for defense, we don't need that many.

It's just that the cavalry of the Northern Border Army can be equal to ten without any problem.

So that battle really took Prince Yuan's Mansion a long time to recover.

Fortunately, Prince Yuan's family has a great cause. After several decades, things have slowed down again. This time, an army of millions was dispatched at once.

Cooperate with other princes to attack Taiping Road together.

Obviously, it was agreed in advance that several major princes would attack the surrounding areas of Taiping Road together.

For a time, the border around Taiping Road was filled with rumbling sounds.

Weijun and Yecheng in Jizhou.

As the temporary political center of Taiping Dao, in the upper city east of Yecheng City, the Central Mansion is the official residence of the chief executive of Taiping Dao.

The Great Hall of the official residence can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but at this moment, there are not that many people in the Great Hall. There are dozens of people sitting here and there, both civil and military.

Sitting around a huge oval table.

Taking the main seat was Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Dao, still dressed in Taoist robes.

Below and to the left is a young man, tall and slender, with a handsome face, always with a faint smile on his lips, dressed like a scholar.

Anyone who thinks he is a scholar is really short-sighted.

This person is now the head of the internal affairs officials who control the twelve states of Taiping Dao and a population of more than 10 billion, the Prime Minister.

It can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.

Not only that, not only does he have great power in domestic affairs, but he is still able to speak out even in the military, and sometimes even leads the troops himself.

In today's Taiping Dao regime, the military and political affairs are not completely separated, and the functions of the two sides are still somewhat mixed. After all, in Taiping Dao, there are many talents who are both civil and military. They can write pens to bring order to the world, and they can mount horses to determine the world.

Sometimes, these talents, who were in charge of the government, were captured by both the military and political parties. After all, the prefect of Liu Han's court was the top military and political leader.

The Confucians of this era are not some incompetent scholars who have no power to restrain themselves. Their studies and practices are very mixed, and it is okay to call them a mixed family.

Many people, when they majored in Confucianism, dabbled in Legalist and military strategists, especially military strategists. People who were smart and far-sighted in the past could see that troubled times would come.

Therefore, the first-hand art of war learned will be very helpful in the future. (End of chapter)
