Chapter 1349: Taoism

Zhao Cheng's use of troops at this moment undoubtedly exceeded many people's expectations, because the time was too short, so short that the foundation was not fully established.

Indeed, many of the famous rebel kings in history actually started their armies faster than Zhao Cheng.

Those rebel kings often settled in one place for more than ten or twenty years, and then swept the world in just a few years.

But this kind of thing, when put on Zhao Cheng, does not conform to Zhao Cheng's style of steady and steady.

As for the fundamental reason, it is the attitude in dealing with the powerful families. The ancient rebel kings all pulled a group to fight a group to gain popularity. When the world is settled, even if those who served under them want to defect, it is too late.

And Zhao Cheng's route is to completely disperse the powerful families.

This matter will naturally cause a counterattack from local forces. In just one year, even though Zhao Cheng has completed the dispersal and migration, in fact, there are still undercurrents surging in places where the light cannot reach.

Of course, even if they are limited by the times, the knowledgeable people in this world can still see that although Zhao Cheng's move faces great resistance, it is completed, and it can greatly liberate the population to invest in the newly sprouted industrial construction.

Because of this matter, Da Cang is also doing it.

But Da Cang has a very serious problem, that is, in this world, many people and labor forces are private slaves of local tyrants.

Zhao Cheng directly solved this problem by breaking up the local tyrants.

If there is two or three years, the people's hearts will completely change, and the people of Qingzhou will no longer be afraid of those "masters" in the past, and those big men and those slaves who used to show kindness and power will also be completely suppressed. The people are not afraid of them, but regard them as rats crossing the street. At that time, the foundation will be solid.

As for now, in just one year, many people are probably still ignorant and still live according to the previous habits and concepts. In this case, if the Yingtian Army is frustrated in the war in the front, I am afraid that the backyard will immediately catch fire.

These people naturally didn't know that Zhao Cheng had already made some moves in the Southern Wilds before he used his troops.

After a year of settling in Qingzhou, the Southern Wilds had two more harvests. More importantly, when he took Qingzhou, he confiscated countless properties. Among them, gold and silver were fine, and it would take time to cash them out, but the grain was piled up into a mountain.

Although Da Cang is now the end of the dynasty, in fact, there is no shortage of food in the world, but the food is not in the hands of the poor.

Part of the harvested grain, plus the grain of Qingzhou, was used as military rations by him, and the rest, except for the necessary storage, was sent to various places in Qingzhou. At the same time, civil engineering and simple post stations were built in various places.

As for the Southern Wilds, a mobilization began silently.

The court called on the aspiring young people in the new country to go out and form teams to study in Qingzhou, bring the advanced ideas of the Southern Wilderness to Qingzhou, and educate the people of Qingzhou. At the same time, they should take up arms, be vigilant against the powerful and evil gentry hiding in the dark, catch the bullies who dare to show up, let them know the consequences of oppressing the people, and let the people know that these former "masters" are not terrible, but vulnerable, and their arrogance should be completely suppressed...

As for the way, there is a post station every half a day, and there are all kinds of food.

In the case of the Southern Wilderness, as long as they are over 12 years old, they have more or less military training, at least touched and fired guns.

There are more than 10 million people in the Southern Wilderness. At this time, excluding the elderly, children, and the necessary personnel to maintain the minimum production, there are 2 million people pouring into Qingzhou.

Two million people holding guns, being able to shoot, and daring to shoot, with sincere faith, rushed into Qingzhou, just like a ball of fire rushing into the darkness.

Whatever power surged in the darkness, it was completely vulnerable in front of this ball of fire.

Even when Zhao Cheng's troops conquered most of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, the number of people in this team that set out from the Southern Wasteland had grown to three million.

Three million people only eat and drink, and do not produce. It is undoubtedly a huge consumption of food and grass, but the world is rich. Zhao Cheng relied on conquering cities and robbing houses, plus the fields of Qingzhou and Southern Wasteland, plus large-scale industrial fertilizers, to support it.

Therefore, after Qingzhou went through such a round of baptism, such a team directly poured into Yongzhou and Liangzhou.

Although these people did not go to the battlefield, they belonged to the type that could go to the battlefield at any time.

This means that after this change, Zhao Cheng's troops directly expanded from one million to four million!

Even if 3 million of them were not used to capture cities, they were used to eliminate the unstable factors in their own territory.

Their role was no less than that of regular troops in capturing cities, and in some places, their significance was even greater.

Such power and momentum undoubtedly frightened the whole world.

…

In March of the sixth year of Yingtian, Liu Guangzheng sent two generals, He Jie and Qi Shang, to Yongzhou and Liangzhou to command the war. He Jie died in the battle, and Qi Shang committed suicide after his defeat.

Since then, the war in Yongzhou and Liangzhou ended, and the new country occupied one-third of the twelve states in the world.

But what is even more frightening is that the traveling team has now grown to nearly seven million.

Seven million young people with weapons and faith spread out in Qingzhou, Yongzhou, and Liangzhou, wandering from village to village, helping the people of these three continents to break the ideological shackles of tens of thousands of years.

Unlike the Huangtian Army that once swept the world, the soldiers of the Huangtian Army were actually coerced and ignorant. They only knew that they would have food if they followed them, but they didn't know why they were fighting.

But these seven million people know!

Because even the first two million were assessed, even if they were memorized by rote, they still remembered it. As long as they remembered it, they would accept it subtly over time.

The huge team composed their purpose into a ballad, singing loudly while walking. Later, many people who missed the old days were trembling with fear just by hearing this voice.

As for the poor people who have been crushed to pieces by the mountains for a long time, they feel safe when they hear this voice.

What is the general trend? This is the general trend!

When such a general trend is formed, many knowledgeable people in the world will no longer have doubts about the future.

Such momentum has never been seen in the records of the ancient saints who have been infinitely mythical in later generations.

In this world, for countless years, various new ideas and routes have emerged one after another, but I am afraid that the famous saints in history only had hundreds of disciples and thousands of disciples when they were alive.

Although the saints have a great reputation, the people only know that this person is powerful, but they don’t know what his doctrine means.

And now, under Zhao Cheng’s command, those who follow his way and practice his way are counted in tens of millions!

How terrible is this matter? !
