Chapter 1239
The universal education promoted by the Taiping Dao, in this piece, other aristocratic families simply do not want.
After all, this is competing with them for rights and interests, so naturally they don't want to, so the Taiping Dao stands with the masses, which is invincible.
Now the Taiping Dao does not move, also because they want to consolidate their foundation.
The Jiuzhou are too big, and the administrative personnel required locally are far beyond the previous life; the Taiping Dao needs to go more steadily, so that it can completely eliminate the threat of the great aristocratic families under the threat of the great aristocratic families.
This road is not so easy to walk.
After all, the aristocratic families of this era are really too powerful.
The Taiping Dao is completely fighting against the aristocratic families of the world; which of those warlords is not a representative of the great aristocratic families?
Don't look at Dong Zhuo rising from the border military families, but if there were no help from the great aristocratic families, he could not have risen so quickly.
In the northwest, there are not many great aristocratic families, and most of them are squeezed out by the Central Plains aristocratic families; they are not willing to be trapped in the northwest forever.
So they united with the ambitious Dong Zhuo, hoping to break into the Central Plains; they were sincerely supporting Dong Zhuo as king; after all, in their eyes, Dong Zhuo had no possibility of sitting on that supreme throne.
His potential is really too low.
The ability of the person himself is not too important in the eyes of the great aristocratic families; after all, if the aristocratic families of the whole world support him, even if he is a fool, I believe he can also sit on that throne.
They support Dong Zhuo, very simply, that is, they hope Dong Zhuo will break into the Central Plains, and they, these aristocratic families, can also reach into the Central Plains and improve their family's strength.
As for what happens to Dong Zhuo in the end, they don't care at all; the two sides are just using each other.
However, the emergence of the Taiping Dao made the great aristocratic families in various places have a common goal, and that is the Taiping Dao.
No matter who wins in the future and becomes the final winner, they don't want it to be the Taiping Dao.
Other warlords win, supporting a part of the aristocratic families, might lose some strength and rights and interests, but will not lose everything; as long as they are not fools, aristocratic families will choose to bet separately.
In this way, even if one side fails, the other side will succeed, enough to protect the family, and maybe even be better.
But once the Taiping Dao wins, then the rights and interests they, these great aristocratic families, enjoy will be greatly reduced, and even in the end, their aristocratic families will have almost no rights and interests; the previous upward channels were completely controlled by them.
And the Taiping Dao side obviously replaced this part of their rights and interests; this part of the rights and interests is what guarantees that their aristocratic families can live long.
Losing this means, their aristocratic families will only slowly weaken and finally become poor families.
So the Taiping Dao is their greatest enemy, and no matter what, they cannot let it go.
The Taiping Dao is now surrounded on all four sides, all of which are enemies.
Under the instigation of the great aristocratic families, around the Taiping Dao, whether it is the Yuan Prince's Mansion or the imperial court, or those Xuzhou Inspectors, they are all hostile to it.
So when Su Fan came to the Jiuzhou.
A new round of great wars is about to begin.
First is the imperial court side; the Town-East General Mansion, which had previously been in a defensive posture, began to lead the army to attack the border cities of the Taiping Dao; although it was just a small fight, the momentum had already emerged.
Not only the imperial court, in the north, the Yuan Prince's Mansion also sent troops again; decades ago, that great battle, the Taiping Dao severely damaged the Yuan Prince's Mansion's elite iron cavalry, making its originally arrogant momentum suddenly pressed down.
After all, 200,000 iron cavalry were severely damaged at once, losing nearly half, and this elite iron cavalry army was almost finished.
Of the 100,000 iron cavalry, less than half returned; it was also fortunate that the Yuan Prince's Mansion handled it in time and did not let the cavalry army collapse; otherwise, wanting to recover this army would probably not be so easy.
And this army went back, and it took fully decades to barely raise it back.
Cavalry, the Yuan Prince's Mansion does not lack war horses, but the soldiers of the cavalry are not so easy; they need constant training and grinding; cavalry is not just riding on a war horse, it is cavalry.
Especially the old soldiers in the cavalry, they have experienced battle after battle.
That great battle, just the cavalry killed in battle was tens of thousands; one can imagine how great the loss was; even if the Yuan Prince's Mansion has a big family, it almost collapsed 200,000 elite iron cavalry at once, which is also a bit unbearable.
If it were another opponent, the Yuan Prince's Mansion's 200,000 elite iron cavalry, other warlords, probably at least need to bring out a million troops; of course, if it is just city defense, it doesn't need so many.
It's just that the iron cavalry of the northern border army is fine even if one is against ten.
So that great battle did make the Yuan Prince's Mansion need a long time to recover.
But fortunately, the Yuan Prince's Mansion has a big family; decades later, it recovered again; this time it sent out a million troops at once.
Cooperating with other warlords, attacking the Taiping Dao together.
Obviously, several major warlords attacking the Taiping Dao from all sides was agreed upon in advance.
For a time, the borders around the Taiping Dao were full of wind and cranes.
Jizhou, Wei Commandery, Ye Cheng.
As the temporary capital and political center of the Taiping Dao, Ye Cheng, East City District, Central Mansion, is the official residence of the Taiping Dao's manager.
The official residence assembly hall can accommodate tens of thousands of people, but at this moment, there are not so many people in the assembly hall; scattered, there are dozens of people, both civil and military.
Sitting around a huge oval long table.
In the main seat is the Taiping Dao leader Zhang Jiao, still dressed in Daoist robes.
Below him, on the left, is a young man, with a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and a faint smile always hanging on the corner of his mouth, dressed as a scholar.
Anyone who treats him as a scholar is really blind.
This person is now the head of the administrative officials who control the twelve provinces of the Taiping Dao and manage more than ten billion people, the Prime Minister of Government Affairs.
It can be said that he is one person below ten thousand.
Not only that, he not only manages the internal affairs, but even in the army, he can still speak, and sometimes he even leads the army himself.
Today's Taiping Dao regime, military and government are not completely separated, and the functions of both sides are somewhat mixed; after all, in the Taiping Dao, many talents are both civil and military, civil can write to settle the world, and martial can mount a horse to set the world.
Sometimes, these talents, who govern one side, are grabbing both military and government; after all, the prefect of the Liu Han Imperial Court is the military and government leader.
The Confucianism of this era is not an incompetent scholar who has no power to truss a chicken; they learn and cultivate very mixed, and it is no problem to say that they are miscellaneous.
Many people, while majoring in Confucianism, have dabbled in Legalism and Military School, especially Military School; previously, smart and far-sighted people saw that the troubled world was coming.
So learning a hand of military strategy is very helpful for the future.
