Chapter 1244

So in terms of foundation, the Taiping Dao is stronger than other warlords and the imperial court; the only gap that exists is in the number of middle and upper-level martial generals and top combat power.

In this regard, the Taiping Dao has existed for too short a time, and the heritage is naturally much weaker.

However, as the Taiping Dao becomes more and more powerful, it attracts many poor martial generals to join, and it will gradually make up for these defects.

And the Taiping Dao has two top-level combat powers, Zhang Jiao and Lv Bu.

It can be said that Zhang Jiao is unique; even one-on-one, Lv Bu is not Zhang Jiao's opponent.

These years of the Taiping Dao's majestic development, Zhang Jiao's cultivation has reached the peak of Heavenly Immortal; it can be said that unless it is those old monsters hidden in the Jiuzhou, then Zhang Jiao is the number one in the world.

And those old monsters hidden away simply cannot take action.

Just like the Liu Han Imperial Court and the northern alien tribes, they naturally cannot have no Heavenly Immortals, and even True Immortals exist.

Especially the grassland alien tribes, there are also Golden Immortals.

However, they are all from the pre-Qin period; they simply dare not take action; if they are not people of this era and dare to participate, they will be punished by the Nine Cauldrons.

The Nine Cauldrons of the Jiuzhou are artifacts that protect the Jiuzhou, and they are also the heavenly punishment for those immortals who left the Jiuzhou.

These people who left the Jiuzhou, after wandering, their cultivation increased, and they wanted to come back to set off a bloody storm, then they would be suppressed by the Jiuzhou in the first time.

So those old monsters don't move, and Zhang Jiao, this top-level Heavenly Immortal, is the number one master in the world, suppressing countless people.

Before, those aristocratic families didn't know how many assassins they sent to assassinate Zhang Jiao, but they all went and never returned.

Even Earth Immortal realm assassins went and never returned; up to this point, no one dared to assassinate him again.

He showed the combat power of a Heavenly Immortal and once fought alone against three national-guarding powerhouses of the imperial court.

Since then, Zhang Jiao has also been honored as the number one person in the world.

And Lv Bu, this fierce general, after entering the Central Plains, fought the aristocratic family alliance and fought the Yuan Prince's Mansion; he fought north and south and was also honored as the number one peerless fierce general in the world.

There are many fierce generals in the world, and there are very few who can confront him.

Besides that, there are only two people in the Taiping Dao who have reached the combat power of the Earth Immortal realm, ranking in the middle among the warlords of the world.

However, no one in the world dares to underestimate it, because Zhang Jiao and Lv Bu can confront the power of ten Earth Immortals.

Even if the Taiping Dao is not at an advantage in Earth Immortals and Refining Spirit realm, relying on the large army, the Taiping Dao is at an advantage in every great battle.

In this regard, the accumulation of the aristocratic families is indeed stronger.

Especially those civil-dao Confucian scholars, who rise more violently in troubled times, but no matter how strong they are, they are just one person; without an elite army, facing the Taiping Dao, the lethality is limited.

The power of the army, besides the soldiers themselves, is the martial arts cultivation of the martial generals.

In this regard, perhaps the Taiping Dao is at a disadvantage, but it will not be too much.

And because the Taiping Dao is more attractive to those martial generals, especially those in the wild, many like the Taiping Dao.

In this era, the status of martial generals is indeed higher, but the aristocratic families mostly cultivate civil arts.

After all, civil-dao cultivation is not as arduous as martial generals.

And the imperial court selects officials, mostly civil officials.

Therefore, in terms of invisible status, civil officials are still higher than martial generals; this is a secular phenomenon.

Therefore, in the aristocratic families, most are civil-dao, and the status of aristocratic families who take the martial path is naturally weaker.

For example, among the top ten top aristocratic families in the world, none are military families.

Of course, no one will underestimate military families.

Nowadays, in troubled times, the status of military families has also risen sharply, but collecting talents in various places is headed by aristocratic families.

Small families need to wait to rise.

And in the Taiping Dao, it is different; if you have the ability, you have the opportunity to be selected, and there is an upward channel.

So for those with poor backgrounds, the attraction of the Taiping Dao is naturally very high.

Martial generals who practice martial arts are not necessarily of poor background, but choosing other warlords is obviously naturally suppressed by those aristocratic disciples.

The temper of martial generals is not very good.

Some martial generals chose other warlords at first, but as a result, they were angry and left; now it is a troubled world, there are many warlords in the world, and it is not that they must have you.

In this way, over time, there will be more and more middle-level martial generals in the Taiping Dao; as for top-level martial generals, they are very rare themselves.

And these people are welcome wherever they go.

So these martial generals in the wild choose based on the strength between warlords, especially comprehensive strength; in this regard, the Taiping Dao also occupies an advantage.

It's just that the Taiping Dao's heritage has always been too low, plus the Taiping Dao's policies are not friendly to the great aristocratic families.

Those top-level powerhouses generally have simple inheritance, and their backgrounds are definitely not low; it is very normal to have doubts about the Taiping Dao.

Back then, the Taiping Dao also specifically discussed this matter internally, but in the end, it did not change.

Even without those top-level powerhouses, relying on the Taiping Dao's steady and steady progress, it is not afraid of any force.

Not to mention that truly far-sighted powerhouses can see the strength of the Taiping Dao.

The Taiping Dao is not really going to wipe out all the aristocratic families; it just removes the special rights of the great aristocratic families.

They never give aristocratic families the opportunity to rise, but they need to compete fairly with others.

Many aristocratic families cannot tolerate this point, but there are also some great clans that can accept it.

Just like the Zhang family in Yanmen, it is also a military family with a thousand years of heritage, and the heritage is not low; they have no opinion on the Taiping Dao's policies.

They are confident that they occupy an advantage in the competition.

After all, their thousand-year heritage and education must be stronger than those at the bottom.

Even if there are talents at the bottom, compared to their superior education over a thousand years, families like the Zhang family are not afraid.

In fact, within the Taiping Dao, there are now also great aristocratic families; for example, the Zhuge family in Langya has many disciples who have joined.

There are also the Cheng family in Cheng Commandery, etc., which are all first-class aristocratic families.

They live quite comfortably within the Taiping Dao, and after accepting the Taiping Dao's scientific knowledge, even more people from the family have become officials.

Because the Taiping Dao needs too many administrative personnel, the disciples cultivated by these aristocratic families, even if they are all mediocre talents, are too superior compared to those bottom-level common people who have learned for a few years.

So after these aristocratic families joined, they found that compared to before, they actually got more benefits.

The Taiping Dao is quite caring for its own people and is also very atmospheric.

Especially the Taiping Dao's inheritance is higher and deeper than the imperial court.

Especially the Daoist inheritance, Liu Han's profound knowledge is not much, but in the Taiping Dao, you can exchange it as long as you have enough contribution.
