Chapter 627: The aristocratic families have become the worms carved into the bones of this country!
Great Han.
At this time, most of the Great Han's territory had already fallen into the flames of war.
The Taiping Army led by the three Zhang brothers, with the help of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect, had swallowed nearly half of the Great Han's territory.
And they had tried their best to satisfy the needs of the common people after the chaos, which made the people very cooperative with the work of Zhang Jiao's Taiping Army.
However, after Zhang Jiao occupied a certain territory, he would exterminate the original aristocratic families of that territory and either confiscate all the family property left behind by the families as his future supplies.
Or distribute it to the common people who had been harmed in the war, allowing them to quickly return to a normal life after the war.
The reason why Zhang Jiao treated the major aristocratic families this way was precisely because, after many years of observation, he discovered that apart from the mistakes of the rulers, the major aristocratic families within the Great Han were the biggest problem that had led the Great Han to its current situation!
The aristocratic families have become the worms carved into the bones of this country!
Moreover, the reason the people's lives were worse than death was also because the aristocratic families controlled a vast amount of wealth and resources; even if the people worked hard, they would still be exploited.
That is why Zhang Jiao now spared no effort to punish the aristocratic families in every place he passed.
He wanted to ensure that in the future, when the Taiping Army ruled this territory, there would no longer be worms like the aristocratic families!
Although Zhang Jiao's approach could win the hearts of the people and make them identify with them, at the same time, Zhang Jiao's destruction of the aristocratic families caused the aristocratic families of the entire Great Han to unite as one to resist Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao.
Especially after discovering that every time Zhang Jiao passed through a place, both large and small aristocratic families were slaughtered, the major aristocratic families were stimulated and spared no effort to send troops and grain to the territories of the Great Han that were being attacked by Zhang Jiao's Taiping Army.
Previously, when Emperor Ling of Han forced the major aristocratic families to send troops and grain for the war, the major aristocratic families were relatively sluggish.
Because they felt that no matter who replaced the ruler, as long as it did not damage the power of their families, the families could still be passed down for a hundred generations and become the actual rulers of this territory.
Even if Zhang Jiao of the Taiping Army eventually overthrew the Great Han, as long as they preserved their family strength, they could still negotiate terms with Zhang Jiao, so they did not wholeheartedly help the Great Han.
But when they discovered Zhang Jiao's current approach and learned of Zhang Jiao's hatred for the aristocratic families.
The people of the major aristocratic families finally woke up from their dreams.
With the major aristocratic families huddling together to resist Zhang Jiao's Taiping Army, it really did not take long for the chaotic situation to gradually stabilize. ===== CHAPTER 628 =====
