Chapter 42: Downfall
It can even be said that the black and white roads of Wuao and even the southwestern provinces have been subdued by Tao Xiaowu, and the government has completely become deaf and mute.
Although the Jingren court inherited the Liuguan system of the Great Qi, whether it was the Great Qi or the Jingren, except for those Liuguan, the other officials were all from local origin and were monopolized by the local clans for generations.
If those local clans either directly took refuge in Tao Xiaowu, they would have shut up and not dared to speak up.
Under such circumstances, the local officials can be said to be hiding it to the death.
Don't say that at this time, Tao Xiaowu's army was still training in the mountains.
Even if it really rebelled and made a big noise, I am afraid that the government still has no news at all.
It's not like when the kingdom of heaven raised an army, it was directly denounced by hostile forces, so that it hurriedly raised an army.
Of course, the government didn't take it too seriously when it received the report at first, but just treated it as an ordinary local contradiction.
Tao Xiaowu has subdued all forces here, and the iron bucket that has been operated is a piece, of course, this kind of thing will not happen.
At this time, Tao Xiaowu should have easily gathered an army of 100,000.
However, due to transportation difficulties, various material supplies, and other restrictions such as talents, Tao Xiaowu only organized more than 10,000 troops for the time being.
Tao Xiaowu has enough financial support, so there is no need to rush into the army.
His plan is not moving, and every movement is like thunder.
In a very short period of time, it quickly swept and occupied the southwestern provinces, and then quickly marched into the southeast, occupying the entire southern wealth.
At that time, they may rely on the strong financial resources of the south to confront the Jingren and drag down the Jingren's finances.
Or directly after occupying the southeast, wave the army north......
At that time, it all looked at the development of the situation and the response of the Jingren court.
However, in any case, as long as you occupy the south as fast as possible, then victory will be certain.
Just look at the immediate victory, or delay a few more years.
Although the other world claims to have swept the world since ancient times, it has unified the south with the north, but in fact, the strength of the north and the south has long been reversed.
In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he had already swept the north from the south.
Even the Cannon Party ruled the world with the financial resources of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
This is because after the Tang and Song dynasties, the world's financial resources have already shifted to the south.
And war is actually fought in the first place, logistics, and financial resources!
It was the Southern Song Dynasty that was able to fight with the Mongols for decades with that corner of the land.
And in the early Qing Dynasty, the north swept to the south, which was really too outrageous for the Southern Ming Dynasty......
Under normal circumstances, in such an era, the concentration of forces in the South and the victory over the North are no longer a problem.
If it is said that the south is rich, the soldiers are not good, and the lack of cavalry and the like ignore the conditions......
The quality of the soldiers in the southeast may be poor, but in this harsh place in the southwest, it is very ruthless.
The entire kingdom of heaven is the tens of thousands of southwestern veterans who first raised troops, and those mountain miners are the most powerful.
As for the cavalry......
Times have changed.
At this time, firearms were prevalent, and the world was no longer the era of cavalry dominating the world!
The only thing to worry about is that it is too quick and easy to win the world.
The war has not been able to completely reshuffle the power of the world, let a large number of people die, and redistribute wealth.
In this way, even if a new dynasty is established, it will be burdened with a heavy congenital drag, and it will be difficult to maintain long-term stability.
Throughout history, such dynasties did not last long, whether it was Jin or Sui.
But again, times have changed, and the problem is not unsolvable.
Problems that could not be solved in the agricultural era, commerce and industry can find ways to solve them......
Of course, it doesn't have much to do with him Tao Xiaowu!
As long as the Jingren court is overthrown and the jade jue is returned, Tao Xiaowu's goal has been achieved.
How is this world developing, and what does it have to do with him?
......
"Do you see that person? That's the ...... Mr. Hu Deqian."
Several people's eyes looked over from the restaurant, and they saw a middle-aged officer in his forties, dressed a little shabby, slowly walking downstairs with two personal soldiers.
"This person can be regarded as having some ability, when the soldiers and horses of the imperial court conquered Donggan, this person was also a fierce general.
But you all know the end, although the battle of Donggan was nominally won by the imperial court.
But in fact, it's just a mess, and naturally the people below haven't received any rewards.
In addition, this Hood was proud of his achievements and offended his boss, but he was belittled.
After so many years, it's just a few thousand totals. ”
Zhang Xishui analyzed lightly, and the light of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
This person is only in his early thirties, and he is wearing a shirt that is just a showman, but at this time, when analyzed, the head is the way.
It's really incomprehensible that this person is obviously just a showman, and he doesn't pay attention to his career, but is so familiar with the officers of the Green Battalion.
Could it be that this is the ambition recorded in the book?
The few people around him couldn't help but think.
This Zhang Xishui is also ordinary in the imperial examination article, but at this time, once he is ready to do big things, he immediately shows his edge.
"Brother Zhang thinks this person can be used by us?"
Someone next to me asked.
Zhang Xishui said confidently: "That's nature. Look at this man......
Between the faces and figures, there is an air of despair.
Obviously, after so many years, it has been unsatisfactory and has been severely suppressed.
This person's morale has been lost, and if he continues to fight in the army, I am afraid that he will never be able to get out of the way.
However, when you look at his straight waist and steady steps, it is obvious that after so many years, even so, he has not let go of martial arts practice and worked hard.
It shows that although the heart has been lost, it has not completely degenerated.
I have inquired that the battalion of soldiers and horses under his command is also the best trained.
This is a talent, and it is suitable for my use!"
Speaking of this, this Zhang Xishui sighed slightly: "On such a peaceful day, I don't know how many heroes have been buried!"
If you put it in troubled times, this is definitely a famous general!
If Tao Xiaowu is here, I'm afraid I will praise this Zhang Xishui for his clever vision.
That Hood really showed his skills in the future, and at the age of seventy, he annihilated hundreds of enemies in the foreign invasion war thirty years later, and died in battle.
Of course, this Zhang Xishui is unknown, drowning in the waves of history.
Without him, during the years of peace, this kind of person who is not good at taking the imperial examination will not be able to stand out.
However, since Tao Xiaowu has come to this space-time copy, he will naturally change the historical trend in this space-time copy.
Some people who should not have been able to get ahead will stand out in this historical time and space.
While everyone was talking, someone was already laughing and leading the Qianzong Hood upstairs.
