From the world of martial arts

After Zhang Jiao's narration, Su Fan had a deeper understanding of Taiping Dao. In just a few years, Su Fan was very happy with the explosive improvement of Taiping Dao.

Su Fan has traveled all over the Liu Han court in the past two years. Even in the center of the Liu Han court and the land of Sili, people there are in dire straits, let alone other places.
There are bandits everywhere, like crucian carp crossing the river, and some even dare to attack the county town openly.

Although some failed, many succeeded, looting a county, then expanded, and then looted various places.

Most of them were wiped out by local officers and soldiers during the looting process.

After all, most bandits have little education and only know the principle of big fists. They spend excessive money and do not use it rationally. Some even have internal problems due to uneven distribution of stolen goods.

The huge bandit suddenly fell apart.

This situation is really normal. After all, those bandits and bandits all have low-level knowledge and have never read a book. They are all reckless. Some of them have become leaders by relying on their own hands that they don't know where they learned from.

Unfortunately, most of them failed in the end, and most of them couldn't persist for a few years.

Of course, some of them persisted, either because they had some foresight or because there was some guidance from a dog-headed military advisor behind them.

The bandits who persisted in this way became stronger and stronger by relying on their copycats. They looted the county and became even more powerful.

Su Fan once encountered a group of bandits in the south. They were quite powerful and built a mountain stronghold with a population of hundreds of thousands.

And that group of bandits also established an army, an army of no less than ten thousand people, some of whom were soldiers.

It was the imperial soldiers who escaped.

This kind of thing is normal. Not all the officers and soldiers in the imperial court are as rich as those under Zhang Hu and Lu Bu.

Especially for the officers and soldiers in the Central Plains, it can be said that only the upper-level officers are very wealthy. The lower-level soldiers have no income except a little monthly salary from the court.

With the little income from the imperial court, it was difficult for him to feed himself, let alone support a large family.

You must know that many soldiers have a family behind them. They are the backbone of the family, so they have no choice but to escape.

There are also some who work part-time in other jobs. This is because the officers and soldiers in the Central Plains are so weak. After all, every officer and soldier does not go to training, but is busy with other jobs. How can they have combat effectiveness.

In the face of tough bandits, many local officers and soldiers are not as good as the private soldiers of those aristocratic families. After all, these aristocratic families have money and food. Most of their private soldiers are to protect their own families, so they naturally need to be well trained and trained.

As for the officers and soldiers, it's different.

Therefore, some ruthless bandits broke into the county town and broke into the county government offices. However, they did not expect that when they went to rob the wealthy people in the county town, they were beaten.

Just a joke.

But Su Fan discovered a lot about this situation.

Su Fan saw with his own eyes that a group of bandits, more than 5000 people, broke into a county town, beheaded the county magistrates and county captains in the government office, and then happily went to loot the wealthy families in the county town. Thousands of people, He was quickly beaten by hundreds of thousands of guards united by the big clans.

However, they dispersed in a hurry.

Su Fan shook his head when he saw this lost and found scene, it was so magical.

The most powerful force in the local area is not the official army but the private soldiers of the wealthy families. In such a situation, what dignity does the imperial court have?

It can be said that the majesty of the imperial court was completely wiped out by these gangsters.

The majesty of the imperial court was chipped away layer by layer, which naturally led to the prevalence of ambitious people in the local area.

There are more and more ambitious people in the local area, and even some bandits are actually secretly supported by these ambitious people. If the imperial court was at its peak, these ambitious people would not even dare to raise private soldiers. During Emperor Wu's time, those who dared to hide soldiers and armor privately would have the three tribes killed.

However, things are different now. The imperial court does not have much power at all, and even many of the imperial court's policies cannot leave Luoyang City.

Most of the local government officials relied on local gentry to function.

The imperial court became weaker and weaker, and the local governments became more and more arrogant.

The imperial court has lost people's hearts, and the people in the north and the south are becoming more and more dissatisfied with the imperial court. Once any natural disaster occurs, as long as someone rises up, a peasant uprising will inevitably break out.

If you can't survive, you can only revolt.

Those bandits and bandits were obviously beheaded, but there were still many people participating. Some were robbed, but some were voluntary.

It's entirely because they can't live anymore. Who would be willing to behead someone if they could live?

Today's Liu Han Dynasty is a powder keg that will explode in the future. The last spark will be lit by whoever ignites it first.

Su Fan also talked about these with Zhang Jiao one by one.

Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao now has a certain influence on the north. In addition to Jizhou, Taiping Dao's disciples have also begun to develop in many states and counties in the north.

The North mainly has strong soldiers and horses, while the South is relatively wealthy.

But in the future, when heroes compete for hegemony, the natural army will be more important, and money and food will also be important. However, there is a saying that goes well: if you gather food in your place, I will gather your army, and your place is my granary.

Taiping Road has already made preparations. Food and other supplies have been stored in the past few years, and there will be more and more.

There will be no shortage of military rations in the future.

In the past few years, the weather has been relatively smooth, and Taipingdao has to increase its food purchases.

In a few years, the weather will change, and those who are really good at it can actually deduce the weather in Kyushu in the future.

Drought will continue and the weather will get colder year by year.

Such abnormal weather will reduce the production of fertile fields in the world. Once that happens, countless people will go to a dead end due to lack of food.

At that time, if the court did not provide relief, no need to worry, someone would definitely come forward.

By then, even if these uprisings are suppressed, the remaining power will probably make it even more difficult for the court.

After all, local uprisings have continued over the years.

Su Fan could sense that Jiuzhou's calamity energy had condensed again. This was the calamity energy of humanity. Compared with the previous calamity energy involving the three realms, it was indeed much less.

But this does not mean that this calamity energy is weak. When it comes to Kyushu, the future war in Kyushu will indeed be a terrible disaster for those people.

There was nothing Su Fan could do about it.

Of course, if he interferes by force, he will take down the mediocre people in the court and replace them with those who are really capable, and then kill the ambitious people in the local area to intimidate the local wealthy families.

Then the world will be clear and bright. (End of chapter)
