The heads of his two sons and six grandchildren, including a baby who was still in swaddling clothes, were ordered to be eliminated by his other son.

After killing two brothers and six nephews, and later confined Zhang Yuan's other sons in the Qinwang Chuan City Academy, "lifelong study of Tianli theory". Zhang Zhuo temporarily eliminated the competitors, then changed his name to Zhang Li, and renamed the Hexi Great Sect to Tianlijiao, calling himself "Tianlizi".

Subsequently, he began to reform the Tenri Sect in a drastic way, changing the names of the teachings and teachers at all levels to "Tenri University Scholar", "Tenri Bachelor", "Tenri Master", "Tenri Scholar" and "Tenri Student".

At the same time, Zhang Li also reformed the administrative system in the jurisdiction of Hexi. The jurisdiction is divided into four levels: "Tianli Road", "Tianli University", "Tianli City" and "Tianli College", corresponding to the administrative divisions such as roads, prefectures (prefectures), counties, and villages (townships and cities).

It also set up five university roads, including Hexi Xuelu, Anxi Xuelu, Xizhou Xuelu, Xifan Xuelu, and Grassland Xuelu, which were responsible for managing the ruling areas or colleges and academies of Tianlijiao in Hexi, Anxi, Xizhou, Tubo, and grassland.

By the way, Tenrikyo was not the only ruling power in Anxi, Xizhou, Tibet, and the steppe regions. The only place that is truly completely under the rule of the Tianli Sect is Hexi Road.

And in Anxi, the territory of the Tianli Sect is very fragmented, mixed with the territory of Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun. However, the Erzhao brothers have now pulled the main force to the Tianzhu Kingdom and established a new ruling center in Lahore.

Compared with the rich northwest of Tianzhu, Anxi, which is full of deserts, is tantamount to chicken ribs. Therefore, they did not want to compete with the Tenri Sect, but gradually retreated.

Therefore, it was not the armies of Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun who really posed a threat to the rule of Tianlijiao in Anxi, but the feudal lords who believed in Tianfangjiao.

Although the Tenrikyo regime practiced freedom of religious belief, it did not prohibit the spread of Buddhism, Taoism, Tianfangism, Shamanism, Confucianism, and the Tenrikyo sect within its territory.

However, contradictions between sects are always unavoidable......

In Xizhou, the Uighurs of Xizhou, who practiced Buddhism and Manichaeism, were being squeezed by two Tenrikyo regimes in the east and the west—the Hexi Tenrikyo regime in the east, and the Tenrikyo regime in the west.

The two Tenrikyo regimes formed an alliance during the era of Zhang Yuan's rule over Hexi, and reached an agreement to divide the western states equally with the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary—south of the Tianshan Mountains, including the rich Yizhou (Hami) and Gaochang, all of which were owned by the Hexi Tenrikyo Sect. The grasslands north of the Tien Shan Mountains (the Jungar steppe) and the Ili River valley were all given to the Broken Leaf regime.

In the grassland area (referring to the southern and northern grasslands), the Hexi Tianli Religious regime established the Wuyuan School and the Yinshan School in the Bei'an Grassland of the Hetao, and also continuously sent Tianli teachers and Tianli Shi to preach and preach to the Mobei and Monan tribes to win over the grassland tribes.

In the Tibetan region, as early as the early days of the establishment of the Hexi regime, Zhang Yuan conquered the grass-headed Tatars and yellow-headed Uighurs in the Qaidam Basin in later times, turned them into followers of Tianli, and used them to expand westward and occupy the territory of Anxi and Xizhou.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan also sent scholars of the Tianli Sect to Qingtang City in an attempt to win over Zhao Baozhong, who believed in Buddhism.

In the past few years, the forces of the Hexi Tianli Sect have developed very rapidly, and they have established a lot of power.

However, the territory is large, and the management will inevitably be sloppy. The territory of the Zhou State ruled by Wu Haogu was only more than 200,000 square kilometers, and the transportation was convenient, the land was rich, and the industry and commerce were developed. A little exaggeration, that is, the whole country is under the nose of the head of Wuhan University.

However, the political power created by Zhang Yuan was spread over more than 2 million square kilometers of mountains, grasslands, deserts, and agricultural land. The land is barren, transportation is inconvenient, and industry and commerce are extremely underdeveloped. And the population is very small, with less than 3 million people on more than 2 million square kilometers of land. On average, one square kilometer is not even two people.

In such a territory with few people, vast land, barren property, and inconvenient transportation, it is really inconceivable to establish the rule of the Liuguan who separates the armed forces like the Central Plains!

The administrative costs alone were enough to bankrupt the Hexi regime ten times.

Therefore, it is very natural that the Hexi regime adopted a ruling method similar to the unity of government and feudal lordship.

Only in this way can Tianlizi of Liangzhou command the Quartet to put more than two million people under the rule of Tianlijiao, which developed from Confucianism.

While claiming to be the son of Tianli and establishing a unified political regime in Anxi, Xizhou, Tubo and the steppe regions, Zhang Li also went a step further on the basis of the "knight manor system" founded by his father Zhang Yuan, and established a tribal feudal system, which was also the main reason why Zhang Li could be supported by the generals of the Hexi Army, including Yu Tongdao and Liu Long.

The biggest difference between the so-called "tribal feudal system" and the "knight manor system" is that the former is the land, and the latter is the population!

By Western standards, this is evil serfdom!

And the establishment of this system is naturally inseparable from the situation that there are few people and more land in the Hexi ruling area.

For the more than 15,000 knight households in Hexi, land is not a scarce resource. There is no one to cultivate and graze, and the elements of the bully landlord have to be eaten.

If the Zhou state is a bit like Prussia, the Junker class, who personally managed the land, was the military basis, and the industrial and commercial metropolis was the economic basis. Then Hexi is like Tsarist Russia, and the serfdom manor is the foundation of the whole country. The Orthodox Church, firmly controlled by the state, was the bond that maintained the unity of the empire. And the Cossack tribal warriors, who converted to Orthodoxy, were the blades of the expansion of the empire......

More than 15,000 tribal estates became the military and economic basis of the Tenrikyo regime, which had to pay tribute in addition to military service to maintain the regime. In order to ensure that these estates were capable of providing troops and wealth for a long time, Zhangli carried out the reform of the tribal system and also provided for primogeniture.

All estates are not allowed to be divided!

The sons who did not have the right to inherit, according to the orders of Zhangli, must enter the Tenri Academy (which is actually a real academy and also has a tribal manor) under the jurisdiction of the Tenri Academy (in fact, a local administrative body) to learn Confucianism and martial arts, become officials or soldiers of the Tenri Sect regime, and use their merits to win their own estates.

Needless to say, the momentum to expand is just as strong!

It's just that there are some problems within this regime...... Zhang Li's bloody methods also violate the Confucian principle of "respecting relatives and relatives", and it is inevitable that they will be criticized.

And in order to consolidate his position and resolve internal doubts, Zhang Li must hold high the banner of Tianli and start a war!

……

Su Shi walked quickly into the newly completed widow's house, which was the residence of his father Su Zhe on the bank of the Luoyang River in Quanzhou.

Unlike another time and space in Yingchuan to live in seclusion and return to old age, Su Zhe in this time and space retired honorably in the position of Quanzhou Mansion. Because of his old age and frailty, Zhao Ji gave a decree to the bank of the Luoyang River. That is, this "old man's fast". Su Zhe also called himself "Luoyang Relic Elder" and lived in seclusion in Quanzhou. It is taken care of by Su Shi, the second son who served as the envoy of Quanzhou City and knew the affairs of Taiwan.

Because he was ambitious and happy in his old age, he lived longer than in history. Historically, Su Zhe died in the winter of the second year of Zhenghe. And now, seeing that it has been the autumn of the fourth year of political peace, the old man is still alive and well.

Although Su Shi now knows Taiwan, he does not work in the government office in Lugang, but in the municipal office in Quanzhou.

And the state of Taiwan under his jurisdiction is also a relatively special existence. It is a state composed of a bunch of counties, and it is not actually a county, but it is a castle stronghold established in a place suitable for building a port on the coast of Taiwan.

Except for Lukang County and Penghu County, they are all the property of Quanzhou maritime merchants. Su applied these "counties" to more than one million yuan from the maritime giants in Quanzhou, and then used this money to buy dozens of galleys of the Zhou navy. The Penghu Inspection Division warship fleet under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Prefecture was established. There were no dozens of warships, only twelve galleys in good condition, and the rest of the warships were resold to Han Chinese maritime merchants along the coast of Fujian - these warships built by the Tianjin shipyard were of exquisite materials and first-class quality, and some of them were also equipped with fierce fire oil tanks, and their combat effectiveness was very strong. For Fujian maritime merchants, it is definitely a hot item!

Oh, why do maritime merchants have such good warships?

Of course, it was to trade west and south of the Strait of Malacca.

The autonomous Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate has expanded greatly in recent years because it can get the support of the Doctor Group and the Ji Navy. Not only did they grab territory on the island of Java, but they also grabbed a lot of territory on the Malay Peninsula (named Nanyang Prefecture by the Nanyang Prefecture). It also controls a series of islands east of the Strait of Malacca.

It's like the overlord of the South Seas!

When the territory is bigger, the tentacles of trade will naturally grow. Not only did it control trade in the Strait of Malacca, but it also relied on its colonies on the island of Java to control the trade of the Spice Islands.

And even went deep into the Indian Ocean! began to compete with the Celestial Sect and the Hindu maritime merchants.

The Tianfang and Hindu maritime merchants, who had lost their trade routes, became pirates one after another and began to rob the ships of the Han Chinese maritime merchants.

As a result, warships equipped with fierce fuel tanks and burst rockets became a necessity for maritime merchants.

The current world really makes Su Shi incomprehensible! The maritime merchants expanded on the sea, the Tianli Sect expanded in the northwest, and the Great Zhou Republic expanded on land and sea in Northeast Asia, and the most surprising thing for him was that the Great Song Dynasty, which had been languishing, didn't know what was going on, and it was like a ghost, and wanted to attack the little southern overlord of the Jiaozhi Kingdom!

And let him investigate whether the state of Jiaozhi is not subordinate - what a joke! Can you check the country of Jiaozhi? Don't lose your life.

So Su Shi, who got the will, was not busy setting off, but mobilized troops everywhere and organized an armed investigation team. Now that the investigation team has been formed, today he has come to say goodbye to his father.
