Chapter 38: The Beginning of the World
Since there were forces moving south everywhere, the forces that were the first to arrive in Jiangnan sent people to the Yangtze River to wait for other teams to move south in order to expand their power to speak in affairs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I don't know how many days ago it was like this, but in the past two days, there has been no team moving south, and many of them have planned to give up, but they don't want to find a huge army at this time, which is approaching.
If it is a small force, they are actually very welcome, which means that it is co-opted, and then it is the promotion of their own power.
But if it's a big force, it's not good, it's just coming to grab the territory! And those who can reach the banks of the Yangtze River slowly for so long must be a rare big force. This kind of existence, it's already good if you don't attack it in groups, and don't expect to be treated kindly.
Everyone was on guard, and this force looked like it had at least a million people, and it looked like it was a powerful force at first glance, which couldn't help but make those local forces fearful.
However, not everyone was on guard, and when one of the slightly tattered generals saw the banner, he instead shouted at Chen Tao and them: "But Your Excellency the Heaven Shaking Demon Lord? I am the head of the sect, He Yi, I have been waiting for a long time again! ”
When the surrounding forces heard this, they were speechless, this seemingly very powerful force actually belonged to the Yellow Turban Army? Looking at He Yi's tattered appearance, and then looking at the force that was more regular than the regular army, everyone felt that their heads were not enough.
"It turned out to be General He, but I don't know where the sect leader is?" Since he was his own person, Chen Tao, who had already crossed the river, naturally stepped forward to say hello with a smile on his face, and asked by the way.
"The Sect Master has set up a base in Chaisang County, and has circled enough places for you to station. According to her old man's meaning, she hopes that the Taiping followers can merge and stop working separately. At the same time, he said that if the Demon Lord is willing, she can abdicate and make way for Xian, and you will serve as the leader of the third generation of the Taiping Sect! He Yi replied respectfully, after all, the person in front of him was likely to become the new sect leader in the future. As for the relationship between Chen Tao and Zhang Ning, it is now also in a state of mid-emptiness.
In the eyes of these old yellow scarves, Zhang Ning is planning to officially get married. However, I have to admit that Chen Tao wants to be strong and powerful, and if he can follow him, then the future should become very good.
"Then please lead the way...... By the way, please accept this welcome gift! Chen Tao smiled and threw a Qiankun bag over.
"Thank you for the Demon Lord's gift!" He Yi knew that Chen Tao was not short of money, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked him. After a sneak look, he found that this Qiankun bag was not only superb, but also contained five hundred low-grade spirit stones, and he was immediately excited.
You must know that the spirit stone mine has long been depleted, and it is difficult for the monks of the world to want a spirit stone to assist in cultivation. Don't count on the middle grade and the top grade, a low-grade spirit stone is enough to make people fight for their heads. Five hundred pieces at once, He Yi couldn't help but sigh: What a local tyrant!
He didn't know that the price of these 500 spirit stones in the supermarket was only 500 spars, and Chen Tao had also saved more than 4 million spars along the way, and he really didn't care about the consumption of 500 spars.
As for the courtiers under Chen Tao's command, they are not surprised, they are used to seeing the appearance of the lord's local tyrants. The key is that Chen Tao has always been very calculating, and he is actually willing to give it away, and he thinks it is also deliberate, not just casually.
On the way, He Yi also told Chen Tao what happened in Jiangnan by the way, and of course he also told what happened in Shuzhong.
First of all, the Jiangnan side was divided into three forces, the Northern Party, the Yellow Party, and the Southern Party. Listening to the name, it is not difficult to understand that the Northern Party is the force that moved down from the north of the Yangtze River, including Liu Bei and Cao Cao and others, they are Hakka, so they naturally want to stay warm.
Today, the Northern Party is mainly distributed in the four counties of Jingnan and the western part of Jiaozhou, as their sphere of influence. As for how to distribute internally, that is their business, and Chen Tao is not interested in knowing.
Needless to say, the Southern Party is naturally the local forces in Jiangdong, including Liu Xuan, a relative of the Han family, as well as Yan Baihu, who took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, and the local forces that were originally entrenched in Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and Sun Jian seems to be within the scope of the Southern Party.
Finally, there is the Yellow Party, needless to say, it is the Yellow Turban Army force, which is the third force outside the two major forces. It is not liked by the two major forces, but there is no way to ignore its existence.
In terms of population, the Huang Dang has the largest population, with more than 5 million people, and Chen Tao also has 6 million people. And the combined population of the northern and southern parties is only more than 8 million, and it has gone through a bloodbath of the demon army......
In other words, the world has a population of only 14 million people, which is tragic. However, compared to the end of the Three Kingdoms, the population of the Han people dropped to 8 million...... That can only be said to be the room for decline.
In fact, there are still a group of Han people on the southeast peninsula, but the demon army does not seem to have attacked there, so they live very comfortably and do not plan to return to the territory of the Han Dynasty. Maybe for them, it's like a peach blossom paradise, right? It's just that there are no eggs under the nest, and they are just too naïve.
As for the Bashu side, it is said that it has been completely occupied by the demon clan. Earlier, the Terrans formed an alliance and fought with the Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan had already been washed in the blood of the Demon Lord once, and then was jointly attacked by the Terrans, including the Lang Evil Palace as a help, which forced Huang Chao and Pan Lin, and even the three demon kings of Shamoke to escape into the land of Bashu.
They merged with the vulture bones in the land of Bashu to establish the demon kingdom, and they heard that there were more than 2 million people under their command. Fortunately, they also know how to do business, and they do not embarrass these people. And those people under the protection of the demon clan, although they lost their freedom and dignity like the Han people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at least they lived at ease, so they accepted their fate, and few people fled the demon country.
It is said that the demon lord on the other side of the demon country, when he went south to Bashu, was obstructed by the demon king, was a little injured, and had no choice but to return to Chang'an, but the truth is unknown. I only knew that Dong Zhuo immediately sent troops and wanted to come to the Central Plains and Hebei, but I was afraid that he would be completely under the rule of the Demon Kingdom.
In this way, the world has become a three-point situation, and it is interesting that the demon kingdom occupies the Central Plains, Hebei and the northwest, which is no different from the distribution of Cao Cao's power in history; The demon clan is dominant in Bashu, and even the Yunnan area is occupied by them, as if it was the later Shu Han; The human race is entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, but it happens to be the territory where Soochow is located.
The world is divided into three parts, but it is not Wei Shu and Wu who divide the world, but the demons and demons who divide the world into three parts, how ironic......
Under the leadership of He Yi, it took the army a day to cross the river smoothly, and then it took another two days to reach Chaisang. The Yellow Turban Army's sphere of influence is Yuzhang County, but in fact, Zhang Ning only occupies Northern Yuzhang, and the main stronghold is set up in Chaisang.
There are other eleven counties in Yuzhang County with southern party forces, namely: Nanchang, Poyang, Aixian, Jianchang, Jiancheng, Xingan, Yichun, Luling, Linru, Nancheng, and Ganxian.
These forces range from 40,000 to 5,000 or less, but they are distributed in the huge Yuzhang County. Zhang Ning considered that it was difficult to find them when he first came, so he first took stabilizing his subordinates as his main task, but obviously he would not let them go.
Chen Tao also felt that it was better for Yuzhang County not to have a second force, and only hoped that the process would be less bloody.
Huaxia can no longer withstand the civil war...... (To be continued.) )
