Chapter 279: The Yellow Turban is Empty
Seeing Zhang Jiao fall into contemplation, Fang Zhiwen curled the corners of his mouth, Fang Zhiwen was very proud of his kind behavior, not only helped Zhang Jiao train soldiers for free, but also further helped Zhang Jiao recognize his own problems and reorganize the strategic planning of Taiping Dao, which is very, very important.
Such an important issue, Fang Zhiwen told Zhang Jiao without asking for anything in return, obviously it was not Fang Zhiwen who suddenly had an epiphany and became a Buddha on the spot, at that time, Buddhism had not yet risen in the Central Plains, and occasionally a few monks were also acting in the name of a certain Taoist sect, so it was impossible for Fang Zhiwen to become a Buddha.
So why is Fang Zhiwen so kind and sparing no effort to help Zhang Jiao, of course, for the sake of Jizhou, in order not to let the Yuan family become big in Jizhou.
As for Fang Zhiwen's resolute refusal to accept the remuneration of the training army, on the one hand, he was afraid of being truthful, on the other hand, it was naturally because he used people from Taiping Dao as thugs, and it was really not authentic to collect money from others, and he was very petty, this kind of small advantage is not easy to take advantage of, if you want to cooperate for a long time, it is best not to have the idea of taking advantage of small advantages.
Regarding Zhang Jiao's hesitation, Fang Zhiwen understands it very well.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power to read was basically in the hands of the Shi clan, so the proportion of literate people in the entire population was very low, and more importantly, the Shi clan also intended to recruit these literate social elites under their own doors, which is the so-called door guest system.
And the Zhang Jiao brothers started from the homeless people, how many scholars do you think they can have, not to mention, they also need to be the kind of Wang Zuozhi who can seek the world. So in terms of the quality of the Taiping Dao organization itself, the quality of the organization is quite low, and there are almost no decent Wenchen, maybe the generals can fight out of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, but Wenchen really reads it from books.
Look at the 36 roads of Taiping Road. Hundreds of thousands of believers seem to be well-organized and well-organized. However, as long as we carefully analyze it, we will understand that this kind of paramilitary control is actually mostly a showcase, and the management of the people is more strict, and the common people are simply unorganized and undisciplined representatives, and it is really difficult for the strong people to get them to order and prohibit; If this kind of organization is regarded as a purely military organization, it seems so unprofessional, it is simply amateurish.
So, the military organization of Taiping Dao. It's a joke from the structure. Or rather, the rabble, which is also the main reason for the rapid deterioration of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Looking at the elite core in the Taiping Dao, most of these people are the disciples of the Zhang Jiao brothers, who are pursued and pursued. When Zhang Jiao was alive, it was good to say that once Zhang Jiao died of illness, these people's faith collapsed, they quickly split, and it was difficult to form an effective organization and unified thinking.
Therefore, in terms of political ideals and political propositions, the program of Taiping Dao is really an empty pavilion that is difficult to realize.
Looking at the strategic arrangement, Zhang Jiao's current layout is to unveil the rod and rise up and the corresponding plan of the eight parties, but. Did Zhang Jiao ever think that once the rod was revealed, he did not immediately overthrow the imperial power of the Han Dynasty and completely destroy the power of the world clan immediately, so what would happen next? Will it fall into a stalemate? What is the stamina of Taiping Road after falling into a stalemate? How can you support a longer battle? Where did the money, food, and materials for the war come from?
To put it simply, Zhang Jiao only considered the first year of junior high school. I haven't thought about how to spend fifteen yet.
This kind of extremely short-sighted behavior really made Fang Zhiwen not know what to say, maybe it was really because there was no one in the Yellow Turban, and he didn't even put forward a decent strategic idea, and he was acting completely with enthusiasm.
Contrary to Zhang Jiao's naivety and impulsiveness, look at the Jizhou clan headed by the Yuan family, and look at the Yuan family's scheming and deliberate arrangement, no wonder Zhang Jiao can only become a gun in the hands of others, at the beginning it was a gun in the hands of the royal family, and finally got rid of it through the decline of imperial power, but it became a gun of the clan forces, from a gun to deal with the clan, to a gun used by the clan, Zhang Jiao is really worthy of an old gun! It can be called a model of guns!
Thinking of Zhu Qigongzi's scorn at Taiping Dao at that time, Taiping Dao is really angry! No wonder the people and clans look down on the Taiping Dao completely, even though the Taiping Dao has been glorious in history for a while, and even wiped out a large number of the clans, but in the final analysis, the Taiping Dao is a group of fools who are burned by illusions, a group of fools who are deceived and instigated by the Zhang brothers, and a group of poor people who are used by the imperial power, the clan and careerists.
However, this is the game world after all, there are more careerists here, and there are more idealists, in other words, there will be more supporters of Taiping Dao, the problem is that Zhang Jiao obviously doesn't realize that he has such a large group of strong supporters.
Of course, these supporters may not be good people, but these are the forces that Zhang Jiao can use, there is no doubt about this, if from the current predicament Zhang Jiao is facing, it is absolutely feasible to fully introduce these forces, rather than knowing the result of failure and refusing the help of the alien, it is better to risk being picked by the alien in the future to stand firm first, this is the way to choose.
It's just that Zhang Jiao is probably far from realizing this, and Fang Zhiwen will not break it, now Fang Zhiwen has to use Zhang Jiao's problem first to earn the greatest benefit for himself, of course, in the end, Fang Zhiwen will definitely make Zhang Jiao realize that huge force.
"Lord Fang, what do you see?"
Zhang Jiao finally refused to admit his problem, but asked Fang Zhiwen first, is Zhang Jiao to maintain his strong confidence, or is it to maintain an unwavering image?
"Hehe, the vine branches are spreading, hoping that one day will be overturned to be able to complete the battle, this is purely a fool's dream, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are big, the people are tens of thousands, and there are so many private soldiers of the clan, hundreds of thousands of people?! It's just a drop in the ocean. ”
"There are hundreds of thousands of them today, and there may be millions or even more in the future, and if all the people of the world are believers, great things can be accomplished with a single hand."
Zhang Jiao was anxious, and directly said his thoughts, Fang Zhiwen pursed his lips and smiled: "That's right, I'm afraid that Mr. Zhang won't be able to wait for that time." ”
"Ugh"
"I don't know if Mr. Zhang can play chess?"
"Well, there will be some."
"Does Mr. Zhang know that Qiyan is the 'Golden Horn and Silver Border Grass Belly'? Isn't this world the same as a chess game, where one son and one son are competing to be the first, how can it be hastily completed? There is a process in everything, and Mr. Zhang has been running back and forth for decades, preaching in the world, and has achieved the current situation, is it a day's work? And what Mr. Zhang just said just now is not a big joke? ”
“”
Zhang Jiao was silent, holding a beech wood whisk in both hands, put it in front of the wide robe, closed his eyes slightly, and the expression on his face was solemn, this guy was interesting, he actually took a long test at the negotiation table three times and five times, and thought it was a game of chess!
His behavior completely exposed the hole cards of Taiping Dao, that is, he was completely unprepared, completely unplanned, just taking one step at a time, in other words, Fang Zhiwen could be pressed step by step, until he touched the bottom line of Taiping Dao, from the perspective of negotiation, Zhang Jiao had completely lost.
After a long time, Zhang Jiao slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, and he obviously had made a decision.
"Lord Fang's words made the old Dao mouth suddenly! I have been taught, what Lord Fang said just now is the true portrayal of Miyun City, Fengning County, Lelang and Qin Island, the foundation, expansion and potential, Lord Fang is really a master in this, and he must talk to Lord Fang about a game when he has time. ”
Fang Zhiwen smiled, Zhang Jiao is not bad, he can immediately understand what Fang Zhiwen wants to say, in fact, Fang Zhiwen just wants to tell Zhang Jiao, don't you have no strategic planning, then you won't look at other people's strategic planning, the best thing is to look at what Fang Zhiwen did.
Fang Zhiwen took the Miyun Secret Road as the foundation, stretched his power to the grassland, established Fengning County, expanded his influence and strength, and then passed through Lelang and Qindao, as a threat to the Central Plains, from the chessboard, Fang Zhiwen's layout is definitely very classic and down-to-earth, not surprising, the magic lies in the mastery of timing, this step on foot, actually repeatedly succeeded in the strong enemy, this is a matter of skill.
Zhang Jiao will not doubt his own skills, otherwise he would not have come to this point in the cracks, on the contrary, he lacks a big and effective strategic concept, when Fang Zhiwen used himself and the chess game as an example, Zhang Jiao immediately understood that the things he had been worrying about in the past were actually not so difficult.
To put it bluntly, it is a matter of understanding, when Zhang Jiao recognises the enemies around him, re-evaluates these relationships, and then re-positions Taiping Dao, he can clearly see the problem of Taiping Dao, and a feasible direction to solve the problem, as a leader, Zhang Jiao has never lacked this vision, but there was no such way of thinking in the past, once Fang Zhiwen woke up, Zhang Jiao's thinking of falling into a dead end suddenly opened.
"Hehe, a certain family doesn't know how to play chess, but I like to watch people play chess, there is a chance for Mr. Zhang to travel to Miyun City, and the chess players in Miyun City are masters like clouds! Haha"
"If you have the opportunity, Lao Dao will go and see it, but when the time comes, I'm afraid that Lord Fang will not welcome it.1
"No, even if Mr. Zhang wants to live in Miyun City for a long time, he is very welcome, doesn't Mr. Zhang think that Miyun City is not safe? Miyun City doesn't dare to say anything else, there is definitely no problem with safety, and this female Taoist, if you want to find a place to cultivate, you can also consider Miyun City. ”
In these two sentences, the two of them are sharp, as for how to understand it, it depends on everyone's thoughts, but the last sentence is obviously digging the foot of the wall in front of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao is not angry, but smiled confidently.
Xiangxiang, who had been honest, exhaled softly, knowing that the conversation was basically over here, and the morning seemed to be very dull
On the other side, Zhao Yun, who had been listening to the conversation between the two with his ears pricked up, had a glint in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was thinking more. To be continued......
