Chapter 938: The terrifying Qingzhou Bottom Force
Prosperous, prosperous, extraordinarily prosperous!
The closer he got to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, the more amazing what Ma Chao saw and heard.
Along the wide and flat official road, there is a village of considerable scale every thousand miles or so, and the deeper you go into the hinterland of Qingzhou, the closer you get to the yellow turban collar, the more prosperous it becomes.
A village has a population of hundreds of thousands, among which the commercial streets are all lively and noisy, and the business travel is endless, which makes Ma Chao and others envious.
As expected, the rune car has become the standard here, no matter what you do, if you need to use a car, it must be a rune car.
When he arrived in the village behind, he was a little numb, the kind of one or two talisman cars per family, he and his subordinates only had envy and jealousy.
However, after going deep into Qingzhou for a long time, he also found an unusual place, that is, the villages along the official road are larger than the other, and the same is more prosperous and noisy.
On the contrary, it was not in the towns around the official road, Ma Chao also deliberately went over to take a look, although there was still an endless flow of people and cars, but he clearly felt that no matter how prosperous or lively, it was not as good as the villages distributed along the official road.
Later, I inquired and learned that the villages along the official road were all territories protected by the Yellow Turban Collar.
At the beginning, when the Yellow Turban Leader repaired and widened the official road, he said in advance that other forces in Qingzhou were not allowed to target the villages distributed along the official road with strong measures, otherwise the Yellow Turban Leader would take a heavy hand to rectify it.
Looking at the entire Qingzhou, and even counting the entire northern region, there is no force that has the courage not to give face to the Yellow Turbans and does not listen to the greetings.
Don't look at the yellow turban collar has been cowering in the four counties of Qingzhou, putting on a posture of not participating in the world's hegemony, but no one dares to ignore the greeting of the yellow turban collar.
It is precisely because of this, coupled with the convenient transportation of wide and flat official roads, that the villages distributed along the official roads have developed rapidly, and even have the scale of small towns.
It's just that with the Yellow Turban Collar preparing books for their safety, and the strength of their own security team is not bad, they didn't bother to build any protective measures such as city walls, and still maintained the appearance of the village.
This also made it easier for the villages to expand without worrying about offenses such as not having enough land inside the walls.
As for the towns far away from the official road, they are all occupied by gangs of strongman forces, but they dare not act recklessly, and only dare to follow the Yellow Turban Collar to develop the economy and people's livelihood.
Although the Yellow Turban Collar did not take the initiative to repair and widen such roads connected to the official road, these towns are the core of the nodes on the original land of Qingzhou, as long as they are willing to develop the people's livelihood and economy, with the help of the good environment of Qingzhou and Beidi, it is not difficult to develop and grow to a certain extent.
Some town lords who are flexible and bent on getting the Yellow Turban Collar have begun to purchase road construction rune equipment from the Yellow Turban Collar, and plan to invite the professionals of the Yellow Turban Collar to help plan the road, preparing to build their own roads to connect their towns with the official roads that the Yellow Turban Collar repaired and widened.
I heard that for these discerning local heroes, the Yellow Turban Collar expressed a welcoming attitude, and was ready to wait for them to repair the town roads and official roads, and then include them in the protection of the Yellow Turban Collar.
To Ma Chao's surprise, it was such a little bit of good news that seemed insignificant, and it also made these caring town owners excited, and they were all proactive, even at the expense of taking out the money they had accumulated with great difficulty, and they had to hug the thighs of the yellow scarf collar.
In short, after hearing such news, he was stunned for a while.
I don't know why, Ma Chao couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, when the Han Empire was at its peak, the weather of all countries coming to the dynasty is estimated to be nothing more than that, right?
Of course, Qingzhou is not a harmonious scene, and naturally disputes and fights are indispensable.
The Yellow Turban Collar only occupies the land of the four counties, and also protects the safety of the villages along the official road, as for the safety of the rest of the towns, it is up to the lord of the town and the people there to figure out their own way.
It is also for this reason that there are still several bandit forces in Qingzhou that specialize in robbing these towns, but they are not too much, but they are still first-class bandits and bandits.
Even many lords of towns far away from official roads, even in the hinterland of the hills, also participated in the robbery operation, turning a good town into a miasma of thieves.
Of course, Ma Chao only heard about it, and he didn't know what the real situation was.
In short, he and his subordinates advanced along the spacious and flat official road, but the environment was unprecedentedly peaceful, not to mention that there were not many thieves who dared to take the initiative to make trouble.
It is no wonder that the entire official road is filled with an indescribable prosperous atmosphere, people and cars come and go, just look at the talisman cars full of goods, as well as the descriptions and the neat clothes of the people in the villages along the way, as well as the ruddy complexion, you know how moisturizing this life is.
While the place is rich, the force of the villages passed by on the road is not weak, and there is a mysterious and powerful Yellow Turban Collar Preparation, Ma Chao and his subordinates felt a rare atmosphere of tranquility along the way.
As a general of the army, Ma Chao was shocked by the prosperity he saw along the way, but he also paid more attention to the flourishing martial arts in the villages distributed along the official road.
Every time I find a village to rest, in addition to the bustling street market, it is the ubiquitous martial arts training and sparring scenes, all of which are practiced in the regular martial arts of the army, and the closer to the Yellow Turban, the more good players will be.
When he arrived in a certain village, he even saw a young man in the village, who was practicing the normal martial arts method of practicing qi under the guidance of some young people.
This surprise is not trivial.
That is the method of practicing qi of a military general, although in Ma Chao's opinion, the level is not high, but as long as the village teenager who cultivates works hard, plus the food and nutrition can keep up, at least he can cultivate to the level of the third-rate general, and if the talent is slightly better, he may be able to cultivate to the level of a third-rate military general.
Don't look at the third-rate generals as inconspicuous, but the subordinates of the major princes as the backbone of the army are precisely the generals at the level of third-rate generals.
Take the Xiliang Coalition Army as an example, the third-rate generals are already the main generals of a 100,000-level army, and the small military generals may not have such a level of military generals to practice qi!
By now, Ma Chao has completely figured out that the many villages along the spacious and flat official roads, the martial arts in the army and the methods of practicing qi among the generals that have been circulated in them are all handed down by the yellow turban collar.
It is said that inside the Yellow Turban Collar, these means of exercising the body and improving their strength have long been popularized in the schools everywhere, and even with the improvement of the level of the academy, the level of the martial arts that the students can cultivate is getting higher and higher.
In addition to being shocked in his heart, Ma Chao was quite unhappy, which was completely different from the tradition of the Ma family.
I really don't understand, is there something wrong with the brain of the big leader of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, and he has popularized the cultivation resources of such a treasure, once the students in the academy have fully grown up, wouldn't there be a third-rate and above level military general with a million units?
As long as he thought of this, even with Ma Chao's bravery and boldness, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.
Ask yourself, if he falls into the siege of millions of third-rate and above generals, even if he can kill the siege, he will be seriously injured, and the biggest possibility is that it will be completely finished.
Damn the Yellow Turban Leader of Qingzhou, isn't he worried that the emergence of third-rate generals in millions or even tens of millions under his rule and the powerful generals on it will shake the foundation of the Yellow Turban Leader's rule?
Obviously, with Ma Chao's way of thinking, he can't understand the practice of the yellow scarf collar at all.
And when he and his subordinates came to an area that was only tens of thousands of miles away from the Yellow Turban Collar, and finally found the breath of a second-rate military general in the village where they were resting, as well as the breath of a third-rate good hand, they were already indifferent in addition to secretly scolding in their hearts as usual.
Obviously, the level of the martial general's cultivation method that has been passed down from the Yellow Turban Collar here is not weak.
What's even more infuriating is that the young men and young people in the village don't shy away from watching them as outsiders when they practice martial arts, and they take care of their own cultivation or sparring, but they don't take the initiative to reveal the core secrets of the martial arts general's qi training method, and let outsiders observe and see.
In other words, seeing such a scene, the group, including Ma Chao, cheered up and carefully observed the traces of the Qingzha and the teenagers in these villages when they were cultivating, and obtained the information they wanted from it.
Especially the cadres who followed, their eyes were full of red light, if it weren't for Ma Chao's effective warning, I am afraid that these guys would have to use people to extract confessions in order to obtain the cultivation method of the second-rate military generals cultivated by these young and young people in the village.
It's just that here, if they dare to make a move, Ma Chao estimates that except for his own possibility of escaping, his subordinates have almost no chance of survival.
"Don't worry about it, since the Yellow Turban Collar has made these cultivation methods public, we will naturally have a chance to get better ones when we get there, you all take it easy, don't mess around!"
Ma Chao sternly warned, in order to dispel the dangerous thoughts of his subordinates, he specially inquired about the news in this regard, and sure enough, the information he got was like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished the fire in the hearts of his subordinates, and the whole heart was cold.
What they could see, the rest of the outsiders could naturally see.
Some guys are blinded by greed, act irrationally, and then don't do it.
Ma Chao's village has a population of millions, and the number of masters among them is extremely large, once mobilized, Ma Chao can't bear it, let alone other good players, once he moves his crooked mind and takes action, the consequences are quite bad.
This hasn't entered the territory of the Yellow Turban Collar yet, but the peripheral villages close to it have such strength, I really don't know how strong the Yellow Turban Collar is?
With the strength of the villages along the official road in Qingzhou, no prince in the world dares to underestimate it, and it is impossible to suppress it unless a peerless general is dispatched, but how can there be so many peerless generals in the world?
Not to mention, Ma Chao took the power he saw when he entered Qingzhou, compared it with the Xiliang coalition army, and was depressed to find that except for Han Sui and Ma Teng, the rest of the coalition forces were not opponents of the strength outside Qingzhou!
