Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Army of a Million Great
"Can a spark start a prairie fire?"
Zong Ge repeated with some hesitation, and Chai Tiannuo nodded lightly:
"Yes."
Chai Tiannuo looked at the somewhat gray sky and spoke slowly.
Although Dahua and Dawei are adjacent, the state is completely different.
Since the Tianqi Emperor ascended the throne and implemented the new policy, everything in Dahua is thriving, unless there is a natural disaster, otherwise the Cangtian Dao does not have much chance to spread, although there are many internal corrosion invasions, but the overall trend is not a problem.
In order to preach, the Cangtian Daoists in Dahua are trying their best to lure the people, otherwise how could the people risk being punished by the imperial court and believe in a sect that is designated as an evil by the imperial court.
The Great Wei is different, the Cangtian Dao is like the sun in the sky, and the hundred officials in the court are all Taoists, even the emperor also needs the divine endowment of the Kunwu Immortal Kingdom, and the Cangtian Dao priest as the national teacher is high, and the position is faintly higher than that of the Great Wei Emperor.
As an organization extended from the Kunwu Immortal Kingdom, Cangtian Dao was equivalent to another imperial court in the Great Wei, full of small altars and rudders, and the clergy treated the people as fish and meat, thinking about the law every day to collect various religious taxes.
The hardships of the people, the low-level government soldiers and township soldiers who did not belong to the royal forbidden army, had a hard time, doing the most dangerous and tiring work, but they couldn't even get the military salary, and their hearts were already full of anger.
It can be said that today's Great Wei is like an extremely dry grassland under the scorching sun, but when a spark falls, it will immediately ignite a raging fire!
"What we need to do now is to disperse the people and encourage the people to ignite this fire."
"When the fire sweeps through the entire Great Wei, all the people are angry and angry, and the Great Wei will surely change the sky!"
"No matter how strong the enemy is, he will eventually drown in the sea of people's war."
Zong Ge and the others admired the forked hands, Chai Tiannuo's words really shook their hearts, no wonder the saints are cloudy, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, if the people who are the cornerstone rise up, no one is invincible!
The number of troops has exceeded 300,000, and it is impossible to use such a large number to conquer the city, Chai Tiannuo found those who can speak well, and each led a team of 10,000 people to all parts of the Great Wei, with only one task, to mobilize the people and rebel!
With more than 100,000 people shuttling around the country, the news about the two princes and the omnipotent immortal master in the team soon spread all over the world, and more and more people, township soldiers, and even the established government soldiers defected, and the team became larger and larger at an alarming speed.
As Chai Tiannuo said, the spark of the stars can set the prairie on fire, the land of Kyushu is in full bloom, and the fire is ignited in the whole territory of the Great Wei.
In the end, a large number of the imperial court regimes of the entire county and the entire government were annexed, the rudder of the Cangtian Dao was destroyed, the clergy were wiped out, and the area controlled by the Dahua Imperial Court was instantly reduced by half!
As the number of people increased, Chai Tiannuo was no longer reluctant to make ends meet, and began to integrate and temper the huge army.
Personnel with insufficient quality were sent to the rear to control the situation, leaving behind mainly defective soldiers and young men, and tempering the battle formation while attacking cities and conquering cities during the day.
In the evening, the senior generals were gathered to listen to him explain the "Actual Record of Military Training", so as to unite this unprecedented team into a whole in the shortest possible time!
As the team gradually took shape, Chai Tiannuo began to explain the thirty-six strategies to everyone again, and the more people who had never been exposed to such a technique, the more frightened they became.
Although there are various military strategies circulating in the world, there has never been one that is truly systematically integrated, and the thirty-six strategies almost encompass all the world, presenting those originally unfathomable military strategies to everyone with simple truths.
The longer I spend with Chai Tiannuo, the greater the shock Chai Tiannuo will be with them, the combat power will be heavenly, the literary brilliance will be amazing, and the depth of knowledge is unmatched!
After a long time, the thirty-six strategies were compiled into a book by people with a heart and named the Chai Zi Art of War, and Chai Tiannuo was regarded as a real saint by these people who were full of hope and eager to change their home and country.
In the middle of the night, the generals dispersed, and Chai Tiannuo began to lecture with Zongge and his daughter.
Zongge was poor for half his life, his wife and children died, only his daughter survived, if Zongge ascended the throne as the emperor, this little lady with a gentle personality like his father would be the throne
The only heir.
As for the content of the lectures, it is mainly "Zizhi Tongjian".
After more than ten days of study, Zongge was surprised, and in simple language, he summed up many lessons and lessons of herdsmen's governance, which is a treasure book written completely for rulers.
As long as you think carefully, you can avoid mistakes, make the country stronger, and make the rule more stable!
"The power of the immortal master is unmatched in the world!"
Zong Ge sighed, and in Tuoba Yanhuan's eyes, Chai Tiannuo's slightly emaciated body was like a mountain.
On the twentieth day after the uprising, a mighty army stopped in front of a large city.
"Immortal Master, ahead is Tongzhou City, which is an important town guarding the land of Gyeonggi!"
Feng Ximo said with a solemn face, his state was much better than before, and the fitting five-flower armor was worn on his body, which was even more majestic.
"How's the troop?"
Chai Tiannuo did not wear a piece of armor, but wore a pure white Confucian shirt, and wore a star crown on his head, full of fairy spirit.
Now that the number of soldiers in the army has exceeded one million, if he, a saint, is still needed to go into battle to kill the enemy, it will be a great shame for everyone!
"There are 50,000 government soldiers, and the township soldiers should be around 50,000, and the number is far from being comparable to the Spark Army."
After discussion, everyone gave the army a name, the Spark Army, which means Spark Burning the Plains.
"However, Tongzhou City has a Cangtian Dao altar, there are several priests, more than 100 magicians, and there are a lot of war weapons, so it is not easy to attack."
Feng Ximo frowned, it was not difficult to capture Tongzhou City, a million troops attacked the city at the same time, and the soldiers defending the city couldn't defend it at all.
But what the immortal master despises most is to rely on numbers to win, and he loves soldiers like children, so he will definitely not practice this method of warfare.
"Think more, look more, the big guy will discuss more, one person will plan the short, and the other will plan the long, there will always be a way."
Chai Tiannuo said with a smile, but he sighed in his heart, he had finally come to this point, and after Tongzhou, it was a horse and a flat river, and the army could reach the capital of Great Wei in one day.
I insisted on making the task of rescuing the second princess a big event, and now I still feel a little dream-like when I think about it.
An hour later, the siege began.
Chai Tiannuo sat on the high platform, looked at the cannon bed crossbow catapult that was slowly pushed forward, and the team that ran around like an ant colony and smiled.
In Tongzhou City, General Weifu's face was a little pale, and everywhere he saw was a crowd of ants, such a terrifying battle, he had never seen it, and the pressure was like a mountain, which made him a little breathless.
"Master, Tongzhou City, can you prevent it?"
Looking back and asking, the sweat on the forehead of the pot-bellied priest flowed down:
"Heaven forbid, it should, it can be prevented, right?"
After several years of pampering, the originally elite Cangtian Dao priest has long been corrupted into slag.
Looking at the battle in front of me, I felt remorseful in my heart, why didn't I retreat earlier, and now I can't leave if I want to.
