"Take it slowly, and it will be done gradually!" Mu Lingxi's expression was calm, without a trace of impatience, "This is not in a hurry!"

"Don't be in a hurry!" Liu Xiu said calmly: "Time flies quickly, and in the near future, the peace will be broken!"

"Don't be impatient!" Mu Lingxi said calmly: "The closer you get to the imperial capital, the stronger the control, the farther away from the imperial capital, the more you control the weakness and crusade, and the more difficult it is." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm far away from the Night Emperor City, it's far, far away, and it will take a long time to crusade against me......"

"This world is too big, not to be immortals, not to gods, not to be as big as heaven and earth. The Hundred Prefectures of Middle-earth are only the richest part of the Endless Continent, but they occupy a small area. The area of the hundred states of Middle Earth is too vast, which makes it difficult for the central government of the dynasties to control the localities. Once there is a big change, it takes a lot of time to transfer troops and increase pressure. ”

"The situation is disturbed, we are like a boat in the wind and waves, if we are not careful, it will capsize!"

In the past three months, the more Liu Xiu came into contact with government affairs, the more he came into contact with everything around him, the more he felt that the situation was very bad, very bad, and he was about to capsize at any time.

The Taiping Army, which can only control Yinzhou, Jiangzhou, Xuanzhou, and the land of the three states, wants to expand its territory, but it seems that it is not enough, it is only the land of the three states, and it only controls the state city, some of the places that are wanted, the key places, and the extra cities belong to the power vacuum.

And under the command of the Taiping Army, there is a million army.

It's just that this million army is seriously waterlogged, of which Xinding occupies more than 800,000, and more belong to the township soldiers, just simple drills, and they usually live at home, and they have no military pay. It's just that in peacetime, it's okay to maintain law and order, and it's okay to play soy sauce, but on the battlefield, most of them are sheep herders.

Most of them are mainly defending the city and maintaining local law and order.

The real soldiers are only 200,000, but among these 200,000, more than 100,000 are guarding some critical places and some key places.

The real mobile troops, the elite soldiers fighting on the battlefield, are less than 100,000.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods, and the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army is not as good as that of the Qingzhou Army, and it is much worse than the Black Wolf Army.

Fortunately, the weapons are relatively advanced, which makes up for the lack of combat effectiveness.

Once, Liu Xiu put forward the concept of flintlock pistol and artillery, and Mu Lingxi referred to it, absorbed the art of immortal alchemy, created a fire pattern gun, and equipped it in the army, to a large extent, to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness.

Among these two weapons, Mu Lingxi has set up special means to prevent disassembly, and once disassembled, it will be automatically destroyed; and in some key links, it is made by hand and strictly controlled, resulting in the secrets of these two weapons, which have not been revealed

Later, the Great Chu army also captured some fire-patterned guns and fire-patterned cannons, but they didn't figure out the principle, and a series of refiners imitated them, but the imitation fire-patterned guns, fire-patterned guns were expensive, and the production cost was high, so they couldn't be mass-produced at all.

In fact, when it comes to grades, fire pattern guns and fire pattern guns are not top-notch in terms of power. Many magic weapons, in terms of power, far surpass these two weapons.

Mainly, these two kinds of weapons have low manufacturing costs, can be mass-produced, and can be equipped in large quantities in the army for use by ordinary soldiers; while many magic weapons, with high manufacturing prices, cannot be mass-produced at all, and cannot be equipped in the army on a large scale.

Relying on the fire pattern guns and fire pattern cannons, the Taiping army broke out with strong combat effectiveness, and the Taiping army defeated the annihilation of the Great Chu army again and again before gaining a firm foothold.

However, it was only a matter of sitting on his heels, and it was very unstable.

Among the many officials who have taken refuge at present, they are opportunists above the ninth floor, and if the Taiping army continues to win and can stabilize the situation, these officials will not turn back; if the battle situation is slightly unsmooth, some people may just surrender, or they will have eyebrows with other forces and secretly write letters.

If one day, the Taiping army is completely annihilated, there are few people who can die for it.

Perhaps, some people directly cut off the head of him, the king of peace, and voted for it.

In the army, however, there are also people with different minds, and most of the generals who participated in the rebellion were dissatisfied with society and were tolerated by the world; some were mainly social scum and criminals, who were full of resentment against society and embarked on the road of rebellion; there were also some generals who were careerists who wanted to get ahead; and among them, there were spies and spies of some forces.

In short, these generals are also extremely unreliable.

To be an official, kill people and set fire to be recruited!

At the critical moment, these generals will be recruited, surrendered, and counterattacked.

In short, the Taiping army has too many speculators, too many people with corrupt morals, and occupies as many as nine layers, and the reason why they can unite now is mainly because the troubled times have come, and the Taiping army has not yet suffered a major defeat, occupying a local military advantage.

But once there is a defeat, once there is a greater temptation, once there is a change...... In short, these officials, these generals, are extremely unreliable.

It's just unreliable, and it has to be appointed, and some people are even more important.

As the saying goes, the world is full of usable people when employing people's strengths, and there are no available people in the world when employing people's shortcomings.

Of course, on the other hand, thanks to these speculators.

Without these speculators, there would be no room for the White Lotus Sect to rebel at all, and even if it was a fluke rebellion, it would soon be extinguished; it was only because of the existence of these speculators that the Great Chu was in chaos, and the Taiping army was able to survive to this day.

For these speculators and unreliable people, Liu Xiu adopted two methods, one is to constantly brainwash, be reasonable, and talk about interests. Those who like to listen to reason should be reasonable, and those who like to listen to interests should pay attention to interests. The two are constantly combined, constantly brainwashed, and these speculators are transformed.

As the saying goes, if there are too many lies, it is the truth.

Maybe I don't believe some remarks the first time I hear them, I don't believe them the second time, and I don't believe them the third time, but hundreds of times, thousands of times, constantly instilled, gradually anesthetize themselves, and many people believe it. Even if you don't believe it, pretend to believe it so that you don't get isolated.

However, many people often go from pretending to believe and finally believing.

Ten speculators, as long as there is only one diehard, it is enough.

Another way is to continue to cultivate talents, preferably to establish an academy, or a boy camp or something like that.

Adult minds have been accomplished, brainwashing is difficult, brainwashing is laborious.

However, children between the ages of 10 and 15 are the best targets for brainwashing and the main force of rebellion.

Just like in history, the most loyal to Hong Xiuquan was not Yang Xiuqing, not Wei Changhui, not Shi Dakai, but Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng.

In view of the various deficiencies of the Taiping Army in the land of Sanzhou, Liu Xiu thought about one construction policy and one reform policy, there may be many shortcomings, and there may be some utopia, but this is the beginning of gradual regularization, the foundation of the great cause of farming, and the foundation of survival in troubled times.

Farming is very important, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, how to raise them, but also depends on the level of farming.

With the weakening of the Great Chu's deterrence, the world has entered a chaotic era, and this chaotic era cannot be ended in three or five years, it requires a long period of fighting, competition, and elimination. (To be continued.) )
