"The Great Heavenly Master must be a god!" said the people.
But they didn't know that the omnipotent Great Heavenly Master in their minds was also having a headache at this moment. He looked at the people standing in front of him and said: "You guys have no problem studying, but I'm looking for someone who can farm. Do you understand farming?"
After a long while, a thin scholar finally spoke weakly: "Grand Master, I, my family is a farmer."
"Okay, come here, and the others get out!" Fang Zhiyi didn't act like a hermit at all. He casually drove them away, then grabbed the scholar and started a new round of explanations. During the explanation, one could hear the scholar crying out in pain.
The next morning, he walked out of the Grand Master's study with a shaggy head, but his face was full of excitement. He ignored everything and headed out of the city.
The guards were a bit curious, craning their necks to take a quick look. Then they heard Fang Zhiyi shout, "Two of you watch him. If he loses a hair, watch out for your heads!"
The earliest period for establishing rules was when a new regime was established, and some powerful people who tried to resist were beheaded.
Many policies that benefited the people were promulgated one by one. For a time, almost every household in Liangzhou had a tablet dedicated to the Great Heavenly Master Fang Zhiyi.
The Taiping Army was also facing reforms. This period was the last period of the Great Sheng Dynasty. Warlords were fighting for power and the court was broken. No one would care about this small Liangzhou now, so he had to act quickly.
In the past, in order to reduce casualties, he used the method of commanding the army in the name of the Heavenly Master, which was equivalent to a religious armed organization. But now it is definitely not possible. Fang Zhiyi began to evaluate his troops and promoted those who were good at commanding to be generals. At the same time, he established a general staff and proposed the concept of simulated warfare, so as to select people to join the general staff and formulate a unified command system to avoid the situation of each fighting on its own in the future.
There was almost no resistance, because he was the most prestigious person in the army, followed by the 800 people who followed him at the beginning.
Next, Fang Zhiyi arranged for people to find craftsmen to make weapons and armor for the Taiping Army. At the same time, he introduced the method of "farming and training soldiers". While ensuring that the army had food to eat, he conducted regular battle formation drills.
However, Fang Zhiyi was not worried about food and fodder for the time being, because he had already sent people with refined salt and sugar to the neighboring Yongzhou and Jizhou. The wealthy people there liked them very much and were unwilling to exchange them for money and food. Even if they knew that Liangzhou had changed hands, the court would not care about them. What was there for them to do?
Cartloads of refined salt and sugar were shipped out, and cartloads of money and grain were brought back. The Taiping Army was there to protect us along the way. It was so comfortable.
The Taiping Army's military exercises were very interesting. They were not simply asked to form a formation, but to catch bandits. There were dozens of bandit forces of all sizes in Liangzhou. They had been doing well in the past, but this year they suffered a lot. The imperial army was gone, and a group of people claiming to be the Taiping Army came. Their tactics were different from those of the imperial army. They climbed mountains and hid in caves when they saw them, and shouted "Tianshi protect me" in their mouths. They fought without regard for their lives. The bandits had almost no power to resist and had to flee into the mountains. Over time, some big bandits simply surrendered. After surrendering, they were incorporated and then asked to lead the way to continue to encircle and suppress their own forces.
Finally, the world was in chaos. When Fang Zhiyi heard that a Chu Chaofeng had appeared in Yongzhou next door and a Wu King had appeared in Jizhou, he narrowed his eyes.
It's time to prepare for practice.
In fact, he did not intend to target his neighbors, but they had already set their sights on him. The main reason was that their refined salt and sugar were too eye-catching, and the King of Wu had no way to produce them. So he slapped his forehead and decided to mobilize troops to attack the Liangzhou bandits "Taiping Dao"!
However, as soon as they entered the territory of Liangzhou, the Wu king's army suffered a setback.
"King Wu, what are those people on the opposite side doing?" An advisor looked out with his hands on his hips. The Taiping soldiers on the opposite side didn't even form a battle formation, but just stood in the sun with a torch in each of their hands.
