The fruit of the book of pirates

Chapter 200 Past events
"Of course, these are not all bad things. Controlling the rivers and lakes makes the country more stable, emphasizing culture and suppressing military affairs makes the country flourish. In the middle of the previous dynasty, our country ushered in unprecedented cultural prosperity, and those decades were also the happiest time for the people in the country. a period of time."

Li Dayong said a few fair words for the policy shift at that time, but he still took a critical attitude towards it on the whole, even though he himself was actually a beneficiary to some extent.

And the changes in the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Flowers during that time also fully proved Li Dayong's opinion:
The Kingdom of Flowers first withdrew from the New World and the Windless Belt, and then even the countries in the West Sea switched to the World Government one after another. In the end, only those countries and regions that were closer to each other remained and regarded the Kingdom of Flowers as the official kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty. Shuo, all previous efforts have been wasted.

However, from the fact that O'Hara and Adam Island are also among the latter, it can be seen that even the former dynasty, which has weakened a lot, is much stronger than the current Kingdom of Flowers.

The decline of the Kingdom of Flowers naturally made the World Government, which was still brooding over the failure of the year, a little ready to move. However, the painful price paid after the "Eight Dragon Rebellion" was still vivid in their minds, and they still did not dare to do anything after all.

Even after the "prosperity" of the Kingdom of Flowers passed, the world government fell into chaos due to the usurpation of the throne by powerful officials, the world government did not directly take advantage of the fire, and even sent the navy to help maintain peace and control the intensity of the war.

At first glance, the World Government and the Tianlong people behind it seem like they have completely rehabilitated themselves, but Mousse guessed what they were thinking when he heard it:

"This is not a good intention. They are afraid that the country of flowers will continue to be in war for a long time, and then a bunch of fierce people will come out and it will be difficult to deal with it. By the way, it is a gesture to improve the previous bad relationship and the image of villains among the people. It will kill two birds with one stone."

"Engong, you really hit the nail on the head."

Li Dayong immediately gave a thumbs up when he heard the words, and praised Mousse's insight, and then his heart became more and more heavy:

"The world government's attitude towards our Country of Flowers is very subtle. It's not good to be too strong, too poor or too weak, and it's even worse to be too chaotic. It's better to barely maintain the regime half-dead, just like it is now."

"If the country of flowers is too strong, the West Sea will be out of the control of the world government, and even the windless belt, the new world, and even the territory of the North Sea will be unstable; but if it is too poor and too weak, internal and external troubles will break out, and the dynasty will inevitably change. , then the chaos of war cannot be avoided.”

Mousse is very clear about the truth, and he doesn't deny it.

However, when Li Dayong commented on history, he was still able to maintain a fair position. He pointed out that the world government had ulterior motives, and at the same time admitted that the navy's "peacekeeping" operations objectively shortened the duration of the war and saved at least several million flowers. lives of the people.

However, the "Later Dynasty" established after that was not completely defeated by force, and internal contradictions have not been fully resolved. Therefore, the authority of the court is far from being comparable to that of the "Former Dynasty", where it was once severely suppressed. Haoqiang's re-expansion has become the biggest problem in the Kingdom of Flowers.

Although this objectively ushered in another period of martial arts flourishing in the country of flowers, the peak period even almost completely solved the old enemy "evil ghost" family on the northern ice continent (actually connected to the loess continent). Things that were not possible even in the founding stage of the previous dynasty
However, due to the lack of military power of the imperial court, the "Later Dynasty" could only concentrate limited forces to control the core areas that could be controlled, and handed over the remote areas that could not be controlled to those families or sects and gangs with strong military power in a similar contracting manner. This is the "Jiedushi" system.

"Is this the Tang Dynasty?", Mousse had this idea immediately after hearing the word "Jiedushi". After talking about the history of the Kingdom of Flowers, he felt more like it.
"However, under the "Jiedushi" system, our country's folk martial arts has become more and more prosperous, but the royal family generally dare not take risks because of their golden branches and jade leaves. The characters in the court, and then the dynasty changed again, and then an emperor came up with a brilliant idea."

When Li Dayong said this, he couldn't help but resentfully slapped the big rock on which he was resting, making his hands red.
"He believes that it is possible to introduce strong men of foreign races from abroad to defend the royal family. These people have no foundation in our country, and their appearance and stature are very different. It is difficult to rebel without support. It is far more assured to use than domestic ones."

Mousse couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, he thought that this "back dynasty" was very similar to the Tang Dynasty in history, and it was even more similar when he heard this, but according to Li Dayong's introduction, this "front dynasty" plus " How come the "Later Dynasty" has four to five hundred years, shouldn't it directly enter the "reprint of the Qing Dynasty" later?
"Actually, if we only followed the emperor's original intention and only introduced races with obvious differences in appearance, such as the long-handed and long-footed races from the great route, then the tragedy that followed might not have happened."

"However, after the later emperors discovered that these 'barbarians' were very easy to use, they also made up their minds about the 'evil ghosts' on the northern ice continent who have always been our country's old enemy. The captured evil spirits were hired by the imperial court and tried to use them for their own use."

"Originally, although the bitter cold on the Ice Continent can sharpen the physique and mind, and make the 'Evil Ghost' clan emerge in large numbers, but because of the harsh environment, their population has always been pitifully small, and it is almost impossible for them to have such extreme Even in a relatively weak period, our country can still keep them away from the north of the Gobi.”

"However, because of the wrong policy of the later dynasty, the 'evil ghost' clan obtained sufficient food, and the population continued to multiply. Although the environment improved after coming to our country, after all, the base was large, and they were trained and cultivated by our country. It’s Ye Luzi’s speculation, and there is no shortage of actual combat opportunities as a mercenary for a long time, and there are still many more strong people than their compatriots in their hometown.”

"But the imperial court did not dismantle them for the sake of convenience, and still allowed them to maintain the original tribal structure. As a result, after the turmoil broke out again, the clan of 'evil ghosts' who fought side by side in a group faced off against the martial arts heroes who fought independently. imagine"

"Why is it changed to Wuhuhuanhua again?" After a while of silence, Mousse asked Li Dayong if these people established the current dynasty later, but Li Dayong shook his head unexpectedly.

Because the "evil ghosts" are extremely vicious and only know how to destroy and don't care about construction. After a long time, even the "foreign barbarians" such as the long-handed and long-footed tribes who fought side by side with them before realized that there is no future for following these humanoid beasts and jumped back one after another. In the end, the rise of the "evil ghost" family was only a flash in the pan.
