"Hahaha, hahaha!"

William's body was trembling, and he felt infinite joy in his heart, so it was, so it was, why should he be so afraid of the evil dragon William, is he afraid of his strength, and afraid of the army he has, but is the evil dragon William really that powerful?

The reason why the Dragon Emperor's army was able to defeat the armies of the Six Kingdoms was because the Dragon Emperor was more virtuous than the kings of the Six Kingdoms, the ministers were more capable, and the soldiers were stronger?

No, because the Dragon Emperor's country has many people, and the Six Kingdoms have few people.

It may sound so incredible, but it is indeed one of the truths of war, that is, the total war of a country, the maximum mobilization of the real number of people involved.

In the feudal era, the country belonged to the king and the great nobles, whether it was victory or defeat, it was just a matter for the people to be the nobles and the kings, even if they ceded the land and paid compensation, they were just a new ruler, the former is no different from the latter.

The Qin State, which implements Legalist thought, although it is also ruled by the Qin kings and nobles, but the strict policy of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce makes the people of all countries act for the national policy of farming and warfare, and will not have extra energy to rebel and think, the whole country is a big military camp, and the people's upward channel is limited, but if in the foreign war, cut down the enemy and obtain the enemy's head, you can obtain meritorious service, improve your social status, and thus get promoted.

All the upward channels of the six countries other than the Qin State were monopolized by the nobles, and the lower classes could not be promoted even if they worked hard, so the victory of the Qin State was essentially that the Qin State pulled its own people to tie up the chariot of war to fight the kings and nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

The Qin people were able to gain from wars, and at the same time, the strategy of farming and warfare limited the Qin people to gain only by fighting, and the Qin people had fewer ways for the people to improve their class status than the six countries that experienced developed cultural prosperity.

Therefore, civilization conquers barbarism, and once the unified dynasty is united, it will also face the dilemma of being overthrown by the more barbaric steppe peoples.

Because the nomads rely on the accumulation of material wealth from their own grazing, once there is a natural disaster, the ability to resist risks will be reduced, and the only way is to attack the Great Wall to rob, while the Qin Empire can not gain benefits from attacking the nomads, only various losses, so this is the reason why the Dragon Emperor wants to build the Great Wall.

The country is all unified, there is no war, the Legalist cultivation war to reduce the vitality of the society, the socio-economic way to maintain the country's military strength is no longer feasible, the ruler can no longer give benefits to the lower class people, so even if the Dragon Emperor is still alive, the Qin Empire's national glory may not be able to continue.

The productive forces determine the relations of production, and it is natural that everything can be guided by war when the world is conquered, and it is natural that after the world is conquered, it is necessary to rebuild the country and take economic construction as the center.

"It's really a fan of the authorities."

William shook his head, looking at Jackie Chan with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, the world after crossing is a medieval feudal society, so he is thinking about how to be a feudal king and how to defeat the evil dragon William, so his thinking is biased in an instant, if it is not for Jackie Chan to wake up, he will almost forget where his real advantage is.

What is the difference between ancient warfare and modern warfare, in William's view, it ultimately reflects two aspects, one is the technological innovation brought about by the progress of science and technology in weapons, the explosion of the atomic bomb made world war almost impossible, and at the same time, war is not limited to kings and nobles, but involves everyone, all aspects of society.

In the Homeric era of Greece, the Trojan prince Paris kidnapped the wife of the king of Sparta, Queen Helen, so that the kings and princes who had attended the wedding of the king of Sparta and swore in front of the gods to protect the marriage could not step down.

In the era of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, the war has gradually changed from kings, princes, nobles, and heroes as the main force of war to free people, whether it is Alexander the Great's conquest of the three ancient civilizations, obtaining the titles of son of Zeus, son of Amon (La), etc., he relied on the army composed of free people in his own country, and Julius Caesar's Roman legions were all composed of free people, Roman citizens, and foreign barbarians, they all had a common title, Romans.

Whether it was Alexander the Great, Caesar, Genghis Khan or Gustav, they only relied on the freedmen of their own country or other countries, and it was the nationalism of the Napoleonic Wars that really affected all strata of society, and the state did not belong to the emperor, nor to the king, nor to the nobles and clergy, but to everyone in the country.

Therefore, the rise of French nationalism and patriotism, so that Napoleon the Great once swept across Europe, it is precisely because the country is its own country, so in the life and death of the country, countless French people will stand up and actively fight, although the French militia army is the strongest in the protection of their own province hometown, to the provinces will shrink combat effectiveness, to foreign countries do not expect to have much combat effectiveness, but the strength of all the people of the whole country is used by the country.

During the First World War, men and women, adults and children from all walks of life contributed to the protracted war.

By the time of Jackie Chan, war has evolved from the confrontation between the army and the army to the confrontation between all the citizens of the whole country, and the war is not only on the battlefield, but also includes the confrontation in diplomacy, economy, propaganda and other aspects, from the land to the sea, from the sea to the sky, and from the sky to the universe, everything can be waged war.

It is precisely because there are too many things in the field of war, and the authority of the god of war is getting bigger and bigger, so that in later generations, there may be relatively controllable wars between small countries and small countries, and between large countries and small countries, but for big countries, a war is unaffordable for both sides, and this invisible war can only be carried out through public opinion warfare, diplomatic warfare, and economic warfare.

The superiority of the ruling constitution of the Qin Empire was also reflected in the feudal era, and at the same time, it also had troubles, because the machine of war could not continue to operate continuously and eternally, and once the Juche nation with a strong sense of belonging suffered heavy losses, then its rule would collapse.

The blood of the First World War was not cold, the Second World War was coming, and the people of the British Empire did not want to fight anymore, let alone fight for their status as a great power and the colonies all over the world, so they finally allowed the colonies to continue to become independent, which led to the disintegration of the British Empire.

The situation of the Dragon Emperor was the same, and later Chinese generally agreed that the Dragon Emperor was the emperor of the whole of China, but two thousand years ago, all the people of the Six Kingdoms believed that the Dragon Emperor was only the emperor of the Qin State, so there were later people from the Six Kingdoms who overthrew the Qin Empire.

The Dragon Emperor is not a template for success at all, but a negative teaching material for failure.

Then I should learn from Napoleon, the emperor of the people.

William thought to himself, Napoleon's reputation as emperor was also a dictatorship, and his successor, Napoleon III, was even more known as the "Socialist Emperor".

William realized in an instant.

Look at the "dads" of later generations, all the big capitalists have collectively laundered into the people's rich, 996 overtime is a blessing, and the promised stocks are to let the employees work overtime for the enterprise as the protagonist for free, I am not working hard for the capitalists, but for myself, and the capitalists will turn around and "input you to the society as a talent" when you can no longer work hard for the enterprise, and want to work overtime, so that you can directly experience what is the law of justice.

This is the true art of domination.

William looked at the "Complete Works of Marx" he bought from a nearby bookstore, and instantly realized that the ruling art of the Dragon Emperor and Julius Caesar was actually not very good.
