Chapter 199: The Past of the Past (I)

And Li Dayong didn't know if he was affected by Mousse's interjection, and then explained the possible reason for the "more than 800 years":

"Emperor Taizu has never forgotten the hatred of the country at the beginning, and after sweeping away the domestic heroes, he took advantage of the fact that the three powerhouses were still in their prime, and immediately launched a counterattack against the territory of the world government......

"In just one year, the world government lost another general, 70,000 troops, and hundreds of large and small ships, and was forced to completely withdraw from the Western Sea ......"

"It may be that the losses are too great, and soon the internal contradictions within the world government intensified and a civil war broke out, and the victorious side finally re-established a new world government, this is the one you know!"

Mousse couldn't help but open his mouth wide after hearing this, and he couldn't close it for a while, "Is this the case?" Could it be that the 'Blank One Hundred Years' is not all about sealing down the secrets of the great kingdom, or is it covering up the shame of a disastrous defeat that once collapsed, and is afraid that other powers will follow suit? ”

However, with Li Dayong's in-depth explanation, Mousse learned that although the world government was once so defeated that it was forced to reorganize, it was a blessing in disguise to some extent......

Having learned the lesson of the previous direct occupation of the lands of the countries, which had been burdened with huge burdens and could only be passively beaten and finally dragged down alive, the reorganized world government changed to a model of indirect rule, and although it became more and more reactionary, its own burden was greatly lightened, and if necessary, it was able to concentrate its forces on a strong enemy that posed a challenge;

At the same time, because they only demanded the payment of heavenly gold and no longer occupied it directly, and the tax amount at that time was not as high as it is now, many countries that were still stubbornly resisting before also changed their attitudes and joined the world government, making it more potential and stamina (it is easier to attract strong and good seedlings to join);

The rapid corruption of the occupying forces not only reduced their combat effectiveness, but also caused the people in the garrison to become more and more dissatisfied and rose up to resist, which gave birth to the navy that is now holding high the banner of "justice", and if the army is not rotten, the foundation of the world government will always be solid;

Then there was the 800-year-long solid rule of the world government......

"Sure enough, the system is the key, and if the system is too big, even ancient weapons will not be able to maintain power."

Mousse made this comment from his mouth, and he became more and more convinced in his heart that his strategy against the world government could succeed:

"Although the system has been improved now, the predicament of the world government is enough to prove my previous opinion: no matter how powerful the so-called 'national treasure' of the Tianlong people is, their rule over the world must still have enough manpower, financial and material resources to achieve it."

"Therefore, as long as the world government can continue to deal heavy blows, causing it to suffer losses more than it recovers, and making it difficult to maintain the structure of its regime, no matter what the mystery of that 'national treasure' is, the world government will also collapse!"

The more Mu Si thought about it, the more excited he became, but Li Dayong's words sounded the alarm for him again......

Due to the peace-loving historical tradition, and because of the fact that the population loss was too much before, although the country of flowers flourished for a while after the recovery, it could only maintain a superficial relationship with the countries of the West Sea, and the actual territory did not expand much.

It wasn't until ten years later, when the country of flowers had recovered a lot of its national strength, sent the "Sea King" to the sea to show its might, and finally convinced many countries to honestly entrust them to pay tribute, and no longer to fight with the world government and step on two boats.

However, on the way back of the fleet, there was a major incident, in order to demonstrate to the world government that had just completed the reorganization, and also had the intention to find out the truth of the latter, "Sea King" personally landed on the Red Earth Continent to visit the holy land of Mary Joy......

"Then came the news of his death, and the world government said that the operation failed after a sudden violent illness, but even the body was not returned, and the truth is still unknown......

Hearing this, Muston broke out in a cold sweat, because he guessed the possible reason:

"It's a 'national treasure' of the Tenryu people, right? It was so difficult before, but as soon as I arrived at the Holy Land Mary Joa, there were no people, and there was really a distance limit? It's good that I didn't let my mother go over at the beginning, otherwise there might be no one left......"

The people of the Flower Country didn't know what "national treasures" the Tenryu people had, but they also realized that the Holy Land Mary Joya was in unknown danger, and their attitude towards the world government became cautious again.

You must know that although the martial arts of the "Sea King" are not the first of the "Eight Dragons", his speed is the best in the world (here refers to the country of flowers), even if the world government still has a hidden super powerhouse, the "Sea King" should be able to escape if he can't beat it.

But as a result, not only did the "Sea King" himself die there, but even the two juniors who passed together with him who were also very good failed to return, and they all died in vain......

In the face of such a result that is difficult to explain with common sense, even the decisive founding Taizu did not dare to take risks easily, and in the end he could only reluctantly shake hands with the new world government that gradually stabilized the situation.

Since then, the forces of the Flower Country have never been able to pass through the New World directly to the North Sea, and when the "Sword Man" and even the former Dynasty Taizu himself died in the next few years, the route from the Flower Country to the New World can only end at the Wano Country......

"There's no way, the previous 'Eight Dragons and the World' was born out of the long-term brutal war and chaos in the country, and after the restoration of peace, there is no such environment, and there may not be a strong man like that in a whole generation......"

Li Dayong, who was already tired of walking, leaned against a big rock and said while panting.

"No matter how large the population is, it is only a country, especially if it is not a great voyage in the four seas, and the country is too peaceful, it is already very powerful to have a super-first-class powerhouse."

Mousse replied with a smile, but the reason why the country of flowers had fallen back in force was not only these.

"Although Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty was not as good as his father, he also had some skills, and there were many talents in the imperial family, and the population had recovered a lot, and the national strength on paper was even stronger than when the country was founded; But after the fourth generation, there are no particularly powerful figures in the entire royal family, and the next generation is not as good as the first generation......"

When Li Dayong said this, Mousse had already sighed unconsciously, because he guessed what happened afterward:

"The limitations of the hereditary system do not guarantee the emergence of people, and the country of flowers is large enough that even if the level is low, it can rely on the advantage of size to protect itself, so the incompetent rulers are cut to fit and weaken the ability of potential opponents in the country to stabilize their rule......"

The actual situation is similar to Mousse's speculation, due to the excessive tightening of the control of civilian warriors to limit the development and promotion of martial arts, coupled with the elevation of the status of civil officials and the suppression of military generals to induce domestic talents to study, the previous dynasty of the country of flowers gradually weakened......
