Chapter 202: Wang Zhi's Rebellion (I)
Mousse frowned and nodded, and replied: "It means that people in the world only need to practice 'Ba Chong Boxing', and there is no need to learn other martial arts...... Actually, this is the right way, but ...... I see what you mean by that......"
Although the Bachong boxing sect defected to other races, it was helpful to abuse it, but the promotion of Bachong boxing won the strong support of the latter, which in turn forced other schools of boxing in China to make improvements and lower the threshold for practice.
Therefore, Li Dayong judged his merits and demerits separately, and gave a fair evaluation of the ancestor of Bachong Boxing and Bachong Boxing:
Although because the puppet dynasty later promulgated the so-called "Demon Eradication Order", it almost eliminated the possibility of the emergence of the top strong people at the bottom of the people, but only in terms of martial arts itself, the current boxing system of our country is far more conducive to popularization than before (although because most people do not have enough to eat, they do not have the physical strength to practice, and the local heroes have no motivation to promote, the actual popularity rate has decreased. As long as we can overthrow the puppet dynasty and set things right, our country will definitely be able to emerge more and stronger martial arts masters! ”
"In addition, it is true that the Bachong Fist Gate has been guarding the port for a long time, but the people of Li in the north have indeed been exempted from the old and difficult problem of 'evil ghosts' who have been harassing them in the south at every turn, and they can finally enjoy the peaceful years."
"Therefore, although the sin of Bachong Boxing is great, the contribution is also not small, and it cannot be killed with a single rod......"
After evaluating the Eight Chong Fist Gate, or the Eight Treasure Water Army, Li Dayong continued to explain the later historical changes of the Flower Country:
"After the Bachong Fist Gate defected to the puppet dynasty, there were soon heroes and gangs to follow suit, and the puppet dynasty met their requirements one by one, making them all become local emperors, and they did even more than the 'Hou Dynasty', so they flocked to it for a while."
When Mousse heard this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and secretly said that this model of decentralization will weaken the authority of the imperial court and the ability of national mobilization, but it is more attractive to talents than the centralized model.
The Mongols were able to conquer half of Eurasia with such a small population on the planet, in large part because of a similar system that was able to attract the world's elites and drive them to fight as hard as they could, and then in fact defeated the nations themselves in their own strength.
Unlike on Earth, where the effect is only significant when facing enemies who are not well organized and can bring their subordinates over when they defect, the high-end powerhouses in this world are themselves worth spending a lot of money to win over, so the effect is better.
However, this "puppet dynasty" is still more similar to the Manchu Qing after all, and their decentralization of power is essentially only an expedient measure taken to turn defeat into victory.
Thus, having completely conquered the country of flowers, at least superficially, the imperial court quickly set about cleaning up the feudal towns that had not been destroyed, but this inevitably led to the resurgence of many forces and the resurgence of the rebels who had been forced to go underground.
When Mousse heard this, he couldn't help but sigh again:
"Since the power is attributed to the individual, as long as these strong people are still there, even if the territory is temporarily gone, their threat will not decrease much, and it may even be because they have no concern and act without scruples, and the deterrent power has become greater......"
"Although there are also 'people who have lost their land, they have lost their land; If people lose land, people and land will survive. But because there must be enough people to have enough strength, and it cannot be separated from the support of the territory for a long time, it is impossible to allow the force to exist completely out of the territory like this world, and the difference between the two is still very large......"
Just when Mousse was thinking about this, Li Dayong inadvertently answered a mystery that he had remembered in his heart before:
In order to solve the internal troubles, the "puppet dynasty" that "the cub sells the field is not distressed" not only announced that it would abandon the honorific title of "emperor" (Note 1) and change it to "lord of the country", but also gave up the protection of O'Hara Island, a sacred place of learning, and surrendered it to the world government.
The latter, who was finally able to completely ban the study of the "Blank One Hundred Years", on the one hand, reciprocated the peach, and on the other hand, considering the inherent shortcomings of alien rule, and believing that it would be more beneficial for them to enter the country of flowers than the main nation of the country, they sent the main fleet led by the admiral to the country of flowers.
Moreover, this time, the world government did not even find an excuse for "competition and competition", and directly ordered the navy to participate in the attack of the "government army" of the country of flowers against the rebels.
But the world government, which has always been calculating others behind the scenes, was calculated this time by the second-generation monarch of the puppet dynasty who became more and more cunning as he got older:
Under its clever planning, the navy that participated in the battle was put in front of the last force of the rebels, and the leading admiral was killed, the leader of the rebels also fell, and the strong men of the long-handed clan waited until the battle was over before jumping out to pick peaches, and their core strength suffered almost no losses.
Seeing that the general trend has passed, the strongest remnant of the rebel army, who is also the military advisor of the rebel army, in order to keep the relatives of the leader, especially the heirs, accepted the recruitment of the puppet dynasty after the request to maintain the limited independence of the power was approved, which is the origin of the current "Nine Treasures Water Army......
"'Nine Treasure Water Army'?" When Mousse heard this word, he immediately remembered the "Eight Treasures + Two Treasures = Ten Treasures" complained by "Lao Cai" in the Tokushima chapter of "One Piece".
But this is just a complaint, according to Li Dayong's statement, there are only nine water thieves in the country of flowers who have been officially certified by the so-called "cheap slaves" imperial court and have the right to plunder freely within a certain range.
Then Mousse naturally became curious about the strength of the nine water armies, considering that the people of the Flower Country may not know about the outside bounty system, he took the green pepper that was blown by Karp as a reference, and asked how the strength of the other eight was compared to the Eight Treasure Water Army.
"Qingjiao should be the strongest person in our country before he was knocked down by Karp, after all, the three stronger than him were all dead at that time......"
After hearing this, Mousse naturally became more and more curious, and then he heard the name he had heard many times before - "Wang Zhi......
Note 1: The distorted notion that the "king" is more noble than the "emperor" in the world of pirates is actually the result of propaganda deliberately carried out by the world government in order to suppress the international status of the country of flowers, but this propaganda has not been effective until the monarch of the country of flowers himself renounces the title of "emperor". After all, the former country of flowers has been the world's largest power for a long time, and its international status is there, even the world government can't help it, which naturally makes its title of monarch full of weight......
