Chapter 269: Let's elope
Considering the situation of Cyrus, Mousse sent him to the 100,000 mountains of the West Sea Flower Country, which had been completely controlled by the Sun and Moon Society, which had been rebuilt by Li Dayong.
The same ruler who distorted the values of the people in order to consolidate his rule, Hananomin, who had a tradition of rebellion since ancient times, chose another path completely opposite to the people of Tokushima in the past after they could not bear it anymore, and now with the leadership of Li Dayong, they have seen the dawn of victory.
Cyrus, whose mind has been distorted by the old Tokushima culture, came here, and the psychological impact can be imagined, just like "drinking from the head", and he can break free from the previous mental shackles as quickly as possible.
Seeing Cyrus's devastated appearance, Charlotte Armand did not change her mind and still decided to stay by his side.
Mousse, who had expected this, did not say anything to dissuade him, but only warned the third sister, who had also jumped from one extreme to the other, saying:
"Third sister, I am very happy that you can restrain the bloodthirsty desires brought about by the nature of the race, but because the knife will hurt people, it will not be sealed, it is just an escape. Hopefully, the next time I see you, you'll be able to fully control your power......"
"The sword should not be unsheathed without a good reason. But when you encounter someone who deserves to be killed, you don't have to show mercy, killing may not solve the problem, but it can solve the person who created the problem......"
Listening to Mousse's parting instructions, Charlotte Armand touched the handle of the white fish thoughtfully.
Having said that, Mousse is also afraid that the third sister will not be able to let go and suffer a big loss, and if she wants to accompany Cyrus to travel the world, the battle will definitely be indispensable, and she will inevitably encounter a strong enemy, not to mention anything else, the pursuit of the navy will be inevitable.
Because with Charlotte Armand's strength, the sudden appearance of the four seas is undoubtedly a violation of the peace treaty signed between the nations and the world government, and if the countries don't want the two sides to go to war again, they can only temporarily remove her from the family, and she will become an unprotected pirate again.
As for the false name of "elopement", in addition to looking like an elopement, Mousse also has the intention to help this sister, although Cyrus does not know what kind of changes will be made in the future, but his nature is there, and the girl does not hesitate to break with the family and follow him without a name, can he not be moved? Isn't there a basis for this relationship?
And more importantly, putting this label on hand in advance can promote the development of feelings in the right direction of the relationship between men and women, and avoid the embarrassment that Charlotte Armand has cultivated her feelings after many years of wandering with this old man, but people only treat her as a simple friend......
Since they have all come to the 100,000 Mountains, Mousse must want to meet Li Dayong, an old friend, but the latter is still very busy now, so he simply chatted with him about the current situation, and left without even eating a light meal.
Now Li Dayong has developed the Swamp Fruit ability to the limit, and even his originally weak body has stepped into the threshold of transcendence, with his now more and more powerful Seeing and Hearing Domineering and Devil Fruit ability, as long as it does not reach the A-level, that is, the first-class level mentioned by Mousse before, the enemy has almost no chance of winning.
Grain barb
And the 100,000 mountains, which were originally poor mountains and bad waters, were unexpectedly opened up hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land by them in just two years, and incredibly became a rich land of fish and rice, allowing Li Dayong to collect the hearts of the people of 100,000 mountains in just two years.
With the millions of fierce and warlike mountain people here, coupled with the countless people with lofty ideals who came to vote one after another, Li Dayong now actually has the strength to overthrow the rule of the Changshou royal family, but he seems to be completely obsessed with transforming the terrain and water, and has not rebelled for a long time, so that many people with lofty ideals have left in disappointment.
But he can't do this, the size of the country of flowers is too big for this world, and it accounts for more than half of the country in the West Sea, which leads to a very real problem:
As long as the country of flowers develops a little better, the country's rulers will stabilize the internal benefits will exceed the external expansion, the first generation of rulers have ambition and conscience, but after two or three generations, they only see the immediate interests, and their own ability is not good, and they are more afraid of rebellion below, so they will almost inevitably choose to brutally suppress internally, compromise and retreat externally, which is the so-called "internal cruelty and external cruelty".
And the country's development will also come to a standstill, and then with the population breeding, food is becoming more and more insufficient, internal contradictions intensify, sooner or later one day will be ruined, it is good luck to be able to smoothly change the dynasty, if bad luck, it is not surprising that three-quarters of the population will die in a long-term war, Li Dayong called it "the law of historical cycles".
Although Li Dayong has not yet thought of completely breaking this "historical cycle law" and allowing the country of flowers to continue to develop and progress, the hereditary monarchy that this country has used for thousands of years will definitely not be able to continue.
The first is that the temptation of the throne, which can theoretically be inherited for thousands of generations, is too great, and every monarch will suffer from "persecution paranoia", constantly fearing that there will be rebellion in the country, and even will not hesitate to weaken the country's potential and even the current national strength in order to stabilize his rule.
And the hereditary lineage does not guarantee that each generation of monarchs will be strong enough, and those who are not good themselves are even more afraid and go too far, and then the country is abolished......
However, the imperial system has been used for thousands of years in the country of flowers, and sudden change must be extremely resistant, and without a group of cadres who support this idea, even if Li Dayong reluctantly implements it, when he dies, or even just after old age and weakness, the imperial system is likely to be restored again.
And the same is true of the problem of the powerful and powerful in the same troublesome places as the imperial system, so Li Dayong can only use the gap between his own transformation of the terrain and water to search for and cultivate talents as much as possible, and build the core team, in his words, this is called "ten years of sharpening a sword".
Another advantage of this is that it can ensure that the starting team is more ideologically pure, so that the foundation of the new regime will be better at the beginning, and even if it will inevitably rot later, it will always rot more slowly.
"'Mess up as much of your own people as you make of the other person's as little as possible.'" It will indeed reduce resistance, but if even the initial core team is mixed, the regime is doomed to not last......"
Mousse deeply agreed with Li Dayong's remarks, as a traverser, he knew too well what the consequences would be if too many speculators were mixed in the revolutionary ranks, and compared with the speculators who had the means to actively or passively purge out, there were too many fellow travelers and too few comrades in the ranks, especially among the senior cadres, and it was even more dangerous in the long run......
