Chapter 58: Deism

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The emperor of the First French Empire, Napoleon I, conquered almost all of Europe, and indeed once shocked the European continent, and it can even be said that it was a shock in history.

But the exiled Napoleon had long since lost power, and his time had passed.

Even if Napoleon is still alive, he is still an old man in his seventies, like a candle in the wind, how can he make the whole of Europe afraid of him?

Unless Napoleon is the kind of person who can do a thousand enemies and ten thousand enemies by himself, then the whole of Europe will be afraid of him.

That means that Napoleon is the kind of great master who is like a myth in the martial arts.

Grand Master, Grand Master......

Ji Aojian suddenly realized, isn't the strength of this British team also amazingly powerful?

Vincent was just an ordinary naval officer, and he had nine turns of blood. Hawkins doesn't look like a bishop either, and he also has seven turns of qi and blood. And the captain in front of him, although he is middle-aged, has a military momentum on his body that is even more compelling, and he is also a master of nine turns of qi and blood.

Although this British battleship came with the dual mission of prestige and spy, the officers assigned should all be elite forces. But these can be regarded as masters in Chinese martial arts, after all, they are just officers on a third-class battleship.

If the British battleships, each captain is a great master, even if they are just ordinary masters, there are more than hundreds of them.

I'm afraid that Shaolin Temple won't have so many masters, right?

And Britain, which had so many masters, was not able to conquer Europe, and formed a balance of power with other European powers, as it did historically. Shouldn't other European countries also have a large number of masters in the officer class?

If this was the knight era in the Middle Ages, and European officers were all masters of more than seven turns of qi and blood, Ji Aojian would still be able to accept it. After all, in that era, the knights wore heavy full-body armor to fight all year round, and the requirements for muscle strength were extremely high, and it was normal for everyone to be a foreign master.

But now that we have all reached the age of firearms and entered the industrial revolution, there are still so many of your masters, is this like a word?

Could it be that you Europeans have insisted on training their martial arts unremittingly, and have not relaxed for hundreds of years?

Ji Aojian pondered hard, is the force of this world too high, or should it be like this in history?

When I started to cross over, I thought that this was a typical martial arts world, and I was still wondering why the imperial court was not subverted by such a powerful martial arts, and why the grassroots government could still operate more effectively.

What is a big force, and what is a master is a big force. Since the imperial court is still a big force, it means that the imperial court is also a master.

Therefore, a descendant of the Black Tiger Gate like Wang Feihu, who is also a good player in the rivers and lakes, is only a hundred households in Daming Weili.

Take a look at the power composed of the masters in the Da Ming Wei system, and you will know how terrible it will be to convert them into martial arts forces.

The master is not in the people, the master is in the army.

He was rolling on the wall of the ship, while the captain and priest were talking about the anecdotes of Avalon.

According to Ji Aojian's understanding after hearing this, Avalon was originally a place of traditional martial arts in Europe, that is, a holy place where ancient martial arts masters gathered.

As early as before the Common Era, when the ancient Roman Empire and the European barbarians were in war, many martial arts masters born in the long-term fighting between the two sides began to escape from the world because they were tired of war. Avalon is one of the famous hidden places, where the masters gathered here gradually developed the pursuit of the innate realm in the exploration of the state of mind.

The local Druids of the British Isles believe in nature, pay attention to the unity of nature and man, and the philosophical realm is also similar to the congenital. People with innate Dao bodies can directly enter the Avalon cultivation, and it is easy to reach a higher realm, and slowly become the dominant force on the island. As a result, Avalon is said to be the realm of elves.

After having an innate master, as a gradually powerful martial arts force, Avalon also began to intervene in the secular world.

In the 5th and 6th centuries AD, Avalon helped King Arthur drive out the invaders and unify Britain. Soon after, Lancelot, also trained by Avalon, caused King Arthur's legacy to collapse.

This story sounds to Ji Aojian, as if it is a version of Shaolin Temple's "Thirteen Stick Monks Save the Tang King", the unfathomable land of martial arts sent masters to influence the changes in the current situation and guide the rise and fall of the dynasty.

"At the time of the Hundred Years' War, England was about to conquer France, and Avalon sent the Holy Maiden to France's aid and turned France's fortunes around. ”

The captain heard this for the first time and was immediately taken aback, "Joan of Arc came out of Avalon?"

"This is the only girl in history who can command a national army at the age of seventeen. She has such a great appeal, she has been the first to fight on the battlefield, and she has defeated so many powerful enemies, and these abilities did not fall from the sky. ”

Ji Aojian was naturally familiar with Joan of Arc's name, and sighed in his heart, this girl is only afraid that she can compare to my sisters.

The captain wondered, "Why did Avalon help the French?"

"The Avalon heritage comes from ancient Rome and Europe, and does not consider itself to belong to the British. They are the founders and promoters of the continental balance of power. ”

In fact, in the early Middle Ages, Avalon even had a lot of hostility towards the Angles, so he supported King Arthur to drive out the invaders.

By the late Middle Ages, Avalon had become more and more inclined to maintain the status quo, establishing the fundamental idea of maintaining the balance of power in Europe.

Britain wanted to take France, but Avalon was against it. The continental powers want to fight Britain, and Avalon will also oppose it.

When Britain later made it a national policy to maintain the balance of European powers, there was a real cooperation with Avalon.

Napoleon's attempt to unify Europe was naturally out of Avalon's eyes.

Avalon did not believe in God historically, and after the whole of medieval Europe became Christendom, Avalon was not allowed to be allowed by the Roman Catholic Church or the royal families.

However, after the Protestant movement in the sixteenth century, the Roman Church lost its monopoly on the interpretation of doctrines, and the new churches in various countries surged up, constantly adapting to the new changes of the times.

It is theoretically feasible for any group of people to organize themselves, explain the doctrine themselves, and declare the formation of a Protestantism.

Avalon professed deism, which was vaguely regarded as a Protestant religion of Christianity.

Deism theoretically acknowledges that God created the universe and rules, but after that God no longer has an influence on the development of the world.

In other words, God left after the creation of the world, and there was nothing left for him.

Great scientists' beliefs and views on God are often close to deism, and Newton said that God is the first impulse. After the first push, the whole universe continues to function according to the theory of mechanics, and there is no need for God's place.

Now Avalon's concept of balance of power is not only in tune with the British, but the royal families on the European continent, forced to breathe by ziyouism and nationalism, are also extremely welcoming to Avalon.

Ji Aojian muttered in his heart, how does this Avalon's idea feel like ecological protection of human society, this kind of social environmentalism is simply reactionary in the face of the trend of the times.

Even if everyone in Avalon is an innate Dao body, and everyone is a grandmaster, what's the use of only focusing on the level of the political situation?

The industrial revolution in this world has begun, and the productive forces at the bottom are booming, which is a mighty and irrepressible trend. The great development of the economy will inevitably lead to changes in the political system and social outlook, and the whole world cannot escape it.

My feudal dynasty in Greater China is coming to an end, and these small European royal families can live for another 500 years?

At this time, I heard the captain say, "Father, I am always a little uneasy about sailing in the dark, and I want to go to the deck to have a look." When we get out of the Yangtze River estuary, there will be no problem. ”

Hawkins nodded, "Captain, you can go with confidence." I will always take care of this holy woman, and I will never leave it. ”

The captain left and closed the hatch, and Hawkins sat on the chair and looked at Ji Lingxing very carefully.

Seeing that he was facing away from him, Ji Aojian's heart moved, and he put his hand on the glass of the window and made various gestures.

This hand covering the window will only cause a small change in light and shadow in the room, but for the little civet sister, it must be noticed.

Sure enough, the little civet's eyes showed joy.

Hawkins felt that something was wrong, although his back was to the window, and his mind was not enough to distinguish the faint changes in light and darkness, but as a clergyman, his mind was also very calm, and it was easy to detect abnormalities, and now he felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate.

He was about to stand up and check the room, but he heard Ji Lingxing suddenly scream, and he couldn't stop rolling in the cabin.

Hawkins was taken aback, and hurriedly approached to look, only to see the little girl like a cat, rolling on the ground and biting, full of meows, as if she was crazy.

The priest wondered, "Are you becoming a beast? But tonight is not a full moon night." ”
