Chapter 34: The Shogunate
In ancient China and Japan, the people were divided into four classes: scholars, farmers, and businessmen, the difference is that the Chinese "scholars" were scholars, who were filled with Confucianism in their bones and had no power to tie the chicken, while the Japanese "scholars" were samurai, who occasionally recited poetry and made music but were not afraid of death most of the time. If the people at the bottom of China want to break through the hierarchical barrier, they must pass the imperial examination; If the people at the bottom of Japan want to achieve the same goal, they can only work hard to win the war merit.
This is the most fundamental point of divergence between China and Japan. Because the "scholars" are the highest class of the country, the group of "scholars" promotes the continuous maturity and even finalization of the state system. China has always been a feudal centralized system with imperial supremacy, while Japan has a shogunate system headed by a shogun. One pursues peace, the other pursues war; In modern times, both have learned the hard way from their pursuits.
From 1185 to 1867, Japan experienced three shogunate periods: the Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate, and the Tokugawa shogunate. The essence of shogunate politics was samurai politics, and the country was governed by military affairs. The head of the shogunate was called the Great Shogun of Zhengyi, which was formally authorized by the emperor, but in fact it was the supreme power of the state, quite similar to Cao Cao's "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

"War? Let me have a good time with the sword soldiers. β
Qingyi's words seem reckless, but they are actually well thought out.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When the five Necromantic Kings gather together in the "Eternal Destination......
"O eternal...... What is eternity? That's the vertex. To stand at the apex of the world, to stand at the apex of this plane, to stand at the apex of all intelligent life. In order to reach this height, you need to do everything you can to conquer it. I don't have the energy to participate in the game of you young people. This world is yours. The voice of the Eternal Emperor has always been very soft, even when he "slightly punished" Xue Duo, it was quite gentle, but this sentence was very heavy, as if it was going to be engraved on everyone's cerebral cortex.
Several necromantic kings present exchanged glances, and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence: when the system launched the conflict between the living player and the necromantic player, it did not forget to provoke a few times and let the necromantic player come to the nest. It is conceivable that if the Necromantic Kings strive to expand their territory, they will inevitably have conflicts due to border issues in the end; If it causes a war, it will involve more than 90% of the necromantic players in this big dispute, and the impact on the world's servers will not be at all.
Yes, the system can't force people to fight, but it can make rules and promulgate some new policies to encourage people to fight. If two necromantic kings are at war, and the victorious guy can get more resources, more NPC subordinates, and more troops, then the militant "Huaxia" sword soldier Wuji will lead a large army to kick off the war. As long as these rules are properly formulated, profit-seeking players can be blind and fanatical to do whatever the game company wants them to do. Well, sometimes it's so simple.
Therefore, when the Necromantic Kings looked at others, they had secretly divided them into two camps: enemies and friends. Qingyi nodded to the sword soldier Wuji, and the other party smiled heartily, blinking at Qingyi, everything was silent.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Necromantic creatures do not have a "lifespan", and without the interference of external forces, the Necromantic Empire will only grow and never weaken. Under this trend, the borders of each Necronomicon Empire will expand indefinitely until they reach the frontier of another Necromantic Empire. How to get the maximum territory in a limited time is what the Eternal Emperor called "the game of young people".
Game?
It's really easy to say.
At that time, the living players had not yet completed the task of recovering the country, and the only masters of the land were necromantic players, so at first, the proud necromantic kings thought that expanding the territory was a piece of cake. They skipped the steps of fighting the enemy creatures and began to think about allies and enemies, which was a plan for a rainy day. However, reality quickly gave them a punch in the face. The gods were humiliated by the performance of the "Doomsday Confrontation", so they accelerated the progress of the restoration mission, and the NPC regime returned to their homeland as soon as possible. At a time when everything is in ruins, the major forces that should have caused all kinds of disputes have maintained a high degree of unity, jointly suppressed the necromantic creatures, and did not allow the despicable to raise their heads.
Even the living beings can't compete, so why not compete with other necromantic kings?
Therefore, the Necromantic King must treat each other with sincerity and gather strength to break through the obstacles. All of your peers helped Qingyi because of this, and this choice was not emotional, but based on reasonβmutual assistance similar to trading. The current clash in the "Fuji" camp is an excellent opportunity. With the help of two Necromantic Kings, the advantage of Kazuki Ringo was immediately increased a lot.
As for why not help the sword soldiers? That's because the sword soldiers themselves have accepted their fate: under the joint efforts of the Heavenly Punishment Sword Immortal and the Divine Machine Military Division, all resistance is unplanned and futile. As long as these two great gods keep a wait-and-see view of Fengdu, the sword soldiers will always be suppressed. Qingyi couldn't afford to put himself in.
"Really?" Hanazuki Lin Yu gasped, this expression should really be drawn: "The two of you really want to go to the battlefield with me?" β
The White Bone Tyrant June Sunshine has long been a household name, and the ghost male sword soldier is also known to everyone, these two are too eye-catching, and the most taboo thing in the battlefield battle is eye-catching. It is no exaggeration to say that their foothold is the most dangerous place, and they can increase the threat of the enemy army by ten percent.
"It's fine. I'm still confident against the average player. Qingyi looked at Dao Bing Wuji: "Drag you into the water, no comment, right?" β
"It's fine!" Dao Bing Wuji pinched his throat and learned Qingyi's voice: "I still have confidence in dealing with watershed players!" β
Qingyi shrugged his shoulders at Kazuki Lin and made a "look" expression.
"Thank you."
Kazuki Ringo was not too polite, and immediately asked people to remove the screen and replace it with a huge map. She pointed to the blue area with a fan: "This is my current territory, and here, it is the battlefield. Her fan moved towards the middle of the continent, and there was a purple band.
Qingyi found that there were dense marks in the ribbon: "It seems to be a very important place." β
"It's the region." I didn't expect it to be the sword soldier who answered. He noticed the surprised gazes of the two, so he said angrily, "What are you doing? Can't Lao Tzu know more? β
The region has an excellent geographical environment, with a warm climate suitable for rice cultivation, and has been inhabited by humans since the Paleolithic period. It retains many cultural heritages of Japan from ancient times to modern times, and is the cradle of Japanese culture, and until the Edo period, it was the most developed, most densely populated, and richest region in Japan. Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi all got their wishes by entering Kyoto.
During the Edo period, although the political center shifted to Edo, Kyoto and Osaka continued to support the shogunate as economic, cultural, commercial, and technological capitals. In modern times, Kyoto played an important role in Japan's modernization as the stage of the Meiji Restoration, Kobe as the first port city, and Osaka as the largest industrial city. To this day, the main population of the region is concentrated in the area centered on Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe, so the area (area) is also called the Osaka metropolitan area, or the Keihan-Shinmito area.
In the Fuji continent of "Qiankun", this area is called Yuzhou, and it is said that this place was transformed by the fall of the jade of the gods. A little further beyond is the center of the continent, Mount Fuji, which is used by the living beings as a forward base to constantly attack the defenses of the necromancy.
"At present, the water potential of the Santu River has been stopped by the Onmyoji, and we will not fight for the place where it has not flooded, but wherever the Santu River goes, I must take possession of it, which is also the duty of the Santu Hime." Kazuki Ringo said seriously.
This is obviously because I don't want to tear my face with the creatures! Is it more than enough to keep it, but not enough to be enterprising? β¦β¦ Qingyi replied: "So our strategic goal is phased?" I understand. Next, please tell us about our military strength. β
The military situation surprised the two kings. There are a lot of high-level combat power under the command of Kazuki Ringo, but there are very few high-level combat power that can be responsible for decision-making, which can be counted with a slap, and only one of them is a quasi-hero-level strength (it is the nephew of the feudal priest who abdicated to make Xian). Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Qingyi still couldn't help sighing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if there was no flooding of the Santu River, the country of Chaohua would have been defeated a long time ago, so what kind of counteroffensive can you talk about?
"Although it is a business development, it will not be like this!" Dao Bing Wuji hurriedly asked. He was born in the army and was passionate about war, so he had a good say in the subject. It stands to reason that necromantic creatures can become stronger in killing and plundering, dozens of hundreds of battles are fought, and small soldiers can be mixed into generals, how can no one be used today?
"Because I don't trust the warriors." Kazuki Ringo replied that the subtext of this sentence was "I cleaned up all the threatening warriors". She looked at the ghost male and sighed, "As a woman, I am indeed not as bold as the Sword Soldier. β
Qingyi knows that this is, and whether he has courage or not has nothing to do with gender at all.
The swords and soldiers are unscrupulous and self-reliant, and they are not afraid of their subordinates supporting the troops and respecting themselves, so Dashu governs the country loosely. On the contrary, Hanazuki Ringo carefully took all power into his own hands, both as the nominal head and the de facto ruler of the country, and would never repeat the mistakes of Japan's previous emperors. She retains the fine traditions of samurai politics, but does not allow anyone who is self-respecting to be above her.
Of course, the governing strategies of different kings are different, and it is not said who is right and who is wrong, but only who is more appropriate. From the mission of the establishment of the country of the Flower Moon Ringo, it can be seen that her means are to rather harm herself than stifle unexpected factors, so there is no shogunate in the development of the flower country. This strategy is a peaceful strategy in peacetime, but it is greatly disadvantageous in wartime. In the eyes of outsiders, the flooding of the Santu River is a great thing, but in the eyes of Santuhime, it is a responsibility that cannot be shirked, and the only way to solve it is war. Now looking at the sentence "I also hate war" in Hanazuki Ringo, you can see a deep meaning.
But fortunately, the guests who came to the Fuji continent were the two who knew how to fight the most among the current necromantic kings. Although these two sources of danger will provoke many unnecessary enemies, the advantages they bring to their own side will definitely offset the disadvantages caused by the increase in enemies, so Kazuki Ringo welcomes the two of them to join.
The three necromantic kings are about to reign in Yuzhou.
