"As the warriors of the Dragon Martial Arts continue to study how to reduce the difficulty of martial arts training, the number of warriors is increasing. The more warriors there are, the more land they can occupy."
"At the beginning, because there was more land to develop and the difficulty was relatively low, although there was some friction between the various forces, they were relatively restrained, but..."
"However, after slowly opening up to the grassland in the north, bordering Beidi, to the swamps in the south, bordering the Nanman, to the plateau in the west, bordering Xibo, and to the seaside in the east, after being unable to expand further, the major cities
The conflicts between the forces finally intensified, and the war began."
"In the wars between various forces, the art of military formation was discovered, and vassal states were born."
"With the continuous improvement of the art of military formation, the way of military warfare finally took shape. In order to better adapt to the way of military warfare, various vassal states successively abolished slavery and replaced it with aristocracy."
"At this point, our human race has officially entered the age of princes from the slave age."
Speaking of this, Qin Xu paused, took a sip of tea, looked at Qin Yi and Qin Wei, and asked with a smile: "What do you think after hearing this?"
Qin Xu's eyes fell on Qin Wei first, and Qin Wei sighed and replied: "Uncle, although this is not the first time I have heard this history, every time I hear it, I feel my heart surge."
After a pause, Qin Wei continued in an passionate tone with a strong sense of pride: "Our Weishui Qin family also took shape during this period, established its own vassal state, and officially entered the stage of history. After thousands of years, it has not changed.
However, after several ups and downs, it continues to this day and is still prosperous."
It turns out that this actually contains the origin of their Weishui Qin clan.
While sighing, Qin Yi saw the young master's eyes turning to him, and Qin Yi replied thoughtfully: "Sir, from the young master's narration, I heard the weight of history, and even the greatness of the school."
"The birth and decline of a genre are also accompanied by the beginning and end of an era in our race."
"From the tribal era, the slave era, to the princes era, it's nothing better than this."
"Sir, I feel ashamed for my previous speculation. The devil's path is indeed not worthy of being among the five major schools."
Qin Xu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Reading history can help you clarify your aspirations."
"And for warriors, ambition is very important."
"Some people even put the importance of ambition above the roots and wisdom, believing that ambition is the most important factor that determines how far a warrior can go."
"And this is especially obvious after the birth of civil and military principles."
After Qin Xu sighed, he suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "By the way, aren't you complaining about the lack of coordination between the two of you? After I finish talking about the next school, I will teach you a secret method derived from the art of martial arts.
, can effectively improve the degree of cooperation between the two of you, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two.”
When Qin Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, but when he thought that he had learned several secret techniques before and failed to master them, his eyes couldn't help but dim again.
Qin Xu naturally saw Qin Wei's concerns at a glance, and couldn't help but smile and explain: "This secret method does not require high intelligence. Xiaowei, you can definitely learn it."
It should be said that although the art of military formation requires wisdom, the requirements are not too high.
After all, this is a method promoted on a large scale in the military.
Although Qin Yi really wanted to learn new secret techniques, he was more interested in the only school he was going to talk about that he didn't know yet.
Gu Zi
Qin Xu turned his head and glanced at Qin Yi. This child was naturally confident in learning secret techniques and had no worries about not being able to learn them.
Seeing the eagerness in Qin Yi's eyes for what he was going to say next, Qin Xu smiled and continued: "With the rise of martial arts and the arrival of the age of princes, wars gradually began to have rules."
"Before a war between vassal states, they would first issue a declaration of war, clarifying the location, number of people, etc., and then proceed to the war."
"In such a war, the main competition is the art of military formations. The competition is the general's commanding art. The competition is the proficiency of soldiers in military formations. In the final analysis, the competition is all about military skills."
I see.
After hearing this, Qin Yi understood why the young master just said that the vassal system is the most suitable for military affairs.
"With such rules, the princes and states competed on the level of martial arts, and the martial arts naturally ushered in its golden period of development."
"With such rules, the impact of war on the vassal states has been minimized, and the major vassal states have also ushered in a golden period of development. Both the population and the number of warriors have ushered in a new round of explosive growth."
"The strength of our human race has also ushered in an unprecedented improvement. For example, the vassal states in the north next to Beidi can prevent Beidi from looking south with just one country's power. The same is true for the vassal states in the south and west.
This period completely established our current territory."
At this point, Qin Xu's words changed, and he sighed and said: "Unfortunately, everything that flourishes must decline. Rules can be artificially set or broken."
"When the vassal states reached their peak period of development and reached their peak strength, for the survival of the vassal states, they had to start annexation."
"The vassal states no longer abide by the rules set before, and use all possible means of war to defeat other vassal states, eliminate their countries, and annex their populations and territories."
"In this era, the powerful power of martial arts has truly been revealed to the world."
"With the continuous annexation, the number of vassal states continued to decrease. In the end, only the five major vassal states of Qin, Jin, Chu, Qi and Yan remained."
"The five major vassal states restrained each other, and no one could destroy the other. They entered a brief period of peace."
"It was also during this period that the various vassal states realized that the way of military warfare had come to an end, and began to try breakthroughs in other aspects."
"Among them, Jin State was the first to make a breakthrough. It started with the formation of military formations and began to conduct more in-depth research on formations."
"With the in-depth study of formations, three branches have emerged: formations, elixirs and magic weapons."
Having said this, Qin Xu shook his head and said: "The Jin State was greedy and wanted to study these three directions at the same time, and the root of the disaster was planted at this time."
"Due to the breakthrough of the formation, Jin State became the most powerful country among the five countries and dominated for a while. However, after the initial explosive period of research was over, with the increase in investment and the decrease in research output, Jin State's
The national power begins to weaken. In order to end the trend of decline, they must integrate resources and can only focus on one force and abandon the other two."
"Among the three branches, which one should be abandoned and which one should be chosen became a choice that Jin had to face."
"In the process of the development of the Jin State, the three major branches have long been integrated into all aspects of the Jin State. The nobles of the Jin State and people from all walks of life have thus formed three forces with related interests. At this time, any one should be abandoned.
It would be a devastating blow to that force."
"At that time, the old king passed away and the new king was young. Under the instigation of the other four countries, civil strife broke out among the three major forces in Jin, disintegrating the Jin country and splitting it into the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han."
