The virtual world is vast and vast, as if it has no boundaries. No one knows the specific number of virtual worlds. Every moment, every minute and every second, virtual worlds are destroyed, and new virtual worlds are born.
Many virtual worlds were so powerful when they were first born that the Lord of the World could even display strength comparable to that of the Dao Lord within the world.
However, most of these virtual worlds rise and fall quickly, disappearing as quickly as they rise. The most typical ones are various entertainment worlds such as comics and movies that are popular around the world.
When Star Wars swept the world, the Star Wars series of virtual worlds was born in the virtual world. The strongest people in the world are no less competitive with Dao Lord. Even with the blessing of the endless power of faith from the earth, it seems that
Very powerful.
But what?
Flowers never last a hundred days, and soon after people started to have other hobbies, the Star Wars series lost its original tyrannical appearance.
As a result, the Lord of the World failed to find a big thick leg to hug him in time, and then he was divided among the major forces.
The same is true for the later Void Realm in the Lord of the Rings series. It's just that the Void Realm in the Demon Realm series was lucky, absorbed the lessons of its predecessors, was relatively low-key, and took refuge in a certain Taoist king early. Therefore, when the glory is no longer there, the Void Realm is still there.
, did not die directly.
The master of the virtual world in the Harry Potter series is undoubtedly Dumbledore, the White Devil. After all, the first-generation Dark Lord is his lover (male lover), and the second-generation Dark Lord is his student.
There is no one more suitable to be the Lord of the Void Realm than him.
Therefore, he chose to cooperate directly with the former world hegemon.
Although the country of gentlemen has long since declined, after all, he was once the leader!
Ever since Napoleon was eliminated by the Gentry Nation, the Gentleman Nation has basically been the big brother of the European countries, but this big brother's role is very unpleasant.
Maybe it's because of the innate disadvantages and the small land area, so the big brother's party in the country of gentlemen is very boring. It has never had the consciousness of the big brother and has always been a troublemaker.
Your leading brother doesn't look like a big brother. He can't take the younger brothers to eat meat and drink together, and he teases the second and beats the third every day. As time goes by, everyone will know that this leading brother is a bad guy.
Then the country of gentlemen was busy teasing other countries into fighting every day, scheming about this today and that tomorrow. So until he finally lost his position as the leader, few people stood up to speak for him.
However, although the leader of Gentleman Country is not very good and is not recognized by many countries, he has been the global hegemon for a long time, so there is more than one strong Dao Lord.
Even the Gentleman Country's power in the virtual world is much stronger than that of a weakling like the Song Dynasty.
That's why Old Man Deng surrendered directly to the Queen Mother. Who made the Queen Mother the boss of a country of gentlemen in the real world? Old Man Deng could only keep a low profile.
At this moment, St. George was sitting under a pavilion with a guy in white clothes and a sword at his waist in a certain virtual world, watching the sunset.
"George, you are not the reincarnation of an old monster from the virtual world. You are an out-and-out aboriginal from the ancestral planet. You led the people of the thirteen states to resist the overlord at that time. You led the local army and fought for hundreds of miles. It took several years to finally achieve victory.
The later Thirteen States Kingdom was established."
"After the founding of the country, you did not choose to be the king yourself. Instead, you abdicated. From then on, the position of the leading brother has become that of the worthy!"
"Although many people in future generations think that this is nothing more than this, it is nothing, but I know that from then on, your influence is not limited to the thirteen states, but to the whole world.
diffusion."
When the ancestral foundation of the Thirteen States was established in Washington, the mainstream in various countries around the world was not the so-called meritocracy. The position of the leader was basically hereditary!
At that time, the world's hegemonic gentleman country, the queen or king, although it was called a constitutional monarchy, in fact, the power in its hands was still astonishing!
At that time, the European countries were basically ruled by kings or grand dukes. Although the rules of inheritance in these countries were different from those in Bactria, queens and female grand duchess emerged in endlessly, and there were even cases of co-kings in many cases, but that
At that time, all the countries were basically kings and princes who governed the country.
At that time, Daxia was in the period of colonial rule, and a large number of common people were ruled by a small number of colonists. The leader of these colonists was the emperor Lao Tzu, who was also hereditary.
The father becomes the boss, and then passes it on to his son, and the son passes it on to his grandson, and the grandson passes it on to his son, and then his grandson, and so on from generation to generation.
At that time, in most countries, the world was in the hands of a small group of people who gave and received privately, relying on blood and passing it down from generation to generation.
Of course, it is not that there are no other countries without monarchs. There are also some, but they are all small countries, until the great beauty turned out later.
In fact, even during the First World War, in mainstream countries around the world, the king was still the king, and the grand duke acted as the face of the country and the leading brother.
At that time, the country of gentlemen was a monarchy, and the common country was also a monarchy. The old revolutionary areas were swinging back and forth between monarchy and non-monarchy. The monarchy was restored so many times!
But when the era has entered the 21st century, there are very few countries that still retain the monarchy. Even if it is a country of gentlemen, the old queen mother does not have much power on the surface.
The leading eldest brother changed from the private transfer of blood to the selection of talents. This is of course a long-term change. However, St. George took the initiative to give up the monarchy and chose to appoint talents.
In short, it is definitely one of the most important factors in the long history of the evolution of this system.
Many future generations only think this is normal from the perspective of the 21st century, because it is like this all over the world. Except for the Black Continent, there may be some chiefs who are still hereditary, but in most civilized places, the leader is not
It's hereditary by blood.
Of course, it does not mean that the leaders of each country at that time were all the most capable. Although they all selected talents, the definitions of what is worthy and what is capable are different in different countries.
In some countries, virtue refers to whether you have enough money!
Yes, it refers to whether you have enough connections!
In some countries, worthiness is your birth...
Although the selection of talents is not absolutely fair, the average quality of the leader selected by the selection of talents is definitely much higher than that of the emperor who relies on hereditary replacement.
"In addition, the land of Thirteen States continued to develop and grow, and it became a world hegemon. Now you are not inferior to overlords like Zhu Hongwu. In the entire virtual world, the hard power exceeds yours
Very few!"
Hearing this, Saint George drank the wine in his hand and poured himself another glass of wine. The man in white opposite him poured himself a cup of tea.
"You also said that there are still people who have surpassed me. Now I am only on par with Zhu Hongwu. Among the rulers, I am not the most outstanding."
Seeing St. George drinking wine by himself, the man in white didn't take it seriously. At the level of a Taoist, who is not extremely confident and egotistical?
Who can convince whom?
Even if it were him, he would just do his best and obey fate today. Even if it wasn't a matter of interest, he might not come over to have a drink.
"You want to surpass Zulong? Then you have to completely defeat Daxia. Since Zulong, centralization and unification have become the pursuit of every king in the past dynasties."
"Even in modern times, despite what Daxia keeps saying, those who don't know really think that Daxia's orthodoxy comes from abroad, from two great sages, but in essence it is still centralized power and unification. What is deep in the heart has never been
It hasn’t changed.”
"So, if you want to surpass Zulong, you must first prove that your system is better than centralization and unification! If you want to prove this, you must first defeat the current Daxia! Beat them again
They couldn't even lift their heads, and their backbones were broken after the beating."
"But even so, it cannot permanently prove that the system you created in the beautiful country is better than unification and centralization."
Upon hearing this, Saint George poured a cup of tea for the man in white and a glass of wine for himself, looking like he was listening attentively.
"Actually, it's not just Daxia. Since the Qin Dynasty, the rulers of all dynasties have basically been unified and centralized. Even those powerful ministers are like this."
"In addition, Daxia's ancient history was too glorious, so it's useless just to defeat Daxia. You have to destroy Daxia's history, and you have to tamper with the history books!"
"Otherwise, when the descendants of Bactria pick up history books and read the history of their country, they will feel a sense of pride deep in their hearts."
"After they read history, they will find that the Warring States period from the 16th century to the 19th century in Western countries was experienced by the Xia Dynasty as early as two thousand years ago. Such and such ideas in Western countries also existed long, long ago.
, Daxia has experienced it. A certain outstanding government decree of a certain Western country, and a certain minister of Daxia did this a long, long time ago."
"As long as history books are still there, Daxia's orthodoxy will still be there. As long as future generations read the history books and still have a little passion in their hearts, they will not be able to help but resist!"
"So, if you want to completely defeat the civilization of Daxia since the Qin Dynasty, you must not only defeat the contemporary Daxia and make them convinced, but also destroy Daxia's history books and deny Daxia from the source."
"Actually, you almost succeeded. A certain generation of people in Daxia, they deny everything in Daxia from the bottom of their hearts, and feel that all the traditions of Daxia are dross. Therefore, they do not learn from the various schools of thought, nor from Daxia.
Xia History.”
"They also don't know that all major historical events that have happened today can basically find their prototypes in the history books of Daxia. They don't even know that the relevant core of land finance that supported Daxia's rapid development for twenty years,
Even if they follow Shang Jun's book, they don't know the glorious deeds of the two movie-level Han emperors, Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, and they don't know..."
Hearing the words Shang Junshu, Saint George looked at the man in white in front of him, and then snorted: "Who doesn't know the five skills of controlling the people in Shang Junshu? From ancient times to the present, most rulers use
One people means that the people of the whole country must have unified management, unified thinking, and unified standards.
In the Han Dynasty, this would be called overthrowing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism!
From then on, the imperial court of the Han Dynasty completed the unified thinking.
As for how important it is to unify our thoughts, I can only say that everyone who has attended junior high school and history classes knows it. As small as a family, as large as a company, as large as a country, every citizen is important!
Weak people: When the country is strong but the people are weak, the way to govern the country depends on the weak people!
Tired people: Looking for trouble for the people, exhausted... Let the people be busy all day long, not so much time to think about other things, not so much time to think about something that is not available, so they should work hard and obey orders all day long.
Just follow the instructions!
The ruler said: This is not a deer, this is a horse.
Common people: Yes, yes, this is a horse!
The ruler said: This is not a horse, this is a deer!
The common people said: Yes, yes, this is a deer!
Insulting the people: On the one hand, it makes the people lose self-esteem and self-confidence; on the other hand, it encourages the people to report and expose each other, which means that the rulers artificially create conflicts, divide the people, and let the people fight against themselves, and they will never be able to unite to resist the rulers.
Poor people: In addition to daily necessities, they try every means to empty the pockets of ordinary people, so that they have to work hard to earn money. Do you want to stop moving forward? Want to rest? Impossible!
"If the five of them don't work, kill them!"
"Since you pioneered the Five Arts of Controlling the People, it has almost become a compulsory course for all rulers of Great Xia. If any ruler does not know how to master it, he is not a qualified ruler."
"In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism and Legalism were inseparable, and in the Tang Dynasty and after, although Legalism disappeared on the surface, at that time, Confucianism and Legalism were inseparable, and they were integrated into each other."
At that time, basically none of the Confucian scholars who truly believed in Confucian principles and principles could become high-ranking officials.
If you look at a Confucian scholar who has become a high-ranking official, and look at his behavior, you will find that there is nothing remotely like a Confucian scholar about this guy.
There are even some famous Confucian ministers who have gone down in history. If you approach them with Legalist ideas and Legalist style of doing things, you will magically discover: It seems like it!
This is the most embarrassing thing about Confucianism!
The principles recorded in the Four Books and Five Classics are really good. Confucius taught everyone to be a gentleman, which is also good!
But the problem is that most of the Jinshi masters in the imperial examination era, very few really regard Confucian classics as the guideline for life. Even among the Jinshi masters at that time, it cannot be said that there is not a single true gentleman, but it is indeed very rare!
"Today's Daxia... Hehe, hehe."
After laughing a few times, St. George drank a full glass of wine again: "So, what do you want to say when you come here this time?"
"I want to say that you are still far away from completely defeating centralization and unification. Even if this generation of Daxia descendants are useless and defeated by you, the older generation will come and continue to fight with you. Because
, this is yours first!”
After hearing Shang Jun's words, St. George's mood suddenly worsened: "Did Xiong Yan tell you that directly?"
"He is a man of great courage. If he loses again and again, he is willing to directly invite seniors from all walks of life to come."
"So, we seniors can't just do nothing, right."
St. George, who had always been calm, finally couldn't sit still. At this moment, he thought of a lot. He thought of the Emperors of Qin, Han, Wu, Tang, and Song Ancestors, as well as the scholars of the pre-Qin Dynasty and the wise ministers of the past generations.
Don't panic, because there's no point in panic!
Thinking of this, St. George looked at Shang Jun opposite him calmly again: "So, what do you want to say this time?"
"What we want to say is very simple, that is fairness! This time your decisive battle must be fair."
"But fairness is the greatest injustice to me!"
"It would be the greatest fairness to you if we don't take action!"
"Remember, George! You can cheat this time in the decisive battle. You can even suddenly regain the power of the Tao Lord during the decisive battle and sweep away all enemies. But what you have to face at that time will not be the contemporary Xiong.
Yan, Chu Xuan and the others, you are facing all the heroes of Xia since Qin!"
