We are all companions, some are dead and some are alive.
In the end, Kondo Isao was still unable to balance a bowl of water. Ito Kamotaro was a companion, and those who died were also companions. Kondo Isao's life could only save one person, but could not save everyone.
"Teleport can only be used once in a lifetime." Duran said why it can only be used once in a lifetime, because a person only has one life and can only offset the damage to one teammate.
When Isao Kondo died for a companion, it was not fair to the other companions.
If you don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality, it would be bad to either save none or save them all, save only one and leave the others alone.
But Ito Kamotaro was so moved that he finally met his companion. He was wrong, a big mistake, and he shouldn't have listened to the nonsense of the Oni Soldiers. The True Sengumi is true love.
After this test, he was finally sure that his real companion was in the True Selection Team.
He had to protect his companions, so Ito Kamotaro instantly jumped back and prepared to fight side by side with the Shinsengumi against the Ghost Soldiers.
After he was pulled onto the train by Kondo Isao, he immediately sided with the Shinsengumi and swung his sword against the Ghost Soldiers. He repayed the Shinsengumi with his own death, and eventually he died in the rebellion.
The survivors of the Shinsengumi were also able to break out. The Ghost Soldiers failed to complete the mission of assassinating Isao Kondo. Although the Shinsengumi was weakened, it could not shake the power of the shogunate.
If the Shinsengumi weakens, other families will try to annex or replace the Shinsengumi.
Because the shogunate is a platform for several families, and the Shinsengumi is just the armed force of one family. If the Shinsengumi declines, there are other families that can replace it, and it will not have a big impact on the shogunate at all.
If several families fall out, this will be the real impact, and they will directly return to the Warring States Period. But it is obviously unlikely that they will fall out, mainly because each family cannot swallow others.
The real selection group is gone, there is still the reunion group.
Therefore, this incident did not help the great cause of the Ghost Soldiers in any way. It allowed the Shinsengumi to recognize its flaws and allowed the Kaimei group to further expand. It had no impact on the shogunate.
Before the ghost soldiers left, Duran said: "It's not the shogunate that needs the landlords, it's the landlords who need the shogunate. Even if the shogunate is changed to a parliament, it's just a change of soup without changing the medicine. Nothing will change."
Takasugi Shinsuke had no time to think about this at all, and now he just wanted to check whether the teacher was still alive.
Dulan felt that this matter was meaningless, and it could be said that there was no progress at all. Except for Ito Kamotaro who died contentedly, others were not very satisfied.
Even Duran was dissatisfied, because these people didn't know what they wanted. They said they wanted to fight against the corrupt shogunate, but they didn't know that the shogunate was just an altar for the landlord alliance, and it would be the same if it were replaced by the parliament. It did not say that the parliament was better than the shogunate.
advanced.
Looking at the entire country, there is no one who points out the real problem. Even if there are low-level samurai who are dissatisfied and want to resist, they just stare at the shogunate, thinking that overthrowing the shogunate will bring peace to the world, and they cannot provide a better plan.
"Fundamentally, the samurai are the biggest problem in this society, but the samurai cannot come up with a plan to replace the samurai. If the big family is overthrown, the samurai will become rootless duckweeds." Dulan thought that relying on the samurai was not going to work.
, the limitations of the samurai are too great.
It is simply a dream to rely on the samurai class to change this society.
"It's a pity that relying on the people is not feasible. After all, geopolitics is also a big problem." Dulan knew that in some places with poor geographical environment, the dual system would be implemented.
The so-called dual system means that a country's resources are unevenly distributed. Some places are rich in resources, and some places are extremely poor. In places with rich resources, there may be capitalism, but in poor places, it is still serfdom. The gap is very huge.
Sometimes it's not that the common people don't want to overthrow the samurai, but the question is what if they are killed? In this long and narrow country, there is only so much room for development, and if you rise to power, you may die even worse.
Although serfs don’t sound good, in places where resources are scarce, serfs are at least still alive. Therefore, serfs will not resist, but will defend their slave owners. Because although slave owners exploit them, if they really encounter a disaster, they still have to protect their slaves.
It is useless to overthrow the slave owners, because the land is still so barren. Even if the serfs take charge, they will quickly become new slave owners and continue to exploit others. This is for survival, not because of their evil nature.
In places where the land is barren, productivity is low and production relations are naturally backward. The economic base determines the superstructure.
For this country, the geographical environment is too poor, there is no agriculture, and there are no resources. What can the farmers do even if they overthrow the samurai? They may just fight each other.
Therefore, farmers only need to maintain their survival, and leave the fighting to the samurai.
After the peasants overthrew the samurai, they could only become samurai and could not become anything else. Because the resources did not allow them to upgrade the samurai into other things.
In places with better geographical conditions, scholars can become scholar-bureaucrats if they merge with nobles, and common people can become people if they merge with scholar-officials. But in a geographical environment without development, common people can't do anything if they merge with warriors, because there are only so many resources, and they will soon become people.
They will become warriors and common people again.
Because someone needs to fight to safeguard interests and ensure survival. Although the people are exploited by the warriors, at least they don't have to fight, so they have no motivation to replace the warriors.
Economics depends on politics, and politics depends on geography.
Duran knew that he could not expect too much from them, because they also had limitations. The geographical environment limited their development ceiling and limited their imagination.
Without development, they are in a cage. They can only protect the samurai, and the samurai can only protect the family. The family forms the shogunate or parliament, and it is difficult to make changes.
"But now we are in the age of the universe, and there are still dragon vein resources. It will not be good if this does not change." "The geographical environment has changed, there are dragon veins, there is the possibility of development, and it is possible for the common people to integrate the warriors.
But it is difficult for a samurai to come up with an idea that opposes him, just as it is impossible for a scholar-official to come up with an idea that will destroy him or her. It requires an external force, an external idea."
Duran said that the idiot prince's "love and peace" is not bad. Although he is an idiot, he would rather be eaten by a monster than to implement love and peace.
It would be great if both the common people and the warriors could accept it.
"With Dragon Vein, if there is no breakthrough, the country of warriors will never be able to control its own destiny." To control destiny is to find your own development direction, rather than always being a puppet of heaven and man.
At present, none of them have found a direction, not the common people, not the warriors, not the nobles. They maintain the original game and do not realize that dragon veins can change the geographical environment.
"Love and peace are very good, and the idiot prince is also an outsider monk who likes to recite sutras." Dulan knew that some words did not matter if he said them, but they still had to be said by outsiders before they would be effective. The same words have different effects when said by different people.
The idiot prince suddenly felt a chill on his back, thinking that his pet missed his scent? It was really cute. Although it had sharp teeth, sharp claws, strong strength, and sharp eyes, it was still a pet.
A cute alien monster, but he has a big appetite.
A fat man like the idiot prince can eat several of them in one bite.
It has to be said that he has never disappointed anyone when it comes to smuggling dangerous species. He refuses to change despite repeated admonitions and continues to smuggle invasive species from extraterrestrial planets to the earth. He never tires of it. Even if there is a risk of being eaten, he must implement love and peace and put all the invasive species into the world.
