Gintama and Katsura took the lead, and the Celestial Beings could not stop them. Although the Celestial Beings sent out all their elites and dispatched a real core fleet, and the combat effectiveness and quality of the soldiers were also extraordinary, the performance of the Earthlings was still remarkable.
"The Heavenly Daoists have been blocked again, and there seems to be something wrong with the earth."
"Indeed, I originally thought that the shogunate would not be able to withstand the offensive of the heavenly beings, but I didn't expect that it was blocked twice. Should we give some support to the earth? Let them continue to work and exert their efforts, holding back the heavenly beings, and we will be on our own planet.
Expand the territory and take the dragon vein as your own?"
The Tiandao people are indeed very good, and they have indeed brought benefits to everyone, but there is no eternal royal power, and there are no unchanging values. If the Tiandao people are not able to help, then everyone will definitely have ideas.
If the Heavenly Dao people spend a lot of military expenditures on the earth and fight for twenty or thirty years, then its decline is inevitable. Even some heavenly beings don't mind adding a little more difficulty to the Heavenly Dao people.
The reason for the rise of an order and a hegemony is because they are needed by everyone, and the reason for their decline is because this order has become a stumbling block to everyone's development.
Why are Zhou Rites so popular? Because everyone needs Zhou Rites to break through the Yin merchants' "black bird is ordered by heaven" and break through the Yin merchants' single family's right to speak. As long as Zhou Rites are implemented, everyone will be a Zhou person and will have room for development.
.
But with the development, although the status of the princes was still princes, their strength had surpassed that of the emperor, so the rituals and music collapsed. Because the existence of the emperor had become an obstacle to development, the reason why the emperor was not overthrown was because the princes could not propose anything.
A better system would rashly overthrow the emperor, and other princes would attack him.
Another example is the U.S. dollar system, which ensures everyone's interests. Petroleum countries exchange oil for U.S. dollars, and the U.S. dollar can buy things all over the world, which greatly reduces the trade costs of oil countries. The U.S. dollar is strong because it benefits the whole world.
The good thing is that countries with a lot of U.S. dollars in their hands have strong purchasing power. However, with development, the U.S. dollars continue to be drained and money is printed. People find that the U.S. dollars are worthless if they continue like this, so they will look for backup plans.
The establishment of order begins with protecting everyone's interests, and the collapse of etiquette begins with changes in strength.
The Heavenly Daoists cannot skip this rule. Their existence does protect everyone's interests, but many Heavenly beings have become stronger and want to get rid of the restrictions of the Heavenly Daoists. Of course, they do not necessarily want to overthrow the Heavenly Daoists, but
It is still possible to weaken the Heavenly Daoists and improve one's own status.
The weakening of Emperor Zhou also happened in several steps, with military defeat being the first step. Then the state of Chu was the first to stand up and claim the throne, not giving the emperor Zhou face, and the emperor of Zhou could not defeat the state of Chu. Then came the state of Zhou.
The emperor tried to reform, but failed.
Then the Emperor Zhou abolished his elders and established young ones, and tried to suppress the State of Shen. However, the State of Shen joined forces with Xirong to capture the capital, and he had to move eastward.
Then the emperor went to war with Zheng Guo and was shot and wounded in the war.
Then Duke Huan of Qi honored the king and fought against the barbarians. In the past, the emperor of Zhou convened the princes for a meeting, but now the princes themselves could skip the emperor's meeting, and the emperor was further weakened.
The process lasted for hundreds of years. The reason why no princes overthrew the emperor and Qi Huangong had to borrow the name of the emperor to dominate was simply because they did not come up with a method that could completely replace the Zhou rites.
Zhou Li ensures everyone's interests. Once Zhou Li is replaced, how can the interests of others be ensured? This is a question that no single prince can answer.
Just like the hegemony of the American sword, in the era when the American sword is strong, many countries have a lot of beautiful swords in their hands. When the American sword declines, why does no one raise their arms to raise their arms? It is very simple. It is easy to raise their arms, but in the hands of others
What should I do if the U.S. dollar becomes a dollar? It is easy to oppose the U.S. dollar, but others will not want the U.S. dollar to become a blank piece of paper, so they will oppose "against the U.S. dollar."
The same is true for princes facing the emperor. It is easy to oppose Zhou Rites, but the interests of others are based on Zhou Rites. If a prince overthrows the emperor and breaks Zhou Rites, how can the interests of other countries be ensured? If he cannot ensure the interests of everyone
, everyone would rather be conservative and protect Zhou Li than support him in overthrowing Zhou Li.
The same is true for the U.S. sword. As long as everyone has a U.S. sword in their hands, they will not want the U.S. sword to decline. Only when the U.S. imperialists continue to print money and the U.S. sword continues to depreciate, can they themselves go to the U.S. sword. Just being anti-U.S. sword is useless.
, because it is impossible for any country to bear the losses of countries around the world that hold U.S. knives.
The emperor continues to decline, and the beautiful sword continues to decline. This is difficult to reverse. Even if Confucius shouted to restrain himself and restore etiquette, it would be useless.
A single prince cannot ensure the interests of the whole world, and a single country cannot bear the power of the whole world. However, as the emperor and the sword continue to weaken, everyone will naturally change their ways and find another way out.
The same is true for the Heavenly Dao people. Once they begin to decline, everyone will naturally look for plan B, and they will not share the prosperity and loss of the Heavenly Dao people.
"It's okay to support the Heavenly Daoists. We can use 30% of our power, but if this 30% of our power does not defeat the Earth, then I'm sorry, we can only worry about our own survival first." Heavenly beings are not all ungrateful people, but they have their own considerations.
, can support the Tiandao people, but they will not go all out and can only use a little strength to help. If there is no way to change the outcome, they can only take care of themselves first.
"That's right, if the Heavenly Dao people and the earth are in a stalemate, then we definitely can't hang ourselves on a tree. We also have our own survival, and we must also consider our own support rate. If our people can't eat, then they must first
Overthrow us, how can we support the Heavenly Daoists if we fall?"
You can support it, but you can only support it a little. This is not ungratefulness, but a realistic problem.
The decline of the Heavenly Dao Sect began on the earth. The three fleets could have captured any planet, but in the end they were defeated on the earth and were completely destroyed by the earth again.
Everyone couldn't help but think that the people of heaven were no longer what they used to be.
Of course, the Tiandao people still protect everyone's interests now. Even if there are some ambitious civilizations that want to weaken the Tiandao people and promote themselves, they will just quietly sell war materials to the earth.
The Western Zhou Dynasty became the Eastern Zhou Dynasty because the State of Shen colluded with Xirong to cooperate with the outside world. Now there are heavenly beings who are willing to play the role of the State of Shen and collude with the barbarians of the earth to weaken the emperor.
At the same time, there is also a heavenly being who is willing to be Duke Huan of Qi and lead everyone to form an alliance instead of the heavenly Daoists.
Because the Heavenly Dao people were deflated, all kinds of discordant voices emerged.
"The world is really different." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the civilization of heaven and man is making choices that are beneficial to them.
Some continue to support the Tiandao people because their interests are based on the rules of the Tiandao people. There are also those who collude with outsiders, and some want to replace the Tiandao people.
"It's too much to bully others. Even before the Tiandao people are dead, they have started to look for a way out. Do you really think we can't take the earth?" The Tiandao people were very angry.
This is the first time in hundreds of years that they have encountered such a situation, because a rebellious planet caused changes in all parties. In the past, they could easily win no matter what the resistance was, but this time they failed twice in a row, and the four fleets collapsed.
The damage caused them to lose face.
"It seems that the only option is to destroy the Earth. Before, we just wanted to defeat them and make the people on Earth surrender. But now it seems that we are too soft-hearted, and we should directly destroy the Earth from the beginning."
"That's right, we can't let the situation get worse anymore, we must destroy the earth."
"Detonate the dragon veins." The Tiandao people wanted to turn the earth into history and defend their status, but they were already furious.
After the second victory, the heavenly beings gave the earthlings a lot of weapons so that humans could continue their efforts. They paid for the earth to send people to weaken the heavenly beings together.
The earth has become a pawn in the game between heaven and man.
