The fruit of the book of pirates

Chapter 199 Past events
And Li Dayong didn't know whether he was influenced by Mousse's intervention, and then explained the possible reason for the appearance of "more than eight hundred years":

"Emperor Taizu never forgot his hatred for the subjugation of the country. After he wiped out all the heroes in the country, he immediately launched a counterattack against the world government's territory while the three powerhouses were still in their prime."

"In just one year, the world government lost another general, [-] troops, and hundreds of ships, and was forced to completely withdraw from the West Sea."

"It may be because the losses were too great. Soon after, the conflicts within the World Government intensified and a civil war broke out. The winning side re-established a new World Government. This is the one you know, Mr. Benedict!"

Mousse couldn't help opening his mouth wide after hearing this, and couldn't close it for a while, "Is this so? Could it be that the 'blank 100 years' is not all about sealing the secrets of the huge kingdom, or is it covering up the shame of the fiasco that once collapsed, Are you afraid that other powerful countries will follow suit in the future?"

However, with Li Dayong's in-depth explanation, Mousse realized that although the world government was forced to reorganize after a disastrous defeat, to some extent it was a blessing in disguise.
Because it is precisely because of the lessons learned that after directly occupying the lands of various countries, they can only be passively beaten and finally dragged down alive after directly occupying the land of various countries. The reorganized world government has changed to the mode of indirect rule. The burden on the enemy is greatly reduced, and when necessary, forces can be concentrated against the powerful enemy who poses a challenge;

At the same time, because it only required to hand in the heavenly gold and no longer directly occupy it, the tax amount at that time was not as high as it is now. Many countries that were still stubbornly resisting before also changed their attitudes and joined the banner of the world government, making it more potential and stamina. (It is easier to attract strong and good seedlings to join);
After the rapid corruption of the occupying army, not only the combat power declined, but also the problem that the residents there became more and more dissatisfied and rose up to resist, which gave birth to the navy that now holds high the banner of "justice". If the army is not bad, the foundation of the world government is always firm;

Then came the stable rule of the world government for 800 years.
"Sure enough, the system is the key. If there are too many problems with the system, even ancient weapons will not be able to keep the regime."

Mousse gave such a comment in his mouth, but his heart became more and more convinced that his strategy against the world government could be successful:
"Although the system has improved now, the predicament of the world government is enough to prove my previous opinion: No matter how powerful the so-called 'national treasure' of the Tianlong people is, they still need enough human, financial and material resources to realize their rule of the world."

"Therefore, as long as the world government can continue to be severely damaged, the losses it suffers exceed the speed of recovery, and its political structure is difficult to maintain, no matter what the mystery of that 'national treasure' is, the world government will also fall into collapse!"

The more Mousse thought about it, the more excited he became, but Li Dayong's subsequent words gave him another wake-up call.
Due to the historical tradition of loving peace, and because the previous population loss was too large, although the kingdom of flowers flourished for a while after the restoration, it can only maintain superficial relations with the countries in the West Sea, and the actual territory has not expanded much.

It wasn't until ten years later that the Kingdom of Flowers, whose national strength had recovered a lot, sent the "Sea King" to go out to show their power, and finally persuaded many countries, ordering them to honestly entrust and pay tribute, and stopped flirting with the world government and stepping on two boats .

But on the way back to the fleet, a major event happened. In order to demonstrate to the newly reorganized world government and to find out the reality of the latter, the "Sea King" personally boarded the Red Earth Continent to visit the holy land of Mary Joa.
"Then news of his death came. The world government said that the surgery failed after a sudden illness, but the body was not even returned. The truth is still unknown."

Hearing this, Mussun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because he guessed the possible reason:
"Is it the 'National Treasure' of the Tianlong people? It was so difficult before. Once we arrived at the Holy Land Mariejoya, people disappeared. There is really a distance limit? Fortunately, I didn't let my mother go there, otherwise there might be no people left."

People in the Kingdom of Flowers don't know what "national treasure" Tianlong people have, but they are also aware of the great unknown danger of the Holy Land Mariejoa, and their attitude towards the world government has become cautious again.

You must know that although the martial arts of "Sea King" is not the head of the "Eight Dragons", his speed is the best in the world (here refers to the country of flowers), even if the world government has hidden superpowers, "Sea King" can't beat it. Should escape.

But in the end, not only the "Sea King" himself died there, but also the two juniors who were also very strong in the past also failed to return, and all of them died inexplicably.
Faced with such a result that is difficult to explain with common sense, even the decisive founder of the country did not dare to take risks easily. In the end, he had no choice but to shake hands with the new world government that gradually stabilized the situation.

Since then, the power of the Kingdom of Flowers has never been able to pass through the New World to reach the North Sea. In the next few years, after the "Swordsman" and even the Taizu himself of the previous dynasty died, the route from the Kingdom of Flowers to the New World You can only go to Wano country.
"I can't help it. The previous 'Eight Dragons Conjoint World' was born out of the long-term brutal war in the country 'raising Gu'. After peace is restored, there will be no such environment, and there may not be a strong man like that in a whole generation."

Li Dayong, who was already tired from walking, leaned on a big rock and said while panting.

"No matter how large the population is, it's still just a country. Especially when the four seas are not a great route, and the country is peaceful, it is already very powerful to have a super strong person."

Mousse replied with a smile, but the reasons for the retreat of the country of flowers are not limited to these.

"Although the Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty was not as good as his father, he still had some abilities. Moreover, there were many talented people in the royal family, and the population recovered a lot. On paper, the national power was even stronger than when the country was founded; but after the fourth generation, the entire There are no particularly powerful figures in the royal family, and the subsequent generations are not as good as the previous generation."

When Li Dayong said this, Mousse sighed unconsciously, because he guessed what happened afterwards:
"The limitations of the hereditary system cannot guarantee success from generation to generation, and the Kingdom of Flowers is large enough, even if the level is low, it can rely on its size advantage to protect itself, so the rulers with insufficient ability will cut their feet to fit their feet, weakening potential opponents in the country ability to secure their own dominion”

The actual situation is similar to Mousse's guess. Due to the over-strengthening of the control of civilian warriors, the development and promotion of martial arts is restricted, and the status of civil servants is raised to suppress military commanders and induce domestic talents to study. The dynasty gradually declined.
