Crossover in the Anime World

Belmode was also studying and thinking, and finally came to the conclusion that the island country had no soil for rebellion. No matter how much rebellion was carried out, the pattern of dividing the cake could not be changed. This is determined by the model of the island country. The model of dividing the cake has been tested for thousands of years. It is just a group of landowners fighting over each other.

As for culture, they have learned a lot about mainland culture, but the essence has not changed. It has always been a struggle between nobles and nobles, that is, the feudal system.

In fact, we cannot just say that the island country has a feudal system. There are more than 200 countries on the earth, and only one country has truly completed the great unification. The other countries have feudal systems, and the local governments are superior to the central government, rather than the central government directly controlling all local governments. Become a direct territory.

The county system has been implemented for two thousand years, which is unmatched by other countries. It is not easy to integrate all the land in a country.

The island country has a feudal system, so even if you rebel, it will be difficult to break through. Unless you really want to kill all the nobles and landowners, but this will require killing a lot of people, and even eight million is considered a small amount.

Therefore, Belmode believes that the most that can be achieved by stealing the country from an island country is becoming a great noble. Just like Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Warring States Period.

They can only be regarded as representatives of the Chinese ethnic group and the aristocratic leaders of the island country, but they are not the leader of a country. This is just like how King Wu of Zhou and his allies defeated the Yin Shang. The Zhou people had allies and enemies around them, and the Zhou people had to digest them all. But this is no simple matter.

A thief can become an alliance leader, but cannot become an emperor.

"It seems that you are indeed studying." Duran was very happy to hear Belmod's justified refusal. Sure enough, learning makes people progress.

"Of course I am studying and reading history, and I realize that feudalism is the choice of many countries. Ancient Rome tried to break feudalism, but failed in the end. So it is the normal state of the country to find an emperor and then form alliances with local princes. Even if we rebel, the most we can do is become the leader of a vassal alliance. I thought about it many times and finally came to this conclusion."

"Your conclusion is correct, but it is not impossible. As long as all eight million landowners are killed and the imperial examination system is completely used, it is not impossible to solve it." Dulan said that feudalism can be solved, as long as you dare to kill people. Then just graft the mainland's imperial system on it.

"Do you like science fiction works?" Dulan asked abruptly.

Belmode felt that sooner or later he would go crazy because the other party would always change the topic suddenly. "What do you mean?" Her train of thought could never keep up with Duran's.

"If you like science fiction works, especially Western science fiction works, you will find that many powerful cosmic forces are imperial systems. Why is this so? It is because the West is still a feudal system, and in their minds they actually have both good and bad ideas about the imperial system. A certain understanding. After all, ancient Rome tried an imperial system. The most powerful era of ancient Rome was an imperial system. However, when it declined, the emperors of the imperial system would protect themselves first and then the empire. This made Western countries very attached to the imperial system. fear."

Belmode thought of Nero, as a famous tyrant in the West, who was a negative example of the ancient Roman empire.

"Western countries are very aware of the advantages of the imperial system, which is that decrees can be implemented faster and national power can be maximized. But they believe that as long as the emperor is unjust, it will be a disaster. So they resist the imperial system, but they have to admit that the imperial system can make a Countries become powerful." Duran said: "Science fiction works prove that these countries cannot get out of feudalism."

Belmode thought that capitalizing assets was just a method used by princes, just like Guan Zhong's officialdom. Guan Zhong can govern mountains and seas, and Zhao, Chu and Qin can all learn from him. The princes defeated the king through asset capitalization, giving the nobles new ways to form alliances, but without the king, feudalism would still be feudal.

In the age of kings, territories were granted. In capitalism, what is sealed is capital. Big capital is the princes of capital. Of course, the enfeoffment of capital is not over yet, and it still guards a fig leaf called the country.

Therefore, people in the island country are very afraid of the eight million ghosts and gods, while Westerners are very afraid of big capital and conglomerates. The root cause is the fear of feudal nobles.

"You mean we are rebelling, and the way to break feudalism is to become emperor?" Belmod asked, does Duran want to be emperor?

If it really develops according to the historical context of feudalism and imperialism, if we want to break feudalism, we cannot rely on capitalization of assets, but on imperialism.

"Yes, the emperor is actually the inevitable direction of the development of the feudal system. It's just that the emperors of ancient Rome have never been able to break through the shackles of the first citizen and will always evolve into tyrants." The emperors of ancient Rome always formed an alliance between citizens and nobles. , unable to turn nobles, citizens, and free people into their own subjects.

In this regard, the Central Plains did a good job. Although the emperors in the Han Dynasty formed an alliance with the nobles, they also tried to select talents from the people through the imperial examination system. They also treated citizens and free people equally and governed the world with filial piety. Regardless of whether they are nobles, citizens, or free people, everyone has parents and everyone can be filial and honest. Of course, free people would definitely suffer when it was done, but overall filial piety did not distinguish between classes.

Ancient Rome only had a monotheistic religion. Although the nobility, citizens, and free people were unified within religion, the problem was that those who did not believe in religion could not be unified. You could not be a Roman if you did not believe in religion. Religion certainly does not have such universal value as filial piety.

From then on, the emperors of the Central Plains have been working hard in the direction of integration. Of course, when the emperor had to protect himself and the country, he would always protect himself first and become a coward. But every time there was a change of dynasty, or even a foreign invasion, as long as the emperor ascended the throne, they would continue the integration started by the Han Dynasty, that is, Sinicization.

The emperor would select citizens and freemen and suppress the nobility. Of course, this citizen may be a relative of the emperor's wife, and this free citizen may be a castrated eunuch, or an official selected through the imperial examination. The emperor had only one goal, which was to eliminate all local nobles and landowners and turn all the land in the country into the emperor's direct territory. He wanted to directly manage all the land.

The whole world belongs to the emperor's own family, and the officials who manage the country are domestic slaves. This was almost done in the Qing Dynasty. But after doing so, the emperor and the whole world were directly opposed.

If there are landlords, then the people will always be afraid of the landlords. Island countries are afraid of eight million ghosts and gods, and the West is afraid of big capital and conglomerates because there is a direct conflict of interest between landlords and the people.

When all the landowners are eliminated and all land becomes the private property of the emperor, then the evil done by the landlords will be the evil done by the emperor, which means that there will be a direct conflict between the emperor and the people. Therefore, the hatred for the landlords was directly transferred to the emperor. Whoever made this world the emperor's territory must bear all the responsibilities.

In short, the emperor aims to become the largest landowner, constantly devouring nobles and landowners, not only physically, but also culturally. From recognizing the legitimacy of the emperor, to the emperor dividing the nobility step by step, and then shuffling the cards by selecting talents step by step, disrupting the control of the nobility, and finally achieving the annexation of the country's land.

In the West, because the aristocrats mastered the method of capitalizing assets, they quickly expanded their wealth and defeated the emperor. Now that the emperor is gone, nobles from all over the country will definitely continue to be enfeoffed. The country has also become a necessary evil for the nobles to negotiate. The nobles want to do without the country so that they don't have to pay taxes. Unfortunately, this is unrealistic. The nobles also know that the state is necessary, because without the country, there would be no place for communication between nobles and nobles.

It can be seen that the suppression of merchants in the Central Plains was beneficial to the emperor. The emperor knew very well that asset capitalization could make people richer than the country. The emperor did not like this. Therefore, focusing on agriculture, suppressing business, and closing the country were in fact suppressing the rise of local capital.
