Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 176
"Warriors withdraw from the stage of history? Don't even think about it. Warriors are a path of personal development, just like seeds. The more developed and rich material civilization is, the more fertile the soil for warriors will be, and the more developed warrior civilization will be. .”

"Huh? I thought you would say that as long as the aircraft, tanks and self-propelled artillery come out, warriors will withdraw from the stage of history."

"That's why I say you are a stick. On some planets, even in the interstellar era, warriors still control a huge amount of social resources. In some empires, warriors are still at the top."

"?"

"Take the civilization of the twentieth century as an example. If there suddenly appeared several exercises that can cultivate internal strength, they can make people strong, beautiful and moisturized, extremely powerful, energetic, increase life span, and eliminate diseases. Although it is a bit difficult to practice, It takes several years or even ten years to get started, but how many people do you think will practice this kind of technique?"

Zhou Huan didn't even want to answer this question, because the answer was too obvious.

Just look at how many people around the world exercise.

Running can hurt your knee joints, swimming can easily catch a cold, fitness costs money, and the exhaust fumes on the roadside can hurt people. When traveling around the world, you need to prepare insurance or money first... not to mention it will waste time, etc., but even so , how many people around the world are exercising every day.

At the same time, there is another very important point. Exercises such as running, swimming, rope skipping, etc. will not have obvious effects in a short time, and they can only maintain the body's function without deterioration in a long time. Simply put, these are almost non-progressive exercises. The method is completely inferior to that of true energy. As long as you practice, you can feel your internal strength increase again. The longer you practice, the more obvious the effect will be, and then you will become a superman step by step.

"How many people do you think will come to practice?"

Yes, how many people will there be?

You should ask how many people don’t practice?
There is a saying now that most fat people are poor, and thin people are rich because they have time to exercise and keep fit, and they control their diet. Then when all the people start practicing cultivation, the upper class and the middle class will have What kind of investment?

"At that time, at least [-]% of the world's people will be warriors, and [-]% of people will boast about their warriors. For example, it's like you are in college now. Except for the real super geniuses who can start from scratch, even the super rich The second generation or others must have a college diploma.

In that era, people who are not warriors will be despised by everyone. You are weak because you are lazy. If you are not a warrior, you can’t even enter the circle. Others spend an hour every day doing fitness (cultivation). What about your perseverance and persistence? ?

You don't have time?You can ask others to help you wash your marrow and loosen your tendons, you can ask others to help you increase your power, etc. If you don’t even have this, what, are you saying that your physique is not suitable for cultivation?Sorry, our company is one of the world's top [-] companies, and we don't need college students. If you are a genius, please go to the opposite company.

Once the seeds of warriors are sown, it is like ink falling into a cup, and it can no longer be separated from the progress of human civilization. Which regime can prohibit civilians from exercising (cultivation)? "

"Well, isn't this good?"

"Of course it's not good. With the passage of time, the differences between people will become bigger and bigger, and they will even become different populations. Zhou Huan, let me ask you again, the same creature, in the extremely cold and arid north and in the They thrive in the humid and hot south. Will their physical characteristics be the same after hundreds of thousands of years?"

"System, have you ever heard of giant pandas?"

"Pooh!"

The system turned off the light screen in contempt, and the conversation between the two ended.

"Although I don't regret what I did back then, was it right or wrong?"

Zhou Huan shook his head gently. This time, without Chen Yunying and Tang Yuniang, there was not much concern for him in this world.

Only the royal city is the most hidden, where thousands of people are hidden like a sea.

How can he live these ten years well, whether he is born in this world or enters it?
70 years ago.

After Chen Yunying ruled the world, the biggest problem of the Liang Empire appeared in front of her.

300 years of peace made the Central Plains overcrowded, and no matter how good the policy was, it was difficult to provide more land. Therefore, in the 11th year of her ascension to the throne, which was the third year after Zhou Huan's death, she made changes to the political system. A radical reform was carried out.At this time, the chaos in the world had just subsided, and the best soldiers and generals had not been wasted. She reached an agreement with the six sects and selected masters from each sect, plus the imperial guards, a total of 9000 people - this does not include the logistics troops, etc. The elite troops are composed entirely of martial arts masters.

Coupled with the 50 troops in the rear and the continuous flow of tens of millions of immigrants, all this was called the Westward Movement by later generations.

The westward movement has been going on for 30 years, opening up tens of millions of miles of territory. The 9000-strong cavalry has become the sharpest sword. The 50-strong army suppresses a land area that is more than five times the size of the Central Plains.

At the same time, a large-scale relocation operation began within the empire. Even though there were complaints from below, even though the death rate remained high, and even though there were countless criticisms from both the government and the public, Chen Yunying persisted. Her reason was simple.

The sacrifice of opening up a new land is a hundred times better than civil war?Although the construction is very difficult, it is pioneering with the support of the empire and building your own home!
The great relocation operation lasted for 20 years, and Chen Yunying's foreign war also lasted for 20 years.

It was a war called the Sword of Haotian by Westerners. Countless Western and extreme Western countries trembled under Chen Yunying's sword.No army can withstand Chen Yunying's army. The 9000-strong army explains what it means to defeat the mediocre with the elite, what it means to encircle and annihilate, encircle and mobile warfare...

The kings of the West were frightened three times a day, fearing that Chen Yunying's army would fall from the sky.

The farthest army arrived at the far western coast, and the reputation of the Sword God resounded throughout the world.

On the other side of the clouds and mountains, at the end of the sea and the sky, the Sword God finally felt a little tired. Less than half of the 9000-man team was left with veterans. Everyone wanted to go home, but the Sword God did not reach the sea in the end. Over there, go see what else is over there.

She was also homesick.

The army left the coast and began to retreat, retreating three thousand miles before meeting the army behind.

"My sword exists to expand territory, not to kill each other."

She passed the throne to her younger brother who was supervising the country, and never returned to the Central Plains in her life. She stayed in the west to suppress resistance in various places, and used iron means to build new territories for the empire.

The Westward Expansion Movement has always been a very controversial topic, not only because countless people died during the immigration, not only because many people died in the resistance in various places, but more importantly, such a large land, for the Central Plains , is too much trouble.

Those who are capable are kings. This is the rule set by Chen Yunying. The dragon sons and grandsons of the Chen family should not expect to be able to obtain fiefdoms by reincarnation. The kings of those lands are all warriors who have made meritorious deeds.

Under the circumstances at that time, only the enfeoffment system was the most suitable. This kind of meritocracy was simply treasonous in the eyes of the Central Plains court. Although Chen Yunying was the emperor of the previous generation, she had already abdicated. The current emperor is not her son or daughter, so why should he watch her suffer like this?

When Chen Yunying was alive, these discussions could only be said in private, but after Chen Yunying mysteriously disappeared, there were more and more conflicts between the Central Plains court and the separatist warlord dynasties in the north.

Although the business relationship allows both parties to maintain the most basic face now, everyone knows that they will break up sooner or later.

At this time, those countries in the West were revived again, and the armies they formed began to fight holy wars again and again. Although the martial arts and Qi they practiced came from the earliest Qi breathing method, it did not mean that they had no fighting ability.

The humiliation of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, the absorption of advanced culture, comprehensive learning from the East, etc., made the countries on both sides of the Ister River quickly become stronger.

A moment of civilizational transformation, when a system jumps from one system to another, will produce countless commendable talents.

This is the world now. The interior of the Central Plains is overcrowded. There are many small countries in the Hexi Corridor and further to the west. Various sects are prosperous. Chen Yunying has disappeared for 30 years.

After ordering a cup of tea, Zhou Huan drank quietly in Ruyi Tower, watching the people coming and going downstairs, and looking at the imperial capital, which was more prosperous than before.

But all the old friends are gone.
