Chapter 2622 Wuyingqi's Biggest Secret!
"Interstellar civilization doesn't need a capital?"
This statement shattered the inherent concept in Li Yao's mind again, and opened a whole new door for him.
"That's right, in the ancient repair era, the means of communication and transportation were relatively backward, and the territory was not too large, so the ruler gathered most of the high-level and powerful people in one place to become the 'court' and the 'capital', yes The focus of politics, economy and military was quite reasonable at the time."
Wu Yingqi talked eloquently, "But today, the unified country of human civilization often has hundreds of worlds, with territories spanning millions of light-years, and relying on past political experience, they try to rule the entire region with one planet. Xinghai, wouldn't it be absurd to ask for a sword without a boat?
"Just look at today's Tianji Star - in order to rule the entire star sea, countless government agencies have been placed here one after another, resulting in a population explosion, overstaffed institutions, environmental pollution, and mutual interaction between various departments and forces. Restricted, completely lost as the 'brain' and 'heart' of the function.
"And when the nobles and tyrants in the distant borders of the empire had a heart of disobedience, the imperial capital was too far away to mobilize forces to restrain and suppress it in time, so that the four major electors and warlords from all walks of life swarmed up, making the empire Embark on the end of disintegration.
"What is the use of such an imperial capital?
"In fact, as early as the first step of human beings embarking on the journey of the Star Sea, the old governance methods should be completely abandoned, and a fixed capital should not be established at all. It's a pity that from the monster clan to the empire thousands of years ago, they didn't see this clearly. , so that it led to tragedies again and again.
"Let's talk about the biggest tragedy of ten thousand years ago, the collapse of the Star Sea Empire. At that time, the wise and mighty emperor also used Tianji Star as his capital, but he let his general, Blood God Son, command the strongest expeditionary army, and went to the depths of the Star Sea to crusade The remnants of the monster clan, in this way, the political power and military power of the Xinghai Empire are completely separated, and Tianjixing has no way to effectively command the expeditionary army millions of light years away. There are too many variables in the decades-long expedition. Even if the Blood God Son is the emperor's clone, rebellion is an inevitable result!
"If the emperor can see this clearly in time, refuse to use the Celestial Star as the capital, and instead relocate the entire set of government agencies of the Star Sea Empire to the expeditionary force, and use the expeditionary fleet as the 'moving capital'. How could the Blood God Son have a chance to rebel, and how could the Star Sea Empire collapse?"
Li Yao was fascinated by what he was listening to, and felt that what Wu Yingqi said made sense, and he couldn't refute it at all.
"In fact, countless people of insight throughout the ages have vaguely recognized this problem, and have made a certain degree of effort consciously or unconsciously."
Wu Yingqi continued, "From the Yaozu dynasty to our real human empire, many people in power will spend a lot of money to build some super-giant starry sky battle castles, and even hollow out an entire planet to transform it into a military fortress. What's the 'Death Star, Doom star, doom star, dark star', stuff like that.
"Actually, from a purely military point of view, this kind of big and useless super starry sky battle fort that puts all eggs in one basket has very low combat effectiveness, let alone nearly zero mobility. Once the enemy invades the interior, It's easy to get reimbursed all at once, so it's better to use a lot of their resources to build a fleet, or strengthen the armed forces on the surface of the planet!
"But even if the 'Death Star' of the previous dynasty did not perform well on the battlefield and was destroyed in an instant, the new dynasty will still build new 'Death Stars' again and again. What is the reason? Could it be that so many military experts and technology Experts are idiots, can't see the fatal flaws of these super-giant space battle fortresses?
"No, the point is not military, but politics. The purpose of spending huge sums of money to build these super starry sky battle castles is not to let them play a powerful role on the battlefield, but to continuously absorb a large number of local soldiers during the construction process. resources, weaken the power of local tyrants, and make local tyrants unable to resist the orders of the imperial court, so as to ensure the long-term stability of the unified empire.
"Of course, the local tyrants are well aware of the imperial court's calculations, so they use various channels to slander the role of super-giant starry sky battle castles, and even depict 'super death stars' in various literary works. 'The scene of being destroyed, mocking this kind of 'useless and superficial' weapon, in fact, just don't want to be blood sucked by the court with the excuse of 'building the Death Star'.
"In the past, the counterattacks of local tyrants have worked, and no empire has been able to carry out the strategy of weakening the locality to the end; besides, Tianjixing is a ready-made capital, too prosperous and convenient, and no emperor is willing to leave this colorful world. Start with zero.
"Thousands of years ago, I couldn't see through it, and I couldn't bear it, but today, I have clearly realized the ridiculousness of fixing the capital, and I have long decided to move the capital, and move the imperial capital from Tianji Star to a large-scale and powerful fleet. , turning the Empire into a 'Great Starship Civilization' in a sense.
"It's just that this is a big matter. There are too many interest groups entrenched in Tianji Star and they are too stubborn. Not only the four major elector families have a lot of interests here, but the reformers, including the Wuying family, are also deeply rooted here. I rashly throw them away. The motion to relocate the capital will definitely be opposed by countless people—it can’t be helped, Tianjixing has been the capital of human civilization for 40,000 to 50,000 years, those short-sighted and ruthless people have long been accustomed to this, and they can’t think of it at all. question.
"So, I'll just take the bottom line and destroy the Jitian Realm and the Tianji Star. In this way, all those chattering flies will shut up, and they won't be able to move the capital if they want to!
"Although there will be a small price to pay in the short term, in the long run, it will be of great benefit to ensuring the sustainable development of human civilization. As the saying goes, 'short-term pain is worse than long-term pain'!
"Sacrificing an extreme heaven, you can get a super fleet with extremely strong combat power, and everyone is loyal, honest and honest. Then I will move the entire court to this new fleet, which can be named 'The Imperial Fleet'.
"From now on, the fleet of the imperial capital will patrol the entire star sea on a regular basis. Whenever it goes to a great world, especially those controlled by powerful princes, it will use local resources to continuously strengthen the fleet and deal with local maladministration and corruption. , select local talents, and bring the best talents to the fleet. While strengthening the court, it also weakens the local area. This cycle goes on and on, and the entire empire can be patrolled every twenty or thirty years. In twenty or thirty years, even if The local tyrants have a heart of disobedience, and it is too late to develop new rebel forces. Even if corruption occurs at the grassroots level, it will not spread too severely, and it can be removed and treated immediately.
"In this way, not to mention thousands of years, even after ten thousand years, the empire will still be stable, clean and clean, clean and just, and never corrupt!
"And the size and combat effectiveness of the Imperial Capital Fleet, including the generation after generation of powerhouses living in the Imperial Capital Fleet, will become stronger and stronger, and they will continue to climb the peak of evolution. The fleet can then transform into a 'Great Cosmos Expeditionary Force' and rush out directly!
"Li Aiqing, what do you think of the future picture I have drawn? Don't you think it is the only feasible solution?"
Li Yao licked his tongue again and again, but his mouth was still dry.
He felt more and more that what Wu Yingqi said made sense—at least partly.
"It's still the same sentence, if you think there are any omissions or mistakes in the details, feel free to speak up."
Wu Yingqi said generously, "As long as Ai Qing has something to say, I promise to follow her advice."
"Yes, there is another omission!"
Li Yao's mind was in a mess, and he was digging into the details, "Your Majesty's 'Tomorrow Plan' will not kill tens of billions of people in an instant, but will completely disrupt the brains of these people, turning them into monsters full of killing desires." Beasts are creating boundless terror on the Celestial Pole, but doing so, isn't it easy to trigger a super-large-scale "descent of demons"?
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Your Majesty thinks that he will take into account factors from the reformers, the Ten Thousand Worlds Business Alliance, Lei Chenghu, the four major families, the Holy League, and even the cultivators. Every link is counted to the extreme. But have you considered the issue of the extraterritorial celestial demons, what if the extraterritorial celestial demons suddenly come out and turn countless civilians who have fallen into doomsday terror on the Celestial Pole into 'demons', what should we do!"
As soon as this remark came out, Wu Yingqi couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face.
"Li Aiqing is really thoughtful, she can think of the problem of extraterrestrial demons, but..."
Wu Yingqi smiled and said, "Don't worry about the demons. I have already taken this variable into account, and I have my own solution. I even control all the demons and let them serve the empire obediently."
"Your Majesty can control hundreds of millions of demons?"
Li Yao was shocked again. He squinted his eyes and looked at Wu Yingqi's confident expression. There were countless nerve bundles jumping around in his mind, thinking of something somewhere.
No, no, there is a problem, there is a big problem, he has been ignoring a very important thing.
Just think about what it is, it is the key, the key, the biggest secret of Wu Yingqi.
That's right, there's no reason, it doesn't make sense!
"Speaking of which, how did His Majesty know the secret of the 'Golden Crystal Tower'? Not only the exact coordinates, but also the manipulation method, and even the method of transforming the Golden Crystal Tower into a 'super-giant brainwave amplifier'?"
Li Yao seemed to be talking to himself, and muttered in the weakest voice, "Although your Majesty has stayed in the Emperor's Tomb for hundreds of years, it is impossible for you to know about it from the Emperor—because the opening of the Emperor's Tomb The half key at the core has never been found by His Majesty, and finally fell into my hands.
"Since Your Majesty has never really opened the core of the ancient tomb, it is of course impossible to obtain all the inheritance of the Emperor. What's more, I believe that the Emperor is not the kind of person who will transform the Golden Crystal Tower and prepare to brainwash all mankind on a large scale. Besides, the Emperor It is the biggest enemy of the extraterrestrial demons, and there is no reason why they can control hundreds of millions of demons.
"Judging from the Tianji Star War ten thousand years ago, only two people know the secret of the Golden Crystal Pagoda, except for the emperor, who is the 'Blood God Son of the Doomsday War', and the Blood God Son was corrupted by the extraterrestrial demons, so he degenerated into a demon cultivator , who betrayed the emperor, the rebel army commanded by the Son of the Blood God is the coalition forces of 'Human Race, Monster Race and Demon Race'!
"Could it be—
"Your Majesty was able to transform from an incomplete exile in the martial arts world to the Black Star Emperor of the Real Human Empire in just a few hundred years, and the legendary strongest demon cultivator' Doomsday Warrior Blood God Son ' Is there any relationship between them?"
