Mr. Yan walked around slowly, turned around and continued to explain:"Master, let me tell you about the past first. There were only four countries that first appeared in Blue Lake, and they were all very powerful. That is, the four original countries of Blue Lake, relatively As far as the four original kingdoms are concerned, the others can only be regarded as city-states and tribes. Although there are constant disputes among the city-states and tribes, the four original kingdoms have a stable structure in Blue Lake. Later, one of the original kingdoms gradually declined. As the so-called one declines and the other grows, there are A barbarian city-state has made a living by hunting for generations. With the advancement of hunting weapons, it has become increasingly powerful. The barbarians are brave and fierce, and are barbaric by nature. They invaded the original country, gained a lot of wealth, and became the Luoba country. The

Luoba people They were obsessed with wealth, like a disease that could only be cured by wealth. The fastest way to obtain wealth was robbery. They continued to expand, occupying everywhere, raping and plundering wherever they went, and gradually occupied two other original countries. In this way, three of the four original kingdoms became vassal territories of the Luoba Kingdom. Most of the other city-state tribes also surrendered. The power of the Luoba Kingdom reached its peak. Sixty-seven out of ten of the Blue Lakes were under the control of the Luoba Kingdom. The vassal The Loba Army was everywhere on the ground and became the first generation of Blue Lake overlords, forming a new pattern and establishing the order of the vassal territory.

They searched for wealth in the vassal territory for a long time, but over time, as their power and wealth increased, they slowly began to decline. One of the largest vassal territories, the general who guards the vassal territory is brave and resourceful, and can conquer and fight well. His power gradually grows, and he becomes the actual master of the vassal territory. He gradually no longer wants to be controlled by the Loba Kingdom, and the conflicts gradually intensify. The general They united with four other generals from nearby vassal territories and eventually rebelled and stopped paying tribute to the Luoba Kingdom. The Luoba Kingdom sent troops to conquer, and in the end the generals narrowly won. After breaking away, the five generals made an agreement to establish the Xilu Kingdom. At first, the Xilu Kingdom They were always worried about another conquest of Luoba Congress, attaching great importance to the army and requiring everyone to practice martial arts. The Xilu army became stronger and stronger until Luoba had no choice but to find another place to expand again to make up for the breakaway zone of Xilu. This time they set their sights on the last original country, the wealthy Dongfu Country.

Dongfu Country has a large land and abundant resources, and is based on farming. At first, Luoba Country was delayed because of Dongfu Country's large population. Dare to invade. Although the people of Dongfu were not good at fighting, they resisted tenaciously. The war lasted for a long time. After the separation of Xilu Kingdom, the Luoba Kingdom was no longer what it used to be. The Luoba Army fell into the battlefield of Dongfu Kingdom. The Luoba Kingdom on the edge of Dongfu Kingdom The tribes of Daying are getting stronger day by day. In the past, the people of Daying respected Dongfu Country very much. They learned from Dongfu Country in everything. They knew Dongfu Country best. They knew the prosperity of Dongfu Country and also knew the weakness of Dongfu Country. They had already invaded Dongfu Country. Fuguo's plan was that they were single and weak. Seeing that Luopaguo had never been able to occupy Dongfuguo and that its national strength was somewhat weak, they secretly took the opportunity to enter Dongfuguo, intending to occupy a place and divide the wealth. The war had already destroyed Dongfuguo. It was dilapidated and almost turned into a piece of scorched earth. Unexpectedly, the oriole was behind it. At this time, the Xilu Kingdom saw the opportunity, and under the slogan of safeguarding the peace of Blue Lake and ensuring the survival of the people of Blue Lake, led a large army to Dongfu Kingdom to conquer The exhausted Luoba Kingdom and the Daying Tribe, at that time, the Xilu Army was unmatched and quickly defeated the Luoba Kingdom and the Daying Tribe. The Xilu Kingdom changed the pattern of the Blue Lake and re-established the order of the Blue Lake. With the Treaty of the Blue Lagoon.

In order for the people of Blue Lake to live a stable life, the treaty required all countries and city-state tribes to return to their original lands, and allowed city-state tribes and vassal territories to establish independent countries regardless of their size. The vassal territories occupied by Loba quickly broke away and became a country. In order to prevent another large-scale war from happening in Blue Lake, the treaty stipulates that countries are not allowed to have armies for external warfare, but can only have defense forces to maintain national security. Countries are not allowed to build private armor, and other countries are not allowed to go to war without the approval of the West Lu Kingdom. The vassal territories that had just been founded were very fragile and in great need of such a guarantee. They responded one after another and gave their full support. From then on, the Xilu Kingdom replaced the Luoba Kingdom as the new generation overlord of the Blue Lake, establishing the current vassal state order, and forming the current situation of one country dominating the Blue Lake."

Mr. Yan stopped, looked at the students and then continued:"This is the Xilu Kingdom that most people know. Xilu Kingdom does have its own merits."

"Teacher, at that time, why didn’t Xilu Kingdom take over the vassal territory and maintain the original order like Luoba Kingdom did?"

"This was the smart move of the Xilu Kingdom at that time. At that time, the Xilu Kingdom could completely annex the Dongfu Kingdom, the Daying Kingdom, and even the Luoba Kingdom and turn them into vassal territories. There are many people in Dongfu. After the Three Kingdoms fought here one after another, the land was a scorched land and the people were in dire straits. They came with the slogan of ensuring the survival of the people of Blue Lake. Therefore, if they want to rule, they must ensure the survival of the local people, and the Xilu Kingdom must be rescued. Although the Xilu Kingdom was wealthy at that time, it was far less wealthy than it is now. In addition, the Dongfu Kingdom was large in area, and effective governance was inherently difficult. What's more, there was a group of people who swore to follow the late king and would not compromise, so subsequent struggles were inevitable. The Xilu Kingdom itself was once a vassal territory, and it was clear that occupation by force could not be ruled for a long time. Even if they did not resist at the time, there would always be people who would rebel later, just like they did back then."

"Teacher, since it’s not to seize land, why did the Xilu Kingdom intervene in the war?"

"Luoba Kingdom, Daying Kingdom and Xilu Kingdom have only one purpose in fighting. For the sake of wealth, Xilu Kingdom will never support poor countries. Their so-called help for the people of Dongfu Kingdom is definitely not for the justice of Blue Lake. After the war, they demanded one tael of silver from every citizen of Dongfu State for sending troops. This was a huge amount of money, which only made the dilapidated Dongfu State worse. It took Dongfu State decades to pay it all. More importantly, the Luoba Kingdom was defeated and the vassal territories were separated from Jianguo. The Nanzhai Kingdom and the Xiami Kingdom were established at this time, which greatly weakened the strength of the Luoba Kingdom. The vassal territories of the country were naturally grateful to the Xilu Kingdom in the long run. The purpose is to make no country on the Blue Lake have the strength to compete with the Xilu Kingdom and always be the overlord on the Blue Lake."

Lao Yan rarely talks about the situation of Blue Lake, and rarely comments on the Xilu Kingdom. The Blue Lake Treaty, which originally maintained the stability of Blue Lake, turned out to have such evil intentions. The students were shocked and they didn't know how to react. Lao Yan Looking at the students, they no longer had any expectations. In the past, they only saw the beautiful water of the Blue Lake, but did not know the hidden reefs under the water.

"Teacher, then there is no difference between Xilu Kingdom and Luoba Kingdom?"

"「"Delete this paragraph" is full of hypocrisy.......The Xilu Kingdom did not indulge in the victory on the battlefield. They learned from the lessons of the Luoba Kingdom. Instead of directly occupying and brutally exploiting them, they adopted an elegant approach. Today, the Blue Lake Kingdoms are countries in name only, but in fact They are all under the control of the Xilu Kingdom, which is essentially the same as a vassal territory of the Xilu Kingdom. There is no essential difference between the Xilu Kingdom and the Luoba Kingdom. They just use different methods. The Luoba Kingdom used sharp swords, while the Xilu Kingdom used sharp swords. Lu Guo now pays more attention to thinking. The late king would rather die than surrender, so he naturally knew the true face of the Xilu Kingdom."

The students fell into silence, and then Mr. Yan sighed:"It has been 60 years, a year of Jiazi, a reincarnation, how many people can survive a year of Jiazi, and there is another war in Blue Lake.

Then Mr. Yan turned around and looked at the other old man:"Next, please ask Mr. Wen to explain the order of the Blue Lake from the perspective of the current situation of each country.""

The students turned their attention to the old man. Mr. Wen rarely lectured, and many people came here because of Mr. Wen.
