Original God, but the real world

Chapter 118 117-Reason
This is not a mysterious truth.

Simply put, the shogunate was the powerful party. If it was unwilling to let Kaijima go, then Kaijima would have no choice but to submit to death or resist.

But Coral Palace Xinhai chose the latter.

Before the Eye Hunting Order was implemented on Kaiji Island, she chose to openly resist the Eye Hunting Order and opened an umbrella for all the God's Eye holders in Inazuma who resisted the Eye Hunting Order.

This umbrella is not big and may not be able to protect you from wind and rain.

But at least before the umbrellas were blown away by the wind and rain, someone took the pressure off them.

This is the best news for those who resist the Eye Hunt Order.

Although the resistance is not very promising, it is much better than acting alone.

So, everyone began to rebel against the shogunate.

The key here is not the people who are dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order, but why Coral Palace Xinhai chose to stand up and act as an umbrella.

She is the living goddess of the Coral Palace on Kaiji Island. She is only responsible to the people of Kaiji Island who trust the Coral Palace.

Coral Palace Xinhai should not sympathize with the suffering of others.

She may not even be able to survive her own suffering.

But she did it anyway.

"If what you said is true, then Lord Coral Palace really has no other choice."

Wu Lang thought for a moment.

As a general of the rebels, he was of course able to collect all kinds of intelligence.

He usually trusts and even worships Coral Palace Xinhai, but he does not completely lose his own considerations.

"But why would the shogunate do this?"

Wu Lang looked at Jiang Qing.

"Kaijima is not an island rich in resources. Even if the shogunate conquers Kaijima, there won't be any benefits, right?"

Fighting is not the goal. The goal is to plunder something through war or to force the other side to give in.

But Umijima... Goro has nothing to say.

This is the only home of the people of Haizhi Island, but people cannot just sing praises of the suffering and difficult environment.

Of course you can find joy in adversity.

However, it is enough to just talk to yourself about finding joy in adversity. There is no need to insist that Haizhi Island is rich in resources and can nurture the future and development of the entire Haizhi Island when it is time to face the objective facts.

That doesn't make sense.

This is also Wulang’s biggest confusion.

What could be gained by making trouble for Haizhi Island?

This island does not have any special resources, and is even in danger of becoming a sanctified land.

If the secret techniques passed down from generation to generation in the Coral Palace are lost, Haizhi Island will sink into the abyss.

The shogunate would not get much return for the manpower and resources it spent in such places.

"The shogunate may not make any profit, and may even lose money." Jiang Qing remembered something and smiled more sincerely, "But the Tenryo Bugyo-sama, Kujo Takayuki and his Kujo family may not be the same."

Wu Lang didn't react for a moment.

He had fought the shogunate for so long that he had a clear understanding of the management of the shogunate's internal affairs.

As one of the three bugyo, Tenryo Bugyo has such a high status that it is not an exaggeration to say that they share the same destiny with the country.

Without Inazuma, no country would offer such treatment to the Kujo family.

So how could he possibly do something without considering the interests of the shogunate?

If the shogunate suffers a loss, isn’t that also the loss of the Three Magistrates?

When the cannon is fired, there is a thousand taels of gold.

From the moment any war starts, whether it is the side driving the wheels or the side facing the chariots, everyone is losing money.

But there are still countless ambitious people who enjoy doing this and continue to follow this path.

Because if we win the war, we will get unexpectedly rich rewards.

This is also the value of war.

Some are for deterrence, some are for plundering resources... The purposes of war vary, but the essence of war is to ensure one's own interests, there is no problem with that.

And this war of the shogunate... was almost meaningless.

Even if the shogunate won the battle of Kaijima, people would just take it for granted.

The shogunate has gods, but Kaijima does not have gods.

Even if General Raiden did not take action, the shogunate's victory would not be enough to pose any deterrent.

After winning the battle, the resources that can be plundered from Haizhi Island are quite limited.

If one can neither deter the enemy nor gain sufficient benefits, then the war loses its meaning and is simply driven for the purpose of killing and venting anger.

This situation does exist, but Kujo Takayuki is definitely not such a person.

"Hajima is a good opponent."

Jiang Qing stood up.

Although supplies are scarce, this place is really beautiful.

“It has a natural reason to be conquered.”

Jiang Qing said, "During the Eastern Expedition, the death of Kaiji Omikami announced the failure of Kaiji Island."

"But there is no doubt that the seeds of hatred have been sown."

"So it is completely reasonable to take action against Haizhi Island."

Kaijima launched an expedition to the east, and Kaijima became a member of Inazuma.

But at that time, General Raiden did not directly abolish the belief in Orobas, which made the officials of the shogunate somewhat unsure of General Raiden's attitude.

In theory, with Kaijima's behavior, even if it was incorporated into Inazuma, it would still be an inferior cattle and horse.

Everyone worked together to create trouble here and transfer their limited resources to Minggami Island.

What does the life and death of the people of Haizhi Island have to do with the Inazuma people?

They started a war, they lost, and they became Inazuma people.

If we win, we are all people from Kaijima; if we lose, we are all people from Inazuma... How can such a good thing happen in the world?

The Eastern Expedition was so powerful that the shogunate had to respond passively, and many soldiers and generals died.

From any perspective, it was impossible for the shogunate at that time to have any friendly attitude towards Kaijima.

It's already good enough that they didn't take advantage of this opportunity to impose high-handed rule on Haizhi Island and completely squeeze the island and the people living on it.

How can we possibly help develop Haizhi Island?
However, the general's decision to retain the Coral Palace left everyone at a loss as to what to do.

This obviously doesn't mean to kill people, right?

The general's best friend died in the Eastern Expedition launched by Oropus, but he did not directly sink the Poseidon Island into the sea.

The god did not take revenge for the death of his friend, but accepted the people of Kaiji Island.

Even if they, a group of mortals, lost their friends, fathers or sons because of this unexpected disaster, how could they be qualified to do something that even gods would not do?

No one knows what kind of deal Oropus and Narukami made behind the scenes, but in short, the people of Kaijima survived.

The shogunate did not have much intention of controlling this remote place, and Kaijima also knew that the shogunate was not in a good mood, so it would not take the initiative to get close to it.

The impact of the Eastern Expedition has temporarily ended, but those who died in the expedition all have their own relatives and friends.

Hatred is like a chain and will not break easily.

As long as there is a suitable opportunity, launching a war against Kaijima becomes a matter of course.

Kujo Takayuki seized this opportunity.

Jiang Qing didn't know his specific methods, but it was not difficult to do this.

As long as Coral Palace Xinhai realizes the threat and realizes that the shogunate is planning to settle accounts with Kaijima and the Eastern Expedition, she will immediately find a way to resist.

The Coral Palace's miko is very perceptive.

No matter how people evaluate the Eastern Expedition, at least for the shogunate, it was an unreasonable war.

At that time, Kaigo Omikami and Raiden General "used the western border as the dividing line and lived in peace with each other."

The general had no intention of taking the initiative to conquer the snake.

But then, the giant snake "suddenly became malicious and invaded the eastward", which eventually led to this war in which everyone lost.

In other words, this was an unjust war initiated by Oropus and Kaijima.

As long as the shogunate wanted to settle accounts, they had countless means to deal with the Kaijima Island that nominally belonged to the shogunate.

So Coral Palace Xinhai had no choice at all.

If she accepted it calmly, Kujo Takayuki would not only be in charge of the greater good, but also be the immediate superior of Coral Palace Xinhai.

Everything has been occupied by others. If you don't use others' banner to resist and just set up your own business, then you really have no chance at all to play by their rules.

Coral Palace Xinhai could only stand up and form a resistance army.

This was to break away from the shogunate system and achieve a relatively equal position with the shogunate.

If she still acted as the leader of Kaijima belonging to the shogunate, she would not even be qualified to talk to Kujo Takayuki.

Because within the shogunate system, there were no human rights on Kaijima Island, and Kujo Takayuki was one of the three contemporary magistrates.

Within a system, the other party's power completely overrides the heart of the Coral Palace.

Not every official within the shogunate was qualified to meet the Lord Tenryo Bugyo.

With Coral Palace Xinhai's status as one where even an audience with the emperor depends on the other party's mood, if she doesn't get away, she will have to wait for Kujo Takayuki to deal with her.

Wu Lang hesitated to speak.

He understands the truth, but... why does this lunatic Kujo Takayuki want to start a war?
Since he could take the initiative to let Coral Palace's heart sea sense the threat, he naturally had a way to deal with Haizhi Island without letting the other party easily sense the threat.

That is to say, this bastard's original intention was not to take over Haizhi Island, but simply hoped that Haizhi Island would stand up and resist.

He wants war.

"I have been fighting against the shogunate for a long time, and many of my friends have died in this war..." Goro lowered his head, "If this war is entirely a game promoted by Kujo Takayuki alone, I will find it hard to accept it."

It is indeed a bit hard to accept that life and death is someone else's game.

Jiang Qing nodded in agreement. He patted Wu Lang on the shoulder and spoke sincerely.

"Everyone is the same." Jiang Qing said, "It is indeed unpleasant to have life and death controlled by others, not to mention that life and death has become a game for them."

"But this is reality."

There is no equal restriction between the three practices.

The shrine magistrate Kamisato's family suffered two major changes, and the only direct descendant of Shinsuke Hiiragi was Chisato Hiiragi.

They are unlikely to raise their voices to Kujo Takayuki.

What's more, if the situation is favorable to Kujo Takayuki, how could it not be the same for them?
