Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

As long as General Raiden, this humanoid nuclear bomb, hangs over their heads, and as long as they lack the means to counter it, they can only rely on the Shogunate's magistrates and exist as a special force under the Shogunate.

The resistance army's existence is entirely a result of internal conflicts and struggles within the shogunate. Its existence is useful to both sides in the internal struggles within the shogunate, and even to forces like the Fools.

Furthermore, the resistance army consistently opposed the "National Isolation Edict and the Eye Hunt Edict," rather than the Raiden Shogun or the Shogunate.

Their most radical slogan was nothing more than "Destroy the tyranny of the shogunate, Inazuma belongs to the people."

From the perspective of the shogunate, the first half of the statement refers to eliminating tyranny, not the shogunate itself, while the second half is something that Kujo Takayuki didn't care about. Ayato Kamisato and Yae no Miko directly equated him with the shogun.

After all, it is common knowledge that the Demon God loves a human.

Inazuma belongs to the people, and the people of Inazuma are the people of the General. Doesn't that mean Inazuma belongs to the General?

Logical correct √

Although it's a bit roundabout, it's just a political slogan, so shouldn't we at least say it in a nice way?

That's how it is, according to Ayato Kamisato and Miko Yae.

Don't look at what he says, look at what he does.

From the perspective of both sides in the shogunate, Umijima is still quite sensible and tacitly understanding.

Therefore, the shogunate would allow the existence of Umijima Island and the resistance army, instead of reporting it to the Raiden Shogun.

The fools, however, have their own purposes and would not idly report Inazuma's domestic affairs to General Raiden through diplomatic channels.

If any of the various forces within Inazuma report the true situation to General Raiden, or if they actually storm the castle tower, then they are most likely doomed.

The shogunate army will launch a full-scale attack. If the shogunate army cannot break through, then the Raiden Shogun himself will have to take action.

Haiqi Island doesn't have high-end combat power like yours right now.

At that time, it will be a time of laughter and cheers as people type "GG".

Having ideals is good, but you can't ignore reality.

Jiang Ming did want to pursue a revolutionary cause, but he could distinguish between ideals and reality. He knew that one must be strong to succeed, that one must take things one step at a time, and that development must be gradual. He could wait for the unexpected change to come to an end, instead of just daydreaming about taking down a general with one blow.

The current goal is to survive, gain more initiative in the power struggle between the two factions within the shogunate, and ensure that the common people can have enough to eat, or even just survive.

Nuclear weapons (General Thunder) that can be used at will and can strike with precision are just that unreasonable.

Xin Hai knew that Jiang Ming knew that he wouldn't do anything reckless, so she felt comfortable letting him do it.

Furthermore, she was also aware that Jiang Ming seemed to know some of General Lei Dian's secrets.

I imagine he's better at controlling the "degree" than she is.

Based on reality, we should think and make decisions in a down-to-earth and pragmatic manner. This is what a normal, sane person should do.

But do you think these extremists can even consider these things?

Many of them actually thought Lei Jun was easy to bully.

Therefore, both Xin Hai and Jiang Ming were clear that they absolutely could not allow these muddle-headed extremists to control the power of these machines.

That would be tantamount to courting death.

This is why neither the industrial zone nor the new army includes these members of the "Extreme Serpent God Faction".

So, unsurprisingly, Xin Hai rejected their offer outright.

Not only did they refuse the conditions, but they also demanded that they immediately cease all operations and hand over the murderer.

The members of the "Extreme Snake God Faction" were unsurprisingly turned down the offer.

The communication, or rather the negotiation, between the two parties was very unpleasant.

In the end, these extremists even directly accused Jiang Ming on the spot of helping outsiders exploit the local snake god people of Haiqi Island, and claimed that Jiang Ming had bewitched their "human god priestess".

It wasn't until this point that Jiang Ming sensed something was wrong.

It feels like these people are putting their innermost thoughts on a sacred place and roasting them.

Not only was it placed on a sacred throne, but it also took it upon itself to engage in some self-indulgent solo activities, presuming to make a great contribution to the island of Haizhi for the sake of the sea of ​​hearts.

It looks kind of familiar...

Before Jiang Ming could think any further, the negotiations broke down amidst the sounds of tables being slammed and doors being slammed.

The two sides broke up unhappy.

After that, Xin Hai and Jiang Ming kept preparing to meet each other's next move.

However, to Xin Hai and Jiang Ming's surprise, they rallied the natives of Wanglong Village and some of the surrounding Haiqi Island residents, as well as a large number of low-level officials from the Coral Palace who managed these areas, to stage a protest.

In the past, there was no culture of protests in Inazuma.

But now, under the instigation of these extremists, it has happened.

They protested against Jiang Ming's unfair treatment.

This really got Jiang Ming completely confused.

It is undeniable that the indigenous people of these islands live a life worse than the workers.

After all, the workers' productivity is what it is.

But he did give these indigenous people a chance.

The factory prioritizes hiring these indigenous people.

Even if you don't know anything, the factory will teach you everything you need to know.

This is much better than those refugees who have to have some skills or experience to get into the factory, right?

Some people complain about the repetitive work in factories, the noise, the poor air quality, and so on, and insist on clinging to their saline-alkali land or their small fishing boats.

And then, seeing that the workers' treatment was good and stable, I thought I should have that too.

No, buddy, do you think your saline-alkali land and small fishing boats are comparable to the big machines in a factory?

You want factory pay but don't want to work in a factory to tighten screws? How can you have it all?

Jiang Ming ignored their demands.

Anyway, the channels for getting into the factory are always open; come if you want, or don't come, goodbye.

This time, however, they stepped forward under the empty promises and instigation of these members of the "Extreme Snake God Faction".

These people alone are enough to give Xin Haijiang a headache.

Such unreasonable demands must not be agreed to, but these people are gathering here to protest, and we can't just ignore them.

What's even more troublesome is that these people are led by officials.

Besides the industrial zone, the docks, the marine science institute, and the Coral Palace, many officials in places like Wanglong Village also joined the strike and protest.

This means that, apart from the aforementioned regions, administrative departments in other places have essentially ceased to function and become ineffective.

Xin Haijiang and his team were completely clueless about these areas, with no understanding of the situation and no ability to convey government orders.

Chapter 76 The Upheaval on Haiqi Island (Final) – Errors of Empiricism

From this point onward, Haigi Island was effectively divided into the "Coral Palace Ruled Area" and the "Snake God Faction Ruled Area".

The former refers to industrial areas and docks, while the latter mainly consists of Wanglong Village.

Haigi Island has already split up due to irreconcilable internal conflicts.

It must be said that Xin Hai and Jiang Ming both deserve some blame in this matter.

They transferred all the outstanding and competent officials at all levels of the Coral Palace to emerging areas such as industrial zones, causing the traditional areas to lose a large number of capable and competent people.

This includes non-factional pragmatists, normal serpent god believers, coral palace supporters, sea enthusiasts, and people who don't care about religious beliefs, etc.

These outstanding, pragmatic, and ordinary people are precisely the backbone of a government department's operation.

Without them, the efficiency of various departments plummeted, and the working hours and workload of the remaining staff in the departments increased dramatically, which in itself led to great dissatisfaction.

In addition, the loss of these people meant they had to withstand the pressure from those extremists.

The combination of the two exacerbated the imbalance of factional power in traditional areas, with the "Extreme Serpent God Faction" beginning to dominate.

After becoming the dominant power, we are now in a situation where we are still nominally united, but in reality, we are divided.

For Jiang Ming, this was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Having grown up in a large, unified country and become accustomed to the atmosphere of big government, the last time he saw a government shutdown caused by partisan strife was in the news from the United States.

These extremists are like turtles eating a weight; they're determined to fight him to the end.

Clay figures also have three points of fire energy.

From the very beginning, he was mindful of these people's feelings, carefully restraining his punches and kicks. And after all that fuss, this is what you do to me?

He advocates uniting all forces that can be united, concentrating efforts on resolving the main contradictions, and letting go where possible. This does not mean he is indulging without limits or tolerating others taking advantage of him.

These guys are truly hopeless trash who can't get along.

Those scumbags who are getting in our way!

I'm so angry!

Since we cannot unite or win them over, we must resolutely strike them down.

He didn't have such a complex and deeply entrenched power base, nor did he have so many mid- to low-level officials, but he had the support of the vast majority of the people.

Xin Hai held back the eager Jiang Ming, still not wanting to resort to violence, and tried to resolve the issue through peaceful means.

This greatly displeased Jiang Ming.

What kind of time is this? Do you still expect to use ordinary methods?

Centrists are often disliked by both sides, and Xin Hai is a prime example of this now.

But, after all, it is the sea of ​​the heart.

Jiang Ming was too embarrassed to make any further moves, so he let Xin Hai try to negotiate again.

While Xin Hai initiated negotiations, she also used her identity as the "Human God Priestess" to order officials at all levels to return to their posts and end the gathering through newspapers, leaflets, and public announcements.

However, the effect was not obvious.

Since the other side has already chosen sides, how could they give up so easily?
