Jiang Ling first heard that the Jiang family was exterminated, and half a month later he heard that Jiang Jie had died for his country. This was a great blow to Jiang Ling.
I became much more depressed.
At that time, Jiang Jie regarded him as an abandoned pawn, which made him very angry. In order to have a glimmer of hope of survival, he turned to Duke Sun.
At the time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
After all, Jiang Jie was a new lord who had just taken the throne for less than two months, and Jiang Ling had watched him grow up and had no respect for him. Moreover, because he had protected Jiang Jie for several years and had seen Jiang Jie at his weakest and most embarrassed state, Jiang Ling did not agree with Jiang Jie's position as lord from the bottom of his heart!
"If it weren't for the chance encounter with the Heavenly Dao Mercenary System, Jiang Jie would have died long ago! How could he be so successful now? And even become a lord?"
This is Jiang Ling's true thought deep in his heart.
Therefore, when Jiang Jie changed his attitude towards him drastically and made him a discarded pawn because the list plan did not go smoothly, he was so indignant and unwilling!
At that time, he did not regret his betrayal.
But now, he regrets it!
If it weren't for his betrayal, Jiang Jie wouldn't have lost, wouldn't have disappeared for half a month, wouldn't have let the old lord regain power, wouldn't have thought Jiang was dead, and wouldn't have wanted to massacre the Tiandao mercenaries and the nobles for the sake of Jiang's inheritance and rule, leading to a coup and the annihilation of the Jiang family.
Even Jiang Jie, the fifteen-and-a-half-year-old combat master who possessed the Heavenly Dao Mercenary System, died for his country!
All this happened because of his one thought!
It's all his fault!
When Jiang Ling was about to commit suicide out of self-blame, he was discovered by the military advisor who saved him.
"You may be the last bloodline of the Jiang family. Shouldn't you pass on the Jiang family legacy?!"
The military advisor gave some advice and then left. He was very busy and had no time to take care of Jiang Ling.
After the Jiang clan was destroyed, Jiang Ling is no longer useful!
However, the military advisor was a man who took care of everything. Even if Jiang Ling was no longer of great use, he had made great contributions. He was unwilling to see Jiang Ling commit suicide and die for his country, which made Sun Guogong seem intolerant.
In addition, there may be some secret guards lurking around. He wants to gain their loyalty through Jiang Ling and become a nail in the Jiang family kingdom.
After Jiang Ling, he became very calm and got married immediately.
Obviously, Jiang Ling listened to it.
After returning from Jiang Ling's wedding, the military advisor said to Duke Sun, "Although Jiang Ling's value is much lower without the Jiang family, he's still a rare commodity. He might have other value. Supporting him isn't a big deal, so let's keep him for now."
Duke Sun did not care about these things. He just did whatever the military advisor said.
"My Lord, this parliamentary system is terrifying! First, the Gu Duchy implemented the parliamentary system, and then a month later, the Jiang Duchy also implemented the parliamentary system during the coup."
"My lord, these two neighboring principalities, one upstream and one downstream, have both adopted parliamentary systems. My lord, we should make plans early!"
Duke Sun was suddenly awakened after being reminded by his military advisor.
Yes! In just a few short months, the feudal lord families of his two neighboring principalities had been completely overthrown and replaced with a parliamentary system. Just thinking about this is truly terrifying!
"Is there anything special about this parliamentary system? Why do they all use this system?"
Duke Sun is good at fighting wars, but he is not good at these political things!
The military advisor analyzed, "My lord, the parliamentary system, to put it bluntly, is a multi-power system! It's completely different from a single-power system like the feudal system!"
"Why do the Gu and Jiang Principalities use a parliamentary system? It's because the Heavenly Dao Mercenaries are reset! They have a system, which is equivalent to having the same talents!"
"Although the time taken may vary due to diligence or laziness, they are still relatively equal."
"This is a situation of multiple powers. In such a situation, the feudal system cannot guarantee political stability. There is no other choice but to use the parliamentary system, allowing multiple powers to unite and achieve a balance through parliament, so as to ensure the stability of full rule!"
"Also, because he was so coercive, he loosened up many aspects of the territory. Things that were previously only managed by the lords were now open to the nobles, and things that were previously only managed by the nobles were now open to the common people."
"This has greatly boosted the vitality of the territory, allowing it to rapidly prosper in a short period of time. It has also given a shot in the arm to those who implement this system!"
"My lord, why did the coups happen in both places? The fundamental reason is that the Tiandao mercenaries were promoted too quickly, while the lord's family's strength increased too slowly. With the ministers being strong and the lord being weak, how could a coup happen?"
"My lord, we have experienced this kind of hidden danger before. It's just that we were lucky. They launched the coup too early, and their decline formed an absolute suppression of their power, allowing us to pacify it."
"But, my lord, the Tiandao mercenaries are an inevitable trend, and we must be prepared! Otherwise, the Sun family may be in great trouble!"
After hearing this, Duke Sun stood up and paced back and forth.
Naturally, he listened to the military advisor's words.
What is the general trend?
All the masters and powerful people in the future will be these Heavenly Mercenaries, and they are the natural rulers!
Although their strength has not yet reached absolute strength and formed a major trend, the seeds of their potential have already appeared and can be deduced.
Moreover, they already have the ability to protect themselves and cannot be easily eliminated.
Therefore, the Tiandao Mercenaries are the trend of the times and cannot be resisted!
Duke Sun looked at the military advisor and asked, "I understand what you're saying. It's indeed a very urgent matter. Since you've brought it up, shouldn't you have some countermeasures?"
The military advisor hesitated for a moment and said, "I do have an idea, but I'm afraid the lord will think I have ulterior motives."
"You've known each other for over ten years. What's there to hide? Feel free to say it."
"The measure I'm thinking of is to reform ourselves, use the parliamentary system, and take control of this change in our own hands. The power, of course, will also be in our own hands. But..."
Although Duke Sun was proficient in military affairs but not in politics, he was a qualified lord with a broad perspective.
"It's just that power is no longer stable. It might become so that after two or three generations, it will take fierce competition to become the one in power. Right?"
"Yes! This is the downside of the parliamentary system! A multi-coercive political system is indeed very effective in balancing and uniting various forces, but at the same time, it also intensifies this competition!"
"Therefore, the ability requirements for those in power are even higher. The internal struggles are even more intense and cruel!"
"At the same time, because the parliamentary system will relax many restrictions, the people in the territory will continue to awaken, and internal strife will become more serious!"
"So, the parliamentary system has both advantages and disadvantages. Right now, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
