Chapter 277: Discovery of the New World (7)
The Master said:
"If you're going to stop in the middle of something, it's better not to start at all."
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.
If you're going to seek revenge, you must ensure your opponent can never recover, or if that’s impossible, make sure they never dare to touch you again.
If you only land a few strikes and leave it at that, you’ll eventually be hit back.
"Think about it, Sebastian. Isn't the border region of the Lyon Kingdom, on the edge of the Holy Empire, in the perfect state for a rebellion?"
History textbooks always teach us this:
The reason dynasties were overthrown in China and Joseon was because the kings were tyrants.
This isn’t entirely wrong, but if we scrutinize historical facts more rigorously...
‘Rebellions arise when life becomes unbearably difficult due to a tyrannical king.’
When a king spends all his money on frivolous and decadent hobbies, or purges his officials, the common people don’t rise up.
Why? Because no matter how much the high officials argue and fight, everyday life for the people remains the same.
