The so-called "war of self-defense" was a rebellion launched by the civilian class of the empire under the slogan of "protecting the right of self-defense". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a human being, there is nothing wrong with wanting to protect the power of self-preservation. However, the problem is that according to the "Dangerous Weapons Control Regulations" passed by the Byronic Empire on April 20, 180 New Calendar, civilians are only prohibited from producing and using all types of firearms, crossbows, and bows of more than 10 kilograms, and all types of explosives, knives, spears and other melee weapons, as well as armor.

In other words, after the introduction of the Dangerous Weapons Control Regulations, the civilian population of the empire can still keep a large number of weapons. If only to protect yourself, this is obviously enough. The civilian class behaves aggressively because they are told that these weapons are not enough to protect them. Because the Byrons army had better weapons, if they wanted to harm civilians, civilians could not protect themselves.

In this way, on May 16, 180 New Calendar, the first civilian riot broke out in the ancient city of Bo. Xiaohu Liantong took the opportunity to declare an uprising and united with the old nobles of Tairong to rebel. Some of the garrisons also participated in the rebellion, but fortunately, the empire had been prepared for this, and the rebels were defeated and fled under the armed suppression of the city defense army and the regular army.

But the rebellion did not end there, but blossomed all over the country. The Byrons could not even count the exact number of those who took part in the rebellion, because there were so many of them.

"This is a war between the wise and the foolish."

In an unknown deep mountain, Liang Ben leisurely drank a little wine, and glanced at the sand table map in front of him from time to time. The sand table was filled with small red flags representing the rebels and small blue flags representing the imperial army, and Liang Ben's close attendants knew that these small flags represented the troops, which would cause tens of thousands of casualties every day.

At this time, Liang Ben was still the supreme leader of the rebels. Some people may ask, doesn't Liang Ben plan to eradicate the "root cause" of the Byron family? Why didn't he kill all the rebel leaders before the rebellion began? As long as the rebel party has no leader, they won't be able to make trouble at all, right?

But don't forget, Liang Ben inherited his father's legacy, and his father's legacy was exactly the same as Gray's thoughts. They want to completely change the world by force, but because of the conversation with Meier, Gray's concept has changed to a certain extent and he decides to reduce the casualties as much as possible, while Liang Ben's father still maintains his original idea.

Maier was also influenced by Gray to think that the world would be a better place if the bad guys were completely eliminated. Later, he was prompted by Ramogis and influenced by the Taeyong fairy, and changed his original concept. Because of this, the Byrons family's operation to unify the world will be carried out with "casualty minimization" as the core.

But the result of this is to plant hidden dangers for the Empire, and it will take a lot of effort to solve these hidden dangers. Originally, Liang Ben planned to follow the original plan to try to gather these so-called "hidden dangers" and kill them together to get rid of the so-called "root causes". But as the plan progressed, Liang Ben found that these people were not the whole hidden danger.

In his own words, there are too many "fools" in this world, and they are the real hidden danger of the empire. Myer, Gray, and Ramorgis all intend to solve this problem through education, so they only target those who have done bad things or have evil intentions. It's just that Mel and Gray's attitude towards them is to "keep the small and put the big in the big", that is, let the adults ignore and only educate the children; And Ramogis's attitude towards them is to "do their best to preserve" and not give up any hope.

And Liang Ben's attitude towards them is only "clear". He believes that it is precisely because of the existence of these people that other people do not live well, so these people have no right to live. Liang Ben believes that these people are the source of social chaos, and only when they are dead can others live a normal life.

So he changed his original plan. Instead of killing all the leaders of the rebels in advance, he allowed the rebellion to erupt in order to rid the "fools" of the world with the help of the Imperial Army.

After receiving Liang Ben's letter, Maier had already recognized the identity of his allies. But Liang Ben's laissez-faire, and even his sedition, made Maier unsure of his pulse. He couldn't figure out whether Liang Ben was friend or foe, just like his father couldn't figure out whether Liang Ben wanted to inherit his legacy.

In September 181 of the new calendar, the Cornate family held a family meeting. The rebels, led by Shervey, persuaded Moridin to lead the Cornate family to join the rebellion, and Moritin did have different intentions for the Byrons family, but he was not stupid. He knew that the Byrons family never did something they were not sure about, and although this rebellion was very sudden, the Imperial Army was very calm, and he knew at a glance that it was well prepared. Although the Byrons did not know that the Dangerous Weapons Control Ordinance would trigger a nationwide rebellion, they knew that the old nobles would sooner or later incite civilians to revolt, so the Imperial Army was always on the alert.

Moridin did not want the Cornate family to die, but most of the family supported the rebellion. When Moriddin was still in charge of the army, the Cornate family was his hall. But now it can't be done, he has no military power in his hands, and he is no longer a dictator, and the people below are no longer afraid of him. However, everyone still regarded him as the head of the family, so they forced Moriddin to accept their terms by holding a family meeting.

The mud can't hold up the wall......

Moridin shook his head helplessly, and he said to the family members again, he thinks that this rebellion will not succeed, and the Cornate family will even be destroyed because of it, even so, do you still want to rebel?

Shelvey's group, however, thought that the Barons were gone, because the people were on their side, at least the people except the Core, the Tajon Elves, the Ilibi, and the Elts. They felt that the Byrons family would be drowned in the sea of the People's War, and then the new world would return to its original order, and the Cornate family would rise again.

Moritin had the family members vote by a show of hands, and everyone except Ima and Moritdin supported the rebels. Ima didn't raise his hand because he didn't want to betray his friend, and even though everyone in the family was looking at him with strange eyes, he still didn't change his face, and he was no longer influenced by others in his decision-making.

In desperation, Moridin accepted the rebels' terms. Many people in the family knew about the relationship between Imma and Myer, and they were afraid that Imma would go to the Byrons family and want to lock him up. Moriddin, however, locked up Irma first, and then quietly sent him out of the city of Sarkin to tell him about Myr.

Moriddin knew that now the Cornate family was finished. The only thing he could do now was to preserve the Cornate family's bloodline. As long as Ima survives, the Cornate family can continue. Although Moriddin was once a dictator, he was a dictator for the sake of his family. He dedicated his life to his family and was a conscientious family leader.

Eventually, Moritin led the Cornate family in a rebellion. As Moritin expected, it took only three years for the Imperial Army to put down the rebellion and strengthen the Byrons' rule over the region. With the exception of Ima, who fled before the rebellion, no one survived.

After Imma fled, Moriddin killed all of Ima's wives and concubines in order to appease the anger. At this time, Ima's descendants were gone, and Moridin asked Irma to start over in Byrons, preferably by marrying the Empire's magnates, so that the Cornate family could truly take root in the center and spread out.

Letting Irma sell the entire family in exchange for the Cornate family's foothold in the center was Moritdin's last move in his life, and his proudest move. As it turned out, Moritdin's decision was the right one. After the fall of the Konat family in Saktin, Maier no longer had any worries, let Irma serve in the center, and took the initiative to introduce Irma to unmarried women in the family of the imperial magnates, so that he could gain a foothold in the center of the empire.

In this way, the new Cornate family took root and blossomed in the city of Byrons. The physicist Vantin, who is known to posterity? Colnatt, The Macallan? Konate, educator Yabat? Kernate, as well as Salen? Marshal Konnat is from this family.

According to incomplete statistics, the rebellion caused nearly 20 million casualties, and the death toll even exceeded that of the world war. At the end of the war, Liang Ben's troops, who had never participated in the battle, surrendered to the Imperial Army in a complete formation. They were scattered in no-man's land, and after years of development, the garrisons of these troops have been transformed into small, self-sufficient settlements.

The Imperial Army was surprised when they received these troops, because they were so well equipped and morale was so high that they should not have surrendered. It is worth mentioning that when the Imperial Army conducted the statistics of the surrenders, they found that all the surrendered soldiers had the surname "Liang", and everyone looked very sad when mentioning their surnames.

After several inquiries, the Imperial Army learned that the Iraung Emperor Liang Ben had committed suicide. Before he died, he said to his attendants: "I will not tolerate the world, the world will not allow me, but only one way to die, with the style of the world." ”

Subsequently, Liang Ben asked the attendants to give all the troops a surrender order, and gave "Liang" to all the soldiers of the army as a surname. With the exception of Iraa shrine maidens, the Ira people all have surnames. The surname represents the inheritance of the ancestors, so the Ira people will not give up their surname easily.

However, Liang Ben's troops all gave up their original surnames and changed their surnames to "Liang" at the emperor's order. They did this not because "Liang" was the former imperial surname, but because Emperor Liang Ben would always live in their hearts. It can be seen that Liang Ben is very loved by the soldiers.

You must know that there were 80,000 soldiers under Liang Ben at that time. When Liang Ben left Ding'an City and fled, these 80,000 people were willing to leave their families and leave with him, and willingly obeyed all of Liang Ben's arrangements. No one knew what Liang Ben had done to them, not even themselves. Some people maliciously speculate that Liang Ben brainwashed these people in a mysterious way, but this statement is obviously flawed. If Liang Ben can really brainwash people, why would he let the Byrons family rule the world? If you give him enough time, he can change the world the way he wants it to be.

Liang Ben's attendants dedicated all his handwritings to the Byrons family to prove that Liang Ben was not an enemy of the Byrons family. When Maier finished reading Liang Ben's notes, tears of regret were already on his cheeks. There is no doubt that Liang Ben is a wise man, but he, like Moritdin, is a poor wise man.

Moridin was too attached to the Cornate family, so he was dragged down by the Cornate family, making all his efforts go to waste, and he himself died because of the family. Liang Ben is paranoid that death and annihilation can solve the problem at the source, so he kills his family, and tries to kill those he thinks are the source of the problem, and finally he thinks that he is also the source of the problem, so he kills himself too.

It is true that the people killed by Liang Ben are the source of the problem, but just eliminating these people will not solve the problem. Liang Ben failed to recognize this, so he always felt pain, because the killing itself was something that brought suffering. Maier can understand Liang Ben's pain, because in this world, there are too many people who have died because of him.

So, have we changed the world?

Meier sat in his office, staring blankly at the ceiling.

We unified the world and established new institutions, but in this way we changed the world?

The so-called change is nothing but my hope and the hope of my companions. Do others really expect change? Do we really have the power to make decisions for them? Do the wicked and the foolish really not deserve to live?

Now, Maier is back to the old question.

Are we really doing the right thing?

God...... God...... I have often said that you are my king, but I have never seen you or spoken to you.

Answer me, O God of my father Gray, am I really right in what I have done?

Is it really worth the enormous sacrifice that humanity has made for this?

Answer me, O God.

Because I don't really know what I've done.
