Chapter 17 Returnee
Mayr's words had a profound impact on Sarin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past, he had been working to make the Republic of Bujin stronger, but after that, Salin had never thought about it. He felt that as long as the Ilibians continued to grow and develop, they would eventually unify the world.
After hearing about Liu Xiu, Salin began to look forward to life after the unification of the world. He heard from others that people in Liu Xiu's world could travel in a kind of vehicle that flew in the sky, and it would take months to travel on weekdays, and they could fly in a few hours. There is also a firearm that Liu Xiu has mentioned more than once, as long as the trigger is pulled, it can shoot thirty bullets in a few breaths. Salin believed that the Ilibians could easily unify the world with such firearms.
However, Meier's words made him realize that the existence of such weapons in the world is not a good thing. Salin, who has been a half-life soldier, knows that weapons are only tools of war, and once there is no war in the world, weapons will be useless. If such weapons fall into the hands of the wicked, they will become tools for killing and evil, causing great harm to society.
Salin suddenly felt that he was short-sighted. He wanted to make a change, but he didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, he felt compelled to become Mel's retinue, because he felt that only then could he change.
As everyone knows, in fact, Maier has always considered himself a short-sighted person. Although he can tell that big truth, he can't guarantee that he can do everything when he really does things, he can only take one step at a time, and sometimes he can only go with the flow.
On September 22, 134 AH, Mair, who had signed an alliance with the Republic of Bukin, prepared to leave for Byronsburg. Because the Ilibians were about to carry out reforms, the meeting of the Ilibi League was extended by a few days. When the Covenant was signed between Mair and the Republic of Bukin, the heads of the Ilibi League were present. They looked at Maier with a subtle gaze, as if they were looking at a son-in-law who was about to marry his daughter.
By the time Mel set out from Magnich, his party had grown to more than 20,000 men. The Republic of Bujin provided Mel with ample supplies and many gifts to him. The most valuable gift was not the five hundred Ilibi muskets that the Ilibians gave to Mel, but a large number of skilled men. With these talents, Meyer was able to produce the Ilibi musket at Byronsburg. In other words, the Ilibians not only gave Mel a basket of fish, but also gave him the skill of fishing.
Before leaving, He Yan Xinye said that she wanted to play in Magnone for a few more days, and asked He Yan Zhiheng to accompany her. He Yan Zhiheng couldn't resist his sister, so he could only stay with her. Maier worries about the safety of the two and wants to leave them with a guard, but Yan Xinye resolutely refuses. In desperation, Maier could only go and say hello to the leaders of the Bujin Republic, hoping that they could take care of the Heyan brothers and sisters, and the heads of the Bujin Republic gladly agreed.
On 5 October, Meyer returned to Byronsburg. Before returning, Maier had sent someone to inform the decision-making committee in Bairensburg about the immigration from Ilibi. Of these Ilibian immigrants, about 5,000 were the children of the heads and elites of the Ilibian nations, and they came to Meir, so they must have lived in Byronsburg. Some of the rest of the people are scientific researchers, and they need to be protected, so they have to come to Byrensburg as well.
Nami Lodge carved out an area along the River of Hope for these Ilibi immigrants to establish a settlement here. As for those who had to live in Byronsburg, Nami Lodge had wanted to build another settlement south of Byronsburg, but she found that the available space around Byrons had become scarce, and the planned area simply could not accommodate that many people.
At this time, Nami finally noticed the wooden walls of Byron Castle. The defensive capacity of these wooden enclosures was low, and at the moment its only role in the Byronsburg was to separate the interior from the exterior of the Byronsburg. In the beginning, there was a shortage of labor in Byrensburg, and it took a long time to tear down the wooden walls, so Nami Lodge kept the walls.
Now that Byronsburg has sufficient labor, it will take only half a month to tear down these walls. With Meier's permission, Nami Lodge began to dismantle the wooden walls and transport the usable timber to where it was needed for reuse.
By the time Mel returned to Byronsburg, the walls had been completely demolished. In this way, Byrensburg was connected to the Westgate Market, and Nami Lodge took the opportunity to build houses between Byrensburg and Westgate Market, and officially incorporated the Westgate Market into the city limits of Byrensburg.
Due to the demolition of various fortifications, after the loss of the city walls, Byrensburg has completely lost its appearance to the word "castle". The members of the decision-making committee believe that Byrensburg already has a town-level settlement and a quasi-town-level settlement with a population of more than 600,000. If in this case, the name of the force is still called Byronsburg, it will give people a particularly weak feeling.
Moreover, from the very beginning, Byronsburg was not the official name of the power, and when Maier signed the alliance with the Republic of Bukin, he did not use the name of the power of Byronsburg, but signed an alliance with the Republic of Bujin purely in his own name. Unlike the republican Republic of Bukin, as the de facto ruler of the Byrensburg forces, Maier himself can represent the entire power, and there is no need to specify the name of the power.
But there was a downside to this: once Mair was no longer the de facto ruler of the power, the power's alliance with the Republic of Bukin would end. However, the Republic of Bujin had formed an alliance with the Byrensburg forces for the sake of Mehr's face, and if Mer lost Byrensburg for some irresistible reason, they would happily take Mehr to their own country and give him a suitable position, such as chief consul or something.
Immediately after Meier's return to Byronsburg, the decision-making committee convened an impromptu meeting to finalize the official names of the forces. The family name "Byrons" must be used as a prefix for the name of the power, so the next thing to do is to determine the suffix.
Mel is a Leiting, and the most populous race in Byronsburg is also a Leitin. Before the establishment of the Leiting Wizards Guild system, the Leiting government was very similar to the Mingji people of the theocracy. It's just that the Letin people don't have prophets, and the Letin magicians are used as the spokesmen of the gods to rule over the common people. The Ryding Wizards would form a council, and the actual ruler of the council was the "President of the Council", and after the establishment of the Ryding Wizards Guild system, the Ryding Wizards retained the title of "President".
The name of the Lytin faction during the parliamentary era has no suffix, for example, the Bright Wizards Guild was called "Bright" during the parliamentary era. If Myr wanted to name the faction in the manner of the parliamentary era, then "Byrons" would be called the official name of the faction. As a result, people would say "how is Byron how" when referring to Myr's power, and Mel felt that this was too shameful and vetoed the proposal.
Since Meir's territory was not a republic, and the people did not want to change the form of government at present, the government of the Ilibians, the second most populous of the people, could not be used, and the "Republic of Byrons" certainly could not be born.
Meier's territory was built on the territory of Hara Satoya Shrine, which was an Iraa faction. There are two high-level administrative units of the Ira people, which are the prefecture and the state. However, whether it is a county or a country, they all have a number, and they must be subordinate to each other in accordance with legal principles. In order to establish a new country or prefecture, the consent of Emperor Ira was required, and the same was true for the change of subordination.
Although Meier's strength has skyrocketed, it is still far from the national administrative unit of Ira, and is a county at best. Although Kamijin County, which borders Meier's domain, is an autonomous force, it was the de jure territory of the Yongshan Province and was protected by the Yongshan Province until Wei Lin pledged allegiance to the Xiaohu family. Therefore, Kamijin County is only autonomous, not independent. And Meier's force is an independent force, and when there is already a Shangjin County next door, Meier definitely can't name the force "Byron County", so it is better to continue to call it "Byrensburg".
The Tairong people named their forces after their families, such as the "Xiaohu family" and the "Laixiang family". If Mel named his faction the way the Tajon people did, then his faction would be the "House of Byrons". However, this naming gives the impression of aristocratic authority, and Myer's realm is not an aristocratic domain, so the name cannot be used.
In the end, only the naming of the Dugu people remained. The independent forces of the Tugu people, regardless of their strength, would call themselves "kingdoms". Everyone thought about it and felt that it could only be named like this. But then Maier became king, and the title became high. Maier was a little uncomfortable with the change, so he put the issue on hold for the time being, and planned to discuss it later.
With more than 20,000 people in the territory at once, Byronsburg's development plans had to be adjusted. Seeing that Maier had returned with a large number of immigrants once he went out, Nami felt that it was necessary for him to reserve a certain amount of space for a large number of immigrants when he was planning for Byronsburg. Since then, Nami Layman's plans for the development of the Byrensburg influence have been based on the premise that "there may be a large number of immigrants in the future".
Nami Layman's fears soon came to mind. In mid-October, a large number of Ira people fled from the settlements of Kamijin Prefecture to the controlled area of Byronsburg. By early November, the total number of refugees in Ira had exceeded 30,000.
Although Wei Lin took refuge in the Xiaohu family, the debt owed by Shangjin County to the Republic of Bujin will not be erased because of this. The Ira people in Kamijin Prefecture were already extremely dissatisfied with Wei Lin's defection to foreigners, and Wei Lin's wanton expropriation in order to repay debts made the Ira people in the prefecture miserable.
Before mid-October, there were scattered Ira people who came to Byrensburg, but their total number was only three or four thousand. These people came to Byrensburg for the simple reason that they wanted a better life. Now Wei Lin has taken refuge in the aliens, and Shangjin County has also become the territory of the Xiaohu family. Anyway, they are all going to be ruled by aliens, and instead of suffering in Kamijin County, it is better to come to the newly developed Byrensburg to take a look, and maybe you can still have a full meal here.
Nami settlers placed them in migrant camps where they mixed with the Letin people – by the way, rations were abolished in the camps at the beginning of July, and those who did not work and had no savings had nothing to eat. Some of them felt that life here was much better than when they were in Shangjin County, so they quietly returned to Shangjin County to bring their relatives and friends over. When people heard that Byronsburg did not collect taxes and that they could eat as long as they were willing to work, they were immediately moved.
Then there was a large-scale refugee flow in Shangjin County, and Wei Lin could not stop the army. Some of the soldiers who had not been paid for several months had even fled directly to the controlled area of Byronsburg with the influx of refugees, much to the annoyance of Welling. He wrote to Wei Xu to send troops to kill the refugees who wanted to escape, but Wei Xu did not follow his orders.
Wei Lin's defection to the Xiaohu family made Wei Xu very cold, and he felt that Wei Lin had abandoned Shangjin County, so he secretly decided to break with Wei Lin. After that, Wei Xu began to secretly contact the Elt Kingdom, hoping to let Shangjin County break away from the Xiaohu family and return to the rule of the Yongshan Kingdom with the help of the Elt Kingdom.
The Elt Kingdom quickly replied to Wei Xu, and King Ert said that as long as Wei Xu had the ability to defeat Wei Lin and become the actual ruler of the Wei family, the Elt Kingdom could politically deter the Xiaohu family. If the Xiaohu family insists on starting a war with Shangjin County, then the Elt Kingdom will declare war on the Xiaohu family.
King Ayrt's reply gave Wei Xu great confidence. Although Wei Lin has lost his heart, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and Wei Xu's strength is not enough to compete with him, so he must lie dormant for a period of time, and only after he grows and grows can he compete with Wei Lin head-on.
After Wei Lin gave Wei Xu an order to massacre the refugees, Wei Xu wrote back to Wei Lin that there were also many refugees in Limi City, and he was now too busy to take care of himself and could not send troops to help him slaughter the refugees. In desperation, Wellin had to do it himself.
In early November, Welin ordered martial law throughout the territory. He deployed his descendants outside the Byronsburg-controlled area, and would kill the Ira on the spot if he saw them heading for Byronsburg, even businessmen who were going to do business. Under the deterrence of Wei Lin's butcher's knife, the flow of refugees in Shangjin County finally stopped.
However, the seeds of hatred that have been planted in the hearts of the people of Shangjin County, when the seeds take root and sprout and break through the ground, Wei Lin, the county leader of Shangjin County, will also be at the end.
