Chapter 63: Historical Secrets

Queen Nellis nodded and replied, "I don't hide it from Miss Lin, mainly because of the message of the Holy Maiden." In the last words left by the first saintess, it was clearly instructed that if the two groups encountered the crisis of extermination, or had a conflict with Huaguo that was difficult to reconcile, they would go to Jicheng, the former federal capital, to find the heir of the inheritor, Ms. Tang You, and ask for help.

Since the inheritance of the saints on the two tribes is always female, we take it for granted that Ms. Tang's inheritor should also be female. Therefore, I took the liberty of inviting female federal officials to come here. ”

"Tang You is a lady? Sorry, because a lot of historical materials were lost when the federal capital was moved 350 years ago, the preservation of federal historical materials before 250 years of the new calendar is very incomplete. This is the first time I have heard Ms. Tang's name. Moreover, there is no such thing as a successor in the history books of the Federation. ”

A hint of regret appeared on Nellis's face, but the intact aristocratic etiquette allowed her to recover quickly, "It's okay, I believe the authenticity of these materials can be confirmed soon." Even if no descendants of Ms. Tang can be found, it is believed that it will not affect the return of the two races to the Federation. ”

Lin Zhenna thought for a moment and replied: "Personally, I don't see any problems with the information. Perhaps, after the conclusion of the negotiations, we can ask our Governor, Secretary Yu Bule, to take a look at him, who is himself a well-known scholar of the Federation, and his teacher is Mr. Wu Jingzhong, the most famous historian of the Federation. Maybe he can help confirm the authenticity of the documents, and maybe even know about Ms. Tang You. ”

"Mr. Wang Min also mentioned your director, and I am more curious about this person when you say this."

"If you have the opportunity, you must recommend the princess."

"Thank you, Miss Lin, let's get back to business. May I? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

A gust of mountain wind blew, and a few pear petals flew and landed on Nellis's blonde hair, and she raised her hand to arrange her hair, and by the way, she sorted out her thoughts:

"Gossamer lingers in the smoke ring. The east wind does not blow away, and it should be protected from the cold. I like to read ancient poems the most, but unfortunately I have never seen the scenery of the south, but this time I was fortunate to see the beginning of the chanting of the ancient sages. ”

"The quality should not add color, and it is not economical to know that the creation is not economical." Liu Renna, who was standing quietly next to her, suddenly interjected and said:

"Your Excellency is indeed knowledgeable. Such obscure words are also understood. If we hadn't happened to read it not long ago, we from the Commonwealth would have been ridiculed for being short-minded. However, Liangzhou is northern, and the pear blossoms bloom late. In fact, in the south, the pear blossoms are clear after the tune, and it is already spring at this time,"

"Doctor Zhou is also good at poetry?"

"When I need to work, I often look through ancient books and learn some ancient ...... Medical book," Liu Renna replied with a smile. "The princess has a beautiful demeanor, and Zhou Wen hopes to end the discussion soon, so that he can diagnose and treat the princess and communicate by the way."

Nylis looked at Liu Renna, a smile appeared on her lips, and she bowed her head slightly: "It's Nellis, it's not off-topic again." Miss Lin, our royal ministry intercepted the Byzantine mission before. Regardless of the identity of the mission, I have read the surrender of the mission.

The main content is roughly four: first, surrender to the Federation, admit defeat and bear the responsibility for defeat; second, to incorporate into the Confederation, disband the tribal armies, and allow the Confederation to garrison; Third, it will become an independent state of the Federation, tentatively named the Western State and the Northern State, and accept the joint leadership of the Federation; Fourth, the tribes will remain unchanged from their existing dependencies, and after a transition of 30 years, they will be elected by the federation and the federal legal system will be implemented. I wonder if there is a mistake in what I have briefly said, ladies and gentlemen, in my briefing? ”

It is impossible for the two sides not to negotiate such a big matter as the merger of the two barbarian clans into the federation, and the agreement has actually been negotiated back and forth for several months. As the special operations team of the hijacking incident, the six girls of course also read the agreement that had been initialled by the two sides on the way to and from Liangzhou.

Lin Zhenna straightened up, "Your Excellency Lady Wang is quick to think, so naturally she will not be mistaken. I don't know what suggestions Wang Nu has to modify the content of the agreement? ”

"Since Miss Lin is so open and honest, then I will be blunt. First, I think it should be abolished. Including the Golden Horde. The two countries were originally part of the Federation, and the two hundred years of war belonged to the civil war of the Federation under the lack of information, and there was no such thing as a victorious country and a defeated country. Don't know Miss Lin's opinion? ”

"I personally agree with this, but it needs the approval of an authorized representative of the government. Princess, please continue. ”

"The second article, agreeing to implement, suggests that the Federation can absorb some knight families into the federal army, after all, these people have fought as knights for generations and have no other means of livelihood."

"There is no problem with this one, I believe that the military department will consider it comprehensively."

"Third, our ministry has no objection. The focus is on article 4, and I propose not to retain the 30-year transition period. Again, the two countries were originally part of the Federation, and the laws of the Federation should have been enforced. The historical record of the royal court is relatively complete, in fact, before the kingdoms of Europa and American, the laws implemented were very close to the federal laws.

However, after becoming a kingdom, the legal framework was constantly revised on the basis of feudal centralization, and it evolved into the current law. So my opinion is to abolish the 30-year transition period, abolish the aristocracy of Byzantium and the Golden Horde, and directly implement the federal three-people's system.

It is well known that the tribes of Byzantium and the Golden Horde kept a large number of slaves and servants, and the nobility also enjoyed a large number of privileges. Since we were part of the federation in the first place, and history has proven that the federal system is superior to the royal system, there is no need for the aristocracy to continue to exist.

The existing nobles and knights were originally in charge of warfare and could be classified as military and civilian, and the rest of the people could be liberated as freemen at once. It is also said that the Confederation intends to continue the emancipation of slaves. In the major ethnic tribes of the two countries, 90% of the population is slaves and can be emancipated, so the nobles who are not willing to lose their privileges, but less than 1%, cannot afford to make any trouble. ”

Looking at the smiling Queen Nellis, Lin Zhenna was a little confused. Because instead of amending the previous agreement for the benefit of the royal family and the guardian clan, the princess greatly reduced the privileges of the previous tribes.

"Your Excellency, your kindness is admirable. But ......"

"Political factors, Miss Lin, please don't worry, I have considered it. It is nothing more than a question of food and resettlement. This time I brought with me maps of Byzantium and the Golden Horde, which have been kept by successive saints. It indicates the location of a large number of mineral deposits in both countries.

The emancipated serf federation could recruit and hire a large number of people to develop industrial and mining industries. The two countries have vast land and sparse populations, comparable to the federal Jiaozhou and Yangzhou. At present, the population is less than 8 million, Byzantium accounts for nearly 6 million, and the population of the Golden Horde is less than 2 million.

There were also cities in both countries, but it was only because the bitter cold land was not suitable for cultivation that the nomadic custom of living together was formed.

Moreover, even serfs still have a small amount of private property of cattle and horses, and as long as the federation can guarantee a small shortage of grain, salt and oil, it will quickly appease the grassroots people of the two countries.

The knightly class, which suffered considerable losses in the war. As the most powerful knight tribe in Byzantium, the royal guards had a population of more than 10,000 households and hundreds of thousands of armor when they were strong, and now only a few thousand people remain. There are no more than 5,000 knight families in the entire Byzantium, and there are only more than 20 nobles left, most of whom are self-appointed nobles from the bottom of the knights.

Even if their privileges were abolished, the nobles and knights still owned a large number of pastures, fiefdoms, countless cattle, horses and sheep, and controlled 90% of the private property of the two countries. Hiring freedmen or buying some serfs again was not a problem for them at all.

Although the royal court no longer has a binding effect on the tribes, I have passed the test mission of the Holy Maiden and have won the support of the church. With the support of Bishop Franky, there are two countries, forgive me for saying this, I should say that it is the support of the vast majority of the people of both communities. So I think the Federation should be able to accept it. ”

Lin Zhenna said with a straight face: "No, no, I'm not worried that Her Royal Highness will oppose Her Royal Highness's suggestion, but I can't imagine why Her Royal Highness took such a strange risk, did not hesitate to invade the territory of the Federation, intercept the Byzantine mission, and offer conditions that are beneficial to the Federation and not beneficial to the nobles?" ”

"Miss Lin also knows that I am basically equal to the three positions of Byzantium, the Golden Horde, and the Church. I am doing this for the sake of the two countries and for the royal family. ”

"Why?"

At this time, Grand Duke Larante, who had never spoken, opened his mouth next to him: "Her Royal Highness has completed the task of inheriting the saintess, not only entering the inheritance land to find the handwriting of the previous generation of saints, but also finding the truth of the Three Kingdoms War, which should not be the truth of the war between the three clans." ”

Bishop Franky also spoke: "In the notes of the saints of the past, the princess found out that when the Golden Horde and the Confederation discovered each other, the royal family and the holy women of the Byzantine and the Golden Horde knew the identity of the Confederation. Although it is not clear why the Byzantine and Golden Horde were not known to the Commonwealth, the Holy Maiden at the time informed the royal families of both families.

It was the royal family who ruled for their own imperial power, ignoring the obstruction of the saint and not contacting the Federation, and resolutely began to plunder the Federation, which eventually led to a full-scale war. ”

Bishop Frankie is already around 90 years old, especially the martial arts inheritance of the two races is not as good as the Federation, and the lifespan is far less than that of the Federation. After calming down a little, he continued:

"Her Majesty Finitis, the tenth virgin at that time, left the Holy See in 431 in a bad mood and entered the Confederation with two alternate saints in search of His Excellency the Inheritor, but did not return. Therefore, it led to the severance of the Holy See's martial arts lineage. The Holy See, which has lost its military heritage, is even more powerless to restrain the royal families of both races. ”

Frankie's cloudy eyes revealed a thick sense of unwillingness and powerlessness.

"But in the annals of the Federation, there has never been a foreign race...... I beg your pardon for the wording, you say that the Holy Maiden of Phenetis entered the Federation with two Virgin Candidates. After all, the racial difference between the nobility and the Federation is so obvious, it shouldn't have left a record. Lin Zhenna said.

Franky said slowly: "Actually, the Holy See has not had an official saint 70 years ago. Because from the first Virgin Larry. Plum. From the very beginning, Amanda had stipulated that the saint must be a person of Chinese descent.

Therefore, every saint in the church must be a descendant of Chinese descent with black hair and black eyes. And the Chinese blood tribes in the place where the saint inherits are only the three branches of the first saint, the Lee clan, the Luo clan, and the lu clan. After four hundred years of mixed blood, the bloodlines have become increasingly thin, and the ten generations of saints have taken away two branches of two alternate saints, which is even worse.

Add to that the constant invasion of the bloodlines of the Golden Horde, the Byzantine royal family.

In 70 years ago 14 generations of St. Chrissy. Gauze. After Nathan's crown, there is no longer a black-haired and black-eyed heiress in the Land of Inheritance who meets the requirements. So now, even if Queen Nylith completes the inheritance task, she can't get the title of saint. ”
