Chapter 1193: The Truth? No, there's actually more!
Is history fake?
Well, it's exciting, but it's not particularly unexpected.
In fact, many times people's understanding of history is through the record of words, and if the person who writes the text brings in more subjective emotions, then there will be some deviations in history.
And the history in everyone's eyes is different, just like the royal family poisoned the prince, in the eyes of the royalists, it was the prince who defiled the queen, the queen was chaste, and finally poisoned the prince.
But in the eyes of others, it was a murder full of conspiracy, and the royal family's purpose was to remove all the princes and dukes in the empire, so they seduced the prince through the queen and poisoned him.
Different emotions, different angles, different positions, and the history written are all different.
But the history involved this time is not much more recent, it happened 30 years ago.
In Mags's description, if it weren't for the Federation's invasion war, the current empire might not have been what it is now.
At that time, the royal family had begun to decay, and the nobles were content with pleasure, even if there was no interference from external forces, once the internal backlog of contradictions completely exploded, it was very likely that the empire would be divided into many forces.
However, the fateful war was always fought, and the reason for the outbreak was the large population base of the conquered peoples within the empire.
The Shining Star Empire conquered the Guert Dynasty and conquered the Provincial Ya Dynasty, and only their soldiers were eliminated in the war, and there was no large-scale massacre of ordinary people, which made the population of Ogding in the Shining Star Empire only account for about 50% of the total population.
This is a very dangerous phenomenon, and once someone stands up and leads the Guartes and the provincial Ya people to resist the Empire, the inevitable civil war will definitely break out.
At the same time, a number of Fuguo organizations are active in remote areas, persuading the Guartes and Provincial Ya to join the corresponding Fuguo organizations and engage in military activities under the slogan of restoring the country.
The upper echelons of the empire have been aware of these problems and troubles, and even if they have sent troops to encircle and suppress these organizations many times, the effect is very limited.
Some things, such as thoughts, are like an invisible seed of thought, which spreads with the wind, and once it is buried in people's hearts, it can no longer be stopped from taking root and sprouting.
Hatred and hostility between ethnic groups, contradictions and differences between classes, and the constant activities of a handful of careerists eventually affected the situation of the entire empire.
Unbeknownst to the people, the three governors and some nobles had made a secret agreement to divide the four southern states of the empire from the empire and create a new state free of oppression and exploitation more in line with the hopes of the defeated groups at the bottom of society.
With a civil war about to break out and the empire to be torn apart, the Federation has begun to invade after a high-level council.
No one could have imagined that the two neighboring powers, where even a little friction would end quickly after more than a hundred years of peace and quiet, would suddenly start a war.
The Confederation took the lead in waging war without any diplomatic notice, invading the south from the south, and in order to achieve its goal, the Empire cut off communications and communications from the south and other regions, leaving the federal army to wipe out those who tried to rebel.
However, they miscalculated, and when the Federation found that they could easily defeat the Imperial Army, a great ambition began to grow in the hearts of the Federation.
If the empire is so weak, why don't we continue to fight?
It may not be long before the Federation has the opportunity and possibility to unify the entire continent.
Tempted by such huge interests, the Federalists were the first to violate the agreement with the Empire and continue to wage wars of aggression.
Someone in the empire proposed to take advantage of this opportunity to solve the current problems between ethnic groups and classes in the empire, and a special war began.
A large number of Guartes and provincial Ya people were sent to the battlefield, and the battlefield became a meat grinder.
Think about it, how can ordinary people who were busy looking for jobs all day long to fill their bellies a week ago be the opponents of those professional soldiers who were thrown into battle after just a few days of training?
Even if one or two gifted people understand how to fight a war, their numbers will never affect the outcome of the entire war.
Just as the princes and ministers needed, a large number of the conquered peoples were killed and wounded in the war, and the total population of the empire was almost reduced by a third, of course the vast majority of them were Guartes and provincial peoples, with only a few Ogdins.
When the royal family and the royal ministers decided that the heat was about the same, they mobilized the real Imperial Guards and the Rose Legion, and set up an ambush near the city of Otis, waiting for the Federation Vanguard Legion, which had fallen into a frenzy and lost its mind, to rush headlong.
In history and truth as people know, the reason why the Union forces were ultimately defeated was because the Empire's sparse transportation prevented their logistics from keeping up with the advance of the vanguard corps.
In fact, this is only one factor, not the whole story, and going too deep will not directly affect the victory or defeat of the war in a short period of time.
The real reason is that the Imperial Royal Knights bypassed the battle line and threatened the security of the hinterland of the Federation from the side line, when the main force of the Federation was exhausted, thinking that it would overthrow the empire with the strength of the whole country, and the interior was empty, with only a few new legions that had just been formed.
After multiple considerations, everyone finally came to the negotiating table and ended the war.
Although the war was over, the problem was not solved, and the weakness shown by the imperial military made more nobles see the opportunity.
Under the pretext that the royal family could no longer guarantee the interests of the empire and all the nobles, they intended to start a war to overthrow the entire royal family.
In this world, the royal family did not play the role of a real ruler for a long time, they were just the strongest and largest family of the aristocracy, and people did not have a fear of the royal family from faith, culture, and inheritance.
The northern aristocracy, in collusion with the barbarians on the snowy field, gathered a large number of troops to prepare to seize power in the south, and if they did cause this civil war, it is very likely that the Federation, which is still in the process of withdrawing, will launch a brazen war of aggression again.
In addition, although the contradictions in society have been reduced, other problems have erupted, and the public, mainly the Ogdings, believe that the incompetence of the royal family and the aristocracy has caused the fall of the glory of the empire.
Even the Federation people who have always been looked down on by them can almost hit the imperial capital, and the current royal family and nobles are rotten, if these people are allowed to control the empire and control the fate of everyone, they are likely to become slaves of the Federation people.
Some careerists also stood up and wanted to revolt under the slogan of eliminating the incompetent aristocracy and the royal family and leaving the populace in control of their own destiny.
So the noble group led by Magus came up with a very reasonable and effective method, and carried out the plan with the unanimous consent of several important participants, while Her Highness tried to delay them as much time as possible and confront the rebels in the north.
He quickly stood up and overthrew the rule of the royal family, forced the royal family to hand over the scepter representing power, and then established a new rule and absorbed a large number of elites from the common class into the new party, forming a new party cabinet.
In his speech "Be Your Own Master", he denounced the rotten system of the empire and the oppression of the people by the aristocracy, and announced that the aristocracy would be abolished forever from that day on.
During that time, similar slogans and slogans filled the streets, with slogans such as "Be your own master" and "Everyone is equal" that swept through the empire like a virus.
The abolition of the aristocracy, the abolition of classes, and the happiness of everyone, as the world described in the story has appeared before people's eyes, and more importantly, Maggs announced that he would adopt an electoral system to produce the de facto ruler of the empire.
And the right to vote, which would be given to all the citizens of the empire, who could change the ruler when they thought it was inappropriate, was a terrible electoral system that shocked even many careerists.
This drastic change immediately eliminated most of the problems in society, quelled a bottom-up unrest, and at the same time due to the withdrawal of the royal family from the political stage, the emergence of Maggs, as a great northern nobleman, as the prime minister, and the electoral system.
The rebel nobles in the north felt that they would not have a chance to sit in that position, and if they continued to fight now, it would not be a war with the royal family, but a war with another group of great nobles.
The nobles may not be afraid of war with the royal family, but they are not willing to go to war with other nobles, everyone knows each other, once the war is involved, they may not be able to win or lose for more than ten years.
A war solved many problems, and Mags, as a representative of the new era, became the most re-elected prime minister and cabinet chief in the empire.
What people know is always only a small part of this world, just like in this empire now, there is not only one, but several people who can really call the shots.
There are even people from the royal family involved, and in order to solve the crisis that may involve the subversion of the imperial family and the destruction of the country, the royal family is willing to cede power without waging a war, so in the new power structure, there will inevitably be the participation of the royal family.
It's just that in the past thirty years, the royal family, which could be said to be one of the dominant powers, has gradually ranked lower, and Mags has jumped up and become the real dominant.
After all, he represents a new era and eliminates the possibility of losing the country, and no one is more suitable for this position than him.
"Now, I'm going to have you join this real core Game of Thrones, and of course you don't need to rush, you still have something to do!"
