Chapter 316: The First Liquidation (6) Edonan's Ambitions
In the first installment of the Immortal Game, Boris was the first big winner, the Diaspora Alliance was the second biggest winner, the Forest Colonial Guard ensured the survival of his camp, and Polly paid a huge price to win, but the benefits were far less than Boris and them, so how did the Heroic Spirits of Edonan's camp go?
To sum it up in one idiom, it is that the results are remarkable.
The Heroic Spirits of Edonan's camp are the father and son of Kutu and Ramoda of Roman Hephie, who were reincarnated in Edonan's chieftain family in this life.
It should be mentioned here that compared to other countries, Edonan, as a Bourbon client state, is a relatively special country, with characteristics that are different from other countries.
Edonan is the abbreviation of the name of the country, and the full name of this country was originally called "The Union of Edonans by Grace", and see, it was not even a country.
As for how Edonan was founded, the caliber of the Bourbon Institute is quite unanimous:
In the year 904, the future 77th Governor of Bourbon, An Lu I, was in the middle of his graduation training at the Colonial Guard of Middle-earth, when he was attacked by the Aionxi barbarians, and as a result, he was separated from his classmates.
When Anlu I was about to die in the interior of the Ionxi Barbarians, he was rescued by a friendly tribe of the Ionbrook Barbarians, named Schedeler, who helped him return to the Middle-earth Colony.
So, An Lu I, who accepted the favor of this tribe, silently made a vow in his heart that when he was able to do so in the future, he would definitely come back to help this tribe.
Time flies, more than 30 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Anlu I has changed from an immature student to the 77th consul of Bourbon, at this time he finally has the ability to fulfill his vow, so he found the Schedeler tribe in 930 and sent teachers to teach the tribe, so that the tribe can enjoy the Bourbon civilization and become a civilized person like Bourbon.
Even after the departure of Anlu I, the Bourbon did not change this measure, and they still sent various nobles to guide the Aion Creek tribe, and the friendship between the two sides lasted forever. And because the brilliance of Bourbon culture shines on the world and attracts the attention of the world, more and more Ionxi barbarians abandon their barbaric way of life and gather here in Schedler to be re-educated by the Bourbons.
Thirty years later, even An Lu I had died, and the measure continued.
At this time, the tribes said that they had been educated in the Bourbon style for so long, believed in the gods of the Bourbons, created their own scripts after the Bourbon script, and established their own voices after the Bourbon phonetics, so they should be different from the rude Aionxi barbarians.
Bourbon thought this was right, and called them the Edonans, and the word Edonan was expanded to mean the obedient Aionxi people.
The tribes were thrilled to receive their names and wanted to join the Bourbon and become the people of Bourbon, but the Bourbon ancestors refused the request, believing that the Edonans were not up to the mark. However, the Bourbon ancestors did not block the road, and they helped Edonan form his own state and become a vassal state of Bourbon.
This is the part of the Bourbon literature that deals with the founding of Edonan, and the early history of Edonan itself is not documented, so no matter how unwilling they are, the Edonans can only critically believe in the idea of inheritance.
However, the Edonan people do not know, and the cold game with a system is clear.
It is true that Anlu I was rescued by the Schedrer tribe when he was killed in his early years, and it is also true that Anlu I later sent teachers to teach the Schedra tribe, but the Bourbon descendants misunderstood, or should it be said, deliberately distorted the will of the Bourbons.
Who would be so kind as to teach the barbarians to improve their civilization level? An Lu I is crazy, but the Great Palace is not crazy.
After all, this is just a trade, the client state, which means that Edonan needs to fight for Bourbon and do something that Bourbon doesn't want to do.
You know, what Bourbon is good at is the navy, and as long as there is a sea, Bourbon can put full force. In the case of the Edonan Peninsula, however, the coastal Bourbon could be put into the country, but what about the interior? Moreover, in the first few hundred years, the main targets of Bourbon development were Meiramie and Ingona in the south, and the attitude towards the north can be seen from the poor size of the northern shipping lane.
Therefore, when the General Palace did not invest enough in the north, razing and razing became the best choice for the local colonial guards, supporting the obedient Edonan tribes, giving them some garbage in the eyes of Bourbon, so that they could exterminate their barbarian compatriots, and give them the land they had fell, and the wealth would go to Bourbon.
At least as far as the majority of the Edonan people later believed, they were the main force that fought the Aionxi barbarians, and the Bourbons only needed to provide some weapons and equipment—or the Edonans would spend money to buy them, and they would be able to reap the dividends of victory.
As the Bourbon became more greedy and treated the Edonan more and more harshly, usually every time they went to fight the Eanxi people, the Edonan tribe needed to borrow money from the Bourbon to buy weapons, otherwise it would be difficult for most medium tribes to buy them.
This requires the tribe to win every war, so that it can afford to repay the Bourbon loan, if it fails, all the weak people of the tribe can only be sold into slavery, and all the heirs are deposited in the tribe of the alliance, and then pull up the members of the fighting power, and without Bourbon weapons, go to fight to the death with the Aionxi barbarians.
In addition to greed, there is also a theory that Bourbon later arose, Bourbon believed that Edonan's expansion of land was getting slower and slower, because Edonan people became comfortable and lazy after enjoying the civilization that barbarians should not enjoy, so Bourbon needed to implement policies to stimulate Edonan, so there was the above scene.
In the territory of Edonan, most of the valuable veins and curiosities are occupied by the Bourbons, and even the chiefs of the various tribes can only occupy some of the little value of the leftovers.
After such a long time, the anger of the Edonan tribe against Bourbon naturally became more and more intense, and as long as there was an opportunity, it was a sure thing to fight against Bourbon, and then Edonan did the same.
However, before that, Bourbon still held Edonan firmly in control for a long time, and this reason was because of Bourbon's policy towards Edonan.
Yes, Bourbon has improved Edonan's level of civilization, but the General Palace is not a gentleman who dreams of world harmony, and those extremely greedy parliamentarians have long guessed Edonan's future backlash, so as early as the beginning of Edonan's statehood, Bourbon planted the seeds.
This is Edonan's political system, as the name suggests, a tribal confederation of tribes formed under strong pressure from Bourbon, and despite the elevation of Edonan's civilization, Bourbon is not in the mood to elevate Edonan's political structure.
Under Bourbon's deliberate indulgence, Edonan's so-called United Chieftaincy was a position of extremely low power that required the election of the chiefs, with only nominal leadership over the tribes, the right to appoint and remove them under Bourbon supervision, and the necessary military defense support.
Faced with this situation in their homeland, the chiefs did not fail to try to salvage the situation, and the battle against Bourbon was an egg against a stone, and the chieftain's greatest resistance had been to flee with his tribe into the wilderness, and in 1402 many chiefs had united with the Aion Creek people and launched a massive rebellion.
After all, with the current situation of the scattered sand of the Ai'an Creek barbarians, it is impossible to unite so easily, and it is the chiefs who are trying to resist that thread the needle in it.
When he received a letter from Ramoda and heard that Ramoda's father had decided to join the Aionxi barbarians, Kutu was initially alarmed because it had disrupted their plans, but after calming down, Kutu realized that this was a great opportunity.
As a result, Qutu divided the work with Ramoda, with Kutu remaining within Edonan, while Ramoda followed his tribe to follow the Edonans.
After that, at the suggestion of La Moda, the Aeon Creek barbarians gradually swept away the Bourbon Middle-earth colonial guard and the overly prominent Edonan tribe with numerical superiority, while the Kutu side deliberately pretended to be inefficient due to poor coordination, so they finally received the desired gift, and the Bourbon allowed the United Edonan Chieftain to form a military organization to coordinate the tribal alliance with the Bourbon intervention army.
At this time, the United Chief of Edonan was the chief of the Schedrer tribe who had rescued Anlu I, and he was also the distant uncle of Kutu - Kutu was a branch of the Schedrer family, which was the biggest trouble in Kutu's life.
Then, Kutu "persuaded" Lamoda to defect against Ai'an Creek, and made a meritorious contribution to Edonan's suppression of the Ai'an Creek rebellion, and it was with this merit that Qutu began to walk on the stage of Edonan.
From this point on, the United Chieftain was given the power of military command, and taking advantage of this, Qutu began to gradually coordinate the armies of the various tribes, and the Bourbon, because of the subsequent gradual increase in chaos, had no energy to interfere in the affairs of Edonan, which gave Qutu an opportunity.
In 1434, when Edonan's current United Chieftaincy and weak brother of Qutu hesitated to the Bourbon proposal, Qutu threw off the Edonan Union Council and led his army to attack the Middle-earth Colony on his own, which eventually led Edonan to annex the Bourbon Colony of Middle-earth, greatly increasing Qutu's prestige.
Qutu's weak brother sensed the danger of Kutu, so he wanted to overpower his prestige, so he crossed the sea to attack the forest colonial guard, which he did not obey, and tried to win this feat, the result of this battle was also said last time, Edonan was defeated by Moxi by borrowing the advantage.
This defeat disgraced his weak brother and his prestige plummeted, so he was forced to rethrone the United Emirate a year later by Coutu, who became the 37th Edonan Edonan in 1438.
After coming to power, it took three years for Qutu to temporarily suppress the opposition and the angry clan before he began to take action against Edonan.
The first step was to get Edonan out of Bourbon and become a normal state, not a client state.
The second step is the most critical step, it is very difficult to make Edonan from a union of chiefs into a real country, and Kutu is in his sixties, but Kutu still insists on doing it, after all, if you don't do it now, it will be even more difficult to do it in the second life.
So in 1441, at the age of 61, Qutu initiated a series of forms such as the reform of the Kutu reform (i.e., reform), changing the name of the country to the land United Kingdom of Edonan, and crowning himself as the United Dictator, in an attempt to establish centralized power.
The reform was immediate - on the bad side, in 1443 Edonan broke out a civil war against the reform, Qutu did not see the end of the war, in 1448 just after the suppression of the rebels, Qutu died in assassination, as soon as Qutu's son Hephi I took office, the rebellion quickly broke out again, and the rebels tried to overturn the results of the reform.
Then, Leng Yi, who had just finished watching Maisica's pitiful encounter, couldn't help it, why do these guys always rebel, so they added a buff to Hephi I, and then Hefei I put down the second rebellion in 2 years.
It should be fortunate that the north is full of weak chickens, the big guys are not interested in the north, and Polly, the only one who can fight with Edonan, is in the post-war recovery period, and can only watch the civil strife Edonan drool, so this gives Edonan 7 free time for the civil war.
After the war, Hephi I continued to promote the policy of Kutu I and implemented centralized reforms on Edonan, while on the other hand, he put Boris on the hot face (although it was pasted on the cold ass, Boris was quite cold to Edonan, but in the end Boris chose to be neutral with Edonan), and reached a secret agreement with the forest colony to prevent a possible war with Poli.
It should be said that this method of dealing with the situation was effective, you must know that in the first Edonan War more than ten years later, it was because Boris finally rejected Polly's invitation to join the war that the desperate Polly and Edonan made unconditional peace.
Independence from Bourbon, taking Edonan from a union of chiefs to a centralized state, is what was achieved in the first game of Qutu I.
