Chapter 336: Warlock Dawn (8) The Rebellion of the Southern Boutu Founding Rebellion
In 1556 A.D., with the support of Boris and Poli, the Southern Boutu people of the Lower Edonan Peninsula launched a rebellion against Edonan, centered on Garaben. The rebellion was unprecedented, sweeping across the eastern coast of the peninsula within a few months, restoring almost the territory of the former Bourbon Middle-earth colony and leaving Edonan in a state of disarray.
Gross Anwar had been involved in the beginning of the rebellion, but due to an accident, the secrets of his body were discovered, so Gross was called to Alexia to be questioned by the "Dove", where Gross confirmed his previous suspicion that the "Dove" was not a person, but an organization.
To Gross's surprise, the "dove" is not only an organization, but also a century-old organization, which is said to be a secret organization formed by the second consul of Boris, Hades I, before he took office, and has been in Boris for more than 100 years.
This is actually the reason why Gross is a foreigner, if it is a person from the Boris country, as long as he reaches a certain status, he will know that the country has an organization called "dove", which seems to have official support.
But because the organization never came out of Boris, there was little that the outsiders knew, at least not at the level that Gross had before. And in this rebellion of the Edonan South Poutu, it was the first time that the "dove" group extended its hand abroad.
Gross was summoned to Alexia to be questioned by a descendant of Hades I, a director of the dove, also named Hades. Luckily, during the cross-examination, the director was unexpectedly talkative and did not imprison Gross, which put Gross at ease.
However, it is not at no cost to be able to come out, Hades made Gross a peripheral member of the "dove", and accepted the orders of the "dove": first, not to disclose the information that he is a member of the "dove", and second, to go to Edonan to observe the mercenary's ideological dynamics, and report to his superiors regularly every month.
Hades promised that as long as Gross joins the "dove", Hades will definitely arrange a relaxed and decent job for Gross's relatives in Lalicas, so that his relatives can live a comfortable life in Boris. Gross knew that Hades was hiding that his relatives were already in the hands of the "dove", and it was best not to think about it.
After Gross agreed to Hades' request, he asked for a trip back to Lalicas, after all, he had been out for a few years. Hearing this, Hades readily agreed, but warned Gross not to tell his family that he was a member of the "dove" before leaving.
Looking at Gross's departing figure, a member of the "dove" next to Hades asked uneasily: "Director Hades, is it okay to let him leave like this?" he is very ......" The man pondered for a moment the appropriate adjective, and after a long time he spat out the next word, "Unstable, and the devil doesn't say ......"
"Anyway, the devil just told us not to kill him, and didn't say that he wanted to get rid of him, I'm not like those Bourbon cowards, I don't want anything to be delivered, it's a waste" When he said this, Hades's eyes flashed with an indescribable light.
Gros had no idea what Hades and the others were talking about, and after leaving Alexia, he returned to Lalicas by boat to see his relatives again.
Hades's promise worked, and now his son Anwar has become a post inspector, inspecting the goods in circulation in the post station, with a decent ease and good pay.
After Gross returned, Anwar advised Gross to live out his old age, but Gross just shook his head and did not give an affirmative answer, and the relationship between father and son fell into a cold war again, and there was nothing to be done by other family members. Gross stayed at home for 3 days before leaving again, and he needed to return to Edonan to fulfill his duties.
In Gross's view, the rebellion of the South Poutu people was simply an egg hitting a stone, and if it were not for the desperate blood transfusion of Polly and Boris behind his back, Edonan would only need 1 year to put down the rebellion of the South Poutu.
You must know that Edonan's army is a real army, and the three-plank axe is very skillful, and the so-called army of the South Poutu people can't even beat the mercenaries like Gross, and they don't know what a long-range attack is, a melee charge, and a side-spin volley of cavalry, all in a few blind fights.
Thus, although the eastern seaboard, centered on the Garaben, was in ruin during the first few months of the rebellion, the tide of the war began to take a turn for the worse when the Edonans recovered and replaced their incompetent commander with a prince named Kutu Schedler.
Taking advantage of the low organization of the rebel army in South Poutu, Prince Kutu lured the rebels, who were already proud of their successive victories, out of the fortified city walls with a few seductions, and confronted Edonan's army in the field, only to suffer his first crushing defeat.
After this defeat, instead of learning from the lesson and raising vigilance, the rebels in South Poutu became furious and gathered the main force to destroy Prince Kutu's army.
Prince Kutu fought and retreated, led the rebels of Nanpo Utu with the rhythm, and soon entered the site chosen by Prince Kutu, the Hulaisi Forest to the west of Huda, where the Battle of Hulaisi Forest broke out.
The Battle of Hulaisi Forest took place in 1567 in the Great Calendar, in order to annihilate the main force of Edonan's army in this battle, the rebels of South Poutu not only mobilized a large number of their own troops, but also gathered many mercenaries, and Gross was one of the mercenaries who were mobilized.
Before the war began, Gross sensed that something was wrong, knowing that he was on a combat mission in Tanidin in the north before he was called, and that it would take a very long distance to get to Huda, so Gross felt that something was wrong at the first time. Unfortunately, the military order was like a mountain, and Gross had to carry it out, and he was incorporated into the Tanidin mercenary corps.
However, Gross did not see the process of the battle, because by the time Gros's Tanidin mercenary army arrived in Huda, the battle of Hulaisi Forest had already been fought, and Prince Kutu came to encircle and send reinforcements, and was killing a large number of Poutu troops with a small number of troops, and directly collided with Gross's army.
If Gross's legion was an army with strict military orders, maybe it would be able to stop the rout, but unfortunately what kind of military discipline does a group of mercenaries talk about? Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that Gross is still far from the rout, so he can run away without a hitch.
The Battle of Hulaisi Forest, which ended in a crushing defeat for the rebels in South Poutu, made Kutu Schedeler famous on the Edonan Peninsula, and many boasted of his ancestral abilities, Kutu Schedeler, who was rumored to have all but secured the position of the next United Dictator of Edonan.
And the impact on the rebels in South Poutu is also very great, there are not many people in South Poutu, and after this fiasco, the backbone was broken and went to the restriction defense. Moreover, Boris and Polly didn't even bother to cover it up, and took advantage of this fiasco to hold them accountable, removing the other party's command and letting the military adviser directly command the rebellion.
In the months that followed, the rebels in South Poutu lost all their inland land, retreated back to the coast, and remained in the city to refrain from going out, and it was the turn of Edonan's army to wax.
Sieges are useless, coastal cities have harbors, and those ports are daily "pirate ships" carrying large numbers of supplies and new mercenaries to support the rebels in South Poutu, and the supplies are enough to keep the rebels to the ground. In other words, if Edonan wants to take down these cities, he must deal with these pirate ships.
Unfortunately, Edonan didn't have a navy, so he could only watch the pirate ship draw small circles.
Prince Kutu was not without effort, he once launched a fierce attack on Likufu, and finally captured Likufu at a great price, but within a few days of the capture, the sea area of Likufu appeared in the figure of a pirate ship, ready to attack at any time after the withdrawal of Edonan's army.
For more than a year, Gross was mainly responsible for defending the city in Galaben, and occasionally Prince Kutu would send some troops to liven up Garaben.
Then, another month later, Prince Kutu's commander-in-chief was removed, and Edonan was replaced with a new commander. Hearing the news, Gross felt that this was really pitiful, thinking that a few years ago, Prince Kutu was hailed as the heir to the next dictatorial United Network, and the world is changing so fast.
The opponent's 3rd commander-in-chief softened his attitude a lot, and sent an envoy to secretly come to the peace talks, which was still known because Gross was a peripheral member of the "dove". However, as far as follow-up news is concerned, the talks between the two sides collapsed, because the rebels in South Poutu demanded an independent state based on the territory of the Colonial Guard of Middle-earth, which Edonan could not tolerate.
The 3rd commander was not as difficult as Prince Kutu, who always tried to harass the rebel city from time to time, and at one point everyone was afraid to go by land, but only by sea, but fortunately Prince Kutu had been removed.
When the war eased, Gross returned to Lalicas, and talked to his grandson about Edonan, talking about Edonan's white jade, Edonan's rain, and Edonan's strange scenery, and said that his grandson was extremely envious, and said that when he grew up, he would become a mercenary, and go to strange lands like his grandfather.
Hearing his grandson's childish words, Gross could only smile bitterly, if it weren't for the compulsion of life, who would want to be a mercenary licking blood on the tip of a knife?
After a short break, Gross was recalled to Garaben. New news came again, the 3rd commander-in-chief was removed again, and Prince Kutu became the commander again, at first everyone laughed and said, Prince Kutu is just like that, even if he is strong, can he conjure up the navy?
Then the rebels in South Poutu cried.
This time Kutu came with unprecedented determination, and he began to practice a strategy of avoiding the sea. The so-called strategy of avoiding the sea is to open up the coast, and after taking a town, destroy all the docks and force all the inhabitants to be relocated, so as to avoid Edonan's disadvantage at sea.
And because of Kutu's strategy of avoiding the sea, the century-old cities of La Manca, Likufu, Genni, and Kadoman have been ruthlessly destroyed, just like the General Assembly Palace in Gross's hometown.
Under this strategy of Prince Kutu, the rebels of Nanboutu panicked, and a large number of refugees poured into Garaben, which soon overwhelmed Garabon.
Is Prince Qutu going to win? That was the conjecture of everybody at the time.
The result - "Daddy, Daddy, help!" Seeing that they were going to fight, the rebels of South Poutu did not hesitate to ask Boris and Polly for help, in order not to let the investment go down the drain, the two countries finally tore all the fig leaf and ended up in person.
In 1561 A.D., Boris and Poli issued the Declaration of Boris and Polly on Edonan's South Boutu, claiming that if Edonan did not agree with the demands of the moderate South Poutu, that is, to agree to the autonomy of the South Poutu, then the two countries would implement the radicals' demand for independence in their own way.
Hearing this, Edonan was immediately panicked, and the court was in a mess, and the compromisers and militants were in contention, and their quarrels alarmed Prince Kutu, who was commanding at the front, and he rushed all the way back to Edonan to participate in this great and anxious debate.
The court was divided into two factions, with the compromisers believing that Edonan would not be able to resist the combined invasion of the two countries, so they could only submit to each other for the time being.
However, the militant faction led by Prince Kutu believed that Boris's claim was only a fraud by force, and that he would not do it himself at all, and that the "other means" rather than "the means of war" in the claim was a manifestation of Boris's weakness.
Therefore, if there is only Poli, even if the invasion situation is not worse, it is necessary to seize this best opportunity to solve the problem of South Poutu, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Unfortunately, Prince Kutu was only a prince after all, and most of Edonan's nobles were frightened by this declaration, and in order to prevent Prince Kutu from doing his own thing, they also removed Prince Kutu from the position of commander for the second time, as a sign of their attitude of not causing trouble.
Then, in the midst of Prince Kutu's beating of his chest, Edonan quickly negotiated peace with the rebels in South Poutu, agreeing to each other's request for autonomy. The South Poutu rebels formed an autonomous region on the eastern coast of Edonan and were required to pay taxes to Edonan, while the South Poutu rebels did not demand to occupy all the territory of the Middle-earth colonial guard, and the two sides reached a compromise that ended the five-year civil war.
After the compromise, the compromisers came to Prince Kutu and shouted that they had brought peace to Edonan, otherwise Edonan would be attacked by a joint attack by the two countries, and Prince Kutu would become a sinner for Edonan. However, soon a new piece of news made the pride of the group of people dissipate immediately, and then they regretted it, because Prince Kutu's judgment was correct, and Boris was only a verbal threat.
When Edonan, the current coalition dictator, received the news, he beat his chest with remorse and lamented why he didn't hold out for a little longer.
A week later, a disgruntled Prince Kutu began to run his father at court, and after a few runs he had to resign, and Prince Kutu became the ninth co-dictator of Edonan, Kutu IV.
This shocking news not only shook the situation of Edonan, but also shocked the Bourbon Sea, and the focus of the Bourbon Sea countries shifted from Edonan, who had been popular for a long time, to this news.
When Gross heard the news, he was silent for a long time, not knowing what to do.
On the 17th, Pocom produced a series of "evidence", claiming that Bourbon was trying to attack him, and asked Bourbon to give an explanation, but the Bourbon ambassador said that Pocom had lost his mind and refused to give an explanation.
On the 19th, Pokang declared war on Bourbon on the grounds that Bourbon was trying to attack him.
On the 20th, Boris declared to uphold justice and joined the war on Bourbon, declaring war on Bourbon.
This tragic showdown, later known as the First Bourbon War, began, and at the time, no one guessed the outcome of this war.
