Chapter 478: The Chaos Before the Final War (9) Maz Island on the other side
In 1954, after another failed naval battle, a battleship named "Honor Luhr" in Butoxie was lost in a storm, and after a period of disorienting sailing, they actually came to the waters of Maz Island, only to be detained by Maranqi.
At this time, the "Shami Ni War" broke out on Maz Island as early as 1930, and it has continued to this day, when the "Honor Luhr" sailed to a sea area called Tame in Malanqi, the local officials were terrified, thinking that the southern enemy country had opened their minds, and drove the mysterious weapon ship Rao Maz Island to raid them, so they sent their own ships to meet them.
As a result, when Tym's naval harbor ship sorted, it was discovered that it was not Zigo's surprise attack force, so the captain decided to change the officer's order and did not sink them, but only seized them.
The visitors from the Tenglong Continent are not uncommon to Maz Island, and even thunderous, and the Bourbon Dynasty, which now rules Maranqi, is the descendant of the visitors from the Tenglong Continent. And the Manada people can't tell the difference between Bhutoxi and Bourbon, they think that the Tenglong Continent is one country, and when they learn that the other party is the Tenglong Continent country, the Lord of Taimu still thinks that it is a fellow of the Bourbon family.
So Lord Taim released the crew, and after seizing the damaged Bhuttoxi, he sent the crew to escort it to the capital of Maranch, Ledosika.
Three hundred years ago, in 1607, when the warlock ancestor Lugro forced his transcendent power to cross the sea to Maz Island, Maranch was still a republic based on commerce, and its capital was the first city Taem encountered when the warship of Butoxi sailed to Maz Island.
However, in the blink of an eye, three hundred years later, Maranch has evolved from a republic to a kingdom, and the capital has been moved from Tam to Saludovana and then to today's Ledosika, and the crew was escorted to the destination of today's Ledosika.
Ledosika was not far from Tym, and Ledosika's Warden region was next door to the Golden Horn where Taem was located, so after walking for more than a month, the crew managed to reach Ledosika.
To celebrate the arrival of the foreign visitors, the Bourbons held a grand welcoming ceremony at Le Doshica, at which the prefect of Maranch, Lan III, declared: "More than 1,300 years ago, Luhr came to the Isle of Maz and brought us the Bourbons! Today, more than 1,300 years later, we are reunited with our fellow Lurs!
After more than a month of intense study, the captain had a rough understanding of Manada, so he cautiously closed his mouth and decided not to make any corrections to Lan III's speech.
In this way, the crew was swept into the palace to the cheers of Ledosika, and Lan III summoned an interpreter, who was also half a bucket of water, to try to ask the captain something about the subject.
After pondering for a while, the captain replied, "I'm just a little nobleman, I don't understand the question you asked, I think if you help me get back home, I can call a better person to talk to you." ”
The captain is not a small nobleman, his family is a noble in Bhutocxi, the reason why he answered this way is just that he is afraid that he will be pushed out of the blame in the future by saying the wrong thing, and not to mention contact with a completely unfamiliar country, not to mention himself, the whole Bhutoxi may not have such experience and precedent.
Lan III agreed to the captain's request, but asked him to teach them shipbuilding techniques, such as the skills to build a ship like the "Honorary Luhr", to which the captain replied: "I am a captain, and I am not a shipbuilder, and I will not do it." ”
Lan III was right when he thought about this, so he didn't insist on this, and agreed to help the captain and the others go home. But Lan III still kept a hand, he detained the captain and others to stay on Maz Island to train the crew, and only let the captain's lieutenant take a few Butoxi sailors, mixed with Manada sailors, and return on Maranqi's ship.
However, Maranqi's ship was not as good as Bhuttoxi, and the season was not quite right, and the current was also against the ship, so when it was about to sail to its destination, the ship finally could not hold up and disintegrated.
The crew who fell into the water soaked in the sea for three days, and many people were bitten away by sea monsters, but fortunately on the third day, they waited for a warship that patrolled the sea, and the battleship fished these people up and brought them back, so the news of the discovery of Maz Island spread to Butoxi.
Butoksi immediately set about making preparations, quickly blocking the news and preparing ships to transport his diplomatic envoys. As a result, the first mission failed, and before it was halfway through the voyage, the ship was so embarrassed by the storm that it had to retreat in disgrace to avoid sinking directly.
The Butoksy navigator summed up the reason, and felt that the currents in the deep sea were probably different from those in the inshore sea, so the best way was to send the ship out according to the time of the "Honor Lur".
So Bhutoxi waited for more than half a year before sending a second group of envoys, which were very successful, and sailed to the island of Maz without encountering any terrible storms.
"Honorable Lan III, who has the hereditary position of Governor of Maranqi, I wish you peace, and thanks to the protection of the god of the tides, I am the plenipotentiary diplomatic envoy sent by Bhutoxsi to Maranqi, and I greet you on behalf of the kind, just and friendly country Bhutoxi, and present my credentials to you. ”
In accordance with Bhutoxi's etiquette, the plenipotentiary envoy Diparomat saluted respectfully, and then handed Bhutoxi's credentials with both hands.
After receiving the credentials, Lan III once again held a grand banquet to welcome Di Palomat - anyway, now that the "Shami War" was coming to an end, Maranqi was not afraid of waves at all, and during the banquet, Lan III began to introduce the history of Maranqi to Di Palomat with pride - since both sides brought priests, this time the translation was no longer half a bucket of water.
This is only one of the reasons why Lan III was so enthusiastic about these overseas visitors? The ancestors were overseas visitors, but more importantly, the family was secretive, that is, the family received an overseas visitor more than 300 years ago, and it was the advice given by the overseas visitor that allowed the family to escape the fall of the old republic and become the hereditary governor today.
As mentioned earlier, in 1617 Maranch signed the Treaty of Friendship and Peace between Zla and Maranch, and for nearly a hundred years thereafter, despite the turmoil in Zla, those contemptible merchants kept their promises and watched their fellow Manadan compatriots be hacked to death one by one by the Zla, profiting from it. ”
"We, the Bourbons, tried to save our fellow Manadas, and so began to prepare for the expedition, only to be attacked by the contemptible merchants, who thought that my ancestors were trying to overthrow the Republic, so in 1653 there was a 'storm of suspicion' and the Bourbons were expelled from politics by the contemptible men. ”
Since he could be appointed by Butoxie as a plenipotentiary envoy to a strange country during the war, Diparomat is naturally not an ordinary person, and after listening to Lan III talk about history here, Diparomat has stripped away the beauty of those later generations and vaguely summed up a more real history.
[Maranch founded the country on commerce, but with the expansion of territory, frequent wars, facing the front line and other reasons, the domestic commercial class and the samurai class began to conflict, and judging from the description of the Bourbon family, they stood on the side of the samurai class, which is probably the reason why the Bourbon family was purified in the "suspicion storm". 】
Thinking so in my heart, I can't say that, so Deepparomat complimented: "The Bourbon ancestors are really high-spirited, and they should be models of nobility. ”
After hearing this, Lan III smiled slightly, and then continued to tell the history of his ancestors: "The contemptible merchants acted recklessly, regardless of the livelihood of the people in the country, plundered the people's wealth to satisfy their appetites, and finally provoked the wrath of the heavens, and finally in 1712 there was a war between the righteous and the contemptible merchants, and Ma Lanqi also fell into a civil war. ”
The civil war lasted until 1745, when the evil rule of the contemptible merchants in Maranch was finally brought to an end, and the righteous men took control of Maranch. Since then, Ma Lanqi has become more and more prosperous, which is all the glory created by the hard work of the ancestors!"
Di Paromath applauded: "It is a true that good will triumph over evil, in spite of the twists and turns, and that it has been unchanging since ancient times!
With a smug expression, Lan III said in a slightly contrived tone: "After the victory, some people suggested that we, Maranqi, should also set up King Maranqi, but my ancestors refused, they felt that Maranqi did not need to repeat the past of Manada, so my family only obtained the hereditary power of the consul, and did not claim the throne. ”
"Gao Feng Liang Festival, Gao Feng Liang Festival," Di Palomat couldn't stop praising the other party, but he was surprised in his heart, "There is still this kind of operation?"
"After my family obtained the hereditary rights of Maranqi, my ancestors began to work to restore the territory of Manada. Through the Zla War of 1766-1788 we recovered the Frontier and the Forest Region, and through the Satofa War of 1862-1892 we recovered the Glendor Region and made Zla our vassal. So, Maranqi completely recovered all of Manada's former territory, and let me wait for Maranqi to enter the golden age. ”
"And why did the war, now known as the Shami War, break out?" asked Diparomat.
"Although the novice region was once the territory of Manada, Manada ruled for less than a hundred years before it was evacuated, so it should be the territory of Zla. And in the south, there is an evil and tyrannical country, Zigo, which occupies the Shami region, and tries to challenge the dignity of our Maranqi, so naturally it will punish him. ”
Speaking of this, a look of pride and pride appeared on Lan III's face again: "But you don't need to be careful, ambassador, at this time, the war has been decided, Zigo is still struggling, it is nothing more than wanting to sign a peace treaty that is not harsh, I think in a few years, Ma Lanqi can take back the Shami region." ”
The night's feast passed in a chat, and when the feast was over, Lan III got up to take his leave, and reminded Diparomath: "Tomorrow we will have a formal meeting." ”
Diparomat knew what the other party meant, and judging from the fact that Lan III detained the captain of the "Honorary Luhr" and asked him to teach Maranqi navigation techniques, he knew that Lan III had an intention against Butoxi, and tomorrow, it was time for the bayonet to see red, whether to become a friend or an enemy?
