Chapter 352: Lost Dreams of the Austrians (3) The Lost Manada and the Newborn Maranqi
The Asar dynasty was the longest reigning period among the Manada dynasties and the Elective Dynasty, ruling from 1095 to 1378, a total of 283 years of history, and experienced 20 generations of Manada kings.
In the early days of their reign, the Aesirs relied on the prestige of the Molaids to command the passage of the entire kingdom of Manada, but after a few generations, the Manada tradition was restored, and the central power of Manada continued to decline at a visible rate.
During the reign of the Aesir dynasty, the most important change was the development of the eastern wasteland, which was once disparagingly called the Yellow Horn into a fertile Golden Horn, with prosperous commerce and convenient transportation. The old aristocrats in the west, like bloodthirsty vultures, soon set their sights on the Golden Horn and began to pour into it.
The Golden Horn was developed because the descendants of the Bourbon sailors, the Bourbon family, took advantage of the special local environment, imitated (according to the sporadic last words of their ancestors and their own imagination) the distant Bourbon, established themselves on the basis of commerce, and received the financial support of the gods.
The old aristocracy flocked to the Golden Horn, their style of acting was completely different from that of the Golden Horn, with the habits of the old system, and the aristocracy was consistently greedy, and as a result, in less than fifty years, the early immigrants of the Golden Horn were squeezed bankrupt by the nobles one by one, and their grievances became bigger and bigger, and finally a rebellion broke out.
As soon as Manada rebelled, Zla, who was honest and reliable to the west, launched another brazen invasion of Manada.
Then there was a chaotic fight, the east side fought the west side and also fought, and the internal fight was still against each other, a total of 16 years of fighting, and in the end, whether it was a war in the east or a war in the west, Manada lost it all.
To the east, the rebellion in the Golden Horn succeeded and established the independent Maranche, the country in which Gross now lived, while to the west, the land that Moraide had regained was recaptured by Zla and extorted a lot of reparations.
The Asa family has become the target of the fire, and the scolded can't raise their heads, watching the princes become more and more dissatisfied, the Asa family can only follow the old example of Fasaka, carry out the "second Fasaka compromise", and announce the resignation of the blame.
Thus, the Aesir dynasty of Manada ended in 1378 and ushered in the era of the third king.
The discontent of the Manada people was higher during the Third Election than in the Second Election because the situation in Manada became more sinister.
In the east, the merchants of Maranqi penetrated more and more into all aspects of Manada, and in the west, Zlathu forced the people to annex Manada's land one after another, making Manada's territory smaller and smaller.
The edifice is about to fall, this is the feeling of many Manada people, they are desperate to take action to save the collapsed country, but what action must be taken to save Manada? The Manada people only have one idea, maybe to end the election of the king and re-hereditary.
In 1525 A.D., after the death of the powerful king of Zla, Shami "Iron Bone" V, the Manada general Avis Fai Asa, took the opportunity to go on his own and launched a war against Zla, eventually succeeding in recapturing Glendor.
Thanks to this achievement, the ambitious General Avis staged a coup d'Γ©tat five years later, ending the era of the king-elector and restoring the hereditary system of Manada.
General Ahas comes from the Aesa family and is a descendant of the Aesir dynasty more than 100 years ago, so the Aesir dynasty established by General Avis is also known as the second Aesir dynasty.
When the second Aesir dynasty was established, it was carried the expectations of countless Manada insightful people, who expected that General Avis, who blew himself into the sky before usurping the throne, would bring a new atmosphere to the decadent Manada, and that the hereditary Manada would have a stable political arena and stabilize the turbulent country.
Then they were naturally disappointed, in the sixty years of the reign of the second Aesa Dynasty, Manada's national power was constantly declining, if it weren't for the fact that Manada could not stand the toss at this time, if it weren't for the fact that the king of the Asa Dynasty really worked hard for Manada, the era of the fourth king election was a sure thing.
However, the edifice will fall, who can save it? Zira conquered more and more lands, Manada's resistance became weaker and weaker, and Maranqi in the east became less and less good-hearted.
In 1588, the situation had developed to the point of extreme evil, and the frontier region was completely conquered by Zra, and the Manada of the Watchman region weighed whether to accept the rule of the barbarians or the rule of the rough villagers on the border, and resolutely defected to the arms of Maranqi, and Manada fell.
In this case, the great-grandson of General Avis, the 4th King of Manada of the Second Aesar Dynasty, led the last loyal fighters to Manada, and continued to fight in the Warden Region for 2 years, but finally failed.
In 1590 Ayrah, Zla and Maranch signed the Declaration of Zlamaranch, recognizing each other's land, despite the great-grandson of General Avis, who was still browsing in the wilderness.
The Zlama Lama Manifesto was adopted by the divine realm, marking the official demise of Manada as a nation, ending his history of 1077 and 77 generations of Manada kings.
"He, he's really a Bourbon? I mean, not a Bourbon from our Bourbon family, but a real Bourbon from across the sea, from our homeland?"
There is a lot of commotion in the Tim Bourbon mansion these days, because a stranger who claims to be from Bourbon has found their mansion, and his status as a Bourbon is assured by the gods, which is even more certain. And it is precisely because of this that the Bourbon family is unbelievable.
The current patriarch of the House of Bourbon, Lul Fay Damado Damadot Bourbon, is now in a good mood, a man from his homeland, powerful, and guaranteed by the gods not to interfere in this world, because of this, Lul can face him without a dark heart.
And if you are faced with a visitor from your hometown who is unable to compete for power, then how can you not excite Lull? Therefore, as soon as he can introduce him, Lull will tell him about the achievements of the Bourbon family, like a child who has made achievements and is expecting a reward from his parents.
Indeed, it is a child, this group of descendants of Bourbon sailors who have been exiled to a foreign land have been a thousand years old, although they have been assimilated by Manada and cannot see the shadow of Bourbon or speak the language of Bourbon, but at least they have not disappeared into the long river of Manada's history, but have made such achievements, which cannot but be admired.
During his briefing to Gross, the patriarch of the family, Luhr, first introduced the history and achievements of the Bourbon family, and he took Gross to the family's genealogy room. The Bourbon Family Genealogy Room is a buried house with magical walls around it to keep out corruption, and a large stone block engraved with the message that it is a servant of the Bourbons.
Gross was taken to the far right of the family tree room by Lull, here is the ancestor of the Bourbon family, the names of those surviving sailors are listed in it, and the biggest names are Damado and Lull, these two people are also the only two people with statues, and to Gross's surprise, Lull actually has a line on the family tree, which means that Lull has descendants here!
"Lul, ahem, I mean the ancestor of your family, Lul, who has descendants left? β
Martin's "Thirty Thousand Miles South, I Return with Lull" is one of the most famous accounts of Bourbon, which has been circulating since nearly a thousand years ago and has endured to this day.
Gross remembers that in Martin's account, the Marilors' marriages at Manada were very brief, saying that "the queen provided us with some slave girls as wives," and that "some sailors were reluctant to leave their slave wives," and that "he was indignant that the slave girls had demoralized the sailors, and that Lull said that each had his own ambition and did not need to force the other."
And these records can only confirm that the sailors were married and had children in the local area, and as for whether Luhr had children or not, it is not mentioned at all, and now it seems that there is. As a result, the idol "Navigator" Luhr, who used to be tenacious, determined, and indomitable in the eyes of Gross, added the factor of abandoning his wife and children to his behavior.
"Martin's record?" Hearing Gross's careless words, Lull was puzzled for a moment, and then, as if remembering something, he looked up at the genealogy room and asked, "Do you mean Martin, the ancestor of the family tree?"
At this time, Gross also found Martin's name in the family tree, in an inconspicuous position in the first generation of the family tree, and the other party also left an heir.
So Gross began to walk backwards along Martin's descendants, and said to Luhr, "Yes, Martin, he is the only Bourbon sailor who returned to Bourbon with Luhr, and then he also wrote a travelogue of his journey, which is a well-known travelogue among our Bourbons." β
"Ah, ......what is this," Lull said, shaking his head, not knowing what he was twing, and finally remembering something, asked urgently, "and what did he say to Manada?"
"Yes, it's quite long, and it introduces some of the customs of Manada, the political system, and the conversations between the sailors, but there is almost no mention of the marital relations and children of the sailors, and the few places mentioned are also mentioned, so I am surprised to see that you are mixing so well now. β
Lull fell silent and wisely shut up, and Gross knew why the other party had shut up. Considering the time they spent in Manada, one of the reasons for not taking their children with them may have been that they were too young to go to sea, but in any case, abandonment is abandonment, so Martin concealed this past in his account.
There are not many records of Martin's descendants in the genealogy room, and Martin's descendants are getting smaller and smaller because they have no elders to take care of them, and they are not talented people, and they are still extinct more than 300 years ago, and only some people can trace Martin back to Martin by maternal lineage.
However, the descendants of Maranch are quite good, occupying a prominent position in the Bourbon family, and even the first consul of Maranch's founding and the leader who led Maranch to win the War of Independence, Andor Fay Luhr Bourbon, he is a descendant of Luhr.
