Chapter 355: Overseas Distant Country: Dreaming of the South Island (6) The "Evil" Country
The Manada people formally established their state in Sos, and after the founding of the state, the main expansion direction of the Manada people was to expand to the west, because the Mayana tribe in the west was more friendly to Manada, and the Mayana tribe in the east was relatively indifferent.
To the west of Soth was the Frontier Region, and to the east of Soth was the Warden Region, which was the first to be developed and had the highest degree of development, and to the back of the Watchmen Region, but the degree of development was also quite good.
To the south of the two regions, there is a dense forest, and the Manada people have been struggling to develop the local area, and it was very late to establish a small and medium-sized forest area, but the local situation can only be hehe.
Further east of the Overwatch is the Golden Horn, once known as the Yellow Horn, which was synonymous with wilderness in the early days of Manada's reign, and of course, thanks to the efforts of the Bourbons, it is now the richest area of the entire Maz Island.
To the west of the frontier region, formerly known as the Mountain Region or the Mountain Region, with towering green hills on both sides, Manada expands along the corridor between the two mountain ranges, and a series of Manada cities such as Glendor and Se are located.
For the mountainous regions, before the Zila rebellion, the Manada had spread their territory to the north bank of the Hulsan River, and had even begun to colonize the south bank across the Hulsan River.
And because the mountainous region has a unique product, it is very favored in Manada itself, so Manada's investment in the colonization of the mountain region is much higher than the investment in the Yellow Horn Bay, and after the departure of Southdora, the mountain region is not in the valley, but in the habitable plain.
By the way, the Bourbon family started out by making mountain products for the Soth dynasty in the early days.
The mountainous region is actually the northwest corner of Maz Island, and since Se (the name of the city), the Manada people have begun to colonize southward instead of westward. It can be expected that, if there are no accidents, in time, the entire west coast of Maz Island will be colonized by Manada.
But the accident happened, disrupting the process of Manada's colonization, and the unexpected name was called the rise of the Zla, and the origin of the Zla people was the former Zlai tribe.
In the mountainous region, the land of Glendor and Se was still the land where the Manada barbarian tribe roamed before the invasion of the Manada, and from Sostora, it was the land of the Zlai barbarian tribe, and the southern part of the mountain region was originally all the land of the Zlai.
The Zlai, for Manada, were barbarians who were not protected by the law, and were even more lowly barbarians than the poor of Manada, so there was no need for compensation for killing the Zlais at will. At this time, the shrewd Manada merchants were excited, and they could use the Zlai as slaves, and go to the mines and plantations, especially cheaply.
Coincidentally, in 717, a famine broke out further south in the mountain region, and countless Zlai tribes who had no way to survive because of the famine had to defect to Manada, so Manada placed all of them as slaves in the mountain region, which led to the absolute majority of the Zlai people in the southern part of the mountain region.
A hundred years have passed, and the Zlai people who have defected to the Manada people have all become Manada, believing in the gods of the Manada and speaking a new language mixed with many Manada languages, but the Manada people still refuse to recognize the Zlai, so the divine realm gave them a new ethnic name, the Zla.
After enduring a hundred years of oppression by Manada, the Zla could not bear it any longer, so they united with the tribe of the Mayana who were oppressed with them, and launched a massive rebellion under the leadership of Chauvin Erbus.
Sporadic rebellions and guerrillas began long ago, but the rebellion of the climate, that is, the chauvinist rebellion, did not occur until 849. Chauvin led the rebels in a six-year war before finally defeating Manada and capturing the southern cities of the hill region of Hursan, Southdora, Rodraco, and Seni.
So in 855, the kingdom of Zla was established, and the capital was Hursan, and Shavin became the first king of Zla. In the founding of the country, Chauvin humbly dismissed his subordinates' call for hereditary succession of his family, and he announced the implementation of the ancient law of Manada and the system of electing kings in Zla.
Two years later, Chauvin issued the Treaty of Confederation, which granted the middle name of Fai, the founder of all Zla, and resolved some of the problems left over from the rebellion, such as the relationship between the Zla and the Mayana.
According to the Treaty of Confederation, the Zlas enjoyed the same political status as the Zishi in the kingdom of Zla, and the so-called Zishi were the Mayana tribes who sided with Zila in the rebellion, and those who still supported Manada or remained independent Mayana tribes were obviously not qualified to be called Zishi.
In addition, in the later revision of the Treaty of Confederation, a new provision was added that those Manada nobles who had taken refuge in Zla in time could also be regarded as Zihi.
Chauvin rejected hereditary calls and elected a king in Zla, which has always been regarded by the Zla people as a representative of the high wind and brightness, and Chauvin was therefore regarded as a holy king in Zla. Although Chauvin died in 741 and his son ended the election of the king, inaugurating the hereditary system of the Ebbs dynasty in Zla, at least Chauvin was dead by then.
Therefore, if a Zla and a Manada talk about the election of the monarchy and the hereditary system, the Zla will definitely laugh loudly and presumptuously, saying that the bullshit saint Molaid three hundred years later in Manada must be plagiarizing the story of chauvin, and they are afraid that their son will not be elected, and they will abdicate in advance to supervise.
The Manadas, on the other hand, refuted and ridiculed, arguing that Zla had not gone through the system of electing kings at all, and that there was only one king in the so-called era of one king, and it was the king of Ebbs.
To get back to the point, even after Zla was established, it still had to face many difficulties, the biggest of which was Manada's counteroffensive. For a long time, Manada's attack was always the sword of Damoris on Zla's head.
Fortunately, Zla's border city of Sosdora is the gateway to the mountainous region, and as long as he holds Sostora, Manada will not be able to attack the cities behind Zla. The mountainous region where Sostora is located is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Manada has more troops than Zra, but due to the terrain restrictions, they can only go up one by one, and then they are wiped out by Zla one by one.
The Erbs dynasty relied on the terrain advantage of Sostora to resist Manada's counterattacks many times, which to a certain extent caused the fall of the Manada Fassaka dynasty. With the civil war in Manada at the time of the fall of the Manada Fassaka dynasty, Zla finally sounded the horn of the offensive for the first time.
"Se and Glendor are the spine of the mountain region, and whoever controls this place controls the initiative in the war - Chauvin III," from "General History of Maz Island".
In 914, Zla took the initiative to attack Manada for the first time, taking advantage of the chaos of the Manada Civil War, Zla once entered the frontier region, plundering countless rich treasures, although because of the mysterious death of King Zla in 918 and was repulsed by Manada, but Zla still occupied Glendor and Se, completely controlled all the mountain regions.
This is amazing, you must know that the ruling core of Zla is on the southern plain, and if Manada wants to hit the ruling core of Zla, he must first capture Glendor, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then capture Se, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and finally to capture Sostora, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so as to reach the core area of Zla.
However, in the past, Manada couldn't beat Sostora in his heyday, not to mention that now he was stabbed by Zla?
There is a second way for Manada to invade Zla, which is to force his way through a small forest area to Seni, and the consequences of this method can be compared to the death march of the White Russians during the Red and White Civil War of the Soviet Union in the history of the earth.
However, it is quite easy for Zla to attack the core domination area of Manada, as soon as Glendor goes out, it is the plain of the frontier region, there is no obstacle except for a lake, it is still the richest area of Manada, for the poor Zla, as long as he can come back, he will definitely be able to return to his roots.
So Zla's happy time came, if you are short of money, you will go to the frontier region, if you are short of women, you will go to the frontier region, if you are in a bad mood, you can go to the frontier region, and you can also go to the frontier region if you have nothing to do, after all, as I said earlier, as long as you can come back, you will definitely be able to return to the capital.
Zla has been robbing it for many years, forcibly snatching the most prosperous frontier region of Manada into a war-torn area, and then transferring the name of the most prosperous region to the Watchmen region and then to the Golden Horn region. The Zla are so fond of robbery, which is also the reason why, in the Manada worldview, the Zla is called the Evil Empire.
There is no way, it is so capricious to grasp the initiative in the war.
Zla's happy time ended in the tenth century, and the man who ended him was called Molaid Fay al-Asa.
As soon as King Zla heard the news, the thought of "going to rob the fuck" immediately came to mind, so he happily led his army to rob the frontier region, which he was accustomed to.
Then this group of Zla troops was beaten out by the "Holy Monarch" Molaid, and even Glendor and Se were lost, so that Zla could not continue to rob happily.
In the era of hereditary system, the dynasty is the best person to be responsible, although the Ebs dynasty has led everyone to make a fortune in the past two hundred years, but one yard is one yard, so the nobles of Zla did not hesitate to abandon the Ebs dynasty.
After five years of bargaining, in 1083, the Erbs dynasty twisted and twisted the Zla version of the "Fassaka Compromise", ending the 212-year history of the 15 kings of the Zraebs dynasty, and Zla ushered in the era of the second king.
Glendor is lost, the mountainous region will not be able to pass, Zla can not rob happily, can only honestly reclaim the south, continue Manada's former mission, and expand towards the south colonization.
As a result, the Zlas succeeded in occupying the entire west coast of Maz Island during their second election of kings.
