Chapter 539: The Sea of Bourbon after the war (9) The Far West
When the three countries of Bourbon and Pomosi fell into the "Sixth Bourbon War", Boris was not at peace, and in 2256 A.D., the "South Boutu War" broke out again in South Boutu, and Boris sided with Edonan and helped the Edonan nobles attack the Cadoxu crown, which represented the orthodoxy of South Boutu.
But when it comes to starting a war, in fact, Boris attacks on Caddo Crown very rarely, and even sends a messenger to tell Caddo Crown before every time he goes out to the army, so that Caddo Crown can prepare for field battles in advance (if Caddo Crown refuses to fight in the field, it is not to give Boris face, then don't want Boris to treat Caddo Crown like now).
Because of this, the main conflict of the so-called "South Poputu War" was the conflict between the Cadoxu crown of the South Popuru people and the Edonan crown of the Edonan, and the main purpose of Boris to enter the war was to let his army hone in regular warfare, so as not to know nothing about the war.
Therefore, even if Boris was facing the "South Poutu War" at this time, he could still continue to "open up again" while carrying out the "war".
The so-called "re-exploration" is a concept proposed by Boris in 2222. At that time, the consul believed that the reason why the Bourbon Empire became a glorious empire was that its people braved the waves and pioneered thousands of miles, leaving the footprints of the Bourbon from the Edonan Peninsula to the continent of Tenglong, and when the pace of Bourbon development slowed down, the Bourbon began to weaken.
Time has passed, and now the third Bourbon, Edonanpolis, should also continue the great "pioneering" cause of Bourbon and carry out further development.
There is no need to think about going north, there is the territory of Pomosi, and it is already known that the north is the territory of Laventica, and then the territory of Hamador, so the direction of Boris's "further exploration" is in the far west, which no one has ever visited.
In the 22nd century, the focus of Boris on the Edonan Peninsula and the fact that the Edonan Peninsula was no longer a struggle between the two countries greatly promoted the development of the Edonan Peninsula, especially the previously developed land.
In addition to land development, the level of knowledge of the Edonan Peninsula is also growing, and the western pole of South Poutu has reached Kacyra, and through the tireless days of explorers, it has also been known that from Kacyra further west, there is an inexhaustible magnificent mountain range that stretches from the mainland to the coast.
The coast far away from Kacyira began to turn north, so where further north was it? It is impossible to know, and the initial undertaking of "re-opening" was to find out where the coast was heading.
"Re-opening" was promoted by the new Overseers as a priority for their own administration, so despite the death of many people, in just 4 years there were gratifying results, and it is not known where the coast turned to the north, but continued to explore new land to the west!
Boris had a new colonial stronghold, and Boris's "Great Exploration" began with the city now named Maranes, and it was not until Randolph arrived in Boris that he was also very familiar with this matter, after all, once the wheat of Maranis was launched, it was popular in the Bourbon Sea because of its high yield and rich magic.
For the past fifty years, Boris has been blocking the road of Maranis to foreign countries, and because Maranis is indeed too far away, only Boris can pass, so the local secrets have been well preserved, but now Boris has decided to conditionally publish some information about Maranis as a merit of the third Bourbon.
So the Boris authorities invited some foreign friends to live in Maranes, and Randolph, who was famous for Boris's "Examination of the Past of the Republic", was among the invitees, so Randolph was appointed by Bourbon as Bourbon's deputy envoy to Boris in 2269 to govern the affairs of Maranis.
Upon his appointment, Randolph was invited into the cabin, where he spent the voyage in the dim cabin until he reached Maranas before being released, and was forbidden to visit the coast.
In this way, Randolph settled in Maranes, where he investigated the customs and customs of Maranes, collected poems from local troubadours, and wrote the "Song of Maranes" for the locality, which became the earliest ballad of Maranes. More than 100 years later, the Song of Maranas was inscribed in the square of Maranes, and Randolph was named a friend of Maranes.
By the time he arrived at Maranes, Randolph learned the latest information about the "re-exploration", and after more than fifty years of exploration, Boris had figured out the geography of Maranas, which was not on a small island, but on a peninsula in Middle-earth, which had been named the Maranas Peninsula.
Between the Maranes Peninsula and the Edonan Peninsula there is a huge bay as large as the Myrami Peninsula, so the shortest route between the two peninsulas is to cross the sea directly. Behind the mountains in the far west of the Edonan Peninsula is a marshland as long as half of the southern coastline of the Mairamie Peninsula, so the Edonan Peninsula cannot be colonized by the mountains.
After fifty years of exploration, Boris had figured out what the bay was like north of Maranes, so Boris restarted his plan to continue westward. Randolph's recent interest in sailing led him to finally get Randolph on a voyage in 2272 when Boris agreed to let him embark on a voyage.
As a result, during this voyage, Randolph's ship accidentally discovered a city far larger than Maran's, and the residents of the city were shocked to see such a huge ship as Boris, and what surprised both sides was that the other party was actually an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years.
The Expedition Fleet was curious about this new nation, as it had been more than three hundred years since Butoxi discovered the Isle of Maz.
However, despite the friendliness of the Exploration Fleet, the city that does not speak the language is extremely indifferent to the Exploration Fleet, and in the end, Randolph, who could not suppress his curiosity, volunteered to enter the city as a hostage, so that the city agreed to let some members of the Exploration Fleet enter the city in small boats.
After entering the city, Randolph insisted on refusing to go back with the crew, and volunteered to continue to be hostages in the local area, and the crew had to go back first to inform Boris.
After spending a few months in the city, Randolph slowly learned the local language, and knew that another important reason why the city was so cold was that the country was at war, so he was wary of strange foreign forces.
After a few months of getting along, Randolph learned that the name of the city was Farida and that it belonged to the New Oriental Sacred District, which was made to be the Eastern European Rona.
In Randolph's opinion, this so-called Eastern European Romania is a very strange country, since it is called Eastern European Romania, then there must be a European Romano, and this Eastern European Romania fled from his homeland and migrated to the East a thousand years ago because of a conflict with the European Romano.
At this point, the Olini nobles who received Randolph were indignant and said to Randolph that it was the good Olini ancestors a thousand years ago who took them in because they felt compassion for the Lonolays of Eastern Europe like refugees, and as a result, they caused endless trouble.
"Dear Monsieur Randolph, you must know that the people of Eastern Europe are a white-eyed wolf that can never be raised, and our ancestors treated them so kindly, gave them food and clothing, and gave them land to live in, but when they had gathered strength, they attacked us unthankfully, so much so that they destroyed us two hundred years ago. ”
However, although the country of the Olini was destroyed by the Eastern European Rono, the main territory of the Eastern European Ronolai was further west, so the local inhabitants of Ephrida were still mostly Olini.
"Of course, it's the majority, but it's not too much," lamented the Ulini nobles who received Randolph, "After the defeat in the Vandaropot War more than forty years ago, we were brutally slaughtered, so now the Olini people account for about one-fifth of the country, and most of the Olini people are still a little northerly, and Farida is already a slight advantage of the Eastern European Ronos. ”
However, fortunately (for the Olini), the Eastern European Ronolai, which had always been a regional power, suffered a civil war in 2264, when the Kathira dynasty and their own branch of the Kasenla family broke out in the "Kasenla War", which spread to the whole of Eastern Europe, and the Orini also took advantage of the civil war in Eastern Europe to launch a rebellion in 2270.
"So we were indifferent to you when you came, and we had been in control of the city for a long time, fearing that you were pretending to be from Eastern Europe," said the Olini nobleman.
With the discovery of Farida and even the arrival of the Eastern European Roth, Bourbon soon changed Randolph's position, elevating Randolph to the position of Bourbon Ambassador to the Far West, which meant that all matters related to Bourbon in the western part of the Edonan Peninsula were under Randolph's jurisdiction - but Randolph was a bare-bones commander.
After living in Farida for a long time, Randolph's desire to write came again, so he wrote "Farida's Travels" in 2273, which was soon published in Boris, as the first authoritative book about Farida's customs and the history of Eastern Europe, and was soon circulated by the Bourbon Sea.
Once you've arrived at Farida, you can also have the advantage of saving effort for Boris, that is, you don't have to go through the hard work of exploring the coast yourself, but you can learn from the locals what is further west.
It's just that to Randolph's disappointment, the nobles of Farida know very little about things further west, and the local library records more local deeds, which also makes Randolph guess, he thinks that Farida is not a very developed place, and I am afraid that it is only a second-rate main city in Eastern Europe.
"The local aristocracy was more ignorant of the world than I could have imagined, and when I introduced them to the news of the Bourbon Sea, most of them came to have fun, and even more so that we were just a half-barbarian kingdom with a relatively developed seafaring industry, and they thought that only Middle-earth could be called a civilized country. ”
Randolph said to the visiting envoy of Boris: "The nobles of Farida said that they went straight to the north of Farida and there was another country that was contacted more than two hundred years ago, and it was called the belly, but there were constant wars there, so Farida knew very little about it. ”
"And what country is on the west? First of all, their ruler, the Eastern European Rono, the most prosperous land of this country is in the west, and according to them, the west was also theirs, that is, the land of the Olini. ”
The envoy couldn't help but laugh, he remembered that Nanboutu, Nanboutu and Olini had a rather similar experience, both were constantly driven from the exploited familiar land to the desolate frontier, if there was any difference, that is, Nanpoutu was driven more and more west, and Olini was driven more and more east.
According to the Olini, the Catertila dynasty of the Eastern European Ronolai was the Osho, and although the Eastern European Ronolai conquered the Olini, their royal family was also a minority, and this minority also established a new state of its own and split from the Eastern European Ronu. ”
"Further east, there is a country called Bachar, and the Olini have joined forces with Bacharat several times in the past against the Eastern European Lona, so they have an impression of this country. ”
"Bachar could not go west, it is said that it had reached the southwest corner of Middle-earth, so they began to go north, and to the north there was a country called Bam, but they already knew only one name of this country, and they did not know anything else, let alone whether it was clear whether Bam had any country further north. ”
