Chapter 373: Discovered in the 16th Century (3) The Talk of Gatuya
In 1647, Lull met his "old friend" Finsu in Gatuya. In fact, when Lul met again, he had forgotten the Laventica nobleman he had seen at the boundary marker, but the other party still remembered him.
I remember the last time we met, Lul was a young student about to graduate, and the other party was a calm middle-aged man. And more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now Lul has achieved almost nothing, and has been sent here as a diplomatic representative, and Fensu seems to be mixing well from his appearance and spirit.
Finsu La Lebiburg was a very sociable person, with a natural charm that made people want to befriend him, and Lul had to admire him for his success, and it was for this reason that Lul was very happy with him.
"Finsu, what is your Laventica like in the north of Gatuja? I have heard some rumors, but I am not sure if he is accurate. ”
"In the north, there are only two kinds of land, one is the land of Laventica, and the other is the land that Laventica is about to conquer," when he said this, Finsu's face flashed with a rare arrogance, which was a rare look for Finsu, who had always been humble to himself.
"My homeland Laventica has a long history, a brilliant culture, countless heroes, from the oldest Muni Dynasty, to the Muni Fenda Dynasty, the turbulent era of middle decline, the Moxico Dynasty and the current Malden Dynasty, which has been founded in 1174 years, and he will continue to exist and be invincible!"
Hearing this, Lull couldn't help but feel a little arguing: "Laventica was founded more than 1,100 years ago? Compared with some rising countries, it is indeed a remarkable time, but our Bourbon people have a longer history than yours, and now it has been more than 1,500 years since the founding of the country!"
"Oh, honorable Lul, you can't count it that way, the Bourbons are Bourbons, and you are North Poutu, as far as I know, the North Poutu people do not have a country of their own, you are ruled by Polly, and even Polly is only a small point in the more than two hundred years of the founding of the country, how can it be compared with our Laventica?"
Lul was choked by Finnsu's words for a while, and at this time, a statement that he had heard before came to his mind, although when he first heard this statement, he thought it was nonsense and indifferent, but now that he looks at it, this statement seems to be very good!
"This year can't be counted like that, Finsu, you know, the inhabitants of Bourbon are not Bourbons, understand?"
Finsu couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect Lull to even pull out the fact that Bourbon was not a Bourbon in order to argue himself, so Finsu became interested and wanted to see how Lull would round out this theory: "Oh? Bourbon is not Bourbon?
"This is the result of our Polly, Eh, and Boris research," Lull would never say, this is the theory that some students were talking about in the square when he went to see his son at the academy a few years ago, "and this Bourbon is divided into real Bourbons and all Bourbons." ”
"What's that?"
"The so-called real Bourbons, that is, the ancient Bourbons, they are honorable, righteous, civilized, and kind, and all good terms can be used on them, that is, they created the great empire of Bourbon across the three seas, and they are also our ancestors. ”
After all, I heard it a few years ago, and I heard it by chance when Luer passed by, and he didn't take the other party's statement seriously back then, and now Luer has really forgotten what the other party's complete argument is. But having said so much, now telling Fensu that the above is his own nonsense, which is so shameless, so Luer has to make up a set of his own to fill in the pit.
"Ahem, Finsu, you see, O Bourbon, he has conquered so many lands, well, land, new lands need new civilized people, that is, the ancient Bourbons, ah, they, to educate the barbarians there, so that they understand the civilization of Bourbon. ”
Lul hurriedly took a sip of water, using the time to think urgently about what to say, and Finsu looked at Lul with a polite smile.
"This Bourbon, the forehead is an ancient Bourbon, the ancient Bourbon people have gone a lot, the excellent Bourbon people are gone, and those who remain in the old channel are not excellent, they, well, because they are not good, caused the Bourbon to fall into civil strife later, and fell into civil strife This is because, because the excellent ancient Bourbon people want to regain power, right!"
The more Luer spoke, the more fluent he became, and he felt that this theory seemed to be not bad.
"This operation to regain power failed, not because it could not be defeated, but because the gods have the virtue of good life, this everyone is born as Bourbons, and it is not good to kill each other so that the barbarians can benefit more, so the war is suspended. But that doesn't change the fact that the Bourbons are the descendants of the inferior Bourbons, and we colonizers are the descendants of the noble Bourbons, and we are the heirs of the Bourbon order, not the successors of the split, yes, that's it. ”
Apparently Finsu had just drunk the water before, and after Lul stammered his statement that there were no Bourbons, Finsu drank another glass of water, and Lul felt that Finsu was laughing, which must be an illusion.
"Your Excellency Lull, you are the heir of the Bourbons," Finsu coughed, "I heard that there are many countries in the Bourbon Sea?"
Lull raised his fingers and counted: "2 Edonan, 4 Bourbon Island, 5 Tenglong Continent, a total of 11, but the original civilization is also Bourbon, Myramie, Ingana, Ulchi and Braazon 5 civilizations, it is said that there is an island further south, and there is a country on the island, but no one has been there." ”
"It's ...... that the same civilization can separate different countries"
"Are you a civilized country there?" asked Lull.
"5 civilizations, 4 nations, to be exact, would Lord Lul be interested in listening to me nag about the glorious history of Raventica's conquest?" that haughty expression appeared again on Finnsu's face, which seemed to be his usual expression, and Lul always felt that this expression seemed to have been described.
"After getting your description of the geography, we know roughly that Laventica was born in the middle of the east coast of Middle-earth, and this great country has not lost a foreign war since its birth and has been expanding outward," said Finsu, who also comforted Lul, "You don't have to worry, Laventica has no interest in overseas countries. ”
Lull snorted a few times, even in reply.
The Muni dynasty, founded in 483, was the first dynasty of Laventica, whose capital is still called Muni. With the rebellious war of the three kings of Muni, the Munifenda dynasty replaced Muni in 774 as the second dynasty of Laventica. ”
"In 1085, the Munifenda dynasty became extinct, and Laventica fell into a turbulent era of great chaos, which ended in 1193, when the Moxico family, of Muni blood, united Laventica and established the Moxico dynasty. ”
The history of Laventica reminds Lul of Maisica, which was also ruled by one dynasty after another.
"During the Moxico dynasty, Laventica met Menche in the north, who was the first obstacle on the way to Laventica's conquest and an independent civilization. Before meeting Laventica, this civilization had a sad history, a sad accumulation. It took Laventica 34 years to end the existence of Menche with a war. ”
"In fact, at the beginning of the Menche War, the Moxico dynasty had long been decayed, if it were not for the help of the generals of the Malden family, Moxiko would not have been able to defeat the Menche at all, and in the Menche rebellion that broke out in 1396, it lasted for 12 years, and the Moxiko family could not put down the rebellion alone, and it still relied on the assistance of the Malden family to solve this rebellion. ”
"The Maldons have done so much for the Moxico dynasty, but instead of being grateful to the Maldens, the Moxico dynasty is trying to weaken the Maldens. ”
In the face of persecution by the Moxico dynasty, the Malden family initially retreated, but as the Moxico dynasty pressed in, they could only launch a rebellion, and finally overthrew the Maimoxico dynasty in 1493 and established the fourth dynasty of Laventica, the Malden dynasty. ”
"This shows that the establishment of the Malden dynasty was forced and justified," Lull interjected, meaning something.
"This is more than two hundred years ago, and now the Moxiko family is not even a great nobleman, so naturally the Malden dynasty is whatever it is," Finsu also smiled.
"However, the Malden dynasty is indeed much more enterprising than Moxico, the Moxico family has always focused on the homeland, playing with his balance of power, watching his nobles fight back and forth, and the Malden dynasty is willing to take us to the north to fight, just for this point, I came to the Bibao family to follow Malden. ”
Lull nodded, and then asked, "What about the countries that marched north?"
"I don't know much, I just know that it was originally a country of Hammaddor, the Sharo people invaded the north of Hammador, and Gosamodo invaded the north of Sharo, and it was just a boring cycle. ”
"Laventika, Hammador, Sharo and Gosamodo, this line is somewhat similar to that in the Tenglong Continent, but since the Sharo and Gosamodos are invading barbarians, how can they be considered separate civilizations?
"What? That's how you do that?" asked Finsu, puzzled.
"What? That's how your five civilizations are calculated?" Luer also asked suspiciously, and then he was relieved, "This is the difference between civilizations, don't worry about this yet, you continue." ”
"When Laventika got there, and Hammador tried to unite Gosamodo to the north and south to flank Sharo, and there was a lot of fighting, and then Laventika broke in, and we expanded northward with a sharp hand, and in 1638, eight years after I met you, we had completely conquered Hammador as our vassal. ”
"yes, this is also a martial art worth boasting about, and this was 9 years ago, right?"
"Yes, and our king is now considering moving the capital from Mooni to Sidsha, further north, so that it will be easier to plan the conquest of the north, and I believe that in time, Sharo and Gosamodo will also submit to the conquest of Laventica!"
Lull finally remembered where he had heard the description of this mentality, wasn't this the mentality of the Bourbons, ah, the ancient Bourbons, who believed in their empire in full swing, couldn't bear the slightest humiliation of the empire, and constantly waged a war of punishment, and finally it was so confused.
"To tell you the truth, not long after I met you, I took part in the war against Hammador, which began in 1603 and lasted for more than thirty years, and by which I also gained a meritorious service, and became an administrator in the newly conquered territories for a while. ”
"You're still an administrator, congratulations, why did you come back to Gatua recently?"
As soon as these words came out, Lul knew that he had lost his words, and Fensu's tone quickly fell: "Oh, Lul, you have to understand, my family is not a very big family, although I have won my own territory by force, but I have only been in office for 3 years, and I have to give up my territory to those in the rear who have never been on the battlefield, the heirs of the great nobles." ”
"It's ...... What an unfortunate thing. ”
"Alas, I can only hope that the Malden dynasty will quickly provoke the next war, and when it is won, I will ask for some more money by merit. ”
"Your Excellency Lull, don't look down on that money, in today's Laventica, the next generation is still not the standard of judgment of the nobility, but whether you have enough money. For example, if my Lebibao family hadn't made a lot of money in office, it would be difficult to say whether the next generation would have become nobles. ”
This time Lul was really surprised, he had only heard that Laventika had been winning battles, and he thought it was a powerful country, but now when he heard Finsu say this, he found that Laventika had become this ghost inside, which reminded Lul of the huge empire that could only rely on winning battles to hang his life in the past.
"Then you have to be careful, according to Poli's academy research," Lull had to add, seeing the smirk on Finnsu's face, "this is a more reliable study, they think that a war that makes the empire healthier will break out in a twenty-year cycle, will you be able to survive until the next war breaks out?"
"I used to have to borrow some money, but now with you," Finsu smiled, "even if the most lucrative business is made by the big nobles, we can drink some soup and make a little money until then." ”
Fensu suddenly said, "Your Excellency Luer, I'm sorry for you. ”
When Lul returned the salute, it suddenly occurred to him that now like the rising sun of Laventica, it is difficult for even the minor nobles in the country to guarantee the position of nobility, and now Laventica is hanging on to his life by winning the battle and the trade that has just appeared, if there is a sudden defeat or trade break, what will become of Laventica?
