Chapter 71: The Mainland's Millennium (3) Northern Expedition

The above is the dispute between Sharo and Hammador before the Peace of Desdes.

In short, the Sharo people used the tax collectors of Hammador to run rampant, and encircled the Hammador people in the Northland, and had a legitimate claim for their own domination of the Northland.

After the Sharo people settled in the Northland, although a large number of Hammador people became slaves, they did not cause any dissatisfaction, because the tax officials who had been rampant for more than ten years gave the people of Hammador Northland a cognition: paying taxes is more terrible than becoming a slave, and you can live to old age as a slave, and you can't live for ten years to pay taxes.

And the Sharo people, who are quite chicken thieves, really dare not break the oath they made to the gods, so they sit back and watch Desde recover Cassage, but it does not mean that after the three eastern cities are recovered, they will not do anything.

By the year 782 of the Great Calendar, all the three eastern cities of Cassag had been subdued, and just when Desde breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this war would be over, the Sharo people began to make the next move.

After the three eastern cities of Cassag were recovered, a rumor circulated in the three eastern cities that Deesde was going to send tax collectors to "tell the story of Mengmu" to the three eastern cities.

According to the account of Hammador, this rumor was spread by Sharo, and Hammador can use various documents to indicate that he has learned the lesson of Meng Mu and has no intention of sending a tax officer.

The news began to spread after the first nobles of the three eastern cities had been killed, and the panic in the eastern three cities reached a new peak, and it was natural that they could not believe the experience of Deesde.

Although Deesde sent proclamators, in each of the city-states, it was emphasized that this time we would not send tax collectors, but only new officials who would come to the three eastern cities to replace the slain nobles.

But the three eastern cities that have lessons from the past don't believe it.

The following incident, in the account of Hammador, was the shameless scum of the three eastern cities, in order to preserve their wealth, colluded with the Saros to wage war against Hammador again and invade Desde.

According to the records of the Sharo people, it was the petition of the three eastern cities that made the Sharo people decide to send troops.

In short, although the accounts of the reasons for this are not the same, the result is the same, and the Sharo people declared war on the three eastern cities again after the end of their military campaign against the three eastern cities, on the grounds that they wanted to protect the three eastern cities.

Hanmador has been fighting the war for 9 years, and Sharo has just rested for 2 years, at least some recovery, and in the face of Sharo's attack, Hanmador fought back desperately for a year.

And in the year 783 of the Great Calendar, there was a rebellion of citizens in the south of Hammador against the tax and conscription, and seeing that the situation had become like this, Hammador knew that he could not fight it anymore.

In 784 A.D., the two sides signed the Peace of Cassag at Cassage, in which the Legislator recognized the three eastern cities as the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke of Sala.

The Peace of Cassag marked the official end of the 11-year-long Salo War, and also meant the defeat of Hanmador in this war, in which 8 of the 17 large city-states were taken away by Sharo.

With the signing of the "Peace of Desdes" and the "Peace of Cassag", Desdes, which was originally located in the center of the country, was instantly pushed to the forefront, so in order not to repeat the tragedy of Sharo's attack on Desde overnight, the insightful people of Hammador understood that the capital must now be moved.

After several years of preparation, in 791 A.D., the capital of Hamador was moved from Desde to the rear of the Shrike.

After encountering such a great humiliation, of course, Hammador would not swallow this breath easily.

In the two periods of 803-805 and 822-826 of the Great Calendar, Han Ma Doer carried out two Northern Expeditions, but both of them ushered in a crushing defeat.

The core of the war between the two sides is the Destus Plain.

The large and small city-states that used to be located in the Deesde Plain were the most prosperous areas in the whole of Hamador, but with the wars of the two sides over the years, the Deesde Plain was almost a wasteland.

The fertile soil, which was the envy of peasants elsewhere, was now devoid of farmland, and soldiers from both sides unceremoniously conquered the land, and in just 23 years from 803 to 826, the population of the Destodian Plain was halved.

After facing the failure of the two Northern Expeditions, the newly appointed king of Hammador learned from the pain and summed up the reasons for the victory and defeat.

Here I would like to mention the system of Saro.

In the case of the three cities in the east, the Grand Duke of Sharo merged the eastern part of the country into the Cassager Kingdom and canonized the Count of Cassag to rule.

Except for the Northern Expedition, Grand Duke Sharo was content to get some taxes from Cassage.

In the first two Northern Expeditions, the pressure that Desde dealt with each time came from two directions. Because of the geographical location, if the main force chooses to crusade against Sharo, they will not be able to go to Kasag, and if they go to Kasag, they will not be able to go to Sharo.

However, the other side can calmly press towards Desde from two directions, and every time Desde fails in the Northern Expedition, he falls on a two-front battle.

There was even a time in the middle, Desde was occupied by the other side, but fortunately for Hammador all the dangerous checkpoints in Desde were facing the direction of Mengmu, for Hammaddor, even if Desde was occupied, he only needed to occupy Mengmado in the east of the Desde Plain and calmly go west to recover his homeland.

And after the failure of the Second Northern Expedition, Grand Duke Sharo simply declared independence, and did not even give face to Han Ma Doer in name.

Although after the failure of the first two large-scale Northern Expeditions, Hammador has not carried out the Third Northern Expedition, and there are constant minor conflicts between Hammador and Sharo, but there are no major conflicts.

However, the three eastern cities are lost territory after all, and seeing that the eastern three cities are ruled by Sharo, the decision-making level of Han Ma Doer is choking. Therefore, King Hammador wanted to reclaim his homeland to add glory to his political achievements.

After a lot of hard work, they finally came up with a new method, sea freight.

As mentioned earlier, the eastern part of the Middle-earth continent is similar to the map of East Asia, and the area where Hanmador is located is analogous to the imperial capital area of East Asia, and the territory of the three eastern cities such as Kasag extends from Liaoning to Korea.

And the new method that Hammador came up with is to transport troops from the Jiaodong Peninsula by sea, directly to North Korea, and sneak attack Kasag's ass.

In 871 of the Great Calendar, Hammador established the largest seaport in the entire Middle-earth continent in Gugdomachi, which is called the port of liberation.

The sailors who had been prepared for a long time were dispatched through the port of liberation to Kanosari, the southernmost point of Kasag, to fight against the Sharo.

This war finally reversed the decadence of the previous times, and in 877 of the Great Calendar, the three eastern cities were successfully recovered.

Although nearly a hundred years have passed, but now that the three white-eyed wolves in the three eastern cities have finally been captured, then of course Hammador has grievances and revenge, and raised the butcher's knife that has been a hundred years late against the nobles of Cassage.

Just when Hammador took revenge on Cassag again, Sharo got a new technology, the beast master system invented by Umola, which was spread to Sharo by relying on the barbarians who were active everywhere on the continent, and Sharo specially cultivated a group of beast master soldiers, ready to surprise Hammaddor.

In the year 882 of the Great Calendar, only 5 years later, the complacent contemporary king of Hammador who had recovered the kingdom of Kasagber announced another northern expedition, and he was ready to solve the Sharo people who had been entangled for hundreds of years in one fell swoop, so that his exploits would shine in the annals of history and be praised by everyone in later generations.

In the eyes of the council king, this time Sharo could not start the attack on both sides without the help of Kasag, so there was no need to worry.

However, it is a pity that this time the Northern Expedition was still resisted by Sharo, relying on the new beast master system, and brought some surprises to Han Ma Dore.

This war lasted until the year 900 of the Great Calendar, fought for 18 years, and finally Hammador could not hold on, and finally Sharo symbolically compensated Hammador for some of the cost of sending troops, and Hammadador returned to the court.

After that, the two sides fought several more wars, and Sharo once recaptured the whole of Cassager, but because Sharo did not have a navy, in the face of the navy of Hanmador who came and went freely in the bay of Gugdomak, Sharo was really out of reach for the two cities south of Cassager, and it was difficult to hold on.

In short, in the year 1000 of the Great Calendar, when Leng Yi came, the three eastern cities of the Casageber Kingdom are now only the Casageber Kingdom, and the southern Busri and Canoshari have all been taken by Hanmadore.

But so far, Hammador has not been able to eliminate Sharo in one fell swoop, and in short, the two sides are at a stalemate.

Country Name: Hamadol (234 - 1000/766)

Reign era: Classical era - early period

Country Type: Monarchical City-State Union Government

Religion: Hammador Sky Worship

Ethnic group: 96% of the Hammador (7% of the Kasag sinners), 4% of the Mensh

Country Name: Principality of Sala (780 - 1000/220 A.D.)

Reign era: Classical era - early period

Country Type: Monarchical City-State Union Government

Religion: Hammador Sky Worship

Ethnic groups: Sharo 42%, Hammador (6% Southerners, 44% Monmu, 8% Kasag) 58%

Well, that's the list of these two countries right now.

From these two lists, it can be seen that because of the long-term war between the various regions of Hammador, the side of Hammador will be divided into three, six, nine and so on, even within a group.

The so-called Cassag and Cassag sinners in the list are all the same type of people, referring to the people of the Three Eastern Cities region. The Monmu people, on the other hand, refer to the Hammador people located in the Northlands. The southerners are naturally the people who went south from Hamma Dordes.

There was also a Mensh, a barbarian tribe widely distributed in the south of Hammador, and some were captured by the Hammador and then went to work hard.

As for the Sharo people, Sharo's current language and beliefs are all made by cosplay Han Ma Dore.

And the successive Grand Dukes of Sharo, because they "legally" owned the northern land through the "Secret Treaty of the Stables", coupled with the friendship of jointly resisting the tyrants of the south, they got along well.
