Chapter 569: Ultraman ends in the human world (21). The end of the war?
In the early morning of the mid-spring of 1855, the early peasants had already begun to plough the land on the outskirts of La Divou, after all, these were their own shares, so the farmers were particularly autonomous in their cultivation, but a group of uninvited guests from the south broke their peace.
This group of uninvited guests quickly passed through the farmers on the outskirts of the city, leaving the stunned farmers far behind, and the few people led by them rode on the beasts, speeding in the direction of the main city.
As this group of uninvited guests got closer and closer to the city, the guards on the watchtower finally noticed the surprise attack of the other party, and hurriedly sounded the alarm bell, and after a long time, a group of city defense teams came to the city gate slowly, ready to block the gate, but it was too late to say that it was too fast, and a team of masked figures suddenly appeared in the side alley, and the city defense team started a fierce battle, preventing them from closing the city gate.
It is precisely for this reason that the last period of time when the city defense team closed the gates of La Divo was wasted in the battle with this group of unknown characters, and the raiders entered the city smoothly, drove the city defense team cleanly, and then divided the troops to control the weapons depot and granary, preparing to seize the city.
Count Radivo was woken up by the alarm bells, which had made him develop an alert personality, and when the alarm bell rang, the Count immediately got up from his bed, and hurried out of the bedroom without getting dressed, ready to find out what had happened.
"Those evil mountain people have broken the sacred agreement with the Lord and launched a surprise attack on us!"
The Earl quickly figured out where the raiders were coming from, and immediately said angrily: "This group of butcher cubs actually dares to enter the city to fight, do they look down on me Radivo!"
If there is one place where the nobles hate the mountain people the most, it is undoubtedly the nobles of Radivo, unlike Habarro, who lost a large number of nobles when the first Grand Duke of Savan, Nataro I, died, and almost every nobleman had a blood feud with the mountain people.
However, the nobles had a great cause, some of them deeply resented the mountain people and did not want to extricate themselves, and some of them heard about the Belle Époque of the Habaro nobles and had hopes, so this group of people let go of their insignificant hatred and colluded with the mountain people, and under the betrayal of this group of nobles, they were able to lead their troops to complete the raid, and it was under the betrayal of this wave of people that Radivo soon fell.
(In fact, there is a second reason, that is, the outposts on the outskirts of La Divo are all located in the north, and there are only small fields in the south of La Divo, and further south is already the land of the mountain people, so if the mountain people want to raid La divo, they will only be detected when they reach the outskirts of the city south of La divo.) )
After the capture of La Divou, to the cheers of many nobles, the new law of La Divo was passed, which gave absolute autonomy and absolute freedom to the people, and the nobles of La divo did not need to pay any taxes to the lord.
This condition would not have been proposed by any Grand Duke who aspired to rule the principality, but unlike the Principality, the foundation of the Empire was no longer in the city, but in the mountains, and the reason why it was necessary to seize Radivo was only to lock the passage of the mountains, so it was natural that it could be let go so easily.
The news of the seizure of Radivo soon reached the desk of Berengarh IV, who choked Berengaral IV so much that he immediately sent an envoy to question him, and Sverson's reminder replied loudly:
"Since the Grand Duke, Berengarh IV, promised me the position of the Grand Duke of Savan in the past, Radivo is naturally my territory, so I was just patrolling the territory a few days ago, and as for the conflict in Ladivos, it was a small mob trying to resist the lord, and I naturally pacified it. ”
In addition to this report, he also added an application: "The Duchy of Savani was privately named by the Savan family, and we were not consulted with us, and now we intend to restore the old name, but we think that the name 'Free Land of the Mountains' has long been outdated, so we wish to change the name to the 'Principality of Free Mountains', and I will become the Grand Duke of Free of the Mountains, and I hope that Your Excellency will submit the promise of the King." ”
Berengarh IV was choked by this reply, and asked when this group of vulgar mountain people had become so cunning, but after thinking about it again, Berengarh IV neither agreed nor denied it, even if the matter was so exposed.
The reason why Berengar IV agreed, also had his own difficulties, he used the power of a border area of the Principality of Ravenc, took advantage of the civil strife of the Savani Dynasty to seize the throne, and then led Isavan Lo and Sabe to fight for more than 20 years of war, regardless of financial and material resources have been on the verge of limit, and then think about the glorious record of freedom in the mountains, Berengar IV really does not have so much spare money to invest in pacifying the mountain people.
In addition, the mountain people also objectively created the conditions for the victory of Berengar IV, they controlled the mountains, and they did a good job of locking the road that Sabe cut off from the south to Isavanlo, in any case, it is better for the mountains to be controlled in the hands of the mountain people than in the hands of Sabe, and the mountain people do not have the capital to step out of the mountains.
Finally, it is the reason of Berengar IV himself, Berengar IV is getting older, his physical condition is declining day by day, and he is still holding on not abdicating, that is, he understands that now Ravenc can control Isafranro, all supported by his own prestige, so at this time, Berengar IV can only hope to end the war as soon as possible before his death, where can he get the energy to interfere in the mountains?
So 21 years after the destruction of the small regime of the mountain people by Manet III, the small regime belonging to the mountain people in the mountains was finally restored, and compared with the last time, this small regime was much more formal, no longer only destroying, but also began to develop and exchange with the outside world.
I think about it, it has been 34 years since 1821 to the present day, and I have finally lived up to the expectations of those departed compatriots, restored the peace of the mountains, and it is over, and everything is finally over. ”
More than ten years ago, Diga was angry in the face of the mountain people's heads stacked on top of each other, so he agreed to bridge the gap between the mountain people and himself, and once again fought side by side with the mountain people, but both the Riga and the Diga knew that the rift had not really been bridged, which was just a hypocritical illusion.
So since then, except for strategic matters, you rarely take the initiative to contact Tiga, and Tiga doesn't bother you, the two seem to respect each other as if they are guests, the two never talk to each other again, and they can no longer see the young man lying on the sloping grass, holding a dog's tail and lying to the mentor.
And today, when he changed from a temporary leader of the mountain people to the official Grand Duke of Mountain Freedom, he seemed to be relieved and confided in Tiga, which was the first time that he had talked to Tiga in so many years.
The jade-like transformer was as bright as when it was first dug up, but there were no warm words in it, and after half a ring, a voice slowly came out: "But now this free principality in the mountains, is it still the existence that your deceased compatriots want to restore?"
"What can we do? We have to move forward, we have to look forward! I remember you once said that I have changed, but people always change, who will be like the naïve obsessed with beautiful dreams when I was a child?"
Looking at this "mature" and "calm" old man (he is already in his fifties), and then thinking back to the young man who looked like Da Gu, young and immature, but with the righteousness of Da Gu, Di Jia couldn't help but sigh, "This is your choice", and sank down.
Diga knew that unless there was another war, the Rite would not contact him again for many, many years, and perhaps the next contact would be when the Rite was about to die.
However, Diga still relented, remembering the bits and pieces of his cultivation of the young man, so Diga secretly said in his heart: If the man talks to him again, not because he needs to fight but purely like the conversation when he was a teenager, then he will tell him the secret, the little man is not dead yet, and everything is still in time.
Unfortunately, until the time of his death, Tiga did not wait for this opportunity.
The conversation between Riga and Diga was a great failure, and Riga felt that he was in his fifties, that he had a grandson (albeit an illegal grandson), that he had matured, but Diga still regarded himself as the child, as the teenager who needed to be taught.
And after so many years of getting along with Diga, he also found that Diga's idea of the world was extremely naïve, he seemed to like the mountain people in a society without nobles, and recognized that everyone was equal in a certain sense (in the ancient era), but now even if the mountain people (leaders), who still wants the kind of society in the past?
Not to mention Tiga's thoughts, there was a ridiculous thing recently (1856) when Tuwak, the last main city of the Principality of the Mountains that was not ruled by the Principality of the Mountains, owned the gold mines, was deeply envious after seeing the happy life of the Habaro nobles, and actually sent an envoy to the half-nobles born in the mud to ask for it.
As for their internal request, Sverson felt that it was not necessary, Tuvak did not have any strategic role in the mountains, and the most valuable gold mine could cause trouble for the mountains, but the Grand Duke's son was very eager to put together the last piece of the puzzle of his own territory, so he did not fully follow Sverzon's proposal.
The Tuvak were still sent to accept the Tuvaks, but after some persuasion from Sverson, the Tuvak's autonomy did not include the gold mines, and since the gold mines were still in the hands of Isafranlo, Berengal IV turned a blind eye to this act, and the Yen had full ownership of the territory of the Free Duchy of the Mountains.
While the free principality of the mountains was living in peace, the 16-year-old War of the Succession to the Throne of Isavaloe ended in 1860 with the Second Peace of Saint-Alyon, in which Isavalo ceded Piraon and Nogodec to Sabe, so that Sabe would not lose nothing from a war and barely ended the war with dignity.
After the war, Berengar IV deposed the puppet king he supported, ending the 120-year rule of the Savani dynasty over Isavanna and allowing Isafan to enter the era of Nefi rule of the Ravenck nobility.
However, the first king of the Nefid dynasty was not Berengarh IV, but the son of Berengarh IV, Anlokad II, as the first king of the Nefid dynasty, whether it was the domestic post-war environment that urgently needed to be restored, or the die-hard remnants of the Savan dynasty, they all eyed the rule of the Nefid dynasty.
As a result of these more important threats, in 1861 Anlokaard II made an agreement with the Li, formally recognizing the Lige as the Lige of the Mountains, as well as his status as the Grand Duke of the Free of the Mountains.
After more than 30 years of resistance by the mountain people, it seems that it has finally come to an end and blossomed?
