Chapter 267: The Collapse of the Empire (5) A corner of the academy when the troubled times are rising
In the year 1414, it represents the highest university in Bourbon, the Bourbon Academy, located in Boris. Despite the intense turmoil in Bourbon today, the academy is still a scene of harmony.
In one of the classrooms in the academy, a gray-haired tutor is giving students a final review.
"Our Bourbon is vast and has a vast territory, can you tell us about the various administrative regions that our Bourbon is divided into?" the instructor asked gently, and then searched for a suitable person and asked him to get up.
After the students who were named stood up, they did not hesitate to name the three administrative regions: "The old waterway, the northern waterway and the southern waterway, of which the old waterway is divided into this district, the northern district and the southern district. β
The mentor nodded: "Very good, it is worthy of being a nobleman born in the old channel, and he knows so much about the old channel." You mentioned the three fairways of Bourbon, but what about the other boroughs?"
"Let me put my thoughts in order," the student said after waiting, then lowered his head, folded his fingers, and began to count the administrative districts he could remember.
After a long time, the student finally figured out how many administrative districts there were, and began to answer.
"The entire peninsula of Edonan in Middle-earth is our territory, but the Bourbon expedition is the sea, and there is no need to explore the interior, so the inland is given to our client state Edonan. Of course, there are some powerful chiefs of Edonan in the Edonan Peninsula who refuse our rule and still occupy our land in the east, but I believe that in time we will be able to drive them out of this land, which is the manifest destiny given to us by the god of the sea!"
"Very well, this is very Bourbon, to know that the official name of Edonan is the Union of Edonans by Grace, which is a testament to the contribution of our Bourbons to Edonan. And what about the others besides Edonan?" the mentor asked encouragingly.
"With the exception of the Edonan Client, the colonies of Bourbon in Middle-earth are divided into two main guards, the Middle-earth Colonial Guard and the Middle-earth Forest Colony. The Middle-earth Colonial Guard is the coastline of the Edonian Client State, while the Forest Colony is not strictly on the Edonan Peninsula, and I remember that they have a strait to distinguish ......"
Saying this, the student showed a puzzled expression, obviously forgetting the words. But this student can say so much, and the instructor is already very satisfied. The instructor then sat down the student and asked the other student to repeat the vast territory of Bourbon.
"He's told me about the island and the Middle-earth colonies, so can't I only say the Tenglong Continent?"
"Our great Bourbon colony on the continent of Tenron, named the Colony of Tenron, is mainly a circle around the Gulf of Myramie that colonizes the past and controls this vast bay. β
"In addition to the Dragon's Colony, there was also the Great Nine Years' War, which was fought before I was born, and we brought back to their homeland the Bourbon diaspora who had drifted away from the barbarian land of Ingona for hundreds of years, the Bourbon Diaspora League in the north of the Dragon's Colony Guard. β
Hearing this, the tutor nodded, and then deliberately ordered the students: "But students, you should not forget, after all, that group of expatriates has been in Ingona for hundreds of years, and they are also contaminated with some barbaric atmosphere, and after returning, they are not grateful for the kindness of our Bourbon, but they launched a rebellion more than ten years ago, which is really an unforgivable crime! I was infected by the Barbarians of Ingona! Sure enough, we need our ancient and glorious old channel to save them." β
When the instructor said this, most of the students in the classroom nodded their heads in agreement with the instructor's suggestion, and from time to time some people expressed their opinion that this group of people was no longer worthy of the title of Bourbon civilization and should be classified as another race.
And only a few students sitting in the corner, showing an indifferent posture, most of them were students from the Northern Passage and the Southern Passage, and those who showed an angry and gnashing of teeth were aristocratic students from the colonies.
"Barbarians, re-instructed, expelled from Bourbon, I'll go to you, if you're not a Bourbon, I'm not a Bourbon, I'm not uncommon to be a Bourbon!" a student from the Bourbon Diaspora Alliance in the corner, listening to the insult his mentor had insulted him, gritting his teeth and thinking in his heart, anger burning continuously.
However, what he thought in his heart was that most of the colleges in the classroom were just weeds on the side of the road, and it was not worth caring about at all after walking by, anyway, this group of colonial nobles was never the protagonist, and the glory was all to the old channel.
"In addition to the Bourbon Diaspora Union, there is the North Melami Sect, which is in the northern part of the Myramie Peninsula, which was once the majority of our other client state, Mirami, which I remember was destroyed more than eighty years ago. That's probably all there is to it. β
The mentor nodded, "Very well, you are generally right. North Myrami Correctional District, note that this correctional district, it is different from the suffix of other administrative districts, he does not use the waterway as a suffix, nor does he use the guard as a suffix, but uses the indoctrination area as a suffix. β
"Because, ah, the Merami are a barbaric and weak race - of course, compared to some hopeless garbage groups such as the Aianxi and the Bonn, the Merami who have bathed in our kindness for hundreds of years are still in the ranks that can be saved, and the rulers of Myrami do not know each other, so we Bourbon can only rule the indoctrination area ourselves, and educate the Merami people in Bourbon to make them more civilized. β
"Mentor, are we going to educate the Edonans?" After answering, one of the students asked the instructor a question after he was allowed to raise his hand.
The mentor's reply was, "Of course it will, but certainly not now, because the Edonans are still a motivated race, actively exterminating the hopelessly Anxi people." But according to the experience of the Myramis, when the Edonans wipe out the Aianxi people, they will lose their self-motivation, and at that time we Bourbon people need to further educate them and make them civilized. β
"The glory of Bourbon! the civilized world created by Bourbon!" At this time, one of the students spoke in praise of Bourbon without the permission of the teacher, but the teacher magnanimously allowed this kind of praise.
Of course, your answer was not a perfect score, because you also missed a Bourbon administrative division. But I won't blame you for that, because that administrative division is so remote and smallβso small that there is only one main city, 6 towns, and 14 villages, which is the Tumerio Transit in the mountains west of Bourbon Island. β
When the instructor said this, there was an exclamation of "oh" in the classroom, and the students had indeed missed this place, because it was so inconsequential.
The instructor also timely popularized the information of this place: "I remember that I mentioned here before, and the establishment of the Dumo Liao Transit Passage was not because there were any treasures there, but because of an achievement, the achievement of completing a week on Bourbon Island. β
"Many students like to choose the project of going around the island for a week when they graduate, and the biggest test of going around the island is that there are basically no Bourbon towns on the coastline from the northern channel to the southern channel, and the Dumo Liao transit road was born for this purpose. β
At the same time, the establishment of the Dumo Liao Transit Road also marks that the entire coastline of Bourbon Island is controlled by Bourbon, which has strong political significance. β
"And in addition to the Dumo Liao Transit Road, there is another place that you haven't said either, and that is the South Merami Concession. But I don't blame you for not mentioning this concession, after all, there is no such division in the official Bourbon administrative district. β
"The Southern Merami Concession was set up sporadically in the four main cities of Sapi, Napoli, Ogilvy and Becky in Maisica, and more than ten years ago we Bourbon could even impose customs duties there, but unfortunately in 1403, the contemptible Maisica, while we were busy with the riots of the barbarians in Aion Creek, joined hands with Ingona to cancel this power, but I believe that in my lifetime, Bourbon will be able to regain the lost rights again, and teach the hyena stealing Maisica a memorable lesson. β
At this time, another student was given the opportunity to speak: "Mentor, there is a question that has been held in my heart for a long time and has not been asked, and today I finally have the courage to ask. We Bourbon are so powerful and civilized, and the hopeless barbarians are all about it, but why should Maischka and Ingona keep resisting our Bourbons?
Hearing the student's question, the instructor smiled disdainfully.
"Don't you look at what kind of country Ingona and Maishika are? You know, we Bourbon are civilized countries, from the governor who represents the supreme power of the country, to the archon of the waterway, the appointed guard of the guard, and the appointed education officer of the indoctrination district, they are all elected by the literate and moral nobles of the island to represent the interests of the country. β
"The leader of the Ingona Alliance is elected in name, but in fact it rotates between several families. The Misica King has not changed for a hundred years. Not to mention these two foreign countries, let's just say that the alliance leader of the Bourbon Diaspora Alliance contaminated by Ingena culture is not also their own designation. β
Therefore, this group of people is naturally extremely reluctant to accept the rule of Bourbon, and their lower classes are very willing to accept the Bourbon civilization, but they definitely do not include the leaders of those barbarian countries. β
"So we Bourbon are the beacon of civilization and the leader of the world!" the classroom cheered again, of course only for the cadets born in the old passage, the cadets of the Northern and Southern Passages were still indifferent, and the cadets of the colonies were still gritting their teeth.
At the end, the instructor summarized today's lesson.
"The Old Passage, the Southern Passage, the Northern Passage, the Dumo Liao Transit Route, the Middle Earth Colonial Guard, the Middle Earth Forest Colonial Guard, the Tenglong Colonial Guard, the North Merami Religious District, the Bourbon Expatriate Union, the Edonan Client State, the South Meramie Concession, so many administrative districts constitute our Bourbon territory, this is our great Bourbon, living in this civilized country, living in this beautiful era, is the glory of all our Bourbons! No one can disobey the will of Bourbon!"
Just as the classroom was about to erupt in a new round of cheers, an alarm sounded from the Academy, which was used by the Academy to notify the emergency and get all instructors to stop teaching.
"The devotees, students, and helpers of the academy have received the sad news that Bourbon and Bonn's rebel chieftain Surifer have signed the Dolomy Confession, recognizing Pocom's independence from Bourbon, so there is a moment of silence. β
The students in the classroom who were about to cheer for the content of the instructor's lecture were almost speechless because all their excitement was hit to the bottom by this cold news.
And the student from the Diaspora Alliance in the corner, looking at the expression of most of the academy that "the ecstasy of the previous moment and the shock of this moment and the sadness of the next moment" were mixed together, and the grievances he had suffered over the years came to his heart, and he laughed out loud, regardless of the impact.
"The Bourbon deserve eternal glory, and I am proud to be a Bourbon, and no one can disobey the will of the Bourbon. β
