Chapter 350: Overseas Distant Country: Lost Dream of the South Island (Beginning) An independent island on the sea
In the world of cold games, there are three continents, three large islands and an archipelago, the mainland is the largest Middle-earth continent, the southern Xinjiang continent in the south and the Tenglong continent in the east, the big islands are the Maosu Island in the northwest of the Middle-earth continent, Bourbon Island sandwiched between Middle-earth and Tenglong, and Maz Island sandwiched between Tenglong and southern Xinjiang, and the archipelago is the North Islands in the east of Middle-earth and the north of Tenglong Continent.
These geographical common senses are mentioned in the myths of every civilization, but for many civilizations, such as the Bafilk civilization in the south of Middle-earth, Middle-earth is the whole world, and for the civilization of the Southern Xinjiang continent, the southern Xinjiang continent is the whole world, and for the civilization of the Norse Islands, the Norse Islands are the whole world.
The second most knowledgeable of these civilizations were the Efonchi, who came from the island of Mau, and because the island was too close to Middle-earth and not far from the nearest civilization, the Roman Hephi, the island of Mausu was quickly integrated into Middle-earth.
The Bourbon people have the most abundant geographical knowledge, and even the geographical knowledge of the maritime countries with Bourbon is higher than that of other places, because Bourbon Island is blessed, and the Edonan Peninsula in the Middle Earth continent and the Myramie Peninsula in the Tenglong continent are not far away, so you can colonize the two continents with Bourbon Island, and you have the deepest understanding of the surrounding areas.
Among the three large islands of Mausu, Bourbon and Maz, Maz Island is the loneliest island, although it is sandwiched between the two continents, whether it is the Southern Xinjiang Continent or the Tenglong Continent, there is a certain distance from Maz Island, so they are not aware of the existence of Maz Island.
Of course, it would be wrong to say that the mainland is completely unaware of the existence of Maz Island.
As early as the end of the sixth century, in "Thirty Thousand Miles to the South, I Return with Lull", Martin recorded that he and Lull drifted to a large island in the south, and lived there for a time, which is the only record left by the island of Maz to the outside world, and since then it has been cut off from the outside world, and is once again hidden in the fog, as invisible as the Bourbon sailors who have left behind.
Nearly a thousand years later, another Bourbon crossed the vast ocean and set foot on the land of Maz Island, where he would stay for many years.
Yes, he is Gross, the ancestor of the Warlocks, who in 1607 forced his way across the sea to the misty Isle of Maz by relying on his strange abilities and the plug-in given by Leng Yi.
When he first arrived on Maz Island, Gross was at a loss, after all, he did not understand the language of the locals, so he had to seek the help of the devil, after all, the devil is the symbol of the world.
After Gross summoned the Devil, the Devil said that the immortal epic beastmaster he killed on the way was enough to offset the bill, so he readily and directly gave him the ability to understand the local language and read the local language.
With this ability, Gross was able to search for local records and try to learn about the history of the Isle of Maz.
So, let's leave Gross for a moment and look at the history of the Isle of Maz.
In the distant past, Maz Island, like Mausu Island, was very close to the Tenglong Continent, which made it easy for countless tribes of the Tenglong Continent to cross the strait and enter Maz Island for safaris.
With an earthquake, Maz Island was far away from the Tenglong Continent, and communication between the two landmasses gradually became difficult, so that the contact was completely severed, and the tribes left on the island could not return to it completely.
The tribes that remained on the island of Maz merged over thousands of years to form two groups, the Mayana in the north and the Zlai in the south.
Among these two ethnic groups, the first to light the dawn of civilization were the Mayana people, who led the Sos tribe and established a state in 513 A.D., which was simply called Manada.
The Manada people are similar in belief to ancient Egypt, a city-state believes in a thing, which can be either natural or living - of course, in the later period, fetishism is unified, one main city has one faith, and whichever main city is strong, which worship object is the most powerful.
It is because of this characteristic that Manada is targeted by the weakest fetishism of the eight gods in the heavenly realm, just one god and one main city, there are enough places to be allocated, and because Maz Island is naturally isolated, they can play stand-alone behind closed doors without worrying about the attack of the outside world.
The title of the supreme ruler of Manada is "King", or "Queen" in the case of women. Manada had female rulers, even more often than any other civilization, because the Manada believed that women were more likely to communicate with the gods by communicating with the gods.
For example, when Luel was exiled to Manada nearly a thousand years ago, the king who ruled Manada at that time was a queen, and her successor was also a queen, as mentioned in Martin's account.
Under the "king", the ruler of a large region is called Chang in Manada, while the ruler of the main city is called the lord and the ruler of the town is called the auxiliary, which is the title system of Manada.
As for Manada's political system, as far as Leng Yi is concerned, it is the monarchy that is handed over to the oligarchy, and the reason for this is probably because Manada has a city and a totem, which is naturally dispersed. In fact, in the early days, Manada had a strong tendency towards feudal succession.
Manada's political system reminds Leng Yi of Maisica, a country that is also ruled by a family for a period of time, and if there is an unforgivable mistake, it will lead to a change of dynasty.
For example, the Delodas voluntarily abdicated and were forced to step down by the Delos, or simply started a civil war, such as the Delos family was beaten by the Bourbons, and the Delos family refused to step down, which eventually led to a civil war, and the Rus family overthrew the Delos family and established the Rus dynasty.
Manada has some of the same, but there are also differences, that is, after a dynasty is overthrown, it is not replaced by a new dynasty, but the system of electing kings is restored, and the various nobles elect the king of Manada.
In the early days, Manada, like Surassie, was a group of city-states that came together to elect their leaders—Surassi elected the chief priests, and Manada elected the king of Manada.
And the establishment of Manada is because of the efforts of the Soth tribe, this tribe is naturally stronger than other tribes, and it is the same after it evolves into a country, 5 of the first 9 generations of kings are members of the Sos family, so the increasingly powerful Sos family simply abolished the election and changed to a hereditary system, and directly appointed that each generation of kings is a member of the Sos family, which is the Sos dynasty in the history of Manada.
The reign of the Sos dynasty lasted from 621 to 857, and the queen that Lull met when he arrived in Manada in 695 was the fifth queen of the Sos dynasty.
By the way, the end of the group of Bourbons who Gross was very interested in the Soth dynasty.
When the first generation of Bourbon sailors died, their children lost their interest in them without the benefit of foreign lands, and they were not abandoned, thanks to the efforts of one man, Darmado, the sailor who helped him a lot when Lure left.
Damadot was the most favored Bourbon sailor by the queen, and was even canonized as a Manada nobleman in 708, with the middle name of Fai, and was given the surname Bourbon in memory of his Bourbon descendants.
This is a great honor, and because of this honor, Damado has also become the best among the Bourbon sailors, and all the other descendants of the Bourbon sailors live closely around the Bourbon family, and because they are in a foreign country and are the descendants of the same race, they urgently need to be together.
Therefore, a few generations later, the descendants of those sailors were all integrated into the Bourbon family, and when we talk about the Bourbon family, we refer to the descendants of this group of Bourbon remnants.
And this group of Bourbon descendants still has an advantage over the Manadans, that is, they are more business-savvy, perhaps this is the nature of the Bourbons? Because of their outstanding ability, the queen even handed over her property to the Bourbon family to let them do some business for herself.
The comfortable days of the Bourbons lasted until 857 A.D., the year in which the Sos dynasty was replaced by the Fassaka dynasty, who had to be responsible for their defeat in a rebellion caused by the western Zla barbarians.
After the Soth family stepped down, they began to shrink their strength, and Bourbon, who was in charge of managing the Soth family's trade, instantly became a child that no one wanted.
Now that the Bourbon family is in trouble, countless other Bourbon Manadas have taken the opportunity to fall into the well on the pretext that the other party is a foreign lowly race.
It just so happened that the newly ascended Fassaka dynasty also looked at Bourbon unpleasantly, and now there was a foreign country on Maz Island, and foreign countries were no longer synonymous with rarity, but synonymous with evil and barbarism, so the Fassaka dynasty disposed of the Bourbon family in accordance with public opinion, and laughed at their property by the way.
Now that the Soth family has knelt down, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the Bourbon family, as a fierce dog of Soth, can only obediently accept their own judgment, and was sentenced by the Fassaka dynasty to be exiled to the barren East, and go to the Yellow Horn Bay to play Jedi with the barbarians.
Fassaka used public opinion (commoners are considered, only our glorious nobles are people) to overthrow Soth, and naturally he also has to take the responsibility of public opinion, that is, to bring Manada the glory he craves, otherwise Fassaka can use this reason to overthrow Soth today, and other families can use this reason to overthrow Fassaka tomorrow.
So the Fassaka dynasty launched several attacks on Zla, but the results were not smooth, and once they lost badly, which made the Manada nobles dissatisfied and made a fuss about the removal of Fassaka. And Fassaka is not like Soss, in fact, after seeing the fate of the Soss family being overthrown, Fassaka did not dare to learn from Soss, so he resolutely refused to step down.
Damn, you Fassaka, I only knew that you were incompetent before, but now I know that you are not only incompetent but also shameless, so what should you do to deal with this kind of person? Maisica has already given the answer, and history is always similar, although the time is different and the place is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, the choice of the two countries is the same - to fight, to beat this grandson.
In 911 A.D., a civil war broke out in Manada demanding an end to the Fassaka dynasty, and the civil war soon expanded in scale and became a large civil war unprecedented in Manada.
It's a pity that this time is different, don't forget that there is a Zra watching in the west, and seeing Manada fighting so happily, Zla sent an army to bring warmth to Manada.
The people of Manada are good, even if the Zla people come to send warmth, they still insist on fighting for another 2 years, only to feel that it is wrong, this Zla who steals chickens is getting more and more fierce, and now the Glendor Mountains have been lost, and the Zla people are constantly invading the place where Manada rises, if we continue the civil war, I am afraid that something will not be good.
There was no way, the Fassaka side and the rebel side had to pinch their noses and compromise, regardless of whether Fassaka stepped down or not, and beat the Zla out first.
Perhaps it was the gods who favored Manada, and King Zla skillfully fought on the battlefield, leaving Zla in chaos, and finally fought for a few years before Zla was beaten out of the land of Manada's rise, although Glendor's piece had been lost, but it was an unconditional peace, ending the war.
The Zla people retreated, the new problems were finally solved, and as soon as the external contradictions eased, the old problems reappeared, and they urgently needed to be solved, that is, should they continue to make trouble and let Fassaka get out?
