Chapter 353: Distant Dreams of the South Island (4) The Republic on the Golden Horn

Luhr's eloquence is good, and he tells the family's history in an extremely organized manner, which makes Gross guess that maybe this is not the first time that Lull has told others about the past of the Bourbons.

Lull first started with the fall of the Bourbon sailors, the test of the five sea dragons, the ill-intentioned competitors, and he highlighted the experience of Darmado, and introduced in detail how the ancestor Dammadot became the one valued by the queen among the Bourbon sailors, and was given the illustrious experience of being given the surname.

The process of this was said by Luhr to be twists and turns, thrilling, and the characters who appeared were very facial, the Bourbon family were all great, and the opponents were all thieves, which made Gross guess in his heart that Luer was mixed with a lot of deductive ingredients.

"Lord Gross, according to the records of the ancestors, the composition of people's names in their hometown is first and surname, whether it is a noble or a commoner, opposite?"

"Yes," Lull replied.

However, the composition of the name of Manada was different from that of the homeland, in which the poor had only a name, or were given a surname by the street, and the wealthy commoners occasionally had a surname, but the nobility was different. ”

"In Manada, the middle name of the nobleman is Fai, and Fai means from, and having Fai as a middle name means that you are a noble person! ”

Hearing this, Gross remembered the pedestal of the statue of Lure that he had seen in the square earlier, and the name engraved on the pedestal was Luhr Fay Lure Bourbon. Looking back now, from left to right, the first Luhr is the name, Fai is "from", the second Luhr means the family branch, and Bourbon is the family name.

When in doubt, he asked, so Gross asked: "I used to go to your square before I came here, and there is a statue of Luhr on the square, and the pedestal is engraved with Luhr Fay Luhr Bourbon, but the real surname of 'Navigator' Luhr is not Bourbon, why do you write that?"

The patriarch of the family, Luhr, touched his nose with a little embarrassment: "Your Excellency Gross, you must know that our Bourbon descendants are a minority in Manada, so we can't live if we don't report to the group, so it's good ......for everyone to unify our ancestors."

Then, as if he was afraid that Gross would misunderstand something, Lull hurriedly added: "Your Excellency Gross, although we have taken the liberty of tampering with the surname of Luer's ancestor, we have preserved his honor, and the spiritual wealth he taught us and bequeathed to us is still popular in the Maranch aristocratic circles."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Gross interrupted Lull's speech, "Navigator" Lull left behind a spiritual wealth?

The patriarch of the family, Luhr, nodded vigorously, and said as a matter of course: "The republican system of Bourbon, the urban architecture of Bourbon, these must be the spiritual wealth left by the ancestor Luer, after all, among the Bourbon sailors at that time, only the ancestor Luer was a nobleman, and only the nobles knew this knowledge." ”

It is true that the complete system is only understood by the aristocracy, but the urban buildings and republican systems that Gross has browsed for so many days can only be said to have a bourbon skin, and many others are mixed with Maranch's system.

In Gross's view, Luhr's influence on them was minimal, and whether Maranch could have an aristocratic republic or rely on the freedom of the descendants of the Bourbon sailors. But has the spirit of nobility been deeply rooted in the marrow of the natives? Even if the contributions of one's ancestors are eliminated, should they be blamed on the people of Luhr......?

When the Bourbons were exiled to Tyme in 860 by King Manada of the Fassaka dynasty, the land known as the Yellow Horn was still undeveloped, and only Lenik Nunn in the west was barely popular.

In this sinister situation, the ancestors of the Bourbon family did not be arrogant, did not fall willingly, and bravely fought the heavens and the earth, on behalf of the Manada people to nail the nail in the local area, and the land of the Yellow Horn is actually very fertile land, even the most fertile land on the entire Maz Island, with this unique environment, the local area developed rapidly, becoming the Golden Horn.

After the development of the Golden Horn, the Bourbon family, which was once like a dog that lost their home, also trembled, and even took the Soth family, who had declined to poverty and could not eat, to the Golden Horn and raised them and turned over to be the masters.

In the Golden Horn, due to the label of the remnants of the Bourbon family, the Bourbon family did not dare to and the upper echelons of Manada would not allow them to control local self-control like Manada, so the Golden Horn implemented a Bourbon republic.

Of course, there is a big question mark here, the so-called Bourbon republic in the Golden Horn is actually a republic made by the Bourbon family through ancestral records combined with conjecture. Although the republic is not compatible with the Bourbon style, the land system is incompatible with Manada in the west, for example, by commerce.

The Fassakas did not know much about the operation of a republic, but it was enough to know that in the case of a republic, the Bourbons would not be able to control the land as much as the West.

After entering the 13th century, due to the continuous wars with Zla and the domestic tax resistance riots, Manada pressed the Golden Horn more and more ruthlessly, the methods became more and more brutal, and the appearance became more and more ugly.

In 1358, the Golden Horn launched a tax rebellion against Manada under the leadership of Andor Fay Lure Bourbon, and the anger of the people of the Golden Horn burned, and the rebellion quickly swept through the Golden Horn, catching Manada by surprise.

Finally, in 1365, Manada gave up the attack on Maranch, and Maranch's independent state, following the example of Bourbon, combined historical data and speculation to establish a republican state, officially known as the "Golden Horn Merchant Oligarch Republic of the Manadans", with its capital at Tym and its first consul being Andor.

The supreme ruler of Maranch is the Governor, which is a reference to Bourbon, but the bureaucratic hierarchy below is the Chief-Chief-Auxiliary, which shows the result of a mash-up of the two civilizations.

Of course, although Manada gave up attacking Maranqi in 1365, he refused to give up for a long time, and thought that he could return to his division to recover Maranqi after solving Zra, and in 1367, Manada turned against Maranqi in the cities of the Bimonga Coast, which made Manada even more furious.

The state of unpeace between the two countries lasted until 1374, when Manada, who was beaten to pieces by Zla in the west, and Manada, who was worried that Zla and Maranqi were attacked, reluctantly recognized Maranqi's independence.

Maranqi was much less aggressive than Zla, and the Maranch ruler was more interested in sending merchants to do business and bring in more income than attacking and annexing more land.

Thus, after an early period of the Cold War, Manada finally re-admitted Maranch, allowing his merchants to re-enter the country to do business—after all, without the goods of the Golden Horn, the Manada nobles were miserable.

Especially in the war with Zila from 1390 to 1399, Maranch helped Manada a lot. Zla wanted to attack Manada, so he communicated with Maranqi and wanted to attack Manada with Maranqi, but Maranqi sold the news to Manada, so that Manada had a defense against Zra, and then Maranqi sent mercenaries to help Manada defend against Zra.

With this contribution, Manada eventually granted some trade privileges to Maranda, and the merchants of Maranch were able to enter all walks of life in Manada, and in 1461 they were even granted the right to tax the Manada Warden Region!

The so-called tax package right means that Manada designates a tax target in a region and lets Maranqi collect taxes, as long as he earns enough tax revenue for Manada, the rest of the income is handled by Maranqi himself.

From this transfer of the right to tax, it can be seen that Manada has declined to the point where it is unable to collect enough taxes from the core areas of its own rule, has lost control over the lower classes, and is in dire need of finance.

Of course, you can't say that the rulers of Manada were stupid forks, and they also had a conspiracy to transfer the right to pack taxes. In their opinion, Ma Lanqi will definitely be taxed to death when transferring the right to include tax, so that the more taxes are collected, the more benefits Ma Lanqi will receive.

And after doing so, it will make the people of the Warden Region hate Maranqi, and if Maranqi wants to annex the Warden Region in the future, it will take a lot of effort.

Manada's abacus played very well, but was seen through by Governor Maranqi, so Governor Maranqi showed small favors to the Watchman Region on the one hand, and at the same time through complex tax adjustments, the people in the Watchmen Region were overtaxed and counted the money to Maranqi, Manada can be said to have lost his wife and soldiers.

Time passed again, and as Maranda's economic activities deepened, most of Manada's wealth was sucked into Maranda's pocket, and Manada's even the nobility began to fall into ruin and go bankrupt one by one.

If it was in the Bourbon Sea, the nobles there must know why, because this is how Myrami was led, but no one knew about Maz Island, at least not the nobles of Manada.

Although he didn't know why Manada was getting poorer and poorer, but the salary for training soldiers was lacking, Manada still knew this, so in the absence of any way, Manada even sold the small area in the forest to Maranqi!

Although the western part of the small forest area has been completely occupied by Zla, leaving a considerable amount of land, this is at least the first expansion of Maranqi since the founding of the country.

Of course, Manada has a dark mind about this land sale: in the last war, the small forest area has been occupied by Zra, and after the small forest area was sold to Maranqi, Maranqi and Zla bordered, maybe this can drag Maranqi into the battlefield against Zla?

As a result, King Zla is not a fool, on the one hand, he allows the merchants of Maranqi to enter Zla to repair the relationship between the two sides, and on the other hand, he aims at Manada to fight to the death, that is, he wants to kill you first.

Maranqi knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so at the beginning he also provided some war funding to Manada - of course, in exchange for domestic minerals and the like, but after more than ten years of support, the Manada War became worse and worse, especially in the war that broke out in 1574, Manada's performance was miserable.

Seeing Manada's performance, Maranqi was not good, and decisively cut the flesh and stopped the loss - ah no, it was a stone, and quickly marched towards the Watcher Region that had been infiltrated into his own land by Maranqi, and then encircled and suppressed Manada's last army with Zla, which was the one led by the great-grandson of General Avis.

Eventually, 17 years earlier, in 1590, Manada had perished because of Zla's attack and Malanqi's treachery, and Maranqi became the sole representative of the Manadas.

In fact, after the demise of Manada, Maranqi was a little panicked, which meant that they came into direct contact with Zla. However, it seems that God bless Maranqi, after Zla destroyed Manada, he actually tore up within himself because of how to deal with the newly occupied land from Manada, and the nobles of Zla fought with each other with new hatred and old hatred.

When Gross arrived on Maz Island, Governor Maranqi's governing philosophy was to repair relations with Zla, so that Zla could become Maranqi's next trade partner like Manada.

When Gross first heard Maranch praying for peace with Zra, he felt that the Governor Maranch was naïve to die, and he froze in his heart that Maranch would soon be invaded by Zla and follow in Manada's footsteps.

As a result, Gross miscalculated, and Maranch continued to exist, and despite the growing social problems, the border with Zila remained harmonious.

Gross's prediction was wrong, not because of how Maranch was going to blow up the sky, but because there was a problem with Zla, the object of the fable's execution, and a series of rebellions were about to tear the country apart.
