Chapter 508: The Final Battle of the Sea of Bourbon (10) The Trade War on Maz Island
Of the 25 ships, only 3 escaped, although some nobles in the country had various reasons to explain, saying that there was no commander, no preparation, that the harbor ship was not suitable for fighting in the open sea, etc., but defeat is defeat, this is an indisputable fact, and this fact makes the national consciousness of the Potloo camp Makina feel heavy.
After the "Battle of Teassi Naval Battle" reached Oli, the nobles were divided into three factions, silent, compromised and retreated, and resolutely fought back.
Magina did not rush to the verdict so early, because the experience of years of political struggle gave Magina a hunch that the countermeasures of Hades, the national consciousness of the Boris camp, were not over.
Sure enough, at the end of the Chinese New Year in 2025, Boris repeated the old tune and issued a new decree, namely the "Bourbon Island Piracy Prevention Agreement", as for who is the "pirate" in Boris's opinion, it is self-evident.
You must know that although the trade of Laventica, the trade of Cornigta and the trade of Maz Island do not need to pass through Boris, if Polly wants to communicate with Portlou, he cannot sail directly to the other side without calling at the port of merchant ships, and must dock at the port of Pokang or Bourbon for transit, and these two countries are vassal states of Boris.
So Boris sent a special fleet, docked in the ports of Pokang and Bourbon, ready to attack at any time, intercepting "suspected pirate" ships at sea, and then ranging from taxation and seizure to destruction.
History of Bourbon's Naval Wars, Chapter 6: The Age of Re-Crisis
[In the year 2025 of the Great Calendar and the 609th year of the founding of Boris, Boris promulgated the "Bourbon Island Piracy Prevention Pact", launching a dangerous counterattack against the alliance on the other side (after all, this kind of behavior is extremely easy to provoke war if it is not careful), while the surface attitude is harsh on the other side, Boris also sent a secret messenger to visit Portlou and Polly. γ
[When the secret envoy (unfortunately, I have not been able to find out who this secret envoy is) arrives at the border between Potruw and Polly, he speaks with the following words: "The Sea King of Boris thinks that the era of crisis should be eased again, I wonder what your opinion is?]
[Polly's reply is very tactful: "We listen to the answer of the leader of the alliance on the other side, and we will have no complaints in this matter," thus kicking the power of the answer to the side of Potlou. γ
[After learning that Polly was unwilling to make a decision, Portloo spent 3 days holding a secret meeting to discuss, and finally the nobles who supported the dΓ©tente passed the resolution by a narrow margin, so Portloo's answer was, "We support a secret dΓ©tente that is not open to the public."] γ
[Thus, the era of re-crisis, which lasted for 8 years, came to an end temporarily, and the situation in the Bourbon Sea began to ease for the second time, and finally the First World War did not break out in this era. γ
The "era of re-crisis" was led by Polly, and Portloo started the climax, and Boris's sharp counterattack made Portloo back down and ended the "era of re-crisis", but the hostility between the two sides did not diminish as a result, and the two camps were looking for new opportunities, opportunities to kill each other.
Obviously, the biggest breakthrough now is the south, which is still ambiguous about the two alliances, the pair of Braazon and Bhutoxi, and Hades has found a new way of thinking about the attitude towards this country, so he decided to find the other side unhappy.
In the past, the attitude of Boris led by Hades towards BrayazΓ³n and Bhutoxi was to unconditionally support Bhuttoxi, who had the fourth most powerful navy in the Bourbon Sea, and Hades even promised that as long as Bhutoxsi could join the island customs union, the land south of the Meirami Peninsula would be annexed by Bhuttoxi.
But it was such a relaxed condition, but Butoxi was unwilling, because Boris made it very clear that he was only willing to provide naval support to Bhuttoxi, but what Bhutoxi needed was an army! Without an army, what would Bhutoxi do to resist Brayazon?
But now Hades has changed his mind and is ready to tackle the Braazon problem.
History of the Bourbon Maritime Wars, Chapter 7: The Trade Wars on the Isle of Maz
[Translator's Guide: In Chapter 7 of the History of the War, Hudros introduces the last war before the war, the Trade War on Maz Island, and focuses on the intervention of the forces of Boris and Potru. γ
[In the year 2027 of the Great Calendar, just 2 years after the end of the era of re-crisis, Boris sent secret envoys, one team to BrayazΓ³n, the other to Butoxi, my grandfather Napolika was one of the secret envoys to Braazon, relying on his dictation, I know more about this secret operation than others. γ
[In the royal palace of Braaazon, the person who persuaded the Great King of Braazon was my grandfather, because my grandfather could speak fluent Brayazon, and he said this to the Great King of Brayazon:]
["Honorable King Munoandonio V, Greeting, as the great envoy of Boris, I have come here to persuade you, please do not worry about my intentions, although I will not harm Boris, but since I dare to come to persuade you, it means that I will not harm Brayazon. βγ
["The predecessor of Butoxi was the Nekosin, and the predecessor of the Nekosi was the New Navigation Nation, and the New Navigation Nation was an Inner State under Blayason, which is a well-known thing, so Bhutoxi should have been the territory of Blayason, which is also a well-known thing. βγ
["It's a pity that Butoxi has been friendly with Potlou for generations, so Butoxie is not only out of control, but also bigger and bigger, and even counterattacks the territory of Brayason, which is really very hateful! βγ
["Then why hasn't Braazon recovered the land now?Is it because your army is not as elite as Bhutoxi?Is it because your nobles are not as strong as Bhutoxi?Is it because your beliefs are not as pious as Bhutoxi?,No, the reason why you don't want to recover Bhutoxi, is just that you are afraid that attacking Bhutoxi will provoke Portoux's interference, just like Portoux's has done in the past few hundred years, like it was done in the two 'Tokxi Wars.'" βγ
["The relationship between Potloo and Butoxi is so good, but why didn't Portlou help Butoxi invade your land? This is because of us, the great Boris, who is defending the justice of the Bourbon Sea, and Portlou is afraid that he will be attacked by us when he invades the south, after all, for Portlou, Brayazon is very far south. βγ
["You worry about each other, you fear each other, so after the Second Tokxi War, peace has been maintained in the Southern Myramie region for more than forty years, you may think that this is the wisdom of compromise, but in my opinion, it is very wrong!
In my opinion, yes, this means that if you ignore Portoux's warnings and insist on attacking Bhutoxi, Portlou will not declare war on you for fear of justice, and will only intervene in you without any pain, and if you do not want to destroy Bhutoxi, but only to recover the territories ceded in the Second Tokxi War, it will be difficult for Portlou to convince the country to provoke a full-scale war for such reasons. βγ
"So the best option for you now is to declare war on Butoxi immediately, so that you can recover your territory and make you the famous King of Braazon. Otherwise, if Bhutoxi completely falls to Portoux, your chance will be completely lost, and you will have to follow Portolu's arrangement and maintain an irritating balance with Bhuttoxi. βγ
This is Boris's demagogy of Brayason, and history does not record Boris's demagogy of Bhutoxi, but the reason for the pan-side penetration is estimated to be similar.
Come on, come on, don't be cowardly, just do it, I added a balance buff to you, Potloo doesn't dare to interfere in your war, give it to me, fight and fight!
The following speech is addressed to the king of the mortal world, and the above speech is addressed to the national consciousness, and after thinking for a while, the national consciousness of the Blayasong camp Shuraqi felt that it could be done.
After being buffed by Boris, Butoxi still had no reaction, and Brayazon was immediately anxious, so he sent a stern request to Bhutoxi, ordering Bhutoxsi to fulfill the obligations of a vassal state and pay a full amount of trade income from Maz Island.
After the outbreak of the war, Portlou was really uncomfortable, and it stands to reason that the most direct way is to go directly into it, but Magina has been trying to keep the South in peace and balance, and does not want too much change in the South, and the past intervention wars do not seem to be able to be carried out now, after all, there is Boris next door eyeing him, so he decided to take a look first.
[After Brayazon declared war on Butoxi, he quickly divided his troops into two routes, one army reached Madani and surrounded it (Madani was the only main city with an official road to Forles), and Madani's defenders failed to drive out of the city several times, and had to retreat into the city, so Brayazon cut off the connection between Butoxsi and the interior of Nasumiwei. γ
[The second army of Brayason, led by Yahidi, the daughter of the Mi Fu family Tyre, marched into the interior of the Nai Su Mi Guard. When the Blayazon army set foot on the Nasumi Guard, almost the entire Blayasong nobles of the Nasumi Guard rebelled against Butoksi, and the defenders of the Butoksi Nasumi Guard were quickly expelled. γ
[As for the attack of Blayassoon, Butoxi did not have the courage to fight him at Nasumiwe, firstly because Nasumiwe was located inland where the navy could not interfere, and secondly, because Nasumiwe was a territory conquered in the "First Toksi War", and there were many excluded and resentful Blayasson nobles inside. γ
[So Bhutoxi's commander at the Nasumi Guard, Luhr, the son of the Volgado family Rondo, quickly made a decision to lead the defenders of the Nasumi Guard to retreat south of the Forlace Isthmus, and not to engage Braazon in the interior. γ
[Therefore, after assembling the defenders, Luer went south to try to relieve the siege of Madani, and the siege of Madani broke out the Battle of Madani, as a result, Yahidi led the elite to raid overnight, and raided the rear of Lur's army during the scorching period of the battle, resulting in a crushing defeat for Butoxie in Madani, and then being chased and killed all the way, and was defeated for hundreds of miles. γ
[On the sixth day after the defeat of the Battle of Madani, the defenders of Madani surrendered to Brayazon, and Yahidi quickly surrounded and blocked the Isthmus of Forles, which caused the army led by Lul to become a turtle in an urn, and the whole army was in danger of being wiped out at any time. γ
[In desperation, Lul sent an envoy to Ulch to ask for the release of the right of entry to the port of Lotte (Lotte is west of Madani), and after Ulch asked for instructions from Potloo, he agreed to Lull's request, so Butexsi's army returned from Lotte by sea, avoiding the danger of total annihilation. γ
[The poor performance of the Butoxi Army in the war made Portlu have serious doubts, if he was in a war with Boris, with the performance of the Butoxy Army, even if he had the fourth strongest navy in the Bourbon Sea, how much assistance could he provide to Portlu in the war?
[Although the retreat in Lotte helped Bhutoxi, because of Bhutoxi's poor performance in the land battle, the disappointed Pottolu decided to choose Brayason. As a result, Portlu finally relented, and as long as Braazon was willing to join the Alliance, Portlou supported the territorial changes that would take place in the south if Butoxi did not destroy the country. γ
[The news that Portlou, a century-old friend, actually abandoned himself at such a time made Bhutoxi very disappointed, and it was at this time that Boris found Bhutoxi. As a result, Portlou supported Braazon and Boris supported Butoxi, and the "Maz Island Trade War" turned into a proxy war. γ
