In the year 1443, when I was 46 years old, André III died in the process of pacifying our righteous overthrow, because he failed to fulfill his promise before he came to power, bringing long-lost glory to Bourbon and reducing taxes to Bourbon, so he followed in the footsteps of Luhr VIII and was abandoned by Bourbon.

Although Boris and I staged a second coup d'état, we were not worried about the outcome of the coup d'état, because what we had to do was much easier than Andrei III.

You must know that Andrei III had to win the civil war while cutting taxes to show that he was different from the landlosers, which put great pressure on Andrei III, because once there was peace, it was tantamount to denying Andrei III's own legitimacy.

But we don't need it, we launched a coup d'état under the slogan of seeking peace, Bourbon has been at war for too long, the Bourbons don't care about glory anymore, they just want peace, and we usurp the throne under the slogan of peace, we just need peace.

This is the reason why I took refuge in Boris, and I think that Boris's appeal was much easier than that of Andrei III, whose decline in the later period was visible even to me, a mid-level officer.

After the successful coup d'état, without even having time to enter the General Assembly Palace, Boris hurriedly gathered the masses of Boris, displayed the body of Andrei III in front of the masses, and listed the tyranny of Andrei III.

I wonder what will happen to Boris? Thinking of this, I can't help but shudder, I have too deep a relationship with Boris, if something happens to Boris, it will be difficult for me to imagine my end.

Faced with the summoned citizens of Boris, Boris counted Andrei III's three major sins in front of Andrei III's corpse: first, failing to cut taxes, second, failing to end the war, and thirdly, leaving aside the General Palace and confined the entire Bourbon decision-making to his small circle, so Boris justly overthrew Andrei III.

Speaking of which, Lord Boris, weren't you also a member of Andrei III's clique?

And in the face of the citizens of Boris, Boris also made a promise - perhaps because they were all usurped by coup d'état, they need to make a commitment to secure their position.

Boris promised: first, he would soon end the intervention war and return peace to the Bourbons; second, he would abandon the practices of Andrei III and return to the Bourbon traditions, no longer forming small circles, and let the General Palace decide the decisions of the whole Bourbon; finally, he would abolish the tax hike.

But Boris also said that the tax hike was to support the war, and if the Bourbons wanted to abolish the tax hike, then they could only let the General Palace negotiate peace, and be prepared to usher in an undignified peace talk.

The response of the majority of civilians in Bourbon was, "Even if the conditions are no longer decent, as long as there is no compensation, we have agreed, and we don't want to fight any more." ”

Thus, after gaining the support of the Bourbons, Boris was successfully crowned as the 116th Bourbon Governor, Boris V, and while negotiating peace with the enemy, he began to purge the remnants of Andrei III's forces.

Then, in 1443, with the signing of the two peace treaties, Bourbon finally ushered in peace, and after more than forty years of uninterrupted fighting, there was finally peace.

One is the Peace Treaty of Boris V, in which we recognize that the lands that have been lost in the religious area of Maisica for more than 20 years officially belong to Maisica, and thus we have ushered in peace with Maisica.

The other was the Agreement on the Settlement of the Question of the Diaspora League, in which we had a ten-year truce with the Diaspora League, in which the Diaspora not only gained its own rights but also the right to rule all the lands of the Tenglong Colonial Guard, and was free to determine the size of the military at its own discretion, in exchange for the fact that the Diaspora was responsible for its own defense and had to pay a symbolic tax to Bourbon.

Peace is there, and peace is finally at this point.

Amid the cries for peace, Boris V reached the height of his popularity by announcing the direct abolition of the four tax increases of Lul VIII (the fifth had already been repealed by Andrei III).

The move to obtain external recognition was also smooth, and both Maischka and the Union of Diasporas recognized Boris V's status after the signing of the peace treaty or agreement, while Boris, who was busy interfering in the war of Ingena unification, did not want to challenge the end at this time, and like Andrei III, recognized Boris V's status and made no other demands.

Boris V's usurpation of the throne was smooth sailing, and those of us who followed Boris in the coup d'état also made a lot of money, and my grandson even entered the Boris Academy as a cadet acolyte, something I could not have imagined before. After two coup d'état speculations, I actually went from a burgher to an aristocrat!

You know, at the time of Boris V's coup, it was I who first supported Boris V and raided Andrei III's rear, and without me, it is still unknown what direction the coup would have got.

In the first few months I was very happy, because I had become an aristocrat, and a different mentality grew in my heart, and I began to become stranger, stranger and stranger.

After a few months, I thought that my reward was far inferior to my contribution, and even if I became a nobleman, the old nobles looked at me no different from those commoners, just a lump of garbage!

No matter how hard I tried, I had an inexplicable estrangement with those nobles, I didn't understand their banquets, I couldn't interject in their conversations, and I was always the one who was ridiculed.

Dissatisfaction breeds in my heart, at this time, I am no longer the sailor who was speechless after being forcibly conscripted more than ten years ago, I have witnessed the death of the consul twice, my mind is becoming more and more bold, and I look at the Great Palace, with more and more strangeness.

Moreover, Boris V's decline was revealed faster than Andrei III's, so bad that I began to think about leaving the sinking ship.

At first, we all thought that the reason for Bourbon's lack of revenue was because the five tax hikes were used for the war, so after the war was stopped, all Bourbon's predicament could be lifted immediately, so by that time, it would be okay if all the tax hikes were canceled.

We are confident in doing so, and we know from the archives that more than forty years ago, Bourbon had the best financial surplus in the world (although this refers to the whole world as the Bourbons know it, but in fact it is the real world)!

So in the beginning, Boris V and we simply thought that Bourbon's financial predicament would be solved by ending the war.

However, the truth shatters our unforgiving illusions.

The first thing to do after the end of the war was that a large number of conscripted troops were to be disbanded, and in order to prevent them from making trouble, even a symbolic disbandment fee had to be paid.

Then, when this large group of ex-soldiers returned to their hometowns, most of them could not find jobs, and their families had long since been torn apart. Relatives are gone, jobs are gone, income is gone, prices are still skyrocketing, and veterans who have just fought for Bourbon for more than ten years can only roll up to become homeless people.

So three months after the signing of the peace treaty, the security situation in Bourbon began to deteriorate in an all-round way, and there were trouble-making ex-soldiers everywhere, and these ex-soldiers had seen blood on the front line, which was not something that ordinary security forces could deal with.

The ex-soldiers who still stay in the city to make trouble are quite honest, they just rob the merchants, set up various dynamic social groups, and the most terrible thing is the army that simply wanders into the countryside, and they directly become bandits.

It is said that five out of ten former soldiers who became bandits were missing arms and legs.

As a former sailor who had also been forcibly drafted into the military, I could imagine the feelings of those former soldiers when they fell into the grass.

In the past, they were just law-abiding commoners, and although life gradually became difficult under the successive tax increases of King Luhr VIII, they were still surviving.

However, one day, Luhr VIII issued a compulsory conscription order, and forcibly conscripted them to the front line, except for a small number of military-gifted personnel, most of the ordinary temporary conscripts needed to receive temporary conscription salaries and work as death squads.

They fought for Bourbon for ten, twenty, or even thirty years (I've really heard of this example) on various battlefields, the Southern Passage, the Northern Passage, the Myramie Peninsula, and the Tenglong Colonial Guard, and returned home with a meager severance pay.

When they brace their bodies to the familiar street, they see an unfamiliar scene. Their own homes have been occupied by homeless people, their relatives have long been unable to know where to run because of harsh taxes, and they don't even know whether they are dead or alive, and they can't find jobs, and now there are a lot of bankrupt young men in Bourbon who are willing to be hired at extremely cheap wages, who can look up to a veteran who has been fighting for ten years?

In this case, what would you do if you were this veteran? So I don't wonder the choice of those veterans, and I don't wonder why the vigilantes complain about why there have been so many rogue killings lately.

The social unrest caused by the veterans was only the first problem that Boris V faced, and then the second problem arose.

During the more than 40 years of war, the General Palace procured supplies from various chambers of commerce, so the chambers hired many workers for production, but with the abrupt end of the war, the chambers no longer needed to produce so many materials, so they fired workers one after another to save costs, and these unemployed workers caused the second chaos in Bourbon.

As society moved towards chaos, the Bourbon people generally became impoverished, most chambers of commerce and private shops went bankrupt, and the number of bankruptcies increased further, and the Bourbon went one step further into hell.

In those months, Boris V vomited blood urgently, and the meetings of the General Palace were held non-stop, but unfortunately there were no bright solutions. Boris V did not expect that after the armistice, the situation would suddenly deteriorate sharply and become so unbearable.

At first, Boris V tried to seek foreign trade resources to generate income, knowing that Bourbon used to have such a high income, trade income contributed a large part.

But when we look at it again, we are shocked to find that the trade system created by our Bourbon ancestors for 600 years has now completely collapsed.

The markets of Ingana, Maisica, and Ulch have all been monopolized by Boris, and the relations between Poli, Pocom, and Edonan in the north are so bad that Boris V can't do anything like a hot face and a cold ass.

Therefore, there is no other way, Boris V cannot solve it, there is only a dead end, and sooner or later he will follow in the footsteps of Lul VIII and Andrei III.

And I, who firmly believe in this, also need to find a way out for myself as soon as possible.
