Chapter 260: The Entry of the Heroic Soul (4) The vast empire of Bourbon
"By the year 1380, Bourbon had become the de facto hegemon on the western shore of the continent, and it was up to two non-bordering countries, Maisica and Ingona, to deal with it. ”
"From the late 9th century onwards, Bourbon was no longer satisfied with making profits through normal trade, but turned to profiteering through unequal trade agreements, economic plunder, and colonization. ”
"For the Ingena cultural sphere, Bourbon took advantage of the weak center of Ingena to enter the border between Ingena and the Bourbon Tenglong colony, and placed one Bourbon diaspora settlement after another. ”
"In the 1350 temple population count, 11% of the population of the entire Ingona was influenced by Bourbon culture. Of these, 7 per cent are Bourbon diaspora, while 4 per cent of the population are descendants of the Merami, Bonn, and Indo-Colombian barbarians brought by Bourbon immigrants. ”
"These immigrants were completely at the behest of Bourbon, and became the dogs of Bourbon's invasion of Ingena, and they were always on Bourbon's side when Bourbon was at war with Ingena. ”
In the year 1001, due to the strong pressure of the Bourbon government, the weak government of Ingona even changed the name of the country of Ingona to the Storm Alliance of the Indo-Bourbon people for the sake of the 11% of Bourbon immigrants, so that the Bourbon diaspora enjoyed the same political power in Ingona as the Ingena nobility. ”
However, after all, the Ingona cultural circle is a country that came into contact with Bourbon late, and the Meirami cultural circle that came into contact with Bourbon earlier, and now the situation is even more unbearable, or whether the Meirami cultural circle can be regarded as an independent cultural circle now needs to be put a question mark, all the great nobles of Maisica can speak Bourbon, and the ancient Maisica religion has been abandoned and replaced by the Bourbon belief in the sea god. ”
In the early days when Bourbon's influence on the comprador of Meirami was not strong, Bourbon mainly provoked the conflict between Meirami and Maisica, and profited by selling supplies on both sides, and after 992, through the signing of the Treaty of Pisa, Meirami had the same fate as Edonan and became a vassal state of Bourbon. ”
"As Mirami became a vassal of Bourbon, the conflict between Bourbon and Maisica began to intensify. In fact, long before Meiramie became a vassal state, Bourbon and Maisica clashed several times over naval issues. ”
"Merami was not very enthusiastic about the development of his navy because of his weak regime and fierce internal conflicts, and as a dynamic nation, Mysica tried several times to build up his own navy as a defense against the Bourbons in the future. ”
The Bourbon, on the other hand, showed a brutal attitude of intervention, the first being in 803, when Bourbon drove the fleet into the port of Maisica without declaring war, and burned the nascent navy of Maisica. ”
The second time was in 1046, when the Bourbon not only burned the Maisica fleet, but also razed the ports that Maisica had spent so much effort to build, and routed the army that Maiskar had sent. ”
After that, Bourbon repeatedly engaged in the so-called punishment wars against Maischica and Ingena, repeatedly interfering in the internal affairs of the two countries, and finally stimulated the two countries to join forces in 1281 to launch a joint expulsion war against Bourbon, and it was not until 1303 that Bourbon put down the war in disgrace and absorbed greater benefits. ”
"Marked by the victory in the expulsion war, Bourbon reached the pinnacle of national power. Although Bourbon still won each victory in the ensuing war, and each time he was able to absorb more wealth, Bourbon seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, blooming his dream of prosperity under the fireworks in the sky. ”
"But as in the time of Luhr, the trend of moving abroad for the glory of Bourbon is gone, and the danger of constant victory is slowly emerging, despite the growing complaints and social divisions on Bourbon, as each battle is guaranteed to be won. ”
"But so far, none of the consuls has discovered the crisis in Bourbon, and they are reveling in the growing power of Bourbon, after all, Bourbon has a growing fleet, more sailors, and more wealth, and they believe that the prosperity of Bourbon will continue forever, like the endless ships of the old fairway. ”
In 1365, following the signing of the Treaty of Commerce of Napoli, which led to another defeat of Maisica, the Bourbon formally took control of the southern Myramie Bay of Maisica, and in 1374 Bourbon finally succeeded in establishing a permanent embassy in Urch, further south, allowing them to trade with Urch, leaving their intermediaries alone. ”
In 1375, the then governor of Bourbon delivered the "Speech on the Founding of Bourbon in 1243", marking the end of the Bourbon fleet's expansion into the south, and the general entry into Ingena once again. ”
"In the previous month of 1380, the captain of the Inconfederation of Bourbons, unable to bear it, issued an ultimatum to Bourbon to either restore the past treatment or usher in another expulsion war. ”
"And just yesterday, the Bourbon Governor has convened a discussion of war against Ingona in Parliament, but as far as the current situation is concerned, there is a high probability of war, and a new war is about to begin, after all, the Bourbon people probably think that this war will be a natural victory as it has been in the past, and then it will be the time for the nobles to share the fruits of victory and the commoners to share the benefits. ”
"However, the bell of Bourbon's decline has been ringing, and their contradictions are about to usher in a general eruption, and as the flag-bearers of Bourbon's decline, it is you, the heroes. ”
Speaking of this, Leng Yi paused: "This is the end of the plot introduction, there is free time to ask questions before the game process, do you have any questions you want to ask?"
"Is it okay not to be a flag-bearer? I can't accept that Bourbon will be allowed to decline because of my blows," the first to ask was the Bourbon Governor Felison IX, and Lull nodded in agreement with Felton IX's question, after all, among so many Heroic Spirits, these two were Bourbon Heroic Spirits.
"Hehehe, it's okay to not be a declining flag bearer, you can choose a camp in this competition, and the Bourbon camp can also choose, but if you choose the Bourbon camp, there is a period of time when reincarnation is prohibited, this setting is to prevent you from using the early advantage of Bourbon to crush other players. Now that the eulogy has been answered, are there any other questions? ”
The second question was from Surifer: "If Your Excellency said that Bourbon will win every battle, why is Bourbon in decline? What is the crisis?"
"A good sociological question with depth. The crisis is basically a problem caused by uneven distribution, and some meat eaters even want to grab the opportunity to drink soup in their hands, which is roughly the case, and more specific things, let's wait until you start the game to see it for yourself. Next question. ”
"May I ask if the gods will interfere? I believe in the god of the stars, and I can't stand it when I go to Bourbon to worship the god of the sea," asked Fokodo, who raised his hand this time.
"This contest is allowed through the divine realm, and the gods will pretend not to know that this kind of contest is happening, of course, if you deliberately provoke the gods and cause the gods to be punished, I can't do anything about it. ”
"As for the question of believing in the gods, there is no way, then you can only do the same as in the preliminaries, temporarily convert first, and then repent later. ”
[Actually, I didn't notify the gods at all, and I just used the will of the gods to influence those gods. 】
Then Leng Yi waited for a while, but no one had any questions, which made Leng Yi embarrassed for a while: "Did no one ask questions?"
"Your Excellency, Lord of the Realms, you know more than I am a Bourbon, what can we do?" said Luel.
"Ahem, let's move on to the next link, the introduction of the competition. ”
"Unlike in the preliminaries, where there was only one reincarnation per person, in this official match, there is no limit to the number of reincarnations, but instead there is a cooldown period. At the end of each cycle, I will add or subtract from the 30-year cooldown based on your performance in the previous cycle, and only after the cooldown is over, you can be reincarnated. Of course, you don't need to be reincarnated immediately, as long as the cooldown is over, you can choose the reincarnation time. ”
At first glance, it seems that the cooldown time of reincarnation of only thirty years is very small, but don't forget, according to the experience of the preliminaries, reincarnation starts from infancy, so even if you are reincarnated, you still need to wait for growth.
"Before entering the competition, every Heroic Spirit needs to choose their own faction, once the faction is determined, it cannot be changed, and each reincarnation will be born in their own faction. And the mission of the Heroic Spirit is to help their camp get the most out of the all-out war and become the strongest nation. ”
"Although there can only be one victor in the competition between the factions, it is possible for the factions to unite with each other until the camp is in a full-scale war. ”
"The so-called camp all-out war is the all-camp melee that will eventually come and sweep the entire Bourbon familiar cultural circle, that is, in addition to the initial Bourbon decline war, when there is a war involving all camps, that is, the camp all-out war, and the end of this war will determine the final victory of the official game. ”
"Different from the preliminaries, this official tournament will introduce the Heroic Spirit Growth System, and as you continue to reincarnate, you can strengthen your abilities through your own reincarnation points and bring more benefits. ”
"The above is the introduction here, after you are reincarnated, I will send you the auxiliary system, more functions you can get help from the auxiliary system, okay, is there anyone who has any problems next?"
Again, the uniform answer: "No." ”
"Very well, let's start choosing a faction, choosing a good and promising faction can affect the difficulty of your future victory. In addition, if you have a question, you will be deducted points if you raise your hand to ask a question and interject at will. ”
