Time has been moving forward year by year, time will not stop her relentless footsteps because of anyone's prayers, and my hair has gradually turned gray over the years.

I was heartbroken for Bourbon, but no one forgave my sacrifice, no one noticed my moaning of pain in the middle of the night because of my aging body, they only remembered the loss of the land, the increasing taxes, and blamed me for all this misfortune. Over time, my reputation got worse and worse in the old waterway, and I was always on the street a few times.

The long-term anxiety made me suffer from anorexia, and my intestines were severely damaged, and tears often stayed unconsciously. I went to the altar and asked the priest, who also helped me with healing, but it didn't work.

The doctor said that I had a heart disease, and that only by maintaining a good mood and a reasonable life and rest could I cure it, and that the gods could not help those who had given up on themselves.

I also understand this truth, but the situation in the country is so bad, how can I, sitting in the position of governor, maintain a good mood and a reasonable life and rest? You know, in my deep sleep in the middle of the night, I was frequently woken up by one bad news after another, and then put on my clothes and went to the General Assembly Palace to hold an emergency meeting.

Because there are so many urgent matters, since I became the consul, in the years that I have been the consul, I have not been out of Boris (the capital of Bourbon) once, and my life has always been monotonous at home, in the Palais des Conglais and two o'clock in the palace.

The painful thing is not that you are constantly woken up in your sleep to deal with urgent matters, but that after you are frequently woken up in your sleep to deal with urgent matters, you find that the situation has not changed.

The first time I smiled in the past 16 years was in 1422, when I heard that the radical forces in Ingona could not tolerate the brazen rebellion of the weak Inandi, and the radical forces that had funded such radicals for decades were finally rewarded.

Unfortunately, in order for the radical forces to win, we Bourbon will have to continue to fund it. But on the other hand, since Ingona has fallen into a civil war, there is no need to worry about them taking the opportunity to invade our colonies in the Tenglong Continent in the south.

Xiuge, the originally unknown Prince Maisica, has become a frequently mentioned name in the General Palace in the past few years, and to my senses, this Maisica barbarian is a shameless and extremely cunning being.

He is said to be shameless because he invaded the indoctrination zone in the name of suppressing the al-Merami rebellion, and because he is cunning and difficult because he seems to be a master of psychology who can accurately grasp the bottom line of the members of the General Assembly Palace at any time.

From time to time, he attacked other main cities in the religious district, irritating the General Palace, and when we couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go out to punish him, he would always send an escrow fee before that, claiming that the main city was still Bourbon territory, but she was only temporarily in charge, and she would send an escrow fee every year.

Moreover, he at least did what he had promised, to put an end to the Meirami rebellion led by Severif and Guqidu, and under the command of Xiuge, the Meirami rebels were on the verge of being defeated, and according to the report sent by Xiuge, the Meirami rebellion was put down in the near future.

The outrageous thing we get most out of is when he attacks West Isaacs. The importance of West Isaacs needs not be repeated, and whoever controls both Comporis and West Isaacs will be able to block the entire Southern Sea Route to the Old Passage—unless he intends to spare three-quarters of the way from Bourbon to the Old Passage, as the whimsical councillor did.

I remember that night, when the palace was full of scolding and preparing to punish Maisica, Xiuge sent a new agreement again.

First, he promised that this would be the last main city in the administration of Messica, and that Maischka would not continue to expand the number of main cities under his administration, and secondly, he was willing to let Bourbon keep the port of West Isaacs and pay Bourbon an annual custodian fee like the other main cities. Finally, Xiuge was also willing to take on the task of coastal defense of West Isaacs.

Shoge claimed that "any army that invades the port of West Isaacs will be the target of Maisica's extermination, and Maishika is willing to swear to the god of the sea to ensure the authenticity of the news." ”

"If that's the case, we don't need to worry about West Isaacs being attacked by the Southern Passage rebels, and that's a good idea. ”

After hearing the promise of the revision, the condemnation in the General Assembly Palace suddenly became much quieter, and many more parliamentarians opened up for the revision. As soon as the momentum weakens, the punishment will naturally be impossible.

"Then, let's let Maisica take care of it for the time being, and when the bourbon form stabilizes, it's not too late to take back the main cities that are under care. ”

However, my old friend and current political opponent "Eloquent" An Lu objected again this time, and it was still a very devastating rebuttal.

"But in this case, there are only two main cities in the correctional area that have not yet been managed, Dieter and Pisa, so that although we can still control the North Myramie Bay, what about the trade with Ulch? What about the Bourbon concessions scattered in the South Myramie Bay?"

Hearing An Lu's question, my scalp instantly tingled, but I couldn't think of a solution, as long as I was temporarily confused: "The state affairs are difficult, let the people of the concession sacrifice for the country, and the princes must endure each other for the country." ”

I confess that at that moment, I was thinking not about the solution to the problem, but about the fact that maybe the Bourbon expatriates in the concession themselves had died and fled, and the problem would have been solved.

Dear expatriates, I also know that you have made a lot of contributions to the country, and you have received taxes from you in the years since the issuance of the "Lul VIII Tax Increase Decree", but the country is in such a difficult situation, you should not trouble the country anymore, can you?

Although the country is so difficult, there are a group of people under him, not only do they not worry about the country, but they also seize the time and use every opportunity to stumble on me.

The Diao Min I'm talking about is the leader of the Bourbon Expatriates, Koutumat, who, at the beginning of 1425, gave me a great gift, without informing the General Palace, and without any expulsion from the Tenglong Colonial Guard, he brazenly sent troops to the Tenglong Colonial Guard!

The reason for Kutumat's dispatch of troops was that he claimed that Lesono, the leader of the rebel navy in the Southern Passage in recent years, was a nobleman from the Tenglong Colonial Guard, so some nobles of the Tenglong Colonial Guard had colluded with the rebels of the Southern Passage.

Damn! Bastard! If you are only going to investigate the Tenglong Colonial Guard, why did you drive out all the inspectors sent by the General Palace to the Bourbon Expatriates!

"Punish this despicable man who has committed rebellion!"

In the General Assembly Palace, in another emergency meeting, the members of parliament inevitably and naturally quarreled again, and among the parliamentarians who maintained their opposition to the dispatch of troops, the most conspicuous presence was still Anlu.

"The envoys of the Diaspora Alliance said that their taxes would still be paid on time, but if we went on the expedition, the taxes of the Diaspora Union would also be lost. ”

"At that time, the taxes of the North will be lost, and the taxes of the South will be lost, and what will be left of Bourbon? Only the old waterway will be left! The taxes of the old waterway will be able to bear two wars at the same time, no, if you go on the expedition, will it be three wars! Bourbon has not raised taxes for many years, and His Excellency the Governor has already issued two tax increase orders since he came to power, so in order to maintain three wars at the same time, will he have to issue a third tax increase order!"

"It's not that you don't know what the war is like today. In the southern battlefield, in order to maintain sea supremacy, we must always invest in the fleet, but the landing force has been annihilated repeatedly, and it has been six years, and there has been no progress at all!

"What about the Northern Battlefield? Because the Southern Passage is at war, there are very few troops that can fall to the Northern Battlefield, but even so, our glorious general still strives to gather resources, make the most of his advantages, and coordinate and deter the colonial guards and Edonan at both ends of the snake and rat, and barely let the army gain the upper hand. However, because of the lack of a sufficient number of troops, the northern battlefield was never able to achieve a decisive victory. ”

"The General Assembly Palace can be clamoring to punish Maisica all day long - although these councillors are very sad to be bribed in the end, don't interrupt! This is not the point! The reason why the General Assembly Palace can punish Maisica is because the fleet group fighting with the southern passage is in the South Myramie Bay, and the fleet there can easily be mobilized to transport troops to Bourbon and land Maisica from the south, and if something happens to the southern passage, the fleet can quickly return to defense, which is the reason why I think Maisica can be punished. ”

"But Poseidon, it's not Maishika but the Bourbon Diaspora that you're going to punish now! Where is the Bourbon Expatriate Union, cadets? In the North! If we want to transport troops, we're going to have to pull the fleet out of the battlefield, and then you think something will happen! Do you think Lesono, that Polika will be as stupid as you are, just watch the pressure go down and do nothing!"

His Excellency An Lu's spurt was justified and convincing, and although there were many vulgar words in it, the words were not coarse, and no one could refute his doubts.

Looking at the tranquil General Palace, I spat out with sadness what I didn't want to say, but now I had to say, Bourbon, I really couldn't hold it anymore: "Let's make peace with the rebels of the Southern Passage." ”

Everyone was stunned, they looked at me dumbfounded, and I bowed my head in shame, ready for the coming storm.

But fortunately, this is not the first time that Bourbon has been soft, my ex was soft on Bokang that time, and the scolding was enough to choke, and it was something I personally experienced, which is a terrible past. And already having the experience of Bokang, I think the curse I accept this time will probably be a little smaller, right?

After all, everything is born and cooked twice.

A few weeks later, after a stormy scolding, the General Assembly Palace finally sent an envoy to the Southern Passage to ask for peace talks.

After a few more weeks, negotiations with the rebels of the Southern Passage finally settled, and the nine-year Southern Passage War of Independence came to an end.

According to the peace treaty, Bourbon recognized the independence of the Southern Sea Route, and did not hold the nobles of the Southern Sea Route responsible, the two sides exchanged prisoners with each other, signed a 40-year peace treaty and a series of small things.

The Southern Passage was established independently, and the name of the country was called "Bourbon's Southern Passage," which is nothing, but from the abbreviation of the name of the country sent from the heavenly realm, I felt a deep insult, and the abbreviation of the name of the Southern Passage was actually called "Boris"? O god of the sea, are you abandoning Bourbon? Why do you give the name of Boris, the capital of Bourbon, to the Southern Passage?
