Chapter 24: Transformation
At 11 a.m. on May 15, 1675, the capital of the Pole Kingdom, the four princes of the Yale Empire, Duris Heath, in the presence of the Paladin William Mano, the representative of the Central Church, placed the crown of the king of the Pole Kingdom on his head
From then on, the Pole Kingdom ended the rule of the Madan Dynasty and officially entered the Heath Dynasty, and Duris Heath became the first king of the Heath Dynasty of the Pole Kingdom, Duris I
This news quickly spread in the three continents of Olopa, causing an uproar, and it was originally believed that after the Kingdom of Pole was captured and occupied by the combined forces of the Fayele Empire and the Kingdom of St. Auluffy, its territory would be captured by the French, The division of the two kingdoms of the Holy Light Cult will become the eleventh powers, but the development of events is surprising: the twelve powers are still the twelve, but one of the great powers has changed dynasties, and the new king of Pole has refused to declare submission to any country, including his homeland, the Yale Empire, in a sense, the kingdom of Pole has maintained its independence and sovereignty
When the invader turned into a leader overnight, the nations reacted and some people said that Duris was a robber, who not only robbed a country of its land and people, but also robbed it of its royal power; But there are also people who think that Duris's move is very clever, not only to get rid of his brother's control, but also to obtain more capital that can fight against his brother, but more people are amazed by Duris's secret work in advance, until Duris's coronation, no one will know that there is such a thing, because this time, in order to conquer the Kingdom of Pole, Duriss brought nearly two-fifths of the army of Fayelu, and it is difficult to do it without revealing a little rumor, but Durise did it, which shows how powerful his command art and command charm among his subordinates are
Of course, there are also people who are so angry that they are furious, such as his elder brother, the eldest prince who holds the real power of the Fayele Empire, Lockz Heath, for this younger brother Lockz, who is stronger than himself in all aspects, thinks about how to weaken his strength through war, but how does the short-sighted eldest prince think that his bold brother is out of his control, and also gets the capital that can compete with him head-on, because now Duris has not only become the ruler of the Pole Kingdom, he still has a decisive influence in the Fayele Empire, and it is not easy to overthrow himself from his current position, and the more Lockz thinks about it, the more afraid he is that he decides to strike first as a strong groupAll the forces in his hands once again attacked the kingdom of Pole, a country that has now been transformed into a royal family named after him, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Duris's unstable foothold to eliminate this younger brother from the Lord, but the news of the border emergency from the northeast made Lockz dispel this idea, in order to avenge the repeated defeat of Duris, the Vimumen Kingdom and the Banzaimon Kingdom on the Kametnivia Peninsula took the opportunity of Duris's transfer of all the elite troops on the border pass to form a coalition to attack the northeast border of the Fayele Empire, and Lockz could only hurriedly transfer the army he had just formed to crusade against his younger brother to the northeast border to fight
Of course, this qiē is also in Duris's calculations
The citizens of Shengdou were also affected by this transformation, but the impact on them was not necessarily bad, when most of the citizens of Hansha woke up, they found that the expected new regime had not massacred the nobles and officials of the previous government, on the contrary, they felt that life was no different from usual, the city magistrates were still the same as the original sheriffs, and in the court, except for some diehards, Duris almost remained in his new government, and most of the officials and nobles of the original government remained
In addition, several livelihood policies announced by Duris I caused a stir among the common people, including:
First, the national tax reduction and exemption for three years, originally under the rule of the Matan Dynasty, it would only be reduced on some important and happy days of the royal family, such as the coronation of a new king, the birth of a new prince or princess, or the wedding of the royal family, and it would not exceed one year at most
second In addition to ordering the continuation of the construction of the southern dam, which had been built under the supervision of the Grand Prince Medner during the former Matan Dynasty, Duris I also announced the construction of several water conservancy projects in other parts of the kingdom at the same time, some of which had been planned during the original Matan Dynasty but were not started due to lack of funds
Thirdly, the original festivals and cultural customs of the kingdom have been preserved, including the National Victory Day on May 3, which commemorates the important day of the defeat of the Fayele Empire by the Pole Kingdom 100 years ago, which should have been taboo for the Heather dynasty from Fajerus, which greatly increased the prestige of Duris I, and many bards wrote poems to praise his tolerance and generosity
After a short period of turmoil under the reign of Duris, after a short period of turmoil that must have been experienced by the change of dynasties, the national life of the Pole Kingdom gradually returned to the normal track, and under the guard of the elite troops of the former French Yale brought by Duris, the people of the kingdom felt more secure than during the reign of the Madan Dynasty, and Duris also used his influence and network of contacts in the Fayele Empire to enable the merchants of the Pole Kingdom to trade with foreign countries at a lower cost, and the Pole Kingdom became more and more prosperous under the rule of Duris I, and after a few years, it surpassed the most powerful level of the former Madan Dynasty - of course, these are all later words
The city of Kavia, north of the Kingdom of Pole
This was originally the fief of the former aristocratic Mawson's family, this family in an important position in the original Madan Dynasty, after its contemporary head Alex Mawson publicly rebelled, the family quickly plummeted, not only the family declined, the people's attitude towards the Mawson family also came 180 degrees of change, the residents who lived in this city in the past always proudly said that they lived in the territory of the Mawson family when talking to outsiders about their hometown, but now the residents regard their time under the rule of the Mauson family as a disgrace, and no one in Kavia City does not know what Alex Mawsen did in Hansa City, the Mossen family not only did not prosper because of Alex's actions, but became dirty, betrayal, synonymous with conspirators
Blue Kiss - The largest tavern in the city of Kavia is doing business as usual at this time
The boss brought another bottle, and a guest wrapped in a thick linen cloak collapsed on a table, he stretched out his hand and shouted, beside him lay a dozen empty wine bottles, all of which were high-quality ceramics from the real country of the distant continent, and the boss spent a lot of effort collecting only the finest and finest wine in the tavern that was qualified to be in these bottles
When the boss came, he brought the wine to the guest himself, he looked at the guest, and then shook his head, although the mantle of the rain hood blocked the guest's face, but the boss knew that this man was drunk, and since yesterday afternoon he had come to this table and sat down to drink, and he seemed to have great sorrow, and he did not say a word, but drank, and the boss was not worried that he would have no money for him, but that this drunken man would start a drunken fight and scare away the other guests, or that he would smash all the porcelain he had worked so hard to collect
At a table next to them, two guests are discussing national affairs
Have you heard that the several policies announced by the new king of Duris are very good, at least they are very beneficial to our people
Isn't that guy this thief, he killed our king and then snatched the throne, and now it's just buying people's hearts
It doesn't matter if he buys people's hearts or not, whether he is the Martan dynasty or the Heath dynasty, as long as it is good for our people
Wasn't the former king good enough for you, why would you support a foreign regime?
It doesn't matter whose regime it is, all I know is that my three sons couldn't find jobs before, and tomorrow I'm going to send them to the south to build dams
Haven't you heard that several villages in the southwest have been looted by robbers, and all the people have been killed, and if it weren't for the arrival of those hateful invaders, those robbers would have been so arrogant
It's because you're ill-informed, I've heard that the robbers have been eliminated by the Templars, and it's said that the robbers were hired by the bullshit prime minister to carry out a coup d'état
Indeed, if it weren't for Fayeru and St. Auluffy's entry at this time and the success of the Prime Minister's coup, we might have been much worse
Needless to say, fortunately, the coup d'état did not succeed, and if the country fell into the hands of Pan Alonda, it would be better to let a Fayale prince rule, as is the case now
Alas, it's just a pity that our lord played an inglorious role in that coup
Do you still call him 'Lord Lord', if it weren't for him, we Kavia wouldn't be able to hold our heads up in front of the strangers
Forget it, don't say it, Marquis Moson, he is just unwilling to succumb to Duncan's house, and he will make a mistake, and this step can't be completely his fault
Why is it not completely wrong, Alex, he is a thing, for that boring battle of will, willing to be the prime minister's lackey, to carry out a coup d'état, the result is not that he can't beat the Duncan family, the royal knight in the end did not reap any benefits, but was ruined, according to my opinion, the Mawson family is not as good as the Duncan family
Their discussion was heard by the sackcloth-cloaked guest sitting nearby, and without saying a word, he poured the bottle of wine into his throat with all his might, when a man also wrapped in a sackcloth cloak and wearing a rain jacket ran into the tavern, looked around, and then ran to the drunken guest
The man of the master whispered in the guest's ear, I have been back to the manor, all the servants have run away, and the guard has been disbanded without permission
What about my mother--uh, the guest asked, looking at the man with drunken eyes
Old lady, she--the man lowered her head with sadness in her eyes, since you had an accident, the old lady has fallen ill, our family's personal doctor has run away, and there is no doctor in the city who is willing to come to our house for consultation--the old lady died yesterday morning
The guest stopped and took the wine in his mouth, as he seemed to be thinking about something, but after a few seconds he resumed his original drink and gulped it down
The man shook the guest and advised: Master, don't drink it, go back quickly, the old lady's body has not been buried
Rolling away from the guest and pushing the man to the ground, he pointed at the man's nose and shouted loudly, "Why don't you get out of here since the servants and guards are gone?"
I...... The man shook his head aggrievedly, I am your squire, I will serve you for the rest of my life, and I will never leave
Boom Boom Boom ...... The guest overturned the table, and all the high-quality porcelain wine bottles from Zhenguo fell to the ground, and the guest pointed to the man who fell to the ground and shouted: "Get out, I told you to get out."
The behavior of the sackcloth cloak guest startled everyone in the tavern, and all eyes were attracted to his side, and the boss saw this situation, what he was worried about was really going to happen, and the boss immediately ran over to the cloaked guest and persuaded: Sir, if you have any conflicts, can you solve them outside, please don't disturb the other customers in the shop
The guest was furious when he heard this, and he grabbed the boss's chest and shouted: "You say it again."
You, you are...... The boss was frightened, and the reason why he was frightened was not because of the barbaric behavior of the guest, but because of this action, he saw the face of the guest clearly, and the Marquis of Mo, Mosan, ...... Alex, Your Excellency......
The boss's words caused the people in the tavern to explode the nest at once
No, that's right...... I, I'm you, your lord's guest threw the boss to the ground and ripped off his huge linen cloak, revealing the royal knight's armor, blue cloak, and knight's sword
The guest's face, which had been hidden by the cloak and rain hood, was clearly visible to everyone in the tavern, with his once beautiful long blond hair disheveled and sloppy, his originally handsome face looking decadent due to his beard, and his eyes red under the influence of alcohol were drunken - this was a familiar face that no matter how his image changed, it would not be mistaken by the people in the tavern, because this man was their lord - or his former lord: Alex Mawson.
