Chapter 3: The World Pattern
Five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Beiming is already six years old.
Bei Ming has been studying the world since he knew words, first listening to people, after all, no matter what a person like him does, there are ten or eight people waiting for him, and it is easy to chat with people, and then he learned the universal characters of this world almost and began to read books by himself.
The family's library is very large, and it has been slowly accumulated by the family over the past few hundred years, at least hundreds of thousands of books, many of which are unique books. And Beiming also did not refuse to come, asking the maid to pick up a few books every day, and staying in the library for a day.
Through reading and learning, Beiming knows a lot of basic knowledge, and analyzes that this world is similar to the previous world, but the skill tree is crooked, more magic, but there are a lot of less entertainment activities, there are computers in this world, and there is no network. Delivering messages is magical, there is entertainment, there are no movies and games or anything like that. Entertainment is the traditional in-depth communication and other things that are different from the past, Bei Ming thinks that with the experience of his previous life, he can become a huge rich man in this world by doing anything. Of course, this is just a casual thought, and he is more interested in some interesting history of the mainland when it comes to money.
Only one continental plate has been found in the world. The name of the continent is "Nicol Continent", this Nicol is said to be the first person to draw a map of the continent, the authenticity of which is impossible to verify, and no one has questioned it since the officials of various countries began to use this name.
Originally, there were more than a dozen countries, both large and small, and some small countries only existed for a few years and then disappeared, and after two years, individual countries popped up. When Beiming watched it, he also felt that it had the meaning of "five Hu and sixteen countries". More than 500 years ago, a great writer came out, many students were in important positions in the country, and at that time this writer put forward the idea of "the same book and the same text, and the same track of the car". This makes Beiming look very admirable, it is really worthy of a generation of everyone, who has single-handedly changed the cultural inheritance of the entire continent!
Fifty years ago, Minister Chixia was assassinated by radicals from the Alliance of Small Nations in Dosaint County during a visit to a small country, allowing Chisuka to find an excuse to go to war with a foreign country and launch a war of annihilation against several small countries, which led to a chain reaction and plunged the entire continent into war. This war was fought for more than ten years, and it is called "a definitive war" in the history books. When looking at this paragraph, Beiming felt like a casus belli for the First World War, where countries fought for the sake of fighting. Beiming's grandfather also participated in this war and accumulated a lot of political capital, but unfortunately he was also seriously injured in the war and fell ill. When the war ended, I searched for famous doctors, magicians and other treatments, but it still had some effect, and I survived for more than 20 years, lived for more than 80 years and died, and Beixing, who was less than 30 years old at the time, inherited the title.
Fifty years ago, when wars raged and the entire continent was at war, a group of businessmen united with the Equatorial Mercenary Regiment to form the Syracuse Free Federation in order to protect themselves.
Several large countries have been expanding their territories by devouring the territories of smaller neighboring countries through wars. There was only one great power that did not send troops to invade, and that was the Cangwu Empire, whose queen ran around preaching peace and calling for an armistice. When the cake was divided, all the small countries were either destroyed or colonized, and the high-level leaders of these big countries found that there would be no return for any further fighting, and finally the countries agreed to negotiate, and many government-in-exile also participated, but when they sat down to negotiate, they really responded to the sentence that the weak country had no diplomacy, and the government-in-exile and the defeated side had no chance to speak at all, and several large countries directly negotiated a plan: each country gave up a little of its own territory or colonies to invade the territory or colonies, and established a state in the center of the Nicole continent. It's the Syracuse Free Federation of these merchants. They cannot have an army, but they can recruit mercenaries. Civilians who have lost their homes and do not want to be ruled by hostile countries can go to Syracuse, and in this way the entire continent has been divided by these great powers, and all the small countries on the continent except for these six countries can no longer use the word country, and all of them have been changed to provinces, and must accept the leadership of the empire that has been divided for you.
However, what is strange is that according to the agreement of various countries, there should be only 6 countries on the mainland, and next to the Syracuse Free Federation, a country suddenly appeared for some reason. This passage is particularly vague in the history books.
This country is said to be funded and supported by the Syracuse Free Federation, and is known as the backyard of the Syracuse Free Federation. It is characterized by chaos, no law, no army, and money is supreme. It is said that the bosses of several consortiums of the Syracuse Free Federation feel that after so many years of war, the entire continent has been destroyed, and these businessmen have left their hometowns to support each other in order to survive, huddle together to keep warm, since everyone wants to settle here in the surrounding must have a place to enjoy, so these people have integrated the characteristics of the entire continent and turned this place into a paradise, the most famous gold cave! Then he gave a lot of benefits to the other six countries to make them turn a blind eye, and the other countries also said that it didn't matter, anyway, the territory was set aside for you, and you just built a dozen or twenty countries, as long as there is no army and no heavy weapons, they don't bother to care.
In this way, there are a total of seven countries in the world.
On the northeastern side of the continent is the Qianxia country, which is a large mechanical country with the strongest mechanical output. It is located in the north, covered with snow and ice all year round, and has a temperate continental climate. What made Beiming other than Qianxia actually a constitutional monarchy, and the prime minister turned out to be a lifelong system! Beiming was very surprised when he first saw this form of government, but later learned that it was Qianxia who had a powerful minister several decades ago, and how much power did it get? It is similar to Cao Cao, who coerced the princes of the Son of Heaven and later wanted to abolish the emperor himself. I just want to make a constitutional monarchy too much, and the next step is to say that the failure of the constitutional monarchy reform is a decision made by the emperor, a faint monarch, and this idea is too stinky and makes the people miserable, let's go against him, and finally become the emperor himself. This was his plan, and sadly, he was assassinated after only taking the first step in the plan. As soon as he died, the country was in chaos, the emperor wanted to seize power, and the minister wanted to sit in the position of a powerful minister. After two and a half years of tossing and turning, this form of government actually remained! The emperor was completely turned into a mascot.
To the north of the continent is the Yanyu Empire, and the neighboring Qianxia Kingdom is the emperor as the mascot, and the Yanyu Empire is the first mascot. The Yanyu Empire is an ally, it is an aristocratic republic, similar to Rome, major decisions are made by the House of Elders, and the usual diplomacy is the prime minister's appearance, the prime minister's scenery is quite beautiful, there is no real power, and diplomacy is a rumor, and the board has to come to the Elders' House, Yanyu guards a large area of grassland, animal husbandry is relatively developed, and there are countless minerals. The four seasons are distinct, the landform is abundant, grasslands, basins, deserts, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands are all there, and it is a good place for vacation.
To the east of the continent is the Tozaki Empire, and the story of this country is not so exciting. Absolute monarchy, the old emperor has been in power for more than 90 years, and he has seen all the winds and waves, really. The Togasaki Empire is surrounded by the sea on three sides, which means that half of the country's borders are on the sea, and there must be at least two tsunamis in a year. This country is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and it is plagued twice a year! A few decades ago, Tozaki actually developed a set of absolute defense systems, Xuanwu, which can even withstand a tsunami, and it is said that the defense scope of Xuanwu is the entire country. Every year during the tsunami, watching the Xuanwu on the beach in Dongqi to block the tsunami is already the hottest tourism project in Dongqi, and Dongqi is the best at science and technology, otherwise there would not be such a powerful defense system as Xuanwu, which is currently recognized as the most powerful country in science and technology in the world.
To the south of the continent is the Cangwu Empire, known as Sheriff Nicol. It is a federal state, led by Queen Carol. Qili ruled, and the world war 50 years ago was when Queen Cangwu called for a truce in many ways, which led to the current continental pattern. The Cangwu Empire is located in the tropics, most of which are mountains and forests, and legend has it that they are descendants of elves who can communicate with tree monsters. Composed of multiple tribes, the Cangwu Empire is located in the deep forest, and the spy and investigative organizations sent by each country have failed, and even the magician's eagle eye skills cannot be detected. Perhaps, as folk rumors say, the people of the Xuanwu Empire are descendants of elves who can communicate with plants and monsters, and the creatures of the empire are protected by the forest. Although he has never participated in a war, who wants to say that this group of people who have been with Warcraft all the year round have no combat effectiveness is pure foolishness.
To the west of the continent is the ancient bird country where the Northern Ming Dynasty is located, which is a country with an absolute monarchy. The old emperor has been in power for almost 80 years, and he has never fought a major war externally, and he has never loved the people like a son and sympathized with the people's feelings. There is nothing wrong with it except for a lot of joy and a little love of spending money, which has been a big deal for decades. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't stand the days of piecing together, and he had already fired his outspoken advice. However, the old emperor's political level is very high, and no one opposes him in this country like this, and the arrangements of various ministers are clear. As he grew older, his ruling power slowly weakened, not because he was old, but because his prince grew up. There is no system of princes and princes in this world, so many adult princes are fighting for power in the court. The country has four distinct seasons and a pleasant environment. At the beginning, the country was founded on magic, and it was known as the hometown of magic. But as time goes by, the country has gradually forgotten its ability to settle down, and the only thing that has been handed down is the palace magic guard, which only obeys the orders of the emperor, and is a very mysterious guard. Very few ordinary people understand magic. The reason why it is called the hometown of magic may also be that the headquarters of the magic union is also in the ancient bird country, and it is also in the holy capital, this organizational right that can command magicians all over the world is real, and there has long been news that the magic union is at odds with the royal family, and the two sides are fighting openly and secretly, making this country full of variables.
The two empires in the center of the continent are the Syracuse Free Federation and the Bailan Empire, Syracuse is a federal government, an aristocratic republic, and there is no national representative to deal with diplomatic affairs, and there is not even household registration management, no matter where you are, you can settle down, and no one will check your past. Everyone is immersed in business, everything in this country is done with money, it is easy to make money and fast to spend money, you can buy anything here, and at the same time it has the strongest mercenary group "Equator".
There is also the Bailan Empire, a country without a system, which is relatively chaotic, particularly chaotic, and has police, but only serves the rich. People get rich every day, people go bankrupt every day, and maybe the homeless people you see on any street are wanted criminals in other countries, and this is a paradise for criminals. It is not difficult for law enforcement agencies of any country to come here to arrest people, but it is difficult to send law enforcement agencies to arrest people, but the difficult thing is how to take people away. Although Bai Lan did not have their own army, they did have pickets. 纠察队的权利大不大无所谓,可以确定的是很强!这个纠察队不是管罪犯的,也不是维持治安的,就是负责杀别国的执法人员,要是说来这想放松来玩的无所谓,但是要来这抓人,抱歉了纠察队就是为了告诉你,你在这个国家没有执法权,哪来的回哪去。
At the beginning, Beiming also thought that the world is so developed that there should be other continents besides this continent, and now the official news is that the current science and technology are not developed enough, and they cannot conquer the sea, and they can definitely swim in the sea in recent decades.
Later, he saw from ancient documents that there were many warriors who went to sea or flew planes to distant places, but when these people went out, either the waves were raging and thunderous, or a huge underwater creature came out, and no one could see what kind of creature it was. In this way, gradually there were rumors that this world was a cursed world, calling on people to find a way to get rid of this cursed world, and many religions appeared, believing in everything. From the beginning to the end, the attitude of various countries towards religion is as if it has been discussed, and no religion is allowed to appear, and a group of religions will be killed when they come out, and absolutely nothing will be left. So until now, there has been no religion on the surface of the entire continent. The ancient document that Beiming saw was about 1000 years ago, and now it is estimated that it is also a unique book, and it has long been impossible to verify who the author is, and I don't know if it is true or false, and Beiming will also take it as a mythological story.
And Beiming's father is the duke of the ancient bird country, the Duke of the North Star Diaphragm, the Duke of the Star Diaphragm, is a standard old aristocratic family. The official name is "Duke of Beichen", people usually don't call the official name, and the family has its own fiefdom, but the main focus is on the capital and power center of the ancient bird country - the holy capital. Before Beiming was born, he defeated the Yanyu Empire, signed a peace treaty, and relied on this peace treaty to establish himself in the Holy Capital, and is now the fourth person in the military.
In the Holy Capital, these nobles are all born with exquisite faces, long sleeves and good at dancing, after all, having a good relationship with everyone is one of their survival rules. Since childhood, he began to cultivate children's etiquette and communication skills with people, because Beiming especially dislikes these things, he is a person who is ready to enjoy his life as a rich second generation, and he doesn't want to change anything after seeing through the creation of people, so he wants to enjoy this life. I just think about spending money every day, and there is no need to curry favor with others and please others, so etiquette is a waste of time in his opinion, so it is better to let him read a few books. As for communication skills... Beiming thinks that his emotional intelligence is okay, and he thinks that his communication skills are okay. In his previous life, he was a doctor of psychology, so he still needs to learn these things? So every time this old oilman goes to class, his mouth is like smearing honey, coaxing the teacher around, and only letting the teacher teach him what he wants to learn.
Of course, the cultivation of nobles must be more than these, there are also a lot of literature and history, and because the family is a military general, so you must learn some martial arts and the like, to put it bluntly, it is fitness, so that you can look good. One of the things that interested Beiming the most was magic, after all, this thing didn't exist in the world before. But after the magician's test, Beiming did not have the talent to become a magician, which made him very regretful, he didn't have the opportunity to experience the feeling of magic, and at the same time, he didn't have the opportunity to experience the feeling of letting go of his fighting spirit, because Beiming's qualifications were mediocre, and he couldn't cultivate his fighting spirit. It can be said that he is a very wasted person, what can he do.
The children of each family are specially invited to teach at home by well-known teachers, after all, the school is a tool for accumulating contacts in the aristocratic circle. The aristocratic schools in the holy capital can only be enrolled by children over the age of ten, the teachers are all good teachers, and they are all teaching seriously, but the students are all there to make friends and accumulate network resources, maybe ten years later, your classmates will be the feudal officials of this country? And those children who have not yet gone to school also have their own way of making friends, Bei Ming will be taken by his father to some social places such as banquets, and he has also made a few friends.
