Chapter 5: Menellofe Memorabilia
1,500 years ago, humans founded the city of Menelofe on Mars. This is the first history recorded by mankind. At the same time as it, it is recorded that when people were building Menelofe, they dug up a notebook from the ground, which recorded that humans came from the earth. Since then, humans on Mars have known that Earth is their original home. But it raises questions: Where is the Earth? Why did humans migrate from Earth to Mars? Mene Boufer's notebook was determined to have been buried underground for 500 years, so what happened in this 500-year history that disappeared?
Mene Bufff's notebook unravels the most fundamental problems of humanity, and the cities and countries built on it are named Menelofe in honor of Menelofe and named him the first emperor of Menelofe. Some people regarded Mene Bufu as a lifelong faith, and there was a true religion. The establishment of the true religion has appeared twice in the history of Mars. One was the formation of the original True Religion among the indigenous people after the establishment of the city of Menelofe, and after that, the appearance of a man who claimed to be the reincarnation of Mene Bufer led to the schism of the True Religion. The original True Religion was called Mozhenism, and the later True Religion around reincarnated people was called Suzhenismo. The Mozhen Sect refused to recognize the reincarnation of Bufu, whom they called a liar and a blasphemer. The Su Zhen Sect, on the other hand, fought hard and did its best to maintain the legitimacy of the reincarnation's identity. Both sides insisted that they were the rightful successors of Mene Bufer, and for this reason the Mozhen and Suzhen religions fought a war that lasted for nearly 200 years.
On the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the war between the Mozhen and the Suzhen Sect, the royal family of Menelofe ushered in a royal successor, who was Mene Emperor Bron. By the time he was about ten years old, the empire was already crumbling. At that time, anti-imperial voices had already appeared in Menelofe, and the desire for a republic was growing in the hearts of the people. In Bron's eyes, the figure of his father was always serious, tough, arrogant and strong, until one day he saw that his father was no longer mighty, no longer shouting, no longer arrogant and rude, but a corpse of his father.
Bron's father was assassinated. The murderer has always been a mystery. Rumor has it that he was assassinated by followers of the Mozhen Sect, as Bron's father had publicly supported the teachings of the Suzhen Sect and criticized the Mozhen Sect as an outdated religion. There are also rumors that he was assassinated by the Republicans, but the royal family has vehemently denied this claim, and has repeatedly insisted that there are no problems with the security of the Buff Palace. The last rumor is that he was assassinated by his own ministers, as some of the ministers at the time were republicans who wanted the royal family to serve only as a national symbol, but they were severely rebuked and resisted by Bron's father.
Later, Bronn succeeded to the throne, and although he was the king of a country, he still survived between the Mozhen religion, the Republican Party, and his close ministers. His father's death taught him the rules of standing and surviving in this world. Patience became the motto of his life.
Eventually, the salary paid off when he was twenty years old. Sador declared war on Menelofi, and Bron led 20,000 elite men to repel the invading army and regain the Dessa district, a victory that brought glory to Bron and the royal family, and Menelofi was full of the joy of the Empire's victory.
However, after that, Bulong's personality changed greatly, and he changed his once cautious style of words and deeds, and greatly developed the military industry, developed military technology, and built military factories in various regions of Menelofe, although the ministers were silent on the surface, but they knew in their hearts that their emperor was taking the road of military centralization.
The Mozhen Sect and the Republicans were suppressed due to military centralization, and the road to the republic was extremely difficult and tortuous. Bronn hastened his authoritarian dictatorship, weakened the influence of the Republic, hoped to eliminate the Republican Party, and re-wooed the Mozhen Sect. But while the Menelofe were singing praises to their emperor, the neighboring nation of Tiatis declared war on Menelofe.
Some say it was this war that killed Mene's last emperor. Bronn led his troops to engage the Tiatis army at Ravajigu, and the two days and two nights of torrential rain made the war brutal and stalemate, which disturbed the royal family. The Republican Party, huddled in the dark, co-opted the Morchen Sect to become active in the city, and the voice of the republic appeared in the streets of Menelofe.
At this moment, Sadomu unilaterally tore up the armistice agreement with Menelofe and launched a fierce attack on Menelofe. The move came as a surprise to everyone. The royal family urgently gathered 680,000 soldiers and civilians in the city to defend militarily, which was the famous Battle of Menelofi 70 years ago.
In order to return to the army to rescue Menelofe, Bronn signed an armistice with Tiatis and ceded Ravajigu. Then he led the army to charge Menelofe. Fires, wars, pestilences, panic, Menelofe was withering, 680,000 men were fleeting, and at this most critical moment, Menelofe waited for reinforcements.
Defended by reinforcements led by Bronn, Menelofe was victorious. But the empire had come to an end, and the Mene Revolution broke out, and the Republicans occupied the Buff Palace. Cries of "infidels", "traitors" and "sinners of Ravajigu" rushed forward to arrest Bron, and half an hour later, Bronn and his royal family were executed in Kame Square amid the insults and cheers of the Mojen followers.
After Bron's death, Menelofi entered the republic.
Mene's first ruler was the leader of the Republican Party, Mene Kertof. Both revolution and statehood require a lot of money, and Ketoff relied on his rich family to sit in the position of leader and ruler of the Republican Party. During Ketov's reign, Ancasiru and Sadomu were at war, and Menelofe was not at war. In China, the Great Revolution had just ended, so people were looking forward to a stable life.
Mene's second ruler was Ketov's nephew, Mene Wright. He is recognized as a good debater, and debating is his forte. He persuaded Ancasiru to sign an alliance agreement with Menelofe, a declaration of mutual advance and retreat. During Wright's reign, he cooperated with Ancasiru to send troops to Sadomu, recovering the Dessa district and Abso, and destroying the Suzhen stronghold in Wolan. Domestically, it gained the support of the Mozhen Sect because of its thwart the influence of the Su Zhen Sect in the south.
The third ruler of Mene was Mene Wiki. He had escaped from the prison of Sadomu. Upon his return to Menelofe, he received honors and privileges, rose to the rank of party and government secretary, and two years later, became Mene Wright's adjutant. After Wright's term ended, he was recommended as the new ruler.
