Chapter 209: The Hierarchy of Civilization (Page 1/1)
I'd rather be a prince of Emerald than a barbarian king!
No one knew where this phrase came from, but it was the voice of almost all the vassal kings of the Emerald Empire.
But the princes of the Emerald Empire are not so easy to do, the royal families of those barbarian kings are usually huge families one by one, if they are accepted as citizens of the empire, then it will inevitably have a huge impact on the current situation within the empire.
You must know that the citizens of the Emerald Empire have a lot of privileges, and when the Blago Kingdom was defeated, the empire only gave the status of about 1,000 Emerald citizens, and these people were almost the nobles of the entire Blago Province later.
That's because the old nobles were themselves sinners, and the empire gave them almost only the status of head of their family and a very small number of elder citizens, and their children had to be educated as citizens of the empire.
If the kings of these vassal states become citizens of the empire, then the entire royal family may become citizens of the empire, and they must not be allowed to be free citizens of the empire.
In fact, the empire itself does not want to peacefully receive the entry of the Emerald citizens, and the big names of the Imperial Council prefer to defeat the other party through war, and then bring the other party into the empire's rule in a way that is granted.
Through so many years of experience, the Emerald Empire has basically understood that Emerald must constantly absorb the power of other civilizations in order to maintain the prosperity of the empire.
Unlike the Elven Kingdom, although it has the longest history in the entire continent, it is stagnant, constantly consuming the foundation laid for them by their predecessors, that is, their foundation is too thick, and it has really been consumed for so many years without being consumed.
But that kind of national policy is absolutely wrong, and the big shots of the Imperial Council of the Jade Empire, whether it is the current ones or the big shots of the previous generations, are all consistent in this point of view.
Even the big names who admired the culture of the Elven Kingdom the most were usually silent about this, and no one said anything about making the Emerald Empire complacent.
Since the birth of the Emerald City-State, the history of the entire two thousand years has been a process of conquest of other tribes and then continuous integration of other civilizations, especially in the era of the Republic.
Emerald fused eight extremely advanced civilizations, and eight brilliant farming kingdoms were merged, which was definitely comparable to Qin Shi Huang's great cause of sweeping Liuhe, and since then the Emerald Empire has its own civilization.
It is thanks to a powerful civilization system that can assimilate other countries that Emerald is able to achieve the name of the empire, and then show that confident look in front of all the other small nations.
Up to now, the advanced level of the Emerald civilization is actually very far behind the Elven Kingdom, especially in terms of military, the Emerald Empire is the country with the deepest military research in the whole world.
Of course, because the background is still not deep enough, it is still worse than the Elven Kingdom in many special aspects, and it is precisely because of this that the Jade Empire will continue to send students to the Elven Kingdom.
But compared to the Emerald Empire and the five kingdoms of the Blago region, the gap between the two sides simply does not need to be compared.
This is not a level of opponent at all, the five kingdoms of Blago are basically still living in the era of slash-and-burn, and the Emerald Empire has been on the road of feudal centralization for many, many years, and the gap between the productive forces of the two sides is unimaginably large.
Imagine that when the Emerald Empire uses a lot of resources to wage a war of the national war level in the Western Frontier with another Empire, there is still the energy to have Zaga start a war in the province of Blago that is very likely to cause a war in the entire Southern Border.
The subtext of this is actually that even if the entire southern territory is really dragged into the flames of war, the Jade Empire will not care, and with the current national strength of the Jade Empire, it can hold up even if it starts a war on three sides.
Besides, in the eyes of the empire, there is really no threat to the southern border, in the eyes of the empire, even if they are all barbarians, they are also leveled, and the barbarians in the southern territory are obviously the kind of combat power that is relatively weak.
The most powerful barbarians are naturally those barbarians of the Northern Empire, the empire calls them beast barbarians, because they call themselves orcs, it is said that the bloodline contains the blood of the orc gods and their ancestors, as long as the bloodline is pure enough, they can carry out madness and greatly increase their strength.
Although I don't know if this legend is true, the madness is indeed true, and the berserker legion in the Orc Empire is indeed a serious problem for the Empire.
In particular, the emperor's pro-army of the Northern Empire, the Beamon Janissaries, was simply violent to an extreme.
Excellent racial gifts gave them strong physical qualities, and only the strongest Imperial soldiers could compete with them.
The Northern Empire has always been a big problem for the Jade Empire, especially after the rise of the fox race, this outlier among the orc race, and extremely intelligent wise people continue to appear in the race.
According to the historical records of the Emerald Empire, the fox people have been serving as the prime minister of the Northern Empire for nearly a thousand years, and for a full thousand years, the fox people are almost the most powerful race in the entire Northern Empire except for the royal family.
Moreover, they also put forward the so-called Great Orc Doctrine, under which the Bimon swept the major orc races across the grassland desert, and the most important thing was to successfully unify.
Then, the north of the empire also had this big trouble.
There are many reasons why the Brandon family moved out of the Emerald City many years ago, the most important of which is that one of the Five Sages Emperor did not have a good relationship with the Brandon family.
With the help of many families, plus the ability to be Emperor Wuxian, he was still very broad-minded, so the Brandon family volunteered to go to the north to guard the border for the empire, so the emperor also agreed to the request of the head of the Brandon family at that time.
The power of the entire Brandon family began to transfer to the north on a real scale, which was different from the original kind of investment in some of the power, this time the Brandon family cast a city in the northland!
What I didn't expect was that the Brandon family was high in the sky, and the sea was wide and the fish jumped, and the center of the entire family was withdrawn from the Emerald Capital before discovering the benefits for the family.
Since then, the Brandon family has firmly held the northern border of the entire empire in their hands, and has even waged empire-level wars on behalf of the empire and the orc empire in the north several times.
