Chapter 1293: The Haider Empire
After the end of that dark age, when the kingdoms were rising one after another, the leaders had the ability to gather a group of people to build a country. Speaking of which, it's similar to bandits building cottages.
In the next few hundred years, there were countless conquests, annexations, and big waves. Some people are annihilated in the torrent of the times, and they are not even qualified to leave their names; Some people have survived to this day. Of course, there are also people who soar into the sky and become co-masters. At this point, Haider stood out and restructured the empire.
But a closer look at the system of the Haider Empire reveals that it is somewhat different from the Gwana Empire. Although the Gwana Empire was feudal, it tended to evolve towards centralization.
Although Haider is called an empire, it is only because the territory is large enough that it has such a name. In fact, it is more like a federal state, and the power of the feudal lords in various places is quite large, and there is even the phenomenon of imperial inaccessibility.
The reason why the emperor of the Heider Empire is so weak is also related to the way it was generated.
Haidel's emperor was not succeeded by the heirs of the previous emperor. Rather, after the death of the previous emperor, the next emperor was elected from among the nobles who had the qualifications to elect the emperor.
The Elector was the patriarch of the first thirty-seven families at the time of Haider's founding, and the fourteen former royal families who later joined the empire and abdicated the throne. Among these people, there are also marquis with the lowest title, so they are collectively called "Electors".
In Heider's history, there was no window period of years without an emperor. Because after the death of the previous emperor, within a maximum of half a year, the nobles who are qualified to elect the emperor will gather and elect the next emperor.
During this period, of course, all kinds of means of wooing were exhausted, but the sword soldiers could not be used without permission. Those who use force will be excluded from the current term and the patriarch will be forced to abdicate.
However, if no evidence has been found for the assassination, it is not included. It's just that such means are not forced to do so, and few people take this path. Because everyone's eyes are on it, hoping that someone will do it stupidly and then take it back to the competition for power. Therefore, the things of digging pits to frame people and planting blame are also endless.
The choice of the emperor must be supported by all the families, not by the minority obeying the majority. Therefore, how to convince some sworn enemies has become the most important topic for every emperor.
Simply coercing people is usually not a good way, and it is easier to persuade opponents who do not agree with each other to win the win-win situation and use force to force others. But no matter how the emperor ascended to the throne in the end, and the mud can be regarded as a necessary skill for every emperor of Haider. As a non-powerful monarch, it is very important to know how to use strength.
It seems that a country with such a system can be called an emperor, which seems to be a very incredible thing. But it is not so surprising to know that the Haider Empire may be the most technologically important country in the whole world.
While its country was building one or two airships for battlefield support and command, the Heider Empire spent a lot of money on them and formed the only airship legion in the Lost Land.
Dwarven machines and goblin machines are heretics that everyone avoids in their places, and although they are not widely used in the Haider Empire, they can be seen in some key locations. Such as city gates, weapons to defend the city, and bridges across the river that are considered to break through the moats.
The Haider Empire also has a very special system, a country within a state. These states were usually later to join the empire, and their kings were not eligible to be electors. Because of their power or uniqueness, they are often allied with the Empire in the name of a country, rather than a lord of a land.
Such states within states have a certain degree of autonomy, but are subject to the arrangements of the empire in the deployment of troops. Violators are regarded as rebellions, and rebellions will naturally be sent to fight against them.
Of course, there are some thorns that are too strong, and the Haider Empire does not dare to beat them regardless of the cost. But they are unwilling to let it be in the hinterland of the empire without any restrictions and constraints. Therefore, in the name of a suzerain, let it listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, at least everyone can be safe.
This was the case, for example, in the Gwana Empire, in the holy city of Estari, which belonged directly to the Emperor. There is also one of the ancients, the Wood Elf tribe of the World Tree Eugtrasil is also in the territory of the Gwana Empire, nominally under the control of the Empire, but who dares to control them in reality.
Within the Haider Empire, the most famous is the Principality of Crowe, the land of pure magicians. People who don't have the gift of magic are not even qualified to stay in that land and be a slave. And the strength of the principality's magician legion is also famous in the fandom.
Another special country in Haider is the guest of the Silk Country that Lin saw today.
This kingdom was sustained by the fact that it was the only known silk producer, not by force. Silk is a commodity that can even be used as hard currency in some places. With such a phenomenon, there is no need to doubt the degree and value of silk in the obsessive land.
And if these states within a country want the qualifications of an elector, it is simple, that is, to give up autonomy and some technology protected in the name of the state, and accept the canonization of the emperor of the Heider Empire. In this way, according to the size of their territory and the number of people, they can obtain the corresponding rank of title, and the most important qualification of Elector.
However, nominally every elector is equal, but in fact the candidates who will be selected are the original thirty-seven families of the Haider Empire. Those who are qualified after that are assumed to be those who have the right to vote and do not have the right to be elected. Rao is qualified to vote, and it is also a very important power in a large empire.
Of course, the above information is gathered from the forums and what the guests are willing to say. Whether there are other hidden secrets or some unsightly things behind it, it is not for Lin, an outsider, to know.
In the process of small talk, of course, eating and drinking are indispensable. There must be some drinks, some from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, some from the Dukes of Kaveh, and some from the Kingdom of Huelva in the Southwest Peninsula some time ago.
The reason why he is so cost-effective is, of course, to please the mouth of Count Guha. As an Imperial Count and the captain of the Airship Legion, Guha is also quite knowledgeable. Although he didn't plan to do business, as a descendant of the Great Empire of Foodies, how could Lin not be curious about what delicious specialties the Haider Empire had. So these delicious foods and drinks are talking points and stepping stones.
Don't look at the delicacy of the land, the delicacy of the cuisine is not as good as that of the earth, let alone the country of food in my hometown. But I can't stand the fact that there are many rare ingredients in this world!
Have you ever eaten dragon meat? There is also a saying on earth: dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the earth. But who would dare to say that they have really eaten dragon meat. However, there are dragons in the mystery, and there are so many varieties that it makes people dizzy. Flying from the sky, crawling on the ground, and swimming in the water!
There is also a pheasant on the earth. But if this chicken is fierce enough to kill tigers and leopards, what about the quality of such chicken? Not to mention a chicken bigger than an ostrich on earth, with a tail and a snake's head wagging and wagging its head.
The advantage of the Lost Land is that there are many plants and animals that are not found on the earth. Even if these things are not carefully cooked, they are just scalded in hot water, and they are still delicious. Lin just wanted to know that.
In addition to food, Lin of course began to look for another important product, that is, tea!
There are so many people who have traveled through the world, from all dynasties of the earth to the mites, some have brought rice, some have brought sweet potatoes, and the midi has also found coffee, but there is no tea! It's almost someone's obsession.
Relying on oneself to use flashing techniques, headless flies and wandering around in confusion, it will definitely not work. Although I know about tea, I don't know the botanical characteristics of tea trees because I don't have samples to compare. If you don't know the characteristics of plants, you don't know what kind of target you're looking for if you use flashing magic and environmental detection magic.
In such a situation, the only way someone can think of to break the situation is to imitate Shennong to taste a hundred herbs and eat them tree by tree...... In short, Lin never thought of coming by himself, it would take too much time. Since there are people from their places who have a wide range of knowledge, then ask, there is nothing wrong with it.
But it's a pity that whether it's the Earl of Guha or the guests of the Silk Country, their understanding of tea is only limited to the flower tea drunk by the elves. I don't have the tea soup I imagined.
Just when someone was disappointed and didn't know how to answer, Fen walked in.
The former Demon King wore the second set of magic silk costumes that he had completed not long ago, which was a Tang-style skirt dress, with a length to the ground, a blue base, and silver thread embellishments, without too many complicated figures. The shirt is pure white, with blue lines outlining the cloud pattern.
combed a falling horse bun again, and inserted three step hairpins. A pair of Baina cloud shoes under his feet, holding a fan in his hand, strolling and shaking. The hairpins on their heads knocked each other and made a clanging sound.
It's a pity that this former Demon King doesn't have any sense of being a bird. She came out in this outfit, and it was full of light. Both men and women will see their eyes straight. Even a certain person who thinks that he has read countless women is the same.
However, this is not the first time Lin has seen it, and he has not lost his temper like others. The thief's eyes only glanced at it, and then they took it back. Because it is necessary to resist the discomfort from Fin.
Fen's unrestrained costume in the Tang Dynasty is essentially still a magical equipment belonging to the Maze. The previous set of four spirit suits, Fen Ke was designed for defense.
In the state of the full power of the four spirit suits, it can theoretically resist the instantaneous explosion of one million terjoules, and it lasts for up to half an hour. The implication of this number is that none of the known nuclear weapons on Earth can break through Fen's four spirit suit defenses.
This set of Tang Shi women's clothes, known as Qingyun clothes, takes a different route.
Qingyunfu will independently absorb the unprotected power within a certain range around it, and assimilate it into a sort exclusive to Qingyunfu. For example, the eight powers that do not exist in the entity and are protected are all within the scope of absorption. The absorbed power is used as the support for the operation of magic on the Qingyun suit, and then the theoretical "perpetual motion" is achieved.
And this function is mainly designed for gods.
