Chapter 198: The Great Northern Treaty and the Northern Fortress
In addition to the ruling against ***, a multilateral agreement known as the "Great Northern Treaty" was also concluded in the following days.
The content of the treaty was directly determined by the Runes Council after taking into account the opinions of the expeditionary force and then after internal discussions, and the horned hoofers, who had lost all room for negotiation, could only nod their heads in front of this paper agreement.
The first item of the treaty forcibly banned the name "Tianci Plateau";
"Heaven-send"? A godsend to whom? This land has been the domain of the Black Forest trolls since ancient times, and the hornhoofs are at best a "tenant".
Therefore, from now on, the area will be named after the location of the Black Forest and renamed the "Great Northern Plateau", and the Hornhoe Tribes are not allowed to use the old name without authorization.
The second clause of the treaty stipulates that the Black Forest has "extensive territory" over the region;
All creatures living in the Great Northern Plateau, regardless of their race or genus, will automatically become a lineage of the Rune Council and the Black Forest People's Government.
The clan has the obligation to become the domain of the suzerain, and it is the responsibility to promote the troll language as a lingua franca....
The suzerain has the responsibility to mediate conflicts between the clans, and has the obligation to provide armed protection for the clans in the face of strong enemies......
Wait a minute
Clause 1 of the treaty stipulates that the titles "Toulon Walkers" and "Toulon Ministries" are all abolished, and that the clans of this side belong to the allied clans, and in the future, the clans will be the core and form new official names.
That is to say, the political structure and self-identity of each ministry will be based on the "clan" and will take a long time to re-establish.
The people in the "Lower River League", "Left River League", and "Right River League" will be called "so-and-so Homo erectus" on the premise of being forcibly assigned to the clans;
For example, the people who belong to the Adlerian clan will become a separate "Adlerite Homo erectus";
The people who belong to the Halima clan will become independent "Halima Homo erectus";
The rest of the clans will also strictly follow this rule to establish their own "species".
In this supplementary rule, the Black Forest Trolls have reserved full "right to leave the alliance" for the clans in line with the concept of "lasting peace" and in order to avoid the recurrence of tragedies like the previous ones;
No matter which clan it is, as long as it suffers unfair treatment in its own "alliance", it will have the right to apply to the ruling government's "clan division" to "leave the alliance";
With the approval of the Rune Council, they can form a new "Alliance" that belongs entirely to their own clan, thus breaking away from the original Alliance and becoming a separate clan of the Black Forest.
~~
After that, there are treaties related to economic and trade agreements.
First of all, the Great Northern Plateau will be fully promoted and used in the future, and the legal tender will be changed from "rice coin" to "Black Forest coin";
Second, the Black Forest will use the food harvest of the Allies for the next 50 years as collateral to issue targeted loans to the Leagues for the purchase of "security services", building materials, tools, food and other "commodities" from the Black Forest.
The issuing unit is the "First Bank of the Black Forest", which is currently under preparation at the headquarters, and the detailed plan will not be mentioned here for the time being.
Thirdly, it is a clause that is a little ahead of its time, stipulating that the Black Forest and the Coalition are completely open to trade, and the Coalition is not qualified to set up other taxes and checkpoints except for those approved by the ruling government;
Then there is the issue of war reparations, and the Rune Council also gave a relatively compromise plan in a recent summons;
In the early stage, the alliances will bear a certain amount of compensation according to their respective share of the population, and then renegotiate their respective compensation amounts every five years as a redistribution period of reparations.
In addition, the original cultivated land in Toulon Province, except for the vicinity of New Toulon City, will also be redistributed according to this model.
The method of distribution will be carried out according to the "tradition" of the Black Forest, based on the gladiatorial system;
The three existing parties, and the many new alliances that may arise thereafter that are naturally indebted, will each send several powerful warriors to engage in one-on-one gladiatorial combat;
press
According to the comparison of the number of victories, under the arbitration of the ruling government's patriarchal division, the proportion of compensation for the next five years and the share of cultivated land shall be determined.
At the end of the negotiations, representatives of several parties signed the treaty, and the just and far-reaching treaty was finally completed.
After that, it's a vigorous construction....
Under the influence of this series of policies, the expeditionary force was unable to return for the time being, and carried out the task of preliminary construction on the spot;
The demolition of the old city, the support of the new tribes, and so on, all need to be undertaken by them until the arrival of a successor.
~~~~
Three months later, three new settlements were built.
During this period, the trolls slept in the open, worked hard, and had strict military discipline and never wanted the people to stitch a stitch;
The "internationalist spirit" it displayed won the favor of the hornhoe people a lot of cheapness.
Facts have proved that the working people are indeed simple, even if a large number of compatriots died at the hands of trolls a few days ago, but with the "justice and stability" of the trolls in the previous ***, and now the support for the construction of new settlements, they soon almost forgot about their hatred......
There were only three clan leaders of the New Alliance, looking at the thick pile of bills, and fell into an endless head of the big head..... However, after all, they don't have to worry about having too much debt, and they quickly get used to it~
The labor of the expeditionary force is naturally not in vain, every building material provided by the witch doctors, and every labor provided by the sergeants, is equivalent to the price of the three alliances and the future of their descendants, and there is a certain element of forced buying and selling.
Nesta, along with the other witch doctors of the Rune Council, knew that the Hornhoof Alliance didn't really have much to look forward to from the Horde, other than the food produced by the castrated seeds provided by the tribe.
However, I have to say that the sourness of forcing others to sign unequal treaties is really an innumerable refreshment that is countless times stronger than ***....
No matter how bad it is, you can still be "pardoned" and "commuted" in the future, and you can still be a "good person" when the time comes, right?
~~~~~
After supporting the construction of the horned hoof, the expeditionary force turned back and began to work on its own mission;
They pushed to the original site of the Toulon Tribe, and built a "frontier fortress" with the camp of the expeditionary force as the center, including the altar of the ancestors.
During this period, the follow-up support of the tribe has also been put in place.
In addition to the first batch of five hundred trolls who took over the rest of the work, dozens of witch medicine disciples and even a few idle witch doctors were also sent here.
With the participation of more witch doctors and apprentices, the progress of the project was accelerated all of a sudden....
The fortress also included the water of the river, and factories that used the water as power were built by witch doctors and apprentices, and soon began to produce various development tools and weapons.
The confiscated hornhoofed fields were kept by the trolls near the original site of the city;
After the removal of obstacles such as ridges, it was transformed into a field that could be "mechanized" and became a food production base for the fortress.
Meat could be obtained from the mountains and forests in the south, from the rivers inside and outside the fortresses, and the tribe also planned to bring in a batch of domesticated animals as seeds for animal husbandry in this area.
The fortress will also establish a "Material Exchange Center" and a "First Bank Northern Branch (under planning)", which will be specially responsible for handling the compensation and supporting the construction of the League.
In addition, preparations will be made for the establishment of branches of the executive government and the law court, as well as the local organization of the People's Yuan.
There are also various function trees, which will be filled in the coming days.
In addition to productive activities, this new settlement, known as the "Northern Fortress", will serve as a buffer and security force between the alliances;
In addition, it will also shoulder the task of monitoring the farther north for the headquarters, and at an appropriate time in the future, assume the responsibility of the "forward base" to support the headquarters' exploration of the further north
Possible conquests.
~~~
The construction of the fortress did not happen overnight, but the expeditionary force, which had completed the early and mid-term works, was already returning to the headquarters with the remains of his compatriots who died in battle;
There, rewards and punishments are given to the living, and glory and sacrifices are given to the dead.
At this point, the war between the Black Forest and the Toulon tribe finally came to an end;
As a result, the troll actually controlled the Ancestral Altar and the Northern Plateau, and obtained the ownership of this land, the sect, provided that it could remain strong;
The Toulon tribe disappeared, the shamans were wiped out, and the horned hoofs were divided into three, and it is very likely that they will continue to split indefinitely in the future..... It also provided a lot of "error samples" for the Black Forest trolls, which became a boost to the development of civilization in another way.
The only pity is that the knowledge preserved by the ancestral altar and the characteristic power of the hornhoe species basically need to be studied slowly by the witch doctors sent by the Black Forest.....
The New Alliance, which had been divided, had since largely lost the opportunity to regain knowledge of the past;
All the power and lineage based on the spirits of the ancestors has vanished with the loss of their altar....
With the speed at which the hornhoofs are changing much faster than the trolls, maybe after only two or three generations of hornhoofs, they will completely forget everything they once had and become a.... Or several complete farming races, farming for generations of Black Forest trolls.
Perhaps, in the future, when the Black Forest thoroughly analyzes the secrets of the ancestral spirits and so on..... This knowledge and power, which originally belonged to the Toulon Ministry, will be given back to the horned hoof clans in this land as a "favor" for the trolls after a makeover....
When the time comes, maybe these chosen guys will have to sigh at the relief of the Black Forest and fight bravely for the suzerain in gratitude~
Of course, due to the nature of the Ancestral Altar, the trolls didn't really plan to study it from scratch;
After the plateau was first settled, the witch doctors, according to the instructions of the council, selected a few teenagers who were outstanding in terms of mental power in terms of spiritual power, according to the method of trolls, and raised them in the ancestral altar;
In the future, the witch doctors stationed here will use them as a tool to leverage knowledge and gradually master all knowledge;
And the fate of these teenagers is nothing more than two situations .... The obedient are kept in captivity forever, or they are unloaded and killed because of delusions.
All in all, the knowledge of the ancestral altar and the mysteries of the ancestral spirits belong not only to the Black Forest trolls now but also in the future;
Even in the distant past, they seemed to belong to the Black Forest trolls...
