Chapter 291: Hereditary Replacement
In short, it is to define the matter as an "internal dispute" rather than a "separatist struggle", and resolutely maintain the unity of the "Freedom Front".
But the reality is that the "Freedom Front" is still as loose as ever, but the "Bloody Dawn" is hidden in it, growing stronger day by day, like an alien monster parasitic in the host's body, God knows when it will break out.
This is the current situation in the East China Sea, which seems to be dominated by the "Freedom Front", but in fact it is an undercurrent, with the "Scarlet Dawn" monster that may explode at any time inside, and the fierce Fish-Man Clan on the outside, which can be described as an internal and external trouble, a very chaotic situation.
As for Nanling, in the era of the first European Emperor, it was definitely the weirdest place in the world, known as 100,000 mountains, but in fact there must be more than 100,000, I'm afraid there are millions and tens of millions.
There are mountains and primeval jungles, and there are terrifying poisonous miasma everywhere, as well as countless kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants, as well as an equally large number of fierce beasts, not only mutant beasts, but also all kinds of other strange existences.
The human race that has lived there for generations is not normal humans from other parts of Middle-earth, and they are called by a variety of names.
There are those called "mountain people", some called "Nanban", and some called "savages", anyway, there are thousands of strange things, and they do not have a unified name within themselves, and even the words and languages are varied.
Often it is a mountain, there is a strange dialect, and the customs of each mountain are also very different.
Those powerful villages occupy a lot of mountains, such as dozens or hundreds of large ethnic groups, which are considered relatively large forces in their place.
However, some only occupy a few hills, or even a small village on the top of a mountain, and the mountains they occupy are not necessarily very large mountains, but the combat effectiveness of the people is likely to be very terrifying.
This is related to the special bloodline inheritance of the 100,000 Great Mountains, it is said that it involves strange things such as "ancestors" or "ancestral witches", and other places have extremely limited understanding of them, so Chen Mu can't ask much information, and can only say that he knows a little bit of skin.
And the "True God Cult", one of the three major evil axes, rose in Nanling, and now people in other places generally know that there is a "holy area" there, and there is also a "terrestrial kingdom", anyway, it is the base camp of the True God Cult, and the sphere of influence in Nanling is said to be not small.
But back then, in the era when the first Emperor Ou existed, the three axes of evil were either still air, or they were still playing in the mud in the gutter, which did not exist in the eyes of the first Emperor Ou.
Even so, the "Nanling" back then was definitely the most unpopular place among the four outer regions, that is, exile, no one wanted to go, they would rather go to the East China Sea to mingle, or simply commit suicide, rather than go to Nanling to suffer.
There's no way, it's always been a primeval mountain forest isolated from the world, and all kinds of barbarian tribes don't treat other humans as human beings at all, eating people or something is simply commonplace, and they often have to engage in bloody sacrifices, human body raising Gu and other terrifying things, it's scary to think about it.
Although the fish-people in the East China Sea are equally ferocious, eating people is also commonplace, and if you are in a good mood, you can make a boiled live fish, cough cough, live people or something, but it is cannibalism, and it is just a simple food demand, and you will eat it if you eat it.
And the barbarians on the side of Nanling, there are so many tricks, what poisonous scorpions, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects and the like can be combined with the human body, and things like using living people to cultivate Gu worms and the like are simply terrifying.
So back then, the first Emperor Ou didn't deliberately target Nanling, the barbarians were not easy to mess with, so they simply let them rot in the deep mountains and old forests, anyway, they couldn't run too far, just don't come to attack Middle-earth.
Under this guiding ideology, Nanling became a special existence that was nominally under the rule of Emperor Ou, but in fact it was simply a special existence in the land of the Outer Transformation, and it became a gathering place for all kinds of strange people, and in the end, it became a cheap "True God Cult".
But Nanling can be ignored, but the southern border of Middle-earth, which borders Nanling, cannot be ignored.
Although this place is not a cluster of mountains and 100,000 mountains, it is also an authentic hilly landform, the terrain is very complex, it is definitely a little richer than the desert, and it is a little more stable than the East China Sea, and it cannot be compared with the grassland.
In the end, the first Emperor Ou gave this place to his younger brother, that is, the Xia family, who is now hereditary and repetitive.
It's also funny to say, since he is the younger brother of the first Emperor Ou, then Emperor Mao Ou is surnamed Li, but the Nanling royal family is surnamed Xia?
The reason is very funny, and it is very simple, that is, the mother of the first Emperor Ou is an extremely powerful and special existence, and the father of the first Emperor Ou is actually a strict wife and has no status in the family.
Considering the inheritance of the bloodline, especially the wife's side is also a single transmission of nine generations, but her generation is about to be cut off, so the super good (party) old (ear) husband (Duo), the main body proposed that the second son has the surname of his wife, that is, the surname Xia.
This is the funny situation that the original European Emperor's surname is Li, but his younger brother Nanling Wang is surnamed Xia.
To say that the first Emperor Ou was wise in his life, and he also rewarded and punished everyone under his command, and never engaged in black-box operations.
But this is not absolute, if you want to say exceptions, there is really one, and it is the only one that is above board, anyway, the historical record is written like this.
The only exception to this is the canonization of his younger brother King Nanling, which is an absolute special care.
There's no way, they all say that the dragon brother and the tiger brother, but when it comes to the first European emperor, it is really the dragon brother and the mouse brother.
The first generation of European emperors was eloquent and strategic, the absolute overlord of the troubled times, who built a huge world from scratch and achieved the third unified dynasty in human history.
But his only brother is really a waste of firewood, of course, objectively evaluated, his brother is actually an ordinary person, and he has no bad deeds, that is, he is ordinary, and he must not be very good, but he is definitely not mentally retarded, and he does not have the power of a fox and a fake tiger.
But in contrast to the super light of the first Emperor Ou, it seems that his younger brother is too wasteful, and he has definitely been living in the shadow of the first Emperor Ou.
And the mother of the first generation of Emperor Ou has always loved this little son the most.
My mother is not an ordinary mother, in the process of the first European emperor fighting the world, this one also made a great effort, and the credit is not much smaller than that of the first backer.
So after the establishment of the dynasty, when the meritorious deeds were rewarded and the princes were canonized, the mother made a statement, and she wanted to canonize her youngest son as the king of Nanling, and the fief was the southern border of Middle Earth, and it was hereditary!
