Chapter 351 Provocation from [Dharma God]
"This is a bit long to speak... Brother Yulou, I'm a little tired now."
Looking at Feng Jingyin's naughty look on her face, Yue Yulou had to sigh helplessly in her heart, and then gently patted her thighs...
"Hehe, Brother Yulou is so nice!"
Suddenly, Tong Yan stood up with a smile, then quickly hugged his neck and sat in his arms.
"The story starts more than four months ago..."
It turned out that four months ago, the Naga tribe arrested a serious offender, and a serious offender who offered hundreds of millions of bounties - Ito Po...
It is said that although the Naga tribe still had problems of one kind and another since the reform of Perifus, it still took a very important step in the end, gradually getting rid of the ignorance of primitive society, and the entire empire gradually flourished. However, no matter how good the system is, it will eventually be an inappropriate day. The reform of Perifus's Great Emperor is no exception. After more than three hundred years, the population has increased several times and the field has expanded several times. Some tired scenes have begun to appear.
In the more than three hundred years after the reform, the population of the Naga tribe grew, the territory increased, the productivity increased, and the city scale continued to expand, but the nobles inevitably grew, and it was not too much to say that the surge was increasing. Although the emergence of seamen once maintained the stability of the Naga tribe, as the number of seamen gradually increased, some contradictions eventually emerged...
First of all, the problem of land. Although the vast ocean seems to have no worries about land, it is not the bottomless trench or the basin full of volcanoes. Instead, the sea water is clear, with abundant light and fish resources, shallow seas or the undersea plains that can plant sea wheat (a kind of grain that grows on the seabed) are not too many in the sea. This problem was not prominent at the beginning, but with the development of new farming technology and the surge in population, the aristocracy's enhancement of land and other factors continue to expand, resulting in this problem becoming very prominent in the past century. There are more and more wars between the aristocracy around abundant land, and the ultimate victims of the war are still civilians.
With the unlimited expansion of land by the nobles, land annexation became more and more serious. The Naga Empire, which had never had refugees before, began to appear in large numbers fifty years ago.
The second problem is the unlimited pursuit of land products by the nobles. Due to the deepening of exchanges with the mainland, a large number of luxury goods and industrial products from the land began to flow into the Naga society in large quantities, which is not a bad thing for the Naga society where handicrafts are not developed. However, the Naga nobles' pursuit of luxury goods has become a nightmare for the common people. In particular, although agriculture is OK in the Naga society, handicrafts are not very good. This situation has made trade unilaterally tilted towards humans. After all, it is still difficult to compare with the import of daily necessities by relying solely on the export of luxury goods.
In order to enjoy it, the nobles began to exploit civilians more and more severely. In particular, some human aristocrats exploit civilians were all moved by the Naga nobles, such as the head tax, the light tax, and the iron tax... The heavy tax items forced a large number of Naga civilians to the brink of death, but the Naga nobles still rely on the cuteness of their ancestors to enjoy the most land and the best luxury goods.
The last problem is the situation of the continuous division of the Naga Empire. Since the reform of Perifus did not involve too many items on the interests of the nobles (the reason should be understood), the biggest profiters of the reform were all kinds of nobles, large and small. After the great increase in strength, these uneasy aristocrats began to frequently launch rebellions and wars against surrounding nobles under various excuses. In order to maintain the order of the empire, the Naga royal family had to spend most of their energy on appeasement and extermination of the rebels. This is why the Naga tribe was unable to successfully invade the mainland when they were at their peak.
And as new theories, new ideas and new technologies continue to spread into the Naga society as trade is constantly spreading, and with the increase in urban population, the Naga civilians have begun to no longer be as "meek" as before. The uprising initiated by the people has caused a headache for the Naga royal family. However, in response to this uprising, the Naga royal family cannot come up with a better way. Therefore, with each suppression, the scale of the uprising has not decreased, but is still increasing...
So in this stormy scene, a descendant of a great nobleman of Naga emerged. Yiteng Bo, a descendant of a Duke of Naga, and the heir to the future title. He became one of the [Royed Men] sent by the Naga tribe to study in the Silver Federation when he was very young (the name of the Naga tribe for these overseas students who only wore long robes and did not wear scales). During this period of study, Yiteng Bo witnessed the power and power of the Silver Federation magic industry, the perfect social system and thriving scene of the federal society, and the unusualness of the Great Parliament (can't go deeper...).
Yiteng Bo decided to reform the Naga society with his own strength. Then he washed off the flower scales on his body (in order to show his identity, the Naga nobles often liked to dye the scales on their hands and necks with pigments from the mainland. These scales were called Huacai), took off their scale armor, took off their swords, changed into the silver Federation mage robe, put on the federal scholar wig, and spent their spare time planning the future of Naga with his companions. They even wrote a hundreds of pages of "Reform Outline" to be submitted to the Naga Emperor after returning to China. Unfortunately... a traitor appeared among his companions.
An international student who was a little disagreeing with him on weekdays implicated what Yiteng Bo was doing into the Naga nobles. As a result, you can imagine what reaction this rebellious behavior would trigger in the outdated aristocratic circle. Not only did many nobles condemn him, but even his father wrote a letter asking him to stop this "stupid, damaging the glory of the family." So Yiteng Bo and his partners, who had studied abroad for less than three years, were forced to return to the country, but the Naga Emperor did not punish them, but invited them to the capital of the Naga Empire, the giant barrier reef city located at the junction of the Emerald Ocean and the Wild White Sea - Shini City.
The Emperor Naga did not punish Yi Teng Bo for not being tolerant. In fact, Yi Teng Bo's reform program did not have much threat to the Naga royal family, because Yi Teng Bo knew that Naga society was not as good as the Silver Federation. Whether it was the quality of the people or the degree of social development, it was far from comparable to the Silver Federation, which accounted for one-tenth of the total number of scholars, so his reform was also very realistic. Most of the political system were bypassed, and the highest rights of the country were still attributed to the emperor. The four biggest changes were to abolish the aristocratic power of conscription, return to the central government, and establish upper and lower parliaments (tops were hereditary nobles, and lower levels were merchants, civilians, seamen, scholars, etc.). This not only did not damage the power of the royal family, but also better concentrated the power of the country on the central government.
Moreover, Yiteng Bo's reform also involved the education of the empire, the division of state institutions, the training of new army, the introduction of magic industry, etc. He had plans for all aspects of the entire country. Although it seemed a bit naive, it was beneficial to the Naga royal family. It not only improved the strength of the empire, but also restricted the arrogant nobles. Therefore, Emperor Naga summoned Yiteng Bo for several days and had secret talks with him. Then the news that the Naga Empire was about to begin a large-scale implementation of the new policy began to spread among the Naga nobles, so the nobles finally couldn't sit still...
First, Yiteng Bo's father announced that he had severed relations with his son and expelled him from his family. Then a large number of nobles in the capital began to frequently put pressure on the emperor, demanding that the emperor execute Yiteng Bo. Moreover, the great nobles with tens of thousands of troops in various parts of the empire began to mobilize their troops. Faced with the counterattack of the old forces, the weak Yiteng Bo had no choice but to draw a more beautiful cake for the emperor, so the result was naturally predictable.
The Naga Emperor soon announced that Yiteng Bo and his companions were "uspunishing the party" and planned to detain them all. Fortunately, Yiteng Bo received the help of a nobleman sympathized with him and finally escaped from the capital through makeup. However, his companions were all arrested, and the next day, the trial was not even carried out, and the angry nobleman was hanged in the square of the capital...
After experiencing such a painful lesson, Yiteng Bo finally realized that it was impossible to improve the Naga society by just relying on his mouth, so he changed into his scales and swords and began to recruit like-minded comrades everywhere. It was strange (actually not strange...). The improvements that were obviously not recognized among the upper nobles had great appeal among the lower nobles, seamen and civilians. In just a few months, tens of thousands of small nobles, landless down-and-out seamen and desperate young citizens joined Yiteng Bo's [Reform Army], so he raised the banner with the slogan "Qing the rioters, legislate the politics, and restore the imperial power" and began a life of fighting to improve the Naga Empire.
The senior executives of the Silver Federation who originally valued Yi Teng Bo, the "freedom warrior", became very interested in him after seeing the turmoil of Naga society. Not only did he give a lot of financial support after the incident, but he even sent "volunteers" to assist him in the fight. Fortunately, Yi Teng Bo was not stupid, and he always insisted on the bottom line for the assistance of the Silver Federation.
In just a few years, Yiteng Bo grew from a somewhat naive patriot to an excellent politician and commander. Although the [Reform Army] failed repeatedly, he never gave up...
But just four months ago, Yi Teng Bo, who was regarded as a thorn in his side by the nobles, was betrayed by a player who was arranged by the nobles in a battle, and was captured by the nobles' camp with his own spiritual sense, a ability similar to fixed-point teleportation. So a generation of heroes fell inexplicably in the hands of the players. After the nobles captured Yi Teng Bo, they had differences on how to deal with it. The nobles who stood on the royal side hoped to be convicted after trial, while the great nobles demanded that Yi Teng Bo be executed immediately. In the end, Emperor Naga came forward and decided to detain Yi Teng Bo first in the deep sea prison, and then conduct a non-present trial on him.
So Yiteng Bo was imprisoned in the [Deep Sea Prison], one of the three major prisons of Yashan. The leaderless [Reform Army] fell into a certain degree of chaos because of losing its leader. However, with the efforts of Feichi Yala, the second leader of the [Reform Army], the order was restored and tried to rescue Yiteng Bo from the prison several times, but they all returned without success. The result of the verdict finally came. Yiteng Bo was declared deadly for more than ten charges such as rebellion, killing nobles, and confusing the public. The execution date was set at "the time when the sturgeon was back", that is, a month later, when the [Reform Army] began to feel a little desperate, an unexpected occurrence...
For the Silver Federation, Yiteng Bo is a very important ally. The Federation hopes to save his life several times, but the Naga royal family is also very determined, and the Federation naturally cannot go to war with the Naga Empire for one person. However, Yiteng Bo once had a close friend when he was studying abroad, and this close friend was his teacher of the principle of magic, one of the speakers of the Silver Federation, Master Gabriel.
The friendship between the two was quite deep. When Yiteng Bo was uprising, Gabriel also gave him a lot of assistance. So after he was arrested, Gabriel proposed to send people to rescue him many times in the parliament, but they were all rejected. At this time, Gabriel's player student, a famous person in Yashan, came forward. He was the second place in the Demon God List, [Father God] Slodan Fischerd Donner.
Slodan, who was already at the peak of the player at that time, actually acted as hundreds of MPs and Ambassador Naga in the Grand Parliament, announced in a plain tone that he would rescue Yiteng Bo intact on the day of his execution!
This news detonated the entire Naga Empire at that time, because it was no different to the provocation of the Naga tribe. However, the name of the [Dharma God] was not called for nothing. Naga was also very afraid of this powerful player, especially since he also had a team of [Lord] composed entirely of fourth-level strong men, and the [Reform Army] also announced that he would participate. So just in case (if it happens, it would be really embarrassing), the Naga tribe immediately decided to transfer all the strong men he could mobilize to the deep-sea prison. However, because the deep-sea prison was too remote, there were very few Naga masters, but time was already very urgent...
In desperation, the Naga Royal Family had to issue a summoning order to the famous Naga players, asking them to immediately arrive at the Deep Sea Prison to assist in defense. What was unexpected was that the players' reaction to the provocation of Slodan Fischerd Donner was much greater than that of the official one. Once the summoning order was issued, almost all the famous Naga players gave up their own affairs and rushed to the Deep Sea Prison with all their strength. They all vowed to give the arrogant and arrogant [Dharma God] an unforgettable lesson!
Among them, there is Jasai Gaudeforry, the second-ranked emperor list, and Jared Tamel, the twelfth-ranked emperor, and of course... also includes the two sisters of the Feng family.
