Is history fake
Okay, that's exciting, but not a huge surprise.
In fact, many times people's understanding of history is through written records. If the person who writes the words brings more subjective emotions, then the history will be slightly biased.
And the history in everyone's eyes is different. Just like the royal family poisoned the prince, in the eyes of the royalists, the prince defiled the queen. The queen was extraordinarily chaste, and finally poisoned the prince.
But in the eyes of others, this was a murder full of conspiracy. The royal family's purpose was to eliminate all princes and dukes in the empire, so they used the queen to seduce the prince and poison him.
Different emotions, different angles, different positions, the written history will be different.
But the history involved this time is not a longer history, it happened thirty years ago.
In Magus's description, without the Federation's invasion war, the current empire might not be what it is now.
The royal family at that time had begun to decay, and the nobles were content with enjoying themselves. Even if there was no interference from outside forces, once the internal backlog of conflicts completely broke out, it was very likely that the empire would split into many forces.
However, that fateful war broke out anyway. The reason for the outbreak was that the population base of the conquered ethnic groups in the empire was too large.
The Yaoxing Empire conquered the Guart Dynasty and the Shanya Dynasty. Only their soldiers were eliminated in the war. There was no large-scale massacre of ordinary people. This left the population of Ogdin in the Yaoxing Empire to only accounting for about fifty percent of the total population.
This is a very dangerous phenomenon. Once someone steps forward to lead the Guartes and Shanya people to resist the empire, the inevitable civil war will definitely break out.
At the same time, some restoration organizations are actively operating in remote areas. They persuade the Guartes and Provincial people to join the corresponding restoration organizations and engage in military activities under the slogan of restoring the country.
The top officials of the empire have been aware of these problems and troubles. Even if they sent troops many times to encircle and suppress these organizations, the effect was very limited.
Some things, such as thoughts, are like invisible ideological seeds that spread with the wind. Once buried in people's hearts, there is no way to stop them from taking root and sprouting.
Hatred and hostility between ethnic groups, conflicts and differences between classes, and the constant activities of a small group of careerists ultimately affected the situation of the entire empire.
Unbeknownst to people, three governors and some nobles have reached a secret agreement. They intend to separate the four states in the southern part of the empire from the empire's territory and take them as their own, and establish an area more in line with the defeated ethnic groups at the bottom of society. Hope for a new country without oppression and exploitation.
Civil war is about to break out, and the empire's territory will be divided. After high-level secret discussions, the Federation begins to invade.
No one could have imagined that two neighboring powers, which had been in peace for more than a hundred years and usually ended quickly even if some minor frictions occurred, would suddenly start a war.
The Federation took the lead in launching the war without any diplomatic notification, and invaded directly from the south. In order to achieve its goal, the Empire cut off communications and transportation between the South and other regions, and directly let the federal army wipe out those forces that attempted rebellion. net.
But they miscalculated a bit. When the Federation discovered that they could easily defeat the Imperial Army, a huge ambition began to grow in the hearts of the Federation people.
Since the empire is so weak, why don't we continue to fight
Maybe it won't be long before the Federation has the opportunity and possibility to unify the entire continent.
Under the temptation of such huge benefits, the Federation took the lead in violating the agreement with the Empire and continued to launch a war of aggression.
Someone in the empire proposed to use this opportunity to solve the current problems between ethnic groups and classes in the empire, so a special war started.
A large number of Guartes and provincials were sent to the battlefield, and the battlefield became a meat grinder.
Think about it, ordinary people who were busy looking for jobs just to fill their stomachs a week ago were thrown onto the battlefield after just a few days of training. How could they be the opponents of those professional soldiers
Even if there are one or two talented people who understand how the war should be conducted, their number will definitely not affect the outcome of the entire war.
Just as the princes and ministers needed, a large number of conquered ethnic groups were killed and injured in the war, and the total population of the empire was reduced by almost one-third. Of course, the vast majority of them were Guartes and provincials, and only A few Ogdins.
When the royal family and palace ministers thought that the situation was about the same, they mobilized the empire's real Guards Corps and Rose Corps, and set up an ambush near the city of Odis, waiting for the Federal Vanguard Corps, which had fallen into fanaticism and lost their minds, to plunge in.
In the history and truth that people know, the reason why the federal army was ultimately defeated was because the empire's poor transportation prevented their logistics from keeping up with the advancing speed of the vanguard army.
This is actually only one of the factors, not all of them. Going too deep will not directly affect the outcome of the war in a short period of time.
The real reason is that the Imperial Royal Knights bypassed the battle line and threatened the security of the federation's hinterland from the side. At that time, the federation's main force was deployed, thinking of overthrowing the empire with the power of the whole country. The hinterland was empty, and only a few had just been established. new legion.
After multiple considerations, everyone finally came to the negotiating table and ended the war.
Although the war was over, the problem was not resolved. The weakness shown by the imperial military allowed more nobles to see opportunities.
They used the excuse that the royal family could no longer guarantee the interests of the empire and all nobles, and planned to launch a war to subvert the entire royal family.
In this world, the royal family has not played a real ruler for a long time. They are just the most powerful and largest family among the nobility. People have no belief, culture, or inheritance for the royal family. fear.
The ready-to-move northern nobles colluded with the barbarians on the snowy plains and gathered a large number of troops to go south to seize power. If they really triggered this civil war, it is very likely that the Federation, which was still in the process of withdrawing its troops, would brazenly launch a war of aggression again.
In addition, although the conflicts in society have reduced some, other problems have broken out again. The public, with the Ogdin people as the main group, believe that the incompetence of the royal family and nobles has caused the fall of the glory of the empire.
Even the Federation people who have always been looked down upon by them can almost attack the imperial capital. The current royal family and nobles are already rotten. If these people are allowed to control the empire and control everyone's destiny, they will most likely become slaves of the Federation people. .
Some careerists also stood up and wanted to launch an uprising with the slogan of eliminating the incompetent nobles and royal family and letting the people control their own destiny.
So the aristocratic group headed by Magus came up with a very reasonable and effective method to implement the plan with the unanimous consent of several important participants, while Her Royal Highness the Saint tried to delay them as much time as possible, in the north Confront the rebels.
He quickly stood up and overthrew the royal rule, forced the royal family to hand over the scepter representing power, and then established a new rule and absorbed a large number of elites from the civilian class into the new party and formed the new party cabinet.
In his national speech "Be Your Own Master", he denounced the corrupt system of the empire and the oppression of the people by the aristocracy, and announced in the shouts of countless people that from that day on, the aristocracy would be abolished forever.
During that time, the streets were filled with similar slogans and slogans. The slogans "Be your own master" and "Everyone is equal" were like viruses that swept through the entire empire.
Eliminate the aristocratic system, eliminate classes, and make everyone happy. The world described in the story has appeared before people's eyes. More importantly, Magus announced that an electoral system will be used to produce the actual ruler of the empire. .
The right to vote will be given to all citizens of the empire. When they think the ruler is unsuitable, they can change a ruler. This terrible electoral system has shocked even many careerists.
This huge change immediately eliminated most of the problems in society and quelled a bottom-up turmoil. At the same time, because the royal family withdrew from the historical stage of politics, Maggs, a great northern nobleman, became the prime minister of the cabinet, and the election Consider various reasons such as the system.
The rebel nobles in the north felt that they had no chance to sit in that position, and if the war continued now, it would not be a war with the royal family, but a war with another group of big nobles.
The nobles may not be afraid of war with the royal family, but they are unwilling to start a war with other nobles. Everyone knows that once a war breaks out, there may be no victory or defeat for more than ten years.
A war solved many problems. As a representative of the new era, Mags also became the longest-term prime minister and cabinet minister in the empire.
People will always know only a small part of this world. Just like in this empire now, there is not only one person who can really make the decision, but several.
There are even people from the royal family involved. As a solution to the crisis that may involve the overthrow of the royal family and the subjugation of the country, if the royal family is willing to give up power without launching a war, then there will inevitably be people in the new power structure. Royal involvement.
It's just that in the past thirty years, the royal family, which could be said to be one of the leaders of power, has gradually fallen behind in the rankings, while Maggs has jumped up and become the real leader.
After all, he represents a new era and eliminates the possibility of national subjugation. No one is more suitable for this position than him.
"Now, I plan to let you join this real core power game. Of course, you don't need to worry, you still have some things to do!"
