Chapter 829: founding of the kingdom
After the end of the Longyi Island sea battle, the situation of the entire Hailong Islands became clear immediately.
Prior to this, although the advantages of the Lizardmen Kingdom were already relatively obvious, it was actually impossible to say that there was any certainty of victory against the alliance of a dozen large and small islands in the south with one Dragon’s Head Island. After all, both the total population and the total resources are dominated by the Southern Islands Alliance. Coupled with the uncertainty of the war itself, many people are not optimistic about these lizardmen.
As we all know, the lizardmen are a typical land dominant race. They are powerful and have natural scales, but they are not very good at sailing, and their thick and somewhat dull hands cannot steer the sails well. The potential of naval warfare is actually not good. Not much.
However, more than one scholar has pointed out that the so-called "lizardmen power" is actually only 60% of all the lizardmen, and the remaining 40% are all ethnic groups, and even about 5% of the mermaid. ——Mermaids are recognized as the strongest marine warfare race. They can clearly distinguish between ocean currents and sea breezes. They are like in their own yard at sea, and they will never get lost. And they are very flexible and vigorous, whether in the water or on the boat. Coupled with a long lifespan, one by one has mastered comprehensive fighting and magic skills. Apart from being sparsely populated and loathing vast continents, they are simply flawless.
Not only that, the Lizardmen force also has a large navy. Nearly forty large and small ships, more than a thousand skilled veteran sailors. This power is the advantage of crushing any island in the Southern Alliance.
As long as the lizard people can seize the opportunity and eat the navy of one or two islands in the south, it is enough to turn the balance of war and gain an advantage.
Even if they can't do it, with the advantage of the trade route, as long as they hold the Dragon Head Island and fight steadily, time will definitely be on their side.
These analyses are well-organized, and they can convince many people whether they are bullish on them or bearish on them.
However, even the scholars who were most optimistic about the power of the lizardmen did not expect that this group of lizardmen, who had only united Longtou Island for a few years, would rule the world in one battle, and defeated the navy of the Southern Islands Alliance in a decisive battle. won the war.
When the lizard people came to each island by boat, except for a very small number of diehards, all forces on each island chose to bow their heads and admit defeat.
The first thing to do is to recruit Ziliang. If you can't beat anyone, you have to admit defeat. It's useless to hold on. The residents of the various islands in the South China Sea have never had any sense of nationality, let alone the firm determination to "die for the country". If the naval battle is lost, it means that the situation is over for them, and they still haven't surrendered at this time - the boss is unwilling to surrender, and naturally there are people who are willing to surrender to become the boss. As for the "former boss"... Who cares about him! go to hell!
On January 9th, all the troops who went to the various islands to persuade surrender returned to Longtou Island. At the same time, the leaders of various forces in the southern islands also came to Longtou Island.
Everyone already understands the style of the Lizardmen's leader, Yunero. This guy is a guy who can do whatever he wants. Since he said that the country will be established after winning this battle, it will definitely be established.
If you don't rush to Longtou Island at this time, you will lose your share of the huge benefit of founding a country!
Therefore, the heads of various forces were even more anxious than the lizard people who were rushing back to the founding ceremony.
On January 10th, His Majesty Yuneruo announced that today is a national holiday. Everyone should wash their scales, cultivate their spirits, and prepare for tomorrow's founding ceremony.
On January 11th, the Lizardmen force "Sea Dragon Kingdom" officially announced the establishment of the country. His Majesty Yunero Heron was crowned king. But this kingdom does not use the traditional "king-duke-earl-baron-knight" system of nobility division, but consuls, large and small, who are responsible for handling the various affairs of the kingdom. This kind of affairs is completely different from the traditional aristocratic enfeoffment.
The various forces of the Sea Dragon Islands were not able to become the great nobles as they expected, but they also got the status of nobles and the positions of consuls. As long as you don't perform too badly in the regular assessment, and don't make bad things like public grievances, the consuls can be hereditary, and there is no big difference from the division of the nobility.
Of course, the fact that "the performance in the assessment is too poor will lead to dismissal" is already a huge difference from the traditional aristocrats. However, the leaders of these various forces have long been completely surrendered, or they have insufficient confidence, and no one has questioned this at all.
So this slightly unimaginable system was actually established like this.
Compared with the changes in the political system, there are actually many things worth mentioning at the founding ceremony of the Sea Dragon Kingdom.
For example, the Prince Qing of the Kingdom of Elanz, the upstart of the Western Continent, attended the founding ceremony on behalf of the kingdom, and presented a rich gift to His Majesty Yunero.
Another example is that the three countries of Trera, Morai, and Layton have all sent messengers, and they all expressed their willingness to formally establish diplomatic relations.
For another example, Her Majesty Elibella, the Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom, appeared in person at the founding ceremony and congratulated the Sea Dragon Kingdom on behalf of the countries in the South China Sea.
And... Forget it, there's really nothing to talk about in politics, it's just those things that go over and over again.
What the travelers are interested in is the special singing and dancing of the lizardmen at the founding ceremony. When a large group of lizardmen wielded machetes together and sang and danced in a neat formation, more than one transmigrator muttered, "Isn't this the legendary Arirang song and dance troupe?"
And when the lizard people collectively performed the characteristic "Belly Drum", many people laughed and laughed, feeling full of joy.
There are also some more sensitive people - pandas, for example, who noticed some characters at the founding ceremony that they had completely missed before.
For example, there is a cute little girl who looks soft and cute next to Yunero. Although her green skin looks weird, she has to admit that she is indeed a very cute little girl.
At that time, someone raised this matter in the chat channel and welcomed Yunero to join the loli party. However, Yuneruo himself denied this statement. According to his introduction, this little girl was entrusted by his friend to take care of her, and she was a technician... She knew a lot of medical knowledge.
Anka, a doctor who had just been rescued from the Halloween world, immediately expressed her desire to communicate with her about medicine, but was ruthlessly rejected.
In addition to these details, the most profound influence left by the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China is joy.
Sing as much as you like, dance as much as you like, cheer as much as you like, eat, drink and play as much as you like.
This practice will probably become the tradition of the Sea Dragon Kingdom, and it will be passed down from generation to generation along with the National Day anniversary...
