Chapter 1,293 Haider Empire
After the end of that dark age, when various kingdoms arose, if the leader had the ability and gathered a group of people, he could establish a nation. Speaking of which, it's almost like bandits building a cottage.
The next few hundred years were filled with countless conquests, annexations, and great waves. Some people have been lost in the torrent of time, and are not even qualified to leave their names; some people are lingering and surviving to this day. Of course, there are also people who soar into the sky and become co-owners. At this point, Haider stood out and reorganized the empire.
But a closer look at the system of the Haider Empire shows that it is somewhat different from the Gwana Empire. Although the Gwana Empire was a feudal system, it had a tendency to evolve toward centralization.
Although Haider is called an empire, it only has such a name because its territory is large enough. In fact, it is more like a federal state. The feudal lords in various places have considerable power, and there is even a phenomenon that the emperor's order is not included.
The reason why the emperor of the Haider Empire is in such a weak position is also related to the way in which he was born.
The emperor of Haider was not succeeded by a descendant of the previous emperor. Instead, after the death of the previous emperor, the next emperor was elected from among the nobles with elector qualifications.
The qualifications for electors are the original thirty-seven family heads when Haider founded the country, and the fourteen former royal families who later joined the empire and gave up the throne. Among these people, the lowest title is marquis, so they are collectively called "electors".
In the history of Haider, there will not be a gap of several years without an emperor. Because after the death of the previous emperor, within a maximum of half a year, the nobles with the qualifications to elect the emperor would gather together to elect the next emperor.
During this period, of course, all kinds of coaxing methods were used, but they were not allowed to use weapons without permission. Those who use force will be expelled from the current period and the clan leader will be forced to abdicate.
However, if no evidence of the assassination is found, it is not included in this list. It's just that such a method is not a last resort, and few people take this path. Because everyone's eyes are staring at it, hoping that someone will do this stupidly and then return it to the competition for power. Therefore, there are endless cases of digging holes to frame people and framing people's faults.
The choice of emperor must have the support of all families, not just a few who obey the majority. Therefore, how to persuade some sworn enemies has become the most important issue for every emperor.
Simply coercing people is usually not a good method. It is easier to convince opponents who have different positions by giving a win-win situation and using force. But no matter how the emperor came to power in the end, mixing mud can be regarded as a necessary skill for every emperor of Haider. As a non-strong monarch, it is very important to know how to leverage your own strength.
It seems incredible that a country with such a system can actually claim the title of emperor. But if you know that the Hydel Empire may be the country that values technology the most in the entire land, its power is not so surprising.
When its country built one or two airships for battlefield support and command, the Hydel Empire spent huge sums of money to build them in large quantities and formed the only airship army in the Land of Creation.
Dwarf machinery and goblin machinery are heretics that everyone avoids in their place. Although they are not widely used in the Hydel Empire, the shadows of these machines can be seen in some key positions. Such as city gates, city defense weapons, and cross-river bridges that are regarded as breaking through the natural chasm.
The Haider Empire also has a very special system, a state within a state. These countries usually joined the empire at a later stage, and their kings were not eligible to elect emperors. Because of their strong national power or uniqueness, they usually ally with the empire in the name of the country, rather than as lords of a certain place.
This kind of state within a state has a certain degree of autonomy, but it must obey the arrangements of the empire when it comes to the deployment of troops. Violation is regarded as rebellion, and the rebellion will naturally be attacked with troops.
Of course, some of them are too powerful for the Hydel Empire to attack regardless of the cost. But they were unwilling to let it sit in the hinterland of the empire without any restrictions or restrictions. Therefore, in the name of the suzerainty, and letting it listen to the instructions but not the announcement, at least everyone can live in peace.
For example, in the Gwana Empire, this is the situation in the holy city Estali, which belongs directly to the emperor. There is also one of the ancients, the Wood Elf tribe of Yggdrasil, the world tree, who is also in the Gwana Empire and is nominally controlled by the empire. In reality, who dares to control them.
Within the Haider Empire, the most famous one is the kingdom of pure magicians - the Principality of Crow. People without magical talent are not even qualified to stay on that land as slaves. The principality's magician army is also ranked among the most powerful in the world.
Another special country in Haider is the guest from the Kingdom of Silk that Lin met today.
This country was able to survive because it was the only silk-producing country known today, not because of the force of the past. Silk is a commodity that can even be used as hard currency in some places. With this phenomenon, there is no need to doubt the popularity and value of silk in China.
If these countries within a country want to be qualified as an elector, it is simply to give up their autonomy and some of the technologies protected in the name of the country and accept the canonization of the Emperor of the Haider Empire. In this way, according to the size of its territory and population, it can obtain the title of the corresponding rank, as well as the most important elector qualification.
However, in name, every elector is equal, but in reality, the candidates who will be elected are the original thirty-seven families of the Haider Empire. Those who obtain qualifications later are by default those who have the right to vote but not the right to be elected. Even so, being eligible to vote is also a very important right in such a large empire.
Of course, the above information is collected from the forum and what these guests are willing to say. Whether there are other secrets or some shameful things behind it is not something Lin, an outsider, can know.
In the process of chatting, of course, eating and drinking are indispensable. There must be some wine, some are fine wines from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, some are from the Duchy of Kawi, and some were brought from the Kingdom of Huelva in the southwest peninsula a while ago.
The reason why he would do this at all costs was of course to please Count Guha's mouth. As a count of an empire and the captain of an airship legion, Guha's knowledge is also quite broad. Although he had no intention of doing business, as a descendant of a great food empire, how could Lin not be curious about the delicious specialties of the Haider Empire. So these delicious and delicious food are conversation starters and stepping stones.
Not to mention that Midland is very backward and the cuisine is not as sophisticated as Earth, let alone the gourmet country of my hometown. But I can’t stand the fact that there are many rare ingredients in this world!
Have you ever eaten dragon meat? There is also a saying when you are on earth: dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the earth. But who dares to say that they have actually eaten dragon meat. However, there are indeed dragons in the land of wonders, and there are so many varieties that it’s dizzying. They fly from the sky, crawl on the ground, and swim in the water!
There are also pheasants on the earth. But if this chicken is so ferocious that it can kill tigers and leopards, what will happen to the quality of such chicken? Not to mention that a chicken is bigger than an ostrich on Earth, and its tail is wagging like a snake's head.
The advantage of Lost Land is that there are many animals and plants that are not found on Earth. Even if these things are not carefully cooked, just scalded with hot water, they still have a good taste. That's what Lin wanted to know.
In addition to food, Lin of course started looking for another important product, which was tea!
There are so many time-travelling beings from various dynasties on earth who came to the Lost Land. Some brought rice, some brought sweet potatoes. They also found coffee in the Lost Land, but there was no tea! It almost becomes someone's obsession.
It will definitely not work if you rely on the Flash Technique to search around like a headless fly. Although I know about tea, I don’t know the botanical characteristics of the tea tree because I don’t have samples to compare with. If you don't know the characteristics of plants and use flash and environmental detection magic, you don't know what kind of target you are looking for.
Under such circumstances, the only way someone could think of to break the situation was to imitate Shen Nong and taste the herbs, eating them tree by tree... In short, Lin had never thought of doing it himself, it would take too much time. Since there are people from that place who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, there is nothing wrong with asking.
But it is a pity that whether it is Count Guha or the guests from the Kingdom of Silk, their understanding of tea is limited to the scented tea drunk by the elves. There is no tea soup as I imagined.
Just when someone was disappointed and didn't know how to answer the question, Fen walked in.
The former Demon King was wearing the second magical silk costume he had completed not long ago. It was a Tang-style skirt suit with a floor-length skirt, light blue as the base, and silver thread embellishments. There were not many complicated patterns. The undershirt is pure white, with blue lines outlining cloud patterns.
She also made a bun with a ponytail and inserted three hairpins. A pair of Bai Na Yun shoes are on her feet, and she holds a round fan in her hand, swaying gently as she walks. The hairpins on their heads knocked against each other, making a tinkling sound.
It's a pity that this former Demon King doesn't have the feeling of being a little bird. When she came out wearing this outfit, she was so gorgeous. Both men and women will see their eyes straighten. Even a time traveler who thinks he has countless women is the same.
However, this was not the first time Lin had seen it, so he did not lose his composure like others. The pair of thieves only glanced at it and then took it back. Because we have to resist the discomfort from Fen.
Fen's Tang Dynasty unrestrained style clothing is essentially a magical equipment belonging to the Lost Land. The previous four-spirit suit was designed with defense in mind.
When the power of the four spirit suits is fully activated, it can theoretically withstand an instantaneous burst of millions of terajoules for up to half an hour. The meaning of this number is that no known nuclear weapon on earth can break through Fen's four-spirit suit defense.
This set of Tang ladies' clothes, called Qingyun clothes, takes a different route.
The Qingyun server will independently absorb the unprotected powers within a certain range around it and assimilate them into an order exclusive to the Qingyun server. Jufan's eight protected powers, which do not exist within the entity, are within the scope of absorption. The absorbed power serves as the support for the magic operation on Qingyun Server, thereby achieving theoretical "perpetual motion".
This function is mainly designed for gods.
