Chapter 351 Shadow Kingdom

I'm really sorry, I forgot to set the time last night and was more than an hour late

————————

The sun was shining, the sky was clear, and it was a sunny day. "Bang bang——" The Shadow Island was filled with salutes. After a period of public discussion, the Shadow Island Organization finally selected the day for the founding of the country.

On this day, all the pirate groups of the Shadow Island Organization gathered on Shadow Island. Of course, it is impossible for all pirates to gather on Shadow Island. Although Shadow Island is a relatively large island, there are obviously more pirates making a living in the northern and eastern waters of Eslaze.

Each pirate group sent more than a dozen or as few as one or two warships to Shadow Island to watch the ceremony according to its own size. Even some coastal chambers of commerce and even small countries that have close ties with the Shadow Island Organization sent envoys to participate in the pirates' founding ceremony.

There were not many complicated ceremonies - pirates of noble origin could not come up with so many red tapes. After a brief memorial to the "martyrs", Yorick walked to the platform and prepared to announce the establishment of the kingdom.

As soon as Yorick appeared on the platform, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down. Yorick looked down at the crowd, looking radiant, with an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. How could I have thought that I would become a king half a year ago?

Without letting everyone wait for long, Yorick made a solemn announcement. Under Yu Fei's unremitting training, Yorick now also has the strength of the sky level. His deep voice spread throughout the Shadow Island under the background of his own fighting spirit - "In the name of the Pirate King, I, Yorick, declare that the Shadow Kingdom is established!"

"Wow--" Before Yorick finished speaking, the whole island was cheered and applauded. Shadow Kingdom was the name of the country determined by the original Shadow Island Council after deliberation. Originally, everyone was going to use the simple and straightforward "Pirate Kingdom" as the name of the country, but considering that it would become a formal country after all, the image was very important. So at Yorick's suggestion, Shadow Kingdom was adopted as the name of the country.

After the new King Yorick announced the establishment of the kingdom, the highlight of the entire ceremony was the part that the audience was most concerned about. That is, the law of the Shadow Kingdom. The power divided in the law is what concerns the vital interests of every pirate, and the Shadow Kingdom is just a unified symbol.

Several of the most senior members of the Shadow Island organization came to the stage together and began to read out the laws of the Shadow Kingdom.

"1. The Shadow Kingdom is a 'permanent federation'. At the beginning of its establishment, it was divided into 34 states. Each state enjoys a certain degree of civil autonomy, while the military, diplomatic, legislative and other powers belong to the kingdom. In terms of trade, each state has a certain degree of autonomy, but it needs to comply with the regulations of the kingdom."

"2. The former speaker of the Shadow Island Organization and the pirate king Yorick served as the first king of the Shadow Kingdom and is the common ruler of all states in the kingdom. The king has the right to divide new states and appoint kingdom officials; he has the right to sign and promulgate kingdom laws and supervise the implementation of laws."

"3. The kingdom's army is commanded by the king, and officers are appointed by the king from various states. The Federal Parliament and the People's Parliament shall not interfere in foreign wars launched by the king."

"4. The Federal Parliament and the People's Parliament are legislative bodies and exercise legislative power. The Federal Parliament is composed of managers of the kingdom's states, and the People's Parliament is composed of representatives of the people of each state. They have the right to propose laws. The King can approve bills and exercise budgetary review power. However, the legislation of the People's Assembly must be approved by the majority of the Federal Parliament. "

"Fifth, the King is supervised by the Federal Parliament and the People's Assembly. He has a veto power over general bills passed by the majority of the two parliaments, and an absolute veto power over military bills. "

"Sixth, when the public tranquility in the federal territory is threatened or when it is necessary to threaten the public tranquility of other countries, the King can declare a certain area to be in a state of war. The King has the right to issue a decree of total war. During the period of the decree, the King enjoys the highest power in the kingdom. "

"Seventh, the King represents the kingdom internationally and has the right to declare war and make peace in the name of the kingdom. "

"The above seven articles will be engraved on the Pirate Code Stone Pillar as the supreme constitution of the Shadow Kingdom to show the authority of the kingdom. "

In addition to this most important constitution, several senior pirate leaders read out the civil laws, trade laws, etc. of the Shadow Kingdom one after another. These laws clearly divide the territories and powers enjoyed by each state, and explain the future survival mode of the kingdom. However, what surprised everyone was that these laws did not clearly divide the territory of the entire Shadow Kingdom.

Needless to say, the so-called constitution of the Shadow Kingdom was naturally invented by Yu Fei. In the Dark Night Empire, all the night elves regard Yu Fei as the father god, so there is no need for any power distribution, and they can just be managed by the heroes.

The local elves attached to Yu Fei have their own management methods, and Yu Fei does not value their power too much, so he did not spend much time managing them. Anyway, the elves' belief in the World Tree remains unchanged, as long as they are obedient.

However, the management methods of the former Shadow Island organization and the current Shadow Kingdom, which are secretly controlled, made Yu Fei spend some time thinking.

Although Yu Fei can control many people mentally, it is impossible to control all the countless pirates in the Shadow Kingdom. To be honest, Yu Fei feels very annoyed now that he only controls a few senior pirate councilors. The thoughts are divided into several parts. Although he can freely choose whether to receive the sensory information of the controlled person, it still makes Yu Fei feel dizzy from time to time.

Since it is impossible to make the pirates completely obey themselves like the night elves, then they can be used by themselves and obey the puppets controlled by themselves through the system.

Speaking of which, the establishment of the Shadow Kingdom is more beneficial than harmful to ordinary pirates. After the Shadow Island Organization was upgraded to a kingdom, most of the warships will be incorporated into the kingdom army. Pirates who do not want to live a life of blood and knife can choose to become a normal kingdom civilian and live a stable life in their respective states.

Although it is not like a whole piece of land on land, the area of ​​large and small islands under the jurisdiction of the Shadow Kingdom is actually larger than that of ordinary kingdoms. With fleets transporting daily necessities, pirates who have retired can live the same or even happier lives as citizens of land countries.

When on Earth, Yu Fei was just an ordinary student. How could he have the opportunity to participate in politics or even establish a kingdom form and laws? In the Shadow Kingdom controlled by himself, Yu Fei used his intelligence and combined what he learned in history and politics classes to come up with a set of laws to maintain Yorick's rule.

In the constitution of the Shadow Kingdom, the first article is the part that explains the power of each state and kingdom, and clearly stipulates that the military and diplomatic power belongs to the kingdom, which is equivalent to Yorick. After that, except for the fourth article, all emphasize the power of the king - especially the military power. This is of course for the Shadow Kingdom to respond to the call of the Dark Night Empire and go to war with human countries in the future.

These seven constitutions are engraved on the Pirate Code Stone Pillar in the center of Shadow Island, becoming the unchanging basic law of the kingdom. Unless the Shadow Kingdom is destroyed, Yorick will become the leader of thousands of pirates from now on, and the only real pirate king in the world of Eslaze.

After the laws of the kingdom were announced one by one, the members of the Federal Parliament and the People's Parliament elected within a few days also went to the high platform for a ceremony, and representatives of the two parliaments also made speeches. Whenever a member of a state appeared, the spectators in his state would cheer.

All pirates felt that such a management system was the best; our king was able to propose such a state form, which was really a rare wise monarch in the history of Eslaze! The atmosphere on Shadow Island suddenly turned into praise and support for the new king Yorick.

This atmosphere is naturally not normal. Although Yorick has improved his reputation through various means, it is impossible for him to be supported by all pirates after only a few months in office. Now Shadow Island has actually been shrouded in Yu Fei's spiritual field. Everyone's subconscious is influenced by Yu Fei and tends to support Yorick and the kingdom.
