Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

The moon has flowed, the new year has opened, winter has passed, and spring has come.

I am 20 years old.

Welcomed an adult in Japan.

So far, all policies are on track.

At that time, the incident occurred.

"I'll strike again ..."

The commoners refused military service again.

If you refuse military service, you might think of an anti-war movement or something, but that's not true.

It's not a fear of war.

"So what happened this time?"

"That's it ..."

According to Raymond's explanation ...

Apparently, ten Australians who suffered from financial difficulties unfairly seized the property of ordinary people.

Knead the law and give it a good reason.

Of course, ordinary people are dissatisfied.

However, it is inferior to those who know the law.

But some of the commoners are smart.

For example, ordinary people engaged in commerce.

They sometimes deal with occupational Christians and understand the Greek language. Of course, you can write letters.

So we have some knowledge of the country's customary law.

So I realized that this case was a quibble of the royal family.

They instigated many commoners and sought a legal culture.

It spread throughout the country.

"Do you want to be suppressed by the army?"

"No, wait.

This case is crucially different from the previous two strikes and revolts.

One is that the commoners are seeking rights.

The previous strikes sought for post-war security, tax cuts, and distribution of loot.

The previous revolt broke out when the commoners sought a trial again.

This time is different.

It was a clear culture of the law, that is, it demanded that the commoners release the law.

Another difference.

It is a movement that spans the whole country.

The previous strike was engaged in road construction, raising some solidarity and causing some soldiers to wake up.

The previous rebellion was initiated by a local tribe governed by the royal family.

However, strikes have occurred all over the country this time.

"For the time being, please tell the nation's nations by hawk mail and Hayama.

"I understand"

If an armed conflict occurs, it will lead to a full-scale civil war.

The struggle between the dominant and the dominated classes.

And ...

Probably defeat.

This is because most of our soldiers are from the civilian class.

It is possible that the army headed for suppression would turn over.

"And call me Ron."

For a moment, he was telling me to deal with intelligence in the country.

"I'm sorry, your Majesty. I can't see through ..."

Ron quickly apologized when he met me.

Well, I hope you've reflected on it.

"Is it okay to make an excuse?"

"Well, depending on the content."

Ron says he was checking all the movements of Christian merchants in the country.

Magicians were also engaged in intelligence operations.

Therefore, there is no outside intervention for this strike.

"In other words, is it just the ordinary people in Japan?"

"Probably. Perhaps .... I think the centuries were a major factor because of their long-term troop dispatch, because they are the core of the region's leaders, and road maintenance and commercial expansion. I think that one of the reasons is that the speed of information transmission has increased as a result. "

In other words, there is a story about strike activities in one region.

That means that it spread all over the country through the connections of merchants and centurions.

Well, our territory is not so large.

If so, it could be spread all over the country in a few days.

"Almost no mark for Adernian merchants in the country."

"Well ... I don't mean we're going to tear up that many people ... this time we couldn't help it. First of all, we just need to know that there is no foreign involvement."

That said, tomorrow, it will reach across the Adernia Peninsula tomorrow.

If strikes are too prolonged, countries may move into military action.

And if something happens ...

"Her Majesty! @ A quick horse from Bartolo Pompey!"

That's what I thought.

I can imagine the contents.

An armed uprising of the Christian city-state of King Belvedir, which was reaped during the siege.

I guess.

"I was troubled"

Raymond sighed.

My imagination was right.

After all, the Christian city-state launched the independence movement.

Well, originally they have a strong sense of independence.

It seems that King Belvedir also had a hard time coping.

"Even so, the movement of ordinary people is active recently."

Iar muttered.

Iaal is originally a human of the civilian class.

I can't help but surprise the fact that ordinary people have gained strength in the last few years.

"Well, my tax cuts will start."

That was the taste.

The commoners understood that if a strike happened, we would have to make concessions.

Nevertheless, there was no country at this time to suppress that force.

No regrets or remorse.

And again, there is one option.

"I can only promise a clear culture of law."

"But it's too easy to succumb to demand ..."

Lymond has a bitter look.

Yes, that is the problem.

If the request escalates as it is, our position will eventually be in danger.

The steps to unify the Adernia Peninsula, which have been accumulated so far, are turned over.

Well, my popularity is high ...

I don't think it's possible until the abolition.

"By the way, what does your Majesty think about the demands of ordinary people?"

"The response will change depending on your thoughts."

My thoughts ...

"Well, in the end, I'm going to grant some suffrage, because duties come with rights. We must guarantee our rights. ''

"In other words, is the royal system abolished in the end?"

"No, that's not it."

The commoners can fight or rule the tax.

Some political decisions are possible.

However, it is the knowledge hierarchy that can command the army and perform practical administration and legislation ...

Only royals and royalty.

The privileged class needs to be maintained ... or will be.

There is no way democracy can be done for ordinary people who cannot write, and even if they can, they will not last long.

Ancient democracy only takes place inside small city states.

"I think it's best for the king, the royal family, and the commoners to maintain the same political power."

"What will you do specifically?"

Raymond is persistently pursuing.

The king's adoption of politics with a modest political vision is not because he was a vassal ...

Do you take this opportunity?

"Well, just a goal ... do you know I'm going to take the territory out of all the tribes?"

"Yes, I know that."

"But that doesn't mean that political power is competing?"

Well, wait.

The story is on the way.

"Collect all the nobles in the center. Well, it is not appropriate to call a nobleman a nobleman .... Let's say that it is a noble. I will create a conference centered on those nobles. Evolution, the name is the House of Lords or the Senate ... Well, either would be fine. "

The royals are politicians and soldiers.

Even though it is strange, many are intellectuals and intelligent.

It is inevitable to kill them.

He intends to strengthen his power, initially as King's advisory body, and eventually transferring some authority.

Good while I'm alive.

I think my kids will be fine depending on my education.

However, my grandchildren become suspicious as soon as I can replace them.

Possibility of the king's illness, possibility of tyrannical tyranny, possibility of the child becoming king, possibility of serious physical and intellectual disability ...

Even if the national strength is strong, it will not be talked about if the top is useless.

That's where the Senate comes in.

Stopping the king's runaway or assisting the king will keep the country.

It could also be used as a pool of talent.

Nobles have many assets, even though they have lost territory.

Noble children will be raised with higher education.

And we are proud that we are leading the country.

In other words, people who can be trusted.

It would be nice if you could do a test like a vocational course, but there is no know-how or money to make it possible.

However, it will be better than the current recruitment.

You can choose a king's aide, such as Raymond or Iar, or a soldier, such as Bartolo.

But the question is, is the Senate too powerful?

I'm saying that.

So I am going to use the power of the commoners.

"I'm going to stipulate that only the King has absolute command (imperium), and that all soldiers will have to obey the King, right?" If the Senate tries to violate the privileges of the commoners, only the King can stop it, will the people protect him? "

Considering the structure of the dominant class and the subordinate class, they are originally the King and Senate (noble) VS ordinary people.

I took this in front of me,

I'm thinking of switching to the Senate (noble) VS King, the commoner.

To sum up, it's like the separation of powers.

Balance the state by distributing power to the king, the Senate, and the commoners.

"And open the door to political participation for the commoners. Allow them to submit their opinions to the state and, depending on their financial and power, invite them to the Senate."

As a matter of fact, only a few people want to take part in politics.

Many people think that it is enough to live in peace every day.

The commoners revolt against the dominant class because some of the more powerful groups instigate the commoners and plan revolts.

The core of this strike is centuries and merchants with economic power.

The strike happened because they wanted to break the royal legal monopoly.

Then give them the opportunity to participate in politics.

Then no complaints will occur.

The strategy is to bring the leaders of the dominant class into the dominant class.

"I see ... that kind of idea ..."

Iar looks at me shiningly.

Stop it, I'm shy.

"But if the Senate and the commoners work together, will the royal family be at a disadvantage?"

"We're going to create a system where the royal family can be put in the Senate and the influential people of the commoners can be in close relations. If the three layers are moderately mixed, the two groups can form an alliance and defeat the other. Well, I'm still worried, but ... "

There is no country that will never die.

No country other than Ethiopia or Japan has been able to maintain the same pedigree king for thousands of years.

Unless I become immortal, it is impossible to keep the country forever.

But there is something I can say for sure.

If the king has no power, the monarchy lasts longer.

The Islamic caliph, for example, lost most of its power in the middle, but somehow survived the days of Selim I.

The Japanese imperial family has lost political power since the reign of Seiji, but has survived to this day.

Surprisingly, the two-pronged system, in which the Senate and the commoners hold political power and the king decorates, may last longer.

"Well, that's my idea."

"Is this thing convenient for your Majesty?"

"Well, one day I thought I had to do a clear culture."

It might have been better to run it earlier.

"It may be better not to be reluctant and to make the king, the royal family and the commoners equal under the law."

Abolish the law of identity and judge all human beings equally under the law.

Guarantee private property and make that right inaccessible.

If it is required anyway, it is better to resolve it as soon as possible.

"But it's a problem for ordinary people to get on the map."

"It's a problem that neither the king nor the royal family seems necessary."

Here, there is only one solution we can do.

"But even if you gather racials and guards, you have less than a thousand? Isn't the rebels going to have at least 5,000?"

Iar listens worried.

Well it is impossible to fight with us alone ...

"Not all ordinary people participated in the strike. If you rake in those who decide not to participate, you can secure 2,000, and none of Bartolo's men have participated in the strike."

"What's the army of Bartolo?"

"I don't understand well, but he seems to be full of motivation."

Bartolo thoroughly trained the raided commoners.

To create a new tactic.

Of course, the laid out commoners have no time to plow the fields.

That's why I paid for my living expenses.

In other words, it has become a half standing army.

I guess they are breathing to try their training.

"Already Bartolo is on the verge of suppression. We will also rush and crush the troops quickly, and demand the" obligations "of the" people "who struck after the war in exchange for" rights. "

We don't give it because we succumbed to the request.

Give it in exchange for duty.

It is very different just to adopt the appearance.

"If you decide, you have to move quickly."

"Oh, I'll be in the army within two days.

""Yes!!""

Thus, the first conquest of the southern part began.
