Chapter 7 Brown Jennings
The Dosan Railway spans the Dosan Desert, connecting the western part of the Flormink Empire and the Marcellus province in the east, and is an important lifeline of the Flormink Empire.
The Florminke Empire was once an inland country. The arduous living environment created the empire's atmosphere of advocating force. The imperial musketeers and cavalry regiments were rampant on the mainland. No country dared to cooperate with this air and land, and the light and heavy cavalry were cooperated in the distance. There was also the cavalry corps directly under the magician regiment in the field. At the same time, because of the powerful force of the Florminke Empire, neighboring countries had to unite and restrain the expansion of the empire on horseback.
The narrow and narrow Duosan Desert in the north and south is a natural barrier that blocks the Florminke Empire's eastward advance. The Eastern countries also think that this desert of death filled with dead souls is enough to cut off the Florminke Empire's peeping over the fertile land in the east.
But no one can understand the desire of an inland empire for the ocean. The sea in the east and the vast world overseas attract the generals, nobles and their emperors of the Florminke Empire to look to the east.
Finally, two hundred years ago, the Florminke Empire launched an eastern expedition with all its strength. The imperial army crossed the Desert of Dosan and captured the Marcellus province after more than ten years of war. As it wished, it got the estuary that the empire longed for.
But it is not easy to capture land, and it is even more difficult to defend it!
All the countries in the East know what it means to allow the Flormink Empire to gain an estuary in the east and gain a foothold... The entire eastern part of the continent is exposed under the iron hooves of the Flormink Empire.
So the Hundred Years' War broke out around the province of Marcellus...
The existence of the Dosang Desert made the empire's support for the Marcel war. Most of the war materials were consumed in the transportation of the desert. They not only had to face the extremely harsh environment of the desert, but also had to face the attacks of the undead. Moreover, the empire in the inland had not had enough materials and war expenses. In the difficult time, in a year, the empire did not send a grain of food or a soldier to the Marcel province.
During the Hundred Years' War, the Florminke Empire lost control of the Marcellus province several times. However, the desire for the ocean made the entire empire tighten its belt, save everything that could be saved, and use all its national strength to support the counterattack army.
The Dosan Railway was built during the war. It was a railway of 800 kilometers in length. The Florminke Empire had been built for a hundred years.
Every sleeper on the railway was soaked with blood, including road builders, imperial soldiers, and troops from the Eastern countries who came to destroy the railway.
A hundred years ago, the Dosan Railway was opened to traffic. When the continuous imperial army and war materials were sent to the province of Marceles, the war that had been fought for a hundred years ended.
The Eastern Kingdoms and the Florminke Empire exhausted their last strength for this war, and no one could continue the war.
So the Treaty of Marcelus was signed.
The Eastern countries recognized the legal right of the Florminke Empire over the Marcellus province; the Florminke Empire allowed the Marcellus province to be autonomous and organized a group of recommended meetings. The empire could send a governor to the Marcellus province, and the governor was the commander of the imperial garrison in the Marcellus province, but was administratively controlled by parliament. Provincial officials must be elected and then appointed by parliament.
The two sides compromised, the treaty came into effect, and the peace finally came to the Marcellus province.
Although the Florminke Empire lost part of its rights in the Marcelères province, it finally didn't have to continue to release its blood for this land. The Hundred Years War really consumed Florminke's national strength. Even if the Duosan Railway was opened to traffic, they didn't know who would win and lose if the war continued...
The Eastern countries were unwilling to fight anymore. They lived on the fertile land on the eastern coast. The comfortable life made their soldiers far less likely than the fighting will of the Florminke Iron Cavalry. The Dosan Railway was opened to traffic, and the Florminke Empire would support the Marcelese province more conveniently, and the anti-war situation in the country was severe.
The treaty was signed, and the Florminke Empire's control and influence over the Marcelese province was greatly reduced. They believed that the residents of the Marcelese province had the blood of the eastern civilization and would use their own ways to prevent the expansion of the Western barbarians.
Peace lasted for a hundred years.
With a huge inland market, the Marcelères province soon became the oriental pearl of the Florminke Empire. The land here is fertile, the climate is suitable, and the ocean trade has allowed the province to quickly get rid of the trauma of war and become the richest province of the empire.
The Dosan Railway, which connects Florminke's native to the Marcelères province, became the most important artery of the empire. Countless people and materials traveled on this desert of death every day.
Brown Jennings is a 9th-level high-level magician. He is a Flormink native and the eldest son of Baron Jennings. The Baron has a manor near the imperial capital, with nearly a hundred serfs and dozens of free people. Baron Jennings also serves as a small official in an important department of the imperial capital. He has a little power and status... and lives are also worry-free.
But as the Baron's first heir, Brown Jennings was not interested in inheriting the estate and the Baron...
This time I went home was a torment for Brown Jennings.
The dirt roads in the countryside are bumpy and bumpy, and it is uncomfortable to ride a car. You should always pay attention to the feces of animals under your feet when walking. You can endure it if you are careful, but after a heavy rain, you will never imagine what the entire manor smells.
The people in the manor were even more vulgar. They didn't take a bath for several months... The clothes were covered with greasy and stains, their hair was dirty and knotted, and lice were crawling on it very arrogantly. What's even more terrifying is that they were all very enthusiastic about Brown Jennings who came home on holiday and liked to surround the eldest son of this family who had seen the world.
There is also Baron Jennings. When Brown just returned home, he was pulled out by his father, riding a horse and carrying mudgies to hunt in the forest. He and his family knights rode their horses and shouting loudly, driving the deer herds, shooting everywhere unscrupulously. They also opened their chests without shame, revealing their thick chest hair, rubbing the mud on their bodies while talking about the meat terminal. What made Brown want to vomit was... they filled the wine pot with deer blood, and then mixed the spirits and drank them in big mouthfuls... and let him drink them.
No wonder the Marcelles call the Florminks country barbarians.
I really don’t know how my ancestors crossed the Death Desert and conquered the beautiful Marcels Province. This is probably the place where Brown Jennings has the most favorable impression of this family. Without the Hundred Years War, he would not see what civilization looked like, and he would be like his father... to be a drunkard full of swearing words.
