Traveling in the Old Continent is not a pleasant thing. Unlike the New Continent, there are relatively developed railways connecting most of the cities together.
Most of the land here belonged to the fiefdom nobles. It is very difficult to let a railway pass through these nobles’ territories. Even if they explain the various benefits of the railway to the nobles, the enemy can pass through this in case of war. The railway passed through the territory in a short period of time and went straight to the interior, which was enough for the nobles to give up those benefits.
Countries and city-states close to the sea are not bad, because the coastline is too long and difficult to defend, so they have their own early warning and defense system. There is no need to worry that the railway will directly send the enemy to their hinterland, but because of the entanglement of interests and the hostile relationship The reason for this is that even if these kingdoms and city-states built railways, they were only small pieces of railways, and they were not completely connected.
However, recently the Fortune Church seems to be very interested in connecting these railways together to form a continental railway. It is sending people to lobby these countries and city-states, and it has achieved certain results.
But even if they are as powerful as the church of wealth, they do not have the slightest confidence to successfully persuade the inland kingdoms to accept the proposal that the railway runs through their kingdoms, so now the inland kingdoms still use the most primitive means of animal power for transportation.
However, there are also some countries because of their special geographical environment, which makes it extremely difficult for these countries to build railways even if they are willing to build railways. They even cost ten times or even dozens of times as much money as building railways in other places. For example, the Kingdom of Teresa is such a The first to advocate the benefits of railways, the royal family and the nobles of the kingdom were also willing to build railways, but there is no country that has a true railway.
The Kingdom of Teresa is located in a mountainous region. The entire kingdom is not only surrounded by mountains and ridges on the inside, but also surrounded by mountains on the outside. These mountains are like natural barriers to protect the Kingdom of Teresa from outside aggression. Since the founding of the kingdom, there has been only one case of being invaded by the enemy into the hinterland of the kingdom. That case was at the beginning of the founding of the country when its armaments were imperfect, and the invading army did not finally get out of the mountains of the Kingdom of Teresa.
After the Kingdom of Teresa regained its neighboring countries and became a subordinate country, it became the most stable country in the entire Old Continent.
In the past, in the extremely chaotic era of the Old World, those who were in the chaos of war all tried their best to get through the barriers and settle down in the Kingdom of Teresa, which gave it the title of a peaceful place.
For these outsiders, the Kingdom of Teresa did not reject them like other kingdoms, but accepted them and even granted them the status of normal citizens.
Regarding the behavior of the Kingdom of Teresa, the Churches of True God spoke highly of it and stated that they would never allow war to invade this quiet place. Therefore, as long as the church is involved in the future, basically no war will be involved. Will affect the Kingdom of Teresa.
However, not all kingdoms like Teresa Kingdom. There are also many kingdoms who are jealous of the stability of Teresa Kingdom. They want to create trouble for Teresa Kingdom, but they dare not directly attack Teresa due to the promise of the church. Sha Kingdom, and they did not have the confidence to break through the mountain defense of Teresa Kingdom on their own.
Ever since, they thought of a detrimental trick. Since the Kingdom of Teresa is willing to accept those who evade the war, they took the initiative to help the Kingdom of Teresa transport these people who fled, and they also used every method they could think of. To restrict the delivery of food to the Kingdom of Teresa, trying to use this method to artificially create famine within the Kingdom of Teresa, causing conflicts between the refugees and Teresa’s native people, and finally tearing off the last piece of pure land on the continent of Teresa. mask.
This practice did cause a lot of trouble to the Kingdom of Teresa at first. The Kingdom of Teresa was forced to use the treasury reserves to buy high-priced food, but it is not known whether the Kingdom of Teresa was too lucky or if they got it. With the blessing of the gods, after experiencing a difficult period, they discovered a kind of food crops suitable for growing in the mountains and with extremely high yields, which increased the grain yield of the Kingdom of Teresa by dozens of times, which is completely possible. Self-sufficiency, easily resolved this crisis.
This kind of crop caused quite a stir in the entire Old Continent at that time, and even caused the war in the Old Continent to stop unanimously for a period of time. Both the church and the country sent people to the Kingdom of Teresa, wanting Knowing whether things are true or not, if it is true, then they all hope to get the seeds of that kind of food crops to be planted in their own countries.
It’s a pity that after a joint inspection by several churches of the natural gods, it was discovered that this crop can only grow normally in the special environment of the Teresa Mountains. Once transplanted to other places, except for a few environments and special characteristics Except for the similar places in Leisha Mountain, no other places could be transplanted successfully.
After the turmoil caused by such high-yield crops subsided, the mainland returned to a state of war. As for the countries that conspired against the Kingdom of Teresa, the Kingdom of Teresa did not let them go after stabilizing the domestic situation. A large number of them came from The mercenaries of the Kingdom of Teresa entered the hostile countries around these kingdoms, and joined the military systems of these hostile countries to help these hostile countries conquer their cities. In the end, only two years later, the countries that had conspired against the Kingdom of Teresa It was annexed and divided by surrounding hostile countries.
Such things as the demise of the country weren’t a particularly big event at that time. Except for some interested people who discovered the role played by the Kingdom of Teresa in this matter, no one was concerned about the demise of these kingdoms. Putting too much attention, but in the eyes of some caring people, the Kingdom of Teresa has also been marked as dangerous.
Over the years, a large number of refugees have moved to the Kingdom of Teresa, and among these refugees there are some enlightened scholars, and some who have touched taboo knowledge and have been accused of being heretics.
Because the influence of the Church of True God in the Kingdom of Teresa is not great, these people do not have to worry that the church knights will open their house that day, drag them out of the bed, and hang them on a tree on the side of the street after they settle down. And a stable life also allows them to concentrate on their own research.
The Teresa Kingdom gathered these scholars together very early and opened the world’s earliest academy, and with the continuous expansion of the academy, it was eventually built into an academic city, but the church is more willing to call it Heresy city.
Although the church does not want to admit it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that whether it is the Church’s Holy Prayer House or the colleges built by other kingdoms and cities themselves, they are imitating the academic cities of the Kingdom of Teresa, and even some colleges. The codes are copied from the codes of the academic city.
Gu </span> The Academic City of Teresa Kingdom is willing to send its own scholars to the colleges of other kingdoms and city-states to exchange and study, and is also willing to absorb outstanding students from these colleges to study in the Academic City. This kind of exchange is only Some scattered and spontaneous behaviors did not rise to the official level. However, as the number of exchanges increased and the number of academic subjects involved increased, the number of personnel exchanges also doubled. Eventually, the academic city was the leading factor, and the colleges of various kingdoms and city-states A more standardized and efficient personnel exchange program was established.
According to the arrangement of the plan, two exchange seasons are arranged in a year, and the two exchange seasons are staggered and separated. In the spring exchange season, the Academic City will send its own tutors to the colleges of other countries and city-states to conduct academic exchanges. Until the arrival of the autumn exchange season, they will leave and return to the academic city, and take away the outstanding students they value from these colleges and go to the academic city for further study until the next spring exchange season. The completed students will follow the team of exchange mentors back to their respective colleges, and these students will generally become mentors of their respective colleges in the end.
Through this exchange program, the academic city of the Kingdom of Teresa continues to increase its influence, and the Kingdom of Teresa also benefits from this, and through these scholars who have studied in the academic city, they indirectly influence the culture and thinking of their country. And politics.
For this reason, although the Kingdom of Teresa cannot be compared with those large countries in terms of land area, even among the middle-sized countries, its land area is also in a lower position, but its influence is not lost at all. A large country, whether it is cultural, political, or even military, it has a strong influence on most countries on the mainland.
It is precisely because of the strength of the Teresa Kingdom that the Teresa people are more confident and proud than people in other kingdoms in their words and deeds. This special temperament makes Teresa people in other kingdoms. China is particularly eye-catching, which makes this a special label on them.
There is a joke that the best way to find Teresa among a bunch of strangers is to shout long live Teresa Kingdom.
Although this joke is a bit exaggerated, it is not completely fictitious. At least Delkan Belluzzi is such a Teresa who will involuntarily show pride when he hears the name of the Kingdom of Teresa.
Delkan Bellucci’s ancestors came from a very chaotic country in the eastern part of the mainland. They moved to the Kingdom of Teresa with their family after hearing the legend that the Kingdom of Teresa was the only pure land on the continent, and died in the process of migration. There were many people, and in the end, less than half of them came to the destination alive.
After they settled down in the Kingdom of Teresa, they lived a stable life. By the time Delkann, the generation was already the sixth generation, so he could be considered a native Teresa.
Like most refugee families, their family also took the line of mercenary military merit and came to establish a foothold in the Kingdom of Teresa. All of their families were soldiers, so that when he took the admission notice of the Academic City back to the family, the family was in For a long time, I wondered if this admission notice was fake.
It’s a pity that the members of their family are indeed not expected to study. After being out of the anomaly of Delcan, no one in the family can be admitted to the Academic City anymore, even if he has become a formal scholar, subject tutor, and passed Relationships help the members of the family get better education, but still cannot change the atmosphere of the family as a whole military.
Or maybe it was because the family's desire to discover talents was not satisfied, so Delkan began to focus on discovering outstanding students from other colleges. A few years ago, he completed his own research subjects and successfully became an official tutor. Later, he took the initiative to apply for transfer to the exchange season team as a recruiting mentor, and went to colleges in different cities with the exchange team of the Academic City to discover the outstanding students of those colleges and bring them back to the Academic City for further study.
It has to be said that Delcan is very good at this. Although he has not been a recruiting mentor for a long time, the number of outstanding students he has unearthed has reached as many as one hundred. Some tutors in the city have been directly promoted to be subject assistants, and they can directly become subject tutors without the need for competency assessments as long as their normal studies are completed.
For this reason, Delcan received high-level praise from the Academic City and awarded a related award last year. It also gave Delcan more recruitment rights, allowing him to recruit more than 50 students at one time. .
With power in his hands, Delkan will naturally not let it go to waste, so this time the autumn exchange season started, he directly recruited 50 outstanding students from the exchange college to go to the academic city. With a quarter of the students, the dean of that academy was so gloomy that he could drip water until the exchange team left.
"You have done too much!" On the way back to the Kingdom of Teresa, the chief instructor of the exchange team specifically found him to talk, and said: "Although I have no right to intervene in enrollment matters, your behavior has already affected the exchange season. For normal matters, UU read www.uukahnshu.com, so I still need to tell you, I hope you can use your rights carefully next time."
Facing the main tutor's reproach, Delcan can only bow his head and admit his mistake, but it is not known whether he will converge next time. After all, the main tutor who will lead the team next time is not necessarily the current person.
The country the exchange team went to was a small principality, not too far away from the Kingdom of Teresa. There were several friendly countries and the Kingdom of Teresa’s own subordinate countries in between. There were not only employment hired by the exchange team on the road. The corps protects it, and the countries and regions passing by will send their own troops to protect the exchange team from crossing the border. There is no problem with security.
It’s just that they didn’t walk easily, because these countries are all mountain countries, and most of the roads they walk are rugged mountain roads, which are very difficult to walk, and the team has to hurry because they need to land on Trey in the first snow. Before the Kingdom of Shah, climb the high wall mountain range, otherwise, after the heavy snow season, the high wall mountain range will be covered by snow. In this case, walking in the mountains will be much more dangerous than usual.
If calculated according to the usual distance, the exchange team will be able to cross the mountains before the first snow arrives, but this time the team’s personnel have exceeded the standard, not only has a lot of students, but also joined a few Teresa caravans. , Making the travel speed much slower, when they reached Dashu Town at the foot of the High Wall Mountains, the first snow had already fallen.
