(p12) The Chapter
3 New Nippurland 2
In BC 2310 years, the internal troubles of Bahrland finished and
Tammurs came to the throne.
Tyamato did not return to Bahrland.
She decided to rebuild her country to India.
As a starter, she changed the name of a town first.
The name "Adad" was abandoned and she named "Lanka"
which means an island.
Since the town was built to the sandbank in which the Indus wound,
it was named in this way.
Purchasing surrounding land was continued and Tyamato built the
New Nippurland centering on a Lanka city.
The Tammurs received his mother's intention and built the port city
Cizim in the Indus mouth of a river.
The trade range of Bahrland spread further by construction of Cizim.
Especially this country brought the result which monopolizes the
right of trade to India, and brought immense profits.
It canceled in an instant and loss by the internal trouble was set
to BC2300.
When Tammurs starts a direct Imperial government, prosperity of
Bahrland came to exceed father's king's time.
Also himself, Tammurs visited Lanka city frequently and offered
most wealth unsparingly for city development.
Therefore, Lanka city developed quickly and grew up to be an epoch-making
rational city as that time.
The form of the city was made against Hara city.
The waterworks passed along the city whole region.
As for the central part, the high-rise building stood close together.
The flush toilet and the dust chute were furnished to those each
part stores.
The Lanka city accomplished big development as a distribution center
of goods.
In BC 2290 years, the population became 300,000 persons and truly
grew up to be the India area second city.
The reputation of King Tammurs in Bahrland was poor.
The king supported the Lanka city too much.
People thought that the king had neglected the political affairs
of his own country.
He has actually spent most profits produced in trade on Lanka city
construction.
The king persuaded ministers "For this to be the investment
for the future."
However, nobody has been convinced.
On the other hand, Adad who was bide ones timing in Qatar became
the brawny youth, and he had become the feudal lord of an oasis
city Jambaldamna.
The mother told and raised him "overthrow Tammurs" a like
lullaby.
He had strong hate to Tammurs.
Bahrland was governing a town called Dammam to the Arabian Peninsula
side on the opposite shore.
Adad was planning capture of this town.
If the territory is made to fall, Bahrland will lose the scaffold
in the Arabian Peninsula and will be exposed to fear on defense.
Dammam was an important position on mainland defense.
But, the handling by the side of Bahrland was poor, and the residents'
dissatisfaction was increasing.
Since the Adad bribed the director general of Dammam by gold and
the woman beforehand, he took to capture.
Tammurs was surprised at the attack of Adad army.
He sent the navy confusedly.
However, the harbor was blocked by the Dammam occupation forces
who ran for betraying conversely, and the warship and the soldier
have been taken.
The Bahrland which lost the navy became weak abruptly.
Before arriving at Manama of the capital, the Qatar navy captured
the trade ship of Bahr land.
It brought serious damage to Bahrland economy.
Tammurs issued the command as build warships hurriedly.
However, the Bahrain island had few big trees which become the material
of a ship from the first.
This country depended for it on import conventionally.
There were many shipbuilders.
But, the skilled sailors had almost become the prisoners of war.
Therefore, it was in the state in which stroke hands are not.
Tammurs expected the desperate plan.
He decided to see off the messenger who orders mobilization of the
squadron which was at anchor to Cizim.
Then, while it was, important vassals abandoned Tammurs.
They started the coup d'etat.
They caught Tammurs and confined him in the court.
And they saw off the envoy in Qatar and received Adad to the king
again.
Adad feared fitting into a trap.
He sent the soldier of 5000 to the Bahrland first.
He made Bahr national army disarm and did full ascendancy of the
whole island.
The people of the island were nonresistant.
Adad stepped on the territory of his country in comfort.
The people of the island welcomed ardently, when Adad landed.Retainers
prostrated themselves and swore obedience.
Vassals prostrated themselves and promised him obedience.
Adad got the feelings which came back to the king for the first
time.
In BC 2288 years, Adad carried out open execution of Tammurs, and
dispelled the grudge of many years.
Tyamato had died of an illness in the previous year.
Therefore, she did not need to hear this sad news.
New Nippurland King Ravana was enraged to the elder brother's death.
He ordered the navy of Cizim to pursue Adad immediately.
Even if the admiral fought with Bahr squadron directly, he knew
that there was no odds.
The squadron was proud of the several times as many scale as this
from his navy.
He went into the Persian Gulf, as soon as he encountered enemy troops,
he surrendered, and he defected to the Bahrland.
Sailors sent applause for decision of the admiral, saying "I
can return to homeland."
The navy is lost, the trade route with the Persian Gulf is severed,
and the economy of New Nippurland got worse quickly.
Since the accumulation capability of the goods of this country faded,
the right of trade was also moved to other cities with the friendship
with Bahrland.
