Early existence

With the emergence of Sekkanyili Tomanurung '(Soppeng Riaja) and Manurunnge of Goarié (Kingdom Soppeng Rilau) is the initial phase of the peace and tranquility of the people hit by drought Soppeng since long. People's lives both kingdoms were always at ease and peaceful as the withdrawal of two twin brothers. This is not surprising, because the Kingdom Soppeng Riaja as a center of political activity capable of fostering a harmonious political relationship and kinship with the royal Soppeng Rilau.

Phase peace lasted until approximately 260 years old, which began in 1300 as the beginning of the Government of La Temmamala as Datu I in Soppeng Riaja and We Temmabubbu as Datu I in Soppeng Rilau until the conflict dispute between Datu La Mataesso Puang Lipué Patolaé by Datu La Makkarodda Latenribali respectively as Datu in Soppeng Riaja with Soppeng Rilau.

Conflict

According to notes in the manuscript Lontara said that, this conflict caused keambisian La Makkarodda for territorial dominance Soppeng Riaja. The dispute was increased to civil war. However keambisian La Makkarodda is not all his royal lilies supports the action taken La Makkarodda so that when the outbreak of civil war has caused the kingdom Soppeng Rilau defeat.
La Makkarodda as Datu Soppeng Rilau not satisfied with the defeat it. To avenge his defeat, with kekearasan heart he was forced to leave his country to seek allies or reinforcements from the neighboring kingdom.

But before leaving the country, has come from Soppeng Riaja mission to ask La Makkarodda for sudihlah would return to his country to continue holding the reins of the Datu of the Royal Soppeng Rilau. This ditempu La Mata Esso to always maintain the unity and kinship between the Kingdom and the Kingdom Soppeng Sopeng Riaja Rilau.

Good intentions La Mata Esso rejected by La Makkarodda, "Bessing Passuka, bessing Topa parewekka" (I quit because of the spear (the war) so I'll just come back with a spear (war) too). That's the answer to the mission of La Makkarodda it until he continued his journey to the Kingdom of Bone to seek fellowship and at the same time asking for help to fight the royal Soppeng Riaja. But after La Makkarodda approaching kingdom of Bone, it appears that the intention was not received with the consideration of the Kingdom of Bone: "when we support the means to extend the conflict between the kingdom Soppeng Riaja with Soppeng Rilau; besides that when we provide help the future kingdom will be the enemy of Bone Soppeng Riaja. "
Because the plan is not accepted, then the La Makkarodda decided to stay in the territory of the kingdom until one day La Bone Makkarodda We Tenripakkuwa sisters marry the King of Bone La Tenrirawe Bongkanngé.

Marriage We Tenripakkuwa La Makkarodda with implications for the opening of an opportunity in a framework of friendship ties between the kingdom with the kingdom Soppeng Bone. This is reflected in the expression of the Kingdom of Bone Kajao Lalliddong adviser, "I feel glad for the wisdom (taneng-tanengmu) that match with sister kandungmu Datu Mario (La Makkadordda). If the offspring will have the child returned to the country Soppeng, then as far as possible the bond of brotherhood between the land held by land Sopppeng Bone ".

What a great appreciation Kajao lalliddong as adviser and diplomat Kingdom is to bring together domestic Bone and Bone by country folk kingdom and people of the Kingdom of Soppeng if someday in the future.

Federation Soppeng Rilau join Soppeng Riaja
While the ongoing dispute between Datu Soppeng Riaja La Mataesso and Datu Soppeng Rilau La Makkkarodda, Whitewater Umpungeng came to Datu Soppeng Riaja. But before his meeting with La Mataesso first received by La Waniaga When Whitewater. In the initial meeting with Whitewater If it, Whitewater Umpungeng declared themselves on behalf of people switching to Soppeng Riaja Umpungeng and take shelter under the umbrella of government Soppeng Riaja Datu.

He then explained that the purpose of his arrival, to be given protection by Soppeng Riaja, because they are not willing to fellowship with people who make mistakes (ie La Makkarodda), and vowed never to betray beliaupun La Mataesso. Arrival intent Umpengeng Whitewater is then delivered by the Whitewater When the Datu Soppeng Riaja La Mataesso and beliaupun willing to accept it at the official level meeting next.

At the official level meeting between the Whitewater Umpungeng with La Mataesso, he promised, and begged to be allowed La Mataesso he would take shelter under the umbrella of power Soppeng Riaja and not treated arbitrarily. Good intent was received with great sincerity by Datu Soppeng Riaja La Mataesso, the banquet was held together by drinking wine, of which then referred the Whitewater Umpungeng to take an oath faithfully to La Mataesso, "The wine is drank, it should not come out through your mouth nor anus or penis with a hole, but let out to the side (a torn intestine) if in case I break a promise ". That is the oath of allegiance in front of La Whitewater Umpungeng Mataesso Lontara as contained in the manuscript, and immediately Umpungeng legitimate area under the umbrella of power Soppeng Riaja.

Umpungeng shift into the region Soppeng Riaja with through the political agreement as mentioned above, by itself directly bring a significant influence in the process of domestic political developments in the Kingdom Soppeng Rilau. Among them, the more weak Soppeng Rilau potential and strength, while the kingdom Soppeng Riaja become stronger. Thus finally the Kingdom Soppeng Rilau defeat.

Integration

Many times Datu Soppeng Riaja La Mataesso menempu Peace efforts by Datu Soppeng Rilau La Makkarodda. The first effort as has been pointed out above, but the effort was always rejected by hardness of heart. This refusal is based on the belief that he could defeat Soppeng Riaja later after getting help from the royal kingdom Bone Bone remembering that time in addition to the royal kingdom tentangga also a very influential and powerful enough in terms of defense. But that dream did not help received from the king and the nobles in the ToDo Bone.
By feeling very disappointed Datu La Makkarodda decided to stay in the Kingdom with the permission of King Bone Bone La Tenrirawe Bongkannge.

Then the second peace bid submitted to him to return to lead the kingdom after La Makkarodda Soppeng Rilau managed to marry the younger brother of King Bone La Tenrirawe. This rejection of peace in good faith with reason in order to maintain the occurrence of disputes and conflicts that may happen again if he still holds the reins of government in the Kingdom of Soppeng Rilau.

Perudingan peace first and second it is always offered at the initiative of Datu Soppeng Riaja La Mataesso. Why would La Mataesso always offers peace to the Datu Soppeng Rilau La Makkarodda to return governing Soppeng Rilau?. Here is reflected in how the attitude and love of Datu Sopeng Riaja who tries to maintain unity and peace between two kingdoms. Besides, he tried to avoid the occurrence of widespread and prolonged war that by involving an outside party that is the kingdom of Bone.

However, when negotiations in the next three very different happened before, because it turns out at the initiative of Datu Soppeng Rilau La Makkarodda own initiative to make peace with Soppeng Riaja. La Makkarodda sincerity to make peace with La Mataesso can be listened to from the meaning of the oath and janjinnya when meeting with Topaccaleppa Taautongennge (royal adviser) and also when he met with La Datu Mataesso. In his meeting, he swore and promised not to repeat the actions that have been passed, the intention is not good against the Kingdom Soppeng Riaja, even he also filed a petition to re-settle in the Kingdom Soppeng Territory without holding the position and the position of any kind. Regarding the matter of the royal throne in Soppeng both in Soppeng Rilau and in Soppeng Riaja he is also notice to all children for their offspring do not want them someday. But at that time suddenly Datu Soppeng Riaja La La Makkarodda Mataesso holding his hand, saying, "I exclude that if the rope tied marriage between our children and grandchildren later in life."

Furthermore, at the appointed time, bersidanglah Tribal Council, which was attended by people from Soppeng Rilau and Soppeng Riaja. From that meeting they do Mallamung Patue ceremony as a symbol of the bond of friendship treaty between La and La Mataesso Makkarodda who then planted together a dipersaksikan to the Gods Seuwae (One God) and both promised '"Those of us who broke it, then will be crushed by the stone and will not get good until the child's future offspring. "

With the completion of the third stage of the peace agreement between La Makkarodda with Lamataesso then Soppeng entering a new era, which marked the end of the royal twins in Soppeng and then become a single entity (mabbulo Peppa) under one banner of greatness, and one person as the holder of a sovereign king in check namely, the "Kingdom Soppeng".

As a result of the Tribal Council was appointed La Mataesso Puang Lipue Patolae as Datu Soppeng United (1560) and La Makkarodda Totenribali appointed pangepa '(Prime Minister) Kingdom Soppeng. After the royal Soppeng Rilau integrate with Soppeng Riaja, then the center of the kingdom centered in Laleng Castle.

Integration into the Kingdom of Soppeng Rilau Soppeng Riaja, is a process of unification of the social components of culturally diverse relationships and interwoven into one integrated and become a full determination to achieve a new identity as a unified kingdom. This means, that integration is not a konkolusi of the components of different, but also the most essential is the spirit of latent and concrete that can be manifested into a real action to achieve certain objectives, namely "peace".
