MTL - God’s Game I Am the Great Will of the Planet-Chapter 792 : Domination of Southern Xinjiang (18) September Uprising
With the passage of time, the concept of "passive resistance" poured out of Batiros in a very short period of time, spread to all parts of Shibo, and won a considerable number of supporters, so that if you only look at the paper data, Almost thought that the entire department was a supporter of the Reform Alliance.
This is obviously not the case. Most of the provincial nobles are in line with the orthodox faction, and they are extremely disgusted with the existence of the Preparatory Parliament and what he is trying to do.
But disgust is one thing, and whether to hold passive resistance is another thing, because from July to September is the tax season of Shibo, and many stages of taxation are prepared during this period. The first is to send tax collectors to the countryside. To carry out audits, this became the purpose of resistance of the nobles in other provinces, and tax evasion was the most important.
After the nobles did this, the local business groups soon followed suit. After all, they paid less tax. Who doesn't like it? So in an instant, the heads of the preparations for the parliament received one cauldron after another.
Then there are those speculators who participated in the provisional parliament, and they were soon crowded out by various criticisms of the preparations for the parliament. The Atonaite nobles and the already powerful parliamentarians were fine, but those who were not wealthy and wealthy. Immediately they became the key target of blows, and they all withdrew from the parliament after they couldn't support it.
However, the proportion of such members in the provisional council is still the largest. According to the current rate of loss, the provisional council may be forced to close in two or three months due to insufficient number of members.
Therefore, Lorraine had to send the city defense army to defend the parliamentarians, and at the same time increased the salary and rewards of the parliamentarians. After a set of combined punches, the situation was barely contained.
Although Batiros is called the crown of ten thousand cities, it is the largest city in the entire Southern Border Continent, but no matter how big the city is, it is only a city after all. It's different, and the vast country is the source of the economy that supports Xibo.
So when the October tax results were summed up to Batiros, the ugly financial statement made anyone with a little economic common sense look bad, especially Lorraine as the head.
Passive resistance, while undermining the authority of the Provisional Council, is also disrupting the finances of the entire Shibo. If it was not obvious in the previous few months, by October, even the most ignorant commoner couples would have noticed that prices were rising. Gradually rise, especially the grains on which they depend.
It's just at this time that the bigwigs are still focusing on the top-level struggle. They drink and eat meat every day until they are full to vomit, and they have no time to care about the slow but steady increase in grain prices until everyone can't ignore it. grain prices.
The embarrassment of local taxation is only due to the cooperation of all parties. The focus of the struggle is still in Batiros. The reform alliance is not just passive resistance. Of course, they have taken the initiative to attack, and the selected breakthrough point, The poor victim Brodoff.
Brodoff, the general of the Third Legion, was naturally born into the great noble family of Shibo, but as he stepped into the whirlpool of Batyros, the pot was too big, and even his family dared not Not to mention that this kind of behavior is now classified as a crime by Celiti III.
Therefore, after the "June Uprising" ended, Brodoff was abandoned by his family and had to endure the violent storm alone.
Brodoff did not reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. At this time, the mastermind behind the scenes was Brodoff's last straw. Of course, if Celiti III had a tougher attitude, Brodoff would definitely take action, but Celiti III didn't care too much about who the mastermind was.
After the end of the "June Uprising", the senior officers of the Third Corps were suspended and imprisoned in the mansion for investigation on the charge of illegally entering the city, and the grassroots soldiers were also ordered to stay in the station and were guarded by the city defense army and were not allowed to go out. This kind of treatment made them Panic and dissatisfied, they were obviously just following the military orders.
Brodoff speculates on his own destiny based on the political experience handed down by his grandparents. The only effect of this behavior is to make Brodoff feel more depressed, because no matter how he speculates, his ending is a bargaining chip for the bigwigs to compromise. He was pushed out to be a scapegoat in order to expose the Batiros armed crackdown.
However, Brodoff was surprised and delighted that his guess was in vain. Although they were treated harshly in the early stage, and they had sent an ambassador to investigate the incident, with Celiti III and the reformed The alliance of the fighters began to break down, and the investigation of the Third Legion came to nothing.
By the time it entered July, Brodoff and the others had not yet been punished, and Brodoff was overjoyed that he would not become a scapegoat.
The fact is also the same as Brodoff's latest guess. Soon most of the troops were released as their original garrison, and only some of the direct parties, including Brodoff, continued to be under house arrest, but from the more moderate attitude of the envoys , Brodoff knew that his case had ushered in a turning point, at least for a while.
But luck didn't always shelter Brodoff, and he was caught up in the storm again as the Reform League singled out Brodoff as a breach against Seliti III and the Provisional Council.
After being imprisoned, Brodoff's daily routine was reading newspapers, and he believed that he could read clues about the policy from the newspapers, which was the case.
Since September 22, some newspapers broke the news about the current situation of the Third Army. As the villain of the "June Uprising", the Third Army was not severely punished. Only a few officers were fined, and the "June Uprising" was cancelled. Subsidies for dead soldiers and even most of the soldiers have returned to their original posts, and other tabloids exaggerated the treatment of Brodoff and others.
These news have aroused the anger of many citizens, especially the members of the parliament who are preparing to criticize them. After all, if the Third Legion is not severely punished, what is the purpose of the reformers' resistance? From what angle did they stand against it?
Brodoff sensed that the omen of the storm had arrived, but he couldn't see Lorraine and the others, so he could only helplessly watch things worsen little by little.
On the 24th, there were all kinds of gossip, the most outrageous of which was that Seliti III was going to release Brodoff, let him lead the Third Army again, and then drive the army into Batyros again. , armed arrests of members of the parliamentary preparations.
The Reform Alliance responded very quickly. On the 25th, they gathered in front of the palace in large numbers and asked Celiti III to respond to the rumors that the Third Army had been transferred to the city.
"Of course it's fake, am I a fool?" When Celiti III timidly asked his wife Lorraine, did he hide the truth from himself and transferred the Third Army into Batiros, ready to suppress it again , Lorraine did not hesitate to answer in the negative.
Hearing this answer, Celiti III was very happy. He immediately ordered his servants to prepare a dress for himself. He would go to the city wall and explain it to the demonstrators in person, but Celiti III had not walked a few steps before being caught by the First Lady Luo. Lin Yu grabbed his sleeve and pulled it back immediately.
"What the **** are you thinking? We don't have and can't transfer the Third Army. Don't the gangsters know about such a simple question? They are very clear, but they deliberately pretend to be confused, and they are sloppy with us. It's a mess! You have to go out and explain it to them! It will only make them more excited!"
Seliti III has not been involved in government affairs for several years, and has long developed the habit of what his wife says is what she says. If you don't explain it clearly, what if it causes bigger problems?"
"If you go, it will cause more problems!" Lorraine said, "In my opinion, it is the 'passive resistance strategy' of the group of unscrupulous people who can't support it, so if we want to muddy the water to fish, we will Ignore them and see how long they can be arrogant, listen to me, that's right!"
Along with the silent palace, the demonstrators made more noises and roars. Ji Weiluo was in the center of the crowd and shouted loudly, claiming that silence is the best answer. about to be subverted.
As a result, many enthusiastic crowds ran to the station of the Third Army ~ www.novelbuddy.com~ surrounded them to abuse and throw weapons. As time went on, the siege of the Third Army became more and more excessive. The soldiers returned fire, completely breaking the tight balance.
"The repression has begun! We must fight back." After the Reform Alliance issued such a declaration, it carried out an armed uprising in Batiros for the second time, which was the "September Uprising".
The militia forces of the Reform Alliance were the same as last time, some of them stick to the barricade as the last fortress, and the other part went to the arsenal to attack under the leadership of Ji Weiluo.
Unlike the repression in June, the last time was in the middle of the night. Everyone was beaten by Brodoff's armed repression and was in a state of panic, but the "September Uprising" occurred during the day. The army or the city defense army can respond quickly.
"You, didn't you say that as long as you ignore them, they will disperse on their own? Why, why are they fighting? What should I do? Will they enter the palace?" Seliti III was completely panicked, He pulled Lorraine's wide sleeves, as if to seek some comfort from the familiar warmth.
Lorraine was shaken impatiently, and almost wanted to scold him back, but seeing Seliti III's flustered expression, Lorraine finally softened. After all, this is her kissing little husband, so she stood up to comfort her. Celiti III, let him sit down and talk about it, while Lorraine took advantage of this gap to think of a way.
And Lorraine also knows that no matter what method he takes, he must make a decision as soon as possible, because although Batiros is known as the crown of ten thousand cities, he is only a city after all, if he does not make a decision as soon as possible, wait After the traitor took control of the arsenal, it was too late.
