The Ruler of Laughter was the last high-ranking professional Maupassant left behind to suppress, and after his death, there was no longer a presence in the city of Rees that could withstand the infantry of the French line.

Wang Ziming's military order was naturally also carried out at the highest level.

In the process of suppressing the riots, Maupassant also issued a gun ban according to Wang Ziming's wishes (mainly to snatch as many Longzheng rifles as possible), and the French line infantry, also known as the blue coats in the mouth of the citizens of Reese, would only give them a small amount of federal banknotes, and forcibly take all Longzheng rifles and ammunition from them!

Even the most basic black powder will be removed!

This began with the overwhelming dominance of the French Infantry in the city of Rees, and the large number of troops allowed the French Infantry to suppress the riots while going door to door to loot for weapons and ammunition.

The reason given by the Blue Coats is that their safety is their responsibility from now on, and in order to ensure the safety of the market, no one is allowed to possess gunpowder weapons or even gunpowder!

Not surprisingly, this act drew a resentment from the citizens of Reese City, and made the chaos even more intense.

The citizens of Reese City were either adventurers or mercenaries, or armed farmers who were fooled, and they were still fundamentally different from the Shunmin of the Federation, so they were naturally unwilling to be purchased at a low price for self-defense weapons.

What's more, these blue coats do not recognize the purchasing power of federal paper money at all, but they are using federal paper money to force their weapons and ammunition!

Who would dare to endure such an unfair thing?

Although the state apparatus has never been fair to the common people, what the Blue Coats have done is too blatant!

In addition, the civilians in the colonial area themselves have a fine tradition of armed fighting, and there are naturally not a few people who resist.

As a result, Wang Ziming was very pleased to find that the rate of decline of the French line infantry that suppressed the city of Rees began to accelerate again!

In the city that had already been occupied, clashes broke out again because of the mandatory gun ban of the French line infantry, and a large number of men, women and even children took out all kinds of weapons treasured by their ancestors and shot black guns at the French line infantry who came to knock on the door!

Of course, Maupassant's order was also very firm, and all those who resisted, whether men, women, or children, would be killed on the spot!

They don't need prisoners of war and wounded!

This order polarized the armed citizens of Reis, one side flinched, turned himself in, and honestly had his last bullet taken from the French infantry......

The other side has no way out, and as long as the first shot is fired, they will fight to the death, because even surrender is death!

Obviously, this order has exacerbated the contradictions between the two sides.

For the conquerors, such an order to exacerbate the conflict and leave no prisoners unwise, as it would increase the number of casualties of their own army in the process of suppression, and the gains outweighed the losses.

But for Wang Ziming, this order made him raise his evaluation of Maupassant again in his heart!

This commander is right, and he has won my heart!

As the number of infantry casualties on the French Front skyrocketed, the city of Reese became cleaner and cleaner, leaving behind basically ordinary people who were undignified and willing to kneel and lick the blue-shirted army......

Among them is the Axe Gang and their female boss, Angela.

Not only did the Axes hand over a large amount of weapons and ammunition, Angela also had a personal negotiation with Maupassant, and the Axes became the chief leader of the Blue Coats in control of Reese City.

With the leadership of this group of local snakes, the French line infantry suppressed the city of Rees like a fish in water, and the efficiency was more than doubled!

With the help of the Axe Gang, on January 30, 1888, Maupassant officially declared that all 'rebels' in the city of Rees had been purged.

The population of Reece fell by two-thirds at once......

This is still just a calculation of the permanent population, after all, the permanent population has a fixed residence, which is easy to calculate, and the floating population cannot be counted at all......

However, the floating population, which is either businessmen or armed men, has suffered the hardest in this crackdown and has been largely wiped out.

All the shops on the street that were linked to food were looted, and the rest closed their doors for fear of encountering bandits......

The market is in shambles!

As a result, the permanent population of Reece has dropped to more than 7,000 people, and the garrison has exceeded 100,000, not counting the garrisons outside the city......

However, the battle in the downtown area of Rees City ended, but the battle for the port continued, and after the French line infantry paid tens of thousands of men to seize the port from under the guns of the Union warships, the Union warships were still unwilling to come to the occasional shelling.

Since the forts in the port were destroyed by the retreating Union soldiers, the French line infantry who occupied the port could only be beaten passively, and finally had to temporarily evacuate the port building.

But as soon as the men on board the warship landed, the French line infantry attacked, and the Confederate warships did not dare to continue their attempts to seize the port of Reese after more than four figures of casualties......

And the Marines who were originally stationed in the port of Rees City have long been wiped out in the previous repeated battles!

It also included a portion of the Marines who had arrived from the city of Porto.

Otherwise, even if the capture of a small port was constantly bombarded by naval artillery, the French infantry would not have suffered tens of thousands of casualties......

On the afternoon of the 30th, the federal flag could no longer be seen flying on all land, including the port, and both the local forces of Reese City and the federal government had been completely erased.

Precious metals from the banks in Reece were kept by the Azzurri, and unused federal banknotes were used to buy supplies from the residents and remnants of Rees.

Although Wang Ziming did not allow federal banknotes to circulate in the occupied areas, due to the very good monetary reputation of the Purple Dragon Federation, people in the occupied areas were still willing to trade with paper money in private.

Of course, for Wang Ziming's army, paper money can only be spent and never recovered.

The city government and officials at all levels of Reece City were swept away, Dong Chengfu, the steward of the Yuwen family who was sad for Wang Ziming, was shot in public, and Hong Kaiyu, Yuwen Qinghan's personal bodyguard 4th order swordsman, was killed in battle.

Liu Tianhe, the head of the military recruitment department of Rees City, who had accepted bribes from the Yuwen family to trap Wang Ziming, failed to grab a ferry ticket when the city was broken, and committed suicide by swallowing a gun at home.

Hu Yuankai, the captain of the garrison team that captured Wang Ziming when he first crossed, was killed in the street battle, and Captain Shi Yuan, a henchman of the Yuwen family, died in the battle of the Yuwen family's ancestral home......

However, at this time, Wang Ziming no longer paid attention to the fate of these little people, and he was checking the gains and losses of the Battle of Reese City at this time.
