Chapter 65: Declaration of Independence
In one day, Hiss used all his strength, including those hidden in the shadows, to mobilize all of them, and freshen up the entire Seine City back and forth, killing all the voices of opposition!
In one day, the city of Seine was bleeding!
Although they killed nearly 10,000 people in one day, reducing the population of the city of Seine, it was not a bad thing for the city of Seine. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Now the city of Seine is in the midst of unprecedented unity!
The Hiss family lived in the city of Seine at the time, so the people of the city of Seine also knew who he was, and when he promised not to hurt the innocent, the city of Seine did not cause much panic.
The next day, after consulting with Locke, Hiss issued a proclamation to all the people in the city, and the city of Seine announced that it would henceforth be free from the rule of the kingdom of Holman and become a free lord.
In order not to panic the people, and in order to appease the people, Heath also discussed with Locke and attached a proclamation that the purpose of Seine City becoming a free territory was to vigorously develop commerce, not war!
The people of the whole continent knew that the development of commerce was the most profitable, but the rulers were afraid that the merchants would be afraid of their own rule, and in order to maintain some kind of balance, they always suppressed commerce and developed agriculture and handicraft manufacturing.
The Holman Kingdom is no exception, and the Holman Kingdom is more inhibited from commerce, which leads to the lower degree of commercial development of the Holman Kingdom than the surrounding countries, and naturally, the people are slightly poorer.
Now that the city of Seine has declared independence, it will develop commerce, which will give the people of Seine a lot of confidence and enable them to take up arms to fight for the protection of this free city.
Sure enough, as soon as the announcement was issued, it caused an uproar in the entire Seine City, and then, with the Seine City as the center, it began to spread to the surrounding cities, and all the way, it would affect the entire Holman Kingdom.
However, although this announcement caused an uproar in the city of Seine, it was not opposed by the people, but was unanimously supported by the people.
Not only because Hiss promised to vigorously develop commerce, but also because the people of Seine City had had enough of Holder's various decrees and had long hated this rotten country, so it was better to be more fierce and do it themselves!
Heath and Locke didn't expect the response to be so good, originally they planned to gather the people and hold a few more speeches or debates to brainwash the people, but now it seems that they are completely useless.
But they shouldn't be slack, Locke proposed to strike while the iron was hot, and since the situation was so good now, then they should do something even more.
The next day, a proclamation abolishing the high taxes of the Holman Kingdom was issued again, and that the taxes would be reduced to 60 percent in the future, which once again won the cheers of the people of the entire Seine.
And along with this announcement, there is also a conscription order!
The independence of Seine City will definitely attract Holder's attack, Hiss said in the conscription order that it was tears, if the people are not willing to unite together to resist the attack of the Holman Kingdom, then the free territory of Seine City will only be a meteor, after a short period of brilliance will fall.
Indeed, after this turmoil in Seine City, the original city guard was greatly damaged, and after Hiss was incorporated and screened, there are now only more than 1,000 people left, plus Hiss's own men, the entire Senna City army adds up to only 2,000 people!
This kind of power can only be compared to a city of the level of Karl City!
If they are to keep their free territory, they need to raise at least an army of more than 10,000 men!
Of course, this is without the help of Locke's arms and weapons, otherwise it would be impossible to compete with the army of the Holman Kingdom, and a random army of 30,000 people can wipe you out.
Although Locke did not know the specific number of troops in the Holman Kingdom, Hiss told him that it would definitely not be less than half a million, and the number of regular legions alone exceeded ten!
You know, the number of each regular army is 30,000! Coupled with some miscellaneous armies and city guards stationed in various places, the strength of the army of the Holman Kingdom is still considerable.
It's just that they are not united, and the kingdom's army is divided into different factions and fights with each other, which naturally weakens their power.
......
"The city of Seine declared independence? It must be Locke's arrival in Seine! ”
Jose looked in the direction of Seine City, such a big movement, he knew that it was definitely Locke's kid who made it!
"General Coman should have received the news as well, and will help me send a letter to General Coman later!"
As he spoke, José returned to his study and began to write a letter, saying that the independence of the city of Seine would be an opportunity, and the situation in the entire kingdom of Holman would change drastically.
And Koman and her legion had just bypassed the city of Seine and were about to enter Antok County when they got the news.
Although he has been procrastinating, the army is still about to arrive on the battlefield, and when the time comes, he will not be able to avoid a war with Jose, and they are all the troops of the Holman royal family!
Now that there is the independence of Seine City, all eyes are attracted to Seine City, and he can play Tai Chi with Jose, slowly spend it here, and wait for the opportunity for things to develop.
"It seems that Holder is really angry, and the whole kingdom will not be quiet!"
"Order, full speed ahead, and get to Karl City as soon as possible!"
Koman's Ninth Army, after leaving the national capital, marched at a real acceleration for the first time!
Locke also knew that the independence of Seine City would definitely cause a lot of chain reactions, but he didn't care about these, the more chaos the better, and the more turmoil, the better his arms and weapons would sell.
He just needs to protect Seine City, protect his base, he doesn't care about anything else, anyway, his attitude is the same as Seine City, it is neutral!
And Locke's goal is not limited to this, after some inquiry, he finally knows what the so-called Southern Alliance is.
The so-called Southern Alliance is actually the three countries located at the southernmost tip of the continent, and the actual territory of these three countries is not large, but because they are at the southernmost tip of the continent, their sea area is very large, so their naval army is very powerful.
And because the three countries often instigated their naval armies to attack the merchant ships of various countries, they were often attacked by various countries.
Because of the small land area and relatively weak army, the three countries formed an alliance to jointly resist the attacks of other countries.
He had promised Sarina that he would help her avenge her, and it was the Southern Alliance that destroyed Sarina's clan.
