If you ask the textile guild master Arabi to choose the most hated place, then it is undoubtedly Dima, who was originally born in a relatively wealthy citizen family in Urdoch, and will end up in this situation, no matter how you think about it, it is Dima's fault!

So when Urdoci finally presides over justice in 2440, Arabi is elated, but at this time Arabi is already old, and he has long been a wealthy citizen, so he can only explain his son Mpno in a hateful tone, and after joining the army, he will work hard and will destroy Dima, the sin city.

"In the past, I was a respected master of the Textile Guild! Although I was not the top master who sewed clothes for the nobles, I was a master of weaving clothes for the wealthy merchants, and my family was considered wealthy, but until the invasion of Di Ma Yi, our family was reduced to this point!"

"I'm a master! Now I'm doing what I used to be a lowly apprentice, receiving a salary from Weibo, and I can't even afford to pay for the maintenance of the original house, so I can only move out of there to this cramped and damp hut now, where the family is crammed in, it's all Dima's fault!"

In short, with Arabi's encouragement, Empno was full of hatred for Dima, and was drafted into the army with dry rations, becoming a member of the low-quality peasant army in the mouth of Amis, the commander of the Gucci army.

The next year 2440 was a hectic year, and the deepest impression of that year was the never-ending sound of horses' hooves, which always roared from the window.

In 2441, the whole year of operation failed to defeat Dima, although Alabi regretted but not surprised, no matter how to say that Dima is also the most prosperous city of Siber, but he is only a city after all, how can he stop the siege of the other 7 cities? Not to mention that Siber is still guarded by Fei Argon behind him!

"Wait and see, it's just a temporary failure, Dima will be able to be brilliant for a few years, and next year, we will raise more troops to destroy that evil city!"

Arabi's gnashing of his teeth caused a wild cry from his peers in the room, all of whom were abandoned masters of the textile guild and had the same hatred for Dima as Arabi.

In 2442, as Arabi said at the end, Urdoch called up more troops, of course, Arabi, who was already old arms and legs, was still not recruited, looking at the vast army, Arabi, the outcasts who were unemployed because of Dima, sent them the most fanatical blessings.

Then, the army successfully besieged the city, and according to the estimation of this era, Dima would fall in less than 3 years under the siege of such a large army.

"As soon as Dima falls, a large amount of Dima goods will be sent to Urdoci as trophies, and we will each have free bread for a few days!" Arabi was already imagining the beauty of Dima to his friends, "and then, the machines of sin will be destroyed, and we will be restored to our rightful place!"

It's just that the failure of the bloody onslaught in 2443 poured cold water on the fanatics of Arabi, although the military did not specifically notify the people, but many routs wandered around and looted, and finally revealed the news of the failure of Dima's siege, which caused a little unease.

Only Arabi is still fanatical, because this is his only spiritual pillar at this time: "Don't worry! No matter how much Di Ma can fight, there are only one city, and we have seven! We have won! Di Ma is just surviving!"

At every meeting, Arabi had to say this to his companions to strengthen their faith, and so they began in 2443, 2444, 2445, 2446, 2447, and 2448, until in 2449, when the faith of Arabi's companions collapsed completely.

The siege was not the only means of attacking the military, in fact the navy was another magic weapon for the military to win a rough victory, and the news of the restoration (and more accurately built) of the seaport of Love had been heavily publicized by the military since several years ago, as the last source of confidence for the citizens to support the war.

After all, although the news of the military blockade has caused the people to not know much about the siege of the city, but through the rout of those who fled back, the army surrounding Dima is becoming less and less, and the main general Amis is retreating a large number of siege troops to the rear to disperse the logistical pressure on the siege of Dima.

As the besieging army became weaker and weaker, the navy became the last hope, and even Arabi knew through the troubadours he had heard that if the harbor of Dima was not cut off, Dima would be able to obtain supplies from the bay of Batiros, so that it would really be sieged until he was old.

According to Amis's design, the navy that Love had managed to assemble should be used to attack Dima's transport ships and avoid a head-to-head confrontation with Dima, which was actually done by Amis in 2447, and this strategy put a lot of pressure on Dima.

However, this pressure was only pressure in 2447, at least on the surface, it was not obvious how much Dima had lost, and Dima was still vigorously repelling attacks again and again in the siege, so Uldoch couldn't help it, or Fiargon couldn't help it, and began to urge Amis to quickly annihilate Dima Navy and control the sea in Battiros Bay.

Amis did not have much confidence in his strategy itself, and under the pressure of Fiargon, Amis had no choice but to change course, and in 2448, he ordered the Lov fleet to find the main force of Dima's fleet for a decisive battle.

This time, Dima, who had been suffering from the attack and harassment operations, finally came to his senses, and cooperated with many Sydney merchant ships flying the flag of Dima city, entangled the main force of Love's fleet, and almost completely annihilated the Lov fleet through two naval battles, defending Dima's sea dominance over Batiros Bay.

The almost total destruction of the Lov fleet actually did not have a great impact on the overall national strength of Siber, after all, the strength of the Lov Navy was originally very small, but the important thing was not how much the Lov Navy had, but the total destruction of the Lov Navy, which completely shattered the expectations of the Siber people, and then collapsed.

Excerpt from "The New Concise History of Siber"——

“...... The traditional view in modern times is that the turning point of the "Siege of Dima" in the "Third Siber War" was the victory and defeat of the two naval battles of Batiros Bay in 2448, and the total destruction of the Lov navy became the first step towards the decline of Philippine argon, and the urgent urging of Philippine argon in this defeat has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"Even later, after Siber unified the southern Xinjiang mainland, the "Sibo Canon" compiled for the whole of southern Xinjiang bluntly said, 'Amis's attack tactics have caused serious trouble to Dima, and Boligu can't imagine how long Dima will be able to hold out if this tactic continues', which is the final word for this success or failure, and has become the mainstream view for a long time. ”

"However, with the development of new historiography, the addition of many letters of people of the time has brought us a new perspective today, breaking with the previous dominant view, that is, 'Did they not know that it would be very risky for Figon to force Amis to order the Lof fleet to fight the Duma fleet?'"

"In the past, the mainstream theory was that they didn't know, and they thought that the reason why the Philippines was urging the decisive battle was just that they felt that it would lose face to be entangled with a small state for so long, so they asked Amis to end the war as soon as possible, but with the discovery of a series of letters and edicts, this view changed. ”

"For example, in the letter written by the Minister of Finance Garibaldi to the then Governor of the Philippines, Pichem II, Garibaldi clearly stated: 'If the war is not ended quickly, Sib may not be able to bear to speak', and many other letters that have been found indicate that the Philippines had already formed a similar view. ”

Therefore, Fei Argon urged Amis to fight a decisive battle immediately, not because of the pride of a great power, but because he found that Siber was in danger of an economic crisis. ”

This also shows the wisdom of the ancients, who, despite their lack of mature knowledge of the economic system, were able to use their past experience to foresee what was about to happen and try to make amends, although the defeat at the Battle of Batiros Bay not only failed to make amends, but hastened the outbreak of the crisis. ”

“...... Dima was the first industrialized city in the world, and in the course of more than ten years of industrialization, it absorbed a lot of currency from the surrounding cities, and before the outbreak of war, it barely maintained its balance by virtue of economic exchange, and when the war broke out, it finally triggered a full-scale crisis in 2448. ”

is running out of money, not that Arabi has no money, with a good craft, although the value is not as good as before, even if the standard of living has fallen to the level of civilians, but it is not enough to become a destitute pauper, what Arabi said at this time is that there is no money, he means that there is no currency.

In fact, Arabi had a vague feeling about the lack of money a few years ago, so the prices in the city were getting lower and lower, and they were getting lower and lower, and they were strangely getting lower and lower, but it wasn't until this year (2448) that the news of the naval battle in Batiros Bay reached Urdocia, and the situation was completely out of control.

On this day, Arabi went to work in the workshop, but when he arrived at the door of the workshop, he found that the textile workers had blocked the place densely, and from a distance it seemed that they were scolding the workshop owner.

"The bank is short of money, so it is now laying off employees, and those on the white list are all self-fending, and those on the red list can continue to work in the workshop if they are willing to reduce their salaries," said the supervisor's thick voice.

Arabi squeezed over to look at it, and found that there was his name on the list, and his head suddenly exploded, until a red light appeared, and he barely eased up, fortunately, as long as he was willing to accept the reduced salary, he could continue to work, but it was no wonder, no matter how he said that he was a master before.

Arabi was glad, but the textile workers who were listed on the white list scolded their mothers, and surrounded the supervisor to ask the other party to give an explanation, and when he saw that the underground was too noisy, the supervisor reluctantly explained: "This, there is a shortage of silver, there is no silver, so there is no salary to pay." ”

"If we don't get paid, we can put the fabric we sew in silver!" shouted a textile worker.

As a result, the director's eyes widened, and his neck was thick, and he roared: "Then how can you do it! Don't you have a clue about how low the market price of cloth is recently? Wouldn't it be a loss to give your owner just like this! But don't panic if you are invited out, our owner is also merciful, if you don't settle down for a while, go to Wei Luode, he is a friend of our owner, and when he lends money, he will."

The supervisor's head was smashed by a stone thrown by a worker, and in fact from the moment the word lending appeared, the crowd was in a boil, and the workers who had made up their minds to accept the reduction in wages, such as Arabi, and the timid ones who did not dare to make trouble, who had long been silent, and who were still blocking the doorway, were all angry young and strong people.

What followed was a bloody conflict.
