Chapter 172: The Stars Rise Surasi (9) Carthusian changes hands

"In the year 1450 of the Great Calendar, I received a commission from you on the outskirts of Senama to restore the kingdom of Sulassi. After a night of deliberation, I decided to go to Carthus, where I am now located, to carry out the restoration plan. ”

When Mai Yi asked Dante about serious things, Dante sat down and answered Mai's question in a proper manner.

"In Carterus, there are two people who are my assistants. The first person I looked for, identified by the devil, was the leader of the Baate Street Slum Villains' Guild, Canne Bate. ”

"There are two reasons why I am still working with him and not abandoning him: first, he is the leader of the Carthusian underground world for twenty years, and he is very familiar with Carthus, so he is a good partner to work with. Second, Kan is a Subel man, and he can only work with me, and it is unlikely that he will get out of control. ”

"Why?" asked May.

"Because Carthusian was burned by the Subel and Gosuhi people seventy years ago, I don't think the Carthians have forgotten about it so quickly, and the ruins in the south of the city will remind them," Hearing Dante's methodical report, Mayi nodded in approval, which was a good partner to work with.

"The second person I looked for was Burley Sue Gerro Senama. Since 70 years ago, the Gerro family has monopolized the position of Karthus's general of Weijung, that is, Carthus's external army is controlled by this family. ”

"Therefore, the Gerrow family is a very suitable object, and Burley is actually very high in terms of identity and succession, but it is a pity that Burley's brain is ......"

Thinking of Burley's laughable opinions, and now that he was going to borrow this guy for power, Dante couldn't help but put some unnatural smiles on his face.

"I've heard a little," Mei Yi replied, "so what about your plan?

"With the help of the existing opposition within the Gerro tribe, and with all kinds of help, it took me four years to make Burley the new patriarch, but now the situation is not ideal, and Burley still has not been able to integrate the interior of Gero and bring the army into the hands of the family. ”

"So the first step in my current plan is to give Burley complete control of the family's basic territory, and the ownership of the Carthusian field army is very important, and it will affect the whole body. ”

"Senama won't interfere?" Maye asked.

Hearing this, Dante laughed: "Hahaha, Senama's interference would have been possible decades ago, but after the crusade of Xiuge III, Senama has lost control of the surroundings except Lierfan, and the bureaucrats sent by Senama to Carthusian are just here to mess around, and they have no real power at all." ”

"The only way Senama could interfere with Carthus, apart from verbal negotiations, was armed intervention, which would cause discontent in the other cities, so he hardly cared about the other side. ”

In 1455, the main concern of all the Carthusian nobles was the infighting of the Gerro family, which lasted for five years and was finally decided.

"I didn't expect that in the end, it was the fool Boray who won and defeated his brother. ”

"I said a long time ago, when Burley became the new patriarch of the family a year ago, the other party should have honestly handed over the position of the military camp, so that he could still have a life to support his old age, but now? The old patriarch's faction has all been sent to the frontier to tame the rude Subel people, hahaha. ”

The aristocrats' scheming is staggered with swords and swords, and it has no effect on the commoners, in the eyes of the commoners, these 5 years are no different from the past 50 years, the taxes that should be paid still have to be paid, and the damned still have to die.

"I'm an old man who has lived for more than two hundred years, and I've seen a lot of factional struggles, so it's not difficult for me to put Burley in the position of head of the family, and the most difficult thing is to put Burley in the position of Carthusian priest. ”

Hearing Dante's plan, Mei Yi blinked quietly a few times: "Are you sure you want to choose Bore? Burley cannot become a Carthusian priest by normal means, you must know that every Carthusian priest has at least twenty years of bureaucratic experience." ”

"So I didn't plan to go through normal means. Burley had been to the plebeian when he was down, and this was an advantage for Burley, and I would do a few tricks to spread Burley's popularity. ”

"I've not only been in Carthus, I've been in every area of Senama for the past four years, including the South. Now the dissatisfaction of the people is getting higher and higher, and a wave of anger is gathering, such as the problem of the city gate in Carthus, which separated the ordinary residents who entered and exited the city gate from the hawkers, and made a new city gate, but after forty years, there was not even a splash. ”

When he said this, Dante twisted his head and remembered the scene of his first visit to Carthus, the most profound impact was the light rainy day, the hawkers and himself crowded together for half a day and could not enter the city, but the noble young masters rode fast horses from the army passage directly into the city.

Dante felt that he was far from the only one who wanted to hang the nobles at that time.

"There's something wrong with Carthus, in fact, it's not just Karthus, it's the whole Goschug and Sushi, don't you notice? Everything has a tendency to evolve three hundred years ago? In a few hundred years, I'm afraid it will be the same virtue as Sulasi's last years, and no one will stop the wanton behavior of the aristocracy. ”

"The people are holding back a wave of anger, and I see this anger, and all I have to do is to burn this anger completely, and then direct the flame in the direction I want to burn. ”

"I need to set up a chamber of commerce, and as my white gloves, it's the chamber from Senama. Also, May, you want to make sure that I have a good relationship with the pastor, there are some things that need his help. ”

In 1457, a snowstorm struck Carthus, the worst snowstorm in a century, which lasted until the end of January, and most of the spring plowing was missed, and the whole city fell into a panic.

And this year's autumn was also very bad, the original Carthusian priests and a group of chambers from Senama colluded to raise food prices, slaughter civilians, and bankrupt countless middle-class families.

At this terrible time, the general of the Carthusian army, Berley, who had become famous for his life for the people in recent years, was summoned to Senama and no longer in the city because he was accused by the Carthusian priests of colluding with the mob to try to rebel.

The so-called Carthusian priestly overseer was not an official position in Carthus, but a position placed by Senama in Carthusian to monitor Carthus.

Prior to the crusade of Thuge III, the Carthusian priesthood overseer was concurrently serving as the Carthusian high priest for most of the time to ensure Senama's control over the Carthusian region. However, after the crusade of the third emperor of the Revision, the power of the Carthusian priests to supervise continued to shrink, and now it is only an ornament.

But although it was only a decoration, it was still an orthodox envoy sent by the chief priest of Senama, and it was still very powerful when the Carthusian priests oversaw it and the high priests colluded. As a result, Burley had to go to the Senama Mission.

Many of the lower classes of the people were indignant at Burley's transfer from Carthus, believing that it was because Burley was jealous of the villains for his prayer for the people's life, and that dissatisfaction with the Carthusian priestly overseers was accumulating.

"I can't go on anymore" "It's all because of the greedy priests" "When will Burley come back?" "Lord Burley has always been very protective of us people" "Yes, if Burley comes back, it will definitely make the price of food drop a little, right?" "It's so bad now, why hasn't Carthusian fallen?"

I don't know when this kind of voice began to come out of the market, and as the price of food continued to rise, these people who talked about Burley even dared to openly talk about Burley in broad daylight, and the city guards took a blind attitude to these discussions.

In September, as food prices soared further, the first riots finally took place. The immediate cause of the riots was the announcement by the Carthusian government, despite the famine, that this year's forced labor would continue.

So a group of civilians, led by Kan Bate, launched a riot against the Carthusian government.

In the end, the rebellion failed, and more than 100 civilians involved in the uprising were hanged, except for a few riot leaders such as Kan Bett, who fled. Although this revolt was suppressed, the situation in Carthusian was undoubtedly to a delicate point, and many clear-headed nobles, after they had enough, had begun to silently take a back path for themselves.

In the spring of 1458, Carthusian again clashed at the gates over the old problem of too narrow gates, this time sparked a riot due to the influence of a few months earlier.

This was followed by two more riots in February and April, and by the time of the riots in '58, the Carthusian government had no longer dared to hang the rioters like the last time, and as a result, after the three riots, the Carthusian prisons were full.

At this time, Carter began to panic, and finally announced in the bulletin that he was trying to solve Carter's problem.

In June, Carthusian finally issued the first order to try to calm the price of food, and once again to levy taxes on the inhabitants, using the tax to solve the problem of the city gates being too narrow. And, Burley, who had been in Senama for a year and a half, was said to have been invited to be an advisor and would not be returning anytime soon.

After the solution was given, the inhabitants of Carthusian gradually stopped rioting and looked forward to a solution in Carthus.

Unfortunately, in exchange for another disappointment.

The effect of the measures to calm food prices is extremely sad, at least every civilian does not feel that food is easier to buy, and what should be soaring is still rising, whether it is autumn or winter, food prices have not fallen.

As for the city gate, not to mention, the engineering team arrived at the city gate a while ago, saying that it was to reconnoiter where it was suitable to dig a new hole, and it was knocked on the table tennis for three months, and not a single hole was pried open.

In October, a mercenary finally couldn't stand the grind of the engineering team.

"Isn't it just to smash open a gate, I'll smash it!" and then with a few thuds, he led a crowd of people up and smashed the walls of Carthusian open. As a result, when the wall was smashed, it unfortunately clashed with the Carthusian city defenses, and as a result, a riot broke out again, known as the City Gate Riot.

After the incident, all the people who rioted at the city gate were arrested and put in prison, and the mercenary who led the way died the next day.

After the news of the mercenary's death broke, all those dissatisfied with Carter's status quo, led by Kan Bate, who had sneaked back to Carter, followed him into a street march and surrounded the prison.

Faced with the fierce crowd, the warden quickly relented and released the traitors who had been arrested and imprisoned for riots in the past few months.

At this time, the city defense army arrived and demanded the arrest of Kan, which soon pushed the situation into a riot.

In desperation, a violet-level powerhouse was dispatched to the city of Carthus, but the violet-level powerhouse was stopped by a passer-by who drew a knife to help him, and the rioters soon surrounded the Carthusian palace, including many strong people.

The besieged Carthusian government, while pretending to negotiate with the rebels, quickly sent envoys to demand that the garrison troops enter the city and put down the rebellion.

The Weijon army entered the city, but the leader was Bore, who had been away from Karthusk for 2 years, and Borey entered with the army strongly, invited out the original priest of Karthus, and asked the two sides to negotiate as the general of the Weijon army.

As a result of the negotiations, the former officials were responsible for the two-year spike in food prices, and until their duties were completed, all of them were suspended from their positions, and Carthusian was now temporarily replaced by Burley as chief priest.

"Stir up the price of food, let the rhythm of the cans incite riots, and at this time let Burley stay away from the whirlpool of Carthus, so that no matter how Carthusian is chaotic, Burley will always be white, and will always be the savior of all eyes. ”

His fingers drew circles on the table, as if the plan was circling in Dante's mind: "The capitalist Burley could not become a priest, so a coup d'Γ©tat was the only way, and the first fire was burned to Carthus." ”
