Chapter 292: The Collapse of the Empire (XXVIII) The instigation and coup d'état of the minor nobleman Lul

On the shore in the afternoon, ships formed a large fleet for this era, and sailed in a wide river. Although this fleet seems to be huge, if you look carefully, you can see that the fleet is seriously damaged, and there is just a diagram.

According to the custom of the fleet, most sailors should have fallen asleep by this time, but at this time, many sailors unusually gathered on the plate armor, listening to the speech of the sound transmission magic, which was transmitted directly to each fleet, which was quite an expensive move.

The fleets were brightly lit, and the angry faces of the sailors were so evident in the firelight. Naturally, the speech that is being made through the magic of sound transmission is not a sunny speech.

"It's the year 1441 in the A.D., the incompetent bastard with the same name as me, in the 27th year of the reign of King Lure VIII, and in those 27 years he has managed to make a mess of the Bourbons. Therefore, my attitude towards him has changed from strangeness to reverence, and now I hate him so much that I grit my teeth. ”

"You may not know me, I am the logistics officer Lul Gerk, 59 years old this year, from serving as a logistics officer in the Northern Fleet to now, it has been more than 30 years, and I have dedicated most of my life to Bourbon, which can be described as hard work, but what kind of bullshit treatment has I received now?"

"I remember that since the twenties, I have been assigned to the Northern Passage, and then the next intervention war against the Northern Passage, the suppression of the counterinsurgency of the Northern Passage, I have participated in all of them, and I have been in it for nearly 20 years, and I have experienced countless arduous processes, which can be described as hard work!"

"In addition to me, all the citizens present have also made countless contributions, and the corpses of those who unfortunately did not return home and remained on the land of the Northern Passage are so numerous and densely packed, and the corpses of each brave man are our contribution to the country, a sacrifice to the country. ”

"In the face of so many sacrifices, we have no regrets, no complaints, and have silently endured all the instructions given to us by the General Palace, war, war! In the 27 years of the reign of Luhr VIII, not a single day was not spent in war, and in the first 27 years, we have been silently carrying out orders and fulfilling our duties as Bourbons. ”

"And then what did Lul VIII and his companions at the General Palace give us in return? Tax Order! Second Tax Order! Three Tax Order! Four Tax Order! Five Tax Increase! And the Finance Order! Second Finance Order! The Fiscal Order that makes our country worse and worse!"

"My Gerk family is also a nobleman with a long history, although it is not as good as my main family, but more than thirty years ago, it was also a small family with three or four estates, more than forty clan members, and more than a hundred servants, and life can be regarded as not worrying about food and clothing, but do you know the current situation of our family?"

"I just received a message from my family last month that my favorite grandson had to go out to earn a living because of five tax hikes, and as a result, he had an accident and died! My grandson, a dignified nobleman, died like this! I am a nobleman, and I am also a nobleman with a name in the genealogy hall, and I have died so easily, what is the situation of the lives of ordinary people!"

[Of course, I won't say that the accident that led to the death of my grandson was caused by an accident when he was forcing debts on our family's serfs.] Although Luer VIII is a bastard, but the group of people who refuse to pay taxes are also bastards, why don't they obediently hand over food to us!

"In 38 years, we were still shedding blood and sacrificing for Luhr VIII in the Northern Passage, but Lul VIII, who was lazily sitting in the General Assembly Palace, lightly raised taxes on us in the stable rear! forced our wives and children to have a good face! cut our supply expenditures! Let our soldiers die not under the attack of the enemy, but from the lack of supplies!"

First of all, the Northern Fleet, one of the four great fleets in the past, could not be disbanded until it was within Boris, and the commander was not allowed to disband the army in advance. ”

"However, because of the second fiscal decree of the bastard of Luhr VIII, the bureaucracy of Bourbon was in disarray, and after we entered Boris, the warships could not be accommodated for the time being, so we were left to dry at the mouth of the old river. Faced with this reason, we still endured it silently, and it turned out to be the Luhr incident of the Yayihua family. ”

A few days ago, the wife of Yayihua's Luer came to him and begged him to go home quickly, because it happened to be the autumn harvest, and the family's fruit forest was in urgent need of labor, and the only two remaining males of Yayihua's Luer who were not dragged to the remnants of the army, one was a 3-year-old child, and the other was an elder in his 60s who sprained his body in the labor a few days ago. ”

"Lul of the Yayihua family was not unreasonable, he knew that the army could not be disbanded in advance, but since his plantation was only a few miles away by the river, he could go and take care of it before returning to the shore. However, military law was intolerable, and there were clashes between the law enforcement team and Luhr, as well as bloodshed. ”

"My heart aches in this conflict, there is nothing wrong with the law enforcement team, they are just doing their duty. I swear in the name of the nobles that although the Lul of the Yayihua family has violated the law, it is the evil law of Lul VIII, and it cannot be considered that the Lul of the Yayihua family is an undignified person. ”

"The Lul of the Yayihua family is just an example of what has been exposed, so can you guarantee that your home will be better than the Lul of the Yayihua family, who are silent on the fleet? Think about it, even my noble family is living so miserably, how much better can your family be? This is the reward that Lul VIII has given us troops who have fought bloodily for him for twenty years!"

"I hear people asking, even if Lul VIII had made such a decision, he was the Governor of Bourbon after all. Then I'm going to say that the evil law is illegal, and the incompetent consul is not worthy of being the consul!"

"Think about it! Continue to endure the rule of Lul VIII, you will not get any improvement! Lul VIII will repay you by sending you to one battlefield after another! When you fight on the front line for the benefit of Lul VIII's group, Lul VIII will push your relatives to a dead end through tax increases again and again!"

"There have been five tax hikes now, and soon the sixth and the seventh will come, and Luhr VIII will not stop until he drains your family's wealth, does not force your relatives into the wilderness to become savages, and does not squander your blood on the battlefield!"

"So, for the sake of the present, only for the sake of you, for your families, for the sake of the old fairway, for the sake of Bourbon, for the sake of the world as we know it, can we overthrow Luhr VIII to end all this nightmare!"

"Don't worry that you're isolated, all the Bourbons in the whole Bourbon who are suffering because of Luhr VIII are your allies! Don't worry that you're isolated, because all the reduced armies are your natural allies! Don't worry about being isolated, because many of the councillors in the Palace of the Great Palace who still have a conscience will be on your side!"

"So what is your choice?, do you continue to be a cow and a horse for Lul VIII and become a corpse on the battlefield after being squeezed out of everything, or do you overthrow Lul VIII and become a hero who saves Bourbon!"

Under my incitative demagoguery, the sailors gradually became unstable, while the law enforcement team, which was supposed to play a role, stood by and watched from the sidelines.

Then, using the thors arranged by my gang as a guide to guide the sailors, a rhythmic shout began to spread through the fleet: "Down with Lul VIII, save Bourbon, down with the Governor, save Bourbon! save Bourbon! Get rid of the villains!

"But who can lead us to purge the incompetent Luhr VIII?" the second question came from the first shout, as the first shouts had faded.

Then it was still me who arranged for Tuo to be the first to shout out: "Of course it's our commander, His Excellency Andrei, Deputy Commander of the Northern Fleet! That bullshit commander is an accomplice of Luer VIII, and there is no one at all in the past five or six years of fighting, only the honorable Excellency Andrei has accompanied us to this day!"

"Yes! Don't forget that His Excellency Andrew is the nephew of His Excellency Anlu the 'Eloquent'! ”

Then, there was no need to instigate, the sailors consciously recounted Andrei's benefits, and in the end they only merged into one name: "Andrey." ”

"Andrey!" "Andrey!"

The whole fleet was stirred up, and the scene was quite terrible, and I was horrified to see that even the surface of the water was rippled by sound waves.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, I turned around and shouted into the room.

"Commander Andrei, listen to the voice of the citizens! With the noble name of Germak, you are the nephew of the 'eloquent speaker' Anlu II, and you are still indifferent in this situation? This is not the incitement of careerists! It is the cry of the people! It is the desperate counterattack of the incompetent governor! You are not the sinner who provoked the war! You will be the savior of Bourbon!"

At the call of "all as one", my boss Andre finally walked out of the bedroom, and as soon as he came out of the bedroom, he pretended to be annoyed and said to me: "Lul, and a few of you, why did you imprison me in the first place?

God, even when most ordinary sailors can't see it and those present are insiders, Andre can not only express his voice perfectly, but also his body movements and expressions are so perfect, this level of performance, I really can't beat it.

"Citizens, I know your grievances, but this is disloyalty to the General Palace, maybe I can go and state my grievances to the General Palace alone, you better not participate, it's too dangerous. ”

I rushed in front of the others and took the lead in advising Andrei: "Your Excellency, are you still fantasizing about a peaceful solution?

Then my companions and I persuaded Andrei three more times, and in the fourth persuasion, Andrei finally pretended to be very reluctant and agreed, and to the cheers of all the sailors, Andrei gave the order.

"Attack the Great Palace!" and remove the incompetent Luhr VIII from power with a butcher's knife!"

When the dust settled and I was about to attack the Great Palace, I, who had pretended to be the most radical in front, was the first to fall silent, looking uneasily at the crowd cheering feverishly.

"Don't worry, there are many of our allies in the General Palace," as if seeing my hesitation, Andrei patted me on the shoulder and comforted, "You've done a great job this time, I mean, you've all done a great job, and I'll reward you for your loyalty when I become Archon." ”

Together with my accomplices, I thanked André and showed my loyalty—yes, this incident was the result of our prior agreement, and I, as the most basic and eloquent, was assigned the task of being the head of the demagogues.

Standing on deck in the bitter cold wind, I still felt uneasy, after all, no matter how much we glorified our actions, this was a military coup, a military coup that had not been seen in Bourbon for more than 600 years.
