Chapter 808: Domination of Southern Xinjiang (34) December Uprising

Although the situation in the National Assembly deteriorated due to the collapse of the expeditionary force and the surrender of Lupudong, the reformers led by Siali did not give up and united more closely.

From Siari to Gilviro, Troyes, and even Werner joined the conspiracy in their private capacity, and decided to put aside their differences and unite with the outside world.

Werner's participation in the conspiracy was not for his national interests, but first, his fate was inseparable from the National Assembly, and second, after the fall of Werner's second cabinet, his position in the League of Order was marginalized, which made Werner deeply dissatisfied.

At present, due to Werner's qualifications and status, the Alliance of Order has not completely swept him out, but marginalization is inevitable, so the very dissatisfied Werner uses his connections within the Alliance of Order to deliver news to the group of people and jump on the ship.

"The council is no longer able to save Siber, so the only way to do this is to resort to stormy means, as it had done a few years ago," was the closing remark of the secret talks, which determined the reformers' next steps.

When the reformers' counterattack had already begun, most of the nobility were still in ignorance or ecstasy, such as a retinue of Lorraine, who was satisfied that the whole situation was decided, that the National Assembly would fall, and that when that moment came, the honorable Madame Lorraine would be restored to her high position, and she could continue to enjoy the old days.

The entourage told the secrets they heard without concealment at the family banquet, for example, the reason why Lu Pudong was completely wiped out was due to Lorraine leaking secrets behind his back, and the reason why the naval fleet and those officers chose to betray the National Assembly was also because Lorraine threaded the needle behind his back.

In fact, in the boasting of this entourage, there is no doubt that Lorraine exaggerated the role of Lorraine in the process of the destruction of the expeditionary force, which has been refuted by later historians.

Excerpt from "The Ancien Régime and the Revolution"

“...... Lu Pudong's expeditionary force is thousands of miles away from Battiros, and informing Phoebe Bo of Lu Pudong's arrangements for the expedition is already the biggest secret that Lorraine can leak, and he will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, how can he know more about the expeditionary force than Kiberon, who is closer to Lu Pudong?"

"As for Lorraine's instigation of officers to rebel against Lu Pudong, this is also very debatable, and it is clear to check the resumes of those renegade officers, with the orthodox nobles being the majority, the Atona nobles to which Lorraine belonged have extremely limited influence on them, not to mention that they also have little affection for the Atona nobles. ”

The entourage doesn't care so much, and he is not the one who betrayed Lorraine, the reason why he leaked the secret is only because such an act can be used as his capital to show off to his family, showing that he has bet on the right treasure.

However, while the retinue was showing off, these words that should have been confidential were also heard by the servant who was waiting, and the servant never thought of betraying his master, and he was also very happy, thinking that after the retinue was developed, he could also ascend to heaven as a servant, so he also showed off in this way.

The retinue could show off to their families at the family banquet, and the servants could only wait until their own turn to show off in the tavern, and they also added oil and vinegar to tell the story.

The servant, who had no political sensitivity and no idea how serious his boasting was, was quickly targeted by the well-wishers in the tavern, and when the news reached Ciari's ears, he decided to use him as a breakthrough for an uprising.

Although these words are seriously distorted due to the third-hand information, mixed with the addictions of many servants themselves, they are enough for the reformers like Xiari, all they need is an excuse, and it does not matter whether it is completely accurate or not.

After getting the news, Ji Weiluo commanded his subordinates to dispatch immediately, at this time there were two military forces relied on by the reformers, one was the original Third Army Corps that was preparing to stand outside the city, and now the Reform Corps, this one is going to be decided, and it can't be moved yet, so Ji Weiluo commands the other one, the National Self-Defense Army that replaces the city defense army.

The National Guard, loyal to the reformers, had already been mobilized, and taking advantage of the darkness and high winds of the night, dragged him into an alley and beat him for interrogation on the way home.

Although this entourage is known as a nobleman, it has long been broken, and there is not much defensive magic in the family, and it is not valued by Lorraine, so under the threat of the life of his family, he can only tell Ji Weiluo what he knows, and after Ji Weiluo imprisoned them, he mainly focused on the speed of the soldiers, and marched towards the palace without even passing this night.

At this time, the palace guards had not yet reacted, and the reformers were fighting to the death, and in their consciousness, they felt that even if the National Assembly was tentacles, at most it was just inciting a mob rebellion like the previous times, so they did not expect that they would dare to invade the palace directly.

Therefore, Ji Weiluo relied on the carelessness of the surrounding defenders, and used the waist cards that had been prepared long ago to pass through the outer city walls without danger, but when he entered the inner courtyard, he finally aroused suspicion and was stopped by Lorraine's vigilant cronies.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Ji Weiluo simply went straight to the attack, and with an order, the sound of guns and cannons sounded in the palace, kicking off the prelude to the "December Uprising".

Since the Revolution, there have been many coups d'état—not more than ten so far, but they have undoubtedly made a deep impression on Lorraine, so that since the last failed escape, she has slept very lightly every night, and will wake up as soon as the wind blows, and tonight, too, with the sound of gunfire, Lorraine quickly woke up.

After waking up, Lorraine hurriedly investigated what had happened, and learned that the National Assembly had sent troops to attack the palace.

Before she even got dressed neatly, Lorraine had already woken up her family and was ready to react, on the one hand, she immediately mobilized the royal guards to organize defenses, ordering them to repel Ji Weiluo's attack on the dormitory, and on the other hand, she was ready to leave the palace and try to escape again.

Seeing this, Ji Weiluo decided to change his strategy, letting people continue to besiege the dormitory on the one hand, and searching for evidence on the other side.

Long before the uprising was launched, Ji Weiluo was repeatedly explained by Xi Erlie, and the most important thing this time was to find evidence, so as to put on a legal cloak for this uprising, and the second was to prevent Seliti III and others from escaping, after all, after they escaped, they would undoubtedly send an excellent excuse to the opponents.

In the case of not being able to capture Selliti III immediately, Ji Weiluo gave priority to the first order, and soon he succeeded in getting a lot of evidence in the study, in order to increase his own bargaining chips, Ji Weiluo also ordered the mage who had been prepared long ago to revise the notes, and forged Lorraine's documents more radically.

Then, Ji Weiluo sounded the alarm bell of the palace, which was a signal that had been arranged long ago, and the original Third Legion, which was stationed outside the city of Batiros, heard the signal and quickly passed through the gate controlled by the reformers, and entered Batiros to prepare to bomb the market to prevent a counterattack.

This is to be expected, if Ji Weiluo's attack on the palace caught everyone off guard before, then now, the nobles should also react.

But what should be done? In order to discuss this, the nobles met for a great time, which was a crucial time for the reformers.

Ciari, who had been prepared for a long time, walked to the door of the palace at this time, and took the evidence of Lorraine's treason and betrayal of the military from Ji Wei Luo - these are true evidence, as well as the correspondence between Lorraine and Kiberon, which mentioned that Batilos should be severely punished - Ji Wei Luo kindly helped, and added what kind of detailed punishment he would make, such as taking ten lives from all the inhabitants and releasing them on the island.

The sleepy-eyed populace was driven out of their homes and out into the streets, and the well-to-do citizens walked to the square in front of the kingdom, while Siari stood on the city wall as before, reading Lorraine's letters aloud.

If treason only made the masses feel a little angry, then Lorraine's words asking Kiberon to enter the city to severely punish the "Diao Min" undoubtedly ignited the anger of the entire Battyros, because of the prestige of the Parson dynasty for more than 300 years, no one dared to say that he would kill the president, but Lorraine could, so for a time the city was full of calls for "killing Lorraine".

Siali humbly said that this required the consent of the entire National Assembly, and his words caused a roaring boo, and Siari did not move in the midst of a burst of boos, saying that before the consent of the National Assembly was required, there was no doubt that the control of government affairs and all political power of the two men should be suspended first, and the boos turned into applause.

A few years after the reform began, the once glorious orthodox aristocracy was suppressed by the former speaker of the parliament, Li Xiyi, so that their power was diminished day by day, and now they have to rely on the enlightened aristocracy to survive, and the conservative liberal aristocracy and the orthodox aristocracy together are commonly known as the old aristocracy, and the power they represent in the National Assembly is the noble alliance.

There are now two main leaders of the enlightened aristocracy, one is the current cabinet chief assistant Butler, and the other is the leader of the noble alliance, Xiao Li Xiyin, and the reaction of the nobles to tonight's incident can be said to be guided by the attitude of the two of them.

After deliberation, the two decided to fight violence with violence, knowing that now that the Reform Legion has entered the city, if they don't react now, then the old nobles will be reduced to fish and meat!

"This incident is different from the previous ones, they are directly attacking His Excellency the President of the United Forces, it is an undisputed rebellion! Therefore, we must stand on the side of Seliti III to resist the rebellion!

The people that Butler is talking about here are naturally limited to the aristocracy, and Xiao Li Xi doesn't know what to do, and at this moment he deeply feels the gap between himself and his father, and if his father is still alive, he will definitely be able to give a satisfactory answer, so now it seems that he can only listen to Butler's words.

So the old aristocracy made up their minds and made a public statement, declaring that there was a rebellion against the President of the United Representatives among the members of the Assembly, so it was necessary for Butler, as the first assistant, to stand up and put down the rebellion.

After the statement was issued, the nobles sent their private soldiers out of the mansion, and before the applause of the people for Siari was over, they were disrupted by the sound of bombardment brought by the nobles' private soldiers, followed by the sound of running, wailing and firefighting, and in an instant Siber was drowned in a sea of fire.
