Over time, the concept of "passive resistance" surged out of Battyros in a very short period of time, spread throughout the Siber homeland, and gained such a large number of supporters that if you look at the data on paper, you would almost assume that all of them are supporters of the Reform League.

This was clearly not the case, and the position of the provincial aristocracy was mostly in line with the orthodox, and there was an extreme disgust with the existence of the preparatory parliament and what he was trying to do.

But disgust is one thing, and passive resistance is another, because from July to September is the tax season of Siber, and many phases of taxation are prepared during this period, first of all, sending tax collectors to the countryside to conduct inspections, which becomes the purpose of resistance of the provincial aristocracy, and tax evasion is the most important.

After the nobles did this, soon the local merchant groups also learned from it, after all, who doesn't like to pay less taxes?

Then there were the speculators who participated in the provisional parliament, and they were soon squeezed out by all kinds of criticism from the preparatory parliament, and the Artona nobles and the already powerful parliamentarians were fine, and those who had some family backgrounds but were not very rich and noble, suddenly became the focus of the attack, and they withdrew from the parliament one after another, who could not support it.

However, the proportion of such deputies in the Provisional Parliament is still the largest, and at the current rate of loss, the Provisional Parliament may be forced to close in two or three months because of the lack of numbers.

Therefore, Lorraine had to send the city defense army to defend the councillors, and on the other hand, increase the remuneration and rewards of the councilors, and a set of combination punches to barely contain the situation.

Although Batyros is known as the crown of ten thousand cities, it is the largest city in the entire southern Xinjiang continent, but no matter how big the city is, it is just a city after all, and Lorraine can still control it, but it is different for the vast whole country, and the vast land is the economic source that supports Siber.

So when the October tax results were summed up in Battiros, the ugly financial statement left no one with a modicum of economic common sense to look good, especially led by Lorraine.

Passive resistance, while undermining the authority of the Provisional Council, was also disturbing the finances of the whole Sib, and if it had not been evident in the previous months, by October even the most ignorant commoner couples were aware of a gradual rise in prices, especially the grain on which they depended.

It was only at this time that the big men were still looking at the struggle at the top, and they drank and ate meat every day until they were full of vomit, and they did not bother to pay attention to the price of grain, which began to grow slowly but steadily, until no one could ignore it.

The embarrassment of local taxation was only the cooperation of the various forces, the focus of the struggle was still in Battyros, and the reform alliance was not just a simple passive resistance, they certainly had the initiative, and the chosen breakthrough point was the poor victim Brodul.

As the commander of the Third Army, Broduff was naturally born into the great noble family of Siber, but as he stepped into the whirlpool of Batyros, the pot was so big that even his family did not dare to accept it, not to mention that this kind of behavior was now characterized as a rebellion by Seliti III.

Therefore, after the end of the "June Uprising", Brodoff was abandoned by his family, and he was left alone to withstand the violent storm.

Brodoff did not reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, and at this time the mastermind behind the scenes was Broduff's last straw. Of course, if Selitti III had a tougher attitude, Brodulf would definitely have recruited him, but Selitti III didn't care much about who was behind the scenes.

After the end of the "June Uprising", the top brass of the Third Army was suspended and imprisoned in their mansions for investigation on charges of illegally entering the city, while the rank-and-file soldiers were also ordered to stay at the garrison and were guarded by the city defense forces and were not allowed to go out.

Brodoff speculated on his fate based on the political experience passed down from his ancestors, and the only effect of this behavior was to make Broduff's mood more and more depressed, because no matter how he speculated, his end was to be pushed out as a bargaining chip for the bigwigs to be the backstabber, in order to expose the armed repression of Batyros.

However, to Brodulf's surprise and delight, his speculation was in vain, and although they had been treated harshly at first, and had sent ambassadors down to investigate the incident, the investigation of the Third Legion was not settled as the alliance between Celiti III and the reformers began to break down.

By the time it was July, and the punishment of Brodoff and the others had not yet come down, Brodoff was overjoyed that he would not become a substitute for the dead.

In fact, as Brodoff speculated, most of the troops were soon released as their original stations, and only some of Broduff's direct clients, including Broduff, remained under house arrest, but judging from the increasingly moderate attitude of the envoys, Brodoff knew that his case had taken a turn for the better, at least in the recent past.

But luck did not always shelter Broduff, and he was caught in the storm as the Reform League chose Brodoff as a breakthrough to attack Seliti III's extraordinary provisional parliament.

After being imprisoned, Broduff's daily routine consisted of reading newspapers, which he believed could read in the papers, and this was exactly what happened.

Beginning on 22 September, some newspapers broke the news about the recent situation of the Third Army Corps, as the villain of the "June Uprising", the Third Army Corps did not suffer severe punishment, only a few officers were fined, the subsidies for the soldiers killed in the "June Uprising" were cancelled, and even most of the soldiers had returned to their original posts, while other tabloids exaggerated the treatment of Brodoff and others.

This news aroused the anger of many citizens, especially the members of the preparatory council, who were even more verbally and written, after all, if the Third Legion was not severely punished, what was the purpose of the reformers' revolt, and from what angle did they resist?

Brodoff sensed that the precursors of the storm had arrived, but he could not see Lorraine and the others, so he could only watch helplessly as things deteriorated.

By the 24th, there was all sorts of gossip, the most outrageous of which was that Celiti III was preparing to release Broduff and let him re-lead the Third Army, and then again march his army into Batiros to arrest the members of the Preparatory Council.

The Reformation League reacted swiftly, and on the 25th they gathered in front of the palace in large numbers to demand that Celiti III respond to rumors that the Third Legion had been transferred into the city.

"Of course it's false, am I a fool?" When Seliti III cowered and asked his wife Lorraine if he had concealed himself and transferred the Third Legion to Batiros to prepare for another crackdown, Lorraine did not hesitate to answer in the negative.

Hearing this, Selitti III was so pleased that he immediately ordered his servants to prepare a dress for himself, and he was to go to the city wall to explain it to the demonstrators himself, but Selitti III had not gone a few steps when the First Lady Lorraine pulled her sleeve and pulled her back.

"What the hell do you think? We don't and can't transfer the Third Legion, don't those Diao people know such a simple question? They just know it very well, but they deliberately drag it and pretend to be confused, and they are sloppy with us, ready to make a fuss about it! If you go out and explain it, you will get their way! It will only make them more excited!"

Seliti III has not touched government affairs for several years, and has long developed the habit of saying whatever his wife says, and after being pulled by his wife, he suddenly panicked, and asked aggrievedly: "But it really wasn't done by us, this misunderstanding is not explained clearly, what if it causes a bigger problem?"

"You're going to cause a bigger problem!" Lorraine said, "In my opinion, it's just that the 'passive resistance strategy' of those people can't be supported, so if you want to muddy the water and fish, we will ignore them and see how long they can be angry, listen to me, yes!"

Accompanied by the silence of the palace, the demonstrators let out more noise and roar, and Ji Weiluo was in the center of the crowd and shouted loudly, claiming that silence was the best answer, and that if the Reform League did not take any strong action, the reform cause would be overturned.

As a result, many of the agitated masses ran to the garrison of the Third Legion, surrounded them with insults and threw weapons, and as time went by, the siege of the Third Army became more and more excessive, and on the 26th a soldier who could not bear it could bear it returned fire, completely breaking the tense balance.

"The repression has begun! we must fight back" After making this declaration, the Reform League staged a second armed uprising in Batiros, the "September Uprising".

As last time, some of the militia units of the Reform Alliance held the barricades as the last bastion, while the other part went to the arsenal under the leadership of Ji Weiluo to attack.

Unlike the June crackdown, the last time was in the middle of the night, when everyone was blinded by Broduff's armed crackdown and was in a state of panic, but the "September Uprising" took place during the day, and both the royal guards and the city defense army could respond quickly.

"You—Didn't you say that if you left it alone, they would disperse on their own?why—why did they still fight?what should they do??will they enter the palace?" Celiti III was already completely panicked, and he tugged at Lorraine's wide sleeve, as if seeking some comfort from the familiar warmth.

Lorraine was shaken impatiently, and almost wanted to scold back, but seeing the flustered demeanor of Celiti III, Lorraine finally relented, after all, this is her own little husband, so she stood up and comforted Celiti III, let him sit down first, and Lorraine took advantage of this gap to think of a way.

And Lorraine also knew that no matter what method was taken, he had to make a decision as soon as possible, because although Batyros was known as the crown of ten thousand cities, he was only a city after all, and if he didn't make a decision as soon as possible, it would be too late for the traitors to take control of the arsenal.
