The root cause of the current problem lies in the fact that Ropier is unable to find a sufficient number of qualified judges to replace the existing ones, which is why the judges have no fear.

But if we think about it from another angle, why do we have to be qualified judges? Is what we are doing now exaggerating the difficulty of the matter? If we go back to the source, Ropier is not trying to purge the entire judicial profession, but to have judges to punish the criminals who violate the "General Price Limit Act".

Changing the line of thought to such a phrase would have led to a shocking speech in December, in which case Ropier made a shocking speech:

"The Revolution has made it clear to this day that there are only three kinds of people left in our country, the first is the law-abiding citizen, who is our ally and our foundation, the second is the suspect of breaking the law, and the third is the criminal who has committed treason, and it seems to me that the latter two can be completely conflated, they are but the embodiment of the enemy at different stages. ”

"Therefore, anyone who is found to have violated the law is a suspect of breaking the law, and they will all betray our cause in the future. ”

"After all, if we can't even obey the law, how can we expect to protect our Sibber? Therefore, in an emergency like this, there is no need to go into detail how this crime should be punished, because anyone who violates the law is a potential traitor, and we must nip the danger in the bud!"

The result of these statements was the passage of the Suspects Act by the National Assembly in December with 34 per cent of votes, and with the introduction of the Suspects Act, the pillars of political terror were established, and the age of terror was truly ushered in.

According to the provisions of the Suspects Act, Sibber's crimes will now be divided into two types, one is an ordinary crime, which will still be tried by the original judge, and the other will be a terrorist crime in violation of the General Price Limit Act and its related regulations, which will be referred to a specially designed national salvation judge.

The Salvation Judge is a new concept proposed by Ropier in order to break the situation, and the Salvation Judge does not need much legal knowledge, as long as he can judge whether the suspect has violated the "General Price Limit Act" and its related regulations.

In addition, Ropier also absorbed the advice of Ebak and Ji Weiluo, among others, to treat suspects with harsh methods, once the evidence of the suspect is conclusive, all normal laws can be bypassed, and the Suspects Act is used as a basis for priority treatment, and the only fate of the suspect is to be hanged.

In this way, Ropier was able to execute those suspected of violating the General Price Limit Act without having to purge the judges again and leave them unavailable.

Soon, the National Salvation Tribunal, established under the Suspects Act, was opened throughout the country, and a large number of National Salvation Judges who had set out from Batiros were soon in place, trying one suspect after another day and night.

In addition to imposing severe penalties on the old political and economic life, Ropier also began to try to sweep away the remnants of the old system and establish a new authority in the cultural sphere.

Ropier's first proposal, the Proposal to Replace the Great Calendar with a New Calendar, argued that the Great Calendar represented the remnants of the old system, and that the new era should have a new calendar, so that it would really enter the next era.

Leng Yi originally stipulated the calendar, with the day of the founding of the country as the beginning of the calendar, and then the whole world used the calendar, so the calendar is relatively stable, of course, for the locals just feel unclear So, why is our country established hundreds of years after the calendar, that far away in the sky, Su Laxi Guan I?

But now, Leng Yi doesn't care about it, what are you doing with the Great Calendar when you have to leave? In fact, the Southern Xinjiang Continent is the latest region to abolish the Great Calendar.

The Great Calendar of other continents has been abolished, the first to be abolished is the area controlled by the Angel Alliance, they take the year of the alliance with the angels, as the beginning of the second calendar, and the gods are unable to repel the angels, but also replace the Great Calendar with the Divine Calendar, so at this time only the Southern Continent still uses the Great Calendar.

Ropier's proposal was passed in the National Assembly, so that the next year would not be the year 2928 but the first year of the new calendar.

And the months have also been adjusted, for which there are very obvious traces of cold participation, he used the names of the republican months during the French Revolution as a template, and after some modifications, brought the upcoming new calendar to Siber.

In the French Republican calendar, from January to December are called the Portuguese Moon, the Fog Moon, the Frost Moon, the Snow Moon, the Rain Moon, the Wind Moon, the Bud Moon, the Flower Moon, the Pastoral Moon, the Harvest Moon, the Thermidor Moon, and the Fruit Moon.

January to March is spring, the new calendar is called the bud moon, the flower moon and the shepherd month, April to June is summer, the new calendar is called the wind moon, the rainy month and the hot moon, July to September is autumn, the new calendar is called the Portuguese month, the harvest moon and the fruit month, the October to December is winter, and the new calendar is called the fog moon, frost moon and snow moon.

Ropier's second opinion on the field of culture is the "Initiative to Replace the Old Religion with the Cult of Reason", in which Ropier argues that the worship of the gods is ultimately the worship of reason, so the old cult is abolished and replaced by a new cult, and all gods can be conceptualized as reason.

This proposal was met with many attacks in the National Assembly, but it was eventually passed, and as a result, altars everywhere were converted into temples of reason.

In this regard, the group of priests, who had cut off direct contact with the gods and had been slashed in the anti-altar law, could not stop it at all, and could only make some trivial protests, and then close their eyes and "enjoy".

In this way, the last month of the year 2928 of the Great Calendar was spent like this, and the Southern Xinjiang Continent ushered in January of the 2928 year of the Great Calendar, and for Xibo, it was the bud month of the first year of the new calendar.

In addition to the 1st year of the new calendar, the year 2928 was the 11th year of the succession of Selti III, the 447th year of the establishment of the Parson dynasty, and the 860th year of the founding of the Sib state.

In previous years, when it was the tenth day, Sib would hold lively celebrations in various places, but this year it was impossible, not only did not hold a celebration, but also held a "thrifty and thrifty campaign" under the call of Ropier, calling on all walks of life to be diligent and thrifty, and the celebration naturally could not be held.

In fact, in addition to this frugality, Ropier also tried to make "extravagance and waste" one of the criteria for suspects, but unfortunately this proposal was only approved by 2 votes in the National Salvation Committee, after all, even the leader of the clothless man kept a platoon of mistresses, how could Ropier still expect to pass?

This issue was only a minor dispute in the National Assembly, and Ropier only mentioned it, but did not really take it to heart, and the most pressing problem facing him at this time was the violent resistance of the suspects to the trial of the National Salvation Judge, and in the most serious case, he had to order the military to suppress it.

For this reason, Ropier had to issue the "Flower Moon Decree" in Kagetsu (February), officially known as the "Second Supplementary Law to the Suspects Act", ordering greater fear to deter suspects.

According to the provisions of the Flower Moon Act, anyone who shields a suspect, a local judge who refuses to hand the suspect over to the National Salvation Judge, a person who conceals and does not report it, a person who colludes with the suspect, a relative of the suspect, and a person who wanders on the edge of the law and lacks legal knowledge and does not know whether to sentence the National Salvation Judge shall be punished as a suspect.

In addition, in order to create a visual impact, after the suspect is hanged, the body is not allowed to be brought back for burial, and he must be dried on the gallows in this way, so as to deter the suspects as much as possible.

Ropier did not dictate where the gallows should be built, but a clever Salvation Judge quickly thought of the most suitable place, which was the most open city square.

When Ropier learned of this, he personally praised the judge of national salvation in the National Assembly, and within a few months this advanced experience was extended to every city with a national salvation tribunal, and the squares of these cities were without exception filled with gallows like a forest, and the shelves were hung with corpses one after another.

Excerpt from "The Ancien Régime and the Revolution"

“...... Our parents came from that era, and many old people who lived through that era are still alive today, as long as you are willing to ask them with a heart, you can get a lot of information about the horror era. ”

"According to the oral accounts of many of the people I surveyed, and even the records of the time, it is clear that the crowd was divided into two groups. ”

"One is the people who were young at the time, and their memories of the era of terror were inseparable from harsh decrees, mutual surveillance and informing, punishment, price limits, mutual retaliation, mutual accusations of suspects, and other events inseparable from political life, which filled their youth. ”

"However, the young people at the time had very different opinions, or very different memories, and what impressed them most was not the suspect's report, but the 'Forest of the Dead' – after the Enforcement of the Suspects Act, the square was aptly called the Forest of the Dead. ”

"'All sorts of corpses, decomposing, freshly hanged, hung in the air by the gallows, indiscriminately, black crows hovering in the air almost red-eyed, like heavy clouds about to rain, emitting a disgusting stench. ’”

"'When we were children, we thought that the square was a willow forest, the gallows was a willow tree, and the drooping corpse was the bud of the willow tree. ’”

"It is undeniable that the hanged were filled with many opportunistic profiteers, but because of the quality of the Salvation Judges, there were many innocents, and yet, whether guilty or not, they ended up being arrested and reduced to part of the forest of the dead. ”

"According to current statistics, Batiros, who has the most well-established mechanism of national salvation judges, hangs an average of seven people a day for suspects, and slightly fewer in other cities. ”

"Deaths of this magnitude in the past, usually on the battlefield or in the slaughter of a rout, are unknown to people in peaceful areas, and thus cause great shock and fear to the living. ”

"But no matter how the Reign of Terror was attacked, it worked, and the indices, whose real value had fallen to 50 per cent of the face value a few months ago, began to slowly recover, the currency of the National Assembly was re-trusted, the market began to stabilize, and as the rear stabilized, the front-line army could be more strongly supported. ”

The combination of economic terror represented by the "General Price Limit Decree" and the ruling terror represented by the "Suspects Act" is the "Reign of Terror" led by Ropier, and the "Age of Terror" that was once hailed by the unclothed men has truly arrived.
