Chapter 283: The Collapse of the Empire (20) The celebration of the great nobleman Lul Rebellion

The veteran mutiny swept through the entire southern part of the old channel, and then there was also a mutiny in the northern area, and I was really shocked three times a day during that time.

The scale of the mutiny was so large, according to the information obtained by the spies of the General Palace, the nobles of the northern and southern districts played a lot of role in the back, and Boris and the northern passage also provided more or less support. Whether the General Assembly Palace believes it or not, I believe it, and their mutiny must have nothing to do with my policies.

Because of this rebellion, the new round of Mysica's strategy plan was completely ruined, and the Assembly Palace not only could not support more Bourbon troops on the battlefield of Maisica, but also had to withdraw some troops from the battlefield and fall back to the old channel to suppress the mutiny.

In fact, when we deployed the troops, we were also a little afraid that the troops who were transferred back would also mutiny, but fortunately, in the end, they still obeyed our dispatch honestly.

Before the arrival of the troops drawn by Maisica, after discussion in the General Palace, it was decided to attack the rebels in the northern district first, because due to the independence of Pokang, there is only one main city left in the northern district, or the main city of Kangbo, which is dilapidated due to more than 20 years of Pokang war.

Thinking that this time the counterinsurgency in the northern district would be extremely smooth, and they only needed to wait, and several councilors even joked optimistically, "There is only one main city in the northern district, and if the army can't even put down the rebellion, then they will simply hang themselves." ”

Then it was the alarm bell again.

It wasn't like the newly transferred troops simply joining the mutiny, was it? This thought flew through my mind, made me tremble, and only breathed a sigh of relief after I listened to the alarm bell tremblingly, not to join the mutiny, but not to go anywhere.

"Inform all the members of the parliament to convene an emergency meeting in the General Assembly Palace," and then, I said this sentence again with great skill, but I did not expect that such a simple counterinsurgency would go wrong.

"What went wrong this time?" asked the councillors in the General Palace.

"The damned Compo rebelled and sought refuge in Pocom, and now claims to have joined Pocom, in other words, Compo is no longer a Bourbon territory. I explained with my head down, and not surprisingly, when this passage appeared in the General Assembly Palace, most of the Parliamentarians, except for some well-informed Members, let out a cry of consternation.

"This is illegal! Pokon and we still have a 20-year armistice agreement, which was signed in 14 years, and now there should be a four-year truce!"

"But now Pokang is not at war with us, it is Kangbo himself who has taken the initiative, and this is not a truce, it is within the scope of the gods," I explained with a wry smile.

"Wait a minute, I remember, in the template of the normal truce agreement, shouldn't there be a clause that the two sides are forbidden to accept the request in the other party's main city during the truce?

I continued to smile wryly, dispelling the other party's illusions: "Theoretically, a normal peace treaty should have this clause, but when my predecessor signed the peace treaty, he thought that no Bourbon would be willing to defect to Pokang to accept the rule of the barbarians, so he deliberately deleted this clause in the "Dolomy Confession", and at that time he was still complacent, thinking that it was an insult to Pokang. ”

Hearing my explanation, I saw that some legislators had greeted my predecessor, but in fact, I also wanted to say hello, and even wanted to greet him in person, but unfortunately my predecessor is no longer there. But even though our predecessor is gone, those of us who survived still have to clean up his mess with our predecessor.

"One thing to be thankful for is that the South Side can't go to Boris, so we still have a dozen with the South End. ”

So then, we discussed the battle in the General Assembly Palace, and then sent troops to quell the mutinous rebels in the southern district.

Not surprisingly, after learning that we had withdrawn the army, Wang Xiuge led the Maisika to launch a counteroffensive against us, and the only thing to be thankful for was that this time I received the alarm bell of the Maishika counterattack, and I showed great calm, which is also the content of the alarm bell that I predicted success.

"Let the army withdraw from the reconquista, and flexibly defend Dieter and Pisa, the two most important main cities, and Bourbon will still be able to control the North Myramie Bay. "This is a military guideline decided after the study of the General Assembly Palace, but what has not been said is that the control of the southern part of the North Myramie Gulf, after all, the Diaspora Alliance has turned against the water, and the North Myramie Gulf is no longer the Bourbon "our sea".

For the remainder of 1430, Maisca regained all the lost territory we had occupied, and we returned to Pisa and Dieter once again. The war of punishment against Maisica is back to square one, and it has been in vain as if nothing has been done for the past three years.

However, I still did not end up in the state of war in Maisica, because I fantasized about waiting until the rebellion in the Old Passage was put down before launching a new attack on Maisica. However, my illusions lasted only 31 years before they were shattered, forcing me to pinch my nose and sue for peace with Mysica.

"Ruler! 100,000 urgent information! The Northern Passage has declared its independence! The officials sent by the old Passage are being expelled on a large scale!"

Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, and to make matters worse, I vomited, and the vomit contaminated the precious mats in the study.

This time, it took a very short time for the General Assembly Palace to make the decision to impose the most severe punishment on the northern shipping route, and to resolutely send troops to defend the last authority of the old shipping channel. This time it must be resolute, otherwise the other two colonies in Middle-earth and Edonan will also revolt along with the Northern Passage.

However, it was frustrating that with the rebellion of the Northern Passage, the remaining three forces in the North, although they did not follow the rebellion, reverted to their old ways, and refused to give us even a symbolic tax on the grounds that they were sunk by the fleet of the Northern Passage and could not be transported to us.

Hmph, there's no way to send us tribute taxes, but we have the strength to transport supplies to the Northern Passage for a rebellion, right?

However, before we can set out for the Northern Passage, we must also deal with the mutiny in the Southern Zone. The strength of the southern region is not as good as the real old waterway, and what is worse is that the land route borders us, so it only took one year to completely solve the mutiny in the southern area, so that we can enter the northern waterway in a big way and recover the homeland.

In order to cope with the imminent depletion of the fiscal situation again, I had to skillfully issue a new tax increase order, known as the "Fourth Tax Increase Order of Luhr VIII".

This time the tax increase is aimed at the civilians of the real Old Passage, who have enjoyed the benefits of the Republic for hundreds of years, and now it is time to contribute to the Republic, and in addition to this, the nobles of the Southern District are also covered, because it is necessary to punish them for their previous rebellion, so even the nobility is not immune.

The reason why such a harsh tax increase was necessary not only to deal with the war, but also to hold a celebration. Yes, celebrations, celebrations of the 1300th anniversary of the founding of the Bourbon.

It is really shuffling to say that this year 1432 is an auspicious year for the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Bourbon, but in the 1300th year of the founding of the country, Bourbon has fallen into this stormy appearance.

At the time of the 1200th anniversary celebration, and even more than 100 years before, Bourbon held countless grand celebrations, especially the one a hundred years ago.

I remember when I was a child, I used to listen to the elders in my family tell me about the glorious past of that celebration – even though they were only a few years old at the time, the impression left at that time has not faded to this day. I was so envious of what they said about the past, and I wished I was living at that time.

But at that time I was still rejoicing, although I couldn't catch up with the 1200 celebration, but I could catch up with the 1300 year celebration, when I was a child, I was still naΓ―ve thinking, listening to the elders say that the celebration is more brilliant than once, then I should be bigger than ever this time, and then when I am old, I can tell the juniors with a happy face about that glorious celebration, and unfortunately tell them that according to their birth age, they will not be able to meet the Bourbon founding celebration in their lifetime.

But now, my childhood dreams have become a joke, and it is impossible for Bourbon to create a more glorious celebration than 1200. But even if it can't be more than 1200 years, at least it should be held, in this dark age, it is necessary to celebrate the carnival to dispel the gloom in the hearts of the people, and by the way, to fulfill my childhood dream.

Therefore, I tried my best to make this celebration happen, and I insisted that the army should use the past celebration to suppress the rebellion of the rebels in the north, which can be regarded as compensation for them.

During the celebration, regardless of the status of the Governor, I personally arrived at the Meath Square to have fun with the people, and I was very happy to watch the projects of the celebration, looking at the flames flying all over the sky, and for a while tears almost filled my eyes, and I seemed to return to that rose-colored childhood.

At this moment, a childish sound interrupted my nostalgia, and I looked back to see that it was two aristocratic children tugging at my clothes.

The clerk next to me immediately reported the information of the two children to me: "Honorable ruler, the tall one is Felison of the Germak family, and the short one is Lul of the Naboba family, they are both 12 years old this year. ”

In other words, this Felison and my former good friend Anlu belong to the same family. Although there are many unpleasant feelings with Anlu now, I will not vent my anger on a small child, so as a 65-year-old man, I asked them kindly.

"Oh, the children of the Germak family and the Naboba family, both of these families are famous families with a long history, two children, what is the matter with coming to me?

But the child, named Felison, had a mature expression on his face that did not belong to his age: "Honorable ruling elder, I have come to advise you. ”

Although I was a little confused by his expression, I still had the mentality of an old man treating a child, and asked kindly, "Then what advice do our two lovely children have to put to me?"

At this time, the short Lull pulled Fellison's sleeve and whispered "useless", but Felison did not care about Lul's tugging, and looked at me with such a determined gaze. This kind of gaze is the kind of gaze I used to want to have, but I couldn't do it, but now this gaze actually appears on a child.

"Honorable Ruling Elder, what you are doing now is pushing Bourbon into the abyss. Today's Bourbon needs reform, and if it does not reform, it also needs an accurate strategic goal, not like the General Palace now, when it sees a rebellion, it will suppress it, which will just press the gourd and float the scoop, and the gains will outweigh the losses after all. ”

"Hahaha, what a coherent word, so what good advice can you give this little friend?" Looking at such a clear child, I couldn't help but feel a little good.

And the clerk also lost no time in adding on the side: "This Felison of the Gelmark family won the first prize in last year's study at Boris College." ”

However, the somewhat precocious child did not care about the praise of the paperwork, and after a little deliberation, he told me his plan in a mature tone.
