The conversation between the two did not involve civilians, because Alfonso and Campos had the same attitude towards them, that is, small punishments, big commandments.

These guys are either hired or simply out of boredom, and no matter what, it doesn't constitute a serious crime.

If it is the future generations, it is convenient, you can keep a file for them, and you and your children cannot join the government or anything.

But in this era, it is certainly unrealistic to keep records for civilians, and you can only deal with any problems on the spot.

In the end, after discussion by the Cabinet, it was decided to impose prison terms ranging from 7 days to 3 months for the marchers, and to pay for their own food in prison.

If you desperately want to be free, pay more fines, and get out in three days at the earliest.

Of course, specific issues are discussed on a case-by-case basis.

In the case of the agricultural company, the farmers of the subordinate farms beat up the staff and seized the land, which is too bad.

Similar incidents will lead to a formal judicial trial, which may be closed for several years.

After a few more days, the group of people with the least offense had been released from prison.

Don't look at them for only a few days, but for the poorest of the poor, a few days of not working is enough to have a very far-reaching effect, and it is impossible to say that they will have to live a life of poverty for a while.

At this time, it was exactly ten days after the first arrest.

These days, the number of arrests has swelled to 40,000, inspired by mutual reports and commutation of sentences.

Of these, 20% were nobles, and there were also a small number of clergy.

At this point, it was no longer a power struggle between the church and the king, but Alfonso's dealing with the old conservative forces whose interests had been damaged by the reforms and had gradually become different from his own.

The whole process didn't cause too many waves, and when the parliamentary proposal failed, everyone could not win this war again.

The current situation is that the nobles have no guarantee of force, and in the face of the king's cruel treatment plan, they can only silently choose to endure.

The nobles who are outside are even more unlikely to stand out for these relatives, everyone has seen how strong the royal family is, and now jumping out is pure and pure.

Those who are not the main organizers, who have only been given the same treatment as civilians, are naturally rejoicing.

But more nobles still face the fate of being forcibly stripped of their titles.

According to rough estimates, there were at least nearly 5,000 people in this part of the nobility.

With so many people arrested, the main charge was not organizing riots and marches, or even spreading rumors.

It's more that as long as it comes to it, let's say you have had a correspondence with Cardinal Perrigriner, Speaker Bustillo, etc., and the Progressive Guard has determined between the lines that you are not satisfied with the king and the government, then they will go straight to the action.

Of course, this is not convincing to the public, because it is equivalent to the Progressive Guard arresting whoever it wants.

But Alfonso had no intention of correcting them, because it was true.

Those who have assisted the free government, those who have assisted the Carlos, those who have obstructed the process of centralization, and those who have hindered economic development must all take this opportunity to give a thunderous blow, and who cares whether you participated in this incident or not.

At first, it was a vicious act of treason that shook the Bourbon rule and involved a change of dynasty.

Alfonso gently let go when he first ascended the throne and did not treat the nobles as the main target, which does not mean that he will not settle accounts after the autumn.

……

Inside the Royal Palace of Madrid,

"It's still too little." Alfonso frowned and flipped through the report that Adolf had sent.

The purges of these days even reached St. Petersburg, when the Tsar was speechless in shock, and after reacting, he exclaimed: "This is the king!" ”

But in Alfonso's opinion, it was still not enough, for no other reason, there were too many Spanish nobles, and the conservative forces were too entrenched.

These 5,000 people were only the tip of the iceberg for the opposition of the entire clergy and aristocracy.

Alfonso is sure that there are many more opponents who have not jumped out.

If they can't find out all of them this time, then at least they will be scared and dare not go against themselves again.

"Adolf, do you have any good ideas?" Alfonso turned his head to look at his henchman who was accompanying him.

Speaking of which, Adolf was really miserable by Alfonso for a while, he himself was a member of the ordinary aristocratic group, but he was pushed to the opposite side of the group by the king.

"Your Majesty, how many nobles are you going to keep?" Adolf did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, this question is a question that many people have been concerned about recently.

Alfonso shook his head and said, "I'm going to correct some of your recent thoughts, my purpose is not to keep many nobles, but to purge my opponents and potential opponents.

The purpose of this operation is to destroy all the aristocratic forces that cannot be used by me, and the reduction of the number of nobles is only a means and a by-product, not an end goal, can you understand? ”

Adolf breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Then I propose to directly implement the abolition of the autonomous region, and then restart the process of legalization of clergy that ended without a problem." ”

Adolf's simple words made Alfonso smile, as they both thought of going the same way.

To put it simply, the purpose of this is to provoke the people who will be provoked in the future.

"Very well, the Progressive Guard can't be idle during this time." Alfonso waved his hand and said, "Haven't you been complaining about the lack of manpower recently, I have allowed you to expand the number of people to the intelligence department and the field service department by 2,000, and I will mention this matter to Garcia later." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Adolf was overjoyed, not to mention that there are many people in the Progressive Guards now, but in fact, most of them are in the army to help maintain military discipline, and only a small part of them can walk outside.

For the sake of the actions in recent days, it is not an exaggeration to say that one person is broken into two people.

Although the Progressive Guards in the army can also be used for field duty in times of emergency, how can professionals come to be happy.

After sending Adolf away, Alfonso called Campos to discuss with him the rules for abolishing the autonomous region, which was a very large project that had to be prepared in advance, and Alfonso would not do it easily in a short time.

This was not the case with the legalization of the clergy, a project that Alfonso had tried to pursue, but failed in the face of resistance from Rome.

On the basis of the original, after only two days of discussion, the matter has a clear eyebrow.

Quite simply, Alfonso did not intend to adjudicate the behavior and promotions of clergy through the government, but only to regulate and monitor the behavior within the church.

In Spain today, no one knows how many donations the Church receives, how much property it owns, and how much money it generates through commercial activities such as lending.

How much money each bishop can earn depends on his own ability, which not only occupies a large amount of social resources, but also becomes a source of corruption, which is really chaotic.

Alfonso simply wanted to collect the wealth of the church and give the clergy at all levels a fixed salary, and he would not lose them.
