Chapter 299: Declaration of Independence
readx;
Because the parasites of brain-eating worms still need time to grow, Lu Yi does not plan to start a war with the royal family within half a year, and even if there is a war, he will not use the necromantic army, at least not the vampire army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, for the time being, even if you want to confront the royal family, it is impossible for a war to break out immediately, for this, Lu Yi is still confident and sure, the intelligence work of the three Amy sisters has been very good, the dynamics of the royal family and the surrounding kingdoms are in their hands at any time, once someone tries to start a war against the Lu Yi Kingdom, then Lu Yi will know the news at least half a year in advance.
Now, the idea of the royal family is still very simple, that is, to use the governing power granted by the Holy See to forcibly confiscate the royal city of the Lu Yi Kingdom, and then demote Lu Yi to a duke, and just set aside a relatively wealthy territory for him, so that even if the Holy See investigates it, they have something to say, who let Lu Yi not pay taxes?
The royal family represents the Holy See and governs mankind, so the royal family does not think that anyone dares to disobey the imperial order, at least this kind of thing has not happened before, and those who disobey the imperial order are small forces or individuals, at the grassroots level of the powerful, everyone supports the Holy See and the royal family, and no one dares to confront it.
Sure enough, the royal family soon sent an envoy and issued an imperial order to Lu Yi, within three months, if Lu Yi could not pay the full amount of taxes, then he would be deprived of the title of prince, and Lu Yi's royal city would also be confiscated and used as taxes.
Three months later, if the taxes of the Luyi Kingdom have not reached the royal family's account, then three months later, the royal family will send someone to take over the Luyi Kingdom!
After the imperial order was issued, the envoy quickly left, and in the face of this, Lu Yi did not dwell on it much, but only stepped up training and preparations, especially the construction of the dungeon, and made every effort to speed up! Once the war started, the dungeon would become the rear and the last fortress.
Three months passed in a flash, and just when the royal family did not receive the tax as desired and was about to send a management team to receive the Luyi Kingdom, a sudden news made the entire royal family completely fall into chaos.
Through tens of thousands of merchant ships and tens of thousands of supermarkets distributed around the world, Lu Yi issued an announcement to the outside world, due to the inability to accept the royal family's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the Lu Yi Kingdom announced that it would break away from the royal administration and become the Dominion of Reading Power, and pay taxes directly to the Holy See!
It's a very scary word, you know...... The royal family represents the Holy See and governs all mankind, and it is announced that Reading Power is not only out of the governance of the royal family, but also out of the jurisdiction of the Holy See!
However, Lu Yi was forced to do this, and the announcement clearly listed the tax rate set by the royal family for the Lu Yi Kingdom, which was outrageously high, simply appalling!
The Kingdom of Luyi is a super small country that has just been established, and now it has only 10,000 official residents, not many of them, and no less than one, but these 10,000 people have to pay 200 trillion taxes every year! A family has to pay 200 million taxes a year, which is too exaggerated! Where is this tax, this collection is simply fate!
With the notices posted by tens of thousands of supermarkets around the world at the same time, everyone in the world knew the news at the same time, and everyone felt terrible, too terrifying.
In the face of Lu Yi's announcement, the royal family was immediately dumbfounded, and after panicking for a while, the royal family immediately began to refute the rumors, saying that the tax rate was not so high, and the Lu Yi Kingdom was lying.
However, the royal family's refutation of the rumors was quickly broken, and too many businessmen can prove that the taxes of the Luyi Kingdom are so high and so perverted, especially the super rich merchants, who have seen the tax notices and tax regulations issued by the royal family with their own eyes.
After the first announcement was issued, Lu Yi immediately issued the second announcement, affirming that the Kingdom of Lu was officially dissolved, and the newly established Dominion was taken over by Grand Duke Hana, and Lu Yi relinquished all his positions and titles and became a commoner again.
The so-called Dominion is not a state, not even a principality, at most it can only be regarded as an organization, at least it must be established by a grand duke, covering an area of thousands of miles, and ...... This range is not allowed within the confines of any kingdom!
To put it simply, the territory established by the Grand Duke is called a Dominion, which is directly administered by the Holy See, and only needs to pay the tax of the Holy See, and the tax of the Holy See is actually a poll tax charged by the head.
The reason why there is a category of Dominions is actually that the Holy See has added new cities outside the territories of the kingdoms in order to encourage everyone to open up new territories, and the city of Luis now fully meets all the requirements.
With the issuance of the second announcement, the whole world understood what it was, the Kingdom of Luyi was dissolved, but the Dominion of Luyi was established, and the lord was replaced by Grand Duke Hana!
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, the royal family was very annoyed, not only did they not get the expected benefits, but even the benefits they deserved were gone.
But there is no way to do it, Lu Yi's princely title was deprived by the royal family himself, and after being deprived of the prince's title, he didn't even have time to give the title of the grand duke, and Lu Yi temporarily became a white body and a commoner.
Originally, when Lu Yi was a nobleman, he could use this as a threat, and even use the terms of the nobility to persecute Lu Yi, but now that Lu Yi has become a commoner, all the terms of the nobility and the obligations of all nobles have nothing to do with him, no matter what he does, it is his own business, and the royal family is no longer able to interfere.
Annoyed and angry, the royal family issued several imperial decrees in succession, prohibiting neighboring countries from trading with the Luyi Dominion, but the problem now is that the Luyi Kingdom itself has no business, all the business is in the Luyi King City, the business of the tens of thousands of giant merchants, their families are distributed all over the world, and they can't stop it at all.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the brain-eating worms in the bodies of a thousand vampires have grown to maturity, and they can break out of their brains at any time and integrate into the main body of the brain-eating worms, thus breaking through the tenth order and reaching the eleventh order, that is, the battle can start at any time.
With the suppression of the royal family, Luyi's supermarkets distributed around the world have suffered a huge impact, especially in terms of taxes, which have increased exponentially.
Supermarkets, which are the so-called supermarkets, are not high profits, mainly because of large quantities and small profits but quick turnover, so the total profits will be very high, but now, the tax rate has multiplied, and the original small profits have directly become unprofitable, and even some stores have begun to lose money.
Tens of thousands of stores, this is just an adjective, in fact...... Today, the total number of supermarkets distributed around the world has reached more than 18,700, or it will not be long before it reaches 20,000.
A loss of 1 million is just a small meaning, but if there are 10,000 families, it is a loss of 10 billion, and this number continues to increase, if it is not solved as soon as possible, the loss will not be 10 billion, but 100 billion, and even go out of business.
In the face of the successive suppressions of the royal family, since Lu Yi is ready and eager to fight, of course he will not continue to swallow his anger.
At the beginning of the new year, Lu Yi once again issued a statement to the outside world, Lu Yi Supermarket Group was officially established, owned by Lu Yi, and officially announced that it would no longer pay any taxes!
In the face of the new news announced by Lu Yi, the royal family was furious, and immediately made a decision, and the royal family sent officials to directly issue orders to the two hundred kingdoms to forcibly close Lu Yi and supermarkets around the world!
When the royal family received the declaration of war from the Lu Yi Dominion, everyone couldn't stand up with laughter, a small territory with an area of only 100 square kilometers and a population of only 100,000 dared to be the enemy of the royal family!
At the same time that Lu Yi declared war, the 100,000 Guardian Spirit Legion began to plunder all the ships belonging to the royal family in the three rivers, the personnel were seized, the goods were looted, and all those who resisted were brutally slaughtered.
Up to now, the navy of the Lu Yi Dominion has reached 100,000! And all of them are composed of masters of the eighth and ninth orders, with the help of the ironclad fleet, in the Three Rivers region, they are invincible, and no one can compete with the water army of the Lu Yi Dominion!
In the face of the invasion of the Lu Yi Dominion, the royal family was greatly annoyed, but it was powerless to fight back, although the royal family also has a water army, but the problem now is that the three major water army bases of the royal family have been destroyed by the Lu Yi Dominion in the first time, and they have not even been able to resist for a while.
Although the soldiers and generals of the navy were not slaughtered, tens of thousands of huge ships were burned, thousands of royal dockyards were destroyed, and all the shipbuilders were looted and did not know where they were shipped.
The current situation is that all the ships of the navy have been burned, the shipyards for shipbuilding have also been destroyed, the craftsmen have been captured, and the entire Three Rivers Valley has completely become the territory of Lu Yi, and the royal family is completely unable to intervene.
However, although the navy cannot fight, the royal family naturally has its own strengths, and the Three River Basins can't beat it, but can they run the monks and the temple......? The royal family immediately raised a million troops, approaching the Lu Yi Dominion, since it is right, it can only completely wipe out the other party, one million against one hundred thousand, even if the other party has three heads and six arms, he will definitely die without a place to be buried.
The million-strong army, divided into ten troops, each with an army of 100,000 troops, surrounded the Lu Yi Dominion from ten directions, and did not let anyone leave! Since the Lu Yi Dominion chose to confront, it must accept the consequences of being destroyed!
At the same time that the Holy See's Ten Route Army was slowly approaching, in the Marshal's Mansion in the Lu Yi Dominion, Sha Lu was in a hurry, although she had an ace army in her hand, although she had a full strategy, but the difference in strength was too great, and ...... As the defender, it is impossible to maneuver and fight, and can only defend passively, so this battle is almost impossible to win!
