Chapter 604: The beginning of the civil war


The 187th year of the Haiyuan calendar is the late autumn.
Tulip Islands.
Gloucester, the southern city of Falitis, which had been silent for a long time as an important trading port with the Kingdom of Ilya, suddenly became lively again.
One hundred and twenty kilometers southeast of it is Hereford, the city of the Kingdom of Ilya, which is also the closest place to the other alliance countries.
Although the overall natural resources of the Tulip Islands are still rich, their distribution is extremely uneven, and trade between countries is a rigid demand.
It was not until the tragic "great uprising" in the Kingdom of Ilya that the navigation between the two sides stopped for the first time, and the sight of the weaving of ships had disappeared for three full months.
but.
What came here at this time was not a merchant ship full of cargo after the resumption of trade, but a warship flying the flags of the other five member states of the Alliance: Falettis, Tyro, Palos, Thessaly, and Tulip.
At least one quasi-legendary came to each family, and at least Tier 5 ships accompanied them.
Except for Ilya, who had already withdrawn from the group, the "Benin Sea Battle" that decided the tulip national transport at the beginning, the Alliance had only 33 battleships in total.
At this time, a total of forty-five ships arrived, forming a combined fleet that can be called terrifying!
The cloud-like flag was hunting in the sea breeze.
Although it is mainly based on the middle-class four-tier ships, it is enough to see the fear of the new rulers of Ilya.
Although the royal exiles who escaped from the palace in advance have not been seen, many nobles who have seen something wrong and escaped from Ilya ahead of time after losing their manor and land, have brought everything there to the allied countries of Tulip.
The constant flow of intelligence has brought their masters here, how miserable the nobles in the kingdom of Ilya who have inextricably linked with them are. It would be terrible to export such a regime that killed kings and nobles to the entire alliance.
In the combined fleet, Major General Demon Brand, the captain of the Falettis "Glory", serves as the commander of the conventional fleet. The person responsible for the battle is Augustus, the titled knight "Thunder Halberd" from the Kingdom of Tyrol, and a certain high-level wizard who is not yet known.
It can be seen from the staffing that they not only want to completely remove the bourgeoisie, but they have even done a good job in the distribution of benefits to the big pie of Ilya after the chaos is set aside.
The Ilya side had already recalled a large number of warships around the world before the coup d'etat to defend the results of its "uprising".
After they gave up most of their overseas interests and regained the main fleet, they are now strong and confident.
Although there were some remaining royal warships, they became the lead party of the alliance after "defection".
However, a large number of pirates in the Black Sea changed into military uniforms and became the regular army of the new "Ilya Republic", and the pirate king "Octopus Ghost" Harkins himself became the new admiral.
In the autumn seaworthiness season, when other countries cannot give up their overseas interests to strangle Ilya with all their strength, just look at the fleet momentum, the Republican Army is still above the Union Army.
In addition.
Three months is enough to expose everything.
The Constituent Assembly, dominated by the bourgeoisie, became the highest state organ, and the new "Ilya Republic" was established, and Jerome and Wright were naturally elected as chairmen and vice-chairmen.
It is worthy of "free capitalism" frantically pursuing interests. In order to give back to their own class, the republic government controlled by them was the first time after the traditional aristocratic power was extinguished.
A series of legislation was issued to suppress and exploit the third-level civilians who used to fight alongside them, in order to guarantee social stability and the vested interests of the property owners.
The New Deal that was just released is fairly normal.
The "Religion Act" equals the right to mission, and based on the concept of "freedom of belief", denies the exclusive right of mission of the "Black Iron Cross Church" on the land of the Republic.
There is no compulsory requirement for civilians to change their beliefs. After all, they know that beliefs cannot be compelled. If you exclude them from the bottom of your heart, it will be useless to make legislation.
However, the "Black Wing Order", which has received official support, has developed rapidly, and the new name "God of Capital and Wealth" is enough to attract attention. Moreover, ordinary people do not know what "capital" is, but they know that "wealth" is a good thing.
However, the second law exposed the real face.
With the victory of the "uprising", although the drought has ended, the farmers' nightmare has just begun.
Because they passed the "Enclosure Act" directly in the form of legislation, with the Constituent Assembly as the leading large-scale occupation of domestic land, and then "lease" to large farmers and large ranchers at low prices.
Whether it was originally belonging to the traditional aristocracy or ordinary peasants, the land was not let go.
then.
Men, women, old people, orphans, and parents with babies start to wander around. When they have used up their limited money in the wanderings, what other way can they do besides stealing and hanging or begging from house to house?
If they go to beg for food, they will immediately be sent to prison. The bourgeois’ factories, pastures, farms, and mines are their ultimate destination.
The third decree "Legislation on Craftsmen, Workers, Agricultural Servants and Apprentices in Various Industries"
The decree stipulates: all people who have the ability to work will be arrested and flogged or lashed at the back of the carriage until they bleed, and then ordered to work under an oath and sent back to their hometown; those who violate the law twice will be flogged and have half their ears cut off; Three offenders were executed.
The decree stipulates that if a homeless person cannot find a job within a month, he shall be sentenced to the slave of the whistleblower once someone reports. The owner has the right to use chains and whips to force them to work. Such slaves who flee for more than 14 days will be sentenced to life-long slaves, and the S mark must be branded on their forehead or back.
The law stipulates that all craftsmen and workers employed by people who are paid on a daily or weekly basis, from February to October each year, must start work before five o’clock in the morning or five o’clock in the morning until eight in the evening. O'clock, except for breakfast, lunch and drinking water, but these times should not exceed two and a half hours a day.
Obviously, even if they are nominally workers and not slaves, they are not much different from slaves.
And the first evil result of the lack of macro-control is so rapid!
After they drove farmers directly off the land and converted them into pastures for raising sheep, the current level of productivity development of the entire society is simply not ready for enough jobs.
Even if the salary is already meager under the fierce competition, it is still impossible to arrange such a large population.
For the bourgeois, this is a trouble of happiness, but for those farmers who cannot find a job within the specified time, it is a nightmare that will never wake up.
In three months, about 17,000 people were killed, most of them were traditional aristocrats and family members who hindered the rule of the new class, but there was no shortage of "slacking" homeless people...
The civilian class, who just thought they had turned over, was stepped into the mud before they had time to sing.
Moreover, the commercial aristocrats did not have the traditional aristocrats and knights at all, and the sense of honor that they had cultivated through symbiosis with the leaders for hundreds of thousands of years, they almost wrote the word "cannibalism" directly on their foreheads.
Originally he was at least a person, but now he still looks like a person.
In addition to creating value for the bourgeoisie, all human attributes have been stripped away.
It also allowed the alliance that had waited for three months to wait for an opportunity.
......
at this time.
Aiwen and Anita stood side by side on the bow of the "Cape Storm", watching the movements of the diplomats who had just been dispatched to the island through the seabird's vision.
After all, behind the group of bourgeois stands a true god, and it is best not to fight if it is possible. War has always been a means, not an end.
Although the [Legendary Battleship·Crown of Miracle] was not sent out in advance, he had already brought his entire crew, and one person was enough to fight a high-intensity war.
Except for the combination of the two Tier 4 monsters and the Pirate King whose identities have gradually become clear, the others are not in his eyes.
Earlier, they made a special trip to the "Eye of the Storm" in the Black Sea to visit the "Raging Waves Church". Although they made it clear that they did not have the ability to control Harkins, they also obtained a lot of information about the pirate king from Fisher.
The most important one is the [Legendary Battleship·Sea Soul (Chapter 495)] he is in charge of! It should also be one of the biggest reliance on which they can keep the results of the uprising.
When the holy angel Bellenus left with a relaxed look, he gave Isabella a promise. As a support for the Kingdom of Falitis, as long as they can build an extraordinary warship, he is willing to spend a huge amount of power to bless him and turn it into a true legendary warship.
And it happened to be used to build the treasure tree with the designed displacement of 5826 tons [Sea King's Authority], after the actual built standard displacement of 2800 tons [Crown of Miracle] there is surplus.
Subtracting the steel components, the "Treasure Tree" actually has only a half left. Aiwen rubbed his chin, and was also considering whether to trade to the kingdom, and what benefits would he gain if he traded.
Suddenly, Anita grabbed Ivan:
"The negotiation failed, get ready to fight!"
......
Class confrontation is in full swing on the Tulip side ~EbookFREE.me~ and Hilius, who is only separated by a sea, is not at all peaceful at all.
Philip II was crowned emperor, and it has been a year and a half since Sirius was promoted to the empire.
I don't know if it is fortune and disaster.
As a model of totalitarianism, the Hilius Empire had very few poor handicrafts, let alone a mature bourgeoisie.
It can be said that Hilius is the farthest place from the [capital] this scourge, and it is also one of the countries most qualified to eat melon in the entire source continent.
But they also have their own troubles to deal with.
The opposition between the old and the new religion is equally killing people.
Philip II set up a "fire court" and issued a "bloody edict" specifically to try and burn heretics. These heretics are basically stubborn old believers.
Of course, the traditional "eternal fire" sect cannot sit still and set up a religious inquisition to hunt down and kill the Protestants of the "eternal fire" sect.
The current top two forces in Source Continent are in chaos, and they have completely ignored each other for the time being...
