Chapter 1007: Great progress

Because the rebels suddenly occupied a large area, the imperial government under Queen Isabella,
With the ordinary people of Almohad, the people's resentment was boiling up and down.
In the past, when the New Army was able to block the enemy in the Zamibia River, the war would not reach the inland. The capital Abdwad was still singing and dancing. The vast majority of the people were not in that war. There is no intuitive feeling.
In social places such as bars, teahouses, dance parties, etc., when people talk about the war, they always have a joke mentality when they talk about the war.
More often, it is the government's newly promulgated consumption tax, carbon emission tax and other tax policies.
What "a bunch of puppies who can only scrape the land..." grab so much money to cure the huāliu. "Wait, wait, it's very yellow and violent.
After all, the war is very far away, and the tax collectors who pay from their pockets are very close. Maybe it's just around the corner.
But now the situation has changed.
The enemy had hit the Zamibia River, and the news that they had begun to march northward immediately caused a panic.
Everyone hated them very much: those puppies really had enough food. Didn't actually block the enemy's attack?
In this way, can't the enemy be killed at any time?
It is said that those southerners are poor and unreasonable and don't make much sense. And everyone has blue-faced fangs, is eight feet tall, and has a waist circumference of eight feet. He doesn't wash his hands after he has a bowel movement and eats raw human flesh. Extremely barbaric. I like to steal money, things, and women. In the end, in order to cover up criminal evidence,
Set a fire again...
As soon as they came over, the family belongings they had worked so hard to save, the god-daughter Shui Lingling whom she had just recognized, were all gone?
That’s all, the most frightening one is that those puppies still like to kill people indiscriminately~!
Who suffers this?
Every time the big guys sit together now, they are all very consistent, complaining about the new army's inability to suppress the bandits, and swearing at the gang of puppies, hoping they can stand up.
At this time, they realized how precious it is that they can live peacefully here.
For the sake of hard-won peace, the big guy would rather squeeze a little more money out of his already scarce pockets to support the army.
The ups and downs of the Almohad Empire showed a unified unity.
It's a pitiful day, you know, this is the first time since Her Majesty Queen Isabella came to power, it has been unanimously supported by the people in the true sense.
Even when the new army went down for conscription, there was no need to carry a small rope, which had a 160% bonus for conscription work.
The small and medium-sized nobles and small and medium-sized landlords who live in the towns and villages are no longer pushing back and forth against conscription.
Although they still do not want to join the army by themselves or their sons, they actively cooperate with the conscription work and encourage other people in the village to join the army. Even those who joined the army assured that they would give their family members generous treatment and corresponding help. Eliminate their worries.
You know, this is a remarkable improvement.
In the past, when recruiting, all the military police with the brigade took advantage of the midnight to sneak into the village.
Wait until all the roads in and out of the village are blocked, and then they start to let go and catch the strong, er, not just start to let go of the voluntary recruitment work.
The tragic, enthusiastic and enthusiastic conscription situation in the middle did not reach the level described in "Shi Hao Li", but it was not much worse.
But in spite of this, the people still find that the efforts they are making are so insignificant, and the situation seems to be getting worse.
The new army retreated ten times faster than when it launched the attack.
The four provinces north of the Zamibia River, one town after another, and one city after another, fell.
The frontline battle report that comes every day is that a certain area has been invaded by rebels. The brave and fearless Royal Legion of our empire fought battles. After killing many enemies, they turned in triumphantly.
The corpses of the rebel army were piled up like a mountain, and the enemy chieftain helplessly lamented and said, "It is difficult to shake the royal army.
Then add the glorious deeds of a certain soldier standing alone and swearing to the death. A letter from a mother to a son on the front line is attached.
Of course, every few days have to be replaced by the newlyweds writing to the front-line husbands.
The content is all about killing the enemy and serving the country, defending the queen's majesty and winning the fruits of victory, fighting with the reactionary careerists who are despicable and shameless, for their own sake, to destroy the stability and unity of the empire.
The content of the letter is sincere, and it makes people urinate to read.
Those news reports are exciting and exciting to read. I can’t wait to copy the guys to fight the rebels.
Lorraine turned over the battle report issued by Almohad every time. Throw up when you're done, and flip again after you're done.
And every side sighed and sighed: The pen of the war report is really good writing. It is a pity that I can't write novels with this pen, and it is absolutely popular among thousands of otaku. Accidentally, it is also a masterpiece of the "Mei huā in the Golden Bottle".
How can they fool the common people to death. Those gangs are poor and arrogant. Can these imperial officials deceive them?
Within a few days, the ordinary people recollected, what is meant by "victorious transfer"?
Isn't Nima just retreating~!
After fighting for dozens of miles and losing a few cities, now I still have the face to say that I can move in successfully?
In the past half month, the new army has lost almost half a province. The people who supported Queen Almohad became more and more angry with the gang of puppies. The anger value is getting higher and higher, and the spearhead of anger is all aimed at the new army.
The people even made up a lot of jokes to laugh at General Hasel, the commander of the new army.
It is said that after a certain war, on the way to the victory of the new army, General Hassell walked vigorously all the way, and then kicked a running rabbit away and shouted: "Get away,
Let those who know how to run go first"
Or just say: "A frightened deserter on the battlefield was stopped by General Hassel. The general scolded him extremely angrily: "Soldier, do you know who I am?" I am General Hasel. "The soldier froze for a moment, and said, "Oh my God, I didn't expect I could run this far all at once~
～" The imperial government is also very frustrated for this. They can only put on an unpredictable appearance and tell the dead people: "Your Majesty, this is playing a very large bowl of fried noodles... "After all, this matter involves military secrets. Everyone can't explain to the common people that this tactic was formulated by Queen Isabella and a kind of senior boss.
Moreover, this matter also has a positive side.
Although I endure the ridicule for a while now, when things are fulfilled in the future, the common people will inevitably be convinced. When you fool around them in the future, just take out this old thing and talk about it, I believe you can definitely fool them.
However, because of this, the current situation is not optimistic.
Over time, all kinds of dissatisfaction are also being accumulated.
Almost all the responsibilities have been transferred to the new army. The Almohad Empire has become extremely unquiet because of the loss of land during this period of time. All kinds of yang and strange rumors are secretly circulating under the table.
"The hen Sichen is against the rules of nature.
"The queen is a woman with long hair and short insights. Not all of them are deceived."
"The Prime Minister and his group of incompetent umbrellas and greed are all waste." "The peacekeeping forces just eat and do not fight, and that strange uncle, Grand Duke Julian, is a queen, which is obviously a preservation of evil intentions.
"Not as good as before."
"......"
The staff member who introduced the current situation secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the big men in front of him, and said loudly: "The current situation is like this. The offensive of the rebels has reached the limit, showing that the new army is exhausted. Mainly guerrilla operations in small units. In the next stage, changes are likely to occur on the battlefield.
In addition, the latest developments in the areas controlled by the Almohad government deserve our vigilance. The spearhead of public opinion has been directed at the Queen’s Government and our peacekeeping forces. Ordinary people are becoming increasingly unkind to us.
The Intelligence Department analyzed that it was likely that someone was manipulating behind the scenes, with unknown intentions, and is currently being investigated further. "
Catherine sneered contemptuously, and said: "What else can be the reason? Someone can't sit still. Muddy water is muddy water. Muddy water is muddy water. Why don't you muddy the water?"
Lorraine knew in his heart: It was probably the elders and children of the former government who had let go.
After Queen Isabella came to power, they all lost power. Once the good life was gone, they just couldn't balance in their hearts. Whenever there was a chance, they would rush to fan the flames and try to plot something.
Catherine snorted and said, "Should I tell you, some people just can't do it except for being like a vixen, who can charm some men who are not firm. Their wrists are just average." Then she saw Adai next to her. Er cast a gaze that looked like a smile, and couldn't help but startled, and then realized that he was a real vixen who harmed the country and the people. Saying others in front of her is not equivalent to pointing at the monk and cursing the bald man?
She couldn't help but spit out her pink tongue to apologize.
But Adele smiled sweetly, and then murmured: "Women, when you talk to others, you always can't see yourself. This is the weakness of all women."
Catherine couldn't help but tilted her head, wondering: What did she mean by this?
But then he subconsciously ignored the past, and then continued to say to the Grand Duke: "Let me say that the pests should have been eliminated all at once, keep them, and come out at the critical moment to buzz and cause trouble."
Grand Duke Julian coughed softly, and said: "Sometimes it is not for the stability of the regime." Lorraine smiled slightly, Catherine was used to being strong, and was never soft when dealing with disobedient. However, what the Grand Duke Julian said is also reasonable. If the rebels are killed, it is easy to cause backlash and cause confusion.
These are two different governing concepts, which cannot be said to be better or worse, and both have advantages and disadvantages.
Lorraine pressed Catherine's hand and said, "It doesn't matter to us anyway, let them have their own headaches for their problems."
Catherine nodded, glanced at the Duke, and said: "That's what I said, I just want to be optimistic about this big and small making no mistakes, I'm tired enough." Duke Julian could only helplessly smile.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.
Leo was sweating profusely and hurried in from outside.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Why are you still here? Go, watch the excitement, a bunch of people, the palace is blocked, and it's making noise.,,
Grand Duke Julian's face sank, and the first one asked: "What's the matter? Leo, come over and say slowly." Leo waved his hand and said, "A group of guys who don't know where they came from are blocking the gate of the palace and saying It's a petition. It's already in trouble."
Grand Duke Julian slapped the armrest and stood up and said, "Let's take a look."
In front of the Almohad Palace is a wide field. The gate of the palace is a forbidden area. People are usually not allowed to approach it. The Royal Guard of Almohad is on duty.
Only at this moment, hundreds of people in ragged clothes gathered in front of the palace gate. There are everyone in this group, not only the elderly, but also the children who can't walk.
They knelt on the hot ground against the hot sunlight above their heads.
Under the sun, the temperature of the slate floor was more than sixty degrees.
They were all unclothed, women were a little better, and most of them were wearing rags to cover up men.
Everyone was thin and dark, their ribs were stubborn, and their faces were withered and yellow. They were obviously hungry for a long time.
Many people were obviously wounded. Some people covered their bleeding wounds with black gauze, and lived with simple crutches made of numbers.
An unpleasant stench exudes from them, and a large group of flies can be seen flying around them from a distance.
These people are clearly a large group of refugees.
The imperial army at the door looked at them with a helpless look, and kept shouting loudly: "The palace is heavy, withdraw. Get out~!"
The skinny old man at the front had been kneeling and kowtow in front of the imperial army.
A large group of people gathered at the headquarters of the peacekeeping force, looking in the direction of the palace gate.
Lorraine pulled over a military policeman at the door and asked, "What the is going on?"
The gendarme said: "The group of people is said to be refugees from the occupied areas and came to the palace to petition."
Lorraine frowned, thinking: "No, there is a problem."
Then said to Catherine and the others: "You wait here, don't go out. In addition, order to strengthen the defense of the headquarters."
Catherine asked suspiciously: "What's the problem?"
Lorraine shook his head and said, "A group of war refugees can walk from the occupied area to the imperial city alive without being blocked by the government. Do you think it is possible?"
Catherine seemed to understand in an instant, like this kind of petitioner in Beijing, it has always been a taboo of the local government. If it is severely hit, it can be more than a thousand miles from the occupied area to the imperial city. If no one is behind the scenes support , They will never reach the imperial city.
Catherine said angrily: "This is a trick."
Lorraine waved his hand and said, "I'll go take a look."
He said that he exchanged a pair with the person next to him, took a hat on his head, and squeezed out the crowd and walked over.
A large group of imperial residents gathered in front of the imperial palace. It seemed that there were as many as 30,000 people onlookers, and they were constantly increasing.
Blocking the gate of the imperial palace to petition, this has not happened once in decades, and even the high temperature of 40 degrees can not organize the enthusiasm of the people onlookers.
Lorraine lowered his hat and squeezed into the crowd and walked slowly near the refugees.
The stinking odor of the ninja of the Imperial Army said angrily: "Rushing into the palace is a crime of beheading. Seeing that you are refugees, you don't care about it this time, and you quickly withdraw. "The refugees were unmoved and knelt on the ground and shouted:" I beg the Queen to call the shots for us."
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of them shouted together.
The loud voice of a different car overwhelmed the noise on the [wide] field, and spread far away.
The forbidden army officer suddenly became anxious, took a long sword and pointed it at the headed old man, shouting: "Go out, if you don't go out, I will kill you."
The old man suddenly rushed up against the sword of the Forbidden Army and shouted, "You kill me, we can't survive anyway."
The imperial army hurriedly withdrew their swords and retreated, all in a cold sweat.
The old man threw himself on the ground, howling and crying, crying as he yelled, "God keep your eyes open, how are we going to live. My family is gone, and my son and daughter are dead. I'm the old man alone..."
The refugees behind the old man followed and wept loudly, telling the people around their tragic experience.
The people of Almohad beside Lorraine all had a sad expression, shook their heads and said: "...it's so miserable, so miserable "
"The new army is incompetent, a bunch of idiots."
"The queen should come out too. You can't leave people alone, they are all Almohad.
"Even the queen is too cold-blooded."
"I knew, what was going on in this battle? Look, I'm making Hadu anxious. Hmph, woman, harm the country and the people."
Lorraine coldly scanned the nearby people who were talking, secretly saying that it was not good, and public opinion tended to get out of control.
Someone nearby suddenly shouted, "We are still incompetent, and the new army is incompetent~!"
The surrounding people's anger exploded because of their continuous defeat in tax increases, and they felt that this sentence was too right.
Prime Minister Weishang is indeed incompetent, unable to prevent the outbreak of the civil war, nor can it quell the civil war, because of this war, the lives of the people have been much saddened.
The new army is indeed a group of rice buckets, who have fought two big defeats in a row, and now they are constantly retreating and fleeing.
Following this line of thought, is Queen Isabella, who is their boss, also incompetent?
The answer is of course yes.
"Weishang has harmed the country and the people, so he should step down and step down~!" "We want to reform~!"
"To reform~!"
"Reform the government, reform the army."
Lorraine carefully glanced at the crowd, and found that the voice of the leader shouting always came from several fixed directions. The crowd is too dense to find them.
The people nearby are talking about it. In this world, except for the dictatorship, everyone is always dissatisfied with the government. There is an old saying that you can pick up your bowl for dinner and put down the bowl to scold your mother. The common people are satisfied with the dictatorship because they dare not be dissatisfied.
"Oh... our life is indeed not as good as before." "It's tax increase, tax increase, and conscription. Do you still have to persuade donations? Can it be easier?"
"A group of people in the government eat and only scrape off the people. They are incompetent."
"Look at how good people are in Ruman. Whoever dares to increase taxes arbitrarily, the Senate first disagrees."
"Damn, the rich I will immigrate. This horrible place, what kind of home the queen should be. Raising a group of from the peacekeeping force does nothing, the army always defeats the war. It is better to let Hadu come."
"..."
Lorraine looked around and found that the mood of the masses was getting higher and higher, even he himself cooperated with gathering fists to avoid being seen as abnormal.
"The situation is going to get out of control~!" Lorraine secretly said, thinking about whether to send peacekeeping troops to disperse them. ! .
