Extraordinary Sailing

In the 187th year of the Haiyuan calendar, it is the end of autumn.

Tulip Islands.

Gloucester, the southern city of Phalatis, which had been silent for a long time as an important commercial port with the Kingdom of Ilia, suddenly became lively again.

One hundred and twenty kilometers to the southeast of it was Hereford, the city of the Kingdom of Elia, and it was also the closest place to the other alliance countries.

Although the overall natural resources of the Tulip Islands are relatively rich, the distribution is extremely uneven, and trade between countries is a rigid demand.

It wasn't until the tragic "Great Uprising" in the Kingdom of Ilia that the navigation between the two sides stopped for the first time, and the scene of ships coming and going 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, Phalatis, Tyro, Palos, Thessaly, and Tulip.

Every family has at least one quasi-legendary ship, and at the same time, it is accompanied by at least a fifth-tier ship.

In the "Benin Naval Battle" that decided the fate of the Tulips at the beginning, apart from Ilya, who had already withdrawn from the group, the alliance had a total of only 33 battleships.

At this time, a total of forty-five ships came, forming a terrifying joint fleet!

The cloud-like flag fluttered in the sea breeze.

Although it is mainly a compromise type of fourth-tier ships, it is enough to see that the high-level leaders of various countries are afraid of the new ruler of Ilia.

Although the royal exiles who escaped from the palace in advance have never been seen, many nobles who saw that something was wrong and fled Ilia in advance after losing their manors and land brought everything there to the allies of Tulip.

The steady stream of information made them feel how miserable the nobles in the Kingdom of Ilia who were inextricably related to them were. It would be terrible to export this kind of regime that killed the king and nobles to the entire alliance.

In the Combined Fleet, Rear Admiral Demond Brand, the captain of the Phalitis "Brilliant", serves as the commander of the regular fleet. The ones in charge of the battle are the titled knight "Halberd of Lightning" Augustus from the Kingdom of Tairo, and a certain high-ranking wizard who is not yet known.

It can already be seen from the staffing that they not only want to completely eradicate this bourgeois class, but have even made a good distribution of benefits to the big cake of Ilya after the chaos is corrected.

And Ilya's side, long before the coup d'état, had already recalled a large number of warships around the world to defend the results of their "uprising".

After giving up most of their overseas interests and taking back the main fleet, they are now strong and confident.

Although there are some remaining royalist warships, after "defecting", they became the leading party of the alliance.

However, a large number of pirates in the Black Sea changed into military uniforms and turned into the regular army of the new "Republic of Ilia", and the pirate king "Octopus Ghost" Huggins himself became the new admiral of the navy.

In the autumn seaworthiness season, when it is impossible for other countries to give up their overseas interests and strangle Ilya with all their strength, the Republic Army will be above the Alliance Army just by looking at the fleet's momentum.

also.

Three months has been enough to expose everything.

The Constituent Assembly dominated by the bourgeoisie became the highest state organ, and a new "Ilya Republic" was established. Jerome and Wright were logically elected as the chairman and deputy speaker respectively.

It is worthy of the "free capitalism" that pursues profits crazily. In order to give back to its own class, the republic government controlled by them immediately extinguished the traditional aristocratic forces.

A series of bloody legislation was issued to suppress and exploit the third-level civilians who once fought side by side with it, so as to protect social stability and the vested interests of the property owners.

The New Deal that was just released was pretty normal.

The "Religious Act" equalizes the right to preach, and based on the concept of "freedom of belief", it denies the exclusive missionary right of the "Black Iron Cross Church" on the land of the Republic.

There is no mandatory requirement for civilians to convert. After all, they know that beliefs cannot be forced. If they are rejected from the bottom of their hearts, no matter how much legislation is used, it will be useless.

But the "Black Wing Order", which has received official support, is developing rapidly, and the new title of "God of Capital and Wealth" is enough to attract attention. Moreover, ordinary people don't know what "capital" is, but they know that "wealth" is a good thing.

However, the second decree revealed its true face.

With the victory of the "uprising", although the drought has ended, the nightmare of the farmers has just begun.

Because they directly passed the "Land Enclosure Act" in the form of legislation, led by the Constituent Assembly to enclose domestic land on a large scale, and then "lease" it to large farmers and ranchers at a low price.

No matter whether it belongs to the traditional aristocrats or the land of ordinary farmers, all the land will not be spared.

Then.

Men, women, old people, orphans, and parents with babies in their arms start to wander around. When they run out of limited money in their wanderings, what else can they do other than steal and be hanged or go begging from house to house?

If they go vagrant to beg for food, they will be sent to prison immediately, and the factories, pastures, farms, and mines of the bourgeois are their final destination.

Third Act "Law Concerning Artisans, Workmen, Agricultural Servants and Apprentices of All Trades"

The decree stipulates that all vagrants who are able to work will be arrested and whipped or tied to the back of the carriage and whipped until they bleed, and then they will be sworn to work and sent back to their hometown; those who violate the decree for the second time will be whipped and half of their ears will be cut off; Three offenders were sentenced to death.

The decree stipulates that if a homeless person cannot find a job within a month, once someone informs him, he will be sentenced to be the informer's slave. The master has the right to use chains and whips to force them to work. If such slaves escape for more than 14 days, they will be sentenced to lifelong slaves, and the S mark will be branded on their foreheads or backs.

The decree stipulates that all craftsmen and workers who are paid on a daily basis or weekly wages shall start working at or before five o'clock in the morning and continue until eight in the evening from February to October every year. o'clock, except for breakfast, lunch, and water, but these hours should not exceed two and a half hours a day.

Obviously, even if they are nominally workers instead of slaves, they are not much different from slaves.

And the first evil result of the lack of macro-control is so swift and violent!

After they directly drive farmers away from the land and convert them into pastures for raising sheep, the current level of productivity development of the entire society simply does not prepare enough corresponding jobs.

Even if the salary is extremely meager under the fierce competition, it still cannot arrange so many people.

For the bourgeois, this is a happy trouble, but for the peasants who cannot find a job within the specified time, it is a nightmare that will never wake up.

In three months, a total of 17,000 people were killed, most of them were traditional nobles and family members who hindered the rule of the new class, but there was also no shortage of "loafing" vagabonds.

The civilian class who just felt that they had turned over had not had time to sing before being stepped into the mud again.

Moreover, the commercial aristocrats did not have the sense of honor of the traditional aristocrats and knights at all. The sense of honor cultivated by living with the people for hundreds of thousands of years was short of writing the word "cannibalism" directly on their foreheads.

He was at least human before, but now he is only human.

In addition to creating value for the bourgeois, all human attributes have been stripped away.

It also gave the alliance, which had been waiting for three months, a chance.

at this time.

Ivan and Anita stood side by side on the bow of the "Storm Horn", watching the movements of the diplomats who had just been sent to the island through the sight of seabirds.

After all, there is a true god standing behind those bourgeois. It is best not to fight if you can. War is always just a means rather than an end.

Although he didn't release [Legendary Battleship Miracle Crown] in advance, he has already brought his entire team, and the power of one person is enough to fight a high-intensity war.

Except for the combination of the two fourth-tier monsters and the Pirate King whose identities had gradually become clear, he didn't pay much attention to others.

And before that, they made a special trip to the "Eye of the Storm" in the Black Sea to visit the "Church of Raging Waves". Although they made it clear that they did not have the ability to control the "lawless" Huggins, they also got a lot of information from Fisher. Information about the Pirate King.

The most important point is the [Legendary Battleship Sea Soul (Chapter 495)] of the "Church of Raging Waves" he is in charge of! It should also be one of the biggest reliance for them to believe that they can hold on to the results of the uprising.

And when the holy angel Belenus left with a relaxed face, he also gave Isabella a promise. As a support for the kingdom of Phalitis, as long as the kingdom can build an extraordinary warship, he is willing to spend a lot of power to give blessings, turning it into a true legendary warship.

And it happened that the treasure tree originally used to build the "Sea King Power" with a design displacement of 5,826 tons still had room for the actual construction of the "Crown of Miracles" with a standard displacement of 2,800 tons.

Subtracting the steel components, there is still a small half of the "treasure tree". Aiwen rubbed his chin, and was also considering whether to trade it to the kingdom, and what benefits he could get if he traded himself.

Suddenly, Anita reached out and grabbed Ivan:

"Negotiation failed, prepare to fight!"

The class confrontation on Tulip's side is in full swing, and Cyrus, who is only across the sea from them, is also not calm at all.

It has been a year and a half since Philip II was crowned emperor and Sirius was promoted to the empire.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune.

As a model of totalitarianism, the Cyrus Empire has very few poor handicrafts, let alone a mature bourgeoisie.

It can be said that Cyrus is the farthest place from the scourge of [Capital], and it is also one of the countries most qualified to eat melons in the entire source continent.

But they also have their own troubles to deal with.

After the Reformation, the confrontation between the old and the new religions was serious, and it also killed a lot of people.

Philip II set up a "court of flames" within the empire and issued a "bloody edict" to try and burn heretics, who were basically stubborn old believers. Prepare to cleanse your empire thoroughly and cut off the minions of the "Eternal Flame" sect.

Of course, the traditional "Eternal Flame" sect can't sit still and set up an Inquisition within the radiation range of their own beliefs. In addition to punishing the extraordinary, they also specifically hunt and kill Protestants of the "Fire Sect".

Compared with foreign enemies, killing each other is the first priority!

The current top two forces in Yuan Continent are in turmoil, and they have completely ignored others for the time being
