Chapter 223: The Peasant Revolt of the Confederate Alliance, the Rift of the Monarchical Council [5/5 Automatic Subscription].
Alfonso Empire.
As the largest agricultural country among the Confederate States of the South.
It was directly responsible for the daily food supply of the millions of Confederate troops, but even so, the top brass of the Alfonso Empire was still firmly engaged in the country’s industrialization reforms.
And the development of agriculture has not been much relaxed by the emergence of industry.
The vast majority of the nobles only distributed a group of peasants who were supposed to work in the fields to the factory.
As for field cultivation, it is still so much, but the farmers who cultivate are much less, and the intensity of everyone’s labor needs to be increased a lot.
At this moment, a village mouth of the Alfonso Empire.
Watch as the noble butler in warm coats rides away in a carriage.
In the cold wind, dozens of yellow-faced farmers at the mouth of the village still faintly echoed the warning of the other party before leaving.
“This year there has been a snow disaster, and the Count’s territorial property has also suffered considerable losses, and in order to support the allied soldiers who resisted the Prussian Empire on the front, your grain is 30% less.”
“It’s all for the whole league! You’d better not be ignorant of good villains! ”
The cold wind whistled, and snowflakes fell from the sky above the sky.
The village was the domain of an Alfonso Earl, and these people, as lords, were no different from slaves in the case of their own imperial laws, regardless of the lives of the people at the bottom.
The grain they themselves can get is very difficult to even feed the whole family. Now it is even reduced by 30%.
The reason is still quite ridiculous to support the front, who does not know that this count is a guy who sells grain, and the territory has several huge granaries, all of which are the grain that they have worked hard to grow by the low-level peasants.
“Chief, 12 What should we do?” My child is still sick, and the food is still reduced, isn’t this the death of our whole family? ”
“Whoops, my woman’s wages in the textile factory are also dragged and not knotted, and no one cares about our lives and deaths.”
“What for the whole league? Those guys above eat and drink all day, why should we starve and freeze for the sake of the alliance! ”
In the crowd, who had been whispering in the midst of hard labor, at this moment, with the powerful people of the Alfonso Empire, when they were in a desperate situation, they still had to raise their legs and step on them.
It finally turned into a loud roar.
It has to be said that when industry began to rise and capital really took the stage, there was no lassos against capital and strict laws like the Prussian Empire.
Capital is like a hungry wolf whose head will never be full.
As much as possible, the value of every share of the workers, these elites of the Confederate States.
Originally, it was a small matter of letting his subordinates work in these workers, picking up all kinds of faults and deducting some wages.
Subsequently, as the upper echelons of the Confederate States demanded more industrial development, they began to use chicken feathers as arrows, and the upper echelons of the order began to increase the working hours of workers without raising wages.
After that, these capitalists, without the constraints of the law, completely regarded the workers as their slaves, supplemented by barbaric violence.
Delaying wages, or even directly not giving things to others, has been able to do it in a frenzied way.
If they had done so before, they might have had to consider whether such behavior would have triggered a massive riot. But stimulated by a lot of money, these people have already lost their minds.
The peasants became more and more excited the more they talked, and finally the cold wind stimulated the flesh to shiver, but the flame in their hearts was already burning.
The village chief thought of his young grandchildren, his son and daughter-in-law, one of whom had been killed by the thugs of the factory, and the other who had died of a serious illness after overwork.
Now the family is going to die this winter, and he doesn’t care about it so much. Fiercely put the crutch on the ground with a pestle.
There is a determination in the voice.
“Can’t manage so much, people are going to die, at least we have to be a full ghost!” All of them! Bring the guys, we snatched this damn count! ”
As soon as these words came out, it was as if a spark had fallen into a dry pile of gunpowder.
Immediately, everyone’s eyes were scarlet, and the hordes carrying sticks rushed towards the Count’s manor with a fierce face towards the Earl’s Manor in Pia.
As soon as these angry peasants appeared, they were immediately discovered by the leaders and thugs guarding the manor, and one by one, under the care of the count, the thugs with tigers and bears on their backs drew their swords.
One by one, the leaders also immediately raised their flintlock guns under the orders of the garrison captain.
“What are you going to do?!” Don’t die, don’t you! ”
The captain of the garrison looked at the peasants who had gathered at more than two hundred, and his eyes were full of fierceness.
However, these untouchables, who could have been frightened away by a single sentence, are now like hungry wolves who have lost their minds. In the face of their weapons, not only did they not have any fear, but the anger in their eyes became more intense.
“Brothers, these damn nobles, who robbed us of our food, killed our families, and now oppress us with the weapons we have made!”
“Left and right are dead! Fight with them! ”
“Kill!”
Looking at the mob with sticks and other messy weapons and rushing towards this side, the shock in the eyes of the garrison captain flashed away.
The next moment is an immediate shout.
“Shooting!!!”
“Bang bang bang!!!”
The thick smoke erupted, and a terrible howl immediately came from the crowd, but these mobs were not given any extra chances.
The second column of flintlock gunners had stepped forward and aimed their guns at these men.
“Shooting!!!”
Marius anxiously rode his horse all the way to a village not far from his factory, where there was already a cry of killing, but as far as the eye could see, it was all the peasants who were shouting and killing, and it was these people who fell to the ground.
“Stop it all! Stop it all for me! My father is the Duke of Penmesey! Stop it all for me! ”
Marius’s voice spread out on the spot, but it did not bring any effect.
Seeing that he was about to rush up to stop these Gruborgnidi city guards, John who had just arrived. Gale North hurried forward and pulled him back.
“You’re not going to die!” Now those peasants are completely anxious! They have already lost their minds and say that they are robbing the grain, but rather that they are retaliating against the upper echelons! ”
Marius’s expression was full of anger, and with the sound of flintlock guns, a large number of people were shot to the ground.
“Is that how we watch!?”
John was also secretly alarmed by the barbarity of the upper echelons of the Confederate States at this moment, but at this moment his face was solemn.
“Targeting the nobles, even if you hold these people, you will definitely not survive!”
“With this in mind, hurry up and take people with me to their homes, and quickly rescue those who are left in the village!”
“Flee into the mountains and save their families!”
Marius finally calmed down at this moment, and immediately took the bold guards of his factory and quickly rushed to the surrounding villages to transfer all the personnel left here.
Most of them are elderly people and children.
The old people still had an impression of Marius, the kind-hearted son of the duke, but at this moment they shook their heads in the face of him personally bringing people to the rescue.
“My lord, you take my grandson away, let him follow you in the future, you are kind-hearted, in the future this child is disobedient, should be beaten, scolded when he should be scolded, just give him stuttering…”
Looking at the old people whose eyes were full of prayer and who had clearly had the intention of dying, Marius was disgusted for the first time in his life for the flesh and blood of his own son of a nobleman.
Although the Penmesi family was all in the army, even Marius himself did not believe that he had not bullied the poor at the bottom.
And what is the difference between Marius, who is eating the things of the Duke of Penmesey and wearing expensive clothes, and who are carrying out bloody massacres of these people with their guns?
The Pruk Empire’s Heavenly Eye Society’s operations in the Confederate countries over the years were finally fully manifested at this moment. One by one, the villages where 503 riots were born were urgently transferred by their people.
They were all moved into the nearby mountains, where conflict had just broken out in some places, and the Assassin Confederation immediately joined in rescuing the civilians.
Attacks were launched against some relatively weak Confederate soldiers.
The riots occurred mainly in the Gruborgni Empire and the Alfonso Empire, which were the hardest hit by the snow. The top brass of both countries immediately received news of the riots of the poor people below.
Monarchical Council.
“Bang! Are these people crazy? How dare a riot! ”
Alfonso V slapped the table in exasperation. The next moment, however, Rowan Smith of the Kingdom of Rhea was indifferent.
“I have long said that at least a glimmer of life should be left for these people, and these people at the bottom are very timid, at least there is still a little hope of survival, and they absolutely do not have the courage to charge at our fire snatchers with hoes!”
“The situation in the territory of the two Majestyes is entirely self-inflicted, and the collection of military food is completely self-inflicted?” Why do those damned merchants have the power to expropriate grain?! ”
“Also, according to our statistics, the grain collected by both countries is enough for the Confederates to consume for an entire winter, does that mean that we do not have to provide this food?”
Gruborgni V frowned.
“Smith, what do you mean by that?”
Rowan snorted coldly, “Literally, I think the situation between your two countries now, as a barrier for our alliance, is completely worthless!” ”
“The riots are already happening in the territory, and you don’t want to appease them as soon as possible, and you are still here incompetent and furious!”
“Ahem! Stupid! ”
Before Grubenigne V and Alfonso V could speak, Rowan Smith stood up in the stunned gaze of the monarchs.
“One month, if that is still the case in your two countries within a month, then I, the Kingdom of Rhea, declare that it will withdraw from the alliance!”
