Chapter 410 Returner 2
Therefore, the Allied National Salvation Army, which suffered a double blow in a short period of time, had to stop and return to Lower Normandy.However, at this time, major problems reappeared within the Allied Army for National Salvation; unexpectedly, several important generals were secretly persuaded and bought by the Burgundian dynasty.

Under the guarantee and witness provided by the commander of the intervention army of the Holy Kingdom, the head of the Knights of Santiago, they successively accepted the titles, official positions and fiefs issued by the Burgundian dynasty; and then launched a rebellion and mutiny in the fortress of Condé, Most members of the National Salvation League were arrested.

And the former Generalissimo Motiler, who was known as victorious in all battles and had great prestige, was also assassinated in the rebellion and was seriously injured, thus losing his ability to control the army.The National Salvation League, which had won many battles and victories, fell into disintegration, so it was quickly defeated or surrendered.

Only a small number of die-hard followers of the generalissimo led the remnants, and they continued to fight in the province of Lower Normandy, Manche and other counties in the northwest peninsula.At the same time, the navy of the Holy Kingdom blockading the sea was once again attacked by the British navy and suffered heavy losses, and had to go south to reorganize.

Therefore, the Lamanche Strait (English Channel), which is the closest to the mainland between the British Isles and the mainland, also experienced a temporary emptiness of defense.Therefore, some unknown news claimed that an army from the United Kingdom of the Seven Kingdoms had successfully landed in Calais, the closest country.

Therefore, with the Counties of the Netherlands, the Principality of Brabant, the Counties of Avatus, the Counties of Flanders, the Viscounty of Bouwen, the City League of Bruges, etc., the forces of the Northwest princes standing behind the National Salvation League Committee, There have also been serious wavering and divisions, even in the city of Senna.

In addition, according to another piece of news that Senior Lafaro secretly bought/inquired in his capacity as an imperial attendant/royal secretary; it is that the dynasty intends to use the form of marriage and a large amount of money from the Awar Khanate, Eastern forces such as the Huns and the Bulgar Kingdom hired troops.

As a result, the Burgundian dynasty entrusted bankers and large merchant groups in the capital to issue the fifth batch of bonds since the succession to the throne; at the same time, collected and raised precious metals in the capital region and surrounding territories to cast a new small corolla with a face value of 1 Ecu coins (silver coins) to exchange for the original big flower crown coins.

As collateral, there are several large crowns/royal territories currently held by the Burgundian dynasty, as well as several other grand dukes originally located in the provinces of Champagne, Upper and Lower Burgundy, Picardy, and Eldon fief.As a result, the dynasty continued to entrust a large number of new nobles.

And it is the kind of real-featured nobles who grant land fiefdoms, instead of the honorary nobles and rank nobles of the past.However, it also caused a fierce backlash from the old aristocratic group.Therefore, in order to level the bowl of water, Charles I announced that they could also spend money to buy fiefs.

So for a while, from the provinces of Indre, Roiret, Loir, and Cher in the Central Plateau; to Picardy in the north, and the provinces of Upper and Lower Normandy, a large number of villages and towns along the way have been inserted with the logo of the lord; It also led to riots and riots among the citizens of the Capital Region.

However, this time the Burgundian dynasty is no compromise and polite.The Armagnac Corps, the most elite private armed force under the former Grand Duke of Burgundy, was directly dispatched, and the Wang Weijun was adapted; the middle and high-level members of the original National Self-Defense Force of the capital were seized and suppressed vigorously.

Then, disregarding the merits of the other party who once supported and welcomed us; and broke the contract, disbanded and merged, mainly composed of ordinary citizens, small traders, members of guilds and other property owners, 44 regiments of the National Self-Defense Force (dissatisfied with the number); Supplement it to the three major legions in the reconstruction.

Therefore, relying on the benefits harvested from the ransacking of these well-to-do citizens, the Burgundian dynasty was able to obtain the initial reserve for the issuance of public bonds.But it also made the capital region become full of dissatisfaction, and people's hearts were chaotic, and the road was clear; resistance broke out again in many cities.

However, after the fierce coup changes of previous governments and the infinite expansion of subsequent liquidation; whether it was the original royal (reformist) faction, or the charter (virtual monarchist) faction; or (Senate) republican faction, or even the most violent The Liberal (Tribunes) faction suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, in the face of the force at the hands of the Burgundian dynasty, these spontaneous resistances are just a drop in the bucket.On the contrary, the Burgundian dynasty tasted the benefits of tyranny and intensified; it even restored the special situation court during the bloody terror period when the five dukes jointly ruled.

The Supreme Judgment Committee is composed of special affairs committee members elected by the three basic ruling classes who wear robes (civilian), hold swords (military), and ribbons (clergy).Then, the committee designates/appoints a number of people from certain classes and fields to form the court.

And this special situation court can simplify the traditional royal circuit court, and the kingdom's district court; in the vast majority of litigation procedures, it can take all necessary and due measures for any person suspected of endangering the rule of the dynasty, and has follow-up Right of interpretation.

Therefore, as this special situation court began to operate, all kinds of framing and biting incidents inside and outside the city of Seine almost increased day by day, and everyone was in danger; even the middle and lower nobles who originally supported and supported the new dynasty were not spared. Enemies and adversaries also join the court.

Therefore, even Senior Rafaro, who is currently serving in the royal court, can't help but feel a sense of crisis; although he is not afraid of being exposed, he is afraid of being framed and framed into the Special Situation Court for no reason.Therefore, he has sent out many related people in advance.

Among them, there were hundreds of professors and students from Capital University and various schools; unemployed technicians from Wang's factory, members of wealthy families and guilds, and so on.But this is only the beginning, and there will be a larger and more than one wave of fleeing in the future.

Of course, it also includes his former benefactor, who is also one of his current secret lovers; a widowed lady, her children, dozens of relatives, and part of the wealth transferred with it.Just hope to be able to get asylum and resettlement from the Free Army, so that they can have peace of mind.

But in any case, this also means that the best window for the relatively calm development and steady expansion of the Free Army forces in the south is about to disappear completely.Therefore, after a brief discussion, Jiang Tian ordered on the spot: "Mobilize with Toulouse and Broswan as the center, and prepare to march into Lyon."

So one week after the establishment of the special national salvation government in the south, it is also Juniper Day after entering the Snow Moon.The 95nd, [-]th, and [-]th refits and supplements were initially completed; a total of three (field) corps, [-] large regiments, [-] companies, and [-] soldiers swore to set off.

Along the ancient highway in the northeast direction, all the way through the provinces of Aveyron, Lozère, Ashdale, etc.; The supplement of winter materials such as charcoal and oil, as well as the auxiliary company recruited on the spot.

Therefore, when the mighty advance army arrived at the city of Midonne, the initial place of the rise of the Freedom Army in Dron Province, through the ice, snow and cold wind, it received a particularly warm welcome.The auxiliary company supplemented along the provincial route also reached 1000 people.
