Mage Joan

The strong dislike of the ruler of the empire prompted Joan to decide to do something to publicize the unfair treatment suffered by the people of Alfheim and call on people of conscience around the world to jointly condemn the atrocities of the ruler of the empire.

Closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation, Qiao An logged on to the "cloud network" and copied the full text of the "Overview of the Rights of the Empire's Overseas Colonies" to the forum, so that outsiders could understand the struggles and demands of the Alfheims.

Qiao Anyi was still not finished, and then opened his cloud asset account to check the deposit.

There are more than 100,000 "Australians" available for use, and power points are as high as 160,000.

These deposits are of no use right now. After a brief hesitation, Qiao An resolutely made a decision to lend all these deposits to the Central Bank of the Far East Kolas Government.

In order to raise war loans, the Far East authorities offered an annual interest rate of up to 12%.

Qiao An didn’t care about the rate of return. He lent money to the Far East government not for the purpose of investment and profit. He just didn’t want the Imperial Expeditionary Army to easily subvert the Kolas government, which was more popular in the Far East. He didn’t want to see what happened today. The tragedy in the Far East will be repeated in his hometown Alfheim in the future.

When the distant and unfamiliar "motherland" conflicts with the hometown where he was born and raised, the conflicts intensify to the point of irreconcilability. No matter how loyal and patriotic Qiao Ann is, he will eventually have to make a choice and stand on the side of his native compatriots.

After closing the cloud web page, Qiao Ann ended her meditation. He couldn't help but recall the words Rebecca said tonight, think of Rebecca's perception and intuition far above ordinary people, think of her as the priest of the "Goddess of Destiny", occasionally Can predict the future like a "prophet".

Qiao An was faintly disturbed, worried that Rebecca's terrible predictions about Mr. Jefferson's private life and the future of this country would eventually be confirmed.

...

In addition to resisting taxation, the protesters in Leiden have an important mission, which is to protect their true governor-Sir John Norfolk.

When the time came to the end of April, an astonishing news was leaked out by someone who was interested, and spread throughout the city overnight, causing a sensation!

It is said that the new governor, Lord Edmund Fogel, believed that his predecessor was the culprit who secretly incited the mob to resist tax, and planned to arrest John Norfolk with his personal guard and **** him back to the Holy City of Asshan for trial.

The news broke out, like lighting the fuse, which completely intensified the conflict between the people and the government. Leiden Harbor immediately fell into chaos, and countless "thugs" emerged on the ground.

These "sons of freedom" specifically worked against Lord Fogel and his "running dogs". They burned a building today, and robbed them of the day after tomorrow. They didn't stop for a minute.

Sir Fogel sent a guard to suppress it. As a result, the pressure grew stronger, and a large-scale conflict seemed to be about to break out.

In this turbulent season at the end of spring and early summer, Joseph Adams secretly came to Alfheim and, with the assistance of Ms. Miranda, the leader of the Southern "Sons of Freedom", jointly planned a series of protest demonstrations.

Under the control of these two behind-the-scenes leaders, thousands of tax-resistant people gathered outside the governor's palace to shout and demonstrate.

When the Governor’s Guard tried to drive out the protesting crowd, the demonstrators immediately fought back, threw bricks and stones at the Guard, and some set fire to the stables of the Governor’s Palace.

The noisy and furious crowd outside the courtyard wall, and the dense smoke and fire that permeated the courtyard wall caused the entire Governor's Mansion to fall into a huge panic.

"Son of Liberty" took advantage of the chaos, rushed into the Governor's Mansion, and kidnapped Sir Fogel according to the scheduled plan.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Edmund Fogel hurriedly used the "transformation technique" to become a maid in the house, and hurriedly changed into a woman's clothes in an attempt to get through.

As soon as Edmund Fogel escaped from the Governor's Mansion through the back door, he was caught upright by the "Sons of Liberty" who were secretly watching, and he was scrutinized as he treated other people who fled the Governor's Mansion.

Edmund Fogel's acting skills were good, and he appropriately displayed the demeanor and behavior of a frightened maid.

If all went well, Sir Fogel should have passed the level safely, but Fate made a malicious joke with him, and he was so rushed during the dressing that he forgot to change his shoes.

Just when the investigators were about to release him, Xiao Miao, Azhi, Benny, and Allen happened to pass by this area, and when they saw the crowd gathered, they came to join in the fun.

The sharp-eyed Catwoman Ranger can see at a glance that the big leather boots worn by the "maid" are not right. He asks for a scroll of "Less True Knowledge" from Alan, and examines the suspicious Governor's Mansion after casting the spell. The maid couldn't help laughing afterwards, exposing his true identity in public.

Xiao Miao and others are middle-level cadres of the "Freedom Sons Association" and are also the on-site commanders of today's demonstration.

The other "sons of freedom" and many more people who were incited by them soon received news that they had caught the culprit, Sir Fogel, and all surrounded them excitedly.

The thugs happily set up the gallows on the street. They originally planned to execute public executions and hang the Governor. Sir Norfolk was still sober at the critical moment. Upon hearing the news, he immediately rushed to the execution ground and urged everyone to remain calm. Just enough.

The "Sons of Liberty" reluctantly accepted Sir Norfolk's advice and took down the gallows, but the death penalty is unavoidable and the living sin cannot escape.

The rioting crowd chanted slogans and escorted Edmund Fogel along the street. Angry people spit at him, threw eggs and rotten tomatoes, and finally threw the insulted governor onto the boat and chased him back to the holy city of Asshan.

In the next two weeks, the colonial assembly held re-elections and Sir Norfolk was restored to office.

Mr. Jefferson, who became famous for publishing the "Overseas Colony Rights Summary", reviewed the situation, resigned from his teaching position and entered politics, and was successfully elected as the chairman of the parliament, becoming the biggest beneficiary of this anti-tax storm.

The first bill introduced by the new Alfheim parliament was to abolish the "land tax" that the imperial authorities tried to collect in the colonies.

At this time, the imperial authorities had devoted all their energy to the war in the Far East. There was no spare force to send troops to suppress the anti-thief in the New World. Prime Minister Claude and his cabinet members were afraid of repeating the mistakes of the Far East in Alfheim and had to pinch their noses. Accepted this established fact.

So far, the colony’s tax resistance movement has achieved a phased victory.

Encouraged by this victory, the militants in Alfheim realized their power and devoted themselves to the movement for colonial independence with redoubled passion.

Throughout the summer of 1625, the "street politics" in Leiden became more and more intense. The "sons of freedom" seemed to have "excited drugs", and their methods became more and more extreme and more violent!
