Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

The 30,000 troops of the Purple Cloud Empire began to approach the Xuanwu Capital, and the royal family tried in vain to suppress this mob rebellion through these 30,000 people.

However, two major news came at the same time and made the royal family directly blinded.

First of all, the same mob riots broke out in many parts of the Murong Kingdom, the Murong royal family was captured, a prince with a relatively bad character was publicly hanged at the palace gate, and the other members were humanhumanely sentenced to labor reform and ideological education.

Revolutions also broke out in various parts of the Xuanwu Principality, and several city-states fell.

This is a big piece of news, which should have pleased the royal family, after all, it directly dealt a devastating blow to the monopoly power of a kingdom and a principality.

But the problem is that TM's Murong Capital is garrisoned

by 30,000 people, although there are no muskets, but 30,000 elite guards! Mob? Are you sure it was a mob riot? This is the first reaction of the royal family, although the royal family very much hopes that these noble forces will be damaged, but the problem is that you are so damaged, I am a little afraid!

The question is how did the mob manage to occupy Murong Du, which was garrisoned by a full 30,000 people?

Soon the answer to the question reached the royal family.

The second big news

: the mob has muskets!

Royal Family:

details of the Xuanwudu mob riot were quickly found out by the spies, and the mob with a musket occupied the Guogong Mansion.

They had not only guns, but also earthen cannons.

Miners and peasants crushed the noble knights with muskets, and then smashed down the gates of the nobles' castles with cannons.

The royal family of the Purple Cloud Empire was shocked, where did these mobs get their muskets? How could there be so many muskets?

In addition to shock and panic, the loyal prime minister did not ask the little emperor for the first time after receiving the news, he urgently ordered a large number of troops to be stationed near Kyoto, and carried out a large search of Kyoto.

The mob has a gun in his hand, which is better than the weapons and equipment of the imperial army, and if there is a riot in the imperial capital, the palace may be breached.

The troops stationed in Kyoto immediately searched the entire city, and happened to come across an arms dealer carrying arms abroad.

Originally, the merchants of the Federation had the privilege of being exempted from inspection, but they unfortunately ran into a stubborn general who forcibly inspected the caravan, and sure enough, as he guessed, the caravan was transporting arms abroad.

Enraged upon hearing this, the royal family immediately ordered the seizure of the munitions factory to which the merchant belonged.

What shocked the royal family even more was that they found as many as 20,000 guns that had not yet been shipped out of this munitions factory complex, and 20,000 guns had not yet been shipped out of this factory group

alone The prime minister had noticed the strangeness of these arms dealers before, because it was clear that he had not placed many orders with them, and that they were slow to deliver, saying that a factory could only produce 1,000 guns a month, but now it was directly found that there were tens of thousands .....of guns in stock alone

The Prime Minister angrily wanted to hold the Federation accountable, but on the same day he seized the factory, the federal mission took the first step to question the royal family and came up with a treaty stating that all production work in the federal factory was in accordance with the law.

The prime minister then asked about the sale of guns by federal factories to civilians..... This is always a violation of the law! Not to mention anything else, at least tax evasion is possible

! In this regard, the federal mission has put forward a new concept:

mutual gifts! These civilians have given minerals to themselves, and they are not allowed to give some guns, cannons, and other gifts in return.

Giving each other away is not considered a transaction, it doesn't need to go through your hands, and you don't need to pay taxes...... I don't need to inform you!

This answer directly made the prime minister angry, what kind of reason is this? The angry prime minister directly ordered the federal mission to be placed under house arrest.

However, the Prime Minister quickly understood the wise saying of the Federation:

"Truth is only within the range of artillery",

and on the seventh day after the House Arrest of the Federal Mission, the Prime Minister received the news that the Union army was approaching the border and conducting a drill.

To the Prime Minister's shock, three days before the news arrived, the mission under house arrest told the Prime Minister that our army had arrived at the southern border and was conducting military exercises.

And by the time when the scouts came, they found the enemy approaching the border three days ago.

With the musket as a foreshadowing, the cabinet thinkers of the imperial court quickly deduced that this was some kind of mortal magic made up by the Federation.

During the discussion of the think tanks, one of the think tanks said something that silenced everyone: "No matter what it is, whether it exists or not, in short, the army of the Federation is on the border at this time." "

There is no doubt that the situation in the empire is precarious.

Most of the Empire's resources were invested in infrastructure and no weaponry was developed, resulting in only a few tens of thousands of regular troops equipped with muskets, and thousands more were issued to the city guards below.

In addition, there were only 500 cannons, not equipped with flowering shells, all solid shells, most of which were armed in the fortresses on the border.

Not to mention that the number of these weapons and equipment is not more than that of the Federation, just to say that the Federation can easily sell these guns to the royal family and the mob, it is enough to show that the Federation has more or stronger weapons and equipment.

Not to mention the Federation, let's talk about the mob, and now the number of guns in the hands of these mobs is probably more than the number of the Imperial Imperial Family.

In other words, the empire is not even able to suppress the mob now.

Not to mention offending the mysterious country of the North that made them sign all kinds of treaties.

They have the strength to not occupy their territory, which shows that they disdain to occupy it, which is what the wise men said about the Federation when they advised the emperor.

So in the end, the Imperial Family had to compromise with the Federation, release the seized officials and merchants, and "beg" the Federation to stop supporting the mob and stop selling guns and gunpowder to the mob.

And begged to continue to establish cooperation with the Federation, to be able to buy guns from the Federation.
