The coalition forces, who had been temporarily ordered to return to defense, marched to the border in a mighty manner, but this time they were much slower than last time, and this time the people along the way simply took away their own food and fled with their families! Let's
The passing coalition forces had no food to eat at all! Therefore, these soldiers who had gone through many hardships had to eat limited rations every day and march half-starved.
This situation caught the coalition commanders by surprise. The coalition's marching route was fixed, and they tried to pass through as many villages as possible to obtain more food. However, when they passed by, in most cases they saw the entire
All the people in the villages were missing, and no one knew where the food was hidden. Some village chiefs were beaten to death and thrown on the road where the coalition troops were marching, with slogans about Hugo's lackeys written on them.
Immediately afterwards, some coalition forces received a tip, and the villagers ran to the ravines to take refuge. So some soldiers who were going crazy with their stomachs made an incredible move. One night, a group of about fifty people
The soldiers quietly left the army and went to a ravine a few kilometers away from the village. They massacred more than 300 villagers inside, including the elderly, children, women and adults, and stole more than a ton of food.
What was originally thought to have left no survivors was spread to almost every corner of the continent within a day. Atrocities happened again and again, and this time, people were finally angry.
The country where this happened is Rabelais. King Rabelais, who has always been regarded as Hugo's loyal dog by the outside world, suddenly announced that the four-nation coalition forces are the most unpopular people in their country, and they must be responsible for the dead.
And left Rabelais's territory. The common people who dared not speak out in anger at first applauded their king's decision. This king, who had always been called a softie, finally became hardened!
The person who found this incident most incredible was none other than Emperor Hugo.
Jean Valjean knew that King Rabelais was one of his own, because he was the insider who had placed it there. He did not give Jean Valjean any notice about Emperor Rabelais's move this time, perhaps because he was too domestic.
Too confusing?
Emperor Hugo was puzzled.
Of course, doubts are doubts. Emperor Hugo would naturally not let his army leave from there, nor did he believe that the emperor would really let him leave from there. After all, his life had always been in his own hands.
But Emperor Hugo never waited for the other party's response. Not only that, but Rabelais's country was even more chaotic.
Shortly after Emperor Hugo issued the statement, the peasants in the country transferred their original dissatisfaction with the royal family to the coalition forces. There were countless conflicts between the coalition forces and locals in various places. Although the coalition commander repeatedly ordered that no conflict be carried out in any conflict.
No matter what, everyone must maintain restraint. But sometimes, an order is an order, and whether it can be executed or not depends on the endurance of the soldiers.
Obviously, these soldiers who came from a big country to a small country have become accustomed to being domineering, and they absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of cowardice.
Finally, in a continuous conflict, temporary soldiers composed of farmers and coalition soldiers faced off, eventually resulting in the death of a large number of farmers. The death of farmers immediately aroused strong emotions in the country. Some small nobles who usually did not care much about the lives of farmers,
Merchants and the like were also angry at the king's weakness at this time and his words but no actions. They asked the king to immediately send their own troops to drive the coalition forces that oppressed their own people out of Rabelais.
But this time their king was silent.
The only ability of the vegetable shopkeeper who replaced the king is to imitate others. He can imitate everything from appearance to habits. Except for the fact that his memory cannot accurately imitate, most people can't see any difference at all. Even Emperor Hugo did not notice any difference.
Well, keeping silent in this situation and waiting for the situation to calm down on its own is the emperor's usual approach. He thinks that the king has no problem.
The common people of Rabelais, who had always believed that their king would stand up for the people, were completely angry this time. And this time, what happened was not just a riot against the coalition forces. It was a peasant uprising that shocked the entire continent. The result was even more shocking.
It's unimaginable to everyone.
Peasants who felt they had been abandoned united and formed a joint militia, led by a middle-aged village chief whose entire family had been killed. They shouted slogans along the way to regain the lost land by their own strength.
"The king doesn't dare to do it, let's do it!"
This was the only slogan put forward by the village chief. They marched all the way towards the imperial city, and countless farmers responded along the way. Most of Rabelais's domestic soldiers were in the border area, and this time the arrival of the coalition forces was even more...
Rabelais's originally small military base was completely isolated from the imperial city, and a small number of army officers who were ordered to come to persuade them actually switched sides and joined the uprising army after having detailed discussions with the uprising leaders!
By the time they arrived at the Imperial City, the entire peasant uprising team had reached hundreds of thousands of people!
And the residents of Rabelais's Imperial City only amount to this number!
The emperor was finally afraid. He ordered all the gates on all sides of the imperial city to be closed and implemented a curfew in the imperial city. He also shouted to the leaders of the rebel army several times on the city wall, claiming that Hugo was a friend of Rabelais and could be trusted.
Their allies were their own and came to help them. But the more the king said this, the angrier the rebels became. As a result, some earlier rumors about Emperor Rabelais being Hugo's lackey began to surface again.
But this time, in almost two days, the entire rebel army, and even the residents in the city, knew about it. The rebel army began to shoot leaflets into the city with hunting bows and arrows, letting more people know the truth, and called on the city to
people help them.
Perhaps because someone told him about his pain, the king suddenly issued an order and announced that no one was allowed to keep or spread those leaflets privately. Once discovered, he would be immediately punished on the spot for treason. At first, some people did not believe it, but after a few days, someone really
A batch of more than 20 people were executed, and people discovered that the emperor seemed to be really crazy.
Panic formed in the country, and the emperor actually killed his own people for the sake of Hugo's army. This finally led to the final result.
One night, the city defense troops who were also angry at what the emperor had done quietly opened the city gate and let the peasant rebels who had been surrounding the city into the imperial city. No one knew who gave the order.
It was opened quietly, and hundreds of thousands of angry farmers, instigated by some people who didn't know where to appear, rushed towards the palace madly. The king, who was still sleeping, immediately ordered the city defense troops to attack the angry farmers.
They, but what he didn't expect was that the city defense troops not only failed to carry out the emperor's order, but instead helped the peasants to open the gate of the palace and launch an attack!
The helpless emperor could only activate the ultimate defensive barrier of the palace with the help of the royal guards. Once the barrier was activated, the rebels who besieged the palace almost burned down the entire imperial city in anger!
This national defense barrier has an obvious Hugo mark on it! It is something that only Hugo can create! And the cost of building a national defense barrier is extremely expensive. If there is no dirty blood between Hugo and the emperor, it will not be possible at all.
It's not worth them spending so much manpower and material resources to create a defense system for this small country.
Once the defense system was opened, the rebels had no way to continue to vent their anger. So, under the leadership of some army generals, those who were preparing to attack the palace began to turn their attention to the coalition forces.
On the other hand, Emperor Hugo has been paying attention to the progress of the entire situation. He has never thought about why those honest farmers would do such a thing, nor that they would have the courage to invest in such a thing.
But what he least expected was that the king would actually raise the defensive barrier to save his life.
Although this may expose the relationship between himself and Hugo, it can also be used to prevaricate the past with certain reasons. He does not care what will happen in Rabelais's country or what the peasants will do to their king. He is now
There was only one purpose, and that was to find out what that man wanted. He suspected that there was a shadow of a certain man behind those farmers. What's more, it was the bastard who was behind it!
But no matter what, he must make a decision now. There is a secret letter on his desk, which was delivered to him through a certain channel. And the person who wrote this secret letter is the person hiding in
The king inside the tortoise shell. In the secret letter, he briefly stated his allegiance to himself, including the unfavorable handling of domestic affairs. He hoped that Emperor Hugo could send their allied forces in the country to help maintain order and repatriate the peasants.
Of course, although the expression in the language was like this, Emperor Hugo could certainly see the specific meaning of the letter, which was that he wanted to help that country to suppress it.
This is a true or false question. He has to make a decision, whether to do it or not.
Emperor Rabelais has always been his most loyal lackey. He will never do anything that goes against him. The king is as timid as he is famous for his greed. The reason why he can always live in the palace
To a large extent, this means that he can get the country's heavy taxes. He is a rich man living among a group of poor people. He does not want his money to disappear like this in an irresistible catastrophe for farmers.
