Therefore, the Allied National Salvation Army, which suffered a double blow in a short period of time, had to stop and retreat back to Lower Normandy. However, at this time, there was another big problem within the National Salvation Alliance; several important generals were secretly induced and bribed by the Burgundian dynasty.
Under the guarantee and testimony provided by the interventionist commander of the Holy Kingdom, the Grand Master of the Knights of Santiago, they successively accepted the titles, official positions and fiefdoms offered by the Burgundian dynasty; and then launched rebellion and mutiny in the Condé city. Most members of the National Salvation League were arrested.
The former Generalissimo Motiler, who was known to be victorious in every battle and had great prestige, was also assassinated and seriously injured during the rebellion, thus losing his ability to control the army. The National Salvation Alliance, which had won many battles, fell into fragments and was quickly defeated or surrendered.
Only a small number of die-hard followers of the Generalissimo were left to lead the remnants, and they continued to fight in the province of Lower Normandy and 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 Strait of La Manche, which is the closest point between the British Isles and the mainland, also has a temporary defensive void. Therefore, there is some unknown news claiming that troops from the Seven Kingdoms have successfully landed in the nearest country of Calais.
Therefore, the forces of the northwest princes standing behind the National Salvation Alliance Committee, including the Counties of the Netherlands, the Duchy of Brabant, the Counties of Avato, the Counties of Flanders, the Viscounty of Bouvines, the City Alliance of Bruges, etc., Serious fluctuations and divisions also occurred, even in Seine City.
In addition, according to another piece of information that Senior Rafaro, in his capacity as a royal attendant/royal secretary, also secretly bribed/inquired about; it was that the dynasty intended to use marriage and a large amount of money to obtain funds from the Avar Khanate. Eastern forces such as the Huns and the Bulgar Kingdom hired troops.
As a result, the Burgundian dynasty entrusted bankers and large business groups in the capital to issue the fifth batch of bonds since its succession; at the same time, it 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, exchange them for original Corolla coins.
As collateral, there are several large crowns/royal territories currently controlled by the Burgundian Dynasty, as well as several other grand dukes originally located in the provinces of Champagne, Upper and Lower Burgundy, Picardy, and Elden. fief. As a result, the dynasty continued to enfeoff a large number of new nobles.
Moreover, it is the kind of real nobles who grant land and fiefs, instead of the past nobles with honorary titles and ranks. However, this also caused a fierce backlash from the old aristocratic group. Therefore, in order to spread a bowl of water, Charles I announced that they could also spend money to purchase fiefs.
So for a time, from the provinces of Indre, Roiret, Loire, and Cher in the Central Plateau to Picardy and the provinces of Upper and Lower Normandy in the north, a large number of villages and towns along the way were decorated with the emblems of their lords; It also led to unrest and riots among the citizens of the Capital Region.
However, this time the Burgundian dynasty had no compromise or politeness. They directly dispatched the Armagnac Corps, the most elite private armed force under the former Grand Duke of Burgundy, and adapted it from the Royal Guards; they vigorously raided and suppressed the middle and high-level officials of the National Guard of the former capital.
Then, regardless of the other party's contribution to supporting and welcoming him, he broke the contract, disbanded and annexed the forty-four regiments of the National Guard, which were mainly composed of ordinary citizens, small traders, guild members and other property owners; Supplement the three major legions that are being rebuilt.
Therefore, relying on the profits harvested from the property confiscation of these wealthy citizens, the Burgundian Dynasty was able to obtain the initial reserves for the issuance of public bonds. But it also caused a lot of public dissatisfaction in the capital region, and people were in confusion, and the roads were in disarray; resistance broke out again in many cities.

However, after the fierce coup changes and unlimited expansion of the subsequent liquidation of the previous governments, whether it was the original royalists, the Chartists, the republicans, or even the most intense liberals, they all suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, nowadays, in the face of the force controlled by the Burgundian dynasty, these spontaneous resistances are only a drop in the bucket. Instead, the Burgundian dynasty tasted the benefits of tyranny, and intensified its tyranny; it even restored the Special Situation Court during the Bloody Terror period when the five great dukes jointly ruled.
The Supreme Judgment Committee is composed of special affairs committee members elected by the three basic ruling classes of robes, swordsmen, and ribbons. Then, the committee designates/appoints a number of people from specific classes and fields to form the court.
This special situation court can take all necessary and due measures against anyone suspected of endangering the dynastic rule while simplifying the traditional royal circuit court and the kingdom's local courts and most litigation procedures, and has follow-up procedures. Right of interpretation.
Therefore, as this special situation court began to operate, various false accusations and accusations inside and outside the city of Seine were increasing 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, because their Haters and rivals also join the court.
Therefore, even Senior Rafaro, who is currently serving in the Royal Court, cannot help but feel a sense of personal crisis; although he is not afraid of having his identity exposed, he is afraid of being framed and falsely accused in the Special Situation Court. Therefore, he has already sent out many related people in advance.
These include professors, teachers and students from the Capital University and various schools; unemployed technicians from Wang's factory, members of wealthy families and guilds, etc., numbering in the hundreds. But this is only the beginning, and there will be more than one wave of escapes on a larger scale.
Of course, it also includes his former benefactor, who is also one of his current secret lovers; a frost-dwelling lady, her children, dozens of relatives, and part of the wealth that was transferred along with it. Just hope that they can be protected and resettled by the Free Army so that they can have peace of mind.
But in any case, this also means that the best window period for the Free Army's relatively calm development and steady expansion in the south is about to completely disappear. Therefore, after a brief discussion, Jiang Tian ordered on the spot: "Mobilize with Toulouse and Brosvan as the centers and prepare to march to Lyon."
So one week after the establishment of the special national salvation government in the south, it was also Juniper Day after the Snow Moon. The 2nd, 4th, and 7th troops have initially completed the refitting and replenishment; a total of three corps, 18 large regiments, 95 companies, and 26,000 soldiers took the oath and set off.
Along the ancient highway in the northeast direction, we passed through Aveyron, Lozère, Ashdale and other provinces; and from the large and small cities along the road, we received pre-collected clothing, quilts, and clothing one after another. The replenishment of winter supplies such as firewood and grease, as well as the auxiliary companies collected on the spot.
Therefore, when the mighty advance army arrived at the city of Midonie, the initial place of the rise of the Free Army in Dron Province, through the ice, snow and cold wind, they received a particularly warm welcome. The number of auxiliary companies supplemented along the provincial route also reached 11,000.
