Under the forced administrative order, the empire's finances quickly returned to normal. In this round of competition, the empire defeated the remaining feudal aristocrats, wealthy merchants and other reactionary forces in other parts of the empire. They were asked to understand what the dictatorship of the Holy Sylvanian Empire was called.

After that, some of these guys accepted their lives dejectedly, hoping to shake their tails very frequently in exchange for some leftovers of meat and bones. Of course, more noble and wealthy businessmen were even more resentful to the Sylvanian Empire government and wanted the empire to collapse soon.

These guys who held grudges against the Empire were divided into two parts, and some of them refused to go to the government to serve again. They took boycotts against the various policies of the Empire. They looked at the only resources they had as important as what they were, but they were unwilling to develop them. Although these people had different appearances and behaviors, they could all be called a general term. That is, non-violent non-cooperation.

And the other part is naturally the "violence" that is opposite to non-violence.

After this round of looting, those who had lost their families and had their wives and their children naturally had an indelible hatred for the empire. Especially those who did not participate in the previous act of indiscriminately issuing bad money and thought they were innocent. It is natural for them to start organizing, or joining secret associations or rebellious armed forces against the empire. After the temporary management measures were implemented in August, in September, secret associations against the empire's rule grew more and more. They spread rumors, attacked the army, and sabotaged them. In October, this activity reached its first peak.

In the middle of the empire with the strongest power of the old nobles, the three provinces of Tarabek, Hock and Miranden, organized large-scale riots began. They selected a relative of Duke Tarabek who had died in the war, and supported him as Duke Tarabek and the Emperor of the Sigma Empire. They armed the knights who were loyal to them, hired a large number of mercenaries, and a large number of imperial veterans who had lost their jobs because of the end of the war. Based on these men and horses, a large number of civilians were entangled, and a "100,000 army" was organized.

These people got up quite quickly. Speaking of which, the number and organization of this person are quite considerable. Although a lot of money was lost due to the large-scale plundering of the empire before, these nobles are still in the foundation. Raising military expenses and supplies is not a problem. When the war just ended, it is not very difficult to collect a batch of weapons. The time to choose is also very good. The turmoil is about to subside, but it has not yet completely calmed down. The empire began to control the people's hearts, but it has not been able to fully grasp the time. It can be said that they are the biggest. It may also be the last opportunity.

It's just a pity. Although the timing is right, the people are wrong. I mean that there is no outstanding talent among the people involved in this riot who can integrate all these forces. There is not even some basic military talents. Therefore, such an activity did not cause me too much trouble in the end. It can only be said to be a...well, not a big or small episode.

That's it. After breaking through a town, these people immediately announced that the Sigma Empire was successfully restored and then began to fight for power and profit. The titles of the imperial prime minister and the Grand Marshal were thrown away like cabbage. The various dukes of the Sigma Empire were also divided up. Those guys even gave me the title of "Duke of Sylvania". Then they wrote to ask me to "receive allegiance to the real emperor." Their behavior of being even more crazy than a madman really surprised me for a while.

Then there was nothing. I felt that I was teased and quickly sent a reorganized division, which was the only active division in the empire that had reached the imperial system standards after two military reforms, to the central province of the empire to suppress the rebellion. It was said that it was to avenge personal revenge or kill a warning to a hundred. In short, the suppression of the riots this time was quite bloody. The "Emperor of the Sigma Empire" who directly participated in the rebellion and dozens of dukes, marshals, prime ministers, and their relatives were indeed confiscated and exterminated the family. They also adopted extreme policies for the "100,000-strong army" empire.

Except for a few who were quick to see the opportunity and took the initiative to surrender were taken to the mines in the endless mountains for "labor transformation", the others were killed in the battle, regardless of whether they surrendered or not. And in the process of suppressing the rebellion, the number of innocent people was involved in the war and died in a considerable number. The conservative estimate was more than 300,000.

After the riot was learned, a large number of defeated soldiers either went up the mountains and into the forest and became bandits, or lurked among the people. At that time, the three provinces in the central empire's external roads were all blocked by the empire's army. They were sent by the empire and were not allowed to leave. The emperors and soldiers went door to door to investigate and interrogate. In this process, the turmoil, resistance, and even trauma were brought to the back of death. Rape and other acts occurred frequently. They either died at the hands of the rebels or were killed by the emperor's "stream bullets". A large number of innocent people died in these three provinces.

Just like this, the three central provinces, which were originally stable, were almost turned into white land. More than one million casualties, more than five million homeless people, and more than 20 million war refugees... It was not until February 19400 that the large-scale unrest caused by the riot ended. While the opponents of the empire were completely crushed, the empire also carried a huge financial burden again. This can be said to be a good and a bad thing.

Louise repeatedly complained about financial tensions... Of course, it was also possible that she deliberately found an excuse to wander around in front of me. I felt that for these guys, it might not be possible to simply use suppression methods. Although I could easily crush them all without any obstacles. But at the same time, my country would probably become scattered.
