Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 801 The Duke's End
The city of Victoria had just woken up in the morning light, and several military camps in the city had already exploded.

Because leaflets were scattered everywhere in the barracks, and the leaflets were prominently printed, "Overthrow the rule of the aristocracy, we are the masters of our own country!"

I don't know how high the education penetration rate is in Portugal these days. Anyway, there are many people who can understand the leaflets.

As for why the aristocratic rule should be overthrown, many people also know it well.

Moreover, many people have this idea.

The European aristocrats at this moment are indeed nothing. They are born rich and well-fed, and they are caught by the common people who are constantly exploited and squeezed.

There are many ordinary people who suffer from hunger and cold.

Those who come out to help others plunder all kinds of resources are better, and there is no problem with eating enough, but they are eating with their lives!
During the real war, the nobles will not go up. When it comes time to divide the money, most of the money belongs to the nobles.

A cup of coffee for an aristocrat would be worth more than their hard work for a year!

It's good for them to fight abroad, at least they can earn some money if they work hard, but their relatives and friends at home need no land, and most of the money they earn from doing business has to be handed over.

The land is all owned by other nobles, even if you do business from other people's land, you have to pay for it.

As for the injustice of one's wife and daughter being played by the nobles, and if they accidentally offended the nobles, they would be beaten to death, etc., that was even more common.

Some people are already outraged, they just don't know what to do.

The rise of this leaflet attracted them, overthrow the aristocratic rule, and we are the masters of our own house!
Immediately afterwards, the mercenary commander named Desiera described in detail how to overthrow the aristocratic rule and how to be the master of the house.

In fact, this is not difficult, as long as everyone works together to kill the aristocrat's cronies and catch the aristocrat.

De Sierra even recounts what Portugal would look like after the aristocracy was overthrown.

At that time, the land will be their own, and they only need to pay one-twentieth of the tax, and the rest will be their own.

The same goes for doing business, as long as you pay one-twentieth of the tax, you can move freely throughout Portugal.

As for the soldiers who participated in the Portuguese Legion, the treatment was even higher. Not only did each person have nearly half a pound of silver per month, but also several hundred catties of grain.

Who wouldn't want this kind of day?
However, no one dared to do it at the beginning.

Because they are all afraid that if they fail, they will be madly retaliated by the nobles.

They can see these leaflets, and naturally the cronies of the nobles in the barracks can also see them.

Those aristocratic cronies have a group of the most vicious accomplices, and they can't imagine how they will be tortured by others after failure.

At this moment, the confidant of the Duke of Braganza naturally also saw the leaflet, and they were all terrified.

If the subordinates really rise up to resist and come to clean them up, they will be dead!
How to do?
At this time, almost all the cronies of the Duke of Braganza chose to send their accomplices to suppress ordinary soldiers, while they themselves ran frantically to the Governor's Mansion with leaflets.

In the Governor's Mansion, the Duke of Braganza looked at the frightened cronies under his hands, and the hand holding the leaflet couldn't stop shaking.

How to do?
There are only a few hundred of his cronies plus the accomplices he recruited. How can he suppress tens of thousands of ordinary civilian soldiers?
At this time, he was already so frightened that he was at a loss what to do.

Of course he knew what he had done, and what was written in this leaflet were all facts. In the eyes of their nobles, civilians were slaves who were higher than black slaves and native slaves, and they could bully them however they wanted.

Once it falls into the hands of those civilians, there is no need to think about what will happen to him.

How to do?
How to do!
He stood up suddenly, and roared hysterically: "Why are you still standing here, hurry up and stop those untouchables, whoever dares to take the lead in causing trouble, kill!

Go and tell those untouchables that if anyone dares to take the lead in causing trouble, I will not only kill him, but also his whole family! "

Well, that's the only way to go.

kill!

Kill the troublemaker before killing his whole family!
Let's see who dares to make trouble.

It's not that they haven't encountered civilian resistance before, as long as they kill wildly, they will basically be fine.

When the cronies of the Duke of Braganza heard the news, they immediately dispersed.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, civilians really dare not resist the nobles, because the suppression of the nobles is too cruel.

However, this time was different.

Because the public opinion offensive is followed by force deterrence.

While the cronies of the Duke of Braganza were roaring crazily in the barracks and on the city wall, a circle of black spots had faintly appeared outside the city.

Dozens of terrifying warships suddenly appeared outside the port pier.

"Portuguese Legion!"

"The Commander of the Deshaira Legion!"

The big flags gradually became clear as the black dot approached.

It turned out that there really was a Portuguese Legion, and it turned out that there really was a Commander of the Desierra Legion!
At this time, the eyes of the civilian infantry on the city wall had begun to show signs of struggle.

However, it was the military barracks in the city that launched the attack first.

Because as soon as Desilau heard the roar of the cronies of the Duke of Braganza, he understood that these infantry of civilian origin would probably be afraid of revenge and would not dare to resist.

He simply yelled around with his subordinates, and took nearby civilians and businessmen to a military camp to watch around.

These ordinary people picked up the leaflets on the ground and started talking about them.

Suddenly, I don't know who yelled, "Kill them, kill these lackeys of the nobles, kill them and we can be our own masters.

There are so many of you, and you still have weapons, so what are you afraid of? "

The leader came from outside the barracks!
The cronies of the Duke of Braganza never thought of this.

The people outside are densely packed with ordinary civilians. They don't know who is shouting and how to kill them?

While these people were hesitating, Desilau and his men suddenly raised the shields they didn't know where they came from, and shouted: "Let's go up and help, kill!"

More than [-] people held their shields and charged forward, and the surrounding civilians also rushed forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and those hesitant civilian soldiers finally made their move.

There were only a few dozen cronies and accomplices of the Duke of Braganza in this military camp, and Desilao and his men were able to deal with them, not to mention the tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers and civilians who rushed to help.

In a short while, the cronies and accomplices under the Duke of Braganza in this barracks were wiped out.

At this time, Desilao raised his arms again, and rushed towards another military camp with the civilian soldiers in this military camp and the common people watching the excitement.

Soon, the city was in chaos.

Once someone took the lead, the anger of the civilian soldiers and the common people broke out completely.

The military camp in the city was quickly taken down by them, and the civilian soldiers on the city wall also took advantage of the chaos.

The entire city of Victoria was full of roars, "Overthrow the aristocratic rule, and we are the masters of our own country!"

The Duke of Braganza could not help trembling with fright when he heard the roars.

He could only roar hysterically, and asked his guards to block the entrances of the Governor's Mansion.

It's a pity that most of his guards are of civilian origin, so they won't help him block his own people.

Soon, civilian soldiers and ordinary people in the city flocked from all directions, and the civilian soldiers of the Governor's Mansion also immediately turned their guns and rushed in with these people.

Fortunately, Desilau made a timely move, and led his men to stop the embarrassed Duke of Braganza, and shouted: "Everyone, calm down, I am sent by the commander of the Desiella Army to help you.

The head of the Desierra Army said that the Duke of Bragança is still useful, so don't kill him.

Don't worry, Commander De Sierra has led his troops to recover Bahia, where we are already the masters of our own. Everyone can go there to collect their own fields, and the food grown will be as stated on the list. Two Ten taxes and one.

Also, anyone who is willing to join our Portuguese Legion, we will pay you according to the list.

Well, those who want to join the Portuguese Legion can join us and take the Duke of Braganza to see the Commander of the De Sierra Legion. Everyone else should go back and pack up and prepare to go to Bahia. "

After finishing speaking, he directly ordered two of his men to tie up the Duke of Braganza, and then escorted the guy out.

The Duke of Braganza is still in a daze at the moment.

He didn't even know what was going on.

This early in the morning, he had just woken up and hadn't done anything yet, when a group of cronies ran over in panic and stuffed him with a bunch of leaflets.

He had just sent away these cronies and was about to have breakfast when the city began to be in chaos.

Then there is no more then.

Inexplicably, he was tied up and taken out of the governor's mansion and out of the city.

To be honest, he didn't even know why there were so many leaflets popping up in the city all of a sudden, and he didn't even know what the so-called Portuguese Legion Commander De Sierra was.

On the Emperor, Taichang held up the binoculars and looked at the terrified and bewildered expression of the Duke of Braganza, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "How about it, Wen Qi, isn't this public opinion offensive powerful?"

Wen Zhenmeng really did not expect that the power of [-] leaflets would be so great.

How much is that?
If calculated by the size of the paper, these [-] leaflets are not as good as [-] newspapers.

In other words, they spent less than 20 taels of silver in total, captured a duke, took down a city, and even conquered tens of thousands of horses!

The power of this public opinion offensive is really terrifying!

In fact, the general public opinion offensive is not so powerful, and this power depends on external environmental factors.

This is the period when the conflict between European commoners and European nobles is most intensified.

In history, those capitalists who were more insidious than the nobles relied on this to encourage the common people to take control of the political power.

The Duke of Braganza is not bad, Taichang is not as vicious as those capitalists, and he does not want to kill them all.

During this period in history, King Charles I of England and King Louis XVI of France were both pushed to the guillotine by the capitalists behind the scenes and clicked!
