Chapter 294 The Xinghai Bourgeois Revolution Begins

On October 1696, 10 in the new calendar, a political storm that had been brewing for nearly 17 years finally kicked off.

This coup d'état was unique in its scope and historical influence, so that later generations defined it as the beginning of the modern history of the Star Sea Federation.

All those who participated in this struggle did not hesitate to risk their lives, because they knew that once they lost, they would die, not only their own death, but also their spouses, children, and subordinates...

All those connected with them will be guillotined.

Either life or death, this is the cruelty of political struggle.

On October 10, the queen sent a telegram to her relatives, inviting them to attend a dinner at the palace on October 12 to celebrate the Luna Festival.

Originally, this was an ordinary event, but it became more subtle because of the invitation of an unusual guest.

The unusual guest was Miles Sanchee: the son of Kadir Sanchee and the Queen's cousin.

In the impression of most people, Miles is an honest and dull person with no bad hobbies. He spends all day studying theology in religious books, and his only entertainment is chatting with nearby priests and discussing doctrines.Therefore he was very popular with the church.

When the chubby, pimple-faced young man received the queen's telegram, his face was beaded with sweat and his eyebrows were drawn together tightly.

He carefully read the telegram a dozen times with two eyes of different colors, and after confirming that the queen invited him to the palace, he immediately rushed out to find the priest in the church next door.

He ran in such a hurry that he had neither his coat nor his hat.

"He did go to the priest."

In a private house not far away, Felton was standing by the attic window with a telescope.

"It can be seen that Miles is not as stupid as the rumors say, at least he can still see the danger in the telegram." Louis sat lazily on the chair behind Felton, playing with a deck of cards in his hand.

"Do you think he'll go?" Felton asked.

"This is a dilemma." Louis replied, "If you don't go, you will definitely die; if you go, you will definitely die. The only difference is that one is death reprieve, and the other is immediate execution."

"I bet he won't go. That guy is not that brave, he dare not bet his life on it."

"I don't think he's going either."

"Then there's no way to gamble."

"It doesn't matter, because another gamble is about to start, on the same day as the Luna Festival. The person who was invited is Colonel Schroeder." Louis drew a joke card from the poker, "I bet he will Come!"

After finishing speaking, Louis waved his hand, and the ghost card flew out with a whoosh, and stuck a fly rubbing its hands on the window frame deeply into the wood.

On the 17th, Miles did not go to the palace.

He sent a telegram to the queen, saying that he was sick and had a fever, so he could not participate in this grand event, and he would definitely go to see the queen in person when he recovered.

In addition, he also sent two boxes of red wine and a box of local specialty black truffles to the Queen as gifts for the Luna Festival.

"Confirm the location of the target. If it is at home, arrest it immediately." The Queen sent a secret letter to Felton.

"It seems that the queen has really made up her mind." Felton tore up the secret letter and threw it into the fireplace, then turned around and said to his subordinates, "Everyone, start at [-] o'clock in the morning tonight, arrest Miles and escort him to the headquarters."

"What's the reason?"

"There will be reasons." Felton sneered, "We will never lack reasons."

"It seems that tonight will be an unforgettable night." The subordinate replied.

"That's right, the long-awaited moment has finally come." Felton turned around and looked at the opposite castle.

Although separated by layers of brick walls, he could still see Miles' pale face, and saw him sitting under the lamp with his head folded, shivering.

At 8 o'clock that night, when the queen was holding champagne and elegantly circling among the distinguished guests in formal attire, Felton led troops and sneaked into Violet Village on the border of Garland province. Myers just disguised himself and hid in the In a dilapidated manor in this village.

"I'm really thankful to him. He specially ran to the wilderness and saved us a lot of trouble." Felton said, looking at the manor in the distance with his binoculars.

"The Queen's letter said that he would be arrested only if he was at home, but he is not at home now. Is it okay?" the deputy chief asked.

"You didn't understand what the queen meant. She meant that if Miles hid in the church, we couldn't arrest him, because that would give the church a handle."

"Captain, Miles only brought eight subordinates, all equipped with new-style firearms." A subordinate ran over to report.

"They still trust those weapons too much." Felton said disdainfully, "Eighty people, let alone eight, are not my opponents."

"Remember to save his life." The deputy chief smiled.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the queen's dinner was over.

After all the guests were sent off, Louis came over and whispered in the queen's ear, "Schroeder has come to the capital."

"Very well, keep an eye on him and don't let him escape." The queen said without changing her face.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that he will never leave the capital again in his life." Louis smiled and turned back to the headquarters of the Royal Knights.

"By calling him here as a job report, it really lowered his defensiveness. He must think that I dare not attack him at this time?" The Queen thought to herself, "It's a pity he was wrong. Not only did I dare, And we must arrest him openly!"

At one o'clock in the morning, Felton led his men to rush into the manor where Miles was hiding, and pulled him out of the bed in his sleep.

"Hi, good evening. Duke Sanchee." Felton looked at the terrified Miles and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dreams, please come with me!"

After speaking, Felton stuck a needle in Miles' arm, and Miles collapsed limply.

"Tie him up, put him in the carriage, and take him to the capital immediately." Felton said, putting away the syringe.

"Yes!" The knights under him immediately tied up Miles and carried them to the prepared carriage.

"Where are the others?" The deputy chief asked, looking at the corpses all over the floor.

"Burn it," said Felton expressionlessly.

"OK, I'm going to move the accelerant." The deputy chief snapped his fingers and went downstairs to prepare fuel.

At four o'clock in the afternoon on October 10th, Miles was transported to the capital and placed in the underground cell of the Royal Knights.

At this time, the queen was listening to Schroeder's report in the government affairs hall.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the debriefing ended, and Schroeder returned to the Navy Headquarters.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the queen came to the residence of the Royal Knights to meet her cousin.
