This also means that the current tribal alliance is actually very empty, and this is where Candice's opportunity lies.

"kill!"

Just like that, under the horrified eyes of the chiefs of each tribe, a battle actually broke out inside Aru Village, and together with the Renaissance Army outside the city, the tribal alliance was sandwiched from both sides.

Although the combat effectiveness of the troops led by Candice was far inferior to that of the Renaissance Army, and many of them had just taken up arms.

However, they will not attack the main force of the tribal alliance head-on, but will launch sneak attacks from behind them, which does not require such high combat effectiveness.

Finally, under the pincer attack, the defenders who had been relying on the city walls to barely fight against the Renaissance Army, finally couldn't hold on and were defeated, and began to flee into the city.

But Aru Village is only this big, and now that they are defeated, where can they escape to?

Therefore, under the slogan of "surrender but not kill", most of the ordinary soldiers of the tribal alliance, except for some personal soldiers of the clan leaders, dropped their weapons, raised their hands and surrendered to the Renaissance Army.

This also means that after a long siege, Aru Village was finally liberated, and the Renaissance Alliance officially took over control of the Great Red Sand Sea.

Chapter 76: A Few Things About the Rainforest

After liberating Aru Village and taking control of the desert, the Renaissance Alliance did not take advantage of the situation to attack the House of the Order on this side of the rainforest.

Because the development of any thing involves a process of quantitative accumulation.

It may be possible to accelerate it, but if you want to cause a qualitative change, this process is essential.

And now, the positioning of the Renaissance Alliance in the rainforest is in such a state.

Unlike deserts, rainforests can support a much larger population.

Therefore, establishing complete control over the rainforest is much more difficult than the desert.

In the past, the method chosen by the Council of the Church was to cooperate with the rural landlord class and the big capital in the city to jointly establish rule over the people of Xumi.

Nashida naturally could not follow this path. What she wanted was a new Xumi from the countryside to the city, eliminating the exploitative relationship, rather than a House of the Decrees with a new boss.

In order to achieve this, the Renaissance Alliance must be able to truly control the grassroots and have the ability to establish a new administrative system.

But there is still a long way to go for the current revival alliance.

Although the Renaissance Alliance had established a preliminary organizational network in the rainforest in the past, the Renaissance Alliance was ultimately too short.

Even with the help of the gods, the influence of the Renaissance Alliance at the grassroots level of the rainforest has not reached the level that Nashida wants.

Therefore, the solution Nashida proposed was to temporarily slow down the attack on the House of the Decrees and take it step by step.

As the saying goes, Duke Zheng of Zheng defeated Duan in Yan. If you want to destroy him, you must first make him crazy.

The best way to intensify the conflict is to let the House of Religious Orders and the old forces, which are currently at a disadvantage, deal with the situation on their own first.

When public grievances are widespread and people's hearts are mobilized, the Renaissance Alliance will wipe out the old forces in the House of Religious Orders and the vast rural areas in one fell swoop.

Although in this process, there will inevitably be many sacrifices.

But revolution is not a dinner party; some things are inevitable before the exploiters of the old era are completely eliminated.

However, when the new Xumi is established, Nashida will definitely repay these people double.

So with Nashida's order, the cadres lurking in various places in the rainforest began their actions.

Some of them are in rural areas, some in cities, some are farmers and some are workers.

But they all have a common goal, which is to destroy the ruling foundation of the Ordinance House in Xumi at the grassroots level.

The situation in the rainforest today has changed a lot compared to a year ago.

In terms of the most important comparison of strength, the Renaissance Alliance has gradually narrowed the gap with the House of the Order, and even has a tendency to overtake it.

Through the construction of bases, the help of Lanaro and others, and support from the desert, the Renaissance Alliance has established a firm foothold in the mountains north of the rainforest.

And while protecting itself, the Renaissance Alliance can also launch one or two small-scale offensives from time to time, gradually eroding the control area of ​​the House of the Order in the rainforest countryside.

However, faced with the Renaissance Alliance that was openly confronting it in the rainforest, the House of the Decrees had no effective countermeasures.

Due to the two humiliating defeats in Aru Village and Kawanyi, the military strength of the Ministry of Education is now somewhat stretched.

At this moment, they not only have to confront the main force of the Renaissance Army on the Kawanyi front line, but also have to maintain a considerable number of garrisons in various places to ensure order in the rainforest. Finally, even the major transportation lines have to be guarded by special personnel.

After all, the House of the Church is different from the Renaissance Alliance in that it has a good mass base. Wherever it goes, the masses will support it, so there is no need to worry too much about public security.

Because wherever they fought, they liberated the serfs, distributed the land, chopped off the masters' heads, and let the people live a good life.

But when it comes to the House of the Decrees, not only can they not do so, but because of the military defeat in the past six months, they have to increase their exploitation to make up for the losses.

In addition to the original taxes, strange taxes such as "suppression tax" and "training tax" were also levied.

As a result, merchants and business owners in the city were levied a large amount of taxes, and the collection of grain in rural areas was also much greater.

However, due to the weak control of the Ordinances over the countryside, in order to collect these additional taxes, they had to rely on the rural lords and tax farmers.

This leads to a very serious problem.

In order to enrich themselves, these people often impose additional taxes on top of the regulations.

Because as long as they pay enough to the House of Ecclesiastical Affairs, the rest will be theirs.

As a result, in many rural areas where the Council of Eminence could not see, taxes were increased to an awful level.

After all, in the eyes of these people, there is no idea of ​​sustainable development, only sustainable fishing.

Even if the water and heat conditions in the rainforest were better, it couldn't withstand their tossing and turning.

Faced with such a sharp contrast, the farmers all turned to the side of the Renaissance Alliance.

This has enabled the Renaissance Alliance to wage guerrilla warfare against the House of the Order in the rainforest over the past year.

With the help of Lanaro and the villagers, the soldiers of the Restoration Army can move freely in the rainforest and maneuver quickly from one point to another.

The troops of the Order of the Holy Orders, because of their poor organization and unpopularity, could only rely on road supply lines for mobility and ran around in the rainforest.

If they are desperate and want to raid deep into the rainforest, the Renaissance Army will teach them what a talking tree is.

Likewise, and for the same reasons, even in urban areas where the Fatwa ibn al-Adha has the strongest control, its control is slipping.

You have to know that the taxes added by the House of the Fatwa are not only paid by ordinary people, but also by big businessmen and business owners.

Coupled with the previous agreement between the Ministry of Education and Zhidong, the impact of Zhidong's products also brought huge pressure to Xumi's domestic market.

After these people were fleeced by both the Ministry of Education and the Winter Solstice, they naturally wanted to make up for it.

As a result, a wave of "reducing costs and increasing efficiency" has been set off in major cities in Xumi.

All companies are shouting the slogan of "survival" and have begun to increase their exploitation of employees.

First they increased working hours, then reduced salaries on the grounds of "heavy burden on the enterprise", and finally they began to lay off employees, firing workers they considered less important.

A speck of dust from the times is like a mountain when it falls on a person's head.

Faced with the impact of winter commodities, facing rising taxes and declining incomes, and facing the risk of possible unemployment.

Finally, the urban citizens, who have always been considered the core base of the Ordinance Court, began to accumulate considerable resentment, which grew more and more as time went on.

And under this turbulent undercurrent, Xumi finally ushered in another spring.

Chapter 77: The Second Plenary Session of the Alliance

Time flies. Looking at the bustling scene of Aru Village outside the window, Nashida couldn't help but feel emotional.

Two years have passed since she founded the Xumi Renaissance Alliance.

She has experienced a lot in these two years and witnessed the changes in Xumi with her own eyes. Many things from its founding to the present are still vivid in her mind.

"What's going on? It's a day worth celebrating. Why are you suddenly like an old antique, lamenting about life?"

She shook her head, getting rid of the strange feelings in her mind, and smoothed the leaves on her head, and Nashida returned to normal.

Indeed, compared to the original plot, today's Teyvat has begun to move towards another unimagined path.

Strictly speaking, it is normal to express some emotion.

After such a long time, the dragon plague in Mondstadt has been properly resolved, and the blonde traveler and her emergency food are beginning to emerge on this continent.

However, what was somewhat different from the original was that after they arrived in Liyue, they participated in an extremely normal ceremony to summon the immortals and also met the Rock God Morax.

This surprised Nashida a little. It seemed that what she had said to Zhongli before was heard.

After receiving the answer "I don't know", the golden traveler could only continue his journey to find his brother.

However, perhaps due to some corrective factors, or the possible halo of the protagonist, the Traveler still made many friends in Liyue and established many deep bonds.

It is expected that she will go to Inazuma soon.

"Since the old man has chosen to delay his retirement, maybe he will have some ideas about Liyue in the future."

After making a note of this in her mind, Nashida jumped down from the windowsill, tidied up her messy clothes, and then walked out of her room and headed towards the center of Aru Village.

She has important things to do today, so she has to pay attention to the time. Being late is not her style.

Walking with her short legs, Nashida greeted everyone who noticed her along the way, and smiled as she looked at this thriving scene.

As the first big city controlled by the Renaissance Alliance, a lot of resources were naturally invested in Aru Village at a time when the rainforest was in a state of silence.

At the same time, as a reward for the previous uprising, the original residents of Aru Village, led by Candice, also received preferential treatment from the Renaissance Alliance in all aspects.

Politically, Candice was accepted into the Renaissance Alliance, and economically, her private property except for the excess land was retained, and she enjoyed the same treatment as other advanced elements.

In short, it has set an example for other forces in Xumi. As long as you have sufficient united front value, as long as you actively obey the leadership and participate in the revolution, you can still enjoy preferential treatment.

Of course, the Renaissance Alliance did not treat the diehards of the tribal alliance well. Those who deserved to be reformed were sent to labor camps, those who deserved to be hanged were hanged, and all their property was confiscated and distributed to the poor.

Regarding such stark differences in treatment, Nashida said: "It doesn't matter, everyone has a bright future."

...

Nashida's residence was not too far from the center of Aru Village, and even with her short legs, she could quickly reach her destination.

This was originally the meeting hall of the tribal alliance, and it has undergone some renovations after being taken over by the Renaissance Alliance.

The emblems of various tribes that were originally hung outside the building have now all been removed and replaced with a logo that has never been seen before.

There is a grass element symbol in the middle of the logo, surrounded by a circle of golden wheat ears, and below the wheat ears a gear connects the two together.

To use Nashida's words to explain, the grass element symbol in the logo represents the identity of Xumi as the Grass Kingdom, while the gears and wheat ears represent the vast working people of Xumi.

This is the logo designed by Nashida for the Xumi Renaissance Alliance, and it is also the national logo of the new Xumi.

Below this conspicuous sign, there is a banner hanging with the following words.

"Celebrating the successful convening of the second plenary meeting of the Xumi Renaissance Alliance"

That’s right, today is the day when the Renaissance Alliance holds its second plenary meeting, and Nashida is here for this very purpose.

After the liberation of Aru Village, the Renaissance Alliance's war in the desert finally came to an end.

Nashida finally found an opportunity to call the main cadres of the alliance together for a meeting.

It has been exactly two years since the first meeting. The next moment is a critical one for liberating the rainforest, so it is very important to hold a meeting to confirm the future route, plan and program.

As for why it was opened in Aru Village?

All I can say is that this actually reflects Nashida's idea of ​​balancing the desert and the rainforest.

After all, the first meeting of the Renaissance Alliance was held in Xumi City, so the second meeting must be held in the desert.

Aru Village is the largest population center in the desert, so it became the only choice for the meeting place.

"It looks like everyone is on time."

As she entered the venue, Nashida immediately noticed several familiar figures preparing to take their seats.

El Haisen, Senor, Tinari, Dishia, and even Dina Zedai came from the rain forest.

Noticing the arrival of Nashida, the goddess of grass, everyone present immediately stood up and made way for her.

Naturally, she did not refuse and walked straight to her seat.
