262. Raiders of the City Lord
The development of the rebel army is very rapid, it is only half a month, and most of the nobles in Syracuse have been convinced, but this persuasion is just ordinary words, those nobles cannot directly participate in the uprising, at most they are only helping a little in secret, if the rebel army is suddenly wiped out by the empire one day, then these nobles can still confidently say that they are actually victims.
Lin Han, the leader of the rebel army, walked into Syracuse openly, directly came to the aristocratic district in Syracuse, and walked to the largest mansion, and in the mansion, a banquet between nobles was being held at this time, and most of the nobles in Syracuse were already seated in the banquet, walking around from time to time to chat with people about business or something, and on the stage of the banquet, there were more than a dozen Miaoman girls dancing the hottest dance.
"Warrior is here!"
These nobles were all nobles who had been pulled into the rebel army, so they also knew that the leader of the rebel army was actually Lin Han, who was declared a traitor by the empire some time ago, and he was not surprised when he saw Lin Han, and even stepped forward to greet him very welcomely.
"Warrior Kane!For the people!" A fat nobleman walked in front of Lin Han, and the fat on his face was wrinkled together, "Our group of nobles are all nobles for the people, so we will gather here today." ”
Lin Han had seen the image of this nobleman, and the person in front of him was the leader of a new nobleman in Syracuse, although the title was not high, but he was a thorn in the side of all the conservative old nobles.
This nobleman controlled thirty percent of the trade of the northern kingdom, and his new noble club together even controlled seventy percent of the trade, and of the remaining twenty percent of the trade was in the hands of various scattered small merchants, and the last bit was the trade of the old nobles.
The old nobles looked down on the merchants, the former nobles generally raised private soldiers, built a castle, and then ate the aristocratic gold allocated by the state, but since the northern country was unified by the empire, the life of the nobles was not as good as before, those old nobles wanted to do some business, but the new nobles started early, resulting in the trade of the entire northern country was seized by the new nobles, so the life of the old nobles was not good.
To raise a bunch of servants, the noble gold won by their ancestors in the country by virtue of their merits has also disappeared because the country was unified by the empire, and now most of them can only hold each other, and experience grabbing some market share under the hands of new nobles.
Only three or four of the old nobles joined the rebel army, and they all wanted to join the new nobles' club, hoping to get a little soup to drink.
"Is everyone here at today's party?" Lin Han, as the biggest boss, sat down in the first place with confidence, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked everyone in the audience.
"Those who have come and those who have not come are the lackeys of imperialism. The fat nobleman nodded beside Lin Han, looking like a traitor of the earth.
Speaking of which, in fact, the slogans of the rebels are not so attractive, and most of the reason why these nobles choose to help the rebels is simply that the newly promoted missionary governor has learned Lin Chang's hypnotic magic, so these nobles will unknowingly trust the rebels and agree with the slogans of the rebels.
However, the hypnotic magic of the missionary governor is not powerful, at most it only makes these nobles agree with the slogans of the rebel army and the like, and it does not make these nobles stupidly support the rebel army, the important thing is that the missionary governor's speech ability is really superb, at least let these nobles see the benefits that are even several times higher than the risk.
"Next, we're going to take Syracuse. Lin Han frowned slightly, and asked the nobles in the audience, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"The army came in under our cover, and then killed the city lord, and if we show our attitude again, Syracuse will naturally become the pocket of our rebel army. One of the nobles smiled and stroked the beard that had grown up on his chin, but even with the long beard on his face, he was actually only in his twenties, "No matter what we do, the other nobles of Syracuse will not dare to resist." ”
"But in that case, the Empire will definitely send troops to suppress us. Lin Han frowned and thought carefully, "There is still a gap between our army and the empire's army, if the empire gets serious, we will definitely not be able to resist." ”
The rabbit head was not here, and Lin Han was very cautious when he made the decision, for fear that he would accidentally make a decision that would plunge the rebel army into the abyss.
"Maybe you can secretly control the city?" another nobleman spoke, this nobleman was dressed very elegantly, dressed in a noble costume similar to the suit of the earth, with a slender and slender figure, and elegant manners, and at a glance he thought that this person was very educated, "Assassinate the city lord, and then support a nobleman to power." ”
"But the city lord's daughter is not easy to handle. The nobleman's eyebrows were very similar to those of a woman, but his voice was deep and hoarse, and the tarmac on his chest made him know at a glance that he was an orthodox man.
"You woman knows a lot? Wouldn't it be better to just kill and occupy it! The empire's army is so far away, even if it comes to us, it will be half a year later! At that time, we won't be able to deal with the army of more than 100,000 people?"
"I'm a man. The puppet nobleman glanced at him with a cold face, but he didn't care, just sat back in his chair.
It seems that the neutral beauty that prevails on the earth is not working here.
Lin Han secretly laughed and decided to promote neutral beauty here.
"Do as you say, assassinate, take its place, and control it secretly. Lin Han nodded, agreeing with the statement of the pseudo-lady nobleman.
The title of the puppet nobleman should not be high, although he is well-dressed, but he does not have the rigidity of the old nobles, he should be a little nobleman who is not very popular and his business is not very good.
"But this one can't choose anyone else, it's better to let the city lord continue to be the city lord. Lin Han had already thought of who should be used to replace the city lord, so he directly asked these nobles, "Which of you knows more about the city lord?
Immediately, a nobleman stood up and said to Lin Han: "Warrior Kane, although the city lord has not directly posted a recruitment notice now, but in fact, he has been recruiting personal servants all year round, and his temper is very short, those servants generally only live for a month or two, so he is currently very short of personal servants." ”
"I have a job in the City Lord's Mansion, and I know the City Lord well, I can write a report to you. ”
"Leave the matter of installing the servants to me, and the city lord will never have any suspicions. ”
One by one, the nobles used their connections for many years to start talking about what they could help.
"Very well, then tomorrow I will bring someone in, put that person in, wait a week, and try to be on high ground within a week. Lin Han nodded with satisfaction. [.]
