Chapter 133: Arming

Eugens and Hornby were originally nothing more than broken aristocrats, but they won Gurlitt's appreciation with a little cleverness, and after helping Gurlitt kill his father and seize power, Gurlitt was appointed as the Treasurer and the Administrator of Administration.

These two people relied on Gurlit's favor to be arrogant and domineering, framing their colleagues for their own selfish desires, and they were the initiators of Gurlit's harsh government.

The officials who entered the City Lord's Mansion not only did not feel frightened when they saw these two people being dragged out like dead dogs by the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion, but felt very happy.

After everyone was invited, Mullen entered the ballroom accompanied by Anna.

This time Anna did not appear as the head of Maren's guards, Anna, who was dressed in an evening dress, held Marlen's arm, and knew at a glance that she was going to be the heroine of this ball.

A black court-style evening dress makes Anna more mysterious, the slender waist shows the perfect curve of the S-shape, and the white back is revealed from the backless evening dress, with Anna's glamorous face, it attracts almost everyone's attention as soon as it appears.

Mullen and Anna walked to the podium together, and tapped lightly on the magic megaphone, and as soon as the beeping stopped, the noise in the audience suddenly became quiet.

Obviously satisfied with this effect, Mullen looked at the crowd looking down at him and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, let me introduce myself, I am Maren Buffett, the grandson of Viscount Derack Buffett, the Minister of Etiquette of the Kingdom and the new Grand Duke of Roland. I think everyone has understood what happened today, and from today onwards, Youlan City will be ruled by my Roland Grand Duke Maren Buffett. ”

"You are all important figures in Youlan City, I am holding this ball today just to meet everyone, only when we understand each other can we manage Youlan City better. But I don't have any black sheep here, and I don't welcome treacherous ministers like Eugens and Hornby who only exploit the people and frame their colleagues. Just now, I have seized all the important minions of Gurlit, and I will rehabilitate the officials who were persecuted during the reign of Gurlit, according to their ability, and I will revoke all the tyranny that Gurlitt has established. ”

The faces of the group of people in the audience were happy about Mullen's promise, and it seemed that the tyranny of Gurlitt had caused a lot of harm to the people present, and the tyranny of deposing Gurlitt made the people below obviously relieved, after all, how torturous life was.

Seeing the expressions of the people below, Malen obviously spat out a sentence, and then said: "The business is over, I announce that the dance party will start now." ”

As soon as Mullen's words fell, a piece of music rang out in the hall.

Holding a prom is actually Anna's meaning, she said that this way can better communicate with the officials of Youlan City, but watching Anna shuttle freely at the prom, Malen feels that Anna's biggest purpose in encouraging her to hold a prom may be to have her own dance addiction.

Mullen, whether in his previous life or in this life, knows nine out of ten about ballroom dancing - he doesn't know anything, and he is pulled by Anna to shuttle on the dance floor, usually stepping on Anna's shoes after a few steps, and the angry Anna always says that Mullen is stupid.

However, after all, this dance party is not just for the sake of dancing addiction, Mullen clumsily danced for a while and then took Anna off the dance floor, and under Selwin's introduction, he met with some important ministers of Gloomy City who opposed Gullit's rule in the adjacent conference hall.

The first to meet with the Attorney General, Bradley Nivenas, and his wife, Anna took Bradley's wife to another place to chat, leaving the three big men to discuss things.

After the three of them sat down, Maren said to Bradley straight to the point: "I want to smoothly take over the government affairs of Youlan City, and even I want to unify the entire Lott Plain and restore my principality, so I need your allegiance." ”

Bradley smiled: "Can His Royal Highness tell me what makes you have so much confidence?" ”

Hearing Bradley's slightly mocking questioning, Mullen calmly responded, "With the tens of thousands of Warcraft troops under my command and the tens of thousands of troops outside the city. ”

Bradley sneered and said, "Your Highness's Warcraft army is many, but the level is too low, and it can't reach the tenths of the Warcraft army of His Majesty the genius Druid Mofate Zams. Although the army outside the city gathered the essence of the entire Youlan City, large and small, it was now just a rabble with elite combat skills. ”

Regarding Bradley's disdain, Malen said noncommittally and lightly: "The level problem of Warcraft can increase with my level, and the problem of the army can be solved by those officers who have defected to me, so these are not problems." My biggest problem is that I don't have the skills to govern the land I have cultivated, which is a constraint on my development, and His Excellency Bradley, who has been working to restore the glory of the Nevinas, is exactly what I need, so I met with him first. ”

Hearing Mullen's words, Bradley was moved, and Mullen's words revealed the deepest thoughts in his heart.

The ancestor of the Nevinas family was one of the generals who followed Leighton Chartres to fight the world, and was named an earl for his merits, and the country was about two or three hundred miles within a radius of two or three hundred miles from Youlan City, and Youlan City was built by the Nevinas family.

However, the Nevinas family has never had any outstanding characters since then, and the family has gradually declined, and when the kingdom's army withdrew from the Lott Plain, the Nevinas family, which had never relied on it, was gradually replaced by the emerging Baggins family, and even the title was deprived because of the loss of the fiefdom.

Compared with other declining families, the Nevinas family is still relatively lucky, because they voluntarily withdrew from Youlan City, they were not completely wiped out by the Baggins family, and they can save the continuation of the entire family.

Bradley, the current patriarch of the Nevinas family, is the wisest person of the Nevinas family since the first patriarch, and he is not willing to accept the decline of his family and still embark on a career with the hat of a declining nobleman.

Starting as a petty official, Bradley became the justice commissioner of Orchid City for twenty years through his own painstaking management and the respect of the late old city lord Viscount Bilbo Baggins, and became one of the most powerful people in Orchid City.

However, since Gurlitt killed his father, he has always wanted to change the position of the attorney general to his own person, and Bradley's prestige and connections in the judiciary have not directly removed him from his position, but the suppression of Bradley has been continuous, so Bradley's life has not been easy.

Bradley is actually very interested in Mullen's olive branch, but out of the pretending behavior of talented people, the more you want me, the more I hold it.

Thinking that Uncle Liu Huang still had a model of three visits to the thatched house, he was only questioned a little bit and compared to the ability to subdue this internal affairs was just a drizzle, so Mullen didn't take Bradley's disrespect to heart.

Mullen had been observing Bradley's reaction, and when he saw Bradley's intentional statement, he struck while the iron was hot and said: "I am the Grand Duke of Roland in the Lotte Plains, so I have an innate advantage in righteousness; I'm the grandson of Derack Buffett, the Minister of Etiquette, in the capital, so I still have the upper hand in the court. As long as you can be loyal to me, I will introduce you as a minister of the humerus, and you can also put your talents on a bigger stage, so as not to insult your ability to govern the world. ”

After all, Mullen is the superior, although Bradley is a veteran of the sea, and his blood is surging, and compared with the previous situation of being harassed by Gurlit, he immediately stood up from his chair and bowed his head: "Minister Bradley is willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and swear to follow His Royal Highness the Grand Duke." ”

Seeing Bradley like this, Mullen knew that his goal had been achieved, and immediately stood up and helped Bradley to appease him in every possible way, and everyone was happy.

In view of the bitter theory that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Mullen reinstated the former finance director of Glolan City, Quintus Carrirus, who was deposed by Gullit, and the former governor of Orchid City, Apredo Lex, on the second day after the ball.

At the same time, Mullen freed the prisoners who had been imprisoned for their rebellion against Gullit's tyranny, and took some of the food from the granary of the city lord's mansion to support their future survival.

Mullen's benevolent government was supported by the people of Youlan City, and the situation in Youlan City gradually quieted down, and those adventurers who left due to Gullit's rampant conquest also returned to Youlan City, so the shops that had been bleak for several months in Youlan City became prosperous, and the streets of Youlan City also bustled.

For the next month, Mullen practiced fighting and druids while handling government affairs and training troops outside the city.

In terms of political affairs, Mullen completely overthrew all the excesses and miscellaneous taxes during Gurlit's reign, abolished the tax collectors sent to various places, and killed several officials appointed by Gurlit, who were more resentful of the people, and reinstated a large number of officials persecuted by Gurlit.

Mullen has no experience in governing a place, either in his past or present life, so he still relies on Bradley, Quintus, and Appledo in his specific government affairs.

However, as a frequent fan forum, Mullen also has his own ideas in terms of governing the city and the country, so in the general direction of governance, Bradley, Quintus and Appledo have always discussed the implementation methods according to their own ideas.

First of all, Malen has set up a recruitment hall, whether you have superb martial arts skills or excellent governing talents, or you are a magician, as long as you want to join Mullen, you can live in the recruitment hall, waiting for Mullen or the senior management of the government affairs department to test whether you have the talent you said, as long as you pass the test, you can get the corresponding position.

At the same time, Ma Lun set up a tuntian office, which was set up under the government affairs office, which was responsible for gathering the displaced people who had fled due to the war in the jurisdiction of Youlan City in the unclaimed land outside the city, distributing land, seeds and cultivation tools according to each household, and paying taxes according to a certain proportion during the harvest season.

In terms of military affairs, Mullen divided the more than 35,000 troops he had captured into seven buildings, namely the Guards Building and the First to Sixth Buildings.

Mullen selected 4,500 soldiers above the rank 3 sword division and the original 500 guards above the rank 4 sword master from the army to form the Guards, and still appointed Anna, who was only a rank 6 sword master, as the captain.

Later, Mullen completely disorganized the original soldiers and all the soldiers captured during the siege, and divided the army into six buildings according to the method of separating the soldiers of the same town and village as much as possible.

In addition to the early Anderson Six, Mullen also had five seventh-level swordsmen and thirty-three sixth-level swordsmen, all of whom were high-ranking officers of the newly formed army.

The five seventh-level swordsmen, along with Anderson, were appointed as captains, namely:

Anderson is the first captain of the building, a sixth-level swordsman.

Selwyn is the second captain of the building, a seventh-level sword master.

Turanka is the third captain, a seventh-level swordsman, and was originally the first captain of Youlan City.

Badas is the fourth captain of the building, a seventh-level sword master, and was originally a captain of ten thousand under the thirteen towns.

Clement is the fifth captain of the building, a seventh-level sword master, and was originally a commander of ten thousand under the thirteen towns.

Zacharaias is the sixth captain of the building, a seventh-level sword master, and was originally the commander of the first building in Youlan City

The remaining thirty-three sixth-level swordsmen were appointed by Malen as commanders, but seven buildings required thirty-five thousand-commanders, so Mullen appointed the brothers Bagan and Bach, who were at the peak of the fifth-level swordsmanship, as the commanders of the first building, while Fred and Fbrowns were appointed by Mullen as brigade commanders of the guards.

Maren stipulated that only the guards were stationed in Youlan City, and the military camp was placed in the colonel field outside the castle of the city lord's mansion, responsible for guarding the four gates of the city and the city lord's mansion, while the first to sixth buildings were still trained in the military camp outside the city.

A month passed quickly, and Malen's army had initially gained combat effectiveness, and in this month's time, Malen sent people to receive the families of the officers above the brigade commander in his hands to Youlan City, and at the same time ordered the clerk of the army to count the origins of all the officers, and ordered the thirteen towns in one city under the jurisdiction of Youlan City to exempt their families from fifty percent of the taxes.

Because the elite soldiers of the thirteen towns were captured by Malen, and the town could not train qualified soldiers for a while, they also pinched their noses and recognized Malen's orders, lest they would make Malen unhappy and send troops to beg.

Perhaps out of the insecurity of not having soldiers in his hands, the first thing the town lord of the Thirteen Towns did when he returned to the town after the defeat was to continue recruiting and training.

However, the entire Youlan City only has a population of about 1.4 million, of which the young and strong are less than 500,000, and these people can support an army of about 30,000 people at most in the barren Lott Plain, although Youlan City is relatively rich, but at most it can support 50,000 people.
