Chapter 378: Imperial Gladiator (20)

Of course, the city lord was furious, and sent all his soldiers out to patrol the city non-stop, and this thief who came and went without a trace, leaving only a maple leaf as his mark, has become the first thing that has made him sleepless lately.

In the eyes of the city lord, this thief who uses the maple leaf as his mark is actually for money, otherwise, he will not hurt people, but just loot the wealth of these rich families, as long as it is for the wealth, it is not so difficult to deal with.

It's just that he never expected that when he sent all the soldiers out on patrol, this group of people appeared in his mansion unconsciously, and it wasn't until he died that the city lord finally understood that what these thieves really wanted to steal was not the wealth of the rich family, but the power in their own hands.

I got the seal in the hand of the lord of the city, and at the same time I got everything in the city.

Of course, it took a lot of effort to subdue those soldiers, but these things were what Boda was good at, so their first attack was in a lightning-fast situation, but it took ten days to completely control the big city.

They were fast and ruthless, and before the head of the city's barracks could react, the entire city had already changed hands.

After killing the leader of the guards, Ding Zhu and the others easily took over the barracks.

Boda didn't believe that this matter had been done until the seal representing the rights of the army fell into his hands, and he really couldn't believe the results of the current results when he thought of the hard work of the snow monsters they had traveled a long distance outside half a month ago.

Since all of this is the credit of Ding Candle, coupled with the power of faith, Boda naturally gave up the position of city lord to Ding Candle when he took over the military camp.

It's not difficult to take down a city, but it's really very difficult to take down a city, the first thing that is lacking is people, and now all the nobles in the city are under control, Ding Zhu can't believe these people easily, and can only choose people who can be used in the middle class.

The second is to stabilize the people's hearts and minds, and even win over the people's hearts.

She posted a speech in the city's square, this time with a very simple content.

The first is to scold Marcus for his shamelessness and find empathy among all the middle to bottom people.

This is very easy to do, since Marcus can be called a tyrant, in fact, it is not as simple as killing people casually, he is actually extremely harsh on the bottom people of the whole country, the heavy taxes make everyone breathless, and the money is collected to fatten the pockets of all the nobles, as long as you grasp this, it is easy to sway public opinion, and also get the hearts of the people.

Although the people at the bottom have little power, and it is very easy to follow public opinion and deviate, and people's hearts are even easier to control, but the people at the bottom are actually the part that has created the greatest wealth of the empire.

Therefore, these people naturally cannot be let go.

The middle-level people are not particularly concerned about Ding Candle's statement.

And Ding Zhu drew the second big pie for everyone, which is to reduce taxes and give middle-class children the opportunity to serve the city and be recognized in their identity.

Under the long-term tradition, no one wants to be a nobleman, especially these children in the middle level, but it is not so easy to become a nobleman, and now with such an opportunity, it is natural that people will be excited.

However, the vast majority of the middle level is still hesitant, they don't dare to bet easily, not to mention, these people who are now called the Maple Leaf Army look like ordinary rebels.

You must know that Marcus is the smallest in his heart, if these rebel armies are defeated, the nobles of these rebel armies will naturally have no good fruit to eat, even if they will not end up as miserable as the nobles, but they will definitely not be let go easily.

Of course, the most important thing is that they don't believe in the Maple Leaf Army that is now in charge of this city, and they don't believe that they can do what they say and give them the corresponding positions in the middle level, after all, every rebel army is the first to win over the nobles, and they are the most difficult to get ahead.

However, worry is worry, in the vigorous changes in the whole city, there are still some people who have moved their minds and went to Ding Zhu's mansion, and soon they have been given the corresponding orders according to their strengths, very neatly, and these people have immediately taken office, and they have gone to positions that they once dared not think of, those positions that were once firmly grasped by the nobles.

Such a fact stimulated all the middle-level at once, and suddenly almost all the middle-level disciples in the entire city poured out, and they all rushed to Ding Candle's mansion, and Mao recommended himself.

If there was someone who wanted to use it at the beginning, then now Ding Candle has to be carefully selected.

She makes people take exams decently, in fact, she basically doesn't look at these test questions, she only needs to use discrimination to see the attributes of these people, it's already three. The level of discrimination can see all the attributes of these non-aggressive characters, and in their character attributes, it is clearly written what these people are good at, where their shortcomings are, and even their loyalty to the city lord, that is, Ding Candle.

As long as she used these things, she could easily assign them to the most suitable position for his 1000.

These tasks were very tedious, so, before that, she first selected a group of strategists with very high intelligence and loyalty for herself, and with the advice of these people, and explained everything according to the department, and soon the city, which had been suspended for nearly a month, returned to its normal vitality again.

As for the barracks, not to mention, Boda was firmly in his hands, and he packed up a lot of rebellious people, calmed down the turmoil in the army, and entered the huge machinery of the city in step with Ding Candle.

Because they were so quick and quick to react that the city had changed hands without even a cent of the news reaching the Empire, Marcus didn't even know that such a big thing was happening right under his nose, and all his attention was focused on the war with the hostile small nation.

As Ding Zhu said, due to this time difference, they seized this opportunity, recuperated, and began their next plans in the snowy winter.
