An inexplicable defeat promises a premeditated victory, and it is said that life is priceless, but life is sometimes as cheap as a weed on the grassland, and a fire can burn it clean. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Once one of the two belligerents in a cold weapon war collapses, that collapse can quickly change the course of the war. The battlefield is full of rebels who have no intention of fighting, completely lost in their own fears, unable to extricate themselves.

When the first "Kneeling Don't Kill" was shouted, the battlefield was almost entirely filled with kneeling rebels, except for those under Wren and Sarcomo's elite knights. In the distance, the city of Mirin resounded with earth-shattering cheers, celebrating the victory of the battle and the end of the entire war.

Sarcomo rode up to Wren and turned and dismounted nimbly, not at all like a sixty-year-old man. He took off his helmet and tucked it under his armpits, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head, "Your Excellency......"

An adult, after a few months, Wren seemed to be relieved to remember something. He also got off his horse, picked up Sarcomo, and said with a smile: "Celeste is going to hate us to death." He had no reason to be unhappy, everything was done according to his plan. Although there were some accidents that he did not expect, on the whole, there were no major mistakes and the standards he expected.

Wren's original plan wasn't the way it is, he originally intended to incite Sean to rebel and then run around the map with him. Let Sean be a fuse, and Wren will be able to raise bandits for self-respect. His goal is to train Sean to be a noble killer, so that he can continue to accumulate strength to take a city, and then Wren will sweep a city, forcing him to continue to take the city until the entire province of Bell is under his command. It's just that he didn't expect that there was a vein of Tiberium hedron hidden between Xiliu City and Venier, which made the aristocratic group of the imperial capital and the De Cochman Chamber of Commerce intervene in it, disrupting his layout.

He wanted an unstable, but within his control, of the province of Bell, not a stable rebel.

Bowen's unexpected desire to capture Wirer gave Wren a chance to break the game. Once Bowen fails, Xiliu City will inevitably be deprived of air defense, and those big nobles in the imperial capital may not be able to resist the temptation of digging Tiberium spars more steadily and secretly, prompting Sean to send troops to capture Xiliu City. So Wren immediately contacted Sarcomo, taking advantage of the grain merchants' desire to form a party some time ago, he took the lead in establishing the Union of Trade Unions, and helped Sean defeat Bowen.

There was also a small accident among them, that is, Bowen actually took the first step to buy the privateer group under Wren's command, and took advantage of the geographical advantage to envelop this group of people under his command, but let Xiliu City hold on for a period of time before it was breached, which indirectly led to the occurrence of the Xiliu City tragedy, and at the same time once again destroyed Wren's plan.

Because Sean is dead, this "bandit" is gone, and the situation will stabilize again. But it just so happened that after the Balatan incident, Sean rebelled, which attracted the attention of Byron's officials. They sent an embassy to contact the nobles privately, intending to rebel against the entire province of Bell. By the way, Wren made a plan and let Sarcomo thread the needle, and simply directly reversed this group of nobles, so that there would be no more accidents. Under the prospect of the Byron's imperial envoys, Sarcomo demonstrated the strength of the Confucians, and finally lured the ambitions of the last nobles of the province of Bell to explode.

Incidentally, Sarcomo also pulled out some ambitious businessmen from the Chamber of Commerce, and asked them to contribute money and troops to send troops, and finally united all the rebel forces into a rope, making them believe that they could really overthrow the sovereignty of Bell Province.

Everything then went according to Wren's plan, completely eliminating all opponents and rebels in such a battle, and purifying the power of the entire province of Bell. There may still be one or two official city lords riding the wall, but Wren believes that as long as they are not stupid, they should know how to do it.

Looking at Sarcomo, Wren smiled and nodded, "From today on, you are His Excellency Baron Sarcomo, and the most important thing you need to do now is to give your family a resounding surname, and then design a majestic flag." ”

Sarcomo's hands trembled with excitement, and his eyes turned red. has done so many "bad things", in the final analysis, in order to step into the circle of nobles. He choked up and said, "I don't know much about these things, so why don't you give my family a resounding surname!"

"It's not quite right. Wren suddenly remembered something, he took out a long scroll sealed with mud from the animal skin bag on the side of the saddle, and handed it over, "This is an amnesty decree from Her Majesty the Imperial Empress Pars, everything you have done during this time will become a legal act, and you don't need to worry about anyone attacking everything you have done." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wren. Sarcomo took the amnesty and cherished it carefully into his arms, he was now truly relieved.

Wren raised his chin, "Come with me." As he spoke, he stepped out, and Sarcomo immediately followed, a step behind Wren, not daring to overstep it.

"Don't dissolve the Coalition of Trade Unions, you continue to be the party leader. Sarcomo's first sentence surprised Sarcomo, who had thought that the trade union party was a trap planted by Wren to clear out the businessmen who disobeyed him, but in retrospect, it was all within Wren's plan. The pardon in his arms squeezed his chest, and a thunderclap suddenly flashed through his head.

Does the amnesty decree mean that the establishment of a party, which seems to be contrary to the rule of the empire, and the existence of this party, have also been pardoned? He looked at Wren's back with a trace of fear in his eyes, could this young man, who was younger than his eldest grandson, really see ten steps away when he took one step? It was too terrifying, how could there be such a terrifying person in this world?

Perhaps, it was a coincidence?

The shadow that all this wanted to linger was embedded deep in Sarcomo's soul, and his head was lowered.

"You are the leader of the party and the initiator, which is a very important qualification. Although you are now an imperial nobleman, you must understand that every inch of benefit, every benefit, has already belonged. So you have the status of nobility, but you do not have the power of nobility. If you want to grab benefits and gain the corresponding status and power, your direction is not in the child's trick of fiefdoms. Wren walked a little slower, and the city of Milin in the distance was vividly visible, and he pointed to the majestic but desolate city, and said, "You see, a city is as great as a crown, but it is also like a prison. ”

"Why is it that the localities can never produce great aristocrats? because the localities deviate from the center and are inherently politically deficient. So the real big nobles were crowded in the imperial capital, and they sought their own interests by interfering in the operation of the entire country. Running a city and a place, your power can only involve hundreds of thousands of people in a city. But the politics of running an entire country can affect the fate of all people in Orlando. ”

"Your future is still in the merchant class, in the trade unions. Wren turned his head, his eyes shining with wisdom, "Killing will not scare the merchants' desire to pursue profits, contact more businessmen, and let the trade union party continue to grow, but at the same time make sure that this party must be firmly in your hands." Your style and methods should also change gradually. Wren glanced down at the weeds on the ground that had been crushed by the horses' hooves, kicked the turf, and turned out a piece of grass roots. "The grain merchants are right, commerce can indeed play a vital role in some aspects, and it can even be used to blackmail the empire. ”

"So you have to pay attention to this and you have to do it well. I know that there will be people who will disobey you, and you don't have to do anything to convince them, for those who are dissent, the destruction from body to soul is faster and more effective. The last time I went to the imperial capital to meet His Majesty Pars, I mentioned the matter of 'royal exclusivity', which is a disguised monopoly transaction, in which there are shocking profits. ”

"You can meddle in this matter, the title of legendary merchant is just the best stepping stone to do this, delineate goods, limit trading, monopolize industries, you must have more experience than me. Once the general trend of the trade union party is established, it is indispensable for you to have the title of a duke, whether you die as a duke or a duke for eternity, it depends on your means. ”

Sarcomo had calmed down at this time, and he listened carefully to Wren's instructions, and the more he listened, the more excited he became. Following Wren's train of thought, his mind began to diverge, and many things came to mind. As a legendary businessman, he said that he was second to business, and absolutely no one dared to say that he was first. Before, he was limited by his preconceived thoughts, but now, he has entered a whole new world, many old things have been broken, and many new ideas are constantly popping up.

He nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I will do this well, and definitely live up to your expectations." ”

"Don't worry, I'll help you if necessary. Wren smiled and patted Sarcomo on the shoulder.

The news of the destruction of the rebels in Bell Province in one day spread like a tsunami to the entire empire, and after hearing the news, Pars, who was far away in the imperial capital, did not feel as relaxed as expected, but his mood became heavier.

Wren's methods are indeed extremely treacherous, such a person exists in Orlando, and as a golden nobleman, the rule of the Orlando family is harmful and unprofitable.

We must find a way to curb his rapidly expanding power! )
