An hour later, the floor belonging to the Archon in the Grand Commercial Hall.

Among them are placed portraits, busts of bronze statues, merchant flags...... As long as it is the Quake family, it is ordered to be cleared by Heard.

Then nearly 200 mercenaries surrounded the Grand Commercial Hall.

They were the armed forces of the city that defended the city along with the Teutons.

After a body search, Bran let the three leaders into the main hall of the consul.

Bran sat on a cowhide couch and waited for them to arrive.

"Your Excellency Bran, you must explain to us today's incident, although you are many Teutons, but you only control the surrounding area, our mercenaries, or other armed guards in the Republic, don't all listen to you."

The three mercenary leaders, unceremoniously, also picked a chair and sat down, and even crossed their legs on the table.

Now it's time to start enveloping the people, first settling them, and then breaking them down in batches.

Bran knew that they didn't care who was in power, but wanted higher profits.

"Your Excellency, your business is getting better and better, and there are more and more mercenaries, but what about us? Ordered by Albert's government to participate in the war, nearly forty percent of the dead and wounded, and so far we have not been given the cost of resettlement, and I demand that it be honored immediately, otherwise, today's conference hall will be stained with blood!"

Naked threats.

After this leader finished speaking, the other two mercenary leaders also agreed.

Bran didn't speak, got up and walked out the window, looking out the window at the unfinished statue of Lady Meghan.

The three leaders saw Bran's slow appearance and kicked the table over.

"Three leaders, please don't be angry, Your Highness has 'summoned' you this time to cooperate."

The tripartite leader didn't notice Hilde's strange language, and continued to ask, "How do you cooperate?"

"First of all, the country's armed forces are divided into three parts, the army, which is dominated by noble private soldiers, mercenary groups, and standing armies.

However, the number of standing troops is not large, because this is a large expenditure on the finances, and the noble private soldiers are the private subordinates of the chambers of commerce, and they will not take care of other people's affairs, so the maintenance of law and order and the war, with the hired mercenary group to contribute the most.

But this kind of risk is also great, it is impossible to unify training and scheduling, each mercenary group has its own thing, if a unified army can be established, and the security of Meath and even the border can be maintained in all aspects, it will greatly improve efficiency. “

The mercenary leaders looked at each other, and one of them said, "That means you're going to eat us and replace them all with the Teutonic Black Eagle Banner?"

Hilde did not respond to this sentence, and also looked at the sand table on the table, comparing it to the sea off the coast of eastern Italy.

"As for the navy, our army has a total of large and small ships..... After the last war, most of the losses were lost, and the business power was greatly reduced, and it also needed to be re-established. “

"That's enough, what you said is what the consul should consider, we don't understand, the employment of a mercenary, each person per month is now this number."

Seeing the gestures of the leaders, Hilde calculated in his heart that they had raised the price by thirty percent, but in the end, it also ended up in the pockets of several leaders.

Hilde scolded these leaders for being greedy.

He glanced at Bran, who seemed to be absent from his thoughts.

Holding a glass wine glass, drink slowly.

Carol and Desley pushed the door and walked in, and the two fierce gods asked the three originally majestic leaders to immediately put down their cocked legs.

"Your Highness, it's done, go to Meghan's territory this morning and take down that guard, this person resists, so bring him back to see Your Highness."

Carol shouted to the mercenaries outside to bring in a gift box, and when she opened it, it was the head of a city knight.

"You!"

The three leaders immediately got up and grabbed their long swords, Bran's style of taking people's heads if they disagreed was too crazy compared to those methods of using various crimes, placing opponents on them, and finally sentencing.

"Didn't you just think that Mrs. Meghan's guards would come to rescue her? That's why you pay for the land with me.

Now that her most powerful captain is here, which of you wants to go down and accompany him?" Bran drank it down.

Then the glass was flicked, and the glass fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"You three pick it up." Bran gave the order.

Carol also aimed the big sword in his hand at the leaders, and the tiger roared, "Pick it up!"

Carol, who didn't have a mask, the scars on her face were too terrifying, just like a hellish ghost, this kind of ferocity, the three leaders couldn't resist it, so they carefully picked up a piece and started it.

Bran walked back to the main table, poured two more glasses, one for Carol and one for himself, and said slowly, "You have all killed many people, and when the sword in your hand pierces the enemy's belly, are you afraid?"

Now take a piece carefully? Is it because you're afraid? No, you know that there is a risk of bloodshed.

A good wine glass can be filled with wine, and it can be held in your hand at will, which is very safe.

The armament of the republic, as it is, is scattered and shattered at the slightest touch.

Integrate all the armed forces, and we are a perfect wine glass, which can hold our own wine, take it at will, or go to other people's wine!

I have done the math, to consolidate the strength of all the troops, to give the number of troops, to pay them in a fixed proportion, to reduce the private soldiers of the parliamentarians and nobles, and to re-establish a new armament system, which will reduce expenditure and increase efficiency.

Isn't it good that when everyone listens to a command, they can support each other and help each other?

You don't want to be annexed, do you think a mercenary leader is great?

Do you feel free?

What were your men doing when you weren't on the march?

Holding farm tools to farm, the loess is facing the sky.

Working as a bodyguard in a tavern, he paid for alcohol on credit, and fought with others for women.

Escorting mountain cargo? When you come back a few months later, your wife is in someone else's bed?

As for you, you are a more advanced thug, and the master gives him a lot of money, so you will give your life to whomever you want.

Over the decades, there have been six mercenary groups in the Meates, and it will always be the merchant aristocracy who holds the lifeblood of the city, not you.

I don't need you to understand, sign the decree I want to restructure, and everything you want will be slowly obtained, and you will become an official officer of the standing army of the republic, and if you make meritorious service, you will also be given the title of nobility.

When the land expands, I will give you the actual ownership of the estate, and your sons and grandsons will be rich and worry-free.

If you don't sign it, feel free to go out, and before the sun goes down, I will send you to hear the Lord's grace. “

Hilde listened quietly, he could say these words, but when he said it, he was not as proud as Bran, and he secretly figured out the lord's speech and tone.

He is very confident, and after a while, he will also be the lord of a city......

The three leaders all expected each other's objections, but the three looked at each other and became more and more timid.

And Bran's words are quite reasonable, the conditions are excellent, much better than Meghan's old woman.

The three mercenary leaders asked for them to discuss for a while, and Bran agreed, leaving the chamber for them.

"Remember to clean up the pieces." Bran wears a mask and disappears from the Grand Commercial Hall.

Anyway, Mrs. Meghan is a former president, and she and Albert are now under house arrest in the family's luxurious home.

When Bran's carriage passed, he didn't go down to look at it, but let people pass by.

Now the Quake family's mansion is full of Teutonic soldiers on the outside.

The living shall not enter.

The food supply was changed to two meals a day.

The servants were all imprisoned, and the men of Bran Manor were to serve them.

Soon after, the Teutonic Order will take on a new look and take to the stage of the Republic.

On this day, Bran's carriage changed places and stopped at many places, visiting many nobles and prominent dignitaries in the city.

In the name of the new government, he wants to reform the country.

Another day later, the number of people who have publicly expressed support for the new government has been overwhelming.

Bran gave a death order, and no one could go to the Quake family without his consent.

Goou, who assassinated Bran, was the same as when he betrayed the Pavey family and caused them to be hanged.

Hanged in prison.

Bran then disbanded Albert's hoarded raw materials and returned them to the city, and gave them a small gift package to the nobles.

The clergy value faith, the aristocracy covets land, but everyone loves gold.

With sweetness, the speed of change in the hearts of the people in the city accelerated.

Bran took action to reduce the prices of wheat, soybeans, soybeans, and barley, these four food products by half.

These are attributed to the generosity of the new administration.

The Quake family, who are unable to complete the delivery of the two goods in the north, will face compensation, and these funds will naturally fall into Bran's belt.

One after the other, Bran swallowed up a large amount of the Quake family's wealth.

There was always a voice in his head telling him, "Don't give the enemy any chance, don't be soft-hearted, delicious honey will be tomorrow's poison......"

Bran became more and more suspicious, and he didn't like anyone except a few close ones.

The sixth day of the election of the new government.

Inshi. Feng Ke went to the church to receive the award.

At this time, there were many relatives on the family table who had not been masked for a long time.

Some aristocrats privately laughed and said that when a lonely person is successful, he will have so many relatives that he can not use all his fingers and toes.

On the first day, "the devil is about to take over the city." ”

The next day: "The crazy old nobleman, rule us." ”

Day 3: "Ignorant fools, issued a decree of ignorance."

Day 4: "The Feng Ke family returns to power. “

Day 5: "Inshi. Feng Ke was loved by all the nobles. “

Day 6: "The Great Ruling will be crowned today!"

He glued a long beard, took the crown and ring of the righteous standard-bearer, and accepted the ruling papers.

Beside him stood Demri, a bouquet of flowers for himself as a waiter.

There were people inside and outside the church, and the last time Albert was elected, he couldn't squeeze in, so he could only watch the ceremony from afar.

This time he became the protagonist, and he almost followed the example of last time and publicly announced that he would hold a "big competition".

However, the Teutonic people were there, and he slowly digested the idea of getting carried away for a while, and he understood that as long as he could do a good job of chess pieces, he could live a worry-free life.

When the ceremony was over, he said to Hilde, "Now, I will go back to my ancestral house at once, I will marry, I will give birth to ten or eight of him, and then let my children receive a good aristocratic education......"

Hilde watched him leave, and his heart did not look down on such laziness and comfort.

Thereafter, unless necessary, because of the Shi. Feng Ke never went to the big conference hall again, and lived a very smooth life.

When Bran heard this, he reminded his subordinates and said, "Those who keep their duty will be protected by the Charman family forever." “

Inshi. Feng Ke finally lived to the reign of Bran's grandson.

When you hear the edict of the "Fourth Crusade" issued by the sovereign.

Although he was blind, the servant helped him and carried a cane, and went out of the court, and increased the forty silver roubles that Bran had given him that year to four hundred.

In the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

That was many, many years later......
