138. We Surrender!
In Wang Dong's plan, he has long considered the intervention of his own province and the high-level of the kingdom, generally speaking, in a city like Marat, which is far away from the center of the Sorat Kingdom, those big people don't particularly care, as long as the new city lord gives them enough filial piety and enough taxes, it doesn't matter who will be the city lord.
As long as Wang Dong can successfully capture Marat City and take control of the city, the two provincial legions that support April will immediately turn back, and if he can't get the gold coins, the Falcon Mercenary Group will also abandon him.
Moreover, Wang Dong also asked Charles to go to Candace, the provincial capital, to do his activities for him, and correct the support of more big people.
So, the key is to take Marat, as long as you take it, everything is easy to say.
"My lord, let's attack the city!" said loudly, the bear man slapped his broken leaf scale armor, and his eagerness to try it was very much appreciated by Wang Dong.
Patting the bear man, Wang Dong said: "Every brother is precious, there is no need to waste our precious troops on such an occasion." ”
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Wang Dong closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and quieted down.
"Dean, I heard that you have found a good wife, the daughter of the city lord's uncle has given you a chance to be appreciated by him, hehe, I just don't know what April will think if he knows that you have a mistress outside the house behind his cousin's back, and then hook up with the city lord's wife. ”
Wang Dong's words were like a thunderbolt, making Dean's face turn white in an instant, his power came from April, but after these two things were exposed, Aprilil would definitely kill him as long as he still had a little face.
There was a roar of rage from the top of the city, and an old man with a somewhat similar face to April's face smashed at Dean with his cane, and the chaos was instantly.
"Baron Leander, as a small detachment leader, don't you follow your boss Yin Wensi closely and go to the City Lord's Mansion every day to do something? Oh, by the way, Aprill promised to let you be the commander when he gets Evans away, right?"
Beside Evans, an officer in rudimentary armor turned pale and trembled under Evans's stern gaze, and finally fainted.
"Sheriff Garfield, is your wife okay now? I wonder if she is still used to living in the bedroom of the city lord? It is estimated that the speed of your promotion in the whole Marat is the fastest, from a city guard small soldier company to a middle and high-ranking sheriff, it will take others decades, you can complete it in three years, it is estimated that your lady's bed work must be very good." ”
"Haha......"
There was a burst of laughter from the city, and a flushed young man stomped his foot heavily, turned around and ran downstairs, it is estimated that this guy is usually very arrogant because of his special relationship with the city lord, and some people are naturally unaccustomed to it at this time.
......
Wang Dong stopped talking and stopped talking about these seemingly lace news, because the big men in the city had already looked solemn and seemed to be particularly nervous.
"Everyone, do you still need me to continue?" Wang Dong said lightly: "I can tell the deepest secret in each of your hearts, are you sure you want me to talk about it?"
Wang Dong is threatening every high-level of Marat, which of these people has no dirty secrets, when Wang Dong turns up these deepest sludges and receives the sun, the stench emitted is enough to completely destroy a person from beginning to end.
Dean will surely lose his patron, Leander will certainly be ostracized by Evans, Garfield will certainly be spurned by the whole bureaucracy, and simply put, they will be relegated to the lowest stratum of Marat.
Wang Dong continued: "Everyone, after you open the city gates, I can guarantee that you can still control some interests, and you can still live a rich and fine upper-class life, and most people can still have a title that is glorious enough." ”
First a stick, and then a turnip, what the clone politicians on Earth taught Wang Dong did not forget at all.
Evans glanced left and right, gritted his teeth and stared at Wang Dong for a long time, and finally sighed, summoned a herald, and after a while, a basket was put down at the head of the city, and an elderly bureaucrat wearing glasses sat down in the basket, and then walked towards Wang Dong.
As soon as Bell saw the man, he immediately turned over and dismounted, walked over quickly, and after saluting, he helped him to Wang Dong.
"James, this is Adrian, Marat's Director of Education, and my Head Start teacher. ”
In Bell's introduction, Wang Dong also turned over and dismounted, looking at the old man carefully.
He was different from the bureaucrats in Marat, his blue eyes were extremely clear, and he had a spirit that did not match his age, and there seemed to be a stubborn fire burning in his eyes.
Wang Dong shook hands with the old man with a smile and said with a smile: "Mr. Adrian, it's a good thing." ”
Adrian also shook hands with Wang Dong, sighed and said, "Bell has talked about you many times, and he always said that you have a lot of wonderful ideas, if it weren't for this situation, we would definitely have a good conversation." Well, that aside, as a representative of Evans and other colleagues, we hope that Mr. James Wang will promise us the following: the safety of the lives and property of officials at all levels. ”
Wang Dong replied without thinking, "Yes, after the orc legion enters the city, it will not enter any private residence without my order. ”
"They want to maintain their current position. ”
Wang Dong was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Most people's rights will be retained, but I will also adjust the official positions of some people as needed, however, please rest assured, human affairs are solved by humans, I will not let orcs deal with human affairs, nor will humans deal with orc affairs." However, the rights of some people need to be adjusted. Please tell Commander Evans that I will still keep the City Guard, but in the near future, the City Guard must be temporarily guarded by the Orc Legion, and when April is dealt with, the City Guard will be under his command again. Mr. Adrian, this is my bottom line, if they refuse I can only attack. ”
The old man sighed and said, "I'll go tell them." ”
With that, Adrian saluted and turned back to the city.
It didn't take long for Wang Dong to see the soldiers on the city wall put away their weapons one after another and gradually disappeared into the city.
The gates of the city slowly opened with an unpleasant "creaking" sound, and Evans, escorted by soldiers holding white flags, rode towards Wang Dong.
When he arrived in front of Wang Dong, Yin Wensi turned over and dismounted, untied the saber at his waist, raised it flat above his head, and moved forward respectfully.
"Lord James Wang, please accept the surrender of Yin Wensi Bosa on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of Marat!"
......
When Wang Dong took the sword representing surrender with one hand, there was an earth-shattering cheer behind him, and the howl of the orcs shook Wang Dong's eardrums.
Voices such as "Long live Lord James-Wang!" and "Legion Commander mighty!" came and went.
Wang Dong shook his head with a smile, helped Yin Wensi, who was bent at ninety degrees, and said in a harmonious voice: "No one is a loser today, it is April's tyranny that has caused the orcs to revolt, and it has also led to the rebellion of many righteous officials in Marat, represented by His Excellency Evans, so today you are our companions, and today is a great day for us to overthrow Aprilil together." ”
Wang Dong's words made the eyes of Yin Wensi and the bureaucrats who followed him light up, and after Wang Dong said this, all the blame for the conflict was put on April, and they went from losers to heroes who overturned the guarantee.
A kind of powerful people gathered around Wang Dong, and Evans said loudly, "We have overthrown the reign of terror of the evil former city lord April, under the leadership of the wise James-King City Lord, and let Aprilil be free and liberated!"
"Yes, yes, Lord James Wang is wise and wise, with both ability and political integrity, and is the best candidate to become the city lord!"
......
For a while, the real praise and false sycophants surrounded Wang Dong, and Bell was dizzy and whispered to the teacher standing outside the bureaucratic circle: "It was right that I chose the wrong leader at the beginning, and how deep my mind must be to say that black is white." ”
Adrian glanced at Bell and said, "So, I was right when I said that although you are a little cautious, you will never be a politician, James Wang said this to unite those bureaucrats who used to work under April, some of them were transferred from other places, if you add a note to your resume that 'surrender to a foreigner for some reason in a certain year and month' will bring a lot of trouble to their political career, Wang Dong has now changed the surrender to ' 'Rebelling against tyranny', turning the defeat into glory, do you think these people will not be grateful? This James King must be a great politician, no, a politician. ”
Adrian looked at Bell with burning eyes, like a craftsman who had discovered a rare treasure, his hands rubbing back and forth.
......
"Brush!"
The orcs entered the south gate in four long rows with neat steps, their boots stomping the ground and making a rhythmic "brush!" sound.
The streets were empty, and Wang Dong could still see a few shoes that had fallen off, representing how hurried the owner was when he ran away.
The frightened gaze behind the door and window is what Wang Dong can feel, human beings are almost innate in fear of the orcs, seeing the burly body of the bear man and the sharp fangs of the leopard man, any ordinary person will be afraid, plus those bards always sing that the orcs want to conquer humans, and the orcs want to eat people and other stories are even more terrifying.
Wang Dong once asked Corwin if the orcs wanted to conquer the human race, and the Corwin asked very strangely, "What do we do to conquer the human race?" The gorgeous clothes and wonderful tools of the human beings certainly attract the orcs, but the orcs are more inclined to trade with those caravans in exchange for these things, rather than by force to seize them, fools know that fighting will kill people, is it necessary to fight for a piece of clothing?"
