Chapter 157: Expansion 7

As for the five thousand elite soldiers that Zhao Hu himself cared about, they didn't put it in the minds of the navy, in their minds, they were just five thousand peasant soldiers who had been trained for three months, and what they cared about were three hundred powerful warriors and one thousand killers.

Because in the minds of the navy, powerful warriors and elusive killers can only bring harm to them and threaten them, and the five thousand soldiers, as soon as the ship leaves, they can only stare dryly.

After some discussion, the East China Sea Army decided to wait and see for the time being, to see what the Zhao family and Donghai County were doing, once the Zhao family had the upper hand, then the East China Sea Army would immediately send people to help the Zhao family, so that after the Zhao family occupied Donghai County, they would be embarrassed to take back all the ports of the East China Sea Army.

But at this moment, their old relationship came to meet the chief leader.

"Lord Jiang Ming, why did you come so early this time? Could it be that there is any big business that made your Jiang Chamber of Commerce go out in advance? The general leader of the East China Sea Army greeted the old relationship very indifferently, but his eyes were on the two attendants behind Jiang Ming.

Without waiting for Jiang Ming to speak, the chief leader pointed to the two attendants and said, "Lord Jiang Ming, who are the two behind you?" No matter how you look at it, it's an adult-level existence. As the words of the chief leader fell, all the sailors present drew their swords and stared at each other.

Jiang Ming broke out in a cold sweat, and he was a little stammering and didn't know how to explain it, while the two attendants smiled indifferently, and at the same time stepped forward and saluted, and the one on the left said: "Chief Leader, down there is Qing Ming, on behalf of the Qiao family master, come to visit!" ”

And the one on the right said even more indifferently: "In Xia Lu Ming." ”

What Qing Ming said earlier, the chief leader just nodded disappreciatively, he naturally knew that this Qiao family was probably one of the masterminds behind the Zhao family's loss of troops, let alone coming to visit him, didn't he just want to make trouble for the Zhao family?

It's just a pity that his side has just known the strength of the Zhao family, and he has just made a decision to favor the Zhao family, so now he just needs to think about how to refuse.

But when the chief leader heard Lu Ming's name, he jumped up and exclaimed, "You are from the Lu family?!"

Lu Ming was very calm, and vaguely nodded proudly and said, "It is the envoy of the Lu family below." ”

The chief leader was directly frozen in place, and some insiders were also frozen in place, only those who did not know the situation looked left and right with each other's faces.

And the representative of the Qiao family on the side, Qing Ming, glanced at Lu Ming with some jealousy, but he couldn't do it, knowing that he was not comparable to others, so he had to look at everyone with a fake smile silently.

The Lu family, a family that is not very well-known among the people, is like thunder in the ears of those who have a heart or the heads of those forces, especially the merchant groups and chambers of commerce and the leaders of the pirate navy who live by sea.

Why? It is only necessary to know that this Lu family controls one-tenth of the economic and trade of the commercial port, controls the economic control of several prosperous sea routes, and more importantly, this Lu family is a generation of high-ranking officials in the previous period of great unification, and its connections can be said to be all over the world.

provoked the Lu family, I don't know how to die, but before he died, he must have been so poor that he couldn't rob the money.

Therefore, the East China Sea Army can not give face to those land lords, and the merchants will also scold them, but in the face of the Lu family, who controls one-tenth of the world's economic power, and has connections all over the world, and also controls the economy of the three waterways, it is really not good not to give face.

It's very simple, as long as the Lu family says a word, no businessman will take the water transportation of the East China Sea Army, which can make the East China Sea Army lose a lot of money, and no businessman dares to take the goods of the East China Sea Army, which makes the materials looted by the East China Sea Army unable to be sold, and no businessman will come to purchase, and the East China Sea Army can only eat by itself!

And more importantly, there will be a naval army to exterminate the East China Sea army to tie up the Lu family.

Therefore, after understanding this, the chief leader changed to a warm smile and asked a little stammeringly: "I don't know what Lord Lu has ordered to come to my East China Sea Army this time?" ”

"It's very simple, please ask the chief leader to assist the lord alliance of Donghai County against the Zhao family." Lu Ming said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

"Lord Lu, I don't know why the Lu family wants to deal with the Zhao family? The Zhao family is strong and should be a very good investment partner. The chief asked with some hesitation.

After he knew the situation of the Zhao family, he really didn't want to go against the Zhao family, as long as he thought about a thousand Zhao family killers with low-level assassin strength, he was a little frightened, not to mention that there were three hundred powerful warriors!

"My Lu family will naturally invest in some family lords, but like this Zhao family, which has suddenly risen and has such a strong strength. But it is not the investment target of my Lu family, and it is better to eliminate such a trouble-stirring character as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the current balance that is barely maintained. Lu Ming said indifferently.

The chief leader was stunned for a moment, and nodded a little suddenly, daring to feel that the current situation is the most beneficial to the Lu family, not only controlling the economic power, but also controlling many lord forces, and now the rapid rise of the Zhao family will definitely damage the interests of their Lu family, and it is impossible to recruit this kind of Zhao family who is in a state of climbing.

The Zhao family has changed from a peasant soldier to a lord, where have you heard of the existence of the Lu family, naturally there is no taboo, and when the Lu family went to recruit them, Zhao Hu of Dafeng Village still scoffed at it.

If I didn't know the strength of the Lu family, I'm afraid I would be the same as the Zhao family, when this Lu family person farts, Lao Tzu's hard-working family business is now thriving, I can't say that it can still be called the status of Taishou, where do you care about your bullshit Lu family!

Want Lao Tzu to surrender? Don't let Lao Tzu know where your Lu family's home is, otherwise Lao Tzu will directly shovel your Lu family's hometown!

It is estimated that the Zhao family treats the Lu family like this, so the Lu family will deign to come here to let their Haidong Navy support the anti-Zhao family alliance.

After understanding this, the general leader of the Haidong Navy has nothing to think about, although the Zhao family is strong, but it is not like the Lu family that can make the East China Sea Army poor to death with a word, so there is no need to think about it, you can only follow the orders of the Lu family and stand on the side of the anti-Zhao family alliance.

So he nodded affirmatively and said, "There is nothing wrong with this, but I don't know how my East China Sea Army can help?" If I send troops, it is not for me to depreciate my own strength, and our East China Sea army will not be able to compete with the soldiers of the Zhao family. ”

"We naturally know this, so your East China Sea army only needs to attack the Zhao family's Lingjiagang, as long as this Lingjiagang is blocked, the Zhao family's lack of trade routes will definitely not last long." Lu Ming said with a good look.

"If that's the case, then I, the East China Sea Army, will take over this mission!" The chief leader said as he patted his chest.

"Great, it won't be long before a merchant ship will send the reward, please believe in my Lu family's generosity." Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

The chief leader smiled, the Lu family is also known for its generosity to the people who help with things, otherwise he would not have patted his chest and agreed.

It's just a pity, because if you really want to talk about generosity, it's still the Zhao family, as long as you make meritorious service, you can get a land reward, and the land reward is very generous, which is something that most family lords can't do.

Those families will naturally be rewarded for their meritorious service, after all, this is the foundation of the family's roots. But the comparison between merit and reward is nothing compared to the Zhao family.

For example, the merit of the soldier killing the enemy leader, the most other families are promoted to the rank of Yulu samurai, and the second time they make such a feat, they will be rewarded with a few stones of land and knowledge.

On the Zhao family's side, it is determined according to the identity of the enemy killed, for example, the soldiers who kill the lord of the Ling family will be directly rewarded as a fifty-stone Zhixing warrior! In such a comparison, you can imagine which one is generous.

But it's a pity that the Zhao family's generosity is only for his own people, and outsiders can't enjoy this kind of generosity.

And the Lu family is said to be very generous to outsiders, but this generosity is just money, weapons, beauties and other things, and the real rewards of the land, the Lu family is impossible to give to outsiders. In the same way, the Lu family's internal rewards are also very harsh like other families.

But it's normal to think about it, the land under the Lu family is only 100,000 stones at most, and it is scattered all over the world, but if you want to talk about money, it is one of the best. However, the Lu family did not dare to use the power of money to expand their territory.

If the Lu family dares to do this, then the families around the Lu family's territory will not care whether your Lu family's retainers are prominent or not, and they will destroy you without saying a word! For the sake of land, fathers, sons, brothers, husbands and wives have a lot of things to do, who cares about a high-ranking Lu family!

After Lu Ming and the chief leader of the East China Sea Army finished discussing the matter, Qing Ming, the representative of the Qiao family, hurriedly said: "Chief leader, on behalf of the Qiao family, I request that the East China Sea Army can assist the Qiao family in attacking Lingwu City after capturing Lingjiagang." ”

The chief leader frowned, and Lu Ming naturally interjected: "If you can help, just help, anyway, the Qiao family will not lose the benefits of the East China Sea Army." ”

"Okay, when we break through Lingjiagang, if you just attack Lingwu City, then we will naturally help, but if we have already captured Lingjiagang, and you have not attacked Lingwu City, then we will not wait, and we will act on our own."

The chief leader is very smart, and directly asked the Qiao family to cooperate with him to act, so he believes that after the two sides are attacked, the defense of the port will definitely be much worse.

Qing Ming naturally knew this, and naturally agreed.

After the matter was thoroughly discussed, the envoys of the two families were in a hurry to return to report and prepare, and left without resting.
