0122 Unification of the three provinces of private salt

Liu Jiang still wanted to argue about something, but after thinking about it, he said: "Okay, just do what the head of the family says, and I'll try it." ”

Liu Pei nodded with satisfaction and then asked Qi Qitao and Wu Yizhou, saying, "How have those newcomers been training recently?" ”

Qi Qitao said: "The newcomers have been able to blend in with the old ones. I've been training a lot lately. They are much more familiar with the battle formation. It should be ready to use! ”

Wu Yizhou continued on the side: "Our former veterans have played a lot of leading roles. Especially those who killed people and took the bounty are trained hard and can lead newcomers. Especially when the recruits knew about their silver bounty, the recruits were very envious! I want to go out again to earn some silver from the owner of the house! ”

Liu Pei laughed and said, "Very good! In these two days, you will start stockpiling supplies. We're going to war soon. ”

Both of them listened excitedly and nodded their heads again and again! Now both of them have been rewarded with 50 acres of land, and the killing energy is enough to do that! Liu Pei continued: "Don't fool me! I'm going to watch the drill the day after tomorrow to test your results during this time. There is a reward for doing well; It's not done well, you two beware of the whip! The two of them assured in unison that such a situation would never occur.

Liu Pei turned his head and asked Wang Chuanhao, saying, "Did I let the news you spread out?" The result? ”

Wang Chuanhao said: "The news has been released, but the effect is not very good. ”

Liu Pei frowned and said, "You can tell me why it's not good first." ”

Wang Chuanhao said: "When the news first came out, some small salt lords and salt merchants were still saving face, and they all came here to report, and they were no longer busy buying goods, probably depending on the direction of the wind." However, there were two big salt barons in the area, who completely ignored us. Those little salt barons looked at them, and many of them went back to sell salt. That's how it looks now. ”

Liu Pei said with a sneer: "Have you asked you to inquire about the place you are looking for?" ”

Wang Chuanhao took out a map in his arms and spread it on the table, and said, "Inquire clearly." You see, the two places circled above are the places where the two big salt lords must go. ”

Liu Pei took the map and looked at it in detail, and asked about the terrain. He said, "Divide the people into two teams and send them out to set up a card here." Cut off all the salt and wait for them to attack. Everyone agreed to go out and get ready.

Huang Jinwu has been engaged in the private salt industry for more than 20 years, and there are more than a dozen men who dare to fight. After he heard the news from Wang Chuanhao a while ago, he went to Fengmeng Town to take a turn, and he was familiar. Then I waited at home to see the wind.

After waiting for a while, he found that Wang Chuanhao didn't have any special moves. Moreover, the two big salt lords in Dengzhou have always gone their own way, and they have not been hit hard. So his courage grew. He felt that maybe it was just Wang Chuanhao's side to scare people. So today I hired porters and carts to transport a batch of salt goods on the road.

He and his subordinates talked and laughed along the way, and walked the small half of the road smoothly. You must know that the salt lords sell all illegal salt, and it is impossible to take the big road. Fortunately, there are many paths, and even many of them are opened up by the salt lords. At this time, Huang Jinwu saw everyone's appearance and knew that everyone was tired of walking, so he said to everyone: "If there is a long way ahead, we will go to the open space where we usually rest, and when we get there, we will rest for a while, eat something and then leave." ”

Everyone was very excited when they heard this, and they all walked faster. As they approached the flat land, they noticed that someone had set up a tent on the flat land. Huang Jinwu is a little strange, how can anyone set up a tent in this broken place? There is no village in front of you, and you can't go to the store in the back! Even the other salt barons only rest here, and they have never seen tents. And the tent doesn't look like an official army. But by this time they had come close and were spotted by the men, and a group of people came up to them. Fortunately, the clothes are not official soldiers. So Huang Jinwu could only wait there with his heart. Still, he ordered everyone to draw their knives and be on guard.

When the team approached, Huang Jinwu breathed a sigh of relief. Because he recognized that the team was Wang Chuanhao. He thought to himself. But a smile appeared on his face and said, "Eh! It's Brother Wang! What a coincidence today, why are you here? ”

Wang Chuanhao smiled and said, "I said that you should come to me to get salt, but you didn't come." I'll have to wait for you here! ”

The only hope left in Huang Jinwu's heart was lost, his face couldn't help but change, and he said, "Brother Wang, what do you mean?" ”

Wang Chuanhao said: "It's not interesting. I see that you have a lot of salt goods, I will save your effort, and I will accept a load of silver of one or two or two dollars! As he spoke, more people slowly gathered together, clapping the neat line with spears in their hands.

Huang Jinwu was stunned when he saw that the other party was overwhelmed. Hurriedly said with a smile: "Just do what Brother Wang said!" But Brother Wang, you also have to understand my suffering! My power in Dengzhou is small, it's nothing. It's just to earn a coolie money! ”

Wang Chuanhao said: "I naturally know this. I won't delay you, after unloading the salt, you will go back and spread the news, and from today onwards, we will send someone to collect the loose salt in the seaside villages. We will also collect the salt from the salt factory, and you can only get it from me in the future! Do you understand? ”

Huang Jinwu knew that he was unlucky today! It can't be beaten, because dozens of people are already around. However, the king passed on Hao's benevolence and righteousness, and gave back the capital, but the porter had to pay for it himself. If he continues to be wordy, maybe Wang Chuanhao will turn his face, and he and a dozen of his subordinates will stay here completely. He had no choice but to unload the salt goods according to Wang Chuanhao's request and go back with hatred.

The news quickly spread to the two big salt lords, and the strength of these two big salt lords was much stronger than that of the evil ones. Everyone has more than 100 strong men in their hands. And the most unfortunate thing is that these two people usually think about merging with each other and become the biggest salt lord in the local area. So the two can't work together. And the two locations chosen by Wang Chuanhao are the roads that the two salt lords each master.

The two salt barons were very angry when they heard the news from Huang Jinwu and several other salt barons who had been intercepted. They all decided to teach Wang Chuanhao a lesson. They each lit up the thugs to rush the cards. He also brought a few loyal little salt lords with him.

But in the case that Liu Jiang used the silver to open the way, those unscrupulous thugs sold all kinds of news. This made Liu Pei prepare in advance. The thugs were greeted by a well-organized procession.

After two successive engagements, the largest group of salt lords was completely defeated. The leaders didn't even save their lives! As soon as the two sides engaged, they could see the difference! The thugs of the salt barons still rushed up in a hurry. But in the battle array, no matter how high their individual martial arts are, it is useless!

At the beginning of the battle, the sword and shield bearers covered the gun formation with shields, and they could also fight back with a slash. And the pikemen are stabbing through the shield wall! There are also firecrackers on both wings! In the far periphery, there are also Wang Chuanhao and Liu Jiang's thugs to press the formation. As long as the thugs of the Salt Owl can't break through the formation for the first time, they will be the ones who fail! All that's left is to chase and kill along the way! It's so easy to fight a battle!

After defeating them, Wang Chuanhao sent special personnel to various seaside villages to collect salt at regular intervals. Because Wang Chuanhao's price of salt collection is fair, and he is not making trouble on the scales, the matter of collecting and dispersing salt is very smooth. As for the salt farms, they were directly blocked by Wang Chuanhao. In addition to the official quota of salt produced in it, the rest is directly received by him. As for the stewards of the salt works, they don't care who owns the salt. Anyway, Wang Chuanhao didn't treat them badly. As for the salt goods leaving the gate of the salt factory, naturally it has nothing to do with them!

In this way, under the coercion of Liu Pei with a knife in one hand and silver in the other, Liu Pei completely mastered all the salt roads in the land of Sanfu in just two or three months. Liu Pei was quite heavy in the process of seizing the salt road! More than 200 people were killed or wounded on the salt owl side. Liu Pei also paid the price of four deaths and six disabilities! This scared the hell out of the crowd! In addition, the salt that Liu Pei sold to everyone was of good quality, the price was fair, and there was no shortage of catties. Therefore, everyone willingly surrendered. So a huge amount of silver began to flow into Liu Pei's pocket.
