"General, I'll have you this time!"

In the distant Shanxi region, the current second-in-command of the Fan family, Fan Yongkui, the eldest son of Fan Ming, personally visited Liu Liangzuo, the chief soldier of Anhui, and talked with the other party for a long time in his camp, until after dark, he hurriedly said goodbye.

"Don't worry, let's Lao Liu spit and nail it, and the good things will definitely help you do it!"

Liu Liangzuo slapped his chest with a bang, looking like a righteous cloud.

Later, after Fan Yongkui left his camp, Liu Liangzuo called his henchmen over and asked greedily: "How many gifts did they give this time?" ”

"General, this time they have a lot of gold and silver goods, including three boxes of silver ingots and one box of jewelry."

Liu Liangzuo's dog-headed military advisor was also smiling, and reported to Liu Liangzuo with a straight smile.

"Oh!!"

Liu Liangzuo exclaimed, as the chief soldier of Anhui, the power in his hands is not small, but it is the first time he has seen such a bribery method as today!

"But it seems that it will not be easy for them to ask for help this time!"

Turning his head, Liu Liangzuo began to calculate the other party's previous request after gradually stabilizing after the surprise.

And on the border between Anhui and Jiangsu, there is a huge caravan on the official road, slowly moving in the direction of Jiangnan.

This is a huge caravan of seven or eight merchants such as Northern Fan, two surnamed Wang, Jin, Tian and so on, and the carriages in the caravan occupy almost the entire road surface of the official road, and it is not difficult to observe the traces of the wheels embossed on the road surface of the warehouse, and the heaviness of the goods transported on it.

The northerners did not follow the plan of the Hongmen, and as soon as the merchants discovered that the caravan was missing, they gathered together to discuss how to deal with the crisis.

How could a merchant who dared to risk killing his head and went to trade with the mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty and trafficked all kinds of armaments and materials to the Qing people, how could he easily bow down to this group of merchants in the south!

It was not easy to open the iron wall of the southerners, gain a foothold in the moon port, share the dividends of the Age of Discovery, and they still paid for some losses in the face of interests.

Therefore, after receiving the request for help from the shopkeepers of the Yuegang Branch, these Han moths who were rich and wealthy and started with national difficulties and fortunes, after urgent discussion, made a decision on the spot, while letting the Yuegang side find a way to delay time, and on the other hand, everyone communicated with each other, urgently prepared the source of goods, and transported them to the southern Yuegang.

In order to keep it secret, their goods were transported through channels such as Caoyun, and they were directly sent over under the pretext of military rations and other pretexts by bribing and influencing official forces, but the proprietors and members of these businesses who viciously vicious them did not come forward, except when they spent money to deal with the upper and lower levels.

Even the people who escorted the goods have changed from business men and folk gangs to the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, which escorted them on their behalf.

"Master, there is news from Yuegang that Guan Juxiong from Hongmen Qixin Hall has come forward and asked us for compensation with our contract in his hand."

On the way back, Fan Yongkui sat in the carriage and listened to the report of the people who hurried around him.

"How did the old boy reply?"

Fan Yongkui looked up.

"Shopkeeper Tong used the procrastination meter again, and many parties gave us a few more days!"

"Hmph, it's finally jumped out, this time it's really big!"

Fan Yongkui's eyes were very angry, in order to resolve this crisis, their family paid a lot of price, not only lost a batch of priceless goods, and then urgently transported materials, the cost of buying the Ming generals, even their Fan firm, one of the few big merchants in the north, also felt very difficult.

"Yudong is estimated to be in Yuegang soon, I hope he can buy our family some more time!"

This time, I took the relationship between the Hui merchants, and then found Liu Liangzuo, the general soldier of Anhui, and asked him to send troops to escort the materials to Yuegang urgently.

It is not easy for such a batch of goods involving hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to get together, let alone this group of Nanyang merchants and Hongmen who have just risen.

At that time, it will be an opportunity for their northern firm, forcing the other party to come up with the same value of silver to buy these goods, if the other party can't come up with so much silver at once, then it's embarrassing that their northern firm will not be like this group of southerners, grinding and chirping to give themselves a chance to turn around.

Such a scene happened before Guan Juxiong faced the confrontation of many northern merchants, and when Li Tianyang returned to Yuegang, met with the representatives of the merchants of all parties, and talked with each other in detail, the other party's caravan had killed Hangzhou and was rapidly approaching in the direction of Yuegang.

"What? The imperial court suddenly had a large amount of military funds transported to Fujian? How did I not know about this? ”

Such a large caravan movement of the Northern Merchants, even if it was hung under the banner of the imperial court and the military, and entered the Fujian and Zhejiang areas, where Hongmen was the most powerful, if the foreign guard intelligence system could not find such a team, then they would be too useful.

"The subordinates quickly traced the other party's origin as soon as they found this team, and finally found that the army they escorted was from Liu Liangzuo, the general soldier of Anhui, and many people from the Jin merchants and Hui merchants appeared in Liu Liangzuo's military camp earlier."

An Xianming, as the director of the Hongmen Foreign Security Bureau, found out that he was derelict in his duties and had to make amends as soon as possible, and finally found out the other party's possible purpose when the team had not yet entered the boundary of Fujian.

"Check and find out what supplies their team is transporting, and where they are now, and how long it will take for them to appear on the ground of Moon Harbor."

I don't know how long it has been, Li Tianyang didn't feel this panic, the battle above the mall has never seen blood, but it has never been fatal.

If they really want to estimate the worst result according to Li Tianyang's prediction, then with the current reserves of Hongmen and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that they will really not be able to eat such a large batch of goods, and if they use the reserves of Nanyang Bank, I am afraid that it will give the other party the risk of running on the other side, and affect the economic and financial system that they have built up with great difficulty.

In the end, if this batch of materials really belonged to the northern merchants, and they calmly appeared in the Moon Harbor, it not only meant that the original plan of Hongmen and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was frustrated, but also allowed the northern merchants to take advantage of this opportunity to completely gain a foothold in the south and compete with the Southern Chamber of Commerce.

This is what Li Tianyang is not allowed to speak.

"Yes!!"

A categorical voice came out of An Xianming's mouth.
