At the beginning of the gathering, it was naturally a military parade ceremony to show off the strength of Hongmen, which was already a routine when Hongmen summoned the public to come to the party.

The military parade is not only a simple display of muscles to the outside world, but also a declaration of the changes made over the years to the inward allies and the general public, so that they have more confidence in Hongmen itself.

And this time the military parade, there are many changes, the indigenous warrior is no longer a single individual appeared at the Hongmen military parade, since the Laike tribe took the initiative to return to the Hongmen, became the existence of the Hongmen leadership, most of the tribes who were originally only Hongmen vassals have also followed the practice of the Laike tribe, and took the initiative to join the Hongmen, in addition to retaining a certain amount of autonomous administrative rights, the rest are on par with the Hongmen.

Affected by this, the high-level leaders of Hongmen, who were guided by the situation, also pocketed the indigenous army, and used the advantages of the other party to form a mountain force and an archer force with the indigenous people as the main body, and waited for the military parade to appear in the middle of this time.

First, this display was a gesture to the still stubborn tribes of the Bengang Alliance, and the Hongmen began to prepare to no longer hide their vigorous ambitions, and were about to close the net; Second, it also hopes to use the presence of indigenous people to inform other allies that they do not discriminate.

Of course, in addition, there are more shocking new ordnance and army appearances, field artillery units, flintlock spear troops, etc., which have not been shown in the previous military parades, but in this military parade, they all appeared in front of everyone.

Many people of Hongmen who came to Bengang to participate in this grand event were fortunate to witness all this, but they also felt that Hongmen was powerful at the same time, and at the same time, they were born with a sense of heartfelt pride, after all, they were all part of Hongmen.

Not to mention the representatives of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce who came from afar, as well as the Western businessmen who got the news and came without asking, who was not stunned and thoughtful!

The subsequent gathering topics, in addition to moving out in advance the settlement matters that should have been placed at the end of the year, everyone received the benefits of working together in the past few months, and at the same time there were arrangements for the next few years, which were naturally expected by everyone.

The most important topic was not said by Li Tianyang, who personally stepped onto the main podium, until the last day of the conference, which immediately shocked the hearts of all parties present, but they also felt that it was logical.

"The northern Jurchen barbarians entered the country, and the Ming royal family went south to avoid disaster and moved back to accompany the capital Ying Tianfu, these things are already known to everyone."

Li Tianyang stood on the main podium, less nervous and flustered when he stepped on the podium at the beginning of the year, and appeared more calm and atmospheric, and his loud voice spread far and wide in the specially built vaulted meeting hall and reached the ears of every member of the meeting.

"Today I am not the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, but in my capacity as the master of the Hongmen Gate, the next thing to say is more related to our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and Bengang Alliance, but it will also damage the interests of the Ming Dynasty, so please keep it strictly confidential, otherwise I will represent the rest of the members and punish the rebels who leaked the news!!"

As soon as he came up, Li Tianyang first put forward a request, although he did not say anything about the substantive punishment, but the sonorous and powerful military parade ceremony a few days ago was still vivid, so everyone had already given everyone great vigilance, so everyone responded one after another, and everyone was in awe.

"The northern ground of the Ming Dynasty has always been a forbidden area for local merchants in the north before, and there are not many channels for our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to intervene in it.

"However, with the Jurchens now stepping into it, the Ming Dynasty government is incompetent all the way south, and the northern gentry who have migrated with it have now had a lot of disputes with our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the south for the sake of interests, and the proprietors of the Nanyang families present must also be very upset!"

These words are actually a big truth, since the center of the Ming Dynasty court went south to Yingtianfu, along with the court to the south, there are many gentry from all sides with great energy and strength in the north, as well as the various businesses led and presided over by the gentry.

After experiencing the panic and loss at the beginning, more than half a year has passed, and after these big landlords and gentry in the north are familiar with the southern environment and begin to take root in the south, the first thing they do is to start using the power of the court they influence, from the southern merchants and gentry to be injured, and want to seek their own interests.

The original balance of Jiangnan commerce was broken, and in the end it brought about the integration and conflict of turbulent interests, and if you want to restore peace, you need to use all the power in your hands to fight each other with a result.

The base camp was originally in Jiangnan and other Nanyang chambers of commerce, and in this invasion of foreign merchants from the north, the interests were greatly violated, and the loss of interests caused by this period should not be underestimated.

This time, Hongmen held a party with the vassals around him, on the one hand, it was natural that Li Tianyang and their Hongmen had other actions, wanting to show to the vassals and allies present; Second, I actually received a plea from many members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, hoping to come up with a solution for all of them.

"The northerners control the power of the central part of the imperial court, so that all the proprietors here are afraid that they will touch the mold! To be honest, my strength in the imperial court is not very strong, except for a few allies who have some friendship with His Majesty, the rest of the central cabinet and the like don't even have friendship, so my Qixintang has lost a lot of benefits in the past half a year. ”

"But Jiangnan is the base camp of our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce after all, how can they let their northern merchants come over and be presumptuous, even if they have a relationship with the center of the imperial court, but we are not vegetarian in the local government!"

"The first thing I want to do is to discuss with the big guys how to fight the northerners and make up for the loss of interests before!!"

“…………”

This topic alone occupied the morning time, so that the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce who attended the meeting actively jumped on the stage to put forward suggestions and solutions, everyone expressed their opinions, checked and filled in the gaps, and soon worked out a practical plan.

After all, the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce have been accustomed to cooperating with each other over the years, and they have formed an inherent way of cooperation with each other, and they have a lot of experience in how to use each other's advantages and channels.
