Chapter 378: Spoiling the Situation
Chapter 378: Spoiling the situation
Although there are some people on the side, with the strength of Ye Tao and his party, they can control those few people from the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce at any time, but it is not fun to do so. After leaving Xiling, everyone's hanging hearts relaxed, and now it was the time when they were all holding back their energy to have some fun, and no one mentioned the matter of hurrying to Yanan Port. In Yinan, although it is said that there are hundreds to tens of thousands of soldiers under the hands of those Tusi, and their equipment is becoming more and more sophisticated with the funding of all parties, including Xiling. However, in front of the mixed force composed of the special battalion, Ye Tao's guards, and a group of martial arts experts, there is still no comparison. Entering Yinan, I briefly observed a few tribes that were known to be strong soldiers and could be counted in Yinan, and everyone's expressions were rolling their eyes in unison. If it's not that the other party's strength is too hidden, then everyone's standards for elite soldiers are completely different.
The Beiyi Chamber of Commerce did its best to arrange Ye Tao and his party, and the five people who were sent seemed to be very capable. The deacon named Xie Siyi is a businessman who has been running this route, and he is also a more famous and influential person in the Chamber of Commerce, but there have been some problems recently because of the delivery of several orders, although there is no need to worry that the Xiling household department will owe him money and not pay it back, but for the time being, there is no working capital to do new business. So, when he encountered this incident, he volunteered to join in the fun. For Xie Siyi, he is not very afraid of the other party's strength, but he is afraid that the other party will not know what to do. And after knowing the back and forth negotiations between the Chamber of Commerce and Kanazawa several times, he felt that although this group of people was high-profile, they were actually people who understood very well. He still likes to deal with people like this. And after negotiating with Jin Ze, Liu Yong and others, he became more and more aware that the energy of this group was by no means more than a luxurious caravan and hundreds of skilled guards and miscellaneous servants. And Xie Siyi is also more and more meticulous and thoughtful when he takes care of all kinds of things along the way.
Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum. Ye Tao and Tan Weixin have always treated people like this, because they ran to Yanan this time, it may be a unique journey, and there will never be a second time, Tan Weixin asked Kanazawa to throw the catalog of the things they purchased this time and the list of small and medium-sized traders who provided the source of goods to understand Siyi. By the way, I also gave a copy of the total throughput of various goods in Yanan Port last year. For Tan Weixin, the value of these two things is nothing, but Xie Siyi is like a treasure. It's not a big deal to be able to find some suppliers, but the total throughput table is absolutely high-end information. This kind of information is only available to a few people such as the Samir family and the Nanami Trading Company, and only they have the ability to make such statistics. And such a piece of information can not only make Xie Siyi more targeted when doing business, but also make the layout of the entire chamber of commerce more calm and stable, reducing many risks. And this information, however, also revealed that the main thing about this caravan was by no means an ordinary person.
Really going deep into Yinan, Ye Tao suddenly realized, it turned out that this is not a typical tropical rainforest, at best, it can only be regarded as a lot of tropical plants, it is very likely that the mountain conserves the warm current in it. To say that there are miasma clusters, it is still a bit exaggerated, but the swamps and wetlands are relatively rich, but Yinan is also a place with rich and varied landforms such as plains and savannas. Ye Tao and Tan Weixin looked at the changeable scenery along the way, and praised Yinan as indeed a good place for travel or hunting.
However, on the fifth day of entering Yinan, he had already begun to gradually approach the central area of Yinan, but he began to encounter troubles. A toast with a lot of strength refused to just collect the toll anyway, but wanted to take some of the goods from Ye Tao's caravan, and moreover, it was also a more sensitive material such as medicinal herbs. Judging by the supplies that this tribe began to requisition from various caravans, it is clear that they are preparing for war.
"Mr. Liu, this ...... I'm really sorry. Xie Siyi was a little embarrassed, it turned out that although the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce estimated the difficulties, he didn't expect that the situation in Yinan was still to the extent that he couldn't handle it with the face of the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce and Xie Siyi. The other small caravans would rather break the bank and hand over their things. But Ye Tao's situation in their caravan is different after all, they are the "road maintenance fee" paid to the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce. This is the same as participating in a tour group and saying that the tickets are all-inclusive, but when you arrive at the ground, you suddenly find that the price of tickets has risen, and you have to pay for the passengers, whether it is a tour group or a tourist, you will not be happy. Xie Siyi naturally knew that the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce was ready to serve them comfortably even if it was upside down, but now, the money was not a problem, but now where to find a batch of goods to make up for Ye Tao and them? "This Wang Zhai has always been very good at talking, and the owner of the village is strong and prosperous. Our chamber of commerce has never been delayed here, and even often drinks and chats with Qiang Wangneng to exchange the situation in Yinan, this time I don't know what's wrong, I can't make a special trip to see it. This Wangzhai just refuses to give this face...... What do you think ......? ”
Liu Yong is also thinking about how complicated the situation in Yinan is now. They didn't intend to rely entirely on the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce from the beginning, and although everyone politely cooperated with each other along the way, the spearheads of the special battalion, the scout force with their wings open, and the few guards who cleared the characters behind them never stopped working. In Liu Yong's view, Tan Weixin can naturally decide to cooperate with the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce in a more interesting situation, but he also has the right to decide that he will be able to walk cleanly when he encounters any situation. Those goods or something, and whether they can make money, how much money they can make, I don't care too much about it. Because, in the entire team, only Ye Tao and Tan Weixin must not have an accident. The value of the two of them, if they must be measured in silver taels, I am afraid that the combined weight can be used to build a city with silver bricks.
Liu Yong was thinking, since the situation here was really on the verge of breaking out, it would be better to go straight to Yanan lightly, and wait for the people of the Seven Seas Trading Company to turn around, and go to Nanyang to find Qi Zhentao or other big bosses, but he would not be afraid of any trouble. But after thinking about it, Liu Yong asked: "Since you are familiar with this side, when did Qiang Wang start to become the virtue of this dead thing?" Did anything happen here around those days, did anyone come to meet people? Solve the boss, please ask. I know that this matter is not that your Beiyi Chamber of Commerce deliberately gave us eye medicine, and we can't blame it. The money can be handed out, and it doesn't matter if the things are handed over, but they can't be handed over in vain, and they don't understand. If Qiangwang is playing tricks on us who seem to be rich, we are not fooled. ”
The faint murderous aura revealed in Liu Yong's tone surprised Xie Siyi, but Xie Siyi also understood what Liu Yong meant. He doesn't mind that the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce can't get through this joint, and the good cooperation along the way has made Liu Yong feel the goodwill of the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce; However, they will definitely not be the ones to be slaughtered as wronged, if this Qiang Wang really wants to be strong, they will be ruthless.
And at this moment, Xie Siyi has every reason to believe that Liu Yong is ready to come for real.
Xie Siyi naturally hurried to find a way to find out the news, and didn't let the situation worsen no matter what. Completing his errand smoothly is certainly one of the reasons, but more importantly, it is so as not to poke the basket for the chamber of commerce. No matter what, this time Ye Tao and their caravan were also handled by the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce along the complicated route, even if they knew that the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce could not control the actions of the "employer", but if there was any conflict, then the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce would not be able to escape the blame. Ye Tao and their caravan could leave when they arrived at Yanan Port, but the Beiyi Chamber of Commerce could run away and the monk couldn't run the temple.
"Uncle Liu, don't be so angry." When Xie Siyi left, Liu Yong naturally went upstairs to report to Ye Tao and Tan Weixin. They are now also settled in Zongwang Village, and occupy six large and small stilted buildings in a place specially set aside for business travel in Zongwang Village. The sound insulation of the stilted building has never been very good, just now Liu Yong and Xie Siyi talked, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin were all in their ears.
"Hehe, don't scare him, how can you let him do his best to inquire about things?" Liu Yong said indifferently.
Tan Weixin said helplessly: "Actually, this Wang Zhai, as well as that little Tusi Qiangwang, it is estimated that there is no way to do it now." Looking at the situation in Yinan, it is indeed getting more and more nervous. Didn't the people from the other caravans also say that there were not so many soldiers in the villages on the way forward. ”
Liu Yong nodded and said, "The scouts we sent out also reported that now several big villages in Yinan are fighting hard, and although they can't fight for the time being, they are about to break out. In fact, it is inconvenient for us to directly kill here, otherwise, if the situation is ignited all of a sudden, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach Yanan safely. The better way now is to really change hands on the goods or simply throw them away, and go straight to Yanan with light loads. …… Moreover, the situation in Yanan is probably not simple, whether there can be a downwind boat to take, we don't know here after all. ”
"Proxy wars......" Ye Tao shook his head. If you want to talk about Yinan's current situation, maybe it really has something to do with him. This place has a traditional religious culture, and the Daoming Sect can't get in, but Xiling's forces have always been infiltrating here. Even if the powerful Xiling can't take Yinan into the palm of his hand for a while, there must be a long-term calculation. However, the two big defeats of one south and one north made Xiling have no time to take care of Yinan. And in this case, Yinan, which was already implicating various forces in Dongping, Chunnan, Nanyang, and even the Middle East, immediately reacted. The minds of those toasts in Yinan became active, and the various forces behind them also began to move. Now, Yinan is on the eve of the first major reshuffle. Through this reshuffle, many small tribes will be annexed and destroyed, and several staggered forces will eventually be formed, and manipulating several major forces to play a game is undoubtedly easier and simpler than manipulating a dozen or dozens of forces. At that time, it will be the opportunity to see how well each country in the world wins. It's just that they broke into Yinan at this time, but they added some variables to this land in vain. On the eve of this big reshuffle, after all, it is still dominated by small and medium-sized toasts, and Ye Tao and his party only look at a few hundred people, but it is very simple to destroy some villages.
"Proxy wars? That's an interesting statement. Liu Yong smiled and said: "It also shows the true flavor of it." But what are you going to do, my lord? ”
"What should I do?" Ye Tao raised his eyebrows, thought about it for a while, and said, "Don't do it." The situation here is ever-changing, and it is inevitable that someone who can follow the situation here will be in charge, and I am not suitable to mix here. Yunzhou and Zhenzhou are too far away from here, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip. Even Dongping is too far away from here, whether it is to provide support or provide all kinds of guidance, it will not be very immediate. If you want to interfere here, it is best to authorize the Nanami Trading Company to do so with His Majesty. With the eyes of Old Man Qi and the brains of the goblins and goblins in the trading company, although the support from Nanyang will not be very rich, at least it will not suffer too much. And now we don't know if this arrangement has already begun. Uncle Liu, you asked Xie Siyi to ask about the situation, why don't you think so? Someone must be instigating it, but what if the person who instigated it is our own? It's still quite possible. After all, we came from Xiling and we seem to have a lot of strength. …… Besides, aren't we taking care of ourselves now? Where is the time and energy to care about the lives and deaths of others? ”
Liu Yong smiled. In fact, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin were going to run Xiling, but he didn't understand why, there were many strange places in it. They didn't stay in Anqing for long, and although the layout was completed, it was not very ideal. It's just the secret support of Xingsifang, and it will be a very aftertaste step in the future. As for the trick of playing Yuanyuan Garden and Guansheng Garden in the enemy's lair, it can only be said that it is due to the special interest of Tan Weixin and Ye Tao. However, this journey is indeed an experience for Ye Tao. In the case of having to consider his own safety, Tan Weixin's safety, and the safety of many subordinates, Ye Tao actually made a lot of helpless decisions along the way. For example, after entering the dungeon, he allowed the people of other groups to touch the mechanism in the labyrinth, and tied the guards other than the Qin commander in the labyrinth, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead...... These are not Ye Tao's styles. And now, Ye Tao smiled and said that he couldn't care about the lives of others, although there was inevitably some embarrassment in his tone, but this was also a kind of growth after all. Ye Tao is an excellent commander and leader, but Ye Tao really wants to break through Xiling in fifteen years, and he has to be more ruthless......
