Chapter 139: The predecessor of the Killing Alliance

However, Su Zedong did not let Dongzhen Company spend more money in this regard, because the expenditure on military expenses was far more than the subsidies given by the imperial court, so Su Zedong let people wander around the barracks in large quantities, and Zheng Defeng and Wu Yiyi were familiar faces among them.

In particular, LΓΌ Zhen's troops, except for the cavalry battalion under his command, were frequented, and the generals of his troops gradually became familiar with Zheng Defeng and Wu.

Most of the generals also understood Su Zedong and his Dongzhen Company's intention to build fortifications, which was a good thing for others and themselves, so on the basis of making sure that they themselves also had a share of oil and water, they asked the imperial court, that is, Zhang Shicheng, for silver taels.

Although Zhang Shicheng said that he was in the early stage of entrepreneurship, his family background was not much poorer than Su Zedong, if he did not have an economic foundation, if he created a huge team and occupied so many cities!

Therefore, with the financial support of Dongzhen Company, as well as the subsidies of the imperial court and the subsidies of military spending, all the craftsmen, idle farmers, and city people in Gaoyou City and nearby small towns came to help.

In the case of continuous funds, it is very fast to build anything, the house is like this, and the fortifications are also like this, in addition to helping Gaoyou City to defend against foreign places, these fortifications have also made a name for themselves in Su Zedong and his Dongzhen Company!

Among them, Su Zedong and Dongzhen Company can get military spending, that is, the subsidy of the imperial court, in addition to getting official recognition and support, Su Zedong is actually also to start Dongzhen Company, that is, more people know Dongzhen Company, more businessmen can cooperate with it.

If it had been placed in the past, Zhou Yan, Tan Zhen and the others who had won the battle would have been eager to wrap up the entire Drunken Immortal Building, regardless of whether there would be a war the next day!

After they won the battle, they felt that they were very powerful, and as for those defeated generals, it would be good to leave them to other generals to defeat!

But this time it was different, this time the battle was won because the fortifications were well done, and the family members of the Dongzhen Mansion were too powerful to use the terrain to defeat the Mongol cavalry and vanguard army with one enemy!

Obviously it is the credit of others, but they have to put gold on their faces, Zhou Yan, Tan Zhen and others still can't do it, they know that the details of these battles can't be faked, because Zhang Shicheng is not the only one watching, the people of the whole city are watching.

But no matter what, Gaoyou City was able to stand two days after the Mongol army's onslaught, and it could still make the Mongol army suffer a big loss and flee in a hurry;

The scheming Mongol bandits were even forced to use other methods than frontal battlefields to break down the defenses of Gaoyou City from within; Of course, the credit of these generals is indispensable.

Although they only benefited from it, the soldiers sent out were the same as them, under the light of the powerful Dongzhen Mansion and Lu Zhen's elite cavalry and infantry, they only needed to do the things that were easy to lead the sheep, follow behind the army, and pick up the fruits of the victory in the battle!

Even if it is such a scumbag, Zhou Yan, Tan Zhen and others do not put gold on their faces, but they claim to be the generals of the victorious side of the war, and after winning the battle, it is natural to secretly celebrate.

As for the soldiers under their command, although they were not the main force and did not play a major role in resisting the Mongol cavalry, no matter how they were, they were all on the battlefield, and what happened if they followed the rear of the army and did not rush to the front line!

Tan Zhen, Zhou Yan, Liu Ming and others firmly believe in their own set of theories, at the banquet in Wufu, even if no one toasts or coaxes, they all have to "do" a glass with themselves, and they don't forget to say some magnificent and inspiring words.

Only when they drink and they have no dangerous and evil threats such as defeat, death, and capture on the battlefield, will they remember that they are the generals of one side, the generals who pinned the lives and hopes of millions of people;

Only in the midst of the staggering of the plots will they be completely unafraid of the Mongol soldiers, and especially the Mongol cavalry, and will scold them viciously and so badly that they are useless; It's just that those scenes of victory can only exist in their drunken heads!

Wu Shicheng saw that they were using alcohol to anesthetize themselves, and their current situation was as embarrassing as himself, but everyone was a grasshopper on a string, and Zhou Yan, Tan Zhen and others, who were drunk and sang and scolded the Mongolian cavalry for not being a thing, had an official rank a few levels higher than themselves!

Wu Shicheng's most unwilling and undesirable face reversal appeared after Xiang Feng said his plan!

When Xiang Feng said that he had received the elder brother in the family, asking him to cooperate with the actions of the Mongolian army and take Gaoyou City from inside and outside, Zhou Yan, Tan Zhen and the others were drunk and their faces were as red as tomatoes and immediately turned pale, and their confused eyes immediately widened!

Doing some petty theft with the Mongols, Zhou Yan, Tan Zhen and others still dared to do it, and when they heard that in Su Zedong's Juyi Hall, there was a person named Liu Zhenming who had the ability to make good weapons, so they took the initiative to contact Xiang Feng.

Zhou Yan took the initiative to put forward the cooperation plan drawn up by their brothers, and the specific thing was that they used various ways and methods in the military camp to first ask Su Zedong to hand over some treasures from his house to the armament material storage warehouse.

Then, through the relationship between the guards and generals, some or most of those treasures were directly stolen;

Then they need Xiang Feng to use the strength of his family to let the rich businessmen and nobles in Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province and even the entire Central Plains know the news;

As long as the price is reasonable, they will naturally send soldiers to send it over, and they can make a lot of money and profit from it!

The military camp and the wealthy merchant family designed and colluded step by step, ring by ring, because of their strong power in Gaoyou City and the huge power of the Xiang family, which could have been done seamlessly.

Moreover, even if Su Zedong or his generals, family members and others found out and told King Cheng about their behavior, they also had high-sounding excuses such as military expenses and improving military salaries to prevaricate it!

It's just that Xiang Feng is too greedy, and after he learned from Wu Shicheng's mouth that Zhou Yan and others had the intention to cooperate, he happily agreed on the spot.

However, Xiang Feng, who is not a traitor or a businessman, attaches great importance to the market of women, and in his opinion, women are tools, so he put forward additional conditions for the proposal of Wu Shicheng and others.

That is, in order to ensure that the transaction can be carried out smoothly and happily, the daughters of Pingkang in the five famous buildings on North Street must also be used as a tool to make money, or as a trick to lure when negotiating with other wealthy businessmen!

In order to let Wu Shicheng, who was talking with him, not have any chance to refuse, Xiang Feng also said the rules and reputation of his Xiang family when doing business with outsiders when he was worried, and the implication was to exert pressure.

In this way, Xiang Feng's words have come to this point, as long as Wu Shicheng and others dare to say a "no", the transaction between the military defense and the rich businessmen will be considered a failure, and it just so happens that Wu Shicheng is also a character who uses women as tools, and the idea of male superiority and female inferiority is even more serious than Xiang Feng.

Xiang Feng's words, Wu Shicheng naturally understood that he had also heard of the Xiang family's methods and means, and his grandfather's grandfather was okay when he first started the family business, and he was doing legitimate and credible business.

It was only in the Yuan Dynasty that after the Hui businessmen entered the Central Plains market, the commercial trade formed an unprecedented prosperity, and on the surface, the business of the Han people was greatly suppressed, but for the big merchants of the Han people, these were unprecedented opportunities to make money.

Xiang Feng's grandfather was in the prime of his life at that time, in order to do business with the Hui people, in order to keep the Xiang family's family business and seize this rare opportunity to make the Xiang family's business bigger and stronger, the family business under his control began to disguise......

It turned out that the Xiang family's business was only an orthodox bulk business, mainly based on official grain, salt, and private tea, ironware, restaurants, clothes and other physical businesses, and then started to buy and sell porcelain items with the Hui people.

In order to get good porcelain and earn a bigger difference, the patriarch of the Xiang family, Xiang Feng's grandfather, began to systematically recruit idle people in society, that is, famous "people from all over the world" who dare to fight and kill, to his mansion for food, clothing, entertainment, and training.

The people of the Xiang family spared no expense to invite the Mongolian military professional figures similar to the chief soldier and the head of the sect to train the "doormen" in their mansion to kill people and plunder, assassinate, assassinate and other skills.

With enough gold and silver treasures, the Xiang family has successfully gradually formed a well-trained, well-equipped, fierce and decisive organization that can settle any thorny, troublesome, and dirty affairs for its masters!

This organization is the predecessor of the Killing Alliance that aided Xiang Feng.

In Xiang Feng's generation, this army established for the interests of the Xiang family has a history of more than 50 years, and its scope is becoming more and more, and things such as robbing darts, killing people and setting fires, and robbing and exterminating the clan can no longer satisfy their desires.

So when it came to Xiang Feng's father's generation, the forces of the Killing Alliance had come into contact with the interior of the Yuan Dynasty's army and officialdom, but its depth was still not enough, and after Xiang Feng's generation, Xiang Feng's two elder brothers could be said to be like fish in water in the army of the Yuan Dynasty.

Especially his eldest brother, he was able to get mixed up with the position of a general, which was equivalent to the position of Su Sanliang and Su Liangsan's eldest brother Su Wudao, but the two of them were in different camps, and they each fought for their masters.
