On the other side of the Liao River, in the eyes of the rebels and the Japanese army, the pressure brought to them by these 200,000 people even exceeded the 400,000 people of the previous Ming Empire, or even more. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause they can no longer be sure that the trench warfare system that has sustained them for decades will be able to withstand the enemy in front of them.

In addition to these enemies on the surface of the Ming Empire, there are also some other people who are also beginning to panic at this moment. Mr. Zhang is now sitting in his office, questioned by a group of people who were once his loyal supporters.

"It seems that it is too hasty to put the bet on the enemies of the empire." An old man sat on a sofa, squinting his eyes and summing up the recent failed investment of Jin merchants in the Jin rebels in order to seek development. Although these tens of millions of gold coins may not seem like much, they undoubtedly represent a group's position.

For the failure of the investment, everyone here is still more rational, but in terms of the risk of choosing the investment object, everyone does not have so much tolerance - after all, with the rebels, if this kind of thing is exposed, how many people here will fall to the ground? can become the leading figure in the Jinshang Group, which one is not a big family, no one wants to lose the foundation of their ancestors with the hat of treason, right?

"Zhang Baiting, it was you who mainly contacted the rebels at the beginning, saying that with a little planning, you can maintain a situation of winning and not losing. When the situation in Liaodong gets out of control, the rebels will give up the entire Jiliao business district to us......" The other person was obviously a little nervous, and while tapping his fingers on the table, he complained: "What now? Now the situation in Liaodong seems to be even more unfavorable to us than before, and even the share of Fengtian trade has been lost because of the war! ”

"Who would have thought that a man named Wang Jue would be killed in the sky? I even came up with some kind of munitions called tanks...... This is good, I heard that the military industrial enterprises in the Central Plains are making money at full speed, and the chaebols in Jiangnan can't help but be envious. Farther away, a businessman who owned several mines in Shanxi sighed sourly.

The entire conference room was filled with smoke, and a rich man who had already pinched off a few cigarettes glanced at the coal miner who spoke in front of him, and shouted hatefully: "The Central Plains Military Industrial Enterprise is working overtime to produce, and the coal mine in your hand is selling fast enough!" Do you know how much my business lost because of the war? How much? ”

Not everyone can benefit from the war, at least not the businessman in front of him, his net worth has shrunk a lot because of the war, and now he is even more anxious to see that the war is not over. The benefits that Zhang Baiting promised him originally seemed to be impossible to realize at all, so how could he not be impatient?

Isn't it true that everyone ties their heads to the waistband of their pants just to make a profit several times? Now that the profit chicken is flying, and I see that I can't even save my head, can I not be in a hurry? Almost everyone in the room was waiting for Zhang Baiting, who was the leader, to make a decision, after all, this cooperation was made by him Zhang Baiting himself.

"Enough! Do you all want to be shameless? At that time, when I heard about the cooperation, they were clamoring to join the gang, did I say that this thing is risky? Did I say I would make sure I wouldn't lose money? Zhang Baiting slapped the table and shouted angrily. As soon as he was cold, his momentum immediately overwhelmed everyone present, in fact, he was the one who lost the most money in the whole room, you must know that he was the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the whole thing.

Although when he provoked this cooperation at the beginning, it was indeed profitable. The connector from Ceylon offered a very good price and asked him to help with the disgraceful things within the Ming Empire. The rebels of the Jin Kingdom, the Japanese and even the British also gave him business convenience, and at the same time, his ambition gradually swelled, and he was no longer satisfied with the income he had already received.

So he secretly expanded his investments, including war dividends against Liaodong and Japan - and it now seemed that most of them had been recovered, and if he had let those around him know that he had almost nothing now, he would have been immediately torn to pieces by the angry crowd.

"Shut up!" He roared and roared at these mercenary people, and his mind was full of spittish for this little man who saw the wind and steered all the money-seeing. But he seems to have forgotten that he was just such a complete villain: "Who said that the Japanese and Ceylonese must lose?" Who said that the Jin Kingdom must be defeated? ”

His fierce voice made everyone else shut up, and now the war is indeed not over yet, but it seems that Jin Guo and Japan have no possibility of winning. As for whether the Liaohe defense line can be held, only God can know. But if you insist on saying that the Jin Kingdom has lost now, it is obviously a bit too arbitrary, at least these businessmen who have supported the Jin Kingdom here are not willing to admit this in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Zhang Baiting stood up and slowly continued to defend himself: "The Japanese are influencing the high-level officials of the imperial court through secret channels, and the war may continue soon...... You still have a chance to get what the people of Jin Guo promised, but it may be less. ”

As he spoke, he swept over these wavering collaborators with fierce eyes, and said coldly: "But now you are clamoring to quit and add chaos to the war situation in Liaodong, then you are not my partner of Zhang, nor are you friends of the Japanese in Jinguo!" At that time, your previous investment will be lost, and you will weigh it yourself! ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left the conference room. As for what he just said, even he didn't know if it would happen. Or even if the Jin Kingdom and Japan really negotiated peace with the Ming Empire, he also didn't know how much benefit he had as a businessman.

But now all he can do is delay, and it is much better to delay than to fall apart now. After walking out of the room, he returned to his office, and then quickly recruited his most trusted confidant in the past: "Hurry up and contact the people on the street, at least to find out whether the peace between Japan and the empire can be achieved this time!" Just go! Fast! ”

The henchman nodded, and hurried out the door.
