Chapter 224: Zao Wou-Ki's capital
'Is that Zao Wou-Ki again?' ''Isn't he?'' ''The ghost is not gone, what did Senior Brother Ling say?'' Li Chen felt that he should ask that Senior Brother Qin first what he was talking about, maybe Zhao Liu had misunderstood.
My brother told me that he would be out of the city tomorrow, and that there was a case outside, which was very tricky. He was only sent to deal with it, even his deputy, he was worried that as soon as he left, Zao Wou-Ki would immediately send someone over, and this time it might not be as simple as last time. That's why Zhao Liu was advised to avoid it first.
'It's not easy, how can it be not easy?' But you can't be careless, Zao Wou-Ki has hundreds of people under his hands, if he pulls them all, he may have to bring the old soldiers and the huge number of them.
'Li Jun knows, what is the capital of this Zao Wou-Ki to dominate the East City? ''Say.'' Li Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "How was Dongshi before?" ’
This wasn't the case before, and as you know, the city is close to the canal and close to the big city, so there's a lot of interest in that. So there are several big and small gangs, and there are often conflicts, and no one has ever been able to dominate the East Market. ', unify the East City? If there is a person who can dominate the East Market, who is the most unwilling, of course, those merchants, Li Chen can even imagine that maybe some big merchants are stirring up trouble behind their backs. In this situation, no gang has the ability to dominate the East City.
And this Zao Wou-Ki was originally just one of the big and small gangs, but somehow, he took advantage of the resignation of the previous Jiedu envoy and the new Jiedu envoy who had not yet taken over, and got a group of veterans, so that his power increased greatly, and only in a short period of time did he defeat the other gangs and dominate the eastern city. Zhao Liu explained that he didn't finish talking last time, and Zao Wou-Ki had a part, which made Li Chen's eyes widen.
'Veteran? It sounded like this veteran was not easy to get, Li Chen was surprised, "Yes." Zhao Liu explained the veteran's inside story, and Li Chen knew that he was really lucky.
Any modern person who hears about veterans will probably want to say that this is a group of experienced warriors. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some veterans are veterans or something. However, in modern times, as long as it is not too scummy country, any Filipino and the like, veterans should not be too bad.
But Zhao Liu said that it was a veteran, not like this. It is not an experienced soldier, but usually refers to the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. Because in this era, there is no such thing as retirement. There is no elite soldier policy, there is no career planning, anyway, as soon as you enlist in the army, you have to be old, weak, sick and disabled before you can retire.
Old, frail, disabled, and chronically ill, these categories are possible to retire. Therefore, how can these veterans have any combat effectiveness.
There will be such a gap because of the different living standards and different average life expectancy, which leads to such a gap. Li Chen is limited by modern thinking, when he hired veterans, he didn't think about these problems at all, he always wanted to say that in the army, the time limit for really being a soldier is not long, the lower the level, the earlier the retirement age, I didn't think about it at all, and I didn't tell you this at all in ancient times.
It's good to retire at the same age of forty. The ancients could be grandfathers at the age of forty, which is considered an old man. And what about modern times? The average life expectancy has increased, and the age of 40 is the time when a person is in the prime of life.
Therefore, his group of about fifty people, with an average age of less than thirty, has to be retired veterans, and now that I think about it, in addition to luck, I am afraid that there are other factors in it.
Judging from this logic, Zao Wou-ki's group of veterans is even more problematic. His group of veterans, although there are only a few hundred people, but they are people who have really been on the battlefield and seen blood, not those who can be compared to those splashes or rangers. This is the capital that Zao Wou-Ki relies on. But such a team is not the time to retire at all, and there are definitely more cats behind him than him.
I also suggest that you stay away for a while. Li Chen rubbed his chin and thought, Zhao Wouji obviously didn't exert his full strength a few times ago, and if he really wants to pull out those hundreds of people, I'm afraid that the Jiedu envoy will consider sending out the army, this is looking for death.
But he didn't need to pull out hundreds of people, this time he was playing really, he only needed to send hundreds of veterans, which was enough for him to drink a pot, Li Chen didn't think of how to deal with it. The time, the place, and the people are all in the hands.
There are more people on the other side than them, if he used to think about relying on quality to compete, now he can't even think about it. The location is favorable, maybe they can know in advance which one Zao Wou-Ki wants to attack, and they can resist against the wall. Procrastination. Just, does it work to procrastinate for time? In the case of peripheral reinforcements, no city is difficult to attack. As for the time, people can do it whenever they want.
'The so-called rigidity cannot be long, and softness cannot be kept. He also said, arrogance has been declining for a long time, how can a situation like Zao Wou-Ki be cleaned up later, why should you be stubborn. The situation was bad, and Li Chen advised Zhao Liu to avoid it first. Zao Wou-Ki will be cleaned up sooner or later if he continues to be arrogant like this.
Who knows, Zhao Liu was unusually insistent and refused to leave anything, which made Li Chen's head hurt for a while. What is he doing so stubbornly, this Zao Wou-ki, no one dares to provoke him now, but as long as he shows a little flaw, someone around him will immediately share him.
Like the merchants of the East Market, are they willing to let Zao Wou-Ki dominate the East Market like this? It's impossible to think about it. In addition, after Zao Wou-Ki unified the East City, he absorbed many other gangs to win manpower. It is conceivable that as soon as Zao Wou-Ki shows weakness, or after a long time, the gang will be torn apart. So there's really no need to go head-to-head with him when he's at his peak, you can't win against him.
'Did Qin Shuai say what the situation was?' Why was it sent out again. Zhao Liu was so stubborn that he refused to leave, and Li Chen couldn't think of any way to clean up Zhao Wouji in a short time, so he could only ask Qin Feng about his condition.
The senior brother said, there is a troublesome case. Zhao Liu replied, "A human murder case." The county order ordered to solve the case within a time limit, but there were no clues at all. The county ordered them to go to the countryside to visit. ’
The case is such a certain merchant, who took the line from Yangzhou to Xufu. Transported Yangzhou specialties to Xufu for sale, but a few days ago, he went out to sell goods as usual, but he evaporated from this world, and finally found his body near the canal.
Yang Zide has always maintained public order, and it has always been maintained well, after all, this is the hub of the world, and it has always been so that as long as he is not stupid or stupid, he will not condone thieves or thieves such as **** to run rampant on the canal. Therefore, this case is a headache for the Jiangyang County Order, and if you don't catch the thief quickly, I'm afraid it will alarm the envoy. Then his black gauze hat can't be saved.
'Case? Any clues? Hearing that it was a case, Li Chen, who was searching for the thief, couldn't help, so he could only help use his brain. (To be continued.) )
