Chapter 372: Planning
After taking the whole of Xuzhou, Song Qing not only did not want to be more restrained, but on the contrary, he made more fanfare, and began to send people to enter Yingtianfu by boat in batches, although he did not attack, but only stayed at the ferry, but for those local people who were going to the north to do business, this was already a big thing.
Of course, Song Qing did not embarrass those merchants who were serious about trading, but specifically intercepted those merchants who relied on Yang to eat, as long as these people were stopped and couldn't leave, after they turned around and went back, they would go to those who took their money to ensure that their business could always arrive at their destination safely, and those people If they want to keep their business and reputation, they must come to the ferry, because business can't be delayed, and those merchants will run out after you drag it down, and even send money to Song Qing's people. In this way, Ying Tianfu's business will not be used at all, it will be snatched away, and the prestige of Steward Yang will plummet in Nanjing.
This is not Huai'an Mansion or Yangzhou, nor Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Changzhou, this is the base camp of Steward Yang, Yingtianfu, is the area with the most powerful force, if there is no guarantee of the safety of the merchants who depend on him, then he does not have to mix in other places, all kinds of forces in the south of the Yangtze River are intertwined, once you can't maintain your own territory, there will be new people to replace you, there will be nothing to save face for the old-timers, and it is polite not to kill you.
Song Qing also has his own considerations in doing this, Ying Tianfu is not another state and county, and this place can be regarded as the foot of the Son of Heaven to a certain extent. If you do it here, it will have a great impact, although he doesn't plan to solve the problem peacefully, but if the other party does it first, he will have to explain more to all aspects, not to mention that the matter of him being hunted down is estimated to have spread in all the big names in Nanjing City at this time, and if you do this, it will show that he understands the rules and knows the way of proportion, and can get a lot of impression points.
On the contrary, if he behaves more well, and Steward Yang frantically attacks again. Then the truth can be imagined on whose side. He himself is an official, although Steward Yang is not an official, but because of his special profession, he can also be regarded as a person in the officialdom. People in officialdom must pay attention to decency in doing things. Without decent words. It is no different from the gangsters, especially Nanjing, because there is no kind of drilling camp and struggle in Beijing. It seems to be a lot more noble, so he attaches more importance to these things, if the steward of the Wei Mansion commits a taboo, I am afraid that it is not so easy to explain, and the Lord Guogong himself is afraid that he will not be able to stand it if he is the first.
Staying at the ferry for two days in a row, the effect was immediate, countless businessmen ran to find Yang Tong and Yang Xing, and asked them to help solve it, the two of them also regretted it at this time, regretting that they were not able to take Song Qing at the beginning, but at the same time they were really surprised, within their cognition, except for a few people in Nanjing City, no one dared to provoke their father-in-law, Song Qing was just a military leader in Jiangbei, how could he dare to provoke the people in the Wei Mansion? This is completely illogical!
Whether it is logical or not, the matter is already here, the two of them have no idea for a while, they have also heard about the strength of the other party, they can fight all the way from Huai'an Mansion here, and even Zhenjiang, which did not participate in the pursuit at the beginning, has been taken down by others, such a fast speed, such a very spicy means, let them feel worried from their hearts, now that Song Qing has killed the door, they naturally have no other ideas, even if they do it, they can not call the shots, they can only go to find Yang Guanshi.
"Father-in-law!" This kind of occasion is usually Yang Tong who speaks first, and today is naturally no exception, he was still expressionless when he came in, but when he saw Steward Yang's dark expression that could seep water, he immediately put on a bitter face and asked: "Then Song Qing asked someone to stop the ferry, and now those people outside can't get their goods out, so they all come to the child to call the shots, and the child himself has no idea now, so he can only come to his father-in-law to take charge, do you think you want to mobilize people now to drive the surname Song out of the city?" ”
"Driven out? Is it that easy? Steward Yang's face became more and more gloomy, but the shelf could hold it, after all, Song Qing only held the ferry now, and did not continue to march towards the hinterland of Nanjing, to put it bluntly, he still had some scruples in his heart, so he did not reach the end of the mountain.
Having said that, even if Song Qing really starts to march to the heartland of Nanjing, he also has a lot of people here, this is not Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and Huai'an Mansion, the government in those places is only a relationship with him to use each other, usually everyone makes money together is no problem, but when something happens, those people get rid of the relationship faster than anyone else.
But Nanjing is different here, Steward Yang has been operating here for many years, and there are many people in the army who have received his favor at the beginning, coupled with the strength of the army that originally belonged to the Duke of Wei, if he is really forced to start fighting, the officers and soldiers will definitely not sit idly by, and then it will be a matter of two groups of officers and soldiers, and he will even be able to withdraw from the matter to a large extent.
The reason why this line has not been used is mainly because I am afraid that the impact will be too great, two groups of officers and soldiers are fighting in Nanjing, no matter who wins and who loses, the top will definitely punish both sides at the same time, and Song Qing's background He has recently inquired about it, although his original judgment cannot be said to be wrong, but he absolutely underestimated this person, although this person is only a newly rising military leader, but the relationship with all aspects is too deep, not only the emperor values it very much, but the Guanning army actually accepts his favors.
If such a person is either killed directly, and if there is anything after that, the person is already dead anyway, and the investigation in all aspects will not be too excessive, and when the time comes, he will directly spend money to buy peace, or give up some territory, and the lost things may be able to be regained in a few years, and nothing will be delayed.
But if this person fails to kill, things are not so simple, the current situation is a strong proof, Song Qing has begun to take revenge like crazy, and he has brought troops to his door, but his side has not yet won me, after thinking about it for a long time, Yang Steward had to say: "You take people over first, see how strong the other party is, if it is easy to deal with, just drive them out of Lu, Yangzhou side of the territory when the time comes, Nanjing must not have an accident, otherwise everyone will have no good fruit to eat!" ”
"Got it!" Yang Tong nodded, but he was still a little uneasy, and asked again: "Father-in-law, many of the officers and soldiers brought by Song Qing may not work, so do you need to call some officers and soldiers to help?" If there is a fight, it will not suffer too much! ”
"This ......" Steward Yang hesitated a little, after all, it is not a trivial matter to use officers and soldiers, although it has been moved before, but they are all small groups of officers and soldiers, and they are used to hunt down Song Qing, but now if the officers and soldiers are moved again, in case of a real fight with Song Qing, it will be two groups of officers and soldiers attacking, and it is in a place like Nanjing City, the matter is big, everyone's face is not good-looking, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the prince will personally intervene, such a big matter, it is impossible to pat his head and decide, he needs to think carefully about it.
But after thinking about it again, he finally nodded and said: "You go and call Sun Guerrilla, if something really happens, or Song Qing's fierce attack regardless of it, those people under our command will still not be able to withstand it, but after Sun Guerrilla they arrive, don't make a move, staring at the ferry from afar, until the last resort, don't be tough with Song Qinglai, otherwise after the matter gets bigger, I won't be able to explain it in front of the old man of Guogong, and I'm afraid that I won't even be able to keep this position when the time comes." ”
"The child obeys!" Yang Tong can no longer be quiet, he himself is just a middle-aged person, bold and dare to make a black hand, a little brainy, but it is only compared with Yang Xing's brainless person, he knows very well that he can have such a big face in Nanjing, relying on Yang Guanshi, and the reason why Yang Guanshi can dominate Nanjing is because of the right from the Wei Guogong Mansion, Wei Guogong has always been inconspicuous in Nanjing, but that is because he has long been used to ruling everything, so he is so free, But everyone knows who is really talking about this Nanjing City, if they really lose this identity, I am afraid that they will shed their skin if they don't die.
As for Yang Xing, he didn't have any other ideas, his brain was never very useful, he was only interested in fighting and killing, seeing that Yang had nothing else to command, he followed Yang Tong away, and the two went separately to contact their respective forces outside, preparing to bump into Song Qing who locked the ferry, to see who could have the final say in Nanjing City.
Song Qing didn't know the judgment of the Yang family in Nanjing City, but he could probably think of it, but he was not interested in this kind of round-based confrontation with the other party, after finding that the other party had nothing to do with him for the time being, he began to look for those merchants to collect money, how much peace silver was handed over to the Yang family in the past, and how much money was handed over to him in the future, and he could go over immediately after paying the money.
Not to mention, there are really people who are willing to pay him money, not those businessmen who are cheap, there are really many things they can't fight against, especially those who sell smuggled salt, they are particularly particular about contracts and the concept of time, and they don't want their reputation to be destroyed by the fighting between the two big men, so after getting the help of the Yang family, they immediately handed over the same share to Song Qing, and said that as long as General Song can still hold this ferry, they will only pay this part of the money in the future.
Song Qing was naturally happy about this approach, but the Yang family couldn't bear it anymore, because once this kind of thing happened, it would be tantamount to picking up their graves, and they had to make some moves, indicating that the not very clean businesses in Nanjing City were still under the control of his family, and they were not snatched away by outsiders.
