Volume 6 Politics Chapter 7 No Cowardice or Nothing Rash

"In the history of Datang commerce, although everyone highly respects the 'Mingcuilou Agreement' that was born in Jinling City, it is believed that it has laid the foundation for Datang commerce to sweep the world. However, there is also a 'Lianchun Lou Agreement' born in Quanzhou, and the impact of it cannot be underestimated.

Although the content of the latter's basic agreement is not much different from the former, compared with the former, this agreement introduces the Fan and the capital of the Fan people for the first time, and the scope of influence is far from comparable to the former, which can be said to be an expansion and sublimation of the 'Mingcuilou Agreement'! ”

β€”β€”Excerpt from "The Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty? On the evening of April 13 in the ninth year of Baoda (951 AD), in the Lianchun Building, the merchants of Quanzhou, including the Han Dynasty, finally passed more than ten agreements:

1. All businessmen in Quanzhou form a business association and set up a daily office organization; Any businessman can apply to participate, and all employees will elect the president, vice president, and secretary-general;

2. In the Chamber of Commerce, regardless of Han and Fan, all investors are equal in status, all funds are equal, and they are not allowed to be disregarded by their status, nor by their high or low;

3. The main responsibility of the Chamber of Commerce is to expand new business areas, and shall not maliciously interfere with the existing business structure;

4. Disputes between members of the Chamber of Commerce are preferentially resolved through negotiation within the Chamber of Commerce; If it cannot be solved, the government will be selected;

5. All management of cooperative projects in the chamber of commerce is open; All funds must be transparent and any contributing member can check the accounts on a regular or irregular basis;

……”

In the evening of the same day, the first meeting of the Chamber of Commerce collectively agreed to build a large supermarket in Quanzhou City and a world cargo center in the north of Quanzhou City, that is, the world logistics port and goods wholesale center proposed by Lin Feng.

Subsequently, all participants snapped up the cooperative shares on the spot. Lin Feng, who didn't have much money on him, didn't care for a while, Shi Zhizhi, Mo Hui, and Kang Zhonghai privately agreed that they would each pay 50,000 yuan, and take the lead in grabbing five percent of Lin Feng's shares. When the others realized that it was too late, Lin Feng personally stepped forward to stop it, stating that the money was all temporary loans, and they would definitely be repaid in the future, and they would no longer accept a penny from anyone, which successfully stopped the "crooked wind" at the venue.

After the big event was agreed, everyone invariably began to drink happily, Rao is Lin Feng drank a lot, and he was still completely overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Quanzhou businessmen, and was finally carried back to the Assassin's Mansion by Chen Fei and others.

On 17 April, Chen Yuanzao, the newly appointed governor of Quanzhou and the former head of the Southern Tang Dynasty, rushed to Quanzhou and handed the holy decree of the Holy Lord to Li Jingsui and Lin Feng, the kings of Qi. The message brought to Lin Feng was a great compliment, and he specially stated that he would be reused after returning to Beijing.

Li Jingsui immediately ordered to summon Jianzhou and Zhangwu Jiedu envoy Chen Xu, Zhangzhou Assassin Shi Liu's wish, and Zhangzhou regimental training envoy Zhang Hansi to return to Quanzhou to discuss matters.

On the evening of 19 April, a small-scale military-political secret meeting was held at the Quanzhou Assassin's Mansion (formerly the Minister's Mansion), with only six participants.

First of all, the King of Qi reported the battle reports of Wuyue, Guiguan, Fuzhou and other places, and even the Northern Han and Jinzhou battles in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Secondly, Chen Zhi and Zhang Hansi respectively introduced the new trends of the war in Fuzhou and Chaozhou: Wu Yue and the Southern Han Dynasty increased their troops on the two fronts, but there has been no major action.

Subsequently, under Li Jingsui's instructions, Lin Feng unfolded a map in front of everyone, studying and judging the situation between himself and Li Jingsui in the past few days:

Wu Yue and the Southern Han Dynasty are unlikely to have greater moves in the near future, and the current situation will continue for a considerable period of time - Wu Yue is now surrounded by the Tang Dynasty on all sides, and the Tang Infantry Army and the Navy Army can take the initiative to attack at any time, so it is impossible for Wu Yue's troops to be mobilized on a large scale, and the Fu'an front line where Chen Yu is located is expected to only face Wu Yuejing's navy, and it should not exceed 30,000 enemies at most;

And the Southern Han Dynasty, facing the pressure of the Guizhou Jiedu envoy Ma Jiwei Yi Han army in the west, must not dare to relax the defense of the country, especially the west, and the easternmost Chaozhou must not dare to accumulate too many troops for a long time, so Zhang Hansi's department should not have too much pressure! If the Southern Han Dynasty dares to take the initiative to give up the geographical advantages of Lingnan and fight in Chaozhou, we can't ask for it!

"Therefore, there can be no cowardice at any time on the front line of the north and the south! If the enemy launches a tentative attack, I will do whatever it takes to give me the enemy's thoughts! Li Jingsui slapped the table lightly and roared sharply.

"Yes!" Chen Yu and Zhang Hansi immediately replied solemnly.

"At the same time, you two must not be arrogant. Now, it cannot be completely ruled out that the enemy may secretly gather troops in one fell swoop, and you must be very energetic in your daily defense, and do not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, let alone act rashly, make a rash assault, and lose the current advantageous situation! Li Jingsui's face still did not relax, and admonished.

Chen Zhi and Zhang Hansi hurriedly swore and swore resolutely to follow the will of King Qi.

Li Jingsui's expression softened a little, and he approached the two and said, "It's easy to get tired and tired if you stick to it for a long time, but I believe that you will definitely be able to achieve the goal of consuming their strength and preserving their strength." In the future, when my Tang army swept through Wu Yue and the Southern Han Dynasty, I will take you two as the main force, and I will also make great contributions to you! ”

Chen Yu and Zhang Hansi immediately showed expressions of gratitude and knelt down to thank him.

Subsequently, Li Jingsui told Chen Yuanzao and Liuliu to put the overall situation first and actively ensure the needs of the war on the northern and southern fronts; At the same time, it is necessary to maintain regular reports from the Ministry of Intelligence with Jinling. The two of them agreed repeatedly.

After the completion of the major events, Li Jingsui toasted three glasses of good wine per person that night, which was a formal farewell to the leading brothers in this area, and at the same time practiced for Chen Zhi and Zhang Hansi, wishing them great victories on the front line, and a military discussion was declared over.

Before leaving, Chen Feng came over and hugged Lin Feng fiercely, and asked him in a low voice to take Chen Desheng, who had no intention of returning to the Jianzhou Army, Lin Feng also had some hot eyes, and nodded in agreement.

Early in the morning of 20 April, Li Jingsui and Lin Feng quietly drove out of Quanzhou City under the protection of all the special soldiers and the elites of various armies.

As soon as the team in front of them drove out of the city gate, their speed immediately slowed down, and when Li Jingsui and several people rushed to the city gate, they were all stunned. Although they tried their best to conceal the news of leaving, it seemed that the information had leaked, and countless people and merchants of Quanzhou were gathering outside the West City Gate, staring at the city gate without blinking.

Seeing several big horses appear, all the people at the scene knelt down and shouted unevenly:

"Long live Datang!"

"King Qi Wanfu!"

"Leave the general and go!"

"Lord Lin, let's go!"

King Qi had rarely left Jinling City before, and he had not enjoyed such grand courtesies a few times, so he immediately jumped off his horse and waved to the people next to him. At this moment, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became more lively, and many people got up and hugged here.

Lin Feng frowned, and immediately secretly made a gesture, and dozens of special fighters such as Lin Renzhao immediately squeezed into the crowd; Dozens of warriors stepped forward and used their shields to push the people who were struggling to crowd forward a certain distance.
