The three major shipping companies of the Zhoushui Alliance carried out monopoly shipping operations in Yingkou, Liaodong, and the seven shipyards of the Bohai Alliance monopolized the operation of the Bohai shipbuilding industry, which obtained huge profits and caused dissatisfaction among some local players.

The player forces in Xiangping, Panjin, and Jinzhou who want to sell raw materials, as well as the players in the Yellow River, Laizhou Bay, Shandong Peninsula and other places, and the players who want to buy raw materials, are all dissatisfied with the middleman of the Zhoushui Alliance.

Even the pirate gangs entrenched on the Liaodong Peninsula who do their own thing can't stop complaining. Because the sailing ships that come and go to the "Tanggukou-Yingkou" route are now almost all sailing ships of the Zhoushui Alliance. They had an agreement with the Zhoushui Expeditionary Fleet at Lushunkou that they could not touch these merchant ships, and that there were no merchant ships to rob.

However, I had a lot of debts for the purchase of ten light pirate ships, and I was in dire need of looting to pay off my debts. Pirates should also be trustworthy and should not fail to repay their debts.

A new pirate player couldn't help but propose, "Head, now there are nearly 100 Zhou Shui's sailboats passing by on the waterway every day, we can't just let these fat meat pass under our noses in vain, just rob Zhou Shui's sailboats, and make a lot of money if you get dozens of them." We have so many pirate ships, with tens of thousands of troops, occupying a large area of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the Zhoushui Alliance doesn't dare to do anything to us! ”

I reprimanded the player harshly, "What do you know, mess with bad ideas!" None of Zhou Shui's boats could move. He understands very well that in order to strengthen his strength, he must get the support of the Zhoushui Alliance in all aspects, and now he does not dare to turn his face with the Zhoushui fleet and rob Zhoushui's sailboats. Not to mention that he only had ten light pirate fighting ships, even if he increased his strength five times, he would not dare to do so. All of his pirate ships were purchased from the Zhoushui Alliance, and as long as the Zhoushui Alliance ran out of stock for him, then his military power would be greatly limited.

Unless, he can have other safe channels to get such a high-grade fighting ship. But to get the fighting ship where there is so easy. Not to mention that most shipyards are not able to build fighting ships yet, and even if they do, they may not be willing to sell them to him.

I am not willing to sin in any way the water fleet of Lushun Mouth.

In the end, it was the gray crow who came up with an idea, "Since we can't move Zhoushui's boat, then let's just go to the Shandong Peninsula and rob the ships along the coast of Weihai and Yantai." Anyway, our fighting ships can withstand ordinary wind and waves, and can easily pass through the Bohai Strait. Go to the coast of the Shandong Peninsula. ”

My eyes lit up, yes, it was a good idea to go to the Shandong Peninsula to rob, maybe I could take revenge on my previous revenge.

After informing the current commander of the Lushunkou military fortress, one of the 32 Sima of Zhoushui, "Dapeng spread his wings," the fleet of pirate gangs under his command immediately changed the area of activity, and ten pirate fighting ships ran from the center of the Bohai Sea to Yantai and other places in Shandong Province, and ransacked the sailing ships and cabin ships along the coast. Big profit. Use the looted goods to pay off your debts and exchange them for more pirate ships from the Zhoushui Alliance.

The Zhoushui Alliance voyage fleet from Tanggukou has set up a raw material procurement point in Yingkou to eat copper ore, herbs, grain and other raw materials in large quantities, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of units can be purchased at one time. Because it is a huge lot, the purchase price is very low, even much lower than the market price.

The players of Xiangping Walled City lead the past and present lives, and they are naturally dissatisfied with this.

The minerals, herbs and other materials that players in Xiangping, Panjin, and Jinzhou excavated and collected are inexhaustible. will be sold here. There are a lot of sellers, and the supply is very abundant, but there is only one buyer. Keep the price very low. After deducting costs, they make very little profit.

In his previous life and this life, he didn't want to establish a territory of local power in Yingkou after he worked hard to resist the forces of Panjin and Jinzhou, and he hadn't been able to get the benefits. But it cheapened others for nothing.

He didn't directly order the merchants of the Zhoushui Alliance to drive away, but he was far away in Xiangping. He also heard that the naval strength of the Zhoushui Alliance was quite strong, and he didn't want to fall out with the Zhoushui Alliance because of driving away the merchants of Zhoushui.

He used another way to secure his interests - to build a fleet, use his own sailboats, and transport raw materials to the Yellow River and other places where the population is rich and the demand is very high. In this way, there is no need to be depressed by Zhoushui middlemen, and it is natural to sell at a higher price.

The shipbuilding industry in Yingkou is not up to the mark, and it can only produce small ground cabin ships. Cannot be used for sea freight. It's impossible to show it in a moment. Only by buying.

In the past and present lives, people were sent to Tanggukou, Puyang, Qingdao and other places to purchase sailboats. Sailboats are currently sold in only these three places, and even a small number of local warships can be purchased on the black market.

The Xiangping Walled City sent people around to buy sailboats. The news that he planned to transport raw materials to various places to sell them immediately spread to the Tanggukou base, causing the entire Zhoushui Alliance to tremble.

A considerable part of the profits of the Zhoushui Alliance now come from cheap raw materials, and if the Xiangping Walled City has its own sailing fleet, then these raw materials will be able to be sold everywhere, which will naturally weaken the advantages of the Zhoushui Alliance. It will cause heavy losses to the three major shipping companies, and it will also make players in various industries lose high profits.

Sheep, Nameless, Shanhai and others immediately found Qin Xiaobai and asked the Zhoushui Alliance to come forward to stop this behavior of Xiangping Walled City.

Qin Xiaobai felt very embarrassed, thought about it for a long time, and shook his head: "There is no way to stop it." We are not the only ones who can build sailboats, and if we don't sell them boats, we will be able to buy a sufficient number of sailing ships from other places in our past and present lives. It will definitely be able to form a transport fleet. ”

Nameless hurriedly said, "Then let's use the fleet to stop it?" ”

Qin Xiaobai said: "Using the fleet can cut off the transportation line, but this will make our relationship with the Xiangping Walled City deteriorate sharply. The strength of the 6th Army in the Xiangping Walled City was not much worse than ours, and we could not board the 6th Army at Yingkou and threaten them, so that we would not be able to obtain any raw materials from Yingkou, and this loss would be even greater. ”

Shanhai said: "I have an idea, we take the initiative to sell them the sailboat. In addition, let the pirate ship that I do my own thing closely monitor the Bohai Sea, and once the fleet of Xiangping is present, then immediately rob it. In this case, even if they have a fleet of sailing ships, they will still be heavily taxed, and it may not be more cost-effective than selling them directly to us. ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled and said, "This method is a bit damaged, and it will be easily detected, so let's think about it." Nameless, you immediately go and contact the leaders of Xiangping Walled City in the past and present lives, how many sailing ships they need, we will sell them as many as they need. In addition, let me do my own thing, and don't rush to rob. I estimate that the number of sailboats that need to be purchased in the past and present lives is very large, at least hundreds of sailboats are needed. This deal is still very good for us. We can't push Xiangping's player forces to a dead end, otherwise they are likely to join forces with forces in other regions, which would be even more inappropriate, and I need to gradually turn them into our allies. As for some of the benefits you have lost in transportation, you can make up for it from the Zhoushui Shipyard. Several of you have invested in Zhoushui Shipyard, each buying 5% of the shares. In this way, the interests are balanced. ”

When the sheep, nameless, mountains and seas saw this, they didn't say anything anymore. If the loss of shipping can be compensated by the profits of the shipyard, then of course they are in favor of selling the ship.

Nameless came forward and met with several of his subordinates who had been sent to buy a ship in his previous life and in this life, and agreed to the request to sell the ship.

In the previous life, the subordinates in this life thought that it was impossible to buy a sailboat from the Zhoushui Alliance, but they didn't expect the other party to agree, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Both sides sent high-level players at the vice-leader level to negotiate and negotiate, and finally reached an agreement.

1. The sailboats needed by Xiangping are provided by Zhoushui Shipyard.

2. As part of the deal, the Zhou fleet had certain obligations to protect Xiangping's fleet from pirates in the Bohai Sea.

The Zhoushui Shipyard sold a total of 50 heavy sailing ships, each of which cost 400,000 copper coins, for a total of 20 million copper coins - of course, it was impossible for the players in Xiangping Walled City to come up with so many copper coins, and the deal was to exchange raw materials directly for sailboats.

The whole Yingkou was very busy.

A large number of transport carriages transported the surplus raw materials hoarded in the warehouses of hundreds of thousands of player organizations in Xiangping, Anshan and other places to Yingkou.

The Zhou Shui fleet then pulled away a large number of goods from Yingkou, and every time the goods worth 400,000 copper coins were carried, they were delivered to a heavy sailing ship in the past and present life. Zhou Shui's huge fleet of sailing ships worked day and night, and it took five or six days to complete the largest transaction in the history of Tanggukou and Xiangping Walled City.

The players in Yingkou were also shocked to see the strong ability of the Zhoushui Alliance for the first time. Combined, the three major shipping companies in Zhoushui have nearly 1,000 light and heavy sailing ships, and they line up day and night to load goods at dozens of ferries in Yingkou.

The leaders of the players of Xiangping Walled City, Jinzhou Walled City, and Panjin Walled City, heard that Zhou Shui's large fleet was coming, and specially came to Yingkou to watch these cargo ships, and looked at the sailing ships of Zhou Shui that covered the sky and the sun at the sea, and the visual and psychological shock and impact feeling was indescribable. Only then did they realize that the transportation capacity of the Zhoushui Alliance was so strong that it was almost enough to move the supplies of a walled city in a matter of days.

The deal was completed, and the Xiangping Walled City had 50 heavy sailing ships of its own. Immediately began to form a fleet, loaded with raw materials to the hinterland of the Yellow River, Laizhou Bay and other places, and sold them at high prices.

Qin Xiaobai didn't let my pirate gang rob this Xiangping merchant ship.

Players in Xiangping have speculated that the skeleton pirates roaming around the Bohai Sea may have something to do with the Zhoushui Alliance, and if the skeleton pirates attack Xiangping's merchant ships, it will definitely attract a strong protest.
