178 Death mud pit
Lone decides to take the advice offered by his brothers: hire the player to raid the ships produced by the Zhoushui Shipyard - whoever bought them, where they came from, and where they are going, as long as they are produced by the Zhoushui Shipyard.
The Bohai Shipyard and the Zhoushui Shipyard each have more than 300 merchant ships running and transporting in various rivers, and the number is so large that it is impossible to protect them as well as the shipbuilding bases, and it is easy to attack them.
It's a two-wound approach. Loneliness is mentally prepared to withstand the other party's counterattack in the same way. It must be noted that this attack will not cause direct losses to the Bohai Shipyard and Zhoushui Shipyard, but will cause indirect losses.
Because most of these merchant ships were purchased by merchant players, not the shipyard's own. Rogue raids on merchant ships will cause direct damage to merchant players everywhere, but not to shipyards.
After the attack, the merchants felt that shipping was unsafe and reduced the purchase of cabin ships, which caused losses to the shipyards.
Lonely sent dozens of henchmen to the action. They traveled to Lingzhi and other places, contacted dozens of players in various places, and paid them to attack the ships of the Zhoushui Shipyard, and they paid a lump sum for each attack. For the first expenditure, as much as two or three hundred thousand copper coins were paid.
That's not much, less than 10,000 copper coins per liukou were given. I am afraid that this money can barely make up for the loss of soldiers killed in battle. If there are more soldiers killed in battle, even the loss of soldiers is not enough.
With the lone force providing ship transportation and cover, dozens of rogue gangsters successfully launched a surprise attack on Zhou Shui's cabin ship at the same time, and this attack method was immediately effective.
On the same day, more than a dozen walled cities such as Jicheng, Zhoushui, and Bohai and many cabin ships in dozens of river basins were attacked to varying degrees. Although the damage was not serious, and none of the ships were robbed, they were all ships produced by Zhoushui Shipyard, which directly led to the discussion and dissatisfaction of many shipping merchant players.
While organizing troops to encircle and suppress the Liukou, merchants from all over the country asked the Zhoushui Shipyard what was going on and why many of the Zhoushui Shipyard's cabin ships had been attacked. The cabin ships of other shipyards were not harassed. Did Zhoushui Shipyard offend someone? If this behaviour is not stopped, they will consider using ships from other shipyards.
Zhoushui Shipyard received various complaints and inquiries from businessmen. The Lost Fortune Green Cow knew that something was wrong, and he couldn't handle it himself. Immediately reported the situation to the local security department of the Zhoushui Alliance.
After a little analysis, the leaders of the security department came to a general conclusion: except for the Bohai Shipyard, no one would do this special thing for the Zhoushui Shipyard. The direct purpose of the Bohai Shipyard is to suppress the Zhoushui Shipyard. However, they have no choice but to take the merchant ships produced by the Zhoushui Shipyard and cause a bad impact on the merchant player base in various places, thus affecting the sales of Zhoushui Shipyard's cabin ships.
In front of the leaders of the security department of the Zhoushui Alliance. This kind of little trick can't hide it from them at all. became the king after informing Qin Xiaobai, Sheep, and Nameless. Without hesitation, he immediately fired back. In exactly the same way, we will return to the Bohai Shipyard and suppress the Bohai Shipyard.
On the same day, dozens of bandits of unknown origin attacked boats in various rivers again. This time, all the ships are produced by the Bohai Shipyard. The merchant players using the Bohai Shipyard Hatch were not yet happy, congratulating themselves for avoiding the last attack on the Zhou Shui Tank, and they were killed, and cursed the damned rogue.
The ships of both shipyards were attacked by many rogues, and this time everyone was even.
Unfortunately for them, the merchants who used the hatch ships were forced to hire more soldiers to protect their ships from attack. Navigation in all rivers has turned red, and the once safe rivers have become less safe. Some merchant players are even forced to switch to 6 lanes to avoid being attacked.
All kinds of news about the fierce and secret battles between Bohai Shipyard and Zhoushui Shipyard that affected merchants everywhere also quickly spread to the ears of shipping players everywhere. After all, if you can't guess what is wrong with such an obvious attack, then this merchant player may have a problem.
At the same time, the sales volume of the two shipyards fell rapidly, from 50 or 60 ships per day, to 20 or 30 ships. Players who originally planned to buy ships for shipping have suspended their ship purchases and began to wait and see how fierce the secret battle between the two shipyards will be.
Qin Xiaobai had been calmly watching the battle. Although most of these days, it is the Zhoushui Alliance Security Department, Zhoushui Shipyard, and Zhoushui's three shipping chambers of commerce that are dealing with Bohai Shipyard, he rarely takes a stand.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't just ask about it.
For the monopoly of shipbuilding and shipping, he is determined to win. This is directly related to his overall strategic layout in the Yan State and even in the north of the entire Zhou Dynasty. Mastering shipbuilding and shipping is equivalent to mastering the ticket to naval warfare. There are not even ships, what kind of naval battles are there to fight?
If you don't have a ticket, you'll be part of the audience, cheering at the victory or frustrated at the loss. And as a member of the field, he can directly control the fate of the war and score the winning goal.
From a long time ago, he did not like to be in the hands of others, he was used to being in control of himself.
It became the time when Wang asked him whether he would approve the "attack on the ships produced by the Bohai Shipyard".
Qin Xiaobai thought for a while.
In the previous rounds of the battle, Lonely had been forced into a puddle and stained with mud, while Zhoushui Shipyard did not. Lonely started a full-scale harassment battle, this is to drag Zhoushui Shipyard into the water together, and not let Zhoushui Shipyard clean. Or, let Zhoushui Shipyard let him fall into a puddle with him, then see who sinks deeper and drowns first.
Qin Xiaobai said to become the king, "If you want to fight, you will get a result, you can't go up or down, play a half-tone, and make everyone embarrassed." ”
Becoming the king's heart and understanding, the little white boss will accompany him to the end this time, and he will take down the Bohai Shipyard at any cost. He also has this ambition, his one-month term as the vice chairman of the Zhoushui Alliance has arrived, and he should have stepped down and handed it over to the next player to lead the "Thousands of Miles Without Staying", but because of this action, the resignation was delayed.
Within the Zhoushui Alliance, he belonged to a minority of neutral forces, and only a higher prestige could maintain his current position.
He needs to use this military campaign to defeat the Bohai Shipyard to prove that his command ability is outstanding, bring more prestige to himself among the players of the Zhoushui Alliance, and also prepare for his next appointment as the vice chairman of the Zhoushui Alliance. This kind of opportunity to perform in front of all the other faction leaders of the Zhou Shui Alliance was rare, and he cherished this opportunity very much.
The fierce fight is far from over.
If this stops, then what is the previous behavior of the two shipyards, and can they find themselves guilty? One of the two must fall, or the battle will not end.
A day later, the Zhoushui Alliance once again took out a sum of 300,000 copper coins worth of supplies as a fee, and hired more rogue ships to attack the Bohai Shipyard. This operation was not by force, but by financial resources to smash the other party to the ground.
Not to be outdone, the Bohai Shipyard did not have supplies, but they had money. Their money was all obtained from the sale of cabin ships before, a total of three or four hundred cabin ships were sold, and there was money. Whoever can't hold out first will be eliminated from the competition. No one wants to be eliminated, and everyone wants to hold out until the other is eliminated. At this point, I can't care so much.
Lonely ordered, took out 200,000 copper coins, smashed!
Become a king, you still dare to smash!? Then I'll smash it too, supplies worth 300,000 copper coins!
Under the circumstance that both sides deliberately covered and provided means of transportation, the rogues who were rarely seen in the heart of the Yan Kingdom once again appeared frequently on various rivers, harassing and attacking the ships of the two shipyards. Its level of activity has simply stunned countless merchants, and they thought that they had entered the era of rogue bandits.
The fierce harassment and assault have seriously affected the safety and smoothness of river transportation, which costs more protection money than the No. 6 carriage and is more unsafe. Player merchants buy boats because they are more profitable than horse-drawn carriages. Now that shipping is more expensive than road transportation, they have abandoned plans to buy cabin ships. There are also far fewer ships transporting on the waterways of the various rivers.
The sales of merchant ships at the two shipyards quickly dropped sharply from about twenty or thirty ships a day to less than one or two. In other words, now shipbuilding can no longer be sold, and it cannot be exchanged for any money.
Without any revenue from shipbuilding, the two shipyards were forced to stop production. fell into a mud puddle, waiting for the other party to be unable to hold on, and fell down first.
But this mud pit is slightly different for both sides.
Zhoushui Shipyard, even if it doesn't have any income, it has the big tree of Zhoushui Alliance to support it. As long as Qin Xiaobai did not give up his plan to monopolize the shipbuilding industry for a day, and mobilized the huge financial resources of the entire Zhoushui Alliance to continuously inject funds into it, it would be able to survive for a day.
Bohai Shipyard, all its income comes from the shipyard, without the income from the sale of ships, it loses its blood. Moreover, it has to continue to invest money, compete with the Zhoushui Shipyard, and hire rogues to attack the Zhoushui Alliance's cabin ships. This means that it is bleeding constantly.
If it had stopped hiring rogues and stopped attacking the ships of the Zhoushui Shipyard, and the Zhoushui Shipyard had not stopped hiring the rogues and continued to attack the ships produced by the Bohai Shipyard. Soon, all the ships sailing on the river will be the merchant ships of the Zhoushui Alliance, and there will never be a single merchant ship from the Bohai Shipyard again.
Half a month is the limit of Bohai Shipyard's financial support, and all its financial resources are only enough to fight for half a month. At this time, that is, when the Bohai Shipyard is finished.
Lonely, Mu Ne looked at the various attack reports and information that his subordinates kept coming, his mind was chaotic, and there was a desperate look in his eyes. That's it? No, there must still be a chance.
