Chapter 449: The New Situation in the Southern Rivers and Lakes
It seems that the peaceful and stable environment in the world is a good time for the development of gangs?
An iron gate suddenly appeared in the southern Wuhou Territory, and the rudder instantly spread throughout the major towns of the Wuhou Territory, filling the vacancy that the Wuhou Territory did not have gangs in the rivers and lakes in the blink of an eye.
Later, from the iron gate, the eagle claw gate and the ground gate were divided, and the power was not as vast as the iron gate, but it also had a lot of power and development potential.
Such an astonishing change made Southern Wulin dumbfounded for a while.
It wasn't until these few Jianghu forces suddenly emerged that Wu Houling lifted the restrictions on the access of foreign gangs after Wu Houling completed the layout.
However, there are also small restrictions that vary from place to place.
For example, there are strict restrictions on the number of people in the hall, and the disciples of the major gangs must report to the local government and garrison in order to get temporary residency, and there are also strict restrictions on the number of people who recruit locals to join the gang.
With such layers of restrictions, ordinary scattered people and forces simply can't stand it.
The strange thing is that several famous gangs in the southern martial arts, such as the Giant Kun Gang, the Water Dragon Gang, and the Haisha Gang, are honestly set up in accordance with Wu Houling's rules. Don't dare to overstep the slightest recess.
There is no way, who called Wu Houling The interests involved are too great, so big that several well-known gangs in the south are unwilling to give up, and only by being honest and obedient can they get a piece of the pie.
What makes them feel helpless the most is that Wu Houling's sudden appearance of the iron gate, the eagle claw gate and the ground door, although there is no first-class master in the rivers and lakes, the martial arts used are all things on the bad streets of the rivers and lakes, but they can't stand the number of second-rate masters, so many that the scalp of several large southern gangs is numb, and they dare not provoke easily.
Fools can see that these new gangs that have risen rapidly and will soon have a complete layout in Wu Houling, and the relationship between them and Wu Hou will make fools rashly provoke.
Especially in the Iron Gate, more than 30 second-rate masters of the rivers and lakes have emerged in one breath, although all of them are the existence of cultivating horizontal and horizontal external skills, they should not be underestimated.
Don't look at the famous names of several large gangs in the south, but most of the first-class masters in the gang are only one, and the rest of the backbone high-level are also second-rate level, what do you use to coerce the iron gate?
When they found out, the Iron Gate masters and elite disciples, almost all of them came from the army under the command of Wu Hou, what else did they not understand?
What made them even more frightened was that most of the iron cloth shirts that the iron gate masters had not practiced martial arts for more than five years!
In other words, it only took less than five years for Wu Hou to cultivate dozens of foreign masters who are equivalent to second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes!
The news spread quickly in the inner circle of the southern martial arts, shocking the gang of old men and gang bosses, is there any reason for this?
If you give Tiemen a few more years of development time, wouldn't there be a master of Tiemen, and it is possible to break through to the first-class level of the rivers and lakes?
Even if they were given ten years to break through, it would be quite an amazing force.
The Eagle Claw Gate and the Earth Gate are not to be worried, these two gates are also created by the strong men of the army under the command of Wu Hou, but it is a pity that the strongest one is only at the peak level of the third-rate peak, and it has no impact on the large gangs in the south for the time being.
For the behemoth Iron Gate that suddenly appeared, it was not without the first-class masters of the Southern Martial Arts that thought about it.
As long as you can take the Iron Gate under control, you can instantly become one of the most powerful bosses in the southern martial arts, and even be on a par with the leaders of the Water Dragon Gang, the Giant Kun Gang and the Haisha Gang.
As for Wu Hou's dissatisfaction, these first-class masters of the southern martial arts with incomplete sources didn't care.
They thought that their martial arts were high enough, so they didn't have to worry about Wu Hou's dissatisfaction, and they could even threaten Wu Hou to give them a greater share of benefits and benefits.
It's beautiful to think about!
As a result, some first-class masters of the southern martial arts couldn't wait to rush to Wuhou Ling, but they were greeted by the famous masters of the two sects of the Holy Gate.
No matter which one they are, they all have the strength of first-class masters, and some have even reached the innate realm, how can they be compared with ordinary first-class masters in the southern rivers and lakes?
Whether in the high martial arts or low martial arts world, the three sects of Dao, Buddha and Demon are all authentic in the rivers and lakes, and the masters cultivated are almost the strongest in the same realm, and the general casual cultivation cannot be compared.
The elder-level masters of the Yin Kwai Sect are the most active, and they have reached an agreement with Wu Hou Lei Lake, and Wu Hou Ling will become the place where the Yin Kwai Sect gathers wealth, and it is also the largest place to provide reserve talents in the future.
They have made a lot of industries in prosperous towns such as Gusu, Jiaxing, Hucheng and Qiantang, with everything they need for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they can provide hundreds of thousands of taels of wealth for the Yinkui faction every year.
Without the need for Sect Master Zhu Yuyan to speak, the elder-level masters below took the initiative to ask for help, revealing their strength to deter Xiaoxiao, and whoever dared to offend would definitely not end well.
There are also other forces of the Holy Gate who have also poured into Wu Houling, stopping their industries in the prosperous towns, and the wealth will naturally not make others cheaper in the future.
Although the top masters of the two sects and six realms of the Holy Gate did not come forward, the second-level first-class masters were not something that ordinary Jianghu forces could easily offend.
Don't look at the Holy Gate in the hands of Buddhism, it doesn't seem to be pleased, but compared to other forces in the rivers and lakes, the Holy Gate is definitely a behemoth that cannot be easily provoked.
No, after the Yin Kui Sect and other masters of the Holy Gate forces came forward, the ambitious first-class masters of the Southern Martial Arts suddenly extinguished their thoughts of getting involved in the Iron Gate, and at the same time regarded Wu Houling as a tiger's den in Longtan, and they would not easily come to make trouble unless they had to do so or were fully prepared.
These are naturally arranged by Lei Hu behind the scenes.
Since there is no way to avoid the disputes in the rivers and lakes, then take the initiative to integrate into the rivers and lakes, and launch the three rivers and lakes sects of the Iron Gate, the Eagle Claw Gate and the Dibanmen, and firmly control the dominance of the affairs of the rivers and lakes in the territory, so as to avoid other accidents that cause the territory to suffer losses.
At the same time, the two factions and six realms of the Holy Gate were invited to join, and they were induced to dispatch their masters with benefits, and several major gangs that were still in the early stage of development were temporarily escorted.
As for the price paid, it is nothing to Lei Hu.
He has ideas about all the factions of the Holy Gate, and they all inherit the mainstream factions of the hundred schools of thought during the Warring States Period, and have evolved by absorbing some of the essence of other factions.
Don't look at the Holy Gate at this time, it seems that it has become a pure martial arts force, but their heritage is profound, and with the well-preserved classics of the Hundred Schools of Thought, it is easy to restore part of the old scene of the Hundred Schools of Thought during the Warring States Period.
Not only did he think so, but he also asked for the six high-level leaders of the Holy Gate.
What the territory needs is not a master of tearing and killing on the rivers and lakes, but talents who have learned the essence of the hundred schools of thought and can participate in the development and construction of the territory in all aspects.
Attracted by the huge interests, the high-level leaders of the two factions and six realms of the Holy Gate, except for a few years, have expressed that they will follow the instructions of Wu Hou, pick up the precious classics left by their ancestors, and cultivate professionals according to the doctrines they inherited.
This is definitely a rare experience for the various factions of the Holy Gate, and it is also a great opportunity to help them transform, or improve their strength.
In Lei Hu's view, the main reason why the Holy Gate is not as powerful as the Buddhist Gate is that the Holy Gate does not reflect enough value for the attention of the superiors.
There is absolutely no shortage of thugs around the superiors, what they lack is talents who can help govern the local area and improve the overall strength of the power territory.
Although Buddhism does not have talents in this area, it can not stand the strength of the unity of the Buddhist temples in the world is extremely amazing, and the superior is to stabilize the internal situation, and he has to look down on Buddhism.
The Holy Gate is much worse in this regard, the Holy Gate is the most powerful in the Legend of the Border Wilderness, and the Demon Lord Mu Qingliu has become an important staff member around Hengxuan, and in the end, it is not not reused, and he withdrew from the historical stage after Hengxuan's failure?
If there were a large number of talents under the Demon Lord Mu Qingliu at that time, who were proficient in the academics of the hundreds of schools, would Heng Xuan still despise him so much?
These are all digressions, Lei Hu has its own ideas for governing the locality, which is quite different from the officialdom system of the Great Sui, and the management mode of intensive cultivation of the territory requires a large number of professionals in all aspects.
In addition to hoping that their strength will be stronger and more comprehensive, he also wants to cultivate professional talents for his rule, and he will inevitably need the support of the Holy Gate factions in the future.
Because of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, there was a lot of turmoil in the territory for a long time, and it was only after the power of the Iron Gate was completely stabilized that the Eagle Claw Gate and the Earth Gate even began to expand to the surrounding counties and counties, and then it slowly subsided.
Several large Jianghu forces in the south, such as the Water Dragon Gang, the Jukun Gang and the Haisha Gang, were intimidated by the strength of the masters of the Iron Gate and the Holy Gate, but they only set up commercial strongholds and halls in Wuhou Ling, and did not have the idea of expanding their power on a large scale.
As long as these guys are honest, Lei Hu doesn't mind letting him make a lot of profits.
At this time, Haiyan was untouchable, the size and strength of the territory were still a little worse, if he could occupy the southern provinces of the future, he would not mind introducing the method of drying sea salt, completely destroying the salt administration of the government, as well as the order of private salt.
It's just that it obviously won't work out at the moment, and only a few large gangs can make a large amount of private salt profits.
What Lei Hu didn't expect was that he was almost forced to get out of a few Jianghu forces in advance, specifically to deal with the challenges of foreign Jianghu forces and some affairs, but what he didn't expect was that with the rapid external expansion of the Eagle Claw Gate and the Dichuan Gate, it was easy to take down the territory of the neighboring counties where the power was empty.
It seems that there are several places connected to the territory in Huiji, and all the territory of the rivers and lakes has been taken by the newly rising Eagle Claw Gate and the Earth Trip Gate, which saves him a lot of trouble.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that it has just experienced rebellion and counterinsurgency, and there is a serious underdevelopment of the population and is not valued by the large gangs in the south.
But no matter what, the gang forces under his command have mastered the local forces in the neighboring counties, which is good news for Lei Hu.
He can completely make the neighboring counties and territories seamlessly connected, no matter what the official situation is after a long time, the people will get used to the rules and systems of the territory, and if these places are annexed in the future, it will be much easier and will not cause too much trouble!
