Section 45 Distant Diagrams

Lu Man slowly heard some clues from the conversation between the two, and his face also showed a knowing smile, and he licked his lips excitedly, "Well, Helian, he is worthy of being an old man, with a unique vision, and he can see it accurately, hehe, it's a good idea, it's worth discussing." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Liang Boss, Helian said a very feasible surname. β
"Boss Liang, I've already done some investigations, and now the situation in the Indean Kingdom, which lives next door to us, is chaotic, and there are a lot of loopholes to exploit. Last year we taught the Punjabs a lesson, and now these guys are smart, and they don't come to our side at all, but their enmity with the Hyderabad tribe is getting deeper and deeper, not only robbing the caravan of the Hyderabad tribe, but now it has developed to the point of capturing the other party's population and then selling them into slavery, I heard that the Hyderabad tribe has returned its own body with its own way, and has also begun to start like the Punjab civilians, I don't see that the slave market here in our Shuangdui has flourished a lot, and Indean slaves abound, all of which are bought cheaply by slave traders of both races from the nobles of their respective tribes, I heard that the price of Indean slaves in the territory of Komini in the south and the Rope people in the north has also plummeted, probably because there are too many people to help. "Helian Bo had obviously had some ideas for a long time, but he just took the opportunity to say them.
Lu Man also screamed: "Hehe, it just so happens that Lord Xiao mentioned in the letter that he wants to raise the slave trade tax rate uniformly, and I am still worried about whether those guys will be dissatisfied, since the business is booming, it is estimated that they will have nothing to say." β
"Hmph, what is your little tax? Those guys are all making a lot of money, how can they care about your few? Now that the price of Indean slaves has plummeted, I see that many slave merchants in our double pile are also buying in large quantities, and I heard that the big families headed by those few have all hoarded hundreds of slaves, and even Chunxianglou has bought a lot, and most of the girls there have become Indean women. Helian Bo said with a spit flying.
"Hehe, no wonder, it turned out that I got the news from Chunxianglou, Helian, your sources are really extensive. Liang Chongxin also smiled and glanced at the other party.
"Well, I came across something I learned once in a while. A little embarrassed, Helian Bo quickly changed the topic back: "Now the people of Hyderabad are also unceremoniously attacking the Punjabs, of course, the Punjabs are even more unwilling to be left behind, with the Tik Ministry as their backing, they even sent troops to rush into the depths of the territory of the Hyderabad Department to loot treasures, people and livestock, I heard that there have been several skirmishes with the army of the Hyderabad Department, the two sides have damaged each other, and the fire is getting stronger and stronger. β
"Helian, do you mean that we will help fight while collecting the reward fee, or will we just grab it openly like the two of them? I'm afraid that neither of these methods will be approved by Master Li, right?" Lu Man gradually calmed down after being excited.
"Hehe, of course it's not an open robbery, we can change our clothes and rush in to fish in troubled waters and make a big profit, as long as we plan well, it is estimated that there is a lot of oil and water." When Helian Bo talked about his old business, he was naturally familiar with the road.
"Then you have to choose a good target, if you are like both of them to loot the treasure population, it is not of much value, and the target is too big and obvious to be cost-effective. Luhmann carefully calculated the pros and cons.
"Who said we should be like them? Population raiding is the most clumsy method, the impact is bad, the profit is thin, the risk is high, and the big money is made by the traffickers. Helian Bo shook his head disdainfully, looking like an expert, "The territory of the Indean Kingdom is rich in gold, and the output of gold mines and gold sand is extremely high, and their people all use gold decoration as the most noble symbol, and the nobles in the country are proud of who owns more gold, and many nobles are vassals and elegant, learning from those nobles in the western continent who like to collect antiques, and the nobles who have a little foundation have a large number of gold antiques hidden in their homes, hehe, this is an inexhaustible cornucopia, it depends on whether we dare to move them." β
As the commander-in-chief of the garrison in North Luzon, he had a good understanding of the domestic situation in this large and weak neighbor to the west, and to be honest, he still put a little effort into studying this complex neighbor.
To put it bluntly, although this nominal kingdom has a vast territory and a large population, the idea of internal separatism has long soaked the whole country, with a huge and complex tribal composition, hostile religious beliefs, uneven development speed of various forces, and contradictions in the distribution of vested interests, all of which have made this dynasty, which is not inferior to the empire to which it belongs, has fallen into serious decline, and in Liang Chongxin's view, its collapse is only a matter of time, it is just who will complete this historical mission, like a clay giant in the wind and rain, and it will fall to the ground and turn into ashes when the time comesγ
But no one seems to be aware of this among its people, who live in the body of giants, and several major tribes compete for supremacy for their own interests, making the already dangerous dynasty even more shaky. Fertile land, abundant resources, and a large population make the nobles living at the top of society even more poor and luxurious, while the people living at the bottom are poorly clothed and unable to eat.
The Hyderabad tribe has declined but still holds the central power, and the Tik and Yakuan tribes in the south have been vaguely unwilling to settle down, so the intensification of contradictions is inevitable, and this side of the jaya is just a bird exposed to the outside. How should he take advantage of the present favorable situation to truly gain benefits for the northwest and northern Luzon? Liang Chongxin pondered this question silently.
Although the military strength of the Inderabad tribes is far less than that of its neighbors, the huge population resources make them not lack of soldiers, of course, it does not mean that the number of soldiers can determine the strength of the army's combat effectiveness, otherwise the Hyderabad tribe has twice as many troops as the Rope, but they are still repeatedly defeated by the Ropes and forced to accept humiliating conditions. I remember that Master Li once said to himself that the Indean people will be good farmers, good workers and good businessmen, but they will definitely not be the best soldiers.
Will he directly intervene to support the Hyderabad Ministry in launching a counterattack against the Punjab Ministry, or will he secretly and indirectly support it in other ways to obtain the other party's financial help? Or will he take special measures to get a handful of money first, as Helianbo said? Several ideas were swirling in Liang Chongxin's mind, making him a little undecided. Direct intervention is now clearly inappropriate, and Lord Lee will not agree to another large-scale war in the west at this moment, unless the situation in the east changes dramatically. It is difficult to say how much more realistic benefits can be obtained by covert indirect support, and there are advantages and disadvantages to taking extraordinary measures and taking considerable risks in the way Helenbo said.
Seeing that the military commander of Northern Luzon thought silently for a long time but still had no intention of speaking, Helian Bo said impatiently: "Boss Liang, anyway, Lord Li has entrusted you with full authority over the military power of Northern Luzon and the Western Regions. β
Hearing Helian Bo say so casually, Liang Chong's confidence was as if something had suddenly pierced open that layer of diaphragm, yes, why should he worry so much, since Master Li handed over the military affairs of Northern Luzon and the Western Regions to himself, he can have a good time within his own authority, and he will not know until the end whether he wins or loses, so he is afraid of wolves and tigers and dare not give it a try, how can he know the result behind it?
Nodding emphatically, a trace of confidence flashed on Liang Chongxin's face, "Well, it seems that this is an opportunity, at the moment, our Northern Luzon is still quiet, and it is estimated that there will be no changes in the divisions and regiments of the Western Regions with mountain pillars stationed in the mountains, so we can take this opportunity to train our troops." Now we can discuss it and look at a foolproof way to see what is best to do. β
Seeing Liang Chongxin nodding in support of his opinion, Helian Bo's face suddenly flushed, and a pair of dark yellow eyes were full of light, he stood up suddenly, rubbed his hands vigorously and said with a smile: "Okay, Boss Liang, you make a big plan first, I'll do the errands below, those rich and unkind guys in the west, we have to fiddle with them this time, if we don't get him millions of gold coins, Lao Tzu won't be called Helianbo!"
"Don't get excited, we have to find the target first, and some other measures must also follow. Liang Chongxin shook his hand steadily and motioned for Helian Bo to sit down, and said unhurriedly: "Plan and then move, Helian, you are also an old soldier, why are you so uncomposed?"
"Hehe, Boss Liang, I'm so excited, I've been holding it for so long, just waiting for something to do, my hands are itching. Helian Bo scratched his head and sat down embarrassedly.
"Boss Liang, ;;;;;;what do you mean?" Lu Man also knew that this colleague must have his own ideas.
"Well, this Indean chaos is a matter of time, and Lord Li has already led the line of the Hyderabad Department for us, so we might as well use it. Lu Man, since the iron ore mine in your north has entered the peak production season, then Shuangdui Province can naturally build a few iron factories, as for who invests, I think you must find a way. It is estimated that with the war, the need for weapons and iron tools for the Indians will increase significantly, and we can also sell them at a good price. I would like to contact the Hyderabad Ministry immediately to see if we can send some military instructors to help their army improve its combat effectiveness, of course, it will not have much effect in the short term, but we can gradually expand our influence in the Indrian's kingdom and lay the foundation for the future. β
Liang Chongxin's words made Lu Man and Helian Bo also have to sigh to themselves, in just a short period of time, the other party has already considered the situation of the entire Indean Kingdom from a more far-reaching perspective in the future, which cannot but make the two of them feel admired.
"Of course, the method proposed by Helian is the fastest and most direct means for us to obtain benefits, which requires a good set of goals, and a lot of preliminary work in terms of intelligence, logistics, and public opinion. Let's take a few prongs, I think it's not impossible to win a big prize. A proud smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Liang Chongxin looked out the window.
