Chapter 41 Dark Fire Reborn
When the first rays of dawn illuminated Nanqingcheng, the fire gradually went out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe leaders of the large and small mercenary groups in Nanqing City are all gathered in the base of the ice wolf at this moment, most of them have blue eyebrows and swollen faces, and some have even been carried in.
Although there were many people present, they were all silent, and there was not even a single breather. The eyes of the people were full of fear, and they didn't even dare to look at the witch.
Ji Tianqing commanded several mercenary group leaders to build a platform, and the Ice Wolf was also among them. He was still a big man in Nanqing City the night before, and today he had to carry a log and work as a coolie there.
There are many general-level powerhouses working, and a simple platform has been set up in a blink of an eye, Ji Tianqing commanded people to put a big chair that I don't know where to move on the platform, and then beckoned to Qianye: "Come up!"
Qianye Muran took the stage, was pressed into a chair by Ji Tianqing, and faced the large and small mercenary leaders in the audience.
Ji Tianqing took a step back, stood behind Qianye, and said loudly: "From today on, we ...... What's the name of the mercenary group?"
"It's sunny. Song Zining replied expressionlessly.
"No, of course it's Qishao!"
"Phew, I don't want such a terrible mercenary group!"
"You don't want it, you have to ask for it!"
"That's a mercenary group of Thousand Nights, why should I?"
Ji Tianqing slapped his forehead, "That's right!
"No, I can't. "Qianye finally couldn't bear it anymore.
After a lot of noise, it was finally decided to let the Darkfire mercenary group reappear in a neutral place, and the name of this mercenary group was "Darkfire".
Ji Tianqing immediately raised his voice and said: "From now on, you are all members of the Dark Fire Mercenary Group, give you half a day to finish the matter, and come back in the evening to report." Whoever dares not to come, will bear the consequences, anyway, the example has been shown to you!"
The leaders of the mercenaries are only promised, how can anyone dare to say a word?
Ji Tianqing was very satisfied, patted the back of the chair, and said, "This Qianye will be the head of the mercenary group in the future." ”
She pointed to herself again and said, "I am the lieutenant of the regiment commander, have you all remembered?"
All the leaders bowed in unison and shouted, "Lord Adjutant!"
This lineup, this momentum, is like Qianye is Ji Tianqing's adjutant. The seven young people next to him couldn't sit still, took a step forward, and said loudly: "This young Song Zining will be the chief military advisor of the mercenary group!"
All the leaders looked at each other, and none of them had heard of Song Zining's name, and they didn't know where this person came from.
Ji Tianqing was triumphant and shouted: "Let's all disperse, go back to work! At six o'clock in the evening, gather here on time!"
"Yes, Adjutant!" replied the leaders.
In the blink of an eye, the courtyard was empty, and there were only the Ice Wolf and a few senior deacons of the Ice Wolf Mercenary Regiment left next to it. Qianye sat on the high platform, without saying a word, like a statue, looking at the empty courtyard.
From the beginning to the end, there was nothing to do with him. Except for the title of the head of the regiment, it did not play any other role. The leaders didn't even look at him a few times, as if this regimental leader was air.
In fact, there are quite a few mercenaries who know Qianye, and they also know his record to some extent. It's just that these mercenaries in Nanqing City have a really low status in the mercenary world, and even the ice wolves are only a few people who can participate in the battle of the Black Forest. The strength of Qianye, they have only heard of it, but they have not seen it with their own eyes. And Ji Tianqing just beat each of them hard, and with a wave of his palm, he could fly seven or eight people. In contrast, he was naturally more afraid of Ji Tianqing.
The next step is to renovate the courtyard, anyway, there are strong people led by the ice wolf as coolies, and the construction process is extremely fast. Qianye stayed at the site to supervise the work, while Song Zining went to charter a nearby hotel as a temporary residence. And Ji Tianqing ran around to see if those mercenary leaders dared to disobey the yang and yin, be lazy behind their backs, and not listen to her orders.
If you are busy, it will be evening in the blink of an eye. A group of big and small leaders returned to the ice wolf's base one after another, but only two of them didn't arrive.
The leaders present carried with them the roster of the mercenary group, the list of property and armament, and the title deed of the residence. This is like going bankrupt, saying that it is co-opted, but it is better to be robbed. However, it is better to lose one's life than to lose one's life, and last night, Ji Tianqing had already taught them this truth.
Ji Tianqing casually pointed out a few leaders and counted them by category. She herself divided these people into groups and divided them into classes. It is nothing more than deacons of the first, second and third levels, and the soldiers and horses that each person can lead are different.
Her grouping may seem casual, but it's actually quite mysterious. Powerful and obedient are a group, and they have the highest status. The second is the one who has no strength but is obedient, the one who has the strength is not very obedient again, and the last one is the one who has no strength and is not very obedient, and is directly pushed to the end, only a little higher than ordinary mercenaries.
In the end, the group of people was unconvinced, but one who took the lead in stirring up trouble was slapped to death by Ji Tianqing, and no one dared to say more than half a word. At this time, they finally understood that maybe Ji Tianqing was waiting for them to jump out, otherwise how could there be an excuse to kill?
It was noisy until midnight, and the new Darkfire Mercenary Group was actually sorted out. The upper and lower structure, the composition of high-ranking deacons, how to disassemble and reorganize the mercenary groups, and the distribution of the stations are all completed one by one. What finally appeared in front of Qianye was a behemoth with as many as 4,000 members and nearly 10 battles. In terms of strength alone, it is far beyond the dark fire of the day.
With so many complicated affairs, I am afraid that it will take ten days and half a month to be busy with others. But in Ji Tianqing's hands, big and small things passed like flowing water, smoothly. She didn't brag, in terms of the talent of an adjutant, looking at the entire empire, there were probably few people who could compare with her.
On the one hand, this is because of Ji Tianqing's talent, and on the other hand, it is also because of her arbitrariness. All the leaders were beaten to the point that as long as it was her decision, no one dared to say a word.
From beginning to end, Qianye just watched quietly from the sidelines, and had no chance to speak at all, so she sat all night.
The plan was decided, and Ji Tianqing sent everyone back and asked them to count the supplies, hand over the station, and reorganize the troops. This process can take several days.
finally got a vacancy, and at that moment, many leaders of mercenary groups found the City Lord's Mansion through various relationship channels, hoping that Ji Rui could come out to uphold justice. No matter how big or small the mercenary group is, they used to be the kings of their own acres and threes of land, and they are the bosses behind closed doors, where can they bear to suddenly have three more emperors on their heads?
However, Ji Rui closed the door and didn't see anyone, turning a blind eye to what happened at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, just as if it hadn't happened.
In this way, everyone understood what Ji Rui meant: he couldn't afford to offend these three people.
In an instant, all the big and small leaders suddenly felt that it was dark.
Having lost Ji Rui's big backer, some unwilling and self-reliant people took their cronies, rolled up soft, and quietly slipped out of Nanqingcheng while the moon was dark and the wind was high. Most of the mercenary groups were self-aware and understood that they had no ability to survive outside Nanqing City, so they swallowed their anger and accepted the fact that they were merged into the dark fire and had to bow down.
For those mercenary groups who intended to leave, Ji Tianqing did not deliberately embarrass them and let them leave. These people will always have two hearts when they stay, so it is better to get rid of them.
In the past few days, Song Zining and Ji Tianqing were not idle, but negotiated with a commercial house to renegotiate cooperation. The largest source of mercenary groups in Nanqing City, large and small, is to provide protection for these commercial firms. Security in the city is basic, and powerful mercenary groups will send mercenaries to follow the caravan of the merchant house and provide protection along the way. Stronger mercenary groups will even take on combat missions, such as ambushing caravans of rival merchants.
Now the dark fire has almost wiped out the mercenaries in Nanqing City, becoming an unprecedented giant, even Ji Rui is unable to come out, and the negotiations with the commercial bank will naturally have to be restarted.
In the beginning, all the directors of the business houses were worried in their hearts. Similar incidents have happened more than once, and after a mercenary group dominates the land, it will often sit on the ground and raise the price, increase the protection fee several times, or even simply flee the robbers by themselves. In this way, a group of floating wealth will only be robbed, and the trading houses have suffered losses, so they will naturally avoid these places. And a mercenary group without financial resources, no matter how strong it is on the surface, it will inevitably fall apart in the end.
There are many precedents, and the list goes on. However, even if this kind of mercenary group disappears in the end, those trading houses are the worst in the early days of their evil. Therefore, the directors of the Chamber of Commerce are all worried and uneasy.
However, upon contact, the directors of the merchant houses were surprised to find that Darkfire acted completely different from other mercenary groups in the Neutral Lands. Song Zining did not rely on overwhelming power to arbitrarily raise prices and exploit commercial firms, but instead lowered prices on many miscellaneous and sporadic projects, and merged many projects that used to be charged separately. All in all, the cost that commercial banks need to pay has been reduced a lot.
This came as a big surprise to the directors of the firm, but no one would refuse such a good thing. In addition to the surprise, many people are secretly calculating, and when the situation is clear, they will consider increasing their investment in Nanqingcheng.
Next, Song Zining threw out another plan. As long as you set up a weapons workshop, a rare material trading house, or a high-end floating ship equipment in Nanqing City, you will provide mercenary services at half price. Even after the workshop was built, it was willing to invest in 20% of the shares.
This made several directors of large commercial banks excited, and hurriedly asked for details. Although many small commercial banks are not strong enough, they have more or less access to floating ship equipment, so they are also concerned about the standard of 'high-end floating equipment'. After all, in a neutral place, all kinds of arms are hard currency.
Song Zining had already prepared, and immediately took out a copy of the information and distributed it.
When everyone saw it, most of them were disappointed, but a considerable number of people were thoughtful. Song Zining's standard is indeed a bit high, and all kinds of equipment must reach the level of the empire's second-level combat readiness fleet.
This kind of shipboard equipment is not common in neutral places, but it is not completely impossible to open the way to Eternal Night or the Empire.
