Chapter 529: The Sweep to Seize the Opportunity

When the people of the Jiuge Gang settled down in the Dongshan County Palace, Li Mu did not let them rest, but gave an order to go down and let people be in front of the palace, oh, now it should be said that before the main hall, everyone gathered and stood by.

Xu Chong and Pei Miao each led the people of Yunzhongtang and Xiangshuitang. Si Ming Hall and Mountain Ghost Hall are after them. Simingtang is the elite of the Nine Songs Gang, and the Mountain Ghost Hall is the original Nuluo's medical hall, and now Li Mu has changed his name and is called the Mountain Ghost. These names are all converted from the "Nine Songs". When Li Mu named the Nine Songs Gang, he already had a draft.

However, the name of Hebo is used in a somewhat special way. Originally, Hebotang was set up, mainly focusing on logistics, and of course also included a series of work such as defense. But at the beginning of the establishment of the Nine Song Gang, there was only such a place as the macho gambling house. In other words, there is not much to do, the financial power is in Yi Fan's hands, and most of Hebotang is buying firewood, rice, oil and salt. Therefore, Yi Fan also put Wu Beware, who was more than clever and incapacitated, in Hebotang.

But now that's a different story. The Dongshan County Mansion became the headquarters of the Nine Songs Gang, and its area and scale are incomparable. Although the place belongs to the imperial court, it is somewhat shocking. But you can't rely on deterrence as a defense, right? Li Mu still wants to sleep peacefully. Therefore, the status of Hebotang suddenly became important, and it was a little inappropriate to use Wu Beware.

It's a pity that the people who charge into battle and shout and kill have to catch a lot of them, and they can manage the work such as gang logistics in an orderly manner, which is really rare.

It's not uncommon, for example, Xu Chong is a good candidate. However, when Li Mu first built the structure of the Nine Songs Gang, Xu Chong was an indispensable part of training the gang and dealing with the things in the gang. Now Xu Chong is the master of the Cloud Hall, and it is not appropriate to transfer him. Fa Wei sent by the Lu family is a good candidate, but he is not a member of the Nine Songs Gang after all. After thinking about it, Li Mu could only let Yi Fan take over temporarily, and then pick another one to see if there was a suitable candidate.

Looking at the more than 100 people under the steps, no matter how calm Li Mu was, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. He glanced at Yi Fan, and Yi Fan was also full of smiles on his face. Li Mu turned his head and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

The Nine Songs Gang's goal today is the dock in the north of Kanfang. The Tuojiang River comes from Lingzhou, joins the Da Nan River in the northeast of Yacheng, and then goes southeast together. This water system is the main transportation route connecting the north and the south in the central part of the city. Coupled with the passage through the capital city of Yacheng, the value of its water transportation is naturally self-evident.

There are five piers in the north of Kanfang, each located in different locations. Among them, there are three adjacent to the Tuojiang River, namely Cangli Wharf, Beichang Wharf, and Zhouxi Wharf.

On the Renyuan River, which surrounds the outermost part of Yacheng, there are two wharves as a turnover into the city, namely Chonggao Wharf and Hanhai Wharf. Of the five terminals, only Zhouxiu Pier is a passenger terminal, and the others are all cargo terminals.

There are many livelihoods on the docks, such as boats, warehouses, accommodation, food, etc., but the most important of them is storage.

When the goods arrive at the dock, there must be a place for manual unloading. For those goods that cannot be traded immediately, of course, it is necessary to find a warehouse to put them.

There are many ships that do shipping on the water, and there are many Cao Gangs. After the ship arrives, how to load and unload, how to replenish, that is a great consideration of the Cao Gang's dispatching ability.

When the North and South Gangs were in the past, the warehouses of these five docks were all under their sphere of influence. However, the Cao gang was powerful, and their ships came with the goods of various merchants. Wherever they wanted, they stopped. The income of the onshore warehouse depends on the eyes of the Cao Gang.

What the Jiuge Gang has to do now is to do the opposite, use shore storage, and fight back against the Cao Gang.

This first step is naturally to seize the opportunity and let the businesses on these docks be surnamed Li.

The Nine Songs Gang is the might, and the Lu family is the benefit. The four words coercion and temptation have to be put together to be appropriate.

The Jiuge Gang soldiers divided into three routes and went to the wharf on the Datuo River first. It has only been a few days since the North and South Gangs were exterminated, and it is really a good time and place to take advantage of the situation at this time.

Li Mu also understood more why Lu Yu wanted to hurry up and do this. Because the Cao Gang adopts the method of agency, relying on local forces to manage the shore business, and they will only leave a small number of people to be responsible for the commission and the Cao Gang's own supplies. After the North-South Gang relinquished its position, there was a brief vacuum in the onshore industry. Although the four families of Ninglu Wang Li are all interested in getting involved, in such a short period of time, they may not have time to mobilize people from their homes.

At this time, the local forces in Yacheng can be said to have taken the lead.

Of course, there is more than one Nine Songs Gang in Yacheng, and if the Nine Songs Gang can take advantage of the void, will the other gangs not think of it?

In addition to the Da Kun Gang, the Snake Gang and the Juggernaut Gang, as well as some other marginal forces, also extended their hands to due north Kanfang. If you don't take advantage of it, that's a bastard. With a piece of meat in your mouth, can you resist taking a bite?

The Snake Gang seized a part of the warehouse at the Beichang Wharf, which is the closest to the Northeast Qianfang.

The Juggernaut Gang wants to meddle in two docks on the Renyuan River.

If the Nine Songs want to take over all the dock businesses, they must clear the obstacles for themselves.

In the final analysis, it is still coercion and temptation. It may not be enough to do it with the power of the Nine Song Gang, but after adding the Lu family, it will be very important.

"The Juggernaut want to put their hand in, but it won't work. The Renyuan River is connected to the outer river, and the two wharves must not be conceded to each other. If there is resistance, just arrest it first. "Li Mu's order was given to Xu Chong, after all, he was originally one of the ten hall masters of the Juggernaut Gang. Although he has long since quit the gang, there are always acquaintances.

Li Mu believed that Xu Chong would not have any thoughts about the past. However, Nian Zai had released kindness to himself at the beginning of the Juggernaut Gang, and he thought of the principle of salute first and then soldier, Xu Chong was indeed the best candidate. As for the Snake Gang, Li Mu and Yi Fan still have a relationship, so they can only let Yi Fan send someone to talk about it first and explore the situation.

In the plan of the Nine Song Gang and the Lu family, none of these five docks can be allowed. Because this is the weight they must hold in their hands when facing the Cao Gang's counterattack.

As I said earlier, the Cao Gang is powerful because of water transportation. This gives the Cao Gang a very powerful ability, that is, the Cao Gang can use the adjustment of water transportation to target the business on the shore.

For example, the Cao Gang felt that the North and South Gang had different intentions, and directly notified the merchants that they were not docked at the docks within the North-South Gang's sphere of influence, so that the dock business would inevitably be damaged. For small docks, there is even the possibility of being directly abandoned.

Yacheng is the capital of the world, and there are many merchants who come and go. The Jiu Ge Gang occupies the dock in Kanfang, due north, and it is not clear whether the Cao Gang will use this kind of damage that is not very self-interested.

However, if you take 10,000 steps back and firmly grasp the five docks in your own hands, then you will have the capital to bargain with the Cao Gang.

Even if the fish die in the end, the Cao Gang will not do the business of these docks. The Nine Song Gang is not like the North and South Gang, which can only be controlled by others.

There is no other reason, just because the Lu family is here. The Lu family is one of the four major families, with a wide variety of businesses, and maintains contacts with a large number of businesses.

If the Cao Gang doesn't do the business of the Jiuge Gang's wharf, isn't the Lu family in the middle of it? The Tuojiang River in the north of Yacheng is equivalent to becoming its own wharf, and it must be easy to form a fleet with their financial resources. There are docks, ships, and the contacts of major merchants.

The Lu family can easily scoop a big spoonful into the Cao Gang's money-making rice bowl and eat it.
