Chapter 425 [Big Business to Come]


Chapter 425 There is big business to do Martial law has been placed in the town.

The town that makes the day lively, the street with endless flow of people and cars, seems to have become a ghost street at the moment.

Occasionally, a well-dressed patrol cavalry of the Northwest Independent Division could be seen walking by on the streets, and the eyes of the patrol cavalry were full of vigilance and calmness.

Almost all the shops on both sides of the street are closed.

Originally backed by the Northwest Fortress and relying on Sylvester to sit in the Northwest Independent Division, over the years, he has wantonly colluded with large and small chambers of commerce and business groups in the empire to carry out cross-border smuggling business, and the kind of deformed prosperity brought to this town seems to have been swept away in the sword war a few days ago At this time, there were more than 20 caravans still in the town, which belonged to different large and small chambers of commerce and trade groups, or some wealthy nobles secretly controlled remotely.

These caravans were undoubtedly unlucky.

A few days ago, there was an accident in the Northwest Independent Division, and General Sylvester, who was sitting here, suddenly fell to the new emperor in the imperial capital.

Originally, it was already very unlucky to encounter this kind of thing, but all businessmen didn't want to get entangled with this kind of thing.

Subsequently, the Northwest Independent Division announced the temporary closure of the Northwest Fortress and no longer allowed caravans to enter and leave the border.

This made many caravans who came here to do business panic.

After a few days of waiting, more and more news came from outside, such as the army of the Empire's Thor's Whip had rushed to Nurin Province and blocked the border to Tulip's house.

The new emperor of the imperial capital, Xiluo, made it clear that he wanted to prevent the Tulip family from coming to quell the rebellion.

But the problem is that both the Shiloh Emperor and the Tulip family are far away.

The real problem in front of the big guy is: the Northwest Fortress is closed, what can I do with these caravans that have brought a large group of goods and are ready to leave the country to trade with the orcs Just when several chambers of commerce with strong backgrounds discussed with each other, they were about to send someone to the commander's mansion of the fortress castle to ask the Lord Sylvester to discuss and see if they could go through the door.

Suddenly there was news from the independent division.

Say it's an orc invasion It is said that the army of the orcs has been assembled on the north side of the border, and it is in a posture to attack the northwest fortress, and I heard that the Northwest Independent Division has sent troops to fight two battles with those orcs The news immediately caused an uproar for everyone Orc invasion If the two countries go to war, won't it completely cut off everyone's financial route?

In peacetime, quietly trafficking some prohibited items to the orcs, it is just a matter of making a fortune, even if there is a basket, the backers behind it can be carried out.

But once in the war years, if you dare to sell supplies to the orcs again, you will be charged with collaborating with the enemy.

But the fate of raiding the house and destroying the door The anxious leaders of the Chamber of Commerce immediately showed their powers and began to find a way to inquire about the news.

After all, many chambers of commerce, in and out of the Northwest Fortress over the years, always have their own way.

But at this time, the Northwest Independent Division declared martial law and the Northwest Fortress to be completely closed, and no idle people were allowed to enter or leave This made the leaders of the chamber of commerce who had golden tickets in their arms unable to stare dryly at the closed gate of the big camp and get anxious.

But in the next two days, some of the men below came back to tell that they had seen the Northwest Fortress and the large camp of the Independent Division, and opened the door in the evening.

There was an army guarding the distance, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

I don't know what I'm doing.

But the sharp-eyed man said that he saw it, under the gate of the Northwest Fortress.

There were troops transporting corpses out The corpses were transported from the fortress one by one, and they were all officers and soldiers of the Northwest Independent Division.

There are at least several hundred This time, it can be regarded as confirming the news of the orc invasion and the war between the Northwest Independent Division and the Orcs, and I don't see that the Independent Division has already suffered hundreds of casualties This time.

Everyone simply gave up.

Many caravans simply left the town, taking with them their own chariots and horses, and taking with them a large number of various supplies and goods. these teams.

Some plan to try their luck in Mulan City, the capital of Nulin Province, while others plan to simply take a detour to Tulip's house to see if they can resell the goods to the northwest grassland.

Everyone has come all the way to the border to do business, so you can't lose all your money And at this time, a strange thing happened.

A strange group of men dressed in white ran to the south of the town and stopped the departing caravan on the main road.

These people claimed to be followers of the "Peerless Martial Saint Sect".

Of course, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that these guys actually came to receive the goods It is said that there is a large settlement in the city of Rova in Nulin Province, where more than 10,000 of their followers have gathered, and they have built a city there.

Tens of thousands of people eat, drink and Lazar, and there are not a few daily expenses, and there is a large demand for all kinds of daily necessities.

And these believers of the "Peerless Martial Saint Sect" ran to the main road to intercept those who left the caravan, and offered various trading conditions on the spot.

What made those caravans helpless were these strange white-clothed cultists, and the lists and quotations they issued for various supplies were simply cutting their own flesh with knives But the problem is that the trade at the border has been blocked.

The mountain of goods brought by the big guy can't really be brought back to the warehouse Not to mention whether the warehouse can be stacked or not, how much money it has to occupy, even if it is this one and the same, the freight of thousands of miles is enough to make the average small businessman go bankrupt directly Although everyone is going to try their luck in Nulin Province and Tulip Family Territory.

But who doesn't know that Nulin Province has been badly abandoned over the years, Mulan City is already very depressed, the market capacity is limited, so many things that were originally intended to be "exported" are all piled up in small Mulan City to "turn to domestic sales", I am afraid that the market will be washed away directly When the time comes, vicious competition, everyone will fight together to reduce prices and dump, then there will only be a death together.

As for the Tulip family, anyone with a discerning eye knows that even Thor's whip has been driven to the border, and if it starts, it will be a civil war At this time, it is too risky to run into the tulip's territory Rather than words like this.

It's better to sell it to these people who claim to be some kind of "Peerless Martial Saint Sect" on the way.

Anyway, you can get back a three melons and two dates, so that you don't lose all your money, it will be a tearful sale, put some blood, and stop the loss So, on the main road to the south, a junction about a hundred miles from the town, suddenly turned into a lively makeshift market.

There were a large number of believers of the "Peerless Martial Saint Sect" wearing strange white robes, who set up sheds here and prepared a large number of carriages and horses.

A long row of long tables was set up under the shed.

From the morning, caravans of caravans were lured here.

The leader of the caravan was invited to the bottom of the shed, and naturally the leader of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect was responsible for receiving it, and then under this shed, everyone took out the list, and the supplier and the demander negotiated the price with each other.

Some caravans also tried to resist a little bit, trying to negotiate prices.

But what made them helpless was that these people from the Peerless Martial Saint Sect were simply sharpening their knives and bargaining with cattle and sheep and staring at their caravans one by one, as if they were looking at cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered And they did.

If you love to sell or not, we will pay this price, you don't sell, and some people rush to sell People who do business will not be vindictive, as long as they can recover some losses, they can't care about anything else at this time. knows that the other party is taking the opportunity to pick up the cheap.

But who made himself unlucky, now dozens of caravans of goods are being shipped back, and the ready-made buyer is the other party The initiative is in the hands of others, and it is not a matter of slaughtering as much as you want Don't sell it, transport it home, pile it up in the warehouse, transport it to Mulan City, see if you can sell it, and transport it to Tulip's house, if you're not afraid of war.

Poor thing A large roll of thick linen cloth, in the imperial capital, it costs two hundred copper plates, one horse is here, and two horses are sold for one hundred and sixty tears, and they have to pay for the freight of thousands of miles, not to mention, they have to nod their heads and thank people for taking care of business.

A well-burned brick tea block.

In the imperial capital, twenty copper plates were to be transported to the orcs one piece, and ten bricks of tea could be exchanged for a low-level Warcraft core However, the price offered by these people of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect was fifty copper plates per box Such a transaction was carried out here for three full days.

By the time the caravans had sold their goods short and left.

The leaders of many caravans even felt that they were not much different from being robbed.

The more than twenty caravans that remained in the town did not choose to leave, and of course they had heard that there was a group of cultists of strange origin who were receiving goods halfway.

But most of these caravans left in the town were forces that were hard behind the scenes.

But they had another calculation in mind.

The large number of goods brought by himself, even if they cannot be transported out of the country, then seeing that the Northwest Independent Division seems to be going to rebel against the Tulip family, and the army has been transferred to the border, it seems that this battle is inevitable.

So is it possible to sell these things to the army as military supplies on the spot?

It's not that these businessmen are whimsical and daring.

After all, they dare to come to this border to do smuggling business, and there are big backstage and big financiers behind them Other chambers of commerce don't dare to think of such a thing as making war money, but these people are absolutely qualified to do so But they encountered something even more unlucky Du Weiwei actually put down the rebellion so easily God knows what the two Thor's whips on the border are up to God knows what that usual awesome Sylvester was up to Unexpectedly, Duke Tulip, who was a young girl, rushed all the way to the northwest fortress with three thousand cavalry Then the young duchess rushed into the camp of the Northwest Independent Division alone, and recovered the camp in more than an hour, and then she led a large number of defective soldiers to storm the Northwest Fortress This time, it took half an hour faster, and the thorn flower emperor flag that was originally hung on the Northwest Fortress was cut down and thrown directly on the ground for people to step on and play In its place, there is the familiar tulip family flag.

I heard that the duchess was in front of the Northwest Fortress Commander's Mansion and personally cut Sylvester into a waste, and I heard that the former general of the Northwest Independent Division had his hands and feet cut off, and then the Duchess also sent someone to rescue him, heal and bandage him, and sent a carriage all the way to Mulan City, the capital of Nulin Province fast It's just too fast It's not that we're slow to react, it's that the world is changing too fast The town was declared martial law by the Tulip family's cavalry.

The duchess had entered the Commandery's Mansion in the Northwest Fortress.

An order was issued: all chamber caravans stranded in the town must be closed All the warehouses, so the goods hoarded in the town, are all sealed Waiting to be inspected by the Tulip House This order really scared everyone examine Who would dare to let people check it Who's warehouse doesn't have some prohibited items Medicine, iron These are all forbidden by the Empire to be trafficked to orcs But who wouldn't have some of this stuff in their caravans More daring, casually report the name of the goods cleared, in fact, eighty percent of the goods transported in the convoy are contraband Can such goods stand up to inspection?

There's no way out.

In this world, the highest threshold, except for the emperor, is the duchess Shell out money to dredge up relationships This duchess is rich in the world.

She will be the one who is short of money As for using the backstage to press her Don't even think about any jokes, even if you see this duchess in the backstage, you have to kneel and lick it After thinking about it, these desperate caravan leaders only had to make a helpless move In the Commander's Mansion.

Du Weiwei sat in the seat that originally belonged to Sylvester.

The desk in front of her was piled up with all kinds of documents, papers, and archival materials.

Standing in front of her were five or six middle-level officers from the original Northwest Independent Division.

Du Weiwei's face was solemn, and after carefully reading a secret letter in his hand, he raised his head.

Her face was very ugly, and her face was grim.

"So what kind of orc movement, the orc army is gathering and wants to invade south.

What else is the independent division, which has already fought with the orcs twice, and these things are all fake" The officers below all had ugly faces, and all those who were swept by Du Weiwei's eyes couldn't help but kneel down on one knee "Heartbroken" Du gritted his teeth slightly.

Hatred said: "It was obviously a sedition in the army, and a group of officers and soldiers who refused to disobey were slaughtered, and in order to cover up the facts, they actually dared to report that the hundreds of casualties mentioned in the orc invasion war report were all killed in the internal strife mutiny."

Right?"

A trace of deep heartache flashed in Du Weiwei's eyes, waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's no wonder that you guys covered the sky with one hand when Sylvester was here at that time.

If you officers below, if you dare to be strong, I am afraid that you will have already done the wrongful death ghost to say responsibility, but it is the responsibility of me, the Duke of Tulip, to let this hungry wolf sit in such an important position, it is my fault to be the duke, those officers and soldiers who died tragically, I feel ashamed."

The faces of several officers became more and more guilty.

Du Weiwei immediately shook his head: "What's going on with the logistics camp?"

"According to your order, the cavalry team has surrounded the logistics battalion as soon as possible, and all the officers above the battalion level have been arrested and imprisoned, and they are now being held in the military prison of the fortress for interrogation."

An officer replied.

Du nodded slightly, and her face showed a hint of murderous aura: "I heard that since Sylvester took power, the fattest place in the Northwest Independent Division is the logistics battalion, and I also heard that the logistics battalion has great powers, and everything and materials can get the entire logistics battalion of the Northwest Independent Division, I think all the officers in it are rotten from the roots, if they are investigated one by one, none of them are clean, and they will be judged fiercely, and they will be investigated fiercely, and they don't need to worry about any means."

Du Weiwei was really angry The "fat" of the logistics battalion of the Northwest Independent Division has always been famous, and it is well-known in Nulin Province.

He had also beaten them through the incident of Darling Chen before.

Now that the independent division has been withdrawn, this logistics battalion, which has been completely rotten, is the best breakthrough for reorganizing this army by itself Although Sylvester has been eliminated, for Du Weiwei, how to reorganize this army in the future is a more headache Although it may seem easy to reclaim the army, loyalty to the Tulip family still dominates the majority of the army.

But in fact, Du Weiwei knows it.

There must also be a lot of people from Sylvester's faction hidden in this, or people who support Sylvester.

I don't know enough about the Northwest Independent Division, and if I want to dig out all these moths hidden in the army, the logistics battalion is the best breakthrough.

So far, in a short period of two days, the purge of the independent division has begun, and more than 200 officers and men have been arrested and taken out of prison, half of whom were taken down by the soldiers who rebelled and defected on the day they entered the camp, and some of them were moths in the army dug up from intelligence during the rectification in the past two days.

Generally.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

She Du Weiwei could leave Sylvester's life, that was to gamble, and deliberately threw Sylvester back to the imperial capital, just to see that Shiloh's face But the other desires are not merciful The so-called Ci Bu is in charge of the army, and for those backbone elements of the rebellion, Du Weiwei will not let go of any of them The 3,000 family guards cavalry she brought this time was to prepare for the post-mortem rectification operation of the independent division.

Once all the backbone members of Sylvester's descendants who were found out were arrested and taken to prison, Du Weiwei immediately took out manpower from his family's personal guard cavalry regiment to fill in the vacated positions of officers That's it.

In the entire independent division, a small half of the middle-level officers have been replaced.

This is nothing less than a big blood change.

For those army soldiers who turned against him after recovering the army, Du Weiwei certainly would not chill their hearts.

So she didn't plan to implicate the rebels in the army.

But at least none of Sylvester's henchmen and backbones can be left, and they must all be dug out After all, after the independent division withstood this heavy blow, the high-ranking officers were swept away, and the air-level officers also fell slightly.

The entire army can be said to have temporarily lost its command.

It is necessary to put this army in order.

They can only be temporarily transferred to other places, filled with new cadre officers and filled all ranks of the army, and then re-undergo a retraining.

Only then can the combat effectiveness of this army be slowly restored.

Just after Du Weiwei and the officers of these independent divisions discussed for a while.

Suddenly, a family guard warrior ran in from outside, came to Du Weiwei's side, and whispered in her ear.

Du Weiwei listened and raised his eyebrows "Oh, all kneeling outside the Commander's Mansion" The duchess's face showed a deep smile of playfulness, but in her eyes, there was a fierce light.

"These chambers of commerce entrenched in the town south of the fortress, one is counted as one, they are all gold lords who have a deep collusion with Sylvester, hum Silvester has colluded with them over the years, I don't know how much military discipline and military law have been corrupted, and now these guys actually dare to come to my door and kneel down and beg for mercy."

Du raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered: "I remember that there was a guy in the logistics camp named Duncan, right?"

Immediately another officer replied: "Yes, Lord Duke, Duncan, the deputy commander of the logistics battalion, this guy has been transferred last month and is about to be discharged from the army, but he has not left the army, and has stayed in the logistics camp to help Sylvester manage the accounts between those and the merchants." ” "That's the guy, he's the guy now."

"When the logistics camp was surrounded, he was also caught and is now locked up in a military prison in the city."

Du smiled coldly: "Send someone to bring this guy out and bring him to the gate of the Commander's Mansion, let him identify the businessmen of the Chamber of Commerce who are kneeling outside, and whoever has sent bribes to the army before, immediately send troops to arrest him on the spot." ” After a pause, Du sneered slightly: "Whether it is the imperial law or the decree of my tulip family, there are clear texts, what kind of punishment should be given to active military officers for bribery for benefits, these are all specific decrees."

I'm worried that I can't find anyone to open the knife and establish my authority, these profiteers who have bad military discipline still dare to come to me and hang around, you tell that Duncan, recognize people well, if he behaves well, I will spare his life As for all the shops, industries, warehouses, and goods of the Chamber of Commerce where Duncan recognized and determined that he had bribes and other illegal acts against the middle and senior ranks of the army before, all the confiscated personnel were arrested and imprisoned."

The previous order was not questioned.

But the second order made some of the officers below couldn't help but wonder: "Most of the materials that these chambers of commerce have hoarded in the town are contraband, and most of them are junk goods that are ready to be sold to orcs.

Even if they are all confiscated, we won't be able to use them, and we won't be able to use them for military purposes.

And now that we are rectifying the army, there is already a shortage of manpower, I am afraid that we will not have the energy to pack up these goods, so it is better to directly collect fines from those chambers of commerce, and let them pay directly to the backstage financiers. ” Du smiled slightly: "We are not kidnapping tickets, what money do we want their backstage to pay, we are the law of the country, act according to the law, arrest what should be arrested, confiscate what should be confiscated, how can there be a reason to arrest people and ask for money." ” After a pause, a strange expression appeared on her face: "As for the confiscated goods, you don't have to worry about not being able to handle them."

Hmph, your response is too slow, haven't you heard that someone blocked the caravan on the main road to the south a few days ago and received the goods at a low price?"

"Ugh" The officers below looked at each other.

Recently, everyone has either rebelled or rebelled, either rebelled or defected, and after the defection, it was an internal rectification.

I don't have time to talk about anything from the south.

Du pondered for a moment, and smiled coldly: "Send someone well, you don't need to find someone else, or let that Duncan go to his familiar way, it is appropriate to send him to Rowa City to do this, it is to find that Peerless Martial Saint Sect, just say that I have a big business, I want to do it with their leader, invite their leader to come to the Northwest Fortress to meet me" ` Please add my Wei signal: 8182, or directly search for "dance", add new friends to the address book, and then search: dance.
