Chapter 777: Attracting the Snake (3)


Because of the previous dirty auction, a group of big businessmen came to Ningbo City, and many prominent figures from the southeast also came.

Now, almost all of Tie Zang has been sold, but not all the merchants have withdrawn.

There are still some merchants staying in Ningbo, seemingly waiting for new business opportunities.

These remaining merchants are all members of the large southeastern clans who are responsible for doing business, and they can eat well wherever they go.

For example, this time when Taiyong entered Ning, it was ostensibly presided over by Ning Shao Bing Dao, but in fact, it was the result of the cooperation and promotion of these big businessmen.

Officials at the level of Ning Shao Bingbing can definitely speak for themselves.

A small unit change of defense can still be considered a problem.

Even within the army, they can still exert influence.

The army's supplies of money and food cannot be separated from the supply of these people.

It is even common for some family members to be assigned positions in the army.

When an officer is ascending or descending, a word from them is more effective than an officer going to the military headquarters ten times by himself.

Therefore, the various military posts in the southeast or the newly formed military camps cannot do without them.

No matter how top-secret the military information and dispatch is, it cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of these people.

However, these five battalions of the Zhejiang New Army are aliens in the army.

Their supplies all come from Yang Ji.

Yang Ji has a relatively closed business atmosphere.

The clerks and shopkeepers have a strong sense of confidentiality, and it is very easy to get some information from them.

Within the army, the officers of the New Army are all Anlu people, and they are not in the same circle as them.

They are all honest and responsible.

They basically live and eat in the military camp and have no contact with the outside world.

Unlike the officers I met in the past, they were lucky enough to make friends with famous and talented people.

Even if they took the initiative to try to establish relationships, most of them were rejected.

Regarding the dispatch of the new army, these wealthy gentry were completely blind and had no control over it.

Even if they don't have this information, it won't actually hinder their lives.

But for a long time, the entire Zhejiang military and political system had no secrets for these prominent families.

This exception made these people feel a little uneasy.

In Dafang Inn, several clan leaders gathered here.

Feng Tai'an, the head of the Feng family, looked at the people at the table and shook his head, "No one from the Xie family came.

It seems that when we get together again in the future, there will be one less person."

It’s time for a chair.

Xie Weng’s poems and articles are of great character.

Without this literary friend, I’m afraid I won’t be able to write anything in the future.”

"Yes, I heard that the current situation of the Xie family is not good.

Mr.

Xie sold 3,000 acres of paddy fields in the countryside some time ago.

The Xie family sells their fields.

Over the years, the Xie family's fields are famous for being only bought but not sold. , actually fell to the point of selling off the land, this is really killing everyone, how can I bear it. " Everyone here expressed their dissatisfaction with Yang Chengzu and regret for the fate of the Xie family.

The sound of silk and bamboo instruments outside stubbornly broke through the window paper and flew into the room.

The rain has stopped in the past two days, and the Peking Opera troupe outside has resumed performances.

As soon as you hear the movement, you know that Peking Opera is singing again.

Xu Fengming frowned, "What these people are listening to is really terrible.

Compared with Nan Opera, it's just a day or two behind.

They are all those Yankees who don't understand anything.

Just because of those who sing Peking Opera."

They are all good-looking women.

Just go and flatter them.

It’s not a big deal if you come here to do business.

You bring a troupe of troupes with you.

You look like a bumpkin at first glance.”

Compared with the misfortune that the Xie family encountered, what really made them feel unhappy was the fact that these northern businessmen went south.

In places like Ningbo, businessmen from other places come here every year, but most of them do it on a small scale.

After visiting the dock, they just stay for a while and then leave.

Very few of them can really take root.

The people who came here this time were the children of more than a dozen big families in the north.

These people were not just making trouble, but they had come to Jiangnan to invade the territory and grab business.

If such people dared to come over in the past, they would be trampled to death as many as they could, but in this situation now, the minds of these wealthy people are a little restless.

Feng Tai'an said: "I got the news from the court.

It seems that the court is going to take action in the southeast.

It is said that private ship building is strictly prohibited.

All sea ships must be built according to regulations to attract taxes.

If these people come to intervene, we will build ships.

It is not easy to handle Yan Yin.

There were countless merchants in the Ming Dynasty who were guarding Yan Yin and could not pay for salt.

If someone pulls the strings and supports these northern bumpkins, it will be difficult for us to handle Yan Yin. ” "Yes, I don't think these opera troupes are necessarily to flatter the little ladies who sing operas.

They may be to establish a relationship with Yang Qinchen.

After all, he studied this opera first-hand, and the opera troupe is also his industry.

There is no difference between complimenting the troupe and giving him money.”

Xu Fengming sneered, "Qin Envoy Yang is indeed majestic.

I heard that the emperor granted him the title of second-rank commander this time, so that he can act in a decent manner like the first-rank commander.

He also rewarded him with a bullfighting uniform.

That thing is in the southeast, compared to the king's order The flag is just a hair short of honor and favor.

But so what?

His majesty is supported by killing Japanese.

If he loses the battle, do you think he can still be so majestic?"

He raised the note in his hand, which was scrawled with rough charcoal.

There were not many words written on it, and there were a few typos in it.

However, the general meaning can still be understood.

The strength and garrison situation of the new army were revealed, and it was determined that the number of troops Yang Chengzu brought to Ningbo was only one battalion.

"He probably thought that the bandits would not dare to attack Ningbo again, so he dared to come here with only 3,000 people.

How many people did Xu Xun bring this time?

Let me tell you, a total of 8,000 soldiers heard that there were only real Japanese among them.

Thousands of people, three thousand officers and soldiers versus one thousand really Japanese, everyone knows what the outcome will be if he thinks about it.

As long as he loses the battle, Southeast will not be able to stay.

When he returns to Beijing, this will be our world after all. " Feng Tai'an nodded and said: "This is the only hope now.

Our people have been sent out to lead the way for Xu Xun and the others.

After Ningbo is captured, we will share 30% of the spoils.

Although Xie Ao's belongings were sold at a low price, they got it There is also a lot of silver.

This time we can get back all the money we spent to buy the trophies, and let everyone have a good year.

Before that, we have to help Xu Xun and divide the strength of the Ningbo garrison. " "There are also new troops stationed in the coastal counties.

Can Xu Xun win the battle?"

"Don't worry.

According to the establishment of the New Army, there are only a hundred people stationed in the county.

Self-protection is very problematic.

Those pirates are not going to attack the city, but only some villages and towns.

As long as the officers and soldiers are divided into Defending and leaving Ningbo city defense empty, they will definitely succeed in this plan. " Feng Tai'an coughed and said, "Brother Xu Shi, I will find a way to divide the troops.

As soon as the news comes, I will go to the Bu Zheng Yamen and urge it to be done.

This Ningbo City Gate matter still has to be done.

It’s up to your men.”

"Don't worry, Mr.

Feng, my nephew will definitely live up to everyone's trust.

The cost of smoothing out the hands this time will not be small.

I hope Xu Xun and the others will gain a bigger harvest, otherwise we will suffer a big loss."

These clan leaders knew about Xu Yang's plum blossom strategy this time, and they also had a share of the spoils from the villages and counties that had been conquered.

For example, they are naturally responsible for the division of troops between the government and the army.

As for how many of these harvests smell of blood, and how many of them have innocent souls attached to them, no one really cares.

One piece of information was sent out, and the wind direction on the sea finally changed.
