Chapter 943: Bai Gui's Merchant Ship


Wisps of white mist drifted across the river, and the water was muddy.

Because the river is wide, the current does not look like it is rough.

But as you can see from the floating debris flowing down, the speed is quite fast.

In the blink of an eye, the float was gone.

Looking into the distance, on the river in the distance, the white mist rolls, giving people the feeling of fairyland.

Flying all the way, Zhuangzi saw that a corpse was floating on the river from time to time, and there was blood flowing on the corpse.

After the blood gushed out, it was quickly dissolved by the river, and the land was flooded with blood.

It's like a blooming flower, first a little bit, and then magnified to infinity.

Zhuangzi sensed it, and it was almost time for the accident to happen.

After flying for a while, boats the size of ants appeared on the river ahead.

During the Warring States period, ships were rarely seen on the river.

Ordinary boats do not dare to row to the river.

And those who can sail on the big rivers are generally big ships.

Just like an aircraft carrier sailing on the sea in modern society, an aircraft carrier is not something that ordinary countries can have.

Even if there are boats on the river, they are only small boats that walk on the riverside.

Gradually, you can hear the shouts of killing coming from there.

It seems that the battle over there is not over yet Is it war Zhuangzi thought it was impossible.

If there is a war, there will not only be those dozens of ships, there should be many.

It is very likely that he has encountered Jiang bandits again.

In the blink of an eye, Zhuangzi was near.

This is a very wide river, and this place is in the middle of the river.

When I looked up, it was all white.

Zhuangzi had never been to the sea, but at this time he felt that he was in the middle of the sea, surrounded by water except water.

In the core, there is a merchant ship larger than Guandu.

Around the merchant ships, there were eight large ships escorting them.

On the periphery of the big ship, there are more than 20 boats the size of Guandu.

More than 20 ships the size of Guandu trapped the merchant ships and escort ships, and the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle.

"Listen to the people on the merchant ships, we know that you are Bai Gui's merchant ships, but you must know that all the merchant ships that come to our Chu country have to pay taxes, and we have the right to detain you.

You'd better surrender and be inspected. ” The men on the outer ships shouted towards the merchant ships, demanding that they surrender.

"You are not from the official government of the State of Chu, our caravan is not the caravan of Bai Gui, we are the merchants of the State of Chu.

Our goods are going to Yingdu, and we have a pass for the commercial office of the capital.

You are Jiang bandits, Jiang bandits, if you get closer, we will shoot you, you are Jiang bandits."

"We are from Lingdu, and we suspect that your merchant ships are loaded with weapons.

What are you doing smuggling weapons to Yingdu, do you want to rebel?"

"Still talking nonsense with them, what a direct assault."

"If we don't attack strongly, if the Yingdu Navy comes, we won't be able to run and fight quickly."

"If you attack by force, the casualties will be too great, you must know that this is Bai Gui's merchant ship, there are strong bows and crossbows on it, and we can't get close at all" "Attack with Fire" "There is no use of the merchant ships, all of which are fire-proof, and their goods are kept in the holds" The river bandits besieged the merchant ships one after another for a day and one night, but they were not able to capture them.

Baekyu's merchant ships traveled on the river all year round, sending goods from the downstream to the upper reaches and bringing the goods from the upstream to the downstream by the way.

Transporting goods from the South Shore to the North Shore and sending goods from the North Shore to the South Shore.

Therefore, they have long been on guard against the Jiang bandits.

In terms of passes, since Bai Gui's caravan runs this business all year round, the formalities are complete.

Even if something happens, it will not be inspected in Jiangxin, and it will only be inspected after docking.

Therefore, if there is a large fleet of ships blocking them in the middle of the river, it must be the river bandits.

This caravan is considered by the world to be Bai Gui's caravan, but it is not necessarily true.

This is a joint-stock group caravan, not only with Bai Gui's shares, but also with officials and businessmen from all over the way.

It's just that at the beginning, it was a big ship funded and built by Bai Gui, and it was originally operated by Bai Gui secretly.

Later, after it was known that it was Bai Gui's caravan, Bai Gui had to bring in officials and merchants from all over the route to carry out joint stock management.

If you don't have a good relationship with officials in various places along the way, you won't be able to settle down if something happens.

Once the local officials have a stake, they will speak for you.

It's not about helping them to speak, the more they contribute, the more profit they get.

If you don't have a good relationship with the merchants from all over the way, you have to run your own purchase and shipment.

With the participation of local merchants, Bai Gui can get both commercial profits and transportation profits, so why not do it The current Baigui caravan is no longer the Baigui caravan of the past.

Bai Gyu is just a name, and he no longer deals with this aspect of affairs.

It's all in the hands of his subordinates, and he only takes the net profits.

Even he didn't even take the net profit.

Since he is relieved to be entrusted to someone to manage, he is absolutely assured.

There is also Bai Gui's caravan that is ostensibly Bai Gui's, but in fact, Bai Gui is just providing transportation.

Whoever transports the goods is escorted by the cargo owner.

In the face of this situation, the owner of the goods has a certain decision-making power.

In the face of this situation, the escort has a certain amount of decision-making power.

With the unanimous decision of everyone, it was decided to resolutely fight back.

As long as the Jiang bandits dared to approach, they dared to shoot with bows and crossbows.

Since the river is too wide to see the riverbank, you can't pass on the news after being trapped by the bandits.

So I have been trapped by the Jiang bandits for a day and a night.

However, some of the merchant ships are fed, and they are not afraid of being trapped.

On the contrary, the Jiang bandits were in a hurry.

Because the naval army of Yingdu often has patrol boats coming.

And it's a warship.

Once they are bumped into by the patrol boats of the navy, these river bandits are a dead end.

Although the state of Chu has problems in management, it is absolutely not soft in terms of public security and big problems.

For the Jiang bandits, they will only be severely punished.

There are also merchants from all over the country along the way who find that the merchant ship has not arrived as scheduled, so they may send people out to inquire.

They even sent boats out of the river to inquire about the river.

Because it is related to the interests of merchants everywhere.

In business dealings, they often have the capital to bet on it or pay a deposit.

The Jiang bandits had no choice but to resort to a strong attack again.

First of all, it is the old way, which is to fire fireballs at merchant ships first.

A fire bomb, as the name suggests, is a ball made from flammable materials.

Then ignite the firebomb, place it on the launcher, and catapult it onto the opposing merchant ship.

Unfortunately, the merchant ships made by Bai Gui have long taken this into account and have taken fire prevention measures.

And then this is in the middle of the great river, and there is water.

When you see that the fire bomb is coming over, use a shovel to shovel the fire bomb into the water, and then rinse it with water.

So the fire bomb is not effective at all. aa2705221:
