A Clash of Gods Chapter 973: Go to the party

When sailing at sea, if the wind and waves are large, even if the two ships are screaming close to each other, it is difficult to hear what the other party is talking about, and the ship will try to avoid being too close to avoid accidental collision, so sailing at sea At the time, there must be a set of flags. (The fastest update of uc book alliance)

The East Sea Marine Division is the main force of the Chu Kingdom’s sea, and the slogan is indispensable. When the Jiangjia caravan was established, it was escorted by the East China Sea warships. Naturally, there is also a set of slogans for communication at sea.

After a moment of communication between the two sides, the speed of the Jiangjia fleet slowed down significantly. The sailors on the lookout tower reported: "General, they are the caravans who have just returned from overseas trade and are returning. They will send the army along."

Shen Liangqiu ordered: "Let them sail in front, we can follow behind."

The sailors sang flags, and soon said to Shen Liangqiu: "They asked us to use some food in the past, saying that it was a rare thing brought back from Nanyang."

Qing Ning heard and said with a smile: "This fleet came back from Nanyang?" Thinking that the Jiang family could do business in Nanyang, it is no wonder that the rich and the enemy can fight for money every day.

At this time, I also vaguely saw that the Jiang family’s merchant fleet was indeed huge, with as many as seven or eight ships. What mattered was that these ships were behemoths, like a group of wild beasts moving on the sea, traveling in the most The ship in front seemed to be larger than the fifteen main battleships of the East China Sea Division, and the flags were flying at the bow and stern of all the ships.

Because Shen Liangqiu played the flag to make the Jiangjia fleet go ahead, the seven or eight behemoths quickly picked up speed, and one followed the other by passing in front of Qi Ning. Qi Ning looked in his eyes and saw The two ships in the middle of the Jiangjia fleet are very draught. Obviously, the cargo contained is much heavier than other ships.

"Is the Jiang family's fleet mainly traded in Nanyang?" Qi Ning asked.

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said: "As early as when the Han clan controlled the East China Sea, the East China Sea had already started trading with Nanyang. When the Han family was able to dominate one side, its financial resources came from it. () The Jiang family reopened trade After that, he continued to conduct business with Nanyang according to the routes of the Han family."

"I haven't seen a few Nanyang people in the East China Sea. Can they have a fleet coming?"

Shen Liangqiu shook his head and said, "Hou Ye, as far as Beijiang knows, the Jiangjia merchant fleet mainly trades with several small countries such as Johor, Temasek, Luzon and Java. Although Beibei has not been to those countries, listen It is said that they are small countries and few people, and there is no strength to form a strong merchant fleet. There have always been pirates roaming at sea. If there is no strength, and they are thinking about maritime trade, it is to enter the tiger’s mouth. It is said that Java and Johor have organized After the fleet, I wanted to come to my Dachu trade, and they were intercepted by the bandits. After that, they broke their thoughts. The trade between Dachu and them can only count on the Jiangjia caravan. ."

Qining thought that if this was the case, then the Jiang family would have monopolized maritime trade without any competition. In this way, the Jiang family caravan would be like a cornucopia, and the wealth would be continuously generated.

"The sea bandits have never had the idea of ​​the Jiangjia fleet?"

Shen Liangqiu smiled a little: "Hou Ye, everyone knows that the Jiang family fleet is full of goods no matter what they go back and forth. That is good. How can the gangsters not make up their minds? The sea bandits are afraid of Jiang's fleet."

"Shortfall?"

"That was something that happened five or six years ago." Shen Liangqiu recalled: "At that time, the Jiang family had obtained court courtesy, and they could hire people to **** themselves. He would remember that there were six ships out there at that time. There is no such thing as a black tiger shark at sea, and the bandits are fighting each other. That time, the seven or eight bandits joined forces to plan to take the Jiang family's fleet"

"How are the results?"

"The bandits lost hundreds of people, and the Jiang family captured five ships." Shen Liangqiu sneered: "Two of the bandits were annihilated and lost their titles."

Qining frowned: "The combat strength of the Jiangjia fleet is so fierce?"

"The Jiang family does not lack money, and employs hundreds of martial arts masters. In the early years of the East China Sea, there was a sword school of Huijianmen. There were a dozen or so men and disciples, and the swordsmanship was not weak. After Jiang Mantian persuaded, this sword faction all fled to the Jiang family and became the guards of the Jiang family fleet." Shen Liangqiu pointed to the Jiangjia shipway that was sailing west: "The people of Huijianmen should be on board. "

This is how Qi Ning came to understand. I thought that if this fleet had nearly one hundred warriors, the group of gangsters would join the short soldiers of the Jiangjia fleet, and they would undoubtedly kill themselves.

"Jiang Family's momentum is like this, will it not end?"

Shen Liangqiu said: "The imperial court did not want the trade between the East China Sea and Nanyang to be cut off. Nearly half of the taxes in the East China Sea are paid by the three major families, and half of the taxes of the three major families are paid by the Jiang family. In other words, the entire In the East China Sea, 20% of the taxes are contributed by the Jiang family. Once the maritime trade is cut off, these 20% of the taxes will naturally not be paid. My Dachu faced with North Han, South and North. Although the Qinhuai War, they are all recuperating, but the time is ripe. The decision of the male and female, the imperial court needs to recuperate and prepare for the battle, the taxation of the Jiang family is naturally unstoppable."

Qing Ning nodded, knowing that Shen Liangqiu was indeed telling the truth.

"In the past, the Jiang family had to send warships to **** every time they traded. Once or twice, it would always be inappropriate." Shen Liangqiu said indifferently: "The sailor is serving the Great Chu and can't always To serve as a merchant. Later, the Hu Ministry played the court, and asked the court to give a special purpose to allow the Jiang family to hire a guard. The court also approved the Hu Ministry to ask, but the number of hired guards should not exceed 200. The Jiang family got it. The purpose was to quickly hire a martial artist. These people were not weak. The Jiang family paid a lot of money. Together with the sailors on the boat, they added three or four hundred people up and down. The bandits on the sea ate that year. After the second loss, I would never dare to embarrass the Jiang family again."

Qing Ning thought that if it was only kept at 200 people, it would not have formed a great climate. The Jiang family would be rich enough to rival the country, but as long as there was no army and it was under the supervision of the East China Sea Division, it would also turn over. Can't afford the big waves.

When it was dark, the two fleets had already merged into one. The six large ships of the Jiangjia caravan sailed in a straight line in the front, and the three ships on the cool autumn side trailed behind.

When a bright moon rises in the sky, all the ships slow down. Qi Ning suddenly hears someone outside and comes out of the cabin. He meets Shen Liangqiu head-on, seeing Qi Ning leaving the cabin, Shen Liangqiu arched: Hou Ye, send someone over there to invite us to have a glass of water and wine. I don’t know what Hou Ye thought?"

"Water and wine?"

Shen Liangqiu explained: "This time, Jiang Yitian's third brother Jiang Yishui led the trade. He was mainly responsible for leading the trade. The Jiang family will send something to the sailor every year when the Chinese New Year is approaching. It was Jiang Yishui who sent them over, and the governors did not like to interact with them, so they all would deal with them, and Jiang Yishui was also an acquaintance."

Qining said with a smile: "He knows I am here?"

"Hui Ye would not dare to show Hou Ye's identity to him without his orders." Shen Liangqiu said: "Jiang Yishui sent the boat and said that he brought the wine from Java, so Hui Ye would not know whether Hou Ye Willing to try it in the past."

Qing Ning thought for a while, and then smiled: "Since they have sent ships to invite him, why should General Shen refuse? I want to taste what the wine brought back from Java looks like. Just look at it together."

"The humble will not dare!" Shen Liangqiu said busyly.

When the two arrived at the side of the ship, they saw a small boat on the side. This was naturally a small boat that had been laid down from the side of the big boat. They threw down the rope ladder in the cool autumn. They asked Qi Ning to get off the boat and wait for Qi Ning to go down. They also disembarked, and the two arrived on the boat. The four sailors immediately rowed the boat. These four men had great arm strength, like a machine. The boat traveled through the waves, and the fleet was slow at night, so the boat speeded up. It's almost over, and it's just a scent of incense, and it has already rushed to the side of the front ship, dropped the iron riveting from the side of the big ship, and the sailor hooked the iron riveting to the bow and stern of the boat~IndoMTL.com ~ It seems that some machinery pulled the boat up, but for a moment, it was already parallel to the side of the big ship. Qi Ning stood up and saw the lights on the big ship. At this time, a middle-aged man in Jinyi was smiling and waiting on the side of the ship. .

The man was in his early thirties, similar in appearance to Jiang Mantian. He looked more elegant and gentle, with a gentle and friendly smile on his face. When Qi Ning and Shen Liangqiu got on the boat, then People stepped forward and arched their hands: "Jia Ke arrived, failed to meet far, forgive sins and forgive sins!"

Qining was also a smiling archer, and Shen Liangqiu also arched, saying: "Jiang Sanshao went to Nanyang, this trip was hard."

The man immediately smiled and said: "Dare not dare, General Shen, Sanshao is someone else's laughter when he was young, and he would never dare to call it General Shen." Looking at Qi Ning, Qi Ning already laughed: "I was just transferred from the capital to the East China Sea Marine Division, and I will practice under General Shen in the future. My surname is Ning!"

"It turned out to be Brother Ning." Jiang Yishui smiled and said: "General Shen is able to come, it's an overwhelming joy. Brother Ning can also enjoy the light, and it's even more prosperous. Please hurry!" Momentum.

Qing Ning glanced at the merchant ship, he smiled and said: "Shen Sanshao is brilliant here, it can't be called Peng Long."

Jiang Yishui was a long laugh again, and the three-person walked into the cabin. After Qi Ning entered, he saw that the cabin was very luxuriously arranged. In it, it seemed to be in the elegant room of the noble daguan. Zhang Yuan already had the dishes on the table, and Jiang Yishui seemed to see Qi Ning's thoughts and explained: "We go to Nanyang to trade and we want to do business with them. The local dignitaries and dignitaries sometimes board the ship to take a look, so they will This ship is arranged like this, which also shows them that I am a great state and have enough strength to trade with them."
