Power and Empire Chapter 101: The worries of King Zuowei (4)
In order to raise the ransom to redeem King Zuowei, the howling Hurricane Kujit accepted the suggestion of Kujit's army caravan and divided the Vizan area into four areas like a ponytail, and then divided the four areas Split up, like a big net, planned and planned ransacks. In the dark, the Khergit cavalry quietly approached the village, and then swarmed, kicking open the door of the rich man of Vijaya, and you can often see that they are holding their belongings and preparing to escape. The nobles of China moved all their belongings and took a few hostages from the homes of all the nobles, and if they couldn't come up with the ransom within ten days, they would just kill them.
This time, the unlucky Lord Vizan found that the Kujites were different from before. In the past, they only passed by once and robbed them once, and often they just took away some seemingly valuable things, but this time the Kujites Like a beggar who has never seen money in his life
not only rushed into their farms, fields, mansions, castles with knowledgeable merchants, and took away everything that could be taken away, and sold everything that could be sold directly to the merchants for gold coins. It’s burned out in a big fire,
Thick black smoke fills the sky, every few miles you can see a burned village, and the whole Vizan is crying under the butcher knife
This is a real looting. Both economically and spiritually, most of the rural aristocrats went bankrupt, and the originally stable rural economy collapsed. The entire Vizan could not find a horse to pull the carriage for the local lord. The Vizans finally realized that the lords could not protect themselves. Every day, hundreds of people died under the Kujit scimitar because they resisted the Kujits. Countless refugees flocked to the Samor area to the south, but the opposite side of the closed Samor Fortress. Blocking the refugees’ footsteps, a large number of refugees gather on the banks of the Satsuma Li River every day
On the Satsuma Lijiang River, more than one hundred ships ferry every day, which still cannot meet the requirements of the Vizan people. Every day on the opposite river beach, there are tens of thousands of people who are full of black pressure. There are tens of thousands of people, one by one. Eyes anxiously stared at the moving boats. Whenever a boat drew ashore, the crowd crowded each other, pushing and rushing onto the boat, stacking the luggage on the empty space, hoping to take up a little more space and squeeze it up. Although happy, those who couldn’t be squeezed were yelling, and there were not a few crying loudly. The quarrels, crying, and the hustle and bustle made this place like a big grocery yard. In the hearts of these refugees, Samer on the other side of the river is now a paradise. Only when their feet are on Samor’s land can they feel a touch of safety.
"Can't we mobilize more ships? This is too slow!" The fat man rode a horse, followed by hundreds of guards and Baron Stouhan, the new president of the business alliance, in order to transport the refugees who fled. Praising the refugees, the fat man specially asked the business alliance to mobilize hundreds of commercial cargo ships from Zivadin. Now it seems that he still underestimates the ability of the Kujites to toss. "There are more and more refugees, and these ships are no longer enough."
"My lord, it’s not that we don’t have a boat, but the number of boats on the Satsuma Yuri River has reached its limit. If it continues to increase, the boats on the river will collide together! This is even worse!" Du Han looked at the fat man embarrassedly. As the new president supported by the fat man, he naturally spared no effort in ordering the fat man, but he could not do the impossible. Facing the fat man’s reproach, Si Duhan was embarrassed. He hesitated, "If we can open the gates of the Samor Fortress for the refugees, I think it will speed up the influx of refugees and make the refugees more trust in our Samor's friendliness!"
"Opening the gates of the fortress of Samor will make the Weizan people feel my kindness?" The fat man's face was slightly hesitant. This proposal made the fat man feel a little bit moved. If you want to collect the Weizan area, you must first subdue the hearts of the Weizan people. Opening the gate of the city of Samor can really make all the Vizans see clearly whether it is the cowardly Vizan lords or themselves, who is more able to protect them!
"This is a good idea. The Kurgits have sent a negotiator. In order to show their sincerity, the Zuowei king army never dared to enter the nearby villages outside of Samor. There is no problem opening the gate of Samor at this time." Fatty clicked Nodded, "This is my compensation for the Vizan people!"
"My lord, you are so generous." Stuhan looked excited. "I believe that the news of the Lord's opening of the city gate of Samor will be grateful to the Weizan people..."
"Stop flattering, let’s talk about the situation in Jivadin right away." The fat man interrupted Si Duhan’s compliment with a wave of his hand. The smile on his face showed that the fat man was still very useful, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t hide his smile." I asked you to stay in Riwadin City, but I didn’t listen to you to help the Vizans to intercede!"
" Hehe, I am still an adult." Stuhan smiled and answered. "The subordinates really have an important thing that needs to be answered immediately, because this matter involves the layout of the entire south, and the subordinates dare not make a decision, but The adult has already led the army on the expedition, and he had to delay it for ten days. This time, upon receiving the adult’s order, his subordinates immediately came to report!"
"Oh, you cowardly Stuhan" The fat man shook his head helplessly. It may be a sequelae left behind by a low profile. Stuhan always reports to the fat man in many important matters. So he dared to make a decision. This is also the reason why Fatty was relieved to hand over the huge network of business alliances to him. "Speak out and listen. Let me see what makes you old fox undecided!"
"A dozen days ago, the business chief of the southern Riwa Cheze, the eldest lady of the Marquis of Nissas came to Riwading in person and sent an invitation related to the business layout of the entire southern region!" Si Duhan The baron looked nervous and took out an invitation with expensive blue sandpaper as a cover. The shiny gold thread formed the big characters of the Merchants Federation. Then establish the Merchants Federation, and the subordinates believe that this must be supported by the Dardanelles! This is to build momentum for the Dardanelles. Once this merchants federation is established, it will inevitably require the integration of all southern merchants. It will isolate Jivadin’s business alliance! So the subordinates have not yet agreed, and only wait for the adults to come back to respond."
"First, I was preparing to hold a Kyoto-level knight tournament in Niwa in July~IndoMTL.com~ Now secretly preparing to unify all southern merchant forces, it seems that the Dardanelles really regard themselves as the lord of the south. "The fat man spread out the invitation card in a weird manner. He saw the list of gift lists, his face moved slightly, and he asked doubtfully, "This time the Nissah family is so ambitious that they have sent such a grand gift. Could it be that they have sent a woman? Coming?"
"Hehe, sir, the subordinates are also very puzzled, why only one woman was sent for such an important negotiation!" Stuhan quietly cast aside the fat man out of the corner of his eye, and said strangely and puzzledly, "It's weird, according to The Nissah family said that they could have arrived in Zivadin two days in advance, but when they were passing by Sambuga, they met a group of mountain people, which caused them to run for two days in vain. They asked the adults to send the locals. The garrison teaches those mountain people who disrespect the nobles!"
"Sambuga hills do not respect the noble mountain people?" The fat man's face suddenly became very strange, as if he had just swallowed a big green fly, and a beautiful white figure appeared in the fat man's mind. Long soft black hair is draped on the round jade shoulders, and a pair of watery eyes seems to be able to take away the soul of people. "Haha, it turns out that it is them! They are really destined to see each other thousands of miles away, but never met and never met!"
, the fat man’s weird expression just now made Si Duhan see clearly, and he secretly thanked that he did not agree to it too recklessly. For the so-called rude mountain people in the mouth of the Nisha family, Si Duhan had long suspected that it was possible. It was the fat Samor who went to Jerbo that day, and the nasty fat guy who gritted his teeth with hatred, is simply the symbol of Fat Samor
"Should they still be in Riwading? The fat man closed the invitation in his hand. "Take me to see them tomorrow!" I happen to have a big deal in my hand that will fascinate the Dardanelles, let’s see if they dare to take it! "
