Chapter 1997
Back then, the Haihan Fleet blocked the Qiantang River and approached the city of Hangzhou. The battle was really big. Although the Zhejiang government tried to cover it up afterwards, calling it an "offensive and defensive drill agreed by the two parties in advance", but because there were too many people who knew the inside story at the time However, this kind of wording can only achieve the effect of "deceiving the top" under the blessing of money, but cannot achieve the effect of "concealing the bottom", sealing off the discussion of this among the people.Even in Yangzhou, which is [-] miles away from Hangzhou, well-informed salt merchants have heard about the inside story of this matter.
Of course, the salt merchant surnamed Ma has been to the state capitals in Zhejiang many times, and he knows more about what happened in Hangzhou at that time, and he also knows that Haihan, a small country in the South China Sea, is far more powerful than the rumors. sharp.Now that Daming, which is seriously lacking in maritime armaments, really has nothing to do with the opponent, it can only swallow his anger and acquiesce in his activities near the coastline of his country.
In the past two years, he is very clear about the attitude of the Ningbo government towards the Haihan people on Zhoushan Island.The salt produced locally in Ningbo itself was operated by Haihan people behind the scenes, allowing a group of puppet salt merchants working for Ningbo officials to run errands in front of the stage.If one day the Haihan people lose their patience and choose to use military means instead of economic means to resolve the struggle in the salt industry, then some people in Yangzhou may suffer bad luck because of this.
Dai Yingda said: "In fact, the situation that the old horse said is not necessarily a bad thing for us. If the Haihan people want to do something, their first target is of course someone who has had trouble with them. What we need to do is Let the Haihan people know who their real enemy is when necessary."
"Then how can we know where the Haihan people's bottom line is?" the man in gray asked.
Dai Yingda shook his head and said: "This is a bit difficult...but if more people die, they will be one step closer to their bottom line. Just this time someone came to the door, the old man guessed that He Huan and his gang couldn't bear it You guys try to keep an eye on it and collect as many personal and physical evidence as possible, if you want to testify against the Haihan people in the future, these evidences will come in handy!"
The "He Huan" Dai Yingda said is the number one figure in the camp of Shanxi-Shanxi salt merchants. The status of the salt merchants is the same.
The man in gray sighed sincerely: "Jiang is old and hot, but you, Mr. Dai, are so considerate! This junior will arrange manpower and keep an eye on the movements of the Shanshan salt merchants."
Dai Yingda added: "Don't just stare at the other party, this group of Ningbo salt merchants should also pay close attention to it! Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to travel to the mountains. I don't think this group of people is a good person. Maybe they just came to Yangzhou on a special trip. looking for trouble!"
The two camps of salt merchants in Yangzhou can be said to be quite distinct, and the struggle has never stopped. Even the camp of Huizhou merchants, which has an advantage on the surface, still dare not be careless in the slightest, not only guarding against possible counterattacks by Shanxi salt merchants at any time , is also very concerned about the foreign counterparts in Ningbo.An old fox like Dai Yingda was very keen to perceive the key point of the current situation, so he stared at the Shanxi salt merchant to see how he would react, and then tried to find the opponent's loopholes to take advantage of.
The man in gray took the order and went away, and Dai Yingda told the middle-aged man with goatee: "Ji Qing, you are familiar with the magistrate's yamen, go and find out if there is any new news, if He Huan and his gang want to show up in broad daylight If you want to make a rough move, you must first greet the government, and there will be some rumors in the end."
Goatee got up and made a bow, and then left. Only Dai Yingda and the old man surnamed Ma were left sitting in the hall.
"The Yang family, the Xu family, and the Cui family haven't sent anyone to participate in the discussion at this time. It's been too long, right?" Maybe it's because of his close relationship with the old man surnamed Ma, Dai Yingda's tone at this time is no longer As calm as before.
The old man surnamed Ma responded: "The Patriarchs of the Cui family and the Xu family have gone to Yingtian Mansion, and they probably haven't come back yet, and the family members probably don't know whether they should come to Dai's Manor to discuss matters. But the Yang family doesn't know what's going on. Yang Chengye didn't show up."
The Anhui salt merchants in Yangzhou are represented by the seven surnames. When major events happen, the heads of each family will rush to Daijiazhuang as soon as possible to discuss the matter and make a decision on the current situation together.If the head of the family is unable to be present for other reasons, usually the number two and number three figures who can represent the family to make decisions will also attend.But on today's occasion, counting the host Dai's family, only four of the seven families arrived, so it's no wonder that Dai Yingda was a little dissatisfied with this.
Dai Yingda snorted and said, "I heard that Yang Chengye got very close to Fatty Lu across the river recently, and the two of them were listening to operas together in the city. It's really fun!"
The old man surnamed Ma replied: "What happened? Did Yang Chengye forget that his elder brother Yang Chengshi died at the hands of Shanxi salt merchants!"
Dai Yingda half-closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair and replied: "After all, he was still young when his elder brother had an accident. It is estimated that decades have passed, and he has long since forgotten these hatreds."
The old man surnamed Ma frowned and said: "Even so, as a Huizhou merchant, how could he mix with his opponents? Isn't this a joke for the northern barbarians across the river! No, I have to go to Yangjiazhuang later, Ask this kid what he thinks!"
Dai Yingda said: "Old Ma, what Yang Chengye wants to do is his choice. If he thinks that the seven surnames are not important to the Yang family, then his Yang family is also not important to our seven surnames. Recently, the Ren family and the Su family The Zhu family and the Yang family are also very active, if the Yang family does not want to stay with us, then we should support another family to replace them."
The old man surnamed Ma had known Dai Yingda for many years. Hearing what he said, he knew that he was deliberately asking the reason for the absence of the three families just now, so he brought out the Yang family to blame.And obviously Dai Yingda's dissatisfaction with Yang Chengye has accumulated to a certain extent, and he has the idea of supporting other Huizhou merchant families to replace him.However, from his standpoint, it is impossible to just sit back and watch the Yang family fall like this.
"Old Dai, you also know that I, Ma Zhengping, and Yang Chengye's father are brothers and sisters, and have always regarded Yang Chengye as a nephew, so you sell my face and ask me to talk to Yang Chengye again, beat this bastard, and tell him not to Go wrong all the way!"
After Ma Zhengping finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Dai Yingda. Seeing that the other party did not respond immediately, he took the initiative to say: "If you don't speak, I will take it as your agreement."
Dai Yingda then said: "Lao Ma, you have to take care of the family of your good brother who has passed away. Naturally, I can't object to such a kind and righteous thing, but this Yang Chengye is obviously a rich man, that's why he was attracted by Fatty Lu. The two batches of salt that were shipped from Hai'an Township in a month were lost halfway for no reason, so it happened that these two batches of salt were all arranged by Yang Chengye in the local shipping itinerary. He did not give an explanation after returning to Yangzhou. The fat man invited him to dinner and a show in the city. Do you think there are too many coincidences? Of course, if you want to ask me for evidence, then I really have no evidence to prove that he sold these two batches of goods. , but do I need to prove this to anyone? I just need someone to take responsibility!"
Dai Yingda's voice became louder and angrier as he spoke. It was hard to imagine that this was the same person as the calm and confident old man in front of everyone just now, but Ma Zhengping stood in front of him, but he didn't respond to a single word.He knew that what Dai Yingda said was right, no matter whether Yang Chengye betrayed the interests of the collective, he had to bear the corresponding responsibility for it, not to mention that he was also suspected of colluding with the Shanshan salt merchants.
Huizhou merchants were able to gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou from behind. Of course, it is not only good at forming groups and opening up the joints of the government. It is also very important to formulate and abide by the rules within the group. are removed from the group.
Dai Yingda seemed to be on the verge of losing his temper, and his tone eased a little: "It's not impossible for you to help Yang Chengye, but he has to perform first and make up for his mistakes before I can convince others to forgive him for the mistakes he made before. Be open."
Ma Zhengping responded: "Old Dai, what do you want him to do?"
Dai Yingda said: "Isn't he on good terms with Fatty Lu? Then think of a way to make Fatty Lu suffer a bit, such as giving us his business in Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion...or under the name of Yang Chengye. "
Ma Zhengping said: "How... how is this possible? If he wants to give up the business, he will probably have to put a knife on his neck!"
"Then find a way to put the knife on his neck!" Dai Yingda said angrily: "If Yang Chengye can't prove that he is a useful person to us, and can't prove his loyalty to our collective, then tell me why the seven surnames Do you want to leave a place for him?"
"But this matter... is really difficult!" Ma Zhengping said with a frown, "Fatty Lu has always only been active in a few places on the other side of the river. It is not easy to find a suitable opportunity to deal with him. And if Lu is moved Fatty, it may arouse the anger of He Huan and his group, and they will fight with us, and the situation will be difficult to control at that time!"
"You are right, so we must try to make the most of the current situation." Dai Yingda said slowly: "He Huan and the others will definitely attack the Ningbo salt merchants and ask Yang Chengye to bring Fatty Lu to the two boats of the Ningbo salt merchants as much as possible. Nearby, and then we took the opportunity to deal with Fatty Lu, and then passed the blame to the Ningbo salt merchants, and let He Huan and the others go and have a good bite with the Ningbo salt merchants!"
"Can this work?" Although Ma Zhengping felt that Dai Yingda's plan was feasible to a certain extent, it seemed that there were too many uncertain factors, and it was easy to overturn during the implementation process: "Aren't you worried that Yang Chengye will collude with Fatty Lu? What if..."
"Of course we can't bet everything on Yang Chengye." Dai Yingda explained: "If he doesn't come according to our plan, but chooses to collude with outsiders, then we might as well provide more information to Ningbo salt merchants and let them know that he is Who has been secretly making trouble for them. Is Fatty Lu’s musketeer team amazing? Then let him go and wrestle with the musketeers of the Haihan people. I believe the Haihan people will be very happy when they know the news. happy."
Ma Zhengping was secretly startled when he heard that, and quickly Dai Yingda made a big circle, even planning to push Yang Chengye, one of the seven surnames, into a desperate situation. The ultimate goal was to deal with the mysterious Musketeers under Fatty Lu.
But Ma Zhengping can also understand why Dai Yingda is so persistent about it. Ever since the musketeer team appeared, it has become a serious problem for Huizhou salt merchants. These prominent figures like the seven surnames rarely show up in public now. One of them is that they are a little afraid of those musketeers, fearing that they will be assassinated from a distance with their muskets.
Although the seven surnames also have their own private armaments, and even a small number of bird guns and Lumi guns that were eliminated from the Ming army, but whether it is the power of the muskets or the combat level of the musketeers, they are all comparable to the musketeers of Fatty Lu. Significant difference.In order to protect themselves, they could only put pressure on the other party through the Yangzhou government to force them not to use these prohibited special weapons in Yangzhou.
Of course, this is only a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause, so Huizhou salt merchants have been trying to eliminate this serious problem.But this matter is not easy. Fatty Lu's musketeer team is quite powerful, and their own armed forces are still difficult to match. The only feasible way is to find a way to use external force to eradicate this thorn in the side.However, if he hastily informed the Haihan people earlier, it may not only be the culprit who attracted the Haihan army's misfortune, maybe even their Huizhou salt merchants would also be implicated.
Dai Yingda's idea is to take this opportunity to solve the Musketeer's problem, Yang Chengye's problem, and the ownership of the salt market in Suzhou and Songjiang Prefectures.
If Yang Chengye's position has not changed and is willing to cooperate with his own arrangements, then take the opportunity to get rid of Fatty Lu from the camp of salt merchants in Shanxi and Shanxi, conveniently blame the salt merchants in Ningbo, and then seize the salt markets in the two places originally controlled by Fatty Lu as soon as possible. , This is definitely an ideal situation for Huizhou salt merchants.And Fatty Lu's powerful musketeer team will definitely be divided up by his accomplices immediately, and will not pose too much threat to his side for the time being.
And if Yang Chengye rebelled and used his own arrangement to inform Fatty Lu, then Dai Yingda would send news to the Ningbo salt merchants about the inside story of Fatty Lu's musketeer team attacking the salt transport team in Ningbo. Sending an army to Yangzhou to get rid of Fatty Lu is also what it should be.At that time, Yang Chengye will also be cleaned up by the way, and his own camp will be cleaned up.As for whether they can win the markets of Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, it probably depends on the changes in the situation, and they can't take the initiative like in the first case.
If Haihan really sent troops to solve this matter, it might change the status quo of Yangzhou's salt market and allow Ningbo salt merchants to enter here to replace Shanxi salt merchants. Dai Yingda is not fully sure whether it will become a lure. .However, he believes that Ningbo salt merchants have an extremely strong desire to enter the Jiangsu market. In the long run, it is estimated that they cannot be stopped by relying on blocking, so they can only retreat and try to squeeze out the current competitors first, so as to avoid their own in the future. The market is compressed too much.
