All this time, old Sangji had never considered the Cunning Tiger brothers and sisters as a threat.
This is because the territory of the three Ciaohu brothers and sisters is Muse, and the border with Kachin State is Lashio. The Lashio general Maoliang had already been bribed by him to become a Burmese traitor.
Therefore, the economic blockade is of little use to the KIA.
However, for the Kokang Allied Forces, the three Muse and Cunning Tiger brothers pose a great threat.
In 1919, the military government abolished the administrative district level of Lao Cai City.
The mainland has also introduced a series of policies targeting Lao Cai Market, which does not allow mainland tourists to gamble across the border.
We also stepped up anti-smuggling and anti-narcotics efforts, closed border markets, and moved all merchants to the Jiegao Duty Free Zone.
And Muse is a nail that the military government has hammered into the heart of Kokang District. Just across the bridge is the Jiegao Duty Free Trade Zone, where everything is gathered.
However, not even a piece of cotton thread or a grain of salt is allowed to flow to the old market...
Deterred by military means and blocked by economic means, the Kokang District, centered on Lao Cai City, has been completely turned into an abandoned land.
However, the main task of the Cunning Tiger Division is to protect Muse and keep the Yunnan-Burma Highway open.
Therefore, they have always been on the same page with Lao Cai Shi. Even if some small-scale conflicts broke out, it would end with the Kokang Army retreating and the Tiger Battalion clinging to Muse.
The entire Shan State has reached a wonderful balance because of the existence of Muse.
However, Ye Qing, the troublemaker, broke this balance with aid.
The ambitions of the three Cunning Tiger siblings will expand as their military strength increases.
After military blockade and economic blockade, war will also break out.
The only good thing is that Kachin State is not under the jurisdiction of Shan State General Wu Rui.
Therefore, Ciaohu's command has no right to wage war against the Kachin Independence Army.
However, I have no such concerns about Lao Cai Market.
Old Sangji could no longer sit still when he thought of the gold Buddha statue worth 200 million seized from the ferry in Menggu Town escorted by cunning tigers to Mandalay to be presented to Shan State General Wu Rui.
Shan State General Wu Rui did not allow Cunning Tiger to attack Lao Cai Market because the military government would not allocate military expenditures for fighting with the Kokang Allied Forces without sufficient benefits, and all expenses would be paid by himself.
When the cannon goes off, gold is ten thousand taels, and after a battle is won, more than a billion are gone.
However, with this gold mine, Wu Rui has enough motivation...
Old Sangji cursed angrily: "This little bastard is just a stick that stirs shit!"
Jin Sha looked disgusted: "Grandma, if you don't know how to use metaphors, don't use metaphors. He is a troublemaker. What are we..."
"I......"
Jin Sha frowned her slender eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "I have been thinking, is he really supporting Cunning Tiger at all costs just to avenge Master?"
"It's not for revenge, what else does he want to do." Old Sangji frowned and said distressedly: "He is a Kyoto yamen, and by chance, he became a disciple of Xiao Wenzi and became a master of stone gambling. His biggest pursuit is not to be pitted. Rough stone?
Even if he opens a Stone Restaurant in Kyoto, he can still cooperate with me.
I have more than 30 quarries at the entrance of the original quarry, which can be jointly developed. By then, we will have as many stones as we need.
Even if he holds a public sale in Kyoto, these venues can meet his needs. Why is he still not satisfied?
Jin Sha turned her bright eyes and said slowly: "Why do I feel that his interest in the laterite nickel mine is far greater than his interest in the stone gambling site!"
"Laterite nickel ore?" Old Sangji said disapprovingly: "Refining nickel is time-consuming and laborious, and you can only make counterfeit coins. Do you think a Kyoto government official will make counterfeit coins in northern Myanmar and sell them to the mainland?
Besides, for him, the money earned from mining laterite nickel ore is not as good as cutting a few more gambling stones.
This guy has only been in Rayleigh for a few months and has already made over a billion just cutting stones. Can you make so much money from mining laterite nickel ore? Only a fool would go to the trouble of digging a mine. Cutting rocks is so enjoyable, and the knife can cost hundreds of millions..."
Those who have a rough quarry at home are not interested in other minerals, even gold mines...
Jin Sha smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa, I think so too, but we don't know what Ye Qing thinks. Just like when he invested in real estate and hospitals in Ruili, it was all a waste of money in Kailai.
Instead, it is better to invest the money in the quarry, and the profits earned will definitely be greater than these businesses.
To put it another way, what kind of return can he get from funding the three Cunning Tiger brothers? They only have casinos, bathing centers, nightclubs, etc., and Ye Qing doesn't even look at these businesses.
The money that hundreds of ladies make from selling meat in a year is not as much as he makes from cutting a stone.
He helped the three Ciaohu brothers and sisters kill Maoliang and occupy Lashio. The person who benefited was the Shan State general Wu Rui. What did he get from the three Ciaohu brothers and sisters?
Hundreds of kilograms of gold, a share certificate for a laterite nickel mine in Mandalay. "
Old Sangji scratched the few white hairs on his head in distress: "If he doesn't seek death, he won't die. If he continues like this, he will really die."
Jinsha chuckled: "That's what Wu Gedan and Zhu Longtai thought. What's the result? Which assassination failed and failed.
In the words of martial arts novels, this kid himself is a martial arts master who travels thousands of miles and kills one person in ten steps. He is also very afraid of death. He wears a body armor, carries bodyguards with him, and is followed by two snipers.
Such tight security does not even exist for high-ranking mainland officials..."
The more Jin Sha talked, the more desperate Old Sangji became. Yes, this kid was so afraid of death that he was very difficult to kill.
"The most terrifying thing is that if you kill him, you have to be careful about the revenge of the Ye family in Kyoto!"
After saying these words, old Sanji's dark face instantly turned pale.
Jinsha looked at him seriously: "So, we can only cooperate with him, and we must find out what he wants. Only by giving in to him can we get weapons and various supplies from him."
Old Sangji raised his head and said in despair: "I'm Alexander! God knows what this kid is thinking, even if he is greedy for women, it's fine. As long as he proposes to you, I will give you everything as a dowry... "
Jinsha was immediately annoyed and said coquettishly: "Grandpa!"
Old Sangji turned to look at her: "Why, you don't want to. Xiao Qingzi is very good. He has been in Ruili for so long and has never been to nightclubs or bathing centers..."
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about!" Jin Sha said angrily: "Do you still want to cooperate with Ye Qing?"
"Yes I do."
"Let me tell you, Ye Qing's interest in the laterite nickel mine is far greater than that of the quarry and the gold mine." Jinsha said with a pretty face: "In other words, his suppression of the Kokang Alliance was just to avenge his master. , in fact, there is another purpose.”
Old Sangji's eyes flashed: "Go on."
"No matter what he wants, just give it to him." Jinsha gritted her teeth and said as she looked at the white fox walking out of the Crown Casino. She was dressed in a camouflage military uniform, which made the soft vixen look more heroic and handsome.
"Peng Dong and Peng San are dead, and their territory will become ownerless. Sooner or later, it will be divided up by Zhu Longtai and Yang Miao. Instead, it is better to give this territory to Ye Qing."
