Compared to Murong Chao, Xiao Zhang naturally had a favorable impression of Liang Chuan when he first saw him. As for the eccentric Murong Chao, just looking at his face made Xiao Zhang's hair stand on end.
However, when making decisions, he doesn't just consider how a person's face looks.
Looking at the matter, the strategy proposed by Murong Chao is indeed very tempting, but it is completely a pie in the sky and a waste of money!
Murong Chao still had a few people under his command a few years ago, but since he went to South Vietnam, not a single one of them was left. He was enjoying a good life in the palace of South Vietnam, and his people had problems with food and clothing. Who would follow him? There's a ghost.
This person just has a little more tricks, but buying shares in their cooperative with nothing is not attractive at all compared to a potential stock like Liang Chuan who invested a lot of money!
The two are mortal enemies, and you can only choose one of them.
Xiao Zhang couldn't please both sides. At that time, he would only offend both sides. For now, Liang Chuan's role is obviously greater!
Another more important factor in choosing Liang Chuan is that Liang Chuan is now also the enemy of the Song Dynasty!
The enemy of your enemy is your friend!
He never dreamed that the Song Dynasty would attack Liang Chuan first, forcing such an outstanding person to have no choice but to hide at sea.
I think this island was Murong Chao's hometown back then!
The two had a bloody battle at this time. Murong Chao was defeated at that time, and now he took the initiative to beg the Khitans to take him in.
It is difficult for Xiao Zhang to value such a person.
'Murong Chao knows too many of our secrets, if he stabs us in the back after leaving. . '
Xiao Zhang's eyes were full of killing intent!
'As long as he dares, I, Daliao, will chase him to the ends of the earth and to the ends of the earth until he dies. You have to know that we are not the only ones who have hatred for Murong Chao in the world. Yamamoto Japanese pirates, South Vietnamese and Xixia people all want his head. , Oh, by the way, there is also Liang Chuan. He can't deal with anyone who comes out. How dare he dare to rebel against us! '
'The words are so true, but how can you predict that Liang Chuan will definitely be with us? Han and Liao are not at odds! '
Xiao Zhang said firmly: "Do you know who his top intelligence general is?" '
Yelu Juncai shook his head.
'That is Yelu Chongguang, the son of Yelu Ping and the grandson of Yelu Xin. '
Yelu Juncai was a little confused. These two people were not famous people. On the contrary, he had never heard of their deeds at all.
'these are. . '
'They are Khitans! '
Yelu Juncai looked stern!
'How can it be! Can the Han people take in the Khitans? '
Xiao Zhang snorted heavily and watched his ship gradually go north, and Liangchuan's fleet in the distance drifted away.
'If he can tolerate the Khitans, why can't I tolerate the Han people! '
Xiao Zhang now regards Liang Chuan as his number one rival and follows Liang Chuan as an example everywhere. He must not only learn skills from him, but also use his methods to retaliate!
'Why did we abandon the set of code words for intelligence exchange we had before? Do you know the reason? '
Yelu Juncai had a worried look on his face, hissed, and frowned.
'At that time, it seemed that our people were arrested by the Song Dynasty people for fear of leaking secrets. . '
Yelu Jun suddenly realized it!
'What do you mean, sir, that Liang Chuan destroyed our secret language? '
'I don't know if he has done anything sabotage, but since our people have surrendered to him, there is a possibility, so we must guard against it! Although the cost of replacement is a bit higher, fortunately, we have done a little business over the years, so it is not a waste of time and energy. We just took advantage of that opportunity to replace our people. In the end, this is a good thing and we do not lose money! '
'This man actually has so much energy that he can make the Khitans join him. What methods does he have? '
'He doesn't have any means, he just has money. '
Xiao Zhang's words left Yelu Juncai speechless.
The Khitan people treat their subordinates like dogs and don't even give them enough to eat. As for Liang Chuan, he gives more to his subordinates than to his own family. How can the group of people around him not give up on him?
Yelu Juncai also experienced such a day a few years ago, and everyone in his group understands the power of money.
Xiao Zhang didn't know Liang Chuan's charm, but he believed that as long as he had money, he would be able to do things easily. This was the truth. No one could talk about their feelings. Their stomachs had to be filled first!
'Liang Chuan is unwilling to associate with us, but he is willing to do business with us. '
'this. . ! '
Even Yelu Juncai found it incredible that the Japanese in the North were going crazy now. .
'Be well prepared when you go back. We also have to show our attitude. I think Liang Chuan is serious about doing business. We must seize this opportunity. I even gave him the token of our camp. Other joints It's up to you to take care of it, and you must not miss anything! '
'Is this appropriate, sir? . ? '
Xiao Zhang waved his big hand and said coldly: "There is nothing wrong. We in Daliao are now under the rule of treacherous ministers and ambitious people have no future. What we want is to destroy the old and establish the new, and do things that ordinary people don't dare to do. If we bet correctly, we will benefit a lot." , it is wrong, what do we lose? Those goods are shipped to the north, not our freight. Are you still afraid of this? '
'I'm just afraid that Liang Chuan has many tricks, sir. . '
'Are you afraid that I will fall into his trap? That’s all, just pay the tuition fee, nothing to be afraid of! '
Xiao Zhang's eyes were filled with jealousy. Now the Liao Kingdom was in chaos, with treacherous ministers in charge, and everyone was in danger. The King of Wei single-handedly controlled the government, and if he was allowed to play for two more years, the country would almost be destroyed!
His most important task now is to unite the loyal people in the court and get rid of this traitor first, otherwise there will never be peace in the court!
But how can King Wei's strength be so easily defeated? The relationship between the DPRK and China is intricately linked, and there are countless people who rely on him. Xiao Zhang only feels that there is a long road ahead of him, and there is a long way to go!
On Liang Chuan's side, Xia Dehai stood next to Liang Chuan as he watched the Khitan's small broken boats move away.
Liang Chuan took a look and asked first: 'Where did those good materials come from? Don’t you kid eat so well every day? '
Xia Dehai was so aggrieved that he couldn't utter a word and said, "How can my boss do that? These are the things he usually saves when trading with boatmen at sea. They are just waiting for his boss to get on the ship at this time and give them to his boss!" '
Xia Dehai's life was also very difficult. His face was stained with rust all year round, and his skin was as tanned as copper by the sun. If he ate well, he would also have other enjoyments. How could he survive such a hard life?
'When I go ashore this time, I will definitely get you a set of copper pots, and give you some chili pepper, so you can have a good taste of the shabu-shabu! '
'Thank you, boss! '
'Don't thank me yet. You just heard that the Khitans are here and want to do business with us. I have agreed to them. I only trust you for the job of running the sea. When the time comes, let someone who can do business send someone to follow you. You go together! '
The sea is vast and there are many different paths.
'You and I have been in trouble for many years, and I really can't find anyone else who can do the job except you. At this time, the dangerous Japanese are causing trouble in the North. We shouldn't take risks, but you have also seen that the Song Dynasty banned our Liang family army and cut off our income. Brothers can't get enough food and salary, they will only starve to death! '
"With our master's treasure ships and artillery, no one on this sea is our opponent, and a few Japanese are nothing." I, Xia Dehai, have been to Nanyang countless times, but I have never been to the Northland. I just have the opportunity to take a good look at the scenery of the Northland! '
'The Khitans are also engaged in maritime activities now. You can go there this time to see how their harbors and ships are doing. '
Xia Dehai laughed and said: "Their sea ships are, in general, far from ours. It is very difficult to make several trips back and forth. They are not comparable to our treasure ships!" '
'I don't think so. They have learned to be smart now and spend money to buy technology. Maybe in a few years, this sea will be their world! '
Liang Chuan's biggest worry was that the Song Dynasty had foolishly closed the customs, while the Khitans were trying to attract people to do business. One thing was going down, the other was going up. In a few years, all the business on the sea would belong to the Khitans!
'My boss is overly worried. If we talk about the Han people in the north, it might be possible, but as for these Khitans, pull them down. They can't do business except raising horses! '
Liang Chuan did not argue with him, and was already planning to trade goods with the Khitans!
The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, and this time I went out to sea to prepare some New Year goods for the people on the island. The ship was approaching Qingyuan, but it turned out that not a single ship came out of the Sunjiang estuary where Qianfan was crossing.
'Master, should we go back to Liu'ao Island? Now the sea inspection is strict, our people will report it, and now the government has prepared a lot of sea ships to pursue smugglers like us at sea. '
Liang Chuan rejected Xia Dehai's kindness.
'By the way, do we have that much time? We have to go to Liu'ao Island again and it's already the Lantern Festival when we get back. Why don't you explain it to the brothers? '
Xia Dehai didn't dare to say anything, but he was extremely worried.
This movement is too big, and I'm afraid it will cause another commotion.
Before leaving, the Soviet military advisor told him to be careful on the road and not to conflict with people on the shore. Would the government not see such a big movement?
"You guys just wait at sea for a while. Brother Li can go ashore with me after nightfall!" '
'Okay, if something happens, my boss must get back to the ship quickly. When they see our treasure ship, the government will not dare to chase it! '
Don't dare to chase?
'Why? '
Xia Dehai smiled and said: "The government has always thought that we are Japanese bandits, and so do I." . He fired a few cannons at the official ship, which scared them, so they didn't dare to chase him! '
Liang Chuan didn't know what to say, so he thought for a while and said: 'Prepare some gifts, I will take them ashore. The more expensive the better, you don't need too many! '
'yes. Xia Dehai responded and turned around to make preparations. Liang Chuan looked at the shore getting closer and fell into deep thought.
Qin Jing and Yuchi were also about to go ashore. Liang Chuan thought about it and decided not to take them with him.
Where he was going this time, even if they came, it would be superfluous.
