Chapter four hundred and seventy-fifth of grace and power
No matter how speculation is, after receiving the invitation, these leaders, gang leaders, branch rudders and others all arrived here obediently at the agreed time, and the place they chose was at the Iron Blood Sect.
As for Zhao Yuan, the young sect leader, these sects chose to surrender, so they rushed over!
Of course, the Iron Blood Sect also received it carefully. In the hall of the Iron Blood Sect, a large map has been hung. The length and width of this map are two meters. It not only clearly marked the cities around Taihu Lake, but also the control range of various gangs. At the same time, important ones such as mountains, rivers, etc. are also marked in detail.
Just look at this picture and you will be clear at a glance.
So when those sect leaders and others came in, the first thing they saw was this map. The detailed map annotation surprised them. Moreover, they were all sects in the martial arts world. Who would care about these? Therefore, the appearance of this map really surprised them, and they were inevitably talking about it when they were surprised. When they were in charge of the Taihu area, they had never seen such a scene.
In this way, the speculation in their hearts may have become a fact, that is, the leader of this sect is not like a sect in the martial arts world at all, and it is like a marching and fighting.
"The master of the sect and the wife of the sect will arrive!"
The disciples at the entrance of the Iron Blood Sect shouted loudly at this moment, and the gang leaders were watching quickly returned to their positions.
Zhao Yuan and Liu Zhiqing walked out from the front.
"Welcome to the master and his wife!"
The gang leader said in unison, quite loudly.
Zhao Yuan and Liu Zhiqing also bowed together and said, "You are here to come and work hard all the way. Yang thanks you here! Please sit down!"
"Thank you, Master and Madam!"
The gang leader said in unison again, and then he did it in unison.
Zhao Yuan glanced at everyone present and then said slowly: "I asked you to come this time, so there is something to discuss, but before that, we will briefly sort out the affairs of each gang. First of all, the Quicksand Sect! That is, now Dingshan Branch, can Jiang Zhuangzhu be there?"
A burly man stood up at this moment and said, "I'm here!"
Zhao Yuan stood up slowly, and a disciple next to him immediately handed over a long slender bamboo pole. Zhao Yuan picked up the stick, pointed to their sphere of influence, and said: "A few days ago, the head rudder received information. A cargo ship docked in your sphere of influence was robbed, and the cargo on it was looted. Do you know about this?"
Zhuang Jiang was stunned and said, "If you go back to the sect leader, I... don't know!"
He really didn't know, so Zhao Yuan looked shocked when he talked about it.
"Don't know?"
Zhao Yuan's face slightly darkened and said, "I don't know, that only means one problem. Your branch's intelligence collection is not effective. Go back and give you a month to choose some smart people, arrange them in places where everyone talks a lot, and ensure the accuracy of intelligence collection. Except for you, everyone else is the same! Jiang Dunzhu, there are problems!"
Jiang Duzhu said: "No problem, I will do it immediately after I go back!"
I don’t know what happened on my territory, but the head coach knew it. The source of this news can only be explained one thing, that is, there is also a head coach’s eyeliner in my branch, but it’s not surprising to think about it.
Zhao Yuan said: "Very good. The people who robbed this ship have found out that they are hiding in Wangpo Mountain. The number is about fifty people. They also do things like robbing families on weekdays. This time they tasted the sweetness, so naturally there will be a second and third time. When robbing passers-by merchant ships in our territory, surveillance is to regard our Iron Blood Sect as nothing. In addition, these merchant ships have taught protection fees. This protection fee is small, but it is a big damage to our reputation and must be eliminated. After returning, they will be organized immediately to completely eliminate them. Can it be done?"
Jiang Duzhu thought for a while and said, "Yes! There are only fifty people!"
Zhao Yuan said: "It's very good. You can arrange the seized spoils yourself, but you have to give priority to those fallen disciples and injured disciples."
Jiang Duzhu said: "This subordinate understands, thank you for the reminder!"
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and looked at Liu Zhiqing next to him. Liu Zhiqing recalled and waved her hand. A little maid immediately handed over a book. After she looked at it, she said: "Zheng Zhuang joined my Iron Blood Sect three months ago and became a branch of my Iron Blood Sect. In the past two months, a total of 1,300 taels of silver were paid. There were also a lot of merchants in the location of the branch. Therefore, the head coach arranged 2,000 taels of silver. As for the construction of the dock in front of the branch, there will be a dedicated person to bear the money to ensure that every copper plate is used for the construction of the dock. In addition, in your sphere of influence, you will bear the communication with the local people and the government!"
Jiang Dunzhu was stunned and said, "But these silvers were handed over by the branch, this..."
Apart from him, the other gang leaders were still very surprised. You should know that the cost is not high. Now that the money is paid, it has been returned, and the head office has paid back to build the dock. This is simply unheard of.
Liu Zhiqing said: "A part of these silver is also from the silver paid by other branches. The headquarter has its own business dealings, which is enough to ensure expenses. Therefore, we will take the basic principles of overall arrangement based on the actual situation of each branch to the public, so don't be surprised, sit down!"
Zhuang Jiang bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam!"
Liu Zhiqing nodded slightly and said, "In addition, I'm telling you that the money paid by each branch is arranged by the head of the head of the head of the head of the head of the head of the branch, and the main purpose is to build bridges, docks, clinics, private schools and other local things in the name of the head of the head of the branch, and the branch of the branch is relatively lacking. The head of the head of the head of the head of the head of the head of the head of the road will send people to investigate in detail and then arrange it according to the urgency of the situation. Basically, each branch is responsible, so please have the idea of using your money to help other branches to do business. This time, in addition to the head of Jiang, there are four other branches, including the construction of two bridges, a clinic and a private school. Let me tell you one by one!"
Next, Liu Zhiqing explained in detail the branches, the specific amount of money, etc., which surprised the branch leaders present one by one. The practice of the Iron Blood Sect's head coach was completely beyond their expectations. Originally, he thought there was only one place, but he didn't expect it to be five places.
After Liu Zhiqing finished making arrangements, Zhao Yuan continued: "Please listen carefully to the next thing. I believe you all know that not long ago, we had already taken the head of the Underworld Gate and two branches to kill Dou Yuan, the leader of the Underworld Gate. Three days ago, we received a letter from the Suzhou prefect Chen, saying that the Underworld Gate has expanded greatly, levying high protection fees on passing ships, and harming innocent people, which is no different from the robbers. The Suzhou Yamen has planned to completely clear the Underworld Gate.
However, due to the insufficient troops of the yamen, I entrusted my Iron Blood Sect to help suppress the bandits! For this time, the sect leader has agreed that this was a righteous act, and it also shows that the underworld gate is a disaster, which is already a resentment from the heavens! According to the spies investigated, there are nearly 400 remaining people in the Underworld gate, and the people are approaching the branch closest to us and them. Considering that there are many ships in Taihu Lake now, we cannot guide the war within Taihu Lake, so we decided to take the initiative!"
Zhao Yuan looked at the rudder on the rudder on the scene and said, "The Underworld Gate has long controlled the two major rivers and charged high tolls, which has forced many merchants to take the land or divert the route. This is a great threat to us. Now the yamen are determined to eradicate them, which is also a good opportunity for us! Considering that the rudder on the road is insufficient, we can only mobilize personnel from each branch. I don't know that the gang leader on the scene may object to it."
Now the gang leader and the helm leader also understood the meaning of Zhao Yuan summoning them this time. He said so much before, and that was all the introductory points, and this is the key.
So someone asked: "I don't know how many people are needed, because the number of people is limited, there are not many people in each branch."
Zhao Yuan said: "Thirty people are enough for each branch, and then five days later, the main steward will be assembled at the main steward, and the main steward will be unified in command. Food, grass, rescue, etc. are arranged by the main steward! In addition, it must be emphasized that the person sent must be the elite of the brother's branch. Our purpose this time is to eliminate the people in the Underworld Gate, rather than sending the brothers to death! In addition, the main steward uses the money you handed over to build bridges, roads, clinics, etc. in the local area. In addition, the purpose is to let the Iron Blood Gate and your name penetrate into the hearts of the people, so that the people and the court know about my Iron Blood Gate and the following divisions.
The rudder is not a gang that charges bribes like bandits and robbers, and fish and meat. This time, the same is true for the magistrate Chen to destroy the underworld gate. The purpose is to leave a way out for the rudder and you. The power is unpredictable! No one knows how the court will deal with the gangs like you and others next. Therefore, the leader of the sect has only one hope, that is, if one day, the court will allow all gangs to be dissolved peacefully in order to at least benefit the people, and you and your brothers will have a way out, instead of being killed like the Five Lakes Gang!”
As soon as these words were said, the people present felt cold. No matter how big the gang is, so what if the power is? Just like the Wuhu Gang in the past, the power not only controls the overall situation, but also has more than the Iron Blood Sect now. However, what? So what if the power is huge? Faced with the court's attack, there is no ability to resist at all. When the court army arrived, the huge power was easily destroyed like a destruction. The foundation created by the Wuhu Gang that so many people had spent so many people collapsed in an instant.
This also made countless people in the world know a fact in their hearts that everything is a cloud in front of the imperial army.
In fact, many people are speculating in their hearts about Zhao Yuan's identity. One of the big doubts is that he has a good relationship with the Jinyiwei. Could it be sent by the imperial court? Or, the Jinyiwei arranged it to subdue these gangs around Taihu Lake and ensure that after the Wuhu Gang is destroyed, there will be no chaotic battles between the various gangs, causing chaos here. This is why this prefect Chen can easily define the Underworld Sect as a bandit. In this way, the Iron Blood Sect will not destroy the Underworld Sect, but will naturally be the business that can only make a profit but not lose money!
The rudders and gang leaders present were not fools, so how could they not expect to come to this level? So someone immediately shouted: "How can thirty people be enough? Of course, you have to maintain enough strength to destroy the underworld gate. I will rudder out fifty people!"
With his leadership, how could the other lords show weakness? They all expressed their opinions, 60 or 70 people, and finally, the number of people was almost nearly 1,700. After all, there were more than 20 gangs that surrendered around Taihu Lake.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan stood up and pressed his hands down. Soon, the people present calmed down. Zhao Yuan then said: "There is a reason for you to dispatch thirty people. In addition, the number of people in the stele has already 700 people, which has completely crushed the underworld gate in terms of number, not to mention that the people you have all produced are elite! In addition, if we have a number of people, we suddenly gathered nearly two thousand people, and with such a large number of people, I am also worried that the court will feel that we are a threat. In this way, our goal has not been achieved, but the court will feel that we are a threat, which is a bit unworthy of the loss! Therefore, thirty people are enough."
After Zhao Yuan said this, the leaders of the gang also felt that this was indeed the case. This was not the case that they reported the number of people they had just claimed the credit.
Among these sects, those are true and those are false. Zhao Yuan cannot determine this now, but his goal has been achieved now. In addition to letting them know that they only need to hold a small meeting, they can immediately be anxious to approach the scale of two thousand people. This scale can easily destroy any sect, and it also reveals another piece of news, that is, as long as they are willing, they can easily convince the government and deal with the disobedient sect as robbers. After the handling, they will not only be unable to seek justice, but they will even be branded as robbers.
Now Taihu Lake is like the Zhou Dynasty. The headquarter is the Emperor of Zhou, and the other sects are the vassal states. To manage those vassal states, they must be obedient. In addition to using the policy of politeness and benefiting them, they must also prepare big sticks. If there are those who are dissatisfied with management, they will be beaten from time to time to let them know who is the real authority. This is also the so-called carrot and stick policy later, and the facts have proved that for some people, this policy is very effective!
