"The pirate leader Sha Dacheng is leading the thieves to rest at the Iron Gate Pass, intending to disadvantage the merchant ships passing through Tianjinwei......"

Shen Vain knelt on the ground and said respectfully, hearing this place name Wang Tong frowned, the place name was very unfamiliar, Shen Vain on the ground looked up, and hurriedly added:

"It's a fishing port in the east of Lijin County, Axonan Province. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"How many people, how many ships?"

"About a hundred and twenty ships, four thousand people up and down."

After Shen Mad finished speaking, he peeked at Wang Tong's expression, but Wang Tong's expression was faint, and he hurriedly lowered his head again, and heard Wang Tong speak again:

"This official has heard a long time ago, everyone at sea is under the command of Boss Shen, why, can't this Sha Dacheng Boss Shen catch it?"

There were thorns in the words, but they were intentional, and Shen Yuan replied respectfully as if nothing had happened:

"I don't dare to say such a big thing in front of adults, the small ones have business in Tianjin Wei, and the children below run ships and trade goods at sea, thanks to the blessings of adults, they have always been wealthy, and they have earned a lot, but the small ones have earned a lot, but others may not have this way, and they want to grab the villain's side but are restrained, and some of them are used to it, so they have a dislike with the villain."

Shen Vain was talking about it here, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Tong's mouth, and he listened to Shen Vain continue:

"Sha Dacheng wants to rob Tianjin Wei here, but the villain is not good at blocking it with real knives and guns, he really wants to fire at sea, and he hurts each other's harmony over there, everyone is scattered everywhere, and the sea is chaotic, I'm afraid it will be even more harmful to Tianjin Wei's business, so I am here to report, please send troops to suppress the thief!!"

Hearing the phrase "suppressing thieves", Wang Tong laughed out loud and said:

"Boss Shen seems to have figured it out!"

Shen Yuan kowtowed on the ground and said:

"The villain in Tianjin Wei has earned several lifetimes of inexhaustible family property, and now he thinks that the next generation has a background and can glorify the ancestors, since the adult has promised the villain, the villain will naturally figure it out."

Wang Tong laughed, got up from his seat and dragged Shen Vain up, and said:

"Since Boss Shen has figured it out, he is a good friend of Tianjin Wei, and it is convenient to do anything here, and you and I are also friends.

"Adults click, let the villain know his way back, and he can't afford to be raised like an adult."

Shen Vain looked deferential, even if he was helped to sit down, he only sat half of the recline, Wang Tong asked with a smile:

"The iron gate is here, I'm not familiar with it, I don't know if Boss Shen can lead the way9"

"The little one should stand on the bow of the adult warship, so that the wind can lead the way!"

Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"Boss Shen is now his own family, if you have anything to say, just open your mouth, since there are pirates on the sea, of course this official can't ignore it, but he still has to prepare for a few days, and he has to ask Boss Shen to wait, and then he will trouble Boss Shen to lead the way."

"Wu Er, can you park more than a hundred ships and four or five thousand people over there at Tiemen Pass?"

As soon as Shen Vain left, Wang Tong called Wu Er in the pro-military camp, Wu Er is considered a strong man on the green forest road in Shandong, and he has done the business of selling stolen goods to pirates, so this way is naturally familiar.

Seeing the future of Tianjin Wei, Wu Er also wanted to perform with all his strength, but there was nothing he could show off" Wang Tong summoned him, and immediately showed his spirit.

"Your Excellency actually knows about the Iron Gate?"

Hearing this question, Wu Er actually asked rudely, and then slapped himself in the face, apologized and said:

"There are few people who know about the Iron Gate Pass, and the subordinates are surprised and rude for a while!"

Wang Tong waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, these Jianghu people are useful here, they are proficient in all kinds of doorways, and some things that can't be on the table and have corners can be heard from them.

"If you go back to your lordship, more than 300 ships stopped at the most time when the iron gate was closed, and nearly 10,000 people ......"

"There is still such a good port, why has no one used it all the time?"

Wang Tong was taken aback by Wu Er's answer, in addition to the two big ports in Dengzhou and Laizhou in Shandong, there is also a military port in Qingzhou Prefecture, and there is such a good port in Jinan Prefecture.

Wu Er hurriedly replied:

"My lord misunderstood, the Iron Gate Pass was a salt field a hundred years ago, and then it was abandoned, there are many shoals over there, and the sea is ...... It's just that the pirates don't have many big ships, so they can push the ships to the shallows, and the big ships can always find a place to anchor, so they can dock so many ships and people. ”

"What about the food and grass supplies? The supply from Lijin? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, those villages and towns near the sea in Jinan Mansion and Dengzhou Prefecture, I don't know how many people live by selling food and buying goods for pirates, and they have always been very lively."

It turned out that a large part of the ships coming from the side of the country, whether they were pirates or maritime merchants, anchored and unloaded at the Iron Gate Pass, not that there were any good ports over there, nor were they relying on some prosperous cities over there, but there were no big forces there that could take care of them, or they didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Small groups of pirates and local pirates in Shandong often operate there, killing each other, doing things in groups, and there are also many strong green forests in Shandong that are active there.

"But after our Tianjin Wei side prospered, the Tiemen Pass side will not work, but some local pirates in Shandong have done some work on the Nanzhili side and went to the Tiemen Pass side to shoot."

………………，

"Tang Shan, you know Sha Dacheng."

Wu Er went out, Tianjin Weihai River to inspect Tang Shan but was called by Wang Tong, although Tang Shan said that it was his duty to collect taxes on the Haihe River, but Tianjin Wei's warship sailors also had a lot of work for him, plus Tang Shan was also a pirate back then, Wang Tong naturally wanted to ask him.

"Poison? But the one who is a pirate? ”

Tang Shan really knew, and seeing that Wang Tong nodded and gave an affirmative answer, Tang Shan opened his mouth and said:

"Sha Dacheng is nicknamed the Black Shark, but he was a character who competed with Shen Vain for the head of the sea back then, and later it was Shen Vain who joined forces with several gangs in Quanzhou in Fujian to give Sha Dacheng a heavy blow, and he didn't eat it like this, or he used the method of settling righteous brothers to get together, and recognized Shen Vain as the dragon head with everyone."

Wu Er said this, but Wang Tong groaned for a while, and asked:

"In normal times, can Shen Yu order Sha Dacheng, and can the two groups of people fight to the death?"

Tang Shan shook his head with emotion and said:

"My lord said that every leader wants to do a good job but can't do it, Shen Yuan here collects water money at sea, and then everyone divides it equally, which is barely able to maintain this situation, once upon a time at sea, everyone met Guangtong East and Nanyang over there, as well as Kou and Fan Ghost, this is side by side, usually, except for the things that everyone has agreed upon, no one can command anyone."

Tang Shan said slowly, and there seemed to be some memories in it, Wang Tong also fell into deep thought, and also walked over and asked:

"So, Sha Dacheng's power on this sea is also very good?"

"Naturally, Sanshui King Shen Vain has the greatest strength in his hands, Gu Laohu is second, this Sha Dacheng is the third, Sha Dacheng has some connections in Fujian Yuegang, if you count the strength over there, it is not possible to be a few points stronger than Gu Laohu."

Wang Tong was silent again, and after a while, he sneered a few times and said in a deep voice:

"Let's beat Gu Laohu, if we fight this Sha Dacheng again, wouldn't he be the only one on the sea, this Shen Yuan thinks about everything, borrow a knife to kill people and sell it to our side."

"The adult said well, Shen Vain is not only ruthless at sea, but also quite commendable, this matter does have the possibility of using the adult's side, but the small one also heard that Shen Vain squeezed the other guys too hard, his family has many big ships, and the north and south of the ocean are transported with their own ships, and they have opened a few businesses in Tianjin Wei and Jiangnan, but the fat flowing oil is good but others can only honestly share the water money, everyone is red-eyed, dozens of boats of young people dare not move, several big hearts are dissatisfied, this Sha Dacheng really has this action, It's not impossible. ”

Hearing this, Wang Tong was also a little puzzled and asked:

"Tianjin Wei goes everywhere, there shouldn't be enough ships to pull goods, why doesn't Sha Dacheng's ship come?"

Wang Tong's attention to shipping is only two good things, one is the construction of ships, the other is whether the merchant ships coming and going to Tianjin Wei are safe, and the rest of the things will not be too concerned, after all, there are thousands of things, and he can only grasp the most important thing. Hearing him ask, Tang Shan had a smile on his face, and then felt that something was wrong, and explained with a dry cough:

"My lord, why can Shen Vao's ship be able to take over in our Tianjin Wei, Shen Vain can also do business with the merchants, because the merchants are at ease with him, because Shen Vao's business and ship are guaranteed by the insurance bank, and there is an insurance line as a guarantee, everyone is at ease, not to mention that Shen Vao showed that he is the owner of the insurance company, it is a golden signboard, the ship is at sea, no one dares to guarantee anything, a trip by the wind and waves pirates, it is a heavy loss, but there is an insurance bank guarantee, then the heart is delegated to three points, and in private Shen Vain shows his own identity, which is even more reassuring."

“…… I really didn't expect ......."

"That Sha Dacheng can't even touch the door of the insurance company, let alone Shen Huan's side, he will definitely have to pinch his neck here, what kind of work can be received by the merchant there, even if the goods are transported from the south and the country, no one dares to buy it."

Tang Shan talked a lot, and he also talked about it, but Wang Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Tang Shan also stopped over there and asked:

"My lord, beating Sha Dacheng is to make this Shen vain as a wedding coat poison, let's not fight?"

"Sha Dacheng is the same thing, the official is more concerned about this iron gate, Tangshan, do you remember the private port of Tangjiahe?"

"Why don't you remember, the villain was caught by an adult over there, speaking of which, this is also a small wealth coming, and now I often dream of good ......"

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, and then said in a solemn voice:

"Tangjiahe can't be here, this iron gate can't be here, Tianjin Weigang is north and south, and there can't be any commercial port."

Just then, someone outside shouted:

"My lord, a holy decree has arrived......
