Chapter 87: Money Can Make Ghosts Grind
"Of course not," Da Liang, who thought he was already familiar with Joyce, casually found a chair to sit opposite her, then picked up a glass of red wine on the table and drank half of it in one sip before inviting credit: "I just made a great contribution to our Shangjiang City, and Lord Admiral should reward me well." ”
Joyce looked at the wine glass that Da Liang had taken a sip of, picked it up and threw it into the garbage basket next to him: "You have only been away from me for more than half a day, what great credit can you make?" I advise you to leave aside other idle matters, and look for your troop carriers, for no one will be able to save you if they slip out from under your nose. ”
Da Liang smiled: "I have already laid a net on the sea, if I can't find them, I will admit bad luck." Anyway, Feichen Island was robbed, and if you lose it, you may have a headache? I'm going to tell you today something big that you would never have thought of...... Jiading City has waged war against Baoshan City......"
"What!" Hearing the news, Joyce was first startled, and then looked disbelieving: "The Marquis of Stanley in Jiading City is famous for being greedy for money and stingy, and he usually has to pick up a copper plate that falls on the ground and be happy for a long time, how can he waste his troops to fight Baoshan City for no reason?" Don't come to me with the news you hear casually and beg for soldiers, tell you...... I can't give you a single soldier. ”
Da Liang said: "This is not the news I heard casually, I just came from Jiading City, Marquis Stanley has been persuaded by me to prepare for war with the academy faction in Baoshan City, 10,000 walking corpse army is gathering, and I ...... He has been appointed by the Marquis as the commander of this army......"
"Really?"
Joyce had already stood up, he knew that Jiading City's use of troops against Baoshan City meant that the situation in the Shangjiang region had changed greatly, and the situation was developing on the favorable side of Shangjiang City.
Marquis Joshua of Chongming City dared to shout at Shangjiang City, what did he rely on? In addition to his own strong military strength, it is the support of the three vice-cities of the Academic Sect, the Swamp Clan, and the Beast Clan. Now that Jiading City is at war against the academic faction in Baoshan City, one of the three helpers in Chongming City will be abolished, and the external pressure on Shangjiang City will be greatly relieved.
If Da Liang intercepts the Chongming City troops at sea again, then the balance of strength between the two sides will begin to shift towards Shangjiang City.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that Da Liang is not talking nonsense. Although Joyce knew that Da Liang would not talk nonsense on such an important matter, she still asked Da Liang in detail how he prompted Marquis Stanley, the city lord who was least likely to use force, to attack Baoshan City.
"The detailed process ......"
Da Liang knocked on the table, his eyes squinting at the crystal wine bottle in Joyce's hand, the red wine inside was as bright as blood.
Joyce smiled and placed a wine glass in front of Da Liang, then picked up the bottle and poured the red wine into it, the mellow aroma of the wine was heartwarming.
"There are not many people in the entire Shangjiang City who can make Admiral Ben pour wine. Now can you tell me how you persuaded Marquis Stanley to attack Baoshan City? ”
Da Liang drank the red wine boldly, and then unceremoniously put the whole bottle into his package, and then said: "Actually, Marquis Stanley did not directly attack Baoshan City, but was determined to win the dock at the entrance of the stone cave under the jurisdiction of Baoshan City. The vanguard of 10,000 marching corpses has advanced towards the mouth of the stone cave, and the main general is Baron Ben. If all these armies are wiped out, the Marquis of Stanley will lead the main force of Jiading City to continue the attack on the stone cave entrance. As for the reason why the Marquis of Stanley could bleed profusely, it was simply for the money......"
So, Da Liang told Joyce again about the money-making plan he had blown out: "This is 'money can make ghosts grind', Marquis Stanley is ready to fight hard with the academics in Baoshan City in order to get a lot of gold coins in the future, and he will not stop if he does not grab the entrance of the stone cave." Shouldn't we go to Jiangcheng to send troops to respond? After all, you know the financial resources of Jiading City, if you fight hard...... The undead who are short of money may not be the opponent of Baoshan City. ”
By the time Da Liang spoke, Joyce had already spread out a map on the table.
To the northwest of Shangjiang City are Baoshan City and Jiading City, and if the undead of Jiading City want the land of Linjiang, they must grab it from the hands of Baoshan City.
However, Baoshan City is backed by the Yangtze River, and its own financial resources are not much stronger than Jiading City, not only has a powerful ground force, but also a small large-scale offshore fleet that takes into account both river and sea aviation, so it is not easy for the undead to seize a piece of land from Baoshan City.
But if Shangjiang Castle provides military support......
In fact, as long as the army of Shangjiang City assembles at the border with Baoshan City, and at the same time the Pudong Fleet sends another fleet to the interior of the Yangtze River to make a deterrent voyage, Baoshan City must use most of its military strength to deal with the threat from the southeast, then the attack on Jiading City will be much easier.
As for Chongming City's reaction?
As long as Shangjiang City does not directly participate in the war, then this battle is the matter of Jiading City and Baoshan City, if it is not for the danger of Baoshan City, Chongming City will definitely not dare to risk a full-scale war to support Baoshan City.
In other words, it is very feasible to control this battle on a local battlefield and help Jiading City to achieve victory.
As for...... Da Liang lured Marquis Stanley to send troops to the cargo distribution center?
Joyce said: "This is a very ambitious plan, if Jiading City becomes the most important cargo distribution center in the entire Yangtze River basin, the wealth inside will become unimaginable!" So will they become the second Chongming City in the future? ”
As the major shareholder of the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce, Da Liang certainly didn't want to see any obstacles to the establishment of the Jiading Cargo Distribution Center, so he persuaded: "How can Jiading City become the second Chongming City?" You don't know the character of the Marquis of Stanley, he has money...... Is it an expansion? Or do you want to fill your castle with jewels? Moreover, Jiading City is close to Shangjiang City on land, unlike Chongming City, which is lonely and difficult to control overseas. The most important thing is that even if Jiading City wants to rebel, who wants to be an ally with a group of undead? Without support, how can a 10-level city shake the status of Shangjiang City? ”
Regarding Da Liang's analysis, Joyce nodded and said that at this time, if he could win Jiading City to join the camp of Shangjiang City, some monetary benefits could be given to these undead. However, Joyce was still a little worried in his heart: "I came forward to coordinate with Shangjiang Commercial Port, so that the merchant ships that will go to Shangjiang in the future can unload all the goods to Jiading City." It's just that I'm worried that there is less rent in the cargo area at the commercial port, and I may not be willing to ship the goods to other places. Even the Chancellor of the Exchequer wouldn't agree that this is a huge tax. ”
