Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Jiangdong Family

The players of the Yangtze River business are very sad, the huge and carefully prepared blocking position, inexplicably hit a surprise attack, the scene is really ugly, it is simply a one-sided slaughter, the famous Yangtze River business, was cleaned up by the black cavalry who has been in the limelight recently, and at the same time, the other party gave a good lesson, and really realized what war is.

In the courtyard of an inn in Shitai County, the gray-haired old man and the tall and fat man who liked to wear armor looked at the increasing pigeon letters in their hands, and their expressions were completely different.

"Bastard! How this battle was fought! It was actually beaten into a one-sided slaughter. ”

"Well, that's normal."

"What?" The tall and fat stared at the gray hair dissatisfied, but the old soldier didn't care at all, and the so-called momentum of the tall and fat could bluff the child.

"I said, this result is normal, the moment the other side launches a surprise attack, the victory or defeat of this battle has already been decided, no, it should be the moment we decide to be the enemy, we are already doomed."

Hua Baihu flicked the note in his hand, and the old god said that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, not to mention that this is a game, you can't die, and what you lose is just money.

The tall and fat fox looked at the veteran oil suspiciously, although he likes to study the military, and he is also known as a senior military fan, but he is essentially a businessman, in his opinion, war or something, is just another form of business, so he did not find that there will be many factors that will not be considered in the business field at all in the war, such as the soldier's mentality, the general's character, morale, spirit, etc.

"You're saying that our mission was a mistake from the start?"

"Yes, militarily speaking, from the beginning, we made a mistake and took the task without knowing the strength of the other party, or rather, we took it for granted that the strength of the other party, of course, in this case, the mistake is more serious."

"Ugh! We really didn't know that our opponent was the famous Black Cavalry. ”

"Actually, after this sneak attack, I realized what our troops lacked, which is a good thing."

"What's missing? Powerful cavalry? ”

"No, there is a lack of seriousness, a serious attitude of treating every battle as a life-and-death battle1

"Attitude?"

"Yes, attitude, with this attitude, the other party can wrap the horse's hooves with felt cloth to cover up the traces, with this attitude, the other party can endure a surprise attack in the middle of the night, with this attitude, the other party dares to use a small number of cavalry to impact ten times their infantry battle formation, with this attitude, they will fight stronger and stronger, and on the contrary, we, sooner or later, will be drowned in the torrent of the player's rise."

“”

"Yes, mentality! Fundamentally speaking, we win in mentality, and Inhumans come to us with a game attitude, so they will be contemptuous, casual, and indifferent, and every battle we fight is a life-and-death battle, so we win in a serious attitude1

Fang Zhiwen slowly explained to Zhou Tai the before and after of this raid, and even taught him more things outside the battlefield, such a good seedling is definitely not wasted.

Zhou Tai began to follow Fang Zhiwen, and he may be a little reluctant, although his uncle has always thought that following Fang Zhiwen is a good way out, but the arrogant Zhou Tai has always been a little nostalgic for Fang Zhiwen, but as he has been in contact with Fang Zhiwen and Xiangxiang and others, Zhou Tai's views on the lord have become more and more different, and his loyalty has naturally risen.

Zhou Tai found that the lord is very talkative, in addition to being very strict on the battlefield, he is usually very peaceful, he can ask any questions he has, even if he does something wrong or says something wrong, he will rarely be blamed, most of the time the lord will directly point out where he is wrong, why he is wrong, as for how to do it, but only let himself think, will not tell himself directly.

The lord is also very diligent, and he insists on practicing martial arts every day, even in the interval between battles, and the generals who follow the lord are the same, even in Zhou Tai's eyes, the soft fragrance is not lagging behind, which makes Zhou Tai very convinced, even if he is an uncle who lives a life of licking blood with a knife head, he is not as diligent as the lord.

The lord is very smart, and the way of looking at things is also a little different, and he can always see a lot of differences from the essence of things, just think about the raid battle just discussed, Zhou Tai is still thinking about the gap in the combat power of the two sides, but the lord has already explained the source of these gaps from the root, this is the difference between being the lord.

Under the influence of Fang Zhiwen, now Zhou Tai is working hard to train riding and archery, this child who has lived on the boat since he was a child, can finally sit on horseback and shoot arrows, when Fang Zhiwen saw this scene, he couldn't help but be a little in a trance, will the seedlings of this naval general become a cavalry general in the end? Or develop a new class of troops such as the Navy Cavalry Clan?!

Of course, what makes Fang Zhiwen even happier is that Zhou Tai began to think diligently, which is the key to a person's growth, and there may be Xiangxiang's credit in this, because when Xiangxiang talks to Zhou Tai, he always puts the word 'stupid' on his lips, which makes Zhou Tai, who is older than Xiangxiang and a big man, very unhappy, he must write on his head. The hat of the stupid word was taken off, so Zhou Tai exerted the spirit of not being ashamed to ask, not only seizing the opportunity to ask Fang Zhiwen for advice, but also other generals and knowledgeable Shi A, who was also the object of his questioning. Therefore, Zhou Tai's overall view and strategic and tactical level are improving rapidly, and he has entered a period of rapid growth.

In addition to paying close attention to Zhou Tai, Fang Zhiwen also found that his little sister was a little strange in the past two days, and seemed to like to talk to that Zhen Ergongzi very much, could it be because this Zhen Ergongzi had some female appearances, so he replaced the position of a same-sex friend who Xiangxiang lacked very much? !

Although it was a little strange, Fang Zhiwen didn't stop it, whatever his sister likes to do, as long as there is no danger, Fang Zhiwen will not interfere.

In the early hours of this morning, Fang Zhiwen led the army to break the blocking force of the Yangtze River commerce and opened the road to Shitai County, and then the caravan of the Zhen family and the people of Huangyazhai quickly entered the safe area of Shitai County, and Fang Zhiwen came to prepare to say goodbye to Zhen Ergongzi and his party here, but he didn't expect that what Zhen Ergongzi said the day before yesterday was not polite words, but really wanted to follow Fang Zhiwen to the north.

Since it has been said, Fang Zhiwen can't go back, so Zhen Ergongzi took a few entourages, as well as Zhu Qigongzi, who was like a rubber plaster, to join Fang Zhiwen's cavalry action, because Fang Zhiwen wanted to avoid the sight of ordinary players, so he walked on the mountain trails, which made some Zhen Ergongzi, who looked a little sick, and the handsome little servant beside him suffer enough, and even Zhu Qigongzi, who seemed to be strong and powerful, also complained.

Fortunately, this is a hilly and water-network area, and the roads extend in all directions, although occasionally you will encounter players or bandit troops, but for this strong cavalry team, it is not a problem, but players can still dodge, and if they can't dodge, they will be driven away by Shi Ah with a group of dismounted cavalry pretending to be bandits, and the road will be peaceful.

In early summer, the sun at noon was already very hot, and the group hid in the shade of the mountain forest to rest, and in the surrounding forests, all kinds of birds and insects chirped one after another, which made Fang Zhiwen feel like a world away, I remember that when I was in the novice village, there were no insects and birds in the forest except for the plants that were so delicate that they were close to the real thing, and now, this place is almost the same as the real world, but Fang Zhiwen stubbornly determined that these are just sounds, and there must be no physical objects.

Fang Zhiwen looked up at Zhu Qigongzi, who was pouring water hard, and Zhen Ergongzi, who was drinking water very much, these two families looked very different!

"Zhen Gongzi, will your caravan come to Jiangdong to make a living, will there be a conflict with the locals?" Fang Zhiwen suddenly asked, along the way, Fang Zhiwen occasionally asked some things that he was interested in, of course, now everyone's friendship is not deep, and they will not ask any particularly in-depth questions, just some small questions that Fang Zhiwen feels curious.

For example, in Fang Zhiwen's memory, the Wu State in the Three Kingdoms is a defeated family in the Three Kingdoms, and the power of the family in Jiangdong is very strong, and this kind of toughness has even continued until the Wei and Jin dynasties and even the Sui and Tang dynasties, so Fang Zhiwen is still a little curious about the Zhen family's ability to stretch their hands and feet to Jiangdong.

Zhen Ergongzi glanced at Fang Zhiwen curiously, for Fang Zhiwen from time to time to break out a few strange questions, Zhen Ergongzi has gradually become accustomed to it, and glanced at Zhu Qigongzi on the side, hesitated for a moment and said: "It will indeed be a little inconvenient, the Jiangdong region is more resistant to foreign forces, but businessmen, isn't it just to communicate with each other, there are many things, such as bamboo, lacquer and porcelain, etc., are all in the Jiangdong family, we can be regarded as equivalent exchanges." ”

Although Zhen Ergongzi is not very old, he is very smart and very good at talking, although his answer is simple and fair, but it also contains a very rich connotation, depending on whether the listener can hear it.

First of all, he recognized the strong position of the Jiangdong family, and also admitted that many outsiders could not show themselves in Jiangdong, and were even strongly suppressed, and even the Zhen family, a giant businessman from Jizhou, would feel inconvenient in Jiangdong, so you can imagine the situation of other traders and forces.

Secondly, he mentioned that there is no exchange, that is to say, this is the exchange at the family level, and even there are detailed exchange provisions in it, don't underestimate the ancient merchants, maybe they do not have a complete set of economic theories handed down, but in each business family, there is its own unique economic theory, for the core of commercial exchanges, the merchants of this era have been able to accurately grasp it, so the final 'equivalent exchange' shows that the basis of cooperation between the two sides is the trade balance.

Also, the so-called 'bamboo, lacquer and porcelain' are all civilian items, and even these things are manipulated by the family, so what about strategic materials, grain, oil, salt, weapons, large livestock, etc., you don't need to think about it, these things are manipulated in the hands of the family, compared to the serious situation of land annexation in the north, the Jiangdong region is simply the land opened up by the family, and the land and population were originally in the hands of the family, and in this era, With the land there is everything.

Although it is a game, there is no doubt that the brain still follows the rules of the agricultural economy of this era.

In other words, Zhen Ergongzi's short sentence is to tell Fang Zhiwen that Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of the family.
