Iron Dynasty

Mercenary company, what is this?

Early in the morning, a prominent headline in Qingzhou Daily caught the businessmen's ideas.

Since the surrender of the Japanese state and the influx of industrial products from the Great Yu state into the Japanese state, they have not been so excited for a while.

Mercenaries, soldiers who fight for money, trained mercenaries will be able to be hired by anyone and even participate in wars to get rich rewards. From today, merchants will be able to hire these special soldiers to protect their trade overseas , and even hire them to participate in wars for commercial interests. The only taboo is that mercenaries and their employers cannot harm the interests of the Great Yu Kingdom, otherwise they will be regarded as traitors...

In a shop on a commercial street, Dai Zixing read the newspaper just delivered while supervising the cleaning of the bicycles he bought yesterday.

With the popularity of newspapers, newspapers in Qingzhou now have newspaper subscription services. As long as you pay 20 silver dragons a month, you can read newspapers for a month.

This small amount of money is naturally nothing to a big businessman like Dai Zixing. For him, it is really worthwhile to spend only twenty silver dragons to learn about important events in the Great Yu Kingdom.

Unfortunately, this mercenary company probably won't get our hands on it. After reading the newspaper, Dai Zixing picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

Beside him is his nephew Dai Hui. Since his fortune in Qingzhou, the old family members have gone to Qingzhou to defect to him, which made him quickly become the most influential person in the family from an unremarkable figure in the family.

Why? Now, besides the Ding family, the richest people in Qingzhou City are our Dai family? As for Zhu Wuliu, they are still in the heat. Dai Hui looked at the world.

Hui'er, don't talk nonsense about this, otherwise it will make outsiders laugh out loud. Whether it's the Ding family or the Dai family in Qingzhou, it's just a small style. The real rich are the royal relatives who do business with the chamber of commerce. Since the accident in the Cao family, the emperor has obviously relaxed the control of the royal family, and it seems that he has the intention of balancing the power of private merchants, so this mercenary company can never take our turn, it will only be a certain royal family. Dai Zixing put everything See through.

Dai Hui sighed deeply, and he said angrily, If the Merchant Council wins, will our Great Yu Kingdom look different?

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Zixing immediately showed nervousness, glanced left and right, and when he found that there was no one nearby, he said angrily: Hui'er, if you are still so open-mouthed, you will go back to Chang'an next time. What should you say? Now that the Great Yu Kingdom is prosperous, it is not the time for this kind of crooked heresy to run rampant. Today, my uncle will tell you that if the Merchant Council wins, the Great Yu Kingdom will be doomed.

Dai Hui was sweating on his forehead, and he was also quick to speak, but when he came back to his senses, his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Uncle, it's the child's fault. Uncle, please don't drive me back to Chang'an. Next time I won't dare. Dai Hui said hurriedly.

Dai Zixing's breath eased a little, and he recalled that he had left his hometown and came to Qingzhou to seek a life. At that time, he was rushing to the wise and divine martial arts of today's saints.

In fact, the original choice was long ago. Now he is in Qingzhou, earning the first batch of silver from casting cement pipes, and then getting rich reports in supporting the Northern Expedition. Since then, he has had the capital to build everywhere. Factory do business.

It can be said that his brilliance was based on the prosperity of Qingzhou.

Businessmen seek profit, but business also has its own way. Business has no national boundaries, but businessmen have their own monarchs. If there is no strong country, no matter how much money we earn, it will eventually fall into the pockets of others, understand? Dai Zixing taught him a lesson.

Yes, uncle, nephew remembered. Dai Hui respectfully said.

When the two were talking, a voice suddenly came, Brother Dai is very true, the emperor has his own considerations about this mercenary company, and it is for the sake of the long-term stability of the Great Yu Kingdom that this business is not handed over to you and me. Some can be done, some cannot, and this is the way of doing business.”

Hearing this voice, Dai Zixing breathed a sigh of relief. He said, Well, Ding Wu, you have been eavesdropping.

It was Ding Wu who came, and he wondered: I just passed by, I just spoke out because of Brother Dai's high opinion.

Dai Zixing smiled, It doesn't matter if you hear it, the emperor has always known me, Dai, and will not be indiscriminate.

Ding Wu shook his head. He really didn't hear Dai Hui's rebellious words. He said, I'm too lazy to listen to what you have to say. This time I'm here for business in Japan.

Dai Zixing's eyes lit up and he said, Could it be that your business has also suffered setbacks.

That's right, although Yamada Nobunaga has surrendered now, the Japanese territory is not peaceful now, the riots have not subsided, and only a few ports are safe, so the mercenary company came out at the right time, I want to talk to Dai Brother, hire a team of mercenaries and let them protect our caravan in Japan.

That's fine. Dai Zixing nodded slightly. As the saying goes, risk and profit are the same. Now, if you want to seize the Japanese market, you must use some extraordinary means.

...

When Qingzhou was noisy due to mercenaries, Zhu Sansi was not idle. In the vast snowfield, he and two Daur people arrived at a tribe in the forest after a day's trek.

There are only a thousand people in this tribe. They live in tents made of animal skins. Men, women and children are all dressed in fur, and their faces are dark and thin.

When he came, Zhu Sansi had already learned that the middle-aged Daur man was called Guda, and the tribe he led them to this time was officially the tribe where the Daur headman belonged.

General, come out.

After arriving at the outskirts of the tribe, the Daur soldiers in the tribe blocked them from the tribe with bows and arrows and long hair. They have been waiting for the communication between Guda and the headman.

If all goes well, the Daur people will be attached to the Great Yu Country and become the border residents of the Great Yu Country, and they will also get a supply line.

Master Zhu, this is our Phuket headman. He said that as long as you are allied with us, we will believe you. Guda said sternly.

Gao Yingfeng pouted, and Zhu Sansi stopped him just as he wanted to express his disdain for this tribe.

Although the Daur people are small in number, they are very familiar with this place, and they need someone here to provide stable help.

So, he said: Of course, you can use the blood donation of the enemy as a witness.

After all, he had someone bring Vasily over.

Seeing Vasily, the head of Daur showed a satisfied look. He pulled out a short knife and suddenly slashed Vasily's arm.

Then he asked the clan to bring two bowls of wine and drop Vasily's blood donation into the wine.

Zhu Sansi carried another bowl, and the two drank the wine at the same time.
