East Factory Governor

Chapter 34
Caobang Qingwu sub-helm Dafengtang has nine wharves under its jurisdiction, among which Sandaokou Wharf and Qingwu Wharf are the closest to Qingwu Town, and these two are large wharves with a huge annual throughput, accounting for the Caobang Qingwu Town sub-helm More than [-]% of the annual income, the Jianghe gang has long coveted.Previously, the two sides were evenly matched and were waiting for an opportunity. No one dared to start a war easily.Now that the head of the Great Wind Hall is dead, it is a great opportunity for the Jianghe Gang to attack the Cao Gang!
The Jianghe gang had already ordered that all the gates should be guarded by Ge Dan, and they could attack as soon as they had the opportunity, leaving no room for the Cao gang to turn back.For the wharf captured by any Tangkou, the pier will be distributed to that Tangkou for independent operation. It only needs to pay [-]% of the regular money to the gang every year, and the rest will belong to this Tangkou.

The temptation is immense.Before that, several Tangkou tried to attack Caobang's wharf, but they all returned in vain, and lost many brothers instead.So after a while of small-scale conflicts, the two sides are now at a stalemate with each other, waiting for the emergence of new opportunities.

And this is also one of the reasons why the Qingwu sub-helm of the Cao Gang sent Yun Qifeng to try to cause civil strife in Qinglongtang by framing it.Their calculation is that as long as Qiu Dali, the incense master of Qinglongtang, is involved in this murder case involving his disciple Qin Shuhuai, then Qinglongtang will inevitably be in chaos, and the Cao Gang can take advantage of the situation to defeat Qinglongtang in one fell swoop, and then start a full-scale war. Annihilate the Jianghe Gang's influence in Qingwu Town in one fell swoop.Qingwu Town is where the main rudder of the Jianghe Gang is located. If it can be wiped out, the remaining eight sub-rudders of the Jianghe Gang will be much easier to deal with.

Of course, the Cao Gang has not regarded the Jianghe Gang as a real opponent until now.Otherwise, they would concentrate their entire gang and wipe out the Jianghe Gang with ease.Fortunately, the Cao Gang is not the only opponent of the Jianghe Gang at present. They face countless competitors all over the country. Among other things, the Giant Whale Gang is second only to the Cao Gang. Expanding to the inland water system, the Cao Gang concentrated most of their energy in order to prevent them. How could they have so much energy left to deal with the little-known Jianghe Gang?
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, capitalism sprouted, and commodities and products were greatly enriched, which led to an increasing demand for transportation.In the context of the lack of horses, water transport has naturally become the main force. One can imagine how big this cake is?The Cao Gang wants to monopolize water transportation in this empire, so the challenges it faces are naturally enormous!
And this is the Jianghe gang's opportunity.It can be said that Chongzhen created the Jianghe Gang with water transportation as its main business, with extremely vicious vision.On the one hand, the rivalry between the leader of Water Transport, the Cao Gang, and the second largest Whale Gang, gave the Jianghe Gang room to grow bigger, and it is more likely to become a big gang than any other gang in any industry.On the other hand, once the Jianghe Gang grows bigger, it will not only represent the imperial court to gain the right to speak in the martial arts world, but also control water transportation on behalf of the imperial court. This year's income will undoubtedly surpass the millions of taels of tax that the imperial court receives every year. !

This is also the reason why Qin Shuhuai did not dare to underestimate Chongzhen.Judging from what he has mastered, this young man is not a king of subjugation, and it is not too much to say that he has great talents.

Closer to home.

It is said that Qiu Dali rushed back to the Qinglong Hall with everyone, and asked Qin Shuhuai to immediately recruit A, B, and C, a total of more than 120 people, to stand by in the martial arts arena.On the other hand, he ran to the Dharma Hall and applied to the Dharma Protector Lin Tianyuan for permission to attack Caobang Sandaokou and Qingwu Wharf.As soon as Lin Tianyuan heard that Dafengtang's chess style was dead, he knew that the opportunity must not be missed, and immediately approved Qinglongtang's expedition.

Qiu Dali immediately returned to the martial arts arena, and gave some training to his opponents, which made the blood of a hundred or so people boil.Then these people were divided into two groups. One group was led by Qin Shuhuai. The group was dominated by Jia Fan, and at the same time, 20 people were added from C Zi Fan, making a total of 65 people.The other group was led by Qiu Dali himself. The main force was Yizifan, and there were more than ten people from Bingzifan, a total of 55 people.Qin Shuhuai was in charge of attacking Sandaokou Wharf, while Qiu Dali was in charge of attacking Qingwu Wharf, which was stronger and the largest wharf near Qingwu Town.After the distribution was done properly, the team left the gate of the main helm in a mighty way.

The helpers at the other halls of the chief rudder saw this situation and knew that something serious had happened, so they immediately ran back to report to their respective incense masters.But without waiting for their reports, the incense masters of the Suzaku, Baihu, and Xuanwu halls have all been summoned to the Juyi hall by the right protector Lin Tianyuan. Lin Tianyuan told the news that the Qinglong hall is planning to attack the two large piers under the Dafeng hall of the Cao Gang. Lord, and then asked all churches to respond immediately and keep an eye on the other piers of Caobang.If there is an opportunity, wait for the opportunity to hide.Especially for the wharves that are relatively close to Sandaokou Wharf and Qingwu Wharf, once it is discovered that the Cao Gang gang members stationed at these wharves are going to reinforce them, they will immediately launch an attack.

When the incense masters heard this, their eyes turned red instantly.After holding back for so long, I finally found my chance!What's the purpose of messing around?Isn't it just for money?Now there are only one or two small piers under the name of each hall, and there is only a little income every year, and [-]% of it has to be handed over to the gang.Which port does not want to capture a few piers from the Cao Gang?It has the right to operate independently, and it only needs to be handed over to the second member of the gang every year, and the rest of the real money can be counted as your own!Brothers can live a good life only if they have money in their hands, right?Now Qinglongtang has the upper hand, if they capture the two big piers, but they don't get anything, then the brothers under him will scold themselves as incompetent when they see the people in Qinglongtang eating and drinking hot food?If things go on like this, who will listen to me?
After the meeting, the incense masters of each hall immediately counted the people and horses without saying a word, and rushed to the major piers of the Cao Gang.These incense masters are also good, knowing that Dafengtang's current strength is the weakest, so they deployed the main force to the wharf under the jurisdiction of Dafengtang. Except for the Sandaokou Wharf and Qingwu Wharf that Qiu Dali wanted to attack, the other seven wharves were instantly taken over by the various halls. Divided up!

Lin Tianyuan, the right protector, was not idle either. On the one hand, he immediately sent someone to report to Wei Huaizong, the left protector. On the one hand, ready to support at any time!

He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make it happen overnight and fight the Cao Gang in advance!

Lin Tianyuan was excited and nervous at the moment.These days, the boss has been urging him to seize the Cao Gang's territory as soon as possible, but he tried to launch several attacks but failed. It is said that both the gang leader and the lord are very displeased by this.I didn't expect this opportunity to come so suddenly, so unexpectedly.

This kind of opportunity is fleeting, if I miss it, this right protector will be done!
Once the battle starts, there will be no end to death!This time I am definitely not as simple as grabbing a few piers and stabbing the Cao Gang a few times!The outcome depends on this move!

The machine at the helm of the Jianghe Gang is finally in full operation, and a battle to determine the ownership of more than [-] docks in and around Qingwu Town and even the strength comparison between the Jianghe Gang and the Cao Gang in Qingwu Town is about to start!

In the face of all this, the Cao Gang is still completely ignorant!
