Chapter 214 Snake Eyes
Chapter 214 Snake Eye
The brief confrontation between Sun Jin and Ye Tao eventually brought Yunzhou a very cost-effective business: 50,000 military horses in two years, including 30,000 third-class horses and 20,000 second-class horses, and a number of first-class horses and special-class horses. At the same time, the Ye Family Workshop will design a new type of cavalry armor according to the body shape and combat needs of the Chunnan cavalry. After the design is finalized, the Chunnan guarantees that the Ye Family Workshop will not be less than 10,000 sets of orders.
In fact, the so-called order quantity of no less than 10,000 sets is optional. Ye Tao has to consider the possibility of producing armor on Chunnan to reduce costs. However, after seeing the cavalry armor of the Blood Qi Army and the quality and craftsmanship of the new lightweight cavalry armor of the tribal cavalry around Ye Tao, Sun Jin was already very aware of it: Chunnan could not create the same quality in five years. Even if he could barely make it himself, the price would be higher than buying it from Dongping.
In addition, there is a secret agreement, that is, Yunzhou will send a small number of cavalry officers to train an elite cavalry in the fief of Juxianwang, with a number of about 5,000 people. This clause will be implemented after Ye Tao obtains the consent of the king Tan Xiaopei. Suddenly, such an opportunity that can allow Dongping to directly intervene in the military construction of Chunnan is because Juxianwang Chang Hongquan's sense of crisis is getting stronger and stronger. In the final analysis, it is because Chunnan is still the case.
The son and grandson of the king were too useless, but the grandson of the wise king Chang Hongquan was very clever since childhood, which made Chunnan’s prince already have a crisis of whether he would be usurped the throne in the future... Chang Hongquan is not such an ambitious person, but in terms of self-protection, he will not sit still and wait for death. In the long run, if his son and grandson have the heart in the future, or the situation in Chunnan is so decayed that he has to usurp the throne, it would be very beneficial to have a strong army in his hands.
After discussing these things in less than a day, they led Sun Jin and Chang Huaiyin to visit the Gray Yan Winery. They set out on the way to Ningyuan together.
Ningyuan City is full of auspicious and festive pictures. If you can look down from above, you may even feel that the whole city is red.
People gathered in Ningyuan City, waiting for Ye Tao and Dai Yundi's wedding from all directions. Especially the Blood Qi Army, in addition to leaving the minimum rotating officers in Danyang, almost the entire Blood Qi Army's officers' regiment has arrived. Those who have graduated from the Blood Qi Army and are now in the Imperial Army or the defense force in various cities, or have left military positions, almost all have come. Lu Dan, who was appointed as the governor of Yicheng, was unable to escape because he was appointed as the governor of Yicheng, also asked his wife Huang Wan to come on behalf of himself. The Taiwei Chi Xianping came on behalf of the court and the king to watch the gifts, and his son Chi Yun came on behalf of the Imperial Army... The high level of military figures, deep qualifications and great potential, were shocking.
Ye Tao was surprised when Mr. Qi Zhentao was able to come. Mr. Qi was very busy now. There were so many things in Qihai Trading Company. When he went back and forth, he felt very afraid of people when he thought about it. When Ye Tao asked Mr. Qi carefully if he had something to help him solve it himself, he was also scolded by Mr. Qi for a while, saying that he looked down on their friendship for many years. Faced with such a generous person as Mr. Qi, Ye Tao felt better easily.
Many friends, subordinates and collaborators also came to Yunzhou in person. Even those who could not come to the land for various reasons, they sent envoys and gifts. The most worth mentioning was the crown prince Tan Weiming. Since Tan Weiran was already in Yunzhou, he had to work obediently in Danyang, so he had to send envoys and send gifts to him with grievances.
If the ceremony is grand, this wedding may not be as good as the wedding of Ye Tao and Tan Weixin. But in terms of liveliness, it is no less than the wedding held at Jiangshan Fort. Perhaps the weather is indeed a bit cold, and everyone is working hard to make noise and noisy to get warm, making it more and more lively. A few days before the wedding, when guests from all walks of life almost arrived, the population of Ningyuan City was nearly 30% higher than that of normal times. Only less than 2,000 people were truly qualified to attend the wedding banquet. But they couldn't resist these people with status and status.
The deployment, guards, relatives and friends who came to join in the fun, etc. Thanks to the fact that Dai and Ye were very prescient in booking all the hotels in the city, and many guests were in Ningyuan and invited close friends to live in their own courtyards, which allowed the entire huge resettlement work to be carried out. In any case, Ye Tao and Dai Yun, two people-oriented weddings in Dongping and even in the entire Middle-earth continent, were really unsatisfied.
In order to prepare for such a wedding, there are naturally a large number of ordinary workers and civilians, and there are also merchants who provide all kinds of goods. At this moment, among the many merchants in Ningyuan, one of them performed a little abnormal. This Dongping merchant named Xia Bin made a lot of money in preparation for this wedding banquet. He tinkered with a considerable number of top-quality silks in Chunnan to Yunzhou, and as a result, the entire batch of goods was taken away by the Dai family, and regardless of the work, he devoted himself to the entire wedding banquet site project.
The middle is bustling, but not tacky at all... The design team established by the veteran Dai family and Ye Tao in Yunzhou cooperated tacitly to decorate the entire wedding banquet scene very well. For businessman Xia Bin, although top-notch silk is used to tie into silk flowers, make exquisite jewelry, and cut into tablecloths and napkins seems very luxurious, but the results of Xia Bin's run-in this time are comparable to the usual two or three trips to Yunzhou. If you make a business line with the Dai family, it will be even more beneficial to your future business.
However, at this moment, Xia Bin bowed slightly respectfully and even a little afraid, sweating all over his head, and faced a smiling young man with a smile. The young man comfortably placed himself on the Taishi chair, leaned on his side, holding a cup of good green tea in his hand. He said to Xia Bin in an extremely indifferent tone: "Where is your seat at the wedding banquet?"
Xia Bin bent his waist lower, and he said carefully: "It is the 42nd seat in the field. The deskmates should be all businessmen, and they are not important roles."
The young man shook his head and sighed, "That's the case. No matter how much Ye Tao emphasizes business, he must first consider the aristocratic families and civil and military officials in this occasion. And you are not an amazing role after all. If the materials prepared this time were not suitable for use, I'm afraid they would have been sent out to Ningyuan to move the seats for others, not to mention that they can have a seat in the outer field. Forty-two seats in the outer field... Hehe, it will be difficult to deal with now."
This young man was Sun Xiaofan, the leader of the young generation of Daomingzong who escaped from Danyang after the failure of the skyscraper blasting case. His layout in Danyang was not successful, but instead exposed the series of layouts of Daomingzong and Yingtang in Danyang. Even finally prompted Tan Xiaopei to make up his mind to clean up the secret lines of Daomingzong around Lianfei Chang Ling. This is also one of the highest-level secret lines set up by Daomingzong to date. The great damage made the senior officials of Daomingzong quarrel over how to deal with Sun Xiaofan. Although Sun Xiaofan is a disciple of the current leader of the Daomingzong, he did deeply damage the interests of Daomingzong.
However, after all, Emperor Daomingzong was not a religious organization with a strict organizational system, and the damage suffered by Yingtang, an entity affiliated with Emperor Daomingzong, seemed to be impossible to put it on the surface. On the one hand, it was the sect leader's doting on Sun Xiaofan, and on the other hand, it was a long-term tacit understanding and exchange of interests between a few senior officials of Emperor Daomingzong. Sun Xiaofan was not subject to any substantial punishment in the end, and was only asked to face the wall for half a year.
When Sun Xiaofan started to master some power again after half a year, he found that the Eagle Hall, which had been timid before, did not want to accept him as one of them anymore. Due to the important role of Eagle Hall in Daoming Sect and Sun Xiaofan's previous bad deeds, even the sect leader and the elders of the Daoming Sect expressed their full understanding of Eagle Hall not wanting to accept such a person they were unable to restrain.
On the one hand, it was to allow Sun Xiaofan to fully utilize his ability to conspiracy plans, and on the other hand, it was to establish a powerful combat-capable group affiliated to the Daoming Emperor, which could restrain the Eagle Hall, which belonged to the Daoming Emperor. Sun Xiaofan was ordered to form the "Snake Eye". Sun Xiaofan's starting point was very low. He did not have the martial arts people who were recruited from all aspects of the Eagle Hall, but he was much smaller, but his martial arts and martial arts experience were quite powerful. Some of the guards who had been hidden behind important figures of the Daoming Emperor had become his first subordinates. And he also had an advantage that Eagle Hall could not reach, that is, he could try to recruit those believers from all over the place at will. Although Sun Xiaofan was not the kind of martial arts and feathers who were good at recruiting believers, he only had the ability to follow this.
It is enough for some people to get the list and information of those who can be used. From the Ming side, he grew up in the core of the Daomingzong, a religious organization. He can naturally be extremely inflammatory and persuasive if he really wants to recruit anyone. However, for those who are not willing to join his organization but always have various weaknesses, he naturally has many opportunities to try coercion, deterrence, inducement and other means... Unlike Yingtang, Yingtang's main responsibility is to collect intelligence and defend the Daomingzong's organizational system. The "Snake Eye" has focused on assassination and destruction from the beginning, and spy on targeted business, and technical intelligence is second. This tendency to task does make Sun Xiaofan feel like he is in water.
