Chapter 784: The truth of the night calamity

Mouping

Tongsheng Inn

Peter smiled and paced back and forth, with a sense of pride on his face. He was very happy because he had gained a lot in Yang Shunhui's mansion today. Although Yang Shunhui did not agree, the fleeting greed in his eyes was still keenly captured by Peter. Moreover, he was not only happy because he saw the greed in Yang Shunhui's eyes.

It seems that he is about thirty years old, has a strong figure, no beard, and has a tough face. Such a man is a very iconic handsome man in the world across the ocean, and even in the Central Plains, he looks more pleasing to those bearded foreigners.

"It seems that there should be no obstacles in this matter."

Peter smiled and sat down in the chair.

When he was in the General's Mansion, the foreigner who looked about fifty years old who had been standing behind him like a servant, smiled and said with apologies: "It should be true that although Yang Shun would have a high title in the Great Sui Dynasty, the gold coins that could fill ten boxes were enough to make anyone feel greedy in his heart. As long as a person feels greedy in his heart, he will grow wildly like weeds after the rain."

"I'm not happy about this."

Peter shook his head: "You only see what is on the surface, and I see deeper... I see this giant dragon called the Great Sui Dynasty is about to end. The powerful empire described by the people of Dongchu has now become corrupt to the point of almost dead, emitting a rotten odor, but I like it very much."

"Why did you make such a judgment?"

The old servant asked.

"I asked the people of Dongchu that the emperor of Sui State, just like the emperor of my Oplu Empire, had supreme authority and no one could resist. If the people of Dongchu did not lie, then the performance of Yang Shunhui today is enough to show that this empire has come to an end."

"If the Sui Kingdom is really strong, the emperor of the Sui Kingdom really has supreme power, and the army of the Sui Kingdom is really proud and wins every battle, then I would not see such a situation today. Yang Shun would indeed hesitate. No matter whether he was greedy for the gold or not, I did not see fear in his eyes. If the Sui Kingdom's emperor still maintained his majesty and maintained an unquestionable position of power, then even if Yang Shun had the courage to accept my gold coins, there would be fear in his eyes."

"He didn't! There was only greed and hesitation in his eyes. This shows that even if he agreed to establish a trade relationship with the Sui State, he had nothing to be afraid of. If the Sui State was still strong and the rule of the royal family was as stable as a rock, then would he have such courage? His performance is enough to show that he has the right to decide on this matter and does not need to report it to the emperor of the Sui State to know, then it means that this person has lost his awe of the royal family of the Sui State."

"It can be seen from this that the Sui Kingdom was really in chaos."

He spoke a little fast, and his words were filled with unconcealed excitement.

"yes"

The old servant sighed: "Why didn't I see this? So... I can only follow you and follow your instructions to do things without making mistakes."

"Ha ha"

Peter smiled and said, "As long as Yang Shun agrees to open the coastal ports, the news can be sent back. Once this matter is successful, there is no need for the Eastern Chu State to exist."

"So urgent?"

The old servant said with some concern: "If you are in a hurry to start a war against Dong Chu, will you send troops to help once Sui State learn the news? After all, Dong Chu and Sui State are adjacent, Sui State will not watch Dong Chu be destroyed."

"No, no, no"

Peter shook his head: "As long as Yang Shun nods, no matter what happens in Dong Chu, the Sui Kingdom will not interfere, because as long as Yang Shun dares to nod, it means that the control of the Sui Kingdom's royal family is already very low, and then this is not a terrible country. A country without the direction of leaders, even if it looks huge, it doesn't matter. It's just bloated, not strong..."

"And, in my opinion, even if the empire launches troops against Dong Chu, the first thing the Sui people should do is not to send troops to help Dong Chu defend the enemy, but to immediately send troops to rob all the Dong Chu merchants in the Great Sui Dynasty, and even leave a piece of pants for them. The Dong Chu merchants held huge wealth in their hands. For Yang Shunhui, they could not resist the gold in ten boxes of gold, and could not resist the wealth in the hands of those Dong Chu men."

"With this wealth, Yang Shunhui can expand his army and make him stronger, because he desires to become stronger. Only strong can he participate in this game called "Working for the World". There is no doubt that when a powerful country suddenly becomes chaotic, those who have the opportunity to become the next emperor will not give up easily. Although Yang Shunhui is already quite old, the temptation of being an emperor is the greater the desire for the older people..."

“You are right”

The old servant bowed his head and said, "Then, I will send someone to the General's Mansion tomorrow to ask?"

"No hurry"

Peter said: "If we act too anxiously, then Yang Shun will think we have problems. Even if he will agree in the end, he is afraid that he will have to go more. I don't have to worry about the General's Mansion tomorrow, but I should send someone to find out the whereabouts of those damn lowly Ross people."

The old servant bowed his head and said, "I will send someone to investigate secretly tomorrow morning. After all, the people of Dongchu still have a cooperative relationship with us now. Those Ross who are like wild dogs without a home will not get more friendship than us... Although there is only the Principality of the Curence and no Ross, those Ross people obviously did not give up their resistance... In order to obtain wealth, the Ross rebels should also contact the people of Dongchu and obtain wealth through business."

"Um"

Peter nodded: "The biggest gain of coming this time is to see the truth of the Sui Kingdom. I will send someone back to the Principality of Curence tomorrow morning to make the army ready to attack at any time. As long as the Sui people do not send troops, it will not be difficult for the imperial army to capture Dongchu. Although Dongchu has a seemingly powerful navy, they don't know how to exert the power of warships... The warship armed by crossbows and bows is at most a hedgehog, which makes the enemy feel a little tricky."

"And our warships are equipped with cannons, which can defeat them like an elephant trampling on a mouse to death. Dong Chu is too rich. If all the gold in this country is concentrated, it should be as high as the Misty Mountain."

“The most important thing is…”

The old servant smiled and said, "The territory of the empire has become larger."

“It will be bigger.”

Peter smiled but extremely firmly and said: "Everyone from the Oplu Empire knows very well that the expansion of the empire will only stop under one situation...that is... the whole world has been completely occupied by the Oplu Empire, and no enemy will ever own a piece of land as big as a foot."

The old servant bowed his head: "You are right, the Oplu Empire will surely become the only country in the world."

"Go and check the movements of the Ross rebels. If they were also doing business with the Sui people, they would definitely be in Mouping. Give the Dongchu people some benefits and they will get the answer soon. Those benefits will also be brought back soon."

Peter waved his hand: "You go down, I'm very happy today, so I plan to have a good sleep and wait for good news tomorrow."

...

...

late at night

In the town fifteen miles west of Mouping City, a team of about 200 people was stationed here. This was a caravan that had just purchased all the goods from Mouping City and returned with a full load. I don’t know why they left the city so anxiously, and came out in a hurry before the city gate was closed, and then rushed fifteen miles away and stopped in the town.

This is against common sense. With so much cargo, he hurried out of the city to get a fifteen-mile road?

However, because there are too many vendors coming and going in Mouping City, no one will pay attention to them. As long as you pay enough taxes, the soldiers guarding the gate will not conduct too strict inspections. If they give them some money, they will not even have to check them out and let them go directly.

On one side of the town is the official road. In the ditch east of the official road, a head slowly poked out from the thick grass and looked at the town.

"Divid three groups, be careful and clean up the secret whistle."

The man retracted his body and ordered.

"Team leader, don't worry!"

His men nodded and took three groups of masters to touch the town under the cover of night. The person who ordered was Zuo Mingchan, the regiment leader of the Knight School.

"After the secret whistle cleared over there, the remaining people were divided into four teams and entered the town from four directions. There were about 2230 people on the other side. I observed it during the day. Among them, there were more than 20 coachmen, most of whom could not be skilled in martial arts. The remaining people were sure that they were all military, otherwise they would not be so wary. We have a small number of people, but we are more proficient in night fighting. At the beginning, we tried not to disturb the people inside. It was too close to Mouping. It only took half an hour to get the cavalry from assembled to coming here. Most of them were not used on the road. One word, hurry up!"

"Here!"

The people from the Knight School and the masters who are in the world responded, and then scattered under the leadership of the leaders of each team.

Perhaps it was because I didn't expect that someone would be targeted after leaving Muping, so although the caravan was heavily guarded, it was still a little careless. Especially the secret whistles, which were not set up. Therefore, the people in the Knight School did not spend much time cleaning these secret whistles, and the only thing left was fighting.

Zuo Mingchan brought all the elites. The people from the Knights School were best at assassination. In the darkness, they were like wild beasts, swallowing the patrol team of the caravans one by one. They were not discovered until they were approaching the caravan camp, but it was too late at this time.

What is most surprising is that in the end, the people in this caravan did not set fires to warn! As long as the fire lights came together, the people from Mouping would definitely find it. Then the people from the cavalry were sure that most of the members of this caravan were well-trained soldiers. They did not shout, fought silently, and did not defeat even at a disadvantage. They had been resisting and even organized two very threatening counterattacks.

Perhaps in order to hide their identity, their equipment was far inferior to those of the Knights. In about half an hour, the battle ended. More than 200 people in the caravan were killed, and more than 60 were left left by the Knights' people using crossbows to control them, and stopped resisting at the command of the leader.

"I don't care whether you are from the government or the robbers from where you came from. You did this wrong today. You offended people you can't afford to offend. If you retreat now, you may still have a chance to survive."

The leader of the caravan remained arrogant after being captured. His body was pulled straight when he spoke, so he could more confirm his identity.

Zuo Mingchan was too lazy to pay attention to him, because no matter who the master behind the caravan was, Zuo Mingchan was not worried about how powerful or terrible it was, because these people would never think that the people who robbed them were from the Black Flag Army.

"Oh shit!"

When his subordinates cleared the carriage and saw the things hidden inside, Zuo Mingchan's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he subconsciously cursed, his voice trembling a little.

The carriages were filled with messy things, which were collected by the caravan from the Dongchu people at high prices. After the big boxes below were opened, Zuo Mingchan's heart almost stopped beating. He never expected that the caravan had purchased so many goods to hide these things!

This thing is so shocking.

The box was full of muskets.
