Ning Zhe is not worried about the Qiongling battlefield that he is about to cross, because they are not the only transportation team sent by Black Horse Company to Mobei. The previous transportation teams also went very smoothly when crossing Qiongling.

, there is no precedent for being attacked, and among the four teams that were involved in the incident, except for one that was attacked by wild beasts, the remaining three were all caused by bandits, so banditry is the issue that Ning Zhe needs to worry about most.

According to Ning Zhe's previous knowledge, few of the bandits he had seen dared to attack regular transport convoys. Even if some did take the risk, they would choose smaller convoys with only regular security escorts, and dark horses

Although the company's firepower configuration cannot keep up with the chaebol transport team, it is one of the best in Beihuang. It has been successfully attacked three times, which shows that the bandits in Mobei are indeed different.

So, when Ning Zhe heard Jiao Tuzi mention that the gangs in Mobei were different, he sat on a chair on the side: "What's different about the gangs in Mobei? Tell me."

"First of all, it's the scale." Jiao Baldzi was holding a cigarette in his right hand and spinning Buddhist beads in his left hand. He looked a little nondescript: "Mobei is too poor, and its resources are relatively poor. There are only a few good places for planting.

They are all controlled by the Lu family chaebol, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive. They can only continue to dig up the relics of the old world and exchange rations with people from other companies or chaebols. They live a precarious life.

But the strange thing is that the bandits in the Lingnan area live a good life, and they are very large. In this ghost place like Mobei, being a bandit is not a shameful thing. I have seen an entire village become bandits!

Therefore, among the gangs in Mobei, there are less than thirty or fifty people, and there are more than a few hundred people. As for the smaller ones, they are either annexed or destroyed."

Ning Zhe was really surprised by this. When he lived in the refugee area before, he had seen the largest gang, which only had about twenty people: "A gang of several hundred people? Since Mobei is so poor, then they

What do you do to survive?”

"Robbery, although Mobei is poor, there are many relics of the old world buried underground. These things are resources that the major chaebols value very much, so there are many transport teams there to purchase resources. The Mobei gang relies on robbing these

They live in transport teams! Over time, these gangs have rich experience in robbing transport teams."

Ning Zhe frowned: "A group of bandits composed of refugees, relying solely on their numerical advantage, wants to fight against the chaebol's transportation team. Isn't this unrealistic?"

"This is the second difference I want to talk about." Jiao Baldzi scratched his bald head: "The bandits in Mobei are not like the mud-legged ones we robbed at the beginning. Their weapons and equipment are very advanced and they are fully used.

It’s not just bone knives and earthen guns, I’ve even seen gangs equipped with mountain cannons!”

"These bandits have arsenals?" Ning Zhe narrowed his eyes: "How can a group of people who don't even have enough to eat have the strength to forge iron?"

Jiao Baldzi shook his head: "I heard that the equipment of these bandits was given by the chaebol!"

Ning Zhe suddenly understood: "The chaebol is planning to use bandits to rule bandits, right? They want to cultivate a group of bandits for their own use. In this way, they can use these people to eliminate other bandits and keep their own routes open, while also

You can let them rob the transportation teams of other chaebols so that they can obtain the maximum benefits!"

"Yes, that's what it means! At that time, the Lu family had just risen, and they were preparing to unify the Mobei region. At the same time, they integrated the ruins excavation industry, concentrated the materials excavated by the refugees, and then started trade with the other three chaebols. At that time, the people of the Lu family publicized

It is said that this will allow the refugees to earn more money, and they can also increase their influence through control of resources."

Jiao Baldzi put out the cigarette butt in his hand: "This method of using bandits to control bandits was first developed by the Xiahou clan! They provided a large number of weapons, equipment and supplies to the selected gangs! Let them loot the refugees and then attack other plutocrats.

convoy, and then recover the looted materials from the gangs. In this way, the refugees are still poor, but the gangs have become rich.

At that time, the Xiahou family used this method to cultivate many gangs in Mobei. Slowly, the Jing family and the Pei family also participated. They provided a large number of weapons and ammunition, as well as medicine and food to the bandits in Mobei.

, it was obviously just bandits fighting, but in the end it ended up being like an arms race!

In other places, bandits would not be noticed by the chaebols at all. They would not even dare to offend the law enforcement teams in the outer city! But in Mobei, especially in the Lingnan area, Lu's definition of gangs is paramilitary.

Troops are equivalent to terrorists! So although the area occupied by the bandits is Lu's territory, it is not under their control at all!"

Ning Zhe was not surprised by Jiao Tuzi's answer. Although the four major forces in the Northern Wilderness are now called the four major chaebols, in fact, the Xiahou family, the Jing family, and the Pei family do not recognize the Lu family's chaebol status. If it were not for the Lu family,

In terms of family, then Mobei is a completely unclaimed land. Now the Lu family is not only rising strongly, but also integrating the important source of materials of relic excavation, which naturally touches the cake of the three families.

So Ning Zhe can imagine that these three chaebols cultivated the gangs in Mobei. In addition to obtaining resources, they also wanted to contribute to the current situation of gangs in Mobei. They only paid for some low-cost weapons that were in short supply by the bandits.

Being able to curb the development of the Lu family without spending a single soldier is a good deal with guaranteed profits, because no matter how large these bandits become, they will only threaten the Lu family in the end.

The most important thing is that the arrival of the other three clans means that the Lu family can only trade with them and see their faces. Naturally, those profit-seeking enterprises and companies will not choose to do business in such a place of right and wrong.

As a result, Lu's economy has never been able to develop, and the people can only become bandits because they don't have enough to eat. The more bandits there are, the more chaos Mobei will become.

After a series of tricks, the other three clans were really murderous. They restricted the Lu family in all aspects from public security, resources, economy and other aspects.

Thinking of this, Ning Zhe continued to ask: "What about the Lu family? Haven't the Lu family ever thought of using this method of using bandits to control bandits?"

"The Lu family? Let's forget it!" Jiao Tuzi said with a look of disgust: "The Lu family relies on food. Apart from food, they have nothing else to offer. The weapons and equipment of their own troops are not enough.

, how can they have extra weapons to give to the bandits!

However, people from the Lu family had also talked with the gangs in Mobei, and they seemed to have promised the bandit leaders military positions and to integrate them into the army! However, other chaebols had given ultimatums to the Lu family, saying that they were evil in recruiting refugees to join the army.

The rules have broken! At the same time, those selfish bandits don’t want to work for the plutocrats, because being a soldier does not give you the freedom of being a bandit, and the money you make will be less, so naturally the matter did not work out!

Under this situation, the Lu family could only choose to suppress the bandits. As a result, the more they suppressed the bandits, the more bandits there were. The harder the Lu family suppressed them, the more unscrupulous these people became and continued to carry out terrorist activities. The Lu family

They themselves started by growing food. In order to prevent these bandits from affecting their planting areas, they had to cancel the anti-bandit operation and left the Lingnan area where banditry was serious. This led to the Lu family that I have seen and heard of.

Among the chaebols, they have the least control over their jurisdiction.”

After listening to Jiao Tuzi's story, Ning Zhe suddenly felt sympathy for the Lu family. Facing the joint pressure from the other three families, it was really not easy for them. He didn't expect that Lu Meng, the fourth master of the Lu family, had so many troubles behind him.

.

As for the Lu family's cooperation on the battlefield with the Xiahou family who first initiated the use of bandits to control bandits, or to use bandits to control Lu, Ning Zhe didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just that everyone got what they needed.

When he thought about how he was going to bring a transport team with an internal chaos and countless spies planted by Cheng Wenhan into a chaotic place where bandits were breeding and even the Lu family was helpless, Ning Zhe suddenly felt that he should sympathize with the Lu family at this time.
