Gan Ning sailed the boat on the sea for a while, then turned to the Yellow River, and then returned to the sea. Taishi Ci's continuous information came to him on time every day, but it was obvious that there was no progress!
The depressed Gan Ning took his big knife and stabbed the shark in the sea. He was a typical person who was confident and courageous, but impatient. Now if you ask Gan Ning to attack Yuan Shao's camp, Gan Ning would dare to go, but you
Gan Ning was asked to squat near the coastline and wait for the opportunity. After waiting and waiting, Gan Ning became depressed.
If Gan Ning had not had confidence in Chen Xi, he would have become impatient a long time ago. However, Gan Ning had already fought several battles with the nearby pirates. In other words, no matter whether it was Sanhan or Gongsun Du's men, they would dare to provoke Gan Ning.
Be ruthless.
Looking at the merchant ships passing by his territory, Gan Ning had an illusion. When did the poor place in Youzhou have so many merchant ships? Ship after ship of goods, war horses, cattle, sheep, leather, medicinal materials, incense, everything. Gan Ning saw it several times.
Ning wanted to rob it, but after thinking about the current situation, he still endured it. He didn't even take a commission from a professional gangster and allowed one ship after another to pass through his territory.
In the next ten days or so, Gan Ning discovered that there were more and more merchant ships, and some of them were obviously not sea-going ships. They were simply flat-bottomed boats that followed sea-going ships to pull cargo. In Gan Ning's words, this was basically equivalent to
Even though they were dying, the merchants at sea were still happy with it and even approached the coastline specifically for this purpose just to pull in more goods.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Gan Ning was a little unhappy when he saw another merchant ship that was almost as big as his flagship and ordered his men to disperse and let the other party pass. He was not here to rob this group of people, so he just
Turning a blind eye, as long as they don't act nervously against Gan Ning, Gan Ning will now treat these passing businessmen as passing flies, as long as they don't bother him.
As a result, an accident occurred this time. The merchant ship actually stopped not far from Gan Ning's flagship, and there were sounds from the other party's ship.
"Brother across the way, I am a merchant from the Tian family. I see that your ship is not fully loaded and you would like to rent it to us. Then the profit will be divided in half!" a wealthy man in silk clothes shouted loudly.
"No!" Gan Ning refused directly.
"Brother! We have something to discuss. My Tian family is also a wealthy family. This time I brought a lot of goods to Qingzhou. The load is a bit too much. Lend me two ships. Now there are many merchants from all over the world in Taishan, Qingzhou. After this time
We may never find it again. My brother is also a boat owner, so I would like to help you. Our Tian family is willing to help with the goods!" The man stood on the board of the boat and pressed against the edge of the boat and yelled.
This man from the Tian family is Tian Yu's younger brother Tian Tian. He loves business among other things. The old man of the Tian family was extremely angry with him for not living up to expectations, but over time he had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted. Therefore, the chief steward of the Tian family is still Wada.
He is the direct brother of the next head of the family, so he has great power.
"Are you going to Qingzhou? What's going on there? How do you say there are so many businessmen from all over the world?" Gan Ning originally wanted to drive this group of people away, but he didn't want the other party to tell him something he didn't know.
"Good brother! Listen to me and follow me to Qingzhou quickly. You will definitely earn him a lot of money! After this time, there may not be such an opportunity again!" When the man heard this, Gan Ning didn't know.
What's going on? I was dumbfounded and quickly put this
The news was told to Gan Ning. After all, businessmen from all over the world are now gathering in Qingzhou. Businessmen with a little discernment will understand that regardless of the tax, what they want to buy this time will definitely appear, and there will definitely be a buyer for the things they have always wanted to get rid of.
!
The man quickly told Gan Ning the whole thing, and Gan Ning suddenly thought wrongly, "The military advisor will not let me come here to protect the smooth flow of trade routes. There were many pirates and bandits here before!"
It’s not impossible to say so!]
"Steward Tian, I am Gan Xingba, the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou Navy. I am stationed here to protect the prosperous trade routes! Have you ever been attacked by pirates and bandits on the way here?" Gan Ning laughed, and then he assumed the role.
"Huh? You said you were guarding the trade route?" The man was a little dumbfounded, "Oh, forget it, my ship is overloaded, and those bastards ran away quickly and took away all the ships in Youzhou. Now I can only do this
Let's go to Qingzhou slowly, alas, since General Gan is stationed at the sea route, I won't bother you."
After finishing speaking, the man in colorful clothes turned to his guard and whispered, "Yue Wen, go and order someone to give the pirates and water bandits the money they prepared to buy the way. There was no obstruction along the way. Even if they didn't say anything, thank you for your hard work."
The fee should also be kept.”
"Steward Tian, just go to Qingzhou quickly." Gan Ning withdrew his formation to let the other side pass. It had to be said that the draft of the ship was a bit too deep, and there were a bunch of small boats behind it. It was obvious that the other side was not kidding, it was really Youzhou.
The ship is gone.
The speed of the other party's passage is not fast. It is overloaded. It is strange that it can be faster.
"What is this?" Gan Ning asked curiously as he watched a small boat row over.
"The general is working very hard to guard the sea route. It's just that my Tian family didn't arrive. Since you know, please don't refuse, general. It's just some food, wine, money and food, which can be considered a thoughtful gesture from my Tian family." The guard who was standing next to Tian Tian before smiled.
replied.
"That's fine." Gan Ning touched his chin. He was not an upright type. After all, he did guard the sea trade routes and also surrounded and suppressed many pirates and bandits.
"Gan Yan, please bring some people to transport the captured pirate ships and send them to Qingzhou. Wouldn't it be a tragedy if so much cargo sank?" Gan Ning thought about it and said after thinking about it, it is not easy to do such a thing as reciprocating a favor.
It's nothing, by the way, his regular troops now have more pirate ships than warships.
"Here!" Gan Yan said as he cupped his hands.
After Yue Wen left, Gan Ning felt much better. It turned out that he was still very important. When he stayed here, he not only seized the opportunity to deal with Yuan Shao, rescued the friendly army Gongsun Zan, but also guarded the business road. Gan Ning, who had multiple jobs, suddenly felt better.
A lot of heavy pressure is impossible to crush him, it will only make his fighting spirit burn even more fiercely!
After watching the Tian family caravan leave, Gan Ning cheered up his fighting spirit and ordered to the generals beside him, "Disperse the fleet, Gan Luo and Gan He each lead a navy and search for pirates and bandits along the coastline."
, once discovered, there is no need to report anything, direct attack, dare to steal money from our Qingzhou, court death!"
"Here!" Gan Ning's navy replied loudly, and soon divided into three parts. Except for Gan Ning who was stationed here and led more than 500 people, the remaining two parts were one in the south and one in the north along the coastline looking for those who dared to
The role of cutting off Qingzhou's financial path, in Gan Ning's heart, since he accepted this position, he must do his best, and any character who dares to reach out must die!
Standing on the edge of the boat, Gan Ning looked at the two sailors who were gradually moving away, and suddenly he had an unpleasant feeling! After shaking his head to get rid of the feeling, Gan Ning finally suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
