Lu Man gradually heard some clues from the conversation between the two, and he also showed a knowing smile on his face. He licked his lips excitedly, "Well, Helian, you are worthy of being from the same industry and having unique vision. You're so accurate. Hey, it's a good idea and worth discussing. Boss Liang, what Helian said is very feasible."
"Boss Liang, I have done some research. The situation in the Indian Kingdom that lives next to us is in chaos, and there are a lot of loopholes to exploit. Last year we taught the people on the sidelines a lesson, and now these guys are smarter. They didn't come to us at all, but their enmity with the Hyderabad tribe became deeper and deeper. Not only did they rob the Hyderabad tribe's caravans, but it has now progressed to robbing each other's people and selling them into human beings. Slaves, I heard that the Hyderabad tribes repaid others with their own way, and they also started to attack the common people. I didn’t see that the slave market here in Shuangdui has flourished a lot. The Indian slave Bibi They were all bought cheaply by the slave traders of the two tribes from the nobles of their respective tribes. I heard that the prices of Indian slaves in the Komini in the south and the Luobi territory in the north also dropped sharply. They were probably here to help. It's probably because there are too many." Helianbo had obviously had some ideas for a long time, and he just took this opportunity to express them.
Lu Man also screamed strangely: "Hey, just in time, Mr. Xiao mentioned in his letter that the tax rate on the slave trade will be uniformly increased. I am still worried about whether those guys will be dissatisfied. Since the business is booming, why? I guess they have nothing to say."
"Huh, what's your little tax? Those guys are all making a lot of money, so why would they care about you? Now the price of Indian slaves has plummeted. I think we have a lot of slave traders. They are also buying in large quantities. I heard that the big families headed by them all have accumulated hundreds of slaves. Even Chunxiang House has bought a lot. Most of the girls there are Indian girls. ." He Lianbo said so hard that his saliva flew everywhere.
"Haha, no wonder, it turns out that I got the news from Chunxiang Tower. Helian, your sources of information are really extensive." Liang Chongxin also gave the other party a sideways look with a half-smile.
"Well, I learned about it by chance." He laughed awkwardly, and Helianbo quickly changed the topic: "Nowadays, people in Hyderabad are also unceremonious in attacking people who are hiding from others. Of course, people who are hiding from others are even more so. Not to be outdone, they had the Tik tribe backing them up. They even sent troops into the depths of the Hyderabad tribe's territory to plunder treasures, people and livestock. I heard that they had already had several small-scale conflicts with the Hyderabad tribe's army, and the two sides had conflicts with each other. Damage, the fire is getting stronger and stronger."
"Helian, do you mean that we help one side fight and collect reward fees, or do we just rob them openly like both of them? Neither of these methods will get Mr. Li's permission, right?" Lu Man gradually calmed down after getting excited.
"Hey, of course it's not an open robbery. We can dress up as Indians and rush in to fish in troubled waters and make a big profit. As long as we plan well, we will probably have a lot of money." He Lianbo talked about his old profession, and he was naturally familiar with it. .
"Then you have to choose your target carefully. If you want to rob treasures and people like them, it won't be of much value. The target is too big and too obvious, so it's not cost-effective." Lu Man carefully calculated the pros and cons.
"Who said we should be like them? Robbing people is the most clumsy way. It has bad impact, low profits, and high risks. The big money has been made by second-rate traffickers." He Lianbo shook his head disdainfully, looking like an expert. "The Indian Kingdom is rich in gold, and the output of gold mines and gold sand is extremely high. Their tribesmen use gold decoration as the most noble symbol. The nobles in the country are proud of who owns the most gold. Many nobles are arty. I learned from the nobles in the western continent who like to collect antiques. The nobles with some foundation have a lot of gold antiques hidden in their homes. Hehe, this is an inexhaustible cornucopia. It depends on whether we dare to touch them."
He Lianbo's extremely inflammatory rhetoric moved Liang Chongxin, who had never spoken to him. As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Luzon garrison, he had a clear understanding of the domestic situation of this large and weak neighbor to the west. To be honest, , he still spent a lot of time studying this complicated neighbor.
To put it bluntly, although this nominal kingdom has a vast territory and a large population, internal separatist ideas have long permeated the entire country, with a complex tribal composition, mutually hostile religious beliefs, uneven development speed of various forces, and distribution of vested interests. All these contradictions have caused this dynasty, which has a glorious history no less than the empire to which it belongs, to have fallen into serious decline. In Liang Chongxin's view, its collapse is only a matter of time, and it is only about who will complete it. This historical mission is nothing more than a giant clay giant in the wind and rain. When the time comes, it will collapse to the ground and turn into ashes.
But no one of its people who lived in the body of a giant seemed to notice this. Several tribes fought for supremacy for their own interests, making the crisis-ridden dynasty even more shaky. Fertile land, abundant resources, and a large population make the nobles living at the top of society even more extravagant and lustful, while the people living at the bottom have no clothes to wear and no food to cover their stomachs. The only way to escape famine is to exchange children for food, otherwise the development of the northwest would not have attracted such a large number of Indians to move here.
The Hyderabad tribe has declined but still holds on to the central power, while the Tik tribe and the Yakuan tribe in the south are no longer willing to live under others. The intensification of conflicts is naturally inevitable. The Zhe tribe is just exposed. Just an outstanding bird outside. How should I take advantage of the current favorable situation to truly benefit the northwest and northern Luzon? Liang Chongxin thought about this problem silently.
Although the military strength of various Indian ministries is far less powerful than that of its neighboring countries, their huge population resources mean that they have no shortage of soldiers. Of course, it does not mean that the number of soldiers can determine the strength of the army's combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the Hyderabad tribe With an army twice that of the Luobei people, they were still repeatedly beaten to pieces by the Luobei people and forced to accept humiliating conditions. I remember Mr. Li once said to himself that Indians will be good farmers, workers and businessmen, but they will definitely not be the best soldiers. Maybe this sentence is a bit excessive, but it also shows the characteristics of the Indian nation.
Is it to directly intervene to support the Hyderabad Ministry to launch a counterattack against the Panchayat Ministry, or to support it secretly and indirectly in other ways to obtain financial help from the other party? Or, as He Lianbo said, use special means to get a handful first? Several ideas were swirling in Liang Chongxin's mind, making him somewhat hesitant. It is obviously not appropriate to directly intervene now. Mr. Li will not agree to another large-scale war in the west at this moment, unless the situation in the east changes drastically. It's hard to say how many more realistic benefits can be obtained from covert and indirect support. However, taking extraordinary measures like Helianbo said requires taking considerable risks. Several methods have pros and cons.
Seeing that the military commander of Northern Luzon had been thinking silently for a long time but still had no intention of speaking, Helianbo said impatiently: "Boss Liang, anyway, Mr. Li has entrusted the military power of Northern Luzon and the countries in the Western Regions to him. You, hey, do you care so much about whether or not the general is ordered to do so? As long as you think it’s appropriate, just follow your opinions. After the fight, I don’t believe that this Indian can change the world? What a big deal Let’s just retreat, pretend it’s nothing, and just train troops.”
Hearing He Lianbo's casual words, Liang Chong's confidence felt as if something suddenly broke open the barrier. Yes, why should he worry so much? Since Mr. Li has combined Northern Luzon and The military affairs of the countries in the Western Region are entrusted to me. I can have a good time within my scope of authority. The winner or loser will not be determined until the end. How can I know if I am afraid of the wolf in front and the tiger in the back and dare not give it a try? The result behind it
Liang Chongxin nodded solemnly, and a glimmer of confidence flashed across his face, "Well, it seems like this is an opportunity. Our Northern Luzon is relatively quiet at the moment, and there won't be any trouble if there are mountain pillar divisions stationed in the Western Regions. , we can just take this opportunity to train our troops. We can now discuss it carefully, study a comprehensive strategy, and see which method is best."
Seeing Liang Chongxin nodding in support of his opinion, Helianbo's face suddenly turned red, his dark yellow eyes sparkled, he stood up, rubbed his hands vigorously and said with a smile: "Okay, Boss Liang, you decide first As for the big plan, I will take care of the errands below. We have to deal with those unkind guys in the west who are greedy for wealth. If we don’t get millions of gold coins from them, I won’t be called Helianbo!”
"Don't get excited first. We have to find the target first, and other measures must follow." Liang Chongxin waved his hand steadily and motioned He Lianbo to sit down, and said calmly: "Decide before taking action, Helian, you do the same. You are an old soldier, why are you so restless?"
"Hey, Boss Liang, I'm so excited. I've been holding it in for so long and just waiting for something to do. My hands are itching from rest." Helianbo scratched his head and sat down in embarrassment.
"Boss Liang, what do you mean-?" Lu Man also knew that this colleague must have his own ideas.
"Well, the chaos in India will happen sooner or later. Mr. Li has already connected us with the Hyderabad line, so we might as well use it. Luman, since the iron ore to your north has entered its peak production season, Shuangdui Mansion can naturally build several iron factories. As for who will invest, I think you will find a way. It is estimated that with the war, the Indians' need for weapons and iron will increase significantly, and we can also sell it here. Price. I want to contact the Hyderabad Ministry immediately to see if we can send some military instructors to help their troops improve their combat effectiveness. Of course, it won’t have much effect in a short time, but we can gradually expand our presence in the Indian Kingdom. influence and lay the foundation for the future.”
Liang Chongxin's words made Lu Man and He Lianbo feel embarrassed. In just a short period of time, the other party had already considered the future situation of the entire Indian Kingdom from a more profound perspective. This could not help but make the two of them Feel admired.
"Of course, the method proposed by Helian is the fastest and most direct way for us to obtain benefits. This requires well-set targets and a lot of preliminary work in intelligence, logistics, public opinion, etc. We will work together on these three prongs. I think it's not impossible to win a big lottery." With a proud smile on his lips, Liang Chongxin cast his eyes out the window.
