Chapter 484 Wait and See

After Jia Huan left, Lin Zhennan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Only then did he suddenly realize that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

In theory, he was just a middleman who passed on messages and didn't need to bear any psychological pressure.

But in fact, facing Jia Huan, a world-famous knight, Lin Zhennan felt inferior.

In addition, his son Lin Pingzhi joined the Beggars' Sect, and the Fuwei Escort Agency and the Beggars' Sect were deeply bound together, so he had to think more.

Unexpectedly, Jia Huan was so tough that he didn't take the power of the big families in the southeast coast seriously.

It's impossible to say that he was not panicking. As a local tyrant in Fuzhou, Lin Zhennan certainly knew how powerful the big families in the southeast coast were, and their strength was not just talk.

Apart from anything else, their tangled relationship with Southern Shaolin alone was enough to explain a lot of things.

Of course, as the top master of the Beggars' Sect at this time, the chivalrous beggar Jia Huan would naturally not be afraid of such threats.

Mrs. Lin was open-minded. After listening to her husband Lin Zhennan's story, she didn't agree with it and persuaded her husband not to think too much.

Since the chivalrous beggar was so strong, he naturally had enough confidence.

The couple didn't know the specific situation of the Beggar Gang.

But they knew one thing, the strength of the Fujian branch of the Beggar Gang could indeed suppress one or two Southeast clans, at least in terms of military force. What about the entire Beggar Gang?

Mrs. Lin's idea was very simple, that is, to wait and see.

Do the things arranged by Jia Huan well, and the other things will naturally be handled by the Beggar Gang, so her husband doesn't need to worry too much.

Now that the Beggar Gang is backed, it is a good time for the escort agency to expand its power, and it must not be missed.

Even if the escort agency did not spread to the Yellow River area according to Jia Huan's instructions, it would be enough for the escort agency to digest and absorb for many years.

Especially in the provinces in the core area of ​​the south, it would be a victory to gain a foothold in a certain prefecture.

Lin Zhennan thought that this was the truth, so he simply let go of his worries and busy himself with his own affairs.

When Jia Huan's term of office was about to end, he suddenly quietly transported about 100 stones of white sugar from Yizhou Island, and Lin Zhennan suddenly realized it.

Obviously, Yizhou Island is an absolute treasure pot, and this is the case for the Beggar Gang forces that are on the island at this time.

In order to protect the endless interests, let alone a few large families in the southeast coast that are close, even if the entire southeast coastal family turns against them, it is estimated that the Beggar Gang will not give in at all.

Of course, before the complete turn of events, they can fool as long as they can. When Lin Zhennan contacted the people from the large families in the southeast coast, he did not say anything very final. He only said that the Beggar Gang was discussing and considering it, and he was not very clear about the rest.

The banner of the Beggar Gang is still very useful!

The powerful families may think that the Beggar Gang is not up to the standard, and it is just a grass-roots team composed of a group of gangsters.

But they absolutely dare not underestimate the strength of the Beggars' Sect. If they really want to turn against each other, it is impossible not to be fully prepared.

Jia Huan also did some things during this period.

For example, he would go to Yizhou Island every month to deal with the problems of the Beggars' Sect stronghold on the island, warn the Beggars' Sect disciples stationed there, and constantly emphasize the importance of the martial arts promotion system.

For disciples who break the rules, they will either be directly transferred or dealt with secretly. He will not be soft-hearted in this regard.

At the same time, he also contacted the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office in Fujian Province and reached some agreements in secret.

That's right, in response to the possible threats from the big families on the southeast coast, Jia Huan adopted the strategy of "inviting the wolf into the house".

In the past, the southeastern sea trade was basically controlled by the big families on the southeastern coast, and even powerful institutions such as the Jinyiwei could not intervene.

It's not that there is no such strength, but there is no guide. If you rashly participate in the sea trade, it is easy to end up with the ship destroyed and people killed.

In addition, the representatives of the big families in the southeast coast in the court and local government came forward, and a lot of money was spent on bribery, which made the local Jinyiwei Qianhu dare not act rashly.

But the situation is different now. If the Beggars' Gang cooperates, it is still very easy to destroy several Southeast Coast families that are not strong enough. At that time, they can directly take over the sea ships and trade routes left by these families and take the initiative to participate.

As long as the operation is proper and not collectively targeted by the entire Southeast Coast family, it will be a success.

Anyway, it won't be long before the "Japanese Rebellion" that shakes the entire Ming Dynasty will break out. All the families who secretly participated in the foreign trade are not innocent.

Originally, Jia Huan planned to wait until the "Japanese Rebellion" started, and then cooperate with the government to encircle and suppress it, so as to establish a solid foundation in the southeast region, so as to start the development of Yizhou Island and the experiment of the "Martial Arts Government".

It's just that the Beggars' Gang's development momentum is too fast, and the time to encounter bottlenecks is too fast, so it's worth it for him to start moving in advance.

As for the real driving force behind the "Japanese Rebellion", the big families on the southeast coast will be targeted sooner or later. It doesn't make any difference to Jia Huan whether he faces it earlier or later.

These, of course, don't need to be mentioned to others.

When the simple dock on Yizhou Island was built, Jia Huan had already started his return journey with his wife and children.

During the three months of sitting in the Fujian branch, nothing unpleasant happened, and the big families on the southeast coast did not use any tricks.

However, when he left, he had received accurate news that the ships sailing in the strait had seen traces of pirates on the sea, and seemed to be quite unfriendly to the fleet of Fuwei Escort Agency.

In addition, there are also traces of pirates spying on the sea off the Yizhou Island Beggars' Gang stronghold.

Various signs indicate that there are pirate forces that want to target the Beggars' Gang, or the Beggars' Gang stronghold on Yizhou Island.

Haha, are they going to make a move if they can't reach an agreement?

Jia Huan naturally has nothing to say about this, and directly ordered the branch's senior management to directly fight anyone who stretches out their claws.

Don't think about resolving the problem through negotiations in a Jianghu way, there is no basis for negotiation at all. Is it possible that the branch is ready to take the initiative to give in?

If anyone dares to say such a thing, Jia Huan doesn't need to do anything, and the other senior management of the branch will not tolerate such a traitorous existence.

Seeing that the interests of the Yizhou Island stronghold are getting bigger and bigger, the branch is too busy to protect it, so how could it take the initiative to give it up?

Again, the Beggars' Gang is not a small force that can be manipulated by others. The power of the Fujian Branch alone is quite strong, and it is not afraid of the so-called pirate threat at all.

If you don't fight a few games and weigh the opponent's strength, how can you have the idea of ​​giving in? It's either stupid or bad.

Jia Huan had the same idea: fight, fight hard!

Even if they can't win on the sea, they can win on land, right?

At this time, the Beggar Gang's stronghold on Yizhou Island was quite large, and the grain production alone was self-sufficient and had a lot of surplus, so it didn't matter even if the sea route was blocked.

It would be great if they could find out the details of the strength of several pirates during the fight.

In fact, Jia Huan really wanted to meet Wang Zhi, the biggest pirate leader at the time, who could even be called the pirate king.

Anyone who knew about the "Japanese Rebellion" in the middle of the Ming Dynasty knew about Wang Zhi, a pirate strongman.

Being able to go from a black glove of a big family on the southeast coast to a chess player on the chessboard, this guy's ability and strength should not be underestimated.

Let's put it this way, in the modern time and space Xu Laoguai's film "Swordsman: Invincible in the East", the prototype of "Invincible in the East" should be Wang Zhi.

It's just not clear how much difference there is between Wang Zhi's martial arts and Invincible in the East. After all, this is a martial arts world.

If they really had to fight to the death, even if all the masters of Shaolin and Wudang were dispatched, they would not be able to defeat the pirate masters under Wang Zhi.

However, Jia Huan still planned to wait for the Fujian branch to fight a few battles with the pirate forces before talking about other things.

For a pirate strongman like Wang Zhi, no matter how powerful his mouth is, it is not as important as the real strength at hand.

The title of chivalrous beggar may not be useful for such an existence.

Fortunately, he is not in a hurry. After dealing with Liu Zhengfeng's affairs, it will be almost time to come next year.

It is estimated that by then, the patience of some big families on the southeast coast will almost reach its limit, and it is just right to meet these existences.

After slowly returning to Yuezhou, he was busy again.

At this time, the Beggar Gang had spread its tentacles across most of the Ming Dynasty, with nearly a dozen branches alone, and single strongholds were blooming everywhere.

It takes a lot of energy for the top leaders of the Beggar Gang to deal with the intelligence sent by the major branches and important strongholds.

Not to mention, the Beggars' Sect also has to be chivalrous and carry out special strikes against evil people and unruly green forest heroes who emerge from certain places.

These two things alone are enough to divert half of the Beggars' Sect's energy, not to mention the complicated internal affairs.

At this time, the Yuezhou branch controlled by Jia Huan showed the benefits of cultivating its own talents early.

At this time, the Yuezhou branch, whether in terms of strength or scale, can be called the first branch of the Beggars' Sect.

The many formal industries controlled by the hall alone have a very good ability to make money, which can help the branch maintain a huge scale.

Most of the management talents and various professional talents are cultivated by themselves, and their loyalty is much greater than that of external hires.

Jia Huan has been operating for many years and has formed a fairly complete operating system. At least during the time he was away, there were no problems.

What he needs to do is to control the general direction and do a good job of supervision, and take time to instruct the martial arts of the elite brothers. He doesn't need to worry about other things.

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of talents cultivated by the Yuezhou branch alone for the Beggars' Sect is more than the sum of the rest of the branches.

There is no other way. The rest of the Beggars' Sect still basically follows the traditional model. Whether they can develop well depends on the ability and conscience of the leader and his subordinates, which is naturally quite unreliable.

Jia Huan will not meddle in other people's business. As long as the Beggars' Sect can operate normally, it's fine!
