"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1328
? Hanhai Dynasty, within the territory of Qingzhou.
A convoy full of supplies was slowly heading towards the White Horse Pass of the Far East Empire along the main road.
Dozens of guard cavalry wearing leather armor swam around the convoy, looking around vigilantly to ensure the safety of the convoy.
Chen Ziang and the others overthrew the decadent and dark dynasty, but what they took over was a mess, the people's livelihood was in decline, and everything was left to be done.
All kinds of materials are also extremely scarce. A large amount of food in the Jiangnan Province and Dongjiang Province is continuously transported to each province, which barely stabilizes the situation.
However, other materials such as cloth and silk need to be spun because of the need to grow mulberry.
In the past, all the provinces in the empire were in chaos, and the land for growing food was barren, let alone the people who grew mulberry.
Now that the empire has been established, cloth has become one of the scarce supplies, so it has to be purchased from the neighboring Hanhai Dynasty.
Fortunately, the empire now has a large Far East business house with branches all over the place. They can purchase a large amount of scarce materials from neighboring countries and transport them back to the empire.
This large convoy in Qingzhou of the Hanhai Dynasty is a convoy for transporting cloth.
This is already the third time they have gone back and forth between Baimaguan and the capital of Qingzhou this month, and each time they bought a large amount of cloth and other things and shipped them back to the empire.
"Tell the convoy to speed up and enter Baima Pass for accommodation before dark."
The leader of the caravan turned around and forgot to glance at the mighty caravan, and conveyed the order to speed up.
After all, the nearby area has not been very peaceful recently. Several caravans were attacked by inexplicable attacks and their entire army was wiped out.
Although their caravan has increased accompanying guard cavalry, there is still a great risk in staying overnight in the wild mountains.
Fortunately, it is not far from the White Horse Pass of the Empire. As long as they speed up a little, it should not be a problem to reach the White Horse Pass before nightfall.
White Horse Pass is stationed by the Empire's Fifth Field Army Corps. As long as they enter the White Horse Pass, they will be safe.
"Send a few brothers to the front to explore the road and see if there is anything unusual."
While ordering the caravan to speed up, the team leader also called the accompanying captain of the guard to him.
"You guys go to the front to explore the way."
The captain of the guard quickly ordered a few capable guard cavalry, waved their whips, and went forward to explore the way.
These guard cavalry were also trained by the Far East Commercial Bank by spending money, and all of them were well-trained.
Far East Commercial Bank can extend its tentacles into neighboring countries, and these guarding forces are also an important reliance.
There used to be many bandits who wanted to take advantage of the Far East Trading Company, but in the end they all fell into the hands of the Far East Trading Company, and instead ended up in a tragic end in the wilderness.
It has become an open secret that the Far East Commercial Bank has strong guards. Ordinary bandits, as long as they see a convoy with the banner of the Far Eastern Commercial Bank, they will generally run away.
If you offend the fleet of the Far East Commercial Bank, even if you succeed for a while, you will encounter crazy revenge from the Far Eastern Commercial Bank later.
?Because the Far East Commercial Firm will take revenge, and they are very rich. As long as they dare to spend money, other gangsters will take the initiative to take over the work and wipe out those who offended them.
Over time, the fleet of the Far East Trading Company has now become a trading company that bandits and gangsters from all walks of life have changed their faces, and they dare not make a wrong idea.
But even so, the various caravans under the Far East Commercial Bank are still very cautious when walking outside to avoid being calculated by others.
But this time, someone really set their sights on the fleet of the Far East Commercial Bank and followed them.
"Master leader, there is a situation!"
When the caravan had just turned a corner, several guard cavalry who suddenly rode in front suddenly drew out the knives at their waists and gave a loud warning.
The guards and grooms of the caravan also pulled out the blades in the scabbard one after another, and quickly put on a defensive posture.
At this moment, on the big trees at the turn of the road, there were several caravan guards who were bloody and dead, and their wounds were still dripping blood.
These guards were the guards who had just been sent to explore the way, but now they were killed and hung on the tree.
& nbsp; After seeing this scene, the leaders of the caravan and the cavalry guards all looked extremely ugly.
The leader of the caravan also showed anger on his face, he did not expect that someone would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
"Don't be sneaky and cowardly, get out if you have the guts, those who dare to touch our Far East caravan, how courageous!"
After the team leader made a warning gesture, he shouted at the top of his voice.
As soon as the leader's words fell, rustling sounds came from the forest near the main road.
Soon, a large number of unidentified bandits with sharp weapons rushed out of the forest, staring at the caravan, looking unfriendly.
The clothes of more than a dozen gangsters in front were still stained with blood, and their faces were ferocious, and they were not good at first glance.
"You are on that road! Those who dare to touch our Far East caravan!?"
Seeing that there were hundreds of gangsters with fierce faces, the team leader questioned them sharply in the face of danger.
"You don't care where we are, obediently put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" A vicious leader shouted coldly.
"We are a caravan affiliated to the Far East Chamber of Commerce. If you dare to attack us, you will be responsible for the consequences!" The team leader immediately turned back.
"Damn, don't eat a toast and eat fine wine!"
"Brothers, kill me, leave no one behind!"
The leading gangster was very irritable. Facing the warning, he didn't pay attention to the name of the Far East Chamber of Commerce, and directly ordered to do it.
"Kill!"
Those gangsters with stern eyes shining fiercely waved their weapons and rushed towards the caravan.
"Throw away the goods, withdraw!"
Seeing that these gangsters were really not afraid of their names and pounced on them, the leader of the caravan also looked solemn, and directly ordered to abandon the goods to break through.
For caravans, the enemy is numerous and powerful, and if the goods are lost, they can always be recaptured, but if the people are dead and then cultivated, it will cost a lot.
What's more, several caravans in the nearby area have been slaughtered recently, so the enemy is brutal and bloodthirsty. The Chamber of Commerce has issued an order. Once lost, they can give up their goods to save their lives.
The grooms driving the carriage quickly cut the rope with their knives, and released the pack horse pulling the carriage to become a mount.
The guard cavalry took off the hard bows they were carrying one after another, and shot and covered each other with the bandits coming and going.
The crowd fought and withdrew towards the direction of Baima Pass to break out of the encirclement. Those bandits were all infantry and were quickly thrown away.
Although the guards of the caravan were able to escape, all the cargo of the entire convoy fell into the hands of the bandits.
The guards galloped all the way to Baima Pass for help, hoping that the Fifth Field Army Corps stationed here could send troops to help them regain the goods.
However, the Fifth Field Army Corps stationed here tactfully rejected their offer, because the place where the caravan was attacked was in the vast sea.
Once they attack, they will cross the border and take great risks.
Moreover, now that the empire has just been established, what is urgently needed is a stable external environment so that they can concentrate on internal development.
These troops stationed in the border area have also been ordered not to cross the border without authorization to provoke friction.
Precisely because of this, facing the attacked Far East caravan, although the Fifth Field Army Corps was also very angry, it did not dare to blatantly assist across the border.
They could only report the situation. Wang Cheng, head of the fifth field army, finally decided to send someone to negotiate with the troops stationed in the border area of ??the Hanhai Dynasty, hoping that they could dispatch the bandits and take back the looted goods of the Far East caravan.
