Chapter 14: : Interest Alliance

Information about Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is in the common sense reserved by Jin Jin.
There are six large chambers of commerce in the Shengming continent of the human race. The six chambers of commerce have a long history, and each chamber is a behemoth, backed by a powerful nobleman, with businesses all over the mountains, jungles, lakes, and deserts.
And under these six chambers of commerce, one chamber of commerce has risen rapidly in the past 100 years, quickly becoming the second largest chamber of commerce, and leaving other chambers of commerce far behind.
This Chamber of Commerce is the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce.
Wisteria Chamber of Commerce absorbs a large number of small and medium-sized business associations to join, even individual shops and solo traders are tolerantly recruited, and have extremely large scale and influence in the middle and lower market.
However, because of the lack of upper-level refuge, the great nobles of the Holy Ming Empire coveted the profits of the Chamber of Commerce and chose to start.
Wisteria Chamber of Commerce was suppressed, the president of the chamber of commerce fell "on accident" and died. Now the chamber of commerce has been torn apart and divided by the big nobles.
"After the father's accident, only me is the daughter. I don't want to give up! If the efforts of my father, grandfather and grandparents are ruined, then I am really unfilial. Many caravan elders are also unwilling to be sincere and unite with me. Around. "
"But no matter how much money is there, it is not an opponent of power. My father's death made me realize that I must participate in the power of the empire. With the previous development of the Chamber of Commerce, the more money and the larger the scale, the more I will go up. Dead end. "
"I have carefully selected the partners for the caravan, and finally you will get a shot with you."
Jin Jin's mind seemed to have a flash of lightning, and he immediately understood the causes and consequences.
Although there are only a few scenes of memory, Jian Jin knows that the Baizhen family is a southern noble.
The great and powerful Emperor Shengming, he unified the entire human continent and named it Shengming Continent. The final link to conquer the entire continent is to annex the southernmost part of the continent.
The decisive battle is the annihilation of the Knights of the Fir.
The conquering army of the Holy Ming Empire was trapped in the mountainous terrain, and it reached an impasse for the conquest of the southern part of the mainland.
The southern aristocracy, who had previously surrendered, saw hope in the stalemate and secretly contacted the rebellious southern aristocracy to reach a covenant.
The Fifth Legion of the Templars withdrew from the front to rest, and the noble southern nobles sent the fir knights to ambush.
The Hanshan Knights are the top corps of the Southern Aristocratic Alliance. They wiped out the Templars ’Fifth Legion, but were defeated by the Templars who came later to support them.
The Hanshan Knights were defeated, and the southern nobles quickly dispatched reinforcements. As a result, the original solid line of defense appeared a huge flaw.
The empire's response was extremely rapid, and the front-line legions were dispatched together to launch a general attack to completely defeat the defense of the southern nobles.
The southern nobles lost and lost, and they were no longer able to stop the army of the Holy Empire, either killed or surrendered.
The part of the southern nobles who had cast their hearts on repentance and rebellion also suffered severe cleansing.
The Baizhen family is one of the nobles in this part. At that time, there were quite a few members of the Baizhen family in the Hanshan Knights.
Although the Hundred Needle family was supported under cleansing, the family territory, wealth, and military were all greatly reduced. And in the ensuing time, suffered from suppression and exclusion from various aspects of the imperial nobles.
The Baizhen family naturally does not want to fall. On the one hand, it gathers other families in the same situation and establishes alliances. On the other hand, it actively studies the upper levels of the empire. The hundred needle family sent the needle gold to the Knights Templar, which is one of the achievements.
The Knights Templar is the ace legion of the Holy Ming Empire. It is directly under the Great Emperor Sheng Ming and is the most powerful military force of the Emperor. Every Templar knight believes in the Holy Emperor Ming, and a person devotes even his faith. Natural loyalty is full of value. Therefore, the Templar Knights also have the most trust from the Holy Emperor.
Generally speaking, there are very few nobles in power in the empire, and they will not even send their children to the Temple Corps. The worship of the faith is just as if the white-eyed wolf was cultivated in the family. Nobles believe in the supremacy of interests. Most of the time, family interests are above everything else.
And the small and medium nobles, court nobles, and individual big nobles who are attached to the line of the emperor will selectively send the children of the family to the Knights Templar.
Jin Jin joined the Templars as the only heir of the Baizhen family, which is the most sincere expression of the loyalty of the Baizhen family to the Saint Ming emperor.
This diplomatic act successfully relieved the external pressure of the Baizhen family. However, it is inevitable, that the needle gold is suppressed and excluded in the Temple Corps, naturally, and as it should be.
After all, the Fir Knights of that year almost slaughtered the Five Templars. Who would n’t have a relationship with the nobles? The needle gold that became the Templar knight, and the colleagues around him, had long hatred.
"It is indeed a wise move to send the heir to the Temple Corps. Because it is in the best interests of the family to completely rely on the political faction of the Great Emperor Ming." Jin Jin recalled his father in his mind. Obviously, that Two middle-aged aristocrats with long slender beards have the cleverness and determination of a clan.
"As the only heir of the 100-needle family, when I joined the temple, I was subjected to exclusion and suppression. This should be within my expectation. I also chose to endure."
Jin Jin recalled the second act of memory.
Qingkui in his memory obviously took the initiative to find fault, deliberately making things difficult.
His motives are understandable. A relative of him was killed in the Fifth Army.
As for Jin Jin's own actions, you can also make a judgment.
Although he is extremely talented, he did not show his way, but chose to hide his talents and concentrate on practice. Usually low-key, in order to prevent being suppressed by political enemies, or even kill it in advance.
He became a Templar, looking for allies in the camp of the emperor, not enemies everywhere. As the future leader of the family, he came with a diplomatic purpose.
The army never lacks opportunities to build friendship.
When faced with huge external pressure, the Templars will force themselves to believe in each other and depend on each other. Such a life-and-death experience will greatly resolve the old hatred.
In this way, the Baizhen family got rid of political difficulties and became a member of the imperial family.
However, if the Baizhen family did this step, it could only be regarded as a bare foothold. This noble family was still quite down.
How to expand the territory, increase wealth, and strengthen the strength of the family?
The mainland of the human race has been unified by the Great Emperor Shengming, and the world has been flat, there are not many opportunities.
And the human race attacked the Orc continent, which became the best opportunity for many nobles to expand their family territory and establish their own military achievements.
Baisha City is an opportunity for the Baizhen family, so this time Jinzhen came to compete for the position of the lord.
From Zidi's perspective.
Wisteria Chamber of Commerce was divided by the big nobles, and the president of Wisteria Chamber of Commerce died as a result. If the elders could bow their heads, they would have turned to these big nobles.
The elders of the chamber of commerce united with Zidi are naturally hostile to these great nobles.
As a result, Zidi can only rely on members of the imperial lineage.
Among these members, the powerful ones cannot ignore the remnants of the Chamber of Commerce of Zidi.
Perhaps the complete Wisteria Chamber of Commerce can make them feel excited, but the current Chamber of Commerce has already been torn apart.
Moderate strength, there are also concerns.
Zidi, this group of people, can be said to be the essence of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. They accepted them bravely and were hostile to the powerful nobles in the empire.
The gains and losses and risks in this need to be carefully considered.
Weak members, such as some court nobles, do not even have territories, and members of the chamber of commerce cannot settle.
At the same time, as the new leader of the Chamber of Commerce, Zidi also has its own concerns.
She tried not to choose a strong aristocrat to take refuge. After all, she was just a black iron Xiuwei mage. Too strong aristocrats are likely to annex the remaining wisteria chamber of commerce in future cooperation.
After careful selection, Zidi took a fancy to the Baizhen family.
The contemporary patriarch of the Baizhen family is a gold-level strongman. He was hit hard in his early years and his right arm was missing.
The Baizhen family was once a large aristocrat in the south and has a long history. After being forced into empire, the Baizhen family suffered from exclusion and suppression, and now it is barely gaining a foothold, and it is in urgent need of development and development.
The territory of the Baizhen family was deprived, and the existing territories had scarce properties and were crowded out by the surrounding territories. Therefore, the 100-needle family needs the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce channel, which values ​​the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce more than other families.
The most important thing is that the Baizhen family is also willing to pay the price, and will not hesitate to promise the marriage of the future family heir to the Chamber of Commerce. And after the agreement was signed, an engagement ceremony was held to spread the news widely.
All of these reasons, wonderfully created the unmarried young couple Jinzhen and Zidi.
They have their own embarrassment, and they strongly need each other. This is not only their will, but also the will of the forces behind them.
Otherwise, such a dignified noble as Jin Jin, how could it be engaged to a woman with low blood circulation?
"The Hundred Needles family can send the only heir first to the temple, and now to the front battlefield of Baisha City, where they bear the huge risk of heirs' death. This is a gamble!"
"The same is true of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. Neither of us has a retreat."
"No wonder Zidi always treats me!"
Pinpoints thousands of thoughts and finally understands the complex hidden emotions.
Looking at the girl in front of her, Pin Jin's heart is even closer.
Jin Jin does not hate the alliance of interests, but rather recognizes it.
Alliance of interests is usually more reliable than affection. Moreover, affection can be cultivated.
Coupled with the marriage connection, Pin Jin knew that Zidi would be his most reliable ally in the future.
Zidi continued: "We took the sea boat, we originally wanted to enter the orc continent, and went to Baisha City to compete for the position of the city master. However, on the way to the sea, inexplicably encountered a shipwreck and finally came to this island."
Zhen Jin Shen Yin: "So, what we have to do now is not only to save our lives and leave here, but also to gather more men. Zidi, how many troops have I brought and how many reliable officials are there?"
Faced with this problem, Zidi hesitated for a rare time. She thought about it and said: "Adult, you have the qualification to compete with the white sand city master, and also have the talent strength beyond ordinary people. We go this time, mainly to bring It is the armed backbone of the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, and it hires two famous mercenary regiments. "
Needle gold slightly stunned.
He heard it.
Has no family members or troops on his side, just a commander of bare rod. I had no choice but to rely on the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce and hired two mercenary regiments.
This is too embarrassing!
As the only heir of a nobleman on the ground, to risk his life, go to the front of the war to fight a future, there is no lineage army around him!
Compared with the mercenary regiments who pay for money, the wisteria caravan's armament has become the most powerful force of the needle gold.
"Is the 100-needle family down to this point? But none of them can't say it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" This abnormal condition makes Jing Jin frown.
Zidi explained: "There are indeed a group of men dispatched from the adult's family. But they were attacked by robbers on the way, and the whole army was wiped out. At the same time, goblin and food appeared around the territory of the Baizhen family. Traces of frequent actions of man and demon. "
"We are worried that other competitors will arrive in Baisha City ahead of time to establish early advantages. So, we made the illusion of staying in place, actually disguised our identity, and secretly set off and took the pig kiss to the sea."
The pin-eye pupil shrank and snorted: "It seems that the competition for the position of the White Sand City Lord is fierce."
An elite noble army will be wiped out by the so-called robbers halfway.
And the current border of the Baizhen family is a hinterland long ago. How could there be a living space for goblins and ogres?
Thought of something, and Jin Jin asked again: "Who is competing with me as the lord of the city? Are they taking the same boat as us?"
Zi Di shook his head: "There are two others in total, both of whom are adults. They did not share a boat with us."
Jin Jin did not speak.
He is thinking.
This answer means that they do not need a strong competitor with malicious intentions on this island. But at the same time, it is very likely that the shipwreck came from these competitors.
Zidi said again: "But, my lord. With us, there is a temple priest named Scab. He is the appraiser of this city-lord competition. He is probably still alive, if we can find him, and It ’s better to help him. "
"Scary sand?" Pin Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, thoughtfully.
