Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight balance created by interests
Due to geographical advantages, the Lausanne tribe established a lookout on the top of the mountain that was backed by. There were plains around this place, so the lookout on the top of the mountain was very far away with the help of a telescope.
Today is a cool and visibility.
At the lookout whistle on the mountain, the large group of people appeared in the distance. However, they saw clearly the clothes of the team through the telescope, especially the long chariot team, but they were not panicked at all. They just blew the slogan in a hurry. The slogan tribe's regulations on the slogan sound: the slogan meant that there were people coming. The medical slogan was particularly thick, and Xiang Fuli and Yangjin Ranze were vaguely heard in that atmosphere at that time, so naturally they didn't take it seriously.
Immediately, I saw Yi rushing towards the Dazang bag in the tribe, and immediately reported that the "Three-eyed Cat" and the large group of people arrived.
If it were in normal times, Lausanne would not care much: not to mention that the forces behind the Three-eyed Cat have to bring people at least twice a year, and among this force, the Three-eyed Cat comes the most, which is the private relationship between Lausanne and the Three-eyed Cat, or the activities, which is enough to reduce his vigilance against the Three-eyed Cat.
But now it is different: the Red Army just passed through this grassland, and there were Kuomintang cavalry and horse bandits chasing the soldiers of the Red Army everywhere. To put it bluntly, the atmosphere in the entire plain was extremely tense, and there were four Red Army soldiers hidden in his tribe. If they were revealed, the consequences would be extremely serious. Although he thought in his heart that the Three-Eyed Cat would not have a quarrel with him just because of a few Red Army soldiers, this was a troublesome thing after all. If you are not afraid of 10, just be afraid of 10, why should you be slaughtered by the other party in vain? So, he sent his confidant to hide Xiang Fuli at the first time, and sent Dawang to dress up Zhang Qingshan and the other three as the three tribesmen, and squeezed them together with the tribesmen. The absolutely clever hidden means, which is what everyone calls dark under the light.
Of course, a special reminder point: he did not send someone to order the clan members not to say Zhang Qingshan and the other four. Because there is no need for the clan members to hate the devil who has come to suck blood every year. It’s just that the other party is powerful and everyone dares to be angry but not speak out. With his majesty and the people’s love for him, who will, or who dares to inform and become a traitor?
When it comes to the relationship between the Three-eyed Cat and its forces behind it and the Lausanne tribe, that era was a bit far away.
If Sun Zhiping saw the three-eyed cats mentioned by the Lausanne people now, he would definitely be surprised to find that this guy was the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion who was chasing the Red Army with hundreds of cavalry everywhere on the nameless hillside? Then, it is easy to infer that the power behind the Three-eyed cats must be inseparable from the cavalry regiment. Perhaps there are bigger figures behind it, but the cavalry who came forward to contact Lausanne directly was the cavalry regiment. Think about it, it was also true that in this cavalry regiment. On such a rare plain, cavalry is the most normal existence, and only the cavalry of the government can contact Lausanne, which represents the Tibetan forces, so that they will not be abnormal.
On the other hand, if the two join forces, they can definitely control large tracts and monopolize many ways. If the two do not have any dirty tricks under cooperation, that would be a strange thing.
The Lausanne tribe lived here for generations, and it was the largest local force, and it was the aristocratic territory recognized by the government and the Tibetans. Although it has gradually faded over the past decade, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. With the support of Tibetan aristocrats, it is naturally the first candidate for the group represented by the Three-eyed Cat in choosing cooperation partners.
At that time, Luosang's father was in power, but his father was a scheming figure. He just kept his mind and was unwilling to contact people outside the Tibetans. Therefore, the consequences of his detention were naturally obvious and even said that the horse bandits in this Yi were so rampant and spread so quickly that there was no force like the Three-eyed Cat behind the scenes, and naturally they wanted to deal with Luosang's father.
However, Lausanne is different. He has accepted modern civilization and seen the world. He naturally knows how to use various local advantages to make the poor tribe rich. For this reason, he used all means and even did not hesitate to openly contact the Red Army in order to obtain weapons. He was safe and sound afterwards and was not held accountable by the government at least not being held accountable by the government on the surface. From this we can see that Lausanne's courage can be regarded as bold, and his ability is obviously very great.
Since Lausanne became the patriarch five years ago, the two sides have started to contact each other, which can be said to be a coincidence. The horse bandits were naturally restrained, just to control Lausanne. Therefore, the largest horse bandits were always staying next to the Lausanne tribe, but never continued to grow. Of course, the proximity of the territory and the power of the Three-eyed Cats had to remind him from time to time to time, or to control the Lausanne tribe to grow too quickly, it can be seen from the point where they strictly control the weapon input of the Lausanne tribe. This bandits and the Lausanne tribe naturally could not be safe first, but the degree of expansion was naturally controlled, so the Lausanne tribe would set the bottom line on the Sacrifice Mountain like a breath of breath.
Lausanne knew that the tribe wanted to get rid of this situation where people were secretly controlled, and what they lacked most now was weapons and ammunition. For this reason, he would risk sending a caravan to the Han people to do business, so the caravan was robbed or even openly disobeyed roads. To put it bluntly, everyone was playing for their own interests.
Just when Lausanne was about to hang himself for his weapons, the Red Army came, and Lausanne received the Red Army in a desperate manner.
The forces behind Lausanne and the Three-eyed Cat cooperate naturally for the sake of profit.
This plain is deserted and the land is fertile, but the weather is strange. With storms and hail, it is difficult to survive in planting anything. That is, the place where the Lausanne tribe is located. Due to the climate, it rarely encounters severe weather such as storms. Instead, it is a good place to grow barley or even wheat. Moreover, because of the abundant water and grass around it, the animal husbandry industry is very prosperous.
Everyone knows that smuggling requires avoiding crowded places to be safe. But although the Lausanne tribe is located in a remote place, it is naturally the paradise of smuggling. The Lausanne tribe is too important, and the absolute transit station is: except for the northwest, it is well-connected and the distance is suitable. There are people here, which can not only crack down on smuggling by hostile forces, but also ensure the smooth flow of their own smuggling channels. This is destined that those smuggling groups need to criticize people to station here, but this is remote, and ordinary people can not bear this pain. If the army is stationed, there will be no title. Moreover, forcibly driving the Lausanne tribe will be hated and revenge by the Tibetans, which makes them unable to send people to station here for a long time. Therefore, after Lausanne takes the initiative to make good wishes with them, the Lausanne tribe is destined not to be destroyed by others.
Lausanne is not only aristocrat, but also a representative of the Tibetans in the local area. It can be said that it is also an official force. In any aspect, it is much stronger than changing people to come here. Therefore, it is difficult for two official forces to contact each other and not cooperate to gain this huge profit.
At the same time, the Lausanne tribe had to provide cattle and sheep for the army, and had to train Tibetan mastiffs for those nobles. In addition, they had to cooperate with other forces to get involved in various interests, and various forces were quarreling with each other and checking and balanced each other, so no one dared to eat the Lausanne tribe easily. Otherwise, if you really think that others are blind, you can openly let you contact the Red Army and then charge you some benefits and let you go? The famous saying of Lao Jiang, "It's better to kill three thousand by mistake than let one go", was made of bloody human heads. Of course, this can also show how powerful and courageous the forces that cooperate with the Lausanne tribe are.
"Old Peng, you have brought so many brothers to you, and you are sincerely trying to defeat me! I will tell you that when I am eaten by you, I will take my tribe members to your commander. Then, don't say you don't know your third brother."
When the other party approached, Lausanne took Dawang and a few guards forward, learning the meeting ceremony of the Han people, holding his fists and saying hello from this title, it can be seen that the two of them are very familiar with each other.
Battalion Commander Peng and Luosang, who were called the Three-Eyed Cat, were not polite, and threw the whip to their guards. After dismounting, they also hugged their fists and laughed as they walked over: "Ha! Ha! Third Brother, you still love to joke with brothers, brother, I am here to give you a gift."
As they said that, the two hugged each other warmly, and it seemed that this was a personal relationship. In fact, this was a signal that they could start trading, and everyone knew it well.
Without the instructions of the two leaders, the subordinates were already familiar with each other: Dawang immediately took a large number of tribe members to check the goods. The same is true for the other party. When they met, they still said something intimately, patting the other party on the shoulder, or handing the wine on their bodies to the other party for a few sips of wine. Of course, in the middle, checking the goods, and on both sides, they were both sides warning them to be black and black.
This is also the reason why the forces behind Sanyan Cat come to the Lausanne tribe at least twice a year: in order to hand over the goods to be smuggled and the things that were asked last time, such as salt and medicine, to the Lausanne tribe, the transit station, and then wait for the smuggling caravans to come here, Lausanne is responsible for the transaction, and then the smugglers smuggled the goods to various places.
When I go back, I will settle the goods that Lausanne wants to smuggle through their channels and the money from the previous transaction, and some of them need to be offered, such as Tibetan mastiffs or other things that the big man calls for. Of course, it is autumn now, and it is the time to harvest cattle and sheep, so I naturally have to take them back.
In order to prevent the other party from committing fraud or eating bad things, it is necessary to count them in person. The two of them just stood beside him and chatted. For this reason, neither of them said anything like sitting down to drink tea and eating mats. It can be seen how fake this enthusiasm is, which is mixed with too many interest factors.
After standing for two hours, after their confidants came to report and confirmed the number clearly, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned to their previous exaggerated laughter.
"Old Peng, go! Go! Let's go! Let's go in and have a meal while talking about last time we met you more than two months ago. You don't know how much the third brother misses you this time. If you want to give your third brother face, don't say anything. You must stay with him for a few days first and get drunk with your third brother for three days and three nights."
Luosang said while laughing and dragged him into the village, but he didn't forget to turn around and shout at Dawang, asking his brothers to eat and drink well. The three-eyed cat smiled and nodded, and was about to say something, but suddenly remembered something, and stopped walking and said to Luosang with a smile: "From my memory, I almost forgot. By the way, third brother, I have something to do, I have to worry about you."
Lausanne was shocked: Here comes!
