But even if the most conservative estimate is that there will be no direct losses to everyone, it is likely that the matter will end like this.
The matter of providing intelligence to the pirates is over, so what's the next step?
If you want to comply with the Roman plan, I'm afraid there will be problems. At that point, things will still be very serious!
This is obviously enough for everyone to pay attention to, but are there any other hidden dangers?
Then all four pairs of eyes looked at Pei Ji, all of them a little nervous, but Pei Ji only smiled.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Brothers, you are underestimating Pei. The information on this matter is indeed a few days late. However, this is information from the palace, and it is directly related to Li Er. We need to find an informant to directly report Li Er's status.
, it’s not easy, and it’s even more difficult to convey it in time, but it doesn’t matter.”
"The information for these heroes on the sea was collected from various government offices in the Tang Dynasty. This is extremely fast!"
When Pei Ji said this, everyone was immediately delighted!
The four old faces with tight wrinkles all relaxed in an instant, and everyone seemed to be relieved. Then, as if they were afraid that the meaning was not conveyed accurately enough, these old guys were still worried, so Pei Ji continued with a smile.
, "If all the information is really not received in time, then the heroes on the sea in recent days would have been in trouble long ago. How can we not be as happy as we are waiting for today? Hahahahahaha!"
After Pei Ji finished speaking, Wang Jing and others thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
If there was really a problem with the intelligence, these pirates would have been washed away by Li Er's warship. Everyone is celebrating today. These people are having a good time at sea.
In this case, you can rest assured!
For a time, everyone's worries disappeared, and the fun of silk and bamboo became more and more lively.
The banquet on this day is basically a "celebration banquet".
At the end of the night, Wang Jing thought of business and felt that it must be discussed early, so he looked at a few people and said, "By the way, brothers, we have provided intelligence to the heroes at sea, and this matter has been done flawlessly and with great results."
Well, since the situation is so good, why don't we take a further step?"
As soon as Wang Jing finished speaking, although the several old men were drunk, they still had the capacity to drink as celebrities, and their heads were kept sober, and they immediately realized what Wang Jing was talking about.
——The thing is very simple. Since this wave of intelligence work "to serve the Romans" has been so successful, can it be used further?
Although the information gathering went smoothly this time, and the results seemed to be achieved quietly, but behind the scenes, as Pei Ji said, it still cost a lot of money.
Informants are not easily found by domestic servants. They all cost money. In some places, they cost a lot of money.
The simplest example is what everyone just talked about. The intelligence in the palace is the one that spends the most money - it is still "one" instead of one. In other words, the information must be obtained in time to facilitate the pirates to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army.
, this in itself is actually a big deal, even if the Romans made certain preparations and saved some costs.
And since it is such a huge secret activity.
Although the effect has been achieved, there is no need to think about it now. As for the Romans, their monarch must be very happy, and the brothers may be appointed officials in a matter of minutes - but after all, this matter cost a lot of money, and for the current Wang Jing and others
For people, the cost is still quite high.
Then you have to find something to make up for it and come back!
How to make up for it specifically is the focus of this discussion. Wang Jing's words are still very literate and full of implications, but everyone knows what he means - can this information be used for something else? If it can
If so, then maybe not only will you not spend any money this time, but you will also make a lot of money. For the current Five Surnames and Qiwang, this is still very important.
And everyone thought so.
Although they had to make up for this idea because of the high cost, Wang Pei and others were very excited at this time.
Because although the current situation of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is not good, they have even become the Five Surnames and Five Hopes. It can be said that the losses are relatively heavy.
but!
This time the intelligence work was a complete success, but it was a real success. Everyone was encouraged and did not feel embarrassed anymore. To put it bluntly, there was still a sense of pride and pride in their hearts.
But the problem is also real. How to operate this? A group of old people looked at me and I looked at you. After thinking about it for a long time, there is really no way out. After all, intelligence.
Obviously there are not many people who need this information.
One is a Roman, the other is the nearest pirate, and nothing else.
As for the Japanese in the Southeast Asian countries, this actually counts, but it cannot be counted because there is one fundamental difference between these groups and the Romans and pirates.
They have actual bases in the waters near China!
One is that they are near China, and the other is that they have a hometown. They have these two elements, but the Romans or pirates do not.
The Romans had their own hometown, but it was not near China. The pirates had no fixed residence. Now with the support of the Romans and more and more convenient commerce, they simply made their home everywhere.
This means that Li Tang's army has no way to deal with the pirates and Romans. They are both elusive and far away from each other. But what about the Japanese and Southeast Asians? It's different.
No matter how these two people use the information after they get it, it is very likely that Li Tang's warship will be directly detained in the end - which will be a big trouble!
Of course, Li Tang's army can now be shut down, but Wang Jing and others have also seen that Li Er not only organized the army and practiced martial arts, but also had the "benevolent" personality of Emperor Wen.
In other words, we need both territorial merit and reputation. Therefore, we will not take action against the Japanese and Southeast Island immediately, but this is temporary after all. Once Li Tang finds an excuse, no one can say what will happen.
what.
For this reason, although the Southeast Asians and Japanese have no culture, they still have a basic desire to survive. Even if these two people get information, they obviously don't dare to do anything!
Tianzhu seems to be a little further away. Compared with Southeast Diao, which is right at the door of Shenzhou and is easily attacked directly, it seems safer, but it is not reliable either.
Although Tianzhu is far away, as time goes by, the route from China to Tianzhu has become more mature than ever, and merchants can sail their ships there with their eyes closed.
Then, selling the information to Tianzhu will not work.
Everyone thought for a moment that this matter was really serious!
But at this moment, Wang Jing suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Maybe we can use this information ourselves."
