Chapter 430 Opening the Net
As the prestigious intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty, the strength of Jin Yiwei should not be underestimated. Although the acting skills of Jin Yiwei who pretended to be common people in this wine shop were not very qualified, Gong Shiqi did not look down upon them at all. The employees of this yamen
The vast majority of them have real abilities, especially the grassroots personnel who perform lurking, tracking, arresting and other tasks outside. There are very few people who have nothing to do with them. It is precisely because Gong Shiqi is not sure of dealing with these people that he specially
He sent people back to bring in reinforcements. However, the helpless young master Li San actually claimed that he could help him in this matter. Naturally, Gong Shiqi would not believe it easily.
Li Nai said with a calm look on his face: "Captain Gong, don't worry, I have already discussed a perfect plan with Boss He!"
"A foolproof strategy?" Gong Shiqi looked unconvinced. He was going to attack the Imperial Guards in Guangzhou City. How could there be any foolproof strategy for this kind of beheading?
"Captain Gong, please tell your people not to rush into action later. I have my own way." Li Nai did not go into details and directly showed He Xi's warrant to Gong Shiqi.
Gong Shiqi saw clearly that the content of the warrant was to ask him to cooperate with Li Nai in this operation and to protect Li Nai's personal safety. Since it was He Xi's personal order, Gong Shiqi had no choice but to comply and let him
Someone went to notify several other people who were performing surveillance tasks outside the wine shop.
After about half an hour, the door of the wine shop finally opened. The five people who had entered before filed out. After looking around for no movement, they headed south.
"Let's go up and have a look." Li Nai shook his folding fan and followed him slowly. Gong Shiqi also threw down the firewood and followed Li Nai. He really wanted to see her delicate body and noble body.
How will Young Master Li San deal with these wolf-like and tiger-like guards?
Just after passing through a street corner, Gong Shiqi saw a stall standing on the street in front of him. Several people loudly solicited people coming and going: "Take a look! Haihan immigrants are well-paid and have food."
Take care of your wages and enjoy your life without worries!"
When the Jin Yiwei who were pretending to be civilians approached, someone came forward and handed them a few flyers. The content on them was nothing more than promoting the Haihan immigration policy. In the past, such immigration propaganda points were mostly outside the city.
It was extremely rare for someone to appear in the city. As soon as Gong Shiqi saw this posture, he guessed that this must be the arrangement of the Li family. The publicity personnel and promotional materials were all ready-made, so he could just bring them to the city to set up a stall.
Several Jin Yiwei obviously hesitated for a while, but in the end they did not stop in front of this stall and continued to move south. When Gong Shiqi saw Li Nai, he did not show any disappointment at all, and still looked confident.
He probably had something to follow, so he was not in a hurry to ask and continued to follow quietly.
Sure enough, at almost every intersection he passed, there were stalls soliciting immigrants, and propaganda methods were endless. Gong Shiqi finally couldn't help but catch up a few steps and asked Li Nai: "Looking at this arrangement, it should have been done in advance.
Sir, how did the third young master know that they would go to the south of the city?"
"I don't know which direction they will go." Li Nai shook his head and said, "So I arranged them in the four directions, southeast, northwest, and there were about thirty or forty stalls in total, with more than two hundred people participating."
Gong Shiqi was immediately stunned and speechless. He arranged so many publicity points in a very short period of time. This method can only be used by local snakes like the Li family. Fortunately, Li Nai could come up with such an idea. The five
Although Ming Jinyiwei did not show interest in this kind of street solicitation at first, as they encountered more and more publicity, these people gradually began to show signs of hesitation. Near an immigration recruitment point before leaving the city
, these people saw a group of immigrants that had been recruited at the scene, and couldn't help but stepped forward to consult.
Gong Shiqi's nerves immediately became tense. If these Jinyi guards found something wrong, it would definitely arouse their vigilance. If they tried to use similar methods to lure the enemy again, it would not work.
Li Nai said easily: "Captain Gong, don't worry, these people don't know the inside story. What they know is that for every immigrant they recruit today, they will get one penny. As for those immigrants, of course they are all genuine."
of."
Gong Shiqi suddenly said: "The third young master's trick is really powerful! If they want to sneak into Victory Port quietly, it is probably the easiest way to become immigrants."
"But they probably won't choose to be immigrants." Li Nai shook his head and said: "Although immigration status is easy to use, the process of verifying identity is very strict. These people must have identity tokens and weapons on their bodies, and they cannot enter the immigration team at all.
.”
"Then if that's the case, why does the third young master go to such trouble to set up these publicity points?" Gong Shiqi asked puzzledly.
"In order to build momentum, let these people know about Haihan's immigration policy, so that they will no longer be so picky when choosing other ways to hide their identity." Li Nai said calmly.
"Is there any other way?" Gong Shiqi now felt that the young master Li San in front of him was not a scholar who only studied books, but the methods he used were one after another.
"The front is the foreshadowing, and the back is the real drama." Seeing that the five people had already left the city gate, the relaxed expression on Li Nai's face finally stopped, and he quickened his pace.
Just outside the south gate of Guangzhou is the Pearl River Wharf. There are many hotels, shops and warehouses here, which has led to the development of transportation, catering, entertainment and other industries. Three religions and nine streams are everywhere here. It can be said to be the most prosperous area outside Guangzhou.
.However, today’s situation seems to be a little different from usual. There are many stalls recruiting sailors and crew members on the street.
There are many conspicuous signs on both sides of the street, such as "Urgently recruiting several crew members. We will set sail south today, and the treatment will be generous."
It doesn’t matter whether you have experience or not, you can get your first month’s salary upon joining”, “Urgently hiring permanent staff in Sanya, Qiongzhou, making a thousand taels per year is no longer a dream” and other billboards, some of which have not even had the ink on them completely dry.
through.
In front of these stalls, more or less people gathered. Even Gong Shiqi, who was used to seeing the prosperity of this place, was dumbfounded. As for the Jin Yiwei, they had already dispersed to different recruitment points.
Went to inquire about the conditions.
Gong Shiqi was stunned for a long time, and then said to Li Nai: "The Third Young Master's move is indeed powerful, I'm going to accept it! But what if these people don't plan to find a way to go to Sanya immediately?"
"There's nothing to lose! The executive committee has recently entrusted me to increase the recruitment of sailors. Even if we can't recruit these people, it would be good to recruit a group of professionals and send them to Sanya. This whole thing
We set up all the recruitment points on the street, and no matter which company they go to, they will eventually get on our boat!" Li Nai said with a smile. He noticed that one of the people under surveillance seemed to be interested in a certain company's recruitment.
With strong interest, I sat down at a roadside stall and started talking in detail.
Gong Shiqi now had to admire Li Nai's methods. Compared with recruiting immigrants, the entry conditions for sailors were obviously more relaxed. There was no need to verify personal status or check luggage. Outsiders wanted to sneak in without anyone noticing.
Sneaking into Sanya is undoubtedly the best way. When the time comes for these Jin Yiwei to get on the ship and sail away from Guangzhou, they will become meat on the chopping board and at their own mercy.
Gong Shiqi made a gesture, and the surrounding field team members immediately dispersed and went to monitor the target persons. Seeing the dust settle, Li Nai smiled and said to Gong Shiqi: "Captain Gong, if there is nothing wrong,
Well, then we might as well go sit in the nearby teahouse and wait for the news!"
Not long after the two sat in the teahouse, news began to come back one after another. The target tasks all had obvious Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents, which basically confirmed the possibility of coming from Nanjing. The five people split up and made two tasks.
team and joined two different shipping companies - of course, these two shipping companies are actually industries under the name of the Li family. They will set off from the Pearl River Pier the day after tomorrow as crew members and head to their destination, Sanya.
"Today's events are all planned and implemented by the third young master. When I go back next time, I will report it to the boss and ask for credit for the third young master!" At this time, Gong Shiqi finally let go of his hanging heart.
Li Nai waved his hand and said: "There's no need to ask for credit. I'm not one of your internal staff, so this credit will be of no use to me. When you go back, tell Boss He, don't forget the ten boxes of 'Sanya Special Brew' you owe me, and give it to me as soon as possible."
I'll send it over."
The "Sanya special brew" Li Nai refers to is actually rum produced in the Sanya area. Once this distilled liquor made from sugar cane molasses was launched, it was well received for its sweet taste. Due to the Haihan Controlled Area
The sugar cane production capacity in Sanya is still relatively limited, and most of it is used to make cane sugar. Therefore, the output of this "Sanya Special Brew" is not large, and it is not even publicly sold on the market. There are only "Furuifeng"
Only with close connections can we obtain a small amount of survival products from within Haihan. And its price on the market is also much higher than that of ordinary liquor because of its rare stock. At an auction last month, twelve bottles per box
The "Sanya Special Wine" even sold for a sky-high price of one thousand taels of silver.
Gong Shiqi bowed in agreement, and then said: "These recruitment stalls arranged by the Third Young Master will be set up for a few more days."
"Why is this?" Li Nai asked with some surprise. Although setting up these stalls does not cost much money, the manpower occupied cannot be ignored. In order to set up such a dragnet, "Fu Ruifeng" set up various stalls in and outside Guangzhou.
Almost 90% of the employees were deployed, and even the shops were closed. The impact on the Li family's business cannot be ignored.
"Although we know that there is such a group of people with evil intentions, we don't know their detailed number and division of labor. We also don't know if there are others besides the five people today. We need to wait for two more days to avoid slipping through the net.
Fish!" Gong Shiqi was not dazzled by the victory in front of him, and still clearly remembered his mission.
Li Nai nodded and said: "In that case, we will follow what Captain Gong said."
In fact, Gong Shiqi's follow-up plan is longer, and the surveillance of the Jinyiwei contact point will have to continue for at least half a month. The alarm will be lifted only after the matter is determined to be over. However, Li Nai's plan is indeed
Helped Gong Qiqi solve the problem of manpower shortage. As long as the five target persons are on the ship, the field team of the General Office of the People's Republic of China will not need to come forward for the rest. The Navy has always arranged for someone to be responsible for armed escort, and Lijiazhuang
At least one company of naval mobile forces can be mobilized, and it will obviously be easier for them to handle this kind of thing.
That night Gong Shiqi returned to the Guangdong Office and reported the action process and results to He Xi. At the end, he did not forget to mention Li Nai's ten boxes of "Sanya Special Brew". He Xi smiled and said: "Li Nai is just a
It's for the ten boxes of wine. I will arrange for someone to deliver it to his house tomorrow. Pick a smart guy among the guys who participated in the operation today and go to Panyu early tomorrow morning. Tell Xiao Liang what happened there and help him.
He handled it well."
Gong Shiqi knew that the purpose of sending people there was not just to deliver a message, but more importantly to identify the person, so as not to escape the target during the arrest, so he immediately responded and deployed his men.
The next day was uneventful. The Li family's recruitment stall continued to recruit migrant workers under various names in and outside the city. On the morning of the third day, He Xi personally traveled with Gong Shiqi to witness this crucial step at the Pearl River Pier.
.
According to the time agreed during the recruitment, the five target persons should report to the dock this morning. When He Xi and Gong Shiqi arrived at the dock with their people, the person in charge of surveillance came over to report the news, saying that
Several people had already boarded the two merchant ships to which they had fled.
"These guys are quite proactive!" He Xi smiled and said, "We can rest assured when the ship leaves the dock."
An hour later, two merchant ships carrying Jinyiwei spies slowly left the Pearl River Pier and headed south along the river. He Xi stood up and patted his butt and said: "Let's go, our matter is finally over.
Go back to the Garrison Office in Guangdong and send a telegram to tell Lijiazhuang that the target has set off!"
As Gong Shiqi and others discovered, the five people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who visited the wine shop that day were indeed Jinyiwei from Fusi, Nanzhen. The leader of the team was a man from a hundred households named Li Qingyang. The task he was given
They are going to the Yazhou area to investigate what kind of group the Haihan people are that appear there. However, this operation is different from the past. Their team will not deal with the Guangzhou Jinyiwei organization, but will find their own way after arriving in Guangzhou.
Cross the sea and go south to Yazhou, sneaking into the local area to investigate and collect evidence.
Li Qingyang was not particularly sure why his boss had such a strange arrangement. His duty was to obey and execute orders, not to ask for reasons. After receiving the order, he led his team south, and after living outside Guangzhou for a day, he went into the city to meet with
Nanzhen Fusi got in touch with the local secret police.
