Chapter 893 Follow the clues

In fact, Huang Tao is indeed right. This matter involves the three yamen of Zhejiang, namely, the Zhejiang Commandery Department, the Prosecution Department, and the Jinyiwei Department. The situation is quite complicated. When those three people visited, they did not explain the cause and effect very clearly.

, Huang Tao and Wei Shan both believed that they suffered a lot of losses in the process of Zhoushan's change of ownership, so they were so jealous of Haihan, and they did not hesitate to use some unconventional means to retaliate against Haihan.

Qian Tiandun listened silently and began to check various information in his mind that had been provided by the intelligence personnel of the Ministry of Security. Qian Tiandun had heard about Yu Pingfeng, the Zhejiang Dusi Qian, because the Zhoushan Boat Gang was very important in the officialdom.

This person is the main backer of the government. After Wang Jialin was arrested, he also confessed his interest disputes with this person. The property seized by Haihan on Zhoushan Island, belonging to this Lord Qian Shi, was worth more than 50,000 taels of silver, and Zhoushan

The filial piety sent by the boat gang every year is at least more than ten thousand taels of silver. As the saying goes, cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents. With such a hatred, and there is nothing you can do against the Haihan people on the surface, naturally you have to think of some underhanded trick to carry it out.

Revenge was taken.

However, for what reasons the other two people participated in this matter, Qian Tiandun believes that it is necessary to collect more information through the Ministry of Security. Anyway, Wang Jialin is still detained on Zhoushan Island and he can be interrogated at any time. If Guo Zheng and Liao Xun

The two of them had an interest relationship with the Zhoushan Boat Gang, and they would find out once Wang Jialin was brought up and asked.

The remaining question is when, where and how this group plans to strike. Unfortunately, Wei Shan has clearly rejected the other party's invitation, otherwise Qian Tiandun really wants to arrange for him to join this group.

There is an undercover agent inside to provide more detailed information.

Judging from the information provided by Wei Shan, Liao Xun, a member of the Jinyiwei Hundreds, collected information about some merchants who had obtained franchise rights through the Zhoushan Investment Promotion Association, and planned to target this group to intercept and kill them at sea. In fact, the Zhoushan Investment Promotion Association will be intercepted by those who want to

Qian Tiandun and the Ministry of Security were mentally prepared for sneaking in to collect intelligence. This kind of thing could not be completely banned, because the people who went to the island to work as spies may not be professionals like Jin Yiwei, and they were most likely to be

Ordinary people would never be able to find out the special missions these people have by just relying on cross-examination.

As for the reason why this group of people went to Shaoxing Prefecture to discuss with Wei Shan, Qian Tiandun believed that firstly, they could no longer trust the garrison in Ningbo Prefecture. After all, the attitude of the garrison here was clearly on Haihan's side. Secondly, because

Ningbo is too close to Zhoushan. To plunder at sea, some ships must be dispatched. There are often Haihan warships patrolling the waters around Zhoushan Island. It will be great fun if they are hit. The location of the attack is within Hangzhou Bay. Success

The probability will be much greater. Moreover, Linshan Acropolis is located on the seaside. The goods and personnel intercepted after the incident can be disposed of through the special channel of the military. It is indeed safer than finding a wild road on the East China Sea.

many.

Qian Tiandun pondered: "They came from Hangzhou, of course, because it was inconvenient to find people to do this in Hangzhou. Now the hope of Ningbo and Shaoxing has basically been cut off, so there is only Jiaxing Prefecture in Hangzhou Bay."

Already."

"Hainingwei!" Huang Tao and Wei Shan responded in unison.

There are only four prefectures in Zhejiang that are adjacent to Hangzhou Bay: Hangzhou Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Ningbo Prefecture. Yu Pingfeng and others wanted to find local health stations, but they just tried to find solutions from these places.

.Hangzhou Prefecture is the administrative seat of Zhejiang Province. There is too much noise from the local garrison to do anything. However, the Ningbo garrison has changed its position, so the only places they can try are Linshan Guard in Shaoxing Prefecture and Haining Guard in Jiaxing Prefecture in the north.

Of course, in theory, they can still go to the Jinshan Guards in Songjiang Prefecture, but Songjiang Prefecture is no longer under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, and the official identities of Yu Pingfeng and others may not be of much use there. Moreover, the Jinshan Guards are far away,

It is difficult to keep the news flowing, and it is not suitable for this kind of maritime interception operation that requires timeliness of intelligence.

"Two adults, can you briefly introduce the situation of Hainingwei to me?" Qian Tiandun saw that the two men had already paved the way, so he followed the conversation and asked.

Haining Guard is in the north, Linshan Guard is in the south, and Guanhai Guard is in the south. There is only a piece of Hangzhou Bay between them. The distance is quite close, and they all belong to the same guard system. They still have a certain understanding of each other. These two people are even connected to the Hangzhou group.

Having said all the things, he naturally no longer felt coy about this kind of thing, and he readily told Qian Tiandun what he knew about the situation.

After the few people talked about business, Qian Tiandun ordered people to prepare lunch. Although the beach was deserted and there was no kitchen stove, with Haihan's financial and material resources, it was not difficult to move a mobile kitchen in advance.

Among Haihan's diplomatic methods, banquets are definitely an extremely important part. The Haihan-style banquet combines Eastern and Western cooking methods and various seasonings, plus exquisite glass tableware, which is both delicious and stylish.

It is difficult for anyone to resist such an unconventional attack.

Wei Shan and Huang Tao were no exception. Just seeing the table full of glasses, bowls and plates, their eyes lit up. The chopsticks they used were also made of ivory. Although they did not use more expensive gold and silverware as tableware,

But it has a different meaning. Legend has it that the Haihan people are extremely wealthy and are very particular about enjoyment. The two of them have seen it today.

At the dinner table, Qian Tiandun no longer mentioned the previous things, but talked about various interesting anecdotes. Although he was not known for his eloquence, after all, he had hundreds of years of experience, which he used to fool the two conductors.

It's still enough.

After they were full of wine and food, Qian Tiandun had the banquet removed and served some fruit desserts for digestion. Qian Tiandun warmly invited the two of them to visit Zhoushan Island when they were free. In the future, if they had time, they could also go to the south.

He went to Sanya to see the real Haihan city. He knew very well that no matter how much he boasted about his own strength, it would not have as strong an intuitive visual impact. With so many Ming officials who were willing to cooperate with Haihan, and even surrendered to Haihan, which one

It wasn’t until I witnessed Haihan’s strength that I was convinced.

Before the two left, they finally saw the legendary Haihan giant ship on the beach. This big ship puffed out white smoke and passed by the sea south of Jintang Island at an incredible high speed. This was naturally Qian Tiandun's

In order to allow the guests to see clearly, the ship's route is also relatively close to the coast, and even the gun windows on the ship's side can be seen clearly.

The visual impact of the majesty-class warships is absolutely unprecedented in the Far East in this era. Even those European warships from thousands of miles away are still huge in tonnage compared to such giant ships built by Haihan.

The gap. Moreover, the unique steam-powered propulsion system allows this kind of warship to sail far faster at sea than other sailing ships of the same period. In the eyes of people who are not familiar with it, this kind of ship is simply a giant on the sea.

Monster.

Almost as soon as they saw the ship, Wei Shan and Huang Tao understood why Qianhu Ma Ling of Shipusuo, the Changguo Guard, who was the first to come into contact with the Haihan people, chose to cooperate with the Haihan people without hesitation. Normal people saw

The appearance of this giant ship will probably make everyone lose the courage to resist. If he were in the same situation, he probably wouldn't make any other choice.

"To be honest with you two adults, we are going to build a shipyard on Zhoushan Island next, and we will also build such large ships locally in the future." Qian Tiandun introduced to the two of them with a smile: "This kind of ship is used for maintenance.

The tranquility on the East China Sea is really suitable, what do you two adults think?"

"Yes, yes, General Qian's words make sense..." Huang Tao reluctantly responded, but his expression was not very good. Of course, he would not think that this ship happened to pass by here. The Haihan people obviously wanted to do this.

Demonstration. But in the face of such a sea monster, even if you are dissatisfied, you can only hold it in. Who makes the Ming Navy have no large warships that can match it?

After seeing off the two resentful Ming officials, Qian Tiandun immediately returned to Zhoushan by boat. Although he appeared very relaxed in front of Wei and Huang, Qian Tiandun would not despise the situation reported by them. At present, the sea

Han's layout in Zhejiang has just started. If it encounters targeted sabotage at this time, it is indeed likely to affect the Zhejiang market that it has finally opened.

Although the information provided by Wei and Huang is important, it is not detailed enough, and there are many missing and incomplete details. At present, it can only be made up for by Haihan's own intelligence collection methods. In this regard, Qian Tiandun is quite useful to Haihan's security department.

With full trust, in the more than two months since the departure from Fujian, the intelligence support work provided by the Ministry of Security has never let the military down.

Qian Tiandun called Gong Qiqi to his office, told him the general story of the matter, and then asked for his opinion.

Gong Shiqi thought for a while and then responded: "My subordinates think that we should take a two-pronged approach. One is to immediately interrogate Wang Jialin and others, asking about his relationship with those Ming officials, as well as other people who have interests in the Zhoushan Ship Gang.

Officials, maybe there were people in Hainingwei who profited from Zhoushan in the past. Secondly, they should take the initiative to go to Hangzhou and Jiaxing to inquire about the information. Although Zhoushan is independent from the Ming Dynasty, it is also a self-enclosed place.

In this small world, news is not as smooth as on the mainland. We can only obtain some incomplete information through merchants, so the reference value is limited."

Qian Tiandun said: "You are an expert in intelligence work. Since you have already thought about what to do, then implement it according to your ideas. I have only one request. After finding out the situation, do not alert the snake and report the news as soon as possible.

I hope I can lay out a good situation for them before they take action, do you understand what I mean?"

Gong Shiqi responded: "The leader wants to invite you to enter the urn."

"That's right." Qian Tiandun nodded and said: "This kind of hidden danger should be eliminated as completely as possible. At the same time, we should also let those who secretly have our ideas correct their attitude as soon as possible."

Gong Qi Qi has been working in the Ministry of Security for five or six years, so he naturally understands what Qian Tiandun means by "being more thorough" and "correcting your attitude." As the leader who directs the field team's operations all year round, Gong Qi Qi is very happy

Return to your old job in Zhejiang and do something better than sitting indoors sorting out information.

After Gong Qi Qi left Qian Tiandun's office, he immediately went to a mountain col to the west of Dinghai Fort, where Wang Jialin and other leaders of the Zhoushan Boat Gang were imprisoned. Gong Qi Qi now needed to extract more benefits from them

Information about the relevant persons. This matter cannot be delayed at all. Gong Shiqi is in no mood to be patient with these criminals. Just in case, Gong Ping and Gong Yuan are summoned by two torture experts.

Stand by, and if someone refuses to cooperate, take necessary coercive measures immediately.

However, Gong Shiqi's worries are obviously unnecessary. The heroes of the Jianghu have been passively accepting psychological offensives and brainwashing day and night since they were imprisoned. They have long realized that the situation is over. How can they still think about continuing to fight Haihan now? Many people are counting on it.

Being able to provide information in exchange for their freedom. A few guys wished they could report all the officials in the officialdom they had known since childhood. Unfortunately, most of the officials they knew were low-ranking government servants.

There are very few people who have interacted with officials at the county level or above.

Only a few people such as Wang Jialin can really come into contact with government officials. And due to their sensitive identities, they have very few opportunities to deal with officials face-to-face. Most of the time, they only communicate with their official backers through intermediaries or letters.

Keep in touch. Wang Jialin has cooperated with Yu Pingfeng for several years, and the two parties only meet once every one or two years. In terms of conversation and exchange time, the total time spent together is not even as much as the time spent with Gong, who is presiding over him.

Seventeen says a lot.

However, this interrogation was not fruitless. At least the reasons why Liao Xun and Guo Zheng were involved were clearly explained by Wang Jialin - these two people had also invested in the shares two years ago under the introduction of Yu Pingfeng.

Of course, it is also a dry stock that does not require any capital investment. If we use Haihan's terminology, it is a technical investment.

However, the two of them do not just collect money and do nothing. One of them is in the Procuratorate and the other is in Jinyiwei. They can provide quite a lot of convenience to the Zhoushan Boat Gang. Although they have to give them a lot of money every year, but

Wang Jialin is also willing to spend more money to buy these two insurances. If something happens on the shore, at least there are two people in the government who can come forward to protect him. Of course, now he has been captured by the Haihan people, Ming Dynasty

Officials have no protective shield at all.

But Wang Jialin claimed that he had no previous contacts with Haining Guard, whom Gong Shiqi was concerned about. This was not because he had a high vision and looked down on the local guard station, but because Haining Guard had other supporting armed forces, and there was no need for the Zhoushan Boat Gang to go.

Join in the fun.

"Ma Teng, who is known as Mamianyu on Qushan Island in the north, is said to be related to Commander Ma of Hainingwei." Wang Jialin provided information that the Ministry of Security had not had before.
