After Qin Dewei finished in Lieyu, the reason why he did not return to Dinghaiwei but still went to Shuangyu Island was to keep it secret.
After all, on the sea, as long as you keep a close eye on the ships at the pier and strictly prohibit anyone from going out to sea at will, the news on the island will not spread to the land.
When Qin Dewei landed on Shuangyu Island again, he had no special feelings, but Xu Weixue beside him was trembling with excitement.
He really didn't expect that his "Island Owner's Dream" would come true so soon. This island flowing with silver would soon be under his own management.
Of course, Xu Weixue also knew very well that all glory goes to Qin Zhongtang, the dreamer!
Qin Dewei reminded: "Do you know what is your most important task at the moment?"
Xu Weixue replied smoothly: "Whatever the Zhongtang said is what it is!" Qin Dewei: "..."
This sentence is not meant to test anything, but a serious question! Not every word he Qin Zhongtang says is to test loyalty and test people's hearts!
Xu Weixue was very confused, why did Qin Zhongtang look so dissatisfied? His answer should be the standard answer?
Qin Dewei directly instructed: "Your most important task at the moment is to get Shuangyu Island back into operation as soon as possible and return it to normal, at least on the surface it should look the same as usual!"
General Lu Ti, who was temporarily staying on Shuangyu Island, welcomed him and reported on the screening of the prisoners on Shuangyu Island.
"Sure enough, Zhongtang knew everything. After repeated interrogations and mutual testimonies, we found among the prisoners people sent by the wealthy families of Ningbo City, and they had only landed on the island recently.
However, these people only said they were here to traffic goods and did not admit anything else. Could you please tell me whether it is necessary to continue the interrogation?"
Lu Boring's meaning is very clear. If Qin Zhongtang is interested, should he do something about "submitting a blow to make a move"?
Qin Dewei nodded and ordered: "Bring them all over and let me ask them in person!"
After a while, five or six people were tied up in front of Qin Zhongtang. There were people from the Yang family, Lu family, and Zhang family, but the Tu family was missing. I don’t know why.
They were all little people. Qin Dewei didn't even bother to ask for their names and said directly: "You'd better recruit them. I know what you are here for."
"We are smuggling goods and just plead guilty." Someone from the Yang family replied. Qin Dewei sneered: "Do you really think I don't understand? You are all here to contact the Japanese pirates!
And I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get in touch, so I sent several teams of people to take a multi-pronged approach and try several more channels to make sure I could get in touch.”
"Don't try to smear someone's innocence in court. Failure to produce evidence is the same as slander." The person who answered was still a member of the Yang family.
Qin Dewei said domineeringly: "I generally don't need evidence to decide a matter! Does this court still understand your tricks?"
You just want to find two larger groups of Japanese pirates. One will land to attract the officers and soldiers, and you should be welcomed in a remote harbor; the other will secretly attack the empty Ningbo City, and the other should open the door and let you in!"
Everyone: "."
Why is Qin Zhongtang so clear? Could it be that Qin Zhongtang can calculate what he says and what he says will become the truth?
The inner secrets of these wealthy captives were suddenly exposed, their faces suddenly turned pale, and their hearts felt like boiling water.
Qin Dewei finally said to these prisoners: "I know everything, so if you don't admit it, what's the point? If you are recruited, you can be dealt with lightly and your family will not be harmed!"
Then he said to Lu Ti: "Continue the interrogation. If you don't admit it, we will wait until we get ashore and arrest their family members for interrogation."
Qin Zhongtang did things so neatly and neatly, he solved another matter in three strokes, five divisions and two divisions.
Then Qin Zhongtang looked at the West Island opposite, silent, thinking about how to use it.
Dong Island is the main territory of Shuangyu Island. Both the Ming Dynasty and the Folangji people are entrenched on the East Island, while the smaller West Island is occupied by nearly a thousand Japanese people.
Previously, the ships were burned and the narrow channel was blocked. These Japanese were trapped and died on the West Island.
After that, Qin Zhongtang did not give any further instructions and just let him go.
I left the Western Island Japanese alone, and no one else knew what kind of medicine Qin Zhongtang was selling in the gourd.
Xu Shi'an came over, stood next to Qin Dewei and said deeply: "I think that if these few people only confess unilaterally, it will not sway the wealthy families. They can completely argue that it is fabricated slander.
So it’s not enough for you to surrender like this. You lack a chain of evidence.”
Qin Dewei said in surprise: "You, Xu Laosan, can also teach me how to do things?"
Xu Shi'an patted his chest and said, "You lend me five hundred officers and soldiers, and I'll take care of it all for you!"
"What do you want to do?" Qin Dewei was curious.
Xu Laosan said excitedly: "I have a brilliant idea! If I can find out the contact information through interrogation, and find a way to instigate one or two people to rebel, I can lead 500 officers and soldiers to pretend to be Japanese pirates, and make an appointment with the shore on a time to do it."
After landing, no matter who is on the shore to support and guide me, I will capture it on the spot! Then I go to Ningbo Mansion, no matter who opens the city gate, I will capture it on the spot!
This way we have facts as evidence, and we can’t deny them even if we want to!”
Qin Dewei asked casually: "Why are you pretending to be a Japanese pirate? Even the hairstyle is not similar."
Xu Laosan pointed to the west island opposite: "Can't we just hire a few people to decorate the facade? Besides, everyone else can wrap their heads with cloth, just to prevent being discovered."
Qin Dewei was greatly surprised. It was hard to say whether this idea would be successful. The key was that Xu Laosan could use his brain and it was decent.
"Then you go and give it a try. No matter whether it works or not, just practice." Naturally, Qin Dewei would not dampen Xu Laosan's enthusiasm and directly agreed.
Xu Shi'an was very happy and said with a smile: "I feel like I have suddenly enlightened, and now my mind is probably as good as yours!"
For the sake of his brother-in-law, Qin Zhongtang did not throw Xu Laosan into the sea to feed the fish, but turned around and continued to look at the West Island.
Xu Shi'an couldn't help but ask again: "What are you doing standing here watching Xi Dao? What are you going to do with those Japanese people?"
Qin Dewei sighed: "The eradication of the bandits on Shuangyu Island has become a thing of the past. Now I am thinking about how to fight against the Japanese pirates who are about to come!"
Xu Shian said very clearly: "Do you want to kill all the Japanese on the West Island and then repay your merits as Japanese pirates?"
Qin Dewei was speechless. It was a good thing that Xu Shian was making progress, but was he progressing too fast?
"I was wondering if I could use these Japanese people, even if there are only one or two hundred of them." Qin Dewei still expressed his thoughts.
Xu Laosan said in confusion: "What do you use them for?"
Qin Dewei replied: "Whenever Japanese pirates come from across the sea, when they reach the East China Sea, they must first look for supplies and inquire about land information before they invade the land.
These places that provided supplies to Japanese pirates were the various islands in the East China Sea. These islands have long become lawless places, regardless of whether the people along the coast are in ruins or not.
Shuangyu Island is no exception, especially there are nearly a thousand Japanese on the West Island, so under normal circumstances, there will definitely be many Japanese pirates arriving on the West Island, and then setting off after supplies. What I want is, if there are some Japanese who can be used by me
, when the Japanese pirates came, these Japanese people would act as a facade to greet the Japanese pirates, so that the Japanese pirates would not notice anything strange, and they could board the West Island with peace of mind as in the past.
And then arrange in advance on the West Island, hide a group of officers and soldiers, and raid the Japanese pirates who land on the island, isn't it equivalent to catching a turtle in a urn?
As long as the news has not spread, Japanese pirates will continue to come to the island, and then we can continue to catch turtles in the jar, and at least several large groups of Japanese pirates can be eliminated."
Xu Shi'an suddenly realized, "No wonder you told Xu Wei that the most important task at the moment is to return Shuangyu Island to normal as soon as possible. At least it should not look strange on the surface. It turns out that it is also to confuse the Japanese pirates who come to supply and sell stolen goods!"
Xu Shi'an then changed his subject and suggested: "Why bother? We can achieve our goal by ambushing good warships on the internal channel of Shuangyu Island.
When the Japanese pirate ships arrive, wouldn't it be easier to block the front and rear paths and burn the boats directly, allowing the Japanese pirates to sink into the sea?
Why let the Japanese pirates go ashore? It would be more difficult for officers and soldiers to deal with them on the ground, and the casualties would definitely be greater."
Qin Zhongtang said disdainfully: "You, Xu Laosan, are still too small, and your vision is too short-sighted after all!
Do you know what military training is? Aren’t these batches of Japanese pirates who have landed ashore the best training targets?"
What Qin Zhongtang was thinking was to let Qi Jiguang and his son take the recruited Yiwu soldiers and station them on the west island of Shuangyu Island in turns, and practice with the Japanese pirates who landed on the island.
As long as you make good plans and hire the right people, you can stay at the back and be more relaxed.
Qin Dewei said with a smile: "How is it? Do you know what it means to plan for big things? In comparison, your little tricks can't be put on the table, and you still dare to be as smart as me?"
Xu Laosan said nonchalantly: "Yes, yes, your mind is stronger than mine, so what? You are worthy of being proud?"
