"Miss Cretia, you haven't left?" Zhong Lishi asked.
Credia put her arms around Zhong Xiaoying's neck and said to them: "You have to thank Xiaoying..." Zhong Xiaoying wiped her eyes that were red from crying, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"I must get to the bottom of the matter about Vestri. I have already told my father, and he promised that I can stay here until he comes back from Japan." Credia said, "Please let me help.
.”
"Okay." Zhong Lishi nodded. It's good in his mind. Having the sufferer as a witness will be more convincing than his own unilateral investigation.
"Come on, let's go home." Zhong Lishi said. He suddenly realized that he had let something slip - there was another guest here, so he quickly added, "...well, let's go back to the customs." He asked again.
Cretia: "You should stay in the business hotel. The rooms there are still available. We will bear the expenses."
"No, doctor, I'd better go back to the customs to live - if you don't mind, I want to live with Xiaoying: I hope to learn Mandarin day and night." She said, "I hope to continue Westley's studies
, continue to learn from you.”
Dr. Zhong was greatly moved. This girl had never shown any interest in science, but now she suddenly had such a desire, apparently to "carry on the legacy."
Regardless of the era and culture, people with a strong will will always be respected. Zhong Lishi couldn't help but be in awe.
"Okay, I will definitely do my best to impart knowledge to you."
"Then what do we do now?"
"Well... let's do something very important to life and science now - have breakfast."
Xue Ziliang on Jeju Island received an order from Bei Wei: the entire unit immediately moved to Kaohsiung.
Although the order only contained one simple sentence, the elders on Jeju Island all knew that dealing with Zheng Zhilong was on the agenda.
Kaohsiung originally had a detachment: the Qianshui Association detachment. The special reconnaissance team is "the sharpest sword of the Senate." It is important to assign one detachment to one direction. Now that there are two detachments, the purpose is obvious.
Feng Zongze breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, this shows that the attention of the Senate has been diverted from Jeju Island. Of course, Jeju Island has contributed a lot of cattle and horses to the Senate. Especially cattle, they have been shipped to Hainan and Taiwan in large quantities.
to support agricultural development. Although the horses are still being "inventoryed and restored," the Army's first combat light cavalry squadron has been formally established in Jeju Island. The first all-mule-horse artillery company that does not need to replace animals to lose soldiers
and the first cavalry artillery company are also being formed.
Feng Zongze knew through his friends in Lingao that the Army was very satisfied with the work on Jeju Island. Especially Dongmen Chuiyu. At the meeting of the General Staff, he talked about Jeju Island’s experience in forming a security force as “very good”. On the small Jeju Island,
However, the local population of more than 30,000 has already contributed 600 soldiers of the White Horse Army. Now two of their companies have been shipped to Kaohsiung, undertaking a large number of simple but important collaborative tasks: sentry, patrol, and maintaining order.
, they also act as laborers when necessary... and become an important local internal defense force. This greatly reduces the pressure on the northbound detachment.
In addition to the bonus points for the Army, the active activities of the Gwanglei Sect, and the research reports that Du Wen continued to issue after he went to Jeju for research. These reports were published either in "Morning Star" or "Lingao Times"
.It also gave him many opportunities to show a positive image of the Jeju Front Committee.
Here on Jeju Island, the Lee Dynasty showed no sign of launching a counterattack. Xue Ziliang commanded the detachment to cross the sea and conduct several powerful reconnaissances. The whole process was like a leisurely stroll. In the longest time, Xue Ziliang led more than ten people to patrol more than half of Jeolla.
It took more than half a month to conduct surveying, mapping and reconnaissance work on the roads and docks in the coastal areas of Jeolla Province. During this period, hundreds of Korean soldiers and civilians were killed: from officials and Yangban to soldiers and Xiangyong. Several fortresses were captured. This caused the entire
Martial law was imposed in Jeolla Province, and finally the entire team returned to Jeju Island safe and sound. Not only were there no casualties, not even many bullets were used.
This operation completely dispelled Feng Zongze and others' concerns about the Li Dynasty's counterattack: considering the Li Dynasty's grassroots control level and tragic social and financial situation, it is really difficult to imagine that they can gather enough counterattack forces and support this campaign.
There are various signs that Feng Zongze, the chief executive of Jeju Island, has survived the current crisis. In order to further gain the support of the Senate, he cooperated with Zhu Mingxia to secretly select suitable maids from the Korean people of Jeju Island in accordance with the maid scoring standards established by the General Office.
A girl is preparing to be sent to a maid school.
Although there are very few Korean women on Jeju Island who can catch the eyes of the elders, after all, with a population of tens of thousands, and a somewhat exotic atmosphere - it would be great to have the elders. Even if you can only choose a few in the end
, and also fully demonstrated that as a foreign officer like him, he "always thinks about what the elders think."
The Jeju Island Front Committee held a banquet in Jeju to send off Xue Ziliang. After the lively meeting, Xue Ziliang took his troops and equipment and moved to Kaohsiung on the h800 transport ship.
As soon as he disembarked from the ship, before he had even sat down to warm up, he received the second order: "Rest for three days. The team will immediately begin island landing and urban assault combat education."
This order was too obvious. Xue Ziliang thought that this was a clear intention to kill Zheng Zhilong.
Although in formal procedures, as a unit commander, he has no right to interfere with specific strategic decisions. But at Fengshan Fort - this is the army's base in Kaohsiung, and the special reconnaissance team headquarters is located at the foot of Fengshan - he and Qian Shui
The association had a full exchange of views.
"This is no secret among the senators in Kaohsiung." Qian Shuixie said, "The Senate does have this intention."
Xue Ziliang was a little curious: "Why did you suddenly think of attacking Zheng Zhilong? Haven't we passed through the Taiwan Strait harmlessly for a long time?"
Qian Shuixie chuckled: "You don't know about the Sarajevo incident a few days ago, right?"
Xue Ziliang asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
So Qian Shuixie told him the murder of Westley in detail. Xue Ziliang shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "Is this looking for death?"
"That's right." Qian Shuixie said, "Although the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, it is clear that Lao Zheng sent people to do it. It turns out that this is nothing. It just killed a Dutch boy. Besides, do the Dutch believe it or not?
It doesn't matter whether we kill them or not - unless they no longer intend to do business with us. It's just that the people in the Senate feel that they have always been wise and powerful, so they can't bear this anger. Even if they don't kill Lao Zheng this time.
It’s enough for him to drink a pot.”
He then expressed his opinion: "I think it's time to eat this piece of meat."
Xue Ziliang whistled lightly: "It seems we will be busy soon."
Xu Xu was struggling at this time: if he wanted to investigate further, he would have to go deep into Jinjiang County to find Lin Shimao - this was the only clue they had now.
But landing on the mainland requires going deep into the interior, which is not easy. Zheng Zhilong's hometown, Anping City, is located in Jinjiang County. Jinjiang is Zheng Zhilong's innermost territory.
Zheng Zhilong would get the news as soon as he showed up in Jinjiang, an outsider who was unfamiliar with the place and spoke with a strange accent. This was called falling into a trap.
They didn't even know where Lin Shimao's casino was. But according to Li Shun's explanation, it was outside Beiguanxiang, the county seat. This kind of casino has neither a name nor a reputation. Without an acquaintance to recommend it, they might not even be able to find it. Of course, this is a matter of course.
As long as the Intelligence Bureau's intelligence network in Quanzhou and other places is used: the Shanhailianglu system outlets can provide necessary intelligence support, and it is not a problem to find out the specific addresses and people's activities. But to "thoroughly find out the truth", we must
I saw Lin Shimao and asked for a confession.
After much deliberation, the only option for this matter was to have the special investigation team act like Feng Fu again and go to Jinjiang County to "take out the blanket" for Boss Lin Shimao Lin and kidnap him directly to Kaohsiung for interrogation.
Xu Xu immediately sent a message to Lingao and reported his thoughts to Jiangshan. Jiangshan soon called back and expressed his agreement to use the intelligence network to collect relevant information. Xu Xu immediately issued specific instructions to the Shanhai Road intelligence network system in Quanzhou.
.
A few days later, a traffic officer followed a fishing boat from Quanzhou to Kaohsiung and sent detailed information.
Lin Shimao, who is allowed to investigate, is a local touba in Jinjiang - in modern terms, he is the leader of the underworld. He mainly runs a casino and a pawn shop. The casino is just outside the Beiguanxiang of the county seat. This person not only runs the casino, but also maintains a group of thugs.
.Dedicated to providing paid services to people. Whether they are injured, maimed or killed depends on how much the employer is willing to spend. In addition, Lin Shimao's other main business is to sell stolen goods for pirates and sell various contraband.
Therefore, he has always been closely associated with pirate merchants.
After Zheng Zhilong occupied Anping, Lin Shimao was not a formal subordinate of the Zheng family. He was equivalent to the "guorenzhong" in Japan's Warring States period: he could maintain a certain degree of independence, but once his services were needed, he could never refuse.
But in recent months, Lin Shimao has not had any contact with anyone from the Zheng family. He is basically doing his old job: opening casinos and selling stolen goods. He is not only an outsider in the system that the Zheng family is building, but also
Not to mention how important it is.
Xu Xu thought: The Zheng family probably did not have direct contact with him - there were people coming and going in the casino, so they only needed to send someone to deliver a letter to him.
The intelligence agent also sent a detailed map of Jinjiang County, which marked the detailed locations of Lin Shimao's residence, casino and other "business establishments". It also provided his daily activity routes and life patterns. Xu Xu felt that there was some
This is enough to carry out the kidnapping plan.
But he was also a little worried. Since Lin Shimao and the Zheng family had a long history of collusion, would his sudden disappearance at this moment cause the Zheng family to be alert?
Then he thought about it, whether the Zheng family was alert or not, their fate was already doomed. Thinking of this, he shouted: "Get the car ready, I'm going to Fengshan Fort!"
