"... Qiu Qiu has been the captain for six months and has carried out seventy-two river missions. During this period, our Pukou dock and ships were repeatedly investigated and harassed by him. At midnight on October 4 this year, we torpedoed our Balutu
No. 1 destroyer, resulting in the death of more than ten of our officers and soldiers. The Puppet Ming Navy Ministry commended it and awarded it a 'Plum Blossom Medal'..."
"Oh haha, it turns out she is the daughter of Duke Qiu of Nanjing. Sorry, I'm disrespectful." The old major put down the medal he had been playing with for a long time and put on an authentic Nanjing accent with a smile. "Since Miss Qiu is from Nanjing, then we should use the name of your hometown.
Let’s talk, it’ll be easier.”
"Ah, it turns out you're not...it turns out you are..." Qiu Qiu looked at the old major who changed his accent like a magic trick in surprise.
The old major looked at the effect of this move with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"Haha, this is unfair, isn't it? Okay, let's get to know each other."
"I," the old major pointed to his nose with a smile, "my name is Nima Shan, and I am the branch director of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Office, oh, the 'sticky place' you mentioned, in Pukou."
"His name," he pointed to the hook-nosed officer, "is called Tojin, and he is an old adjutant."
Tuojin smiled and cupped his hands at Qiu Qiu.
Qiu Qiu lowered her eyes as if she had been electrocuted. All the "sticky areas" were controlled by the bannermen, which she should have thought of earlier.
Nima Shan nodded slightly and smiled elegantly:
"Haha, 'Qiuqiu' means Qiu Shui, which is a good name. 'Grasshopper' means 'I am afraid that the grasshopper boat in Shuangxi will not be able to carry it, and there will be many sorrows.' Well, there is also an origin. It is rare that the names of people and boats are very similar.
Elegance... Alas, what a pity, now the boat has turned into a pile of scrap metal, beyond recognition. As a human being, you should take care of yourself, don't...ah? Hahaha... What do you think, Tojin, let's start then
Bar?"
Tojin quickly handed over his hands, sat behind the writing desk, spread out paper and pen, and prepared to record.
After one hour.
…
"Master Ni! Master Ni! Are you okay? Don't be angry. Don't be angry. I'll take care of her right away..."
Tuojin shouted loudly to Nima Shan, who was slumped on the sofa, opened his mouth with force, poured a pill from a small medicine bottle, and stuffed it under the old man's tongue.
"Um……"
The old man snorted weakly and opened his eyelids slightly. As soon as he saw Qiu Qiu opposite him, he immediately became angry again and raised his hand to point at her tremblingly:
"You...you ask her...to say it again..."
"Hey," Tuojin turned around and yelled at Qiu Qiu, "Master Ni, I want to ask you for the last time, who is the person on the periscope? What is the mission? Who will you meet when you go ashore? Tell me! If you don't behave honestly, I will kill you!!"
"What I said is true..." Qiu Qiu huddled in the sofa aggrievedly, moving left and right, "...that person really fell from the sky..."
Nima Shan's lips trembled and his voice trembled as he said:
"Okay...you still..."
Then he leaned towards the sofa, pretending to be angry and fainting again.
"Master Ni! Master Ni, don't be so angry. She is angry with you on purpose. You can't do it..." Tuojin quickly rubbed her chest and gave her water, "Let's give her a punishment. Let's give her a big punishment right away..."
"
"No... no..." Nima Shan gasped and grabbed his hand, "Tojin, you can't... you can't use torture... you know... just now, we... just reported the matter to Beijing
, 'Fourteen Gege' called me personally and told me..."
"What, sir," Tojin said in surprise, "'Fourteen Princesses' called you personally?"
"Yes," Nima Shanlao's eyes flashed with excitement, "she personally... told me... this is... this is the first time our Qing Dynasty... captured Nanming submarine personnel alive... the political significance is greater than... the military
The meaning is... to use them for... propaganda, so they cannot... be tortured..."
Fourteen squares?
When Qiu Qiu was at Ningbo Naval University, he heard many legends about the "Fourteen Princesses" of the Qing Dynasty.
According to the most popular version, she is the daughter of a certain king of the Qing Dynasty. She was trained by the Japanese secret service since she was a child. She only returned to China in the past two years. Unlike other Qing royal families, her photos have never been published.
Newspapers and her whereabouts are also quite mysterious. Not many people even know her name, how old she is, whether she is "Heshuo" or "Doro", and what generation she is in the clan. They just call her "Fourteen Gege" according to what others say.
She is the current head of the "Sticking Stick Department".
Some people even say that this "Fourteen Gege" is not a person at all, but just a code name.
Since the "Fourteen Princess" personally called from Beijing to inquire, it means that his "case" has reached a certain level. At least the twelve girls will not be treated as ordinary female prisoners. Before being taken to Beijing,
She probably won't be hurt. During this hour, apart from coercion, pounding the table and benches, intimidation, and harsh words, these two people didn't touch her even a hair, which is the best proof. Think of it this way.
With that, Qiu Qiu felt much more at ease.
"But..." Nima Shan regained his breath, stared at her, and said with a sinister smile, "The meaning behind the words of 'Fourteen Geges', we... can give them... use some incomprehensible words.
Traces were revealed... and they were asked to say... the unspeakable... special criminal law, hehe... Tojin, do you understand?"
Tuojin had probably been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He looked at Qiu Qiu obscenely and said with a smile:
"Haha, she is so thoughtful, I understand her humble position..."
Wait, what do you mean? What did the old woman want them to do? Qiu Qiu looked at the two of them guiltily, her heart that had just been relieved started beating wildly again, and her body instinctively shrank into the sofa. Before she could shrink into a ball, Qiu Qiu screamed.
He screamed and was dragged to the floor by Tojin.
Nima pointed to the door of the office next door with her eyes and said with a smile:
"Get her there, don't... don't be too impatient, the important thing is... let her talk."
"Don't worry!"
Tuojin nodded with a smile, grabbed Qiu Qiu's arm anxiously, and dragged her along the floor regardless of her cries and struggles. He used his lower back to push open the door of the next office, threw her in first, and then dodged it himself.
Go in and close the door.
…
"Hmph..." Nima Shan stroked his chest and felt relieved. He admired the crying coming from next door and smiled cruelly.
At this moment, a sharp phone ring came from next door.
This call came just in time.
The commotion next door subsided, and Tojin was breathing heavily while answering the phone. Nima Shan listened with his ears perked up. After a while, the door opened, and Tojin flashed at the door and shouted excitedly:
"Sir, the gendarmerie called and said that a soldier at the dock was knocked unconscious and his clothes, documents and gun were taken away!"
