Patrol Team

Chapter 1205 Patrol Team

Han Zhengshan looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw a lot of big ships parked on the opposite bank of the bay, but the distance between them was far away, and the shapes of those ships could not be seen clearly.He has seen the majesty of the Haihan Fleet at Hangzhou City Head and Zhoushan Dinghai Port. Since this is the headquarters of the Haihan Navy, and it is also the capital city of the Haihan Kingdom, the size of the fleet stationed here can also be imagined. And know.

Zheng Gao pointed to the south again and said, "Have you seen the gray and white buildings on the hillside at the Yulin Peninsula at the exit of the harbor? That is the fort that guards the access channel of Shengli Port. There is also the same facility at Sanya Port. This fort It took several years of repairs before it was completed. I don’t know how many guns are on it, but I heard from the director that with these coastal defense batteries, even if an enemy army of the same level as the Haihan Fleet came to attack the port, they would have to lose all of them. In this place!"

Han Zhengshan looked at the Yulin Peninsula in the distance, and indeed he could see some orderly buildings among the mountains and forests, but if it wasn't for Zheng Gao's guidance, he probably wouldn't have thought that those buildings turned out to be coastal defense forts specially built beside the waterway.This Shengli Port seems to be not strictly guarded, but in fact it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The defense methods are not weak, and even stronger than the Hangzhou city he stayed in before-if there is a similar defense outside the city of Hangzhou. Why did the coastal defense fort let the Haihan warship cut off the Qiantang River, and set up camp on the riverside outside the city safely.

Zheng Gao went on to say: "There are at least several thousand soldiers stationed near Sanya, including the Haihan, Navy, and Army. If you want to invade Sanya from the outside, it may be more difficult than climbing to the sky!"

Han Zhengshan asked curiously: "Since the opening of the port, has it really suffered from foreign attacks?"

Zheng Gao thought for a while before saying: "I heard that when the chiefs first arrived here, they were attacked twice by the Ming army and Japanese pirates, but they were easily defeated by the chiefs. After that, there has been no foreign invasion However, the means of defense must not be neglected, if there is no army protection, how many pirates will be summoned to plunder this place."

Sanya is known as the No. [-] port in the South China Sea. The scale of commercial trade is huge. The amount of wealth circulating in the market every day is astronomical. I don’t know how many people are secretly jealous, but the Haihan Army is famous in the South China Sea. They want to make a decision Those who come here naturally have to weigh their weight first, whether they really have the capital to challenge Haihan.Judging from the current record, all attempts to challenge Haihan's status in the South China Sea have failed, and there has been no opponent that can truly threaten Sanya's security.

Continuing to walk towards the port area for a while, Han Zhengshan's eyes suddenly became straight, staring at a huge mountain-like ship docked on the coast in front of him, speechless.Zheng Gao has seen this kind of reaction a lot. Almost everyone who comes to Shengli Port for the first time will have a similar performance when they see the "New World" docked at the mouth of the Tiandu River. Such a large ship is very difficult for ordinary people. It is an unimaginable existence, not to mention that this ship is not made of wood, but the whole body is made of steel.

Although the New World has basically not moved since entering the port, its significance is no less than another local spiritual symbol, Victory Fort. For the travelers, this ship is a relic of another time and space, and For ordinary people, this is one of the specific examples that fully demonstrates the omnipotence and omnipotence of the chiefs.

"This is the boat that the chiefs took when they crossed the sea to come here. With this boat, there is Sanya where you are now, and today's Haihan Kingdom!" Zheng Gao was also quite proud when he introduced it. After all, even Daming couldn't make this thing, it is unique in the world.

"In the world...there is such a big ship! Seeing it today, I will know that the rumors are true!" Han Zhengshan had heard the rumors of the Haihan Iron Ship a long time ago, and he was skeptical before witnessing it with his own eyes, but seeing this big guy today After that, he inevitably sighed like everyone who saw the ship for the first time, but he soon discovered something strange: "If this ship is made of fine iron, how can it float on the water? How did you cross the sea without sails and paddles?"

Zheng Gao explained: "I know a thing or two about this. Putting a copper basin on water can also float. It is said that this big iron boat is based on the same principle. As for how to drive it, there is actually a big dark hole under the boat. oars, far faster than a sailing ship when it is launched."

Han Zhengshan was half-believing when he heard this, and when he wanted to ask further questions, Zheng Gao was afraid that he would not be able to answer his questions about his knowledge of half a tank of water, so he hurriedly asked him to silence his voice and go on patrol, Han Zhengshan could only suppress the questions in his head first go back.

Han Zhengshan soon discovered that the job of this patrolman looked prestigious, but in fact it was not easy. He had to manage many more things than Daming's yamen servants, not to mention ordinary public security disputes. This boss lost Maoxi Even if the family runs away, the dog will come to them for help, and even those foreign businessmen who cannot settle their accounts after local consumption must find them to uphold justice.If many things were put in the past, Han Zhengshan probably wouldn't even pay attention to them and let his subordinates chase them away, but now he has to follow Haihan's handling method and patiently settle these trivial matters.

However, through these opportunities to communicate with the people, Han Zhengshan also quickly learned about the basic conditions of Haihan society.For Daming, Haihan can only be regarded as a "young" small country, but the social system of this country is in the same line as that of Daming, and the culture of the Han people still dominates here. Han Zhengshan quickly found a familiar place here. a feeling of.But on top of this, it is filled with a variety of exotic customs, and there are many things that make Han Zhengshan feel fresh.

According to Han Zhengshan's intuitive understanding, this is a country ruled by Han civilization. Haihan people also consider themselves descendants of Han people, and their language and writing are similar to those of Ming Dynasty. However, about [-]% of the citizens are not Han people. ethnic composition.However, the laws of Haihan Kingdom do not distinguish between races, only the difference between citizens and non-citizens, and there are obvious differences between the two in terms of social status, welfare benefits, personal prospects, etc., which is also new. The main reason why immigrants try to obtain citizenship quickly through routes such as enlistment.

No matter which country or ethnicity they were originally from, as long as they obtain Haihan citizenship, they are equal in law and will not receive special preferential treatment or encounter discrimination because of ethnic affiliation. Although it is difficult to achieve this, But Hai Han did a good job.Han Zhengshan already knew from Zheng Gao that the young high-ranking official Fu Li who took care of him a lot during the training period was from a village of the Li nationality near Sanya.

If it was placed in the Ming Dynasty in the past, even if a person like Fu Li could inherit the lord of Lidong, the government would at most give it to a hundred households or inspectors, and would not really entrust him with important responsibilities.However, Haihan spent resources to cultivate him into a talent, and he became an official in a serious manner, which is almost unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty's environment.

Li people, Miao people and other ethnic groups with low social status in Daming can get a promotion channel in Haihan. Han Zhengshan naturally has more confidence in his own prospects. At any rate, his working experience and professional experience far exceed These colleagues who have become monks halfway, as long as they understand Haihan's officialdom in the future, they will definitely have a chance to succeed in time.

Because a lot of time was spent on the way to deal with affairs, the patrol team only walked through three piers in one morning, not even half of the Victory Port area.However, the food at noon was good. Although the place to eat was only the sailors' cafeteria on the pier, because he was busy all morning, his stomach was already empty, and Han Zhengshan found it particularly delicious.Compared with the food in the hard labor camp and on the way to the south, Han Zhengshan already felt that there was nothing to be picky about the treatment here.After all, he has just started his internship and has no stable income yet, so he can't go to the nearby high-end restaurants to enjoy more advanced food for the time being.

After lunch, Zheng Gao picked up the rattan helmet on the table and gave the order to set off.The patrol route in the afternoon is to continue westward along the coastline of the port area until turning back at the Victory Port Shipyard.

"How is it? Is your physical strength okay?" Zheng Gao didn't forget to take care of the newcomer. After all, this intern is relatively old and may not be able to survive a full day of patrolling.

"I have no problem with my subordinates." Han Zhengshan replied very straightforwardly. His physical training during the training base was not in vain. Although this kind of walking patrol is very exhausting, but he just had a full meal, and he can last for a long time. no problem.Moreover, this kind of task of patrolling the streets is also familiar to him, and there is no such thing as mental stress that leads to excessive physical exertion.

In this afternoon, Han Zhengshan finally encountered his first public security case during his internship.Two thieves turned into a warehouse through the vent, and picked up two boxes of goods from it. They wanted to pretend to be dock laborers and leave with the goods swaggeringly, but the foreman on the dock saw through their identities.Finally, under the combined efforts of dock workers and sailors, they were forced into a warehouse.At this time, the patrol team led by Zheng Gao happened to be patrolling here, so he took over the job logically.

"What kind of goods are stored in the warehouse? Are there any flammable items?" Zheng Gao did not rush to order his men to rush in, but first guarded the only exit, and then called the warehouse guards to ask about the goods piled inside. situation.

Han Zhengshan originally thought that Zheng Gao was making a big fuss, so he just rushed in and caught the two thieves, so why was he wasting time at the door, but the answer he got later made him understand the importance of following the operating procedures.

The goods stored in this warehouse will not be flammable or explosive, but they are still very dangerous--[-] sets of infantry armor and hundreds of shields, which will be delivered to An Nanguo this month, Long guns, waist knives, and two hundred brand new [-]-style flintlock guns are all stored in this warehouse.It is no exaggeration to say that the weapons inside are enough to arm an army of about a thousand people.

The only good news is that following the principle of separate transportation of bullets, the supporting ammunition for the two hundred rifles is not stored here. Even if the thief knows how to use a flintlock, there is no way to use the stock in the warehouse.

Considering that it would be dangerous to enter a warehouse with poor lighting conditions, Zheng Gao decided to persuade him to surrender first, and asked the dock foreman to find a tin horn. Roaring at the top of my throat, it is considered a very common tool.

"Listen, people inside, you have been surrounded by the police, come out and surrender immediately!" After getting the horn, Zheng Gao stood at the door of the warehouse and began to shout to the inside.

After shouting several times, there was a vague response from the warehouse: "Go to Nima, I just came out of the hard labor camp, even if I die, I won't go back to that place again!"

Han Zhengshan's heart trembled when he heard it. Although he had been out of that terrible environment for more than a month, sometimes when he was free, his arm would still unconsciously make a movement of knocking stones.The roar in the warehouse reminded him of the fear of being dominated by the labor task of knocking stones. Although he didn't know what the people inside had committed before, he could completely understand how he felt about the hard labor camp. of.

With a pale face, Zheng Gao put the tin horn into the hands of the people next to him: "I don't want to drink a toast, I don't want to go back to the hard labor camp... Then they will be fulfilled! Someone, go and inform the port infantry team and let them come and deal with it." !"

Although there are security agencies such as police stations in the port area, there are also small groups of armed forces stationed in the port area by the army in case of special situations.This can be regarded as the army's emergency and quick response force, but it is not dispatched often, and generally only when the police cannot handle it, or when there are high-risk tasks, it is the turn of the port infantry team to come forward.

Of course, when it was the infantry team's turn to come forward, the severity of the incident would also escalate. If someone tried to confront the infantry team, they would basically be courting death on their own initiative.Although Zheng Gao had a pistol in his hand, the others only had wooden batons. If the two suspects armed themselves with the weapons in stock, the risk of going in and arresting them was quite high.

"Captain, why don't you let your subordinates go in first?" Han Zhengshan saw such an opportunity, but he refused to let it go.He is an old Jianghu who has worked hard in the front line of criminal investigation for many years, and it is not a fluke that he was able to sit on the position of head arrester in Hangzhou Mansion. He was actually promoted by his own merit.He personally captured all kinds of thieves and snitches in the past. There are dozens of them in total, and there are many kung fu masters among them, and they are all under his hands.Right now, he only wanted to catch two thieves who were stuck in the warehouse at the end of their lives. He thought he had a great chance of success, and he could give it a go.

"Can you do it?" Zheng Gao re-examined Han Zhengshan with suspicious eyes. This is a new intern on the first day of work, and he has the courage to apply for an attack, which really makes him look at it with admiration.
