Chapter 1399 Interests Determine Position
As an important insider, Ma Bo's betrayal will save a lot of time for Hai Han's investigation and arrest.Under Ma Bo's identification, three other accomplices mixed in with the immigrants were also picked out.So far, Haihan has captured eight refugees with suspicious identities from the immigration camp. These people are surrounded and have nowhere to escape, and they don’t have any weapons on them. Resistance is futile for them, so there are basically no encounters during the arrest process. When there was too much resistance, all these people were easily taken down.
However, Zeng Xiaowen did not withdraw his troops at this point. His task was not only to arrest suspects, but also to complete a relatively thorough cleanup of the immigration camp, especially the barracks where the refugees lived. He even asked the soldiers to search every inch. , Even the quilt and bed board cannot be let go.These Daming intelligence officers who sneaked into the immigration camp did not come here to eat and wait to die. Apart from scouting for information, waiting for opportunities to sabotage or even assassinate them was also part of their mission.
Sure enough, the soldiers who searched the barracks quickly found several daggers from the bunks of these people, and the standard size was uniform, which once again proved that another identity of these people came from the same organization.In addition to the daggers carried by these people, this search also turned up a lot of messy things from the barracks: flint, a small hammer used to knock stones, a homemade bamboo knife, Even found two scythes - God knows how these things got in there.
Zeng Xiaowen frowned secretly when he saw these prohibited objects. It seemed that the dishonest ones were not limited to just a few spies caught. In this mixed immigration camp, there were quite a lot of restless people.Obviously, Ma Bo did not fulfill his duties in security management, so he gave these people the opportunity to hide their weapons.Of course, this dereliction of duty is basically negligible compared to his current charges.
Although the investigation of outsiders in Majiazhuang was somewhat stumbling, it was carried out unshakably under the personal supervision of Chen Yixin.Compared with the well-targeted arrests in Mabo's house and immigration camps, it is not so easy to check the outsiders in Majiazhuang. People who belong to different bosses and merchants are not all like Ma's The people in Zhuangzhuang are equally obedient, many of them are even trade representatives appointed by some senior officials of the Shandong government, and their sense of awe of Haihan is far less strong than that of the local people.For them, Haihan's unannounced investigation is a very disrespectful behavior, and the unconditional obedience arrangement demanded by the Haihan people is even more difficult for them to accept.
For these merchants from Daming, it is difficult for Haihan to punish them with charges of collusion with the government, because many of them represent the interests of people in the Ming government.And private armed forces here also have a limited acquiescence. After all, money and valuable goods need to travel long distances to reach the destination. effective guarantee.These armed personnel were only restricted from carrying weapons openly after they entered the Haihan occupied area, but in fact, because the management is too difficult, the Haihan military is not particularly strict about this.
For these merchants, they actually took a relatively large risk when they came to Haihan's occupied area to do business.Judging from the current situation, although the two countries have not completely broken their faces, the military confrontation has always existed. Strictly speaking, the territory of Fushan County can be regarded as an enemy-occupied area. Once something happens, the backers behind them will not be able to do much. direct effect.If one day Haihan suddenly turned his face, these businessmen would most likely lose all their money, and even their lives would be in danger.Therefore, they are particularly sensitive to Haihan's abnormal movements. Today, after finding out that the Haihan army blocked Majiazhuang, many businessmen immediately ordered to close their businesses and concentrate their manpower to prevent any unfriendly actions from the Haihan army.
Of course, these private armed forces that can only use cold weapons do not have much combat effectiveness in front of the Haihan army. Even if they want to protect themselves, they still have to act according to Haihan's face, and they dare not fight with the Haihan army.It's just that the Haihan army asked every household to put down their weapons and accept the inspection, which was a bit embarrassing for these people.
"People in the yard listen, put down their weapons immediately, and accept the inspection!"
Hearing the shouts from outside the yard, the people in the yard were all terrified.They are not spies, but they just don't understand why Hai Han would suddenly carry out this kind of investigation. If they put down their weapons, they would lose any ability to protect themselves.One of the middle-aged men in brocade robes sternly said: "Listen people outside, Yu doesn't care who you want to arrest, this yard is all Yu's people, and you won't let you take anyone casually!"
The middle-aged man who called out was Yu Ping, a native of Jinan Prefecture, and the second shopkeeper of Fengshun No. Commercial Firm.The trade between Fengshun and Haihan was a two-way flow. They sold cotton cloth and medicinal materials to Haihan, and then purchased Haihan industrial products such as glass products from Zhifu Island, and sold them to inland cities for profit.As the scale of trade increased, the firm rented land in Majiazhuang to build a large-scale storehouse, and had more than [-] associates permanently stationed there.Yu Ping had just arrived here two days ago, and he had to bring a batch of goods back to Jinan on his return journey. Before he had settled the payment with Haihan, the Haihan army blocked the village and arrested people.
It was the first time for Yu Ping to come to Majiazhuang. Although he knew in advance that there would be certain risks in dealing with the Haihan people, the considerable economic benefits drove him here.According to the trade content previously discussed by the two parties, he could bring back at least 3 taels of silver for the Fengshun this trip, and the direct income he could obtain from it was not a small amount.As long as he can return to Jinan City safely, then he can buy the big house he fancy in the south of the city, and even buy a few pure and lovely girls with the remaining money.
If all goes well, the load can be completed tomorrow morning for the return journey.Yu Ping was afraid of making mistakes, and spent the last two days in the freight yard personally watching the laborers load those fragile glassware into the cart.Seeing that it was almost noon, Yu Ping went back to the store to have lunch, but the Haihan army suddenly dispatched and sealed off all the roads inside and outside the village.
Yu Ping didn't have much experience in dealing with the Haihan people, so he subconsciously thought that the other party was going to swallow up the money and the goods, so he hurriedly gathered people and distributed some knives, guns and sticks, intending to put up a resistance.Although the Haihan army has stated that this move is to capture a few fugitives, Yu Ping, who is highly nervous, does not believe this statement. He carried it hard, but Yu Ping still refused to order to open the door to accept the investigation by the Haihan Army.However, he did not completely lose his mind, and chose a very loyal reason to reject the Haihan army outside the courtyard.
Seeing this situation, the Haihan Army who was performing missions outside would naturally think that there was something shady in the store, and immediately surrounded the store and sent someone to notify the superior officer.
Just when the officers outside the courtyard lost patience and gave up persuasion methods to organize a storm, Chen Yixin finally arrived.He is much clearer about the situation of the Fengshun than the grassroots officers. This firm is Haihan's largest trading partner in Jinan Prefecture. There is also a protective umbrella in the film, and the background is too hard.Haihan has always attached great importance to such a "powerful" trading partner. To put it bluntly, even if the Daming government uses Fengshun to play some tricks, Chen Yixin will not let such things affect the overall cooperation between the two parties.
So the first thing Chen Yixin did when he arrived at the scene was to stop his subordinates who were about to hit the door, and then he took the iron horn and shouted into the yard: "I am Chen Yixin, please listen carefully, Shopkeeper Yu, our actions are not aimed at Fengshun, we just need to confirm that the prisoner we want to arrest is not hiding in the store. Please cooperate with shopkeeper Yu, and I will guarantee the personal safety of you and your subordinates."
Yu Ping shouted in the courtyard: "General Chen, how can I trust you if you surround my shop with so many soldiers?"
Chen Yixin said: "I believe in Fengshun's innocence, and I also respect shopkeeper Yu's identity, so I didn't order to take tough measures, but if shopkeeper Yu refuses our kindness again and again, then I have to doubt myself. whether the judgment was wrong."
Yu Ping was silent for a while before opening his mouth again: "General Chen, what you do may destroy our cooperative relationship."
Chen Yixin said: "Master Yu, as long as there are enough interests, the cooperative relationship between Haihan and Fengshun will not be terminated. This is not a trivial matter based on your will, even if Fengshun does not have you, or the local If someone else is in power, our cooperation will continue. Give up the confrontation, you should understand that we are actually on the same page when it comes to making money.”
It has to be said that Chen Yixin's direct disclosure of the relationship between the two parties has greatly shocked Yu Ping. Economic interests are indeed the foundation of the relationship between the two parties, and Haihan seems to have no reason to destroy this relationship.Even if he really wanted to turn his face, Chen Yixin didn't need to persuade himself like this outside, after all, as long as he gave an order, the Haihan soldiers outside could immediately break into the store.As for the manpower in the courtyard, Yu Ping also knew that this was just a self-consolation. If he really wanted to do it, how could he be able to defeat the Haihan soldiers with live ammunition outside? The more he resisted, the faster he would die.After calming down, he naturally figured out the reason very quickly.
"Put all the guys away and open the door!" Yu Ping finally lowered his voice, and waved his hands to signal his subordinates to give up resistance.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this order. They didn't want to be buried with the shopkeeper just because the shopkeeper went crazy alone. It is naturally the wisest decision to voluntarily give up confronting the Haihan army.
Soon the door of the store opened, and Yu Ping stood by the door and bowed slightly to welcome Chen Yixin's arrival.Chen Yixin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Our cooperation should not be limited to trade. We should also join hands to deal with those who want to destroy our cooperative relationship."
Yu Ping raised his head and asked with some puzzlement: "Who is General Chen referring to?"
"Some people who don't want Daming to keep peace with Haihan." Chen Yixin lowered his voice and said, "It may be Jinyiwei, Dongchang or Shandong Capital. We have already captured a group of people. I hope that you and these people will There is no connection between them."
"No, no, not at all! I'm just a businessman, and I won't participate in these taboo things." Yu Ping quickly defended himself: "If the two countries go to war, the trade will inevitably be interrupted, so I don't have the slightest idea benefit!"
Chen Yixin stared into Yu Ping's eyes, as if he wanted to see whether the words were credible from his eyes.After a brief silence, Chen Yixin finally showed a smile: "Of course shopkeeper Yu would not do such an irrational thing. As I said just now, we have common interests, so I trust you!"
For ordinary people in Ming Dynasty, the privileged institutions such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang still exist in disbelief. When Chen Yixin confirmed that he had reported these facts, the shock in Yu Ping's eyes was not feigned.Of course, the fact that Yu Ping is clean does not mean that the Fengshun is also clean. Chen Yixin knows that these intelligence agents are all-pervasive and may sneak into the occupied area by pretending to be various identities, and Yu Ping may not know everything about everyone under him, so Careful investigation is still necessary.
After solving the trouble here on Fengshun, Chen Yixin hurried to another place.Similar to this confrontation situation, today is not limited to Fengshun.And in this situation, he can often only come forward in person, and his words can have enough weight to gain the trust of the other party.
At the same time, the torture of the captives was immediately carried out at Marbo's house and the immigration camp simultaneously.The Haihan army's blockade of Majiazhuang cannot last forever. To catch the fish that slipped through the net before the blockade is lifted, it is necessary to pry open the mouths of these people.
The information that Ma Bo, who was the first to accept the soft confession, was able to provide was extremely limited. The only Da Ming spies he came into contact with were those who had already been arrested, and it was basically impossible to expect him to pull out more people.
According to Ma Bo’s own confession, his task was to arrange for Daming spies to enter the immigration camp, and then find opportunities to stuff people outside the immigration camp on various construction sites that urgently needed labor, so that the spies could get in touch with all aspects of the local area.When the information is almost collected, they will be arranged to leave the immigration camp in various ways, and then some new faces will come in.That's why he agreed to Liu Shang's request to transfer people. Anyway, he had to try to arrange these people to go out. Liu Shang's request just saved a lot of trouble, but so far, Ma Bo hasn't sent Liu Shang to someone else. It is connected with the sudden arrest of these people today.
