When Cui Hongfang first heard about this errand from Qu Yutong, he only thought it was a credit to the door-to-door, but he didn't think about why Qu Yutong asked himself, the commander, to personally handle this kind of job that would be done as long as hundreds of households came forward. Small things that can be settled.Later, after he met with Duan Tiancheng, the other party asked to block the city gates during the arrest, cut off the traffic in the area around the target, and send heavy armored infantry to prepare for the attack. Only then did he realize that the errand assigned by the Haihan people was not what he expected So simple.
The so-called secret strongholds of pirate gangs are not just as simple as lurking in the city of Ningbo to inquire about news. According to Duan Tiancheng, most of the underground strongholds that Haihan seized in the Fuguang area in the south have muskets in their possession. , knives and bows and other weapons, and the relevant personnel will desperately resist when they are arrested. During this period, the personnel who executed the arrest have been killed or injured in the battle.Although Cui Hongfang has a high position and authority and does not need to go to battle in person, he does not want to let his subordinates suffer in vain. Since the Haihan people are in advance, he can avoid it as much as possible by making arrangements in advance.
Cui Hongfang wanted to take this opportunity to please the Zhoushan authorities, so he asked Duan Tiancheng how to arrange the arrest operation.Then according to Duan Tiancheng's instructions, he mobilized manpower to make a comprehensive arrangement, and only then did he start to seal the city and arrest people.However, because Cui Hongfang arranged the time of action before sunset in the evening according to Duan Tiancheng's suggestion, it happened that some personnel from the other party took advantage of this opportunity to slip out of Ningbo City.
Barricades were set up on the periphery, the block was blocked, and heavy armored infantry, archers, and musketeers were deployed. After everything was ready, Cui Hong conveniently ordered to start clearing the field.
At this time, the blocked area has actually banned people from entering and leaving. People who want to leave are first taken to another street, and the yamen servants dispatched by the Ningbo government quickly verify their identities one by one and confirm that they are completely connected with the dry goods store. You can leave only after it has nothing to do with it.
At this time, the shops facing the street were basically closed, and the dry goods store was no exception, so the arresting team did not encounter any trouble when cleaning up the surrounding area.However, in order to prevent the target from getting ready, the Ming army did not clean up the neighbors of the dry goods store, but included them in the blockade and searched them after the operation was over.
Afterwards, combatants such as heavy armor troops, shieldmen, and door-breaking squads entered the combat position in turn, preparing to break in directly from the main entrance of the dry goods store.However, there were only a small number of Musketeers in the establishment of the local guards in Ningbo Prefecture, with limited training and no actual combat experience. Cui Hongfang was worried that these Musketeers would stand behind and accidentally injure his own people during the battle later, so he simply transferred them all to block the battle. Stay at the back door, as long as someone tries to escape through the back door, the musketeers only need to open fire and greet them.The task of providing fire support at the front door was handed over to more than 30 archers.
After everything was ready, Cui Hongfang gave the order to do it.Although these soldiers had not conducted a rehearsal beforehand, they were Cui Hongfang's elite at any rate, and they were very neat in their actions.The door-breaking team carrying the wooden stakes stepped forward three or two times and broke the door latch of the dry goods store, and then the shield soldiers rushed in through the door, followed by the heavy armored soldiers in front.
The people inside were obviously unprepared for the sudden attack, and before they had time to use their weapons to resist, they had already been rushed to pieces by dozens of heavily armored soldiers who rushed in quickly.Immediately after the heavy armored soldiers, dozens of soldiers in cotton armor poured in. They were responsible for quickly taking the subdued people out of the shop, stuffing their mouths with numbness, dragging them outside the dry goods shop and locking them with shackles its hands and feet.But in a short while, the Ming army had successfully controlled the situation.
The division of labor between the several arms was clear beforehand, and the on-the-spot performance was almost perfect, leaving no opportunity for the opponent to organize resistance. Therefore, this raid went very smoothly, and the performance of the arresters even far exceeded the expectations of the two commanders .
"My lord, the dry goods store has been cleaned up, you can go in." Later, some soldiers came to report the results of the battle to Cui Hongfang.
Cui Hongfang didn't leave in a hurry, but asked, "Is Sun Feizhou, the leader of the thief, caught?"
The soldiers responded: "The leader of the thief has been captured, but this person seems to have committed suicide by taking poison before we caught him, and the military doctor is inside to rescue him."
Cui Hongfang nodded, and said to Duan Tiancheng next to him, "In that case, should Mr. Duan go in and have a look together?"
Of course Duan Tiancheng would not refuse to review the results of the battle, he responded with a smile: "Master Cui, please!"
The two got off their horses and walked to the door of the dry goods store. There was a row of people at the base of the wall who were shackled and chained behind their hands, lying face down on the ground. A soldier was standing next to each of them with their feet on their waists, preventing them from moving. , for a while, it was hard to tell whether these people were dead or alive.
Entering the dry goods store, it was already a mess.In addition to the various traces of fighting left during the arrest just now, the personnel who entered here later to carry out the search mission were more likely to dig three feet into the ground, wishing that the house would be demolished.
The guards led the way, passed through the shop and the courtyard behind, and entered a study at the back.The military doctor mentioned by the soldiers was treating an old man lying on the ground, but Duan Tiancheng saw that the old man's eyes were closed tightly, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and there was no sign of breathing.
"Can it be saved?" Cui Hongfang didn't care about this person's life or death, but he saw that Duan Tiancheng should be more concerned about this, so he took the initiative to ask the military doctor.
The military doctor didn't dare to stop what he was doing, and responded, "My lord, the poison this person has taken has never been seen before, so I can't treat it properly. I can only try to see if it can save his life again." Delay for a moment."
"Do your best to treat it, if you can save it, I will reward you a hundred taels of silver!" In front of Duan Tiancheng, Cui Hongfang naturally wanted to show that he paid enough attention to this matter, and immediately offered a reward.
The military doctor hurriedly responded, but he was crying inwardly. He had just checked the pulse of this person when he came in, and it was so weak that it was about to stop. If he hadn't pricked a few acupuncture points that stimulated vitality with silver needles, he might not have survived until Cui Hongfang came in. Already out of breath.In this situation, it is not easy to save people again, even if Cui Hongfang offered ten times more rewards, he would not have the ability to take the money after all.Now I just hope that after this person dies from poison, Cui Hongfang will not charge himself with the crime of ineffective treatment.
However, Duan Tiancheng didn't seem to care that much about Sun Feizhou's life or death. After listening to the military doctor explain the situation, he focused on the furnishings in the study.After walking around the room with his hands behind his back, Duan Tiancheng stopped in front of the bookshelf.
Before he joined the army, he had studied in a private school and could read some words. After joining the army, because he was smarter, he performed better in previous missions. He was selected by his superiors as a staff officer to receive further studies. Over the past few years, his cultural level has also improved. Quite a few, there is no problem in understanding ordinary books.However, the book that caught his attention was not a common book like the Four Books and Five Classics, but a book officially published by Haihan.
Duan Tiancheng was able to see this book at a glance, not because he had read the book, but because the characters on the spine of the book were clearly the simplified characters commonly used by Hai Han Kingdom, which were slightly different from the characters used by Daming.
Duan Tiancheng stretched out his hand and slowly pulled out this "South Sea Customs and Local Chronicles" from the bookshelf. Sure enough, besides the big title, there was a small line of "Sanya Publishing House" on the cover, indicating that the source of this book was indeed from Haihan .
Duan Tiancheng casually flipped through a few pages, the content was actually just a superficial introduction to customs, but especially this book is accompanied by a more specific map of the South China Sea, including the many overseas colonies ruled by Haihan in the south of Hainan Island. They are also marked, all accompanied by a brief introduction.For example, Anbuna Island in the middle of the South China Sea. This book not only indicates the geographical location, but also introduces the unique tourism industry on the island.And Xingdao, further south, is known as "the southern frontier town of Haihan Kingdom", emphasizing the importance of the local strategic location.
As for the length of the introduction to Haihan Kingdom, it is obviously the content that the owner of this book focuses on reading. Some key words and sentences are drawn in very fine handwriting, and there are also some annotations.It's just that the handwriting is small and dense, and it took Duan Tiancheng a lot of eyes to read a few of them.
"Governing the sea is the strategy for the development of Haihan, and the size of the controlled sea has surpassed that of Ming Dynasty"; "There are Haihan strongholds in the southeast, northwest, and middle of the South China Sea, and the climate has already been established"; "If you develop southward, you will definitely conflict with Haihan head-on , it is unwise."Comments like these made Duan Tiancheng realize that the commenter had some insights into the general situation of the world. It would be a pity if this person was Sun Feizhou who committed suicide by taking poison. Zhiyu Party should have a lot of inside information.
Duan Tiancheng thought about it, if it wasn't because he knew too much and knew that there would be no reason for being arrested, Sun Feizhou probably would not have chosen to kill himself so resolutely.Using suicide to guard the confidential information in his mind, this Feizhou Sun can be regarded as a ruthless person.
However, this "South China Sea Customs" itself is a published book, and it does not involve many real military secrets, so it is not uncommon for Sun Feizhou to get this book.Of course, in addition to going to the Sanya library to look up relevant materials in person, such books introducing the customs and customs of Haihan are probably one of the few media through which the outside world can learn more about the territory of Haihan.Whether or not some higher-perspective opinions can be extracted from the rough information provided by this kind of reading material depends on the quality of the reader. This Sun Feizhou can obviously be regarded as a leader among readers.
"Master Duan, what's so strange about this book?" Seeing that Duan Tiancheng didn't ask about Sun Feizhou's life or death, Cui Hongfang came over to find out what happened.
Duan Tiancheng closed the book, smiled and said: "This book contains a lot of content about my Haihan Kingdom. It seems that Feizhou Sun has put a lot of effort into researching this information."
Cui Hongfang misunderstood what he meant: "This thief is quite courageous, and he dared to take advantage of your country. He really is tired of work and can do anything!"
Duan Tiancheng said: "They should and can only think about it. If they dare to go to our country to cause trouble, they will never return!"
Cui Hongfang thought to himself that it is the same reason for these thieves to come to Daming to cause trouble, and it is not just you, Hai Han, who know how to arrest people.However, he didn't show the slightest bit of impatience on his face, and turned to ask Duan Tiancheng for his opinion on how to deal with Sun Feizhou: "The poison this thief took is quite strong, and it seems that it will be difficult to save him. Do we need to transport it to Zhoushan Island and let him go?" The doctor of your country will give you a cure?"
Duan Tiancheng glanced at the military doctor who was slumped on the ground beside him and Sun Feizhou who was out of breath, shook his head and said, "Since we can't save him, we don't have to force him. General Shi didn't say that he must catch the culprit alive, as long as he doesn't let him Just escape! Even if he is captured alive, it looks like he won't cooperate with us honestly."
Cui Hongfang said: "Except for the captured thieves, can Lord Duan take away the things found here?"
Duan Tiancheng said: "If we find weapons and equipment, or other things that can show the identity of this group of people, I need to take them back and report to General Shi. As for other things..."
Duan Tiancheng lowered his voice when he said this, reached out and patted Cui Hongfang's shoulder lightly: "Master Cui has worked hard today and contributed a lot, so he should also take some benefits back to reward his brothers. The rest will be left to Master Cui." Arranged by myself."
An important clue for Haihan to find this dry goods store is that the flow of money here has greatly exceeded the daily operating conditions. Before Duan Tiancheng came here, he was basically sure that there must be a lot of money hidden in this place. Base daily operating funds.Haihan is rich and powerful, and he doesn't care too much about where the money goes. It's perfect to sell Cui Hongfang as a favor.In this way, no matter Duan Tiancheng wants to take the suspect or evidence from here, it will be easier for Cui Hongfang to agree.
Cui Hongfang saw that Duan Tiancheng's eyes were ambiguous, so he stopped acting immediately, and called the guards over, and asked the guards in front of Duan Tiancheng if they found any valuables.
The soldier didn't dare to hide anything, so he quickly reported the results of the current search. All kinds of banknotes plus cash amounted to about ten thousand taels. In addition, he also found a few small gold bars and several pieces of high-quality jade. There are also two or three thousand taels of silver.
After Cui Hongfang finished listening, he ordered: "Go and wrap up the gold bars and jades and hand them over to Mr. Duan's subordinates."
Duan Tiancheng hastily declined, "How can this be done?"
"How can it be impossible? If Master Duan hadn't given the guidance, how could this errand go on so smoothly? Besides, Master Duan led a team to Ningbo to run an errand, so you can't let your brothers go in vain, right? A little money should be given to the brothers. The money for the wine is settled, Master Duan, don't refuse any more!" Cui Hongfang seemed extremely righteous, and immediately thought of a reason for Duan Tiancheng to share the benefits.
