Chapter 2097
Since ancient times, it has been a fat job for the government to confiscate private property. Usually, the leading officials who perform such tasks will more or less intercept some benefits from it in various names and collect it in their own pockets. Therefore, Cui Hongfang's approach is not unusual.However, he was not too greedy, since Duan Tiancheng took the initiative to give this benefit to himself, he would also reciprocate, and gave some of it to Duan Tiancheng by borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha.
Duan Tiancheng's attention was not on the windfall, so after a few polite words, he half pushed and half accepted it.As Cui Hongfang said, he led a team to Ningbo City to carry out a mission, and the brothers under him must also hope to get some benefits from this errand.However, when I return to Zhoushan, I still have to report to my superiors, so as not to make a confession because of this kind of thing in the future, which will affect my official career.
Duan Tiancheng was more concerned about other things found here, such as muskets and other weapons, so as to convince the other party that this place was indeed a very dangerous pirate stronghold.If there is nothing, then he will undoubtedly appear a little too nervous when he instructed Cui Hongfang to do so much preparation work in advance.
Fortunately, the results of the search of the dry goods shop did not disappoint him in the end. A secret compartment was found in the warehouse where the dry goods were stored, and three muskets, several stainless steel waist knives, and a small amount of ammunition were found from inside.Although these weapons are not enough to cause major chaos, if the people in the dry goods store are prepared in advance, the Ming army may still be killed or injured during the arrest process.
"These daring thieves really deserve to die!"
After confirming these weapons, the crimes of Sun Feizhou and others were confirmed. Cui Hongfang's voice was stern, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.All the people who should be arrested today have been caught, and the required evidence has also been found. Officer Haihan seems to be satisfied with the result, and this errand should be considered a smooth completion.
Among the people captured by the dry goods store, except for the boss Sun Feizhou who took poison and committed suicide under the cover of the shopkeeper, the others were all killed, but two of them resisted in the process of arrest and were anxiously arrested. The Ming army fell to the ground directly, and the injuries were not serious, but at present, it can only be bandaged briefly, and it depends on fate if it survives.
According to the prior agreement between the two parties, the captured victims will be taken away by the Haihan army, and Haihan will then report the results of the interrogation to the Ningbo government.As for relevant important evidence, Duan Tiancheng will also bring all of them back to Zhoushan Island and hand them over to the Military Intelligence Bureau for further inspection to determine whether the weapons found in Ningbo are of the same type as other places where the incident occurred.
Cui Hongfang and Duan Tian finished the confiscated money, and then handed over the prisoners and evidence. Duan Tiancheng bid farewell to Cui Hongfang and left. He had to return to Zhoushan as soon as possible.
"Master Cui has helped a lot this time. When I have the opportunity next time, I will come to Ningbo to hold a banquet to thank Master Cui!" Duan Tiancheng expressed his gratitude to Cui Hongfang very politely when he parted.
"Your Majesty Duan, you are welcome. You must come to Ningbo City after you finish this part of your work. Let me be the host. Please be close to me!" Cui Hongfang sent Buddha to the west, and even took the initiative to cover the expenses of the next meeting.He felt that this Haihan officer surnamed Duan was relatively easy to deal with, and perhaps he could use this channel to obtain some relatively scarce resources from Haihan in the future.
Cui Hongfang's idea was not to buy arms from Haihan in batches to strengthen his army. After all, his current relationship with Haihan was not that familiar, so it would be rash to make such a request.He was thinking that if he could establish some kind of direct trade relationship with the Zhoushan authorities in his own name, he should be able to reap a lot of benefits from it.
As for how to operate in the middle, he is not worried at all. He has witnessed the changes in the trading environment of Ningbo Prefecture in the past two years at the Yongjiangkou Wharf. Even if he has seen it, he has already seen it.Cui Hongfang basically knows which Haihan products are best-selling and which items are most profitable to sell to Haihan people, and he can enter the business just by waiting for the right time.
Moreover, with his status as the commander of the guard, many things will be more convenient to operate, and he can even directly use the resources in the army to operate transactions. This kind of practice is not uncommon in several state capitals in Linhai, Zhejiang, but Dinghai Wei is right under the eyes of the Ningbo government office, and some small actions are not easy to do too clearly, so as not to be envied by the magistrate.
Duan Tiancheng didn't expect Cui Hongfang to have so many schemes, and he only thought he was being polite to him.Cui Hongfang sent someone to send Duan Tiancheng's team out of the city, while he himself stayed here to complete the finishing work.Although this underground stronghold has been cracked, the follow-up still needs to clean up the surrounding area and complete the handover with the government office, and the government officials will do some work to appease the people and track down unfinished clues.
It was also inconvenient for Duan Tiancheng to escort the prisoners and evidence to stay overnight in Ningbo Mansion, after leaving the city, he went to Yongjiang River and took a boat back to Zhoushan Island overnight.After he completed the handover with the Military Intelligence Bureau, the sky was already dark, but Duan Tiancheng was not in a hurry to go back to rest, but went to Shi Diwen's mansion first, waiting for his boss to get up early, and then report as soon as possible.
Duan Tiancheng waited for about an hour, and Shi Diwen got up.Hearing that Duan Tiancheng had rushed back from Ningbo City overnight, he immediately tidied up and came out to meet him.
"Come back so early, you must have stayed up all night hungry, let's eat something together first, and then talk about the mission after eating." Shi Diwen motioned Duan Tiancheng, who was saluting to him, to sit down first.He believed that with Duan Tiancheng's ability and prior arrangements, this operation should not miss, so he was not in a hurry to understand the result of the operation, but arranged for the other party to have breakfast with him first.
Shi Diwen's breakfast is not luxurious, but it is definitely not what ordinary people can eat in the market.Because Shi Diwen lived in the West in his early years, his dining habits are relatively westernized. Bread, milk and jam in the morning are all must-haves.However, this kind of breakfast is usually only prepared for him alone, so Duan Tiancheng has no good food to enjoy. Shi Diwen asked the kitchen to cook him a large bowl of beef noodles and added two fried eggs. I'm full.
After breakfast, Shi Diwen's orderly brought him another pot of coffee as usual, and this time Duan Tiancheng may have a share.
"This is the coffee produced in Wanning County, Hainan Island. Drink it to refresh your mind. You came back from Ningbo overnight and stayed up all night. Just drink some of this to refresh yourself." Shi Diwen picked up a small spoon and put it in the cup Stir slowly in the middle of the cup, and pointed to Duan Tiancheng who was at a loss: "If it feels bitter, put a grain of sugar in it to neutralize it. But I like to drink bitter taste, you can master it yourself!"
Duan Tiancheng felt that these words seemed to mean something, and quickly responded: "You can endure hardships in humble positions!"
Shi Diwen smiled and did not respond to this positive statement. He knew that Duan Tiancheng was a smart young man, and he was good at figuring out other people's thoughts and intentions. Although this statement obviously intended to flatter him, it was harmless.It is actually a good enjoyment to have such a smart person running errands for him.
This time in the task of arresting people in Ningbo City, he did not make detailed arrangements to Duan Tiancheng beforehand, but only asked him to cooperate with the Ningbo Mansion according to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and arrest the Eighteen Zhiyu Party hiding in Ningbo City. Catch back.As for the specific action plan agreed with Ding Haiwei and the execution of the arrest task, Duan Tiancheng led the completion on his own.Shi Diwen also wanted to take this opportunity to test the young officer's ability to handle affairs and see if he deserved a higher position.
Coffee is a beverage that has not spread widely in this era. Its plantation and production are monopolized by the Arabs, and no one in the East knows it at all, and its introduction to Europe has only just begun in recent years.Coffee is one of the commercial crops introduced by the Haihan people after traveling to this time and space, but because there is no market for this thing, there are not many coffee trees planted in Wanning, Hainan, and the coffee beans produced are basically supplied to high-ranking officials in Haihan. .Drinking this special drink has not yet become a trend in the upper class of Haihan, and most people still prefer traditional tea.
Duan Tiancheng had never drank coffee before, imitating Shi Diwen's example, he took a small spoon and stirred it a few times, smelling that there seemed to be a unique aroma, then carefully picked up the cup and took a sip, and sure enough, there was a burst of coffee immediately The bitter taste echoed in the mouth, but it was not unbearable.Duan Tiancheng thought of the decoction made from traditional Chinese medicine that he had taken when he was sick, and it seemed to taste somewhat similar to this coffee.
"It turns out that the general relies on drinking medicine to maintain his spirit..." Duan Tiancheng turned this idea in his mind, and suddenly realized that this idea was really disrespectful, so he quickly changed his thinking on this matter: "This thing is actually similar to It’s the same as tea, but it’s made from powder made from some kind of medicinal material.”
"How does it taste?" Shi Diwen asked with interest.He has also tried to promote this special drink to people around him, but it seems that it is not popular at present. Even his wife dislikes this "potion" after tasting it twice.
Duan Tiancheng responded: "It can't be said to be delicious, but it's not bad. Although this product is a bit bitter in the mouth, it can be regarded as mild and warm after it enters the throat. It should be similar to tea."
Shi Diwen nodded and said: "Your feeling is almost right. The effect of this coffee is indeed similar to that of tea. If you feel used to drinking it and come to report to work in the future, I will ask someone to make you a cup too."
It's not that Shi Diwen was reluctant to send some coffee to his subordinates for a try, but he drank hand-ground coffee, and for this reason, he took the time to personally train the orderlies.If you directly send coffee beans to Duan Tiancheng, it might just be a waste of money, so I just let Duan Tiancheng come to drink at his place.
Duan Tiancheng was quick-witted, and quickly responded: "The humble post will thank the general first!"
For an officer of his level, building a good relationship with a local official like Shi Diwen may save years of struggle.In addition to performance at work, it is very important to do what you like.If you often have similar opportunities to chat with your boss, let alone drink this coffee, even if you really drink medicine, he will be fine.
Only then did Shi Diwen return to the topic: "This time I went to Ningbo, things went well, right?"
Duan Tiancheng hastily put down the cup in his hand, and replied seriously: "General, after I arrived in Ningbo, Cui Hongfang, the Commander of Dinghaiwei, has been arranged to contact you. This person is a bit of a philistine, but his abilities are not bad. It is recommended that a detailed and careful pre-war deployment be made, and the command and operation can be regarded as relatively well-organized. We broke through the dry goods store very smoothly, basically encountered no resistance, and the Ming army involved in the operation did not suffer casualties. None of the thieves escaped. It’s just that the leader of the thieves, Sun Feizhou, was aware of the accident and took poison before he was arrested. Although the accompanying military doctor tried his best to rescue him, he still failed to pull him back from the gate of hell.”
Shi Diwen also didn't know Sun Feizhou's identity and role in the Eighteenth Zhiyu Party. He only thought that he was the person in charge of this stronghold in Ningbo City, so he didn't care too much about his life and death. He nodded and asked: "Have you found anything from there?"
Duan Tiancheng said: "I found several muskets and other weapons in the warehouse, and I have brought them back to the Military Intelligence Bureau. In addition, I have also confiscated some gold and silver property, and Cui Hongfang also forcibly sent some of them to me."
Shi Diwen nodded and said: "According to the military rules, register and hand over half of the property by yourself, and arrange the rest yourself!"
The Haihan Army has always dealt with the property seized in combat operations relatively loosely, and will leave more benefits for the personnel participating in the operations, so as to stimulate the combatants' desire to fight.Since Duan Tiancheng took the initiative to declare, Shi Diwen didn't ask about the detailed amount.
Duan Tiancheng quickly thanked Shi Diwen, he remembered something again, took out the "South China Sea Customs" found in the study from his pocket, and handed it to Shi Diwen.
"General, this is a book that I found in the study of the thief leader Sun Feizhou. There are many annotations in the book. I think the general may be interested, so I brought this book back."
Shi Diwen nodded, and immediately looked through.Of course, his level of education and vision are much higher than Duan Tiancheng's. He soon noticed that the commentator's ideas had many unique features, and he had a clearer understanding of the situation in East Asia and Haihan's expansion intentions. Above most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty who have come into contact with.
It is obviously impossible for the shopkeeper of a dry goods store in Ningbo to have such far-sighted insights. Even if this person's true identity is the Eighteen Zhiyu Party, he is definitely a rare talent.Such a person would actually hide in Ningbo City to manage a dry goods store, which made Shi Diwen a little incomprehensible. To be exaggerated, it shouldn't be too difficult even if he has this ability to govern a state and a capital. It seems that the Eighteen Zhiyu Party is really not good at employing people.
