Chapter 1969
The sky has not yet brightened up, but Feng Agui has already woken up from his drunkenness. Not long after the noise outside the village passed, the village chief led a group of Haihan soldiers to knock on the door of his house, and then searched the yard with torches. According to the village chief, there is a group of armed bandits operating nearby, and the army is currently arresting them. To ensure the safety of the people, every household in Yangyue Village must be searched to prevent fleeing bandits from sneaking into the village to hide. .
"I heard that these gangsters came from Changhua to Danzhou..." While the soldiers were searching the yard, the village chief told Feng Agui about the news he had just received: "In order to arrest these bad guys, the government specially mobilized The army arrived in Sandu Town, and now they have surrounded most of the gangsters outside the village, waiting for them to be captured after dawn. "
Feng Agui did not dare to comment on the government's actions, but responded solemnly: "Fortunately, the military men acted quickly enough and did not let the bad guys harm our village. I hope this chaos will subside soon!"
Although the military has basically confirmed that Xue Zheng and his gang are trapped near the Yangyue scenic spot in Yantang outside the village, for the sake of safety, they still cautiously dispatched several teams to conduct house-to-house raids in the nearby Yangyue Village. A search was carried out on site to ensure that no fish hiding in Yangyue Village would slip through the net during the arrest.
Such a situation will undoubtedly have a big impact on the villagers who have been living a peaceful life all year round. You must know that the last time there were troops in Yangyue Village, it must be traced back to when the Haihan Army occupied Danzhou. Moreover, Yangyue Village was not a battlefield for armed conflict at that time, but troops from both sides of the war passed by. Just this place.
Yangyue Village is actually not a big place. There are only about fifty households in total, and the total permanent population is less than 300 people. Therefore, the search of the entire village did not take too much time. The infantry platoon carrying out this task rushed in. The inventory was completed before dawn and it was confirmed that no strange and suspicious persons had sneaked into the village to hide.
"Let's take action as soon as daybreak to avoid a long night of nightmares. If you encounter someone who resists, subdue them as much as possible, and don't kill them until you have to." Wang Baisuo gave the order to the two army company commanders participating in the operation with red eyes. He had already stayed up all night in a tent command post set up in the wild, drinking four or five cups of strong tea. However, because he had to keep an eye on the progress of the operation, he was still a little sleepy after staying up all night. He just wanted to get things done here as soon as possible. After processing, withdraw your troops and return to the city.
The two army company commanders were quite excited. While stationed in Danzhou, it was not easy to get real military merit. After all, the culture of this place was prosperous, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty had also become normalized in recent years. There was basically no possibility of a war. . In addition, the local economy is developing rapidly and the public security situation is improving. There is rarely a need to use force. But this time, they cooperated with the Ministry of Security's plan and pulled out the troops to carry out the arrest mission. In their opinion, it was simply a military achievement delivered to their doorstep. Even if they stayed up all night, it wouldn't matter.
Although Zhang Qianzhi, who was in Danzhou City, did not have to go to the front line to personally direct the arrest operation, he also did not get much rest that night. After interrogating one suspect, he sent back two more, and then conducted cross-interrogation on the three suspects. Verify the reliability of his confession. This was a very brain-consuming job. Zhang Qianzhi worked hard for several hours overnight. Although he got a lot of useful information, he was really exhausted.
However, his treatment was slightly better than that of Wang Baisuo. Although Zhang Xin, who came here specifically to wait for news, did not interfere in the interrogation work, he was specially sent to Zhang Qianzhi twice with ginseng tea to help cheer him up. For Zhang Qianzhi, this kind of move is naturally worthy of extra efforts to encourage him. In addition, he also knows that the time limit for this operation is almost all obtained by Zhang Xin for him. The Korean fleet will arrive in Danzhou after dawn. Even if it is In order to repay Zhang Xin's kindness, he must handle this case as soon as possible.
Although three people have been arrested, based on the confessions obtained so far, Zhang Qianzhi is still unable to confirm the true identities and camps of these people. These people have obviously received extremely professional training. There will be multiple versions of the information they give, such as their identity and the target of their effectiveness. Each person will tell four or five different versions one after another. This is very important to the interrogator. It has a very confusing effect, and it is difficult to judge which part of the information he confessed is true, and it is even possible that all the information he said is false.
Situations like this are rare in Zhang Qianzhi's previous work experience. He still needs more time to compare the confessions of these people and slowly confirm the credible and doubtful parts.
Under such circumstances, perhaps Xue, the leader of this group of people, is the key figure in whether a breakthrough can be achieved in the interrogation work. However, whether this person can be caught alive in the end, Zhang Qianzhi cannot make the decision in Danzhou City. Everything depends on the operations of the frontline personnel.
In fact, the arrest work that made the headquarters feel least confident before the operation was actually the smoothest part after the operation started. There were no twists and turns in the interrogation process, and everyone was caught. He didn't let go, it was very neat and tidy. After Xue Zheng and his gang found out that they had been deceived, they accidentally broke into internal strife. Most of them died before they had time to fight, which saved a lot of trouble for the army on the arresting mission.
The sound of roosters crowing in the distance called Dongfang Yubai. After waiting all night, the arrest results of Yangyue Village were finally sent back to the headquarters in Danzhou City by the cavalry. Only four of the thirteen people who were surrounded survived, and they were already being escorted back to the city. But what is very strange is that not all of the people who died were killed by the military because they tried to resist. Five of them died as a result of internal strife before the battle.
Zhang Qianzhi imagined various possibilities, but did not expect that such a strange situation would occur during the arrest. He confirmed with the cavalryman who sent the message twice before he believed that he had heard correctly.
Also shocked by the news was Zhang Xin, who was woken up after just taking a nap. He had a subconscious reaction to such a situation: "The gangsters are fighting among themselves? Are they trying to surrender to save their lives?"
"We still don't know the cause of the internal strife, but it is said that the other party did surrender, and their leader is among the four survivors. In addition, there are no casualties on our side." Zhang Qianzhi quickly explained the current situation to him. .
"So the operation went quite smoothly!" Zhang Xin relaxed a lot when he heard this situation. After all, the North Koreans were coming soon, and this matter needed to be concluded as soon as possible, and the actual execution of this operation was better than expected. Much better, there shouldn't be any big trouble anymore.
"Then you are busy here first. I'm going to wash up and have breakfast, and then I have to go to the port and wait." Seeing that Zhang Qianzhi's side was progressing smoothly, Zhang Xin didn't ask about the status of the case investigation in detail. He has more important work now, and has to go to the port in advance to wait for the arrival of Li Bo and his party.
Zhang Qianzhi did not dare to tell him at this time that although the matter had come to an end, the investigation of the case was not smooth. After interrogating him for one night, he could not even figure out who these people were taking orders from and why they launched an attack on the crown prince of Joseon. . The person who is really most relaxed at this time is probably Li Shu, who is about to arrive at Danzhou Port. When he left Changhua, he didn't expect that this temporary Annan trip, including the time spent on the way back and forth, actually consumed nearly half a month, which greatly affected the subsequent itinerary.
Of course, in fact, Li Pu did not have any particularly urgent itinerary. After all, the subsequent visit itinerary was also decided by Haihan officials, and there was no content that had special requirements for timeliness. He mainly wanted to return to Sanya after completing the visit as soon as possible, and then start the real study abroad phase as soon as possible.
Li Bo has a lot of free time these days to think about problems. He has read the set of "The Rise of the South China Sea" that he carried with him over and over several times. He has gradually begun to understand what North Korea should learn from Haihan and how to learn it. some ideas.
First of all, imitation and learning in various production technologies are indispensable measures, and this is also the learning direction with the most intuitive results and the lowest threshold for North Korea. Although there are many advanced technologies that Haihan will not pass on to others at this stage, through this visit, Li Bo also realized that Haihan is willing to teach many relatively advanced production technologies to North Korea, such as agricultural technology, navigation, Shipbuilding, salt production, mining, etc. will undoubtedly play a significant role in promoting North Korea's national power.
Before going abroad, Li Pu also considered that he would personally learn several advanced technologies after going to Haihan, and when he returned to China, he would teach a group of reliable professional craftsmen step by step to promote the development of related industries in his country. But after visiting Haihan on the spot, he felt that his focus was indeed a bit low. Tasks such as learning technology should be left to professionals, and he should stand at a higher place to help his country become a better country. Rapidly achieve industrial development and enhance national strength.
Forces such as Fujian and Annan that have good relations with Haihan can serve as successful examples for reference in their imitation and learning of Haihan in the field of industrial development. Their success lies not only in how many people they send to study abroad in Haihan every year, but more importantly in how they formulate long-term goals and corresponding development plans and implement them - this is the top priority. It is something that readers should spend time and energy researching.
During this visit, Li Bo saw the mines, salt fields, shipyards, and smelting workshops... In fact, these production sites and natural resources are also found in North Korea. How to upgrade these industries to the level of Haihan? This is the problem that North Korea needs to solve now. After visiting these places, Li Bo gradually realized that the gap between the two countries in these fields cannot be bridged by learning technology or imitating the way of organizing production. How the country supports these industries from the governance level is the key Quite important but easily overlooked content.
The situation in Danzhou is different from the previous stops. This place is said to be based on the cultural and educational industry and is known as the cultural center of the Haihan Kingdom. In a country known for its military force and commerce, what kind of environment will its cultural center be like? How does the government support the local cultural and educational industry? What are the differences between the scholars trained under the Haihan model and those during the Ming Dynasty? An issue of great concern.
In fact, he also tried to find answers to these questions in books and consulted with senior Haihan officials such as Bai Kesi. However, the records in the book did not provide detailed answers, and Bai Kesi and others deliberately let him go through personal experience after arriving in Danzhou. Feel it yourself.
"Learning is very important. In the past, Danzhou during the Ming Dynasty was probably the place where people were taught how to read, read and write eight-legged essays. But in Danzhou today, we will teach students more things so that they can not only read If you can write, you can apply this cultural knowledge to a wider range. As for what exactly you can do, you will understand it when the prince stays in Danzhou for some time.”
Li Pu thought of what Bai Kesi had said to him before, and couldn't help but wonder, if Danzhou is the cultural center of Haihan, then whether it would be more appropriate for him to study abroad in Danzhou.
At dawn, Li Shu saw the horizon appearing on the sea in the distance on the deck, and knew that Danzhou Port was very close. However, he probably didn't expect that just three days ago, another fleet under his banner had staged the drama of "the visit of the Crown Prince of Joseon" here. Since a grand welcoming ceremony had been arranged that day, many local people thought that the Crown Prince of Joseon had already arrived in Danzhou at that time, but they had no idea that the real master had not appeared until then.
Li Ming met Danzhou local magistrate Zhang Xin on the dock, who had come here specially to greet him. However, he found that Mr. Zhang's mental state did not seem to be very good. The dark circles under his eyes were very heavy. It seemed that he was busy with official duties. Unexpectedly, the root cause of Zhang Xin's recent bad rest was because of himself.
"Fortunately, everything has been taken care of!" After seeing Bai Kesi, Zhang Xin reported to him that he was safe, but because Li Bo was nearby, he did not say it too straightforwardly, as long as Bai Kesi could understand That’s it.
Bai Kesi understood the idea, shook hands with Zhang Xin and said: "It's good to get it done. Thank you for all the hard work these days!"
Bai Kesi also changed his itinerary again and again because of Li Pu's matter. He accompanied him to Annan for a long walk, and when he came back, he had to go to Danzhou again. The schedule and official duties that were delayed would probably be all he could do later. I made up for it by working overtime. Fortunately, Danzhou has eliminated the hidden dangers, so his work was not in vain. Looking at Li Bo next to him who had no idea about this, Bai Kesi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When everyone relaxed, Zhang Qianzhi's head began to grow. He was not sure whether the situation that seemed to have stabilized would change again if the trial failed to produce a credible result.
