The officer was splashing in the water and shouting angrily: "Get them!"
The expressions of the soldiers following the officers all changed. This team of people are all experts who have waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so they are inevitably arrogant; and they have recently been transferred to Zhigu Village, so they are particularly vigilant.
Although Guo Ning did not publicize the rebellion of the leader of the sea, the news had already spread. Hundreds of leaders and subordinates were ordered to go to Zhongdu to receive rewards. As a result, a rebellion broke out in the middle of the night, seriously injuring a major naval officer and almost disturbing the family records of Marshal Guo. As a result, Marshal Guo was forced to hold the Iron Bone Flower himself and guard the gate of the inner courtyard to fight with him. This is no ordinary thing!
After that, although the city of Zhongdu was turned upside down, elite officers and soldiers of the Ding Navy were urgently transferred to Zhigu Village to calm the situation and to urgently arrest and control those who rebelled against the leader. Even in various ports in Shandong and in farms and other places that have been allocated to sailors, there are also repeated inspections by the navy's cavalry and officials from the Inspection Department and Recording Department.
During the past two days, Marshal Guo, his wife and children were stationed in Wuqing, north of Zhigu Village. It is said that the marshal was depressed because of the death of Emperor Daxing, so he brought his family here to relax. But who knows whether the marshal came here to keep an eye on the activities in Zhigu Village in person?
With this idea in mind, most of the soldiers stationed in Zhigu Village at this time were eager to show off in front of the marshal. Some people are also worried that if there is another trouble at sea, the marshal will be furious and everyone will suffer.
Since the officer gave the order, dozens of soldiers drew their swords and moved forward together.
Zhou Keshan fell to the ground and shouted: "It's a misunderstanding! Don't resist!"
Before he finished speaking, he was already being held down, and a rope was put around his neck involuntarily. Then it was wrapped behind his back and tied up with a large rope. Despite this, he was still holding his neck and shouting: "Don't do it! Wang Erbai! I'm talking about you! Kneel down!"
Wang Erbai's temperament is a bit honest, but he is not stupid. How can he really fight against dozens of sword-wielding warriors? What's more, he has been working at sea for a long time, and he understands that the rules at sea are that the leader is the biggest, and he must not disobey an order.
At that moment, he was stunned and fell to his knees. Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers with swords came out and lined up densely around his neck, like an iron ring with sharp edges. The soldiers turned to look at the officer, waiting for the officer's order to kill two hundred heads.
Fortunately, the official who was managing the dock here showed some friendship and hurriedly came up to persuade him: "Don't kill him! This guy's boss is called Zhao Bin. He is an old man in our navy and has a relationship with Marshal Guo!"
Another clerk was busy throwing out cables and letting the officers pull them to use their strength to land ashore. While they were pulling the cable, they also explained: "This Zhou Gangshou is an acquaintance of our Dinghai Navy. He has met Marshal Guo many times! They are all one of our own! Selling those iron tools, with the permission of the superiors... Li Yun and Li Langzhong are also knew!"
The officer stood back on the trestle with water dripping from his body.
The officials reported the background of Zhou Keshan and his party, which was supposed to be enough to gain leniency, but the officer only sneered:
"Our own people? After what happened in Zhongdu, who can still guarantee that these people on the sea are our own people?"
As soon as this statement came out, the officials all remained silent and allowed the soldiers to tie up Zhou Keshan and Wang Erbai and take them away with kicks and beatings. After walking a few steps, the officer turned back and said: "We have also watched these two ships! The people on the ships are all detained in the camp. If there are fewer ships or fewer people, you are the only one to ask!"
Zhou Keshan stumbled and walked beside the officer, turned around and asked: "General, what happened in Zhongdu? My two ships were buying goods in Chuzhou of the Southern Song Dynasty half a month ago, and they just returned today. Zhigu Village, I really don’t know..."
"Chuzhou!" The officer suddenly raised his voice.
An hour later.
The prison camp of Zhigu Village.
Zhigu Village is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. With strong soldiers on duty every day, there is no possibility of ordinary thieves or hooligans causing trouble. However, most of the sailors at sea were brutal and rude. After landing, they used their money to eat, drink and gamble. It was common for them to be jealous of each other and fight.
Most of these people carry weapons with them, and they are prone to splashing blood and even injuring innocent people. Therefore, when Li Yun was stationed in Zhigu Village, he set up an inspection department in the name of Qunmu Supervisor. Anyone found to be acting recklessly would be arrested and killed. People fled to sea.
This prison camp is a subordinate organization of the Inspection Department. Since it is a prison camp, the living conditions are naturally crude. They are roughly driven into the ground with rows of thick logs, digging out a depression that is slightly sheltered from the wind, and then building a grass roof. Because the surrounding terrain is low-lying and salty, so many people in the prison trampled the ground into muddy ponds. There are fewer people, and the mud ponds are slowly drying up, leaving circles of alkaline halogen on the ground.
When Zhou Keshan was kicked into the prison camp, there were many people and most of the ground was slippery and muddy, with water in the sand. He stepped on the mud, and his hands and shoulders were tied up again. He was unable to maintain his balance, so he fell to the ground and rolled. His body was immediately covered with black, yellow, white, fishy and rotten substances. The smell is offensive.
When he was about to get up, Wang Erbai was kicked in from behind. This guy was careless and didn't pay attention to avoidance, and directly bumped into Zhou Keshan who was halfway up. The two fell to the ground and rolled over, becoming more and more embarrassed. After a while, they moved to a slightly dry place and stood still.
Wang Erbai looked behind him and saw rows of wooden fences, so he kicked the wooden walls of the prison camp and yelled.
Zhou Keshan slowly stood still and glanced around.
He saw dozens of familiar captains and chiefs. Those acquaintances also saw him, and they suddenly became angry: "Old Zhou! Why are you here too?"
Zhou Keshan said blankly: "Ah?"
Someone else asked: "You are familiar with Lin Zhen, but do you know who is behind him?"
Zhou Keshan was still confused: "Ah? What's wrong with Lin Zhen?"
Everyone was asking questions one after another, and it took a while to understand that Zhou Keshan came here because of a terrible disaster. He had only gotten off the boat less than two minutes ago, and he had no idea what was going on in Zhongdu.
At that moment, everyone hurriedly explained to him and described in detail the rebellion of the leader and the watermen in Zhongdu City. It turned out that Lin Zhen was the leader of the group of traitors. Marshal Guo didn't know it during the fight and killed him. However, after asking others, he found out that it was Lin Zhen's instigation.
So here comes the question: Does Lin Zhen have the same responsibility? Whose instructions did he receive? How many people like him are there in the navy's fleet? Can Marshal Guo still trust the people in the fleet?
No one can explain it, and no one can guarantee it.
If people at sea really have any evil intentions, not only will the harm be great, but it will also be easy to escape. As long as the ship sails into thousands of miles of wind and waves, where can it not stay? Therefore, Ding Haijun just waited and waited, dispatched manpower at several ports, and directly arrested all the people who had close contact with Lin Zhen on a daily basis. If a group came ashore, they would capture a group, and the leader would be detained in a prison camp. Ordinary sailors made them stay temporarily in military camps.
Life in the prison camp was certainly not easy. Many people are also worried that if their family is involved in such a thing, it may affect the possibility of obtaining military positions and land allocations in the Ding Navy in the future, and even the prospects of serving for the Ding Navy are dimmed.
At the end of the sentence, everyone said with a sad face: "Lin Zhen, that fellow, is naturally a heinous one, but he usually has prestige and means, knows the secret of crossing the ocean to attract stars, and has a wide circle of friends. If you ask me who has interacted with him, We recognize everyone, but we never talked about the rebellion with him!"
