Although Lin Shimao was on guard, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, Jinjiang County is very close to Anping Town, and he was helping Zheng Zhilong, so he had to think twice before moving him.
I didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless. He came in quietly and "took out his bed" immediately, killing people, robbing money and kidnapping all at once. His behavior was like that of a criminal thief who was fearless. However, it wasn't until he was captured by someone. Only by forcing a confession can we find out the other party’s true identity.
This group of people are thieves ""The fastest update and full text typed by hand
Speaking of which, this bandit is already a famous force on the Fujian and Guangdong seas. At one time, they even attacked the city of Guangzhou and killed the Pearl River until it was red...
Lin Shimao felt cold all over when he thought that he had fallen into the hands of these people. He hesitated and said that Sen Jiu Sheng and Li Shun were indeed hired by him, for which he took two hundred taels of silver.
"...It was a man I didn't recognize who asked me to hire him. I've never seen this man before - he's a middle-aged man, a very wealthy shopkeeper - and he said he wanted to hire two people who are brave enough to kill people. Once I hire someone, I will hand it over directly to her..."
"You are a dignified casino owner, and you just hire a murderer if you are asked by an outsider you don't know? Do you still know the rules?" Xu Xu said and tilted his chin, "Watch Boss Lin!" "" chapter
The team member raised the pliers again and was about to pull them out. Lin Shimao was so painful that he was sweating coldly. He couldn't bear it anymore and had to say:
"Hero, spare your life! Don't... don't do anything..."
Lin Shimao had no choice but to tell everything he knew. He did not know the person coming, but he brought a picture of Zheng Zhifeng - no one in Jinjiang City dared to disobey the Zheng family. Lord's order
"Is it Zheng Zhifeng?"
"Yes..." When he thought that he had betrayed the third master of the Zheng family, Lin Shimao was sweating like rain again: on one side was the thief who did all kinds of evil, and on the other was the Zheng family, the tyrant of Quanzhou, and he had offended both of them to death. The whole family must be crushed to ashes
"The film?" Xu Xu was stunned. He had already known that he should have brought out this film - direct physical evidence. "Where did you keep it?"
"He just showed it to me and then took it back."
"Took it back?" Xu Xu showed an expression of disbelief. Lin Shimao was afraid that he would torture him again, so he quickly begged:
"Sir! The villain is considered a figure in the company. Showing the film to me means you are giving face. How dare the villain ask him to keep the film!"
Knowing that further questioning would have no big effect, Xu Xu settled the matter. The team members detained him until evening and then took advantage of the darkness to send him to the ship to Kaohsiung.
Although the most direct physical evidence is not available, the witness of Lin Shimao is enough - anyway, the common legal concept in this time and space is still based on oral confession.
But their mission is not over yet
Just when the report on the Vestry case was sent to the Executive Committee and the Standing Committee of the Senate, the motion to declare war on Zheng Zhilong and eradicate this huge force in the Fujian coast had already appeared.
Although the two parties have formed a loose business partnership through private salt trade, there is obviously not much mutual trust between the two parties. Zheng Zhilong only maintained restraint because he was intimidated by the Australian fleet and his own very backward coral warfare capabilities. In the long run, both sides will face each other sooner or later.
How can we allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed? Both Zheng Zhilong and the Senate are planning on this.
After the materials on the Westri case were reported to Lingao in detail, public opinion declaring war on Zheng Zhilong became rampant for a while - and Wei Bachi's secret operation was indispensable for this.
To reduce his own responsibilities, he had to shift everyone's goals. Wei Bachi had already understood this line of thinking. His routine in Kaohsiung had already been criticized by the Senate, and now such a shameful thing happened again. If you want to avoid "vacation treatment", you can only make public opinion bigger. The bigger the better. Let Zheng Zhilong attract the firepower of the Senate.
As soon as the Senate starts a war with Zheng Zhilong, Kaohsiung will be the front line of the war. In order to ensure the stable operation of this base, the executive committee will never replace people on the spot. Once the battle is over, everyone will celebrate, and no one will bother to pursue him in Kaohsiung. What's the problem with the mayor? Even if he pursues it, it means nothing more than a "proper attitude and profound self-examination" and it will be over.
After Wei Bachi finished writing the report, he talked to Liu Zheng and others at a dinner meeting of Kaohsiung elders about Zheng Zhilong's secret assassination, Shuang's conspiracy, etc., showing an indignant Nirvana.
Although Liu Zheng is a royal man, for him, the "white-skinned gorilla" like the Dutch is more hateful than Zheng Zhilong. He will not feel sad or regretful at all if a "white-skinned kid" dies, but he is more He cared about the "prestige of the Senate" and became furious when he heard that the scheming group had used such dirty tricks to seriously damage the face and image of the Senate.
As the chief executive of the "Huaxia Society" of the Imperial Han Society of the Senate, Liu Zheng immediately sent a telegram to the members of the Huaxia Society, asking them to put forward a proposal to immediately eliminate Zheng Zhilong at the Senate meeting.
Then he sent a messenger with his secret message back to Lingao on a refugee boat to deliver a letter to Chang Dexin. In addition to a simple greeting, he talked about the general process of the incident and the current situation in Kaohsiung. After talking about his own views on the environment and future development of the Guanglei sect, Chang De, the soul of the Guanglei sect, understood it and immediately went to work secretly.
As a result, the Senate's calls for war against Zheng Zhilong became louder and louder - but within the Senate, there has been controversy over how to formulate countermeasures.
Most of the elders are the so-called "destructionists" who demand a complete and ruthless "crushing" of the Choho Group, uprooting the Choho Group from the coast of Fujian, cleaning out the core of the Choho Group, integrating its remnants and ships, and directly controlling the routes between Manila and Japan.
The other faction was a small number of senators, headed by Minister of Colonization and Trade Skade, who believed that this should be used as an opportunity to issue an ultimatum, requiring the Stirring Group to recognize the suzerainty of the Senate, surrender and pay tribute, and at the same time hand over half of their annual income.
The main reason for adopting this "persuasion" strategy is that Zheng Zhilong can take advantage of Zheng Zhilong's existing operational and Muhe business network, and can make huge profits without having to organize trade himself, whether it is at an executive committee meeting or a meeting of the Senate Standing Committee. He strongly recommended his plan
However, Si Kaide had too few votes. In the final vote of the Senate on how to deal with the Zheng Zhilonghe Group, his plan was rejected, and the "final solution" to the Zheng Group became a formal decision.
Skade returned dejectedly from the Bairencheng Open-Air Cinema - this earliest "mass cultural and entertainment" project built is still the place where the Senate holds plenary meetings.
He was very unhappy that the proposal was rejected at the conference. After secretly cursing countless times in his heart, "Democracy is the carnival of thugs", he returned to his office in the Ministry of Colonization and Trade and looked down from the window. There is a huge sandbox in the hall below, thinking about what to do next.
Now that his original plan to use Zheng Zhilong's power has been rejected, Old Zheng will not be able to fool around for much longer - the next thing is the business of the military affairs manager.
The Executive Committee has issued an order in accordance with the resolution passed by the Senate: dispatching two special reconnaissance detachments to the Taiwan Strait. The transfer of the special reconnaissance detachments must be issued by the Executive Committee, not by the First Fleet of the General Administration of Military Affairs, which is anchored in Kaohsiung. The steam-powered warship also received an order: "Go to the Hong Kong base immediately to receive comprehensive maintenance."
This rhythm, no matter how you look at it, is a prelude to the use of force.
Si Kaide was determined to use force from the bottom of his heart. For this reason, he was criticized for "right-leaning capitulationism" at the Senate meeting. Although he was stopped by Speaker Qian Shuiting on the spot, he knew that these people in the Senate would definitely create a lot of public opinion about this, so there was no need to It is said that someone will definitely write an article criticizing "capitulationism" in this week's "Morning Star"
However, as the Minister of Colonization and Trade, Skade had a complete understanding of the entire maritime transport map. At the current stage, there would not be too many difficulties in terms of logistics and transportation to land at Jinsha - anyway, according to the law The committee's intention is that this is a hit-and-run operation. It will not occupy the Jinxia area for a long time and will not station troops there. Therefore, the current joint transportation capacity does not need to bear additional supply tasks.
Furthermore, judging from the attributes of the Planning Institute and the specific weather and sea conditions, the final attack on Jinxia is likely to be launched in the winter of this year: first, there are no typhoons in winter, so both ferrying and amphibious landings are safe; second, The Anping ship that went to Japan for trade departed in the summer. In the winter, it just returned to the port for the winter with gold, silver, copper and dried seafood from Japan. Launching an attack at this time can yield the greatest harvest.
But in this case, the Zheng Zhilong Group may revive - Si Kaide went to Zheng Zhilong, and Li Zhilong and Liu Zhilong were born in Fujian. Moreover, the Zheng Zhilong Group has a large population. In addition to Zheng Zhilong's brothers, he also has several A few cousins and adopted brothers later became the backbone of the Zheng Group. A single raid would not be able to catch them all. If a few escape, they might come out under the banner of the Zheng family to regroup.
Of course, he could just let it go and watch the show by the way. However, as the Minister of Colonization and Trade, the result of watching the show was to be left out in the cold. He was unwilling to be squeezed out of his department and towards Zheng Worker. It would be best if he could deal with this matter. Only by inserting a foot in it can the presence of the Ministry of Colonization and Trade be fully conveyed.
Skade stared at the large map of the East Asian waters opposite him, which marked the forces of all parties and their trade routes.
How can we make the presence of the colonial and trade departments appear? (To be continued
