So this plan was carried out regardless of life and death - if it were a Chinese, they probably would not do such a crazy and uncertain thing, but the eager gambling spirit of Toutaro and his group is no less than that of them in another time and space. The elites of the imperial kingdom. 【Read the latest chapter】
Tongtaro once again followed Ning Liujin into the Jiazi camp in the name of helping deliver goods, and met Fusong as he wished.
"...We plan to rescue the young master just like this, and the time is tonight. Please prepare early, young master." Tongtaro whispered in Japanese. In order to prevent him from feeling scared, he added, "We have made complete preparations and will risk our lives to save the young master from the island."
"You go ahead and do it." Fusong's face showed a calm and determined expression that was incompatible with his age.
That night there was a dark moon and few stars, but the wind and waves were not high. On a hill near Guningtou Beach, which is the closest to the mainland, in a camouflaged observation post, Xu was monitoring the beach with a telescope.
According to estimates: Tongtaro and his gang will come here to stow away people after Li Daitao replaced Zheng Sen in Camp A. If they want to stow away across the strait at night, whether by boat or swimming, they can only go the shortest distance. Guning The head here is the closest to the mainland, so there is a high possibility that they will enter the water here.
There was a clicking sound from his walkie-talkie, which was a signal from the special reconnaissance team following the fugitive: the fugitive was heading to Guningtou according to the predicted route.
Xu Xu immediately raised his infrared telescope and searched the beach: Sure enough, seven or eight people were running wildly on the beach through the night, and one of them seemed to be carrying something. He immediately adjusted the focus and saw clearly that it was a child on his back.
"Sure enough, it's here!" Xu Xu nodded secretly.
Although he not only let things slip in this operation, but also pushed them forward, the boldness of this group of people and their daring to think and act are indeed very admirable. This final stowaway is up to them. If you are unlucky and drown in the strait, you can't blame others.
Little did Toutaro and his group know that someone was spying on them, so they came to the beach and took out the bamboo ropes that had been hidden among the rocks and tied them up in various ways. Tongtaro tied the bamboo tube for Fukumatsu and whispered: "Young Master, please don't be afraid, we will push you over."
"I'm not afraid, I can swim."
"Okay, let's go." Tongtaro said and called Duo, "Duo, you are the best at water, you will take care of the young master."
"Yes. I will protect the young master with my life."
"Everyone, listen, we are trying our best to send the young master back to the mainland! If you can't hold on any longer, you guys will come in turn!"
"Aha!"
"Asshole, speak softly!"
Tongtaro turned his head and saw that Ning Liujin had not yet tied up the bamboo tube. He said, "Tie me up too and come with us."
Ning Liujin's face turned pale: "The little one can't swim..."
Tongtaro suddenly pulled out his wakizashi and stabbed it in with a knife. Ning Liujin collapsed on the beach before he even had time to scream.
A group of people then got into the water and swam towards the opposite beach - a few days ago, Totaro had sent a person to sneak back to the mainland. At this time, this person lit three torches on the opposite side. People swimming in the strait can accurately judge whether their direction has deviated as long as they always pay attention to the three light sources in front of them.
Xu Xu saw them rising and falling in the waves. Fading away. He put down the telescope: "Tell the special reconnaissance team to shoot and see them off!"
Only Ning Liujin's body was left on the beach. The soldiers closed his eyes, which were widened in pain, and his mouth opened wide. It seemed like he wanted to scream unwillingly.
"It's a pity. This young man is quite capable. He may be a young man in intelligence work." Xu Xu watched as the soldiers carried away Ning Liujin's body. He said with some regret, "Include him in the list of intelligence bureau's outsiders who died in the line of duty. Find a sunny place in the cemetery and bury him."
Zheng Sen's escape did not cause much ripples, but the news of his father's exact death caused an even greater shock. Zhang Tumu and Xu Xu conducted a one-by-one comparison based on dozens of fingerprints extracted from various places. It was finally confirmed that a set of fingerprints appeared on all the occasions where Zheng Zhilong often appeared and on the items he commonly used. They should be the fingerprints of others. This set of fingerprints was then compared with the fingerprints on the headless corpse, confirming that the two were basically consistent.
Then several people who were close to Zheng Zhilong, such as his concubines and personal servants, were taken out from the prisoner camp and the physical characteristics of the headless corpse were identified. It was finally confirmed that this was Zheng Zhilong.
The news was then sent back to Lingao, and the Senate ordered that eleven guns should be fired from each fort in Lingao, Kaohsiung and Hong Kong. The Propaganda Department then issued the slogan "Zheng Ni was awarded the first title". This notice was not only distributed in the areas governed by the Senate, but also in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian provinces in the form of leaflets through the channels of the Foreign Intelligence Service.
A few days later, on the morning of October 10, engineers set fire to various villages, towns and camps in Anping, Kinmen, Xiamen and Gulangyu Island simultaneously, detonating a large amount of gunpowder that had been placed in the houses. The large amount of Zheng Jun gunpowder seized was of poor quality. It is very unsafe to transport, so just use it locally. Used to blast stronger buildings.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder exploded one after another, and black smoke and fire shot straight into the sky. Burning villages, towns and fortresses were everywhere along Zhangzhou Bay.
Engineers and soldiers gathered at various locations for a roll call. Then, under the escort of the navy, they marched through the streets that had begun to burn to the beat of drums. One by one, they boarded the large boats waiting in the bay. The last batch amidst the billowing black smoke. The first fleet that left Zhangzhou Bay set sail and left Zhangzhou Bay, which was almost in ruins.
This is how Operation Overlord came to an end.
Originally, ships were coming in and out frequently, there were many boats and oars, and only a dead silence remained in Zhangzhou Bay, where merchants gathered. All public and private property on the coastal islands and in Anping City were looted, and all the people were taken away. According to Xu's estimate, even if the Zheng family had enough funds, it would take more than a year and a half to regroup here. Enough to make the Senate's trade war effective.
Mingqiu stood on the bridge and looked at the scene of billowing black smoke. The emotions in his heart were very complicated. As a naval soldier who spent his entire career in peace, he came to this new time and space by chance. In his twilight years, Commanding such a joint naval and land battle that can be called a "complete victory" has already gone down in history in the naval history of this new world.
However, what the "Senate and People" Navy under his command did in Zhangzhou Bay can be called "Three Lights". Although the Fubo Army did not massacre indiscriminately, it did not distinguish between military and civilian buildings in the entire area. The massive destruction and abduction of people still troubled his conscience. In particular, tens of thousands of people, supporting the elderly and the young, boarded ships under the force of bayonets and left their homes with little family property. During the whole process, many people died on the streets, their families were destroyed, and their families were destroyed...
The morning sun shone on the deck, and the rising sun of the new empire had already appeared on the horizon, but he could no longer see the moment when this regime was at its peak - he didn't know whether this was luck or misfortune.
"I'm old...I've lived in an era of peace and prosperity for too long..." He held his hand on the railing and thought as he watched the battleship's bow cut through the sea surface driven by the roaring steam engine and stir up waves.
The first ray of golden sunlight in the morning passed through the already wide-open window, penetrated the curtains made of tulle, and shone directly into the floor of the room. It extended forward slowly and steadily along the ground until the sunlight reached the edge of the room. At the end, when you climb onto the vermilion rosewood Nanjing Babu bed, the intricate pattern reliefs on the bed frame shine brightly, the mechanical clock on the desk in the room is ticking and swinging.
“Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding——
The hands of the watch pointed to half past six. The originally peaceful room was instantly broken by this sudden sound. The alarm clock on the wenge wood table rang its bell, and the entire clock swayed from side to side, announcing that a new day was coming. Until a hand appeared, grabbed the restless alarm clock, and pressed it gently. The whole room instantly regained its tranquility.
Chu Qing re-winded the alarm clock and gently put it back to its original position. She turned around and walked past the flat desk, took off the clothes on the rack and came to the bed. She lifted the bed curtain, stepped into the bed, and put the clean Put the clothes and pants on the bedside stool, opened the bed curtain in front of the bed, and said to the bed: "Mr., clothes."
Wu Nanhai stretched his waist. In fact, he had already woken up before the alarm clock rang. In this 17th century Lingao, where there was no Internet and almost no nightlife, it was much easier to wake up on time in the morning than it was in the old time and space.
Adequate sleep and a regular life make him wake up full of energy in the morning. Under Chu Qing's service, Wu Nanhai dressed neatly and leisurely. Unlike other senators who continue to wear the clothes of the old time and space, he prefers the robes with Ming Dynasty characteristics. Of course, the robes were improved through the cooperation of several female senators and cooperative tailors. The style is closer to the gowns of the Republic of China era, which is basically Another category of "Hanfu" in time and space. But compared with modern clothing, it is still a bit complicated and requires help from others to dress neatly.
This is Wu Nanhai’s home. Although the general office has built an apartment exclusively for elders in Bairen City, Wu Nanhai can also get one by lottery as usual. However, Wu Nanhai was unwilling to leave his comfortable home on the farm, and it was convenient to carry out work at the farm at any time, so he made a report to the general office and requested that a dormitory area for the agricultural committee be built in Nanhai Farm instead of in Bairen New Town. Apartment.
This kind of dedication to work was very upright. Naturally, Xiao Zhishan could not object to it, so he revoked the lottery qualifications of Wu Nanhai and a group of other elders who were willing to live on the farm in Bairen New City, and changed them to Nanhai. A dormitory area for senior members of the Agricultural Committee was built in the farm.
