Chapter 704: Fishing Village
Xie Jin, a soldier of the Tiger Army, hid behind a bush and looked at the fishermen's wharf in front of him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The pier is located some distance from the nearby fishermen's village and looks very secluded.
This is Rizhao County, Shandong, the southernmost point of Shandong's coastline. At this time, more than a dozen large fishing boats were docked at the fishermen's wharf. At first glance, the big fishing boats look like they are the fishing boats of local fishermen.
But if you understand the people's situation in Shandong, you will find problems. In the past two years, because of the appearance of steam steamboats, old-fashioned fishing boats have not gone to sea very much. These dozen or so large fishing boats are also old-fashioned fishing boats that have been eliminated, and they should have been towed to the shore, so how could they be parked on the pier and let the wind and rain blow?
If you look closely, you can see that the dozen or so large fishing boats seem to be full of goods, heavy, and they are parked on the dock without moving.
Xie Jin knew that it was the ship of the counterfeit money thieves. The ship was heavy, full of goods that had been exchanged for counterfeit money.
Since Grandpa Guo blocked the border, there have been a lot fewer counterfeit banknotes in Shandong and Tianjin. In the past ten days, Xie Jin had not heard of new counterfeit banknotes popping up. Obviously, the channels for counterfeit banknotes to enter Shandong by land have all been blocked by the Tiger Ben army.
But in the past few days, counterfeit banknotes have appeared on the market again.
There is no doubt that the thieves brought in the counterfeit money from the water.
Xie Jin heard that the newly counterfeit banknotes made Zheng Hui, the governor of Shandong, overjoyed. Because of the waterways to transport goods, it is much more difficult to hide your whereabouts than on land trails. If you use a boat to transport it, you will inevitably find a wharf that can dock, and it will be impossible not to deal with the local people in Shandong.
If it were in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, it might be possible to spend some silver to buy off the local fishermen and deliver goods in a small remote fishing village at will. The people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty are all suffering from being bullied by the officials and gentry, and they have no consciousness of safeguarding the interests of the official family.
But in Shandong, this kind of buying in broad daylight will not work.
The people of Shandong have been blessed by the Duke of Jinguo. Take this small fishing village as an example, after buying steam fishing boats on credit from the Duke of Jinguo over the years, he immediately became rich. In this era, the fishing industry was originally all about casting nets in the offshore waters, and the fishery resources in the far seas were completely unexploited, and the abundance was surprisingly rich. Every time the fishing boat goes out to sea, it returns with a full load, and it is thousands of catties and thousands of catties to transport fish to the wharf.
Although the price of seafood has plummeted to the point where everyone can afford to eat fish, fishermen are still swelling their pockets. Today, the income of the fishermen in this small fishing village can be directly compared to that of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army.
The fishermen's lives have been turned upside down, and the fishermen will naturally be grateful to the fishermen.
The traitor who transported the counterfeit banknotes paid a lot of money to buy the chief of the fishing village, thinking that he could sit back and relax. They didn't know that the world in Shandong was different from that of Nanzhili, and that the more than 100 fishermen in this fishing village were Li Zhi's eyes.
The traitor's boat had only docked in the fishing village for two days, and the Rizhao magistrate appointed by Li Zhi immediately learned of the situation and immediately dispatched a platoon of the Tiger Ben Army and a hundred local policemen to arrest him.
Xie Jin had been ambushed here for a whole day. According to the platoon commander's plan, the GIs were to catch all the traitors when they finished the acquisition and returned to the fleet to prepare for sailing, and they would not let go of a single fish that slipped through the net.
In the bushes, Xie Jin looked at the platoon commander and asked again: "Platoon leader, if we serve the thieves in one pot this time, how much reward can each of us share?" ”
The platoon commander was a little tired of Xie Jin's verbosity, glared at Xie Jin, and scolded: "Poor soldier, didn't you divide the grange in Liaodong, why are you so short of money?" ”
Xie Jin Zhengse said: "Platoon leader, my small grange is contracted to the service team, and I only have an income of thirty taels a year. My sister will be married in December, and I will prepare a dowry for her. ”
"In these years, the people of Tianjin are richer than the other, and in our county, it is a shame to say that there is no eighty taels of dowry..."
The platoon commander sneered and said, "Your big brother is righteous!" ”
"It's not that I'm righteous, my sister is really pitiful, the so-called eldest brother is like a father..."
Xie Jin was chattering there, and the platoon commander suddenly slapped Xie Jin's head and shouted, "Don't say it, the thief is coming." ”
Two hundred meters away, the thieves drove more than a dozen four-wheeled carriages to the fishing village wharf. Xie Jin's face froze, and he bowed his body.
The platoon commander waved his hand to signal Xie Jin to calm down.
"Wait, when they all stand on the dock and have no way to escape, then rush out and serve them in a pot."
Xie Jin looked at the platoon commander and felt that this Qiu Ba was really calm.
When the thieves arrived at the wharf, they were very happy to see that the big fishing boats on the wharf were safe and sound. They pulled up the wagon in front of the dock and began to unload the wagon. What kind of silk and bronze utensils, the traitors buy the most valuable goods with counterfeit money.
Just as the thieves were loading the ship, the bushes rang out with a "pop!" There was a crisp sound, and the platoon commander fired a shot into the air.
"Rush! Get them! None of them are allowed to be let go! ”
Forty Tiger soldiers and a hundred policemen rushed towards the traitor two hundred meters away, like tigers descending from the mountain.
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army are okay, with rifles in their hands, and their momentum is not so strong. Thirty veteran policemen armed with handcuffs were much more imposing, and they charged quickly with handcuffs, and they were really ready to shoot at any time.
More than 100 traitors suddenly became a mess.
Some people grabbed their heads and fled into the distance, leaving the carriage behind, trying to escape from this small fishing village. But as soon as they saw that the traitors were about to flee, the forty Tiger Army soldiers stopped, crouched on the ground and took aim and fired. The green-skinned scoundrels who escaped dozens of meters were all shot, fell to the ground one after another, and rolled on the ground with convulsions.
When the others saw that they could not escape on land, they fled to the boat. They fled to the fishing boat, quickly put away the anchor, and tried to sail away.
But where is the launch of this sailboat so simple? They hadn't put the anchor away yet, and Xie Jin's platoon commander had already led more than a hundred people to attack the dock.
Those policemen were even more excited than the GIs of the Tiger Army. Probably because there is less money per month on weekdays, the high bounty of this operation stimulated these policemen. Of course, the more important thing is the merit points, and being a policeman is no better than a soldier of the Tiger Army, but there is no chance to save so many merit points at one time.
In these years, the meritorious points are the grange in Liaodong, which is the silver of white flowers.
The 30 handcuffed policemen were in a state of complete charge, climbing along the rope nets of the fishing boat.
The traitors on the fishing boat still wanted to resist, and the police had already opened fire.
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
Crisp gunshots rang out, and the traitors on the fishing boat were shot one by one and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
The lazy green-skinned scoundrel is the opponent of the police and soldiers. In a short time, the police and GIs took control of more than a dozen fishing boats and held back more than 100 traitors.
The platoon commander climbed onto the largest fishing boat and found the leader of more than a hundred traitors.
The platoon commander kicked the traitor in the head one by one, kicking the leader of the traitor who was kneeling on the ground and rolling on the fishing boat.
"Don't kick me! Don't kick me! I'm a minion too. ”
"Say! Who told you to spread counterfeit money! ”
"Official, it's Ruan Dacheng! Ruan Dacheng let us come! ”
"Isn't Ruan Dacheng writing opera?"
"It's really Ruan Dacheng!"
The platoon commander snorted coldly and asked, "Where did you print the counterfeit banknotes?" ”
"In Anqing Fucheng! Ruan Dacheng is sitting there! ”
