Chapter 249: It's actually very simple Time difference
When this Lin Shuban said that there was something at home, Luo Yi and Yang Shishi's soldiers and horses had not yet entered the salt field in Aoshan. In the impression of the prefect Wang's mansion, this Lin Shuban has also been a veteran official in the government for three or four years, and he has always been diligent, and he has hardly asked for a holiday.
It stands to reason that everyone has a headache and brain fever, and it is normal to say that there is something at home, and this kind of leave does not even need to be approved by the prefect, and the following criminal master nodded his head.
However, now that the prefect of the Wang Mansion is in a hurry, no matter what the news of the family members and cronies below is, they have reported it, and Lin Shuban naturally has people who don't like him, and it is naturally a suspicious thing.
The prefect of the Wang Mansion has been on errands for many years, but he has come step by step from the position of the county order to the present, and knows the truth that abnormality is a demon, but he did not rush to arrest or interrogate, but instead confessed to a letter of the official to go to the house to condole, and brought some gifts by the way.
As a result, after the official went, the secretary had not yet set off, the reason was very simple, he was packing things at home, the official was very surprised, where is this going home to visit relatives, it is clearly a moving posture, and it is obvious that the new purchase of a lot of good things, Dengzhou because of the prosperity of the private port market, a lot of southern goods and imported goods are even more complete than Jinan and Jining, the two rich places.
Many wealthy and official families in Dengzhou are buying things as a fashion, and this secretary is obviously not included in this scope, but this time, there are a lot of things in the house and yard, and looking at the family's dress is also a lot more glamorous.
The clerk's face was a little panicked, but there was no worry or anxiety on his face. Sure enough, the non-professionals did a very poor job of covering up and concealing, and after the official came to the door to greet and leave, the clerk just urged the family to hurry up and pack up his things, but he didn't leave quickly.
Although the Dengzhou Mansion was not worth mentioning in front of the Jiang Jiajun who were guerrillating Jiangfeng in Shandong, it was still a quite outstanding armed force in the Dengzhou Mansion, and the Wang Governor's Mansion sent out only six or seven horses. More than a dozen wolf-like servants rushed into the house of Lin Shuban.
Jiang Feng's style is to cut off other people's heads and scare you with the death of your accomplice, relatively speaking, the prefect's yamen is more professional, and even the Lin Shuban who was caught is also a professional person, so when the official rushed into the house, he was already collapsed, and he confessed everything he knew.
Lin Shuban is a person from Linjia Island, Jiao County, Laizhou Prefecture, because of the failure of the imperial examination, so he came to Dengzhou to be a small official, a few days ago, a relative in his hometown found him, directly asked him to say when the prefect is not in the government, what are the rules, if not in advance to notify the problem.
People who are not stupid basically know that it will not be a good thing to ask this, and this scrivener also vaguely knows what kind of business those people in his family are doing, and when he was about to refuse, the other party threatened his family and relatives who were still in Linjia Island, and also took out six hundred taels of silver. And swore that this matter has nothing to do with your prefect, but just wants to get rid of a few bastard private businessmen who offend the family's business.
Choose the prefect's door, without him, now Dengzhou does not go to the prefect's yamen for anything, the door is deserted, and the secluded place is the most convenient.
Although there are all kinds of flaws in the words, one is that the threat is here, and the other is that about six hundred taels of silver is really tempting, and it has nothing to do with it when I think about it, so I simply agreed.
It's just that this person didn't expect that the person he was going to kill in front of the door was Jiang Feng.
Wang Zhifu just put the clamp stick and brazier in front of Lin Shuban, and did not use these torture instruments from beginning to end, and asked the person who contacted Lin Shuban was nowhere to be found, so Lin Shuban left Dengzhou in a hurry. Wang Zhifu knew that he didn't need to ask anything more.
Directly stuffed people in a van car, let the officials send them to Jiang Feng's mansion, and when he left, Wang Zhifu was worried that Lin Shuban was bent on death, and said there:
"The six hundred taels of silver are all left to your family, it doesn't matter if you die, don't drag others down!"
This is clear, that is, it is best not to say a word of falsehood or falsehood in front of Jiang Feng, there are still your wives and children here, if everyone is satisfied with the six hundred taels of silver, forget it, if things are out of control, don't feel that you can die.
Jiang Feng asked not much more than Wang Zhifu asked, but there is too much information that can be obtained, Linjiadao is under the jurisdiction of Jiao County, Laizhou Prefecture, Shandong, but in fact, whether it is Jimo County, Jiao County, Lingshanwei and Aoshanwei, these have no jurisdiction over Linjiadao.
The reason why Linjia Island is called Linjia Island is because the ancestral residence of Lin Lu, a general of Yangwu Marquis, was placed here, although Lin Lu later became an official in Beijing and the northwest, but after all, the official authority was sheltered here, and the coastal residents have always been fierce.
Not to mention this kind of martial arts heirloom, over time, the Lin family of Linjiadao is already one of the largest families in Shandong's armed forces, and in the last years of Zhengde, although there are two or three people who are generals outside, these thousands of people in this family are becoming more and more majestic.
There is no other reason, generations rely on the sea, and martial arts practice has become a trend. These people naturally started the trade of bandits and private businessmen, even the nearby Aoshan salt field has a deep relationship with them, and they have to rely on this Lin family to shelter the smuggled salt on the ground in Shandong, and naturally wait until the Dengzhou camp in Jiangfeng rises, this kind of strong army to do things on the green forest road is naturally a hundred times more effective, and the space for the Lin family's activities is getting smaller and smaller.
Since ancient times, the most easy reason for resentment is money, no matter how it is calculated, Jiang Feng's subordinates control all kinds of illegal transactions in Shandong, which have damaged the original heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the way of making money for the local clans is naturally a deep hatred.
There are quite a lot of people who think this way in Yanzhou, but Chen Deaf is so chaotic, the target of the chaotic people is naturally those rich and powerful families, after a few months of rebellion, those big families and wealthy families have almost been swept away, plus Tengzhou has Yang Da's 1,500 white people in charge, and now it is extremely stable. The inland cities of Jinan are mainly landlords who operate the land, so naturally there are no such things
As for Dengzhou, Jiang Feng slaughtered the largest family, Dong Qianping's family, from the beginning, leaving only Dong Long missing.
However, in the place within Jiang Feng's sphere of influence, the Jiaozhou Bay area under the jurisdiction of Laizhou Mansion belongs to Laizhou Mansion and does not belong to the scope of Jiang Feng's guard, but whether it is salt or private businessmen here, their way out is completely blocked by Jiang Feng, and they are almost slowly trapped to death.
Jiang Feng looked at them unpleasantly, but the jurisdiction was limited, and the other party had the strength of thousands of people in his hands, so he couldn't take one or two hundred people to get rid of them.
Now it was the other party who made the first move, and after Jiang Feng tortured all the things, he didn't bother to kill a person like Lin Shuban, and threw him directly into prison.
The distance between Aoshan Salt Field and Linjia Island is so close, the front is completely based on the conclusions speculated by Jiang Feng and Liu Twelve, and it is more and more practical, although the order to Luo Yi and Yang Shi is issued, but the deployment and transfer of the army will take about ten days of preparation time, and Jiang Feng does not want to wait at all.
On the third day, Jiang Feng's Shandong guerrilla yamen suddenly handed over an urgent military report, saying that a certain fishing village in Weihaiwei was attacked by bandits, but because the guards defended in time, only one person was injured, but they caught a few dying bandits, and after fighting wits and courage, they finally learned that they were the people of Linjiazhuang on Linjia Island, where the bandits were entrenched.
Another day passed, and the "repentant" salt lord and private businessman went to Shandong guerrilla yamen to defend themselves and confess, saying that they had received the bewitchment of the bandits in Linjiazhuang and led them to attack the Wendeng salt farm, and now their conscience condemned them, and they were very uneasy, and they decided to confess and defend themselves, and make a contribution to the stability and unity of the imperial court.
Everything is in secrecy.
All the non-combatants and half of the combatants in the Yantai Mountain Thousand Households Office have been mobilized, nervously loading supplies to the ship, the manpower of the Dengzhou battalion, half of the veterans are left, and the rest are on board with one-third of the recruits, about 800 people, and Monk Li and the fleet that can be used have all been used.
After more than half a year of hard work, Jiang Feng purchased timber in Liaodong, and relied on the local craftsmen and the shipwrights hired by Monk Li in the south, and built three improved versions of the Fu ship by borrowing from the Spanish brig armed merchant ship moored in the dock.
First of all, the improvement of the keel has changed from the assembly of the Fuchuan to the single keel of the Western ship, and the support of the hull has changed from the sealed compartment of the Fuchuan to the combination of the sealed cabin and the skeleton. The traditional hard sail of the Fukubune has become a soft sail that rises above the side of the ship. The rudder, which required many people to operate, was replaced with a steering wheel that could be operated by only one person. Such an improvement, though it may seem a bit nondescript.
However, the changes in the keel and support structure have made the newly built Fu ship put six cannons, two two-pounder cannons, and four one-pound Franc machine cannons on each shiphouse, which can already be cast by itself, and now the workshop can test towards a larger cannon shape, but the type cast is always larger than Jiang Feng's requirements, so it was not loaded on the ship this time.
And because of this structural change, these ships can carry a larger capacity than before, and the wider decks and cabins can be loaded with more troops and equipment.
As for the change of sails, although the hard sail can also use the wind in the upwind state, the use of the wind in the downwind direction is not as good as the soft sail, and the hard sail is too easy to be damaged by long-range weapons, which is not as much as the soft sail.
The role of the steering wheel is more obvious, greatly improving the operator's ability to control the boat, and the agility of the sailboat is very important in the battle and movement at sea.
Although Liu Twelve's body was bumpy on land, it was obviously very uncomfortable at sea, this time it was a matter of fighting, Jiang Feng did not force him, and simply stayed in Dengzhou to arrange all kinds of evidence collection, which was actually a matter of planting.
Zhang Liang took it with him this time, the defense of the Thousand Households in Yantai Mountain was agreed upon by a hundred households with five Tieding backgrounds, and Jiang Feng was not worried about what would go wrong, not to mention that there were thousands of people in Linjiazhuang, Jiang Feng believed that he would not stay there for too long.
This operation also took the Spanish brig, and now the captain Ajaya and his more than 40 crew members are already quite comfortable, eating and drinking well every day, and there is a lot of spare money in their hands, and with the help of the interpreter, they have gradually learned a lot of Chinese.
In order to let these Spaniards do their best to train their subordinates, Jiang Feng simply gave them the treatment of instructors after imprisoning them for a few months, and gave them some silver money every month, which made the lives of these foreigners even better.
In this battle, Aguya and his crew took the initiative to ask for battle, because they had been in Jiang Feng's army for such a long time, and they already knew that the rewards for going to war were even more generous, and for these Europeans who were full of adventure and greed, the food and beautiful women in Dengzhou Capital City were far from enough to rely on tight allowances, or the rich rewards in the battle were the right thing.
In the face of the invitation to fight, Jiang Feng also agreed, because the battle at sea is still the first time for many people, and with these experienced sailors, it is more secure.
Four hours after Jiang Feng's fleet left the dock, Luo Yi and Yang Shishi's secret letter was also sent into Dengzhou City by fast horses, such a letterhead Liu Twelve has the right to open it, and after a rough sweep, Liu Twelve hurriedly followed the servants beside him and said:
"Go to Yantai Mountain, let the adults not pull it out now!"
The servants are all those clever little servants in Weishan Island and the craftsmen's family, and when they heard Liu Twelve's words, they immediately ran out of the door, and just arrived at the gate, but Liu Twelve in the back opened his mouth to stop him, patted his forehead lightly with his hand, and said to himself with a smile:
"Anyway, the rotten branches that will be cut off sooner or later, this time I won't delay!"
Turning his head to follow Luo Yi's messenger who was panting and sitting on the side, this messenger was eating a big meal, obviously in a hurry along the way, Liu Twelve said with a smile there:
"Looks like I'm going to let you go back one more time."
After writing a letter, it was packed in an iron pipe, sealed with fire paint, and placed on the table......
