Chapter 243: There Are No Dead Aoshan Salt Works
Chapter 243: There Are No Dead Aoshan Salt Works
Aoshan is under the jurisdiction of Laizhou, which is also one of the few areas on the coastline of Shandong that is not controlled by Jiangfeng, and Aoshan has a guard. However, basically some soldiers who wore military uniforms to farm the land, and no one expected them to have any ability to protect their families and defend the country, so the Aoshan Salt Works were attacked by the Japanese Invaders. There were a number of dead and wounded documents, and everyone was not surprised, and no one even pursued the problem of what guards were not good for defending.
It was also in the sea fog weather that the Japanese invaded and killed ashore, and it is said that many Yanding households were still slaughtered in their sleep. Heavy casualties.
The local Gaomi Zhi County was quite indignant and said in an official document: Could it be that the Shandong guerrillas did not care about anything just because there was a gap between the jurisdictions? The meaning between the words is that Jiang Feng does not care about the lives of the people in the same province at all, and speaking of which, the important duty of Jiang Feng's guerrilla in Shandong is to appease the locality.
When he was newly appointed, he was made to such a thing, and he was quite disgraced. But he also knows that there is no such coincidence in the world, and now the name of Jiangfeng's Dengzhou battalion is quite loud among the coastal pirates, and the Dengzhou battalion chopped melons and vegetables and killed hundreds of pirates at the foot of Yantai Mountain.
When Jiang Feng went down to the south of the Yangtze River, the enemy outside Hangzhou City was spread in various ways, and he even said that this matter was superb. It's almost an eight-foot-long, three-headed, six-armed figure. This is a rumor from an ignorant villager, but those who understand the danger of swords and soldiers know the truth, and they will feel that Jiang Feng and his subordinates are even more powerful and terrifying.
Who would easily touch the tiger's buttocks, if it was said that the Japanese invaders did not have long eyes, Jiang Feng didn't believe it at all, and besides, the Japanese were mainly smuggling and sea looting, did they go ashore and not loot the villages, but went to scourge the salt fields, could it be that they ate too lightly at sea and needed some salty spices.
This matter is full of suspicions, but the entry point of the investigation is also quite painful, Li Guangtou's water relations are mostly in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and most of Jiangfeng's green forest relations are on the road, and this kind of Japanese pirates who move and attack on sea boats, especially those who are active in the sea of Shandong, really have no clue.
Since the salt works should not be destroyed by robbery, there must be some signs of such an anomaly. Jiang Feng arranged for his men to be firmly monitored in more than a dozen salt farms in Shandong to see what was abnormal.
The salt works in Aoshan suffered from military disasters, and the local guards and nearby officials were firmly blocked around the salt works, and ordinary people could not get close at all.
Dengzhou itself is not too strong a secret force, that is, the number of so-called fine spies is not large, each salt field is one or two people staring, and the people staring around the Aoshan salt field are dressed as a jujube seller, dangling between the Aoshan Guard and the salt field, although Shandong is a jujube producer.
However, Aoshan is near the sea, the kind of environment full of salt, it is difficult for jujube trees to survive, but in Shandong, it is quite particular about adding jujube to steamed pasta, and it is around the end of the year, the demand for jujube among the households is quite small, and the merchants who sell jujube are not uncommon.
In the past, the salt works were very lively, but now they are because of the so-called "Japanese raids", so the soldiers outside are closely guarded, and the spies are quite strange when they wander around the salt works, and dozens of people have died.
It must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause an epidemic, and as a result, the spy calculated that when he came here, only ten days had passed since the attack of the Japanese invaders, but no matter how much he inquired, there was no news of burying the corpses, and you must know that the salt works have high requirements for groundwater and the surrounding environment.
And there are also taboos of one kind or another, burying a corpse in a salt pan is very unlucky, and of course it will cause pollution.
However, it is very strange that a single corpse was never sent out of the salt pan, as if to answer the doubts about the disposal of the corpse outside, and on the fifth day after the spy appeared, a huge fire was lit outside the salt pan, saying that the corpse was burned.
With the burning of the corpses, the surrounding villages and towns were panicked because of the Japanese Kou gradually calmed down, and the Dengzhou camp gave the secret agents quite resolutely, that is, they were not allowed to return to Dengzhou if they did not find out what happened, so the secret agents also stayed patiently.
After the corpse was burned, the guards were not so tightly guarded, and the small traders in the nearby villages and towns began to go to the area around the salt works to do business.
When the small traders were selling, they naturally wanted to chat with their families about homely gossip, and after the secret agent sold dates on the first day, he left Aoshanwei the next day. Because when I was talking, an aunt said inadvertently: Immortals prefer to pretend to be dead, this month is really sulking.
No one could have imagined that this peddler had a lot of silver in his hands, and after receiving the news, he rode a cart to the town on the edge of Aoshan, spent money to buy a fast horse, and quickly headed towards Dengzhou.
The spies in the salt works in various places have played their own news, except for the person in Aoshan who hurried back, the others are usually sending back messages, and the rest are as usual, the only thing that has problems is the salt field in Aoshan.
In the Ninghai salt field in Wendeng County, it has been personally inspected by Yang Shishi, and the dead and injured are buried in the mountains near Wendeng.
Since everyone has no problem, abnormal affairs are demons, and there must be a greasy existence in the Aoshan Salt Farm. However, the place of Aoshan is quite embarrassing and belongs to the jurisdiction of Laizhou Prefecture. Although Jiang Feng's official position is promoted quite quickly, Shandong guerrilla towns of Dengzhou, Jinan, and Yanzhou, but he is often hated for acting too aggressively, Jiang Feng has always been extremely domineering, so the opinion of his colleagues is that he does not dare to say anything on the surface, but he obstructs it in private, or he is rubbing over official documents.
Jiang Feng also knew in his heart that now just based on a woman's words and the abnormality of handling the corpse, there was nothing he could do about Aoshan. However, Jiang Feng has always done things without any mud and water, and directly issued an order to reduce the amount of salt from the Aoshan Salt Farm and the Jimo Salt Farm by seven points.
In addition, the excess salt is replenished by other salt farms, and the quota of three points of salt is left.
I'm not afraid that he will jump out, but what I'm afraid of is that he won't come out.
By the way, Jiang Feng has already built three ships in the shipyard under the private port of Yantai Mountain, but unfortunately it is not the kind of Spanish brig, but a lucky ship.
Jiang Feng's secret agents were closely monitoring others in Shandong, but they didn't know that they also had eyes on him, and now the secret forces in the capital were all in the hands of Huang Jin, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, because Jiang Feng did not hesitate to give gifts every month.
Moreover, he has inextricable business dealings with Huang Ping in Jining, so Jinyiwei's secret agents do not monitor him too closely. What Jiang Feng is doing now is just a greedy and brave military attache in the eyes of these bigwigs who control the world.
Such people are also relieved, so there is no stalking such as secret agents. On weekdays, the Dengzhou Dusi in Jiangfu is now the Shandong guerrilla yamen, and there are several Jinyi guards on duty according to the usual practice, which is the same as the duty of Liu's Mansion when Jiangfeng was in Jingshi.
Of course, these people may not have Jiang Feng's luck and courage to snatch back a wife from Liu's mansion, we have already said before, because of the private salt and private port in Dengzhou, the so-called private economy is already quite prosperous, all kinds of wealthy businessmen and private tyrants come and go, and restaurants and tea shops are also opening more and more.
Dengzhou naturally can't be like the capital, there is a place for high-ranking officials and nobles to live, although Jiang Feng's mansion is heavily guarded, there are still some traders and the like peddle business around, because this is the place where the most purchasing power of people gather.
Among these vendors was a middle-aged man who trafficked in dried fruit. This middle-aged man is quite inconspicuous, every day he sets up a stall in a corner on the west side of the front of Jiangfeng Mansion, and some people around him also notice that he came here two months ago, and now the world is difficult, everyone is here to beg for food, so much mind cares about what others do, not to mention that this person's path is complete, and there is no problem at all.
Although Jiang Feng is on the side of Dengzhou Mansion and no one dares to provoke him, he really offends a lot of people, so Jiang Feng is stationed in Dengzhou Mansion with two hundred elite soldiers at any time, these people are the elite trained by him and Zhang Liang, and there are many people who are not bad characters compared to Tie Ding.
Moreover, Jiang Feng also knew that several female dependents around him were all powerless official ladies, but they had a very close relationship with him, and in addition to the relationship between husband and wife, there were some business secrets, if they were coerced. It's really troublesome. Therefore, Jiang Feng went out to fight, and if he could send a few female dependents to Liu Shunhua, he would try to send them to him, and if he couldn't, he would take them with him as much as possible.
This time, the Japanese invaded the salt farm, and they were strictly ordered to be in the mansion, so as not to have any problems with the turmoil in public security, until Jiang Feng came back, and the two sisters who had stayed in the mansion for more than two months and did not come out could come out to breathe. Zhao Xiucai arranged for the carriage to stop in front of the door.
The angle of the famous seller of dried fruits happened to be the person who could see the person entering and exiting the front door, and it was not yet noon, but the weather gradually warmed up, and the vendor was also a little drowsy, but was startled by the crisp laughter that suddenly sounded at the door, and the little girl Su Guanyue got the opportunity to go out. was held by her sister Su Guanxue and stood on the steps with joy.
The peddler wiped his eyes and looked over again in disbelief, but the two sisters were already in the carriage.
"The Su sisters are actually here!!"
