Liu Chengfeng's enthronement ceremony must not be wrong, there is no need to have the slightest doubt, because the ceremony is not only Liu Chengfeng's face, but also the foundation of the Chu State. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Prestige is not a joke, once a person loses his prestige, it will make people covet, Chu State has nearly one percent of the world's wealth, if it is seen that it is only a strong outsider, just like a child with ingots in his hand, in this world of the weak and the strong, it will inevitably encounter accidents.

Not to mention, there are so many envoys, kings and envoys, once something goes wrong with these people, Liu Chengfeng can't afford it.

The enthronement ceremony is not only a celebration of Liu Chengfeng's ascension to the throne, but also a manifestation of Chu State's declaration of its strength to the countries of the South Seas.

Now four ships full of firearms have been hijacked, according to the description, it is very likely that Mingjiao did it, Mingjiao and Liu Chengfeng do not share the sky, Liu Chengfeng has repeatedly attacked Mingjiao, and now Mingjiao is wantonly operating in Lianzhou, Liu Chengfeng is convinced that they will take the opportunity to make trouble, to retaliate, or they have a deeper conspiracy, but in any case, Liu Chengfeng must find them out one by one, and wipe them out.

Li Dongdong has already left, and Wen Zheng, Gao Qiang, and Yang Ting, the local Jinyi Wei Qianhu, will be invited.

Wen Zheng followed Liu Chengfeng to Lianzhou, although he has now lost the errand of the Jinyi Guard, but Liu Chengfeng is also quite dependent on this father-in-law, and has appointed him as the general of the five military camps, these five military camps seem to look like military positions, but in fact, under the five military camps, they are divided into five institutions, namely the Arrest and Robbery Department, the Suppression Camp, the Righteous Forbidden Mansion, the Prison Prison, and the Troublemaking Mansion.

The Department of Arrest and Theft will be in charge of all patrols and arrests in the Chu State in the future, which is no different from the police station in later generations.

The Pacification Battalion is in charge of a battalion of 3,000 horses, who are responsible for suppressing small-scale popular uprisings or rebellions, and belong to the internal armed forces.

The Righteous Forbidden Mansion specializes in supervising major cases, once the problem that the Arrest and Robbery Department cannot solve, then it will be handed over to the Righteous Forbidden Mansion for disposal, and the Righteous Forbidden Mansion even undertook some of the duties of the Jinyi Guard, and the rebellion against the major cases was mostly handled by the Righteous Forbidden Mansion, if it had to be compared, it was somewhat similar to the National Security Bureau of later generations.

After all, Chu is not the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty mostly exiles prisoners, but the Chu State is only so big, where can the prisoners be exiled? This prison naturally replaced the traditional function of assassination and exile.

The last offender is used to sort out the traffic arteries in various places and arrest road bandits.

The five military battalions are in charge of these five functions, which belong to the organs of the Chu State to maintain internal security, and the power is not small, Wen Zheng, the general, is already roughly equivalent to the secretary of the political and legal committee of later generations, except for the right to judge and customize the criminal law belongs to Bing Cao, and the rest is in his hands.

As for Gao Qiang, now he is in the position of the general of the Inner Guard, is the leader of the Inner Guard Battalion, the Inner Guard Battalion has a total of 3,000 people, taking turns to garrison the palace, with great power and responsibility, all the Janissaries are selected from the army, in addition to rotating on time, the rest of the time is training and drilling, Gao Qiang used to be just a guard in the palace who did not show the dew, and since then he has been following Liu Chengfeng, and has never slacked off. Liu Chengfeng specially arranged a mansion for him in Lianzhou, and even brought his family members together.

To thoroughly investigate the big case of Wynn Commercial Bank, these two people naturally have to come. As for Yang Ting, another Jinyi Wei Qianhu Yang Ting, Yang Ting had been Liu Chengfeng's confidant before, otherwise it would be impossible to transfer him to a place like Lianzhou with a major relationship, although Yang Ting is no longer under Liu Chengfeng's command, but he is still loyal to Liu Chengfeng, even if he is not loyal, don't forget that the current Jinyi Weidu commander is also one of Liu Chengfeng's left and right arms Chen Hongyu, Liu Chengfeng asked him to assist in this case, naturally it is not a problem.

The three of them actually received the news before, at this time, the king of Chu naturally did not dare to slack off, and rushed over in a hurry, entered Liu Chengfeng's study, and was about to salute, Liu Chengfeng's eyes looked at the three of them, and said solemnly: "No need to be polite, you must also know about the matter, this king suspects that this matter is not unrelated to Mingjiao." ”

Yang Ting wanted to comfort Liu Chengfeng, and said with a dry smile: "Your Highness, maybe this is just the work of ordinary thieves. ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly: "Robbing four lucky ships, don't forget, these four lucky ships have more than 300 people, to rob these ships, it is impossible to rob these ships without 500 warriors, can gather more than 500 warriors, is it just a small thief?" Moreover, ships transporting firearms are often more heavily protected than other ships, and if these people just want to make money, how can they fight Wynn Firm's idea? As far as the Lone King knows, everything went smoothly this time, which shows that this is a long-term plan by the other party. ”

Yang Ting was speechless, in fact, he had already expected that this was a big case, and it was not trivial, Fang Cai's words were nothing more than a relief to Liu Chengfeng, so that he didn't have to worry. And Liu Chengfeng is also from Jinyiwei, what a shrewd person, but it made Yang Ting passive all of a sudden, Yang Ting had to laugh dryly: "Your Highness is wise, you can organize so many warriors, and you must be able to deploy like this, it must be not small." ”

Wen Zheng was the most steady, and at this time he couldn't help but say: "Yes, these people not only robbed the firearms in the ship, but even took away the four Dafu ships, which shows that there must be people behind these people who are planning for them, the old man on the port has already inquired, four such big lucky ships can only be moored in deep-water ports, and there are only seventeen or eighteen ports available for mooring in various places in the South Seas, if they want to supply, they must let the ships enter the port, which means that behind them, there are bigger people to protect them." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, the four stolen ships are so obvious, once they enter the port, they will definitely be seen, and most of the ports are under the control of the Ming Dynasty, who has such a great ability to cover the entry of these four stolen ships?

From beginning to end, Gao Qiang didn't speak, he wanted to say something, but he was a guard, and he didn't know anything about the criminal name, so he could only listen blankly.

Liu Chengfeng said: "What are the deep-water ports for Fu ships to berth?" Except for ports controlled by comptoirs. ”

"There are two ports, both of which are controlled by the Franciscans, one in Java and the other in Luzon." Yang Ting replied without hesitation, he has been in Lianzhou for so long, he has long been the head snake of Nanyang, and Jinyiwei has set up hundreds of Jinyiwei offices in various places in Nanyang, and no news can escape his eyes.

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "In this way, this case may also have something to do with Franco?" ”

Yang Tingzheng said: "Although Mingjiao is suspicious, but the humble thinks that there are a lot of suspicions of the Francos, in recent years, the Francophiles have flocked in, especially after the Ming Dynasty opened the sea trade, the Francophiles saw that it was profitable, and they migrated to the South Seas in a big way, attacking cities everywhere, occupying the ports of various countries as territory, and even some Francophiles landed on the pretext, under the pretext that the ships were stranded, and the land was waiting for the rescue of the accomplices, but after settling down, they built fortresses and ports on a large scale, and then there was a steady stream of accomplices to settle in, Among them, the Franco-machine people in Java are the most rampant, entrenched in nearly 100,000 people, including Spaniards, Portuguese, and the most are said to be Dutch, in addition to Aceh, Luzon and other places There are also many Franco-machine people entrenched. These people are not small, and it is easy to rob four lucky ships. ”

Liu Chengfeng hesitated for a while, if this was done by the Franco, then the matter might be much simpler, but a new question arose, the Francosine was not unable to make muskets, and the craft of making gunpowder had long been proficient, if these people were greedy for money and profits, why didn't they rob ships full of porcelain or silk, why did they only value the four arms ships of Wynn Firm? Are they so eager to take risks for the sake of these four arms ships, and perhaps even incur retaliation?

But if it is Mingjiao, logically speaking, Mingjiao is just an underground organization and does not have full control over a certain port, then why didn't they just hijack the goods on the four ships, but also hijack the ships, and what do they want these four lucky ships to do? What are these four lucky ships of use for them? Even if they were useful, where would these four ships hide?

Things seemed to be getting more and more inexplicable, Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment, and said: "This case is too big, this king plans to investigate it in person, from now on, Gao Qiang ......" Liu Chengfeng's eyes fell on Gao Qiang, and said: "The Praetorian Guard Battalion must tighten the garrison in the palace, as well as the envoys and vassal kings who arrived in Lianzhou, they must be properly handled, and there must be no mistakes, understand?" ”

It's right to find Gao Qiang for the protection of the garrison, Gao Qiang didn't know anything about the criminal name, and he couldn't hold back his silence, but now when it comes to his own useful things, he naturally lifted his spirits and said: "Humble and take orders!" ”
