Pingtan Island is also known as Haitan Island. The island is 30 kilometers long from north to south and 20 kilometers wide from east to west, making it the sixth largest island in China and the largest island in Fujian. For the record of Pingtan is there when Qin Shi Huang hits it, and although the name is constantly changing, it has always been inhabited by residents, and it is not a desert island. Basically, Pingtan Island belongs to Fuqing County, Fuzhou, and has a long history.

Pingtan is known as the "Thousand Reefs Island County", surrounded by 120 islands and 700 reefs, and the terrain is very complex. The main island of Pingtan Island covers an area of 270 square kilometers, which is almost five times the size of Nanri Island. When Geng Jingzhong began to build the Pingtan Military Port, the island had a total population of more than 62,000 people. Originally, many of the island's residents were fishermen, but due to the Qing court's ban on the sea, the fishing boats here were pulled up and burned. If it continues like this, in a few years, the younger generation will not be rowing.

The Pingtan Military Port was built in the north of Pingtan Island, opposite the east coast and the East Itch Island and the Little Itch Island, where there were originally two villages, but they were moved away by the navy. In fact, in the northern part of Pingtan Island, from north to south, about one-fifth of the island's land area is now designated as a naval base. Most of the nearly 10,000 people here were moved to the south, and some went ashore. Of course, correspondingly, Geng Jingzhong also gave generous compensation.

Now, the newly built shipyard is also located here. However, it is not close to the military port, but in the westernmost part of the northern region. It is also located in the northernmost part of the Haitan Strait, with deep water and small waves. Ideal for building a shipyard. The blockaded northern part of Pingtan Island. It has now become a large construction site. Simple storerooms are lined up one after the other. A large amount of shipbuilding materials are piled up here. The 15,000 people who moved from the Mawei shipyard were all housed in their original houses.

In the partition area of the island, a battalion of soldiers and horses was stationed, and no one was allowed to approach, nor was any worker allowed to go out. Around the shipyard, a battalion of soldiers and horses was also stationed to guard it. All the supplies were transported here by special transport ships, and they did not pass through the residents of Pingtan Island. The sea outside the new shipyard. There are also navies stationed on Dalian Island and Xiaolian Island, and dozens of patrol boats patrol back and forth every day 10 kilometers away at sea. Anyway, just one thing, don't let anyone find out about the situation here.

The workers of the shipyard have slowly begun to adapt to this new place. At present, only the women and blacksmiths responsible for the weaving of sails have something to do in the shipyard, and there are plenty of raw materials for these works. You can start preparing early. And most of the craftsmen of the shipbuilding department had nothing to do for a week in a row, doing nothing all day. Director Jason was also in a hurry, so he sent the workers to help build the dockyard.

Twenty docks, filled with cement and concrete for a ship, were built quickly, but more than three times faster than when the docks were built at Mawei Shipyard. Jiang Dehong's 11th and 12th battalions received an order to change their guard three days ago, and they continued to garrison the northern area of Pingtan Island after the 7th and 8th battalions. He himself, as the direct superior of the two battalions, also went with the army. Although this Pingtan Island is much larger than Nanri Island, the conditions of this northern area are not as good as Nanri Island Dazhai.

This side is basically some of the most ordinary houses, and the Nanri Island side is full of square buildings, and it is not ordinary to live in it. Moreover, it is really difficult to be stationed, and it is also very boring, and I don't even have much time to train, either walking back and forth to check the situation, or standing on a high watchtower and observing from time to time into the distance. The workers on the island were ordered not to return home for a year, so they were given a lot of preferential treatment in wages.

Jiang Dejun didn't know that he had been exposed at the moment, and he was still immersed in the dream of being promoted to become rich. Under Geng Jingzhong's command, no matter how high he rises, it is impossible for him to become a feudal official, let alone replace the Geng family as the king of Jingnan. In general, no one is born willing to be a traitor, and most of the time it is a last resort.

Jiang Dejun can also be regarded as a last resort, at least at the beginning. Twenty-six years ago, in the year the Manchu Qing Dynasty had just entered the city, the troops of the three feudal clans had entered Beijing with Dolgon, and were soon sent to the front to fight against the Southern Ming army. In that short period of time in the capital, a series of things happened that made him a lackey of Xiaozhuang.

At that time, the little emperor of Shunzhi had just ascended the throne, and Xiaozhuang was only thirty-two years old. She is indeed a capable woman, and after compromising to be fulfilled by Dorgon, she is constantly planning for her son, among which winning over the generals of the three feudal clans is also one of the means, but she didn't expect that it would be like this when she developed to this point.

At the beginning, Jiang Dejun fell in love with a woman in the capital, and it happened that this woman was still a Manchu, the daughter of the Eight Banners nobleman Hesheri, although she was a concubine, but after all, she was a Manchu. According to the Manchu edicts, Manchu and Han could not intermarry. However, Jiang Dejun was also handsome and chic at that time, and he could do everything with archery and horseback, and he was also taken by the youngest daughter of the Hesheri family. The two were happy in private, and the guide was secretly knotted. This matter happened to be discovered by Xiaozhuang, who was willing to inquire.

Xiaozhuang didn't make a statement, after all, Jiang Dejun was just a thousand-household title at the time, and it was not worth her publicity. However, she still used her power to suppress this matter, and secretly helped Jiang Dejun and the youngest daughter of the Hesheri family to secretly buy a house, and in the end, Jiang Dejun had a son in the capital. This matter is very secretive, and even Geng Jimao and the other generals around him don't know about it. Jiang Dejun really didn't dare to sue anyone, otherwise it would be the crime of killing the head.

Such a big handle is in the hands of others, and his wife and son are also staying in the capital, Jiang Dejun is naturally obedient, until now, he has climbed to the high position of the Geng family's army leader, and he is still secretly doing things for Xiaozhuang. After King Jingnan began to garrison Fujian, Dolgon was dead, Xiaozhuang took control of the imperial court, and her son Shunzhi took charge of the government in advance. So Xiaozhuang asked Jiang Dejun to send the movements of King Jingnan to the capital on time. During this period, Xiaozhuang also offered him generous conditions, and the most attractive one for him was. After the abolition of the three feudatories. He can be promoted to the rank of Governor of Fujian. Governor of Fujian.

This is much stronger than his current position as a chief, although this commandery is not bad, he still has 4,000 troops in his hands. However, after all, the leaders are subject to the control of others, and they have to listen to other people's orders all day long. If he is the governor of Fujian, it will be different, the military power of the whole Fujian is in his hands, and he is a real feudal official. With the support of Xiaozhuang and the support of the Hesheri family, it will not be difficult to climb up when the time comes!

In the past two years, most of Geng Jingzhong's actions, Jiang Dejun has reported to Xiaozhuang, of course, Jiang Dejun did not know about the preparations made in secret, after all, although he is a leader, he is not Geng Jingzhong's cronies. Nor is it a central figure. The intelligence agency established by Geng Jingzhong, he only vaguely knew about it. It's related to the princess square. As for the musket and artillery workshops, they were always guarded, and he couldn't get close.

Jiang Dejun only knew that the Mawei Army had a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses, and as for the pirates who were recruited, they were all placed on the island, and all of them became part of the navy. He spent most of his time in the Mawei barracks in the past few years, and he had no chance to go to sea with the navy. Several times the opportunity to clean up pirates at sea and accompany the land army were all covered by Ma Jiuyu and Zeng Yangxing, and his four battalions did not take a chance. It was only during the last Great War of the Japanese that one of his battalions was transferred to the Fourth Fleet, and he had the opportunity to go to sea to fight.

As for how much Jiang Dejun reported to the capital, Geng Jingzhong is not very clear, but it is certain that Geng Jingzhong's actions in name must be known to the imperial court. It is the starting point of the town, in the name of opening iron ore to dig gold mines, Xiaozhuang must also know. However, those two gold mines only produce gold worth more than two million taels of silver every year, which is similar to the private tax income of the Shang family in Guangzhou.

Geng Jingzhong has completely calmed down about Jiang Dejun being a traitor. Since there is such a big traitor, he must be more cautious in his future actions, and he must be careful at every step. Li Guangdi has already arranged for the order to capture Jiang Dejun, so Jiang Dejun will definitely not be able to escape.

"See Master Jiang, my general sent me to ask, 'It's really boring to stay here these days, Brother Jiang, do you want to accompany my brother and me to go around the sea and drink and fish by the way?' At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Yingyuan, the captain of the Fourth Fleet of the Navy, sent people to the newly built shipyard and specially invited Jiang Dejun to go to sea. The 4th and 5th Detachments were stationed at Pingtan Military Port, and in addition to training, they went out to sea to patrol every day, and their generals also felt quite bored. I often get together to chat, drink or something, of course, you can't drink alcohol in the barracks, so I ran to the shipyard.

Xu Yingyuan and Jiang Dejun have become very good friends in the two months of the expedition, and this time they are stationed together on Pingtan Island, so it is common for them to meet and drink together. "Okay, it's really panicked to be in such a small place all day. I'm tired of seeing these mountains and rivers, and there's nothing new. Take you out on the sea, and maybe even run into some foreign merchant ships and have fun on their merchant ships! Jiang Dejun readily agreed.

When the navy patrols the sea, it has the right to request that it be inspected on board a foreign vessel. The main thing is to check whether there are any over-standard artillery on those ships, so as not to pretend to be the enemy and cause damage to Houyu Port and so on. Under normal circumstances, these merchant ships are no problem, and with the reputation of the Mawei Navy in the nearby seas, no one is so blind that they dare to go to Fuzhou to make trouble. However, landing on a foreign fleet and going to the ship to inspect it, there is basically some "gain". Although military discipline clearly states that it is forbidden to accept bribes, some foreign gadgets given by foreign friends are still allowed.

Jiang Dejun also knew this, and he was really bored here, so he readily agreed. When patrolling at sea, it is not the third-class giant ships that are used, but generally the fifth-class warships and smaller clippers. At most, that is, a few fourth-tier warships will be sent out and patrolled according to the size of three warships and a small team. Xu Yingyuan, as the captain of the detachment, wanted to go out to patrol and check, of course, he wanted to dispatch a giant ship. Jiang Dejun took two personal guards, rode on his horse for only a quarter of an hour, and came to Pingtan Military Port.

It's not the first time he's come to this Pingtan Military Port, and the soldiers on his body also know the military uniform. "Hello Chief!" Jiang Dejun and the three came to the camp gate, dismounted and entered the military port camp. The guards immediately saluted, which is also the rule in the army. It is no different from the generations to come. Xu Yingyuan was already waiting for him on the dock. Next to him was a three-tier ship. After all, the giant ship is big enough. Especially in this offshore sea, the wind and waves are not big, and you won't feel how to shake when you ride a giant ship, which is much stronger than those fifth-level warships or smaller warships!

One third-class battleship, two fourth-class battleships, and two fifth-class battleships were ready to set off together later, starting from the military port and heading ten kilometers east. It then turns north for fifteen kilometres, then continues westward for twenty kilometres to Dalian Island, where the new shipyard dock is now located, and finally returns to the military port. It would take six to seven hours to patrol back and forth, and by the time they returned, the sun should have set in the west.

"Brother Xu, how can you have such an interest in going to sea today! Brother, I really like your warships, especially these third-class ships. Domineering, mighty. It's a pity that I'm not as young as you, otherwise at the beginning, I would have strongly asked Shizi to be transferred to the navy. Jiang Dejun laughed loudly when he saw Xu Yingyuan.

"I know that you like giant ships, no, my brother has been coming to Pingtan Island for a week, so I took the time to invite my brother to go to sea, it's a sin!" Xu Yingyuan clenched his fists and blamed himself again and again.

"Hey, this navy has its own rules, and it's not your brother's choice. I'm so happy that you can think of my brother! Jiang Dejun also hurriedly said politely. Let's go, it's been another month since I came back from the Wa Kingdom, and I really miss her! To be honest, I hadn't ridden this huge ship before, and I didn't feel anything, but I still liked it since I spent two months on the warship. ”

"Okay, then let's go up, brother, I have prepared some delicious food and wine, let's go to the deck and drink while watching the scenery!" After saying this, Xu Yingyuan made a gesture again. Jiang Dejun was not polite, and took the lead on the deck along the inclined ladder. He didn't notice it, Xu Yingyuan's eyes behind him narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then, this sneer turned into a smile like a warm spring breeze.

In fact, there are many recreational projects at sea, such as surfing, parachuting, sailing, etc., and the navy often holds such recreational activities during the rest time to enrich the lives of the soldiers. Otherwise, the high-intensity training all day long, for a long time, will definitely lead to a series of problems, and Geng Jingzhong doesn't want to see that kind of situation at all. This patrol at sea is also rare for Jiang Dejun, so these activities have also been held on several warships.

Although Jiang Dejun is not young, his heart is not old. I also like these exciting projects very much, and I am very excited to watch the side performances, and I can't wait to replace them immediately. It's a pity that he also knows his body, and he can't compare to a young man, so he can only get by.

Before you know it, the patrol warship has been driving for more than two hours, and the warship has sailed to the northernmost part of Pingtan Island, due north, where the islands and reefs are dense, and the warships generally do not come here. At least not close to this side, but from the sea a few kilometers further north.

Among the dense islands and reefs, there are several larger islands, namely Da Song Island, Xiao Song Island, Peng Chau and Shan Chau. But not far from the north side of the mountain island, the sea water is also very deep, there are relatively few islands and reefs, but from time to time there will be a swirling nest, the general situation is small, the length of the boat below ten meters is easy to be overturned by the rotary nest, if people fall into this water, it is basically no bones. Naval patrols had discovered this situation a long time ago, and as a result, no ships approached the area, large or small.

However, Xu Yingyuan still let the battleship sail here.

He walked alone to the very edge of the bow deck, gazing out at the sea below, two guards following closely behind him. "Brother Xu, what are you doing?" Jiang Dejun asked from behind, and then he also walked towards Xu Yingyuan's position. When I came to the edge of the deck, I felt that the current below was a little faster than in other places, and I didn't find anything else. "What's there to see here, why don't you go back and drink!"

"I have a question for Brother Jiang, is it so comfortable to be a traitor?" Xu Yingyuan turned around and said to Jiang Dejun.

Jiang Dejun drank a lot of wine and was not sober for a while. "What the hell are you talking about, traitor, who's a traitor?" Looking at Xu Yingyuan's cold face, he suddenly hit a spirit, and suddenly the wine woke up most of the time. "You, what do you mean!" Jiang Dejun's heart became nervous, and after speaking, he turned around and wanted to recruit his own guards.

Two of his personal guards had already been introduced into the cabin and solved, and at this moment there were a total of eight people on the foredeck, four were the personal guards of Geng Jingzhong of the guard battalion sent by Li Guangdi, and four were naval soldiers including Xu Yingyuan. Xu Yingyuan is a young general promoted by Geng Jingzhong, and he is only 35 years old this year, 20 years younger than Jiang Dejun. He slashed at Jiang Dejun with a knife on the back of Jiang Dejun's neck, and suddenly, Jiang Dejun fainted! The soldiers of the guard battalion immediately put him in a sack and carried him into the cabin.

The two guards of Xu Yingyuan in the back picked up a big stone that had been prepared long ago at their feet, threw it into the sea, and then shouted: "Oh no! Master Jiang fell into the sea! Save people! (To be continued......)
