(New books for collections, recommended votes, please, please!) Your attention is the motivation for my writing, thank you! )

This prison is a strict place for ordinary people, but in the eyes of the special elite task force of the Ministry of Intelligence, it is like a no-man's land. Captain Qin and the others rescued Yao Qisheng and quickly left here, letting the flames inside be raging.

In place of Yao Qisheng's body in the prison was also the body of a thin old man, which was found from refugees in Guangdong. Guangzhou was also affected by the disaster, although it was not very strict, but the number of victims was also quite large. Although Guangdong produces more grain than Fujian, its disaster relief efforts are far less than Fujian's. It can be said that the neighboring provinces have not made such a strong effort to provide disaster relief as Fujian. None of the victims in Fujian Province starved to death because of lack of food, but the victims in other provinces were not so lucky.

During the disaster relief period, many people from other provinces near Fuzhou fled to Fujian in order to survive. There were also a large number of victims in Guangzhou, although the government sent food for disaster relief, but there were still many victims who starved to death, and this corpse was exchanged for twenty taels of silver.

Several cells in the row burned violently, and even some of the condemned prisoners in front of you also went to see the king of Hades, but Captain Qin didn't care at all, if they died, they would die, and they had nothing to do with him. They sprinkled a lot of fire oil, and the facilities in the cells were all made of solid wood, especially the rows of log frames inside, the already dry solid wood was burned by the fire oil, and the fire quickly rose into the sky, and no one from the more than 100 jailers and the people who poured in outside dared to rush into the fire to save people.

A large group of people burned a row of prisons to the ground, until the fire was extinguished by the light of day. Only a pile of bones could already be found from the cell. I want to distinguish the original prisoner. That's absolutely impossible. However, this is exactly what the team wants, and this is the end of the plan to hide the world.

At noon the next day, a convoy of Fujian merchant ships had sailed out of the Pearl River estuary to the sea, heading straight for Fuzhou. In the cabin, Yao Qisheng had already woken up, but he stayed in the cell for several months, his body was weak, and he did not come out. And the ship's action team didn't let him out. He also wanted to know who had saved him, and where they wanted to take him, but no one had told him. Yao Qisheng is such a shrewd person, the only Captain Qin who spoke to him was guarding outside his cabin, and it seemed that he was very concerned about his safety.

Although the other people on the ship did not speak to him, from the accent of this Captain Qin talking to him, he could hear a lot of Hokkien accents. I have dealt with Fujian businessmen a lot, and I can still tell this self-confidence.

"Lord Yao, you are weak, this is a freshly boiled ginseng steam-pot chicken, and a few other side dishes. You taste it! Captain Qin entered the cabin with a large food box and saw Yao Qisheng with his back to the pillow. Holding a book and reading it, he said with a smile.

"I'm sorry for you, Xiao Qin! Old man, I am a dying person, and I can still eat such a good thing! Yao Qisheng put down the book, sat up and said. After being imprisoned for more than four months, he only ate porridge every day, and he didn't know what meat tasted like for a long time. "Don't tell me, I'm really hungry!" Captain Qin put a few side dishes on the table, and Yao Qisheng picked up the chopsticks and ate them, not polite at all.

"Hehe, it's good if Lord Yao likes it. Like Lord Yao, if the body is weak, it is not advisable to overeat or eat dry and hard food, so these are already stewed, eat less and eat more meals to nourish your body! Captain Qin also smiled when he saw Yao Qisheng's fragrant food. This time, they acted smoothly, and after sending Yao Qisheng back to Fuzhou, they must have been promoted to the next level. This time, this task was instructed by Mr. Li, but fortunately, it was a qiēshun lì, if it failed, he and others would be severely punished.

Yao Qisheng was still eating his food with his head down, and after eating a few large pieces, his stomach was no longer very hungry, and his speed slowed down. "Xiao Qin, you are from Fujian, did King Jingnan ask you to save me? I have no friendship with Geng Wangye, and I have never met each other, so he shouldn't pay attention to me, a small official, but why is this now? ”

Captain Qin smiled on his face, and did not speak, but looked at Yao Qisheng with a rather surprised gaze.

"Okay, you don't have to say it, I already know what I want to know!" It seems that this Xiao Qin and the others are indeed from the Jingnan Royal Mansion in Fujian, but they don't know why they came to rescue them. As he said just now, he has never dealt with the people of Jingnan Palace.

Since Captain Qin is the captain of the special operations team and the elite of the intelligence department under Geng Jingzhong, of course his reaction is not slow: "Lord Yao is really like a torch, and you can tell from the accents and expressions in the lower parts that belong to the lower ones, and you admire the subordinates. The feeling you give me can only be compared to our Manager Li, and it is indeed like a blank sheet of paper in front of you, and it is seen through at once! ”

"Hehe, then can you sue me, why did your prince send you thousands of miles to Guangzhou to save me, you must know that I am a death row prisoner appointed by the imperial court, and I will be beheaded in a few days, in case it is discovered by others, but it is extremely unfavorable to the prince!" Yao Qisheng said as he stretched out his chopsticks to the plate, and at the same time looked at Captain Qin.

"You're stumping me, I'm just doing what I'm told. And it was the prince and the chief manager Li who gave us the order, and the prince and his old man have been recuperating in the palace. As for why the prince issued this order, it is not in the scope of consideration. When you give an order, just take action! Captain Qin told the truth and didn't hold back at all. He's right, he's just a squad leader, and the things that the big guys above think are too far away from him to be within his reach.

"Your Royal Highness, yes, in the past few years, I have always heard about how the prince of Jingnan in Fujian is doing, but I rarely hear about how the prince is. Then Xiao Qin, can you tell me about the deeds of the son of the world? Yao Qisheng said with a smile, revealing a few of his slightly yellowed front teeth.

This was closed in the ghost gate, and Yao Qisheng saw it quite open. The mental aspect is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, and this is rescued by others. Hanging in the balance. Life and death control the hands of others. I am also not flustered, talking and laughing, and contented. Now it's time to eat and drink, and start chatting with the person in front of you. If this had been put on ordinary people, they would have panicked a long time ago.

"You are asking the right person, presumably Lord Yao, you have also heard about some of the deeds of the prince here in Guangdong, but it is definitely not comprehensive, maybe many of them are false. What we know inside is what is true. Let's put it this way. In the eyes of us, the son of the world is the reincarnation of the dragon god, and his ability to cover the world, no matter what he wants to do, he will definitely be able to do it! As soon as Captain Qin talked about Geng Jingzhong, his face was immediately full of reverence, like a mortal facing the gods he believed in, and he was extremely pious.

Yao Qisheng looked at the expression of Captain Xiao Qin in front of him, and was really a little puzzled, what kind of person could make his subordinates so reverent. Looking at it like this, these people on the ship should be the loyal subordinates of the prince of Jingnan. "Then let's talk about it in detail. Let me know too! ”

"Actually, there is nothing that can't be said, what the prince did is a household name in Fujian. Let's start with the disaster relief incident four years ago," Captain Qin told all the main deeds he knew Geng Jingzhong had done in the past few years one by one, until the details of the disaster relief a month ago. Of course, they won't say what their action team has done, it's all about Geng Jingzhong.

From the opening of Gongzhufang, the first disaster relief, to the training of the new army and the three-month suppression of bandits, from the construction of the starting point town to the establishment of the Mawei Navy, from the repulsion of the Japanese and Zheng Jing to the sea to clear the pirates, then the construction of the port and large-scale road construction, the beginning of maritime trade and the improvement of the lives of the people of Fujian, and then to the recent typhoon transit, the prince vigorously organized disaster relief, one by one in great detail, unconsciously, an afternoon passed like this. Captain Qin is also very sober, everything involved in confidential events in the army, he did not confide in the outside world, what he said is well known to the Fujian public, but he knows that it is more detailed.

During Captain Qin's detailed narration, Yao Qisheng also interjected two sentences from time to time and asked some questions, and Captain Qin also gave answers. Yao Qisheng nodded while listening, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more he admired. Many of these things are enough to prove that His Royal Highness the prince has a strategic mind and great ambitions. is also thoughtful, and does things one by one, which is really admirable. His painstaking efforts to govern Xiangshan are just to govern a county well, but the people are a wealthy province.

It was already dark, and the light in the cabin was not very bright, but now it was completely dark. Yao Qisheng was lying on the bed alone, quietly thinking about where he would go, and also thinking about the intentions of His Royal Highness. After thinking about it for a long time, I'm tired, I don't want to think about it, let's arrive in Fuzhou in three or five days!

From the time the Einsatzgruppen went to Guangzhou to the time it returned to Fuzhou, it took 20 days to go back and forth, and half of it was removed on the way alone. It took a lot of effort for them to find out the news in the early stage, make a plan, bribe the jailers, start the operation, and then return safely in Guangzhou. Fortunately, the intelligence sub-bureau in Guangzhou can withdraw a lot of money, otherwise it would be possible for them to forcibly enter the prison if they want to, then it will be completely exposed, and whether they can leave Guangzhou safely will become a problem. Although the operation cost a full three hundred taels of gold, it was worth the search for a qiē.

As soon as the group returned to Mawei, the special operations team from Captain Qin to the fourteen ordinary team members were all promoted to the next level, and were rewarded with 100 silver dollars. In addition, military merit is also counted and included in everyone's resume, which is the capital for their promotion in the future. These rewards were pre-arranged and known at the time of their departure. It's a bit like a huàn, where you can get these rewards for completing a task, and you'll be punished for failing them.

After they arrived at Mawei, they were only greeted by a special department in the army, which was not the same as the ordinary soldiers in the barracks. At this moment, Yao Qisheng landed on the boundary of Mawei for the first time, and when he entered the waters of Fuzhou, he was already active on the deck, and he made a detailed observation. In particular, after the fleet entered the mouth of the Minjiang River, it stopped at Houyu Port and went ashore, and then transferred to a small boat to enter the Mawei military camp. In the Monkey Island Port, although Yao Qisheng briefly browsed the port scenery, he was also shocked by the prosperity here.

It is said that this place has only been built for less than two years. That's just a short period of time. This is where the new port has grown. It's unbelievable. As the commander of Xiangshan County, Guangdong's maritime trade above the ninth floor is carried out in his territory, and he has not been much stronger than here after operating for so many years, so he admires Geng Jingzhong's actions even more.

In addition to the prosperity of commerce in the area, he also found a special place in the port, which was the unusual way in which the port was built. The pavement under your feet is not paved with bluestone, but it is as hard as bluestone, but it is smoother than bluestone. The same is true for these docks. It is all made of this material, and it looks neat and sturdy, and the long breakwater looks spectacular. When he was in Xiangshan, he also wanted to build such a breakwater, but because he did not have the technology, he could not do it, unless a large number of stones were used to fill in, but the effect was not good.

Driving along the Minjiang River all the way to the Mawei barracks, I saw several forts along the way, and from a distance, I could also see the muzzles of the black holes. Just with these batteries. Foreign enemies do not want to enter the Minjiang River, let alone invade Fuzhou by sea, which can be described as impregnable. Take a small boat to Mawei Military Port. This port was another great surprise to Yao Qisheng. At this time, it was evening, and the naval fleet that had gone out to hunt had returned to Mawei, and more than 100 Western sail warships were moored together.

The red is the hull of the battleship, the white is the sails on the battleship, and the dense cannon muzzles on both sides of the battleship deeply shocked Yao Qisheng, he is not an illiterate person, he has dealt with Westerners for more than six years, and he knows very well what these battleships mean. At this time, the barrels of whale fat have been sent ashore and have been loaded to the refinery, while the ordinary whale meat has been sent to Fuzhou by several special fireships for sale, and a small part is left in the barracks for the soldiers to eat.

No matter how good the delicacies of the mountains and seas can not be eaten every day, these days there are more than a dozen whales killed every day, the smell of whale meat will float in the barracks every day, for half a month, the soldiers from the beginning of the taste to like and then to the tasteless, until now some soldiers see that they vomit, this change is really funny, but it is a fact. However, the skeleton of these whales has become a new selling point, such a skeleton of a giant beast, there are really many wealthy merchants who are willing to pay a lot of money to buy, some people buy it back purely for a novelty, while some businessmen see a business opportunity, buy this whale skeleton, transport it to other places, that is, just for exhibitions, can collect a lot of admission money. Besides, if this thing is transported to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there will be a large number of wealthy landlords who are willing to buy it back as a show-off.

Yao Qisheng followed the action team and the soldiers who received them into the barracks, and really saw the style of the new army. The action team led by Captain Qin did not wear the new military uniform of the Mawei Army when he rescued him, but when he got home, he all changed into uniform uniforms. Between actions, there are rules and rules. Yao Qisheng was very strange at first, the uniforms worn by the soldiers in the entire army were all the same style and color, and he couldn't tell who was an officer and who was a soldier. But when the two come into contact, they can know their respective positions at once.

The neatness and tidiness of the barracks is reflected not only in the environment of the barracks, but also in the soldiers. All the soldiers were neatly dressed, and there was nothing wrong with every button. Walking all the way in, groups of sergeants saluted each other, this way of saluting is also relatively novel, Yao Qisheng is sure that these things are not available in the previous army.

From the dress, you can see the discipline of the army, if you dress crookedly or look like a group of flowers, it must be a group of stragglers, and it can never be an elite soldier. The soldiers in the barracks in front of them were just the most ordinary patrol soldiers, all of them were full of energy, and their faces were full of confidence and satisfaction. The most important thing is self-confidence, which is self-confidence in oneself, self-confidence in comrades-in-arms, and even more self-confidence in superiors and the entire army.

On the other hand, there were few conventional weapons among the soldiers. These conventional weapons refer to broadswords, spears, and soldiers' armor, and all that can be seen here is the waist knife at the soldier's waist and the musket on his shoulder. The musket was not a conventional weapon in his impression, and because the musket was not powerful, it was rarely equipped in the Manchu army. Here, however, there is only one musket, which is surprising. And the waist knives hanging from the waists of the soldiers, why does this look so familiar?

After taking a closer look, I understood, this is the war sword of the Wa Kingdom, the Katana of the Wa Kingdom! This thing is a rare object, in the Xiangshan area, a katana can be sold for between sixty taels and eighty taels of silver, and it is priceless, many military attaches are willing to spend a lot of money to get a katana to play with, after all, the quality of this thing is indeed the upper class, much stronger than the waist knife made by ordinary blacksmiths.

Yao Qisheng arrived, and as soon as they entered the Monkey Island Port, someone on the side came back quickly to report. Yao Qisheng and the others hadn't gone far from entering the barracks, and Geng Jingzhong and Li Guangdi greeted them from the camp together! (To be continued......)
