In fact, Huang Tao is indeed right, this matter involves the three yamen of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command Envoy Division, the Punishment and Prosecution Envoy Division, and the Jinyi Guard, and the situation is more complicated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Huang Tao and Wei Shan both thought that they had suffered a lot of losses in the process of Zhoushan's change of ownership, so they were so jealous of Haihan, and they did not hesitate to use some unconventional means to retaliate against Haihan.

Qian Tiandun listened silently and began to check in his mind the various information provided by the intelligence officers of the Ministry of Security. Qian Tiandun had heard of Yu Pingfeng, the head of Zhejiang, because the main backer of the Zhoushan Boat Gang in the officialdom was this person, and Wang Jialin had also confessed his entanglement with this person's interests after he was arrested. The property seized by Haihan on Zhoushan Island is worth more than 50,000 taels of silver, and the filial piety sent by the Zhoushan Boat Gang every year is at least more than 10,000 taels of silver. As the saying goes, cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, and with such hatred, there is nothing to do with the Haihan people on the surface, so it is natural to have some tricks to take revenge.

However, the other two were involved in this matter for what reason, Qian Tiandun believes that it is necessary to collect more information through the Ministry of Security, anyway, Wang Jialin is still detained on Zhoushan Island and can be interrogated at any time. If Guo Zheng and Liao Xun have any interests with the Zhoushan Boat Gang, then Wang Jialin will be asked as soon as he asks.

The remaining question is when, where and how this group of people intends to start, but it is a pity that Wei Shan has clearly rejected the other party's invitation, otherwise Qian Tiandun really wants to arrange for him to go undercover in this group of people to provide more detailed information.

Judging from the information provided by Wei Shan, Liao Xun of Jinyi Wei Baihu collected some business information that obtained franchise rights through the Zhoushan Merchants Association, and planned to target this group to carry out sea interception. In fact, the Zhoushan Merchants Association will be mixed in to collect intelligence by people with intentions, Qian Tiandun and the Ministry of Security are psychologically prepared, this kind of thing cannot be completely banned, because the spies on the island may not be professionals like Jinyiwei, but also very likely ordinary people, and it is impossible to find out the special mission of these people by just relying on the investigation.

And the reason why this group of people would go to Shaoxing Mansion to discuss with Wei Shan, Qian Tiandun thought that one was that they could no longer trust the garrison of Ningbo Mansion, after all, the attitude shown by the garrison here had obviously stood on the side of Haihan. The second reason is that Ningbo is too close to Zhoushan, and some ships must be dispatched to plunder at sea, and the waters around Zhoushan Island often have Haihan warships patrolling. Moreover, the Linshanwei Acropolis is located on the seaside, and the goods and personnel intercepted after the incident can be disposed of through the special channel of the military, which is indeed much safer than finding a wild road in the East China Sea.

Qian Tiandun muttered: "They came from Hangzhou, of course, because it was inconvenient to find someone to do this in Hangzhou, and now the hope of Ningbo and Shaoxing is basically cut off, so there is only one place left in Hangzhou Bay." ”

"Hainingwei!" Huang Tao and Wei Shan replied in unison.

In Zhejiang, there are only four prefectures adjacent to Hangzhou Bay: Hangzhou Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, and Ningbo Prefecture. Hangzhou Mansion is the seat of Zhejiang Governorship, and the local garrison has to do something too much, while the Ningbo garrison has changed its position, so the only places they can try are Linshanwei in Shaoxing Mansion and Hainingwei in Jiaxing Prefecture in the north.

Of course, theoretically, they can also go to Jin Shanwei in Songjiang Mansion, but Songjiang Mansion is no longer under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, and the official identity of Yu Pingfeng and others may not be of much use there. Moreover, Jinshanwei is far away, and it is difficult to keep information unimpeded, so it is not suitable for this kind of maritime interception and killing operation that requires attention to the timeliness of intelligence.

"Two adults, can you give me a brief introduction to Hainingwei's situation?" Qian Tiandun saw that the two of them had already paved the road themselves, so he asked along the way.

Hainingwei is in the north, Linshanwei and Guanhaiwei are in the south, and there is only a piece of Hangzhou Bay in the middle, which is quite close, and they all belong to the same health system, and they still have a certain understanding of each other. These two people even told the gang in Hangzhou about it, so naturally they would not be afraid of this kind of thing anymore, and they happily informed Qian Tiandun of the situation they knew.

After a few people talked about the matter, Qian Tiandun ordered someone to prepare a luncheon. Although this beach is deserted and there is no kitchen stove, with Haihan's financial and material resources, it is not difficult to move a mobile kitchen in advance. The banquet is definitely an extremely important part of the Haihan's diplomatic methods, and the Haihan-style banquet that combines Eastern and Western cooking methods and various seasoning spices, coupled with exquisite glass tableware, is both delicious and forceful, and it is difficult for anyone to resist this offensive.

Wei Shan and Huang Tao were no exception, their eyes lit up just by seeing the glasses and bowls on the table, and the chopsticks they used were also made of ivory. Although it is not a more expensive gold and silver tableware, it has a special meaning. Legend has it that the Haihan people are rich and pay attention to enjoyment, and the two of them have seen it today.

At the dinner table, Qian Tiandun no longer mentioned these previous things, but talked about all kinds of interesting anecdotes. Although he is not known for his eloquence, after all, he has hundreds of years of knowledge, and it is enough to fool these two commanders.

Full of wine and food, Qian Tiandun asked people to withdraw from the banquet and serve fruit desserts to consume food. Qian Tiandun warmly invited the two to visit Zhoushan Island when they had time, and if they had time in the future, they could also go to Sanya in the south to see the real Haihan city. He knows very well that no matter how much he brags about his strength, it is not as strong as the intuitive visual impact, so many Ming officials who are willing to cooperate with Haihan, and even serve Haihan, who are not convinced after witnessing Haihan's hard power.

Before the two left, they finally saw the legendary Haihan giant ship on the beach. The big ship puffed white smoke and swept over the sea south of Jintang Island at an incredible speed. This is naturally Qian Tiandun's arrangement, in order to let the guests see more clearly, the route of this ship is also relatively close to the coast, and even the gun window on the side of the ship can be seen clearly.

The visual impact of the Majesty-class warships is absolutely unprecedented in the Far East of this era, and even those European warships that come from thousands of miles away still have a huge gap in tonnage compared to the giant ships built by Haihan. Moreover, the unique steam-powered propulsion system allowed this warship to sail at sea far faster than other sailing ships of the same period, and in the eyes of those who do not know, this kind of ship is simply a sea monster.

Almost as soon as they saw this ship, Wei Shan and Huang Tao understood why Ma Ling, a thousand households of Changguo Wei Shipu Institute, who was the first to come into contact with the Haihan people, would choose to cooperate with the Haihan people without hesitation. When normal people see the appearance of this giant ship, they will probably lose the courage to resist directly, and if they are in the same situation, they probably will not make other choices.

"To tell you two adults, we are going to build a shipyard on Zhoushan Island next, and we will also build such large ships locally in the future. Qian Tiandun introduced to the two with a smile: "This kind of ship is really suitable for maintaining peace in the East China Sea, what do you think of the two adults?"

"Yes, yes, General Qian is reasonable......" Huang Tao replied reluctantly, but his face was not very good-looking. Of course, he would not have thought that the ship happened to pass by here, and the Haihan people were obviously going to demonstrate through such a move. But in the face of such a sea monster, even if you are unconvinced, you can only hold back, who let the Daming Sailor not have a large warship that can match it?

After seeing off the two stupid Ming officials, Qian Tiandun immediately returned to Zhoushan by boat. Although he was very relaxed in front of Wei and Huang, Qian Tiandun would not despise the situation they reported because of this. At present, Haihan's layout in Zhejiang has just started, and if it encounters targeted sabotage at this time, it is indeed very likely to affect the Zhejiang market, which has been opened with great difficulty.

Although the information provided by Wei and Huang was important, it was not detailed enough, and there were many missing details, which could only be made up for by Haihan's own intelligence collection methods. In this regard, Qian Tiandun has full trust in the Haihan Security Department, and in the more than two months since his departure from Fujian, the intelligence support work provided by the Ministry of Security has never disappointed the military.

Qian Tiandun called Gong Qiqi to his office, informed him of the general situation, and then asked his opinion.

Gong Qiqi thought for a while, and then responded: "The subordinates think that they should take a two-pronged approach, one is to immediately interrogate Wang Jialin and others, and ask him about the relationship between him and those Ming officials, as well as other officials who have interests and entanglements with the Zhoushan Boat Gang, maybe there are also people on Hainingwei's side who have benefited from Zhoushan in the past." Second, it is necessary to take the initiative to take action and go to Hangzhou and Jiaxing to find out the news on the spot. Although Zhoushan is independent of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a self-enclosed small world, and the news is not as smooth as the mainland, and some incomplete information can only be obtained through the merchants, and the reference value is limited. ”

Qian Tiandun said: "You are an expert in intelligence work, since you have already thought about what to do, then implement it according to your ideas." I just have one request, don't startle the snake after finding out the situation, report the news as soon as possible, I hope to set up a game for the other party before they make a move, do you understand what I mean?"

Gong 17 responded: "The chief is to invite you into the urn." ”

"That's right. Qian Tiandun nodded and said: "This kind of hidden danger should be eliminated as thoroughly as possible, and by the way, let those who secretly beat our ideas correct their attitudes as soon as possible." ”

Gong Qiqi has been working in the Ministry of Security for five or six years, so he naturally understands what Qian Tiandun means by "being thorough" and "correcting attitudes". As the leader of the perennial command of the operations of the field service team, Gong 17 is very happy to return to his old business in Zhejiang and do a little better work than squatting indoors to sort out intelligence.

After Gong Qiqi left Qian Tiandun's office, he immediately went to a mountain col west of Dinghai Fort, where Wang Jialin and a group of Zhoushan boat gang leaders were imprisoned, and Gong Qiqi now needed to extract more information about stakeholders from them. At the moment, there was no delay in this matter, and Gong Qiqi was not in the mood to be patient with these people. Just in case, Gong Qiqi called the torture experts Gong Ping and Gong Yuan to stand by, and if anyone refused to cooperate, then immediately take the necessary coercive measures.

However, Gong Seventeen's worries are obviously a little redundant, the heroes of the rivers and lakes have been passively accepting the psychological offensive brainwashing day and night since they were locked in, and they have long realized that the general trend has gone, and now they still have the heart to continue to fight with Haihan, many people expect to be able to exchange for freedom by providing information. There are a few guys who are eager to report all the officialdom they have known since they were children, but it is a pity that most of the officials they know are still unpopular officials, and there are very few people who have dealt with officials at or above the county level.

The only people who can really get in touch with government figures are Wang Jialin and a few others. Moreover, due to their sensitive status, they have very few opportunities to deal with officials face-to-face, and most of the time they only maintain contact with their official backers through intermediaries or letters. Wang Jialin and Yu Pingfeng have cooperated for several years, and the two sides only meet at a frequency of once a year or two, and the time for talking and exchanging is not even as much as what Gong Qiqi, who presided over him, during this time.

However, this interrogation is not without gains, at least the reason why Liao Xun and Guo Zheng will be involved, Wang Jialin has explained very clearly - these two people also bought shares under the introduction of Pingfeng two years ago, and of course they are also dry shares without capital. If you use Haihan's terminology, it is technology shareholding.

However, the two of them are not just collecting money and not doing anything, one of these two people is in the Criminal Prosecution Department, and the other is in Jinyiwei, and there is still a lot of convenience that can be provided to the Zhoushan Boat Gang. Although he has to give them a lot of silver every year, Wang Jialin is also willing to spend money to buy these two insurances, in case something happens on the shore, at least there are two people in the government who can come forward to protect him. Of course, now that he has been arrested by the Haihan people, the Ming officials will not be able to play any protective umbrella role at all.

But for Hainingwei, whom Gong Qiqi cared about, Wang Jialin claimed that he had no contact before. It's not that he doesn't have a high vision to look down on the local guards, but that there are other armed forces on Hainingwei's side that support them, and there is no need for the Zhoushan Boat Gang to join in the excitement.

"Ma Teng, who is known as the horse noodle fish on Qushan Island in the north, is said to have been related to the horse commander of Hainingwei. Wang Jialin provided information that the Ministry of Security did not have before. (To be continued.) )
