Located in the southeast sea of Zhanjiang, Jinzhou Island is an island outside the island of Zhanjiang City, with an area of more than 50 square kilometers, surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the terrain is dangerous. This place has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and is one of the "Eight Views of Zhanjiang" in later generations. The last two emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty witnessed the fall of the dynasty on Jinzhou Island, and there are still many relics of the Southern Song Dynasty on the island in later generations. I never thought that such a place of historical value would become a den of pirates in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

Tao Dong has been to Zhanjiang many times, and once he has landed on Jinzhou Island, and he is quite impressed by the ruins of the Song Imperial City and other monuments on the island, so as soon as Gu Kai mentions the name of Jinzhou Island, he quickly remembers.

"The current situation is very different from our previous predictions!" Tao Donglai said with emotion.

In the military defense plan made by the Military Police Department before the crossing, it was assumed that the pirate forces that might come mainly came from the South China Sea, because the Sanya area, which is sparsely populated, has little natural resources, and is not located on the main trade routes, it is really difficult to attract large groups of pirates to come across the sea, and only small groups of pirates in Southeast Asia will be interested in coming to rob the coastal fishermen here.

In this era, the strength of the South China Sea pirates, who are relatively weak in combat effectiveness, is completely different from the strength of the Chinese coastal pirates, such as the Eighteen Zhi Pirate Group on the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, that is, the huge number of pirates who command tens of thousands of pirates, and the leader Zheng Zhilong already has hundreds of ships under his command at this time, which is the strongest armed force in the coastal areas of Fujian, and even the local garrison in Fujian has nothing to do with them. And although the scale of this group of pirates attacking from Jinzhou Island is not too large, it is from the mainland after all. If the existence of the traversal really aroused the covetousness of some large pirates in the coastal areas of the mainland, then the military defense pressure would increase a lot as a result.

Of course, the specific situation needs to be further interrogated as a reference. Several leading figures then discussed how to strengthen combat readiness in the near future, how to carry out the next day's clean-up operation, and so on.

Unconsciously, an hour passed, Tao Donglai raised his hand to look at the time, frowned, and said, "Why hasn't there been any news over there?" Lao Yan, you can contact and ask about the progress. ”

Tao Donglai was referring to the capture of pirate spies at Base 2, and he thought that after passing on the information he knew, the arrest operation should be effective soon, but after so long, he didn't get a response, and it didn't seem to be as smooth as he imagined. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)

Soon Ning Qi's angry voice came out of the radio: "This guy is a thief, he has already slipped away before we can make a move, but the person has been blocked near the camp by us, but now it is dark and nothing can be seen, and the search speed is very slow." ”

"Don't worry, it's already okay here in Port Victory. Let our people pay more attention to safety and remember that safety comes first in any situation!" Yan Chujie hurriedly admonished after hearing this. Although there are still a lot of people from the military and police department over there, the teams that can fight are basically pulled to the side of Shengli Port, and Ning Qi is an anxious person, searching for fugitives in the field when the black light is blind, don't make any extraneous things.

Ning Qi is not only angry now, he is already murderous.

When Tao Yan and the others set off from the No. 2 base with the team, Ningqi had already begun to gather people to deploy control. When the site was first selected, the Executive Committee set up the camp on the east bank of the Tiandu River, and for safety reasons, the temporary shelters for migrant workers were set up on the west bank of the Tiandu River. Ning Qi asked Gu Le to take 30 people to set up control on the west bank, the main purpose of which was to cut off the upper and lower reaches of the Tiandu River and prevent possible hidden spies from escaping.

Finally waited for the news of Victory Harbor, Ning Qi immediately arranged for people to start the investigation of the outsiders in the station after learning about the physical characteristics of the suspect, but at the beginning of this investigation, the pirate spy who incarnated as a migrant worker sniffed out the smell was wrong, and actually set two fires in the temporary residence to disturb the situation, Ning Qi had to send people to organize a fire extinguish to comfort the migrant workers, and at the same time let the people from the military police department quickly catch the rat feces.

Fortunately, at the time of the incident, Gu Wei asked people to immediately block the perimeter of this temporary residence, and under the back and forth of twenty or thirty tactical flashlights, even a rabbit did not want to escape from the encirclement, so it became a situation of catching turtles in the urn.

Although the temporary shelter of migrant workers has become a mess, construction on the construction site of the hydropower station continues. At present, the abundant labor force ensures that the project can be carried out 24 hours a day, and hundreds of people are divided into three shifts to rush work day and night. The evening shift was undoubtedly the hardest, with the EC having to pay double pay for the first few days to hire enough local labor to stay up late and work overtime.

Recently, however, the Executive Committee made a change in the personnel arrangement, pulling all the labor camps that used to dig stones at the mining sites to the hydropower station construction sites. This was done mainly for several purposes: first, the Executive Committee did not want these Ming prisoners to know too early about the iron ore mining here by the Crossing Masses; second, to put these people to work at night and rest during the day, so that it would be easier to supervise them with fewer manpower; third, and most importantly, to arrange these free laborers to work at night with the highest salaries, which would save the Executive Committee dozens of migrant workers every day.

The captives have been living a good life recently, although they will still be exhausted every day, but at least the living environment is guaranteed, three meals of porridge a day, fish and meat for meals, and they have also exchanged points for clean shacks to live in. If they complete their labor tasks well on a certain day, they will also get permission from the head of the labor camp to exchange their points for rice wine or fruit wine provided by the Huàn Li people. Although the exchange rate of these inferior wines is as high as one point for one or two wines, and only a maximum of two points per person are allowed, many people are still happy to exchange points for wine to relieve their fatigue.

During this period of time, Luo Shengdong finally got an "official" treatment because of his good performance, and his basic points were raised from two points to three points every day. This means that under the same labor intensity, he will have half more points than these little friends in the labor camp! Every time he thinks that he may regain his freedom a few months earlier than the others, Luo Shengdong can't help but feel a little excited.

But then he made self-criticism of his mentality of being a little rich and peaceful: "I think that I, Luo Shengdong, am the general manager of the Ming Dynasty, and I am actually complacent for such a, which is simply a disgrace to the court, the military department, and my own father! With Lao Tzu's ability, no matter how ...... You have to save enough points half a year in advance...... Eh, something seems wrong......"

"Luo Shengdong!"

"Here!" Luo Shengdong replied reflexively, and quickly put the messy little abacus behind him. In the past half a month since entering the labor camp, in addition to the fixed work and rest time that he was forced to develop, the roll call has also become one of Luo Shengdong's biggest changes.

Of course, Luo Shengdong didn't accept this kind of change at the beginning, I can't say what you say, I will do it, at least Lao Tzu still has to retain a little dignity of a Ming officer. But after being starved for a few meals, Luo Shengdong finally understood what it meant that "the shape is stronger than the human" that the chief Ren often talked about.

From now on, count the number of people every half an hour, and report the situation immediately, understand?" It was his immediate boss Ren Liang who came to give the order.

"Understood, understood. Luo Shengdong nodded again and again.

Among the two commanders of the labor camp, Luo Shengdong is actually more afraid of Ren Liang than Gu Wei. Although Ren Liang has a gentle appearance and his voice is not as neutral as Gu Wei's, Luo Shengdong knows that this Chief Ren has a lot of bad water in his stomach. Luo Shengdong heard Chief Gu mention that every time he announced those strange new regulations or new projects to exchange points for huàn, it was the masterwork of this governor. Luo Shengdong sometimes even thinks that with the influence of the incumbent governor for more than half a month, it is estimated that there will be no big problem if he becomes a prison officer now.

"Chief Ren, I heard that there seems to be a bit of chaos in the west, is something wrong?" Luo Shengdong cautiously tested Ren Liang's tone. In fact, at dinner, he saw a large group of short-haired soldiers carrying fire guns on their backs and going downstream in boats, and when the fire broke out in the western garrison just now, there were already people on the construction site who saw it from a high place and spread the news. Although Luo Shengdong didn't know why, he could guess that something must have happened, but this mess should not be big, otherwise the construction site would definitely be suspended, so he dared to inquire directly about the news.

Ren Liang smiled, and didn't mean to hide it: "There are pirate spies who have come here, and we are arresting people." ”

"Pirate!" Luo Shengdong couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he heard this, he would end up in this step today, didn't he just want to come to this place to fight pirates and make meritorious contributions? As a result, he was promoted and raised his salary to marry Bai Fumei, but instead became a prisoner.

"Don't worry, we've gotten rid of the pirates in the harbor, and we're the only ones left with the spies yet. Keep an eye on your people, and I'll come back later. Ren Liang did not hide his pride, although he failed to witness the battle in the port, but in Ren Liang's opinion, the combat effectiveness of these attacking pirates should be the scum of Luo Shengdong's Ming army.

Luo Shengdong was annoyed and angry in his heart, annoyed that if he set off half a month late, he would not be able to meet these pirates at sea, and directly crack and beat them on the sea, and then go back with the head of the pirates to receive the merit, wouldn't it be wonderful;
