The first few batches of inmates who set off from Zhoushan to the south all took special migrant boats, but in the end, because the number of ships could not be arranged, they had to take old-fashioned mixed passenger and cargo sailing boats. Han Zhengshan's luck is not bad, the cargo hold of the ship he is on is loaded with all kinds of agricultural products, textiles and porcelain produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it is also quite clean, and the aroma of tea can be faintly smelled. I heard that another boat carrying prisoners was loaded with all kinds of livestock and poultry that were transported to the south for breeding, and the smell of the cabin was so terrible that if you stayed in it for a few days, you would be smoked half to death.

"Now that everything needs to be cleaned up, we can notify the engineering department to remove the barbed wire and fence of the Niujiaowan Forced Labor Camp." ”

Standing on the terrace of his office, Tom Wang could see several sailboats slowly sailing from the shore in the distance. In addition to the two mixed passenger and cargo ships carrying the last batch of prisoners, they were accompanied by an armed troop carrier carrying an army company. This group of soldiers was not specifically responsible for escorting prisoners, but the normal troops stationed abroad changed guards periodically, and they were about to return to Hainan to recuperate, so they escorted the two civilian ships along the way.

"I remember that the last time Lin Nan of the Ministry of Security caught him, the Hangzhou catcher was also in this group of people, right?" Shi Diwen responded: "Send this person away, and the matter of the Hangzhou fire case can finally be concluded." ”

Wang Tom turned around and returned to the house, and said to Shi Diwen: "This person surnamed Han has worked in the Yamen, and it is estimated that when he arrives in the south, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will also arrange errands for him to do, which is definitely much more promising than staying in Zhoushan to knock stones." ”

Han Zhengshan didn't specifically imagine what kind of life he would live after he went to the south in the past, because he didn't have time to understand what kind of environment he was going to, and the future was full of unknowns for him, and he could only take one step at a time, and there was no way to make any specific plans and preparations.

Han Zhengshan didn't have much luggage, and he was in a hurry when he left Hangzhou, and he had nothing but the clothes on his body. After arriving in Zhoushan, the two groups of prisoners left a little personal belongings for him when they left, but even so, his personal belongings were still pitiful, including the limited number of clothes left behind by the Shandong people when they left, and he almost put them on his body. As he was the last to leave the camp, he was allowed to take a worn-out quilt with him to use on his way south. Coupled with a missing wooden bowl and a pair of bamboo chopsticks, this is all his current belongings.

The group of people who traveled with him were not much better off than him, and almost all of the inmates who were left behind in the last batch of clean-up were just like Han Zhengshan who had just entered the hard labor camp and were about to change places after finding out the situation here. Most of these people are people who have recently committed crimes in the Haihan areas such as Zhoushan Islands and Shipu Port, but basically they are not serious crimes, and some of them have basically been transferred to camps where other felons are concentrated, and they will not have the opportunity to go to the south to start over.

Although the handcuffs and shackles have been removed after boarding the ship, the range of movement is still strictly restricted, and they cannot go up to the deck to move, and they can only stay in the cargo hold for food, drink, and sleep. However, for them, the current situation is much better than the life in the hard labor camp, after all, according to the information they received, they can be freed when they arrive at their destination, and their status is no longer lowly prisoners.

Although this arrangement meant that they might not be able to return to their hometown again for the rest of their lives, their curiosity about the unknown world greatly diluted this sorrow, and the most discussed topic after boarding the ship was undoubtedly the destination of the trip. Unlike the previous batches of inmates who went south, they still did not get specific destination information after boarding the ship, only knowing that it was somewhere in the south very far away from Zhejiang.

Han Zhengshan didn't get any useful information from these companions, most of them were arrested in the hard labor camp even later than himself, and naturally they knew less about Haihan. Some people speculate that it is Fukuhiro, while others speculate that it is Annan, which is further south. After hearing these speculations, Han Zhengshan felt that it was not very reliable, in his opinion, the place arranged by Haihan probably would not border Daming at all, so as not to give these people, including himself, the opportunity to slip back to Daming by land and expose his behavior of detaining Daming nationals.

But Han Zhengshan was not very sure of his guesses, he didn't know much about Haihan than these people locked up in the cabin, and his judgment was only based on the information he came into contact with after coming to Zhoushan. As a fast catcher who has been in the industry for many years, he knows that he can only deduce the truth with enough information, but now he knows too little, and it is difficult to judge the true arrangement of Haihan. But one thing is that Han Zhengshan can be sure now that after leaving Zhejiang and going south, the true face of the mysterious country of Haihan will gradually be displayed in front of him.

After leaving Zhoushan Dinghai Port, the fleet headed south along the Zhejiang coastline and arrived at Shipu Port that night. Because some cargo was to be loaded here, the fleet docked at the port and rested for the night before leaving. Although Han Zhengshan's group of people were not allowed to disembark from the ship for shore activities, they still gave them a stick of incense time to let off the deck after docking, so that they could use this short time to breathe a little fresh air outdoors and move their muscles.

Although Han Zhengshan has never been to this place, the name of Shipu Port is still known, and it is said that when the Haihan people first arrived in Ningbo the year before last, they had shown their force in Shipu Port. At that time, it was rumored that Haihan was here to assist the official army to defeat the armed pirates who came to sneak attack, but Han Zhengshan now thinks that this rumor probably also has an element of fiction and exaggeration, Haihan people are not good men and women, and everything they do has a strong purpose, and the so-called "assisting the officers and soldiers" is actually "coercing the officials and soldiers".

After seeing the scene on the dock, Han Zhengshan affirmed his guess. Although the city of Shipu is within sight, there are no people in Ming military uniforms on the wharf, you must know that this place was originally a military port, but now all the people docked here are merchant ships and civilian ships. The Ming army stationed in Shipu would turn a blind eye to this, and Han Zhengshan could only think that they had succumbed to the obscenity of Haihan.

But as soon as Han Zhengshan's disappointment came to his heart, he saw a group of Ming troops appear in the field of vision, hurrying towards the dock where the fleet docked.
