After all the captives from Hangzhou City had been escorted away, Wan Fa emerged from the ship's secret cabin. For the outside world, he had been burned to death in the Chengfeng Xing business house outside Hangzhou a few days ago, and if anyone found out that he was still alive in this world, there would be many new suspicions in the Chengfeng Xing fire case. And Haihan didn't want this matter to be repeated, so he specially asked Wan Fa to hide his deeds on the way back, so that he could not be discovered by idle people and others that he ran from Hangzhou to Zhoushan.

"This mission has been successfully completed, the executive committee is also very satisfied with your performance, and Sanya has sent a telegram asking you to go back as soon as possible. Qian Tiandun paused, but still told the truth: "Judging from the current situation, you are not suitable to continue to stay in Zhejiang, and there will be other work arrangements for you after returning to Sanya." However, with the merits you have made this time, your promotion after returning to Sanya should be stable. ”

Wan Fa hurriedly thanked Qian Tiandun, he actually knew that after this mission was over, he would not be able to stay in Zhejiang any longer, no matter what the life and death of Liao Xun and the others were, he could no longer appear in the coastal capital of Zhejiang, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. In fact, for Wanfa, this mission was dangerous, and he only obeyed Gong Seventeen's arrangement throughout the implementation process, and only knew what the overall plan was when he finally evacuated Hangzhou. If Gong Qiqi had told him from the beginning that he was going to do such a big thing in Hangzhou, Wan Fa might not have the courage to participate.

Of course, the final result of the action still made Wan Fa very satisfied, although there was another person in charge this time, but the credit to him should not be small, you must know that these three people who were captured from Hangzhou are all high-grade court officials, and they are big people who he usually can't even touch. Although Wanfa is only a part-time employee of the Ministry of Security, he also knows how high the level of this kind of action is, and even in the Ministry of Security it should be regarded as unprecedented, and it is a rare opportunity to be able to participate in it, even if he has been running a business in Hangzhou for ten years, the accumulated credit may not be able to catch up with the harvest in just a few days.

However, the secrecy period of this kind of operation will be very long, and it is likely that Wanfa will not be able to use this experience as a bragging capital to brag about his colleagues and relatives before he retires. Fortunately, this credit is real, Wan Fa pondered that after returning to Sanya this time, the heads of the Ministry of Commerce might also promote themselves to a position such as "director", but Haihan's control area is now huge, spanning thousands of miles from north to south, and he doesn't know where his next stop will be assigned.

Qian Tiandun said: "It just so happens that there will be a ship going south to Sanya tomorrow, so you can work hard, and you will set off with the ship tomorrow!"

Wan Fa hurriedly responded, knowing that he was worried that he would expose his whereabouts if he stayed in Zhoushan for a long time, so he wanted to send himself away as soon as possible. However, he has no complaints about this arrangement, he has been away from his family for a whole year, and he would like to return to Sanya to reunite with his family sooner.

For the Zhoushan garrison, the completion of this special mission in Hangzhou means that the last obstacle to the north has been cleared, and the next step is to start mobilizing personnel and materials to prepare for the next journey.

On 27 June, the Zhoushan Administrative Committee and the garrison held a joint meeting to begin discussions on arranging various matters related to the northward journey. The second fleet from Sanya arrived in Penghu yesterday and is expected to continue north after a two-day rest. According to the usual itinerary, the fleet will arrive in Zhoushan by the beginning of July at the latest, and after the defense handover is completed, the special operations battalion and the troops that have arrived here before will be able to depart.

Considering the climate in the north, the sooner the construction of the foothold begins, the less difficult it will be for the troops to go north to survive the first winter. In order to gain as much time as possible before the onset of winter, the Ministry of Defense did not arrange a large-scale reconnaissance operation in this northward operation, but only placed some people in the previous fleet that recruited refugees from the north and collected some intelligence on the ground. Compared with the past few operations to expand territory from the south to the north, the preliminary reconnaissance of the northward expedition this time is relatively small.

"Of course, the climatic reason is only one of them, we have reduced the reconnaissance arrangements for going north, mainly because there are still many places in the local area that are out of control after the chaos, many county-level administrative offices have not been restored in time, and the garrisons are only concentrated in a few state cities, and the scope of control is very limited. Qian Tiandun introduced the general situation of the Jiaodong Peninsula to Wang Tom.

Wang Tom said: "Didn't the Ming court increase the garrison in Shandong this year?"

Qian Tiandun shook his head and said: "The Central Plains region has become a pot of porridge, the Ming Dynasty has put the main forces on encircling and suppressing the peasant army, and most of Shandong is in an undefended state - at least for us." In the early stages of moving into the area, we should not encounter too much military pressure. As long as your navy guards the back road, it will be difficult for the local Ming army to confront us head-on. ”

"I heard you say that it should be easy to go north this time. Wang Tom smiled: "It's just that in this way, we don't estimate that we have any military merits to take." ”

"The local climate may be more troublesome than that of the Ming army. Qian Tiandun's expression was not relaxed: "According to historical records, the temperature of the Jiaodong Peninsula during the Xiaoice River period would be below minus 20 degrees in winter, and the blizzard and cold wave were all possible weather conditions, which would be a very big test for our soldiers from the south." When we build a base in the local area, we must take into account the need for winter protection, which is much more troublesome than building a prefabricated house in the south. ”

When the Haihan army opens up a new stronghold in the area near the equator, it is often built a prefabricated house, as long as it can shelter from the sun and rain, it is basically qualified, but this kind of simple house with poor thermal insulation ability is not suitable for the climate of the north, and considering the indoor need for heating in the north, the fire hazard of the wooden board house is too great, at most it is to live in the warm weather, and it is not suitable as a barracks for winter. However, to build a large number of brick and stone houses in the local area, the manpower, material and financial resources required are considerable, and of course, the time required during the period cannot be ignored, so the Ministry of Defense is in a hurry to arrange for troops to go north before the end of summer, otherwise it is likely that the necessary infrastructure projects will not be completed before the arrival of the cold winter.

At present, most of the soldiers on Zhoushan Island who are preparing to go north are from the south, and even if there are uniformly issued winter clothes, they may not be able to adapt well to the northern climate.
