Since entering Dawanshan Island last year, Chen Yixin has commanded the militia army to carry out three combat missions, the first was the defense of Lijiazhuang, followed by the extermination of the entrenched pirate gang on Dangan Island, and the last time was the big battle with the Liu Xiang pirate group at the end of last year. In the Battle of Wanshan Port at the end of the year, the troops stationed on the island under the command of Chen Yixin performed well in the battle, not only dragging the main force of Liu Xiang's fleet in the harbor, but also inflicting a heavy blow on it, so that the remaining remnants had no resistance in the face of the Haihan Navy commanded by Wang Tom in the subsequent battle, and could only flee all the way north. The direct consequence of this battle was that Liu Xiang's group suffered a great loss of vitality and had to withdraw from the waters of the Pearl River Estuary and completely cede its original territory to Haihan.

Chen Yixin has been commended and promoted by the Central Military Commission during this year's anniversary celebration because of his outstanding performance in these three operations, and his contribution to the construction and development of Wanshan Port, and he has now been promoted to the rank of major -- and he has also become the youngest person to receive the rank of major.

In the military operation to attack Hue in South Vietnam in February, Chen Yixin was not transferred to the front line by the Military Commission to participate in the operation, at that time, there were still a very few people in the regiment who thought that Chen Yixin, who was a young man, had quickly "fallen out of favor", but after the end of the Hue Campaign, Chen Yixin was rewarded by the Military Commission at the same time as the personnel who made meritorious contributions in the Hue Campaign, and the gossip was self-defeating. Later, some well-wishers analyzed that the arrangement of the Military Commission was actually a disguised protection for Chen Yixin, after all, he was young, and if he rose too quickly in the army, it would not necessarily be a good thing.

Chen Yixin himself has a relatively open view of this problem, he has been sent to Wanshan Port for a whole year, whether it is leading troops to fight or managing the place, he has accumulated a certain amount of experience, and now the military rank has also been promoted, it can be said that it has laid an excellent foundation for future promotion. And the reason why he has only been promoted to a military rank and has not received a higher scope of authority now, Chen Yixin believes that this is not his own problem, but that the territory controlled by Haihan is relatively limited, and there is no way to give him greater authority for the time being-unless he is willing to transfer back to the base camp to be a civilian in the general staff.

Compared with drawing maps and playing sand tables in the base camp, Chen Yixin is still more willing to be stationed outside - the military exploits that are actually exchanged on the battlefield are not comparable to those white shirts and pens in the command headquarters, and there are many more opportunities to be stationed outside. Although the standard of living on Dawanshan Island was far inferior to that of the base camp, Chen Yixin still persevered and persuaded his companion Li Dou to continue to stay on this isolated island. During the year he was stationed on the island, Chen Yixin only went back to Sanya once to receive commendations during the anniversary, and spent most of the rest of his time on the island.

Due to the special nature of Wanshan Port for both military and civilian use, it is almost impossible to completely block the military secrets here, and when ships enter and leave the port during the day, the fortifications on the shore of the harbor can be clearly observed from the ships, and there is no way to cover up the several warships assigned by the Military Commission to Wanshan Port when they are docked in the port, and it is easy for a discerning person to discover the attributes of the military stronghold in this place. However, in order to eliminate the possibility of outsiders coming into contact with the military zone, this is not difficult to do, and the port area has set aside a special area for outsiders to move, and the military restricted area is separated from it by walls, barbed wire, and other barricades, and almost all the shops, warehouses, restaurants, and hotels on the island are concentrated in this area -- including the kind of prison-like compound where Li Qingyang and others lived the night before.

Each courtyard has 12 rooms, as well as public facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms, and latrines, and even a small livestock shed outside the courtyard. The gate of the courtyard is locked from the outside every night during curfew hours and only reopens in the morning. All the outsiders who want to spend the night in Wanshan Port will either stay on the ship, or they will have to live in this kind of courtyard that is convenient for monitoring and control. There are four of these courtyards on the shore, and although the number of rooms is limited, there are also not many people to receive them, and at most four or five people on a ship are qualified to get off the ship and live in them, so there will be no fullness, and the troops stationed on the island only need very few manpower to effectively monitor the outsiders who have landed on the island.

Chen Yixin received a telegram from the Guangzhou Office four days ago to assist in the investigation, and soon from the capital to the Ministry of Security and the Central Military Commission jointly issued a notice to assist in the investigation, and the object of investigation was a group of Ming brocade guards who had recently tried to infiltrate Sanya. There are no photos of the target, no specific number, no time for the other party's action and how to sneak in, simply put, this is to rely on direct arrest.

Chen Yixin and Li Dou didn't pay much attention to this task at first, because the main function of Wanshan Port is only a cargo transit port, and most of the ships that dock here use it as a cargo transfer station, saving the voyage to Sanya by sea. The next stop of these ships is often to return to their place of origin, and their final destination is often not Sanya. These ships dock at the port for a day or two at most, and usually depart immediately after loading and unloading the cargo, and there are very few outsiders staying here for a long time. In other words, even if Jinyiwei plans to enter Sanya through the Guò sea route, as long as he inquires a little about the route to Sanya, he probably won't appear in Wanshan Port.

However, the development of the matter was beyond their expectations, and the day before yesterday, the Guangzhou Office sent another telegram, claiming that the traces of Jinyiwei had been discovered, and asking Wanshan Port to immediately prepare to assist in the arrest. Although Chen Yixin and Li Dou did not know what the situation was, they immediately organized a group of militiamen to start preparations in accordance with the requirements of the Guangzhou Office, and even vacated a warehouse to be used as a temporary cell for the prisoners.

The idea of putting the arrest location in Wanshan Port was not the one He Xi came up with, but Li Nai, who used recruitment methods to invite you into the urn. The reasons he gave were also very simple: It was very easy to attract the attention of the government by making a move in the city of Guangzhou, which was contrary to the original intention of the Haihan side not to make a big deal out of it; it was easy to disturb the local newcomers who were not familiar with the Haihan in Lijiazhuang; the distance from the mouth of the Pearl River to Sanya was too long, it would take several days on the way, and there was no convenient way to contact them, so if something happened, neither Guangzhou nor Sanya would be able to get news in time.

The conditions of Wanshan Port can just avoid all these troubles, the local area is completely under the jurisdiction of the Haihan people, and there are not too many outsiders, so there is no need to worry about the situation getting out of control will bring more trouble, and the results of the operation can also be notified to the Guangzhou Office and Sanya in time through the radio station on Guò Island. Of course, the most important point is that Wanshan Island is a small island hanging in the sea, and as long as the ship enters the port, it is impossible for the target person on board to escape capture.

A few hours later, a more detailed briefing was sent from Guangzhou, saying that the five Jinyi Wei spies who had been identified would arrive at Wanshan Port on two merchant ships, and that the troops stationed on the island would temporarily detain all the personnel on board, and that the security personnel who accompanied the ship would identify their faces before arresting them.

A few hours before Li Qingyang's ship arrived at Wanshan Harbor, the ship on which his other three companions were boarding had already arrived in advance, and had already been arrested by the troops stationed on the island as soon as they disembarked, and they were placed under house arrest in another nearby compound along with all the crew and sailors on board. Since only one investigator was sent from the Guangzhou Office, and it was still on the boat where Li Qingyang was staying, it was impossible to identify the suspects for the time being, so Chen Yixin only ordered the group of people to be placed under house arrest and did not arrest them immediately. If Li Qingyang's boat had arrived at Wanshan Harbor before dark last night, then when he entered the port, he could easily have found that the ship on which his companion was riding was docked at another trestle that was not more than half a mile away.

It was precisely because the ship arrived at the port too late that Chen Yixin decided to wait until dawn to arrest him in order to avoid troubles in the night operation, and Li Qingyang also had one more night of freedom. However, his other four companions were not so lucky, with the arrival of the investigators, the three brocade guard spies lurking among the early imprisoned personnel were immediately pulled out, and one of the people who stayed on the ship was also arrested by the militia army in his sleep. When Chen Yixin led the team to surround this courtyard, in fact, only Li Qingyang was left alone by the Jinyi Wei scouts, and he had not yet been arrested.

Chen Yixin's cold eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the courtyard one by one, and most of them showed unease and fear on their faces, and he soon noticed that one of them looked a little different, looking more calm and calm than others.

"You don't have to be nervous, this is the control area of the Haihan People's League, and no one will harm the interests of Haihan's business partners in this place. The safety of your person and property is under the protection of the militia group!" Chen Yixin's words made the faces of the people present a little lighter. "Protecting the interests of business partners" has always been the propaganda slogan of the Haihan people, and it is also the reason why they have deployed armed personnel in the coastal areas of the mainland.

Li Qingyang noticed that when the young officer was talking, his eyes were always fixed on his face, knowing that most of his identity had been exposed, and he no longer had the idea of luck, so he opened his mouth and asked: "This is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and we and the people of the Ming Dynasty should be protected by the officials and soldiers.

Chen Yixin smiled and said: "I heard that you have a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent, let me boldly guess, you are from Nanjing, right? I think you probably don't know much about the situation in this area, and the only ones who have the ability to provide free protection to the Daming maritime merchants here are our Haihan militia group, as for the Ming officials and soldiers, as long as they don't come out to cause trouble, it's okay......

"Bold!" Li Qingyang couldn't help but scold, but before he could continue, Song San next to him had already pulled his arm back and dragged him back, and said in a loud voice: "This guy was just recruited, he doesn't understand the rules, don't blame the chief!"

"It's okay, you don't have to pull him and let him finish talking. Chen Yixin knew that this person must be the right idea, and now there are hundreds of people surrounding this courtyard, and there is no need to worry that he can fly away, so he is not in a hurry to arrest him at the moment.

Li Qingyang heard the other party point out his own way, and he already understood that the matter was defeated, and he had no scruples at the moment, so he pulled Song San's hand away and said: "Brother Song doesn't care, I don't want to affect you in the future!"

After Li Qingyang finished speaking, he took a few steps forward and said loudly: "You Haihan people occupy the island as kings, organize armies, make firearms privately, evade taxes, ignore the imperial court, do you still have the king's law in your eyes?"

Chen Yixin sneered: "So you are the one who came to punish us on behalf of the imperial court on behalf of Wang Fa?"

Li Qingyang gritted his teeth, took out an ivory waist card from his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Li Qingyang, one hundred households in the Fusi of Weinan Town, Daming Jinyi, is here, and the chaotic party will not quickly abandon the weapon and beg to surrender!"

Chen Yixin's face sank and said: "This madman actually pretends to be an official of the imperial court!

Several people behind Chen Yixin couldn't hold it back for a long time, and when they heard the words, they rushed up. Li Qingyang pulled out the dagger from his armpit and before he could swing it, he was hit by two wooden sticks in the arm at the same time, and the dagger fell to the ground with a bang. Rao was quick enough to react and kicked out one of the oncoming people, but at the same time, the two of them bowed over and hugged his waist at the same time. Li Qingyang didn't break free for a while, and five or six people rushed up behind him, lifting his feet and pressing his hands, and immediately put him to the ground. Although Li Qingyang has kung fu, he is held down by so many people, and he is unable to make effective resistance actions at all.

Someone took the rope and tied Li Qingyang's hands and feet together, and at the end he stuffed a large ball of rags in his mouth, not because he was afraid of yelling, and no one would save him if he cut his throat on this island, but he was worried that he would bite his tongue and commit suicide in a hurry, which would go against the original intention of spending so much trouble to catch him alive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what this man said is not the truth, he is actually a member of a gang of Jiangyang thieves, this gang of gangsters plans to disguise themselves in various identities to infiltrate Sanya and seek money by illegal means. Four of this man's other accomplices were all captured by us yesterday, and we have ample evidence here that they are not good people. Chen Yixin made a gesture, and immediately someone walked up with two large wooden plates and showed the "physical evidence" to everyone in the courtyard.

There are daggers, gold leaves, drugs, and wound medicines of different lengths in the wooden plate, and there is no need for Chen Yixin to explain more, indeed these things are not the utensils that ordinary people will carry with them. At this time, the militiamen had already taken out all the things on Li Qingyang's body, and the same physical evidence was found on him without any suspense.
