Chapter 159: The Wako
Inland navigation is different from Hainan Airlines, which is always full of dangers, encountering all kinds of strange monsters, as well as murderous pirates. If it is the open sea, you will even encounter dragons that have been almost extinct on land, and the dragons can set off storms and waves on the sea, even ironclad ships may be overturned, and the only thing that the inland river needs to care about is everywhere.
If the imperial court issued a sea fishing document, these customs would become insurmountable barriers, like a sluice knife, cutting off all the hopes of the river and ocean thieves.
Because of the relationship between Pei Xiaolou and the county prince's mansion, neither the imperial court nor the Daomen ordered the arrest of Wei Wugui, so Qi Xuansu is still innocent. It's not the innocence of a woman, but the innocence of having no criminal record.
As he spoke, a pass was already in sight, and passing ships had to pay commercial taxes here, and the checkpoint was also stationed with Catchers, Qingluanwei and Black-clothed Men to check the passing ships according to various sea fishing documents.
As for why there are Qingluanwei everywhere, we have to mention the responsibilities of local Qingluanwei.
The first is to supervise the local area and collect intelligence. The second is to monitor all kinds of sensitive overseas visitors. The third is responsible for the arrest of members of the secret association. Fourth, it is responsible for arresting robbers and cracking various relatively special cases, such as local officials being greedy for ink, river embankments falling into disrepair, tax and silver theft, and serial killings.
As for all kinds of cases that need to be dealt with ordinary people, such as theft, robbery, adultery and murder, and fights, Qingluanwei does not care, it is the duty of the local prosecutor to raise sentences. As a matter of fact, there are few major and important cases after all, but there are many such ordinary cases, which are closely related to the interests of the people.
And Qingluanwei and the Punishment and Prosecution Department do not have much intersection, Qingluanwei's grade is not high, but he belongs to the pro-army Governor's Mansion, known as the Son of Heaven and the pro-army, directly belongs to the emperor, even the cabinet can't be asked. According to the procuratorial department, the criminal department is connected with the criminal department, and the criminal department obeys the orders of the cabinet.
However, sometimes, in order to deal with some major cases, the two sides will also jointly handle the case, generally led by Qingluanwei, and the headcatchers drawn from the local government obey the command of Qingluanwei, and during this time, ordinary catchers also temporarily have the identity and power of Qingluanwei, and can temporarily wear a Tsing Yi to handle cases across the border and arrest people.
Generally speaking, with the same grade and qualifications, Qingluanwei's treatment is much better, which makes many catchers want to be transferred to Qingluanwei. Qingluanwei will also appropriately absorb some experienced veterans. However, Qingluanwei's favorite is the man in black, and a considerable number of people in Qingluanwei today have retired from the man in black, and many people in black want to transfer from martial arts to literature, and also use Qingluan Satellite TV as a springboard in the middle.
In the previous dynasty, the civil and military were clearly distinguished, and the vulgar warriors still wanted to be civil officials? That's never. However, after Daomen defeated Confucianism, it broke many rules set by Confucianism, deliberately downplaying the difference between civil and military, and advocating generals and generals, which also became the norm.
Qingluanwei and Catcher are not subordinate to each other, but there are some secret differences, there have always been local catchers who want to be transferred to Qingluanwei, and few Qingluanwei want to be fast. The black-clothed man and Qingluanwei are indistinguishable, and the flow of personnel is frequent.
As for the relationship between the man in black and Qingluanwei, the man in black does not obey Qingluanwei's dispatch, nor is he a head lower than Qingluanwei, but he often assists Qingluanwei in dealing with some tricky enemies. It was probably Qingluanwei who collected intelligence, determined the target, and found that he couldn't beat it, so he applied for support, and then the man in black came forward, and the heavy firearms and heavy cavalry went down and destroyed it, so the relationship between the two families was not bad.
Therefore, it is often seen that the joint actions of the three families of Catcher Kuai, Qingluanwei, and the Man in Black are involved, and if they are involved in a secret association, they even have to add Taoist priests and spiritual officials from the Daomen. The people of the imperial court joined the Daomen, or the people of the Daomen transferred to the imperial court, many of them were the opportunities arising from these joint actions.
Xu Kou is an example.
Coincidentally, when I passed the customs today, I met the inspection of Qingluanwei, after the iron boat docked, the black-clothed man with a firearm stood on the shore, and Qingluanwei came to the ship with a catcher and began to check one by one.
Soon Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou were found here, and the leading Qingluan Wei tried to see Qi Xuansu carrying a fire gun, which was originally like a great enemy, but when the two showed the waist card of the man in black and the waist card of Tiangang Hall respectively, they suddenly became kind.
It's all their own people.
Xu Kou took the opportunity to hand out a paper flue-cured tobacco from the West and asked, "How did you make such a big battle, even the man in black was alarmed?" ”
Qingluanwei tried to take the flue-cured cigarettes, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and lowered his voice slightly: "It's all my own family, and I won't hide it, it's a troublemaker." ”
Qi Xuansu's first reaction was disbelief: "My Great Xuanshui Division crisscrosses the four seas, and only Western countries can compete with it. ”
"Hey, it's said that it's a pirate, but it's actually a pirate, and the head and brain are all from our Central Plains, and we have hired a lot of Japanese wanderers to act as accomplices to thugs, and they are rampant on the sea on weekdays, robbing merchant ships. This time, they were surrounded by our sailors, and became turtles in urns and birds in cages, and they were so dizzy that they fled to land, and as soon as they landed, they were defeated and scattered by the men in black. "Try 100 households to take out the fire fold and light the flue-cured tobacco, "It's just that this group of pirates is not like those lustful people, they all look similar to us, and after being scattered, they drill into the pile of people and hide, it's really hard to distinguish." I can only use this stupid method to investigate slowly, and I don't know how much effort it takes. ”
Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou glanced at each other and suddenly understood.
This is the errand of the man in black, but the pirates are mixed into the people, and the man in black is difficult to distinguish, which requires Qingluanwei and the fast catcher, especially the fast capture in various places, not only experienced, the key is that he is very familiar with the local situation, the three religions and nine streams have intersections, and there are their own informants, eyes and ears, it is not difficult to find people.
At this moment, there was a commotion on a cargo ship in front of me, which was also docked for inspection, and then a shirtless man jumped into the canal.
Immediately after that, the black-clad man with a firearm appeared on top of the box of goods, condescendingly firing the gun towards the boiling river.
In a few moments, the surface of the river was covered with blood.
Then it was Qingluanwei, armed with a strong crossbow, who shot crossbow arrows with ropes into the river, and with the fishing net, the man who was injured by the fire gun was fished out of the river.
"Dude, you are not waiting in vain today." Xu Kou said with a smile.
Qingluanwei also had a smile on his face: "No matter how big the fish is, it's better than going home empty-handed." If we have nothing to gain, it will not be easy to explain to the above. ”
Qi Xuansu asked, "Then again, when will this be caught?" ”
"It is said that there is a big fish in this gang of pirates, and it has not been found. As long as we find the big fish, we're almost ready to cross. "Try 100 households to spit out a puff of smoke, and the mood is much better than that.
Qi Xuansu somewhat understood.
This gang of pirates is not simple.
can be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court sailors, and can break through the encirclement of the sailors, and land on land, although they were defeated by the men in black in an instant, but some people still escaped.
This is not something that ordinary pirates can do.
Thinking of the saying of "big fish", the reason why the sailor targeted this group of pirates is probably not as simple as suppressing the bandits, but because there are important people in this group of pirates.
After the Daxuan Imperial Court abolished Xijing, only 19 prefectures and Zhili remained, with a total of 12 commanders and military officers, 36 town guard officers, and nearly 100 assistant deputy commanders. Among them, nine land commanders and three waterway commanders were the Beihai Division, the East China Sea Division, and the South China Sea Naval Division, which were respectively under the control of the three governors of Liaodong, Gyeonggi, and Jiangnan.
Luzhou is just located at the junction of the East China Sea Division and the South China Sea Division, but I don't know whether the East China Sea Division or the South China Sea Navy Division came forward to suppress the bandits at sea.
The East China Sea Division is inextricably linked with the Li family of Taiping Dao, because the predecessor of the East China Sea Division is the Li family's fleet.
The South China Sea Naval Division is inextricably linked with the Zhengyi Cihang lineage, and its predecessor was the fleet of the Cihang lineage.
This also made Qi Xuansu think of a possibility.
Will this extermination of pirates be related to the case of the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce?
