Chapter 633 Shimonoseki
Gu Zhenlong’s true intention was just in case.
The weapons found in the two newspapers were enough to arm a company, but there were less than 70 militants killed and caught. What about the rest?
If you can't search in the city, you have to consider whether you are hiding outside the city or having already escaped from Nanjing.
With such a big disturbance, even if someone has been hidden outside the city, he will definitely run away. But even if he can't find someone, he must try to find out how these people came and how they ran away.
The outer city looks like a diamond-shaped wall with a circumference of 120 miles and an area of nearly 200 square kilometers.
The Investigation Division, the Investigation Division, and the Second and Fifth Regiments of the Gendarmerie Cultivation Regiments, there were less than 5,000 people, and they only surrounded and did not search. One soldier had to guard the 12-meter-long city wall.
"In this way, you go and inform Xu Zhidao and ask him to send all his troops to the city wall and hand them over to our people within the city wall!" Fang Buwei explained.
"Okay, I'll go call!" Zhao Shirui replied.
He and Zhao Shirui left the city from Yijiang Gate, which is the northwest corner of the inner city. In addition to the military police, there are Lin Shuanglong who had to withdraw in the future and received martial law again.
The city gate has not been closed for the time being, but it only enters and does not leave. The inspection is several times stricter than before. All the goods are folded and inspected, and everyone entering the city will be stopped and interrogated.
When Fang Buwei left the city, a long line of black lines had already been lined up outside the gate.
Judging from the progress of the inspection, these convoys may not be able to complete the inspection until dark.
"So many people?" Standing on the gatehouse, Zhao Shirui looked at the convoy lined up to the riverside and shouted subconsciously.
"The inner city residents have more than 200,000 yuan, but they only need 200,000 to 300,000 kilograms of grain and rice that they chew a day, let alone others?" Fang Buwei replied, "The goods entering the city are all transported by the Yangtze River and the railway. The largest wharf and freight station are all in Xiaguan. The closest one is Yijiangmen..."
"So many, when will we check it?" Zhao Shirui said astonished.
"Slow down!" Fang Buwei replied, "What's the point of hunger? It's better than death!"
"No wonder the commander only had martial law and did not lock down the city!" Zhao Shirui said again.
The reason why Gu Zhenlong did not lock down the city is not only to ensure the people's livelihood in the city, but also to consider political factors.
Nanjing City is the capital, and it cannot be sealed just by banning it.
The city gates of one, two, three, and three were tightly blocked, and the vehicles could not get out at all. Fang Buwei could only order two personnel to walk out of the city.
Fortunately, the Second Gendarmerie Regiment and the Fifth Regiment were stationed outside the inner city, otherwise they might not have been able to climb the city wall until dark.
After leaving the city gate and looking at the dark convoy outside the city, Fang Buwei felt a move and called Zhao Shirui.
"You take your people to the gates of each city and ask these merchants if you have seen any abnormal people and movements in the outer city in recent times..."
Zhao Shirui understood as soon as he heard it.
Since it is an investigation, it is naturally inseparable from inquiring about merchants outside the city. Now martial law is in place, at least half of the merchants are blocked outside the city, which is the best time.
"Don't be too strong, give me some sweetness..." Fang Buwei reminded again.
Zhao Shirui nodded and signaled to understand.
Isn't this simple yet?
As long as you agree to provide clues, you can go to the city early, and there are many people who are competing.
Zhao Shirui took the investigation department away, and Fang Buwei took the anti-espionage stock to Xiaguan.
After the Republic of China government established its capital in Nanjing, the Nanjing Municipal Government made detailed plans. Originally, the area north of Fugui Mountain, Xianglin Temple, Ming Forbidden City, and Wuchaomen were divided into commercial areas.
But government officials took it too much.
First of all, they did not find out whether the transportation was convenient.
The Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty is in the east, Xiaguan Station, and Zhongshan Wharf is in the west. The goods are transported to Nanjing and then transported to the designated commercial area. It is extremely inconvenient to cross the entire Nanjing city.
The government has mobilized for several years but has not achieved any results. So to date, the administrative and residential areas are all in the inner city, but the commercial areas are still outside the city.
As soon as I left Yijiangmen, there were many businesses and shops, and there were all kinds of business.
In addition to docks and freight transportation, Xiaguan is the most famous restaurants and brothels.
The most famous one is the 16th floor of Flower Moon and Spring Breeze. It has food, drink, play and fun, and is a masterpiece of Jinling.
In this era, ordinary people generally had a resistant attitude towards the government and asked in a straightforward manner, but 80% of them did not ask for useful information.
Fang Buyi repeated the same trick, and called several team leaders and explained them one by one.
Half an hour later, the streets of Xiaguan, large and small, were covered with official notices.
"Spy have already sneaked into the city and wanted to commit an assassination... Those who provide clues will be given priority to entering the city during the martial law period..." A shopkeeper read the content of the notice.
There were many people around him, and when they heard this, they immediately started to talk.
What was discussed was not whether spies sneaked into the city, but when will they be able to open the city gate?
Fang Buwei arranged several team members under each notice, waiting for someone to provide clues.
But an hour passed, with many onlookers watching, but few informants.
All the inner city gates were martial law and rigorously searched. Soldiers carrying the long wall surrounded the walls. Coupled with such a big noise in the city last night, the merchants knew that something was going to happen even later.
When I saw many strange faces appearing on the street, they all looked very careful.
Fang Buwei took Ye Xingzhong and sat on the table in front of a restaurant, drinking tea leisurely.
A notice was posted on the wall more than ten meters away from him, and the two team members sat under the notice.
"Sir, how many days will this martial law take?" asked a man with the appearance of a boss.
"Not necessarily!" the team member replied, "If the spy catches him, there will naturally be no martial law..."
This is not a lie.
A reward notice has been posted in Gucheng, which is also a similar remark.
The discussion suddenly increased a few times. The fresh vegetables that I just collected were probably going to rot in my hands, and the shop that shouted that the city might be out of stock today.
But only someone shouted, but no one stepped forward.
"Sir, does this work?" Ye Xingzhong asked.
In a world where soldiers are panicked and chaotic, the people are afraid of officials, but they are even more afraid of bandits.
Maybe once you report the news, the bandits will destroy the whole family.
"Don't worry, this is more effective than releasing a lot of rewards!" Fang Buwei replied.
It is a businessman's nature to pursue profits. Anyone who doesn't think it's best to let other people's goods be blocked outside the city, and let their own goods be shipped into the city first, making a big profit.
Dozens of notices were posted, and less than a hundred members were sent to the whistleblower under the notice. The remaining more than 400 people were all secretly investigated.
I can see it smartly that as long as I sit in my own shop, someone will come to ask, and it will not be too late to talk about it at that time.
Ye Xingzhong is not stupid, but he is just absent-minded.
Fang Buwei naturally knew what Ye Xingzhong was thinking.
