2387. Chapter 2387

Chapter 2387

Sun Zhen took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, took out one and handed it to Gong Qi Qi. Gong Qi Qi took the cigarette and touched his pocket with the other hand to find no fire, but Sun Zhen had already lit a match.

Hand it to him.

Gong Shiqi smiled, tilted his head and leaned forward to light a cigarette. After taking a deep breath, he raised the cigarette in front of his face and said, "The cigarettes issued by your army are better. I replied last time."

The whole carton of cigarettes I went to pick up from Fushan County was all wet, making it impossible to smoke!"

Sun Zhen smiled and said: "It takes a month or two for cigarettes to be transported to the north on the sea. If the package is not good, it will inevitably get damp. It depends on your luck! It's okay. I'll have someone get you two more cigarettes later. Remember me.

On the account!”

Gong Shiqi smiled and said: "Being respectful is not as good as obeying orders, so I won't be polite!"

Cigarettes are one of the newly popular products in Haihan's foreign trade field. However, due to the limited tobacco planting area and low production capacity, these cigarettes were not sold to the northern part of the Ming Dynasty through official channels. However, official personnel stationed in the northern colonial area also

Few people smoked, and there was a certain demand for cigarettes, so cigarettes were listed as one of the rationed materials, specially supplied to official personnel and the garrison.

These special groups will also enjoy a certain number of free quotas depending on their position. For example, Sun Zhen is currently a captain and battalion commander. He enjoys a free quota of two cigarettes per month. If you want to smoke more, you can, but you have to do it yourself.

You have to pay for it, but even if you pay for it yourself, there is a limit, otherwise it will be easy for this rationing system that exists as a welfare to breed a large-scale underground black market.

The value of two cigarettes is more or less, and the size can be considered a personal favor. Gong Qiqi understood why Sun Zhen wanted to give him a gift, because after interrogating Hu Lusha, they all realized that this time

It was a big achievement, and two cigarettes were nothing compared to it. Gong Shiqi worked beside Hao Wanqing, so his room for promotion was certainly not as big as that of Sun Zhen, and the Ministry of Security never made any public disclosures.

Incentive measures, so Sun Zhen will definitely get more benefits from it. These two cigarettes can also be regarded as a little reward for his help provided by Gong Shiqi during the interrogation process.

Sun Zhen exhaled a puff of smoke and asked slowly: "Speaking of which, if you didn't scare this guy out of fear just now, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go, are you really planning to chop him alive?"

Gong Shiqi smiled and said: "I just learned a superficial lesson from others. It's not that simple if you really want to do it. There are rules on where you can and cannot use a knife on your body. I'm just talking about it.

Kung Fu... luckily it works. If it doesn't work, then I have no choice but to catch the duck and practice it on that guy!"

It is indeed difficult to keep secret when encountering a master with many methods and experience like Gong Shiqi. Hulusa is not a timid person, but under Gong Shiqi's threats and coercion, he still

He was so frightened that he confessed. Sun Zhen watched the whole process and naturally knew that what Gong Shiqi just said was just modesty. His acting skills and control of the fire were so skillful that even Sun Zhen believed him, let alone the person who was threatened by him.

Although Gong Shiqi claimed that he had only scratched the surface of his knowledge and was just relying on his words to scare people, Sun Zhen had no doubt that he was really capable of carrying out this kind of torture.

Sun Zhendao: "Originally, I was worried that Fushan County's troops would be insufficient, but after this incident, I'm afraid the higher-ups will soon send more troops to Shandong."

Gong Shiqi looked at the refugee settlement in the distance and said with emotion: "It's a blessing in disguise. It's not necessarily a bad thing... Take one step at a time and wait for the arrangements from above!"

After they captured Hulusa's group, they thought for a time that they were a group of defeated Ming troops who had sneaked away disguised as refugees, or even troops sent by Dengzhou to Fushan County to cause trouble. However, the truth turned out to be worse than they expected.

Even more serious.

According to Hulusa's confession, he did not work for Dengzhou Prefecture or other local officials of the Ming Dynasty, but was a subordinate of Geng Zhongming, the rebel general of the Ming Dynasty.

Yes, it was the same Geng Zhongming who served as an official under Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Shandong. He served as a staff general of the Chinese Army in Dengzhou. Later, during the Denglai Rebellion, he cooperated with Kong Youde in the capture of Dengzhou City. He then defected to Liaodong and joined Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Together with two other rebel generals of the Ming Dynasty, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, they were crowned king by Huang Taiji.

Hu Lusha was one of Geng Zhongming's navy commanders when he was the General-in-Chief of Dengzhou. He later defected to Liaodong with Geng Zhongming and was incorporated into the Qing army, still doing his old job.

However, when the Qing army invaded Korea the year before last, they concentrated almost all the warships on the Yalu River. As a result, the Haihan Navy blocked them in the Yalu River and wiped them out. In the end, a large number of rafts were temporarily built to serve as a ferry for the Qing army to cross the river.

From then on, Hulusha had no warships to use, and only had the title of "Navy Commander" left.

Due to the continuous clearing of the Liaodong coastline by the Haihan Army, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties could hardly build warships near the coast. Even if they could secretly build a few ships in the inland rivers, they would not dare to risk going out to sea. Naval forces like Hulusha

I couldn't find a place to use my family background, so I became a complete idler.

It wasn't until the end of last year that Huang Taiji decided to send troops to invade the south and ordered Geng Zhongming to lead his troops. Hulusa finally got a job after a long absence. However, the journey south was all overland, and he could only follow the cavalry and eat dust.

After marching all the way into Shandong, Dorgon decided to cross the Yellow River to attack Jinan City, and Hulusa and his navy finally came in handy.

However, due to the strategic decision-making mistakes of the Ming Dynasty, all the main forces were transferred to the Dezhou front line for deployment. However, there was a serious lack of defense means against natural dangers such as the Yellow River. Therefore, Hulusa did not encounter any trouble during the battle across the river. The Ming army even

He didn't even offer a decent resistance. And after crossing the river and attacking Jinan City, he had nothing to do.

Just being a boatman didn't mean he had any merit in battle, but he marched all the way from Shenyang to Jinan and traveled more than two thousand miles without any merit. Hulusa was naturally unwilling to accept such a result. So he took the initiative to ask Geng Zhongming for a battle.

I hope I can get a slightly more difficult job.

Geng Zhongming happened to have such an action plan on hand, and Hulusa's experience, expertise, and abilities were all in line with the requirements of the plan. So Geng Zhongming asked him to consider whether to take on the task. If he succeeded, he would definitely be promoted and make a fortune.

Indispensable, maybe he can reach the sky in one step and become the fourth person to be crowned king in the future.

Hulusha had been in the army for many years, so he was naturally courageous and experienced. After carefully studying this plan, he felt that there was a great chance of success, so he gritted his teeth and accepted this rather dangerous task.

The core content of this action plan formulated by the Qing army was to have a group of people disguise themselves as refugees and follow the refugee flow into Dengzhou to see if they could have a chance to enter Fushan County controlled by Haihan, and then use their identity as refugees.

Lie down and wait for the right opportunity to take action.

Whether to create a local civil uprising, assassinate important figures in Haihan, or seek opportunities to steal Haihan's advanced weapons and warships, there is no definite goal in this plan. Everything will be decided by Hulusha according to the situation. He will

During the mission, he has absolute autonomy and can make his own decisions based on the development of the situation. If it is really impossible to carry out the action in Fushan County, then he can also choose to move the action location to Dengzhou City, or simply look for an opportunity to withdraw to Liaodong. Nothing

If you withdraw once you do it, it will be a futile effort at best, but as long as one of the many hypothetical goals can be achieved, then the rewards and promotions afterwards will definitely be indispensable.

But the risk is that the Qing army will withdraw from Ming Dynasty before the beginning of spring, and they will not be able to provide him with support in time. It is not easy to make a big splash under the noses of Ming Dynasty and Haihan with a hundred or so people.

Easy things.

However, the current situation in Shandong is obviously more beneficial to the party in the dark. Tens of thousands of refugees are the best cover for Hulusa and his gang. Neither the Ming Dynasty nor Haihan can deal with such a large refugee group.

With strict screening and monitoring, they can use their refugee status to travel around Shandong, and there will not be much problem if they want to go to Fushan County. Moreover, they have served as soldiers in Dengzhou in their early years, and they are not familiar with the local environment.

They are relatively familiar with each other, and their speech, behavior, living habits, and professional skills will not be easily revealed. It is difficult to see through their true identity through ordinary contact.

So Hulusa and his gang changed their gear outside Jinan City, got a few carriages to transport food, hid weapons in the cars, and then followed the fleeing people all the way eastward. From Jinan City to Zhaoyuan County,

After traveling six to seven hundred miles all the way, we really didn’t encounter any trouble. Although some people would covet their carts and food during this period, Hulusa’s group of people were not vegetarians. They had to deal with the rogues among the people.

Robbers are certainly not a problem.

Just like this, they stopped and went to Zhaoyuan County. Hulusa and his gang had just settled down. Before they even had time to notice that the Haihan Army was already stationed in the area, they were attacked by another group of bandits who followed them all the way.

Because the other party used a sneak attack, Hulusa's group only realized the situation after losing two people and a grain truck, and then quickly organized a counterattack against the bold bandits. They didn't even use the method of hiding.

With his weapons, he successfully defeated his opponent and regained the stolen food.

Although they had solved this trouble as quickly as possible, the too much noise still attracted the attention of the Haihan Army. Hulusa never expected that there would be public activities of the Haihan Army in Zhaoyuan County. This was inconsistent with

There was obviously a huge discrepancy in the information he had previously obtained, and these Haihan troops were obviously not easy to fool. Although he tried hard, he still could not dispel the suspicions of the Haihan troops.

Hulusha had no way of judging how many Haihan troops there were in the local area, so he did not dare to attempt unnecessary resistance. When he was sure that the Haihan troops would not let him go, he could only give a signal to escape from here and let his men

Everyone ran for their lives.

Since Hulusa took on such a risky task, he was naturally determined to die on the battlefield, but he really didn't expect to encounter a monster like Gong Shiqi, who used the simplest way to trigger the fear in his heart, and was actually killed alive.

Scared into confessing.

Most of what Hulusha confessed has been verified through cross-examination by other prisoners. Both Gong Shiqi and Sun Zhen believed that its credibility was very high, and wrote a message with general conclusions and sent it back to the commander in Fushan County.

department and asked Chen Yixin for instructions on the next step.

After finishing all these things, the two of them had time to walk out of the tent to smoke a cigarette and take a rest. At this time, Hu Lusha and other survivors had been detained in a nearby private house. Gong Shiqi came forward to get this house. How much did it cost?

Gong Qi Qi didn't talk about the money, but he just told Sun Zhen not to worry about it. These expenses would be borne by the funds of the Ministry of Security. Sun Zhen felt so sorry that he had to seize the opportunity to give Gong Qi Qi two cigarettes to express his gratitude.

"Although the main culprit has been caught, I don't know how many spies are out there lurking like this. If these people sneak into Fushan County, it might really become a big trouble!" Sun Zhen thought about it, but still

I feel a bit uneasy about the current situation.

Gong Shiqi said: "Although I haven't returned to Fushan County on this trip, I still know roughly how the refugee camp operates. After these refugees arrive in Fushan County, unless there is someone to take refuge with, most of them will be admitted as refugees

Unified resettlement in the camp. It is not as easy as you think to do things in the refugee camp...and the higher authorities will definitely call in professional officials who are more familiar with this matter to direct the work. In fact, every loophole we can think of will have corresponding loopholes.

Monitoring measures.”

Sun Zhendao said: "General Chen transferred Liu Shangliu, the man in charge of civil affairs, back from Jinzhou. He seems to have worked in the refugee camp in Fushan County before."

Gong Shiqi knew Liu Shang's situation better than Sun Zhen, and immediately responded: "Although Mr. Liu is a propaganda man, he also has some skills in managing refugee camps. The refugee camp in Fushan County was established in the past few years.

A similar incident happened and he was mixed in with a group of people to cause trouble. It is said that Mr. Liu discovered the clues and dealt with them in time. He also won the favor of General Chen with his performance during this period and was later transferred.

Served in Jinzhou."

Sun Zhendao: "This Mr. Liu went to North Korea last year to help manage refugee affairs. It seems that the superiors really trust his ability."

"Leave professional matters to professional people. We have caught everything we can. If there are still fish that slip through the net and go to Fushan County, it will be left to the local officials to take responsibility." Gong Shiqi responded.

But he is very open-minded, because he has another reassurance here: "Don't forget that Director Hao of my Security Department is also in charge of Fushan County. Playing tricks in front of him is no different from playing tricks on others!"

Sun Zhen smiled and said, "I forgot about this! That's all, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I can just wait here and wait for the notification."
