Chapter 1788 Putting the matter to rest

Before Deng Qing came to Ningbo this time, he really didn't expect that the Haihan people would act so unscrupulously. His identity as a royal guard did not have the proper deterrent effect at all. Instead, he lost one man in vain. But fortunately, Ningbo Mansion

Someone was sent in time to stop the Haihan people from continuing to commit murder, otherwise Deng Qing would not be sure whether he could still save his life in the situation just now.

But as the Jin Yiwei grasped, the Ningbo Mansion and the Haihan people had been colluding for a long time, and they actually let the Haihan thugs leave without any intention of holding them accountable for the murder. Moreover, the cavalry officer persuaded the Haihan people to leave.

After the Han people arrived, they immediately asked Deng Qing and others to leave Ningbo. It was obvious that they had deep hostility towards them.

Deng Qing even had some suspicions that this farce was a trap set up for him by the Ningbo Prefecture and the Haihan people. Otherwise, how could he have just intercepted the grain transport convoy and the Haihan people with guns and ammunition arrived in time? Then think of this team

It seems that it is no coincidence that the cavalry appeared at the right time. Deng Qing felt more and more that he was being plotted by the other party. As for why the other party only killed one person and then let him go, Deng Qing believed that this was the other party's intention to warn him and the big shots behind him.

, and have no peace of mind to get things done.

With the current situation, can he continue to perform tasks in Ningbo Mansion? Deng Qing felt that it was unlikely. The cavalry team that came to rescue just now did not leave too far and kept staring at Deng Qing from a distance.

This group of people obviously intends to continue to monitor them until they leave the country. After what happened just now, it will be difficult for Deng Qing to cause trouble in Ningbo Mansion again, and it is most reasonable to leave here as soon as possible

choice.

This group of Jin Yiwei was not the only one who was suffocating in his heart. In fact, Lin Xing, who seemed to have the upper hand just now, was still very unhappy. Although he had humiliated this group of Jin Yiwei in person, it was considered revenge for their seizure of Haihan's military rations.

, but Lin Xing still couldn't get the answer to the question he wanted to find out. He didn't think it was an accident that Jin Yiwei came to seize Haihan's military rations. The other party had found brothers He Xiao and He Li beforehand, and deliberately pretended to be a businessman and arrived in Changxing in advance.

The layout of this side of the town is clearly prepared.

Does a Jinyiwei Baihu have such courage and authority to operate this matter? Lin Xing is skeptical about this, and according to He Xiao, the Jinyiwei stationed in Ningbo Prefecture have no idea that Nanjing has sent people here.

It is possible that the person who planned this matter no longer trusts the Jin Yiwei here, so they have such a strange arrangement, and this is far beyond the scope of authority of a hundred-household officer.

Lin Xing believed that he was fully capable of finding out the truth of the matter. As long as the boss surnamed Xu came just a few hours later, he would have been able to force those Jin Yiwei to reveal the truth. But it was a pity that the chess was wrong. How could he

He also couldn't understand why Qu Yutong sent someone to stop him from taking action at this juncture. This didn't require his magistrate to show up, and he could handle the matter properly. But after letting these Jinyi guards go,

, it would be more troublesome to pursue it further.

Lin Xing originally hoped that after completing this errand, he could return to Zhoushan Island to express his merits to Shi Diwen, but after being interrupted by the Ningbo Prefecture, he naturally had no choice but to return without success.

Back in Ningbo City, Lin Xing first asked the people he brought out to return to the Golden Shield Escort Station. He then went to Haihan's office in the city, planning to send someone to invite He Xiao over and discuss the matter again.

How should things end? But when he arrived at the office, he was shocked to find that his boss Shi Diwen had appeared quietly.

"I just met with Magistrate Qu, and I have a general idea of ​​the situation here. The current situation is basically within our control, so we don't have to worry too much about the Jinyiwei." Shi Di explained the situation to Lin Xing in a concise and comprehensive manner.

status.

Lin Xing responded: "Chief, there is still something unclear about this humble position. Since it is known that the group of Jin Yiwei came to Ningbo to cause trouble, then why did Magistrate Qu let them leave safely? Could it be that the person behind this is not even Magistrate Qu?

A big shot who dares to offend?"

"You think it through quite clearly!" Shi Diwen said with a smile: "If he didn't have any scruples, I'm afraid he would be more ruthless than you!"

Lin Xing's curiosity arose now, and he carefully asked Shi Diwen about the big shot who made Qu Yutong temporarily change his mind and let go of the Jin Yiwei who were causing trouble in Ningbo.

Shi Diwen said: "Just listen to it here, but don't spread it outside. This matter involves many aspects, and if it spreads, it will have a bad impact on Magistrate Qu."

Lin Xing quickly agreed. Being able to access such level of secrets was a sign of gaining the trust of his superiors.

Qu Yutong wanted to make use of Ningbo, a geomantic treasure land, to develop a situation. Of course, the relationship he had to maintain was not only with Haihan, but also with the places in the Ming Dynasty that needed to pay tribute and burn incense. And these cost a lot of money.

It is very rare to maintain a relationship of interest that can play a role at critical moments. For example, this time Jin Yiwei came to Ningbo to cause trouble, someone secretly informed Qu Yutong. Although it was a little late, there was still time to let Qu Yutong know.

Yu Tong promptly adjusted the measures to deal with the incident and did not make things right.

According to the information obtained by Qu Yutong, Jinyiwei sent people to Ningbo to cause trouble on behalf of Qianhu, a man named Luo from Nanjing. The purpose was to create conflicts between the prefect's Yamen and the Haihan people, and then slowly

Trying to remove Qu Yutong, who had lost the support of Haihan, from the position of Ningbo magistrate.

In fact, many competitors with similar plans have appeared in recent years. This is not the first time that Qu Yutong has encountered someone trying to trick him. However, most of the time, the opponents who appear are not strong enough.

, it was not enough to make him fearful. But the intervention of Jin Yiwei this time was a little different. Qu Yutong did not want to make the matter unmanageable, so he immediately sent a team of cavalry after confirming the news.

Go out of the city to stop the Golden Shield movement.

If he was just an ordinary member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu, Qu Yutong still wouldn't take it seriously. After all, how could a fifth-grade military attache compete with him, a fourth-grade civil servant who wanted money and people under his command?

A rivalry? But it happened that the Qianhu who wanted to take advantage of him this time had a slightly special identity.

"This Qianhu is the nephew of Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei. Magistrate Qu is worried that there is some intention from the capital behind this, so he doesn't want to do anything too drastic to avoid angering Luo Yangxing." Shi Diwen said in a few words.

Find out the hidden reasons behind the incident.

Speaking of the commander who now controls the Jin Yiwei, it can be regarded as a family tradition. His father Luo Sigong served as the commander of the Jin Yiwei from Wanli to Tianqi. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, Luo Sigong was rejected by Wei Zhongxian and replaced by Tian Ergen.

He sat there for three years. After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Wei Zhongxian quickly fell. Tian Ergeng was kicked out for helping Wei Zhongxian eliminate dissidents and other crimes. The Jinyiwei commander made this position, and Emperor Chongzhen appointed Luo, who inherited his father's legacy.

Cultivate your character to inherit.

During Luo Yangxing's tenure, Jinyiwei actually caused trouble for Haihan. It began to dispatch intelligence personnel to the Sanya area many years ago. Li Qingyang, who now serves as the counterintelligence director in the Haihan Security Department, was captured when he came to Sanya.

He chose to join Haihan and continue to work in his old profession. The Haihan Security Department and the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, with winners and losers, but generally speaking, Haihan has the upper hand, and with the rise of Haihan in recent years,

As the country's national power becomes stronger and stronger, Jinyiwei is no longer willing to waste resources and manpower to continue fighting with Haihan.

Luo Yangxing's nephew sent people to Ningbo to cause trouble. Was this his personal intention or was there Luo Yangxing's instructions? The person who provided information to Qu Yutong did not specify it. But Qu Yutong knew that his current position was being used by many

People secretly coveted him, so he had to prepare for the worst first. So when it came to dealing with the Jinyiwei headed by Deng Qing, Qu Yutong overturned his previous plan to get rid of these people with the help of Haihan.

The idea was to leave room for them and just deport them.

Although his movements were slightly slower and Lin Xing had already killed one of the Jinyi guards, this did not affect Qu Yutong's intention to express his stance. It could even express another meaning - I can

Let the Haihan people kill these Jin Yiwei, but I still choose to release them, and only symbolically kill one of them as a warning. If this Qianhu surnamed Luo is very knowledgeable, he should stop it.

Of course, Shi Diwen came to Ningbo not specifically to deal with such a "little matter", but to say hello to Qu Yutong, because soon there will be a large force heading north to pass through Zhejiang, and there may even be a stopover in Dingbo.

The harbor rested for a few days. The whereabouts of these troops were military secrets, and Shi Diwen couldn't just send someone over to say hello and be done with it, so he chose to come to Ningbo in person and explain the situation to Qu Yutong, so as not to be discovered by the local government.

Suddenly a large number of Haihan troops arrived in Zhoushan, causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Compared with the combat mission that Haihan Army is about to go north to carry out, this small disturbance in Ningbo is really nothing. Even if the Jinyiwei really withholds all the food from outside Ningbo, it will not actually affect Haihan.

The battle plan has had too great an impact. Whether it is the procurement of food or other military supplies, Haihan has backup plans, but it will take more time to adjust.

Of course, Shi Diwen would not ignore the impact of this incident. After all, the little actions of these Jin Yiwei had made Qu Yutong a little uneasy. Whether it was public or private, Shi Diwen could not just sit back and watch.

This incident brought more negative impacts. Therefore, after meeting with Qu Yutong, he did not rush back to Zhoushan Island, but stayed in Ningbo City to wait for follow-up news.

Shi Diwen didn't think there was anything wrong with the fact that Lin Xing brought the men of Golden Shield Escort to find Jin Yiwei to bring bad luck. He handed over the management of Golden Shield Escort in Zhejiang to Lin Xing, so he naturally believed that

Lin Xing's judgment when dealing with emergencies. Of course, there are certain restrictions on the actions that Lin Xing can currently direct and the manpower he can mobilize. If it is a more important task, Shi Diwen will still hand it over to the Ministry of Security or the Military.

Let your professionals handle it.

This is mainly because Lin Xing has not received relatively advanced military training and lacks experience in commanding large-scale or highly professional operations. Shi Diwen is still somewhat uneasy. But this time Lin Xing took people there

After tidying up Jin Yiwei and being able to stop in time afterwards, Shi Diwen was basically satisfied with his performance, so he was still in the mood to share with him the ins and outs behind the incident.

When Lin Xing heard that this matter might involve the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he was secretly a little frightened. If the Jin Yiwei Baihu he dealt with before was still a tangible target, then the commander of the Jin Yiwei was probably a legend.

However, since the main target of the Jinyiwei is the prefect Qu Yutong, it means that this is an internal strife in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Haihan is not the primary target, but it may become a prop for officials to fight for power.

Although Lin Xing was a Han Chinese born in the Ming Dynasty, the three brothers had been begging for food at sea since childhood and had never been involved in officialdom. They did not have a deep understanding of the things within the Ming Dynasty system. Since their superiors did not indicate that they would continue to travel here,

If the situation is muddy, then there is no need for him to regret his previous half-measured actions.

Shi Diwen continued: "Prefect Qu wants to calm down the matter. If Jin Yiwei stops here, then for his sake, let it go. But if something similar happens next time, and the article is done, we

Haihan, then you can handle it on your own without asking me for instructions. Especially in the near future, if anyone wants to make a fuss about the military supplies we purchased, they will be treated as hostile acts."

Lin Xing quickly bowed his head and agreed, thinking that his boss was worthy of being a general leading troops in war, but he was not as indecisive as Magistrate Qu. He was afraid of causing trouble and could not end it. If such a situation happened again, even if the magistrate's Yamen sent people again

To dissuade him, he would have to kill him first and then punish him later.

"The army from Sanya will arrive in Zhoushan in a few days. Before then, the procurement of various military supplies must be completed. Which items need to be escorted by Jindun? You should make arrangements early and don't delay the business.

." Shi Diwen warned again.

Lin Xing responded: "Please rest assured, chief, that I have communicated with all parties regarding the delivery of various military supplies and there will be no delays due to transportation issues."

Regarding the military supplies purchased locally in Zhejiang this time, Lin Xing had already seen the list. In fact, it was not difficult to guess the size of the troops dispatched by Haihan from the list. He had been working as a corpsman for Haihan for several years, and he could tell at a glance that this was the case.

This scale is not an ordinary troop defense change. If it is just passing through Zhejiang, then war will probably break out in the north in the near future.
