Chapter 1127: Wood

The middle-aged man with a scorched yellow face was sweating profusely by Zhao Lide, and their military intelligence personnel were most taboo about the distrust of their superiors, including character and ability, no matter which aspect was suspected by the boss, it would seriously affect his future, but the matter was important, this military intelligence officer still stubbornly said: "Those three guys are too obvious, the subordinates mean to leave it alone, anyway, there is nothing to hide on Phi Island, and Mao Wenlong will not care too much." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAs for the adult's suspicion of the secret hand, the subordinates thought, this secret hand should be arranged to investigate our recent movements in Kuandian, so if there is a chance, this secret hand should try to go to the Kuandian area, so that he can check and get information on the spot, otherwise he will try his best to run over, wouldn't it be in vain? ”

Zhao Lide listened with his eyes half-closed, and many military intelligence personnel spread out and waited for him to speak, everyone was very afraid of this former military intelligence officer from Jinyiwei, his mind was smart and meticulous, almost never made mistakes, and there were more frightening things under the surface of kindness.

After half a ring, Zhao Lide's eyes opened, and he said to the middle-aged man: "It's quite thoughtful, but there is no specific direction yet, isn't it?" ”

The middle-aged man said ashamedly: "There is no specific direction, so the subordinates plan to use one person and a three-person team to monitor day and night." ”

"It doesn't have to be so much trouble." Zhao Lide said with a smile: "What are the merchants doing in Kuandian, buying wood like us?" I can't find an excuse, so I won't use this identity. In the same way, the guys they brought with them would only stay on Phi Island and would not have the opportunity to move around. There's only one identity to want to move around, don't you think of it? ”

The middle-aged man said thoughtfully: "What do you mean, the official? ”

"That's right!" Zhao Lide nodded and said, "You haven't been stupid yet, you finally thought of it." The identity of the official, you can use it as an official business, and you can go to Kuandian in the name of verification, and you can see a lot of things along the way. This secret is quite important, the incubation time must have been several years, and it is a means of bribery or threats, these days you will keep an eye on the officials, especially the kind of people who have stayed in the area of Beijing a few years ago, focus on the investigation, once there is a task to go to Kuandian, then it is basically confirmed that its detailed identity! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone is happy to surrender to Zhao Lide, and even bow down, this military intelligence officer, see things clearly, make decisions, and understand analysis, is really far above ordinary people, but it is a pity that such a talent, in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, is just an ordinary Jinyi Wei Baihu official, was sent to a place of death like Guangning, with the Cang ambassador's officials and miscellaneous duties, in fact, after Wanli, Jinyiwei rarely sent people to other places at all, almost cowered in the Beijing Division, and the sense of existence was quite low, The so-called brocade guards traveled all over the world to collect intelligence and collect anti-thieves, which is just the fantasy of future generations.

The crowd stopped talking, and only watched intently at the people who came down from the boat.

The merchants and their attachés went down first, tall, short, fat and thin, with calm expressions, some eager, and some people with some trepidation, after all, in a place like Phi Dao, the existing rules and experience of the Ming Dynasty could not be regarded as completely useful, angering the generals on the island, and no one could say anything if they were killed and sunk into the sea.

The members of the attaché looked much more relaxed, and the men were generally very young, and they carried all kinds of things with them, including silver taels, and walked off the ship with the proprietor.

Zhao Lide paid attention to the three suspicious guys under the guidance of his subordinates, and sure enough, he saw that they looked a little nervous, and their eyes seemed to be looking ahead, but they always couldn't help but glance around.

This is obvious, these three are not only mostly fine-grained, but also mostly laymen, and they are rookies who have just been doing fine-working for a long time.

Then the officials who came from Dengzhou got off the boat, saying that they were officials, but in fact they were also officials, most of them were miscellaneous positions of the eighth or ninth ranks, otherwise they would not have been sent out to run errands.

There are some Zhengyin officials who want to be the supervisor of the army on Phi Island, but Mao Wenlong shows a lot of disgust for the civilian officials, so there has been no civilian supervisor on Phi Island, and the general ones who come over are the miscellaneous officials and officials, mainly to transport materials and carry out some simple verification work, and there are more officials who come in, because although the Emperor of the Apocalypse has repeatedly sent internal money to Dongjiang, the shortage of silver in Dongjiang Town is still quite serious, whether it is the true color of the fold is very lacking, and the imperial court has passed the most difficult stage. The annual income of 10 million silver has been invested in Liao affairs, and there have been rumors recently that the imperial court intends to verify the number of Dongjiang soldiers and cantonment soldiers, and give Dongjiang its true colors and military salaries.

Of course, Dongjiang Town is quite welcoming to this matter, as can be seen from the fact that a thousand generals were ordered to take his subordinates to greet them in the port area...... None of the officials who came from Dengzhou in the past have enjoyed such treatment.

Zhao Lide stared at the officials who got off the boat, there was only one official, of course, there was no doubt about it, at this stage, there was no Ming civil official who would be crazy about secretly building a prisoner, and there were no suspicious characters among the officials, Zhao Lide took the eyes one after another, just to leave a deep impression.

He will not use his intuition to sense any suspiciousness, this is a preconceived idea, which will seriously affect judgment, and a qualified military intelligence officer will never make such a low-level mistake.

Only when the suspicious person shows his sights will he pounce on him like a hungry tiger, knocking his enemies over, knocking them down, and chewing them into pieces.

"My lord, there's a boat coming from the estuary."

"Oh, this is the third time this month."

When Zhao Lide came over, he saw the fleet of ships down the river, of course, all small boats, the wood was pulled by rafts or small boats, several large merchant ships were moored in the port area and waited, these ships were specially left to wait for the loading of wood, including the Xinpingbao, which could take away hundreds of large logs at a time.

The people of the island saw the spectacle before them, countless men of the Twelve Regiments stood on rafts and boats, driving a large number of huge logs down the river with long poles and iron hooks, and behind them were endless fleets of boats and rafts, and there was almost no end in sight.

The people on Phi Island laughed and said, "These fools have come here with big trees again." ”

"It's interesting." There was a Dongjiang Qian general manager said coldly: "I thought that Hutchison was going to do something big here, and he was ambitious, but it turned out to be a bunch of wood cutters." ”

"In the past six months, they have cut down no less than 2,000 giant trees."

Someone affirmed: "In the past six months, they have not done anything, and all the manpower is looking for giant trees everywhere except for daily training and farming." ”

Someone laughed and said: "We have a radius of thousands of miles in this area of Kuandian, and there is nothing else, but there is wood." ”

"Ordinary wood, such as pine, is easy to find, even if several people hug each other, there may be dozens of pieces on a mountain. But oak wood is hard to find, and their main energy is used to find oak wood. ”

"What a throwing of silver into the sea." A smart man said with a wit.

When everyone thought about it, it cost a huge amount of silver and various materials to cut down these big logs, and they were transported away to build ships, and sure enough, they threw silver into the sea.

The people from the Military Intelligence Department were not very happy to hear this, and looked at these people coldly.

The middle-aged man with a scorched yellow face said to Zhao Lide: "My lord, this scene has been watched by those Jianyu, does it matter?" ”

"Of course it doesn't matter, it's a good thing." Zhao Lide smiled: "Just let Jianyu know what we are doing when we send so many people deep into the mountains and old forests, so that they can rest assured." ”

"That's exactly what your lord said." The middle-aged man slapped his ass without a trace, bowed and retreated.

Zhao Lide ignored it, his eyes were still blazing ahead, the officials over there had all disembarked from the boat, and they were also observing the fleet and raft team coming from the direction of Jiangkou, and there was not much abnormality in the performance in front of him, but Zhao Lide was not discouraged, no matter what, there would always be a chance.

Around the personnel of the Military Intelligence Division, many porters who came and went had been waiting for a long time, and when all the people who were going to disembark came down, they began to step into the hull of the ship to carry the supplies that had been transported.

These merchant ships are the lifeline of Phi Island, the whole island almost does not grow grass and trees, the Han people can only grow some alfalfa and low vegetables, the sea breeze on the island is coming, and the crops with high poles can not be planted at all, the island was originally inhabited by Korean fishermen, when the Ming army first went to the beach, there were still many Korean islanders fishing on the beach, and then refugees and war people gradually became the residents of the island, this big island of 15 miles from north to south and 10 miles long from east to west was crowded with more than 100,000 people at most, you can imagine how bad the conditions are, If it weren't for the constant supply of food and other military supplies in Dengzhou in the past few years, at the beginning of Mao Wenlong's foothold, Hutchison was also a helper as much as possible, so the military and civilian losses on Phi Island were much smaller than the original historical time and space, otherwise, the number of deaths would have to be increased by at least 30%. History is written by the blood and tears of the people, but it is easy to ignore the big figures and future generations.

Most of the porters are Han people, and there are a small number of Koreans, most of the Korean fishermen have long since left, and some of the homeland is difficult to leave, and they no longer fish for a living, but carry work for Dongjiang Town, do some hard work, and put some nets and ducks, which can barely feed the family.

The entire trestle and port area, as well as the beach area that stretches for miles, are crowded with people coming and going, the Dongjiang town soldiers carrying spears, the islanders yawning and watching the excitement, and the porters running back and forth, the Dongjiang officials wearing green robes, the officers of Dongjiang town riding by, the entire beach is the blue endless sea, and above the beach is the endless silver beach, in later generations it is a picturesque beauty of the best resort, at this moment, it is people struggling to survive, A military base used to counter-attack alien invaders.
