And without waiting for the two of them to dry in a cold sweat, Tom Wang's next words made their hearts beat wildly, and they secretly called for luck.

Wang Tom said: "Since the two adults have been honest with each other, then I will also tell the truth." Originally, we thought that if the two adults were confused by these bad people, and we would not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, then when the time came, we probably wouldn't have the extra energy to protect the safety of the two adults, and maybe there would be some accidents that everyone didn't want to see. However, in the report to the imperial court afterwards, we will truthfully write how the two lords died in order to protect the safety of the people of Danzhou and fought bravely against the remnants of the pirates, and the imperial court should also posthumously award some rewards to the two lords......"

It's so dangerous!

Yan Mingjun secretly sighed in his heart, if it weren't for Li Jin's insistence today, he might really follow Huang Zixing all the way to the dark, and when the time comes, not to mention the failure of the matter, he probably doesn't even know how he died. Not only have the Haihan people arranged the means to hunt down the assassins, but they have even arranged the cause of their own and Li Jin's deaths! Huang Zixing and his gang will all be beaten with the nameplate of the remnants of the pirates, and the Haihan people will kill them with confidence, and by the way, they can also reasonably remove the two stumbling blocks of themselves and Li Jin, so that the Ming court has no way to hold them accountable, and can only admit their accounts with their eyes closed.

As for the obituary of the Guangdong government, it will probably take several months to select the next alternate official, and this is enough for the Haihan people to further consolidate their ruling base in Danzhou. Even if Haihan was willing to let Daming send alternate magistrates again, the treatment that these people would get after arriving in Danzhou would probably only be worse than Yan Mingjun and Li Jin.

Seeing that these Haihan people in front of him all looked relaxed, Yan Mingjun suddenly felt that they might not have worried about anyone making trouble in Danzhou at all, but were waiting for such an opportunity to do a big cleaning of those unstable factors hidden in the people. They had known about the plot of Huang Zixing and his gang for a long time, but they had been holding their ground, just waiting for more people to expose themselves. And he and Li Jin were involved in this matter, and for the Haihan people, they had no scruples at all, they just charged two more lives when they started.

The two of them listened to Tom Wang's briefing with dead faces, and they had no restless thoughts in their hearts except for secretly calling for luck. If there was a chance to do it all over again, Yan Mingjun would probably not be able to meet the mildew star surnamed Huang if he was killed.

Zhang Xin took over the conversation and said: "The two adults are well aware of the righteousness, and take the initiative to expose the actions of these lawbreakers, and we will also write this in the report to the court afterwards." ”

Yan Mingjun said in his heart that your procedure is not right, I am the governor of Danzhou sitting here, even if I want to report to the court afterwards, I will write it, why is it you who are responsible. But he muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask directly, so he could only nod his head again and again.

Zhang Xin continued: "That Huang Zixing has been trying to drag the two adults into the water, presumably he is also constantly passing on news to you through some channel, right?"

Yan Mingjun hesitated: "This ......"

"Lord Yan, we all know what you know, and we also know what you don't know. So if you want to hide the situation from us now, in the end it will be detrimental to your own safety. Lin Nan saw that he was hesitant, so he opened his mouth to "consol" two sentences.

Under the attack of half persuasion and half intimidation, Yan Mingjun, who had never encountered such a battle, did not persist for too long under Haihan's inducement methods, and finally vomited out what he knew.

Lin Nan and Wang Tom questioned Li Jin and Yan Mingjun respectively, and Li Qingyang and Wang Baisuo next to them made transcription records, during which they also conducted cross-examination. It took two hours, until several people thought that there was nothing missing, and then they asked Yan Mingjun and Li Jin to go back.

"The information they gave is basically consistent with what we have investigated. Wang Tom rubbed his somewhat sore neck and said to Zhang Xinjie: "At present, Huang Zixing mainly keeps in touch with Yan Mingjun by sending people to pass on messages, and the people who pass on messages are disguised as vegetable vendors in and out of the backyard of the state government. Although they have certain counter-reconnaissance methods, these situations are also under the control of the Ministry of Security. They had already set the time and means to do it, but they did not inform Yan Mingjun of the specific arrangements, probably because they were afraid of leaking the news in advance. ”

Zhang Xinying said: "With you here, I can rest assured, and this more than 100 catties will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry, I'll stay with you then. Tom Wang patted the pistol inserted in the side of his thigh and said, "My MK23 is already hungry and thirsty!"

Zhang Xin nodded and said: "But speaking of which, these two Ming officials are really lucky, if Li Jin hadn't changed his attitude, this Yan Mingjun would probably really go all the way to the dark." After this incident, they probably won't be able to think of going against us anymore. ”

Wang Tom pointed to Yu Tiezhu, who had been standing next to him, and said, "This credit lies on the lieutenant's head, he has worked Li Jin these days." ”

When Li Jin first arrived in Danzhou, he hit nails one after another at the Baimajing Wharf and the Danzhou military camp, and the only few of his men were beaten and injured. However, Li Jin is also a relatively pure soldier, although he is unhappy, he will not look down on the strength of the Haihan militia, especially after seeing the display of the militia's maritime combat power on the way to Danzhou by boat, his interest in the Haihan militia is even greater.

Although the militia stationed in Danzhou City is stationed in the city, because the area is too small, the training of the militia has always been arranged outside the city. And in order to deter the small people, the militia training has always been carried out openly, allowing local people to watch in an orderly manner in the vicinity. After Li Jin took office, he was idle, so he naturally went to see the excitement -- of course, the main purpose was to further explore the true strength of the Haihan militia.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, Li Jin himself was also a general with troops, and at a glance, he could immediately see the similarities and differences between the Haihan militia and the Ming army. The basic training content of the Haihan militia is the march of the queue, and this set of things is not unfamiliar to Li Jin, because the Ming army not only has to practice these things, but the evolution of the queue is far more complicated than the square formation of the Haihan militia.

But Li Jin only watched half a day of training, and basically determined that the Haihan militia regiment's marching tactics were better than the Ming army, the reason was very simple, the proportion of the Haihan militia equipped with firearms was much higher than that of the Ming army, and because their firearms were more advanced, the loading and firing speed was much faster than that of the Ming army, so the same number of musketeers, the combat effectiveness of the Haihan militia could reach almost three to four times that of the Ming army.

According to the results of the Haihan militia group's live-fire exercise, the range of the guns it is equipped with is almost one-third farther than that of the weapons of the Ming army, and under such a huge advantage, the Haihan militia does not need to practice complex queue changes, as long as it maintains a basic formation and keeps firing bullets in the direction of the enemy. Under such a dense firepower, Li Jin thought that he would have to invest at least 10 times as many troops, and that he would not retreat in a desperate battle, so that he could hope to rush through the effective range of the Haihan guns with lead bullets -- this was of course only a conclusion reached by the Haihan militia on the premise that they did not use artillery fire, and after Li Jin saw the amazing effect of the militia using the guns loaded with scattered shells to bombard targets 30 zhang away, he thought that even with 10 times the number of troops, it would probably be difficult to cross this hellish range.

However, after watching the bayonet combat training of the Haihan militia, Li Jin also felt hopeless about close combat. The Haihan militia can arm all the musketeers into spearmen in a very short time in close combat, and the body of the gun is more than five feet long and the sharp bayonet is two feet long, which is enough to exert great lethality in close combat. And the well-trained Haihan militia soldiers will quickly fight with three people as a group to fight the target, Li Jin looked at it for a while and knew that the fighting movements of these soldiers were all pointed by the high fingers, and every blow was pointed at the vital point, and the cooperation of the three people was also very orderly, even if he faced such three iron guns, it was difficult to parry the opponent's continuous poking and killing actions.

If the Haihan militia only had a group of musketeers, then Li Jin was not particularly afraid, after all, if there were not enough guns, they could still be cannonballed, and there were a lot of artillery in the Ming army. However, the number of artillery of the Haihan militia is obviously more, and Danzhou is such a small place, and it is actually equipped with twelve field artillery, although they are all small-caliber guns, but the accuracy of their shooting targets in the exercise makes Li Jin secretly stunned. In addition, the Haihan people already had a small-scale cavalry, although the so-called cavalry stationed in Danzhou was only about twenty horses, but the appearance of this high-level army was enough to make Li Jin's heart tremble, not to mention that the weapons of these cavalry in addition to the rifle sabre, there was also a short and coarse firearm that could fire scattered bullets, which was enough for them to gain an advantage in close combat.

Li Jin came to the conclusion after watching the three-day drill that if the Ming army wanted to defeat the Haihan militia on the frontal battlefield, it could probably only use a large army equipped with a large number of cavalry and absolutely superior forces to surround the opponent until the opponent ran out of ammunition and food. Li Jin himself knew that this theoretical method of victory was unlikely to be realized, especially on Qiongzhou Island, where the Haihan people had already achieved a clear advantage, the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to mobilize an armed force of more than 1,000 people, and it was estimated that even the militia soldiers in Danzhou could not deal with it.

In the southern part of Qiongzhou Island, it is said that it has completely become a happy land for the Haihan people, and the strength of the Haihan militia is far stronger than that in the north. Before Li Jin came to Danzhou, he also imagined whether the Ming Dynasty could recover Qiongzhou Island by military means, but after seeing the strength of the Haihan militia, he had to admit that his previous ideas were too simple, and the price that the Ming needed to pay to defeat these Haihan people was estimated to be not much easier than on the northern battlefield.

Li Jin watched among the people outside the training ground for several days, and he had already been noticed by the military. After Yu Tiezhu asked his superiors, he simply invited Li to come in and watch. Although Li Jin was a little surprised by this sudden treatment, in order to be able to better grasp the situation of the Haihan militia, he still chose to accept it. In the days that followed, as long as the Haihan militia went out for training, Li Jin would inevitably be present to watch, and Yu Tiezhu would take the trouble to explain all kinds of doubts to him.

Yu Tiezhu is not worried that the strengths of the Haihan militia will be stolen by Li Jin, all he can see now is the results of training, and the supporting measures hidden behind it, such as weapon design and production, training plan formulation, logistics supply support, command and combat system, etc., are not things that can be learned after a few glances. With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, even if he knows the method, it is difficult to copy the set of things of the Haihan People's League in the same way.

On the contrary, the more Li Jin learned, the clearer he understood the gap in strength between the two armies, and the strength of not admitting defeat when he first came to Danzhou became more and more diluted. Of course, the consciousness instilled in him by Yu Tiezhu during this period was not limited to the military aspect, among the Ming civil servants who were persuaded by the Haihan side to surrender and subdued, military personnel accounted for the majority, so naturally Yu Tiezhu would not let go of the opportunity to brainwash Li Jin.

When Yan Mingjun conceived the situation after Danzhou returned to the Ming Dynasty in Fuzhong, Li Jin was brainwashed by Yu Tiezhu on the playground of the Haihan Militia Group. Yan Mingjun thought that the assassination of Huang Zixing and his gang could save Danzhou, but Li Jin saw at a glance that there was no possibility of success in this matter, even if he could kill one or two Haihan leaders, the evil consequences of this matter would far exceed Yan Mingjun's expectations, as for the goal of recovering Danzhou and even Qiongzhou Island, Li Jin thought that Yan Mingjun was purely thinking too much.

Fortunately, Yan Mingjun finally obeyed Li Jin's advice and chose to protect himself, otherwise when the East Window incident happened, Li Jin might still have hope to save his life, but Yan Mingjun would inevitably be unfortunately "sacrificed" because of his courage to kill the thief. And the whistleblowing of these two people is not completely worthless, at least the progress of the preparations that Huang Zixing reported to Yan Mingjun is the news that the Ministry of Security cannot hear. With this useful information, the deployment of the Ministry of Security and the military to the rebels can be more targeted.

In the next few days, Danzhou, which seemed to be calm, was surging with undercurrents, and groups of people with different purposes, dressed up as different identities, sneaked into Danzhou City. Yan Mingjun knew that there would be a bloody storm in Danzhou in the near future, so he simply didn't even go out. However, Li Jin still went his own way, and from time to time went to the Haihan militia to discuss military affairs with Yu Tiezhu and others.
