1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Hangzhou, which has a history of thousands of years, has long been the most prosperous big city in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, even without the addition of the title of Haihan Future Capital.Whether it is a settled population or a floating population, the scale of Hangzhou is far above that of Sanya.

In such a large city with tens of thousands of people, it is no less difficult to track down and arrest several target persons whose appearance and characteristics are not clear.

Don't say before tomorrow, even if you give two or three more days, you may not be able to complete such a difficult task.

The only way to slightly improve the efficiency of the search and arrest is probably to seal off the city immediately.

Not only must all water and land passages in and out of the city be closed, but also the movement of people in the city must be suspended, and then searched from house to house, perhaps in order to screen out the whereabouts of these assassins in the shortest possible time.

"Lord Dai, if you want to seal the city and arrest people, what do you say?" Gong Shiqi asked Dai Chengrong who had rushed over.

The Ministry of Security has limited manpower, and they are all in plain clothes. Even the previous roundup of suspects required the city defense army to send people to help block the block, let alone carry out the task of closing the city.

According to Wang Yuan's confession, he was able to transport those boxes into the city precisely because of the negligence of the city defense army during the inspection.Obviously, such an important task as sealing off the city and arresting people cannot be entrusted to the city defense army.

Dai Chengrong's Second Regiment of the Seventh Army Division is a serious combat force, and it is also the garrison that Shi Diwen prepared for Hangzhou after the capital was established. The quality of the soldiers must be more reliable than the city defense army that is only responsible for daily security.

The most important thing is that this troop is stationed just outside the city of Hangzhou, and it can be mobilized the fastest. As long as an order is issued, the troop can move into the city within an hour.If you want to seal off the city and arrest people right now, you cannot do without the assistance of the team leader Dai Chengrong.

But Dai Chengrong obviously still has doubts about Gong Shiqi's action plan: "Master Gong, closing the city is not a trivial matter. Once the city is closed, the entire city will stop functioning. This is not a small county, but a city of several 10 people." Dacheng, it’s not a time of war, how can we just seal it off?”

"In addition, before our department carries out any armed operations, it must first obtain a clear order from the East China Sea Region Combat Command. Otherwise, I ordered the troops to seal the city without permission. In the eyes of others, how is this different from rebellion?"

Of course Gong Shiqi also understood Dai Chengrong's concerns, nodded and said: "Then please send a telegram to Master Shi immediately, Master Dai. If this matter is delayed for a moment, there will be more risks. I hope Master Dai will consider the stakes. clear."

Although the Ministry of Security is a privileged department, it has no affiliation with the Haihan Army, let alone direct the actions of the Haihan Army.In fact, Gong Shiqi's words were suspected of crossing the line. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't listen to his opinion at all.

However, Dai Chengrong and Gong Shiqi had known each other for many years, so this face must be given.Seriously speaking, Gong Shiqi can be regarded as one of the guides who led Dai Chengrong to join the Haihan Army.

Twenty years ago, Gong Shiqi and Ji Yuanqing went to Yangzhou to deal with the struggle between the local salt merchant factions. Dai Chengrong, who was a son of the salt merchant, got acquainted with them at that time. He joined the Haihan Army under his recommendation.

Dai Chengrong said these words clearly, but he was actually helping Gong Shiqi. As long as the military did not object to this matter, it would be much less difficult to implement it.

The person in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau saw Gong Shiqi looking at him, and immediately expressed his attitude: "If you want to seal the city, I also need to ask your superiors for instructions. Please forgive me, Lord Gong!"

Gong Shiqi frowned and said, "When will Ji Yuanqing be here?"

The man replied: "Master Ji has set off from Zhoushan early this morning, and is expected to arrive in Hangzhou tonight at the earliest."

Gong Shiqi snorted, dissatisfied with the attitude of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

When he met Ji Yuanqing in Zhoushan earlier, he had already emphasized the importance of the Zhu Zhongyun case, but at that time Ji Yuanqing said that the information at hand was limited, and the Military Intelligence Bureau could not conduct an in-depth investigation of the case.

And Gong Shiqi had only been in Hangzhou for more than a day, and he had already found Zhu Zhongyun's trace.Although there was some element of luck involved in the investigation of Wang Yuan's clue, it also shows that as long as you are willing to calm down and investigate carefully, you will never find nothing.

If the Military Intelligence Bureau could have paid sufficient attention to this case from the very beginning, and used enough resources to investigate, perhaps Zhu Zhongyun would not have had the opportunity to carry out these follow-up actions in Hangzhou, so that this case would not be dragged down to the current level. An unmanageable situation.

If the action of the Military Intelligence Bureau had to wait until Ji Yuanqing arrived, it would have to be delayed for half a day.Put it on the battlefield, this is delaying the fighter.

Taking advantage of the presence of people from various local yamen, Gong Shiqi asked everyone to quickly make a total sum. If the city is to be closed next, how should all parties cooperate to minimize the negative impact of this case as much as possible.

To ban a big city like Hangzhou, the sentiment of the local people must be considered.

Of course, the government can use reasons such as investigating serious cases and arresting fugitives to seal the city, but if the arrest process is not smooth and the task cannot be completed overnight, then how to deal with it.

And once the city is closed, the suspects hiding in the city will definitely receive news.After scaring the snake out of the grass, it is not easy to catch people in the form of surprise arrest just now.

More likely, investigators will run into armed gangsters somewhere in the city, and a ferocious fight will ensue.

For example, the field team of the Ministry of Security is only equipped with a revolver as the main weapon. If they want to fight against gangsters with rifles, they will definitely suffer in terms of firepower.

After the fight starts at that time, no one can guarantee how many casualties will occur, and innocent people may be implicated.

If the case is still not closed before tomorrow morning, then it is necessary to consider whether the schedule of the Executive Committee should be rescheduled.

According to the original plan, after the executive committee arrives in Hangzhou by boat, they will openly enter the city from the east of the city and accept the warm welcome of the local people.

Although Hangzhou has prepared a grand welcome ceremony for this, it is very likely that it will become a place for gangsters to launch attacks.

Considering the personal safety of senior officials, it may be the most appropriate way to cancel the welcome ceremony and arrange for the executive committee to directly stay in the guest house by the West Lake.

But Gong Shiqi was still worried that the Executive Committee would not accept such an arrangement.

This is a rare group trip for the Executive Committee in recent years, and it is the first time to visit the future capital, and it is also here to celebrate the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.Such a beautiful itinerary, how could it be possible to cancel the most important welcome part directly because of a few thieves making trouble.
