Chapter 388

In addition to revising legal provisions, it is also a big project to simply copy legal documents-this is something that ordinary people can't do.We have to work for these "unorganized" people.

"No problem! You go on the road like this, the brothers will definitely help!" Several people immediately agreed.

"However, we have dispatch work during the day, so we have to come to work at night.

"I'll go to Wu De and ask him to 'secondment' you all to me for a few days."

Wu De is in favor of the judicial system, and should not refuse this kind of secondment.If this secondment procedure is not done, not only is the work of this group of people voluntary, but they also have to do it outside of working hours.

Everyone is happy to be able to get rid of a few days of boring work and do something in their own business.

Vest took a big gulp of kvass, everyone in the law club seemed to be in good spirits.This is a good sign.Now is the era of engineers ruling the country, and in the future, like the United States, it may be the era of lawyers ruling the country...

After the meeting, Vest made a report to Wu De, requesting that these people be "assigned" to work in the maritime court, and then sent an application to Xiao Zishan, asking for some office expenses - used to purchase work Drinks and enjoyment items such as cigarettes.

Xiao Zishan was very generous, not only immediately wrote him the appropriation slip, but also issued him a special purchase certificate, allowing him to purchase some additional "special supplies".

In the past, the special supplies were mainly consumer goods that were not produced in this time and space, mainly various foods: including cola, cigarettes, instant noodles, canned food, etc., as well as daily necessities and medicines such as toilet water, essential oils, towels, and ten drops of water.These things are mainly supplied to time-travelers engaged in "heavy physical strength" and "dangerous work", and sometimes they are also distributed as prizes to individuals who have received commendations.

What's on this special is changing as supplies improve and stocks dwindle.Some items were removed - like cigarettes, cola and instant noodles.There are also additions. The biggest change is that the products produced by local industries have increased.In fact, there are many items that are not considered "advanced", but due to production capacity issues, the supply cannot be opened.For example, the cold storage on the Fengcheng Wheel makes several kinds of popsicles. Although the raw materials are only fruits, mung beans, red beans, sugar, and filtered water, they are supplied on a per-person basis. branch. An additional bottle is provided for children under 13 years of age.

The vest looked at the items on the special purchase certificate: "Leizhou Sugar Industry" rum (750ml), one bottle per day; Lingao brand cigarettes, one pack of 10 sticks per person per day; although there are only two things , but the reflected signal is quite intriguing.

"It seems that there are quite a few people in the executive committee who are optimistic about us." Vest said to himself.

Only he clearly realized why there was such a wonderful difference in the attitudes of the members of the Executive Committee.

"It's been almost a year since I landed." The vest murmured and stuffed the list into his pocket.

A group of people in the Law Club were busy with the five-masted ship's pirate case, but a visitor came to the museum.

This person came to Bopu on a small fishing boat. According to the latest state of emergency, all boats arriving at Lingao-Xuwenyang will be subject to random inspection.When the sailors boarded the ship for inspection, the visitor lied that he was a merchant selling rice in Lingao—the ship was indeed full of grain.After landing, he revealed his identity to the naval officer who was on duty at the dock: he was the emissary of Zhu Cailao.Shi Shishi, the small pirate leader who was captured in Zhucailao's "fishing" battle last year.

At that time, Ma Qianju let him go back to negotiate peace with Mr. Zhucai.But there was no news of this person.Since then, Zhu Cailao didn't often come to the sea near Qiongzhou for activities.The peace talks were shelved.

As soon as Shi Shishi arrived at Bopu, he asked to see "Chief Ma", and he brought with him a request for peace talks and a letter from the elders.

In the letter, Mr. Zhucai spoke very hard, expressing that he was willing to negotiate peace with the "Australians", but the Australian group must compensate him for all the losses in Lingao because of the destruction of the Gou family - he proposed to the Crossing Group to sell glass exports Not interested in trading patent rights as a compensation thing.He directly asked the Travel Group to take [-] Spanish silver as compensation, and at the same time give him the same amount of silver as a loan, and he can pay [-]% monthly interest on the loan.In addition, he also asked the crossing group to provide artillery and gunpowder by name, and if possible, it would be best to build some ships for him.These he can buy with cash or goods.

Although the tone of the letter is very strong, it seems that "adults don't care about villains" and "call the door immediately if you don't agree", but after studying it over and over again for a long time, Ma Qianju felt that the letter was a bit harsh and internal. .Elder Zhu Cai's tone of urgent need for money, weapons, and ships clearly revealed that he was in urgent need of support.

"If we have the strength now and set up an offshore black water company to make soy sauce, Zheng Zhilong will have a headache." Said Chen Haiyang, who was studying the letter together.

"If we had this strength, we would have wiped him out long ago, and taken his ship and people." Ma Qianzhu held the letter, and was really determined not to let it go. "We still have too little information." He said sadly.

In addition to the intelligence committee looking for a few words in the history books in the pile of old papers, the information on the pirate group that the crossing group can obtain basically comes from the information collected by the Guangzhou station in various places along the coast of Guangdong. The news in the pond newspapers that came out of the majestic governor of Guangdong, the inspector, and the governor’s office in the Ming Dynasty was also chaotic. A major pirate leader often had several different names. Yu Eshui had already made a list of duplicate names to prevent new After the information comes, we have to check the books.

Ma Qianzhu didn't know that Zhu Cai's life had been very difficult in the past year.His two northern and southern fleets, the northern fleet that was originally operating in the sea of ​​Fujian, has been disintegrated under the joint encirclement and suppression of the Ming army and Zheng Zhilong.At this juncture, the "Australian" who came out of nowhere beat him with a sap--Gou's family was his biggest dealer and hiding place, this loss was enough to make him vomit blood, and the sudden loss of money The nervousness made the salary source very embarrassing, and the subordinates were seriously unstable.Immediately scattered part of the people and boats.It's not that Zhu Cai didn't want to go to Lingao to avenge and regain his property, but the situation at sea was complicated, and Liu Xiang's squeeze made him have to deal with this suddenly rising junior first.After failing to grab the ship, he led the Southern Fleet to go north to Fujian, hoping to gain enough profits in Fujian to rebuild the fleet. At that time, the foreign trade of Fujian Ocean was extremely prosperous. The Dutch trade in Hong Kong is a lucrative business.

After arriving in the ocean of Fujian, they collected a lot of disintegrated ships, robbed and attacked several land targets, supplemented their food and salaries, and Zhu Cailao's momentum recovered.But Zheng Zhilong had long regarded all maritime trade in Fujian as forbidden, so he would naturally not welcome Zhu Cailao's arrival.Li Kuiqi was even more dissatisfied with his taking advantage of the fire, and conflicts continued between all parties in the ocean of Fujian.Zhucai Lao's economic situation is relatively poor, and he gradually loses the upper hand in the battle.

Under this situation, Zhu Cailao planned to return to Eastern Guangdong, but Liu Xiang, who had already established a firm foothold in Eastern Guangdong, did not want him to come back.The first batch of returning ships was intercepted by Liu Xiang's fleet at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong. The two sides fought a battle. Although there was no winner, Zhu Cai's passive situation did not get any relief.

"You've been exhausted all the way, go down and rest first." Ma Qianju said kindly, and then ordered someone to take him to the shop in Dongmen City to stay.As for his subordinates and the sailors on board, they are arranged to live in the Sailor Inn in Bopu.

The executive committee immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the terms of the peace talks between Zhu Cailao.It's really not that harsh.The booty they got from the Gou family definitely exceeded [-] Spanish silver dollars, and the loan he proposed was also willing to pay interest.

"Old Zhucai won't live long." Yu Eshui said, "It's worthless to talk to him now, unless you plan to form an alliance with him."

Historically, the veteran Zhu Cai was defeated by Zheng Zhilong when he attacked Min'an in August this year, and then he was wiped out by the whole army in Nanri.

Apparently, the main question that the Time Traveling Group wants to discuss is: Do we want to change the history and save the old Zhucai Group?

Some people are in favor. The existence of the Zhucai old group can contain Zheng Zhilong after all, and at the same time contain the Liuxiang Group in a disguised form.From the perspective of the Traversing Group, the more forces and chaos on the sea, the better. In terms of the maritime power of the Traversing Group, it is not a problem to protect its trade and shipping to Guangdong in the chaos, but it is not a problem to fight a large-scale decisive battle at sea. Still not strong enough.

Another part of the people think that it is unnecessary to save the old Cai Group.First of all, they are still unable to annex this maritime force, and secondly, once they reach an agreement with him, they may assume more and more responsibilities.This is what the time travel group is very unwilling to see.

Wen Desi is not interested in the alliance.In his opinion, the investment in this matter is too large to be worthwhile.If you want to save the old Zhucai Group, you have to give him monetary support as he requested, and at the same time sell him weapons.It is a pity that neither of these time-travelers is very rich.Even if the amount can be negotiated, it is still a large sum.Besides, artillery and gunpowder are also urgently needed supplies for the crossing group itself.

"I believe that the amount proposed by Mr. Zhucai is by no means an exaggeration, but that he really needs so much money to operate the fleet. And this may be just the beginning."

Once you start investing in this business, it is likely to become a bottomless pit——If the situation of the old Zhucai Group does not improve with their support—this is very possible, and most of the members of the executive committee are not so arrogant He thinks that he can change the direction of history at will - even if he doesn't come to continue to ask for help, the Time Travel Group will have to continue to expand its betting capital in order to save its investment.This kind of thing often starts with a small amount of money to do big things, but in the end, more and more money is spent, and things get worse.Just look at how the Americans got stuck in Vietnam.

This so-called one moment and another moment.Ma Qianzhu thought to himself that when Sloubaining proposed the peace talks, it was to stabilize Zhucai Lao, to make some interest transfers without affecting the core interests, and to avoid or delay him from launching large-scale retaliation as much as possible. It is to allow the construction of Lingao to gain more time.

Zhu Cailao didn't play their cards when they were weakest. Whether it was the luck of the time travel group or Liu Xiang's restraint, anyway, the most critical period of time has passed.At this time, if he talks about peace with Elder Zhucai, his value is no longer great.If the historical information provided by Yu Eshui is accurate, Mr. Zhu Cai's life expectancy is less than two months, so what good will it do us to help him extend his life?

The biggest advantage is nothing more than keeping an extra force at sea to contain Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong.

However, as the Intelligence Committee deepened its research on this period of history, Yu Eshui made a bold prediction, believing that the chaos on the Fujian-Guangdong Sea will continue for a long time at least in three to four years. After all, in history, Zheng Zhilong killed Liu It will be the eighth year of Chongzhen.One more Zhucai old and one Zhucai old will have little effect on the traverser.Perhaps it would be better to hang up with Zhu Cai, who has already formally formed a bond with the traverser.

At this time, Yu Eshui was speaking: "...Everyone, it is the end of June in 1629 in the Gregorian calendar. In less than a month, Zhu Cailao will be defeated by the Ming army in Min'an, Fujian, and then by the Nanri army. Zheng Zhilong's elimination—how are we going to influence him in the last month left?"

"Tell him not to attack Min'an, and don't go to Nanri when he escapes—"

"First, we don't know whether he will listen to our suggestions; second, we have very limited knowledge about the details of this period of history. Therefore, it is difficult to make an overall judgment. If he asks us instead, where will we fight if we don't fight Fujian? , who has the ability to come up with a strategy that is beneficial to both him and us?"

People really can't figure it out.

"So what we have to do is not to save him, but how to act as a vulture," Yu Eshui made an unsound but vivid metaphor, "...to get as much practical benefit as possible from his dead body."

The so-called actual benefits are not gold and silver treasures, but the personnel and ships of the Zhucai old group.What Chen Haiyang has always wanted.

The task of recruiting Zhucai's old subordinates fell to the Enemy Work Department of the General Political Security Administration, which was officially named "Rong Work".

Ran Yao summoned his secret weapon in the convened office of the Political Security Administration.

"Ask the Minister of Enemy Industry to come to the office."

"Yes, Chief." Hu Laixing, a teenage correspondent, touched his heels in a Prussian style, turned and ran out.The students of the military and political school who work as administrative trainees in the Political Security Administration are all bitter and hatred types, and they basically vote naked.Ran Yao's political review standards are even stricter than those of the executive committee: no relatives are allowed, and it is best not to remember his last name; it is best not to remember where his hometown is; Those who live are the best.Finally, a series of tests have to be passed, and any child who shows gluttony, restlessness, weakness, and loves to chat will be eliminated.

Lin Baiguang, head of the enemy industry department, walked in quickly.He used to be the deputy director of the county party committee office in a certain county. He had his own way of thinking about being an official, and he climbed to a very high position at a young age.But his aspirations are far greater than being a civil servant in a disgraced small county town.Ran Yao knew that this person was a typical Chinese bureaucrat, always with a smile on his face, always in a manner of speaking, commenting on everything to the point, drinking vigorously, never falling down; sometimes he treated others better than his own brothers Good; you can turn your face and deny anyone at any time.

Ran Yao also knew that this person had brought all the necessities with him on the boat, and there were dozens of cigarettes alone—but he had never smoked.Every time Ran Yao convened a meeting of the General Security Administration, there were one or two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes of unknown origin on the table, which should have been taken out by him.

The most suspicious thing is that he has a PDA that uses solar energy, and he often holds it at night to look around, and sometimes write something.No one knew what he was writing about.Ran Yao thought that it was absolutely impossible for him to be writing a novel, but he might be writing a diary or something.Maybe it's still a black book.

When Ran Yao was talking about work with Ma Qianju, Ma Qianju once said something inexplicably:

"Does any of you keep a diary?"

At that time, Ran Yao didn't realize what Duke Du was talking about, so he could only vaguely say no.Ma Qianju did not continue this topic.

Later, Wen Desi commented strangely to him in private: "Writing a diary is a good habit, comrades who have such a habit, you should pay more attention."

It took Ran Yao a month or two to realize what they were talking about.

How did they know that the Minister of Enemy Works had such a habit?Obviously, there are still people in the Political and Security Administration or the Internal Affairs Committee that he does not know who are directly reporting information to the leaders of the Executive Committee.

This deduction is not surprising to Ran Yao, who is used to public security work.Such a powerful department cannot be completely handed over to him alone.Just as he secretly installed the "ten-member group" in the army and navy.

However, Lin Baiguang's work ability is indeed very strong, and his work attitude is very positive, he can be called a god.Not only did he quickly learn the hard-to-understand Lingao dialect, he also taught himself Cantonese vernacular, Hokkien dialect and Nanjing Mandarin.Recently he noticed that this person was repeating a strange dialect again in the morning.

"This is Manchu." He replied to those who came to ask.

Ran Yao thought to himself: This kid really has a lot of ambition—but only with ambition can he have motivation.

Lin Baiguang walked in.

"Sit down." Ran Yao cut to the chase, "I just accepted a task from the executive committee. Your enemy industry department will be responsible for this task."

"Understood, what is the mission?"

Ran Yao briefly conveyed the intention of the executive committee.

"Why, have you considered how to proceed?"

"It's hard." Lin Baiguang replied seriously, "We don't have any 'relationships' to use in the pirate group. So far, the only connection we have got is Zhang Youfu—but he is only related to the peripheral elements of the pirates. And this person can't judge whether he is reliable now."
