A man named Xia once said: Eliminate all impossible conclusions, and whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth.

Well, this person's name is not Xia Xianze, but Charlotte Holmes.

Xu Xinsu, a great businessman in the 17th century, also understood this truth.

Why did the people on Dayuan Island know that Xiong Wencan was in charge of Fujian a few months ago? You know, at that time, it was not certain whether Yu Zigao, the commander-in-chief of Fujian Province, had received the memorial of Zheng Zhilong's defeat in the capital.

After Xu Xinsu eliminated all possibilities, she finally came to the conclusion that there was a big boss in the court who could influence the government's affairs and wanted to do something evil, so she rushed to the southeast corner in advance.

Xu Xinsu's official position within the system was the position of chief of coastal defense, which he bought with money. At this moment, when he found out that he actually had the opportunity to hug the thick legs of a certain big boss in the DPRK, this pair of people were being chased all over the map by Zheng Zhilong.

Generally speaking, the killing of Xu Ba is nothing less than a message from heaven.

After thinking about this, many compradors shouted: God will not destroy me!

Therefore, Xu Xinsu immediately made two actions.

First, he assigned his confidant Xu Duanwu to sail from Quanzhou on a small and flexible 200-year-old fortune ship, and went straight to Daguang. In order to avoid pirates and speed up the voyage, the ship only contained some raw silk and no other cargo in the cabin.

After Xu Duanwu arrived at the senior level, he made it clear that these raw silks were goods that his master owed the Dutch. From now on, all these owed goods will be handed over to the Chuanchu people at an opportunity.

Xu Duanwu will not leave from now on. He will wait for further instructions from the public on Da Yuan Island: Xu Xinsu's handwritten thank you for Toxinxin, which has been handed over to Cai Feiming before.

As for Xu Xinsu himself, on the second day after Xu Duanwu's departure, he organized a manpower, took a large amount of gold and silver, and went north to Fuzhou to lurk in accordance with the previous instructions of the traveler.

Cai Feiming called Xu Duanwu over today to inform him to be prepared: the envoy ship will leave tomorrow, and there will be a bed for Xu Duanwu on it. As for what Xu Duanwu should do when he returns to Fuzhou, someone will naturally tell him during the journey.

After Cai Feiming and Xu Duanwu briefly explained the situation, they took him to the door of an office in the southeast corner of the business building. After knocking on the door and handing Xu Duanwu over, nothing happened to Cai Feiming.

The person who received Xu Duanwu was named Tang, and he was a kind-hearted middle-aged man. This middle-aged man called himself Tang Qi. In fact, his real name was Tang Mu De, but he used a pseudonym in front of Mingren. Tang Qi was the director of the Operations Division of the Intelligence Bureau.

, is also one of the three swordsmen of this mission, specifically responsible for information communication and intelligence transmission.

After a brief chat with Xu Duanwu, I sent him back to prepare various mission reports and so on. Naturally, there will be time to discuss them in detail on the ship. It is best for everyone to hurry up and prepare their luggage.

Early the next morning, the team took the modified Fuzhou ship "Ruian" and headed straight north from Dayuan to Fuzhou.

In addition to Zhang Dongdong, the fake Cao Chuan, there are two other time travelers in the mission. One is Tang Qi from the intelligence department, and the other is named Sha Zhengming.

Sha Zhengming is a big man with a cropped haircut. He is broad-shouldered and round-waisted, with a ferocious face. He was a sailing instructor before. Since he traveled through time relatively late, as a representative of the navy, he was pushed out to become a pirate leader.

Sha Zhengming's apparent occupation is a general who leads elite pirates under Cao Chuan. In order to explain the soldiers' kun in front of Xiong Wencan, Sha Zhengming was set up as a monk Luocao template. The leader is a monk, so it is reasonable to have monk soldiers under his command.

After departing from Da Yuan, the Rui'an first headed north along the Taiwan coastline. It was not until it saw Cape Fugui in Taipei that it began to turn across the strait.

Due to the unfavorable wind direction, it took the Rui'an a full four days to cross the strait and reach the Lianjiang County area in later generations.

Lianjiang County in the isolated sea is part of the Matsu Islands. After seeing this place, the Rui'an began to turn its sails and sail toward the southwest. At noon the next day, looking from the bow of the ship from a distance, the mouth of the Minjiang River could already be seen.

of islands.

Entering from the mouth of the Minjiang River, passing by islands of various sizes along the way, and passing Mawei Island, you can see the Fuzhou Plain.

The Fuzhou Plain was a bay 5,000 years ago. 25,000 years ago, the sea level gradually dropped, exposing the silt layer of the Fuzhou Basin. Including the famous Yushan, Wushan, and Pingshan in later generations, these places were famous in Shang Dynasty.

Before the Zhou Dynasty, all islands were small islands, so Fuzhou had many place names named after "island".

As the Fuzhou Plain has continued to expand naturally for thousands of years, the Fuzhou City located on it has also kept pace with the times and been continuously expanded by the people of Fujian who lacked plains. Starting from a small smelting city in the Han Dynasty, it has expanded many times.

By the time the people arrived at the city, the outer wall of Fuzhou City had already enclosed the Jiuxian Mountain area.

After bypassing Maweizhou, where artillery and fortresses were deployed, it sailed upstream along the North Min River, which was split by Cangshan Island. At 5 p.m., the Ruian finally arrived at the Minjiang Pier outside Fuzhou City.

As the Fujian Prefecture, Fuzhou City is naturally extremely prosperous. Outside the south gate is a row of piers made of rough wood, lined up along the Minjiang River. There are many boats and sails on the river, and boats are shuttled on the pier. People are like ants, and people are like ants.

There are many streets and alleys along the river bank outside the south gate. Although they are mostly shanties and stilted buildings, they are also bustling as a market and business is prosperous.

The Rui'an was finally anchored under the "Hong" pier.

The "Hong" pier is a civilian pier. Originally, according to the identity of the Ruian, it could park directly at the official pier. However, the mission was on a secret mission this time, and there were many eyes and ears of the pirate gangs in Fuzhou City, so it was still

Be honest and park at the inconspicuous civilian pier.

At this time, already waiting for Zhang Dongdong and his party at the Hongzi Pier was the head of the Fuzhou Station of the Intelligence Bureau: Song Jia.

The layouts of Fuzhou Station and Hangzhou Station are similar.

There is also a high-ranking businessman with a semi-public identity to attract firepower, while Song Jia, the webmaster, hides in the dark as a Hangzhou grocery merchant and controls the overall situation.

After the Ruian dropped anchor, Song Jia, wearing a plain robe, walked onto the ship from the gangplank.

The stern cabin is busy at the moment: all electronic equipment, including radar equipment, must be disassembled and packaged, put into special moisture-proof boxes, and then hidden in the lower cabin.

The Ruian will stay outside the south gate of Fuzhou for many days. People are coming and going on the pier, and all kinds of monsters and monsters will often come in and out of the stern cabin, which is equivalent to an office, so the equipment must be hidden. Anyway, there is a radio station at Fuzhou Station, and there is no shortage of such things on the ship.

Part one.

There was no time for the few people to meet and exchange greetings, so everyone started working together, packing all the instruments according to the trained procedures, and then moved them into the secret compartment below the deck with their own hands. That was the end.

After doing all this, it was getting dark and it was a good time to go into the city.

Before Song Jia boarded the ship, he had already taken out his money and beat up the dock tax collectors and various ghosts and monsters. At this time, there were only a few sedan chairs that Song Jia had hired in advance outside Hongzi Pier.

So the tall and powerful envoys, all wearing veils and bowing their waists, quickly got off the boat and got into the sedan. Before closing the city, these four sedans were guarded by more than a dozen people.

, entered Fuzhou City.

Soon after the delegation left, the sky became darker and darker. At this time, another inconspicuous black and thin man stepped off the Ryan. After this man got off the ship, he hurried towards the south gate. The sailors on the ship seemed not to have seen him.

Same.

Fuzhou City is divided into the north and south, with Houguan County in the south and Min County in the north.

Walking north along the stone street lined with ancient buildings, the team started from the middle line of the south gate, passed through Fuxue, Houguan County Office, and then crossed Antai Bridge and returned to Zhumen, which was the must-see center of the ancient Chinese city.

A unique building: Drum Tower.

After passing the Drum Tower and then crossing the Maoying Bridge, you will reach Beicheng District, where the Governor's Yamen gather.

When the team reached this point, they did not go any further, but turned right. Finally, the delegation settled in a secluded house near the Zhongyi Temple in the upper right corner of Fuzhou City.

This house was the first property secretly purchased as soon as Fuzhou Zhanpu was established. The house is not big, has three entrances, and has a small garden. It is located between Zhongyi Temple and Shiqiao. It has convenient transportation and is a single-family house.

"Thank you for your hard work, you guys. I came all the way and there was no one to greet you. Oh, I'm really sorry." After entering the house to wash up briefly, Song Jia, a local snake, had the opportunity to greet everyone.

"Okay, you don't have to be polite, please hurry up and tell us about the situation." Song Jia's colleague, Tang Qitang, who was wiping his face with a wet cloth, turned around and said.

"Well, then I will briefly report the situation to everyone." Song Jia pondered for a moment and then said: "The overall situation is good at the moment. The news I got from Emei Peak is that Xiong Wencan is still looking forward to meeting you, Brother Cao."

After smiling at the fake Cao Chuan, Song Jia added: "But Lao Zheng is also making moves. A few days ago, Lao Zheng raided the Zhongzuo Institute, which put pressure on Xiong Wencan. In addition, he recently asked someone to lobby Xiong Wencan.

There are also people, all of whom are serving Zheng Zhilong’s purpose.”

"Then we should still act according to the original plan? Is there anything that needs to be changed?" After hearing what Song Jia said, Zhang Dongdong couldn't help but ask.

Song Jia shook his head and said decisively: "No, everything remains unchanged. The most important thing now is the meeting between you and Lao Xiong. Everyone else must work to ensure that the meeting goes smoothly. After that, we will make decisions based on the results of the meeting.

, agree on the next plan.”

"Don't worry, I have a plan here. Tomorrow, Old Tang and I will work together to perfect the plan." Song Jia said with a smile: "As for you two, just prepare for the interview with Old Xiong and don't worry about anything else.

."

"Okay, that's all we can do for now." Zhang Dongdong nodded after hearing this.

Since the Fuzhou Station was established only a short time ago, it has not yet cultivated enough trustworthy subordinates. Therefore, there are no outsiders in the compound of the mission, only three time-travelers and a dozen intelligence bureau subordinates brought from senior officials.

.

Three of them were Song Jia who stayed that night. They were Fuzhou station personnel who were familiar with the local situation. As for Song Jia himself, he returned to his own residence after a few hasty words. It was already the beginning of Haishi. If he didn't leave, he would encounter patrols.

That's troublesome.

So that night, Zhang Dongdong and his party had no choice but to do it themselves. After washing, they made the beds and arranged the sentry duty, and everyone went to bed early.
