Be a master through ancient times

Chu Ci held the investigation results returned by Atiena and remained silent. It seemed that his guess was correct, and the problem really appeared on these piers.

He has always suspected that whether it is the water bandits before or the Japanese later, if they can escape the pursuit of the navy every time, there must be a big problem.Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

According to the investigation results of Ah Tie, except for the original three or four piers, all of these piers were built in the past four or five years.After the wharf was built, the water bandits came upon hearing the news.These water bandits sometimes went ashore to harass fishermen by the sea, and sometimes plundered merchant ships in the sea, causing panic and misery among the people.

But they are rarely caught, and they often run away as soon as the navy receives the news.Now the same thing is happening to the Japanese. Even if the Navy's people set up a net to guard all the sea lanes, they can still seize the opportunity to escape. It's hard to say that no one has tipped them off.

The investigation also showed that both the government and the common people have lost official documents and letters over the years, but the official documents of the government were rarely lost, while the common people lost more.Some people also said that the letters they received occasionally felt like they had been opened, but both the opening and the wax seal were intact, which was really elusive.

Chu Ci couldn't help thinking of a letter from Kou Jing, and there was always a trace of something missing in the middle.And the last time an attendant from the Ministry of Industry who delivered the imperial court awards once brought him a letter from Kou Xun, which contained a lot of miscellaneous words, and finally added a sentence jokingly, saying that Ah Jing wrote four or five letters in January It was a little too much, but for the sake of his sincerity, he asked Chu Ti to learn more and reply to the letter.At that time, he only thought it was funny when he read it. How did he receive so many letters in a month?This Kou Xun loves to exaggerate.

Looking back now, I'm afraid it wasn't that he was exaggerating, but that he had never received these at all.So where did these lost letters go?

Chu Ci couldn't help making a bold guess. He guessed that the official documents and letters transported by sea had actually been leaked, and the Japanese relied on the information given here to make travel plans. In addition, the people at the dock cooperated with them internally and externally. They can get away easily.

But, do the people in the dock have that much energy?Are they alone able to easily touch official documents?As far as Chu Ci knows, although official documents have been transported by land instead of by sea three or four years ago, the imperial court did not just pile up official documents on the boat and leave them alone. Every government office will also send people to escort the boat. Then hand it over to other yamen to deliver it level by level.If the investigation continues, I am afraid that many things will be involved.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci immediately sent a letter to Mr. Fan, expressing his guesses one by one, hoping that Mr. Fan can follow this clue to investigate all the way down, and don't let those people take advantage of it. up.

Ever since the boatman incident happened, Master Fan has sent special personnel to travel between the provincial capital and Zhangzhou Prefecture, and Chu Ci's letter only needs to be delivered to him, so there is no need to worry about losing the message halfway.

……

Mr. Fan didn't know about Chu Ci and was about to send him an important clue. He was sitting in the naval camp at the moment, discussing the chart face to face with Marshal Zhu and others.

Since he got the chart, he rushed to the naval camp almost non-stop, and found Marshal Zhu Wei who was dispatching troops.The moment he took out the chart, Zhu Wei's eyes were also straightened, and he immediately asked him where the chart came from after recovering from it.

When Fan Ju told the inside story one by one, Zhu Wei couldn't help feeling sorry for him. He didn't expect it to be such a stupid thing, which made them almost miss the good time.Fortunately, the sea patrol was relatively strict during this period, and the Japanese did not dare to make big moves. I am afraid they have no chance to move now, otherwise the chart that was exchanged for their lives may be useless.However, the Japanese probably don't know that the sea chart has fallen into the hands of the Fujian Navy, and half a month has passed since the death of Juye Shanren, but the Navy has not moved at all, which inevitably contributes to their luck. Psychologically, he thought that Haitu might have become a secret with the death of Juyeshanren.

"My lord, the most important thing now is to compare the islands on this chart with ours first, so as to avoid the tricks of the Japanese and make a fake one to lure you into the urn. Please wish your lord this matter. You have worked hard for a while, and I have to go to the admiral to borrow someone from the admiral." Fan Ju said, his duty as the admiral of the navy is to deal with the orders issued by the court and raise the soldiers' salaries and other things, and really lead the soldiers to fight , It still depends on the marshal's blessing.

Zhu Wei nodded, and was puzzled again: "Go ask for a borrower from the school? Why, the one surnamed Chu refused to come?" His expression was obvious, and the implication was whether he should send a few people to tie him up. .

Fan Ju quickly shook his head: "No, no, Chu Tixue has already introduced me to someone, that is, Meng Fan from the Tixue Department. I wonder if you have any impression, Master Zhu?"

Zhu Wei thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Oh! How did I forget him! Two years ago, when the Japanese envoys landed here to entertain the governor, I had dinner at the same table as him! Now People speak Japanese very well, even the Japanese are amazed!"

Fan Ju laughed a little awkwardly, complaining secretly in his heart, can't you always remember it earlier?What's the use of Zhuge Liang after doing that now, and it made him go for nothing.

Later, he took Chu Ci's letter to the Tixue Department to find Meng Fan. Meng Fan knew what Chu Ci meant when he heard it, and he was very grateful for a moment.Facing Mr. Fan's request, he only said a few words modestly before agreeing.

Those Japanese people were locked up alone in the Admiral's Mansion. They were very important until they were interrogated clearly. If one of them was accidentally rescued or killed, it would make the situation even more confusing.

Fan Ju originally wanted to order the Japanese people to be interrogated, but was persuaded by Meng Fan, saying that these Japanese people are scheming, so beware of them telling lies.Fan Ju nodded. These Japanese people like to commit suicide by caesarean section. This time, they said that they would confess after only being tortured, which is indeed a bit suspicious.

After a discussion between the two, Meng Fan pretended to be a guard, guarding these Japanese people every day, and bringing them three meals a day.When he first went, the Japanese people were a little wary, but after a few trials, they dispelled their doubts, thinking that he was just an ordinary citizen who spoke unscrupulously, and sometimes even discussed in front of him until the Wei people found someone who would speak. How can Japanese speakers fool everyone.

Meng Fan sneered inwardly after hearing this, on the surface he was still pretending to be a mediocre prison boss, but secretly he had recorded everything the Japanese said.

It turned out that the reason why these Japanese kidnapped Juyeshan people was for two purposes.For one thing, they suspected that the chart lost not long ago was related to the Juyeshan people.They put this chart on the body of a big man, but it disappeared at the banquet. They thoroughly checked all the people who attended the banquet at that time, and found that Juyeshan people were the most suspected.

Secondly, they heard that Juye Shanren was knowledgeable and his words and deeds could enlighten people's hearts, so they wanted to tie him to the Wa Kingdom to advise the Wa Kingdom's shogunate.

They didn't expect the Wei people to find out so quickly that they neither asked about Haitu's whereabouts nor achieved the second goal, so they wanted to kill him ruthlessly, and let Haitu's whereabouts be buried in the belly of the fish with him.

"An important person?" Fan Ju immediately became vigilant when he heard it, "Is there any important person of theirs here in Dawei?"

"Yes, they have mentioned this important person many times, but they seem to be very careful. They have never mentioned his identity, appearance and age, and they always address him as an adult." Meng Fan said, guarding the cell these days , his condition is inevitably a bit haggard, but his eyes flashed brightly from time to time, it seems that he is quite happy to do this.

"These Japanese pirates really deserve to be cut to pieces!" Fan Ju felt his teeth itch at the thought of a big mouse lurking here, "Master Meng, please keep an eye on these few days, if there are any clues, Immediately send someone to report to the official."

Knowing that this is the real sea chart, and that the group of Japanese people only suspected that the loss of the sea chart was related to the Juye Mountain people, Mr. Fan immediately regained his spirit. They caught them all!

Fan Ju immediately prepared to leave for the camp, and discussed with Zhu Wei about dispatching troops.Just when he was about to go out, his subordinates reported that someone was visiting outside, and Mr. Fan had no choice but to come forward to receive him.

……

Zhu Wei's side has just determined these terrains. The reason is that when they just got the military deployment map over there and compared it with this side, they found that none of them matched.

The islands drawn above are completely different from the locations recorded on their maps, and the things on the maps are completely different, not to mention these completely different ones!Immediately there was a commander who was fooled.

"What's the fuss?" Zhu Wei glared at him. Just the twists and turns before the picture was sent was enough to prove that it was genuine. If it was a fake picture, was it worth their effort?

But, what went wrong?Zhu Wei stared at the picture for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the camp, Zhu Wei's thoughts were disturbed, and he became short of breath. He quickly walked a few steps to open the tent, scolded the group of rascals who caused trouble, and ordered them to be taken away. Each person plays five army sticks.

After scolding people, he calmed down a little, and was about to go back and continue looking at the picture. When he opened the tent, he glanced at the table.After a while, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the tent.

Then their marshal stuck his head out of the tent and told them that these little bastards would be spared the punishment. In addition, they would give each of them a chicken leg at night.

The soldier in charge of the execution let go with a dazed expression, not knowing why their marshal backtracked.The boys who had the quarrel just now also looked at each other in horror.

No way? !Did they just drive the Marshal crazy?Otherwise, why not punish but reward?This will not be the last meal they eat in the barracks, will it?

In fact, their marshal was just very happy, just that one glance made Zhu Wei's spirit soar, because he realized that they had been "seeing" wrong all along!The Japanese and Fujian are facing each other across the sea, and their military defense maps are also drawn from their perspective.However, the coastal defense map of the Fujian Navy was drawn from a perspective opposite to theirs. This led to the fact that when the two sea maps were superimposed, there was no corresponding situation.

Such a simple truth, but they only speculated back and forth on the fact that Japanese people are used to cheating. If he hadn't suddenly turned around and looked at it, I'm afraid everyone would have wasted a lot of time on it.
