1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 20 Interrogation

"When the prisoner is tied, leave it here and leave it to the people behind to deal with it!"

Yan Chujie gave the order loudly, and at the same time stepped on the prisoner's back, bent down and skillfully twisted the opponent's arms behind him, and tied the two wrists with straps.This kind of police plastic restraint belt is one of the police materials that Yan Chujie used to purchase before leaving his post. It is light in weight and easy to use, especially when it is necessary to control a large number of captured people, it is better than traditional metal handcuffs. Used a lot.And you don't need to cut the strap when you untie it, you only need a small tool to open it, and it can be reused many times.This time, when the joint action team came to the fishing village to investigate, Yan Chujie also brought a bundle of them, unexpectedly, it came in handy.

During the pursuit, Yan Chujie had already received the news that Tao Donglai was coming with reinforcements through the military radio.During the pursuit, the physical disparity between the two sides was clearly exposed. These Ming soldiers ran out of energy after running hundreds of meters in one go. Scattered retreat, swarms scrambled for their lives as a result led to greater psychological panic among everyone.

The pursuit team led by Yan Chujie didn't even need to aim to kill these deserters. As long as they saw that the front was slowing down and fired a shot into the sky, the deserters would immediately get up and run for a while. Can't run anymore.At this time, the pursuit team shouted and surrendered again, and the effect would be multiplied with half the effort.

After Yan Chujie tied the man under his feet, he noticed that the prisoner was wearing a leather armor in addition to the mandarin duck jacket, and couldn't help sneering: "Hey! He's also holding an official!"

The final result of this Ming army's great escape was that none of them had enough physical strength to escape to the landing site in one breath, and the pursuit team had to take the last two prisoners caught on foot all the way to the landing site on the bank of the Linchun River. The ten left-behind sailors who were having a picnic on the shore, together with the Haicang boat they were on, were also wiped out.

When the reinforcements brought by Tao Donglai went outside the fishing village, they found the bodies of several Ming soldiers lying in the middle of the rice field.The members of the military and police department have also been soldiers, so their emotions are relatively stable, and several members of the medical team are basically medical students, and they do not respond much to the dead. Zhan Zhan was almost dragged down this road.

Yan Chujie's pursuit group thoughtfully left marching marks on the tree trunks along the way, so the march of the reinforcements became very smooth, and the bound prisoners were gathered into the team one by one.At about [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the two teams of Chuanzhong's subordinates finally joined forces in victory by the Linchun River, and the hands of the two giants of the military and police department were also tightly clasped together.

"Comrade Yan, you've worked hard!"

Yan Chujie's pride was beyond words: "Generally speaking, in fact, it was not exciting to participate in the round-up of the gun case fugitives two years ago... These bastards can't even escape, no wonder they will be captured by thousands of wild boarskins later! By the way, How is our injury number?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem. The foreign devil said that he only needs to perform a minor operation to take out the arrowhead." Tao Donglai looked at the Haicang boat on the shore, and then said: "Well done, even with people and the boat. A pot is ready!"

Yan Chujie said in high spirits: "Or let's gather the team to go west and take Yazhou Water Village directly!"

"Then why don't we just go directly to Beijing and rush into the palace to kill the Zhu family?" Tao Donglai glared at Yan Chujie: "Old Yan, distinguish between priorities! Don't talk about these useless things, Hurry up to organize the team and count the results. I will contact the command first so that they don't worry."

After some counting, a total of 47 soldiers of the Ming army were captured in this battle, including several swords, guns, bows and arrows, a Haicang boat, and various materials on board.According to the preliminary statement obtained during the interim interrogation, there were 64 officers and soldiers of the Ming army in total, and the leader of this team was the Luo Baizong who was captured by Yan Chujie.In the battle outside the fishing village, nine Ming soldiers were shot dead on the spot, and four others died of serious injuries. Two more were shot dead on the way to escape, and two were missing.Although two people ran away, the cross-travelers were not worried about what troubles would happen to the two frightened deserters.

After a brief discussion, Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie decided that a five-member team from North America who were familiar with the operation of the ship would board the ship and escort the ten sailors who were originally driving the ship, and sailed the ship around the Luhuitou Peninsula back to Victory Port.The remaining prisoners of war were escorted by the military and police department to return along the original road, and at the same time, the bodies of those unfortunate Ming soldiers were buried.Fortunately, the Haicang boat was also equipped with a few shovels, otherwise, there would be no tools for digging in the wilderness, which would be a hassle.

When the weary prisoners of war finally arrived at Victory Harbor, everyone, without exception, was shocked by the fleet of ships moored on the dock.Luo Shengdong even screamed in his heart: "There really is such a giant ship in the world! If I knew this earlier, how could I be greedy for merit!"

The returning members of the Military Police were greeted by heroes, and almost all of them came to the pier to celebrate their triumph with applause and cheers.Even Zhang Guang, who had just finished the operation, ran out with one arm hanging to watch the fun, and gave his whistle to the companions who had successfully avenged him without hesitation.And seeing such a situation, the faces of the prisoners of war are even more ugly. God knows if they will be beheaded by these murderous pirates later?Or was it killed by that strange fire gun that could fire in bursts?

Due to the rush of the incident, Victory Harbor did not even have time to build a temporary facility for prisoners of war.So after a brief public demonstration, the prisoners of war were taken to a barge.The two cabins on this barge that were originally loaded with livestock have now been vacated, but they haven't had time to clean it properly, and the smell is still very strong. Now I can only aggrieved these prisoners of war to stay inside first.When these Ming soldiers got on the boat, they found that the whole boat was actually made of fine iron, and they couldn't help but be amazed.Even Luo Shengdong, who has always considered himself to have some knowledge, looked at it and muttered in his heart: "Why can this iron ship float on the sea and not sink? Is it because these pirates have some magic trick? If all the boats moored here are Made of refined iron, wouldn’t it be enough to have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of kilograms of refined iron?”

With the news of victory, the state of emergency has been lifted, and the basic order of Victory Port and Base No. [-] has been restored, and all construction work is continuing in an orderly manner as planned.However, the matter on the side of the military and police department is not over yet. The group of people has been escorted back, but they have to further interrogate, screen, and make follow-up arrangements.

Tao Donglai set a tone for this: "If no particularly bad deeds are found during the interrogation, then I suggest that this group of people be temporarily used as labor after the interrogation, whether it is digging the ground or cutting down trees, it can be arranged. Do some heavy manual work for them, anyway, we are at a time of lack of labor. The other officer should be handled with caution, I suggest that we discuss it at the next meeting. "

The people in the military and police department are mainly veterans. Of course, there are also a few who came from the police academy. In addition, Yan Chujie entered the public security system after being discharged from the army. After counting, there are actually eight or nine who were police officers before crossing.So the Military and Police Department immediately set up four interrogation teams, set up a battle at the port, and began to conduct surprise interrogations of the prisoners of war.

The purpose of the surprise interrogation is very clear. There are three main points.First, find out who organized the ambush against the people, whether it was an accidental event or a targeted action; second, learn as much as possible about the situation of the Yacheng Water Village and the army stationed in Yacheng, and find out the opponent. It is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the true strength of the prisoners of war, especially the opponent's combat mode, stationed distribution, main generals and other information; third, the prisoners of war must be screened and classified to see if there are special talents that can be used.

Of course, to understand these situations, the best source of information is undoubtedly the officers who commanded this unit, so Luo Shengdong was fortunately arraigned by the two-person review team of the Executive Committee composed of Yan Chujie and Ning Qi.

"You wait for the bandits, how dare you be the enemy of the official army..." Luo Shengdong still did not give up the basic principle, and planned to declare his position first, warning these short-haired pirates not to be too arrogant.Just before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the other party.

"You've made two mistakes in one sentence, and I have to correct you." Ning Qi didn't give him a chance to play at all, and immediately said, "First of all, we are not pirates or bandits, we are from overseas. Descendants of the Han people. Secondly, we did not fight against the official army. It was you who attacked first, and we were only forced to fight back.”

Luo Shengdong can understand most of these words, but the meaning of the words is not very clear. If you want to follow the other party's words, isn't it true that his dignified officers and soldiers have become self-defeating people?It just doesn't make sense!

But to refute the other party, Luo Shengdong found that he didn't seem to be able to come up with any valid evidence, so he could only say bitterly: "If you are of overseas Han descent, you should know the etiquette. The jurisprudence, what is not a bandit?"

Ning Qi was still planning to continue the debate with him, but Yan Chujie impatiently reached out and tapped on the table: "I said, Teacher Ning, now I'm not asking you to teach students, but interrogation. You haven't done this work, I think Let the professionals do it!"

Ning Qi blushed, and swallowed the series of lines that came to his mouth.

"Name!" Yan Chujie immediately took on the style of the former chief of the security department and started the interrogation of Luo Shengdong.

Luo Shengdong snorted and did not answer.

Yan Chujie was not angry, and sneered: "Is it emotional? Don't want to say yes? Look next to you."

Luo Shengdong turned his head to look at another trial team that was seven or eight meters away. It was also two-to-one, but the difference was that the person being tried over there was kneeling on the ground, and he still had it. Sit on a stool.

"Let you sit down and answer, this is the treatment of an officer. If you don't want to talk, I'll treat you as an ordinary soldier, then kneel down and answer!" Yan Chujie added in a timely manner.

Sure enough, the superiority of superiors and subordinates in the army works in any country and any dynasty. Luo Shengdong must not let the other party treat him as an ordinary soldier. If that is the case, it is simply sorry for the emperor, sorry for the Ministry of War, sorry for the Bai Zong handed down by the father. Position.

"Hainanwei... Yazhou Water Village... Bai Zong... Luo Shengdong..." In the end, Luo Shengdong compromised, but his attitude was really perfunctory.

"I can't hear you louder." Yan Chujie mocked in a relaxed manner: "No wonder he was beaten so badly. What kind of soldiers are you bringing with you? I think it's more or less the same when you go home and take a child."

"Luo Shengdong, Hundred Managers of Water Villages in Weiyazhou, Hainan! You understand!" Luo Shengdong shouted with rage, gnashing his teeth.

"The defeated general, why are you so loud? Why didn't you use your strength just now on the battlefield?" Yan Chujie continued to use a mocking combo: "I thought you used all your strength to escape for your life."

"You..." Luo Shengdong stood up suddenly, but before he could attack, the other party's series of blows came again.

"Sit or kneel, choose for yourself!" Yan Chujie didn't care about Luo Shengdong's anger at all, and just pointed at his leg.

Luo Shengdong's mouth opened and closed like a fish several times, but in the end he didn't say anything, and sat back down dejected.Ning Qi shook his head with a wry smile, and quietly gave Yan Chujie a thumbs up.
