Chapter 56 (1/2)
At noon, August 19, 1379.
In several places in port Tulun, the sound of a disorderly, low-key flint gun was heard. The sound of gunfire in each place, lasting only a few breaths at most, disappeared rapidly.
On the street, there are policemen on horseback, waving the black island shadow and red mountain cuckoo shield flag, running quickly to and fro, announcing the orders of Duke Ross loudly.
”No private armed gathering is allowed except for members of the special investigation team and their subordinates.”
”Those who carry guns, swords and more than three people will be killed!”
”Anyone who dares to mobilize private forces will be severely punished.”
Large groups of soldiers in iron gray uniforms appeared in the streets. They set up barricades and set up field guns. They brazenly divided port Tulun into small, impassable pieces.
The city hall of port Tulun is directly surrounded by two new-style flint gun infantry barracks. A garrison division commander of jiaxijia Island enters the city hall building in person. Except for the carefree Hessen, six members of the seven member committee of port Tulun are trapped in the city hall building.
Moreover, it is completely isolated from internal and external information.
Near the old pier No.1 of Tulun port, a building with a height of No.1 is no more than 100 feet. Above a hill, which covers a vast area and is built of gray granite, it stands out like a battle fort in all directions.
Outside the main entrance of the building, in the fountain, was a bronze statue nearly 20 feet high.
A huge bronze key crossed with a long sword, a ferocious nine headed snake wrapped around the crossed key and sword. The nine huge snake heads were facing in all directions, and eighteen scarlet eyes were vigilantly watching around.
This is the customs office of port Tulun, the headquarters of the customs anti smuggling team of port Tulun. It is also in the stone building 200 feet long and two stories high.
Teams of soldiers in iron gray uniforms had surrounded the customs before Joe arrived.
Eighteen hundred millionths of field guns were loaded with powerful flowering bullets. The black muzzle of the guns pointed straight at the main gate of the customs building.
Several panicked customs officers hid behind the gate, shouting at the outside, but the troops surrounding the building did not respond. Two bold officials wanted to come out and negotiate with the head of the army. After a few dull shots, they ran back and did not dare to show up again.
Qiao Sheng captured Sinbad, immediately with a large group of people, from the direction of palm tree street, surging toward the customs building.
The tooth was close behind Joe and was excited: ”young master, I want to do this for many years Aha, the anti smuggling team, damn it, we lose millions of gold marks on them every year
”Uncle tooth, you are wrong.” Joe quickly whispered, ”we are law-abiding and pay taxes on time and in full. We never do anything illegal. ”
”As for the anti smuggling team, they are a place to hide evil. In the name of law, they seek private interests for their families and individuals. They are the vampires of all the legitimate merchants in port Tulun. ”
Qiao solemnly said: ”we must clean up the rubbish and scum in this, and let the anti smuggling team become an elite team that truly respects the law, abides by the law, enforces the law fairly and has strict discipline, and wholeheartedly escorts all the legitimate business activities in port Tulun.”
Teeth a little dizzy looking at Joe, he opened his mouth, after a long time, this murmured: ”young master, you grow up. Finally, you become the same as the boss... ”
Joe lowered his voice: ”wise and wise?”
His teeth frowned tightly. After a long time, he murmured in a low voice: ”my conscience does not allow me to agree with what you just said.”
Joe was so angry that he gave his teeth a fierce look. He put his head out of the window and yelled, ”speed up. We'll be very busy today. We have so many places to run.”
There is no doubt that Duke Ross's arrival has shocked the whole port of Tulun.
The witus must take advantage of the opportunity brought about by the mid autumn massacre and with the strong support of the Duke of Roth to make a good profit in the whole port of Tulun.
Joe was holding his cigar and puffing at the smoke. ”I heard that the Welles and the turings, they were in collusion with those rebels of Garcia?”
”It's obvious. Otherwise, where did those poor people come from to fight with the Duke for so many years?” Ya is an old man of the Rittal family and one of the top leaders in the core. He knows a lot of information that Joe doesn't know.
Now that Joe was an adult, he was suddenly enlightened and sensible. He took the opportunity to teach Joe something he thought he should master.
”The Welsh family are deeply rooted in the port of Tulun and the island of Garcia, and their influence is intertwined. In particular, they have become the nobles of the imperial capital in recent years. Even the Duke dare not touch them easily, otherwise it will cause unpredictable great changes.”
”But this time, it's the best chance.” Teeth slapped Joe's thick shoulder: ”young master, well done, who would have thought that you could get the survey data? With it, as long as you master it, no matter how hard the Duke's attack is this time... ””Are we sure to win?” Joe looked at his teeth happily.
”See your Majesty's decision.” ”This is a great opportunity. For us, the truth of the mid autumn massacre is no longer important. The important thing is who has the final say in the future.
Joe took a heavy puff of smoke.
He experienced the terrible bombardment of the pink Mermaid, but he never dreamed that an unusual attack would lead to such complicated subsequent waves.
But he likes it.
