The Duties of the Sheriff
Chapter 1212 The Duties of the Sheriff
For these shady ways, Han Zhengshan didn't need to ask Qin Biao how to operate them. He didn't lose the benefits when he was a headhunter in Hangzhou. These tricks have long been familiar.He is more interested in the difficulties and challenges he will face as a sheriff in an overseas colony like Da Nang.Although the lecturers also talked about this issue during the training in Sanya, Han Zhengshan would not miss such an opportunity to consult with an incumbent magistrate face to face. Besides, when Tan Juren asked him to accompany him, he also made it clear that It must be out of similar considerations that he was asked to communicate more with the local sheriff.
"Difficult?" After hearing Han Zhengshan's question, Qin Biao pondered for a moment before answering: "I don't know much about the situation in other colonies, and I dare not speak nonsense. Speaking of Da Nang alone, the biggest difficulty may be this The power of the two countries is over."
Han Zhengshan was puzzled and said, "Isn't this place under the full control of Haihan Kingdom?"
Qin Biao nodded and said: "That's true, but only about half of the permanent population in Da Nang are Haihan nationals, which means that these people are subject to the Haihan law. Of course, according to our current practice, for non-nationals Criminal behavior can also be dealt with, but the composition of the local population is complex, and some Annan people who come here to trade are of high status, and it is difficult to deal with crimes. Brother Han must have thought of the difficulty."
The situation Qin Biao mentioned is not difficult to understand. Da Nang was originally an enclave drawn from the land of Annan. Among the merchants who come here to trade, the largest proportion is Annan.And these businessmen who are qualified to do cross-border trade with Haihan, many of them have deep backgrounds, and even represent the official interests of Annan.If these people commit crimes in Da Nang, the Haihan Magistrate must deal with them, and naturally he must also consider the possible impact of punishment measures on the relationship between the two countries.
Although there are eye-catching slogans on the outer walls of the police stations, "Enforcement must be strictly enforced, and lawbreakers must be prosecuted", but they are all insiders, and they also know that the spirit symbolized by these slogans does not apply to everyone.Especially in areas with a special environment like Da Nang, it is inevitable to have more scruples when dealing with security incidents.Han Zhengshan previously thought that Haihan had [-]% control over the local area, but now judging from Qin Biao's description, the situation is not so optimistic.
"Then if you encounter the situation that Brother Qin mentioned, how do you usually deal with it?" Han Zhengshan continued to ask for advice.
Qin Biao replied: "Let's go through the normal procedure first. If the identity of the other party is really hard, then you have to ask the chief. Generally speaking, as long as it is not a felony of murder and arson, it is mostly resolved in private in the end."
Han Zhengshan said with a smile: "So speaking, it's actually no different from Daming's yamen."
Qin Biao nodded and said, "That's true, but there is one thing that the Ming government can't compare to."
Han Zhengshan said: "I would like to hear the details."
"The citizens of Haihan committed crimes in Annan, and the Annan government is not qualified to impose penalties. They can only hand over the criminals to us." Qin Biao sighed: "It is said that this was also signed by the Executive Committee and the Annan court. One of the agreements."
"This is really amazing!" Han Zhengshan's destination was not in Annan's territory, so he hadn't heard of the diplomatic agreement signed between Haihan and Annan during his training.From the policy differences between the two sides on this issue, it can also be seen that Haihan is indeed stronger in the relationship between the two countries.
Qin Biao said: "Other than that, there are no problems. To be honest, this place is much easier to manage than Hainan Island. The local area is full of prostitutes with no background. It's not like Sanya. Any passer-by may be from the chief's family." Servant, I can’t afford to offend you. I heard that you are going to a place farther south, it’s a good thing, more than half of the local people must be slaves bought from Nanyang, so it’s easier to manage!”
Regarding the operating conditions of Haihan in the South China Sea colony, Han Zhengshan also learned something about it during his training in Sanya. It is indeed the situation Qin Biao said. Because the place is far away from the Han settlement, there are very few Han immigrants. In order to supplement the labor force, the Haihan Han can only buy slaves with almost no human rights from slave markets in various parts of the South China Sea.Because of cultural and language differences, these slaves would have to pay far more than Han immigrants if they wanted to obtain Haihan nationality, and the security agencies would control them more easily. After all, these people do not even have freedom of movement. He was locked up to work on the plantation every day, and the possibility of breaking the law was relatively small.
The two kept chatting until the reception banquet attended by the chiefs was over. When Tan Juren came out, his cheeks were slightly red, and it seemed that he had drunk a little wine at the banquet.Before getting into the carriage, Tan Juren did not forget to ask Han Zhengshan, "Have you talked with the local sheriff?"
Han Zhengshan hurriedly leaned over and said: "I have already talked about it just now, and I have gained a lot from my humble position."
Tan Juren didn't ask further, nodded and said: "That's good, let's go back and talk about it first."
The southbound fleet only stayed in Da Nang for one night, and was about to leave early in the morning, so the officials in the fleet did not stay overnight in the town.The loading and unloading of the goods has been completed before dark, but it will not delay the departure of the next day.
Han Zhengshan did not return to his ship, but was taken by Tan Juren to the warship where he lived.Every traveler here has a separate cabin, and the living conditions are naturally much better than the immigration ship where Han Zhengshan was on.
"Sit down and talk!" Tan Juren pointed to the stool in front of him.Although he lived in an independent cabin, the space was really small. The two-and-a-half-foot-wide bed, plus a set of tables and stools by the porthole, already took up most of the interior space.Two oil lamps with glass shades were lit on the bulkhead in front of the table, illuminating the room.Tan Juren sat on the edge of the bed, and there was only one stool in the room to sit on.
After Han Zhengshan thanked him, he sat down upright.The boss summoned him alone, fearing that there was an important order, Han Zhengshan did not dare to neglect at all, and waited for Tan Juren's instructions.
"After you talked with the local sheriff, how do you feel?" Tan Juren asked a seemingly vague question.
Han Zhengshan thought for a while before answering, "It seems easier to be a security officer in an overseas colony than in China."
Tan Juren said with a smile: "You can focus on the key points! Then let me ask you again, if Da Nang was handed over to you to manage, what would you do?"
Han Zhengshan said: "Probably...can't do better than Mr. Qin."
Han Zhengshan's old titles will not be changed for a while, and Tan Juren is not in a hurry to correct him at this time, but continues to talk along the topic: "Qin Biao's local practices are somewhat forced, after all, here The environment is no better than in China, and An Nanguo’s feelings must be taken into account. There is nothing wrong with this, in the big picture, of course, the national interest takes priority, and the details can be put aside.”
Han Zhengshan could understand every word Tan Juren said, but he just didn't quite understand what he was referring to.It is obvious that the boss has a good understanding of the public security situation in Da Nang, so he made such a comment, but Han Zhengshan did not hear a clear attitude whether it was praise or derogation.
Tan Juren continued: "The environmental situation of our destination is not as complicated as Da Nang, so you don't have to worry about so many diplomatic difficulties to deal with. But there is one thing I want you to understand. The security situation in many places in the South China Sea It's not as peaceful as you learned during your training, and if the situation calls for it, you police forces are also armed for combat missions."
"Ah?" Han Zhengshan really couldn't react when he heard the news.Previously, he specifically asked Qin Biao about the situation in the southern colonies, but the answer he got was completely different.
Tan Juren added: "It was quite peaceful before, but the external environment in some places has changed this year, so the pressure on public security may also increase. You don't have to wonder why there was no information about this during the training in Sanya earlier. Because I only heard about it when I was eating just now."
"Chief... Shouldn't there be garrisons here?" Han Zhengshan asked with some doubts.According to the training he has received, the police force is only responsible for maintaining law and order in the area, and the military is in charge of combat tasks in principle.The vast majority of grassroots police officers have not received combat training. Wouldn't it be useless as cannon fodder to temporarily drag them onto the battlefield to perform combat missions?
Tan Juren said: "Of course there is a garrison, but under normal circumstances it's not your turn to go to the battlefield. I'm telling you this to make you prepare for this situation."
Han Zhengshan wondered how to prepare for this. I don't even have a knife that can kill chickens. The gun that I agreed can only be picked up from the military after arriving at the destination. Yi sent to die.But he didn't dare to question his boss's instructions, so he could only nod his head in response, secretly praying that he wouldn't run into such a bad thing.
Han Zhengshan returned to the emigration ship he was on with a complicated mood. Several colleagues asked him about going to the town with Tan Juren for a banquet today.It's just that when he was lying on the bed, he was still thinking about what happened in the south that made his boss so cautiously call him to talk.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, after all the ships were counted and the personnel were correct, they pulled anchor from Da Nang and continued to sail south.Their next stop is Quy Nhon Port, 180 nautical miles away, where there is also a batch of goods that need to be handed over to local businessmen.
After nearly two days of sailing, the fleet arrived at Quy Nhon Port smoothly.The operating conditions here are similar to Da Nang, but because of the late start, the construction scale of the port is obviously not as good as Da Nang.However, the condition of the natural harbor in Quy Nhon is better than that of Da Nang. The long and narrow harbor is more than 20 miles from north to south, and even a [-]-ton ship can easily enter the port to berth.There is also a large salt field built on the coast in the harbor, and its output is still sufficient to meet the needs of the people in southern Annan.
With the experience of Da Nang, Han Zhengshan will no longer be surprised to see hundreds of iron utensils being unloaded from the ship.Haihan's export commodities to southern Annan are similar, and Quy Nhon is no exception.The inland area of Quy Nhon Port is rich in water systems, and there are large areas of alluvial plains used for the cultivation of food crops, which can also be regarded as a livable place.
However, the degree of development here is limited. The local Haihan citizens are only about one-third of Da Nang, and the prosperity of nearby towns is not as good as Da Nang.However, Han Zhengshan heard from the locals that Haihan has invested and developed a large number of economic plantations in this nearby area, and it has been profitable since last year.It's just that Han Zhengshan has never even heard of the names of these commercial crops, and it is difficult to guess how Haihan's business is going here from these fragmented information.
The fleet originally planned to stay in Quy Nhon Port for only one night, but the weather began to deteriorate during the arrival of the port, and the nearby waters were windy and rough.For the sake of safety, the fleet finally waited for three days in Quy Nhon Port. After the weather conditions improved, they set off from here and continued southward.
130 nautical miles south of Quy Nhon Port is Haihan's largest comprehensive military base in the South China Sea, Cam Ranh Port.There is a full armed fleet permanently stationed here, as well as two battalions of army combat troops.After coming here, immigrants including Han Zhengshan and others once again confirmed Haihan's overseas military strength with their own eyes. You must know that it is more than 400 miles away from Haihan's capital Sanya. The voyage is also [-] nautical miles.Han Zhengshan believes that only Haihan can deploy such a large-scale army overseas so far away from the country.
Of course, this place is not all used for military purposes. Military and civilian ports have been built in the rather large Cam Ranh Bay, and there are also merchant ships from various countries who come to trade here.Part of the ships and personnel of the troops accompanying the fleet will stay here to replace the local garrison.The process of handing over and changing defenses takes two days, and the immigrants can also take a break here.Of course, the scope of activities for going ashore and venturing is still strictly limited, and it is impossible to travel here.
However, the accompanying cadres received slightly better treatment. They were organized to visit the military base here, and even boarded the flagship deck of the garrison fleet to experience Haihan's most powerful warship up close.This arrangement is of course a very intuitive and effective method of patriotism education. Everyone, including Han Zhengshan, cannot help but be subdued by this powerful force, and experience the strength of the maritime armed force known as the number one in the South China Sea.
"If you can stay in this place as a security officer, it will be really relaxing and happy!" During the visit, Han Zhengshan couldn't help but have such thoughts.
