Chapter 1335
Liu Shang was determined to ensure his own safety. For this reason, he even tried to transfer Qin An away from Sanya, and asked the civil affairs department to resettle him to the closed environment of Changhua.As for Qin An's mission, he didn't care much about it, and he didn't intend to assist the other party to complete this mission.Liu Shangchu also had the idea of copying and imitating Haihan military equipment when he came to Haihan, and he tried every means to go to the Sanya library to look up relevant materials, but he stayed in Haihan for a long time and saw a lot of things. Yes, he also knows that merely relying on the imitation of military technology cannot shorten the gap in military strength between the two countries, and many weapons equipped by Haihan's army cannot be copied without knowing their principles.
If the manufacturing process of Haihan warships can be stolen by one or two craftsmen working in the shipyard for a period of time, then the few big customers who ordered warships from Haihan would have copied it long ago. It has been a while since it was installed in the army, and it should have figured out the structure of the hull long ago.But the reality is that customers, including the Fujian Navy, still place new orders with Haihan every year. Contribute a labor force to Haihan.It's better to take him to the ravine, at least the possibility of revealing his identity will be much lower.
Although it is not safe to completely silence Qin An, but with Liu Shang's ability, the current solution is considered the ultimate.If you really want to ask him to kill someone, he might not be able to do it, not to mention that Qin An carpenter was born, and his body is much stronger than his lip service, so he may not be able to hold the opponent with his hands.When Qin An was released after working as a coolie in Changhua for a year or two, he might have found an opportunity to transfer back to Daming.
As for whether Liao Yuan will pursue this matter, Liu Shang is not worried. Not everyone can check this kind of immigration registration information. There is a certain risk, Liu Shang believes that with Liao Yuan's shrewdness, he will never put himself in such a dangerous situation.What's more, when the superiors sent Qin An to Sanya, they probably didn't communicate with Liao Yuan beforehand. He might not even know that such a number one person came to Sanya.
After thinking about it, Liu Shang also felt that his emergency change was quite perfect. Not only did he cleverly use his official status, but he also basically avoided future troubles. No one would associate a newly arrived carpenter immigrant with a high-ranking youth official.If it were anyone else, it shouldn't be better than myself.It's just that this performance can't be known to others, Liu Shang can only hold back in his heart and admire himself alone.
Two days later, Qin An was free, and he followed Liu Shang's previous instructions and came to look for him at his temporary residence.After the two sat down, Liu Shang pretended to ask about the result of the immigrant distribution. Qin An angrily replied: "These Haihan people are dishonest and hateful. When the matter came to an end, they assigned Qin to Changhua County Settlement. I heard that the place is more than two days away from Sanya, and there is no shipyard at all. After going down, I am afraid that there is no way to serve the country!"
Liu Shang felt relieved, and comforted him pretending to be sorry: "I even greeted them that day and tried to keep you in Sanya as much as possible... Well, this is probably because too many immigrants have been introduced recently, and they want to stay in Sanya. I'm afraid you need to have a stronger relationship. But don't be discouraged. There is a railway in Changhua County that is tens of miles long. There are trains that can pull tens of thousands of catties on the track for ore transportation After you go, you can study it carefully and see if you can gain something from it."
Qin An said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that there will be no suitable work to do after I go there. If I am sent to work as a lumberjack, then why bother with this errand!"
Liu Shangxin said that although your errand after arriving in Changhua is not a lumberjack, it is not much worse. I am not harming you, but saving you.But on the surface, he still comforted me with good words: "Don't worry, I will continue to find a way in Sanya to try to transfer you out of Changhua earlier. It's just that my errands are limited to the local area, and I will continue to find ways to transfer you from Changhua. It is difficult to exert influence, and this matter has to be discussed slowly and in the long run."
Qin An shook his head and said: "Brother Liu doesn't know something. The superior has given a time limit for this errand, which is only one year. If it is not completed within a year, this errand will be regarded as a failure! When the time comes, I will not be able to pay the errand when I go back. You will be punished. Instead of doing this, it is better to take a risk!"
Liu Shang was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Wait a minute, how are you going to take the risk? Let's talk about it first, let's talk about it first, you and I will add up together first, in order to be safe."
Qin An said: "Since you can't go to the shipyard, you can't be soft, so you have to come to hard! If you want to hand in a job to the higher authorities, you have to steal a few shipbuilding blueprints and go back!"
Liu Shangxin said that it would be better to send you to the shipyard to work as a carpenter to slowly learn skills. The office of the Department of Shipping of the Ministry of Communications in charge of the shipyard is located in Fort Victory, and the checkpoints are heavily guarded. How can outsiders get in?And there are barbed wire fences and moats outside, even if you, Qin An, have a few skills, it is impossible for you to escape these obstacles and get in.When the time comes, once you are caught and you can't stand the torture, won't you definitely drag me into the water?
Liu Shang knew that this was absolutely impossible, so he quickly dissuaded him: "The place where the blueprints of warships are stored is not a place where ordinary people can go. Changhua, that will definitely attract the attention of the Haihan Security Department, and when they directly attack you, how will you behave?"
However, Qin An seemed to have made up his mind, and replied in a deep voice: "I followed their arrangement and went to Changhua to stay for a few days first. When I was ready, I slipped away at an opportunity. Even if I was found missing over there, look for The area will definitely not expand to the whole island. At most, I will search in the county. After I sneak back to Sanya, I will find an opportunity to go to Shengli Fort to steal the blueprint. Brother Liu, you have been an official in Haihan, so you must be right. I am more familiar with Victory Fort, if you know the internal situation of Victory Fort, draw a blueprint for me, and then I can follow the map to find out, so as not to find a place to start."
Liu Shang complained incessantly in his heart, and said to himself that I had only been to Victory Fort once or twice, and every time I entered and exited, someone was watching by me, and I didn't dare to raise my eyes, so I couldn't draw any blueprints.You want to die like this, but you still want to drag Lao Tzu to jump into the river together, it is really not loyal enough.
But Liu Shang couldn't say too much, so as not to stimulate Qin An's emotions, he could only continue to persuade: "Brother Qin, this is not how this job is done. Do you think that no one has ever tried to steal Haihan's confidential documents? Do you think so?" Are the Haihan people defenseless against this? Let me tell you, your thinking is tantamount to sending you to your death! If you keep the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood. Take my advice and go to Changhua first, and wait for Brother Liao to come back. After I discuss a safe plan with him, I will try to bring you to Sanya."
Qin An still did not give up and asked: "When will Brother Liao come back? If there is no suitable way, what should we do?"
Liu Shang thought in his heart that you really don't know how powerful Hai Han is, and you're afraid that you won't die fast enough!At present, it is only said that Liao Yuan will turn around in the near future, and then Liao Yuan will gather people to conspire with each other.Although Qin An was still not convinced after hearing this, his attitude had softened significantly.Seeing this, Liu Shang quickly mobilized his tongue, striking while the iron was hot, to persuade Qin An to give up this unrealistic and extremely risky action plan.It took a long time before Qin An finally agreed to follow the official arrangement to go to Changhua, but he could only wait there for two months at most. If there is no feasible plan after two months, then he will have to plan his own actions up.
Liu Shang tried hard to talk, and finally won a two-month buffer period. After sending Qin An away, Liu Shang couldn't help but feel very annoyed about his previous troubles in the immigration camp.If they had pretended not to know each other at that time, the meeting between the two of them would have been just a moment of preaching.Afterwards, Qin An will be assigned to Shengli Port Shipyard, and theoretically there will be no intersection with him, and for safety reasons, the other party should not take the initiative to contact him.How could I know that I was obsessed with ghosts for a while, and went to troublesome things, but now I made things difficult to deal with.
What are the chances of Qin An failing to act on his own?Liu Shang's opinion is [-]%, there is not even a slight chance of winning.But it was obvious that this guy was extremely stubborn and fearless, and vowed to complete the task as soon as possible, so it didn't matter whether anyone cooperated with him or not.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Liu Shang feels that he must come up with a reasonable solution to solve the hidden danger of Qin An.But I am alone and weak, and it is impossible to complete this task alone, so I have to find a helper somewhere.
Liu Shang carefully recalled the various people he met after coming to Sanya, basically there was no one he could really trust, after thinking about it, only Liao Yuan and his group who were in the same camp as him were the most reliable.But wouldn't it be absurd to persuade these people to help him kill Qin An?As long as Qin An communicated with Liao Yuan a little, it would not be difficult to find out the role he played in the process. At that time, the person Liao Yuan would kill would probably be himself.
Liu Shang was very annoyed at the moment. Thinking about the trip around the island a few days ago, such a complicated environment supported him. Unexpectedly, after successfully entering the Haihan government, his success might fall short because of the recklessness of a new colleague.The most irritating thing is that the culprit who caused this embarrassment is precisely Liu Shang himself. If he hadn't reached out to meddle in his own business, Qin An would basically have nothing to do with him now.
After a few days of worrying, Liu Shang saw that Qin An didn't come to him again. Presumably, he should have gone to Changhua to settle down in accordance with the immigration allocation. At least for the time being, he doesn't have to worry about this guy for the time being. As for the countermeasures, he can only think about it slowly. .But before he could recover from this incident, new troubles came to him again.
After Liu Shang got off work that day, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind while walking on the road. When he looked back, his heart beat a lot faster, and it turned out that Liao Yuan was standing behind him.
Liu Shang smiled and said: "It turned out to be Brother Liao. A few days ago, I heard that Brother Liao had an errand and went out. I don't know when he will come back?"
"I just arrived yesterday." Liao Yuan lowered his voice and said, "This is not a place to talk, you follow me."
Liao Yuan didn't want to have a detailed talk with Liu Shang in a place where people were coming and going on the street, so he turned around and left immediately, Liu Shang didn't dare to ignore him, so he could only follow quickly.The two went one in front of the other, and after going through a few alleys in the direction of the port area, Liao Yuan entered a small courtyard with a single family. Seeing this, Liu Shang had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in.
"There is no one else here, so it's easier to talk, sit down." Liao Yuan lit a candle, and then began to talk about his experience these days: "Boss Liu went to Guangzhou for business a few days ago and asked me to go with him. At that time, you were training The center can't tell you the news, so I can only follow him to Guangzhou to handle business. By the way, I heard that you are already working in the Haihan Yamen?"
Liu Shang knew that it was useless to deny this matter, so he nodded immediately and said, "There were some coincidences in the middle, I ended up not going to the Propaganda Department, but joined the Youth League."
"Youth League?" Liao Yuan's eyes lit up immediately when he heard these three words: "This is a privileged yamen...then have you ever met Yu Xiaobao, the head of this yamen?"
Liu Shangxin said that not only did he meet, he also ate, lived and traveled together for many days, and he appointed Lao Tzu for this position.However, regarding these matters, Liu Shang was more thoughtful and did not intend to tell Liao Yuan the whole story. He nodded immediately and said: "When I reported to the Youth League, I met him once. He is very young, but he has a high position and authority. The officialdom of the Han Dynasty has a lot of weight."
Liao Yuandao: "It is said that although this person is a local aborigine, he may have some kind of kinship relationship with the Haihan people, so he was reused by the Haihan people at a young age, and the high-level officials of the Haihan people trust him very much. If you can build a relationship with this person , may provide a lot of convenience for future tasks."
Liu Shangying said: "We should do our best. But the day before yesterday, an armed fleet came to attack Sanya, and the two sides fought a battle at sea. The job I received recently was to give publicity and explanations for this matter. I spent a lot of time running outside. No chance of going to Fort Victory."
Although Liao Yuan has only just come back, he has already heard about the battles a few days ago, and he couldn't help sighing: "I think the Frangji fleet is also strong and powerful, and they didn't even take advantage of it when they came to the door Being beaten to the point of fleeing, this Hai Han's strength is indeed terrifying."
The Ming Dynasty had always been unable to distinguish between Spain and Portugal. At first, it only called the Portuguese the Franji people according to what the Arabs called the Europeans. For the Spaniards who occupied Luzon Island, they also followed this name.However, Liu Shang traveled around Hainan Island with Yu Xiaobao's inspection team and gained a lot of knowledge. He already knew that Portugal and Spain are actually two countries. Haihan has always had old grievances, so he sent troops to attack the day before yesterday.
