Chapter 1341
In a solemn atmosphere, everyone stood on the pier in fear and respect and listened to Yan Chujie's farewell admonition.For these naturalized officials, the chief executives of the Executive Committee have always been regarded as gods, and what they say can be equated to a government order in black and white with a red seal, which must not be disobeyed.Of course, there are also people with astute minds like Liu Shang among them, and they have experienced something different from Yan Chujie's speech.
Before that, more than half of the affairs in the occupied area in Shandong were managed by the military, and Yan Chujie's speech was more or less intended to protect his own family.This may be a warning to everyone not to try to find trouble with the military during the handover process.As for what kind of troubles there will be in this process, Yan Chujie didn't elaborate, and Liu Shang is not very familiar with this kind of affairs, so naturally he couldn't guess it.However, the journey to Shandong is long, and there is plenty of time to ask the other civil affairs officials who are traveling with him for advice, so Liu Shang is not in a hurry.
After Yan Chujie finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Yu Xiaobao who was standing next to him, which meant that he should also say a few words.Yu Xiaobao nodded, took a step forward, and said loudly to everyone: "It's a long way to go to Shandong, and the local environment is not as good as Sanya, so life will inevitably be more difficult. Everyone, don't forget to take care of your body after work. My Hai Han still has many development plans in the north in the future. If you have the heart, you can stay in the north and take charge of it. The time has come, everyone, please board the ship!"
Yu Xiaobao's words were succinct and concise, and seemed to be polite at first, but Liu Shang is someone who specializes in collecting information from the smallest details, so he naturally noticed the information mentioned in Yu Xiaobao's words.
Haihan still has many development plans in the north, and the amount of information contained in this sentence is very large.It has become a fact that Haihan currently occupies a part of Dengzhou, Shandong, but judging from Yu Xiaobao's statement, Dengzhou is not the end of Haihan's northward activities, and there will be more actions in the future.Liu Shang doesn't know the local situation, and he doesn't have much information about Shandong in Sanya. It's hard to deduce Haihan's next development direction in the north out of thin air.
At this moment, he couldn't help but began to worry about Daming's safety. After all, Dengzhou was only separated from the important area of Gyeonggi by the Bohai Bay.However, more than half of the naval forces of the Ming Dynasty in Bohai Bay were cooped by the rebels during the Denglai Rebellion and went to the Northeast to seek refuge in Houjin, and some of them went to Pidao. Coastal prefectures and counties can at most serve as an early warning, but they simply cannot fight against the mighty Haihan fleet.
If it was in the peaceful years, after the Denglai Rebellion was put down, it would be enough time to reorganize a naval force to guard the Bohai Sea. Sufficient amount is taken from the budget to rebuild a naval force that may not be put into combat.
The reason for saying this is because Haihan’s absolute control over the coastline south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty has been fully revealed in the past few years. It would be foolish enough to ignore Haihan's armed forces at sea. The practice of using naval forces to challenge Haihan's fleet has been proven many times to be unworkable. Senior officials have realized that it is currently the most sensible way to maintain a superficial peace with Haihan. Diplomatic handling strategy.
Of course, there are also people like Liu Shang who are worried about the safety of the capital like Liu Shang in the court, but what's the use of worrying?At this time, Daming is no longer able to deal with a powerful enemy from the sea. This is not the Japanese pirates who harassed the coast of Daming in the past, but the armed forces at sea that are more powerful than the Daming navy. Force alone cannot completely solve the problem. Haihan's question.
"Perhaps when we arrive in Shandong, we will be able to find out about Haihan's next plan." At this moment, Liu Shang unconsciously re-established Daming's position, and he even began to think in his mind how to avoid leaving any traces. He directly connected with the local Ming intelligence agency in Shandong, and quietly passed on the information he had obtained there.
The habits of many years cannot be changed overnight after all. Even though Liu Shang had already made up his mind to wash his identity and become a peace officer in Haihan from then on, when the real thing came to an end and he discovered that there was a potential crisis in Ming Dynasty, he would still I can't help but weigh the pros and cons as a yamen official.Even though the benefits that Da Ming can give him are far less than that of Hai Han, this kind of nostalgic power is still strong enough to make him subconsciously plan for Da Ming.
Yu Xiaobao's remarks were as confident and firm as other high-ranking Haihan officials, and Yan Chujie next to him did not express any objection to this, so Liu Shang believed that this was not his bragging, and he had to do something to be worthy of his own Identity - the identity that he almost gave up yesterday.
In a daze, Liu Shang realized that Yu Xiaobao had finished speaking, and went straight to him and the other three youth league officials, apparently wanting to give them a few words of advice individually.
"What I should tell you is almost the same as I said a few days ago. I will emphasize one more point..." Yu Xiaobao spoke with a mature tone that strongly does not match his age: "...after arriving in Shandong, behave in a low-key manner and do things in a high-key manner .If there is any uncertainty in the work, the attitude of the military shall prevail, understand?"
Everyone responded immediately.A few days before their departure, they were all given surprise training, one of which was to have a general understanding of Haihan's local management organization and personnel arrangements.
At present, there are as many as five senior military generals stationed in Shandong, Wang Tom, Qian Tiandun, Morgan, Haru Gong, and Chen Yixin, and the only ones who can barely be classified as civilians are Hao Wanqing, the second in command of the Ministry of Security, and There are two exploration experts, Tian Yeyou, who are in charge of the operation of the Fushan Copper Mine.Strictly speaking, the two men have always had close contacts with the military, and usually do not manage mundane affairs that have nothing to do with their fields of work, and their positions may not be on the side of the civilian camp.
And this time, the team that went north to aid in the construction did not have a higher-ranking "head" to join it, and the proportion of civil and military officials in Shandong will not change in particular.Therefore, Yu Xiaobao had to remind himself these subordinates to prioritize things after arriving in the local area, and not to have conflicts with the military in charge of local government affairs.Otherwise, they would annoy several bigwigs in the military, and no one would be able to save them if they suffered over there.
After learning about the staffing, Liu Shang also sighed secretly. He has visited various states and counties in Hainan Island with Yu Xiaobao, and he knows that Haihan generally only arranges one or two "chief" level officials to be in charge of local government affairs and military affairs in an area. However, Haihan's occupied area in Shandong has so many high-level officials, and they are mainly military officers. This alone shows that Haihan's intentions are not pure.
After Yu Xiaobao finished his instructions, he signaled them to board the ship quickly.After Liu Shang carried the luggage on board, a sailor picked it up and carried them into the cabin.At present, there is a leader at the pier to see them off, and it is impossible for them to go straight into the cabin to rest after boarding the ship. Now they have to stand on the side of the ship and wait for the leader to leave first after the boat sails before they can move freely.
But it wasn't just Liu Shang and his group that Yan Chujie and Yu Xiaobao were going to send away, there were more than a dozen other cargo ships loaded with various supplies going north with them.Most of the materials on these ships can only be produced in Sanya, and there is no lack of munitions and equipment supplied to the northern frontier, which are quite valuable.And the captains of these cargo ships will also be received collectively by Yan Chujie.Therefore, Liu Shang and the others had to wait on the boat. After Yan Chujie finished seeing the crew of the cargo fleet, the entire fleet would set off together.
Fortunately, Yan Chujie always acted swiftly and resolutely, and never dragged his feet. As soon as they stood on the side of the ship, Yan Chujie had already finished his practical speech to the captains.A sharp copper whistle sounded from the pier, signaling the ships to leave the port. Under the command of the captain, the sailors skillfully unmoored and hoisted their sails, and slowly sailed away from the coast.
Liu Shang saw Yu Xiaobao standing on the pier waving towards him, he also imitated others, raised his arm and waved vigorously in Yu Xiaobao's direction, as a farewell.If only in terms of getting along with people, he feels that Yu Xiaobao is still a good boss, shrewd but not mean, and can even be said to be more friendly, compared to the sinister and cunning boss he used to be on duty , it is very easy to get along with Yu Xiaobao as a subordinate.
Farewell here, I don't know when to see you again.Although Liu Shang didn't have any sentimental emotions, he still couldn't help recalling the experience of working with Yu Xiaobao some time ago in his mind.As a spy of Ming Dynasty, I worked with a high-ranking official of Haihan for almost a month by chance. This kind of experience can be regarded as very special.
But Liu Shang thought about it again, and it seemed that there was nothing special about it. When he went to Shandong this time, there were still seven high-ranking Haihan officials there, and there were more opportunities to work together.At that time, there will be many opportunities to observe how the Haihan people govern their overseas occupied areas.
Seeing Yan Chujie and Yu Xiaobao return to the carriage, and then leave the pier under the guard of the cavalry, the people standing on the side of the ship and waving their hands slowly stopped, and moved their already aching arms.Some people felt that the deck was very windy, so they immediately went back to their cabins to stay.
The sailboat carrying the cadres who went north to aid construction this time is a passenger ship affiliated to the Shipping Department of the Ministry of Communications. Although it does not have high-tech blessings such as steam power, the ship specially built for transporting middle and high-level officials is comfortable. But it is far more than a naval battleship.In addition to Liu Shang's group of people going north to Shandong, there were also several individual passengers on board who were going to Hong Kong, Penghu, Zhoushan and other places.Of course, these individual passengers are also employees of various government departments, and ordinary people are not eligible to board this ship that has special requirements for status.
Liu Shang didn't want to go back to the cabin immediately to nestle. He propped his hands on the side of the boat and stared at the farther and farther coastline.
Although he has had many thrilling moments in his career in the past, compared with what he has seen and heard in the past few months, it seems to be relatively ordinary.The past few months on Hainan Island seemed to have opened up a whole new world in front of him. In this world, Ming was not the strongest country, and the little-known Haihan was the center of the world.There are so many things in this country that Ming cannot match. According to the Haihan people, this country is hundreds of years ahead of Ming, and there are even hundreds of years behind in some fields.
Liu Shang could not accept such a theory at first, but what he saw and heard later proved that the Haihan people's bragging was true.After seeing a lot and getting a deeper understanding, Liu Shang's original intention to overthrow Haihan Kingdom became less and less, because he knew that this was basically an impossible task, and gradually he tended to protect himself more and more. Even for this reason, he did not hesitate to act without authorization, indirectly killing a group of colleagues who were also lurking in Haihan.
It's a pity that after all the tricks were exhausted, he couldn't continue to live a stable life in Sanya.After going north, what kind of environment will be waiting for him, and now there is no way to judge. In short, Sanya will not be as comfortable as Sanya.But at this time, he felt that Daming was facing a crisis, and he had to do something to make up for his previous mistakes.
This vacillating position made him feel a little contemptuous of his lack of firm will, but in fact he didn't know it well, it was because his sense of identity was becoming more and more blurred.
Now whether he is a Ming person or a Haihan naturalized citizen, Liu Shang's understanding of the boundaries between these two identities is increasingly blurred.Let’s say he is from Ming, obviously he spends much more time working for Haihan now, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all supported by Haihan, he is said to be from Haihan, but he still has the identity of a lurker, and is still in the Caring about Daming's safety.
What to do next, Liu Shang really felt in a dilemma.Fortunately, on the way to Shandong, there is still enough time for him to slowly weigh the gains and losses and make the choice that is most beneficial to him.
It took only half a day for the northward fleet to sail out of Shengli Port, and Shandong, thousands of miles away, had already received a telegram relayed all the way from the coastline of Daming.Fort Shengli informed the Shandong side of the departure time of the fleet, the general status of the materials and personnel transported, so that the destination side can make early arrangements.
That evening, the news spread from Zhifu Island to Fushan County, and the person who was most excited about it was Chen Yixin, who had been temporarily assigned to manage civil affairs in recent months.With the arrival of this group of construction aid personnel, he can be rescued from the current mundane affairs and return to lead the army.
