Chapter 1342 Military and Civilian Integration
Haihan's occupied area in Dengzhou, Shandong was forcibly obtained by military means, and the foundation of its rule was not solid. Therefore, militarized management was implemented from the beginning, and all aspects of affairs were organized and implemented by the garrison.The senior military officers who are the generals of the garrison naturally took on more civil management tasks, but the related responsibilities were not evenly distributed, but were directly assigned by Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun.
As the highest-ranking officials stationed in Shandong, these two are in charge of the navy and army stationed in Zhifu Island and Fushan County. They assign civil management tasks, and others can only follow them even if they are not satisfied.The principle of crushing people to death at the top of the official rank is also common in Haihan.
Chen Yixin was one of those who were crushed to death by this reasoning.As the only junior in the team of travelers who traveled north to Shandong, he did not receive any preferential treatment in terms of task assignment, at least the result of the assignment was that his wish was not fulfilled at all.After the initial development of the Fushan Copper Mine was completed, Qian Tiandun assigned him to stay in Fushan County for a long time, and his responsibility changed from guarding the copper mine to managing immigration and trade, as well as coordinating with the Fushan County Government and Dengzhou Government. Dealing with Ming officials.
Chen Yixin has been leading troops to fight since crossing, from the mouth of the Pearl River all the way to Shandong, and made a lot of military exploits.But in the Haihan Army, his qualifications are indeed inferior to Wang Tom, Qian Tiandun, Morgan, and Haru Gong, who have already served in the army before crossing.Therefore, the management of civil affairs, trade, diplomacy and other tasks that no general is willing to take over can only be carried out by his younger generation.
These affairs are complicated and trivial, and there are many aspects that need to be dealt with. It is completely different from military affairs. Only one military order can solve the problem, so most of the generals have no patience to deal with mundane affairs.The only senior officials who are not from the military are Tian Yeyou and Hao Wanqing. As the Fushan Copper Mine has entered normal operation, Tian Yeyou will also leave Shandong and return to Hainan in the near future. It has been successfully completed.As for Hao Wanqing, it is even more impossible for him to show his face as a spy chief.
Although Chen Yixin was unwilling, he also knew that he had no place to push this errand, so he could only do it temporarily.Fortunately, when he was stationed at Dawanshan Island in the Pearl River Estuary, he also had some contact with some civil work. The big men in the army are more skilled.So this arrangement should be taken seriously, and it can be regarded as making the best use of everything and making the best use of people.
Of course, Chen Yixin will be assigned to be in charge of civil affairs. The above reasons are only part of it. The most important reason is that Chen Yixin is newly married to Ma Yuling, the eldest daughter of the local powerful Ma family. It is not convenient for the couple to live together.Although this kind of regulation is not humane, but the regulation is dead, people are alive, and the big bosses made it easier for Chen Yixin to take charge of civil affairs.In this way, Chen Yixin didn't have to live in the barracks, and naturally he didn't have to strictly abide by the rules of the army.
Of course, this kind of reason will not be put on the bright side, but Chen Yixin is not stupid, so he can naturally understand the good intentions of the bosses.So even though he didn't like dealing with civil affairs, he silently accepted the kindness.With the cooperation of Ma Dongqiang and others, Chen Yixin built a new two-entry yard near Ma's house in Majiazhuang at his own expense, as a love nest for the young couple.In addition, a small two-story building was built outside Majiazhuang as a place for Chen Yixin to handle his daily business.
The land and manpower were naturally organized by the Ma family. Chen Yixin used his own power to recruit two construction foremen from Zhifu Island, and took the ready-made villa blueprints from the construction library to direct the construction.Although it is impossible to configure the building materials and decorations according to Haihan's original configuration, the Ma family also found better materials for construction within the scope of their ability.
It took only four months from the two getting married at the end of last year to the completion of the new house and the occupancy. Considering the local situation, this efficiency is quite good.However, this kind of arrangement, no matter how you look at it, is Chen Yixin's intention to step in the door, so in order to take into account his personal and Haihan's face, the wedding banquet was held on Zhifu Island.Three days after the banquet, the young couple moved from Zhifu Island to live in Majiazhuang, and moved Chen Yixin's office to Majiazhuang by the way.
In order to maintain superficial peace with Daming, although Haihan has already occupied areas such as Zhifu Island and Fushan Copper Mine, he intentionally did not make any move on the Fushan County under his nose, and still let Zhang Pucheng sit peacefully. Be his magistrate in the county seat.The local personnel circulation and trade exchanges have also slowly returned to an open state since this year.Although the Fushan County Government is well aware that Haihan is constantly recruiting immigrants from the local area to go south, under the current situation, neither Zhang Pucheng nor the adults in Dengzhou City are willing to openly quarrel with Haihan again for this kind of thing. fall out.
Chen Yixin and Zhang Pucheng keep meeting once every two weeks, and the two sides have changed from being wary of each other at first, to now they can sit down, drink tea and have a meal, and communicate in a more relaxed way.If it was seen by an uninformed person, it probably would not have thought that this was the scene of a transaction between the intruder and the local officials.
Of course, this kind of relationship is not as strong as that between the southern government and Haihan. Haihan has never notified the government in advance of all the actions that Haihan has implemented in the local area. He is only blindly advancing the occupation plan gradually according to his own rhythm.On the other hand, Daming tried to use force to expel them last year, but the result was disastrous. After the troops who attacked the Fushan Copper Mine returned to Dengzhou, there were no other military operations against Haihan.Since the most direct means of force did not work, the local government was basically in a state of daring to speak out during the following period.As long as the Haihan people did not attack the cities and counties of the prefectures, the local government would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to Haihan's occupation of the coastal areas of Dengzhou.
However, Zhang Pucheng's situation was better than that of Dengzhou. He wisely did not adopt rigid resistance measures against Haihan, and even cooperated to some extent when Haihan's army wiped out the local bandits.This also brought him Haihan's goodwill and considerable economic benefits, which were not available to the previously reckless Dengzhou side at the current stage.
In return for these sacrifices, Haihan is an autonomous region that has been "recognized" by the local government of Daming.This area includes the area between Zhifu Island and Qishanbao in the south, the area on both sides of the Jiahe River including Majiabao, and the area where the Fushan Copper Mine is located.In these areas, everyone, things, and things are only subject to Haihan's jurisdiction, but Haihan will verbally admit that the ownership of these areas still belongs to Daming.
Of course, this area actually ruled by Hai Han did not have any written contract, and the Fushan County Government only acquiesced to this situation after negotiating the conditions.But this is enough for Haihan, because in the southern coastal areas, Haihan has already occupied many lands and islands that still belong to Ming Dynasty in theory, and the so-called right of ownership will not hinder Haihan's actual control over these areas .It is more convenient to keep the local government of Ming Dynasty. After all, this area is still the territory of Ming Dynasty, and the official signboard of Haihan is not as easy to use as the government of Ming Dynasty in many cases.
For example, in the "Fushan District Management Committee" that Chen Yixin is in charge of, few people buy into this signboard. Many foreign merchants who come to Fushan County to trade with Haihan still habitually ask for help when they encounter troubles. Yu Fushan County Government.Of course, the Fushan County Government will mostly hold the attitude that more things are worse than less things, push the person involved back, and ask him to go to Majiabao to find the Haihan Management Committee to solve the problem.
Chen Yixin encountered such a situation again today. Because of the heavy rain in the past few days, a batch of medicinal materials shipped to Haihan was soaked in water on the way. If it affects the properties of the medicine, it is natural to refuse to accept the goods.The medicinal material merchant was worried that he would lose all his money, so he went to the Fushan county government to sue the Haihan people for not following the contract.But Zhang Pucheng, the county magistrate, had read the complaint and knew that the Haihan people were involved in the matter, so he didn't want to get involved.
So the medicine merchant came to Majiabao early in the morning, found the person in charge, Chen Yixin, and negotiated with him about the execution of the contract.Both sides insisted on their opinions and refused to make concessions.Chen Yixin wanted to get angry, but knowing that there were other people queuing up outside the office to do business, he still had to take Hai Han's image into consideration, so he could only continue arguing with the other party patiently.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Haihan will encounter some similar troubles when he conducts local trading activities.And Chen Yixin, as an official in charge of trade affairs, had to face such disputes frequently.If it was in the military, Chen Yixin would be too lazy to explain the facts to others, but now he has to hold back his temper and slowly deal with these profiteering merchants.
After finally making it to noon, Chen Yixin finally got a chance to rest.Of course, the meals at home can be prepared and sent to his office, but he will not eat in the office at noon, because he will only be surrounded by people who come to work, and he will not be able to eat at all.So if there is no invitation for entertainment, he will go home for dinner. Anyway, his home is in Majiazhuang, which cannot be closer, and he can walk there within a hundred steps.Of course, there is another important reason, that is, he really wants to go back to see the smart and lovely lady at home after exhausting work, so as to relieve his mood.
Although the meeting between the two was the fate of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, the process of getting acquainted was quite a coincidence, and it could barely touch the edge of free love.The most wonderful thing is that the two of them knew each other's true identity only after they developed a relationship. This happened to avoid the arranged marriage that Chen Yixin had been quite resistant to, and finally they were able to get together and become a family.
Chen Yixin was ten years older than Ma Yuling. When the two got married this year, Ma Yuling had just turned seventeen.In this era, it is normal for a 17-year-old girl to get married, but in Chen Yixin's view, Ms. Ma should be a high school student at this age, so she got married a little earlier.Therefore, after the two got married, Chen Yixin not only cared for his little lady in every possible way, but also constantly taught her some knowledge of nature and humanities.What Chen Yixin wants is not only a spouse who will carry on the family line, he also hopes to have some common topics with Ma Yuling, so that the other party can understand himself more deeply and understand what kind of Haihan Kingdom she will join in the future. exist.
Ma Yuling's age is undoubtedly an advantage. There is still time to learn many things from now on. In addition, she also has a certain cultural foundation, so there is no obstacle to reading and literacy.Therefore, Chen Yixin is quite confident in transforming Ma Yuling's thinking and cultural level, and believes that after a few years of training, Ma Yuling should be able to get used to the lifestyle brought by the time traveler.
When Chen Yixin returned home, he asked the housekeeper to prepare dinner.Ma Yuling received the notice from the servants, and quickly came out from the backyard, and said to Chen Yixin, "My husband is back." However, she was wearing a Haihan style long skirt that Chen Yixin asked someone to bring from Sanya. It's not the dress that women of Ming Dynasty usually wear, so it seems a little unharmonious to do such an action.
Chen Yixin nodded and said, "Have you finished your homework today?"
Ma Yuling said angrily: "My husband has assigned too much homework, how can I finish it in one morning!"
Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Then eat first, and then do it slowly in the afternoon."
Lunch is a soup with three meat dishes, two vegetables, and dessert fruit after the meal, which is a hearty meal for two people.But Ma Yuling did not buy this table of food. When Chen Yixin moved to Majiabao, he brought not only the guards, but also the cook. Naturally, the daily meals were all according to Haihan's taste.The reason why he didn’t do as the Romans do is because Chen Yixin was born in Fujian, and he prefers Haihan dishes with southern tastes, and secondly, he also considered that he would definitely move his family to the south in the future, so that Ma Yuling could enjoy it earlier. It is also good to adapt to Haihan's diet.
After eating, Ma Yuling got up and made a pot of hot tea for Chen Yixin.Although Chen Yixin is from Fujian, he likes to drink Pu'er tea from Yunnan.But this thing is not sold in Dengzhou at all, and only high-ranking officials like Chen Yixin can enjoy this kind of good thing that was specially transported from the south.Even the purple sand teapot used for making tea is a customized version made by a famous teacher in Yixing, Jiangsu.
When Chen Yixin was in the army, he didn't pay much attention to these details of life, but after getting married, he suddenly felt that it was not bad to live such an upstart life. A good quality of life can indeed improve his mood and reduce work pressure.
