Chapter 1394 Little Waves
Ma Bo's faltering and concealment can only make Liu Shang think of his real purpose faster.And if the shady messenger in the backyard heard this flawed statement, he would be furious on the spot and scold Ma Bo bloody.That person did everything possible to buy Liu Shang, but what he did was to avoid making a fuss and startle the snake. He didn't really need Liu Shang to do anything for him, but in order to let those people get away, Ma Bo thought of sending Liu Shang out first. Using this stupid method for a few days has completely exposed his true purpose.

Ma Bo thought that Liu Shang knew nothing, and he refused the benefits he gave out of caution, but Liu Shang's understanding of the situation was far beyond his imagination, and he immediately thought of why he proposed such an unreasonable proposal. Require.But at this juncture, of course he will not show his cards.

Liu Shang was silent for a moment before saying: "I haven't finished the work at hand, you give me another three days."

"Half a day." Ma Bo was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he immediately counter-offered: "You pack up tomorrow and go back to Zhifu Island first!"

"One day." Liu Shang was also mentally prepared for Ma Bo's counter-offer: "I have to spend time writing a work summary."

This time, Ma Bo didn't make any further counter-offers. He thought that he had already taken the initiative, and there was no need to force Liu Shang to submit to such details.As long as the goal is achieved on this issue, Ma Bo doesn't want to really turn against Liu Shang.

"You take this money, it's right as a deposit for our cooperation." Ma Bo stood up, pushed the stack of banknotes on the table back to Liu Shang, and then went out without waiting for his reaction. up.

Liu Shang didn't get up to see him off, but just stared at the stack of banknotes on the table and muttered to himself, "You forced me to do this..."

The intrigue between Liu Shang and Ma Bo is just a conflict between small people. No matter who wins or loses, it is impossible to have a fundamental impact on the situation in the Haihan occupied area.The waves they can stir up are only within a very small range, and they may have dissipated without being noticed at all.

While Ma Bo was trying to blackmail Liu Shang, Chen Yixin was still working overtime in his office.Although the Haihan garrison is gradually handing over civil affairs to the cadres going north, it is impossible for him to hand over all the work in his hand immediately.Especially for some industries that are closely related to the military, the work handover process is relatively slow.

If the efficiency of the army is used, the handover process of most of the work may not be delayed for more than five days, and there will be slow progress. More or less, the will of the military is actually at work.

Immigration affairs in the Shandong occupied area has always been a key industry controlled by the military. Not only does it involve security issues, but it is also one of the main channels for the military to obtain soldiers from the north.In addition to the reason that northerners are physically stronger than southerners, people of local origin are more adaptable to the climate and environment in Northeast Asia, which is also an important reason why the military must vigorously recruit young and strong northerners into the army.Although Qian Tiandun's special warfare battalion performed very well in the battle between Liaodong and the Houjin army, in fact, this army mainly composed of southerners did not adapt well to Liaodong, and the injury status was not optimistic.

The most common afflictions were frostbite and colds, the latter of which was quite contagious.Although the Haihan military has been well prepared in terms of logistics, and has prepared clothing and heating methods for all officers and soldiers to survive the winter, the severe cold in the Liaodong area still caught the inexperienced troops off guard.After receiving the news, the Zhifu Island base could only organize medicines and doctors as soon as possible, and send them across the sea to Lushun to treat the wounded and sick. Some officers and soldiers with more serious conditions even had to be withdrawn from Liaodong.

In view of this situation, the military's desire for northern soldiers is even stronger.At present, in addition to Shandong, the Han refugees on Phi Island in Liaodong are also transported to the south through Zhifu Island. Therefore, after the military controls the front-line immigration channels, it can easily select those youths who are suitable for serving in the army. He was strong, and he was lured into the army with favorable treatment.But if all the immigration affairs were handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it would be very difficult for the military to select first-hand sources of soldiers from Shandong, if they were recruited through regular channels.

Of course, whether or not to hand over the control is actually at the discretion of the military, and the opinion of Fort Victory can only be used as a reference.The opinions of high-level generals are also more inclined to continue to let the military take charge of immigration affairs, and only let cadres from the north to participate in the management as auxiliary personnel, so that the military can effectively continue the control of immigration resources.After Haihan has established a firm foothold in the Liaodong area and can start to absorb the Liaodong Han people, the immigration affairs in Shandong will be completely handed over to the civil affairs department.But at this time, the military officer in charge of immigration affairs on Zhifu Island had an accident, and the military suddenly fell into a very passive situation.

Because the scandal broke out in the immigration work, the military is now at the wrong side. If they want to continue to control the control of immigration affairs, in addition to dealing with the offenders as soon as possible and giving Fort Victory an explanation, they must have sufficient reasons to prove The local situation is not safe enough to hand over the relevant work to the civil affairs department.In addition, the military does not want the Ministry of Security to intervene directly, because this may make the situation more complicated, which is not necessarily beneficial to the military.

Regarding the possible problems in the Majiazhuang immigration camp, the Ministry of Security has already warned Chen Yixin and asked the military to cooperate with the investigation. However, out of more realistic considerations, Chen Yixin has been delaying for various reasons to give the Ministry of Security a clear answer. reply.But this does not mean that Chen Yixin intends to protect anyone from it, he is just waiting for a more suitable time to close the net.However, Chen Yixin didn't have a clear prediction about what kind of harvest he would get from the big net he had set up.He only knew that Daming must have sent people to lurk in the Majiazhuang immigrant camp, and that his cheap brother-in-law's butt was not very clean, but he was not so clear about the specific situation.

But this is not a big deal for Chen Yixin, he won't worry about slipping through because he has too little information, because he doesn't intend to leave a loophole for anyone to get out.The big deal is that it will take a little more work to identify the identity afterwards, but as long as they enter the immigration camp, no, as long as they enter the range of Majiazhuang, none of the Daming spies can get out.

During this period, Chen Yixin wanted to weave the net as densely and as wide as possible to ensure that the subsequent arrests would be foolproof.Only after obtaining real evidence can the military use "safety" as an irrefutable reason to postpone the handover to the civil affairs department and continue to control local immigration affairs in its own hands.

Although it may seem selfish to do so, from the perspective of the military, Chen Yixin believes that this is already the most beneficial arrangement for the local situation.The situation in the Shandong-occupied area is different from other overseas colonies. It directly borders Daming instead of being an island separated by an ocean.The connection between the society here and Daming cannot be completely cut off by the border of the occupied area, not to mention that Haihan needs to absorb people from Daming and start trade with Daming, so maintaining the authority of Haihan’s rule here is also a matter of course. It is even more difficult. It is far from possible to completely eliminate the influence of the Ming Dynasty for more than [-] years in just over a year.

Since it is impossible to use the natural geographical environment as a security barrier like other colonies, the military must control the channels of personnel and materials entering and leaving the occupied area to a certain extent.When to hand over these control rights to the corresponding government departments depends on the objective situation. Even the Fort Victory cannot dictate Shandong affairs at will. At most, it will give some non-mandatory orders, such as Let the Shandong Garrison formulate a timetable for power transfer to ensure that related work can continue to be promoted.

And as long as the military can prove to Fort Victory that Ming has not given up its plan to retake this area, and is still taking overt and covert actions to disrupt the stability of the occupied area, then the garrison will have reason to continue to control what they think exists. Department of safety hazards.

To Chen Yixin, it doesn't really matter how many Ming spies lurk in the Majiazhuang immigrant camp, it doesn't matter if there are one or ten, as long as they can be caught alive and prove their identities.Of course, it would be best if we could catch some people with status and follow the clues to completely destroy the local intelligence network deployed by Daming.

Chen Yixin also knew that if he cooperated with the Ministry of Security, the job would be much easier. After all, the Ministry of Security had a better understanding of the operation methods of his counterparts in Ming Dynasty and had more experience in anti-espionage, but the military cannot rely on security at this juncture. The Ministry of Security-the Ministry of Security has no idea about the supervision of special circulation channels such as immigration and trade.It's just that Hao Wanqing is more introverted and not as tough as He Xi. Up to now, he has only tactfully asked the military to assist in the investigation, instead of sending people into these units in charge of the military to participate in the supervision work.But if there are any other flaws in the military, Chen Yixin believes that Minister Hao, who rarely shows up, will not be willing to observe secretly behind the scenes.

"It would be great if I could find a way to get an expert to come over." Chen Yixin rubbed his brows, feeling that although the plan he made had no obvious loopholes, it was a little less purposeful after all. It would be easier if there were professionals to guide him. Much more, don't make too much battle.It's a pity that the staff here can only formulate battle plans, but their professionalism in the field of espionage work is not very satisfactory. They also have no simple and effective means for Ming spies who may be lurking under their noses.

Chen Yixin has already greeted Zhifu Island. Tomorrow, an army company and a militia company will be transferred to Majiazhuang, and then the net here can be pulled up.Naturally, it is impossible to hide such a big movement from everyone, so Chen Yixin is also considering whether to use the name of military exercises or troop defenses to explain the situation of facing an enemy to the local people, so as not to cause too much uneasiness among the people .

Of course, in addition to this, he had to explain to his father-in-law why he also arrested Ma Bo, who was in charge of the operation of the immigration camp.But at this time, Chen Yixin hadn't thought that his cheap brother-in-law's collusion with Daming's intelligence department was so deep that it was far from a simple money relationship.

If Chen Yixin wanted to return to the army to lead troops, at least he had to deal with this mess first, so even though it took some trouble, he still had to try his best to fulfill his responsibilities.

He got up and went to the window, pushed the window open a crack, and lit a cigarette.Majiazhuang outside the window is brightly lit. With the increase in the flow of people and goods, this place is no longer the village where the lights are turned off after nightfall.With Haihan's deliberate support, the service industry has developed rapidly in the local area. Many people have started businesses such as restaurants and hotels, and industries related to transportation and commerce have also quickly caught up.There are now three chariot and horse shops in Majiazhuang, and this has led to the development of supporting industries such as woodworking, blacksmithing, and animal husbandry.Some foreign merchants began to rent houses or land to build houses here, set up commercial warehouses, opened shops, and started business by taking advantage of the transit location here.

Of course, there is a category of people that cannot be seen here, and that is beggars.All homeless people begging for food in the Haihan-controlled area, regardless of whether they wanted to or not, were taken into immigration camps, and then joined the stone-breaking team.In the area occupied by Haihan, beggars are a completely banned occupation. The benefits of this measure for improving the level of public security in the area have already been proven in practice during the expansion of Haihan over the years.

The flow of people and goods has brought wealth to Majiazhuang, but at the same time it has also brought various people who will cause trouble. Chen Yixin squinted in the smoke and looked at Majiazhuang in the night, and suddenly remembered something in his heart. matter, and then called the secretary Zeng Xiaowen in.

"I arranged for the officer surnamed Liu in the immigration camp. You can find a reason to transfer him away tomorrow." Chen Yixin ordered: "Don't show too much, just find an errand and let him go back to Zhifu Island for two days. .”

Zeng Xiaowen immediately complied, and he also knew that his boss was going to do something in the immigration camp. The transfer of Liu Shang at this juncture was naturally out of consideration for his protection.As for the reasons, Zeng Xiaowen could think of a few immediately, which is not a difficult problem.

Chen Yixin went on to say: "Wait and see what's new in the suggestion box, bring it for me to have a look."

The military has set up a suggestion box inside and outside the village to receive the opinions of the people, so that many things do not require people to line up outside Chen Yixin's office to complain.Zeng Xiaowen would open the box every two days to retrieve the contents.Of course, not all opinions and suggestions are put into the suggestion box. Occasionally, there will be some informant letters mixed in during the period, and this is naturally one of the purposes for the military to set up the suggestion box.
