Chapter 1843 New Positions
Fu Li was well aware of the reason why he was transferred overseas. After all, there were such big loopholes in the security work of important events at that time, and he, as the official in charge, must bear corresponding responsibilities.Fortunately, remedial measures were taken in time, and no major disturbances occurred, otherwise it would be easy to lose the official position.
When he was transferred to North Korea to work, Fu Li had more or less a mentality of making up for his mistakes, and he had already thought about keeping a low profile so that no one would ask him why he was transferred from Sanya to overseas.However, after meeting Liu Shang, the other party didn't mention the reason for his transfer, which made Fu Li feel more comfortable. He thought that Liu Shang was discovered from the market by the officials of the propaganda department, and then he was found out in just a few months. Afterwards, he was promoted to the Youth League, and later sent to the north to serve. Sure enough, he has some skills in dealing with people.
Fu Li was originally born in Li, and he has a straight temper and is not too thoughtful. Now this little city mansion was slowly raised after becoming an official in recent years. After Liu Shang's behavior made him feel good, he didn't care much No longer keep a reserved attitude towards it, and immediately exchange cups and cups, it is very enjoyable, and it really feels like a reunion of acquaintances and friends in a foreign land.
Although due to the environmental conditions, the food and drink at the Fengfeng Banquet is not rich, and it can even be said to be a bit simple, far inferior to the restaurants and restaurants in downtown Sanya that Fu Li is familiar with, but the warm atmosphere during the banquet successfully eliminated the feeling of the food he just had. Anxiety in unfamiliar surroundings.Even though he didn't know much about the details of the Datongjiang base, Fu Li already felt that it was a wise decision for him to choose to serve in North Korea earlier.
The host and guest had a good time that night, and nothing happened all night.When Fu Li woke up the next day, he found that someone was already waiting outside the house, saying that he had to report to work.He also met this person at the dinner last night. He was a North Korean steward named Cui Ren, who was in charge of managing the camps where the North Korean migrant workers lived.The reason why Fu Li was so impressed with this person was not only that Cui Ren took the initiative to toast him several times, but also because Liu Shang specifically mentioned to him that this person was available.
What is an available person?According to Fu Li's understanding, one is to be loyal and obedient, and the other is to have certain talents.This Cui Ren is from North Korea, so it's too early to say how loyal he is, but his ability to read people's words is definitely not bad. He has just come here, and the work handover has not even officially started, so Cui Ren knows he is here to guard and flatter him.As for what to do, he believed that Liu Shang would not recommend a subordinate who was like a dead man, otherwise it would only appear that Liu Shang was blind and ignorant.
Fu Li's appointment in North Korea was inherently punitive, so he came alone without bringing his cronies and subordinates, so after arriving here, in addition to completing the work handover, another very urgent task is to build own team.Even if Liu Shang is willing to cooperate with him in handing over the existing civil affairs management agencies and personnel in the base, if he wants to work here for a long time, he must have some reliable "own people" after all.Now when someone comes here, someone takes the initiative to seek refuge, which can save him a lot of work.
As for the so-called work report, Fu Li didn't really take it seriously.Now that he has not completed the handover of work with Liu Shang, Cui Ren came here to report at this time, which is really against the rules, and he just wanted to find a reason to express his attitude to him.Fu Li was not a newcomer to the officialdom, so he could easily see Cui Ren's purpose.
"Guard Cui, since you are so free, can you take some more time today to take me around the base and introduce the local situation?" Since the other party came to the door, Fu Li wanted to borrow this If there is an opportunity, learn more about the Datongjiang Base.
Regarding the situation of the Datongjiang base, Fu Li only knew very little information before arriving here. For example, this is a piece of land requested by the military to North Korea. After the war, the garrison existed as a permanent military base.
According to Haihan, this military base is part of an alliance with North Korea to provide military aid. The purpose of setting up this military base is to better assist North Korea in resisting foreign enemies and establish a regional defense network against the Qing Dynasty.However, Fu Li is very aware of Haihan's overseas expansion methods, and knows that although this land currently exists in the name of a military base, after a few years, it will inevitably become like Haihan's other overseas military bases. into a colony ruled by Haihan.
At present, this place is still managed by the military, but now that a civil administration agency has been established, sooner or later all civil affairs will be handed over from the military to professional officials.The reason why he came here was to take over the work related to civil affairs from Liu Shang. The more he knew about this place, the better it would be for his future work.
Cui Ren had already received advice from Liu Shang before the banquet last night, and knew that this new young official would be his immediate boss for a period of time to come, so he was very active in wanting to show off.Now that Fu Li took the initiative to ask for it, he would naturally not refuse, and quickly agreed.
"My lord, please wait a moment, I will go and fetch a carriage!"
The Datongjiang base is quite large, and half a day may not be enough time to complete the inspection by walking. Cui Ren flattered him to the end, and immediately went to transfer a carriage.And Fu Li was used to all kinds of goodwill methods like this when he was in Sanya, and he didn't make any excuses at the moment.
Fu Li's residence is located on the east side of the Datong River base, next to a small lake with an area of tens of acres, and it can be regarded as one of the few places in the base with a relatively quiet environment.Almost all the civil and military officials in the base, including Qian Tiandun and others, lived near here. The distance from the Jiangan Wharf in the south and the defense line in the north was almost the same distance, and two roads were specially built to lead to these two important places.
"My lord, from here to the south is the port area, to the north is the defense line, and to the west is the barracks and the barracks where the common people live. Which area do you want to see?" Cui Ren asked for instructions.
"Let's go and see the defense line first!" When Fu Li was in Zhoushan, he heard that the Haihan Army defeated the offensive of tens of thousands of Qing troops with their backs on the Datong River. This is the first time I have come overseas, and I am still curious about this kind of large-scale combat battlefield, so I naturally want to take a look.As for entering the position, this is not a problem for him. The military will certainly not embarrass the officials from Sanya, not to mention that Liu Shang had already greeted several officers present during the banquet last night, asking them to give as much as possible The new Director Fu made it easier.
When the carriage they were riding was approaching the position, it was stopped by the sentinels on duty outside. According to the regulations in the base, non-military personnel must have written permission to enter and leave the position, or be arranged by the military.After Cui Ren took the initiative to reveal his identity, an officer soon came to verify the identity of Cui Ren and Fu Li.
Although the officer didn't know Fu Li, the identity verification process didn't take too long, and they were let go. The officer also specially sent two soldiers to accompany them to prevent them from getting lost in the position. The carriage could no longer pass.Of course, besides acting as a tour guide, there was also the intention of using this to monitor. After all, when Fu Li entered the position, he was accompanied by a North Korean.
In fact, it was not the first time that Cui Ren had entered this military restricted area. He had led a team here as a supervisor as early as when the northern front line was still under construction, and he had stayed here for quite a while.This time when he came here with Fu Li, he could still quickly tell which trench and which fort came from the construction team he led.
Because the Qing army had been driven away from the North Korean border at this time, there was currently no external threat at the Datongjiang base, so there were no troops stationed on the position, and only guard posts were set up in several places with higher terrain.Of course, ordinary civilians are still unable to enter and exit this military restricted area at will, but those who can enter here through the checkpoint can basically move freely in most areas of the position without restriction.
For Fu Li, who came to this kind of frontier position for the first time, the scene in front of him was quite visually shocking. The entire line of defense was several miles long, and the depth ranged from tens of meters to hundreds of meters. Nets, repelling horses, parapets, small bastions, forts, and battle trenches are intertwined. It is hard to imagine that such a large project was completed in just two or three months.
"Without this line of defense... your country would be in a more passive position!" Even Fu Li was well aware of his country's construction capabilities, so he had to marvel at the existence of this line of defense.
Cui Ren quickly responded: "Your Excellency is right. At that time, the Qing army's momentum to the south was irresistible. It all depended on Haihan who built this line of defense along the Datong River and drove the Qing army back to the north. If it weren't for this, the Datong River The land to the south may have fallen long ago! The preservation of the three thousand miles of our country depends on the heroic fighting of the Haihan Army!"
This made Fu Li very comfortable to hear, Hai Han played the role of savior overseas, and as a citizen, he was naturally very happy to hear the compliments from foreigners.Even though Haihan's aid to North Korea had a deeper and long-term strategic purpose, it did objectively protect the continuation of North Korea's state.And civilians like Cui Ren, after being sheltered by Haihan, don't have to worry about becoming the spoils of the Qing army and being taken back to the country to be distributed to soldiers who have made meritorious service as slaves.Although most of Cui Ren's words were flattery, they did reflect objective facts to a certain extent.
However, Cui Ren was only a supervisor after all, and his knowledge of military theory might not have much power, so naturally he couldn't explain to him the beauty of the design and use of this line of defense here.Fu Li secretly made a decision in his heart that when he was free, he must invite an officer who participated in the battle that day to explain the battle process to him on the spot.
It took Fu Li nearly two hours to visit the defensive position before leaving, and then Cui Ren led the way to the camp where the local people lived.Fu Li knew that this was the object of his future work, so he cheered up and began to ask for relevant information carefully on the road.
When Fu Li opened his mouth to ask, Cui Ren immediately knew that his new boss was not a layman who didn't know anything. If you don't speak clearly enough, you will be underestimated by your new boss.
At present, the camps in the base are mainly divided into three parts, the military camps, the Han camps, and the Korean camps.After several conflicts broke out between Han refugees and Korean civilian husbands in the early days, the headquarters adjusted the camp area, and arranged the general camp in the middle, separating the camp areas of Han and Korean people, so that the people of the two countries could be separated and reduced. Conflict probability, and can be dispatched in time to deal with various emergencies.
There were more than 6000 North Koreans in the base at the time, and there are still about 3000 people in the base. It is divided into two adjacent camps in the north and south, and each of the two large camps is divided into three small camps with 500 people. for ease of management.
At first, Cui Ren worked as a clerk in the camp, and was later promoted to be the steward of the small camp. Later, Liu Shang appreciated his ability and further promoted him to be the general manager of the southern camp.It is basically impossible for Cui Ren to want to go up, because the top leader in charge of managing the North Koreans in the base is an official sent by the North Korean government, and there are even big figures like Kim Sang-heon sitting in charge at the base, Cui Ren Little people without background have basically touched the ceiling.
Cui Ren could see very clearly that it would be very difficult for him to get promotion opportunities in this place, unless he left North Korea and became a Haihan nationality—the number of Haihan civil affairs officials stationed here is extremely limited, and there are far more vacancies than in the North Korean camp much.And to do this, the quickest and most effective way is to build a good relationship with Haihan officials, especially his immediate superior, because according to what he has learned about the immigration policy, the official in charge of this matter should be his own in the future. New boss.
If you just know how to flatter, it is definitely not enough to win the appreciation of the new boss. Liu Shang has already pointed out to him the basic principles of Haihan's employment, one is loyalty, and the other is talent. No matter how good the personal relationship is, you still have to consider these in the end two standards.He has to seize the opportunity now and show his talents as much as possible in front of his new boss.
And Fu Li raised some professional questions to Cui Ren. While collecting information, he did not fail to test Cui Ren's intentions.If this guy only knows how to flirt, then at most he will be kept as an errand in the future, but if he is really available as Liu Shang said, Fu Li is not afraid to absorb this North Korean into his command.As for issues such as immigration and nationality, he has more authority than Liu Shang, and he can handle special matters when necessary.
What Fu Li wants to know now is the current population composition of the North Korean people in the base, the arrangement of labor tasks, the distribution of living materials, and the attitude of North Korean officials towards the question of whether these people will stay or not.He has not met with North Korean officials yet, so he plans to learn about the true thoughts of these North Korean laborers from Cui Ren.
