Chapter 1916
Zhang Qianzhi had followed He Xi for many years, so he naturally knew which words he said were jokes and which words were serious deployment work.In fact, even if He Xi didn't take the initiative to mention this matter, Zhang Qianzhi would pay attention to observe the words and deeds of the son of Joseon during the itinerary. This has nothing to do with the mission, it's just a professional habit developed over the years.
Although the other party's status is noble, it will not pose any pressure to Zhang Qianzhi. The special nature of his work has made him a member of the privileged class of Haihan Kingdom early on, and he is used to seeing all kinds of powerful people.Foreign dignitaries like Li Luo are nothing more than the target of the mission in his eyes.However, since the Executive Committee attached great importance to him, Zhang Qianzhi would naturally put more thought on Li Lu in the future, and study what this person needs special attention.
Whether it is He Xi or Zhang Qianzhi, they all think that this errand is nothing more than ordinary. After all, North Korea has a good relationship with Haihan now, and there are no hostile countries in the South China Sea. In theory, there will be no problems with this trip, at most That said, unpredictable weather conditions can add to the chaos.However, when important people travel, they will keep the near-shore route. Even if the weather is not good, the fleet will find a place to stop nearby to avoid the wind and rain, so as not to cause major troubles.
After He Xi finished talking, he released Zhang Qianzhi from get off work and asked him to go home early to clean up.Although Zhang Qianzhi thought he didn't have much luggage to pack, he would not refuse the arrangement to leave work early.However, he didn't intend to be idle. After leaving the security department, he went straight to the city library, trying to find information related to spice crops to make up for himself.Although the spice case didn't seem to cause any serious harm at the moment, Zhang Qianzhi still wanted to learn more about his professional knowledge, and maybe he could find some clues that hadn't been noticed before.
Of course, you can also go to a knowledgeable person for consultation on this knowledge. The shopkeeper of any spice shop in Shengli Harbor is qualified to be his teacher. I just heard someone say it once, and I'm afraid I've forgotten it before I got back from this round-the-island trip.
Sometimes it was such a coincidence that when Zhang Qianzhi arrived at the library, he saw the North Korean envoy Li Xi at the reception.Before that, he had dealt with Li Xi a few times because of official business, and he was considered acquainted, but Zhang Qianzhi was not in a hurry to go up to say hello, because he noticed that there was a fair-skinned young man beside Li Xi, followed by two Followers, their identity should be self-evident.
"I didn't expect to see the Lord so soon."
Zhang Qianzhi hadn't met Li Min who had just arrived in Sanya for a few days before this, but he deduced immediately that the strange face he saw was Li Min.
As for why Li Lu appeared in this place, Zhang Qianzhi is not surprised. Generally, foreigners who come to Sanya to study abroad will come to take a look curiously after knowing the library, and there are many of them who have a strong thirst for knowledge. Since then, people have regarded the library as half of their home and come here to report every day.Li Xi had been in Haihan for a year as an envoy from North Korea, so he naturally knew the significance of the library, so it was reasonable to bring Li Min here for a stroll.
Li Xi noticed Zhang Qianzhi's arrival first, and took the initiative to say hello, and introduced Li Lu to him.Hearing that the person who came was an official from the Ministry of Security, Li Wei did not dare to neglect him. He had heard Li Xi introduce the situation of this special yamen before, and he knew that its functions were similar to those of Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei, except that one was loyal to the emperor and the other One is allegiance to the Executive Committee.
"It's great to see Your Excellency here, so that we won't be too awkward when we meet tomorrow." Zhang Qianzhi greeted Li Wei with a smile on his face.
"So Mr. Zhang is going to set off with us tomorrow? It's a coincidence!" Li Wei glanced at Li Xi while responding, and said that the name Zhang Qianzhi didn't seem to be on the list of officials accompanying Haihan that he saw today. .
Li Xi didn't know what was going on, but since Zhang Qianzhi was an official of the Haihan Security Department, everything was possible.He heard that this organization has great authority, and he was accompanied by personnel from the Ministry of Security during his past trips out of Sanya. This must be Haihan's usual practice.The list sent before did not include the names of officials from the Ministry of Security, perhaps it was just that Hai Han hadn't confirmed the candidate yet.
Li Xi's guess is indeed not far from the truth. Zhang Qianzhi knew that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may not have had time to include himself in the list of North Koreans after hearing Li Wei's words, otherwise the other party would not be so rude to say that they did not know about the matter. , and immediately took the initiative to explain: "I also received this errand temporarily at noon today, but I didn't expect to meet the prince so soon!"
The two sides exchanged some pleasantries, and Zhang Qianzhi took the initiative to leave. After all, the library is not a place suitable for socializing. Chatting here can easily attract the attention of others, and Zhang Qianzhi himself is not a person who likes to show his face.Li Xi also wanted to ask him to have dinner with him, but Zhang Qianzhi also declined, because the nature of his work is not suitable for establishing personal relationships with foreign dignitaries, and this kind of social activities are generally pushed or pushed.
Zhang Qianzhi borrowed two books related to spices and geography, and left the library to go home.For him, the task of accompanying the son of Joseon to inspect and investigate is not as important as the case at hand.And if you show interest in it immediately, it may not be so easy to observe a real Li Lu during this trip.
Li Luo and Li Xi continued to stay in the library. The reason they came here was that Li Luo had some questions in the process of reading "The Rise of the South China Sea", and it was difficult for Li Xi to give a clear answer to this, but Li Xi Knowing that the Haihan Library might have the answer Li Mo wanted to know, so I brought him here.
Of course, North Korea also has a similar collection of books. There is a royal library in Gyeongbokgung Palace, which has collected more than [-] volumes of various books from all dynasties—of course, these books are basically from China.However, compared with the scale of the Sanya Municipal Library's collection, it really pales in comparison.Moreover, a considerable part of the book collection here is unique to Haihan Kingdom, and it is not a commodity that can be bought anywhere.
"It seems that what you said is true, these Haihan people are not reckless warriors, but masters with profound knowledge!"
Standing in front of the huge bookshelf, looking at the shelves full of various books, Li Luo couldn't help expressing emotion.As far as the collection of books he saw in front of him, I am afraid that there are more than [-] books, and this is only an area open to the public to read. Those books that are more expensive and need to be borrowed after checking the titles in the catalog are collected. Deeper in the library.
Li Xiying said: "It is said that all kinds of knowledge of Haihan Kingdom can be found in this library, but there have been no people who are capable of self-taught. Even so, many people still come here to borrow books every day Books, I hope I can learn some special skills from them."
Li Lu said: "Then when you first arrived in Sanya, you should have often come here to pass the time, right?"
Li Xi nodded and admitted the other party's speculation: "The embassy was still under construction at the time, and it was inconvenient to handle official business. I would come here to read books when I had time. But there are many books here that require certain permissions to borrow, so I can only borrow them here. Read these relatively shallow reading materials in the public area next to it."
Li Xi is actually putting money on his face by saying this. Books that require higher borrowing authority generally have relatively strong professional content, and most of them are naturalized officials or technicians who come to borrow books, and books like him Even if foreigners can get it, they may not be able to understand the contents of the book.
This is just like when Li Luo went to visit the steam power system on the Majestic-class battleship. Even if he put the real thing in front of him and let him visit, he was still ignorant of its working principle after watching it.Of course, Li Wei will be able to use this experience to boast to those who don't know that he has insight into the internal structure and core secrets of the Haihan battleship. Anyway, it is difficult to verify the truth of this kind of thing.
Li Lu would not question what Li Xi said, because Li Xi knew Haihan far better than himself, and he seemed to be quite familiar with this library, so he just listened to his arrangements.
The reason why Li Mo came to the library was to look up the geography, humanities and international situation of the South China Sea region.He recently read "The Rise of the South China Sea" and noticed that many of Haihan's military operations were carried out in the South China Sea area. Although this area is quite far away from North Korea, it is not guaranteed that North Korea will participate in the international affairs here in a few years. During communication.After all, among the coalition forces that sent troops to North Korea to participate in the war this year, the troops of Annan and Portugal actually came from the South China Sea region. They can fight across regions, so North Korea may send troops to participate in the war in the South China Sea region in the future.
Out of this bold idea, Li Mo thought it was necessary to learn about the situation in the South China Sea in advance.There are envoys stationed in Sanya from various countries in the South China Sea. First, I have a basic understanding of international relations. Only then can I know which countries to maintain friendly diplomatic relations with during my study in Haihan.
Li Xi also agrees with Li Min's idea very much. The two sets of military and trade systems established by Haihan in the South China Sea region are the goals he envies after he understands them. Although North Korea is not a country in this region, if it can integrate into the Both systems will also benefit greatly.If Li Nao is willing to come forward to organize diplomatic work as the son of North Korea, the effect will obviously be better, and it will be easier to be recognized by Haihan and regional countries.
After some selection, Li Xi still found two books for Li Min in the public reading area that were more suitable for solving his problems.One is "The History of the South China Sea" published by the Danzhou Literature and History Research Institute last year. This book not only records the historical evolution of the South China Sea region and the grievances and grievances among countries, but also has more detailed geographical illustrations in each chapter of the book , can more intuitively understand the description in the book.
It is worth mentioning that the editor-in-chief of this book, Yan Mingjun, is a former Ming official who surrendered Haihan, and now he is also writing books and writing stories, sparing no effort to find historical textual research for Haihan's various actions in the South China Sea.All records related to the Han people can be used as a footnote for Haihan's actions, as if Haihan is regarded as the orthodoxy of the Han regime.Haihan officials also appreciated this very much, and specially included this book in the Sanya Municipal Library, and opened it to everyone as a public reading material.For the literati of Haihan Kingdom, this can be regarded as a special honor.
The title of the other book is "Calendar of Wars in the South China Sea", which was also compiled by folk literati. The content is simpler than the previous one. It is the various wars, large and small, that Haihan has waged in the South China Sea over the years.From the initial Annan Civil War to the Battle of Manila at the beginning of this year, all are included in the book, and the war process is based on official public information and relevant reports on official media.
However, the wars included in this book are not complete. At most, they are wars that "officially recognized by Haihan". Cause will not admit that it happened, or continue to hide some aspects of it from the public.
For example, in 1630, Haihan wrote, directed and acted in Qiongbei to kill pirates. Although Daming gradually learned that the whole thing was a conspiracy formulated by Haihan to annex Hainan Island, Haihan would not take the initiative to admit it. Da Ming never had enough evidence to testify against Hai Han.There was also the battle for Amberna Island in 1631. At the beginning, Haihan took the initiative to send troops to raid and wiped out the Dutch armed forces on the island. When the Netherlands sent troops again to retake the island, Haihan claimed that pirates had previously occupied the island. Island, he just sent troops to drive away the pirates, and used force to expel the Dutch fleet again, bringing the island under his own rule.Haihan has not admitted to sending troops to raid the Ambuna Island so far, making the Dutch dumb and unable to express their suffering.
This actually fits well with the concept that "history is written by the victors". As a war victor, Haihan will naturally try to beautify his behavior in various written records after the war.It's not just official institutions that process it in this way, but folk books also require the same.In the eyes of an outsider like Li Luo, these accounts basically have no flaws, and they are completely understood as historical facts.
However, the content of this kind of book involves many countries, and it will be difficult for Li Min to fully digest it for a while. Fortunately, Li Xi is quite experienced in this, so he has people ready with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Transcribe on paper the information you find valuable.
An hour later, Li Wei raised his head, rubbed his sore eyes, and said to Li Xi, "If the enemy chieftain Taiji had read these two books earlier, he might have given up the idea of fighting against Hai Han."
