How to support a group of wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who are close to Haihan and even loyal to Haihan in Daming? There have been many successful and failed cases in these years. There are positive examples such as Li Jifeng and Xu Xinsu who have achieved huge gains, and some of them have invested all their efforts. The situation of flooding occurred.According to the experience accumulated in the past, the richer and more powerful the target, the more difficult it is to win over. Therefore, although the executive committee agrees with Shi Diwen's approach of joining forces with some Yangzhou salt merchants in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, it is not particularly optimistic. Regarding the prospect of cooperation, Tao Donglai reminded Shi Diwen that he should be careful about cooperation and not have too high expectations for the future position of Yangzhou salt merchants.
"The meaning of the executive committee is that it still hopes to use the limited resources to train naturalized personnel as much as possible, especially in the military field. The training content provided to the outside world must be cautious." Tao Donglai pointed to Shi Diwen several times. He believed that this was enough for the other party to understand what he meant.
Shi Diwen knew that most of what he did in Zhoushan could not be hidden from the executive committee. After all, the yamen of the Ministry of Security was directly responsible to the executive committee. No matter what news the spies had, they would report to Sanya. The executive committee should also be very clear about the kind of military training provided by the children of salt merchants.However, he didn't think he had done anything beyond the rules, so he didn't feel that Tao Donglai's reminder was aimed at him.
"It will take a day to arrange an appointment with the prefect of Qu. Why don't we go around the island tomorrow? For the training issues that the executive committee cares about, Mr. Tao can also go to the site to see the actual situation." Shi Diwen didn't immediately Justifying myself, but suggesting another, better solution.The so-called seeing is believing, I invite Tao Donglai to see for himself how foreign personnel are trained here.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Tao Donglai also had the same intention, and agreed immediately.
The two drank tea for a while, Tao Donglai got up and said goodbye to Shi Diwen.Shi Diwen knew that he was exhausted all the way, so he didn't hold back much, so he personally sent Tao Donglai to live in the side room of Kuayuan.
It is not that there are no official guest houses in Zhoushan, but the living conditions are definitely not comparable to Shi Diwen's private house, and considering that Tao Donglai's itinerary is kept secret, it is inconvenient to live outside, so he simply arranged for Tao Donglai to live in his own home Well, anyway, his private house is quite big, even if all the bigwigs from the Executive Committee arrive, they can easily arrange to live there.
Although it was only across the courtyard, the facilities were all available. Tao Donglai took a hot bath in the bathtub, lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Shi Diwen came to Kuayuan to have breakfast with Tao Donglai, and then went out by car.The first destination that Shi Diwen arranged for Tao Donglai was the military base on the island.
After more than five years of construction, the military base on Zhoushan Island with the military port as the core has already acquired a considerable scale.The East China Sea Fleet, which has more than 40 combat ships and almost the same number of logistics ships, uses this as its home port. In addition to various warehouses and dock facilities, there is also a shipyard with four large docks near the port, which is responsible for naval warships. construction, repair and maintenance.
Adjacent to the military port is a camp covering an area of more than four square kilometers.In this area, there are not only barracks, canteens, training grounds, shooting ranges, arsenals, command organizations, family quarters, etc. of the garrison troops, but also supporting institutions such as carpentry workshops, small machinery factories, schools, hospitals, banks, etc. It is a complete small society.
Among the overseas colonies north of Hainan Island, the Datongjiang base is larger than here, but its hardware facilities are far inferior to Zhoushan.Although Jinzhou in eastern Liaodong is a war zone, the Lushun military port is quite far from the Nanguanling camp where the army is stationed, and it is not as compact as Zhoushan.Zhifu Island, Penghu, Hong Kong and other places do not have the conditions and needs to set up large-scale military bases, and naturally there is a certain gap with Zhoushan.Counting it down in detail, the importance of the Zhoushan base can be seen.
Of course, the scale and complete living facilities of Zhoushan Military Port are inseparable from the prosperous local trade environment.Today, at least [-]% to [-]% of the cross-border trade in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is completed in Zhoushan, and more than half of them are settled and delivered through Haihan’s financial institutions. The benefits that the Zhoushan authorities can obtain from it are even far It exceeded the taxes that Daming collected from this region into the national treasury.
"Mr. Tao, to tell you the truth, about one-third of Zhoushan's annual budget is spent on this military base. The buildings and facilities you see are all bought with real money. We spent a lot of money on the military, but because of this, all businessmen in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions know that the safety factor is the highest when dealing with us. Whether you are buying or selling goods in Zhoushan, you can get security. And this kind of environment is something Daming can't give them."
Shi Diwen tried to convince Tao Donglai that the reason why Zhoushan has an excellent business environment development momentum is inseparable from his emphasis on military construction.The existence of military ports and bases, as well as the East China Sea Fleet, is the fundamental reason why businessmen from all countries can feel at ease in trading here.
Of course, whether to feel at ease or to be overwhelmed by force may vary from person to person.However, in Shi Diwen's view, there is no obvious difference between the two. In short, a strong armed force is indispensable, so as to ensure Haihan's overall position in the trade system of this region.
Tao Donglai actually agrees with Shi Diwen's point of view. The maritime trade system advocated by Haihan must be guaranteed by strong force to develop smoothly. It is also necessary to deploy armed fleets in areas where large-scale trade is concentrated.However, Shi Diwen is in charge of one party alone, with great authority. The expansion of the local army is almost entirely his decision. Although he will also submit relevant applications to the Ministry of National Defense, the purpose of such applications is generally to obtain more weapons and equipment. , to install the expanded new army.
But in fact, under the conditions of Zhoushan, Shi Diwen can completely bypass military supervision and organize, train and arm private troops by himself.Various types of warships can be built locally in Zhoushan, and the manufacturing process of basic guns and artillery is not complicated, and small workshops can also build them by hand.However, private manufacturing of arms is a taboo in Haihan. If Shi Diwen doesn't want to make mistakes in this regard, he can also directly apply to Sanya for the sale of old-fashioned guns in the name of supporting the Daming civilian armed forces, and then keep them for his own use.
Of course, these are only theoretical possibilities, and Shi Diwen doesn't necessarily want to take such a risky way to develop private armed forces.Tao Donglai inspected the Zhoushan base to confirm that Shi Diwen did not conceal any improper actions from the Executive Committee.
Tao Donglai had already mentioned to Shi Diwen yesterday that he wanted to know about the situation of foreign personnel receiving military training in Zhoushan, so today Shi Diwen took him directly to the local military academy and asked him to take a look at the situation of the foreign personnel who were trained here. foreign workers.
"Mr. Tao, these boys are all children sent by some powerful families in the nearby state capital, but most of them did not come here to learn to lead troops to fight. They just use this method to help their families create a situation that is consistent with our country's position. That's all."
Shi Diwen stopped the carriage and explained to a group of young people who were training on the playground.These young guys are receiving basic queue training. Judging from their performance, they should have just started training and are still in the stage of correcting their standing posture.
Tao Donglai asked calmly, "Are there any descendants of Yangzhou salt merchants?"
Shi Diwen responded: "Yangzhou salt merchants sent a group of people over for training in the second half of last year. They completed the basic training and went back a few years ago. There are only two people who are still here. I think they have some talents If you are willing to receive formal military training, arrange for them to study with the officers in the military academy. Do you want to meet them?"
Tao Donglai nodded and said, "It's fine to meet, but don't reveal my identity."
"Okay! I'll let someone pass them on." Although Shi Diwen was a little surprised by Tao Donglai's decision, he didn't raise any questions, and immediately asked the adjutant outside the car to find him.
Not long after, the two young men were brought to the carriage. Tao Donglai noticed that the two men were actually wearing the training uniforms of the Haihan Army. If it weren't for the conspicuous bun on their heads, they looked really like ordinary Haihan soldiers. No difference.After the two stood still, Shi Diwen opened the door and got out of the car with Tao Donglai.
These two people obviously recognized Shi Diwen. Seeing him getting off the carriage, he raised his hands neatly together to salute a Haihan-style military salute. It can be seen that he has indeed developed a conditioned reflex after a relatively long period of training. .
"The tall one is called Dai Chengrong, the youngest son of Dai Yingda, a great salt merchant in Yangzhou, and the short one is called Lin Qiu. His father is a dead man of the Dai family, and he won this training opportunity for him because of his great contributions." Shi Diwen Lowering his voice, he first introduced the origins of the two to Tao Donglai.
Tao Donglai said: "Let them practice first, and I'll see what skills they have learned in Zhoushan."
Shi Diwen immediately ordered the two to go to the training ground next to them, complete a 400-meter obstacle course, and then report back.The two of them didn't hesitate, nor did they ask Shi Diwen why he gave this order, they trotted all the way to the training ground.
"Execution is good! It seems that I didn't come to Zhoushan for so long in vain." Tao Donglai couldn't help boasting when he saw this.The professional quality of civil armed personnel is limited, and it is often difficult to enforce orders and prohibit them. The biggest difference between professional soldiers and them is their execution ability. The performance of these two people has obviously far exceeded the training standards of ordinary militias.
"That is, they have all been in Zhoushan for half a year, and the tuition is so expensive. If they can't learn real skills, how can they do business for their families when they go back?" Shi Diwen joked.
Judging from the performance of these two people on the training ground, their physical fitness is not bad, and their movements through obstacles are still fairly standard. From Tao Dong's point of view, they are already better than ordinary soldiers who have just completed recruit training.After the two practiced, they trotted all the way back to the carriage and saluted Shi Diwen.
Shi Diwen said: "This is an adult who came to Zhoushan from Sanya for inspection. Please introduce yourself, and then tell us what you have learned here and what your plans are for the future. Dai Chengrong comes first!"
Then Dai Chengrong took a step forward and responded loudly: "The villain Dai Chengrong, a native of Huizhou, now sells salt in Yangzhou Prefecture for a living. The villain came to Zhoushan for training last year, and it has been half a year since then. Combat skills. After returning to Yangzhou after learning, he will form a militia for the fellow salt merchants, and use the skills he has learned to maintain the peace of the place. In the future, if Haihan Kingdom asks for something in Yangzhou, the villain will do his best to help, in return for today's kindness."
Shi Diwen nodded, motioning for him to step back, and let Lin Qiu also say a few words.
Lin Qiu took a step forward, and what he said earlier was basically exactly the same as Dai Chengrong.But when it comes to his future plans, Lin Qiu said that he grew up under the care of the Dai family, and his father has always taught him to be loyal to the Dai family in the future, so his plan after finishing his studies is to assist Dai Chengrong to build a Support the militia armed forces that can hold down the Yangzhou area.
After Tao Donglai listened, he casually said a few words of encouragement, and asked Shi Diwen to send them away first.After the two men retreated, Tao Donglai said: "While training military skills, we must not forget about ideological work. We must keep up with the methods that should be kept up. Otherwise, no matter how well they learn, they will be thugs from other families."
Tao Donglai's words were obviously dissatisfied with the self-reports of the two just now. Although the attitudes of the two salt merchants were respectful, they didn't have much sense of dependence on Haihan in their words. If they left Zhoushan, the friendship might end soon. Faded.Haihan is not helpless in this situation, and Tao Donglai believes that this should be caused by Shi Diwen's work.
Shi Diwen smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Tao, people like Dai Chengrong are good from a young age, have no worries about food and clothing, and his family style is to be united and united to the outside world, so he only believes in his family and has always lacked trust in outsiders. Extremely high, it is not easy to understand that we are kind to him. That Lin Qiu was raised as a dead man from a young age, and his determination is even more unshakable. For people like them, ordinary propaganda and political work methods are actually very difficult to be effective , We have not tried, but with little success.”
Tao Donglai said: "Since this is the case, I don't think it is necessary to provide them with more advanced training content. If the skills they have learned from us cannot be used by us in the future, it will not be very meaningful. .”
Shi Diwen didn't fully agree with Tao Donglai's views: "Mr. Tao, the reason why I want to help Huizhou salt merchants form a militia, I have also mentioned in detail in the report before, their opponents once got Hirado Clan's support. Help, if we don't help them form a musketeer team, then we won't be able to start the situation north of the Yangtze River. Huizhou salt merchants are willing to spend their money on this, and guarantee that their militia will obey our army's dispatch in the future. These young people may also watch I don’t understand the situation, but their family knows the stakes, so they spend a lot of money to send them to Zhoushan for training.”
