Chapter 2534
Hangzhou, as an important town and regional center in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has been valued by the rulers in all dynasties. Naturally, various city defense fortifications are very complete, and there are even artificially excavated moats such as the Tiesha River.But it's a little ridiculous that fortifications including city gates and walls didn't help Daming resist Haihan.When Shi Diwen's troops took Hangzhou City, there was no fierce offensive and defensive battle here. The officials in the city had already reached an agreement with Haihan. The army opened the door and surrendered shortly after arriving at the city. handover.
However, because the time for Haihan to take over was too short, it was too late to completely reform the various systems during the Ming Dynasty. In order to achieve a smooth transition, Hangzhou basically maintained the previous situation, and even the opening and closing time of the city defense gates were not adjusted. Changes to avoid discomfort for local people.
Of course, there are benefits to doing so. The open city defense has higher requirements for public security management, but Haihan has not yet been able to implement its own management model in Hangzhou.The measure of closing the city gate at night can reduce public security incidents to a certain extent. This effect has been fully verified for thousands of years, so this management method will probably continue in Hangzhou for a period of time.
Of course, the local people have long been accustomed to this, so although they need to line up at the city gate to enter and leave the city, no one complains about this inefficient arrangement.But Tao Hongfang and others never met such a situation in Sanya before, and they became impatient after waiting for a while.
"Apeng, go ahead and see how long you have to wait before entering the city." Tao Hongfang called his entourage, Apeng, to inquire about the situation.
A Peng followed the crowd and slowly squeezed to the front, and found that there were several Haihan soldiers maintaining order at the city gate, but their job was not to check the people and goods entering and leaving the city, but to direct the traffic to ensure that the vehicles and horses entering and leaving the city did not arrive. Blocked at the city gate.But perhaps it was because the passage of the city gate was too narrow that the speed of entering and exiting was very slow.Some people think that those who don't care about March 21 and [-] rush forward will be picked out by the soldiers and scolded.
Seeing this, A Peng knew there was no shortcut, so he could only go back and report the truth.
After waiting for another cup of tea, the carriage they were riding in finally entered the city of Hangzhou through the Qingchun Gate, but the traffic conditions inside the city gate were not much better than those outside the city gate.Because the east of Hangzhou is a vast expanse of fields, the streets inside Qingchunmen are almost full of farmers transporting vegetables and food into the city, while those leaving the city are dung trucks traveling in groups.Tao Hongfang and his party had no choice but to continue to suffer from traffic jams and move slowly towards their goal.
When the group arrived at Shi Diwen's office, two full hours had passed since they set off from Qiong Lianfa Inn, and at this time there was already a long line of people waiting to be interviewed outside the Yamen.
This office was requisitioned from the Zhejiang Chief Envoy Siyamen during the Ming Dynasty, but the original signboard above the gate has been removed and replaced by a plaque with black characters on a white background hanging next to the gate—Hai Han Guo Donghai District Administration Committee.
Although the signboard of the management committee is hung at the door, in fact, the affairs handled here are not just civil affairs.Since Shi Diwen also serves as the military chief of the East China Sea Region, he is also in charge of the military affairs in the region.In the queue waiting to be received outside the gate, there were two or three Haihan officers in uniform.
Of course, those who will line up here should not be urgent military matters. Most of them are personnel transfers, logistics supplies, etc. that are not urgent but require Shi Diwen's personal seal for approval.
Although Tao Hongfang and the others had agreed to follow the normal procedure to seek an interview, they were still a little uneasy seeing the long queue outside the door. If the queue continued according to the current situation, they might not be able to see Shi Diwen until the afternoon.
But since everyone has come, it is naturally impossible to leave immediately. Everyone took out the official documents they received before departure and went to the porter to register according to the normal process.
The officer in charge of registering the visitors was also a military officer. He glanced at their official documents, looked up at them, and asked, "How many adults came from Sanya together?"
Tao Hongfang nodded and said, "Exactly, I'm sorry."
The officer put down the materials, called a subordinate, and asked them to lead Tao Hongfang and others to the side hall to rest for a while.Tao Hongfang didn't expect special treatment, so he quickly cupped his fists in thanks.However, all their entourage had to wait outside the yamen and could not go in with them.
Everyone was led to the side hall, and there were indeed a lot fewer people waiting to be interviewed here.And there are seats here with hot tea, you can sit down and wait slowly, it is indeed much more comfortable than standing in line outside the gate.
There were two men in the hall who had arrived earlier than they did, a young officer in a navy uniform with a badge identifying him as a lieutenant commander.But this major looks quite young, and should be about the same age as Tao Hongfang and others.
There are not many major officers at this age in the army. Although Ha Jianyi also has the rank of major, this is largely due to his father's influence. To be promoted to the rank of major, one must have a solid military exploit behind it.If this officer didn't have a special background, he must be a combat hero in the army.
The other person was a middle-aged man with a short beard on his chin, but judging from his luxurious attire, he should not be from Haihan, but a powerful person from Ming Dynasty.
After the four of them were seated, Tao Hongfang gave Ha Jianyi a wink, and Ha Jianyi understood. Dangshi got up and went to the officer, gave a military salute, and introduced himself: "I am Ha Jianyi from the Joint Staff Department of the Ministry of National Defense. May I ask who you are?"
The young officer hurriedly got up and saluted the army back: "I am Wang Anguo of the Navy Expeditionary Fleet."
"Navy Expedition Advance Fleet..." Ha Jianyi hesitated a little when he heard the name of this force, and then he came back to his senses and asked, "Could it be the force led by General Wang Tom?"
"Exactly." The young officer who called himself Wang Anguo paused, and added: "General Wang is my next father."
"Ah? So it's General Wang's son!" Ha Jianyi immediately understood why Wang Anguo was already a major at such a young age. He dared to say that he had a general father who held military power just like himself.
Of course, when it comes to the achievements of serving in the army, Wang Anguo should be much better than Ha Jianyi.After all, the service location of the Navy Expeditionary Advance Fleet is not the area under the rule of Haihan, but on the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away. Considering its environment and the risks it needs to face, Wang Anguo's rank of major is obviously more valuable .
