Chapter 1274 A powerful person

There are actually many political propaganda similar to this in the Ming Dynasty's army. After all, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is always a theme that military and political workers will never change. This is the same in any country. Although Haihan has a different political system and the country is governed by an executive committee,

The general direction of requiring soldiers to be loyal to the country is the same. However, Haihan obviously attaches more importance to this field than Liu Shang knew. He not only spared no effort to establish a specialized political organization such as the Youth League to take charge of ideological work, but also

There are also dedicated personnel in the army responsible for implementation. It is no wonder that the Haihan Army has defeated more with less in many cases in the past. In addition to its own strong force, the existence of the Youth League must also have played a significant role in boosting morale.

function.

The new task that Yu Xiaobao assigned to the officers responsible for political work in the army was to study and publicize the outstanding performance of the garrison troops in the battle that broke out on Star Island not long ago. Liu Shangxin said that I am good at this, and I have been there for most of the previous month.

When Sanya Port used this storyteller, the response was quite good. However, in the current environment, he also knew that as a temporary employee, he was not qualified to intervene and recommend himself, so he could only listen from the sidelines.

With Liu Shang's mind, of course he quickly heard something different from Yu Xiaobao's speech. If Liu Shang's previous performances at Xinlong Teahouse were more of an entertainment nature, then Yu Xiaobao's

Bao's requirements for these officers are more inclined to political tasks. And the specific propaganda methods and directions are obviously different from the folk art that Liu Shang is good at. If he really wants to send him, he will definitely not be able to achieve it satisfactorily.

requirements.

The focus of the propaganda requested by Yu Xiaobao is the determination and will to fight. Under the unfavorable situation of invasion by the enemy's coalition forces and superior strength, how can the garrison unite as one, and the soldiers and civilians work together to defeat the invading enemy?

, this is the direction of propaganda in the military. Although Liu Shang's method of shaping individual heroes will also be used in propaganda, the proportion will obviously not be as large as in his storybooks.

And when Yu Xiaobao said that later, Liu Shang finally heard some relatively sensitive information that had not been found in various newspapers before. Haihan defeated the British and Johor coalition forces in the Battle of Star Island, and the propaganda in the newspapers

It mainly focused on the battle process and the outstanding achievements, but there was no more in-depth report on the subsequent development of the situation. It was not until this time that Liu Shang heard the follow-up news from Yu Xiaobao.

After Haihan defeated the enemy, he did not take advantage of the victory and launch a pursuit. Instead, he made many demands for compensation from the two warring countries. Haihan relied not on the nearly 2,000 prisoners of war captured during the war, but on the infliction imposed on the two countries.

If they are unwilling to engage in peace talks, Haihan will launch a large-scale military retaliation.

Although this threat is only at the level of diplomatic means, the previous war has obviously destroyed the enemy's will to fight, so it has played a very significant role. It is said that the current negotiations have made significant progress, and Johor has chosen to surrender.

, but the specific compensation conditions are still being negotiated. As the British base is relatively far away from Star Island, their official attitude has not yet been confirmed. However, without the cooperation of Johor, it will be difficult for the other side to survive without logistics.

The war will continue under guaranteed conditions.

These economic compensations are secondary. Yu Xiaobao's focus is to explain the active advantages Haihan gained through this war in the South China Sea, especially the Strait of Malacca. Although Liu Shang compiled a book about the Star Island War and performed it on stage,

But he actually didn't know the geographical conditions of the distant South China Sea. As for the international situation in the Malacca region, he didn't even know the key. Although he knew that what Yu Xiaobao said might be extremely important, he was completely unable to understand its meaning.

.

Liu Shang was so anxious that he secretly cursed these people for not even displaying a map during a meeting to discuss the international situation. They were too lazy. He also remembered that after checking the information in the library a few days ago, he actually had some problems.

The information was accompanied by a simple map of the South China Sea, but at the time he felt that these places were too far away from Sanya and had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, so he skipped them without studying them carefully. Now he would need to use this knowledge when the matter came.

Only then did I feel regretful.

However, one of Liu Shang's strengths is his good memory. Not only can he have a photographic memory of written materials, but he can also forcefully remember most of the information that needs to be written down after hearing it once. If there is an opportunity in the future, he can also combine it with relevant information.

I will slowly digest the information after I come back from this trip. I just have to wait until I get back from this trip to slowly check the information and digest the information I got today. It’s hard to say how timely it will be.

Of course Yu Xiaobao doesn't care whether his temporary attaché can understand these words. One of his tasks during this trip is to convey the Executive Committee's opinions on the Star Island Campaign to the garrison in various places. On the one hand, he must emphasize the strength and power of the Haihan Army.

Invincible, on the other hand, troops from all over the country must understand that the external situation in Haihan is not peaceful, and they must prepare for war all year round and prepare for training at any time.

The Hainan Army has always implemented a rotating stationing system. Except for a few elite units such as special operations battalions that fight on the front line all year round, most of the troops will be stationed overseas in turns according to time limits. However, in recent years, Hainan Island has been very peaceful, and there has been no long-term peace.

Troops stationed in places performing combat missions will inevitably become slack due to this. In order to prevent the decline in combat effectiveness of the troops stationed on the island, the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense naturally have to find ways to stimulate the troops' enthusiasm for training and preparation for war. This young man

The group’s preaching tour is also one of them.

After convening a short meeting with the officer cadets, it was already lunch time, and Yu Xiaobao and his party had lunch together in the military academy. Only then did someone introduce the members of the team to Liu Shang.

Among them are not only preachers with similar responsibilities to him, but also writers responsible for writing manuscripts, security guards responsible for safety, logistics personnel responsible for connecting with local governments, organizing and arranging itineraries, and even doctors and accountants who accompany the team.

The official leading the team is Yu Xiaobao.

The main task of this team this time is to visit cities and counties along the coast of the island. The work they inspect is not limited to the work of the Youth League. However, some matters are non-public. Yu Xiaobao also received instructions from his superiors and will not do so.

It was made public that even these attachés were not fully aware of all the missions of this trip.

Liu Shang, who joined halfway, was naturally even more confused, but he also had seen a little of the world, and his mental quality had received special training, so he would not appear too cramped in this situation. During the dinner, Yu Xiaobao occasionally asked him

With a few words, Liu Shang could handle it decently.

After lunch, everyone left the military academy and headed to the nearby Luhuitou Comprehensive Pier. This pier is usually used to dock immigrant ships from other places, so that immigrants can be transferred to nearby immigration bases for resettlement. However, because the army base and the military academy

They are all nearby, so military troop transport ships often dock here. But this time, the ship that will carry Xiaobao and his party on their patrol mission around the island is neither an immigration ship nor a troop transport ship, but a

A high-end passenger sailing ship affiliated with the Ministry of Transportation.

Since it is a high-end sailing ship, the conditions on the ship are naturally much better than those of ordinary mixed-passenger and cargo sailing ships. Single cabins, dedicated living rooms, and restaurants are all necessary configurations. Of course, a temporary attaché like Liu Shang will definitely not enjoy it.

The treatment in the single cabin was that he could only share a four-person cabin with three other people in the team. Although it was a little crowded, it was much better than the immigration ship he took when he came to Sanya. At least the cabin was decent.

bunks instead of hammocks dangling below the deck.

Liu Shang entered the cabin and put away his luggage, sat on the bed and waited for a long time, but did not hear the order to set sail outside. He did not dare to move around at will. Just when he was not sure what to do, someone came in and informed him that he could not leave for the time being.

, you can go outside to get some fresh air.

So Liu Shang came to the deck and saw that Yu Xiaobao and others were indeed outside. Someone had already set up a wicker chair and tea table on the shore for Yu Xiaobao to sit down, drink tea and fish, to pass the time.

Liu Shang hurriedly asked the companion he had just met while having dinner to inquire about the situation. After asking, he found out that there were still passengers on the ship who had not arrived, and they had to wait for everyone to arrive before setting off. Liu Shang said in surprise: "There is still someone who can let Director Yu go."

Waiting like this?”

"You are waiting for me!" The man sighed: "Have you heard of Director Zhang of the Security Department? How can we not wait?"

When Liu Shang heard this, he had indeed heard of this name. When Chang Degao explained the background of Section Chief Hong, he listed two of his classmates, one was Director Yu Xiaobao of the Youth League, and the other

This is Director Zhang of the Security Department. Of course, Liu Shang doesn’t know if there is only one Director Zhang in the Security Department, but Chang Degao compared the two at that time, and he must be the best among the young officials in Haihan, etc.

If you look down to see if he looks young, you can roughly determine whether he is the person Chang Degao mentioned.

Regarding the intelligence of Haihan Security Department, Liu Shang did not have much information. He only knew that it was Haihan's main intelligence agency and was responsible for many invisible secret tasks. But as for the staffing of this yamen, nothing was known about it.

There is even less information. We only know that the first of the two stallholders is surnamed He, and he spent some time in Haihan's Guangzhou office in the early years. The other is surnamed Hao, but it seems that he is no longer on Hainan Island recently.

As for the people under their positions, they are basically all unknown figures. After all, most people in this field choose to remain anonymous during their service, and it is difficult to trace what achievements they have made. Liu Shang himself is currently in

In this state, he has a deep understanding of this situation. But for his current mission, it can be said that the Haihan Security Department is the mortal enemy, and the official named Zhang has an unknown purpose, which makes Liu Shang's heart unavoidable.

A little nervous.

Liu Shang carefully looked at the surrounding environment and saw that no one seemed to be paying attention to him, so he felt a little relieved. If the purpose of the security department was to arrest him, then they should probably arrest him immediately.

They were on guard, and even deployed controls in advance. But looking at the relaxed look of the people around them, they were probably just waiting for a late passenger, and this passenger happened to be an official from the Ministry of Security.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, a black box carriage hurriedly arrived at the pier. After the door opened, a young man got out of the car. When Liu Shang saw Yu Xiaobao put down his fishing rod and stood up,

He knew that this person was probably the Director Zhang he was waiting for. Judging from his appearance, Director Zhang was indeed very young. He should be about the same age as Yu Xiaobao, but he was obviously much stronger and taller than Yu Xiaobao.

Yu Xiaobao is slightly taller.

Director Zhang is currently one of the youngest senior officials in the Ministry of Security. Zhang Qianzhi is regarded by many as a strong contender to succeed this department in the future.

Although Zhang Qianzhi did not join the army as early as Yu Xiaobao, he is still considered an early group of naturalized cadres. Moreover, he has never changed his workplace since he entered the security department when he was a teenager.

, the professionalism is much better than that of Yu Xiaobao, who has been involved in all trades for a few days.

Zhang Qianzhi studied under He Xi in his early years, but it was not until the Danzhou Assassination Case in 1631 that he made great contributions as an undercover agent and began to emerge on the intelligence and security front. In 1634, a Spanish espionage case occurred in Sanya, and Zhang Qianzhi was also a member of the joint investigation team

One of the main members and played an important role in the detection process. These two major cases can be said to be the main masterpieces in his career, and they also provided sufficient reasons for He Xi to promote him to a higher position.

After the Spanish espionage case, Zhang Qianzhi was appointed as the Director of Qiongbei Regional Affairs of the Ministry of Security. This position was already semi-public, and he became famous because of it and was regarded as a leader among young officials. There were even some among the people.

Officials who have reached high positions at a young age, such as Yu Xiaobao, Zhang Qianzhi, Fu Li, and Huang Xiaoque, are called the golden generation, which means that their future is bright.

This time Zhang Qianzhi returned to Sanya to handle some official business. It happened that Yu Xiaobao and his team were going to Qiongbei by boat, so he took a smooth boat to avoid having to join the ordinary people on the passenger ship that runs every two days.

Yu Xiaobao and Zhang Qianzhi have been partners since their days in the Guangdong Office. Although they have met less often in recent years, their relationship has been maintained well. After Yu Xiaobao stood up, he pretended to be unhappy and said: "I was about to give an order.

You must have calculated the time accurately enough to sail the boat!"

Zhang Qianzhi smiled and bowed: "I would like to come here earlier, but Minister He kept talking in the meeting and I can't leave even if I want to!"

Yu Xiaobao said: "How dare you, Zhang Qianzhi, to arrange for the leader to do something behind his back? I'm telling you, if you don't bribe me with some benefits, then I'll make up my mind about this little report!"

Zhang Qianzhi said without changing his expression: "You should be your publicity ambassador. When it comes to collecting dirty materials and making snitches, how can you be as professional as me?"

After the two of them finished speaking, they both laughed loudly, then stretched out their hands and held them tightly. It was the first time for Liu Shang to see Haihan people greeting them with such etiquette, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
