Chapter 1336 Status

However, Liu Shang was too lazy to explain the difference between Spain and Portugal in detail to Liao Yuan. Since he came into contact with Haihan officials, the knowledge he has learned has long been beyond the comparison of ordinary Ming people, and his vision has become higher than before coming to Haihan.

Many, when I look at Liao Yuan's conversation at this time, I feel that he is vulgar and ignorant. Although Liao Yuan is nominally the core and commander of the local intelligence network, Liu Shang has no respect for him in his heart.

Speaking of the battle that day, Liu Shang was also itchy and couldn't help but brag a few words: "When the two armies were fighting that day, Liu was lucky enough to watch the battle on the Linhai Highlands. The strength of the navies of the two countries

They are all quite powerful, and the fighting situation is also very fierce."

When Liao Yuan came back, he heard that Haihan sent many people to the coast to watch the battle that day. However, he was unable to witness the battle between the two armies that day. He must have regretted it. Hearing this, he quickly asked: "Mr. Liu, can you tell me about the battle situation that day?"

Can you tell me in detail?”

This happened to be Liu Shang's specialty. He immediately described the battle between the two armies that day vividly. Although Liao Yuan had not seen it in person, he could basically imagine the scene through his description. Liu Shang fully said

After a while of burning incense, I just cut off the beginning and end and told him the conflicting part in the middle.

After hearing this, Liao Yuan sighed: "From what you said, it is somewhat different from what was in the newspaper. If it weren't for the power of the coastal defense fort at Sanya Port, the Haihan fleet might not be able to withstand the opponent's offensive?

"

Liu Shangdao: "The newspapers naturally described Haihan's army as an invincible heavenly army, but the battle situation at that time was indeed that the coast defenses played a big role. If not, even if Haihan could repel the invading enemy, it would never be possible.

So easy. In my personal opinion, if it was just a battle between fleets, it would probably not be so easy to have a one-sided situation."

"In your opinion, how do the fleets of these two countries compare with my Ming navy?" Liao Yuan looked at Liu Shang eagerly, hoping that he could give him an answer that would make him feel at ease.

But Liu Shang's answer ruthlessly poured cold water on his head: "Both the fleets of the two countries used naval artillery bombardment as the main means of attack. There were almost no boarding battles during the battle. Compared with our Daming Navy,

The fighting methods are very different. If we want to compare them, the Ming Dynasty Navy is probably a big difference. I heard that the Fujian Navy bought a lot of warships from Haihan, and perhaps only the subordinates of General Xu of Fujian Province.

Only then can we be able to fight with these two countries!"

It is no secret that the Fujian military has a close relationship with Haihan. Haihan can sell his own weapons to Xu Xinsu, which shows that he trusts him. If you expect the Fujian navy to send troops to attack Haihan, you probably have to wait until Xu Xinsu

After stepping down and replacing others. However, they all know something about the situation in Fujian. A deep-rooted spokesperson for local forces like Xu Xinsu is not very active in his official position. It may not be possible to stimulate him to defect to the Haihan camp. Then Fujian

It would inevitably lead to chaos.

And if Fujian is excluded, there really are no worthy naval forces along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. The naval forces along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi have long been abandoned. Now the establishment in some places has even been replaced by armed forces under the orders of Haihan, while the Zhejiang Navy has been replaced for nearly two years.

Nian has been so tortured in front of the Haihan people that they can't hold their head up. At the beginning of the year, even the entrance of the Qiantang River was blocked by the Haihan Navy for several days. Going further north, there is no fully established navy at all, let alone

It doesn't have much fighting power anymore.

Liu Shang's opinion has basically drawn a conclusion for the Ming Navy. Liao Yuan also knew that Liu Shang would never deliberately belittle his own army to increase the enemy's combat power. This judgment should be very objective, but he just listened to it.

After that, he couldn't help but be disappointed. Like Liu Shang, he came with the idea of ​​one day regaining Hainan Island occupied by Haihan. However, after hanging around in Sanya for several months, he has not seen any expulsions so far.

Haihan's hope of regaining his lost territory was somewhat depressing.

Liao Yuan was silent for a long time before he regained his energy and said: "No matter what, at least you have entered the Haihan government and have the status of an official. In the future, I will have to rely on you to contribute more for important information."

Liu Shang heard that Liao Yuan's tone was looser than before, and he knew that this was probably due to his current official status. He asked tentatively: "Now that I am working in the Yamen, it may not be convenient for you all the time.

Contact, Brother Liao, look at the previous contact information, do you need to change it to suit local conditions?"

Liao Yuan hesitated for a moment before responding: "Now that your identity is different, you must be careful. If there is no big event in the future, I will not take the initiative to look for you again."

Liu Shang felt relieved, and then said: "Since it may be inconvenient to contact me, can I act in a hurry and make my own decisions in the future?"

Liao Yuan frowned, but immediately regained his calm expression, nodded and said: "Your safety is our top priority, you can handle things by yourself without consulting me first."

"Thank you so much, Brother Liao!" Liu Shang raised his hand and said.

When Liu Shang first arrived in Sanya, he basically obeyed Liao Yuan's arrangements and had to discuss with him any problems. Of course, to be more precise, perhaps "asking for instructions" is more appropriate. As long as Liao Yuan had objections, it would definitely not be implemented.

Liu Shang is not willing to be controlled by other people's temperament. Now that he has the opportunity to make a comeback, he will naturally strive for it with all his strength. If Liao Yuan still insists on the previous approach, then Liu Shang may not continue to do it. But since Liao Yuan knows what he is doing,

After fully agreeing, Liu Shang would naturally maintain the superficial harmony and not break up with him.

"There happens to be something happening right now, please remember to pay attention." What Liao Yuan said next made Liu Shang's just-recovered mood become irritable again: "In the near future, the superiors may send a carpenter to Sanya to try to get involved in shipbuilding.

factory to steal the blueprints of the Haihan warship. If you have access to the registration files of the Immigration Bureau, remember to single out this person with the pseudonym Qin An and arrange it separately. I believe that as an official of the Youth League, you will not be able to do such a small thing.

Is it too difficult?”

Liu Shang almost exploded at this moment. He finally settled Qin An's side and sent him to Changhua. He thought that he could get a safe period of one or two months and then think about it slowly. Who knew that this Liao

Yuan actually knew that the superiors had sent Qin An to Sanya, and now he gave Liu Shang an army.

Liu Shang played tricks on Qin An's work assignment, because he was sure that Liao Yuan would not know about the news that his superiors had sent people to Sanya, because when he first arrived in Sanya and contacted Liao Yuan, the other party did not know his purpose.

He also didn't receive any instructions about him at all. So Liu Shang thought that the intelligence personnel appointed by the superiors would not specifically greet Liao Yuan before coming to Sanya, so he acted confidently and boldly. But in this way, how could he take Qin An's information?

Keep things hidden?

Liao Yuanyuan and Liu Shang looked strange and couldn't help but ask: "Why, is there any difficulty in this matter?"

Liu Shang gritted his teeth and said, "Excuse me for asking, when did Brother Liao get the news that this person was sent to Sanya?"

Liao Yuan and Liu Shang had a serious expression on their face, not as if they were just asking casually, so they responded: "I received the order before I went to Guangzhou this time... Why did something happen during this period?"

Liu Shang said in a deep voice: "You said that the carpenter named Qin Ming'an has arrived in Sanya."

"Have you seen this person?" Liao Yuan immediately sat up straight after hearing this. If Liu Shang has already seen this person, it means two possibilities. One is that the two people knew each other and had already met in Sanya.

Second, the superior not only sent the order to contact Qin An to himself, but also to Liu Shang. Although the former is against the rules, it seems harmless. After all, some coincidences are beyond human control. As long as nothing happens,

Nothing much to say.

But if the latter possibility is the case, then Liao Yuan has to worry that his superiors don't trust his abilities so much, and they bypassed him and issued orders directly to Liu Shang. This is not a good signal. You must know that before Liu Shang came to Sanya

, the intelligence network here is being gradually established with Liao Yuan as the core, but now Liu Shang has joined the Haihan Youth League as a servant, and can be said to be a person with the prefix "official". Naturally, he is not like him in terms of convenience in obtaining intelligence.

The identity of the guarding martial artist is comparable, and he is already the highest-ranking person among the lurking personnel in Sanya.

If the boss knows this news, it seems to be a normal thing to change the original deployment and reset the affiliation. Due to the limitations of Liao Yuan's current occupation, the level and timeliness of the intelligence he can obtain are far less than what he has now.

Liu Shang, if he were to direct Liu Shang's actions in the future, he would inevitably be suspected of cutting his feet to fit his shoes. The best way to give full play to Liu Shang's effectiveness is naturally to reverse the subordinate relationship between the two, with Liu Shang as the center of the intelligence network

, to mobilize and distribute the actions of other peripheral personnel. With an identity like Liao Yuan, it is just a matter of helping Liu Shang, but it would be unreasonable for him to dictate and control Liu Shang.

Because of this, when Liu Shang made a request to him previously, Liao Yuan did not refuse, but satisfied Liu Shang's request as much as possible. However, Liu Shang himself did not realize the real reason for Liao Yuan's loose attitude, and instead took the initiative

When he saw that it was good, he accepted it. However, Liao Yuanyuan did not make any unreasonable demands from Liu Shang, so he was a little relieved. It was not until he heard Liu Shang talking about Qin An's situation that he realized that something was wrong.

Liu Shang's mind was spinning rapidly. Seeing Liao Yuan acting so eagerly, he immediately thought of the two possibilities that Liao Yuan was worried about. The situation between him and Qin An actually fell into the first type. The two had met before coming to Sanya.

After meeting each other and knowing each other's identities, there would actually be no trouble telling Liao Yuan. But Liu Shang felt that Qin An was a hidden danger, and the danger was far greater than that of Liao Yuan, so he had to find a way to get rid of him.

.Since Liao Yuan took the initiative to ask about this matter, he had to find a way to take advantage of Liao Yuan.

"To be honest, I met with Qin An before Brother Liao came back. However, this person is extremely impatient and stubborn, and he cannot listen to his opinions at all. I don't know how the superiors chose such a number one person.

Come here." Liu Shang deliberately avoided mentioning the reason for his meeting with Qin An, but instead hacked Qin An first, hoping to draw Liao Yuan's attention.

Liao Yuan responded noncommittally: "Really? Did this person have such a temper before?"

Liu Shang heard the probing tone in Liao Yuan's question, and still wanted to know if he had known Qin An before, so as to determine the reason for the meeting between the two.

How could Liu Shang be willing to suffer a loss, and his response was quite tactful: "I have no contact with him at all, and I don't know whether he had such a temper before."

This statement was ambiguous, and the implication was that he did not admit to knowing Qin An before, but he also did not deny the possibility, leaving Liao Yuan still unable to determine the truth.

Liao Yuanyuan and Liu Shang saw through his intentions and were on guard. They had to avoid the topic and said, "Then what kind of restless method does Qin An have? Please tell me."

Liu Shang was waiting for Liao Yuan to ask this question. He immediately started talking and told Liao Yuan about Qin An's plan to sneak into Fort Victory alone to steal the construction plans of the Haihan warship. He believed that Liao Yuan also knew about the situation in Fort Victory.

It is relatively clear and we can objectively judge whether Qin An's risky plan is feasible.

Sure enough, Liao Yuan's expression changed after hearing this, and he said with an angry expression: "Nonsense! He went to Fort Victory alone. Isn't this a clear indication of death? He just wants to die alone. If you and I are implicated, this will cause trouble.

What a mess!"

Liu Shang saw that Liao Yuan was angry, and this reaction was exactly what he wanted. He immediately agreed: "I agree with Brother Liao. I am too anxious to eat hot tofu and act so recklessly. I will only die in vain.

But Qin An couldn't listen at all, saying that he must complete this task as soon as possible, and then leave here to go back to work. Brother Liao, he thought simply, just pat his butt and leave after finishing the work, but this Haihan came whenever he wanted.

A place where you can just walk away?”

Liao Yuan said angrily: "Can't he lurk in the shipyard and steal the enemy slowly? He has to use such radical methods. I really don't know how powerful the Haihan Security Department is! If I come to persuade him, maybe he can

Let him give up this unrealistic idea. Where is this person now? Has he set off for Changhua?"

Liu Shangxin said that the power of the Haihan Security Department is even less clear to you than me. If I hadn't been afraid of Zhang Qianzhi from the Security Department, I wouldn't have stopped the Haihan Immigration Bureau from assigning Qin An to the shipyard.

It's just that the subsequent development of things was completely out of control and deviated from Liu Shang's original plan. Qin An is a restless person, so the situation was almost out of control.

Liu Shang responded: "He has already left, but when he left, he said that he would stay in Changhua for at least two months. If there is no improvement, he would try to escape from there."

"This guy..." Liao Yuan mused: "If he comes back to Sanya by himself, he will probably become a trouble for us!"

Liu Shang nodded and agreed: "Brother Liao and I have the same idea. If we let him act, we will definitely be implicated, so we must make plans early!"
Chapter completed!
