Chapter 1341: Swinging position

In a solemn atmosphere, everyone stood on the pier in fear and listened to Yan Chujie's parting words. For them, naturalized officials, these senior leaders in the executive committee have always been regarded as gods. What they said,

It can be equated to a government order in black and white with a red seal, which must not be disobeyed. Of course, there are also smart people like Liu Shang among them. From Yan Chujie's speech, he felt something different.

Before this, more than half of the affairs in the occupied areas in Shandong were managed by the military, and Yan Chujie's speech was somewhat intended to protect his own family. Or he was warning everyone not to try to do anything during the handover process.

Looking for trouble with the military. As for what kind of trouble there will be in this process, Yan Chujie did not elaborate. Liu Shang is not familiar with such matters, so he naturally cannot guess it. However, the journey to Shandong is long and there is plenty of time.

Liu Shang was not in a hurry to ask other civil affairs officials who were traveling with him to learn the secret.

After Yan Chujie finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaobao who was standing next to him, asking him to say a few words. Yu Xiaobao nodded, took a step forward, and loudly said to everyone: "It's a long way to Shandong.

The local environment is not as good as Sanya, and life will inevitably be a bit harder. Don’t forget to take good care of yourself after work. I, Haihan, have many development plans in the north in the future. If you are willing, you can stay in the north and take charge of your own business.

No. The time has come, everyone, please board the ship!"

Yu Xiaobao's words were concise and concise, and they seemed to be polite at first. However, Liu Shang, who specializes in collecting information from the smallest details, naturally noticed the information mentioned in Yu Xiaobao's words.

Haihan still has many development plans in the north, and the amount of information contained in this sentence is huge. It has become a fact that Haihan currently occupies part of the area in Dengzhou, Shandong, but judging from Yu Xiaobao's statement, Dengzhou

Sanya is not the final stop for Haihan's northbound activities, and there will be more actions in the future. Liu Shang does not know the local situation, and he has not come into contact with much information related to Shandong in Sanya. It is difficult to infer Haihan out of thin air.

What is the next development direction of the Han Dynasty in the north?

At this moment, he couldn't help but start to worry about the safety of the Ming Dynasty. After all, Dengzhou is only separated from the important area of ​​​​the Gyeonggi Province by the Bohai Bay. For the Haihan Army who is good at cross-sea operations, it is nothing different. And the Ming Dynasty

More than half of the naval forces remaining in the Bohai Bay had been taken away by the rebels during the Denglai Rebellion and went to the Northeast to seek refuge with Houjin. Another part went to Pi Island, and the remaining stragglers were scattered in various coastal states on the Shandong Peninsula.

The county can at most serve as an early warning, but it cannot fight against the powerful Haihan fleet.

If it were in peacetime, the period after the Denglai Rebellion was settled would have been enough time to reorganize a navy to protect the Bohai Sea. However, it is a pity that in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been experiencing constant internal and external troubles in the north, and it is impossible for the imperial court to draw on the scarce military expenditures.

Allocate enough money from the budget to reorganize a naval force that may not be deployed into combat.

The reason why I say this is because Haihan’s absolute control over the coastline south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty has been fully revealed in recent years. Even if the Ming Dynasty court still will not recognize the existence of the country Haihan, the senior officials who govern this country will not.

Would you be stupid enough to ignore Haihan's maritime armed strength, and use the navy to challenge Haihan's fleet has been proven to be unworkable many times. Senior officials have realized that cautiously maintaining a superficial peace with Haihan is the most sensible thing at present.

Diplomatic handling strategies.

Of course, there are also people like Liu Shang in the court who are worried about the safety of the capital, but what's the use of just worrying? At this time, the Ming Dynasty is no longer able to deal with a powerful enemy coming from the sea. This is not the previous harassment of the Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese pirates on the coast are maritime armed forces that are more powerful than the Ming Dynasty Navy. Force alone cannot completely solve Haihan's problem.

"Perhaps when we get to Shandong, we can try to find out Haihan's next plan." At this moment, Liu Shang unconsciously stood on the Ming Dynasty's position again. He had even begun to think about how to leave no trace.

He contacted the local Ming intelligence agency in Shandong and quietly passed on the intelligence he had obtained there.

After all, years of habits cannot be changed overnight. Even if Liu Shang had previously made up his mind to clear his identity and become a peace officer in Haihan, when the real thing came and he discovered that there was a potential crisis in Ming Dynasty, he still

He couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons as a government official. Even though the benefits that the Ming Dynasty could bring him were far less than those of Haihan, the power of nostalgia was still strong enough for him to subconsciously make plans for the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Xiaobao's speech was as confident and firm as other high-ranking Haihan officials, and Yan Chujie next to him did not express any objection to it, so Liu Shang believed that this was not his bragging, and he had to do something to be worthy of his

Identity - the identity that he almost gave up yesterday.

Liu Shang was stunned when he saw that Yu Xiaobao had finished his speech and walked straight up to him and three other Youth League officials, apparently wanting to give them some personal instructions.

"I've pretty much said what I should tell you a few days ago. Let me emphasize one more point..." Yu Xiaobao's tone of voice was very mature and inconsistent with his age: "... After arriving in Shandong, I will be a low-key person and do things in a high-key manner.

.If you have any doubts about anything at work, everything will be based on the military’s attitude. Do you understand?”

Everyone responded immediately. They had been given surprise training in the past few days before departure, one of which was to have a general understanding of Haihan's local management structure and personnel arrangements.

There are currently five senior military generals stationed in Shandong, including Wang Tom, Qian Tiandun, Morgan, Harugong, and Chen Yixin. The only ones who can barely be classified as civilians are Hao Wanqing, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Security, and

There are two exploration experts, Tian Yeyou, who are responsible for the operation of the Fushan copper mine. Strictly speaking, these two people have always had close contacts with the military. They usually do not manage secular affairs that are not related to their work fields, and their positions may not necessarily be the same.

Side with the civilian camp.

This time, the team that went north to assist the construction did not have a higher-level "head" to join it, and there would be no special change in the proportion of civil and military officials in Shandong. Therefore, Yu Xiaobao had to remind himself that these subordinates had arrived.

In the future, you should prioritize things in the local area and don't conflict with the military who are in charge of local government affairs. Otherwise, if you piss off several big bosses in the military, no one will be able to save them from suffering there.

Liu Shang secretly sighed after learning about this staffing. He had already visited various states and counties in Hainan Island with Yu Xiaobao, and knew that Haihan generally only assigned one or two "chief" level officials to be responsible for local government and military affairs in a region.

However, Haihan's occupation area in Shandong actually gathered so many senior officials, mainly military attachés. From this alone, we can see that Haihan's thoughts were probably not simple.

After Yu Xiaobao finished his instructions, he motioned for them to board the ship quickly. After Liu Shang got on the ship with his luggage, a sailor picked them up and took them to the cabin. There was a chief at the dock to see them off, so it was impossible for them to get on the ship.

After the ship, I went straight into the cabin to rest. Now I have to stand on the side of the ship, waiting for the captain to leave first before the ship starts. Then I can move around freely.

But Yan Chujie and Yu Xiaobao are not the only ones who want to send away Liu Shang, there are also more than ten other cargo ships carrying various materials that are going north with them. Most of the materials on these ships can only be produced in Sanya, among which

There is also no shortage of arms and equipment to be supplied to the northern frontier, which is quite valuable. The captains of these cargo ships will also be collectively received by Yan Chujie. Therefore, Liu Shang and others have to wait on the ship. After Yan Chujie meets the cargo fleet,

After the crew is completed, the entire fleet will set off together.

Fortunately, Yan Chujie always acted vigorously and resolutely, never being sloppy. Not long after they arrived at the side of the ship and stood still, Yan Chujie had already finished his practical speech to the captains. A sharp copper whistle began to sound on the dock, signaling the ships to leave the port.

After setting off, the sailors skillfully unmoored and raised the sails under the command of the captain, and slowly sailed away from the coast.

Liu Shang saw Yu Xiaobao standing on the pier waving to his side. He also followed the example of others and raised his arm to wave vigorously in Yu Xiaobao's direction to express farewell. If it is only between people

In terms of getting along with each other, he feels that Yu Xiaobao is a good boss, smart but not mean, and can even be said to be friendly. Compared with the vicious and cunning boss when he was an errand, he feels that Yu Xiaobao is a superior and subordinate.

It was very easy to get along with him.

We say goodbye here, and I don’t know when we saw each other again. Although Liu Shang didn’t have any sad emotions, he still couldn’t help but recall his experience of working with Yu Xiaobao some time ago. As a spy of the Ming Dynasty, he unexpectedly found out by chance.

I have worked with senior officials from Haihan for almost a month. This experience can be considered very special.

However, Liu Shang thought about it and realized that this didn't seem to be anything special. When he went to Shandong this time, there would be seven senior officials from Haihan there, so there would be more opportunities to work together. Then he would have many opportunities to observe the Haihan people.

How to govern their overseas occupied areas.

Seeing Yan Chujie and Yu Xiaobao return to the carriage, and then leaving the dock under the escort of cavalry, the people standing on the side of the ship waving greetings slowly stopped and each moved their already aching arms. Some people felt that

It was very windy on the deck, so I immediately went back to the cabin to stay.

The sailing ship that carried the cadres who went north to aid construction this time was a passenger ship affiliated with the Maritime Transport Department of the Ministry of Transport. Although it did not have high-tech blessings such as steam power, the ship was specially built to transport middle- and high-level officials in terms of comfort.

But it is far more than a naval warship. In addition to Liu Shang's group of people heading north to Shandong, there are also several individual passengers on board who are going to Hong Kong, Penghu, Zhoushan and other places. Of course, these individual passengers are also

Employees of various government departments and ordinary people are not eligible to board this ship, which has special identity requirements.

Liu Shang didn't want to go back to the cabin immediately. He put his hands on the side of the ship and stared at the farther and farther coastline. He felt a little reluctant to leave this place where he had only stayed for a few months.

Although he has had many thrilling moments in his past career, compared with the experiences he has experienced in the past few months, they seem to be relatively dull. These few months in Hainan Island seem to have opened a new world in front of him.

A brand new world. In this world, the Ming Dynasty is not the strongest country. The unknown Haihan is the center of the world. This country has too many things that the Ming Dynasty cannot reach. According to the Haihan people, this country is more advanced than the Ming Dynasty.

It takes hundreds of years, and in some fields there is even a gap of several hundred years.

Liu Shang could not accept such a theory at first, but what he saw and heard subsequently confirmed that the boasts of the Haihan people were true. The more he saw and understood, the more Liu Shang was determined to overthrow the Haihan people.

His thoughts became more and more indifferent, because he knew that this was basically an impossible task, and he gradually became more inclined to protect himself. He even did not hesitate to act without permission and indirectly killed a group of colleagues who were also lurking in Haihan.

.

It's a pity that after all the agencies have been exhausted, he can no longer live a stable life in Sanya. After moving north, he can't tell what kind of environment will be waiting for him. In short, it won't be as comfortable as Sanya.

.But at this time, he felt that Ming Dynasty was facing a crisis, and he had to do something to make up for his previous mistakes.

This back-and-forth stance made him somewhat despise his own lack of firm will, but in fact he didn't quite know. This was because his sense of identity was becoming increasingly blurry.

Now whether he is a Mingren or a naturalized citizen of Haihan, Liu Shang's understanding of the boundaries between these two identities is becoming increasingly blurred. Let's say he is a Mingren, because he obviously spends much more time working for Haihan now.

Chuanzhuxing was all supported by Haihan. He was said to be from Haihan, but he clearly still had the identity of a lurker and was still concerned about the safety of Ming Dynasty.

Liu Shang really felt in a dilemma about what to do next. Fortunately, there was still enough time on the way to Shandong for him to slowly weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice for himself.

Only half a day after the northbound fleet sailed out of Victory Port, Shandong, thousands of miles away, had already received telegrams relayed all the way from the Daming coastline. Victory Fort informed Shandong of the fleet's departure time, the general status of the supplies and personnel transported

, so that you can make early arrangements at your destination.

In the evening of that day, the news was passed from Zhifu Island to Fushan County, and the person who was most excited about it was undoubtedly Chen Yixin, who had been temporarily assigned to manage civil affairs in recent months. The arrival of this group of construction aid personnel,

This can free him from his current worldly affairs and return to the army to lead troops.
