Chapter 1377 Big Trouble

Su Yu's expression still didn't soften. He shook his head and said, "This is not a matter of hypotheticals. Brother Liu, you are not familiar with this industry deeply enough and you don't know how big the stakes are here."

Liu Shang responded with some disapproval: "Although the military is difficult to deal with, it is strictly bound by military regulations, and they can't do anything too outrageous. The people in charge are just low-level officers, so how much influence can they have?

?”

"It would be simple if only the military was involved, but the problem is that it's not just the military involved..." Su Wei looked hesitant to speak.

When Liu Shang heard this, he thought to himself that he only knew about the immigration affairs but did not know why. He could inquire about the secrets. Although it was not a military secret of great significance, if he could understand the secrets, it might help him in his career as an official in the future.

Taoism would also be helpful. I immediately asked Su Yu, "Brother Su, can you give me some advice? I can also help me think of some countermeasures."

Su Yu did not refuse. After sighing, he began to tell Liu Shang some of the circumstances.

Immigration matters are an important national policy for Haihan. In addition to the immigration officers who handle the affairs, there are also many people in the country who rely on this industry to survive. For example, the shipping company specializing in immigrant transportation between Daming and Haihan, in

There are dental shops in various places that introduce jobs to new immigrants, construction teams that build villages for immigrants, etc. The scale of this industry is not even much worse than some mainstream industries, and the benefits involved are also very considerable. There are officially licensed business contents,

Naturally, there are also some shady corners where huge gray interests are hidden.

Although these non-public underground industrial chains are not well known to people outside the industry, they involve a lot of vested interests, and these people are often inextricably linked to the upper class of society, and are

It is not so easy to eradicate. Moreover, the competent authorities also need the existence of these gray industries to deal with some problems that are inconvenient for officials to come forward.

Although the immigration affairs in Shandong have always been in charge of the military, they also need to be connected with the downstream immigration industry. For example, the registration of immigrants' information during their stay in Shandong will involve their whereabouts and life after arriving in Zhoushan.

Benefits and subsidy payment standards, etc., which leaves a lot of room for the manager to operate. But after the manager here in Shandong is replaced, all the intermediate links will be interrupted.

In Shandong, it may only be the replacement of personnel in individual positions, but for practitioners in the lower reaches of the industrial chain, it may be a earthquake. And the economic benefits affected by this will also be huge.

.In other words, this work handover will not only affect the interests of the parties in Shandong, but will also have an impact on Zhejiang and other areas where immigrants will be assigned thousands of miles away.

Liu Shang was also quite surprised after hearing this. He knew that the immigration industry was very lucrative, but he didn't expect it to be so involved. After thinking for a moment, he said: "The reason why it is so involved is probably because this place is so convenient."

Is it the entryway for northern immigrants?”

"That's right!" Su Yu nodded in agreement with Liu Shang's statement: "Currently, more than 90% of the new immigrants recruited from the north and sent to the south in our country are handled by the Shandong base. Although the source of immigrants has increased in the past year,

In the area of ​​Phi Island, relevant procedures are also handled by the Shandong base. Tens of thousands of immigrants enter the Haihan territory from here every year. Immigration agencies and related practitioners in the south are all watching this place. If there is any slight disturbance, in the industry

There will be some internal reaction.”

"But it's not good to put all the blame on you alone, right? After all, you are just following the orders of your superiors and coming here to perform tasks." After hearing this, Liu Shang couldn't help but feel a little grievances for Su Yu.

No one would have a hard time with such a troublesome task, and Su Yu was just the unlucky guy who got it right. Even if he was well aware of the entanglements of interests involved, he could not change anything by himself. Liu Shang was not a relevant department.

As a person, it is even less likely that he would intervene to solve Su Yu's problem. Apart from saying some words of comfort, Liu Shang really could not play any role in this matter.

"Take a step and see what happens!" Su Yan muttered in a low mood.

Although Liu Shang got along well with Su Yan, their friendship was only at the level of good colleagues. The two sides were far from the stage of heart-to-heart communication, not to mention that Liu Shang's own identity had many

He was afraid that it was impossible to have a deep friendship with someone at this stage. So when the two of them talked to this extent, they stopped talking. Liu Shang himself also had a lot of preparations to make. Although the work he was responsible for was not as involved as immigration,

There are personal interests, but when it comes to politics, he doesn't dare to neglect it at all.

The day after arriving at Zhifu Island, Liu Shang began his official work. He and several colleagues went directly to the garrison headquarters to find the officer Qin Wei whom they had met the day before, and discussed with him the handover procedures for related work.

Qin Wei currently holds the rank of second lieutenant and serves as the director of the Political Work Department of the Shandong Military Region. He is an official in charge of political work and publicity affairs in the military secondary school. Haihan did not have a dedicated publicity team in the local cadre configuration before, so the relevant

Civil affairs are also managed by Qin Wei's department. This time, the team going north includes both political cadres like Liu Shang and full-time staff from the Propaganda Department, so the work previously managed by Qin Wei will be handed over to them.

Come and take over.

"The local propaganda work may be somewhat different from when you were in Hainan Island. The people here still have certain doubts and wariness about our existence, and some people even still regard us as invaders." Qin Wei made the handover.

Before starting work, he briefly introduced the local situation to Liu Shang and others: "So the focus of our work here is still to eliminate the hostility of the Ming people towards us and encourage them to contact our country for trade and cultural exchanges. Of course the most important thing is

What we need is to let them understand our country’s immigration policy and try our best to recruit them to go south to develop in our country.”

"Second Lieutenant Qin, will the hostility you mentioned pose a threat to us?" Someone asked with concern.

Qin Weiying said: "We will give a scope of the safe zone. It is best for everyone to move within the scope we have designated in the near future. The people in this area are basically people who intend to immigrate or have already taken refuge with us, and the public security is also poor.

It’s relatively good, and generally there won’t be any danger.”

"Yesterday during the banquet, I heard that there was a case of assassinating the leader in the occupied territory not long ago. What happened? Can Second Lieutenant Qin tell us about it?" Someone immediately asked another more pointed question.

Qin Wei smiled and said: "It seems that someone really drank too much yesterday and told everything... There is indeed an assassination, but our security measures are very complete, and we have learned about the opponent's action plan before they take action.

, and arranged an ambush in advance to catch them all. This is not a security issue in the occupied area. The assassins sent by the Dengzhou Ming Army can only be regarded as an emergency. Afterwards, we also gave some small measures to the Dengzhou side.

A small lesson to ensure they don't try this stupid thing again."

More than half a month had passed since the assassination in Majiazhuang. This incident was certainly not a secret. Haihan took the opportunity to retaliate after the incident and ruthlessly looted the horse farm of the Ming army in Dengzhou. The Dengzhou side was guilty of guilt.

, and did not dare to take any further actions, for fear of angering Haihan and worsening the situation. After this incident, Haihan posted notices widely inside and outside the occupied area. Although he did not name the mastermind behind the scenes, it could be regarded as

It was a kind of warning, and the content of these notices to calm the people at that time was drafted by Qin Wei himself.

This matter was initiated by the Dengzhou government, and it was completely different from the people's resistance to Haihan. Seeing that someone asked about it, Qin Wei simply explained the matter clearly, so as to prevent these new civil affairs officials from having any concerns about the local situation.

misunderstanding.

Although these people, including Liu Shang, all came from the Ming Dynasty, when they came to Shandong this time, they appeared as Haihan officials. Qin Wei wanted to remind them not to think that they would be ignored by the local people because they were Han Chinese.

As compatriots, do not think that the people here agree with the presence of the Haihan Army in the Ming Dynasty as the Haihan citizens.

Liu Shang had done research on Haihan's "history of invasion" in the Ming Dynasty, and knew that this was an inevitable phenomenon in the early stages of Haihan's occupation. After a few more years, the people in these areas would probably be proud of having another identity.

. Similar situations have occurred in Fuzhou and Guangzhou. Now we have to add Zhejiang. After the first batch of local people who took refuge in Haihan tasted the benefits, more and more people will choose to attach themselves to Haihan.

To survive and make profits, the direction of public opinion will naturally and slowly change. Haihan's role will gradually transition from "invader" to "ruler". By then, even if these people under Haihan's rule are allowed to return to the Ming Dynasty

, most of them will not be happy either.

As for the focus of publicity work aimed at these people, Liu Shang had already received relevant training when he was in Sanya. It was nothing more than highlighting Haihan's peaceful country and people's security, strong military force, generous welfare, etc., so that the public could understand the similarities and differences between Ming Dynasty and Haihan.

At the same time, try to erase the saying that Haihan "invaded the Ming Dynasty" and publicize these colonial activities as "cooperation between the two countries" to eliminate the hostility in the hearts of the people.

These propaganda measures are all Haihan’s past practical experience in various overseas colonies. They have specialized targeted propaganda methods to target the mentality of the people of all walks of life. There is no doubt about their effectiveness. However, what officers like Qin Wei learned

They are all about military political theory. This kind of publicity work for the people is relatively unfamiliar. Even if Liu Shang and others are new here, they will definitely have more solid theories than he, an officer.

While making the introduction, Qin Wei answered various questions raised by Liu Shang and others, and at the same time pointed out to them the scope of Haihan's existing control area on the map. Although Liu Shang had never been to Shandong, he looked at this map repeatedly on the road.

I have probably seen maps of the Shandong Peninsula a thousand times, and the place names pointed out by Qin Wei are not unfamiliar at all.

It took Haihan a year to occupy about one county in Dengzhou. This efficiency does not seem to be very high. However, if you take into account the distance from Haihan's homeland and the original owners of these areas, Haihan

This move by Han is very worthy of awe.

Liu Shang remembered that he had heard from the military yesterday that the main force of the Shandong garrison had already crossed the sea to fight in Liaodong. Since Haihan wanted to be far away, he had no intention of attacking the city in Shandong, otherwise the current occupied territory

The area should be far beyond Fushan County. From this, it can be inferred that Haihan still maintained a relatively restrained attitude towards the Ming Dynasty. He only took some small advantages, but had no real intention to invade or even subvert the Ming Dynasty.

After the interview with Qin Wei lasted all morning, Qin Wei took the initiative to stop the conversation and prepared to take Liu Shang and others to the cafeteria for lunch. But at this time, there was a commotion outside, and Qin Wei signaled Liu Shang and others to wait a moment.

Wait, he got up and went out to check.

After a while, Qin Wei came back with a rather ugly expression. When Liu Shang saw this, he took the initiative to ask. Qin Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened, but the colleague in charge of immigration affairs had a dispute with the civil affairs cadres in your team going north.

It seemed like there was quite a fuss."

Liu Shang immediately thought of Su Yu, who lived with him, and quickly asked: "Is there someone named Su?"

"It seems so." Qin Wei nodded and replied: "I saw that the gendarmerie had already gone, so I didn't get in."

Liu Shang's heart sank. He knew that the gendarmerie was a very special branch of the Haihan Army. Its function was to maintain military discipline and deal with disciplinary violations by soldiers. Generally speaking, the gendarmerie would only be seen when soldiers violated discipline or committed crimes.

The appearance of the team. Su Yu was still talking to himself last night that this job was a hot potato, but something happened today.

"Wait in the house first. The military police are blocking the entrance and exit outside. We will go to eat after they finish processing." Qin Wei seemed quite calm. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him. He just needs to wait patiently.

good.

Liu Shang was feeling a little restless, wondering if Su Yu was really so unlucky that something happened to him on the second day after arriving in Shandong.

After waiting for a long time, the gendarmerie team handling matters outside finally left, and Qin Wei took Liu Shang and others to the cafeteria for dinner. During this period, Liu Shang finally heard the inside story of the conflict that occurred in the morning.

The incident mainly arose due to immigration matters. It is said that when Su Yu was handing over work to the person in charge of the military, the other party refused to produce a detailed list and registration information of immigrants who had received subsidies in the past year, and Su Yu did not obtain the information.

He refused to sign the relevant handover documents. After the two sides argued for a long time, the military leader finally couldn't hold back his temper and beat Su Yu. As a result, the military police were called in.

After hearing this, Liu Shang couldn't help but thought to himself: "This Su Yu... was so afraid of trouble yesterday, but he got into big trouble in the end!"
