Chapter 501 Bright Attitude

In addition to military trends, at this anniversary meeting, the Executive Committee also re-divided the administrative establishment of each region. For example, the Sanya Region was officially established as Sanya City, with jurisdiction over Tiandu, Tieliang and

Gang, Nanshan, Yacheng and other county-level units - yes, Yacheng, which was originally the seat of Yazhou in the Ming Dynasty, was too remote on the new administrative planning map, and its population was far less than that of Sanya Port and Shengli Port

The prosperous area here can only exist as a county-level unit on Haihan's administrative territory.

However, currently only the Sanya area of ​​the Haihan-controlled areas on Qiongzhou Island is listed as a municipal-level unit, while Yinggehai, Changhua and other places are unified at the county level. As for the areas still under the joint control of the Ming Dynasty and Haihan, such as

Lingshui, Wanzhou, Lehui and other places have not yet made clear administrative divisions - these areas are not controlled by Haihan to the same extent as Yacheng. It is not appropriate to openly implement a comprehensive takeover before Haihan is ready for war.

.

The situation in Annan is relatively more complicated. Although Haihan has many territories here, including the earliest developed Black Earth Port area, it currently exists in the name of "Haihan Concession". If it is implemented directly according to Haihan's wishes,

Regarding administrative divisions, the Annan court would probably not be happy to see this situation arise. Considering the alliance with the Annan court, the Executive Committee could only continue to unify the "concessions" in the Annan area into the "Annan Special Administrative Region"

, its seat of government is still located in Black Earth Port in Beibu Gulf.

This kind of administrative division is likely to only have a lifespan of one year, because various ports in the south have begun to implement infrastructure projects. When these ports are completed in a year, the administrative relationship will be too bureaucratic to be subordinate to the distant Black Earth Port——

From the several new ports all the way south from Da Nang, the voyage to Sanya is much closer than to Black Tu Port. By then, the administrative divisions of Annan will probably be divided into two large administrative regions, north and south, with Zhengjiang and Hengshan as the boundary.

The Guangdong side has not achieved much results yet. At least it will have to wait until there is progress on Hong Kong Island before making the next administrative plan. However, in order to adapt to the establishment of the Guangdong Military Region, the entire administrative structure originally belonged to the Guangdong Office

As a result, the tide has risen, and it has been promoted to the "Guangdong Special Administrative Region". Although the jurisdiction of this administrative region is actually just a few ports that are not too large, the territory is not large and the authority is not small. Currently, Haihan has more than 60% of the external port.

Trade and 70% of the immigrants come from the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, which is the main trade channel between Haihan and Ming Dynasty. The progress here will directly affect the development of the entire Haihan.

Ma Like, the head of the Guangdong Office in Guangdong, finally made a name for himself, and was naturally appointed as the chief administrative officer of Guangdong District, becoming a real "head". Along with him, the current Heitugang was also awarded the same level position.

Xie Chun, the chief administrative officer of Xie Chun, a man from a shipping company who had been clamoring to join the army and lead soldiers, finally embarked on the road of politics, and climbed to the middle of the mountain quite smoothly, which also made many people

They all broke their glasses.

It is the naturalized cadres at the grassroots level who have benefited the most from this adjustment of administrative structures, and hundreds of people have been promoted. Many naturalized citizens who were still weak-legged or down-and-out scholars two or three years ago were only in the

They did some odd jobs under the traversers, but they were all promoted to township cadres in this adjustment. While these naturalized cadres are happy, few people may realize that they will be from now on.

It is difficult to turn back, and it is impossible to return to being an obedient citizen under the Ming Dynasty.

The vast majority of people under Haihan's rule got a share of this feast, and even if they didn't get it, they got two days of paid leave. However, there were still a handful of people who were uneasy about the various adjustments this time, because these

These measures will fundamentally change their original living conditions.

As soon as Tao Donglai returned to his office, the guard came in and reported: "General Luo and President Wei Qian have been waiting for you in the reception room for a long time."

"These two guys must have heard something!" Tao Donglai muttered in his heart and asked the guards to bring them in. Haihan's various new policies this time were not particularly emphasized except for military aspects.

To keep it secret, there have long been rumors among the people that the Haihan Society will make major external moves in the near future - recruiting and expanding the army, launching new ships, training cadres, and even military chiefs from other places returning to Victory Port collectively. All signs have become this

Theoretical support basis.

After the two came in and sat down, they exchanged a few words. Wei Ping couldn't hold it back and hurriedly brought the topic to the point: "Mr. Tao, I heard that the Executive Committee plans to annex Yacheng. Is this news true?"

"The word annexation doesn't sound right, but the meaning is probably correct." Tao Donglai did not deny the question raised by Wei Ping: "Considering the need for unified planning of the Sanya area, we believe that Yacheng is no longer suitable to be independent of Sanya.

It is outside the larger region, so a county-level agency needs to be set up to manage the Yacheng area."

Wei Ping didn't have the time to ponder the meaning of these words in Tao Donglai's words, so he quickly asked: "Mr. Tao, does Haihan's move have some profound meaning?"

"I can't say what I mean. If I must say it, I think it should be a matter of course!" Tao Donglai said slowly: "Actually, you two also know very well that Yacheng is no longer a territory of the Ming Dynasty, but we think

The time is not yet ripe, so it has not been officially brought under the rule."

In front of these two people, Tao Donglai didn't say much to cover up. Ever since Luo Shengdong's father-in-law Zhang Qing was pushed to the position of magistrate by Haihan, Haihan had already achieved de facto control over Yacheng.

Later, it was gradually disbanded, replaced the local garrison in Yacheng, and replaced all the local armed forces with the Haihan Militia. The Yazhou Garrison Office gradually replaced the Yazhou Prefecture to manage administrative affairs, and the entire Ming Dynasty in Yazhou was emptied out.

Government.

Ming officials in Yacheng could only watch this change silently, because they knew very well what the consequences of resistance would be. Those who dared to do this had already disappeared from the area silently. Those of them who survived

All the people can do is cooperate with Haihan's arrangements as much as possible, so that at least they can get a good income every month. Young people like Luo Shengdong and Wei Ping simply moved to Sanya

After settling here, most of their daily work is working for Haihan. Compared with those naturalized cadres, what they lack is probably just a reputation.

Although these people have become accustomed to working under the command of the Haihan Executive Committee, it is still difficult for them to accept such a fact when the time comes when they really have to abandon their past identities. And Haihan also feels this

There are expectations. In fact, the next step has been planned for the future ownership of these people.

Tao Donglai continued: "For officials in Yacheng, we have prepared three options. First, resign from the official position and leave the local area. We will send people and ships to escort them back to Guangzhou for free. Second, after resigning from the official position,

If you stay locally, whether you are a charterer or want to do some business, we will provide you with the greatest convenience. The third way is to switch camps and join us, and give up all the identities of Ming Dynasty from now on. We can treat him as

According to the situation and ability, the corresponding Haihan official position will be given!"

Tao Donglai's eyes went back and forth between the two people's faces: "We will set aside a month for consideration, and hope that everyone can carefully make the decision that is best for themselves!"

"Hai Han...are we really going to establish a country?" Luo Shengdong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly choked out a sentence from his throat. He had anticipated this two years ago, and as time went by, he and Hai Han

With the development and growth of Han Dynasty, this premonition is getting stronger and stronger, but the specific time has never been determined. But what Tao Donglai just said has obviously torn off the disguise of the past, revealing what Haihan has been hiding.

The ferocious side.

"If everything goes well, Haihan will be founded in about a year." Tao Donglai stated the time limit without hesitation.

"The executive committee is really not willing to fight against Ming Dynasty for this?" Luo Shengdong stared at Tao Donglai's eyes, hoping to see a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

However, Tao Donglai's answer was extremely firm: "The Executive Committee believes that at this stage, the importance of founding the country is above all else. If a war breaks out with Ming Dynasty because of this, then we will try our best to resolve the war as quickly as possible, so that

The relationship between Haihan and Ming returned to a peaceful state."

Tao Donglai's tone was full of natural confidence. Ironically, after the two Ming military attachés who were originally hostile to this statement looked at each other, they acquiesced to Tao Donglai's statement and did not refute it.

In their view, it is indeed difficult for the Ming Dynasty's military force to confront the Haihan militia equipped with powerful firearms, especially the gap in combat power at sea. If the Ming Dynasty's navy wants to expedition to Sanya, the end will be simply impossible.

Imagine.

"Can I wait until I go back to discuss this matter with my family before replying?" Luo Shengdong asked tentatively.

"No problem at all." Tao Donglai nodded and reminded him: "But I hope you have an idea of ​​what you can say to your family and what you can't say. There are some things that too many people know about, so it's hard for you

It’s not necessarily a good thing to say.”

"I understand." Of course Luo Shengdong understood the meaning of Tao Donglai's words. If the contents of what he just discussed were exposed and reported to the court by someone with an intention to know, the first people to be unlucky would not be the Haihan people, but people like them.

Help the Ming officers who have been attached to Haihan for more than two years, and even include other people in Yacheng officialdom. The lightest charge is dereliction of duty, and the more serious one is likely to be accused of colluding with the rebellious party and conspiring to rebel.

For such a serious crime, even if the entire family is not executed, then the entire family must be confiscated and exiled.

After sending away the restless duo, Tao Donglai soon welcomed a new guest, the first and second leaders of the security department came to visit.

He Xi returned to Victory Port with Maliko on the same boat three days ago, and they happened to be stuck before the celebration started. However, he did not rest in the past few days. He held many meetings in the Security Department to listen to the work of various departments.

report and discuss some work arrangements and action plans for the next year.

Due to the special nature of the Ministry of Security, they learned of the decisions announced by the Executive Committee during the celebration earlier than the outside world, and made arrangements for the direction of intelligence work in advance. Today, the two leaders in charge

We came together to visit Tao Donglai and gave him an informal report on the preparations.

"This is an action plan drafted by the Ministry of Security. The content is mainly about the arrangements for intelligence work in the Ming-ruled areas of Danzhou, Qiongzhou Fucheng and Wenchang this year." He Xi said as he handed the document to Tao Donglai.

On the desk: "Director Hao is handling the specific affairs, so if you have any questions, don't embarrass me. Director Hao will be responsible for answering questions."

Tao Donglai nodded, picked up the document and looked through it quickly.

As early as the second half of 1627, the security department had begun to dispatch personnel to various cities in the north of Hainan Island. However, at that time, the organization of the security department had not yet been formed, and there were no professional intelligence personnel. Therefore, the people sent out

Rather than being a spy, it is better to say that it is a front line for the commercial department. It was not until the Ministry of Security was formally established last year that the intelligence system stationed in various northern states and counties began to officially operate. If you want to make a horizontal comparison, the Ministry of Security has several offices in the north.

The city's operating conditions are actually not comparable to He Xi's operational results in Guangdong.

Of course, He Xi's environment and the authority he holds are also different. Recruiting people, formulating plans, and implementing actions that require layer-by-level approval at the base camp can all be decided by him alone, and the funding is almost

To the extent that there are no restrictions, it can be said that the freedom of movement is much greater than here at the base camp.

The action plan currently prepared by the Ministry of Security is actually new wine in old bottles, operating according to the previous routine. How did Haihan gradually break into prefectures and counties like Yacheng, use various means to bribe Ming officials, and monitor

Local defense continues to follow the same example. However, due to time constraints, Haihan probably does not have much time to carry out peaceful evolution of Ming cities one by one as before, so the intensity of collecting intelligence, especially military intelligence, is

It has been increased, and the frequency of intelligence delivery will also increase from once every half month to once every ten days.

"In several cities in the north, I plan to go there in person in a few days after things have been sorted out to see the actual situation, and then make modifications based on this action plan." He Xi took the initiative to inform them of his next plan.

"It just so happens that the Military Commission has a similar plan. You can ask Wang Tom to make a summary in advance and ask the military to cooperate with the Ministry of Security's actions." Tao Donglai responded.

"Is Tom Wang planning to go there to inspect the battlefield?" He Xi smiled and said, "I've been there several times, so I can serve as a free tour guide for him."
