Chapter 1018 Miaoli

Although Ning Qi also agrees with the concept of industrialized management in the field of education, he does not want to turn this industry into a pure business. If the business results are calculated based on the amount of economic benefits, it will definitely violate his role as an educator.

The professional beliefs adhered to by workers. The promotion of Haihan Educational Institutions to other countries is of greater political significance. As long as there is a way, we must continue even if we lose money. But if we operate according to Schneider's method, it will

It is inevitable that the smell of copper will become stronger, and it is also inconsistent with Ning Qi's original intention of advocating this matter.

Of course, Ning Qi also knew that Schneider's words were mostly joking. Businessmen from various countries who came to Schneider to discuss business during this celebration had already lined up in a long queue. There were a lot of profitable deals waiting for him to handle, so how could he have the energy?

He came to take care of the "small business" of opening a school. When Ning Qi told him about Zhang Jinbao just now, he didn't even carefully inquire about Zhang Jinbao's assets and the amount of loans he needed. He agreed immediately. On the one hand

It was out of trust in Ning Qi, and on the other hand, he really didn't take this small business too seriously. Even if Ning Qi really handed over the responsibility to Schneider, he would probably be too busy, and would probably leave it to his subordinates in the end.

Did it.

Instead of turning this matter into a pure business, Ning Qi would rather leave it to practitioners in the education industry, such as Zhang Jinbao, who is a practical person with ideas. Ning Qi decided to wait until he is done with his work here.

Let’s find some time to talk to Zhang Jinbao and discuss the possibility of promoting the private vocational education system abroad.

Schneider only briefly communicated with Ning Qi for a moment before being surrounded by several foreign envoys. The establishment of the South China Sea Trade Alliance was a great change for the countries in the region. The countries that had already joined wanted to improve the trade rules.

In the process of formulating, countries that have not yet participated are trying their best to figure out what kind of benefits they can enjoy after joining this international organization and what they need to pay. As the initiator of this international organization, Haihan

The Minister of Commerce, the leader in charge, has naturally become the target of inquiries from representatives from various countries.

For these countries in the South China Sea region in this era, although international trade is nothing new, they basically all play their own game. There are no rules of the game that are recognized by all countries or common in the region. Haihan takes the lead in organizing South China Sea trade.

The alliance and the formulation of relevant trade systems are a relatively novel experience for most countries. Fortunately, countries such as Annam, Champa, Portugal, and the Netherlands have responded for their own purposes. Fu Guang of the Ming Dynasty

The governments of both provinces have also acquiesced in the legitimacy of this international organization, and the influence of this trade alliance is enough to drive other countries to join.

But even if they choose to join a trade alliance, each country has its own selfish motives. It is difficult to require every member of such a relatively loose international organization to fully abide by a unified system in operation, and each country has its own selfish interests.

There are deviations in the understanding of these trade systems, and it is naturally difficult to maintain the same standards when implementing them. These are problems that exist objectively and are difficult to completely solve. However, Schneider clearly prioritized the matters, and what Haihan needed was not

It is not that these countries show an attitude of absolute obedience in the field of international trade, but they must control the voice of international trade in the region and allow member states to open the door to trade with Haihan.

For Haihan, as long as the trade channels are opened, everything else is easy. The political, military, cultural and other projects promoted by Haihan have always been opened up by trade, and will be followed up gradually in the future. In this way, we will encounter

The resistance will be relatively smaller. This set of operating methods already has relatively mature experience and routines. What Schneider has to do is to bring these countries that are interested in the trade brought by Haihan into the South China Sea Trade Alliance one by one.

In this organization, considerable economic gains are used to break down the alertness of these countries, and then projects in other fields are introduced bit by bit to gradually transform local society.

While the international exchanges during the celebration were still in full swing, a fleet of more than 30 sailing ships quietly set out from Victory Port in the early morning of April 4th. Because there have been many large fleets entering and leaving Sanya recently, this

The departure of the fleet did not attract public attention. Only a few staff at the port witnessed Tao Donglai and many other senior officials coming to see the fleet off. As for the destination it sailed to, it was only limited to a few people.

Only the executives know.

In fact, most of the passengers in this fleet do not know the specific place they are going to. The task they were given was just to go to Taiwan Island to complete a project. As for where the project is and how long the construction will take,

There is no specific information at all. And everyone is required to keep this mission strictly confidential, and they are not allowed to talk about it even in front of their families. Most people will not be notified of the news of their mission by a dedicated person even after they set off.

family.

The official leading this fleet is the Minister of Industry, Bai Kesi. This is also the first time he has traveled far away in the seven years since time travel. The farthest he went before was to Changhua to inspect the local smelting industry, and

Everyone has taken care of the entire itinerary, so you don’t have to worry about it at all. But this time when we went to Taiwan, Bai Kesi was responsible for coordinating and commanding a team of thousands of people, and he had to take root in a poor and poor place. This was almost the way to land in Sanya.

Reprinted, the only difference is that now there are more people under my command, and I no longer need to do everything myself, I just need to give orders.

Fortunately, he was not the only time traveler in this team. Morgan, who was in charge of armed defense, and Liu Shanxia, ​​who was in charge of engineering construction, were also traveling with him. After the team arrived in Miaoli, Taiwan, Tian Yeyou, the director of the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry, would also come from Taipei.

Jilong Port rushed over to join them and implement the oil drilling project together. Among the projects Haihan has implemented overseas in recent years, it is one of the few situations where so many time travelers can participate at the same time.

Since most of the ships in this fleet are cargo ships loaded with various supplies, they move relatively slowly, with an average speed of only about five knots. After setting off from Victory Port, the fleet headed north along the east coast,

After approaching the coastline of Zhaoqing Prefecture, Guangdong, it turned east and took four days to reach Hong Kong Island at the Pearl River Estuary. The fleet will stay here for a day for a short rest and replenishment. In order to avoid attracting attention, the fleet

It did not even sail into the Causeway Bay in the northern waters of Hong Kong Island and dock. Instead, it chose the early-developed Zhennan Port in the south of Hong Kong Island and docked at the military wharf on Ap Lei Chau.

You Yihan, who is currently serving as the Chief Administrative Affairs Officer in Hong Kong, took a boat from Causeway Bay after receiving the news, and happened to catch the fleet docking in Hong Kong.

"Thank you for your hard work, this is many days earlier than previously announced! Did you set off from Sanya in advance?" You Yihan asked after a few pleasantries. He had received a telegram notification from Sanya before, saying

In the near future, a large fleet will head north to Taiwan, and will stop at Hong Kong Island for supplies. The local government needs to do its best to cooperate with the demand. However, the time mentioned in the telegram was at least late April, and I did not expect this fleet to arrive.

It was much earlier than expected, and I only sent a telegram to inform the Hong Kong Management Committee when we were approaching Hong Kong waters. Otherwise, You Yihan would not have had to rush over for the meeting in such a hurry.

"Originally it was expected to start in the middle of the year, but the materials and personnel were in place earlier than expected, so we started early." Bai Kesi explained to You Yihan: "The construction period of this project is relatively long, and if we start construction earlier, we can put it into production earlier."

You Yihan didn't know the purpose of this fleet going to Taiwan Island, so he asked curiously: "What project created such a large formation? The last time such a large fleet transited from Hong Kong Island, it was the fleet led by Shi Diwen.

Go to Fujian to fight."

You Yihan was not an outsider, so Bai Kesi did not hide the truth and told him everything, but still told him to keep it secret and not to publicize it.

As a time traveler, You Yihan is naturally very aware of the great significance of oil to industrial civilization, and it is reasonable for Sanya to organize such a large fleet to rush to Taiwan. If it were him, You Yihan, on the executive committee

If he serves in the association, he may be even more anxious than the current group of people to get oil out of the ground. However, there is actually oil on the island of Taiwan, which is an unheard-of news for him.

After staying in Zhennan Port for a day, the fleet set off on April 10, passing through the Shuangsimen Waterway along the southern waters of Hong Kong Island, and then sailed along the coasts of Huizhou Prefecture and Chaozhou Prefecture toward the Fujian Strait. For confidentiality reasons, this

The fleet did not dock again in Guangdong waters, but sailed directly to Penghu. On the morning of the 14th, the fleet successfully arrived at the naval base in Magong Port, Penghu.

Due to the further expansion of the Haihan territory in the past year, Penghu is no longer the front line at the outermost edge of the Haihan territory. Therefore, the number of troops currently stationed in Penghu has also been reduced a lot. The special operations forces originally stationed here

The battalion has changed its location to Dinghai Port in Zhoushan, Zhejiang. The current military officer in Zhoushan is Yu Yao, the former military attaché in the Guangdong Office. He was also transferred from Guangzhou to Penghu last year to take over the seat left by Qian Tiandun.

After arriving in Penghu, the fleet had to stay for a few days. Baikes and others had to listen to the opinions of the local garrison and formulate a complete action plan before landing in Miaoli.

Yu Yao received the notice from the Executive Committee much earlier than on Hong Kong Island, because he not only assumed the task of advancing the base here, but also collected as much local intelligence information as possible before the arrival of the fleet, so as to provide

Make preparations for the smooth implementation of the project.

"I took a team to Miaoli late last month, and I will tell you the general situation first." Yu Yao said lightly, as if this trip was as relaxing as taking a walk in his own backyard.

Yu Yao walked to the map that had been hung up and introduced the local situation in Miaoli to Bai Kesi and others.

Miaoli is actually a name that travelers copied from later generations, and this place actually does not have an exact place name in this era. The aboriginal people living here are the Dajia tribe, which can be considered a branch of the Pingpu tribe.

The local settlement of the Jia people was named Maolishe. Later, Han immigrants adopted the homophonic pronunciation and named the place Miaoli.

Miaoli Mountains have more plains than plains. The main terrain is the river impact fan on the west side of the Snow Mountain Mountains. Due to constant erosion by rivers, the local hilly and valley terrain is very common. Chusuangkeng, the location of the underground oil field currently controlled by Haihan, is located in one of them.

In the river valley, there is still almost thirty kilometers away from the coast. In terms of the environment of this era, this distance is not really close. You must know that it took Haihan a year or two to get through Changhua to Shiluzhi.

There is a land passage between them, and that distance is only about ten kilometers longer than here.

After Yu Yao went to the local area to investigate, he thought that if he wanted to build a road to the inland in this wilderness, it would probably take a year and a half. However, there is a road between the seaside and Chulunkeng called

In order to make the small river of Houlongxi navigable, materials and personnel can be sent to Chulunkeng by water in the early stage of construction. But the more troublesome thing is that the water depth of this small river is limited. Ordinary sea-going ships will most likely run aground if they enter, and they have to use flat bottoms.

Only a boat will do.

Regarding this point, Yu Yao has prepared a batch of inland river flat-bottomed boats for them, which can be towed to the local area for use. However, the navigation capacity of this Houlong River is limited. If it is to be used as the main means of transportation for a long time, then

It is estimated that it will still be a bit difficult. The safest way is probably to build a land passage along the waterway, but Yu Yao is only the military chief of Penghu, and this kind of infrastructure project is not something he can make decisions on his own. He can only make decisions here.

It was mentioned at the meeting. How to deal with it depends on the opinions of Bai Kesi and others.

After listening to Yu Yao's introduction, Bai Kesi first expressed his gratitude to him for his investigative work, and then began to ask detailed questions: "Does Chulunkeng belong to the territory of a certain tribe? When we enter that area, will there be any encounters with the aborigines?

Exclusion or even expulsion by force?”

Yu Yao said: "The Dajia tribe has about ten tribes in the mountainous area near Miaoli. To be honest, we don't have much information about the sphere of influence of these tribes. But what is certain is that there are several tribes near Chusulukeng.

When we visited the community last time, the attitude shown by the aborigines was not particularly friendly. Personally, I am not optimistic about the possibility of peaceful coexistence. If we move into the mountainous areas on a large scale, we are likely to encounter conflicts with the aborigines.

Residents engaged in armed conflict."

Baikes said: "We have two companies of the army accompanying us this time. Do you think these troops can deal with the local aboriginal tribes?"

Yu Yao shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. If we open up the battle line and fight on the plains, our two companies of troops are enough to deal with the aborigines in the entire Miaoli area. But in the mountains and forests, how much can our soldiers do?

Its combat effectiveness is hard to say."
