Chapter 1726 Lively Sanya

Although today's Haihan cannot be said to be a big country, it is definitely a powerful country in the Far East. The overseas colonies it controls are increasing year by year, and the distance from the mainland is getting farther and farther. The Haihan Executive Committee manages these overseas colonies.

Most of them can only be commanded by remote control, and the decision-making power of daily affairs is generally left to the local officials in charge.

As for non-colonial special overseas agencies, such as embassies, business stores, intelligence stations, etc., the Executive Committee can pay even less attention. Generally, the competent departments are responsible for the daily operations of these overseas agencies. Only when something happens

Only under certain special circumstances will it be brought to the Executive Committee for discussion. And the operations planned by the intelligence station under the Ministry of Security in distant Batavia, if it did not require diplomatic and financial assistance, would not actually cause any problems at all.

attention of the Executive Committee.

After handling this small matter submitted by He Xi, Ning Qi and Schneider turned their attention back to the work they were responsible for. As the heads of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they each have the task of receiving foreign guests today, and these guests from allied countries

Meeting distinguished guests is much more important than worrying about the fluctuation of food prices in Batavia.

In fact, Haihan had a tradition of holding annual celebrations long before the official announcement of the founding of the country in 1634. However, it used to be to commemorate the landing of Haihan pioneers in Yulin Bay. After the announcement of the founding of the country in 1634, it was logically named "National Day"

.

Although this year is only the third anniversary of the official founding of Haihan, it also coincides with the tenth anniversary of Operation Time Travel. Therefore, after extensive consultation within the Time Travel Society, the Executive Committee decided to hold a celebration during the National Day this year. By the way, we took this opportunity to invite Haihan and

Various countries that have established diplomatic relations sent personnel to attend the ceremony to further strengthen Haihan's international influence.

Of course, for a rare diplomatic opportunity like this, Haihan's usual practice will definitely include the arrangement of "cultural stage, economic drama". During the celebration, a series of economic and trade negotiation activities will be carried out, and some countries and countries will take this opportunity to sign.

trade cooperation projects between countries.

If only Ning Qi and Schneider were to handle all aspects of the affairs, they would be too busy even if they were exhausted. Therefore, the senior officials of the Executive Committee have been extremely busy recently, handling various matters during the celebration separately.

After entering late March, Pier 1 in Victory Port, which was specially used to receive VIPs, became busy. Invited guests from various countries arrived by boat almost every day. However, the guests arriving at the port today did not impress Ning Qi and

Schneider came out to receive him, but Defense Minister Yan Chujie was waiting here.

The guests who were able to be greeted by Yan Chujie were naturally of unusual status. The two big fortune ships slowly docked at the dock under the guidance of the navigation boat. The large and eye-catching "Xu" flags on the masts already indicated their status.

Owner.

Although the Fujian Emperor Xu Xinsu did not come to Sanya in person, he sent his most respected fourth son, Xu Yuzhuo, who now leads the Fujian Navy. Speaking of which, this was not the first time that Xu Laosi came to Sanya. The two families had just started back then.

During the cooperation, he came to Sanya as a student to receive professional training for nearly half a year, and he also knew the senior officials of the Haihan Executive Committee. To break it down, Yan Chujie was also one of his mentors.

Xu Yuzhuo hurriedly bowed to greet Yan Chujie after seeing him. Although he had not met Yan Chujie often, he had always been in awe of Haihan, the "Minister of War". After all, Haihan had expanded his territory at a rapid pace in recent years.

Yan Chujie, who is in charge of Haihan's military affairs, certainly deserves a lot of credit.

Yan Chujie raised his hand to support him and said, "It's been a hard journey all the way. After you set off from Hong Kong, you sent a telegram over there. I thought I would arrive in Sanya tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but I didn't expect to arrive today."

In fact, the two ships led by Xu Yuzhuo had already reported to Haihan when they left Fujian. During the period, they stayed in Hong Kong at the Pearl River Estuary for a day to replenish food and fresh water. When they left, the local government sent a telegram to Sanya to inform them.

, so that the diplomatic department can arrange reception matters in advance.

Xu Yuzhuo responded quickly: "The invitation letter sent by your country stated the date of the celebration. It has been delayed for several days due to bad weather on the way. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid of missing the main event. Therefore, after leaving Hong Kong the day before yesterday, I ordered to march at full speed. Be sure to

We had to get to Sanya earlier, but fortunately the journey south from Hong Kong was smooth sailing, so we arrived early."

Yan Chujie said: "The accommodation has been arranged at the Guest House, and there will be a welcome dinner in the evening. The guests attending the meeting are all the guests who have arrived in the past two days. You can make some preparations."

Xu Yuzhuo said: "Thank you, chief, for the arrangement. Someone is here!"

Xu Yuzhuo took a book from the attendant behind him and handed it to Yan Chujie with both hands: "This is a little thought prepared by my father. It's just a small gift, not respectful!"

Yan Chujie was not surprised by this. He took it and looked through it for a while, then handed it to his entourage and said politely: "Master Xu is so polite. We are all one of our own, and you still send so many things! Yan!

Thank you so much on behalf of the Executive Committee!"

There were only two invitations sent by Haihan to the Fujian government, and they were both delivered to Xu Xinsu's house. In addition to inviting representatives from the Xu family to come to Sanya to watch the ceremony, the other invitation was actually intended to invite representatives from the Fujian governor.

However, as for who to invite, Haihan simply left it to Xu Xinsu to make the decision, which was a great deal of face.

And Xu Xinsu naturally understood the special trust expressed by Haihan. Not only did she reciprocate the favor by sending Xu Yuzhuo to attend the celebration, but she also prepared a generous gift list. After having dealt with Haihan for so many years,

I also know that these people don’t really value gold and silver property that much, so there are no gold and silver ingots or other common things in this gift list. They are all kinds of rare specialties produced in the Ming Dynasty. Many of them are valuable but not marketable.

There are good things that you can't buy with money on the market.

Although Yan Chujie is a soldier, he has seen a lot of the world during his travels all over the world. One look at the contents of this gift list shows that Xu Xinsu put a lot of thought into it. Although it is not priceless, it still deserves his thanks.

Xu Yuzhuo said: "My father specially wanted to bring me a message to invite all the heads of the executive committee to visit Fujian at their convenience."

Yan Chujie smiled and said: "There will definitely be a chance. Please take good care of yourself, Mr. Xu. In the future, the Han army will go north to defeat the invaders. Maybe you can invite Mr. Xu to join the expedition."

Xu Yuzhuo said: "If I can be invited by Chief Yan, my father will definitely go there happily. He also often talks to us, the younger generation, about looking for opportunities to go out with the Haihan Army. But the place where Haihan started the war in the past two years is in the far north.

In the extreme south, a trip may take several months, and my father is busy with official duties and cannot leave Fujian for such a long time."

While the two were talking, they had already boarded a four-wheeled carriage waiting on the dock. After Yan Chujie's guard closed the door, the coachman whipped his whip, and the two horses in front started to pull the carriage forward. There were still people in front and behind the carriage.

There were four cavalry as escort, and the rest of the entourage had already boarded another caravan to follow. After the group left the dock, they headed north along the Victory Port Landscape Avenue.

Yan Chujie said: "Master Xu is very concerned about state affairs, which is admirable. However, if you still have to deal with everything personally, it would be too tiring. You should find time to go out and relax. The descendants of the Xu family have shown so many talents.

People, Master Xu should consider slowly handing over the burden to you, so that you can escape and enjoy the blessings."

Xu Yuzhuo smiled and said: "Although he is busy with work, my father actually enjoys it. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to ask Chief Yan to persuade him face to face."

Ever since Xu Xinsu embraced Haihan, the Xu family has followed the chickens and dogs to heaven. Many descendants of the direct and collateral families have entered the officialdom and the battlefield. The children of the Xu family who have mixed into official and semi-official positions have become famous in Fujian alone.

There were at least thirty or forty people, among whom Xu Xinsu's fourth son Xu Yuzhuo and his nephew Xu Jiaqi were the most outstanding. Both of them had one land and one sea, and they were already senior generals in charge of the army.

However, so far, Xu Xinsu does not seem to have revealed any plans to establish a successor, and the transfer of power in the Xu family will also have a certain impact on Haihan, so even a senior official like Yan Chujie will have to test out a few words whenever he has the opportunity.

, let’s see what the descendants of the Xu family think about this matter.

Xu Yuzhuo's answer was watertight. After hearing this, Yan Chujie did not ask any more questions to avoid leaving any traces. However, after listening to Xu Yuzhuo's words, he also wanted to ask Xu Xinsu's opinion in person when he saw him next time.

What thoughts do you have about the future successor? The Fujian Strait is an extremely important waterway for Haihan. Yan Chujie does not want the Xu family to have civil strife due to the transfer of power in a few years, thus affecting the navigation safety of the Fujian Strait.

The convoy soon passed through the urban area of ​​Sanya and arrived at the foot of the hillside where the Guest House is located. Xu Yuzhuo, who had just gotten off the carriage, noticed an acquaintance.

"Long time no see, General Xu!" The other party also saw Xu Yuzhuo and was the first to say hello.

"Long time no see, General Zheng!" Xu Yuzhuo immediately responded with clasped fists.

The man he called "General Zheng" was Zheng Ting, the second son of General Zheng Bai of the Pingnan State of Annan. When Xu Yuzhuo came to Sanya for military training, Zheng Ting was a foreign military officer trainee at the same time as him.

They had already gotten to know each other at that time. Later, after they completed their studies and returned to their respective countries, the opportunity to meet again was almost always during joint military operations or exercises organized by Haihan. Although the number was not many, they could drink together every time.

Yan Huan can be regarded as having some friendship.

"Is General Zheng here to attend the celebration on behalf of Annan Kingdom this time?" Xu Yu saw that Zheng Ting's entourage was still unloading boxes of luggage on the carriage. It seemed that he had just arrived here, so he guessed that the reason why he came to Sanya was

Same as myself.

Zheng Ting responded: "This time I am coming with the young prince as the deputy envoy of the mission."

The young prince Zheng Ting refers to is Zheng Zha, the eldest son of King Zheng Zhi of the Qing Dynasty who currently controls the power of Annan State. As one of Haihan's most staunch allies, Annan State has always attached great importance to maintaining the relationship between the two countries. This

Although the King of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zhe, did not come in person, his handling method was similar to that of Xu Xinsu, and he sent his eldest son Zheng Zha as a representative to Sanya to observe the ceremony.

Zheng Zao had been in charge of the trade between the two countries a few years ago, and he was quite familiar with the senior officials of Haihan. After he got off the ship at Victory Port, Ning Qi came to receive him. However, Zheng Zao did not come to the Guest House.

He just asked Zheng Ting to come over with his luggage and entourage to check in first, while he took Ning Qi by train to Tiandu Industrial Zone. Samples of the new weapons that will be launched to the allies in the second half of this year have already been trial-produced.

Can't wait to see the real thing.

After Yan Chujie handed over the affairs to the guest house, he said goodbye and left. With his status, coming forward to greet Xu Yuzhuo had given enough face to the Xu family in Fujian, so naturally he would not spend any more time as a companion. As for the Xu family's gift to Hai

As a congratulatory gift from the Han Dynasty, diplomats completed the delivery with Xu Yuzhuo at the Guest House.

Of course, Xu Yuzhuo didn't think there was anything wrong with this. On the way to Sanya, he even thought that the people who would come out to receive him would be ordinary officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the military. He never expected that Yan Chujie would deign to come out to greet him at the pier.

I, when I return to Fujian, this is an experience I can show off.

Before the settlement procedures for these two companies were completed, a third group of people arrived at the door of the guest hotel. This time it was Li Xi, the representative of North Korea, and his party, and accompanying him was the naval commander who had recently returned to Sanya from Manila.

Tom Wang.

One of the reasons why Wang Tom came forward to receive him was that last year Wang Tom led a fleet to Seoul, North Korea, and he signed a city-wide alliance with North Korea on behalf of Haihan. Therefore, he is quite famous personally in North Korea, so it was appropriate for him to come forward to receive him.

This can be regarded as giving North Korea enough face.

The second reason is that Li Xi actually stationed in the Haihan Northern Fleet as a military observer last year, and went south with Wang Tom's troops to Manila to observe the entire war process. During this process, Li Xi and the Haihan Army

The general gradually became familiar with him, and he spent a lot of time dealing with Wang Tom. Although he was not considered a close friend, he could be considered a familiar acquaintance after a few months.

After the war ended, Li Xi did not leave Manila immediately. Instead, he stayed there for a while and bought a lot of local specialties. He planned to send them back to Korea in the future to present to King Li Xi. And Li Xi went south this time.

One of Haihan's tasks was to attend this year's National Day event and set up the North Korean embassy in Sanya, so seeing the time approaching, Li Xi rushed back to Sanya by boat from Manila to attend the event.

Although Li Xi didn't know Zheng and Xu, he was introduced by Wang Tom and soon started chatting with them. He was sent to Haihan as an envoy, so he was naturally very proficient in Chinese, so it was not easy to communicate with these people.

There was a language barrier. When Zheng Ting and Xu Yuzhuo heard that this dear friend was a member of the Korean royal family, they did not dare to neglect him and secretly sighed at Haihan's wide contacts.
Chapter completed!
