Chapter 1843 New Position

Fu Li knew the reason why he was transferred to work overseas. After all, there were such big loopholes in the security work of important events at that time. As an official in charge, he must bear the corresponding responsibility. Fortunately, remedial measures were taken in time.

, no big trouble was caused, otherwise being dismissed from office would be a minor matter.

When he was transferred to North Korea to serve, Fu Li more or less had a mentality of making up for his past mistakes. He had already thought about keeping a low profile to avoid others asking about the reason why he was transferred from Sanya to overseas. However, after meeting Liu Shang, the other party

The reason for his transfer was not mentioned at all, which made Fu Li feel more comfortable, thinking that Liu Shang was discovered from the market by officials from the propaganda department, and then promoted to the Youth League in just a few months.

Later, he was sent to the north to serve, and he indeed had some skills in dealing with people.

Fu Li was originally from Li, and he had a straightforward temperament and was not very thoughtful. He was slowly raised by the city government after becoming an official in recent years. After Liu Shang's actions made him feel good, he did not like him.

No longer maintaining a reserved attitude towards him, he now exchanged cups and cups, enjoying himself happily. It really felt like a close friend reunited in a foreign land.

Although due to the environmental conditions, the food and drinks at the Jingfeng Banquet were not sumptuous, and could even be said to be a bit simple, far inferior to the restaurants in Sanya city that Fu Li was familiar with, the warm atmosphere during the banquet successfully eliminated the feeling he had just received.

The feeling of uneasiness in being in a strange environment. Even though he didn't know much about the details of the Datongjiang base, Fu Li already felt that his earlier choice to serve in North Korea was a wise decision.

The guests and hosts had a good time that night, and the night was uneventful. When Fu Li woke up the next day, he found that someone was waiting for him outside the house, saying he wanted to report to work. He had also seen this person at the dinner last night. He was a North Korean steward named Cui Ren.

He is responsible for managing the camp where North Korean migrant workers live. The reason why Fu Li was deeply impressed by this person was not only Cui Ren who took the initiative to toast him several times, but also because Liu Shang specifically mentioned to him that this person was available.

What is a usable person? According to Fu Li's understanding, one must be loyal and obedient, and the other must have certain talents. Cui Ren is a Korean, so it is too early to say that he is loyal, but his ability to observe people's emotions is definitely not bad.

, he has just come here, and the work handover has not even officially started, Cui Ren already knows that he is here to flatter him. As for what he is doing, he believes that Liu Shang will not recommend a drunken subordinate to him. In that case, he will only

It will appear that Liu Shang is blind and ignorant.

Fuli's coming to North Korea to take up a post in itself carries a certain sense of punishment, so he came alone without any close subordinates. Therefore, in addition to completing the work handover after arriving here, another very urgent task was to build a

His own team. Even if Liu Shang is willing to hand over to him the existing civil affairs management agencies and personnel in the base very cooperatively, in order to work here for a long time, he still has to have some reliable "own people". Now it's easy

If someone takes the initiative to seek refuge, this can save him a lot of time.

As for the so-called work report, Fu Li didn't take it seriously. Now that he has not completed the handover of work with Liu Shang, Cui Ren coming to report the work at this time is a bit unruly. More importantly, he wants to find a reason to report to

He just expressed his attitude. Fu Li was not new to officialdom, so he could easily understand Cui Ren's purpose.

"Manager Cui, since you are so free, can you take a little more time today to take me around the base and introduce the local situation?" Since the other party took the initiative to come to the door, Fu Li wanted to borrow this

opportunity to learn more about the Datongjiang base.

Regarding the situation of the Datongjiang base, Fu Li only knew very little information before arriving here. For example, this is a piece of land requested by the military from North Korea. Haihan will use this place as one of the main battlefields for the decisive battle with the Qing army, and in

After the war, the garrison existed as a permanent military base.

According to Haihan, this military base was part of an alliance with North Korea to provide military assistance. The purpose of establishing this military base was to better assist North Korea in resisting foreign enemies and establish a regional defense network against the Qing Dynasty.

However, Fu Li is very aware of Haihan's overseas expansion methods. He knows that although this land currently exists in the name of a military base, in a few years, it will inevitably become like Haihan's other overseas military bases.

It became a colony ruled by Haihan.

At present, this place is still managed by the military, but now that a civil affairs management agency has been established, sooner or later all civil affairs affairs will be transferred from the hands of the military to professional officials. And the reason why he came here is to take control of the affairs from the hands of Liu Shang

When taking over civil affairs-related work, the more you know about this place, the more conducive it will be to the development of future work.

Cui Ren had already received Liu Shang's advice before last night's banquet. He knew that this new young official would be his immediate boss for a period of time in the future, so he was very active in trying to perform. Since it is now in line with

If Li took the initiative to make the request, he would naturally not refuse and immediately agreed.

"Please wait a moment, my lord, I will call a carriage right now!"

The Datongjiang base is quite large. If you have to complete the inspection on foot, half a day may not be enough. Cui Ren flattered him to the end and immediately sent a carriage over. And Fu Li saw him when he was in Sanya.

I'm used to all kinds of goodwill methods like this, and I won't refuse at the moment.

Fu Li's residence is located on the east side of the Datong River base. Next to it is a small lake covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. It is one of the few places in the base with a relatively quiet environment. The base includes Qian Tiandun and others.

Almost all civil and military officials live nearby. It is almost the same distance from the Jiangan Pier in the south and the defense line in the north. Two roads have been specially built to lead to these two important places.

"Sir, from here to the south is the port area, to the north are the defense positions, and to the west are the military camps and the camps where civilians live. Which area do you want to visit?" Cui Ren asked for instructions.

"Let's go take a look at the defensive positions first!" When Fu Li was in Zhoushan, he heard that the Haihan Army defeated the offensive of tens of thousands of Qing troops with the Datong River behind him. Although winning battles against the Haihan Army was considered normal, Fu Li would eventually

It was his first time coming overseas, and he was still curious about such a large-scale battlefield, so he naturally wanted to take a look. As for entering the position, this was not a problem for him, and the military would definitely not

It was difficult for the officials who came from Sanya, not to mention that Liu Shang had already greeted several officers present during the banquet last night, asking them to try their best to make it easier for the new director Fu.

When the carriage they were riding in approached the position, it was stopped by the sentry on duty outside. According to the regulations of the base, non-military personnel must obtain written permission to enter and exit the position, or make unified arrangements by the military. Cui Ren took the initiative to go up

After their identities were revealed, an officer soon came to verify the identities of Cui Ren and Fu Li.

Although the officer did not know Fu Li, the identity verification process did not take too long and they were released. The officer also sent two soldiers to accompany them to prevent them from getting lost in the position - due to the trenches in front,

The carriage could no longer pass. Of course, in addition to acting as a tour guide, it was also intended to be used for surveillance. After all, when Fu Li entered the position, he had a Korean with him.

In fact, this is not the first time Cui Ren has entered this military restricted area. As early as when the northern front position was still under construction, he led the team here as a supervisor and stayed for a long time. This time with

When Fu Li came here, he could still quickly tell which trench and which fort were built by the construction team he led.

Because the Qing army had been driven away from the Korean border at this time, there was currently no external threat to the Datong River base, so there were no more troops stationed on the position, and only guard posts were set up in a few higher-lying places. Of course, ordinary civilians

It is still not possible to enter or leave this military restricted area at will, but those who can enter through the checkpoints can basically move around without restrictions in most areas of the position.

For Fu Li, who came to this kind of enemy front position for the first time, the scene in front of him was quite visually impactful. The entire defense line was several miles long, with a depth ranging from tens to hundreds of meters.

Nets, horses, parapets, small bastions, forts, and battle trenches were all mixed together. It is hard to imagine that such a large project was completed in just two or three months.

"Without this line of defense... your country's situation would have been even more passive!" Rao Shifuli was well aware of his country's engineering and construction capabilities, and he had to lament the existence of this line of defense.

Cui Ren quickly responded: "Your Excellency, you are right. At that time, the Qing army's march south was unstoppable. It was all thanks to Haihan to build this line of defense on the bank of the Datong River and drive the Qing army back to the north. If not, the Datong River would have

I am afraid that the land to the south has fallen long ago! The preservation of the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers in Korea depends on the heroic fighting of the Haihan Army!"

These words made Fu Li very comfortable. Haihan played the role of a savior overseas. As a citizen, he was naturally happy to hear praise from foreigners. Even if Haihan's dispatch of troops to aid Korea had a deeper and long-term strategic purpose, it still had a deeper and long-term strategic purpose.

It is true that Guo Zuo, who objectively protected North Korea, can continue. And civilians like Cui Ren, after receiving the protection of Haihan, do not have to worry about becoming the trophies of the Qing army and being kidnapped back to the country and distributed to those who have meritorious service in combat.

Soldiers are slaves. Although most of Cui Ren's words are flattering, they do reflect objective facts to a certain extent.

However, Cui Ren is just a supervisor after all. In terms of military theory knowledge, I am afraid that he does not have as much knowledge as Fu Li. Naturally, I cannot explain to him the beauty of the design and use of this line of defense here. Fu Li secretly made a decision in his heart and waited for free time.

When you get down, you must invite an officer who participated in the battle that day to explain the battle process to you.

Fu Li spent nearly two hours visiting the defense positions before leaving, and then Cui Ren led the way to the camp where local people lived. Fu Li knew that this was the target of his future work, so he cheered up and began to ask questions carefully on the road.

Get relevant information.

As soon as Fu Li asked, Cui Ren immediately knew that his new boss was not a layman who didn't know anything. The questions he asked were very targeted, so he did not dare to neglect and responded to his questions carefully, lest he

I didn't speak clearly enough and my new boss looked down on me.

At present, the camps in the base are mainly divided into three parts: military camps, Han camps, and Korean camps. After several conflicts broke out between Han refugees and Korean civilians in the early days, the headquarters adjusted the camps and arranged the general camps in

In the middle, the camps of Han and Koreans were separated, which could separate the people of the two countries and reduce the chance of conflict, and also enable timely dispatch to deal with various emergencies.

There were more than 6,000 North Koreans in the base at its peak, and there are still about 3,000 people in the base. They are divided into two adjacent camps in the north and south, and the two large camps are each divided into three camps with a size of 500 people.

Small campsite for easier management.

Cui Ren first worked as a clerk in the camp, and was later promoted to the steward of the small camp. Later, Liu Shang appreciated his ability and further promoted him to the general manager of the South Camp. If he wanted to move up, Cui Ren would

It is basically impossible, because the top leader in charge of managing the North Koreans in the base is an official sent by the North Korean government. There are even big shots like Kim Sang-heon sitting in the base. A small person like Cui Ren with no background has basically been exposed.

Reached the ceiling.

Cui Ren clearly understood that it would be difficult for him to get promotion opportunities in this place, unless he left North Korea and became a Haihan nationality. The number of Haihan civil affairs officials stationed locally was extremely limited, and there were far more vacant positions than in North Korean camps.

Much more. And the quickest and most effective way to do this is to have a good relationship with Haihan officials, especially his immediate boss, because based on what he knows about the immigration policy, the officials in charge of this matter should be able to easily

He is his new boss.

If you are just good at flattering, it will definitely not be enough to win the appreciation of your new boss. Liu Shang has already pointed out Haihan's basic employment principles to him. The first is loyalty, and the second is talent. No matter how good the personal relationship is, you still have to consider these in the end.

Two standards. He must seize the opportunity now and show his talents as much as possible in front of his new boss.

Fu Li asked Cui Ren some professional questions. In addition to collecting information, he also tested Cui Ren's intention. If this guy can only flatter others, then at most he will be kept as an errand boy from now on, but if it is as Liu Shang said,

He was such a usable person, and Fu Li was not afraid to recruit this Korean into his command. As for issues such as immigration and nationality, he had much more authority than Liu Shang to deal with them, and he could handle special matters when necessary.

What Fu Li now wants to know is the current demographic composition of the North Korean people in the base, the arrangement of labor tasks, the distribution of living materials, the official attitude of North Korea towards the issue of whether these people will stay or leave, etc. He has not met with North Korean officials yet, so he plans to first

Learn from Cui In what these North Korean workers really think.
