Chapter 1847 Officially taking over

Park Beixiu deliberately pretended to be confused. The purpose was of course to get Haehan to explain more clearly the benefits he could get, and then use this to measure whether it was worth the risk to persuade his boss to make concessions on the immigration issue. If Haehan presented the

The benefits are substantial enough, so it is not impossible to think about the issue of immigration again.

It was Liu Shang's idea to propose this plan, but it was up to Fu Li to decide how much benefit it would give to North Korean officials.

Fu Li then came up with two plans. One was to give Park Beixiu a one-time sum of money as an expense for him to manage the relationship, and the money was deposited in Haihan Bank, allowing Park Beixiu to withdraw it on his own;

The plan is to give Park a plantation somewhere outside North Korea, and the income will be deposited in Park's account every year. The income period can be as long as several decades. Park can also send people to the local area to manage and operate it.

Park Beok-soo can choose to get rich overnight or make a long-term fortune, and the latter has an additional benefit: it leaves him with an escape route overseas. If he wants to leave North Korea in the future, or send his family to expand overseas, this place

The industry will be the foundation for its foothold. Of course, Park Beixiu is still a confidant of North Korea's important minister Kim Sang-heon. With the end of the anti-Qing war, the rise of the main war faction in North Korea's official circles is a foregone conclusion, and the future is bright. This retreat seems

It's of no use at the moment.

In the end, Park Beixiu chose the first solution that was more beneficial to him at the moment. However, in order to ensure that it would succeed, Haehan would only give him 30% of the promised amount in advance. After the two countries reached a preliminary agreement on the immigration issue, Haehan

Only then will the remaining balance be paid to him through his bank account.

As for where this funding came from, in fact, the wool comes from the sheep. A sum of money was taken from the special military subsidy given to Haehan by North Korea to do this. The money that Park Buk-soo finally got came from the North Korean treasury.

Yes, Haihan actually didn’t pay for it.

Of course, this arrangement still needs the support of the military. After all, the money provided by North Korean officials was given to the Haihan Garrison in the name of military subsidies. The money was temporarily managed by the military, so Fu Li returned the money later.

You have to make a report to Qian Tiandun. But compared to the long-term benefits after opening the immigration channel, Qian Tiandun probably won't mind too much this kind of expenditure to bribe North Korean officials.

After the matter was settled, the atmosphere at the wine table became more relaxed. The issues that had not been reached at the negotiation table for several months were resolved satisfactorily at the wine table today. The efficiency of the negotiation was much better than that of the official

Formal consultations are much higher.

Perhaps because he was born in Lidong, he has been accustomed to drinking various home-brewed fruit wines since he was a child. Fu Li's drinking capacity is much better than Liu Shang's, and he even has enough energy to help Liu Shang, who is overwhelmed with alcohol, stop drinking. Here Park Beixiu plus two

His subordinates couldn't even drink Fu Li alone. In the end, the five of them drank nearly two jars of wine. Liu Shang finally lay down before the show was over. The condition of the three Koreans was not much better. Only Fu Li

You still have the energy to leave on your own.

Early the next morning, Fu Li and Liu Shang went to the headquarters to see Qian Tiandun and reported to him the results of the previous day's talks with North Korean officials. As expected, Qian Tiandun did not particularly care about the expenses incurred in bribing North Korean officials.

What I am more concerned about is the follow-up of this matter to urge North Korea to reach an agreement on the immigration issue as soon as possible.

"The money can be given, but the matter must be done well." Qian Tiandun stretched out his hand and nodded at Fu Li: "The road has been paved, and you will be responsible for this matter."

"A humble position will not disgrace your destiny!" Fu Li immediately and firmly replied. This was the first official task he took over after coming to North Korea, so naturally there was no room for failure. However, Liu Shang was about to leave office, and there was no one who was willing to help.

Colleagues, Fu Li will probably have to deal with many difficulties alone.

In the next few days, Fu Li was still busy with work handovers. The civil affairs management work of the Datong River base involved many countries. If Fu Li had not worked in Sanya for so many years, he would have been accustomed to internationalization.

The working environment and experience in dealing with people from all over the world are very rich. It would be difficult for another person to get started in such a short period of time.

Even so, Fu Li secretly complained about the cumbersome civil affairs management work. He used to be responsible for public security affairs, but now he is responsible for more than just the public security field. The daily work arrangements of these thousands of people are enough to make

People were dizzy.

Although Liu Shang established a civil affairs management organization in just two or three months after arriving here and trained a group of grassroots cadres promoted from the local area, the time for these people to receive training and join the job was too short, even in

It seems that Fu Li, a semi-layman, is not professional enough. Not to mention helping Fu Li to share his worries, Fu Li often has to personally check before arranging work for them.

But there is nothing to complain about. After all, it was only a few months between North Korea's request for military assistance and the construction of the Datong River base. Haihan simply did not have time to organize enough cadres to send them here, so he had to come from nearby Liaodong.

He and Shandong dispatched officials to respond to the emergency, and Liu Shang was one of them. Fu Li came to take over at this time, and he had already skipped the most troublesome period. It was much easier than when Liu Shang came.

The work during the day is not over yet. Every night, as Liu Shang said, people line up to treat Fu Li to a meal. This is not a relaxing meal and drink after work. Almost all the people who serve as guests are with Fu Li.

There are colleagues or subordinates with whom Fu Li has a working relationship, and they will all have their own interests and demands during the dinner. Fu Li must stay awake during the drunken moments, confirm everyone's attitudes and ideas, and build a local officialdom in his mind.

Network of interpersonal relationships.

These human contacts were a relatively novel experience for Fu Li after leaving the familiar environment of Sanya, and they also allowed him to learn more about how Haihan's overseas controlled areas operate. Many people who used to work in Sanya

Information that can only be understood through words now has more real feelings about being in someone's shoes.

Although Haihan's area of ​​control in North Korea is not large, it is quite special in nature, and the military base has virtually enjoyed many privileges. However, in Haihan's plan, in addition to the function of garrisoning troops after the war, this place will also have to

To assume some of the trade functions, a portion of the land will be set aside for the construction of shops, warehouses, civil docks and other facilities.

However, Sanya has not yet sent officials from the commercial department to set up commercial structures here. The Haihan and Daming merchant ships docked here are mostly spontaneous and lack unified management. Liu Shang suggested that Fu Li should integrate maritime trade into the local area as soon as possible after taking office.

As part of the plan, officially organized investment promotion activities will be launched to allow businessmen to join the local port construction project to accelerate the speed of local infrastructure construction.

A week after Fu Li arrived at the Datongjiang base, Liu Shang was finally leaving his post and returning to Liaodong. The day before he left, Fu Li invited Liu Shang as a host, and in addition to doing so, he also thanked him for his care during this time. Fu Li originally wanted to

I wanted to use this as an excuse to invite Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom to attend, but these two had already set off south to Seoul a few days ago to discuss various arrangements for post-war affairs with the King of Korea, and they happened to miss the time.

"Let's go and say goodbye. I don't know when we will meet next time. Director Liu, please don't be polite to me today. You have to drink this cup!" Fu Li took the initiative to raise his glass to invite me.

Liu Shang raised his glass with a wry smile and said, "I'll just drink this cup, but Director Fu, don't try to persuade me anymore, otherwise I'll have to take another step first."

Joking aside, Liu Shang drank half of the glass of wine when Fu Li asked him to put it down. Liu Shang was really drunk and the dinner could not go on.

Liu Shang put down his wine glass and said: "It's only more than two hundred nautical miles from the Datong River base to Port Arthur. There will be many opportunities to move around in the future. Whenever Director Fu is free, he can come to Jinzhou for a few days at any time."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to have time for a while!" Fu Li said with emotion: "A lot of work is planned, I guess there won't be any holidays this year. If you really want to come to Jinzhou, it will only depend on when you have a business trip.

opportunity.”

After sending Liu Shang away, Fu Li didn't think much about the next meeting. Now Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun have gone to Seoul, and Morgan is going to Shandong with his sniper team for training. The civil and military officials in this base

Even Fu Li and Gao Qiaonan are the two who are temporarily in charge, and there are still a lot of things to deal with. In the next period of time, he may also experience the feeling that Liu Shang had not even a sound sleep some time ago.

.

At this time, Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom had arrived in Seoul on a warship, accompanied by Annan military attache Zheng Tinghe and Portuguese military attaché Simao. They would also start negotiations with North Korea on trade issues. Due to their status, the Fujian Navy

No representative was sent to participate in this meeting. After all, it was impossible for Xu Yuzhuo to reach any agreement with North Korea on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, it might cause the Ming Dynasty envoys stationed in Seoul to gain unnecessary leverage.

This time the Fujian Navy sent a fleet to join the coalition forces to send troops to Korea without permission from the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it was an unauthorized expedition. Of course, the court did not receive any news, but if the Fujian garrison was punished for this, it would not only be useless but also have a bad impact.

, it only highlighted the poor control of the imperial court over the local garrison, so the imperial court and the Ministry of War also pretended not to know about this and allowed the Fujian Navy to do whatever they wanted.

As long as the officers of the Fujian Navy do not meet with the Ming envoys in North Korea, everyone can pretend that nothing happened, and the North Korean authorities will naturally not take the initiative to mention this embarrassing situation to one of them. Therefore.

After the war, Xu Yuzhuo did not go to Seoul with General Haihan, but took the naval fleet to the Yalu River to ensure that the Qing army would not launch another counterattack.

As the savior of North Korea, Wang Tom and his entourage naturally received extremely high courtesy. North Korean King Li Zhu held a grand welcome ceremony on the bank of the Han River, with Kim Sang-hun as the representative present to welcome the arrival of the coalition generals. And King Li Zhu

He also left Gyeongbokgung Palace and led his ministers to meet the allied generals outside Gwanghwamun. He went to greet the envoys sent by the sovereign country, Ming Dynasty, and the scene was just like this.

After the guests and hosts met and exchanged pleasantries, Li Zhu welcomed the guests into the palace and hosted a banquet. This time, the coalition sent troops to repel the Qing invasion, and chased them back to the north of the Yalu River. Li Zhu said

He was very satisfied with this. During the banquet, he unabashedly called the coalition forces led by Haihan "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" and praised their performance full of praise.

"You have kept your word and sent troops to help our country retreat from the enemy. From now on, your army will be stationed along the Datong River, and our country will no longer have to worry about Qing invasion!" Li Zhu did not think that the Haihan Army was stationed on North Korean soil.

No problem, but I think this can bring me more security.

"Since we are allies, this is what we should do. Your Majesty the King has thanked you." Wang Tom said politely. Of course, this politeness is partly due to the huge military expenditure provided by North Korea. After all, people spend money to buy peace.

, Haihan will naturally give the safest treatment after receiving the money.

Li Zhu was actually very glad that he had chosen to form a military alliance with Haihan before. Otherwise, he would have had nowhere else to send reinforcements this time when the Qing army invaded. The Ming Dynasty, which had the Ni Bodhisattva crossing the river, would definitely not send troops. He would have sent troops long ago.

After asking the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, they gave some high-sounding excuses and finally agreed to suggest that the court issue an order to Dongjiang Town to help North Korea resist the Qing army.

But the problem is that everyone in Dongjiang Town has defected to Haihan a long time ago, and even their families have moved from Pidao to Jinzhou. No matter how many imperial edicts are issued by the Ming Dynasty, they cannot mobilize this army. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty not to do this.

I understand. To put it bluntly, I just want to put things aside and don't want to allocate more troops to save North Korea amid internal and external troubles.

Li Zhu could understand Ming's choice, but he would not accept such an arrangement. In his opinion, the suzerain should have the strength of the suzerain. Even the Qing army would not dare to touch it and let North Korea be beaten. What would be the use of such a suzerain? On the other hand, Hai Hai

Although the Han Dynasty was relatively philistine, they actually brought thousands of troops from the South China Sea, fought in Korea for several months, and drove the once arrogant Qing army back to their home base. This is what a leading brother should do.

group.

So after the war, Li Zhu also figured out that since the Ming Dynasty could no longer provide North Korea with the protection it deserved, and Haihan had a clear advantage in this regard, there was no need for North Korea to remain respectful to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the benefits of having a good relationship with Haehan are greater. Joining a military alliance led by Haehan may be the best way for North Korea to protect itself in the future.

Of course, just garrisoning troops is not enough. Li Jie also needs Haihan to provide more military assistance, such as training troops on his behalf, training officers, purchasing weapons and equipment produced by Haihan, etc. But these measures to increase military strength cost money

There is a lot of money, so North Korea now needs new means to expand its financial channels. It cannot always count on the landowners in the south to raise donations to support the operation of the army.
