Chapter 506 The reason for taking action

The prosperity of the areas surrounding the Guangdong Office will naturally help promote the Haihan values ​​​​and lifestyles that the Executive Committee has always advocated. However, in the special situation under the current order of the Executive Committee, let the Guangdong Office

Very embarrassed.

If the Executive Committee really wants to start a fight in Hainan Island, then the Office in Guangzhou must withdraw first. Otherwise, once the news spreads to Guangzhou, the first unlucky people will be the people in the Office in Guangdong. Although they are currently stationed here.

About one company of armed personnel has certain security protection capabilities, but if the high-ranking officials in Guangdong City want to destroy the Guangdong Office as a warning, then this manpower may not be able to prevent the Ming army from taking action. Stand back.

Wan Bu said that even if the military forces stationed in Guangzhou could protect the safety of the cadres, the Executive Committee would probably not be willing to take this risk with the lives of the time travellers.

The Executive Committee is well-intentioned, but it is extremely difficult for the Guangdong Office to implement this order. Not to mention the overall evacuation of Guangzhou, even if there is a slight disturbance, it will immediately affect the business district of Guangzhou. When Hong Kong Island was developed last year, the executive committee

The committee transferred You Yihan from the Office in Guangzhou to Hong Kong with a transfer order. However, after the news of this normal personnel transfer spread, it was interpreted by some people as "Haihan may give up the shipping business near Guangzhou." The reason is unknown.

He, because You Yihan is the freight supervisor of the Guangdong Office, he has always been responsible for managing all the cargo transportation business between Guangzhou and Sanya. And such gossip spread very quickly among the market, until the two companies were in charge of the Guangdong Office.

The labor guild that was responsible for the work came to inquire about it, and only then did the Guangdong Office in Guangdong Province react and began to refute the rumors.

If the Guangdong Office were to evacuate Guangzhou before the war started, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on Haihan's reputation, and it would even more likely affect the confidence in Haihan of the many people who depended on the Guangdong Office to make a living.

For Malik, who had just been promoted and was eager to start a big career in Guangdong, it was indeed a difficult thing to accept.

"Lao Ma, the order of the Executive Committee must be implemented in the end. There should be a period of preparation before the action. I think we should seize the time to think about it carefully and think about what reasonable reasons we can use to arrange for everyone to leave Guangzhou." Yu Yao.

After reading the telegram, he comforted me from the side.

"It's easy to leave, but it's hard to come back!" Maliko sighed: "It took us more than two years to run the Guangdong Office to the current level. If we leave, this place will be taken over by the Guangzhou government.

It will be difficult to come back!”

Yu Yao smiled and said: "Lao Ma, you are now the chief administrative officer of the Guangdong Region. It is not good for you to keep focusing on the small stall of the Guangdong Office. When we come back, do you think the Guangdong Office will still be limited to the Pearl River?

These hundred or so acres of land on the north shore?"

"Having said that, but...hey, forget it, I have to arrange time to go to Panyu, which is probably more troublesome than the Guangdong Office!" After listening to Yu Yao's persuasion, Maliko finally relaxed a little.

The situation in Panyu is just as Maliko expected. It is far more troublesome than the Guangdong Office, which does not have too many people. The population of the Lijiazhuang immigration camp remains at more than a thousand people all year round, and there are tight shipping schedules or occasional natural disasters.

During the period, the population peaked at three to four thousand people. Most of them were immigrants waiting to take a boat to Qiongzhou Island. Haihan's own manpower was only two to three hundred people.

But if an evacuation is to be arranged, transportation capacity will be a big problem. With so many people and materials, at least twenty large ships must be arranged to transport them all. This involves not only the Ministry of Shipping, but also business.

Civil affairs, military and other departments must be mobilized to coordinate the operation.

In addition, there is another difficult problem to solve in Panyu, which is the existence of Lijiazhuang. As the partner who has cooperated with Haihan for the longest time and has the closest relationship, the Li family is definitely someone Haihan will never give up easily. If Li Jifeng

Nodding, then it is not a problem for Haihan to send all the members of the Li family to settle in Qiongzhou Island. But the business under the name of the Li family has been operating for more than two hundred years, and "Fu Ruifeng" branches are spread all over Guangdong.

, to give up such a good business situation, both Li Jifeng and Haihan would probably feel it is a pity. What's more, there are many elderly people in their seventies and eighties in Lijiazhuang, who may not be willing to leave their homes and seek refuge at this age.

Sha Xi, the director of the Panyu Immigration Camp, now has a message from the base camp, and he doesn’t know what to do. According to the confidentiality level established by the Ministry of Security, the content of this message can only be circulated among the travelers, even if they are naturalized.

Civilian cadres were not allowed to inform them, and naturally they could not disclose it to the Li family in advance. But if the Li family was not informed of the inside story, how could they be allowed to prepare for the evacuation in advance?

Sha Xi almost jumped after reading the telegram. If it weren't for the concern that there were many naturalized citizens inside and outside the office, he really wanted to scold the executive committee, so he slapped his forehead and gave the order without thinking about it.

Let’s see if this command is feasible to execute.

"Sha Xi, why did you rush to call me back?" Xiao Liang walked in and asked. He went to the immigration camp early in the morning to handle several civil disputes between immigrants. After receiving Sha Xi's notice, he hurriedly

Came back.

"You take a look at this first, the telegram from the base camp." Sha Xi handed the telegram to Xiao Liang with a gloomy look.

"This..." Xiao Liang was speechless for a moment after reading the content of the telegram. He knew the local situation very well. It is indeed very difficult to implement the order from the base camp. The population of the immigration camp plus Lijiazhuang is at least two or three.

Thousands, such a large amount of belongings can't be moved in a short time.

"The leader opened his mouth, but his legs were broken!" Sha Xi sighed: "This order from the executive committee is very simple, but no one thinks about how to carry it out!"

Xiao Liang also seemed helpless about this: "But not withdrawing is not an option. If we really want to take over Hainan Island, the government here in Guangdong will definitely have to jump in! By then, our industries in Guangdong will bear the brunt, but fortunately Guangdong

The naval force here is limited, and as long as we get out of the Pearl River Estuary, we will probably be unable to do anything."

Complaints are complaints, but things still have to be done. In fact, everyone knows very well that when the executive committee makes such a big decision, it must be a conclusion reached after weighing the pros and cons. Haihan’s interests and relationships in Guangdong

The Internet is bound to suffer a great impact from this, but compared to acquiring the entire Hainan Island as the territory for establishing a political power in the future, the Executive Committee obviously believes that the latter can bring greater benefits to the development of the Cross Group. And when Haihan

After the relationship with the Ming Dynasty changed from a vassal to a country-to-country relationship, many things would no longer be so timid to deal with, but would become simpler.

As for whether the Ming Dynasty will close off the trade channels of Haihan because of this, the Executive Committee believes that the Ming Dynasty should take relevant measures, but the effect will definitely be limited, because the current bilateral trade has already involved the interests of the Ming Dynasty’s elite, and the ban on trade

It is tantamount to banning a big way of making money for these people. Even if the imperial court issued such an order to Guangdong, it would be difficult to implement and enforce it at the local level.

Taking a step back, if the Guangdong government really intends to follow suit, then Haihan can also use strong ships and cannons to forge a few treaty ports. A semi-feudal and semi-colonial social form may appear on this continent hundreds of years earlier.

, the difference is that this time it will not be the Western powers that resort to force to solve the problem, but the Haihan regime, which has the same origin but has a more advanced social form.

Of course, if we want to strictly speaking, the semi-feudal and semi-colonial form has actually been implemented, which is the ruling method adopted by Haihan in Annan. However, the Annan court was extremely dependent on Haihan in the economic and military fields.

Therefore, they did not take strong resistance to Haihan's colonialism, but instead provided a lot of cooperation. Almost 90% of Annan's external maritime trade is now controlled by Haihan, and most of the young officers in the military are from

Haihan's training camp and the powerful families almost all have in-depth trade cooperation with Haihan. These provide more convenient conditions for Haihan to strengthen his political, economic and cultural penetration into Annan.

The Executive Committee wants to gradually transfer this model that has been successful in Annan to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the situations of Annan and the Ming Dynasty are very different. If they want to carve out flesh and blood on the giant Ming Dynasty,

It is not an easy task. The occupation of the entire Hainan Island is just the first step in the development plan of the Executive Committee.

Although Haihan is no longer afraid of a few wars with Ming Dynasty, if the losses can be minimized, the executive committee will still strive for it. And the offices and offices in Guangdong should be evacuated early before the war begins.

The personnel are precisely to achieve this purpose. Although the operation will not be too easy, compared with another thing currently planned by the Executive Committee, these are actually relatively simple.

"Today is the third discussion meeting on this matter. I hope you can come up with more feasible ways to discuss it. This year's action will start in October at the latest, so we have four months at most.

I hope everyone will be aware of this." Tao Donglai looked around at everyone present and said in a deep voice.

The executive committee held several meetings to discuss the issue, which was how to find a reasonable excuse for war.

With the current combat effectiveness of the Haihan militia, it will not be particularly difficult to capture several cities in the northern part of Hainan Island that are still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. It is nothing more than spending more military expenditures, and this part of the expenditure is completely sufficient.

To make up for it from the various gains after the war, it will definitely be profitable to simply calculate the economic accounts.

But if war is declared directly against the Ming Dynasty without any reason, Haihan will be in a very disadvantageous position morally. After all, Hainan Island has always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Haihan is just an outsider. Although in the end, the big fist is the last word.

But after all, the reputation of Magpie Nest Jiuzhan is not very pleasant, and it is not conducive to Haihan's promotion of his tall and righteous image in the future.

There is no doubt that Haihan's image in the minds of local people is quite good. In the entire southern region, especially around Sanya, people almost regard the travelers as gods. In the north, where political influence is not so strong,

Haihan has always appeared in front of the world as a conscientious wealthy businessman who is willing to do charity. The executive committee does not want these positive images to collapse in an instant. Even if there is a war, at least it must be famous.

However, this reason is not so easy to find. Haihan's development on the island actually did not receive too much interference from the Ming government. This is of course also due to the fact that the foundation of Ming's rule on Qiongzhou Island is not particularly solid.

Especially in matters like the Li and Miao area, local governments have little chance to intervene. As for the continuous expansion of Haihan, the governments around the island rarely take a hostile attitude, and more often turn a blind eye after reaping the benefits.

Close your eyes - as long as you Haihan people don't raise a flag to rebel, then I will accept the money and pretend to be transparent.

The appeasement attitude of the local government made it difficult for Haihan to find an excuse to take action. According to the original plan, it would take five to eight years to slowly use various infiltration methods to gradually control various cities on the island.

, and then annexing these areas in a peaceful way is also a feasible plan. However, now that the wings are full in advance, no one at the top or bottom is willing to spend another few years of precious time to slowly engage in peaceful evolution.

He Xi and Wang Tom inspected the island and finally came to the conclusion that the several cities in the north were unlikely to be handed over peacefully, and they still needed to be captured by force. In view of the limited strength of the opponent, how to defeat this battle is not the biggest problem.

On the contrary, the reason for starting the fight has become a problem that troubles the executive committee.

The first two meetings did not discuss a specific result. Although the executive committee members expressed their opinions, to be honest, no relatively feasible plan was put forward. The main reason is that the starting point of "occupying the righteousness" is too difficult, which can

It is not a question of occupying a Yacheng or the entire Yazhou, but to occupy these more than 30,000 square kilometers of land. Petty reasons such as missing a few people or losing a few goods are simply not enough to move.

Use it as an excuse to start a war.

This meeting was actually similar to the previous two. After everyone discussed it in a chaotic manner, they still did not come up with a decent plan. Tao Donglai looked around at the people present and saw that only the mature and serious Mr. Yuan Ruoxiu had not spoken, so he raised his hand to signal

Everyone stopped first: "Mr. Yuan, you haven't said anything today. If you have any suggestions, you might as well give us some advice."

Yuan Ruoxiu said slowly: "Actually, I haven't come up with any specific method, but I have an idea."

"Sir, please speak!" Tao Donglai responded quickly.

"Everyone talks about it, but the reason is actually that we can't fight against the Ming Dynasty!" Yuan Ruoxiu said slowly: "Since it's not convenient for us to do it, we might as well find another company to be the villain."
Chapter completed!
