Chapter 623 Qian Tiandun’s report

“It’s been a hard journey!”

When Qian Tiandun walked down the gangway, Tao Donglai was the first to come up to him and stretched out his arms. It was not a formal handshake, but a big hug. For Haihan as a collective, what Qian Tiandun did was

Contributions definitely deserve such treatment.

"We don't dare to slack off when it comes to our responsibilities." Qian Tiandun has been a local official for several years, and his temperament is no longer the same as the unsteady little officer a few years ago. His answer is also very steady and appropriate: "Since the Executive Committee

Leave this job to me, and I will do my best to do my best! This time I have prepared a report on the situation in Indochina, and I hope to arrange time to report to the Executive Committee in person as soon as possible."

"Let's put the work aside for now. There is only one thing the executive committee has to do today, which is to cleanse you from the wind and dust!" Tao Donglai said with a smile: "You see, everyone has put down what they are doing today.

, specially came to pick you up."

As the most important colonial area of ​​Haihan outside Qiongzhou Island, Annan provided Haihan with the most urgently needed mineral energy and labor force in the early days of the crossing. It was also one of the most important export markets for Haihan's commodities, providing great support for Haihan's development.

provided a very important boost. And the natural location of Annan provided an excellent base for Haihan to expand its control area to the south and west in the future. From a certain perspective, Annan's significance to Haihan was not even that great.

Not weaker than Ming Dynasty.

The Haihan and Annan regimes established a special cooperative relationship because of their civil war. For both parties, early military cooperation was far more important than issues such as commerce, population, and land. Therefore, Qian Tiandun

The role of the Haihan military representative in Annan is very special in the cooperative relationship between the two parties. Although Annan also has a local civil affairs official appointed by the executive committee, after the executive committee transferred Zhou Hengxing back to Victory Port to take charge of port management, Haihan

The actual leader of the Han Dynasty in the Annan region was Qian Tiandun, who was captured by the military and government. The role Qian Tiandun played and the achievements he made during his tenure are difficult for anyone to ignore.

Starting from the arrival of the colonization fleet at Black Tu Port in the second half of 1627, Haihan's control area along the Annan coast has expanded from Black Tu Port to a total of seven concession port areas in the north, three in the south and four in the south. He almost controls the Indo-China Peninsula from the north to

The entire east coastline of more than 2,000 kilometers in the south. It is no exaggeration to say that more than 70% of the coastline of Annan Kingdom is now controlled by Haihan. It is precisely because of such conditions that the military

Only then can we safely send the fleet south to seize the Anbu Na Islands, which is nearly a thousand nautical miles away from Hainan Island.

Although Qian Tiandun is not responsible for managing such a situation today, no one will deny the important role he played in this process as the person in charge of Annan affairs appointed by the Executive Committee.

In addition, the Annan militia army that Qian Tiandun trained for the Haihan military in the past four years has also made great achievements in previous battles. During last year's "Operation Prairie Fire" alone, the "pirate troops" led by Qian Tiandun had

More than seventy people won various levels of military exploits in the battles that swept across Qiongbei. This removed the biggest obstacle for Haihan to unify Hainan Island, allowing the Haihan militia to successfully settle in various cities in Qiongbei and complete the war.

The de facto occupation of the area originally controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Due to the special nature of this great achievement, the executive committee did not publicly announce the commendation orders for the participants. Even Qian Tiandun only had an obscure certificate of commendation and a "

"Operation Prairie Fire" military medal.

Of course, the non-public awarding does not mean that the Executive Committee does not recognize his contribution. After the end of "Operation Prairie Fire", the Executive Committee has basically established the status of the three major generals of the Military Commission, namely Yan Chujie is in charge of the overall situation and Wang Tom is in charge of the navy.

, and Qian Tiandun is by default the third-ranking figure in the military, responsible for the command of the army in foreign military operations.

However, after "Operation Prairie Fire", Haihan's external military operations only included one attack on the Annan Islands. It was basically the work of the navy, and the battle process itself was lackluster and not too difficult. Although Annan dispatched

Although Mu Xiabai led the troops, Qian Tiandun did not directly participate in the battle, because at this time, the executive committee had notified him of this year's work transfer arrangements, and immediately began to discuss local affairs in Annan with Feng Annan and others.

handover.

Although the transfer from Annan to Fujian seems to be just a horizontal transfer, Qian Tiandun knows that the executive committee is very obsessed with the mainland strategy. In the long run, the importance of Fujian is still far greater than that of Annan, so this

The significance of this transfer is not only to move one's butt, but also symbolizes the adjustment of the executive committee's external development direction and strategy.

As Tao Donglai said, in order to welcome Qian Tiandun's return, the executive committee prepared a very sumptuous banquet in Victory Fort. However, although Qian Tiandun drank a lot during the banquet, he still kept it

After the banquet ended, he was sober and was supported by Takahashi Minami to leave.

Qian Tiandun also had a set of welfare houses allocated on a per capita basis in Shengli Port, but he did not intend to return to that nominal "home" to stay. Instead, he chose the Guest House in Shengli Port as his accommodation during his stay in Sanya.

Accommodation. Although the hardware facilities of the Guest House are ordinary and worse than the express hotels of later generations, the software and services are very user-friendly and not worse than the high-end hotels of later generations. If it were not for the Executive Committee's regulations on the reception of domestic guests

Due to the threshold, only officials returning from other places to report on their duties are allowed to stay in the Guest House for a short period of time, so this place has probably been used as a dormitory by single young people.

However, although the service at the Guest House is good, it is impossible for Qian Tiandun to enjoy 100% of the services provided by the official. When he got up early in the morning, the person who brought him hot water and towels was not the service staff here.

It was his personal attendant Minami Takahashi.

"Takahashi, you are now an officer yourself. Stop doing things like this that should be done by orderlies." Qian Tiandun was quite dumbfounded by such attentive service. Although Gaoqiao was in Annan

Nan was doing the same thing, but when he returned to Victory Port, Qian Tiandun didn't want his subordinates to still do such a job that might seem a bit "lowly" to the outside world.

Takahashi Minami looked unconcerned: "I'm used to doing things in my job, so there's no need to let others do it. Even if I let others do it, I have to watch from the side, so it's better to let me do it myself."

"You guy..." Qian Tiandun shook his head helplessly, but felt a warmth in his heart. At first, he just thought that Gao Qiaonan should be given a chance to change his destiny, but he never thought about letting him use this method.

He was loyal to him in the form of a retainer, but after getting along for a few years, the two of them had indeed developed a deep bond, and the relationship was no longer a simple relationship between colleagues.

"By the way, I will go to Victory Fort for a meeting later. You can distribute the gifts brought back to the homes of the chiefs." Qian Tiandun ordered.

Takahashi Nan responded, and then asked: "Do you want to send a copy to Miss Luo?"

Qian Tiandun hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Send it to me!"

The "Miss Luo" that Gao Qiaonan refers to is Luo Wudan, a reporter from the Ministry of Information Industry who was "assigned" to Heitu Port in 1627 because the Executive Committee considered her personal political leanings. This eldest lady was

When they were in Shengli Port, they had various conflicts with Qian Tiandun. After going to Black Earth Port, the two enemies still often had some vindictive and bickering behaviors. And whenever this happened, they were unwilling to spend time with Luo Wudan.

When Qian Tiandun went down, he would often send Takahashi Nan out to act as a human shield.

However, Luo Wudan's local job is still as a reporter for the Ministry of Information Industry, and his work field inevitably has a lot of intersection with Qian Tiandun. There are many opportunities for contact between the two, and it is impossible to completely avoid them.

After getting in touch with each other for many years, we still have a certain degree of friendship even though they are noisy.

However, before the "Operation Prairie Fire" last year, in order to cooperate with Haihan's early propaganda work in the Qiongbei area, the Ministry of Information Industry transferred Luo Wudan back to Hainan Island, so the two did not meet for nearly a year.

This time Qian Tiandun came back after resigning and brought a lot of Annan local products as gifts. With his current status, he didn’t need to give any benefits to the executive committee members, so they were all gifts with not very high economic value.

You don’t have to worry about anyone gossiping behind your back if you give the handicrafts away.

Of course, Qian Tiandun couldn't give gifts to everyone in the Cross Travel Group, as there were more than 400 people in the group. Moreover, there were many people stationed abroad, so he had no choice but to give them to each other for the time being, so he made a rough gift list in advance, and then asked Gao

Qiao Nan went to be responsible for delivering them one by one. However, Gao Qiao Nan was also a smart person. After looking at the gift list, he found that Luo Wudan was missing, so he specifically confirmed it with Qian Tiandun.

After Qian Tiandun responded, he realized that he seemed to have exposed something. He pointed at Gao Qiaonan and said nothing. Gao Qiaonan smiled, picked up the face wash used by Qian Tiandun and went out.

Qian Tiandun's return was a big event for Haihan's senior management, so the executive committee also arranged a special time for him to listen to his work report. In addition to the relevant executive committee members, there were also people who rushed back to Victory Port as military personnel.

Tom Wang, who represented Fang, attended the meeting.

When Qian Tiandun entered the arena, everyone present stood up and gave him warm applause. For a man who had been away for four years and helped expand the territory of Haihan, this was the treatment he deserved.

"Thank you, everyone. In order to save time, I won't talk too much and get straight to the point." Qian Tiandun took his seat and said straight to the point: "As for the progress of the construction of several concession ports in Annan, we will have corresponding reports every month.

The report has been sent back, and I believe everyone here understands it to some extent. What I want to talk about today is another aspect, which is the direction of the domestic situation in Annan and what we may need to pay attention to in the next few years."

Qian Tiandun cleared his throat and continued: "Due to our intervention, Annan ended the civil war two years ago and achieved the reunification of the north and the south. Although this result has affected our arms sales and control of the Annan court to a certain extent.

Strength, but it also provides us with a larger sales market. The maritime trade tradition in southern Annan has a long history, and the people's acceptance of imported products is higher than that in the north. In my opinion, the degree of business development in the south is

Much more than the north, where the farming economy is the mainstay, there is a more suitable environment for us to promote the Haihan trade system. Especially the four southern ports that are still under construction can open up new industries for us in the southern part of the Indochina Peninsula.

The product market plays a driving role.”

"But at the same time, we also need to be aware of the shortcomings and hidden dangers that exist in the south. Because of the influence of the Ruan family during the rule of the south, the people of the south, especially those powerful and powerful, as well as the original vested interests

, is not particularly obedient to the current Thang Long Palace court. Due to national strength, Thang Long Palace is temporarily unable to deploy a large number of troops loyal to the court in the south. Therefore, to this day, there are still many places in the south that are in a state of anarchy.

, the coordination and handling of local affairs are still controlled by some wealthy families, and the influence of the government is relatively limited."

"Is it similar to the situation in Qiongnan two years ago?" Tao Donglai interjected after hearing this.

"That's right!" Qian Tiandun nodded and replied: "The court of Shenglong Mansion is somewhat similar to the influence of the Ming Dynasty in Qiongnan. Although everyone knows that this place belongs to the Ming Dynasty, no one has any doubts about the Ming Dynasty court.

Keep enough awe, because everyone knows that we are the actual people in power in this place. There are many places in southern Annan that are in such a state. The difference is that the local powerful and wealthy families do not have the ability to do it ourselves.

The ability to establish political power and gradually replace the government."

"The difference is that they don't have strong enough armed forces." Wang Tom couldn't help but add after hearing this.

If you want to replace the functions and status of the local government like Haihan, it is not something you can do if you are rich and powerful. The situation Haihan achieved in Qiongnan will be difficult for others to copy to other places. The reason is

As Wang Tom said, we do not have strong enough weapons as a guarantee.

"You mean that some unworthy landlords and armed forces control local government affairs? But what impact does this have on us?" Gu Kai asked puzzledly.

"It has both good and bad effects." Qian Tiandun explained: "On the one hand, they hope to import high-profit Haihan products and make profits by distributing them to ordinary people; on the other hand, they do not want us to

The locals will get more resources, because this will most likely affect their own interests, such as the land and population we need."

"It's hard to get the best of both worlds, right?" Gu Kai shook his head and said: "I think you should try the method that the commercial department has successfully used, which is to organize local chambers of commerce to unify the interests of these people and let their interests gradually merge with those of the sea.

If the Chinese and Chinese tend to be consistent, it will be easier to handle."
