Chapter 998: Preparations
Haihan's annual expenses for buying and wooing Ming officials are definitely an astronomical amount for ordinary people, and the executive committee has always been relatively lenient in budget expenditures in this regard, so He Xi is also very generous, hoping to win the new eunuchs of Dongchang in one fell swoop.
But Huo Yue, the head of the eunuchs from the capital, didn't know whether he deliberately made a tone or really disdained to contact Haihan, so he returned the silver and gifts sent by He Xi. He Xi thought about it and felt that it might be because the other party was born in the capital and had a greater appetite than his predecessor from Nanjing, so he sent another copy to the past. He Xi thought that the weight of this gift was enough, at least more than thirty percent more than the gift received by his predecessor, but in the end, he was quietly withdrawn by the other party.
Not only that, but the head of the Dongchang stall, who was responsible for delivering gifts in the middle, was also reprimanded by his new boss and told him not to do much. After He Xi heard the news, he knew that the other party might have some trouble with Haihan, so he took some trouble to find out the news, and finally learned the reason - when Haihan attacked Liuheng Island in Ningbo, Zhejiang last year, Huo Yue's godson died in the casino of the Haisha Gang.
It is worth mentioning that Huo Yue's godson is also from Dongchang, but his place of service is far away in Ningbo. He didn't go against the Haihan people, but happened to have fun in the casino of the Haisha Gang, but he was so unlucky to encounter the Haihan raid on Liuheng Island, and he was unlucky to die in the random gun. After Haihan's side later found out his identity, he naturally pushed the boat to detain the black pot on the head of the Haisha Gang, and the local government in Ningbo accepted a lot of benefits from Haihan, so they helped to give this matter a given. After the news was transmitted back to the capital, Huo Yue didn't believe this statement at all, and in his grief and indignation, he put the account on Haihan's head - the Haisha Gang had been completely wiped out, and this bad breath was held in his heart, and he had to find a punching bag.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or the result of Huo Yue's own activities, he was actually sent to serve in distant Guangdong, and he had the opportunity to confront Haihan head-on. Huo Yue thinks that he is in a privileged department like Dongchang, and there is no need to sell the face of the Haihan people, although the gift money sent by He Xituo is very valuable, but Huo Yue was born in the capital and has also seen some people in the world, so naturally he will not be easily bought, but instead give the Haihan people a nail to touch.
He Xi inquired about the reason for the matter, and combined with the other party's performance, of course, he could feel Huo Yue's unfriendly attitude. Since he didn't find out the details of Huo Yue's background for the time being, it was not good to rashly take more radical actions, so he could only gather the people who were originally in Zhaoqing for a meeting, and deployed stricter monitoring measures to prevent Huo Yue from making some unfavorable moves to Haihan after taking office. After coming and going, He Xi's return to Sanya was delayed by a week, so most of the previous security and defense work in Sanya was presided over and commanded by Hao Wanqing.
"So dishonest, then what are you going to do?" Hao Wanqing didn't feel too nervous after listening to He Xi's description, there were more troublesome people secretly solved by the Ministry of Security in the past few years, and the eunuchs of Dongchang were not much different from ordinary people in their eyes.
He Xi smiled: "Of course, it is best to solve it with money, but if this guy continues to be stubborn and makes me lose patience, then I have to let the special service team go to Zhaoqing." However, this matter can be put aside for a while, observed for a while, and then talked about after the celebration is over. ”
For the kind of Ming officials who are unwilling to accept benefits and compromise with Haihan, the Ministry of Security will assess the trouble they may cause to Haihan, and if they think that the danger reaches a certain level, they will try to dismiss them from their posts, and then push those who are willing to cooperate to take charge. For those who have already caused trouble and brought losses to Haihan, the measures that the Ministry of Security will take include but are not limited to the degree of losing their officials. He Xi's special service team would carry out several special missions every year, such as assassination and kidnapping, and the main targets of such missions were Ming officials who opposed Haihan.
Although this method is radical and has certain risks, the effect is also significant, and when the officials who oppose Haihan lose their official positions one after another, or even disappear or die unexplained, people in their right minds will realize that the risks required to oppose Haihan's position are extremely high. On the one hand, they lose their official positions or even lose their lives, and on the other hand, they accept benefits to spend their tenure smoothly, and the vast majority of people will still choose a relatively safe path.
Of course, during this period, it was not without officials that they had the idea of transferring troops to arrest the Haihan people in Liangguang, but they often leaked the news before they were put into practice, and the consequences were naturally very miserable. Over time, officials, large and small, including the Governor of Liangguang, learned the correct posture of dealing with Haihan - accepting benefits, and then providing convenience to Haihan as much as possible. Haihan people are profitable but trustworthy, as long as the cooperative relationship reached, there will not be too many deliberate things to embarrass local officials, even if there is a move that is not in line with the legal principles of the Ming Dynasty, the two sides can at least negotiate to solve it, and maybe after the negotiation, the Haihan side can give more returns, in order to thank the Ming officials for the concessions.
He Xi and Hao Wanqing are both experts in China, so there is no need to explain to each other in detail how to achieve these goals. Although the new head of the Dongchang in Zhaoqing Prefecture may cause some trouble for the Ministry of Security, compared to the upcoming founding celebration in Sanya, these small things can be put aside and dealt with slowly.
Because the matter in Zhaoqing was postponed for a week, He Xi had a backlog of affairs to deal with, and he didn't even have time to go back to his residence to rest, and there was still a joint working meeting with the police and the military waiting for him to attend. The carriage they were riding in drove quickly from the Victory Harbor Scenic Avenue and went directly to Victory Fort.
At the same time, Tao Donglai was inspecting the preparations for the celebration venue at the mouth of the Tiandu River. This time, the venue was different from previous years, and instead of placing the main venue in the square outside the gate of Victory Fort, it was moved south to Victory Port No. 1 Pier, which has rarely been opened in Haihan in recent years.
Pier 1 is located in the deepest part of Victory Harbor, and the ships that docked are the ships that carry the time-travelers to this plane, among which the huge New World is the most large. A few years ago, Haihan also held a ceremony on the deck of the New World to give awards and awards, but under the suggestion of the Ministry of Shipping, these ships have all been mothballed, and in addition to the regular maintenance of technicians, there is no longer a waiting for idle people to board the ship.
