Chapter 1408: The Land of Bitter Cold
The letter is all about the situation at home, and there is no sensitive information in it. However, Liu Shang's specialty is to collect intelligence, and from the fragments of information in the letter, he still learned some of the current situation of Haihan society from the side, especially some information related to the military.
In addition to the preferential treatment for naturalization, the conditions given for discharge or casualty compensation are also very generous. In a trump card unit like the special operations battalion, the soldier's salary income during the war was even higher than that of a civilian official like Liu Shang, and in addition to various awards for military merits, soldiers can often save a considerable fortune when they are discharged from the army.
The military service system now implemented by Haihan is mainly based on recruitment, and ordinary troops can be discharged after three years of service, while special units such as naval combat units, special operations battalions, South China Sea special operations brigades, cavalry battalions, and snipers are required to serve at least five years of military service before they can apply for discharge, except for special circumstances such as injuries and illnesses because of their long training cycle, large overall investment, and more military secrets. When discharged from the army, there is not only a discharge pension, but also a share of the land under the name, which is enough to ensure that the soldiers can have a relatively stable source of livelihood after being discharged.
However, as long as they can get out of the way during their service and have a half-official position, these soldiers generally will not take the initiative to choose to retire, after all, the treatment of officers has been greatly improved compared with ordinary soldiers, and Haihan has been constantly fighting abroad, and it is not difficult for soldiers to climb up with military merits, and in the front-line troops such as special operations battalions, there are quite a lot of opportunities to earn promotion capital for themselves on the battlefield.
Almost all the people who enter the special operations camp will take Takahashi Minami as an example and goal, although he can ascend to the throne for some reasons why the situation makes heroes, but the latecomers don't care too much about this kind of detail. Besides, the officers in the special operations battalion are all climbing up step by step from the small soldiers, which is a very fair upward path for the vast majority of people, so the exit rate of the special operations battalion is quite low, and there are really many people who have served for more than five years.
After Liu Shang finished reading the letter, the soldier got up and went with great gratitude, but Liu Shang estimated that he should be in line with the letter as soon as he went out. After reading seven or eight letters like this, Sun Zhen entered the tent to drive people away, and asked the remaining soldiers to come tomorrow and let Liu Shang and the others rest earlier.
Liu Shang drank some wine before, and he was a little tired after using his brain like this, so he washed up and went to bed to rest.
Fort Arthur closes the north and south gates at night, so there's no need to worry about wild animals coming in at night, and there's no safety in a tent. However, the insulation performance of this tent is too poor, although there is a small charcoal stove that does not go out all night, but lying in the quilt still feels cold, and it takes a long time to slowly warm up.
Liu Shang was lying on the bed, listening to the snoring of everyone in the tent, and couldn't help but admire that these guys could fall asleep quickly in such a cold place. He was born in the south, and when he was in Shandong, he already felt that the local climate was difficult to adapt to, and after coming to Liaodong, he deeply understood what the word "winter" meant in the north. The living environment here in Lushun is far worse than that of Shandong, in addition to the food is not bad, the infrastructure is too simple, and even the winter heating method has not been well solved, so it is no wonder that there will be an epidemic in the middle of winter.
Although he followed the arrangement and came to this snow-capped Liaodong from Sanya, to be honest, Liu Shang still didn't quite understand why Haihan had to spend a lot of resources to attack Liaodong. Although the executive committee's statement was to help the Ming Dynasty and rescue the Han people in Liaodong who were bullied and enslaved by the Later Jin, Liu Shangke did not believe that the Haihan people, who put profit first in everything, could have such a good heart and would send troops to fight thousands of miles away in the bitter cold land without asking for help openly in the Ming Dynasty. What's more, judging from the current attitude of the Shandong government, it is not necessarily willing to accept Haihan, an uninvited guest, to help him defend against foreign enemies, which is quite a hot face and a cold ass.
Liu Shang believed that the Houjin state, which was not good at seafaring, could not threaten the Haihan, who had become a maritime hegemon in the south, and there was no direct conflict of interest between the two. If the purpose of marching into Liaodong is to serve the Han population in Liaodong, then the Shen family of Phi Dao can be supported to operate as an agent, and this kind of thing has already had successful experience in Fujian, and it should not be too difficult to replicate it again.
