Chapter 289: Major Decisions

In a ruling group, no one who is proficient in the law means that the future rule lacks a strong institutional guarantee, so Tao Donglai and others will pull Gu Kai, a legal professional, into the core group of power at the beginning of the plan.

If you just copy a few legal documents decently, then you don't need Gu Kai to do it, the large database has stored various laws and regulations formulated by human beings since the Code of Hammurabi, and you can always find some ready-made goods that are suitable for the current environment. But building a judicial system and making it work smoothly is not something that a layman can accomplish in a short period of time.

The Executive Committee has always believed that professional things are best handed over to professional people to do, and in the case of talent reserves, as far as possible, special personnel should be used. For a professional like Gu Kai, who started by studying law, the best career arrangement is the judicial system. However, in view of the lack of judicial professionals, when organizing the construction of the judicial system, the Executive Committee may have to use a mixed personality who is also a legal professional.

This is not only because Ressa often disagrees with the Executive Committee because of some "feminist awareness", but also because some people have pointed out early on that Gu Kai and Ressa run the judicial system, which may turn the future Ministry of Justice into a "family world" situation. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if these two people are full of public spirit and have no selfish desires, and can handle all their work impartially, in the future, the practitioners of the judicial system, especially the departments responsible for litigation and case adjudication, I am afraid that some people will regard them as teachers, and it is very likely that their colleagues will form a party.

It is not only that this situation appears in other departments, and the danger may not be particularly strict, such as the military system, which will definitely exist in the future, and the phenomenon of arranging associations according to the seniority of the military academy will definitely exist. However, once such a situation occurs in the judicial system, it will definitely have a negative impact on social stability, so so far the Executive Committee has still not made a decision on the specific work arrangements of Gu and her family in the judicial system.

As for the leaders of the police system, the executive committee has already made a decision, that is, Ren Liang, who is still serving as the director of the Shengli Port Management Committee. Among the current personnel of the Military Police Department, Ren Liang can be regarded as the person who has made the fastest progress in politics after the crossing, he was appointed as the head of the labor camp as a prison guard, and was promoted to the director of the Hong Kong District Management Committee because of his excellent work ability, and he has also done an outstanding job in this new position. The Executive Committee believes that Ren Liang is a candidate worthy of being entrusted with important tasks in terms of both work ability and political loyalty. Of course, this appointment will not be made immediately, and the independence of the police system will take some time to prepare, and it is currently scheduled to be implemented during the period of institutional adjustment at the end of the first anniversary. In addition, Ren Liang's current work involves the development process of Shengli Port, and it will take some time to carry out the handover.

Objective difficulties are in front of us, and it is impossible for Harugong to turn a blind eye, indeed, as Tao Donglai said, although the construction of cavalry troops is important, there are other more important matters to be carried out in front of the queue at present. But in the end, Tao Donglai didn't forget to give Ha Lugong a reassuring pill to comfort: "As long as there is a place suitable for large-scale horse breeding in our control area in the future, there is no need for Lao Ha to urge, I must remember to take out the bill for the executive committee members to discuss." ”

Yan Chujie also continued: "Lao Ha, don't worry, the importance of cavalry is not known to you alone, if you want to fight on the mainland in this era, you will definitely not be able to do it without cavalry." Forming a cavalry team is not your business alone, and our entire military also has a share! But if we want to attack the mainland, we must first have a navy!"

Ha Lu Gong's face relaxed a little, nodded to show that he understood these truths, raised his wine glass and said: "I won't say more, I hope that the day when our cavalry will cross the Central Plains will come as soon as possible!"

On the morning of 16 February, the Ministry of Military Police and the Ministry of Civil Affairs jointly held a solemn public memorial ceremony at the Shengli Port Wharf to mourn the fighters who died in the overseas war. As a representative of the Executive Committee, Ning Qi made a public speech at the ceremony, praising these sacrifices as "martyrs who died for the benefit of the people of Shengli Port", and put them on a high level with the patriotic soldiers of all dynasties and generations who resisted foreign captives.

As a representative of the Military Police Department, Yan Chujie read out in public the various commendations and awards given by the Executive Committee to the martyrs and the bereavement measures for their families: "Zhao Dazhuang, a soldier of the first company and one platoon of the Haihan People's League, died in a battle against the South Vietnamese bandits on a certain day in a certain year, and the Military Police Department has decided to make the following commendation to Zhao Dazhuang......

The Military Police Department conducted a posthumous evaluation of the military merits of this group of people as quickly as possible, and all the sacrificed personnel were awarded personal third-class meritorious service, and posthumously awarded the honorary title of "Haihan Guard" and the corresponding award documents, medals, and bonuses. The sacrifices of the militia in the Black Soil Port are also handled according to this standard. And the generous bereavement given to the family members aroused a low cry among the onlookers.

Until now, ordinary people had only regarded joining the militia as a shortcut to the Haihan system and obtaining naturalized citizenship, and although there were some risks, it was much faster than working as a laborer or a hired farmer, at least without waiting for the inspection period ranging from one to three months. There are many people who are reluctant to take this road, because they feel that there is no guarantee when they are the head soldiers, not to mention that this Haihan militia is clearly the private soldier of the Haihan masters. However, this public memorial event completely subverted the original understanding of the local people.

Serving as a soldier in the Haihan militia certainly requires hard work, but the Haihan masters did not use the poor family's baby as a pure consumable, at least they had never heard of the practice of evaluating the military merits of the soldiers who died in battle one by one in the army. As for the means of these pensions, needless to say, the pensions of the Ming army were not much, and sometimes they were coveted by the officers who handled them, which was not the same as the standard of Haihan. It is also an unheard-of move for the officials to hold sacrifices for the soldiers in public, not to mention the special high-level cemetery prepared for these people who died in battle, and it is said that the graves are all built with the "Haihan cement" that repairs the wharf landscape avenue, whether it is strong or costly, it is far from being comparable to ordinary earth graves. And there is usually a special person responsible for cleaning and taking care of it, and there will be people who burn incense and paper during the New Year's holidays, how can this treatment be comparable to the army of the Ming Dynasty?

Yu Dashan crowded into the crowd of onlookers, and praised again and again: "The chiefs are really kind to this style! They give money and land, at least the family will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and these people who died in the war will not lose money!"

Someone next to him muttered in a low voice: "Then why don't you let your son join the army?"

Yu Dashan was exposed, and the old man blushed and hurriedly argued: "My son is young and frail, and he is not yet the standard for joining the army...... Besides, doing things for the Executive Committee, regardless of whether they are high or low, this is what Mr. Ning said! My son is working in the Guangzhou Office, and he is also doing his best for the Executive Committee!"

"Just blow it!" The person next to him seemed to be very clear about the situation of the Yu family's father and son: "Who doesn't know that your Xiaobao is following the God of Wealth, and the future is bright, which person can be compared to the militia soldiers!"

Yu Dashan snorted and simply didn't reply. Although Yu Dashan has no culture, the only few words he knows are his own name learned from the "cadre literacy class", but as an "old employee" who has been in the Haihan system for ten months and has developed well, Yu Dashan already has a certain political vision and sensitivity. The treatment of the Haihan militia is certainly very good, and Yu Dashan also admits this, but there is only one way to get ahead after joining the militia group, that is, to fight for military merits with his life, which is obviously not a good choice.

And following a Haihan leader like Schneider, the chance of getting ahead is at least dozens or hundreds of times that of joining the militia as a soldier. In the future, the territory of Haihan will become bigger and bigger, and the chiefs will always need to employ people to manage local affairs, so the first choice must be the people around them that they can trust. Yu Xiaobao has been with the chief for a few years, so why can't he promote a section chief, section chief, or other cadre in the future? Maybe when he is his age, Yu Xiaobao can also become a high-ranking position like "director of the management committee" somewhere.

Yu Dashan pondered his thoughts, and listened to Yan Chujie read the commendation order on the stage without saying a word. Unlike him, there are many people in the crowd who have re-moved their minds to join the army, because compared with ordinary workmanship, after joining the army, there will be a more obvious improvement in both the accumulation rate of personal labor points and the income level. And now seeing the relevant departments deal with the aftermath of the militia soldiers, it can basically be regarded as relieving the worries in the hearts of those who have a wait-and-see attitude, and clearing the last psychological obstacle for them to choose to join the army and become soldiers.

After the commendation order was issued, it was time for a solemn sacrificial ceremony. In addition to the various incense candles, livestock and other sacrifices that are commonly used, the Yazhou Office even sent a team from Yazhou to do the rituals, and there are both Buddhism and Taoism, and there are words on both sides of the altar, which is also a great spectacle. However, because the Executive Committee has always adhered to the ruling phalanx of weakening religious influence in the control area, the appearance of religious figures did not last long, and they were taken down after reciting a few verses.

After the ceremonial ceremony, the coffins of the war dead are loaded onto a ship waiting at the pier and transported to the cemetery on the east bank for burial. At this time, Yan Chujie walked to the stage again, and the people who were originally about to leave stopped again, waiting to see what else was famous.

"I have a heavy announcement here. Yan Chujie said into the microphone in a deep voice, making sure that the sound could be clearly heard in the ears of everyone present: "In view of the vigorous development of the local maritime industry, the Executive Committee believes that there is an urgent need for a local force to maintain normal order at sea. In order to ensure the personal safety of the merchants who trade in Shengli Port, and to ensure the smooth navigation of the nearby waters, the Executive Committee has decided to ......"

The crowd in the audience was holding their breath, quietly waiting for Yan Chujie to announce the new decision of the Executive Committee.

“...... The Military Police Department is responsible for organizing the establishment of a maritime security force. This unit will be subordinate to the establishment of the Haihan People's League, and will be mainly stationed in the southern waters of Qiongzhou, centered on Shengli Harbor. Yan Chujie paused, looked at the people under the stand, and then continued: "From now on, the Military Police Department will begin to recruit service personnel of the maritime security force for the local people. ”

After Yan Chujie finished speaking, the crowd responded violently and there were many discussions. Even the most insensitive people can realize that the Haihan Executive Committee intends to extend the control of the militia to the sea, preparing to expand from Shengli Port to the outside.

Prior to this, the Haihan Executive Committee had already been the actual controller of the Shengli Port area, but because the Executive Committee consciously concentrated the scope of control in the small area of Shengli Port, whether it was the local people or Yazhou, Lingshui and other areas near Shengli Port, there was no unusual feeling about the existence of Shengli Port, but because of the gradual prosperity here, many people took the initiative to settle here. Even the first batch of local naturalized citizens seemed to have heard for the first time in their memories that the high-ranking officials of the Executive Committee had explicitly proposed to use guò military means to control the sea area near the port of victory, which naturally included the area near the coast.

Will this expansion clash with nearby governments? The vast majority of the people are not convinced of this answer. Although there are also patrol divisions and sailors stationed in the local area, as long as they are not blind, they can see that these people are all supported by the Executive Committee, and naturally they will not go against the Executive Committee. But if the Executive Committee insists on expanding its sphere of influence outward, will the Ming Yamen who eat public meals elsewhere approve of this approach? Or will they choose to submit to the management of the Executive Committee, just like the local officials?

Among the people who were there to observe, the most apprehensive was not the local people, nor the foreign merchants, but Luo Shengdong, who was still staying in Shengli Port. Originally, Haihan's expeditionary fleet returned, and Luo Shengdong's substitute task had been completed, and he could leave on a mission. However, according to the prior agreement between the two parties, Luo Shengdong can get a piece of land from Shengli Port as a reward for this substitute shift. So in the past few days, he stayed in Shengli Port, ready to choose a place with better terrain to see whether to build a private house or open a commercial inn.

This morning, I learned that the Haihan people were going to hold a public memorial meeting, and Luo Shengdong also came over to watch the excitement, wanting to know about the specific measures of the Haihan people for post-war pensions. After listening to it, Luo Shengdong found that the measures of the Haihan people really adhered to their usual style of not taking the usual path, from ancient times to the present, most of the military merits are calculated by cutting off the enemy's head in battle, and the people who died in battle can also remember the merits, and the rewards are so rich, but it is relatively fresh.

If it was just a matter of listening to a novelty, I didn't expect Yan Chujie to break out such a big story in the end. What is the formation of maritime security forces, to put it nicely, in fact, it is not the formation of naval divisions?

Although Luo Shengdong has always been very aware that the power of the Yazhou Sailor is far below the Haihan people, the official is official after all, no matter how strong you Haihan people are, it is only the nature of the militia and maritime merchants, and many places still can't play it. For example, in the capital cities of Danzhou and Qiongzhou in the north, the Haihan people rarely send military personnel to set foot in the local area, and even some of the freight tasks are handed over to the warships under Luo Shengdong's command.

But after Yan Chujie announced the news, Luo Shengdong felt a heavy sense of crisis, which he had never felt since he left the labor camp. Yan Chujie has made it very clear that the mission of this maritime security force is to maintain maritime order and safety in the waters near Shengli Port, and to put it bluntly, it is to replace it and snatch the matter of Yazhou Water Village and do it yourself!

Although the Yazhou Navy Division has not participated in any form of combat since the conflict in the first half of last year that Luo Shengdong will remember for the rest of his life, this does not mean that the Yazhou Navy Division is not a combat unit. From the point of view of the establishment of the Ming Army, the entire southern shore of Qiongzhou Island, if you don't count the guards who fought five scum, only the regular troops in the real sense, there is only the Yazhou Water Division, although ninety percent of the current patrol time of this water division is to transport goods for the Haihan people or perform all kinds of messy tasks.

Although Luo Shengdong loves money, he has not completely forgotten his military identity, if the plan of the Haihan people begins to be implemented, it is not surprising that Yazhou Water Village will be completely reduced to a decoration within the year, or gradually become a relatively special transport fleet under the name of the Haihan Maritime Department. No matter what the result was, it made Luo Shengdong feel unacceptable, and from a certain point of view, he even felt that he had suffered such a big humiliation, and there was no one on Haihan's side to talk to him in advance! If he was not in Shengli Harbor at this time, then he would not get this news until the dust settled, and when he encountered Haihan sailors at sea, what an embarrassing scene would be!

The more Luo Shengdong thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a taste, and his face became gloomy. Wei Ping, who came with him to see the human brain, also noticed the change in his feelings, and persuaded him: "Mr. Luo Qian, don't be impulsive! Since the Haihan people dare to announce this matter in public, according to their usual style of doing things, I am afraid that they have already planned it carefully. If you recklessly lose and make trouble with the Executive Committee, it will backfire. ”

Luo Shengdong said with a dark face: "The Haihan people are their own sailors, so how can I deal with the Yazhou sailors in the future? I, Luo Shengdong, am also an official of the imperial court, how can I be humiliated like this?"

Wei Ping secretly sneered in his heart when he heard this, how dare you sell yourself and boast about your discipline? If the Haihan people think of sending troops to fight Yazhou one day, you, Luo Shengdong, am afraid that you Luo Shengdong will be the first guy to rush forward and lead the horse to fall
