Chapter 272 Changes in Lidong

"There is another thing. I was wondering whether I should give it to you." Yu Dashan looked hesitant, but in the end he reached into his arms and took out something and handed it to Yu Xiaobao: "I'll give it to you.

Come on! This is a knife that Fu Lituo brought to you. He said he couldn't come to give it to you today."

"This is the knife he carries with him!" Yu Xiaobao recognized his good friend's belongings at a glance: "When I met him the day before yesterday, he said he would come to the pier to see me off. What's going on?"

This dagger was a gift given to Fu Nuo, the owner of the cave, by the working group of Li District when they first visited Fu Shan Cave - Kaba 1218 made in Yangjiang. Although it was only a knock-off product produced by Dayangjiang in later generations, Li Cave in this era was

It is nothing short of a peerless magic weapon. Fu Li has always carried this dagger around as a treasure.

"The executive committee plans to recruit another group of Li militiamen as soon as possible. Fu Li went back to his cave to help recruit people. This was brought over yesterday by his cousin who was working at the dock." Yu Dashan paused.

He said softly: "I heard that the chief has approved Fu Li to join the militia. This kid... probably isn't ready to take his grandfather's seat!"

"No wonder he gave me the knife. If you join the militia, you can use the uniformly distributed weapons!" Yu Xiaobao is also happy that his good friend can realize his long-standing dream. As for whether Fu Li will succeed Fu Li

The position of the cave leader is not what he cares about now: "Dad, you said it would be great if I could join the militia and wear military uniforms with Fu Li!"

"You kid, stop daydreaming!" Yu Dashan slapped Yu Xiaobao on the forehead, as if to wake him up from his dream: "Stay in Guangzhou and take good care of Mr. Shi.

Learn more skills! Don't think about being a soldier all day long and doing things for the executive committee. Your job now is much better than that of Fu Li. You should cherish your blessings!"

Yu Xiaobao giggled a few times and was about to speak when he saw a familiar figure appear behind Yu Dashan: "Uncle Zhang is here!"

When Yu Dashan turned around, he saw Zhang Tiangui, the naturalized civilian foreman of the shipyard. Although they were both highly regarded naturalized civilian cadres and were quite competitive in private, they still said hello when they met.

Yu Dashan saw that Zhang Tiangui was holding a big package in his hand behind him, so he took the initiative and asked: "Old Zhang, do you have something to bring to your son?"

Zhang Tiangui smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes...I originally wanted to ask a chief to take him there, but this time our shipping department does not have a chief to go to Guangzhou..."

Zhang Tiangui's youngest son, Zhang Qianzhi, together with Yu Xiaobao, joined the staff of the General Office of the People's Republic of China in September last year as the second batch of members. However, what is different from Yu Xiaobao is that Zhang Qianzhi followed the intelligence chief He Xi.

The time spent in the Guangdong Office is not very long. This time Schneider returned to Shengli Port to report on his duties. He Xi, the deputy director of the Guangdong Office, was stationed in Guangzhou as the temporary leader. Therefore, Zhang Qianzhi, a small follower, was not able to do this this time.

Returning home to visit relatives.

Before Yu Dashan could finish speaking, he said to Xiaobao, "Why don't you take the package for your Uncle Zhang?"

"This...how is this so embarrassing?" Zhang Tiangui probably didn't expect that Yu Dashan would be so proactive, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"There are only two juniors in the Guangdong Office, and they are both from Shengli Port. How can we do this if we don't take care of each other?" Yu Dashan said and gave Yu Xiaobao another slap on the back: "Xiaobao, are you right?"

"Dad, please be gentle!" Yu Xiaobao couldn't help shouting, and then took the package from Zhang Tiangui: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I have a good relationship with Qianzhi! I will definitely help you bring the stuff.

.”

"Then thank you Xiaobao!" The expression on Zhang Tiangui's face also became relaxed: "Please give me a message to ask him to work honestly in Guangzhou and learn his skills from Mr. He. Everything at home will be fine and there is no need to worry...

…Well, that’s it.”

"It's exactly what my dad said!" Yu Xiaobao responded with a smile.

Yu Dashan and Zhang Tiangui looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly. I'm afraid it will take a few years for these children to understand the thoughts of being parents. However, they have already been working around the leaders at a young age. After a few years,

, status and achievements should greatly exceed those of his parents.

When the cargo ship on which Yu Xiaobao was riding left the Port of Victory, Fu Li was in Fu Shan Cave persuading his grandfather Fu Nuo to accept the conditions offered by the Haihan people.

Since recent military operations require the mobilization of a large amount of military power, Victory Port is about to face a period of defense void. Some people who have always been opposed to the military and police department's military expansion plan have finally realized their short-sightedness and began to change their attitudes and reconsider the military and police department.

The military expansion plan previously proposed.

Before this, the Military and Police Ministry had proposed a recruitment plan for the Li and Miao ethnic groups, but it was not passed during the discussion of the Executive Committee, so it was suppressed. The starting point of this plan was based on the Li people on Hainan Island.

, the Miao people are the main source of soldiers at this stage, because most of the settlements of the Li and Miao ethnic groups are in inland mountainous areas, and their educational level is generally low. Whether they are industrial workers or professional farmers, they must go through a long period of training to be barely competent.

.In fact, most of the Li and Miao people who go out of the mountainous areas to work for the Cross-Training Group are engaged in simple heavy manual labor, such as logging, mining, road construction, etc., and very few are engaged in technical work.

However, some young Li and Miao people who joined the Haihan Militia in the early stage performed relatively well. Their bravery, tenacity and adaptability to the environment are all traits that the Military and Police Department values ​​very much. In addition to the Li and Miao ethnic groups,

Apart from the occasional fights in the camp, the reasons for the feud can be said to be very satisfactory to the Military and Police Department. As for the feud, the Military and Police Department is not particularly worried about it - as long as they have fought on the battlefield a few times.

, that kind of comrades-in-arms friendship that shares the same hatred of the enemy and shares life and death will quickly dilute the original ********.

The Military and Police Department believes that recruiting a large number of Li and Miao youths to join the army has three benefits that cannot be ignored. First, it can ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. These brave and fierce mountainous youths are indeed more aggressive than the children of farmers who grew up in the fields.

And this is an important quality that soldiers should have. Secondly, by removing the young people of the Li and Miao ethnic groups in the nearby areas, it can also reduce the worries of the crossing group. The security problems within the jurisdiction will at least be reduced than now.

More than half, and after losing their young people, the Lidong Miao Village can only rely more on the material supplies of the Crossing Group. Thirdly, the Li and Miao people have no one to rely on, and they just listen to the local government of the Ming Dynasty.

Xuan's attitude and in accordance with the political principle of "making a few enemies and making many friends" said by Mao Zedong, we should try our best to draw these two ethnic groups into their own camp and let their young people enter the sea.

The Han military community is obviously a good idea.

However, when this plan was proposed at that time, the objection was that a large number of young people should not be recruited into the military and police departments that were not so urgent to expand under the condition of labor shortage, and these native Li and Miao young people were recruited in batches.

After mastering the barrel of a gun, no one would dare to take certain actions beyond the control of the Military and Police Department. Therefore, for various reasons, this targeted military expansion plan of the Military and Police Department was not approved in the end.

It is worth mentioning that Fu Li’s application to join the army has not been approved. In fact, there are indeed concerns in this regard. After all, he is the heir of Fu Shantong, who has a certain political status and influence in the local area.

If people join the militia, it may not be a good thing for cross-border groups.

However, with the continuous expansion of the power of the crossing group, the situation is slowly changing. After the opening of the black soil port settlement in North Vietnam, a large number of Li and Miao soldiers were consciously arranged to garrison overseas through defense changes. At the same time, a large number of North Vietnamese immigrants began

Entering Victory Port has diluted the local population ratio of the Li and Miao ethnic groups. The Military and Police Department has also received the demographic dividend brought by a large number of immigrants for the first time. The labor force of the Li and Miao ethnic groups is no longer a resource that various departments are fiercely competing for. The Military and Police Department

The Ministry was able to once again put the plan to recruit young people from the Li and Miao ethnic groups into the army on the agenda of the Executive Committee.

At this time, the advantages of the Li and Miao ethnic groups in the military resources began to become prominent again. Because of their language and culture, the Han naturalized people were the targets of the Executive Committee's plan to cultivate a large number of industrial workers. However, the North Vietnamese naturalized people had just arrived, so they had to first

Arrange some cumbersome tasks for them to complete. Organs with a certain political color, such as the militia, will not open their doors to them for the time being. At most, they will only select some relatively outstanding talents. Currently, the only organized unit of North Vietnamese naturalized civilians is

, is the special operations company that the Military and Police Department has high hopes for in Heitu Port and is led and trained by Qian Tiandun himself. In this way, the Li and Miao ethnic groups have undoubtedly become the most suitable recruitment targets at present.

As for the security issues caused by the proportion of troops that some people are worried about, the Military and Police Department has also made better arrangements. With the expansion of the control area of ​​​​the Crossing Group, the Military and Police Department can now selectively transfer local companies to other places.

Garrison, and units such as the Black Tu Port Special Operations Company, which are mainly composed of North Vietnamese immigrants, can also be transferred back to the Victory Port area to garrison in the future, and implement a remote garrison system, which greatly reduces the possibility of uncontrollable problems at the bottom of the army.

Under the conscious operation of the Military and Police Department, they finally opened their doors and approved Fu Li's application for enlistment - something that was completely unimaginable three months ago.

The attitude is still one of control first and support second. Members of the ruling families of the Li and Miao ethnic groups are not allowed to enter the militia system, lest the military and police department lose control over some low-level soldiers.

Of course, even so, Fu Li's arrangement is still very delicate - his company is basically composed of Han people, supplemented by a small number of North Vietnamese immigrants, and he is the only one of the Li and Miao people, so he is the only one in the largest group.

To a certain extent, it eliminates the possibility of him influencing other soldiers as the successor of Fushandong. Moreover, while Fu Li is serving in the military, he must temporarily give up the power to inherit the master of Fushandong. If he wants to choose to be the master of the cave, then he must

You must first retire and leave the militia. You cannot have both identities as a soldier and a cave owner.

In addition, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture have planned to relocate Fushandong as a whole. At that time, the name of Fushandong may have to be changed, and the influence of Fu Li's successor status will naturally be weakened.

The only person who would regret this is probably Ning Qi, who proposed to support a Li puppet leader.

Fu Li himself has no objections to this arrangement. For him, it is a great happiness to be able to join the Haihan Militia and put on this long-awaited military uniform. As for whether he should be the master of Fu Shan Cave, it is really

Is it that important? If he had not received the mission this time, Fu Li would not have been willing to return to Fu Shandong when he had just joined the army and was full of freshness about everything in the army.

"Grandpa, Chief Haihan hopes that our entire Fushandong can be relocated outside the mountains, and will lead other Lidongs to slowly move to coastal areas. The Ministry of Agriculture has allocated a lot of land for us in Tiandu, and will also send

People who teach us how to grow spices, grains, ironware and other good things will be openly supplied to us, and everyone's life will be better and better in the future!" Fu Li sat next to Fu Nuo and patiently explained to him the functions of the executive committee.

policy.

Fu Nuo shook his head and said: "The children want to live a good life and go outside the mountains to make money. I don't object to this, but the Haihan people asked us to move. This is to break up Li Dong. Fu Li, after moving out, Fu Nuo

Shandong is no longer Fushandong!"

According to the plan of the Executive Committee, the Li Dong Miao villages in the inland areas near Sanya will be gradually resettled outside the mountains to join the development army of Hainan Island. The Li Miao villages like Fushandong will be resettled in Tiandu to Tiedao.

In the Shili Valley of Lugang, women and the elderly engage in spice cultivation, young adults enter the civil society system, and children begin to receive orthodox Haihan-style education. The executive committee believes that it only takes a few years to completely eliminate these mountain people.

Transformed into supporters of the new regime.

Fu Li argued: "Grandpa, you said before that we Li people don't do this because we like to live in the mountains. If we have a choice, we also want to live a life as prosperous as the Han people. But now such opportunities are gone

It is before us. As long as we go out, the Executive Committee can provide us with everything and let us live a Han life. As long as we understand the care of the Executive Committee, the Yazhou government will not requisition us for labor in the future.

Wouldn’t it be nice to collect our taxes?”

"But the Haihan people dragged all our young people to serve as soldiers..." Fu Nuo still felt uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, the Haihan people didn't pull anyone, we joined the army voluntarily!" Fu Li puffed up his chest proudly, and his brand new gray cloth military uniform seemed to confirm that what he said was true.

"If you become a soldier, who will inherit Fushandong..." Fu Nuo always felt a little dazzling when he saw the military uniform of the Haihan Militia.

"Grandpa, do you really think it is necessary to continue Fushandong?" A serious expression appeared on Fu Li's face that did not match his age: "We have more than 300 households in Fushandong, with more than a thousand people living here now.

How many more are there? Five hundred or six hundred? Most young people like me have already left the country, and many have become naturalized citizens. Why do we still hold on to this place? Do you remember Mr. Ning before?

Why should we agree to cooperate with him when we come to visit Dongli?"

"Remember." Fu Nuo certainly remembered how Ning Qi persuaded him nine months ago to let the people of Lidong Mountain go out to work for the Haihan people: "He said that we would no longer have to worry about food, so that young people can wear clothes

It’s so beautiful that children can read and write!”

"Since the Haihan people have done what Mr. Ning promised, why can't we continue to cooperate with them and move to a better place to live?" Fu Li continued to persuade: "The leaders have said that when the time comes,

We can still live in a village, but for the convenience of management, the name can no longer be called a cave, but must be changed to a commune. After we move there, a Fushan commune will be established, and everyone can still live together.

"

"Then the place where we live now is abandoned like this?" Although Fu Nuo was very moved when he heard this, he still felt very unwilling when he thought that Fu Shandong, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, would be wiped out.

"It is said that this place will be used to plant trees in the future. It is a big tree called... called a rubber tree. It has been planted in many places in Tiandu." Fu Li responded while thinking about it.
