Chapter 1204 Internship Period
Although Tan Juren still didn't know exactly where he was assigned to go, there were only a few colonies in the South China Sea that were still under military control, and he could estimate the general scope. However, it is said that the living conditions in those places are extremely difficult and are far less affluent and convenient than Sanya. It is necessary to make more preparations earlier.
Tan Juren had heard before that expatriate officials could enjoy many special benefits before traveling. For example, in principle, there is no upper limit on the weight of checked personal belongings. Even if a house is dismantled from Sanya and transported to the place of appointment, it is theoretically possible. In addition, you can apply for some special items and equipment, such as weapons, medicines, charging power devices, bathroom equipment and even customized furniture, etc. These needs must be submitted early.
Tan Juren is just one of the thousands of people who went south in this South China Sea colonial development plan. However, because of his special status, his treatment is naturally far from that of ordinary immigrants. Han Zhengshan, who was also included in the list of people going south, had no special treatment that he could apply for.
Han Zhengshan successfully completed the one-month training. Although there were some flaws in the final assessment because he was not familiar with the Haihan Public Security Regulations, he was already the person designated by the senior management, so the examiner did not think his performance was perfect. Just turn a blind eye and let it go. Moreover, although Han Zhengshan's obvious shortcomings were exposed in the assessment, his strengths are also very prominent. His many years of working experience are advantages that police officers who are studying at the same time do not have, and this kind of work experience is very important in the special industry of the police. , it is definitely a capital that cannot be ignored. The Police Department was able to entrust him with important responsibilities when he first arrived, and this was what he valued.
Considering that Han Zhengshan's adaptation period in Haihan was too short, Fu Li also arranged a short internship period for him before his official departure, so that he could become familiar with the daily operation mode of Haihan's grassroots security agencies as soon as possible.
"Are you Han Zhengshan?" Huang Tongyang put down the letter of introduction in his hand and looked at the person standing in front of him.
Han Zhengshan was wearing a brand-new black police uniform. He stood upright and even had his hair cut short. He looked just like an ordinary police officer. However, judging from his appearance, it is not difficult to tell that he is already quite old, which is rare among grassroots police officers.
Han Zhengshan quickly nodded in agreement, and Huang Tongyang then asked: "Then you are a veteran who has been discharged from the army and transferred to another job?"
"The humble position came from the Ming Dynasty." Han Zhengshan paused, and then continued: "I used to work in the Yamen, and I was appreciated by the chief. When I came to Haihan, I was given this job again."
"Oh... I understand." Huang Tongyang nodded in sudden realization. The letter of introduction only mentioned that Han Zhengshan would be arranged to intern at the Shengli Port Police Station, but did not elaborate on his personal situation. Huang Tongyang saw that he was not young, but he had a faint air of a colleague, so he could not help but guess his origins. Huang Tongyang himself was a retired soldier from the police department, so he naturally speculated in this direction, but he did not expect that the other party was a police officer in the Ming Dynasty.
Since Han Zhengshan was a Ming Dynasty police officer, this arrangement from his superiors is understandable. There are many people in the police force who have transferred from the detective and inspection divisions. This situation is not uncommon. Some people who came early have even climbed to relatively high positions. For example, Yu Zhen, the person in charge of the Shilu Mining Area Hard Labor Camp, the largest hard labor camp on Hainan Island, was a catcher in Yacheng Zhizhou Yamen before joining Haihan. Now he is in charge of thousands of prisoners. It's much more prosperous than when I was a catcher.
However, since the other party is not from the Haihan Army, but an immigrant from the Ming Dynasty, Huang Tongyang does not need to talk about comradeship to win over the relationship. He coughed dryly and said: "Han Zhengshan, since you are here for an internship, then I As the director of this police station, I will first tell you about the situation of our police station.”
Shengli Port Police Station is the first formal grassroots security agency established by Haihan in the Sanya area. Ren Liang, the current director of the Police Department, personally served as the director of the police station, so this police station can be regarded as having a good start. Because the police station's jurisdiction is located in the core area of Haihan Country, its performance is clearly seen by the top management, so it has become the model police station that has received the most awards from the Haihan Executive Committee.
"Look at the certificates we have here. Every year, our police station ranks among the top three in the annual assessment of the Police Department!" Huang Tongyang proudly showed the newcomers the various certificates hanging on the wall of his office: "And here, they are all A commendation for solving a major case. This is the commendation order issued by the Executive Committee after the Spanish spy case was solved last year! ”
The Spanish spy case that occurred in Port Victory in early 1634 can be said to be a highlight of Huang Tongyang's career. He was fortunate to participate in the entire investigation and arrest process, and received an award from the Executive Committee after the case was concluded. If it weren't for the fact that his family is all in Sanya, Huang Tongyang would have followed the arrangements from above last year and been sent to a place in the north to serve as a local sheriff with greater authority. Of course, there are benefits to staying in Sanya. This place is the capital of Haihan. Staying here to be the director of a police station is equivalent to being a capital official. Although the official position is smaller, staying in Sanya will lead you to the next level and you will be promoted gradually based on your seniority. Going up is also a reliable development route.
However, although Huang Tongyang's official position has not changed, his police rank has been promoted by one level because of his meritorious service in the espionage case. If he wants to be promoted further in the future, this police rank will not hold him back. He currently continues to serve as the director of Shengli Port Police Station, which can be regarded as a low-level job.
Han Zhengshan didn't know the mystery of this, but the police station had a special status, and he could imagine it even without Huang Tongyang's explanation. When he first worked as a catcher in the Qiantang County Government, it was the same job he did after he was promoted to the Hangzhou Government Office, but the actual experience was completely different. Hangzhou is the political, economic and cultural center of Zhejiang, and its income and power are far superior to those in the county. , the same principle applies to Haihan.
Han Zhengshan was much older than Huang Tongyang, but Huang Tongyang had met younger police officials before, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with being more humble, and he took advantage of the situation and said a lot of complimentary words.
Huang Tongyang's police officers are almost all selected from fishermen, farmers, sailors, and indigenous mountain people. How can someone like Han Zhengshan, who has been in the yamen for many years, know how to look at faces and flatter people? Very comfortable and useful.
"During your internship here, work steadily and don't make mistakes. When your internship is over, I will write a few good words for you in your internship book." Huang Tongyang decided to give this older intern a slightly better treatment. After all, there are not many smart people in this police station who understand the rules and speak up like him.
"Thank you for taking care of me, sir!" Han Zhengshan knew what he was doing and immediately bowed to thank him. He has been working in the yamen for many years and has seen all kinds of people. If he wants to flatter his boss, he can easily come up with a few words. He could also see that his immediate boss seemed to like this, and he immediately knew that he should be better off during this so-called internship period. However, Han Zhengshan still underestimated Huang Tongyang's consciousness. This was a veteran who directly joined the army with immigration status in 1628 and was tested in the Annan battlefield. He had long regarded himself as a Haihan citizen, and his political beliefs were relatively firm. Moreover, Huang Tongyang has been working under the nose of the chief for a long time, and he clearly distinguishes the important and the important. He will never lose his ambition just because of a few compliments from the interns. The tasks that should be assigned to Han Zhengshan will still be handled in accordance with the regulations.
"Zheng Gao, I'll leave this newcomer to you. Well... let's start with the patrol officer! When you go out on patrol today, take him with you." Soon Huang Tongyang summoned his capable men. Han Zhengshan was handed over to him to arrange the work.
Zheng Gao and Han Zhengshan got to know each other, and then took him to the equipment warehouse to receive items such as armed belts, rattan helmets, batons, copper whistles, and handcuffs for the patrol. Han Zhengshan watched with slight envy as Zheng Gao received a black revolver. After counting the ammunition, he put it into a cowhide holster and hung it on the armed belt around his waist. He had already touched this kind of flash cap fired pistol during training and experienced its terrifying lethality. He knew that this kind of weapon was almost invincible in close combat if it was used by trained people. However, in the Haihan Police Force, only the leading police officers of the patrol team and a small number of armed police officers are equipped with guns during official duties. Even people with positions like Huang Tongyang are not required to carry guns at all times. Interns like Han Zhengshan naturally have no chance to touch a gun.
"What? Are you envious?" Zheng Gao noticed Han Zhengshan's eyes, patted the holster on his waist with pride and said: "With this thing in my body, no matter what kind of thief or robber is there, I can't get it!"
For the police, this pistol is not only a weapon for self-defense and violence, but also a status symbol. Being able to carry this thing out on patrol is a job that will make you proud. However, Han Zhengshan's envy is mainly for the power to use this kind of weapon, rather than the pomp and circumstance of carrying a gun on patrol. After all, he was a head catcher for many years in Hangzhou, and when he went out to do things, he was basically cheered by everyone. The posture and pomp are not much worse than the patrol captain here.
Zheng Gao gathered his team in the courtyard of the police station, including Han Zhengshan, a temporary intern, there were seven people in total. Zheng Gao briefly explained Han Zhengshan's identity to everyone in his team, and then told Te Tei: "No matter what situation you encounter, you are not allowed to leave the team and move around on your own without my order and permission. Do you understand?"
Han Zhengshan responded quickly: "I understand, the instructors have repeatedly talked about it in the previous training."
Zheng Gao still felt a little uneasy and asked Zhui: "If we encounter an emergency, how should we deal with it?"
Han Zhengshan said: "If it is a minor matter, a short copper whistle will be used to alert the offender. Those who do not comply will be given a verbal warning, or whether to arrest will be decided depending on the severity of the situation. If there is an uncontrollable situation, a long copper whistle will be used to summon colleagues. Work together to solve the problem.”
Zheng Gao nodded and said: "Although there are mostly Han people here, there are also many foreign activities. People may not understand what you say, so you must pay attention to methods when dealing with emergencies. Don't be impatient. Do you understand?"
Han Zhengshan responded: "I will remember it."
"Let's go!" Zheng Gao saw that Han Zhengshan was calm and calm, without the usual panic among newcomers, and he was quite satisfied with his performance. He immediately led the team to set off and began to perform today's patrol mission.
The jurisdiction of the Shengli Port Police Station is quite large. It starts from the west bank of the Tiandu River estuary in the east, ends at the eastern end of the Luhuitou Peninsula in the west, extends beyond the shore defenses of the Yulin Peninsula in the south, and ends at the gate of Shengli Fort in the north, including Luhuitou. Including the Shengli Port Shipyard area between the peninsula and the Yulin Peninsula, the entire narrow coastal area in between is under its jurisdiction. Just walking along this range is almost twenty miles away.
Of course, the patrol team's patrol routes are not that roundabout. They basically patrol fixed key areas, such as the Victory Port area, the shipyard, Victory Port Plaza and the commercial area near the Landscape Avenue. In principle, the police will not enter "restricted areas" directly under the jurisdiction of the military such as Yulin Peninsula and Fort Victory.
Han Zhengshan has been in Sanya for more than a month, but most of his time has been spent in immigration camps and training bases. It was from the beginning of this patrol that he really began to experience the prosperity of Sanya. Zheng Gao knew that he was a new immigrant, so while leading the patrol, he also gave him some local information.
"The wharf you see now used to be a deserted beach. Eight years ago, the leaders crossed the sea and came to Sanya, where they opened a port and built a port, which gradually gave rise to what it is today." Zheng Gao walked towards it as he walked. Han Zhengshan introduced: "This is Pier 3, which mainly berths passenger ships from abroad. You see, almost all the people coming in and out are foreigners. After they arrive at the port, they must first go to the port center to report and obtain entry Only with a temporary status permit can you stay in the local area.”
Han Zhengshan thought that being able to build a remote bay into such a prosperous port in eight years is really impressive. With such ability, it is no wonder that the Haihan people were able to gain a foothold in Zhoushan so quickly and gradually built the area outside Hangzhou Bay. The largest trading port. Of course, the construction level of Zhoushan Port pales in comparison to that of Victory Port and is not on the same level.
But Han Zhengshan had a question that he had been holding back for a long time. At this time, he couldn't help but ask Zheng Gaofa: "I see that Victory Port has no defense means. Victory Fort is just an ordinary stone fortress without high walls or strong cities." , if there is an enemy invasion, how to resist it? ”
Zheng Gao was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Do you think there is no defense here? Look at the east side of the bay, there is the navy's base camp, and those densely packed on the shore are not merchant ships. The passenger ships are all navy warships! If Haihan Navy claims to be second in the South China Sea, no country dares to claim to be first! If they want to attack Victory Port from the sea, they will die because of their death!”
