My life skills in Daming Liver

Gao Wuguan was stunned. The Military Selection Department under the Ministry of War was responsible for the appointment of generals and was one of the most critical departments in the entire Ministry of War.

Gao Wuguan holds a military position, and his transfer and appointment are the responsibilities of the Military Selection Department.

But this middle-aged official wearing a civil service uniform is the Wenxuanlang of the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel. The Personnel Department is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of the entire southeastern civil service system. How could he appear here together with people from the Military Selection Department.

Moreover, when he was attending a banquet at Li Yangong's house, he actually had people from the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War and the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel come to the door at the same time to announce his new appointment. This was even more strange.

Even Li Yangong looked at the two people with some doubts. If he hadn't known the official of the Martial Arts Department, and it was the Martial Arts Officer who announced his new position, Li Yangong would have almost thought they were liars.

Immediately afterwards, the Wenxuanlang said: "This appointment is a secret mission. Please leave those who are not involved first."

Li Yangong originally wanted to say that this is my home, but when he saw the look in the martial artist's eyes, he had no choice but to leave the backyard.

At this time, Wen Xuanlang took out a letter of appointment from the Governor's Office and said:

"Gao Wuguan, Senior Operations Staff Officer of the General Staff Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, has been recommended by the cabinet and confirmed by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, appointing you as Wuyuan Magistrate and Counselor of Wuyuan Military Affairs."

Now Gao Wuguan finally understood why his appointment required an official from the Literature and Selection Department and an official from the Military Selection Department to announce it at the same time.

The prefect is a civilian official, while the military counselor is a military officer position.

This made Gao Wuguan a little surprised. The official system in the southeast has always been very strict. There are also part-time civil and military positions, but they are usually in enemy-occupied areas or newly captured lands.

Where is Wuyuan City?

Gao Wuguan searched for his geographical knowledge and then remembered that this was a city founded by Yu Dayou in the Grassland Hetao area!

The Grand Governor actually asked him to go to Wuyuan City?

Only then did Gao Wuguan understand why his position was so high.

The prefect of Wuyuan City may be said to be a prefect, but in fact the population of Wuyuan City is not large, so this prefect is also highly qualified.

As counselor of military affairs, the chief general of Wuyuan is Yu Dayou. As the counselor, I also serve as the logistics and intelligence staff.

However, this appointment still made Gao Wuguan excited.

If it were other people, being sent to the grassland by a transfer order, they might be dissatisfied.

But Gao Wuguan was writing theories about logistics and warfare, and Wuyuan City was a great place to practice his teachings!

Is there any place more difficult to complete logistical supplies than on the grassland?

Wuyuan City is also a newly established city. The city is still under military control, leaving Gao Wuguan to take charge of civil affairs. On the one hand, it is also because Yu Dayou keeps writing letters and needs the help of civil affairs management talents.

On the other hand, it also allows Gao Wuguan to become familiar with civil affairs. After all, logistics is closely related to civil affairs.

Gao Wuguan accepted the appointment calmly.

Wu Xuanlang of the Ministry of War patted Gao Wuguan on the shoulder and said:

"Advisor Gao, you are performing a top-secret mission this time, and you cannot disclose your whereabouts to anyone."

"The Grand Governor attaches great importance to the issue of Wuyuan City. This is the nail we have planted on the grassland. It is also related to the security of the entire northern border after we unify the world in the future. You should not have any resistance."

Gao Wuguan immediately said: "Please rest assured, Governor, I have no objection to this job transfer and I will definitely complete the task!"

After the two civil and military selectors left, Li Yangong also guessed what secret mission Gao Wuguan had accepted. He did not continue to ask questions, but had a dinner with Gao Wuguan.

After the dinner, the two of them drank and said goodbye. Everyone knew that the territory of the Southeast was now huge, and we were so far apart that we might want to get together in the future, but we didn’t know when.

In the end, the two just said goodbye to each other.

Li Yangong took a warship in Nanjing, sailed up the Yangtze River, and went to Wuchang to report.

Gao Wuguan is heading to Shanghai. He will first arrive in Daku by clipper ship, then disguise himself and follow the caravan from the southeast, pretending to be a smuggling caravan, bypass the border and enter the grassland, and then go to Wuyuan City.

When Gao Wuguan arrived at the Shanghai port, he saw that the entire dock was crowded with people and various transport ships were parked.

The Shanghai Port was built by Su Ze when he was organizing the Anti-Smuggling Group in Shanghai. It is now a very important port in the southeast region, second only to Fuzhou Port, Guangzhou Port and Hangzhou Port, and even later surpassed Suzhou Taicang Wharf and is the largest port in the entire Southeast. The fourth-ranked marina in the Southeast.

Nowadays, Songjiang's goods are basically shipped through Shanghai terminals and shipped to other terminals for shipment to all parts of the world.

In addition to being a cargo terminal, Shanghai Port is also the most important military port in the southeast.

The fleet of the First Brigade is anchored in Shanghai Port, and now political and military orders in various coastal areas are issued to various places through clippers in Shanghai Port.

The military port and the civilian port of Shanghai Port are separated. Gaowuguan is performing the tasks of the southeastern government. Naturally, it is to go to the military port and take a clipper ship to go north.

However, transport ships piled with cargo were also docked in the military port. This was the first time Gaowu Guan had seen such a scene.

However, the issue of military supplies and logistics was originally a secret of the army, and Gao Wuguan was not prepared to ask about it. Just when he was about to board the ship, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.

Gao Wuguan looked back and saw a young man wearing businessman's clothing looking at him.

Gao Wuguan immediately recognized that the young man calling his name was Wei Fenglin, a classmate of the New Army Academy founded by his father in Nanjing.

Wei Fenglin also participated in the Reformed Uprising in Nanjing and joined the Southeast along with most of the new Nanjing troops.

It's just that Gao Wuguan has been traveling abroad these years and has not had much contact with these classmates.

"Brother Gao! Long time no see!"

Gao Wuguan was also very happy to meet old friends again. Gao Wuguan looked at his pocket watch and saw that it was still early to board the ship, so the two started chatting in the tea break area of ​​the pier.

"Why isn't Brother Wei wearing a military uniform?"

There is something strange about Gaowuguan. People entering and leaving the military port area of ​​​​Shanghai Port are basically soldiers. It is rare to see people dressed like Wei Fenglin.

Wei Fenglin said with a smile: "I have retired from the army!"

"ah?"

Gao Wuguan was a little confused. He knew Wei Fenglin's family background. He was an outstanding son of a military family recruited by his father Gao Gong, and his family background was relatively average among the students.

This group of students were the most opposed to the Ming court in the subsequent uprising, and are now the most progressive officers who accept Su Ze's new doctrine. They are now the backbone of the southeastern military.

This time I returned to my hometown and talked to my father Gao Gong about the new army he had organized in Nanjing. Gao Gong also lamented that he had trained talents for the Southeast and made a wedding dress for the governor Su Ze.

Qualifications are also the most important thing in the military. Among the troops in the southeast, the first group are naturally the Changning Guards and other township party members who followed Su Ze at the earliest. These people are now high-ranking officials in the southeast military.

Next are the Shanghai Anti-Smuggling Corps and Fuzhou Naval Academy. This group of officers was brought out by Su Ze. They are also the middle and high-level forces of the Southeast New Army and the backbone of the military.

Then it was the turn of the newly reformed army in Nanjing. Although they were trained by the school founded by Gao Gong, they accepted Su Ze's new learning. They were also the fastest to integrate into the Southeast system. Most of them were like Li Yangong. As long as there are no merits or demerits, one can become a middle-level person.

The officers in the southeast were treated very well, and they could be transferred to the local government system after being discharged from the army. However, Wei Fenglin was wearing businessman's clothes, which made Gao Wuguan very puzzled.

Wei Fenglin saw Gao Wuguan's doubts and said:

"I have retired from the army and now I have joined Donghai Trading Company as the head of the company's logistics department."

"East China Sea Trading Company?"

On the way to Shanghai, Gao Wuguan heard many people mention this company. He heard that the company's shares were sold out on the first day they were listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Now many rich people hold them. Money, looking for ways to invest in this company.

Gao Wuguan originally had no interest in these things, but when he heard that his old friend had retired from the army and joined a company, he was still a little surprised.

Wei Fenglin said: "Our Donghai Trading Company has shares in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Navy. Although I have left the army, I still do the same things as before, all of which are logistics work."

Gao Wuguan was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Wei Fenglin meant.

It seems that this Donghai Trading Company is indeed as rumored. Just like Wuyuan City, it is a secret agent arranged by the Governor's Palace in North Korea.

Gao Wu looked at these merchant ships and could still see the serial numbers that had just been covered with paint. These transport ships were used by the military in the past!

Looking at these supplies again, these bags are all standard bags used by the Southeast Military Logistics Department, and even the military logo has not been erased.

Gao Wuguan said to Wei Fenglin: "It turns out that Brother Wei has an important mission."

Wei Fenglin grinned. He was originally serving well in the Navy, but suddenly he received an order from above to retire. Wei Fenglin was also very aggrieved and incomprehensible.

It was later learned that he joined the Donghai Trading Company to perform special tasks for the Metropolitan Governor's Office. After understanding his responsibilities, Wei Fenglin started a new job with great enthusiasm.

His latest task is to transport the materials collected by Donghai Trading Company in the southeast to Jeju Island to ensure the logistical supplies of the "company".

Everyone knows what the return on investment in Donghai Trading Company is. This is a vassal state with a huge population and a strategically important location. The profits it can bring can be imagined.

This is also the reason why the shares of Donghai Trading Company were sold out at the beginning of subscription.

During this stock craze, the two companies that were most active in subscribing for railway bonds last time, the Xu family of Songjiang and Yu Gongzi of Hangzhou Prefecture, maintained restraint. They only subscribed for some stocks symbolically and did not participate in the robbery of Donghai Trading Company. of stocks.
