Chapter 873: The Province of Morocco
Ouyang Shuo had no time to pay attention to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and seized the time to deal with the aftermath of the war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing the demonized platypus fleeing back to the underworld, Ouyang Shuo couldn't do it for the time being, so he simply took the Shenwu Guard and went straight to Rabat City.
"Your Majesty!"
At the gate of the city, Bai Qi and a group of generals were waiting to take over.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "All the soldiers have worked hard, and they will enter the city with this king." ”
"No!"
Ouyang Shuo, escorted by the army, entered the city of Rabat.
Knowing that the city of Rabat had been restored to its original state, the people of Rabat who had returned one after another either stood on both sides of the street or hid in their houses, looking at this iron-blooded army with awe or hostility.
Today, Morocco has changed its world and has a new owner.
…………
The royal palace, the main hall.
Ouyang Shuo touched the broken stone stele, and there was a sound of the system prompt in his ears.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for leading his troops to capture Morocco, please choose the way to dispose of Morocco, destroy, occupy or transfer?"
"Choose to occupy!"
"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for occupying Morocco without clothes, Morocco is officially included in the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the player can replan Morocco, whether to rename it?"
"Planned as a Moroccan province."
No more than the previously occupied Star Kingdom, Morocco's area is larger than Yunnan Province, the largest of the provinces, and planning as a province is the proper meaning of the title.
However, the available area in Morocco is limited, and Ouyang Shuo plans to carve out four counties around the four cities of Rabat, Casablanca, Agadir and Tangier.
The city of Rabat is naturally the seat of the province.
Unlike the four major provinces such as Yunnan Province, Ouyang Shuo planned to take the lead in establishing the post of provincial governor in Moroccan Province and set up the Governor's Yamen.
The official configuration of the Moroccan province will also be different from that of other provinces, and it will be "the governor's yamen of the forced province and the yamen of the weak county guarding", and the future governor's yamen will be the key to the management of the entire Moroccan province.
Ouyang Shuo's move has its own deep meaning.
First, with the establishment of the Moroccan province, the Bactria Dynasty already owned the land of the five major provinces, and initially met the conditions for the establishment of a provincial governor, so as not to let the provincial governor divide one side, and the tail will not be lost.
Historically, the Qing Dynasty had only set up eight governors, and the Great Xia Dynasty was not far from this goal.
Second, the Moroccan province is isolated overseas, and the people under its jurisdiction are not Han nationality, the situation is relatively special, compared with other inland provinces, it is more necessary to have a strong central yamen to dominate the overall situation.
In addition, the province of Morocco is located on the African continent, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the American continent opposite.
This situation is similar to the Tang Dynasty's establishment of festival envoys in the frontier.
The establishment of a provincial governor in Morocco has just been won and is not a core region, which can also be regarded as a pilot project, which is conducive to the imperial court to improve the governor's authority and explore relevant institutional arrangements.
The establishment of a governor here is relatively less sensitive, and there will be less resistance.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo also has an arrangement for the Moroccan province, that is, to build a new city in addition to the existing four county towns, the city of Ceuta.
In reality, the municipality of Ceuta was once a Spanish possession in North Africa, located in the northernmost part of the Maghreb, on the Mediterranean coast near the Strait of Gibraltar and on the border with Morocco, with an area of about 18.5 square kilometers.
To put it simply, Ceuta is geographically similar to that of the city of Pulp, with two small towns, one south and one north, holding the Strait of Gibraltar.
Historically, Ceuta has always been an important town on trade routes and a military location.
The Port of Ceuta, like the Port of Gibraltar, is extraordinarily prosperous.
Therefore, after taking Morocco, how could Ouyang Shuo not strengthen his presence here. With the city of Basis Point and the city of Ceuta, it is as if it is announced that the Great Xia Dynasty has held the throat of the connection between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
Any ship that travels between the two seas has to act according to the face of the Great Xia Dynasty.
In the game, in view of the hints or pressures of the lords of Spain and other countries, Moroccan players have not dared to build a city in Ceuta, but Ouyang Shuo has no worries.
Since he had turned his face, Ouyang Shuo naturally didn't mind having a good time with the Mediterranean Lord.
……
"System prompt: The Moroccan province is successfully named, is it necessary to rename the province ** Zhuchengchi?"
"No!"
Ouyang Shuo is not so boring, and retaining the original city name is also a thought for the Moroccan people.
"System prompt: The Moroccan province has completed its planning, and the transnational teleportation array of Rabat City has been officially opened. Friendly reminder: The Rabat City Transnational Teleportation Array can only be connected to the teleportation array in the territory, and cannot be directly connected to the teleportation array in the Chinese Wangcheng and other territories. ”
With the system beep, the broken stele was restored. The difference is that the stele is no longer engraved with "Morocco - Rabat City", but "Bactria Dynasty - Rabat City".
With the fall of Morocco, the royal city of Rabat ceased to be a royal city, but only a provincial governor. Fortunately, the satellite city was generated before the national war, and Gaia will not take it back.
In view of the fact that there are no players in the Moroccan province, Ouyang Shuo can consider guiding players from China to settle in the Moroccan province and explore the underground world here.
After the setting is completed, the national war can really come to an end.
Of course, this is the first step in the takeover of Morocco, and there are many things to really deal with the aftermath, including the reorganization of the army, the appointment and dismissal of officials, the planning of the Moroccan provinces, and the pacification of the people.
Every piece counts.
Fortunately, after the teleportation array was opened, Rabat City was connected to Shanhai City, saving a lot of trouble.
Ouyang Shuo is preparing to be a "hands-off shopkeeper" this time, and the reorganization of the army will be handled by the Military Aircraft Department, and the appointment and dismissal of officials and provincial planning and other government affairs will be handled by the cabinet.
The two centers discussed properly, and after coming up with a detailed plan, they reported to Ouyang Shuo to make a decision.
Ouyang Shuo also wanted to use this incident to test the cabinet and the military aircraft department. It has been more than a month since the establishment of the two central institutions, and it is time for them to really play their role.
There are many things that cannot be found without practice.
Since ancient times, the struggle and run-in between imperial power and relative power have run through the dynasty. As the founding emperor, Ouyang Shuo naturally does not have to worry about being constrained by the power of the prime minister, but he wants to explore a set of institutional systems that can be applied everywhere and last for a long time, so that all dynasties can be stable for a long time.
The dynastic structure designed by Ouyang Shuo for the Great Xia Dynasty is not yet perfect. In his previous life, he was just an adventurer, and many of the structures were only known by name, but not the essence of them.
If you want to really understand this system, Ouyang Shuo still needs to learn and practice more. And this is also one of Gaia's good intentions, if you don't temper the lords like this, how can you become great in the future.
In the afternoon of the same day, Du Ruhui, Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of Military Affairs, was ordered to rush to the city of Rabat to preside over the reorganization of the army. Kou Zhun, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, also came with him, and also brought a group of capable officials to reassure the people and inspect the Moroccan provinces so that the cabinet could draw up the personnel layout of the Moroccan provinces.
The two ministers did not immediately work, but went to the palace to see the king. The two knew very well that although the king had given them great autonomy this time, they could not really do their own thing.
Listening to the king's teachings before "starting work" is the way to be a minister.
Ouyang Shuo was not surprised, the two ministers were both experienced ministers, so he didn't need to hint at anything. During the conversation, Ouyang Shuo was not taboo, and euphemistically mentioned his thoughts on the planning of the army and the province.
This idea is the outline of the next steps of the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet. If they didn't understand this general outline, no matter how hard they tried, the plan they came up with in the end would not be in line with the king's mind.
The three of them talked about it for a whole afternoon.
After talking, Du Ruhui and Kou Zhun had the bottom in their hearts and could work with confidence.
In the evening, news came from Huo Quai's side that Agadir had been taken by the Praetorian Guards. The reason why it was delayed until this time to solve Agadir was that more than ninety percent of the time was spent on the road.
And as early as the morning, after defeating the Spanish Armada, Álvaro led the fleet to take Tangier along the way. At this point, there were no more free territories in Morocco, and all of them were under the rule of the Bactria Dynasty.
The only regret is that there was no news from Lü Bu, who was in charge of hunting down Muhammad VI, at night. Ouyang Shuo feared that Muhammad VI had fled to the eastern mountains at this time.
In that case, it's going to be difficult.
……
At night, Ouyang Shuo held a banquet in the palace to reward the soldiers. This palace will not be transformed into the provincial governor's yamen, but will be named Rabat Palace for Ouyang Shuo's residence in Africa.
The Rabat Palace was also Ouyang Shuo's first palace outside the royal city.
Early the next morning, Ouyang Shuo issued a military order, except for the Fifth Army of the Longxiang Army to temporarily stay in Morocco Province and assist the Military Aircraft Department in reorganizing prisoners of war, the remaining First Army of the Longxiang Army and the Second and Third Army Corps of the Praetorian Guard Army immediately returned to their respective stations after completing the relevant handover.
On the 23rd, Lü Bu and his entourage returned to the city of Rabat.
As Ouyang Shuo expected, Muhammad VI and his entourage disappeared into the vast mountains. Even with the Black Snake Guard's secret agent as a guide, Lu Bu and the others could not find any trace of the enemy.
In desperation, Lu Bu could only turn back first and return to Bai Qi.
The Black Serpent Guard agents stayed behind and continued to search for Muhammad VI.
Ouyang Shuo got the news and directly sent an order to the Black Snake to leave the task of searching for Muhammad VI to the Black Snake Guard alone.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, even if the entire African continent is searched, the Black Serpent Guard will find out Muhammad VI." The black snake was ordered and made a military order.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, noncommittal.
In fact, Ouyang Shuo didn't care much about whether he could find Mohammed VI, even if Mohammed VI fled to other countries in Africa, he was afraid that he would not be able to make any waves.
It is difficult to believe that any other country would dare to support the restoration of Mohammed VI.
