Chapter 873 Morocco Provinces
Ouyang Shuo had no time to pay attention to the hustle and bustle of the outside world and seized time to deal with the post-war affairs. Seeing that the demonized platypus fled back to the underground world, Ouyang Shuo was unable to do so for the time being, so he simply took the Shenwu Guard straight to Rabat City.
"Master!"
At the city gate, Bai Qi and his generals were waiting to pick him up.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "Thank you all the soldiers and soldiers, let me go to the city with me."
"promise!"
Under the escort of the army, Ouyang Shuo entered Rabat City in a mighty way.
When they learned that Rabat City had returned to its original state, the people of Rabat City who had already returned one after another were either standing on both sides of the street or hiding in their rooms, staring at the iron-blooded army with awe or hostile eyes.
To this day, Morocco has changed its days and has changed its new owner.
…………
Royal Palace, main hall.
Ouyang Shuo touched the broken stone tablet and heard a wave of system prompts in his ears.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for saying Wuyi, who led his troops to capture Morocco. Please choose the way to deal with Morocco, destroy, occupy or transfer?"
"Choose to occupy!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the players for not celebrating Morocco. Morocco is officially incorporated into the Great Xia Dynasty. Players can re-plan Morocco and rename it?"
“Planned as a Moroccan province.”
It is no smaller than the small land like the Star Kingdom that was occupied before. Morocco's area is wider than that of Yunnan, the largest among the provinces. It is a good idea to plan as a province.
However, Morocco has limited available area, Ouyang Shuo plans to draw out four counties with the four cities of Rabat City, Casablanca City, Agadir City and Tangier City as the center.
Rabat City is naturally the provincial capital.
Unlike the four major provinces including Yunnan Province, Ouyang Shuo plans to take the lead in establishing the post of provincial governor in the Moroccan province and establish a governor's office.
The official allocation of Moroccan provinces will also be different from other provinces. They will be "forced provincial governor's yamen and weak county governor's yamen". The future governor's yamen will be the central key to managing the entire Moroccan province.
Ouyang Shuo's move has its own profound meaning.
First, with the establishment of the Moroccan province, the Great Xia Dynasty already had five major provinces and initially met the conditions for establishing a provincial governor. The provincial governor would not be allowed to seize the presidency and would not be able to lose the final result.
The Qing Dynasty in history only established eight governors, and the Daxia Dynasty was not far from this goal.
Second, the Moroccan province is isolated overseas, and the people in the jurisdiction are not Han nationality, and the situation is relatively special. Compared with other inland provinces, a strong central government office is needed to control the overall situation.
Furthermore, the Moroccan province is located on the African continent, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and is located in the Atlantic Ocean, opposite the American continent. The surrounding situation is extremely complex and a powerful figure needs to take charge.
This situation is similar to the Tang Dynasty's establishment of a Jiedushi on the frontier.
Three of the Moroccan provinces have just been taken and are not core areas. The establishment of a provincial governor here is also a pilot project, which is conducive to the court to improve the power of the governor and explore relevant institutional arrangements.
The establishment of a governor here is relatively less sensitive and the resistance will be smaller.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo had another arrangement for the Moroccan province, which was to build another new city, Ceuta City, outside the existing four county towns.
In reality, the Municipality of Ceuta was once the territory of Spain in North Africa, located in the northernmost part of the Maghreb, along the Mediterranean coast near the Strait of Gibraltar, bordering Morocco, with an area of about 18.5 square kilometers.
Simply put, Ceuta's geographical location is similar to that of the Key Point City. The two small cities, one in the south and one in the north, are firmly guarding the Strait of Gibraltar.
Ceuta in history has always been a major town on the trade route and a military location.
The Port of Ceuta is also very prosperous like the Port of Gibraltar.
Therefore, after taking over Morocco, how could Ouyang Shuo not strengthen the existence of this place? With the Base City and Ceuta City, if the Great Xia Dynasty was announced to have tightly held the throat of the connection between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean.
Any ship that travels between two seas must behave according to the expression of the Daxia Dynasty.
In the game, given the open or secret hints or pressures of the lords of Spain and other countries, Moroccan players have never dared to build cities in Ceuta, but Ouyang Shuo has no such concerns.
Since he turned his face, Ouyang Shuo naturally didn't mind having fun with the Mediterranean lord.
...
"System prompt: The province of Morocco was named successfully. Have the province ** city pools renamed?"
"no!"
Ouyang Shuo was not that bored. Keeping the original city name was also a thought for the Moroccan people.
"System prompt: The Moroccan province has completed its planning and officially opened the cross-border teleportation array of Rabat City. Friendly reminder: The cross-border teleportation array of Rabat City can only connect to the teleportation array in the territory, and cannot be directly connected to the teleportation array of the royal city and other territories in China."
Accompanied by the system prompt, the broken stone tablet was restored to this. The difference is that the stone tablet is no longer "Morocco-Rabat City", but "Daxia Dynasty-Rabat City".
When Morocco fell, the royal city of Rabat was no longer a royal city, but just a provincial capital. Fortunately, the satellite city was created before the national war, and Gaia would not take it back.
Given that there are no players in the Moroccan province, Ouyang Shuo can consider guiding Chinese players to settle in the Moroccan province and open up the underground world here.
Only after the setting is completed will the national war come to an end.
Of course, this is the first step to accepting Morocco. There are many real aftermaths, including military reorganization, appointment and removal of officials, planning for Moroccan provinces, pacifying the people, etc.
Every piece is urgent.
Fortunately, after the teleportation array was opened, Rabat City and Shanhai City were interconnected, saving a lot of trouble.
This time Ouyang Shuo is preparing to be a "hands-off boss". The military reorganization matter will be handed over to the Military Affairs Office, and the appointment and removal of officials and provincial planning will be handed over to the Cabinet for handling.
The two major centers discussed and came up with detailed plans, then reported to Ouyang Shuo to make a decision.
Ouyang Shuo also wanted to test the Cabinet and Military Affairs Office through this incident. It has been more than a month since the two central institutions were established, and it is time to truly play their role.
Many things cannot be discovered without practice.
Since ancient times, the struggle and coordination between imperial power and ministerial power have been throughout the dynasty. As the founding emperor, Ouyang Shuo naturally did not have to worry about being constrained by ministerial power. However, he wanted to explore a system that can be used to suit all the world and be renewed for a long time to achieve long-term stability in all dynasties.
The dynasty architecture designed by Ouyang Shuo for the Great Xia Dynasty is not a perfect one. He was just an adventurer in his previous life, and many architectures only know their name but not the essence.
If you want to really understand this system, Ouyang Shuo has to learn more and practice more. This is also one of Gaia's good intentions. If you don't temper your lords like this, how can you become a great person in the future?
In the afternoon of the same day, Du Ruhui, Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of Military Affairs, was ordered to arrive at Rabat City to preside over the reorganization of the army. The second assistant to the cabinet, Kou Zhun, also came with him and brought a group of capable officials to appease the hearts of the people and inspect the Moroccan provinces so that the cabinet could formulate the personnel layout of the Moroccan provinces.
The two ministers came but did not work immediately. Instead, they went to the palace to pay homage to the king. The two knew very well that although the king gave them great autonomy this time, they could not really do what they did.
Before "work starts", listen to the king's guidance, which is the way to be a minister.
Ouyang Shuo was not surprised. Both ministers were experienced old ministers, so he didn't need to hint at anything. During the conversation, Ouyang Shuo was not afraid of it and tactfully mentioned his planning ideas for the army and provinces.
This idea is the outline of the next actions of the Military Affairs Office and the Cabinet. If they do not understand this general outline, even if they try their best, the final plan they come up with would not be in line with the king's mind.
The three of them talked for a whole afternoon.
After the talk, Du Ruhui and Kou Zhun had a clear mind and could carry out their work with confidence.
In the evening, news came from Huo Qubing that Agadir had been taken down by the Imperial Guards. The reason why Agadir was delayed until this time was that more than 90% of the time was spent on the road.
As early as the morning, after defeating the Spanish Invincible Fleet, Alvaro led the fleet to take Tangier. At this point, there was no free territory in Morocco, and all of them were under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The only regret is that at night, there was no news from Lu Bu, who was responsible for pursuing Mohammed VI. Ouyang Shuo was worried that Mohammed VI might have fled to the eastern mountainous area at this time.
In that case, it would be difficult to deal with.
...
At night, Ouyang Shuo held a banquet in the palace to reward the soldiers. This palace was not transformed into a provincial governor's office, but was named Rabat Palace for Ouyang Shuo to live in Africa.
The Rabat Palace is also Ouyang Shuo's first other palace outside the royal city.
The next morning, Ouyang Shuo issued a military order, except for the Fifth Corps of the Longxiang Army temporarily staying in the Moroccan province and assisting the Military Affairs Office to reorganize prisoners of war, the remaining First Corps of the Longxiang Army, Second Corps of the Imperial Guards, and Third Corps, immediately returned to their respective garrisons after completing the relevant handover.
On the 23rd, Lu Bu and his party returned to Rabat City.
As Ouyang Shuo expected, Muhammad VI and his party disappeared in the vast mountains. Even with the Black Snake Guard as their guide, Lu Bu and the others could not find any trace of the enemy.
In desperation, Lu Bu had to turn back first and report to Bai Qi.
The accompanying Black Snake Guard spy stayed and continued to search for the whereabouts of Muhammad VI.
Ouyang Shuo received the news and sent a direct order to the Black Snake, and handed over the task of searching for Mohammed VI to the Black Snake Guard to complete it alone.
"Don't worry, even if you search the entire African continent, the Black Snake Guard will find Muhammad VI." The Black Snake received the order and issued a military order.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, not commenting.
In fact, Ouyang Shuo was not very concerned about whether he could find Muhammad VI. Even if Muhammad VI fled to other African countries, he would probably not be able to make any waves.
