Taking over the Egyptian dynasty was more complicated than expected.
Because the subordination of the Egyptian dynasty was not brought down by Daxia using force, and Daxia did not even exert any pressure on the Egyptian dynasty from the front, which left hidden dangers.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Egyptian people, such attachment is more like "betrayal".
Fortunately, Daxia signed a legally binding agreement with the Egyptian dynasty, and there was no fraud.
On April 18th, at ten o'clock in the morning, Kou Zhun, the second assistant of the Great Xia Cabinet, and Mulan Yue, the governor of Africa, arrived in Cairo to officially take over Egypt.
At this time, Cairo's defense has been taken over by the Corrupt Wolf Army.
The headquarters of the African Theater Command and the headquarters of the Greedy Wolf Army have both moved to Cairo. There is no doubt that Cairo City will become the central city of Daxia in Africa.
With the visit of Mulanyue and his party to Cairo, the Egyptian dynasty officially disintegrated, and members of the royal family temporarily lived in the palace, but they no longer appeared in public, or even took a step outside the palace.
According to the arrangement of the azure badge, they will live in the territory of the Germanic dynasty in the future.
A group of civil and military ministers were also dismissed.
For the rule of Egypt, Bactria's strategy was to boil frogs in warm water. Therefore, whether it is an official of the Egyptian court or a local official, if they can stay, the African Protectorate will keep them.
Appointing local officials to the maximum is the coping strategy adopted by Daxia.
In this way, the resistance of the Egyptian people to Daxia will be much smaller, which is conducive to the smooth transition of power. After two or three years, this resistance can basically be quelled.
Even then, the appointment of local officials was the mainstream.
The African continent is no better than southern Xinjiang, and its recognition of Chinese civilization is relatively low. It is too difficult to forcibly assimilate, so it can only be done slowly, trying to win over local people as much as possible.
To use an inappropriate word to describe it, it is "controlling barbarians with barbarians".
…
capital.
Just as Mulanyue and his party were taking over the Egyptian dynasty, the imperial court was also studying the relevant personnel layout.
In addition to the merger of the Sudanese region into the Sudanese province, the newly established Egyptian province and Libyan province need to send a governor to take office.
Especially the governor of Egypt is the top priority.
The cabinet suggested that it is best to select one of the five governors of the African Protectorate as the governor of Egypt, because these five governors are familiar with the African situation and it is easier to enter the role.
Ouyang Shuo approved the cabinet's suggestion.
Among the five governors, Sudanese Governor Pei Yun and Kenyan Governor Cao Shen were dispatched to Africa, so it is naturally impossible to be transferred.
The rest are Du Sijing, Governor of Ethiopia, Sun Wuji, Governor of Tanzania, and Yang Xiuqing, Governor of Mozambique.
Since Du Sijing has been working under Mulanyue's command, in order to avoid suspicion, Ouyang Shuo also excluded Du Sijing from this transfer.
Furthermore, the strategic position of the Ethiopian province is also very important, and Du Sijing is inseparable.
Changsun Wuji was just transferred last year, and he was far from familiar with the situation in Africa, so he was also excluded. In this way, Yang Xiuqing became the only candidate.
Without hesitation, Ouyang Shuo made a decision and transferred Yang Xiuqing to be the governor of Egypt.
This former core figure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can also be regarded as a veteran of the empire.
Yang Xiuqing's experience in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also forged his strengths in comforting people's hearts, which was also of great help to him in governing the Egyptian province.
In this way, Ouyang Shuo has no reason not to reuse Yang Xiuqing.
The one who took over the position of Governor-General of Mosang was Caiyunzhinan, the governor of Xingyi County in Northern Sichuan Province.
Against the backdrop of the abolition of government offices by the imperial court and the increase of county-level establishments, the rank of county guards is actually declining. The promotion from county guards to governor is a real leap from the dragon's gate.
Caiyun Zhinan was the former lord of Caiyun City, and at the same time the core figure of the former [Shunan City-State]. Before joining Daxia, he had a period of conflict and confrontation with Daxia.
Logically speaking, it is difficult for such a person to be promoted, and it is very rare to be able to secure the position of the county guard, let alone ascend to the sky in one step and be promoted to the governor of the province.
Ouyang Shuo made such a decision. Firstly, in the past few years, Caiyunzhinan managed Xingyi County well. As a lord, Caiyun Zhinan's ability to go that far at least proved that he has the ability.
Second, it can be regarded as half a thousand dollars to buy a bone.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to convey a message to the lord-level officials, that Daxia doesn't care about their "criminal records", as long as they put their heart into their duties after being attached to them, they can be reused.
The imperial court will not look at them with colored glasses.
The Governor of Libya Province was promoted by Hao Jiancheng, the former governor of Zhaoqing County in Lingnan Province.
Like Gu Xiuwen, Zhou Haichen and the others, Hao Jiancheng was also Ouyang Shuo's favorite student, a leader among the aboriginal civil servants, and served as the director of construction in the territory before serving as the governor of Zhaoqing County.
There is a reason for Tiao Hao Jiancheng to sit in Libya.
More than 95% of Libya's entire territory is desert and semi-desert. Only the narrow plains along the northern coast can be used for farming and living, and the land utilization rate is extremely low.
But Libya is adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea, and this alone is enough to attract Daxia's attention. Not to mention, like Egypt, Libya is also rich in oil, and its strategic position is immediately highlighted.
In addition, Tunisia, which is also included in the province of Libya, is located at the northernmost tip of Africa, in the middle of the Mediterranean sea route, and faces Italy across the Tunis Strait. It is the only way for oil from the Middle East to be transported to Western Europe and the United States. The geographical location is very important.
The Atlantic Fleet will establish a naval base in Etna, Tunisia.
It was not without reason that the Caesar dynasty overreacted when they learned that Egypt was attached to Bactria. When the Atlantic Fleet returns to the Mediterranean, the Caesars Fleet, which was once glorious, will be in big trouble.
Controlling the Tunis Strait is equivalent to controlling the Mediterranean sea route.
Coupled with the fact that the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal are under the control of Daxia, it can basically be said that Daxia has controlled the fate of the Mediterranean trade.
Such a Libyan province deserves to be guarded by Ouyang Shuo's confidant ministers.
Back then, Mr. Chen didn't dare to make the decision, and ceded the Egyptian dynasty to Daxia, he also had scruples about this.
Sadly, although the Egyptian dynasty controls the Suez Canal and Tunisia, it does not have a navy.
In the end, Daxia is cheaper.
…
In mid-April, when Bactria was taking over the Egyptian dynasty in an orderly manner, the 500,000 army of the Egyptian dynasty was quietly gathering and stationed outside Cairo.
On April 22nd, the 500,000 Egyptian army entered Cairo City under the cover of night, disappeared behind the teleportation array, and appeared in Jidian City thousands of miles away.
According to the rules of the game, the Egyptian dynasty belonged to Daxia, and the 500,000 Egyptian army naturally belonged to the Daxia army, so they could use the teleportation array in Daxia's territory.
In this way, the transmission from Cairo to the base point city is realized.
Early the next morning, the 500,000 Egyptian army landed on the mainland of the Spanish dynasty under the escort of the second formation of the Atlantic Fleet stationed in the port of Gibraltar.
Thus, opened the prelude to the Egyptian army conquest of the Spanish dynasty.
At the same time, the Bactria North African Army, which had just entered the Libyan province, took advantage of the situation and marched westward, attacking the Algeria region that had already been ruled by the Spanish dynasty.
The banner played by the North African Army is "revenge".
Ouyang Shuo did not forget that the silver hand and the azure badge were the shell of Algeria and forced Daxia to abandon the Morocco province.
Two years later, Da Xia came to take revenge.
On April 24, according to the agreement, after purchasing a sum of firearms, the Indian Empire launched a counterattack against the Argentine region controlled by the Spanish Dynasty.
For a time, the Spanish dynasty was besieged on all sides.
