April 18th, Beijing Normal University.
This morning, Ouyang Shuo was receiving a special visitor in the Imperial Garden.
This person was the former Federation President Mr. Chen who Ouyang Shuo repeatedly invited but failed to invite. He never thought that Mr. Chen took the initiative to visit this time, and unexpectedly expressed his willingness to become an official in Daxia.
"I didn't expect you to come." Ouyang Shuo said bluntly.
Old Chen on the opposite side just smiled and put down his teacup, "You can take the initiative to open up wasteland. Of course, I, a bad old man, can't nest anymore. I can help a little."
Depending on the situation, it was Ouyang Shuo who stepped forward and moved Chen Lao.
"It's a great help." Ouyang Shuo followed with a smile.
Again, Chen Lao's political wisdom, understanding of the federal system, and personal connections are all extremely important supplements to Daxia.
"You are fine." Old Chen seemed to be very emotional, and said with a wry smile: "We people are obsessed with power struggles all day long, chasing interests all our lives, and have no sense of mission at all. I am ashamed."
This time, Silver Hand and Zhanlan Badge joined forces, and it was also difficult for the internal selection candidate to be born, and no one wanted to be the first bird.
In this way, Ouyang Shuo was born.
Ouyang Shuo said modestly: "Compared to Mr. Chen, your contribution to the Federation, I am nothing."
Old Chen smiled and waved his hands, "I'm old, I don't dare to be old." Even so, Old Chen was very satisfied to be recognized by Ouyang Shuo.
Gein Ouyang Shuo's words now carry a lot of weight.
After the formalities were over, Ouyang Shuo got down to business and issued a letter of appointment on the spot, formally appointing Mr. Chen as the Empire's special advisor.
Special advisors have no rank, no salary, and no right to participate in and discuss state affairs. They are purely as the emperor's personal advisors and provide necessary consulting services.
The only reward was also rewarded by the emperor himself.
The two chatted for a long time before Chen Lao took his appointment letter and left.
Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Ouyang Shuo's eyes were gloomy, and he seemed to be muttering to himself: "Do you really want to help, or do you think that Bing'er is young and has an opportunity in the future?"
No wonder Ouyang Shuo was suspicious.
Previously, Ouyang Shuo had sincerely invited Mr. Chen to become an official in Daxia time and time again, but he did not invite him; now Mr. Chen took the initiative to vote for a ridiculous reason.
Things are really abnormal.
Old Chen is not a stupefied young man who would regard Ouyang Shuo as a human hero.
Another point is that after Ouyang Shuo made the decision to go to the planet of hope, there was an undercurrent in Daxia's court, which was quietly flowing, which made Ouyang Shuo very vigilant.
After all, Bing'er is young and does not have enough prestige to deal with a big crisis.
Before leaving for Star Hope, Ouyang Shuo must clean up.
"Keep an eye on him!"
Ouyang Shuo said to the air.
With a "swoosh", a black shadow flashed across the flowers in the distance, chasing after Chen Lao.
The huge imperial garden was silent again.
…
On April 20th, Daxia ruthlessly conquered the Gangduo Dynasty, shattering the last illusion of the Persian king, finally decided not to resist, and formally surrendered to Daxia.
The King of Persia also hoped to receive the same treatment as William.
Ouyang Shuo agreed.
For Ouyang Shuo right now, what he lacks most is time.
In just two months, Ouyang Shuo had to prepare for the Star Hope expedition, set up a general base for the Great Xia territory, and deal with handover issues.
It's just so overwhelming.
The sooner the Persian Empire surrendered, the more time Ouyang Shuo won.
It took only one and a half months from the declaration of war in Great Xia to the surrender of the Persian Empire.
Great Xia Bingfeng is so terrifying.
After taking down the Persian Empire, Daxia's territory ushered in another major expansion, and its strength soared.
No one can shake the hegemony of Asia.
After the surrender of the Persian Empire, Ouyang Shuo's eyes had been cast on the Arab Empire, and he asked Honglu Temple to issue an ultimatum to the Arab King.
Only the Arab Empire, voluntarily surrender within one month, otherwise the Great Xia Army will bloody Arabia.
This is by no means empty-handed intimidation.
After conquering the Persian Empire, the Great Xia army increased instead of decreasing. The Arab Empire was about to hit a rock with its eggs, and it was afraid that it would only be beaten to the ground.
In the battle of Persia, because of the voluntary surrender of the Persian Empire, the Persian army waiting to be reorganized reached 1.2 million.
Even if the battle damage is replenished and unqualified soldiers are eliminated, there are still one million troops waiting to be reorganized. Including the four South Asian armies that have not yet been formally established, the total is 2 million troops.
It's just too scary.
Not to mention sweeping the Arab Empire, it is also possible to go to the European continent.
The only ally of the Arab Empire is the Caesar Dynasty.
The problem is, it's too late for Caesar to hide now, so how could he show up at this time and make fun of himself.
If the Arab Empire really didn't want to surrender, Ouyang Shuo would naturally not hesitate to wave the butcher's knife and send the two million troops to the Arab battlefield.
It happens to be able to consume some of it.
One million Persian troops and one million Tianzhu troops, if they are not handled well, they will be a huge hidden danger.
There was also a reason why Ouyang Shuo was anxious to take down the Arab Empire.
For Bactria, the strategic significance of taking down the Arab Empire is greater than the practical significance. After taking down the Arab Empire, except for the Siberia region of the Romanov Dynasty, the whole of Asia belongs to Bactria.
That's not ordinary, it's exciting to think about it.
In addition, if you win the Arab Empire, the African Protectorate will be able to connect with the empire's Asian territory.
The continents of Asia and Africa will become one.
It will be very easy to open up a Silk Road in the future.
In addition, the integration of Asia and Africa is very beneficial for the empire to strengthen its jurisdiction over Africa, strengthen its influence on the Mediterranean, and strengthen its penetration into the European continent.
Therefore, it is imperative to win the Arab Empire.
…
April 25th, Beijing Normal University.
The imperial court's disposal plan for the Persian Empire was released as quickly as possible.
First, the King of Persia himself was invited to serve in the capital. To this end, the imperial court established a brand-new institution—the Religious and Ethnic Affairs Committee, which, like the Department of Martial Arts and other institutions, was directly under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor.
As the name suggests, the Council is mainly responsible for dealing with religious and ethnic affairs of the empire.
Great Xia is a multi-ethnic empire, the interior is intricate, and there are various religions, all of which need to be handled carefully and operated carefully.
If one is not good, something big may happen.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand the weight of the committee in the court.
The former king of Persia was the first head of the committee.
At the same time, the imperial court ordered the establishment of the Protectorate of the Upper West Asia to govern all the territories of the original Persian Empire.
According to Ouyang Shuo's plan, in addition to the Persian Empire, the territory of the future Arab Empire will also be brought under the jurisdiction of the Western Capital Protectorate.
That is to say, the Western Asia Metropolitan Protectorate covers the two major plates of West Asia and Central Asia.
Central Asia means in Asia. The problem is that the center of Great Xia is in Huaxia. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo will not set up a Central Asia Protectorate alone.
Weakening the existence of Central Asia is a matter of course.
After merging Central Asia and West Asia, the status of the West Asia Protectorate is very important. It is a hub connecting Asia, Europe and Africa. Its strategic value is at least among the top three.
When the Siege Lion is promoted to this position, he can immediately compete with overseas giants such as Baihua and Mulanyue.
The imperial court decreed that the Xijiang Governor's Mansion was revoked, and the former Xijiang Governor Xiongba was reassigned to the Northern Governor. It can be regarded as taking over the siege lion's class and guarding the northern border for the empire.
With the surrender of the Persian Empire, the Protectorate of Western Xinjiang is no longer the frontier of the empire. Coupled with the governance of the three provinces of Western Xinjiang by the Empire in the past two years, the situation in Western Xinjiang has stabilized.
Moreover, with the improvement of the railway network and road network, the transportation within the empire has become more convenient, and the imperial court's control over the local area has been significantly strengthened, and it can also be managed.
In view of this, Ouyang Shuo believes that it is more appropriate to take this opportunity to revoke the Xijiang Protectorate, and place the Xijiang Province, Xihai Province and Xikang Province under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Expanding the area directly under the central government is also a check and balance on the frontier protected areas.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to set up too many protected areas because he wanted to prevent a frontier force from developing in the future to compete with the court, especially when Ouyang Shuo was unable to preside over the government.
It is imminent to strengthen the centralized power of the imperial emperor and establish the authority of the court.
At an appropriate time in the future, the Northern Border Protectorate will also be abolished.
Most of the officials in the Western Xinjiang Protectorate will be transferred to the newly established West Asia Protectorate, such as Changshi Fubi, who will still serve as the long history of the West Asia Protectorate, which is conducive to a smooth transition.
With this team, the Protectorate of the Upper West Asia can also be put into operation quickly, and it will play a role in stabilizing the empire's rule in Persia.
Of course, in order to appease the old Persian forces, the Protectorate will also arrange for some native Persian officials to take office.
According to the plan, the West Asian Capital Protectorate is going to set up four provinces, two of which are the most important, one is the Persian province and the other is the Central Asian province, both of which are the center of the original Persian Empire.
Su Wei, the former governor of Hedong, was transferred to the governor of Persia; Song Wen, the former governor of northern Sichuan, was transferred to the governor of Central Asia. The remaining two governors were selected from the old ministers of the Persian Empire.
This is the same as the arrangement of the South Asia Protectorate District. Ouyang Shuo only arranges trustworthy ministers to guard the core provinces, while the border provinces are handed over to local officials.
It can be foreseen that the handling of the old Persian ministers will be a very complicated task. The second assistant of the cabinet, Brigadier General Kou, will go to West Asia to sit in town and stay for a month to assist the West Asia Protectorate to straighten out the personnel relationship.
In the future, the imperial court will also formulate an exchange mechanism for officials across the capital protection area.
The purpose of exchanges is to prevent officials from forming interest alliances due to their long-term employment in one place;
Only running water can rush forward.
