Chapter 1141 Rebuild the Southern Border Protectorate

Bai Qi didn't give Manila City a chance.

After the expeditionary army completed the siege, they did not rush to attack. Instead, they cut off the city's water source and used the Black Snake Guard spies to create wave after wave of panic in the city.

On the fifth day of the siege, the Luzon combat players were completely desperate and rushed out of the city desperately, just wanting to change their lives and ignite the last flame of life.

Even such a wish was strangled to death by Bai Qisheng.

The expeditionary army used trenches and camps as barriers, and through the cooperation of artillery, muskets, and archers, formed a dense long-range firepower network. Before the Luzon combat players rushed to the front, large areas fell.

Sporadic players break through numerous defenses, facing the ready expeditionary army, they only have the fate of being crushed.

The last fire burned by the combat players is very tragic, but not enthusiastic.

With the destruction of the combat players, surrender became the only option for the Luzon Imperial Army. After a few more days of struggle, with no ammunition and food available, on December 20, the remaining imperial guards finally left the city and surrendered.

The Battle of Luzon has really come to an end.

With the capture of Manila by the expeditionary force, the national war officially came to an end. The nearly 400,000 coalition forces trapped in Mindanao gave up their futile struggle and surrendered to the Hanoi army.

The Battle of Luzon ended with Daxia's complete victory.

In this battle, Da Xia mobilized more than one million troops, and it took more than 40 days. While taking down the target Luzon, they also captured Australia and caused heavy damage to Java.

The so-called Trinity quickly disintegrated in this battle and completely became a thing of the past.

Although the war is over, the aftermath is far from dissipated.

Perhaps for Daxia, the Battle of Luzon is just an established expansion plan and has no other meaning, but in the eyes of players around the world, Daxia's move is undoubtedly another powerful counterattack against TWP.

At least in Southeast Asia, Daxia already has the absolute upper hand.

If you look at the entire Asian battlefield, in addition to the potential internal enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Great Xia also faces the Maurya Dynasty in the southwest, the Persian Empire in the west, and the Romanov Dynasty in the north.

Including Java, which still has its roots, in the Asian battlefield, the Silver Hand still has cards to play.

And it's still a good hand.

The confrontation between the two sides has just begun, and it is still too early to talk about the outcome.

…………

December 22, Shanhai City.

After the war ended, the military was busy counting casualties, reorganizing prisoners of war, sweeping up remnants and other post-war matters. Ouyang Shuo didn't get involved because he had more important things to do.

Completing the jurisdictional planning of the occupied areas as soon as possible is undoubtedly the most critical step in restoring the post-war order.

According to the usual practice, Daxia will establish Luzon Province and Australia Province. As soon as the Australian province was established, it broke the record set by the Liaojin province and became the province with the largest territory in Daxia.

Purely in terms of area, the territory of Great Xia has more than doubled.

The next thing is the adjustment of personnel. This matter had already been planned before the war, so it was quickly settled. In the afternoon of that day, the imperial court announced the appointment and dismissal of a series of officials.

Gu Xiuwen was removed from the post of governor of Xingzhou and promoted to governor of Luzon.

Gu Xiuwen has always been the most dazzling star among the native NPC civil servants. Not only is he deeply trusted by Ouyang Shuo, but he has also experienced many key positions such as Beihai City Guard, Friendship City Guard, and Xingzhou County Guard. His political achievements are extraordinary.

This promotion to the governor of Luzon is the greatest compliment to Gu Xiuwen.

Lu Xiufu was dismissed from the post of Director General of Yamen, Governor of Hanoi Province, and promoted to Governor of Australia.

Lu Xiufu has made great contributions in assisting Hu Zongxian, the governor of Hanoi, and his own ability is also sufficient, so this promotion is also a matter of course. Nuoda is an Australian province, and it is not easy to manage it well.

The Australian province is not only the future mine and ranch of the dynasty, but also a sharp weapon to contain the Java State.

…………

Early the next morning, Da Xia released another big news.

The imperial court decided to re-establish the Southern Border Protectorate, with jurisdictions including Hanoi Province, Luzon Province, Australia Province, Siam (Subsidiary State), Xingzhou County and Auckland.

In short, Daxia's territories in Southeast Asia and Australia will all be included in the Southern Border Protectorate.

Compared with the previously established Northern Border Protectorate, the newly formed Southern Protectorate is stronger both in terms of strategic position and development potential.

In addition, the predecessor of the Daxia Dynasty was also called the Southern Border Protectorate, which has a deeper meaning.

Who will take up the post of Protector of Southern Xinjiang has become the focus of attention inside and outside the imperial court. Ouyang Shuo didn't play hide-and-seek. He announced the answer that morning. The Southern Border Protector he had designated was Bai Hua, the governor of Yunnan.

Among Mulanyue, Baihua, Siege Lion, and て砆, Baihua is the best in terms of personal ability and charisma.

This time, Bai Hua took up the post of Southern Border Protector, which was Ouyang Shuo's biggest reward for Bai Hua.

The moment the news of the appointment came out, Bai Hua was not very surprised, but her elder brother Ming Yuezhao Dajiang looked ashamed and said embarrassingly: "It seems that I really misunderstood him before."

With the power of the Southern Border Protectorate, he was on par with Di Chen, and even surpassed Feng Prison Huang in one fell swoop, making Bai Hua one of the most powerful people in Huaxia District.

Such kindness, how can there be suspicion? !

The administrative office of the Southern Border Protectorate, Daxia was neither located in Hanoi City in Hanoi Province, nor in Manila City in Luzon Province, nor in Australia Province, but unexpectedly chose Xingzhou County lion city.

The Lion City not only guards the choke point of the Strait of Malacca, but is also the center of Southeast Asia. Establishing the Protectorate's Mansion here undoubtedly shows Daxia's determination and will to Dingding Southeast Asia.

In this way, the Pyu Kingdom and the Johor Kingdom, which are sandwiched between Daxia and the Silver Hand, are even more on pins and needles. The two places are only in the second-level sequence in Southeast Asia, and the combined players of the two countries are not as good as Luzon.

The signal from Ouyang Shuo was already obvious.

If Pyu and Johor don't want to follow in the footsteps of Luzon, they'd better be as sensible as the previous Siam kingdom, take the initiative to surrender to Daxia, and still seek stability.

When Daxia really calls, things will not be so easy to handle.

Now we will see what choice the two countries will make.

At the same time as the establishment of the Southern Border Protectorate, the post of governor of Yunnan that Bai Hua vacated was taken over by Cao Can, governor of Kunming County, which can be regarded as a smooth transition.

Cao Shen, Bai Hua's most important assistant, finally made his way and was promoted to the ranks of officials in the feudal border.

With the promotion of Gu Xiuwen, Lu Xiufu, and Cao Shen to the governorship, plus the counties under the Luzon Province and the Australia Province, there will naturally be a new round of personnel changes.

I won't go into details about this matter, Daxia has its own effective system, and Ouyang Shuo has no time to pay attention to this matter for the time being, because the envoys from the Eight Dynasties have already arrived in Shanhai City one after another.
