Chapter 888 The Kingdom in Exile

The Somali Corps was reorganized, and there were 26,000 soldiers left, which was only enough to form two divisions. For the Great Xia Dynasty, this is undoubtedly tasteless.

Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo had already made plans, and said to Du Ruhui, "The remaining 26,000 soldiers will be quietly handed over to the city of Atlantis, as a thank you to them."

This time Morocco fought against Kalia, he helped a lot. Coupled with the previous series of incidents, Ouyang Shuo owed Kalia a favor. He had said long ago that he would give the city of Atlantis a big gift.

The 26,000 soldiers were only a part of the big gift package. In addition, Ouyang Shuo planned to select 50,000 people from the Moroccan royal city to emigrate to the city of Atlantis.

In the future, the province of Morocco will also shoulder the important task of transporting food, vegetables, meat and other living materials to the city of Atlantis, and become the strong backing of the city of Atlantis.

The assistance of the Great Xia Dynasty to the city of Atlantis will be comprehensive.

These grants are nothing to the Great Xia Dynasty, but to the city of Atlantis in the sea, they are extremely precious, and they are exactly what they are in desperate need of.

Du Ruhui didn't object. With such a loving and righteous lord, what else could he say as a subject.

…………

After finalizing the reorganization plan, the dynasty's new round of army reorganization officially kicked off.

At the same time, the cabinet's work on the aftermath of the Moroccan province is coming to an end. Ouyang Shuo was convinced, so he simply changed his route from Friendship City and came to Rabat City again.

Before the Somali Corps arrived in Friendship City, the defense of Friendship City was temporarily guarded by Shi Hu and his troops.

In the city of Rabat, the provincial governor's yamen has been rebuilt, and Mulanyue, the first female governor of the dynasty, and also the first governor, officially took office.

With the assistance of the cabinet, the governor's office has also been established and officially opened for office. The first tricky thing was to deal with the IOUs that Ouyang Shuo had made before.

Therefore, Mulan Yue's first words when she saw Ouyang Shuo were: "Brother Wang Shang, you have hurt me!"

Ouyang Shuo avoided answering, and said to Kou Zhun who was watching the excitement, "Old Kou, let me introduce the progress of the cabinet's handling of the aftermath of the Moroccan province."

Kou Zhun bowed his hands and began to report formally.

This time, the cabinet has transferred 200 officials at all levels from the imperial court and the four major provinces to form the provincial governor's office, the four major county guards' offices, and the subordinate prefectural and county offices.

In addition, the cabinet also conducted a one-by-one investigation of the original officials in Morocco. With the cooperation of the Black Snake Guards, those who were obviously hostile to the dynasty were eliminated, and the remaining officials were basically retained.

It's just that in terms of job arrangement, re-appointment and dismissal need to be assessed by the Office of Civil Affairs.

The above actions are routine actions, which are the same as those used when taking down other provinces. The special feature of the Moroccan province lies in the collision of races and cultures.

The cabinet’s opinion is that on the basis of respecting the Arab culture as much as possible, we should gradually promote the Chinese civilization to take root in the province of Morocco, give full play to the inclusiveness of the Chinese civilization, and gradually absorb and transform the essence of Morocco’s original culture, so as to radiate new vitality.

Specific measures include taking advantage of the opportunity of promoting basic education in the province of Morocco, teaching Chinese and Arabic in parallel, and introducing hundreds of schools of thought into the province of Morocco.

Strive to complete the rotation training of local officials in the Southwest University Hall within one year, accept the influence of the dynasty system and culture, and integrate with the dynasty.

At the same time, in some special villages and towns with strong Arab culture, the governor's office allowed the local people to follow the example of the mountain barbarians and establish autonomous towns and villages to achieve limited regional autonomy.

Especially for the eastern and southern mountainous areas of the Moroccan province, where the population is thin and the environment is harsh, and small settlements are scattered in the vast mountainous areas, regional autonomy will be the main form of local governance.

In addition, there are many detailed rules and plans, so I won't go into details one by one.

The premise of the above measures is that the people in the territory have a stable heart, otherwise it will be difficult to implement them.

For this reason, the governor's yamen decided to reduce or exempt the agricultural tax for one year and halve the commercial tax within one year on the basis of implementing the basic welfare system of the dynasty in the whole province to show the mighty grace of the emperor.

The civilians and soldiers who died in the war, and their relatives will also receive compensation and pensions.

In addition to the establishment of government offices at all levels, another important task of the cabinet this time is to assist the governor of the Moroccan province and lead the formulation of the overall development plan for the province of Morocco.

This plan involves administrative zoning, industrial support plan, infrastructure construction plan, port and other large-scale project planning, livelihood project planning, and cultural integration construction.

With the current talent pool of the dynasty, it is already capable of formulating such a detailed and scientific development plan.

In the plan, the construction of Ceuta City that Ouyang Shuo had explained before was naturally included. In addition, the base city is also included in the jurisdiction of the province of Morocco.

In the next six months, the province of Morocco will build three military ports in the three port cities of Tangier, Rabat, and Agadir as the naval bases of the Atlantic Fleet.

In view of its commitment to the Mediterranean, the headquarters of the Atlantic Fleet will also be moved from Cardinal City to Agadir.

According to the plan, this is pension compensation and large-scale construction, and the burden on the governor's office is really heavy. To this end, the Governor's Yamen is ready to apply for an administrative loan of one million gold coins from the Four Seas Bank.

After listening to Kou Zhun and Mulan Yue's report, Ouyang Shuo was quite emotional.

After the founding of the dynasty and the founding of the country, a whole set of systems gradually took shape, and Ouyang Shuo really became more relaxed. This time, the resettlement of the Moroccan province was done properly without Ouyang Shuo worrying about it.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Zhuqing has worked hard, so we will implement it accordingly."

"Follow the king's order!"

Kou Zhun bowed and breathed a sigh of relief. This time, dealing with the aftermath of the Moroccan province was the first major task entrusted by the king since Kou Zhun took office as the second assistant to the cabinet.

In order to handle this matter well, Kou Zhun rarely slept for more than five hours recently, and traveled all over the four counties in the province of Morocco from morning till night.

Fortunately, the hard work finally paid off. The king's approval of the plan is the greatest affirmation of Kou Zhun.

…………

In the next few days, accompanied by Governor Mu Lanyue, Ouyang Shuo started a routine inspection of Morocco's provinces to appease the people, met officials from all over the country, and boosted morale.

Taking time off, Ouyang Shuo went to the barracks to meet the soldiers who were undergoing reorganization.

Today, Ouyang Shuo is no longer worried. If he does not personally participate in the reorganization of the army, there will be situations where "soldiers only know the generals in charge, but not the lord".

Because under the institutional arrangement of the Privy Council, whether it is the active army or the reorganized army, every month the army must conduct regular battles to educate the emperor and patriotism, so as to spread Ouyang Shuo's authority to the whole army.

At the same time, under the instruction of Ouyang Shuo, the Privy Council cooperated with the Military Aircraft Department to formulate a series of measures on how to limit the power of the generals and prevent the overflow of military power.

The future dynastic army will only become more standardized and professional.

…………

While Ouyang Shuo was inspecting the province of Morocco, Mohammed VI, the king of Morocco who fled in the chaos, finally got news. It's just that this news is really not a good thing for the Great Xia Dynasty.

On June 10, Mohammed VI and his party, under the escort of Ismail, the commander of the Imperial Guard, suddenly appeared in Algiers, the royal city of neighboring Algeria, after going through hardships and dangers.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Algerian royal family issued a public statement, stating that with immediate effect, members of the Moroccan royal family will be under Algerian asylum. Any assassination of Mohammed VI is a provocation to the Algerian royal family and will definitely be retaliated.

Between the words, the attitude is quite tough.

At the same time, Mohammed VI announced that, with the support of the Algerian royal family, he would formally establish a kingdom in exile in the royal city of Algiers in order to restore the country. In the declaration, Mohammed VI also called on the people of Morocco to take action against the rule of the Bactrian Dynasty.

In line with Mohammed VI's declaration of the founding of the country, the Algerian royal family immediately allocated a large area of ​​land to Mohammed VI in the core area of ​​the royal city for the construction of the center of the kingdom in exile.

On this land, the Moroccan royal family in exile has absolute autonomy and autonomy, and its nature is similar to the concession or consulate in reality.

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in the Mediterranean and the African continent.

Some lords on the African continent had already prepared gifts and planned to send envoys to Morocco to test the attitude of the Great Xia Dynasty towards the African continent. According to news, some lords have temporarily canceled their trips.

Even some envoys that were already on their way were urgently recalled by the lord.

Mohammed VI's declaration of the founding of the country suddenly changed the situation in Morocco, which was already a foregone conclusion, adding many variables out of thin air. Therefore, the "smart" lord naturally chose to wait and see.

The ongoing negotiations between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Mediterranean lords also had twists and turns due to this incident. Violet came to report that the negotiation process suddenly became difficult.

Speaking of this, I have to introduce the country of Algeria.

Algeria is a country in the Maghreb in northern Africa. Its land area ranks first among African countries, Mediterranean countries and Arab countries. It ranks tenth in the world and has a total population of 3.5 million.

Geographically, Algeria borders on the Mediterranean Sea in the north, Libya and India in the east, Niger, Mali and Mauritania in the southeast and south, and Morocco in the west.

In reality, the economic scale of Algeria ranks fourth in Africa, second only to South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt. Oil and natural gas are the pillars of Afghanistan's national economy, with natural gas reserves ranking fifth in the world and oil reserves ranking fourteenth in the world.

Therefore, whether it is on the African continent or in the Mediterranean, Algeria can be regarded as a pivotal country, playing an important role between the Mediterranean and Africa.

That's why the Algerian royal family came forward to protect Muhammad VI. In the eyes of the lords of the Mediterranean and the African continent, the Bactria Dynasty could do nothing about it.
