Chapter 886 – Rogue Nation

After creating the Somalia Formation, 26 thousand surrendered soldiers remained, which was just enough to build two divisions. To the Great Xia Dynasty, this did not matter.

Luckily, Ouyang Shuo had plans and said, “Hand over the remaining 26 thousand to Atlantis.”

During the Battle of Morocco, Kalia had helped him a lot. Along with the series of things before, Ouyang Shuo owed her a lot. He had said before that he had wanted to send Atlantis a big gift.

The 26 thousand surrendered soldiers were just a part of the gift. Apart from that, Ouyang Shuo was going to choose 50 thousand people from Rabat to migrate over.

In the future, Morocco would send grain, vegetables, meat, and the like to Atlantis, becoming their strong shield.

The Great Xia Dynasty’s support for Atlantis City was all rounded.

It was not much to the dynasty, but it was something that Atlantis, which was in the middle of the ocean, sorely needed.

Du Ruhui did not object. With such a righteous and brotherly king, what more could he ask for?

...

After settling on the reorganization plan, the new round of military reorganization ended.

At the same time, the cabinets’ work on Morocco Province was coming to an end. After Ouyang Shuo received the letter, he teleported to Rabat.

Before the Somalia Formation arrived in Friendship City, Shihu would personally lead the defenses.

In Rabat City, the provincial office had been built. Mulan Yue, the first Provincial Governor of the dynasty, was officially appointed.

With the help of the Cabinet, the Provincial Governor Office was settled and work had begun. The first matter to deal with the IOUs handed out by Ouyang Shuo.

The first thing Mulan Yue said to him was, “King Brother, you have sabotaged me!”

Ouyang Shuo avoided it and did not answer. Instead, he looked at Kou Zhun, “Old Kou, introduce the progress of Morocco.”

Kou Zhun bowed and started to report.

The cabinet took 200 officials from the Imperial Court and the four provinces to build the Provincial Governor office, the four Governor Offices, as well as the county office below.

Apart from that, the Cabinet also conducted investigations on the current officials in Morocco. Along with the help of the Black Snake Guards, they removed those who had an obvious hate toward the dynasty.

In terms of appointments, the Official Ruling Department would decide.

The actions above were really normal and were the same as when they took down the other provinces. However, Morocco was special due to the racial and cultural differences.

The Cabinet wanted to respect the Arab culture while also pushing for Chinese civilization to take root. They wanted the culture of Morocco to absorb the essence of the new culture and gain renewed vitality.

The specific plans included pushing out basic education, including both Chinese and Arabic languages teachings at the same time.

They aimed to allow the local officials to study at Xinan University and accept the system and culture of the dynasty within a year.

At the same time, regarding some cities and towns with strong Arabic culture, the Provincial Governor Yamen allowed the people to follow the mountain barbarian method to build self-ruling towns and villages.

Especially in the east and south mountainous regions, where there was little population and terrible conditions. Small tribes gathered across the vast mountains, so self-rule was the main ruling method of those regions.

There were also many other small plans. However, they would not be described deeply here.

The prerequisite for the above plans were that the people’s sentiment was good. If not, they would not be released.

For this, the Provincial Governor Office, in terms of pushing out the dynasty welfare system, would not charge agricultural tax for a year and would reduce business taxes by half.

As for the civilians and soldiers harmed in the war, their relatives would obtain compensation.

Apart from building the various levels of offices, the Cabinet had another important mission, which was to help the Morocco Provincial Governor Yamen with its overall development.

This development included administrative zoning, industry support plans, basic facilities building, ports, large=scale project planning, public livelihood planning, and cultural assimilation.

With the talent pool of the dynasty today, it had the ability to make such detailed development plans.

In the plan, the Ceuta City planning that Ouyang Shuo discussed was naturally written in it. Apart from that, Jidian City was also zoned into the jurisdiction of Morocco Province.

In the future half a year, Morocco Province would build three military harbors in Tangier, Rabat, and Agadier to act as the navy bases of the Atlantic Squadron.

Due to the promise to the Mediterranean, the headquarters of the Atlantic Squadron was moved to Agadier from Jidian City.

Based on the plan, there would be compensation and large-scale construction involved. Overall, it was a huge burden on the Provincial Governor Office. For this, the Provincial Governor Office was ready to apply for a one million gold loan from the Four Seas Bank.

After listening to Kou Zhun and Mulan Yue’s report, Ouyang Shuo was in awe.

After establishing the country, a full system was slowly built up. Hence, the arrangement for Morocco Province was one that Ouyang Shuo did not need to worry about.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, “Thank you for your hard work; let’s stick to your plan.”

“Thank you my king!”

Kou Zhun bowed, heaving a sigh of relief. Planning for Morocco Province was Kou Zhun’s first important task since becoming the Cabinet Deputy.

To handle the matter well, Kou Zhun had spent many days sleeping less than five hours. He worked from morning till night, running around the four prefectures of Morocco.

Luckily, his hard work paid off, and the king’s approval of the proposal was the biggest recognition.

...

In the next few days, Ouyang Shuo started his tour of Morocco Province under the accompaniment of Mulan Yue to calm down the people and meet the local officials.

He also took the time to go to the barracks to see the surrendered soldiers.

Now, Ouyang Shuo no longer needed to worry about a situation where the soldiers only knew their commander but not their king if he did not personally participate in the military organization.

That was because under the Privy Court system, every army needed to undergo loyalty and patriotism education to spread Ouyang Shuo’s prestige to the entire army.

At the same time, the Privy Court worked together with the Grand Council, coming up with a series of plans to prevent the abuse of military power.

The future dynasty army would only become more professional.

...

Just as Ouyang Shuo was touring Morocco, there was news regarding Mohammed the 6th. However, this news was not good for the dynasty.

6th month, 10th day, Mohammed the 6th, under the protection of Guards commander Ismail, suddenly appeared in the imperial city Algiers in the neighboring country of Algeria.

That afternoon, Algeria openly announced that from this moment onward, the Moroccan imperial family would be under their protection. Anyone who tried to assassinate Mohammed the 6th would be provoking the Algeria Dynasty.

There was a strong attitude within these words.

At the same time, Mohammed the 6th announced that Algeria would build a rogue nation. In the announcement, Mohammed the 6th told the Moroccan people to act and revolt.

Along with the country establishment announcement of Mohammed the 6th, the Algeria imperial family instantly gave a huge piece of land in the core region of the imperial city to Mohammed the 6th. He could use this land to build the central pillar of the rogue nation.

On this land, the Moroccan rogue nation would have autonomy and power. It was like an embassy in real life.

The moment the news went out, it caused a huge uproar in the Mediterranean and Africa.

The African Lords, who had prepared gifts to send to Morocco to test the attitude of the Great Xia King toward Africa, canceled their trips when they received the news.

Some of the envoys that were on their way were even recalled.

Mohammed the 6th country establishment proclamation had changed the playing field. Hence, many smart Lords decided to wait and see.

The discussions between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Mediterranean Lords were also affected because of this. Zi Luolan reported that discussions became difficult.

Speaking of which, one had to introduce Algeria.

Algeria was a country in the north of Africa. It had the biggest size in Africa, the Mediterranean, and Arab. It was 10th in the world with a 3.5 million population.

In terms of geography, its north was near the Mediterranean Ocean, its east neighbored Libya, its southeast and south regions were connected to Niger, Mali, and Mauritania, while its west was connected to Morocco.

In reality, Algeria’s economic scale was 4th in Africa, only behind South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria. Oil and natural gases were its pillars, and in terms of natural gas storage, it was 5th in the world and 14th for oil.

Hence, be it in Africa or in the Mediterranean Ocean, Algeria was a hugely important country.

Hence, when the Algeria King came out to protect Mohammed the 6th, the Mediterranean Lords and the African Lords knew that the Xia King could not do anything about it.
