Lu Yuanshan, the acting governor of Nanyang, greeted the officials who had just arrived in Nanyang in Danmasixicheng.
The real Governor of Nanyang has arrived in Nanyang, and he, the acting Governor of Nanyang, can finally relieve himself of the heavy burden.
Lu Yuanshan was very happy when he got the news.
He is better at handling military work, not local governance work.
The Nanyang region had been in a war stage before, and Lu Yuanshan handled various tasks with ease.
The military has wiped out all the indigenous tribes who dared to resist in the core areas of the Nanyang region.
Most of the remaining indigenous tribes surrendered to the Dahua Dynasty, and a very small number fled into the mountains and forests.
The war in Nanyang is over, and the current governor of Nanyang needs to handle more government affairs.
Lu Yuanshan didn't understand many things, so he could only put these things aside and leave them to the governor sent by the imperial court to handle them.
When Wu Hongyi got off the huge passenger ship, he felt a wave of heat coming over him.
The temperature outside Danmaxi is so much higher than the temperature in the cabin.
Wu Hongyi previously believed that the temperature in Guangdong was already very hot.
Only when he came to Nanyang did he understand what kind of temperature is considered extremely hot.
The victory report of the Southern Expedition Fleet arrived at Qiongzhou Prefecture.
Wu Hongyi, who had just been appointed Governor of Nanyang by His Majesty the Emperor.
He led the officials of the Nanyang Governor's Mansion sent by the imperial court.
Set off by boat to Danmaxi City, the capital of Nanyang.
Only when Wu Hongyi stepped onto solid ground did he feel completely relieved.
He was riding wind and waves all the way, and he was really afraid that a wave would capsize the boat and die before he could escape.
Lu Yuanshan personally led the team to the dock to greet Wu Hongyi and other officials.
When he saw people like Wu Hongyi arriving, he suddenly felt much more relaxed all over.
During this time, he not only had to deal with various affairs of the First Fleet and the Third Fleet.
Assist Commander Lu Xiaoqiu to deal with various problems encountered by the Ninth Army in conquering the Nanyang region.
It took up a lot of energy for him to deal with these complicated matters in the military.
During this time, we have to deal with more complicated government affairs.
There were many staff officers in the army to assist him in his work, but they lacked experience in handling government affairs and did not handle many things well.
Lu Yuanshan can only sleep for three or four hours a day. If he does this for a long time, he simply cannot bear it.
Lu Yuanshan and Wu Hongyi informed each other of their identities at the dock and verified their identities.
After they chatted for a while, they stood under the scorching sun, each person's forehead covered with sweat.
Lu Yuanshan welcomed Wu Hongyi and other key officials of the Nanyang Governor's Mansion to the Nanyang Governor's Mansion.
When Wu Hongyi entered the Governor's Mansion, he felt a chill all over his body.
The scorching heat here in Nanyang is gone.
He saw that there were many heating devices in the Governor's Palace, and there was a hint of coolness on these thin iron sheets.
There are many water droplets condensed on the thin iron sheet, which are constantly dripping under the iron sheet.
Wu Hongyi said in surprise: "Governor Lu, heating has just been implemented in the northern region, and you are doing the opposite.
The radiator does not contain hot water, but cold water.
It’s so hot in Nanyang, so it’s not easy to get cold water.”
Lu Yuanshan could hear Wu Hongyi's subtext.
What he meant was clearly that Lu Yuanshan was using official funds to enjoy himself.
The imperial censor was very strict about this kind of thing, and many officials were dismissed because of their enjoyment.
Officials who want to continue to climb the ladder are extremely cautious in everything they do.
Lu Yuanshan immediately explained: "The temperature at noon here in Nanyang is often over 40 degrees.
Under this high temperature, I was sweating profusely even if I stayed at home.
Under such high temperatures, people with poor health can easily die from the heat.
Our soldiers have been training for a long time and the situation is relatively good.
You literati simply cannot bear such scorching temperatures.
It's already very difficult to live in this kind of temperature.
Working in a room makes it impossible to do anything.
We use precious saltpeter to create cold water and maintain the low temperature in the house through the principle of heating.
This way we can barely work indoors.
Without this kind of air-conditioning, I let the officials work normally and follow the schedule of the Central Plains area.
In just ten days, forty-two officials died of heat in their rooms.
This kind of problem must be solved, otherwise the Nanyang Governor's Palace will not be able to operate normally.
I can only build these air-conditioning circulation equipment and adjust the government's work and rest time.
Try to work in the morning and evening when it’s slightly cooler.”
When Wu Hongyi and others heard what Lu Yuanshan said, they were all excited.
Before, they just thought that Nanyang and Qiongzhou Prefecture were similar.
I didn't expect the environment here to be so cruel.
Not to mention that they already knew that there are many diseases in tropical areas, and if you are not careful, you will get sick and die.
Unexpectedly, the weather here can be extremely hot.
Wu Hongyi took the initiative to come here to serve as the governor of Nanyang.
Most of the people who followed him were frustrated in the officialdom.
Most of them came to Nanyang not because they wanted to come, but because they had to come here.
Qiongzhou Prefecture in Guangzhou Province was formerly a place where officials were exiled.
But as the Dahua Dynasty occupied more places, Qiongzhou Prefecture was no longer a poor place compared with other places.
The Nanyang region is now the main place of exile for prisoners.
Before Wu Hongyi, he did not have a clear understanding of the horrors of the Nanyang region.
Now just in terms of climate, he realized how terrifying it was here in Nanyang.
Lu Yuanshan saw fear in his eyes when he saw Wu Hongyi and others.
He somewhat looked down upon these people. The death toll was insignificant compared to the battlefield.
Now there is air-conditioning, and no official has been killed by the heat since then. This is not scary at all.
In the Nanyang region, the most terrifying thing is the epidemic.
There are many unknown diseases here.
The Han people in the Central Plains have no resistance to the diseases here.
Many people appear to be very healthy, but suddenly die from illness.
The biggest cause of casualties in the military is not the casualties incurred in fighting the enemy.
It is non-combat attrition caused by disease.
Lu Yuanshan saw the attitude of these civil servants.
He did not tell anyone about the epidemic.
If he scares away these civil servants, he will be in big trouble.
Wu Hongyi quickly came to his senses and said directly: "Governor Lu, we have begun the official handover work."
They come, the security.
He had already chosen to be the governor of Nanyang, so there was no chance of regret.
As the governor of Nanyang, he has the best resources, which is better than the sinners exiled to Nanyang.
When Lu Yuanshan heard what Wu Hongyi said, he wished he had handed over his power long ago.
He immediately handed over to Wu Hongyi.
During the handover process between the two of them, Lu Yuanshan briefly told Wu Hongyi the current situation in the Nanyang area.
The Ninth Army has sent troops to occupy major cities in the Nanyang region and conquer all large-scale indigenous tribes with more than 10,000 people.
All the indigenous tribes in the plains have surrendered to them.
Some indigenous tribes who were unwilling to surrender fled deep into the mountains.
The Nanyang region was basically pacified.
The Nanyang Governor-General has confiscated Dutch and Portuguese assets in Nanyang.
The Nanyang Governor-General's Office also does not recognize the assets of the indigenous tribes.
Only the Nanyang Governor-General's Palace personally bestows assets on surrender to the indigenous tribes to gain their recognition.
The Nanyang Governor-General has established primary schools, hospitals and government offices in major cities in Nanyang.
Wu Hongyi looked at the information handed over by Lu Yuanshan.
His impression of Lu Yuanshan immediately changed a lot.
This guy is not a rough guy, he is very methodical in what he does.
Wu Hongyi saw that the Nanyang Governor's Palace had set up a relatively complete framework in the Nanyang region.
As long as he fills in some things on the framework, he can easily govern Nanyang.
Wu Hongyi gave a thumbs up and praised: "Governor Lu is really a great talent."
When Lu Yuanshan heard Wu Hongyi's praise, he smiled and said: "I am not a great talent. His Majesty guided me to do many things.
I will hand over the Nanyang Governor's Mansion to Governor Wu."
Lu Yuanshan looked relaxed and handed the seal of the Governor of Nanyang to Wu Hongyi.
Wu Hongyi took over the seal of the Nanyang Governor from Lu Yuanshan.
When he saw Governor Lu Yuanshan turning around to leave, he immediately stopped and said, "Governor Lu, I have one more thing to tell you."
Lu Yuanshan stopped and looked at Wu Hongyi curiously.
This civil servant has something that needs to be told to him.
Wu Hongyi said with a serious expression: "Governor Lu, I came into contact with many Spanish businessmen in Qiongzhou Prefecture.
They learned that the Dutch and Portuguese forces in Nanyang were wiped out by us.
These people reacted violently.
The systems of Western countries are different from ours. Businessmen from these Western countries can influence the policies of their own countries.
Near our power, Spain is the only power left.
Governor Lu, please pay more attention to Spain's movements, they may take advantage of our army's weakness to launch an attack on us."
Lu Yuanshan heard Wu Hongyi's suggestion.
He laughed and said: "Don't worry, Governor Wu, our military will definitely ensure the safety of the Nanyang area.
The Dutch and Spanish alone are not capable of severely damaging our Royal Navy.
The Royal Navy of Great China still maintains its peak combat power.
The Royal Navy's First Fleet and Third Fleet control the Strait of Malacca and send warships to keep an eye on Manila's movements.
There is also a second fleet responsible for keeping an eye on the Spanish fleet.
The military will also build coastal defense forts around important cities.
Governor Wu does not need to worry about the safety of the city.
If the Spaniards dare to come, our military can keep them forever."
Wu Hongyi heard Lu Yuanshan say decisively.
Only then did he feel completely reassured that Wu Hongyi was confident that he could make a career in the Nanyang region with his own abilities.
But if it is attacked by Western forces such as Spain, the Southeast Asia region will become a battlefield.
He has great abilities, but he can't use them.
Wu Hongyi's question was also to test the military's confidence.
Peaceful areas and war-torn areas have different governance methods.
After receiving the guarantee from the military, he was completely reassured that he could use this precious land of Nanyang to showcase his talents.
…………………………
Wu Hongyi led his officials and quickly became familiar with various affairs in the Nanyang region.
After he got to know the Nanyang region, he prepared to construct the Nanyang region.
Wu Hongyi found that many of his officials were just dawdling.
This situation did not surprise him at all.
Most of the officials in the Nanyang Governor's Mansion were demoted officials.
How could they still look so motivated?
Wu Hongyi immediately asked all officials to participate in a mobilization meeting.
He spoke passionately on the podium: "I know you are very depressed when you come to the Nanyang region.
Someone offended someone in the officialdom and was sent to Nanyang.
Some people made mistakes in officialdom and were demoted to Nanyang.
Do you want to live in ignorance all your life and eventually die here, unable to even return to your roots?
You don’t want to follow me to build a career, return to the Central Plains region, and severely blow the faces of those who look down on you.
Install the latest version.]
The Nanyang region is like a blank piece of paper that we can make changes to, and it will not be difficult to make something happen."
Wu Hongyi personally did ideological work for these officials.
He also joined Suhe's rebel team very early.
He was not born in the imperial examination, and when he entered the officialdom, the places he governed were very remote.
He needs to personally recruit officials and is very good at doing work for officials.
After Wu Hongyi's mobilization, many officials were inspired to fight.
But there were some officials who completely lost their fighting spirit, and Wu Hongyi chose to give up on these people.
He arranged all of these people into retirement positions with no real power.
The Nanyang Governor's Mansion began to operate.
With just the people under him, it would be difficult to effectively manage a place as big as Nanyang.
Wu Hongyi issued an announcement to recruit some local officials.
High-level officials in the Nanyang Governor's Mansion need to be appointed by the court.
Minor officials below the seventh rank only need to be reported to the Ministry of Personnel, and can be recruited and appointed by the Nanyang Governor's Mansion.
Wu Hongyi also had some experience in governing Nanyang.
The number of Han people today is too small. It is impossible to govern such a large Southeast Asia with the help of Han people alone.
Wu Hongyi allowed Han officials from the imperial court to enter government offices in various places and serve as chief officials, serving as the core of managing a place.
He also wanted to recruit Han Chinese and Sinicized indigenous people in the Nanyang area to join the government and let them assist the government in governing the place.
With this set of methods, the imperial court has summarized many techniques when it comes to managing chieftains from various places and carrying out the work of reforming and returning natives.
When Wu Hongyi governed the Nanyang region, he regarded this area as a large-scale land reform and return area.
He is very good at the work of reforming the native land and returning it to exile, which is also an important reason why Wu Hongyi took the initiative to sign up to come to Nanyang.
…………………………
In a small inland city on Java Island, the selection of officials has just concluded and the results are being released.
Many Han people who came here had relaxed expressions on their faces.
Many of the people they know well have obtained official positions after taking the exam.
If there are people in the court who are easy to do things, and if their relatives and friends become officials, they will no longer be bullied by others.
"Amatibu, Amatibu, you have graduated from high school, and you will be an official from now on."
Amatibu looked serious and said angrily to the young man behind him: "Please call me Hua Zhongyi."
When Hua Zhongyi said this sentence, he did not use the local dialect, but said it word for word in Chinese.
"Hua Zhongyi, you actually learned to speak Chinese, no wonder you can become an official.
It's amazing how you learned such a difficult language."
Hua Zhongyi thought of his hard study process during this period, with a proud expression on his face.
He spent a lot of money to learn the Dutch, but as soon as he learned it, the world immediately changed.
He also paid a lot of money to hire an injured sailor to teach him Chinese and speak Chinese characters.
He also gave himself a Chinese name, Hua Zhongyi.
As soon as I finished my studies, I met the Nanyang Governor-General's Mansion recruiting officials.
He immediately realized that this was his huge opportunity.
Hua Zhongyi's success set off huge waves among the indigenous people.
None of these natives thought that they could actually become officials.
This was a right that the Dutch had not given them before.
Many indigenous people no longer object to sending their children to primary school.
They actively moved closer to the Han people and prepared to seek official positions.
