Chapter 743: The Protectorate of the Heavenly Policy
"I think it's better to establish a new Protectorate, let's call it Tiance Protectorate. Back then, Chen Xuance captured Tianzhu with thirty-six cavalry. Today we captured Western Tianzhu again, so let him be completely integrated into China
Come to the big family."
"We will bring welfare, stability, and a new life to the people here. With the protection of the Renaissance Army, there will no longer be wars here."
Dong Shuheng finally made up his mind to take over the Indus River Basin.
Now Dong Shuheng will not increase the territory of the Fuxing Army himself at will, which means a huge management burden.
But this place is too important to the Western Region. Dong Shuheng must rely on this place if he wants to build the Western Region into the center of the West.
Only with this outlet to the sea can the Western Region be on an equal footing with the Eastern Region in the future, and the Renaissance Army's territory will no longer be unbalanced from east to west.
Instead, it developed towards both ends. This was very important for Dong Shuheng to build a country with integrated sea and land power.
Just like Tsarist Russia before, it was looking for outlets to the sea at both the east and west ends.
They also want to solve the problem of imbalanced development between east and west.
However, they failed to solve this problem, which resulted in the development of the Far East seriously lagging behind, which gave Dong Shuheng an opportunity at the time.
Let the Huai Navy take advantage of its geographical location to capture it.
Jiang Yuqin then asked: "The cabinet would like to seek your opinion on who should be assigned to be responsible for local governance.
The administrative district here must be separate. Although it will be part of the Western Region in terms of location, it must be managed separately, otherwise the Western Region Protectorate will be too huge.
Then it will be troublesome to separate things.
It is the current Western Region Protectorate, and Dong Shuheng is ready to split it up.
The Shannan region centered on Kashgar, the Shanbei region centered on Luntai, the Yinli River Basin centered on Yinli, including the entire area around the Yibo Sea, and the Central Asian economy dominated by the Fergana Basin.
Special Zone.
These four regions will be classified as independent administrative regions in the future.
Tiance Protectorate will be the fifth administrative region of the Western Region.
As the chief planner of the Renaissance Army, Dong Shuheng must consider these issues.
As for the issue of selecting the general secretary mentioned by Jiang Yuqin, Dong Shuheng has actually been considering it for a long time.
The cabinet had already given him several reference lists before.
"Let Du Hui go. What do you think?" Dong Shuheng asked Jiang Yuqin meaningfully.
Du Hui is the eldest brother among the Five Gentlemen.
Dong Shuheng asked Jiang Yuqin this question, which is called promoting virtuous people without avoiding relatives.
"President, Minister Du has been working in the Ministry of Water Resources from the beginning. He seems to lack experience in governing. Moreover, the population and religious situation in the Indus River region are complex. And we have no local population base." What Jiang Yuqin said is quite pertinent.
.
"What you said makes sense, but it is precisely because you have no local governance experience that you have to go down and experience it. There is no popular base there, and there was no popular base when the Chinese ruled there."
Dong Shuheng continued: "I chose Du Hui because he has an ability that no one else has. You should be able to think of it."
Jiang Yuqin suddenly realized: "The president means to build water conservancy there."
"Haha, smart. The entire Tiance Protectorate is a narrow strip of land along the Indus River. Everyone here depends on this river for their livelihood. But the people of the country have not bothered to manage this river."
"Then if we want to rule this place, we can start by regulating the river."
"Don't underestimate river management. The formation of our Chinese nation is actually closely linked to the management of the Yellow River. Why was it the son of Dayu who established the Xia Dynasty instead of the sons of Yao and Shun? Because Dayu successfully managed the Yellow River.
.”
"The control of the Yellow River at that time not only brought Dayu popularity, but also brought him a large amount of fertile arable land. He distributed this land to his cronies. Will these cronies support him even more?
This created conditions for his son to succeed to the throne."
Jiang Yuqin couldn't help but feel very novel when he heard Dong Shuheng's somewhat unconventional statement.
He had also read a lot of history books, but he didn't expect that Dayu's flood control could be interpreted in this way.
In fact, the living conditions of people in ancient times were cruel and could not be as ideal as we think in history books.
At that time, the struggle between people will only be more cruel than now.
"President, what you want is for Mr. Du to be in power in the past, use the management of the Indus River as an entry point, gradually control the local power, win over the local ordinary people, and the land obtained by regulating the river can also be used to resettle immigrants. In this way, there is no need to deal with the local
There was a direct conflict between the landowners." Jiang Yuqin said.
"That's right. However, our river management in the past was not just a show. We must really manage the river well. The river will still play a very important role for us in the future."
…
The current territory of the Renaissance Army has basically been determined. There are two channels from the mainland to the Indian Ocean. One is along the Nujiang River Basin and enters Maodan Mian. This is the outlet of the southwest region.
There is also the Indus River channel, which connects the Western Region and the Indian Ocean.
Plus the island of Ceylon, a maritime crossroads in the Indian Ocean controlled by the Baath Army.
The Chinese have basically lost the chance to make a comeback in the Indian Ocean.
For the Yin Army, this place is still overseas. For the Fuxing Army, this place has become an offshore area.
The time is right, the place is right, and the people are on the side of the Fuxing Army, so what else can the Yin Army use to fight?
In Cape Town Colony, Zhang Yong finally learned the news of the victory of the Renaissance Army from the Portuguese.
He cried with joy, his mission was considered a success.
This time the Portuguese came and brought him 100,000 pounds in activity funds.
This is a huge sum of money for Zhang Yong.
Shangfeng also appointed him as the station commander of the South Africa station and gave him the rank of major.
This military rank was of little use to Zhang Yong who was in the enemy camp, and he couldn't wear the uniform of the Renaissance Army to show off.
However, his family in China can enjoy the benefits of the major's family members.
This made Zhang Yong feel that everything he had done was in vain.
In recent times, the situation in Cape Town has become increasingly tense.
The number of troops stationed in the military camps outside the city has obviously increased.
A batch of new iron-clad ships were also stationed in the port. Zhang Yong saw that there were eight iron-clad ships in total.
However, there are no battleships as the Chinese call them. There are only four cruisers.
Zhang Yong had not heard that these warships were going to support the subcontinent.
News in the city says that this new fleet is used to protect Cape Town.
The people of Yu no longer dare to conduct large-scale expeditions.
Zhang Yong didn't know how many warships the country still had.
But thinking about it, there is not much left. Maybe the new fleet in the port was pieced together by them from various places!
"Hello, Chief Zhang, I finally found you. Chief Simon has something to ask you." At this time, one of his subordinates found him.
As usual, Zhang Yong was patrolling the port area.
This is the most chaotic place in Cape Town, so maintaining law and order here is also the hardest job.
Naturally, such a difficult place must be left to the Chinese police.
Zhang Yong is now the chief of police in charge of Chinese police.
There are more than one hundred people under his command.
They wear light gray uniforms and have semicircular pith hats on their heads.
Each police officer has a whistle hanging on his chest and a rifle on his back, which is the most original Enfield modified breech-loading gun.
Although this kind of gun has not been around for a long time, it has been basically eliminated in the regular army of the Yin Army.
Now the main equipment is used by the servant army.
The treatment of colonial policemen like them is basically the same as that of servant soldiers.
"The director came to see me, did he have anything to say?" Zhang Yong asked the minion.
"Boss, I don't know, it was an Indian police sergeant who came here to deliver the order." said the minion.
Zhang Yong really couldn't figure out what it was.
His first reaction was that his identity as a spy had been discovered.
But then he rejected this idea, because if the enemy found out that he was a spy, there was no need to beat around the bush to invite him.
With his current humble status, the other party could have simply sent people to arrest him, and there was no need to go to such unnecessary lengths.
Zhang Yong quickly rushed to the police station and came to the director's office.
He came as fast as he could, with a flattering smile on his sweaty face, which was in line with his current status.
After all, he is now a traitor leader and a licking dog of the Chinese people.
To be a dog licker, you have to act like a dog licker. Zhang Yong is also a flexible person, otherwise he would not have been selected by the intelligence agency in the first place.
Simon is a fat middle-aged man, his face is flushed, a sickly red color. This man is both greedy for money and lustful.
Zhang Yong usually showed no less filial piety to him.
Otherwise, Zhang Yong would not be able to serve as a Chinese police chief.
Before this, the Chinese police chief was also served by Ah San.
Compared with the Chinese, the Chinese in these colonies trusted Ah San more.
After all, they have been using Asan as a bastard for hundreds of years.
Regardless of whether it works or not, at least Ah San is loyal enough.
"Report!" Zhang Yong stopped at the open door and reported politely.
"Come in!" Simon said casually.
"Director, you are looking for me. I am patrolling the dock with my brothers. As soon as I heard your order, I came as quickly as possible." Zhang Yong said, wiping the big beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Well, Zhang, come and sit down." Simon pointed to a small mahogany stool in front of the desk and said.
Zhang Yong could feel that Simon's tone was particularly polite today, and his heart lifted slightly.
"Yes, Director."
After Zhang Yong sat down, Director Simon asked: "Zhang, do you miss your hometown? I heard that you Chinese miss your home very much."
"Director, this is my home now. I have been naturalized. Director, when I save enough money and get a wife here, this will be my home."
Zhang Yong heard it. Simon seemed to be testing himself. He must have something he wanted to do on his own.
"Well, I heard about this. You are the first Chinese to be naturalized in Cape Town. You have done a good job. The empire has always wanted to increase the population of the Cape Town colony. You can respond to the government's call. This is
Very good. I see your loyalty to the Great Empire."
Simon felt that the groundwork was almost complete, and continued: "I don't know if you are willing to do more for the empire. I think you are a very capable person and should not just be a Chinese police chief. Now there is a chance to give
You, I can let you be a real Korean, and you will get higher treatment, I wonder if you are willing?"
"Director, although I don't know what it is, I am willing to serve Her Majesty the Queen and do anything for the empire." Zhang Yong's acting skills were outstanding. At this time, he seemed to love Da Ying even more than the average Chinese.
Simon felt a little more contempt for Zhang Yong in his heart. But such a talent is what they need.
After suffering successive losses at the hands of the Renaissance Army's new weapons, the Chinese finally learned the lesson and decided to establish an intelligence network in China.
However, the homeland of the Renaissance Army is not open to foreigners. It will undoubtedly be difficult for them to send their own people to spy on intelligence.
That's why they thought of using Chinese spies.
But under the rule of Da Ying, it was very difficult to find Chinese.
Originally, the Chinese were quite repulsive to the Chinese. There used to be some international students, but those international students were strictly managed.
It is very difficult to select spies from these races.
They have also previously tried to install intelligence personnel among the researchers and technical workers recruited by the Renaissance Army from Europe.
But after these people entered the mainland of the Renaissance Army, they all disappeared.
Da Ying's intelligence agencies all doubted whether these people were imprisoned in black factories by the Renaissance Army.
The Renaissance Army has very strict management of these naturalized researchers and technical workers.
Moreover, their family members will basically be moved to the rule of the Fuxing Army.
The Renaissance Army usually builds special communities for them close to the research institute. The long-distance travel of these people is also strictly restricted.
In the vast territory of the Fuxing Army's homeland, it would be extremely difficult for these people to deliver some news.
The latest failure has Temple taking out his anger on the intelligence community.
Set a date and let them find out the secret weapon used by the Renaissance Army to deal with them this time.
The information given by the navy was limited, except that it was supposed to be a submarine capable of launching torpedoes underwater.
As for what this kind of submarine looks like? What is its displacement and its speed?
How to travel underwater?
Even the naval officers who have witnessed the frontline battles are unaware of these issues.
The intelligence department is now in a hurry. The director of Section 6 may not only lose his position this time, but may also be brought to court-martial.
The best way now is to find reliable Chinese to serve as spies, and then find a way to send them to the homeland of the Renaissance Army.
And these local intelligence officers in Great Britain somehow knew that there was a group of Chinese policemen in the Cape Colony.
These people betrayed their motherland a long time ago. They are as loyal to the Great Empire as those Ah San.
So the intelligence department specially asked the Cape Town sub-station to find important people from the police station.
Those big shots, Police Chief Simon, can't be offended.
He must complete the tasks assigned by the other party.
He himself had no interaction with the Chinese police officers, so he could only leave this matter to Zhang Yong.
That’s why I specifically talked to Zhang Yong.
And Zhang Yong did not disappoint him. Although Simon could see that the other party had concerns, he still agreed.
Simon also knew that Zhang Yong and the others were traitors, and it would be very dangerous for them to go back.
So he wanted to draw a pie big enough for Zhang Yong!
