Chapter 434: Establishing the Kingdom of Qin (1)

Zhang Wei was very pleased to occupy large territories in West and South Asia in succession, especially the occupation of the Persian Gulf coast, which was now the legitimate territory of the empire, which would be the center of wealth of the empire and must be completely controlled in his hands.

On August 20, 1910, Zhang Wei arrived in Kuwait City by plane.

Governor Qian Xiangyang led several military commanders to the air base to greet Zhang Wei's arrival; Du Shihui, the governor of the North African Special Administrative Region, also traveled from Djibouti to meet Zhang Wei.

Kuwait's military ports and air bases are together, both on the southern shore of Kuwait Bay.

In the conference room of the base, everyone gathered together.

Zhang Wei also has 1.8 million systematic civilians in his hands, and plans to deploy 600,000 people in the South Asian theater, 1 million people in the West Asia theater, and 100,000 people in the North African and East African Special Regions.

Zhang Wei first told you his idea so that everyone could rest assured and promised that the civilian population in various places would gradually increase in the future.

Qian Xiangyang was very supportive of Zhang Wei's decision, but with so many people, it was very troublesome to deal with government affairs, and he was unwilling to deal with those troublesome things, so he suggested: "Your Majesty, with these 1 million people, plus more than 200,000 troops, and the families of the army, the population is close to 2 million, in order to facilitate the management of whether to establish a kingdom, and to reduce the fear of white Europeans against us, so that they can engage in infighting." “

Zhang Wei pondered for a moment, this method is good, the establishment of a kingdom, the Europeans will be more relieved, so he said: "Haha, your suggestion is good, so that this region will belong to us Chinese forever; However, I do not recommend that the families of the military be relocated too much, only the wives and children are allowed to be relocated, and as for the families of the wives, they can be arranged in the Vietnam or the South Asian theater, and all the unmarried officers and soldiers will marry the women of the system in the future. “

For Zhang Wei's decision, all unmarried officers and soldiers marry system women, he is completely supportive, and several other army commanders are also very satisfied, especially the 40th Army, all officers and soldiers are now single, Your Majesty This is equivalent to solving their marriage problems at one time, and marrying system women, children will be better, this is exactly what they can't ask for, how can they not be willing?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!" Everyone hurriedly thanked Zhang Wei.

Qian Xiangyang asked again: "Your Majesty, what is the name of the country?" He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and establish the establishment of the kingdom.

"This territory is very important to the empire, it will not be divided here in the future, it will be used as the permanent territory of the empire, I think it will be called the Qin Kingdom."

"Your Majesty, isn't this the territory of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qin?" Qian Xiangyang didn't understand what Zhang Wei meant.

"The crown prince King Qin will be the emperor of the empire in the future, and it is the king of Qin, which is the empire." Zhang Wei said categorically.

Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty is wise, divide this barren land to the prince, and it will not cause dissatisfaction among others when you canonize the territory in the future." “

Du Shihui said: "Your Majesty, canonizing the barren land to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not conducive to establishing the prestige of the Prince, and it will be detrimental to his growth." Also, whether the name of Qin is a bit domineering, not only will it not dispel the doubts of the European countries, but they will even be more wary of the empire. “

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "The old Qin has become history, and it's just a name, for example, if you change your name to Attila, will you really become the "whip of God", will the European countries be afraid of you because of this?" To build a kingdom in this barren land, where even food is not self-sufficient, who would be afraid of such a weak kingdom? They generally regard this as a buffer between the empire and Europe, and they will not be afraid. “

Du Shihui smiled embarrassedly: "Haha, Your Majesty, it's me who is in love." ”

Qian Xiangyang just wanted to settle things as soon as possible now, so he still asked according to his train of thought: "Your Majesty, who will be the prime minister of the Government Council?" ”

Zhang Wei is now reluctant to continue to synthesize elite-level government personnel, otherwise it will be difficult to arrange in the future, so he carefully checked the existing personnel in his mind, and finally said: "I think it is still the Minister of Commerce and Finance of Lu Guo Da Shan as the premier of the Government Council, after the establishment of the Qin State, it is still mainly based on trade with Europe, he is an elite-level business personnel, just give full play to his strengths, besides, the population here is small, the construction task is small, he is fully competent." ”

Zhang Liang suggested: "Your Majesty, it is not bad for Pangshan to serve as the premier of the Government Council, but he is not good at government affairs after all, I suggest that a special government officer with management experience should be assigned to him as his deputy, so that it can also complement each other and be beneficial to the work." ”

Zhang Wei felt that this method was good, if he transferred people from the Imperial Government Council, it would be too troublesome to deal with personnel, and it was not as simple as transferring the governor from other provinces, which was equivalent to promoting him to an official position, and after weighing, it was decided to transfer Zhao Xiaolong, the governor of Taiwan Province, to Qin Guo as the vice premier of the Government Council, specifically to assist Pangshan in dealing with government affairs, so he said: "Just transfer Zhao Xiaolong, the governor of Taiwan Province, he has served as the governor of Taiwan for several years, and his work has been good, and he is fully competent to serve as the vice premier of the State Council of Qin." “

Qian Xiangyang has no opinion on who to appoint, and he will implement the separation of military and government in the future, and he is not willing to take care of administrative troubles, as long as someone comes, so he immediately echoed: "Your Majesty has considered it too thoroughly. “

"Okay, you immediately send a telegram to Prime Minister Zheng Daoyou of the Imperial Government, asking him to give orders to Pangshan and Zhao Xiaolong, let the two of them take an emergency plane to Kuwait, and ask Premier Zheng Daoyou to send someone to fill the vacant seats left by Pangshan and Zhao Xiaolong after they are transferred." Zhang Wei ordered: "By the way, urge Zheng Daoyou to send the railway planners in the West Asia Theater as soon as possible, and the indigenous free labor force will also be transported to 200,000 people as soon as possible, and the major construction will be carried out soon."

This is equivalent to confirming the establishment of the Qin Kingdom, so Qian Xiangyang said very happily: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will send a telegram." “

Zhang Liang asked again: "Your Majesty, where is the capital established?" ”

"It's in Kuwait, it's a lot more convenient."

Du Shihui suggested: "Your Majesty, let's change the name of Kuwait, this name is not commensurate with the capital of the Qin Kingdom. “

Zhang Wei decided: "Haha, it's okay, the empire now has Shangjing and Zhongjing, then this place will be called Xijing in the future." “

Everyone feels good about the name.

"Then Your Majesty, do you want to build the Qin Wangfu and the Government Affairs Yuan Office Building separately?" Zhang Liang asked.

Zhang Wei thought carefully for a while and said: "Repair the original palace in Kuwait, and when you have the opportunity to rectify it, it will be used as the palace of the Qin Dynasty in the future; The original British Governor's Palace was used as the General Staff building; As for the government council and all government departments, it was located in the port of Jeddah, which was convenient for foreign trade, and foreigners were not allowed in other parts of the Qin state except for the ports of Chittagong and Aden. ”

"Wouldn't that be inconvenient?" Zhang Liang asked.

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "You are the separation of military and government, what is inconvenient." Besides, the West Asia Theater is located in a special area, and if all departments and personnel are concentrated together to build a metropolis, only the supply of fresh water is a big problem, and it is better to disperse it, and it is easy to keep the inland secret, which is convenient for your army to defend. ”

Zhang Liang thought about it, and the military and government did not interfere with each other.

Du Shihui very much agrees with this arrangement, which is very beneficial to his North African Special Economic Zone.
