Chapter 1139: Rebuilding the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate

Bai Qi didn't give Manila City a chance.

After the expeditionary force completed the siege, they did not rush to attack, but by cutting off the water source of the city, and then using the Black Snake Guard's secret agents, they created waves of panic in the city.

On the fifth day of the siege, the Luzon battle players were completely desperate and rushed out of the city, hoping only to exchange their lives for lives and ignite the last flame of their lives.

is such a wish, and it was also strangled to death by Bai Qisheng.

The expeditionary force used trenches and camps as barriers, and through the cooperation of artillery, muskets and archers, formed a dense network of long-range firepower, and the Luzon battle players had already fallen in large areas before they rushed to the front of the battle.

Sporadic players break through the defenses and face the expeditionary force that is ready to be crushed.

The last fire burned by the combat players is tragic, but by no means enthusiastic.

With the fall of the battle player, surrender became the only option for the Luzon Forbidden Army. After several days of struggle, with all the ammunition and food running out, on December 20, the remnants of the Wangcheng forbidden army finally left the city and surrendered.

The Battle of Luzon really came to an end.

With the capture of Manila by the expeditionary force, the war officially ended, and the nearly 400,000 allied troops trapped in Mindanao gave up their futile struggle and surrendered to the Hanoi army.

The Battle of Luzon ended with a complete victory in Bactria .

In this battle, more than one million troops were mobilized before and after Great Xia, which took more than 40 days, and while taking the target Luzon, they also captured the Australian zone, and at the same time inflicted heavy losses on the state of Java.

The so-called Trinity quickly disintegrated in this battle and became a thing of the past.

Although the war is over, the aftermath is far from dissipating.

Perhaps for Great Xia, the Battle of Luzon is just an established expansion plan and has no other meaning, but in the eyes of global players, Great Xia's move is undoubtedly another powerful riposte to TP.

At least in Southeast Asia, Bactria has the absolute upper hand.

If you look at the entire Asian battlefield, in addition to the potential enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty within Great Xia, you will also have to face the Mauryan Empire in the southwest, the Persian Empire in the west, and the Romanov Dynasty in the north.

Counting the still entrenched state of Java, in the Asian theater, the silver hand still has cards to play.

And it's a good hand.

The confrontation between the two sides has just begun, and it is still too early to talk about victory or defeat.

…………

December 22, Shanhai City.

At the end of the war, the military was busy counting casualties, reorganizing prisoners of war, and sweeping up the remnants and other post-war matters, and Ouyang Shuo did not intervene because he had more important things to do.

Completing the planning of the occupied territories as soon as possible is undoubtedly the most crucial step in restoring order after the war.

According to tradition, Bactria will establish the province of Luzon and the province of Australia. As soon as the Australian province was established, it broke the record set by the Liaojin province and became the province with the largest area in the territory of Great Xia.

Purely in terms of area, the territory of Great Xia has directly expanded by more than double.

The next step was the personnel adjustment, which had already been decided before the war. In the afternoon of the same day, the imperial court issued a series of official appointments and dismissals.

Gu Xiuwen was dismissed from the post of county governor of Xingzhou and promoted to governor of Luzon.

Gu Xiuwen has always been the most dazzling star among the indigenous NPC civil officials, not only trusted by Ouyang Shuo, but also experienced many key positions such as Beihai City Guard, Friendship City Guard, and Xingzhou County Guard, and his political achievements are extraordinary.

This promotion to the governor of Luzon is the greatest praise for Gu Xiuwen.

Lu Xiufu was dismissed from the post of Governor of Hanoi Province and promoted to Governor General of Australia.

Lu Xiufu assisted Hu Zongxian, the governor of Hanoi, and his own ability was enough, so this promotion was logical. Nuoda is an Australian province, and it is not easy to govern it well.

The Australian province is not only the future mine and pasture of the dynasty, but also a sharp weapon to contain the state of Java.

…………

Early the next morning, Daxia released another blockbuster news.

The imperial court decided to re-establish the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate, which included Hanoi, Luzon, Australia, Siam (a vassal state), Singju County, and the Auckland region.

In short, the territories of Bactria in Southeast Asia and Australia will all be included in the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate.

Compared with the previously established Northern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, the newly established Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate is stronger in terms of strategic position and development potential.

At the same time, the predecessor of the Great Xia Dynasty was also called the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate, which has a deeper meaning.

Who will take up the post of protector of southern Xinjiang has become the focus of attention inside and outside the imperial court. Ouyang Shuo did not play hide and seek, and announced the answer that morning, and the protector of southern Xinjiang he circled was Bai Hua, the governor of Yunnan.

Among the four people of Mulan Yue, Bai Hua, Siege Lion and Zhu Lion, Bai Hua is the best among them in terms of personal ability and personality charm.

This time, Bai Hua took the position of the protector of southern Xinjiang, which was Ouyang Shuo's greatest reward to Bai Hua.

The moment the news of the appointment came out, Bai Hua was not very surprised, but his brother Ming Yuezhao Dajiang looked ashamed, and said, "It seems that before, I really misunderstood him. ”

With the power of the southern Xinjiang capital, it is on par with Emperor Chen, and it surpasses the phoenix prisoner in one fell swoop, making Bai Hua one of the most powerful people in Huaxia.

With such a gift, how can there be suspicion?!

The seat of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate, Bactria was neither located in Hanoi City, nor in Manila City, Luzon Province, nor in Australia, but unexpectedly chose the Lion City in Xingzhou County.

The Lion City is not only the choke point of the Straits of Malacca, but also the heart of Southeast Asia. The establishment of the Metropolitan Protectorate here undoubtedly shows the determination and will of Great Xia to settle in Southeast Asia.

In this way, the country of Pyu and Johor, which are sandwiched between the hands of Daxia and Baiyin, are even more like sitting on pins and needles. The two places are only in the second tier sequence in Southeast Asia, and the players of the two countries together are not as good as Luzon.

The signal released by Ouyang Shuo was already obvious.

If the country of Pyu and the country of Johor do not want to follow in the footsteps of Luzon, it is best to be as interested as the previous Siamese country, take the initiative to attach to Bactria and seek stability.

If you really wait for Daxia to call, things won't be so easy.

Now it will be up to the two countries to choose.

At the same time as the establishment of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate, the vacated position of Yunnan Governor vacated by Bai Hua was taken over by Cao Shen, the warden of Kunming County, which was a smooth transition.

Cao Shen, the most important assistant of Bai Hua, finally came out of the way and became one of the feudal officials.

With the promotion of Gu Xiuwen, Lu Xiufu and Cao Shen to governors, plus the several counties under the rule of Luzon Province and Australian Province, there is naturally a new round of personnel turnover.

I won't go into detail about this matter, Great Xia has its own effective system, and Ouyang Shuo has no time to pay attention to this matter for the time being, because the envoys of the Eight Great Dynasties have arrived in Shanhai City one after another.
