Chapter 1320: King of Chu
Just after New Year's Day, the Great Xia court issued an inconspicuous personnel appointment and dismissal.
In the imperial decree, Lang Ouyang Bing, secretary of the Secret Pavilion, was promoted to the bachelor of the Secret Pavilion, responsible for the coordination and liaison between the cabinet and the four courtyards and other institutions.
Bing'er's authority is very flexible.
It is equivalent to Ouyang Shuo giving Bing'er a broader stage, where she can walk between the cabinet, the four courtyards and other institutions, be familiar with the operation of the imperial court, and prepare for the future succession.
This process will last at least two years.
Ouyang Shuo spared no effort in cultivating Bing'er, and Bing'er did not disappoint him.
The two brothers and sisters cooperate tacitly.
…………
January 5th, Jingshi.
Ouyang Shuo presided over the annual military and political meeting.
Compared with the 24 ministers who attended the meeting last year, two new people have been added this year, namely Zhou Yu, the admiral of the Atlantic Fleet who has just taken office, and the Phoenix Protector of Western Xinjiang.
Ouyang Bing, the new scholar of the Secret Literature Pavilion, sat in the corner of the conference room as a recorder.
Despite this, the eyes of the twenty-six ministers still inadvertently swept over the corner, examining this smartly dressed, quiet and restrained Tingting girl, with thoughtful eyes in their eyes.
The ministers have guessed a few points about His Majesty's arrangement.
Yesterday, the imperial court released the list of titles for the new year, and Di Chen's promotion to a third-class marquis did cause a round of waves, but the real focus was still on the eldest princess Ouyang Bing.
The eldest princess was crowned the king of Chu and became the first prince of Great Xia.
Prior to this, there were six princes in Great Xia, namely Fusu, King of Qin, Liu Fuling, King of Han, Yang Jian, King of Sui, Li Zhi, King of Tang, Zhao Guangyi, King of Song, and Zhu Yunwen, King of Xiaoming.
Everyone knows that these six princes are just superficial and have no real power.
The eldest princess is different, as His Majesty's only sister-in-law, this time she was not only named the king of one word, but also one of the four most honorable titles of "Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu", and the meaning is naturally not ordinary.
A few days ago, the eldest princess was promoted to the master of the Secret Pavilion, responsible for the coordination and liaison between the cabinet and the four major courtyards and other institutions. Truth be told, the appointment left the ministers with some doubts.
After all, the Secret Pavilion Scholar is only the fourth grade, how can he be worthy of such a heavy responsibility. As for the identity of the eldest princess of the empire, it does not have any blessing on the officialdom of the imperial court, but will have a not very good impact.
It was only yesterday that it dawned on the ministers.
If the eldest princess is honored as the king of Chu and concurrently serves as the master of the Secret Literature Pavilion, then all problems will be solved.
Regarding His Majesty's arrangement, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee have a clear understanding of it, but there are also doubts about it. For example, Homo sapiens such as Jiang Shang and Zhang Liang can naturally comprehend one or two and know that Your Majesty is making arrangements for the Planet of Hope.
Ministers who don't understand will not come forward to refute it.
In fact, as early as when His Majesty asked the eldest princess to go to Qiongzhou County to observe the government, there were already signs.
Two years of observing the government of Qiongzhou County and one year of apprenticeship in the Secret Pavilion have made the ministers gradually accept the reality of the eldest princess of the empire entering the court, because it is gradual, and the rejection is naturally much less.
Before the start of the ceremony, the cabinet and the military aircraft department respectively made a brief summary report on the implementation of the strategy set during the ceremony last year.
Gaia's eight-year situation is basically the same as the judgment made by Zhang Liang in his State of the Union address.
The two camps of the Silver Hand and the Blue Badge fought for life and death, giving Great Xia the opportunity to travel in all directions and fish in troubled waters, expanding the results in South America and Africa in one fell swoop.
The key is that after taking two large areas of overseas territory, Great Xia only launched two wars, whether it was war attrition or army casualties, they were pitiful.
Relying on the strong deterrent power that Great Xia has established in the world, as well as its superb strategic layout.
Such a weight lift is really the envy of other dynasties.
The Dawson Dynasty, for example, did its best to defeat the sparsely populated Maple Leaf Dynasty, but in doing so, it lost the Columbia region and the Brasilia Dynasty, a powerful ally.
Whether it was really earned or not, is still two theories.
Not to mention the European dynasties, in order to win the Germanic dynasty, they were all about to fight a war, but after a year of fighting, it was still a draw.
"You say it's not a bag!"
The reality is that the strong become stronger, and the weak are always weak.
The development of Great Xia is now amazing, like a giant, like a snowball, just like a snowball, casually rolling, the expanded territory is difficult for other dynasties to turn back.
What's even more terrifying is that this giant is still full of physical strength, far from the limit.
The Great Xia Army has a total of eight major theaters, and in the eight years in Gaia, except for the American theater and the African theater, the remaining six theaters are basically recuperating.
It is foreseeable that by the ninth year of Gaia, what amazing energy will be released in the six war zones.
With the establishment of the American Protectorate and the rapid expansion of the African Protectorate, the territory of Bactria has become more and more perfect, and if you count the base point cities, Bactria has territories on five continents in the world.
The title of global empire is well deserved.
At the same time, the global chaos war also gave Daxia an opportunity for the industry to take off.
In the area of internal affairs, in addition to the smooth abolition of the government and the completion of the streamlining of institutions, outstanding achievements have been made in the fields of industry, education, transportation, sports, and press and publication.
From the original economic dominance, to the current blooming everywhere.
The efficient internal affairs system fed back the army, allowing the Pacific Fleet to complete the refitting ahead of schedule, and was reborn, becoming the world's first naval fleet composed of all kinds of ironclad ships in one fell swoop.
The world's first fleet is none other than the Pacific Fleet.
The once glorious Night Fleet was once again trampled down, and it did not dare to harass southern Xinjiang again.
After the Pacific Fleet was reequipped, the next fleet to be reequipped was the Atlantic Fleet, which had just been restored, which was one of the reasons why Zhou Yu attended the ceremony.
Compared with the Pacific Fleet, in view of the development situation of the European and American dynasties, the Atlantic Fleet actually shoulders a higher mission and responds to the greatest challenges.
Therefore, it is very necessary to redress the Atlantic Fleet as soon as possible.
At the same time, the imperial court has already started the formation of the Mediterranean Fleet, which is tentatively divided into two formations, which are specially responsible for patrolling the Mediterranean seas, so as to strengthen the empire's naval supremacy over the Mediterranean.
In this way, it is also sharing a little pressure on the Atlantic Fleet.
It is expected that the specific time of formation will not be carried out until the Atlantic Fleet is reequipped.
Fortunately, with the current level and scale of industrialization in Great Xia, it only takes half a year for the Atlantic Fleet to take on a new look and become an existence comparable to that of the Pacific Fleet.
By that time, the already somewhat shaky maritime supremacy of Great Xia would be established again.
Of course, with the advancement of global industrialization, the fleets of European and American dynasties are also being updated, and it is probably impossible for Great Xia to dominate the global sea power as before.
