Chapter 109: Xizhou Gathers
It was only after the second batch of military aid from the prairie successfully arrived in Xizhou that Kapok Zi completely relaxed his mind to carry out the unification and reconstruction of Xizhou. Prior to this, he had been worried that the Genetics would regroup their forces and launch another attack on New South City before the second batch of military reinforcements from the prairie arrived.
Because the Xizhou War had ended before the second batch of military aid was loaded, Shanglin and Zhen'er adjusted the shipment plan according to the changes in the current situation in Xizhou.
In order to ensure that Kapok had sufficient military strength to lead the important task of unifying Xizhou, the second batch of military aid loaded by the five steamships was used to carry 1,000 heavily armed expeditionary force soldiers, except for 100 chariots and ammunition that needed to be replenished.
Kapok will be able to use this 1,000 most effective expeditionary force to deter any forces that oppose the unification of Xizhou, plus several local legions led by Haidong and the remaining dozen legions of the Southland Kingdom, the military strength of Xizhou can also cope with the counterattack of the remnants of the genetic people's army.
After the Xizhou War, except for the King of Linhai, who was still alive and his national strength was still well preserved, the kings of the other four countries were all dead. The Nandi State has Princess Nanling and a group of old ministers who command the people to rebuild the destroyed city, so the social order is relatively stable.
However, because almost all the kings and ministers died in the war, the people were unstable and in turmoil, and the Langcheng Legion led by Haidong became the main force to maintain order and reconstruction in the Gudi Kingdom, and the Minghai Kingdom and Shennan Kingdom temporarily maintained social stability by the legions sent by the Nandi Kingdom.
Kapok is determined to take this opportunity to unify the entire Xizhou continent as soon as possible, and then the central government can lead the post-war reconstruction of Xizhou and resist the future war of aggression launched by the undersea gene people.
Although Jiesheng followed Ah Hu and Luo Lan to the outer world, with the second batch of military aid from the prairie and a thousand absolutely loyal prairie warriors by his side, coupled with the firm support of Nanling and Haidong, Kapok Zi had enough self-confidence to lead the great cause of the unification of Xizhou.
After discussing with Shanglin, Zhen'er, Haidong and Nanling, Kapok Zi decided to unify Xizhou and include Qizhou, because the independent Qizhou may be used by internal and external enemies in the future. And after the unification of Xizhou, it was neither called an empire nor a great Xizhou country, but called the Xizhou Alliance, and the original other countries, including Qizhou, became local governments under the jurisdiction of the alliance, and they were all renamed counties. The leader of the alliance is called the prime minister, and the local county lords are appointed by the alliance.
The term of office of the Prime Minister shall be a maximum of five years, after which a new Prime Minister shall be elected by all Union members in public. The members of the League Committee will include the principal leaders of the local counties and the principal leaders of the various departments of the Union Government.
In order to gain the support of the only remaining king of Xizhou, King Linhai, and the king of Linhai did govern the country well and made meritorious contributions in the War of Resistance, Mu Mianzi and others decided to invite King Linhai to be the first prime minister of the Xizhou Alliance, with Nan Ling as the vice premier, Mu Mianzi as the commander-in-chief of the alliance army, and Haidong as the deputy commander-in-chief.
The former commanders of the armies of the former countries who performed bravely and skillfully in the War of Resistance were promoted accordingly, and the generals who did not perform well were disarmed and returned to the field.
The former Ministers of the Coastal and Southland Kingdoms will hold corresponding positions in the Union Government according to their abilities and wartime performance.
On the one hand, they were glad to follow Jiesheng's suggestion and send ten banner regiments to participate in the war of resistance, but on the other hand, they were worried that Kapok's unification of Xizhou would be detrimental to their current power and the interests of Linhai State.
Another important reason that made the King of Linhai and the ministers feel anxious was that the military advisor Jiesheng beside their trusted Kapok Zi unexpectedly left Xizhou and went to the outer world.
After receiving the letter of Kapok's plan for the unification of Xizhou, King Linhai's panicked heart finally calmed down a lot, and he and his ministers originally took it for granted that Kapok would occupy the throne of the Great Xizhou Kingdom by himself, but they did not expect that this steppe strongman would let him be the leader of the unification of Xizhou.
Although the king of Linhai is not used to the title of the prime minister of the alliance, and he is far from having a good name like the king of the Great Western Continent, but after all, he is the highest leader of the Western Continent, not to mention that Qizhou has also been included in the territory of the Great Western Continent.
The king of Linhai immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the unification plan of Kapok.
Because the king is a smart man, the ministers of the Linhai Kingdom will not be stupid, and after listening to the full content of the plan, they quickly realized that the way of being an official will change from now on, and after the unification of Xizhou, no one can maintain a position of power forever as an official for generations. Moreover, military power and management power are no longer controlled by one person, even if the king of Linhai is the highest leader, he is only a high-ranking government official, and it is no longer possible to be like the king and regard everything in the world as his own.
The most dissatisfied with the ministers was the rule of re-election every five years, and they thought to themselves that even if this time because of the sponsorship of the King of Linhai and the national strength of the Linhai State, the ministers present could continue to be officials, but after five years, the King of Linhai himself and the capital would probably lose their power and have to go home to retire.
However, although he was dissatisfied and debated the reunification plan for a while, in the face of the current situation in Xizhou, no minister had enough confidence and courage to oppose the Xizhou reunification plan proposed by Kapokzi, and no one even made a suggestion to King Linhai to ask him to revise the content of the reunification plan.
Although the king of Linhai and the ministers had only seen Kapok once, they already knew what this prince had done in Xizhou. They know very well that this big red-faced man is not a man to be messed with, and if you do what he wants, he will greet you with a smile on your face, but if you oppose him or disobey him, he will unceremoniously and resolutely fight back.
What's more, even if all the people of Xizhou oppose his plan for the unification of Xizhou, the military strength that this prince of the prairie now has is completely capable of conquering the Xizhou continent alone, and opposing his proposal is self-defeating. Therefore, King Linhai quickly decided to accept the unified plan of kapok seeds in its entirety.
Because Kapok decided to set up the headquarters of the alliance government in the palace of the ancient city, after receiving the invitation letter from Kapok, the king of Linhai prepared for two days to take a group of ministers to the ancient city under the protection of a cavalry regiment.
Although the ancient city palace incident led to the death of the father and son of the king of the ancient land and the ministers, the ancient city was fortunate not to be baptized by the war, and the capitals of the two southern countries were destroyed, and many rich people in the south of Xizhou were forced to come to the ancient city to settle down, so soon after the war, the ancient city returned to its former prosperity, and it was difficult to find a room in an inn.
The palace of the ancient city was renamed the headquarters of the alliance government, temporarily defended by the expeditionary force corps of the steppe, and all the legions originally stationed in the ancient city were transferred to the west of the city to garrison, and the five legions of Langcheng plus the five legions from Xinnancheng and the five cavalry corps of Linhai led by General Tuo were jointly defended by the five legions of Langcheng and the five cavalry legions of Linhai led by General Tuo.
After taking office, King Linhai immediately acted in accordance with the unification plan of Kapok, and he first sent someone to send an official letter to the Ming Emperor of Qizhou, which contained a copy of Kapok's unification plan for Xizhou, and the King of Linhai also wrote a letter to the Ming Emperor in his capacity as the prime minister of the alliance.
In the letter, the King of Linhai persuaded the Emperor and his ministers to give up their power to return to their hometown to retire, promising that he and the Coalition government would ensure their personal and property safety, and allowing them to leave Princess City with a group of guards to ensure that they would not be endangered by the locals when they returned to their hometown.
In the letter, King Linhai euphemistically reminded Emperor Ming that although he was the prime minister of the coalition government, the military power was in the hands of Kapok Zi and Haidong, and if Emperor Ming did not take the initiative to give up power, it would inevitably lead to the tragedy of the destruction of the city.
Emperor Ming of Qizhou Princess City has been in panic since he learned that his uncle Ghost Spirit Spirit was chased and fled by outsiders, and he and the ministers around him were worried that he would be killed at any time.
When they received the letter from the King of Linhai, they couldn't help but cry with joy, the King of Linhai originally had a close relationship with them, but he didn't expect that after the war in Xizhou, he became the highest king of Xizhou, although the military power was in the hands of the prince of the prairie, but the Ming Emperor and others knew that Linhai was the first in Xizhou in terms of economic strength and military strength, and the prime minister of the alliance of the King of Linhai was not small, and his words could be taken seriously.
So, Emperor Ming personally wrote a reply letter to the King of Linhai, expressing his willingness to accept all his suggestions and waiting for him to send someone to take over Qizhou.
After receiving the letter from the Ming Emperor, King Linhai, Kapok Zi and Haidong immediately sent Ming Ke and the two of them to lead the Chamber of Commerce Corps to Qizhou Princess City to take over the power of the Ming Emperor.
So far, the Great Western Continent, including Chizhou, has been completely unified.
At the moment when the people of Xizhou Qizhou ushered in a new historical era, Wang Fan and Su Qian set foot on the land of Xizhou for the first time.
Kapok Zi and Haidong had received a telegram from Shanglin the day before that Wang Fan and his girlfriend were coming to Xizhou, and they were overjoyed, and immediately telegraphed to the two of Minke, who were far away in Qizhou.
When Wang Fan and Su Qian descended to the government compound of the Xizhou Alliance accompanied by Shanglin and Zhen'er, they were warmly welcomed by all friends, including King Linhai, and senior officials of the Alliance.
In particular, Haidong was the most excited, he and Wang Fan recalled in front of everyone the first time they met in Qizhou Xiancao City more than 20 years ago, and everyone cheered and praised for their bravery and resourcefulness.
The two of them set off from Qizhou at dawn, and they finally arrived at the ancient city palace before the dinner.
When the two of them met Wang Fan and Shanglin, they were again emotional, and Ming told everyone how he turned from a prince to a cat, and the story of being rescued by the envoy of the Heavenly King and then following Wang Fan to rescue the medicine fairy in the palace of Xiancao City.
The grand dinner held at the palace of the ancient city was held on the one hand to welcome friends from afar, and on the other hand, to convene the people to discuss and announce some world events.
King Linhai made a toast in his capacity as Prime Minister of the Allied Government, and announced that the Allied Government would build a Heroic Temple in each battlefield of Xizhou to commemorate General Yagu and the martyrs who died in the Anti-Japanese War.
This was followed by a speech by Kapok, in which he briefly reviewed the War of Resistance in Xizhou, and then focused on the reconstruction plan of Xizhou. Finally, he announced that the Western Continent Alliance would form a continental alliance on this planet with the prairie and the sea and land people, with Shanglin as the first governor of the continental alliance.
