Chapter 577: A New Official Takes Office

The plane of Wu Xiongying's family landed at an airstrip on the outskirts of Philae.

A group of soldiers wearing Ming military uniforms lined up on the side of the airport runway to greet them.

After Wu Xiongying came down with his family, two officers from this side immediately greeted him.

The two sides didn't know each other, but they both served in the Ming army, so it was natural for them to salute each other.

The two officers first declared their identities, and they were the commanders and overseers of the temporary "Philo Thousand Households", and they also directly showed their waist cards.

Then he asked Wu Xiongying's identity very seriously and directly.

They all know Wu Xiongying's identity, but now they still have to go through the normal process in public to formally ask about it.

This is a mutual confirmation of identity in accordance with official formalities before the transfer of arms and control of assets can begin.

Wu Xiongying also knows this process, so he is also very cooperative throughout the process.

First show your waist card certificate in the army, and then take out the general education test certificate, which is equivalent to your ID card.

Finally, show your edict of canonization of the male of Philo County and the accompanying explanatory documents.

After confirming the documents, President Qian and the Overseers saluted Wu Xiongying again and returned Wu Xiongying's documents.

Then the two took a team of guards to escort Wu Xiongying and his party to the largest Ming-style manor on the outskirts of the city, which was the future Feiluo County man's mansion.

Wu Xiongying and his father arranged their family and friends first, and then had dinner together again in their new home in the evening.

Wu Xiongying also had a good night's rest and poured jet lag.

The next morning, accompanied by his father and Wei Yuan, he began to go through the formal handover procedures.

The Provisional Commander of Philo and the Overseers first explained the situation in Filo County.

According to the current statistics, the remaining population in the newly established Firo County is about 160,000.

Of these, 50,000 live in the county center of Ciudad Philae, 30,000 around the seaside port of Rosa, and the remaining 80,000 live in the surrounding countryside.

The Governor of the Right Army of the Ming Dynasty, the Governor of Aragon, commanded the envoy and sent 1,600 Ming soldiers and 500 Hu servant soldiers to the temporary Fei Luo Qianhu Office.

After the handover is completed, the servants will escort a group of exiled Taixi people from Mozhou to the new vassal state in the western colonies of Daming Mozhou.

Wu Xiongying could select up to 1,000 of the existing 1,600 Ming soldiers to form his own Feiluo County Male Guard.

Other soldiers and officers can change jobs in Firo County and become police officers and officials in Firo County, as well as ordinary immigrants.

But this arrangement is only guided, and it is not mandatory for both Wu Xiongying and the soldiers.

Whether the soldiers are willing to stay here, whether they are willing to become Wu Xiongying's guards, and whether they are willing to become police officers and officials in Feiluo County depends on the results of negotiations between the two sides.

They can choose to return to their place of origin on an official transport ship.

The current Ming Dynasty young and middle-aged people, even if they are not soldiers, will not lack work.

Wu Xiongying had to come up with certain conditions to keep them, such as arranging housing for them and giving them land and property.

Fei Luojun Wu Xiongying is also in control of a large amount of assets, land, and money now.

The original Spanish aristocracy in Firo County had already been looted and cleaned up by Lucia and the Germans during the invasion.

When the Ming Dynasty returned, they cleaned up the newcomers Lucia and the Germans.

The remaining Spanish nobles who can still be found will also be gradually sent to the West Moximo continent to be handed over to the Spanish king.

But none of their belongings could be taken with them.

Lucia and the Germans seized the wealth from the Spaniards, which of course was unilaterally and directly confiscated by the Ming occupation forces.

The few remaining assets that could be found by the Spanish nobles, whose owners, were also forcibly purchased by the Ming occupation forces at very cheap prices.

Now, among these assets, except for infrastructure and large-scale industrial facilities, the rest will be directly transferred to Wu Xiongying, the monarch of Feiluo County.

It includes houses, shops, banks, manors, orchards, farms, fish ponds, pastures, gold, silver and jewelry......

All of them have become the wealth of Wu Xiongying, the monarch, which can be regarded as a direct reward from the imperial court to Wu Xiongying.

However, it is obvious that these rewards were not given to Wu Xiongying himself, and the imperial court directly photographed 1,600 Ming soldiers to come over and share them together.

Of course, Wu Xiongying can choose not to pull out a dime, but these Ming soldiers will definitely leave directly.

Without their help, Wu Xiongying wanted to control the 160,000 people in this land, which was not a simple matter.

In addition to these riches, what was transferred to Firo County with the army, there was also a batch of military equipment.

First of all, the basic firearms and infantry equipment of the corresponding scale of the Ming troops.

Then there were a total of thirty-two armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles, as well as twenty-four artillery pieces of various types and calibers.

There are also twenty-four piston propeller aircraft, including attack aircraft and fighters.

There are even four small military offshore patrol boats.

These equipment were all retired along with the Ming army of the Philo Thousand Households.

Equipment captured from the armies of the three Roman countries, as well as equipment left over from the Spanish military, was given to the squires and townsmen.

A gentleman who only needs to manage a township does not need to care about the performance of equipment at this level, as long as there is one, it is already a strong deterrent.

These equipment made Wu Xiongying quite surprised, and at the same time, he also had a little regret that he did not get a jet.

Jet planes are all new products of the past few years, and in the process of military expansion and refitting before the war, there was no time to replace all the air force units.

Now that the war is over, the Ming Dynasty has begun large-scale disarmament, giving priority to the elimination of secondary units using jet aircraft.

However, even if it is a propeller aircraft, it is also an aircraft used by the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the top cargo among propeller aircraft.

When Wu Xiongying got off the plane, he saw those propeller planes parked on the airport.

I recognized their model at a glance, and knew that the engine they used had a power of more than 3,000 horsepower, which was a product that could not be owned by private people.

It is also the fighter that the air forces of the former Tessie countries dreamed of.

With a thousand soldiers at the level of a thousand households, plus these aircraft, armored vehicles, and artillery, it should be completely easy to manage a total of more than 100,000 natives.

Wu Xiongying learned about the situation in Feiluo County, and after discussing it with Wei Yuan and his father, he came up with a trial management plan.

Wu Xiongying asked Qianhu and the Overseer to arrange servant soldiers to maintain order in the city, and temporarily gathered all the Ming soldiers.

In his own Fei Luojun Manor, Wu Xiongying used the radio amplification equipment provided by the army to directly explain his arrangements to all the Ming soldiers.

For the Ming soldiers who were willing to stay, each person could immediately get a temporary residence.

The distribution of this dwelling may not be very fair, because the original dwellings were built by the residents of the original city, and they cannot all be of the same size.

So they will also get ten acres of suburban land at the same time, which will be used to build a special new house.

Finally, a "Firo County Development and Construction Company" was established to operate and manage the existing major assets of Firo County.

It includes all farmland, orchards, forest farms, manors, fish ponds, pastures, mines, trading houses, money farms and other assets that can be operated sustainably.

Wu Xiongying, as the monarch, held 30% of the shares, and all the other remaining soldiers jointly held 40% of the shares.

The dividend rights of the last 30% of the shares are distributed to the company's management and management, and the voting and decision rights belong to the lord Wu Xiongying.

Wu Xiongying's idea is not to directly distribute the existing assets, but to directly set up a joint-stock company to manage it centrally.

In this way, it can directly produce scale effects, and at the same time avoid the soldiers who get the assets do not know how to operate and sit on empty seats.

Most of the soldiers thought it was good, but some of them were unacceptable.

Many people are relatively simple and rude personalities, thinking that it is best to feel that they should directly get an actual asset, and there is no sense of reality waiting for dividends.

Or they feel that they have better management skills, and they feel that it will be better to directly manage their own wealth.

Wu Xiongying asked them to think about it for an hour, and in the end, more than 1,400 people were willing to accept this arrangement, and nearly 200 people could not accept this plan.

Wu Xiongying doesn't talk much nonsense, if he can accept this condition, he will stay and sign the contract, and if he can't accept it, he will politely send them back to his hometown to change jobs.

After deciding the direction, Wu Xiongying directly asked his father to help and drafted a joint stock explanatory document.

Wu Xiongying is the monarch of Feiluo County, and the documents signed by himself are legally effective in the local area.

However, in order to reassure all the soldiers, and also to obtain the official recognition of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Xiongying still arranged for someone to go to the command department to report and register.

At the same time, through the official channels of the Ming Dynasty, a formal joint-stock Feiluo County Development and Construction Company was established to facilitate the possible cross-domain operation in the future.

Now the Taixi Continent is still under military control, so go through this kind of formalities and go directly to the command of the embassy, instead of the political envoy.

The headquarters of the Aragonese Commander was in the city of Barcelona, which was Barcelona in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

It took time to go through these procedures, and Wu Xiongying followed his father and Wei Yuan to start assigning new subordinates in advance.

First of all, Wei Yuan, the chief of Philo, did a small test, and selected 200 people from 1,400 Ming soldiers.

Most of them have a secondary school education level or above, or a primary school education level, but they have certain management skills and are good at communication.

They will accept Wei Yuan's centralized guidance and follow Wei Yuan to form a formal Feiluo County Yamen, and become the backbone of the county government in the future.

Wu Xiongying knew that he would not stay in the fiefdom for a long time, so he directly entrusted the affairs of the Feiluo County Ya to Wei Yuan as a whole.

However, he also handed over one of his wife's elder brothers and two brothers from the Ming concubine's family to Wei Yuan to arrange for him to work in the county government.

It is not only to really help Wei Yuan work, but also to help Wu Xiongying keep an eye on the operation of the county government.

Wu Xiongying himself handled and arranged military and garrison affairs.

First of all, 800 soldiers were allocated to form the Standing Guard of Philo County.

Among them, the Air Force has set up a division, with 40 pilots, 160 ground crews, a total of 200 soldiers, to manage all 24 aircraft.

The Navy is also a division, likewise assigned a total of two hundred soldiers, responsible for patrolling with four patrol boats, as well as the security of the port of Rosa itself.

The Army is a full-fledged division with 400 soldiers assigned to use the Army's main mechanized equipment as a mobile garrison.

The last 400 people formed four Jinyi 100 households to form a Jinyi Zhenfu Division.

The tasks of the Jinyi team of the vassal state are the same as those of the local Jinyi guard, and they are responsible for daily security management, traffic management, emergency response, and urban management.

Wu Xiongying also stuffed his two younger brothers into the brocade team.

Neither of them wanted to continue studying, one was fifteen years old and the other was seventeen years old, and they could already learn to do something serious.

Neither he nor his father can just let them play casually.

Then Wu Xiongying and Wei Yuan, together with a team of soldiers, a team of brocade clothes, and a group of yamen officials, began to inspect and confirm the situation of the fiefdom.

Identify major buildings and facilities in the city, and identify functioning assets that have been developed in the suburbs.

Then go out of the city to confirm the assets of the township settlements.

This is to hand over the assets and the situation of various places with the temporary guard, and also to let the main personnel of the fiefdom know that they will come as official lords in the future.

Therefore, everywhere he went, the main local managers would be summoned to meet the baron Wu Xiongying.

The shopkeeper in the city, the steward on the farm, and the foreman in the factory were all very nervous and excited when they met Wu Xiongying.

In fact, most of them were originally ordinary workers, and they had just obtained their current status not long ago.

It was when the Ming Dynasty took over the town that they gradually cleaned up the original ruling class and sent them to Mozhou along with their masters and employers.

Temporarily promoted a group of more clever workers who can speak Daming Yayan to take charge of affairs.

These ordinary people have been very yearning for Daming, and now they are even more grateful to Daming from the bottom of their hearts.

Thinking that they would all be the subordinates of the Ming Lord in the future, they were all inexplicably very proud.

In the eyes of Wu Xiongying and his party, the images of these people are somewhat funny, as if they are specially dressed as ugly on the stage.

They all wore Ming-style hair buns and wore Ming-style clothes.

However, most of the hair buns are not very neat, and many people's hair is not long enough, and a few strands will always fall down when they are tied up.

Many people's clothes don't fit well, or they have obvious problems with their shape.

Obviously, the distribution has just begun to learn, and the clothes have only recently been purchased, and there is no special person to guide them, so many places are unnatural.

Wu Xiongying fought from the Urals to Gibraltar, and he has seen too many similar situations, and he has long been surprised.

But Wu Xiongying's two younger brothers have never met, and both of them are still the most emotionally wanton age.

They are accustomed to seeing the image and dress of normal Ming people, and they often can't help but laugh out loud when they look at these people.

The two of them often couldn't help but discuss in a low voice, pointing at those Tessie.

Wu Xiongying and Wu Zhiyuan, father and son, both felt that these two boys were a little presumptuous, and talked about them after thinking about it.

But these Taixi stewards who were standing opposite Wu Xiongying didn't feel that the brothers were rude at all.

When they heard the sneer, they bowed their heads slightly in shame.

They feel that there must be something wrong with their image.

Although I couldn't find out what the problem was for a while, when I stood with the real Ming people, I always felt that the temperament of both sides was completely different.

The image of the Ming Baron and his entourage gives people a very harmonious and natural feeling, and their images are also very outstanding.

He and his companions around Tessie are not only a big difference in image, but even the costumes are not in place.

Then many of them secretly swore in their hearts that when they went back, they must find a place to customize real Daming clothes.

In the future, I will work hard to learn the words and art of the Ming Dynasty, and make my temperament more suitable for the Ming people.

Many of them didn't even think about how to make themselves completely like the Ming people, because they knew that the two sides were really not exactly the same.

The difference in the innate image cannot be improved by acquired retouching at all.

can only hope that the descendants can marry the Ming people and give birth to children of mixed blood with the Ming to inherit the family business......
