Chapter 1296 – Spain Dynasty Facing Enemies on All Four Sides

Accepting the Egypt Dynasty was more complicated than expected.

That was because Egypt's submission was not through war. Great Xia did not even exact any pressure onto the Egypt Dynasty, so hidden problems were left behind.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Egyptian people, such a submission was the same as a betrayal.

Luckily, Great Xia and the Egypt Dynasty had signed an legally binding agreement.

4th month, 18th day, 11am, Great Xia assistant secretary Kou Zhun and Mulan Yue arrived in Cairo City to officially take over.

The current Cairo defenses were taken over by the Wolf legion corps.

The Africa warzone command headquarters and Wolf legion corps headquarters both shifted to Cairo. Without a doubt, Cairo would become Great Xia's core in Africa.

Along with Mulan Yue and her group arriving, the Egypt Dynasty officially disbanded. The royal family members would temporarily seclude themselves in the palace and would not even take a step out.

Based on the arrangements by Azure Badge, they would live in the Ottoman Dynasty from now on.

All of the officials were also sacked.

Great Xia's strategy toward Egypt was like using warm water to cook frogs. Hence, be it the Egypt Dynasty officials or the native officials, the Africa Governor-General House tried to keep all that could be kept.

Trying their best to use local officials was Great Xia's strategy.

As such, the Egyptian people would have feel resistance toward Great Xia, which would help to stabilize the situation. Two to three years later, this resistance would basically disappear.

Even at that time, utilizing local officials would be the main action.

Africa was not like Nanjiang, where their recognition of Chinese civilization was so high. To force them to accept Chinese culture was much more difficult, so they could only try their best to rope in the locals.

...

Imperial Capital.

Just as Mulan Yue and her group were taking over the Egypt Dynasty, the Imperial Court was discussing relevant appointments.

Apart from Sudan Province merging, the newly establishing Egypt Province and Libya Province both needed Provincial Governors.

The role of Egypt Provincial Governor was particularly important.

The Cabinet suggested to move one of the five current Provincial Governors in Africa over. As they were familiar with the Africa situation, it would be easier for them to get into the role.

Ouyang Shuo supported the Cabinet's suggestion.

Out of the five, Pei Yun and Cao Can were 'exiled' over there. Naturally, they could not be moved.

All that remained were Du Sijing, Changsun Wuji, and Yang Xiuqing.

Due to Du Sijing having always worked under Mulan Yue, Ouyang Shuo excluded him to prevent gossip.

Moreover, Ethiopia Province had an important strategic position, and he could not be moved.

Changsun Wuji was appointed last year, and he was not that familiar with the Africa situation. As such, Yang Xiuqing was the only choice.

Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate, deciding right away to move him over.

He, who was the core of Taiping Country, could also be called a long-serving official of the Empire. Be it in terms of talent or ability, he was a great choice.

Yang Xiuqing's experience in Taiping Country meant that he was good at caring for the people, which would help in him ruling Egypt Province.

As such, Ouyang Shuo had no reason not to choose him.

Replacing him as Mozambique Provincial Governor was Caiyun Zinan.

After the Imperial Court removed Houses and increased the Prefecture level organizations, the grade of the Prefecture Governor fell. To be promoted to Provincial Governor was a huge leap.
