On the last day of June, the imperial court of Great Xia announced the territorial structure and personnel changes in South America.
The imperial court decreed that the Brasilia Dynasty, including the Uruguay region and the surroundings of Buino City, was divided into three major provinces. From north to south, they were Amazon Province, Brasilia Province, and Uruguay Province.
Between the Amazon Province and the Brasilia Province, the former King City of Brasilia was the boundary. Brasilia City was included in the Amazon Province to the north, and it served as the provincial seat.
Fang Xiaoru, the former governor of Fuyong Prefecture in Minnan Province, was promoted to the governor of Amazon Province.
Among the three major provinces, Amazon Province was the largest province, but also the most difficult to govern. At the same time, it was also the province with the weakest economic strength and the smallest development potential.
Of course, because Brasilia City was included in the province, its political significance was extraordinary.
Even the administrative center of the American Protectorate was chosen to be in Brasilia City, indicating that the city would continue to bear the historical mission of the political center of South America.
This arrangement was also to minimize the influence of the former dynasty.
Ouyang Shuo had high expectations for Fang Xiaoru to manage the Amazon. First and foremost, he was responsible for opening up the road between the Columbia Province and the Amazon Province.
Only in this way could the entire South American territory be connected.
The province of Brasilia and the province of Uruguay were separated by the city of São Paulo, which was included in the province of Brasilia to the north, and at the same time served as the provincial seat.
Between the governor and the Protectorate of Great Xia, Leo finally chose the governor.
Ouyang Shuo did not make any statement about this and directly gave the position of the governor of Brasilia Province to Leo. In this way, Leo was the first in Great Xia to still be able to serve in the territory after submitting.
However, the area of office was reduced by more than half.
The southernmost Uruguay Province included the southernmost part of the Brasilia Dynasty, the Uruguay region, and the surrounding counties of Buino City. The provincial seat was naturally located in Buino City.
Such a division was extraordinary. It allowed Uruguay Province to have the capital to compete with Brasilia Province. It was also a key move by Ouyang Shuo to balance Leo's influence in the Brasilia region.
It was both trust and restriction.
This was Ouyang Shuo's usual style of doing things.
The former Southern Xiang Province's Yongzhou Prefectural Governor, Gu Hen Xiao, was promoted to Uruguay Province's Governor.
Before he submitted to Great Xia, Gu Henxiao was also a feudal lord. Now that he was promoted to the governor-general position, and it was a heavyweight province like Ouragui Province, Gu Henxiao felt that he had leaped through the dragon's gate.
From now on, his future was limitless.
This was in line with Ouyang Shuo's way of using people. He boldly used the NPCs and Overlord players, giving them ample opportunities to gain experience and even allowing them to make some mistakes.
Making a mistake in the game world was better than causing trouble on Hope Planet.
These three provinces, together with the recently established Columbia Province, formed the Protectorate of the Americas. At the same time, it was also the fifth protectorate in Great Xia and the third overseas protectorate.
The former Western Frontier Protector-General Bi An was transferred to the American Protector-General.
As such, Lao Ai became the first civil official in the history of Great Xia to serve in two protectorates. His name was destined to be recorded in the annals of Great Xia.
Compared to the border of the Western Frontier, the South American continent was full of vitality and extraordinary potential. Therefore, although Lao Ai's transfer was a flat transfer, it was actually a hidden promotion, giving Lao Ai a broader stage.
The former Shu Province Governor of Chengdu, Zheng Yi, was promoted to the Chief Historian of the American Protectorate.
During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Zheng Yi served as the Minister of Internal Affairs and served as the Chief Historian of the Prime Minister's Office. After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he served as the Provincial Governor of Long Province and the Provincial Governor of Qi Province.
Due to illness, he died in his position as the Provincial Governor of Qi Province.
Ouyang Shuo chose Zheng Yi because of his experience as the Chief Historian of the Prime Minister's Office. He believed that with Zheng Yi's ability, he would definitely be able to assist Lao Ai in governing the huge American Protectorate.
The person who replaced Lao Ai as the Western Frontier Protector-General was the former Governor of the Central Plains, Feng Qiuhuang.
Compared to Lao Ai, Ouyang Shuo actually had higher expectations for Feng Qiuhuang. This time, he didn't directly appoint Feng Qiuhuang as the American Protector-General. Other than the issue of seniority, the more important reason was that Ouyang Shuo had other arrangements for Feng Qiuhuang.
The Western Frontier Protector-General was just a temporary arrangement.
The position of the Governor of the Central Plains that Feng Qiuhuang left behind was taken up by Guo Anbang. Guo Anbang was Old Guo, one of the two powerhouses of China's elite class. This time, he finally agreed to step into the Great Xia bureaucracy.
Last year, the other powerhouse, Old Zhang's son, Zhang Bangxin, was appointed as the head of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Great Xia. This was the beginning of Ouyang Shuo's plan to rope in China's elite class.
This time, Old Guo's appearance meant that China's elite class had basically recognized Great Xia.
Of course, the symbolic meaning of Old Guo's appearance was far greater than the actual meaning. Firstly, Ouyang Shuo would never transfer someone like Old Guo, who he didn't understand and trust, to the central government.
Secondly, Old Guo's age was obvious, and his future potential couldn't even be compared to Jiang Shang and the other wise men.
At this point, the imperial court's plan for the American Protectorate was temporarily put on hold. Other than the Governor, the County Governor, County Magistrate, and other government officials, according to the previous promise, would be led by the local people.
Apart from that, the Administrative Yuan also transferred a batch of demoted magistrates and county magistrates to America to assist the local people in establishing a government structure that was in sync with the imperial court.
At the same time, they were also responsible for spreading the Chinese civilization.
All in all, Great Xia's governance of South America had just begun, and there was still a long way to go.
…
Other than the internal affairs, the military arrangements had also been finalized.
Firstly, it was the navy.
The Atlantic Fleet's Third, Fourth, and Fifth Formations would be stationed in America. In the future, the American Protectorate would cooperate with the fleet to establish naval bases along the eastern coast of South America.
Only then would the Atlantic Fleet be worthy of its name.
In the future, Ouyang Shuo even considered moving the headquarters of the Atlantic Fleet to the American continent. After the war in Europe calmed down, the Atlantic Fleet would mainly carry out escort missions in the Mediterranean Sea.
If there was a need for war, they would have to establish a Mediterranean Fleet.
Otherwise, the Atlantic Fleet wouldn't be able to take care of the vast Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea at the same time.
The Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea had been put under the jurisdiction of the Indian Ocean Fleet.
At the same time, with the cooperation of the American Theater of Operations, the Atlantic Fleet had already conquered the Lesser Antilles and was currently in the process of conquering the Greater Antilles.
Given that the Greater Antilles was the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico was the lifeline of the Dawson Dynasty, it wouldn't be so easy to conquer the Greater Antilles.
The Dawson Dynasty would definitely defend to the end. Ouyang Shuo had also made preparations for a protracted war. He ordered the American Theater of Operations and the Atlantic Fleet to adopt a strategy of nibbling away at the Greater Antilles.
The attack on the Greater Antilles was in itself a form of deterrence to the Dawson Dynasty.
After the establishment of the American Protectorate, the defense areas of the three armies of the American Theater of Operations became increasingly clear. The North American Army was stationed in the Columbia Province, while the South American Army was in charge of the defense of the Amazon Province, Brasilia Province, and Uruguay Province.
As for the Stalwart Tiger Army, it was temporarily stationed in the Brasilia Province. After all, the Brasilia Dynasty had just submitted, and there were still many unstable factors in its territory. A large army was needed to stand guard and cooperate with the government to clean up this tumor.
After the situation in South America had completely calmed down, the Stalwart Tiger Army would act according to their mission.
Finally, it was time to deal with the 550,000 Brasilia soldiers. This was also the most difficult part. Fortunately, the Privy Council had come up with a very interesting plan that Ouyang Shuo approved of.
