King Lu Chenyang of Chu got off the battleship and arrived at the port of Chu State.
This is not the first time he has arrived here, but his different status gives him a different experience.
King Chu Chenyang of Lu saw that his confidant Xu Minghan was waiting for his arrival at the port with officials sent to Chu State in advance.
After he decided on the territory of the Chu State, he immediately sent his close friend Xu Minghan, who had been the prefect, to bring some people to the Chu State to deal with matters before the founding of the country.
Within the empire, they continued to send immigrants to the territories, and the territories also needed officials to manage them.
Not only Lu Chenyang, the king of Chu, did this, but other princes and kings also sent their confidants to the territory to deal with matters.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu looked at Xu Minghan, a fair-faced scholar, and his face had become tanned within a few months.
He waited until Xu Minghan came over and praised: "Minghan, you have done a good job during this time.
The Chu Kingdom has always been very stable, and there have been no major disturbances in our immigration from the empire and the relocation of the indigenous people."
When Xu Minghan heard the praise from the King of Chu, Lu Chenyang, he was overjoyed. Being recognized by the King of Chu, the hard work during this period of time was well worth it.
Xu Minghan said modestly: "Your Majesty, this is not the result of Minghan alone. Only by the concerted efforts of officials at all levels can we achieve this effect.
General Zhao Zhekang, who is responsible for military control here, and the imperial garrison also gave us a lot of help.
Without the imperial garrison to suppress those mobs, it would really allow them to join forces, and the consequences would be disastrous."
King Lu Chenyang of Chu smiled and said: "Minghan, don't be too humble, I will keep your merits in mind."
They sat down at the guard box near the port, and Chu King Lu Chenyang listened to Xu Minghan introduce the details of Chu State.
In the telegram, he could only understand the most core things, the details and the ins and outs of some things. Only the person concerned could understand them thoroughly.
King of Chu Lu Chenyang listened to Xu Minghan's introduction to the current situation of Chu State.
From time to time he looked in the direction of the dock.
The battleship Chenyang was faster, but it was also delayed for a while in Fujian.
Based on the speed of the fleet, it can be inferred that after the battleship Chenyang arrives in Chu State, it only takes a while for the fleet to arrive.
After Xu Minghan carefully introduced the situation of Chu State, he noticed the movements of King Chu, and the topic immediately turned to the port in front of him.
“The port in front of us was Marseille, the original most important port of the Kingdom of France in the Mediterranean.
The new name of this port will be determined by your Majesty in the future.
The Port of Marseille was resisting the Empire at that time. In order to quickly disintegrate the local resistance and win the will of resistance, the Imperial Royal Navy conducted a saturation bombardment of the Port of Marseille.
Most of this beautiful port city has become ruins.
When I came here, I immediately realized the importance of this port and gave priority to restoring its functions.
The port now looks a little dilapidated, but there is no shortage of cranes and freight workers operating in the port.
The port has restored its functionality and its cargo handling capacity is not inferior to Zhenhai Port and can reach the third- and fourth-tier standards of imperial ports.
I also arranged for officials to manage port matters in advance.
The fleet that is about to arrive will definitely not be crowded in the port, and the goods will be transferred out soon."
When King Lu Chenyang of Chu heard what Xu Minghan said, he nodded in agreement and said: "Traffic is to a country what blood vessels are to people.
Convenient transportation and low cost of use can speed up the movement of people and goods within the country."
While they were chatting, they heard the sound of whistles coming from the sea.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu looked up at the sea. There was still a group of black smoke that persisted in the sky over the sea.
He said happily: "The fleet has arrived.
With the people and materials in place, Chu will usher in great development.
This king will definitely lay the foundation of a powerful country."
The huge fleet entered the port in an orderly manner under the arrangement of port officials.
Huge cargo ships were waiting on the Mediterranean Sea, and Chu's navy was docked on the Mediterranean Sea to escort them.
The first to enter the port were passenger ships and troop ships.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu saw the troops he had carefully selected and trained personally.
They listened to the squad leader's whistle, lined up neatly, and got off the troop ship in an orderly manner.
When the army came ashore, they immediately formed square formations at the port according to their respective teams.
They held steel guns in their hands and had a strong aura on their bodies.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu knew that this was the prototype of a strong army. As long as they were tempered on the battlefield, they could become a strong army.
Xu Minghan looked at this army of more than 10,000 people. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe himself.
It only took Lu Chenyang, King of Chu, a few months to train this powerful army.
If the Chu State has such a king, it will definitely develop very well in the future and there is no need to fear being annexed by a strong enemy.
After all the troops landed, some of them maintained order at the port and also demonstrated the strength of the Chu State.
Most of the troops, led by generals, stationed outside the port.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu sighed: "The time is too short and we can only train more than 10,000 troops.
These armies became seeds. As long as the Chu State was strong enough, it could soon become an army of one hundred thousand or one million.
In the early days of Chu State, there was no need to worry about security issues.
During this period, no country will be strong.
Emperor Su He has just completed the enfeoffment and will not allow war to break out between countries."
All troops disembarked, and the troopship left the port to make room for other ships.
Passenger ships hired by the Chu State began to dock at the port.
The civil servants, scholars, teachers, workers, farmers and other immigrants recruited by the Chu State stepped off the ship one after another and observed the port curiously.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu went to the radio room and calmed the emotions of these immigrants through the radio.
"Hello, citizens of Chu State, I am your king.
Chu State is a country of immigrants. We all came to Chu State from all over the empire to prepare to build a strong country.
I promise today in the name of the king that everyone who comes to Chu will live a happy life."
When the immigrants heard the voice of Chu King Lu Chenyang, their worried and flustered mood immediately calmed down.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They can come to immigrate to Chu State, except for workers and farmers who have nothing, and want to fight for wealth.
Others have some modest assets and read books and newspapers every day.
Their understanding of the world is very clear.
They knew that their development in the empire had reached its limit.
If they want to improve their status, they can only change their living environment.
A teacher who cannot even get funding for scientific research from Huaxia University.
As long as he is willing to go to an emerging country like Chu State, he will most likely become an academician of this country's Academy of Sciences.
It is precisely because of this change in status that many unhappy people choose to take a gamble.
When they heard the promise of Chu King Lu Chenyang, they knew that even if they could not achieve good results, they would not encounter the worst results.
Immigrants who disembark will be led by port officials to different accommodation areas according to their status.
When the passenger ship transportation was over, they ended the order, and the captains set sail and left the port of Marseille.
The huge cargo ships in the fleet went to the dock to unload their cargo.
A large number of containers on the 10,000-ton cargo ship began to unload the cargo to the pier with the assistance of the terminal crane.
A large number of machines, industrial raw materials, food and other items that were in short supply in Chu were transported to the warehouse at the dock.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu, Xu Minghan and other officials took a car to the city of Paris.
He asked Xu Minghan in the car: "Minghan, have you and Zhao Zhekang discussed the territorial handover issue?
This king and Zhao Zhekang have completed the territorial handover, and this territory of Chu State will completely belong to me."
Xu Minghan nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I have contacted Zhao Zhekang Photography. He usually does not make promises easily, but he has done everything he promised.
Zhao Zhekang is also willing to complete the territorial handover as soon as possible.
They also want to return to the empire as soon as possible so that they can take an early vacation and visit their relatives in their hometown who have not seen them for a long time."
As a military general, King Lu Chenyang of Chu understood the thoughts of these soldiers who were in areas without war.
He was previously worried that Zhao Zhekang was too ambitious and wanted to rely on the Chu State to gain more benefits.
Zhao Zhekang did not have this intention, so he could complete the crucial last step with the empire.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu was riding in a car and did not stop to rest at night.
They traveled from the port of Marseille to the city of Paris overnight.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu entered Paris again. He was originally in a drowsy state, but immediately became energetic.
The last time he entered Paris, the whole city was on fire, and the people were hiding in their homes and shivering.
When King Lu Chenyang of Chu entered Paris this time, he saw people walking leisurely on the street.
When they saw the car, they subconsciously hid on both sides of the street, but there was no fear in their eyes.
They were used to the Empire's soldiers.
When King Lu Chenyang of Chu saw this attitude of the local aborigines, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
His vehicle did not stop in the city and went directly into the imperial garrison camp.
If others want to enter here, they still need to go through some twists and turns.
King of Chu Lu Chenyang stepped out of the car directly.
The military attache in charge of standing guard saw the moment when he saw King Lu Chenyang of Chu.
He immediately straightened up and subconsciously saluted: "I have seen the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief march forward."
King Chu Lu Chenyang said with a smile: "I am no longer your commander-in-chief, everything will be done according to the rules.
These are the rules that I participated in formulating, and I cannot take the lead in breaking them.
Go call General Zhao Zhekang and tell him that King Chu is here to hand over the territory."
The military attache guarding the gate smiled sarcastically, turned around and entered the post, dialed the phone and reported the incident.
After he came out of the guard box, he immediately asked his men to open the door and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, King Chu, please come in."
King Lu Chenyang of Chu led his men to a room that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
When General Zhao Zhekang saw the arrival of King Lu Chenyang of Chu, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"King Chu, you took great care of me back then.
You think it is a small thing, and you may not even remember it, but it was a turning point in my fate.
It is also the honor of our First Army of the Royal Army that you can become a vassal king."
Lu Chenyang, the king of Chu, was in the army before. As long as the people below him did not violate national laws and military discipline, he was always very easy-going.
He is also willing to promote young people with no background. These young generals have no connections or connections behind them.
If they want to get promoted, they will definitely show off themselves on the battlefield.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu helped countless people.
He now knows what Zhao Zhekang is thinking, no wonder he treats Chu State so sparingly.
He was repaying his kindness, rather than having any plot against the Chu State.
King Chu Lu Chenyang smiled and nodded, not wanting to discuss this matter in depth.
Talking about whether to repay a favor now means threatening.
"General Zhao, we still need to complete the matters related to the territorial handover."
Zhao Zhekang saw that King Lu Chenyang of Chu was determined to do this.
He understood the attitude of Chu King Lu Chenyang and immediately arranged for the garrison to conduct a territorial handover ceremony with the Chu State.
The garrison camp became busy.
The Imperial Chinese Associated Press wishes Paris journalists, local representatives from all walks of life in Paris, and representatives of the Imperial Garrison.
They quickly organized and went to the garrison camp to visit the territory handover ceremony between the Empire and Chu State.
In order to record this important moment, Xu Minghan specially arranged a photography team to film this scene into a documentary and preserve it permanently.
Representatives from all walks of life have arrived, and the imperial troops stationed in Chu are also ready.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu produced the imperial edict issued by Emperor Su He and the transaction certificate between King Chu and the imperial cabinet regarding the purchase of Chu territory.
General Zhao Zhekang, on behalf of the garrison, verified the authenticity of the imperial edict and transaction vouchers.
He sent a telegram on the spot to report the incident to Emperor Su He.
They had already said hello in advance, and Emperor Su He quickly sent a call back, allowing the territorial handover.
General Zhao Zhekang respectfully read the telegram sent by Emperor Su He.
He saluted King Lu Chenyang of Chu with a military salute and said loudly: "The imperial garrison was ordered to end the military control of the territory of the Kingdom of France.
The jurisdiction of the territory was officially handed over to the State of Chu.
The empire's garrison will soon leave Chu and return to the empire."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After General Zhao Zhekang finished speaking, he handed the miniature sand table, which symbolized the territory of the Kingdom of France, into the hands of King Lu Chenyang of Chu.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu took over Chu's miniature sand table, with tears streaming down his face.
The Chu State he established will set sail from now on.
General Zhao Zhekang completed the territory handover ceremony, and he refused the banquet invited by King Lu Chenyang of Chu.
He came to the garrison camp and announced loudly.
"Our army has finished attacking the officers here, and our army is about to return to the empire."
When the soldiers heard the news, they were very happy.
"I missed home, and now I can finally go home."
"This is just a countryside, not even as good as the countryside of the empire.
It’s really painful to stay here for a long time.”
"After the war, I watched my comrades return home.
He got a promotion and a salary increase, married a wife and had children, I'm really envious of him."
The soldiers packed their personal belongings and looked forward to going home soon.
…………………………
As the monarch of Chu State, King Lu Chenyang of Chu was very busy during this time.
The Chu State had just been established, and he wanted to build a complete governance system to ease the conflicts between immigrants and indigenous people.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu sent the imperial garrison out of the country, and he also arranged for small armies to be stationed in strategic places in Chu.
Only a strong military deterrence can suppress the indigenous people and prevent them from resisting.
In his free time, King Lu Chenyang of Chu opened the "Hualian News" newspaper that he had never had time to read.
The front page of the newspaper still talks about the internal affairs of the empire.
On the second page of the newspaper, it reported that Chu State had completed the territorial handover.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu read the subsequent newspapers and found that the major princes and kings had completed the transfer of territories one after another.
Except for King Wu Qi who caused some disturbances due to his perseverance, the other countries successfully completed the territorial handover ceremony.
