    Chapter 1121 – Make an Offer!


    After the construction costs for Hawaii, one had to talk about the Free Squadron prisoners and warships.


    After making up for the losses, these batch of spoils of war could form two and a half divisions. Currently, Ouyang Shuo had no intentions of expanding the Great Xia navy. How to deal with this batch of war prisoners and warships became a huge problem.


    At this point, Feng Qiuhuang helped him solve the problem.


    Although Feng Qiuhuang’s Great Jin was located ind, she did have Hokkaido. Due to the prosperity of voyage trading, Feng Qiuhuang naturally did not want to fall behind the curve.


    Forming a navy was necessary for Great Jin.


    Helplessly, Great Jin did not have any advanced shipbuilders and could not build shipyards. Moreover, they did not have navy generals and sailors, so they were unable to train navy troops.


    Feng Qiuhuang had thought about asking Great Xia to build warships for her. However, the various shipyards were busy making Z1 Type Warships and could not find the time.


    If they needed to wait for the turreted warships to be eliminated from Great Xia, they would need to wait a long time.


    Furthermore, even with warships, even if Great Xia sent over a bunch of teachers, they could not form a navy without generals and sailors.


    For this matter, Feng Qiuhuang had been wracking her brains.


    The Battle of Hawaii was a light at the end of the tunnel for Feng Qiuhuang.


    The day that the Free Squadron prisoners were sent to Yingzhou Province, the sharp Feng Qiuhuang rushed over to Shanhai City to probe Ouyang Shuo’s ns for them.


    After learning that Ouyang Shuo was not going to expand the navy, she was delighted, “Ouyang sell them to me!”


    “Sell them to you?”


    Ouyang Shuo could not react to that all of a sudden.


    “That’s right!” Feng Qiuhuang could not hide her excitement, “Sell the prisoners, warships, cannons, sailors, and the like all to Great Jin. State a price!”


    At this moment, Ouyang Shuo understood, and he smiled, “That’s a decent idea.”


    If this deal was done, it would be a win-win situation.


    However, as Great Xia had only sold ever warships but had never sold a squadron, how to discuss the price was a problem. Luckily, Ouyang Shuo was not a petty person, and after roughly calcting it, he said, “Then let’s deal at four million gold!”


    The war prisoners and sailors were the hardest to evaluate because they might be useless to Great Xia, but to Great Jin, they were worth their weight in gold.


    Ouyang Shuo’s price was not expensive and was already a friendship price.


    “Deal!”


    Feng Qiuhuang was also really straightforward, directly epting it. Only then did she say awkwardly, “Ouyang, can I pay it in two installments? Taking it out right away is difficult for our finances.”


    “No problem.” Ouyang Shuo understood.


    Even for Great Xia, taking out four million directly was really painful, much less Great Jin. For Feng Qiuhuang to pay in two installments already impressed Ouyang Shuo.


    After the matter was settled, what happened next was easy. Apart from Nimitz, who was sent back to Shanhai City, the others were sent to Hokkaido.


    Great Jin had obtained its own squadron overnight.


    Making use of this chance, Ouyang Shuo made some adjustments to the Pacific Squadron headquarters.


    Along with Great Xia taking down Kyushu and Shikoku, Ouyang Shuo decided to ce the Bohai Sea, Yellow River, East Sea, and Japanese sea all under Binhai Squadron.


    The Pacific Squadron would only be in charge of the Pacific Ocean.


    After the adjustment, the Pacific Squadron left the 1st division in Yingzhou Province, the 2nd and 3rd in Hawaii, and the 4th to open up the South America trade route.


    Ouyang Shuo was nning to take down a base in South America to house the 4th division there toplete aplete defensive chain.


    The remaining 5th division was naturally the mobile division that patrolled to and fro.


    After this round of adjustment, Great Xia’s navy in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean became more and more perfect. They took control of these two oceans and protected he authority of Great Xia.


    Next would be the Antic Squadron.


    ...


    After dealing with the Maldives and Hawaii matter, only then did Ouyang Shuo turn his attention back to the homnd.


    As for Jin country, they established the Jinliao Province, which was the biggest Province in Great Xia currently. It was four to five times bigger than normal provinces.


    The governing area was chosen as the old Jin Country capital, Acheng district.


    What needed to be said was that be it Acheng district or the Mongol, Tibet, or simr capitals, they all did not have teleportation formations.


    Of course, they did not have satellite cities either.


    As a result, the Qing Dynasty had to use the ocean routes to transport weapons and equipment to Jin. After taking down Jin, it was like ruling a big province, and the difficulty was not small.


    For this, the Imperial Court needed to choose an exceptional Provincial Governor. After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo decided on Lingnan Provincial Governor Huo Guang.


    He was all rounded and was also familiar with how to rule a country. Moreover, he had the fierce side of a general. He also had the training of Lingnan Province, which made him suitable for the job.


    The empty space he left in Lingnan would be taken by Chaozhou Prefecture Governor Wei Ran.


    Wei Ran rose because of Baiqi and fell because of him. Coming over to Great Xia because of him, he was appointed as the Lianzhou Governor, living a good life for a while.


    Helplessly, good fortune did notst for long.


    Since both Wei Ran and Baiqi held important positions in the territory, it would undeniably lead to gossip. Moreover, Wei Ran was greedy and showing signs of corruption.


    As a result, he lost in thepetition to be the Shanhai Magistrate and was sent by Ouyang Shuo to be the Chaozhou Governor.


    On the surface, he was just being redeployed, but in truth, he was demoted half a grade. That was because Lianzhou Prefecture was the core area of the Imperial Court, and its importance was several times more than the normal Chaozhou Prefecture.


    After bing Zhili, the Shanhai Magistrate was a secondary Grade 2 official, half a grade higher than a Provincial Governor.


    Hence, this move could be considered a warning from Ouyang Shuo to Wei Ran.


    Luckily, Wei Ran knew his ce and worked hard there, showing no more signs of corruption. He had ster results during every evaluation, and so he was listed as one of the choices for Provincial Governor.


    Along with Huo Guang being moved to Liaojin Province, he was promoted.


    This made Song Wen even more dejected. If it were not for his father, Ouyang Shuo might have given him the chance to rise up to lead Lingnan.


    Choosing the Provincial Governor was just the first step in changing Liaojin Province.


    Ouyang Shuo’s following actions caused people to drop their spectacles in shock and also caused waves in the Imperial Court.
