"Sir, those thieves have been captured!" In a patrol hall outside Yongchang City, a group of soldiers escorted several Indians with big tied flowers. Novels.

Yongchang City was west of the Mississippi River in later generations, namely Lafayette City, which was the land seized by the Eight Banners of the Free State through war from the Indians. In 1692, the king Mozhe ordered the construction of the city here, which was completed in three years and was named Yongchang, which means that it will flourish forever and provide a large amount of money and food for the court.

The system of the Free State is actually quite interesting. Because a large number of Chinese scholars have joined, the system is quite ancient, especially the ruling class, the Black Eight Banners nobles asked Confucian children to design official positions for them according to the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, these scholars from the mainland are not very high in their cultural level, and they may not be familiar with the official system of the past dynasties. Therefore, how to say the system designed in the end is a bit strange, such as the mixed style of the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, which makes people feel inexplicable.

For example, this Yongchang City is a land that was captured after the battle between the Mo family in Xinjing and the Hexi Indians for many years. According to the administrative level, it is a prefecture, namely Yongchang Prefecture. However, this prefecture had no prefecture or prefecture, and the Supreme Chief Executive was actually a Jiedushi, which is really surprising. Yongchang Prefecture belongs to Hexi Road, which is a serious administrative division in the Song Dynasty. The Supreme Chief Executive is a Transport Author, but there is no mention of officials such as the Criminal and Prison Affairs to divide their power. There is no supreme military chief, and the Jiedushi of each prefecture is the de facto general and is responsible for military work.

The Mo family in Xinjing currently has two roads, namely Hedong Road and Hexi Road. There is only one prefecture under Hedong Road, namely Xinjing Prefecture. Because it is a capital city, Xinjing Prefecture does not have a military governor, but is directly led by the royal family. In the future, it is not ruled out that Xinjing Prefecture will be independent from Hedong Road and become a separate administrative area.

In addition to the royal area, there are Fengtian and Rehe Prefectures, which are basically the autonomous region of local Jiedu. The highest commander is the Jiedu. For example, the Liang clan of Fengtian, and the Mo clan of Rehe directly took the official position of Jiedu, and at the same time, they also served as the military commander of the cavalry and infantry commander of the government, and the generals and political power are firmly in their hands.

Overall, the Free State currently divides these three forces. The Mo family in Xinjing has two routes and two prefectures, controlling nearly 50,000 people, and is endorsed by the East Coast people. The dominance is unbreakable. The Liang family of Fengtian and the Mo family of Rehe each control about 20,000 people, and raise more than 1,000 professional soldiers. They have more than one thousand full-time professional soldiers, but they cannot shake the rule of the royal family. Of course, their main task is not to compete for the throne, which is not allowed by the East Coast Advisory Group. The purpose of their existence is to expand territory for the Free State, expand living space, and realize the strategic intentions of the East Coast people.

Well, some people will definitely ask what the strategic intention is. In fact, it is very simple. It is nothing more than blocking the Europeans' expansion into the central North American continent and preventing them from obtaining more land. In addition, if the time is ripe in the future, the East Coast people will find ways to make multiple countries appear in the Mississippi River. These countries each control a section of the river, making this major transportation artery completely an international river, and cannot become a transportation trunk for a complete country, which will completely eliminate the possibility of a major power in the basin. As for the source of these countries, these military governors' separatist regimes are naturally reserves, and there may be some Indian regimes or East Coast colonial regimes, which will be arranged clearly.

By the way, I would like to say something extra. Of course, Indian students who were trained by the East Coast have not played much role after returning from their studies. The reasons are very complicated. Among them are those who are not valued and idle, and some are killed in internal struggles. Of course, more are those who cannot rely on their own efforts to change the huge tribe, and eventually they can only become the window for tribes to communicate with the outside world. It is a pity. The only two successful cases have also greatly reduced their strength because the tribes fought with others. It seems that they will not be able to become a big climate in the short term.

From here we can see that low civilizations are low civilizations after all. Indians have never had contact with the outside world for millions of years. Before the arrival of European colonists, they were hunting civilizations, and they were hunting civilizations that used inferior and low-quality tools. Even with the support of the outside world, it still seemed difficult to achieve a quick success. After a long-term follow-up by the State Intelligence Administration of the East Coast, they even sacrificed more than ten people due to tribal vendettas and wars. Finally, they announced that the first phase of the Indian training plan failed, and believed that resources should be focused on the Black Eight Banners, and that they would be more likely to succeed.

Based on this view, the Hexi Road in Xinjing Moshi Xintuo received strong support from the East Coast people. First, the East Coast Ministry of Agriculture signed a series of cooperation agreements with the Kingdom of Free State, and selected dozens of agricultural experts to help plan the plan, where to build reservoirs, where to open farmland, where to breed aquatic products, and where to grazle cattle and sheep. They even issued a relatively detailed soil research report (regardless of whether the other party can understand it) and provided a new batch of good varieties. For pastoral areas, they also conducted field inspections, evaluated the possible impact of the local environment on livestock, and then gave a specific grazing plan to ensure that the Free State can obtain as much livestock output as possible. The above costs only more than 50,000 yuan in total, which is really a very conscientious price.

Secondly, the Ministry of Geology of the East Coast also signed an exploration agreement worth 100,000 yuan with the Free State. They sent a total of four capable teams to Hexi Road to help explore materials and discovered several small metal deposits. In this way, the 100,000 yuan exploration funds were also settled. The Free State mortgaged the mine to the East Coast in exchange for a considerable amount of loans to purchase on the East Coast, including ship repair equipment, dock equipment, etc. At the same time, they also hired the First Bureau of the East Coast Transportation Construction to help build a high-level combat readiness highway. These undoubtedly greatly improved its national strength and will be of great benefit to future development.

The big head of cooperation between the East Coast and the Free State will always be military cooperation. I won’t mention the officer advisory group. They have been stationed here all year round to help the Free State build a modern army, which is crucial for a country located in the four battles. On the side of Hexi Road, the East Coast sent armed police and regular officers to first help Yongchang Prefecture train a fully heated weapon unit of more than 1,000 people. This unit has more than 700 rifles, eight cannons, and more than 100 war horses, and its combat effectiveness is still very considerable.

In addition, given that this is already an immigration development area, the construction of local police work has also been on the right track. Just like the inspection department with more than 20 inspections in front of me, it was helped by two East Coast police officers. The inspection department is actually equivalent to the public security bureau of East Coast people, but it is generally located in a strategic location in the wild, such as a salt drying field near this inspection department (also built by East Coast aid). One of the duties of the inspection department is to protect the safety of the salt field and investigate suspicious people.

The inspection department is not responsible for the public security in the city, which is the responsibility of the constables in the city, just like the difference between the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (i.e., the armed police) on the east coast and the ordinary resident police. There are currently thirteen inspection departments in the entire Yongchang Prefecture, which are set up in different places, with strategic locations, relatively densely populated settlements, important materials locations, etc. The reason for this is that I am worried about the Indians!

The Indians are a hunting nation after all! Well, after the foreign colonists landed, the Indians along the coast obtained the cultivation technology and no longer simply rely on hunting, fishing or collecting to make a living, but they actually did not settle down. Most of the so-called arable land is still just tillage. This seems to be related to their national habits and it is difficult to change it in the short term. Therefore, although the Yongchang Jiedushi on Hexi Road has defeated the Indians, most of them have gone to other places to live, and after a year and a half, they cannot be guaranteed to come back. This is very likely.

Don't believe it? The poor guys caught by the inspectors are spies! Although the interrogation has not yet begun, the seventh-rank inspection in the hall and the two East Coast police advisers have long concluded that this is a spy who travels or hunts to nearby Indian tribes. This conclusion is both a bad thing and a good thing for them. On the one hand, the war may break out. This is a huge consumption of money, food and materials. Compared with materials, human life is actually not that important and unlimited.

Both Hexi Road and Yongchang Prefecture are really poor. On the good side, the population is coming to the door. The Indians have low civilized levels, and once they are conquered, it is not difficult to assimilate. You should know that among the many people in the Free State, pure blacks account for only about 50%, and 10% are yellow people, whites and Indians, and mixed races account for 40%. This is all caused by the assimilation of Indians captured through wars over the years.

"Take the person down and interrogate it." The inspector waved his hand and ordered in standard Chinese. He is a distant clan of the Mo family in Xinjing. He has nothing to do with Xinjing, otherwise he would not have been sent to Yongchang Prefecture to be a seventh-rank inspector. But his attitude at work was speechless, very serious and responsible, much better than the children of some princes and nobles in Xinjing. Moreover, he was very respectful to the East Coast, which won the favor of the two consultants. If he chooses officials who go to the East Coast to study in the future, they will definitely recommend this inspector, although he is in his thirties.

"Consultant Duan, since this Indian spy has appeared, his brigade may be near. After the interrogation results are released, I will report to the transfer envoy of Hexi Road, Lord Lu and the governor of Yongchang Prefecture, Liu Junmen, and asked them to send them to the night without checking, so as not to be unaware of the enemy when they get close." After instructing their subordinates, the inspector said to an East Coast consultant sitting behind him: "Of course, I will select elite patrol officers to go out in the afternoon, and ask Consul Duan to adjust the training plan. I wonder if it is possible?"

Because the inspection department has just been established, and the inspectors have not completed the original training plan, the inspector dared not interrupt the course at will, and thought it would be better to ask the East Coast Consultant. After hearing this request, this consultant Duan agreed without thinking. He asked for instructions. Of course, you can't take it seriously. Try not to interfere in daily affairs at will. Before coming here, the superiors repeatedly explained this to avoid making people disgusted.

At this time, Consul Duan also secretly sighed that the survival pressure of this Free State is really extremely great. Although the other side of Hedong Road is bordered by Air Canada, the control is very low. Indian tribes come over in every few days, and small-scale conflicts cannot be cut off. On this side of Hexi Road, the situation can only be more complicated, and wars are fought almost every month (of course, the scale is not very large), which has a great impact on agricultural production.
