Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

After arranging the first and second divisions, Fang Jian said to Fang Guoxuan, "Guoxuan, send a regiment to capture Hongxing, Qingchang, Zhengshan, Changye, Pingshan, and the remaining four counties of Nanfeng."

"Yes, Commander." Fang Guoxuan stood up and replied respectfully.

After arranging the military matters, Fang Jian rubbed his brows and felt overwhelmed.

The territory was conquered, but how to govern it became a problem. Even if 30 staff members and 60 police officers were arranged in one county, there were 110 counties in Nanling, which would require more than 3,000 staff members and 6,000 police officers.

This is only the county level, and does not include the twelve cities and town governments under the county.

Fang Jian instructed Tao Yunong, "Transfer Zhou Zhuowu, Yao Feng, Guo Weizhang, Shen Liren, and Shao Wenli to Nanling."

"Zhou Zhuowu and Yao Feng are responsible for recruiting and assessing government personnel throughout the province."

"Guo Weizhang is responsible for setting up courts in various cities in Nanshan. The system of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce should be set up by Shen Liren as soon as possible. The political talents trained by Shao Wenli's Propaganda Department should also be arranged to join the army."

"Zhong Yuchen's weapons factory also needs to be moved to Nanling as soon as possible. Yunong, you will do this personally."

"..."

"Commander, what should we do with Ma Jincen and others?" After arranging everything in an orderly manner, Fang Guoxuan, who was about to adjourn the meeting, asked.

Fang Jian held his forehead and thought for a moment before instructing Tao Yunong, "Drive them out of Nanshan, Yunong. You should do this as well."

"Yes, Commander." Fang Jian arranged a lot of tasks, and Tao Yunong felt that the Intelligence Department was short-staffed. After accepting the order, he was thinking about how to expand the scale of the Intelligence Department.

After Fang Jian sent a telegram to the Northern Government, stating that he would obey the Northern Government's orders, the current President Li Bingqing called Prime Minister Duan Chengrui to discuss how to deal with this matter.

Seeing Li Bingqing in deep thought, Duan Chengrui asked, "Mr. President, isn't it good that Nanshan Province has shown that it will obey our orders?"

The previous Nanshan Province and the Northern Government were more like two independent entities, each not interfering with the other.

After Francis Xavier made this statement, if the northern government needed to mobilize troops for a war, he would definitely send troops.

"The Fang family has a close relationship with Yuan Shiting." Li Bingqing sighed.

Duan Chengrui smiled and said, "Is the President worried that Fang Jian will defect to Yuan Shiting?"

"What? Is there some hidden story?" Li Bingqing asked in confusion when he saw Duan Chengrui's indifferent look.

Duan Chengrui nodded: "Fang Ji'an is from the third branch of the Fang family. Since the death of Fang Hongyan, the head of the third branch, Fang Ji'an has been excluded by the Fang family."

"Not only was the Third House's property embezzled by the First and Second Houses, but they also used Yuan Shiting's connections to banish him to a remote Xinyuan."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Okay, okay." Upon hearing these hidden secrets, Li Bingqing clapped his hands and laughed.

"In this case, Fang Jian will not only not be a helper to Yuan Shiting, but he also has a grudge against him." Having said that, Li Bingqing couldn't help but feel in a good mood.

Eight years ago, there was a revolution in the south. The President took advantage of the situation and led the new army to overthrow the previous dynasty. He poisoned the last emperor of the previous dynasty and some royal family members of the previous dynasty were also purged.

The President then negotiated peace with the South and took office as President.

The President originally wanted to kill the previous emperor and then ascend the throne himself, but the public opinion in the country was surging at the time, supporting him to overthrow the previous dynasty but not supporting him to become emperor.

Even the president's confidants disagreed with the idea of ​​becoming emperor, so the president had no choice but to endure it.

When the five-year term was over, after some intrigue, Li Bingqing became the new president, and naturally became a thorn in Yuan Shiting's side.

Li Bingqing was also helpless. It was not that he wanted to compete with Yuan Shiting, but under the recommendation of various military leaders, what else could he do?

Although Yuan Shiting was not the president, he still served as a member of the Military Commission and held certain military power.

Of course, there are also some officials within the government who support Yuan Shiting.

After being happy for a while, Li Bingqing instructed Duan Chengrui: "Send an order to officially appoint Fang Ji'an as the military governor of Nanshan Province and confer the rank of lieutenant general."

"Cheng Rui, arrange for someone to deliver the appointment letter, military uniforms, shoulder straps, etc., and win over the other party at the same time."

"no problem."

Duan Chengrui readily agreed, and then said with some embarrassment: "But, the other party's request..."

When Fang Jian asked Tao Yunong to send a telegram to the northern government, he naturally would not report it in such a casual manner.

Instead, he said that Ma Jincen launched an unjust war, causing the people of Nanshan to suffer, and that he had to fight hard to defeat Ma Jincen. Then he cried poor and asked for money, food, and arms.

"Give it to me." Li Bingqing gritted his teeth and agreed, thinking that one cannot catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.

After Duan Chengrui left to make arrangements, Li Bingqing said to himself, "Fang Jian, I have given you everything you want. I hope you won't disappoint me."

In the afternoon, Tao Yunong excitedly found Fang Jian with a telegram from the northern government.

"Commander, good news, good news. The Northern Government has appointed you as the governor of Nanshan Province."

"Really?" Francis Xavier was surprised. Is the Northern government so generous? After reading the telegram and finding no problems, Francis Xavier couldn't help but frown.

Tao Yunong asked in confusion: "Commander, is there something wrong?"

"I always feel that the northern government has some purpose. Yu Nong, keep a close eye on the developments in the northern capital." Fang Jian didn't know the reason, so he had to give such orders.

Two days later, the system voice kept ringing in Fang Jian's head.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have captured a new county town and received a bonus infantry company."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have captured a new city, and you will be rewarded with an infantry battalion."

In the past two days, the first regiment of the Guard Division drove trucks to occupy the counties under the jurisdiction of seven cities in Nanshan Province, including Nanling.

南陵(辖12县)、平山(辖8县)、洪兴(辖10县)、青昌(辖8县)、郑山(辖9县)、长冶(辖9县)、南丰(辖10县)。

Including the four counties in the north of Nanfeng that had not been occupied, a total of 60 counties were occupied. Including the infantry companies rewarded by Fengxian County, a total of infantry companies and infantry battalions were rewarded, totaling people.

Francis Xavier was very happy to get so many soldiers.

After summoning these soldiers, Francis Xavier reorganized the Guards Division into four infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a firepower battalion, a guard battalion, a special service battalion, and a reconnaissance battalion.

There are also engineering battalions, medical teams, messengers, communications offices, and logistics departments, forming a division of more than 22,000 people.

Fang Tianming will concurrently serve as the commander of the 4th Regiment of the 1st Guard Division, while the positions of other people remain unchanged.

A security group was also set up to protect Fang Ji'an, with Wang Hu as the head and Zhang Sheng as the deputy head.

The remaining 50 were dispersed by Francis to serve as police officers in counties and cities, with people assigned to each county and city.

In the entire Nanshan Province, the only two people not in Fang Jian'an's hands were Nanyun and Huai Chong.

At this time, the 1st and 2nd Divisions had already arrived at the city of Nanyun. Zhang Guilin had transferred all his troops into Nanyun City and abandoned the surrounding counties.
