1890 King of Southeast Asia

Arab cavalry, an ancient branch of the army.

During the heyday of the Ottoman Empire, Arab cavalry joined the Ottoman Army as light cavalry and made great contributions to the expansion of the Ottoman Empire.

In return, the Ottoman Empire provided asylum to the Arabs and reduced their taxes.

In several major wars in Europe and Asia, Arab cavalry played a significant role, and Arab cavalry could always be seen on important battlefields.

Arabian horses are therefore well-known at home and abroad and have become precious military horses.

Now, after a certain degree of modernization, this force has become the power of Nanhua, and its name has become Rangers (because it is equipped with artillery, and it is not clear to call it light cavalry.)

At this time, an Arab Ranger Brigade was scattered in the middle of the Mesopotamian Plain, wandering between Nasiriyah and Amara. Their mission was to detect the enemy's main force and eliminate small groups of enemies.

"Hakim, our efficiency is too low. If this continues, the command will have opinions." Faris looked at the spoils behind him with dissatisfaction.

Although the Special Military Operations Command promised that all the Arabs' spoils belonged to the Arabs, Faris would not be stupid enough to swallow everything.

They fought for half a month and only seized seven carts of supplies (property, treasures, etc.). It took a whole brigade half a month to get so little. How to divide it?

As a nobleman, the elder of the Arab Tribal Kingdom, the baron of the South China Empire, and the head of the Arab Ranger Regiment, Faris had to have face.

"These damn Mesopotamians are unwilling to surrender or fight with us. They can only move in the dark like a mouse." Hakim complained first, and then said more hurriedly:

"We must achieve results and prove the value of our existence! The Ottomans are no longer reliable. In the future, we can only rely on South China, and only South China is willing to accept us. Europeans are pagans."

Hakim is also the elder of the Tribal Kingdom and the head of the Arab Ranger Regiment, but he does not have the noble title of the South China Empire, because he is wise and civilized. When Arabia was incorporated into South China, he did not have power.

Nanhua's policies towards ethnic minorities and the Ma family stimulated Hakim. He believed that the weak and disunited Arab nation could only find belonging in the Nanhua Empire.

"Report, there are only some civilians in the town ahead, and the enemy ran away four days ago." The scout ran back.

"Again! Telegraph to headquarters, the enemy disappeared." Faris gritted his teeth.

They have searched more than a dozen towns and found nothing, not even the tail of the Mesopotamians.

"Faris, we must stop this useless work, we need achievements to prove the value of Arabs!!" Hakim threw the whip on the ground.

In the traditions of Arabs and Ottomans, people without value will be abandoned, and the same is true for races. Hakim naturally brought them into it.

"There is only one way, divide the troops! Expand the search area." Faris looked at the scorching sun and said heavily.

Arab soldiers do not have the morale, organization, combat capability, and logistical support capabilities of Nanhua soldiers. Once they are divided, if they encounter a large number of enemies, it will be extremely dangerous.

"I have an idea." Hakim was silent for a moment and took out the map.

"There is a main brigade in Nasiriyah and a main brigade in Amara. Contact them. We will serve as auxiliary troops and cover the main attack from the flank." Hakim gestured on the map.

"How can we reflect our role in this way? Just to make up for the loss? Or to clean up the battlefield?" Faris disagreed with this plan.

"What do you think?" Hakim asked.

"Attack here!" Faris pointed to a town on the map.

This town is at the edge of the ranger's guerrilla range, and according to the established mission, the ranger's mission does not include this place.

"Abres?" Hakim looked at Faris and spoke in confusion.

Abres is an important town on the banks of the Tigris River, but according to Hakim's understanding, the enemy has abandoned this place and has not left many people here.

"The latest news is that a group of Mesopotamians came from the north and are currently staying in Abres. If we set off now, we can arrive at noon tomorrow." Faris looked at Hakim's expression.

"In the north, there are people from Katara? How many are there?" Hakim asked.

"It is said that there are 10,000 people, but this is not Katara's territory..." Faris raised his eyebrows slightly. Hakim nodded.

For warlords, the army is everything in their hands. Even if they lose, they will not give it up easily.

So the troops coming here are at most cannon fodder. At most, it is good to have combat effectiveness of 2,000 people.

"There are three more towns along the way. If we don't encounter the enemy, we can only do this." Hakim thought about it and agreed to this proposal.

Faris needs military merits to consolidate his position, Hakim needs military merits to fight for the title, and the Arabs need military merits to show their value. It is a win-win situation for all three.

"Then let's go! The whole army turns right and moves towards Abres!" Faris waved his whip, and the tall Arabian horse trotted forward.

On July 25, an earthquake occurred in the political situation in South China.

Liu Yiming promoted three ministers to the Medical and Health Committee at one time; sixteen central bureau directors and more than sixty local provincial and municipal bureau cadres were also transferred to various committees.

Read novels—free of charge and without advertisements, and interact with fellow book lovers.

On the same afternoon, Xu Hui submitted the "Several Opinions on Strengthening Market Supervision". Under the influence of Chen Siyuan, the presidium of the parliament passed the document.

The main content of the document is to weaken the power of committees at all levels, completely stripping the power of execution, management, and review from the committees, and the committees will become supervisory agencies affiliated with the parliament.

This is undoubtedly a big earthquake for Nanhua.

Because Liu Wanhua, Chen Jiangtao, Zhang You and others have resigned from the government and joined various committees as standing committee members or standing vice-members.

Liu Yiming's approach is undoubtedly weakening their rights—and also weakening his own.

"Are the old guys scolding me?" Liu Yiming sat in the office, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking at Zhang You.

"No... Everyone can understand. Some people are really not motivated. There is nothing we can do about this cleanup..." Zhang You shook his head, but his face was full of worries.

"What worries? Tell me!" Liu Yiming put out the cigarette.

"The old guys don't miss it, but they are worried about the children and want to know what you will do next." Zhang You sat down and said worriedly.

During the years when Liu Yiming was the emperor, their family gradually showed the taste of being alone, which made Zhang You very uncomfortable.

If Liu Yiming does this, various hierarchical problems will only become more obvious. Zhang You dare not imagine what will happen at that time.

"My attitude is very clear. Nanhua must speed up the progress and development. The capable ones will be promoted and the incapable ones will be demoted. Their children..." Liu Yiming touched his beard.

"No problem, transfer them to idle departments. There is no problem with the life of a rich man. If anyone has a dream, I will fully support them to realize their dream."

Liu Yiming also didn't want to see the situation of "the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits are dead, and the running dogs are cooked", but those who can't keep up with the pace of Nanhua can only be eliminated.

At most, let them get some material compensation and continue to hold power? Then such a big move this time is meaningless.

"This... should be enough, but... to what extent do you plan to do it?" Zhang You twirled his fingers.

"Use this war to conduct a comprehensive review of Nanhua and prepare for the arrival of the great struggle." Liu Yiming's words made Zhang You a little confused.

"Great struggle? A larger-scale war?" Zhang You asked worriedly.

Zhang You is familiar with the current situation in Nanhua. Small-scale wars are fine, but once the scale expands, Nanhua's development will stagnate.

Stagnation of economic development will be reflected in people's livelihood, and then reflected in politics, which is very likely to cause turmoil.

"Now no one can bully us, why can't we develop well?" Zhang You asked.

"A time of great struggle! Countries frequently fight each other, the strong will become stronger, and the weak will perish~" Liu Yiming recited.

"If you think about it carefully, you will find that Nanhua has never developed simply by relying on our own hands. We are not, and the powers such as Britain, the United States, France, and Germany are not either."

Zhang You opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

"To defeat the Dutch, we relied on concentrating the wealth and lives of the Chinese. The second victory was to plunder the natives. The same is true for defeating the Spaniards." Liu Yiming said softly.

It's not that Liu Yiming must tell Zhang You these things, but Zhang You is no longer Zhang You now, but a representative of those abandoned by the reform.

They are all veterans of Nanhua, rich and influential. Liu Yiming does not want to use violence unless it is absolutely necessary.

"There are hundreds of ethnic groups of the natives we are talking about. By exploiting them, our coal production will reach the fourth in the world in a short period of time, and steel production will increase year by year, and the economy will be prosperous.

But... the free labor of the natives... is almost gone." Liu Yiming looked at Zhang You.

"At present, the competition between Britain and Germany is extremely fierce. The war can be said to be imminent. New development opportunities are right in front of us. Those who can't keep up with the pace of Nanhua are destined to be abandoned, even me! The emperor of Nanhua is still the same!" Liu Yiming stood up and walked in front of Zhang You.

"Imagine what would happen if Nanhua failed in this competition."

Zhang You opened his mouth, but the scene of the Chinese in Surabaya launching a surprise attack on the Dutch for survival 17 years ago seemed to pass by in front of him.

"Go back and tell them that the wheel of the empire will not stop. There are still many positions in the Colonial Governor's Office, and the parliament is about to be re-elected. Let them choose for themselves." Liu Yiming put his hand on Zhang You's shoulder and squeezed it gently, just like ten years ago, when they were still living in the Liu family's ancestral home.

...

"Will it be too harsh?" After Zhang You left, Xu Hui came out of the side hall.

"Do you believe it? If we fail, we will be worse than the Qing Empire. By then, the Chinese will be trampled under everyone's feet." Liu Yiming said earnestly.

He is a soft-hearted person, otherwise there would be no place for those stubborn people in the Colonial Governor's Office, and at most they would be retired in various committees.
