October 4th, 1 p.m.

The Ming Imperial Military Department Building, the conference room of the officers.

Personally presided over by the legendary king of the Ming Empire and the apostle Wen Jiming who walked in the world, the military conference of the Northern Campaign of the Ming Dynasty was held.

The goal of this battle is very clear, that is, with this battle, the entire nine counties in the north of the Ming Dynasty will be taken in one fell swoop, so that the Ming Empire will unify the entire north of Daxia.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty will have no enemies in the north direction, and can directly border the Titan Giant Kingdom across the strait.

In this way, the Ming Empire will expand the forces it influences from the Titan Giant Kingdom to the area controlled by the Celestial Wolf Tribe in the north, and a large area of land in the middle of these three will be under the control of the Ming Empire's military alliance.

This strategic policy is extremely important, and it has a very great strategic significance for the development of the Saturn continent strategy in the future.

Another point is that after taking these nine counties, the population of the Ming Empire will directly exceed 50 million, thus reaching the population standard of a real empire.

At that time, the Ming Empire will be able to raise the number of troops to more than 1.2 million people. When you have such military strength, you can launch a full-scale attack on the territory of Great Xia.

The high-ranking military personnel who attended the military meeting included Wei Chen, the secretary of the Ming Imperial Military Department, the squire of the Ming Military Department, and Wen Heng, the newly appointed director of the Army Department of the Military Department and the Military Security Department of the Military Department. Wang Xing, commander of the First Army of the Ming Army.

As well as Benjamin, the commander of the Second Army of the Ming Army, the commander of the Third Army, Belov, the commander of the Fourth Army, Fleming, the commander of the Fifth Army, Lucien, the commander of the Sixth Army, Williams Carter, and the commander of the Seventh Army, Wells Carter.

It can be seen that Wen Jiming really takes care of his team members and friends, and arranges all of them to important positions.

Even Zheng Yu and Shi Zhiyan, although they joined the army relatively late, Wen Jiming still arranged them as temporary acting division commanders.

At the same time, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Andrei Ronald, the Deputy Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Nick Waldin, the Grand Master of the Templar Order, Linton Cook, and the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, Newman Masson, were also present.

At present, all the cavalry units of the Ming Empire have been divided into these three knights, and the entire three knights have grown to have 16,000 cavalry, including 10,000 in the Teutonic Knights, and 3,000 each in the Hospital and Templar Orders.

Wen Jiming stood in front of the large map in the conference room, pointed to the northernmost counties of Great Xia on the map, and began to explain the meaning of this northern battle to everyone.

"Everyone, please look at the map, to the north of our Ming Empire, the Great Xia Dynasty currently has nine counties. The nine counties are Lin'an, Beiling, Wujiang, Anyang, Yunshan, Qingyang, Jingyang, and Siping. ”

"The topography of these nine counties is mostly mountainous, especially Yunshan itself is the second highest mountain in the territory of Great Xia, which is rich in mineral resources, has the largest gold mine in Great Xia, and the Qingyang County near it has the second largest silver mine in Great Xia. These resources are very important to us. ”

"The purpose of our military operation this time is to take down the nine northern counties in one fell swoop, so as to unify the entire northern part of Great Xia. In this way, our Ming Empire can directly border our ally, the Titan Kingdom, to the north. ”

"In this campaign, we will send troops in the form of a corps, divided into seven routes, each corps will be led by the corps commander himself, each will send two divisions, and the other three knights will jointly send 10,000 cavalry, led by Andrei as a mobile reserve"

"The troops used in this operation will reach 360,000 people, which is the largest military operation in the history of our Ming Empire, and I hope that everyone will work together to complete this military operation perfectly."

After Wen Jiming finished speaking, Wei Chen, the secretary of the military department, stood up and gave instructions on the specific action goals of each legion.

"The plan formulated by our military department is like this, considering that the strength of the First Army is very strong, in this operation, the First Army will start from Heishui Mansion and be responsible for occupying Lin'an County alone, and Andre's cavalry troops will be responsible for your attack first."

"The Second and Third Army Corps, also from Heishui Mansion, are responsible for attacking Anyang County, the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps are responsible for the attack on Wujiang County from Yanshan Mansion, and the remaining Sixth Army Corps and Seventh Army Corps are also from Yanshan Mansion and are responsible for the occupation of Beiling County."

"When each corps occupies its first target, it will go directly north and continue to attack the next target, and the corps will give instructions on the next step according to the specific situation after each corps has completed its mission."

"The tasks given to the legions have now been assigned, do you have anything else to ask about the arrangements for this military operation?"

The several corps commanders present all shook their heads, in their opinion, the military headquarters' operational arrangements this time tended to be conservative, after all, with the current strength of two divisions and regiments, they were completely capable of occupying a county.

However, at present, the Daxia county bordering the north of the Ming Dynasty only has four counties of Lin'an, Anyang, Wujiang and Beiling, and the other five counties are in the north of these four counties, and it is impossible to carry out a cross-county attack.

Therefore, everyone has no objection to this military plan.

Seeing that everyone had no objections to this plan, Wei Chen gave a specific time arrangement.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then I order!"

Hearing this, all the generals stood upright.

"The military operation is scheduled for 9 o'clock in the morning on the 10th of this month, and all the regiments must assemble at the designated place on the 9th of this month, and launch a unified attack at 9 o'clock on the 10th.

"Salute!"

Following the command of Wang Xing, the officer on duty at the meeting, all the officers saluted collectively, and then watched Wen Jiming, Wei Chen and other high-ranking officials walk out of the large conference room.

Afterwards, everyone packed up their papers and left, and each returned to his unit for troop mobilization and pre-war mobilization.

After Wen Jiming left the military department building, he drove directly to the Magic Research Institute.

He could now craft fifteen-meter-sized objects, so he urgently needed to find Aristock so that he could make something that could be transformed on Earth.

Fifteen minutes later, Wen Jiming drove his car to the Magic Research Institute, and after parking his car in the courtyard, Wen Jiming hurriedly walked to the Aristock office on the second floor.

At this time, Aristock was frowning at a machine, and when he saw Wen Jiming pushing the door in, he immediately screamed happily.

"Thank goodness you were finally willing to come out, I thought you had let your ladies drain you!"

How is it squeezed dry again!

Am I so weak in your eyes?

So Wen Jiming asked Aristock a little angrily.

"I said, where did you see that I was squeezed dry?"

Aristock took a closer look at Wen Jiming, noticed the difference, and asked in surprise.

"Oh my God, you're not going to level up again, are you?"

Boss Wen raised his eyebrows and replied triumphantly.

"That's right, now I'm just one step away from breaking through to the legendary existence, right?"

Aristock was hit again and began to gnash his teeth.

"Are you still human? Leveling up is like fun, I doubt you're still human! ”

Hey! Are you still a human now?

Wen Jiming also began to doubt himself, because he had found the golden blood flowing in his veins more than once.

After all, how can human blood be golden, and the more real Wen Jiming was almost about to settle down on the spot, and after self-investigation, Aristok, who saw the signs, hurriedly persuaded him.

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if you're not human anymore, you're still my friend anyway. Tell me, what's the matter with me? ”

Aristock's words moved Wen Jiming a little.

When he heard Aristock's question, he picked him up and walked out, talking as he went.

"I can change some big guys now, let's go to the storeroom now, the place is big, I'm going to change a few things for you to see."

At nine o'clock in the morning of October 10 in the second year of the Ming Empire, the 360,000 troops of the Ming Empire, divided into eight teams, launched an attack on the four counties of Daxia located in the north of the Ming Dynasty at the same time.

The battle of the Ming Empire to unify the entire northern part of Great Xia has begun!
