Chapter 139: Saturn's Professionals Association
The rapid offensive of the Ming Empire's army caught the princes of the four counties off guard.
At the same time, the eight armies took the four counties of Lin'an, Anyang, Wujiang and Beiling on the 10th, and then continued to march north.
Think about it, the army of ancient times is simply unable to compete with the Ming army equipped with modern weapons. What's more, the army of the Ming Dynasty is also equipped with a large number of professionals at the same time. The entire campaign was almost a one-sided massacre.
When this extremely unequal battle was carried out until October 28th. After the last county in the north, Siping County, was occupied, it finally came to a successful end, and the battle of northern unification ended completely on this day.
Due to the disparity between the warring sides, in almost every battle, the Great Xia army began to surrender not long after the battle began.
Therefore, in the whole campaign, the Ming army only annihilated less than 50,000 people, but captured as many as 650,000 troops from various counties of Great Xia.
All the princes of the nine counties, without exception, were arrested this time, and Wen Jiming, after confiscating all their real estate, gold and silver, only let them keep their own treasures and copper coins, and expelled these former nobles from the country.
But the income of gold and silver was a big surprise to Wen Jiming, after the whole battle, the value of gold and silver captured by the Ming army actually reached 120 million gold dollars, which made Wen Jiming ecstatic when he heard the news.
Before the end of the year, the Ming Empire actually made a large amount of war money. At the end of this year, King Wen can give out benefits again and buy people's hearts!
Wen Jiming already knew the outcome of this campaign, which is also an important reason why he did not participate in this campaign, it was too unnecessary.
This is a battle that does not belong to a power level at all, and there is no need for him to come forward to take charge, not to mention, this can also cultivate the experience of these new legion commanders of their own family to lead the troops in battle alone.
After taking the nine northern counties, the Ming Empire now has twenty-one counties of the original Great Xia Dynasty, accounting for a quarter of the territory of Great Xia, and it is now very necessary to add new provincial-level administrative units.
After discussing with the cabinet, Wen Jiming ordered the establishment of the Henan Provincial Governor Yamen, setting up the post of Henan Governor, with the south of the Heishui River as the boundary, and governing Jinshan Mansion, Hanyin Mansion, Chen County Mansion, Wu County Mansion, and Yanshan Mansion.
The governor of Hebei Province was added to the yamen, and the governor of Hebei was set up, with the north of the Heishui River as the boundary, and governed Heishui Mansion, Lin'an Mansion, Beiling Mansion, Wujiang Mansion and Anyang Mansion.
The Yamen of the Governor of Shandong Province was added, and the Governor of Shandong was set up, with the northeastern part of Yunshan Mountain as the boundary, and governed Yunshan Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, Anqing Mansion, Jingyang Mansion and Siping Mansion.
The former Hanzhong Province established the Hanzhong Governor Yamen, set up a governor, and governed Hedong Prefecture, Hexi Prefecture, Sichuan Shang Prefecture, Sichuan Central Prefecture and Xiachuan Prefecture.
Chengdu Prefecture no longer accepted the jurisdiction of Hanzhong Province and was changed to the central government.
At this time, it is already close to November, winter is just around the corner, and the continent of Saturn is once again in the season of natural truce.
After all, in this era, if you fight in winter, it is purely an act of death, and even the Ming army, which already has the ability to fight in winter, will not choose to go to war for no reason at this time.
On November 1st, the Saturn Continent Professionals Association, which has been in preparation for more than half a year, was finally established in the Magic New City!
Wen Jiming was recommended by the association as the honorary president, and the legendary mage Herodotus was elected as the president of the association.
The hall of the association was built in front of the newly built magic tower representing the three legends of the legal system, and the magic tower about 100 meters high in Chinese Jiming is very eye-catching, and has now become a landmark building of the new magic city.
At ten o'clock in the morning, distinguished guests from all over the world came to the hall of the Saturn Professionals Association, including the president of the Kansa City Mercenary Association and the president of the Bounty Hunters Association.
The president of the Pan-Legendary Association was on the edge of the continent and could not come back in time, so he appointed Wen Jiming's old acquaintance, the president of the Kansa City Council and the vice president of the Pan-Legendary Association, Master Lucas, to congratulate him on his behalf.
As the monarch, Wen Jiming was no longer suitable to greet the guests in front, so he had to be greeted by the old mage Herodotus and responsible for receiving them in front of the association.
He himself stayed in the hall of the association, waiting for the guests to be seen.
When the president of the Adventurer's Mercenary Guild and the president of the Bounty Hunter Guild met with Wen Jiming, they invariably made the same request, they wanted to open a branch in the Magic New City, and asked Wen Jiming if he could give approval.
Wen Jiming naturally couldn't ask for it, after all, these two associations are still very helpful in cultivating the experience of professionals, not to mention, since they have decided to build Magic New City into an international city, an institution of their nature will play a great role.
Therefore, Wen Jiming expressed great support for his request, approved their request on the spot to purchase land for the construction of the branch, and instructed the officials below to guide them to go through the procedures.
When the two presidents left the hall happily, Wen Jiming immediately met with Master Lucas, the president of the Kansa City Council.
After the two greeted each other, before Wen Jiming could welcome him, Master Lucas opened his mouth to say a shocking news.
"Our association has heard a very bad news for you, and we hope you will take it seriously. We have reliable information that there are two churches that seem to be working against you, most likely because of your rapid rise to prominence and hostility to their gods, so they are secretly trying to sabotage your plans. ”
Wen Jiming was quite surprised when he heard the news, he didn't expect that he would cause the dissatisfaction of some gods so quickly, although he had been prepared in this regard, but he still felt a little caught off guard.
"Can you tell me which gods are resentful of me?"
Master Lucas stretched out his hand and drew a magic circle that isolated the hearing and hearing, and then said to Wen Jiming cautiously.
"According to our analysis, it should be the two god systems in the north, their churches are the most aggressive among the eight major churches, and as far as I know, the number of high-level legendary and above professionals they have attracted is the most among the eight major churches."
"So, the two churches are very powerful, and they don't have the slightest scruples about doing things, and the information we received says that it is very likely that they have sent a large number of high-level professionals to help your enemies, and even sent a legendary being to lead these professionals."
"This is also the reason why I want to remind you of this, it is estimated that the legend exists, and it is very likely that it will come to the Saturn continent to trouble you, you should pay more attention."
Hearing Master Lucas's last words, Wen Jiming calmed down instead.
If it's just a legend, it means that the other party doesn't know the details of himself.
After the legend, the level can no longer represent the real strength, some legends don't even have a few legendary characteristics, and although Wen Jiming is only a sixteenth-level legendary professional, in fact, he already has a demigod physique.
What's more, Wen Jiming is full of confidence in his legal powers and legendary spells, and in his own family, there is a hidden power to be his strong backing.
What an eventful time!
Sure enough, it is impossible for people to go on smoothly all the time, but fortunately, there are only two god systems now, the two god systems of Aode God and Heavenly Court, and they are still in a very friendly stage with themselves, and they don't need to be particularly nervous at the moment.
Suddenly, Wen Jiming remembered that he still didn't know anything about these two hostile churches, and hurriedly asked Master Lucas for advice.
"Master, what are the names of these two churches, and where is the base of their churches?"
"Karl God Cult and Winter Church, the base of their church is in the middle region of the north, and the more than 20 continents in that area are all the territory of their church."
Well, a bit of a Norman and Viking flavor. It seems that in the cold region, both gods and humans are more brave and ruthless, think of our god Odin.
However, I have been idle for a long time, and I am already a little impatient, and I urgently need a few fierce fights to change my taste!
Thinking of this, Wen Jiming couldn't help but be a little excited, he was really looking forward to it!
PS: There is not much space in Great Xia, this quest will end soon, and the protagonist is about to enter a high-level battle.
By the way, ask for various tickets, are there any? Bang Bang Bang!
