Chapter 168 The First Capital City in the World (Two in One)
Next week.
The City Guards Corps, Fengxiang Corps, and Flying Bear Corps advanced steadily from five fronts and finally captured Ord County, Stone County, Choctaw County, Palm County, and Kana County one by one.
Exceeded the set goals.
During this period, Lorton County and Nash County finally successfully built their cities and welcomed the coalition troops to move in.
The warring parties have entered a new period of confrontation.
Unfortunately, the five lords of the valley province, headed by Bronn, once again became victims of the war and became complete losers in this national war.
In disguise, the big lords of the alliance sucked blood again.
But Bronn was not without his contribution. The city-state idea he proposed inspired the lords of the provinces of Ika, Bute and Tara.
They realized that after nearly the entire valley fell, Chang'an had become unprecedentedly powerful.
Facing this powerful enemy, although there are still Loton County and Nash County as forward bases, Ika Province, Bute Province and Tara Province are actually on the front line of the confrontation between the two sides.
There is no way out anymore.
Under this situation, if the three major provinces still maintain the previous loose council structure, they may not be able to cope with this unprecedented crisis.
There must be more unity.
The formation of the city-state of Ika, the city-state of Bit and the city-state of Tara was put on the agenda by the lords of the three provinces.
In order to advance and retreat together.
Among the three major provinces, the more special one is the Province of Tara.
In the past week, Grant's troops had taken the opportunity to capture Lanxi County, Louis County and Darke County in the east of Tara Province, occupying nearly one-third of the territory of Tara Province.
Even if the city-state of Tara is formed, it will still face competition with Grant.
After gaining a foothold in Tara Province, and seeing Chang'an's momentum booming, Grant also "kept his promise" and used the "migration token" to move the lord's mansion from Pelican County to Duck County, far away from Chang'an.
Then he "ceded" Pelican County to Chang'an.
………
April 28, Chang'an City.
Just after the Second Cavalry Division of the Guards Corps conquered the entire territory of Obsidian County and this round of conquest came to an end, Tang Jing received a rare system prompt——
"Congratulations to Chang'an for expanding its territory in the national war and achieving another great victory. As a reward, you will receive 5 level 5 crystal cores and a glory value of 15 million points."
pretty!
Tang Jing was worrying about where to get level 5 crystal cores, but the system generously rewarded five of them.
Now there is no need to worry about advancing the territory!
As for the glory points, in addition to the 15 million points rewarded by the system, Tang Jing also gained a total of 22.5 million points in the process of conquering the six counties.
Add the remainder from before.
The glory value in Tang Jing's hand reached an astonishing 40 million points, which could buy 200,000 sets of foot armor.
Very scary.
In the past week, the three armies were busy attacking cities and territories on the front lines, and Tang Jing was not idle at the rear either.
Busy taking over land.
The addition of six counties in one go more than tripled the area of Chang'an.
The county governor alone has to appoint six people.
Tang Jing could only promote Guo Yundao, the magistrate of Joaquin County from Chongxian Hall, to the magistrate of Pelican County; Jiang Jing, the magistrate of Macomb County, was promoted to the magistrate of Cana County.
Guard the two most important places for him.
The remaining candidates for the four county governors and more than 60 county magistrates can only be recruited from the indigenous people or recruited from the Zunlong Kingdom.
This will inevitably break the balance between the indigenous people and the player officials.
You can only make do with it first.
The Zunlong Kingdom players were quite enthusiastic. They learned that Chang'an had won another great victory and was about to occupy the entire valley province, so they rushed to settle in Chang'an.
"Even if you can't get Chang'an City household registration, you can still get a county household registration."
Tang Jing does not refuse players who apply for naturalization in Chang'an.
They are all talents!
In addition to appointing county governors and county magistrates, Tang Jing also dispersed and resettled the refugees traded in the global market to various counties. Also sent with them were various architectural drawings and materials.
to fill the gaps in each county.
To be honest, the six counties captured this time have better innate conditions than Macon County and Bay County.
First thing.
Before the end of the war, the walls of at least one city in each county had been completed.
Save yourself the embarrassment of not having a county seat.
Secondly, the land of the six counties has been fully developed by the Aztec lords. All the cultivated land that should be cultivated has been cultivated, and many of them have even been planted with crops.
As for the construction of towns and villages, it is even more perfect.
Whether it is refugees who have moved to various counties or counties, or players who have applied for naturalization, they can all move in with their bags. Coupled with the strong support of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, the basic conditions are extremely superior.
It won't be long before the entire river valley province will become the Aztec continent. To be precise, it should be the most prosperous and most developed region in the entire Blue Star.
It’s no wonder that it attracts so many Dragon Kingdom players.
As for the population and materials taken away by the lords of the six counties, they can be replenished in a short time thanks to the 15 million refugees Tang Jing traded from the global market.
There is even a surplus.
The same goes for supplies. In addition to being fed by the lord of Zunlong Kingdom, Tang Jing also buys and buys in the global market.
It has long since become the world’s largest buyer.
………
Early the next morning.
The system prompt sounded again in Tang Jing's ears.
"Chang'an County has met all the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?"
"upgrade!"
"Chang'an County is upgraded to a third-level county, with merit points +3,000 points and territory experience points +300,000 points."
This is a regular reward.
"Chang'an County is the first territory in the world to be promoted to a third-level county. The basic reward is doubled, and an additional B-level talent summoning card and a special building Hongwen Hall will be awarded!"
[Name]: Hongwen Museum (only)
[Category]: Special buildings
[Function]: The qualifications of indigenous people can be tested, and those with good qualifications can be transferred to capable officials.
"Your lord profession has been upgraded to level 30!"
[Political Index]: 35 (preliminary public support)
[Economic Index]: 35 (initial results)
[Cultural Index]: 25 (Cultural Desert)
[Under the influence of the "Global Construction Accelerator Card", the hardware facilities of Chang'an University have been fully completed]
[Military Index]: 65 (strong military strength)
[Affiliated Counties]: Bay County, Macon County, Pelican County, Choctaw County, Palm County, Kana County, Ord County, and Stone County
【Promotion Conditions】:
[Condition 1: 1 level 5 crystal core]
[Condition 2: The title of lord is at least third-class marquis]
[Condition 3: Territory population reaches the upper limit]
[Condition 4: The four indicators of politics, economy, culture, and military must not be less than 25 points]
[Condition 5: Have at least three affiliated counties]
The next stage after the county seat is the capital city, and among the five conditions for promotion to the capital city, except for the title, Chang'an has now met all of them.
The main reason is that there are no new requirements for the four indicators of politics, economy, culture, and military.
This is the beginning.
For Tang Jing, a title or something was the simplest requirement.
He took a look at the title and found that the current merit value was 76,000 points, which was only 24,000 points away from the 100,000 merit points required by the third-class marquis.
So why are you hesitating?
Immediately consume 5 million glory points and convert them into 500,000 merit points.
"Your title has been promoted to the third degree of Marquis!"
"Your title has been promoted to second class Marquis!"
"Your title has been promoted to First Class Marquis!"
He went right to the spot in one go and changed his title from first-class earl to first-class marquis in one go.
I have just been promoted to a noble title.
The familiar system prompt sounded again in Tang Jing's ears——
"Chang'an County has met all the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?"
"upgrade!"
"Chang'an County is upgraded to a first-level capital, with merit points +5,000 points and territory experience points +500,000 points."
This is a regular reward.
"Chang'an County is the first territory in the world to be promoted to a first-level capital. The basic reward is doubled, and an additional B-level talent summoning card and an A-level talent summoning card are awarded!"
Oops!
Tang Jing finally got the A-level card he had been dreaming of. He didn't know what kind of super boss he would be able to summon later, but he was very much looking forward to it.
"Your lord profession has been upgraded to level 31!"
"Hidden building the Savage Temple and unlock the last wild race - the Kuafu clan!"
"Hidden building Chongxian Pavilion, unlock nine summoning places!"
[Remarks: Currently n=6, 1,600 refugees are refreshed every day]
--slightly--
【Promotion Conditions】:
[Condition 1: 1 level 5 crystal core]
[Condition 2: The title of lord is at least second-class marquis]
[Condition 3: Territory population reaches the upper limit]
[Condition 4: The four indicators of politics, economy, culture, and military must not be less than 30 points]
[Condition 5: Have at least five affiliated counties]
After the territory entered the capital stage, the base value of the refugees was refreshed every day, soaring from the previous twenty to fifty in one fell swoop.
Combined with Chang'an's diamond-level territorial monument, 1,600 refugees can be refreshed every day.
It can add 48,000 new people every month.
It's still quite impressive.
The conditions for promotion to a second-level capital once again raised the requirements for four political, economic, cultural, and military indicators, making it impossible for Chang'an to upgrade to the third level in a row.
That’s a pity!
Tang Jing wondered if he could recruit some cultural celebrities from Zunlong Kingdom to improve the cultural index.
But think about it again.
There are no cultural celebrities in Zunlong Kingdom. There are just a lot of people who are seeking fame and reputation.
However, being successfully promoted to a first-level capital city is already a huge reward. Not only has the Savage Temple unlocked the last wild race, but the Chongxian Pavilion has also added nine new summoning places.
Thus.
The remaining vacancies for the four county guards were immediately filled.
………
After the territory was upgraded, Tang Jing did not rush to check out the Wilderness Temple and Chongxian Pavilion. Instead, he took out two B-level talent summoning cards and one A-level talent summoning card that the system had just rewarded.
A-level cards must be kept to summon generals.
For B-level cards, Tang Jing wanted to give it a try and choose a special type that he had never chosen before. He wanted to take a gamble and see if he could summon any historical and cultural celebrities.
This will enhance the cultural index of the territory.
What I can't forget in my heart is that I still want Chang'an to achieve the miracle of being upgraded to three levels in a row.
"call!"
Two white lights flashed, and two scribes appeared in front of Tang Jing.
"Du Fu!"
"Zhu Xi!"
"Meet the adults!"
"Oooh!"
Tang Jing was really lucky, he really summoned two big names in the cultural world.
Everyone knows the poet Du Fu, right?
When he was a boy, Du Fu traveled to Wuyue, Qi and Zhao successively, during which time he went to Luoyang but failed to pass the examination.
After the age of thirty-five, he first took the examination in Chang'an and failed. Later, he presented gifts to the emperor and gave gifts to nobles. He failed in officialdom and witnessed the extravagance and social crisis of the upper class of the Tang Dynasty.
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the Anshi Rebellion broke out and Tongguan fell. Du Fu moved to many places.
In the second year of Qianyuan, he abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he escaped the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the common people and national affairs. He created "Ascend the High", "Spring View", "Northern Expedition", "Three Officials", "Three Farewells", etc.
Masterpiece.
About 1,500 poems in his lifetime have been preserved, most of which are collected in "Du Gongbu Collection".
In the winter of the fifth year of the Dali calendar, Du Fu died of illness at the age of fifty-nine.
………
Zhu Xi, a master of Neo-Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty.
His ancestral home is Wuyuan County, Huizhou Prefecture, and he was born in Youxi, Nanjian Prefecture.
Zhu Xi passed the Jinshi examination at the age of nineteen. He served as the prefect of Nankang in Akarin Province, the prefect of Zhangzhou in Fujian, and the governor of eastern Zhejiang. He was an upright and promising official and promoted the construction of academies.
The official worshiped Huanzhang Pavilion as a minister and lecturer, and gave lectures to Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty.
In his later years, he was banned by the Qingyuan Party and was listed as the "leader of pseudo-academics", and was demoted from his official position and enshrined in the shrine.
He died in the sixth year of Qingyuan at the age of seventy-one.
Later, he was posthumously given the title of Grand Master and Duke of Hui State, and was given the posthumous title of "Wen". In his later life, he was called Zhu Wengong.
Zhu Xi was a student of Li Tong, the third disciple of "Er Cheng". Together with Er Cheng, he was known as the "Cheng-Zhu School". He was also the only person who was not a direct disciple of Confucius and was enshrined in the Confucius Temple and ranked among the twelve philosophers of Dacheng Hall.
This shows its status in Confucianism.
He was the master of Neo-Confucianism and a representative figure of Fujian studies. He was honored as Zhu Zi by later generations. His Neo-Confucian thoughts had a great influence and became the official philosophy of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Zhu Xi wrote many works in his life, including Annotations on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books, Interpretation of Tai Chi Pictures, Interpretation of Tongshu, Readings of Zhouyi, and Annotations on Chu Ci. Later generations compiled "The Complete Works of Zhu Zi" and "Collection of Zhu Zi's Yuxiang".
Among them, "Collected Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books" has become an imperial textbook and the standard for imperial examinations.
………
"Okay, okay!"
Feeling that he was extremely lucky, Tang Jing couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
With the addition of poet sage Du Fu and Neo-Confucian scholar Zhu Xi, Chang'an's cultural index has soared from the previous 25 points to a terrifying 40 points, removing the label of "cultural desert" in one fell swoop.
It can be seen from this that cultural celebrities have a blessing effect on the territorial cultural index.
And as the cultural index showed, Chang'an finally met all the conditions for promotion to a second-level capital.
In Tang Jing's ear.
The familiar system prompt sounded again——
"Chang'an has met all the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?"
"upgrade!"
"Chang'an is upgraded to a second-level capital, with merit points +10,000 points and territory experience points +1 million points."
This is a regular reward.
"Chang'an is the first territory in the world to be promoted to a second-level capital. The basic reward is doubled, and an additional 2 B-level talent summoning cards are awarded!"
"Your lord profession has been upgraded to level 32!"
[Political Index]: 35 (preliminary public support)
[Economic Index]: 35 (initial results)
[Cultural Index]: 40 (prosperous culture)
[Military Index]: 65 (strong military strength)
【Promotion Conditions】:
[Condition 1: 1 level 5 crystal core]
[Condition 2: The title of lord is at least first-class marquis]
[Condition 3: Territory population reaches the upper limit]
[Condition 4: The four indicators of politics, economy, culture, and military must not be less than 35 points]
[Condition 5: Have at least seven affiliated counties]
Among the five conditions, although the four indicators of politics, economy, culture, and military have raised the requirements, Chang'an still meets all the conditions for promotion.
You can keep racing!
In one fell swoop, he accomplished the great feat of being upgraded to four levels in a row.
"Chang'an has met all the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?"
"upgrade!"
"Chang'an is upgraded to a third-level capital, with merit points +20,000 points and territory experience points +2 million points."
This is a regular reward.
"Chang'an is the first territory in the world to be promoted to a third-level capital. The basic reward is doubled, and an additional B-level talent summoning card and an A-level talent summoning card are awarded!"
"Your lord profession has been upgraded to level 34!"
[Condition 2: The lord’s title is at least a third-class Duke]
[Condition 3: Territory population reaches the upper limit]
[Condition 4: The four indicators of politics, economy, culture, and military must not be less than 40 points]
[Condition 5: Occupy at least one province]
[Condition 6: Own the Imperial Seal]
[Condition 7: Own the sacred beast that protects the country]
From the third-level capital city onwards, it is necessary to establish a dynasty and establish a principality, so the promotion task naturally becomes the task of founding a country.
Among the seven conditions, Changan currently only meets conditions 3 and 7.
Zhuque Xiaohong.
Isn’t it the most suitable divine beast to protect the country?
Condition 2 was also easy to handle. Tang Jing did not hesitate and once again spent 5 million glory points very arrogantly, converting it into 500,000 merit points, raising his title from first-class marquis to third-class duke in one fell swoop.
Only he, a destroyer of national wars, dared to use glory points so unscrupulously.
Other lords wouldn't even dare to think about it.
The remaining four are very difficult to handle.
The level 6 crystal core in condition 1 needs to kill a level 6 expert, which is impossible even if you think about it.
Condition 4: It’s the political and economic indicators that are not up to standard. It takes time to manage the territory and slowly accumulate knowledge to gain promotion.
Condition 5 requires the destruction of Loton County and Nash County.
There are currently nearly half a million coalition troops stationed in the two counties, and the coalition forces have strong cities to defend, so it is also difficult to handle.
Condition 6 of the Imperial Seal is also unclear at the moment.
Just wait!
But it doesn't matter. Chang'an was promoted to four levels in a day. Tang Jing was already satisfied. He left a mark in the development history of "Star Boundary" lords.
Absolutely awesome!
No, even the system can’t stand it anymore, so I sent a congratulations.
"Chang'an has been promoted to four levels in one day, which is unprecedented. We are specially rewarded with one million gold coins, five C-level summoning cards, three B-level summoning cards, and five magic crystal cannons. I would like to congratulate you!"
