Chapter 194: South to North, Third Rank Kingdom!
Tang State and Dak attacked the city-state of Tara, which attracted the attention of the entire Aztec Alliance.
The war begins.
Relying on the tactic of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, the Tang army successfully captured the westernmost Sac County.
Until then.
The Xihai Province only sent 100,000 coalition troops for reinforcements, but they still could not stop the Tang army.
You must know that the Guards Corps, Longxiang Corps and Tiance Corps that are on this expedition are all third-level warriors, some are even fourth-level warriors, and they are all fully staffed.
How can it be resisted by mere coalition forces?
Under the crisis, Eric, the representative of the city-state of Tara, and Gale, the representative of the West Sea Province, frequently waved their flags at the alliance council, demonstrated their strong relationship, and requested other provinces to send reinforcements.
"Once the Tara Province is occupied by the Tang Kingdom, the consequences will be disastrous!" Gale said.
Finally, he persuaded other provinces to send reinforcements to the city of Tara, hoping to use this as a battlefield for another head-on confrontation with the Tang State.
But before the reinforcements from various provinces were in place, Boyie County in the east was declared to have fallen again.
In less than a week, the city-state of Tacheng was reduced from the original four counties to only the base camp Aogu County and the northernmost Weeden County.
It looks very much like the original River Valley Province.
But just as reinforcements from the Aztec Alliance were in place, Tang State took the initiative to call a truce and seemed to be satisfied with the results achieved so far.
As a result, the Aztec League was neither superior nor inferior.
For the coalition forces from various provinces, it was barely acceptable to ask them to assist in defense within the city.
But they were totally unwilling to go out and fight the Tang army in the wild, or even attack the city that had been occupied by the Tang army.
The casualties are too great!
The coalition forces of various provinces do not have siege bugs such as magic crystal cannons, giants, and bone dragons.
The situation became deadlocked immediately.
………
July 12, sunny.
Just as the war in Tala Province entered a stalemate, the Tang State made a high-profile announcement that it would annex Dak as a whole and bring the entire Tala Province into its territory.
Grant, the former Lord of Dark, was appointed governor of Tara Province.
He was also the second governor-general under the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as the news came out, the Aztec Alliance immediately exploded. On the national channel, countless Aztec players went crazy @Grant, calling him a traitor and traitor.
But so what?
The curses of ordinary people cannot change the fact that Tara Province has been annexed by the Tang State.
Privately.
Some even envied Grant for finally landing successfully.
Compared with being a lord with an uncertain future, becoming the governor of a province is almost a very human minister, and it is also a height that most lords cannot reach in the end.
Can you not be envious?
In addition to Grant himself, a group of Grant's followers also found a good home.
For example, Grant's most trusted general, Willie, has been officially appointed by Tang Jing as the commander of the Armed Guard Corps, becoming a general with a hundred thousand elite troops.
Many generals were appointed as division commanders, brigade commanders, etc.
For those who were unwilling to stay in the army, a few were appointed as governors, not in Tara Province, but were transferred to the Northern Province or the Western Province.
But he can still be considered an important member of the party.
As for the five county governors in the original Dake system, the Tang Dynasty did not remove them from their posts. They just transferred them from Tala Province and arranged them to serve in the northern and western provinces.
At the same time, officials from Chongxian Hall were added to Tara Province.
It can be regarded as a kind of "exchange service".
In order to make Grant a good example, Tang Jing took great pains.
During the truce, under the auspices of Minister of Military Affairs Du Ruhui, the integration of Lieyang prisoners of war and the Dark army was also accelerating.
The Divine Power Legion, the Divine Martial Legion, the Dragon Power Legion, the Dragon Martial Legion and the Martial Guard Legion.
All compiled in place.
With the reorganization of the five major armies in place, the old Dak system also officially collapsed.
The integration with Tang State was initially completed.
………
Chang'an City, Zhuque Palace.
"After the reorganization of Your Majesty, Shenwei, Shenwu, Longwei, Longwu and the Military Guard Corps is completed, you have three options. One is to stay in Tara Province and capture the last Aogu County and Weiden County."
"Second, Wei General Li Jing proposed to attack from the east and west, leave Senshan Fortress in the north, and attack Ika Province."
"The third is to be sent to the battlefield of Lieyang Kingdom to assist General Bai Qi in attacking Lieyang Kingdom."
Du Ruhui reported.
"Choose three!"
Tang Jing did not hesitate much, "Tang's overall expansion strategy must be from south to north. Taking advantage of the Lieyang Kingdom, the Sith Kingdom has not yet formed an alliance with the Aztec Alliance, and has not yet completed its internal integration.
The force of thunder has captured the Lieyang Kingdom. The remaining Sith Kingdom has also become something in the bag."
The Sith Kingdom itself does not occupy a large area.
To the north is the province of Tara, to the east is the Kingdom of Sun, and to the south and west is the sea.
Once the Lieyang Kingdom was occupied by the Tang Kingdom, the Sith Kingdom was completely surrounded by the Tang Kingdom. Even if it wanted to resist, it was unable to do so and could only choose to "integrate" into the Tang Kingdom.
"Weichen thinks so too."
Du Ruhui also felt that instead of competing with the Aztec Alliance city by city, it would be better to capture the entire Lieyang Kingdom first to gain enough strategic depth for the Tang Kingdom.
"Then it's settled!"
Tang Jing smiled and said, "By the way, since we want to conquer the entire Lieyang Kingdom, there is no need to retain the Mote Federation military fortress to the east of the northern province. Inform Bai Qi and capture it together."
.”
"Will this lead to an alliance between the Mote Federation and the Aztec Alliance?" Du Ruhui worried.
"If you make an alliance, make an alliance."
Tang Jing was very open-minded, "Don't the intelligence show that the integration within the Mote Federation is accelerating? The Mote people are shrewd. Even if we don't fall out, they will form an alliance with the Aztecs."
No need to say it.
It also allows the Mote Federation to continue to enjoy the dividends of the national war.
………
Augu County, Ella City.
"What's going on on the other side? Why did it stop when you said it would stop?"
After finally getting reinforcements from the alliance, the Tang Kingdom suddenly called a truce, which made Eric, the lord of Ella City and the representative of Tara City State, very uncomfortable.
It's like saying yes and hitting cotton with a punch.
"Maybe the Tang State saw our reinforcements coming and didn't want to pay too many casualties."
The speaker was Lori, the commander of the Federation Army of Tara City State.
He was the forward commander of the first batch of coalition forces and was blamed by the coalition for the defeat.
But he found a new job in Ella City.
"Tang Guo is satisfied, but what should we do?" Eric had a headache.
Win the battle.
The city-state of Tara lost half of its land.
What is even more depressing is that Grant, his long-time rival, joined the Tang Kingdom so spinelessly, leaving the city-state of Tara to face the threat from the Tang Kingdom.
Rather than being a potentially winnable Grant.
There is no way out!
Especially with the fall of Sac County and Boy County, the city-state of Tara actually existed in name only, and its voice in the Aztec Alliance also declined sharply.
Some people have already proposed that the entire city-state of Tara be integrated into the Xihai Province.
Those in the alliance should not be too realistic.
"I'm in a hurry,"
Eric's face was ferocious, and when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them hard.
………
July 15th.
The Shenwei, Shenwu, Longwei, Longwu and Wuwei regiments were teleported back to the western provinces through the teleportation array, and were under the unified control of the Hussars General Bai Qi.
For the time being, they are all incorporated into the Lieyang Army sequence.
Two days later.
The Lieyang Army suddenly launched an attack and captured the Mote Federation's war fortress in the Lieyang Kingdom.
Expelled the Mote Federation from the Lieyang Kingdom.
There is a great uproar in the Lieyang Kingdom.
"What happened? Why did the light of national war disappear?"
"It must have been done by Tang Guo."
"The Tang Dynasty does not respect martial ethics. Didn't we agree that everyone should go about their own business?"
"Don't be naive, people upstairs. In the past week, the great lords of the Federation have been flirting with the Aztec Alliance, and they want to form an alliance. The Tang State is not blind, they must have seen it."
It should be said or not.
There are still many sensible people in the Mote Federation.
"Then since Tang Guo has fallen out, should we fight back?" Some lords were unwilling to give in.
"How to kill him back?"
"That is, even the Aztec Alliance suffered defeat at the hands of the Tang State. Not long ago, it lost two counties. With the current state of the Federation, trying to fight back is tantamount to wishful thinking."
The power of the Tang State is an indisputable fact.
Just like the war fortress built in Lieyang Kingdom, the lords of Lieyang Kingdom had been unable to do anything about it, but as soon as the Tang army took action, it was conquered in half a day.
How terrifying?
"No matter what, we should speed up our internal integration."
Speaker.
It is Porter, the champion lord of the Merter Federation, and the most depressed one.
Originally, he was thinking of playing both sides of the fence between the Aztec Alliance and the Tang State, accepting the olive branch extended by the Aztec Alliance while maintaining the glory of national war.
As a result, the Tang Dynasty did not accept this method at all.
It depends.
It seems that he is not afraid of offending the Mote Federation at all.
Just do it!
Porter now only hopes to take advantage of this federal integration opportunity to increase his voice in the federation.
At least.
We also need to gain the right to speak in the province of Os.
Otherwise it would be a huge loss.
………
July 16th.
After taking the opportunity to attack the Mote Federation war fortress, Shenwei, Shenwu, Longwei, Longwu and the Wuwei Corps took advantage of the opportunity to move south and invade the eastern province of Lieyang Kingdom.
The country of Lieyang is filled with smoke.
The northern and western provinces have fallen, the central and eastern provinces are at war, and only the southernmost southern province has been spared for the time being.
But once the central provinces and eastern provinces fall, Lieyang Kingdom will be on the verge of destruction.
There is no way back.
………
July 20th.
The war in Lieyang Kingdom is still going on, but Tang Jing received good news "in advance".
"Tang Guo has met all the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?"
"upgrade!"
"Congratulations to Tang State for being promoted to a third-grade kingdom. The merit value will be +300,000 points, the territory experience value will be +30 million points, and the territory capital will be +4 million gold coins."
This is the base reward.
"The Tang Kingdom is the first territory in the world to be promoted to a third-level kingdom. All basic rewards are doubled, and an additional level 6 crystal core is awarded, with a glory value of 50 million points, three B-level talent summoning cards, and A-level summoning cards.
Two!"
"Your lord profession has been upgraded to level 42!"
"Congratulations on your territory being promoted to a third-grade kingdom. You can open another teleportation array. Please choose the location of the teleportation array."
[Friendly reminder: The permissions of the teleportation array can be set by yourself and cannot be destroyed. Please explore the specific situation by yourself. The fourth teleportation array can be set up in any city in the territory.]
Old rules.
Tang Jing was still in no hurry to place the fourth teleportation array.
[Territorial area]: 2 million/5 million square kilometers
[Territory population]: 105 million/200 million
[The annexation of Tara Province brought a population of more than 7 million to the Tang Kingdom. Together with the newly settled players and the refugees successively exchanged in the global market, the population barely exceeded the 100 million mark]
[Refugee refresh]: 500*2(n-1) people/day
[Remarks: Currently n=7, 32,000 refugees are refreshed every day]
[Political Index]: 58 (popular support)
[Economic Index]: 57 (Economic Prosperity)
[As Tang Jing injected 3 million into Changan Bank, the economic index also experienced a small rise]
[Cultural Index]: 70 (prosperous culture)
[Military Index]: 75 (strong military strength)
[The formation of the five major legions has increased the Tang military index by three points, which is very rare]
[Provinces under jurisdiction]: Valley Province, Tara Province (mostly), Northern Province, Western Province, Central Province (partially), Eastern Province (partially)
【Promotion Conditions】:
[Condition 1: 1 level 6 crystal core]
[Condition 2: The lord title is at least a second-class king]
[Condition 3: Territory population reaches the upper limit]
[Condition 4: Territory area reaches the upper limit]
[Condition 5: The four indicators of politics, economy, culture, and military must not be less than 50 points]
After being promoted to a third-grade kingdom, it is already "difficult to climb to the sky" to advance further.
The first is the territory area.
The upper limit requirement of five million square kilometers is destined to say that even taking over the entire Lieyang Kingdom will not be enough, and the Sith Kingdom must be conquered.
Or continue to conquer cities and territories in the Aztec Alliance.
Then there are the population requirements.
With the arrival of the last batch of refugees, the global market's demand for level 4 crystal cores has basically become saturated, and it is difficult to exchange for more refugees.
Even if there is sporadic demand in the future, if the demand is overwhelming, it will still be able to generate 10 million refugees.
It's too far away from the upper limit of 200 million.
If you want to solve the population problem, you have to use your brains to attract players to settle. Taking Lieyang Kingdom as an example, the total player population is as high as 55 million.
If everyone really comes down from Folding City and adds the aborigines, the problem can almost be solved.
But this is obviously unrealistic.
There are many Lieyang people who are happy to stay in Folding City and live a life of food and clothing, intoxication and dreaming, and are not willing to come to the wilderness at all.
What's more, the wilderness was occupied by the Tang State.
If a quarter of the 55 million Lieyang players chose to settle in Tang, it would be considered a blessing.
As for the players of Zunlong Kingdom.
Due to differences in customs, civilization, etc., they may be willing to settle in the Valley Province, but if they are asked to settle in Lieyang Kingdom, their willingness will be greatly reduced.
It is also difficult to recruit more people.
"let it go!"
Tang Jing is not in a hurry. Tang Guo has reached this stage and can proceed steadily.
