Chapter 701 - 347: The Governor’s Power! A Rift with Fu Lingxi?
Rage Wave Kingdom consists of eleven provinces, with the Southeast Province ranking third.
Aside from Tianshui City and Linhai City, there are also two noble families in the territory of the Southeast Province: Ironwood City and Qichi City.
These two families are much smaller in strength, owning merely two hundred miles of territory and a population of several hundred thousand.
In addition to the four noble families, the Southeast Province also has six counties, totaling about several hundred thousand square kilometers.
With the six counties and the four noble families’ territory combined, the entire Southeast Province has a population of nine million.
To thoroughly control the Southeast Province, a single edict is definitely not enough.
The military obstacles are not significant, as Duke Zhi Wei had previously pulled out all the military forces from the Southeast Province to eradicate Suo Lun, suffering casualties of over a hundred thousand, and more than forty thousand captured.
Today, either dead in battle or captured, most of the military and major generals of the Southeast Province have been completely wiped out.
The key lies in the local officials led by the prefectural governors of the six counties; they are the direct rulers of the Southeast Province.
