Wang Ping received the order and after firing three waves of swords in succession, he sent people to seize the warship, set fire to the navy camp, and then turned the ship around without hesitation and headed towards the North Camp of the Yangzhou Navy.
The Yangzhou Navy's Beida Camp is the main force of the Yangzhou Navy. However, the camp is now empty as most of the ships have gone to pursue Zhou Ye.
Wang Yue captured Beida Camp without hesitation, captured all the craftsmen in the camp and put them on ships, and burned the camp here. Then he went north to prepare to ambush the Yangzhou Navy who was pursuing Zhou Ye.
…
When Wang Yue arrived, Zhou Ye was indeed in trouble. Even though Wang An was harassing the Yangzhou navy along the way, some ships still caught up with Youzhou merchant ships.
But Zhou Ye was already prepared. There were many archers on the ship, and he led some guards to protect him. For a while, the Yangzhou navy was unable to board the ship.
The two sides chased and fought, and the stalemate lasted for a while. Because Wang An and his soldiers and horses attacked from time to time along the way, the Yangzhou navy was unable to deal with Zhou Ye's Youzhou merchant ship wholeheartedly, so there was no way to deal with Zhou Ye.
.
The commander of the Yangzhou Navy was furious. He was a confidant of Wang Shanquan. He had no choice but to take advantage of Zhou Ye, so he prepared to take some food first. Wang An led thousands of soldiers and horses.
Wang An did not expect that the Yangzhou Navy would abandon Zhou Ye and use all its strength to deal with them. Without noticing, he was blocked on a long and narrow peninsula.
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, he had no choice but to stay and fight. He quickly organized a defense on the spot, preparing to cut off a piece of flesh from the Yangzhou Navy.
The Yangzhou Navy is actually quite embarrassed now. Unless they abandon the ship and land ashore, there is nothing they can do against Wang An and the others. They can only block Wang An's way and wait for the reinforcements on land to surround them, so they send out a signal for help.
.
When Wang Yue saw that the fireworks were different from those in Qingzhou, he understood that this was a signal for the Yangzhou Navy to ask for help.
So, he ordered Wang Ping to rush in the direction of the signal, and also asked the Yangzhou ships they had captured to rush to the front, but most of the ships were filled with kerosene.
His trick worked as expected. The commander of the Yangzhou Navy discovered that the ship coming was from the East Camp of the Yangzhou Navy, and thought he had received an order to come to help.
Therefore, the Yangzhou Navy was unprepared and was overwhelmed by the sudden sword rain. In no time, the Yangzhou Navy was a little confused. By the time they reacted, they had already endured two or three waves of arrow rain.
Because there was no time to defend, most of the people on the Yangzhou Navy ship were damaged. As a result, before he could organize a counterattack, Wang Yue had already set fire to the warships captured from Dongda camp.
The warships led everyone into the Yangzhou Pool and quickly rushed into the fleet. It was like onychomycosis. One infection infected two people, and most of the Yangzhou Navy's ships were instantly set on fire.
As a result, the Yangzhou soldiers on the warship who had no time to escape quickly jumped off the ship and swam upward. Wang An, who happened to be aware of the fighting here, was captured again.
The ambush ended as quickly as it started. The navy of Yangzhou Beida Camp was wiped out without much resistance.
From then on, the Yangzhou Navy only had the West Camp to defend Jingzhou in the west, and there was no longer any protection on the northeastern sides.
After this battle, although Wang Yue did not capture any ships, he captured more than 20,000 experienced naval troops, which could quickly expand his naval strength.
So, Wang Yue simply left without any hurry. He arranged for people to set up camp on the spot. After preparing to have a full meal, he would go to Yangzhou to cause trouble. If he could take the opportunity to take over the West Camp of the Yangzhou Navy, then Yangzhou would
The waters belong to Qingzhou.
Of course, it may also be a place where navies from other states are rampant. After all, no one can give Yangzhou another chance to build a navy.
…
While Wang Yue was burying pots and making rice, several merchant ships came from the northern waterway. After the ships approached cautiously, they found that they were ships from Qingzhou, and then they speeded up.
After Wang Yue discovered these ships first, he immediately reported them to Wang Yue. He came to the bow of the ship and looked at the merchant ships before he could leave. He found that they were all signs of Youzhou. He immediately understood who the person coming was. It was probably him.
's second brother.
Sure enough, not long after, when they came to the bow of the boat, someone shouted loudly, "Is it brother? Why did you come here in person?"
Wang Yue sighed and said helplessly, "It's me. Something happened in Yangzhou City. I was worried that something went wrong on your side. After dealing with the Yangzhou incident, I came here to provide support."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jiusi, who heard the commotion here, also came over. He excitedly said to Zhou Ye, "Second brother, I have become a wanted criminal!"
Zhou Ye didn't know what Gu Jiusi was talking about, so he asked with some confusion, "What do you mean? Who wants you?"
Wang Yue sighed, and then said seriously, "The King of Liang rebelled. Wang Shanquan said that the Gu family was a member of King Liang's party, and he was going to raid the Gu family's house. I led people to cause trouble and rescued the Liu family, the Gu family, and the Ye family."
Zhou Ye was a little stunned after hearing Wang Yue's words. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Brother, what should we do next?"
Wang Yue shrugged and said nonchalantly, "What can I do? I told you that I want to go back to Qingzhou to carry out reforms, and I am not in the mood to care about the intrigue between Prince Liang and the Emperor."
Zhou Ye saw that Wang Yue was not prepared to interfere in the affairs of the world, so he nodded and said helplessly, "Well, originally I thought that Governor Fan would definitely send troops to rescue the imperial capital, so I wanted Qingzhou to join us, so that the world would be peaceful.
It can be pacified earlier so that the people of Li will suffer less, but your matter is equally important, so I will no longer advise you."
Seeing Zhou Ye's seriousness, Wang Yue also put aside his playful thoughts and said seriously, "On your way north, you can tell the refugees along the way that if you really have no home to go, you can come to Qingzhou to seek refuge with me.
I can’t guarantee that, at least after coming to Qingzhou, I won’t let them starve to death.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that Wang Yue understood the righteousness so well, Zhou Ye bowed deeply to Wang Yue, and then solemnly said, "Brother, this move must be
If thousands of families have Buddhas, I bow to you on behalf of the people of Dayong."
Gu Jiusi saw that the two of them were chatting so heavily and said helplessly, "Eldest brother, second brother has something to do, but I have nothing to do, eh!"
Zhou Ye saw that Gu Jiusi was looking for something to do. He rolled his eyes and said quickly, "Third brother, don't you still have part of your Gu family's property in Youzhou? Why don't you come to Youzhou to join me and let your uncle and aunt
Come to Qingzhou and enjoy the blessings."
After hearing Zhou Ye's words, Gu Jiusi couldn't help but frowned and thought. After a while, he said solemnly, "Big brother and second brother, let's chat first. I'll go tell my parents and my wife. Let's see."
Let’s see what they suggest.”
Zhou Ye nodded and quickly urged Gu Jiusi to go quickly. After all, they couldn't spend too much time here.
After Wang Yue waited for Gu Jiusi to leave, he said helplessly, "Second brother, it's true that you invited third brother to go to Youzhou with him even though you knew that he couldn't help it. Why do you need to involve the Gu family again?"
Woolen cloth?"
Zhou Ye was afraid that Wang Yue would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Brother, now King Liang is rebelling, and everyone knows that Princess Liang is Gu Jiusi's uncle. If he doesn't take the opportunity to occupy this position of the crusade alliance, everyone in the world will be wiped out in the future.
As for the rebellion of King Liang, the Gu family does not have a good reputation. After all, the Gu family is too rich, and everyone will think that the rebellion of King Liang is supported by the Gu family."
Of course Wang Yue knew this, but he didn't expect Zhou Ye to speak so thoroughly. He wanted to change the subject, so he pretended to sigh and said, "It's just a farewell this time. I don't know when we will meet again.
"
Zhou Ye smiled and said boldly, "When the rebellion of King Liang is settled, my third brother and I will go to Qingzhou to have a drink with my eldest brother."
Wang Yue nodded and said happily, "In that case, the matter is settled. I will try to implement thorough reforms in Qingzhou during the time when you put down the rebellion of King Liang."
Zhou Ye knew how important Wang Yue's reforms were, so he saluted Wang Yue again, but this time he didn't say a word.
The two chatted for a while, and Gu Jiusi came over. He said to Wang Yue with some embarrassment, "Brother, my mother asked me to go to Youzhou to support Youzhou. This is considered to have cleared the relationship with King Liang. You also
I know that Qingzhou is not planning to attack King Liang, so I can only go to Youzhou to hang out with my second brother."
Wang Yue patted Gu Jiusi's shoulder and said casually, "It's okay, but you have to understand that the governor of Youzhou doesn't know when he will send troops to quell the chaos. If you want to make meritorious service in Youzhou during this period,
, is not an easy task.”
Gu Jiusi licked his lips and said with some embarrassment, "I'm just going to try it out. If it doesn't work out, please ask big brother to take me in."
Wang Yue was a little dumbfounded. This boy was sure of his elder brother. He laughed and cursed and said, "Hurry up and leave. When you come to Qingzhou, I will arrange a position for you as an accountant."
After hearing Wang Yue's words, Gu Jiusi and Zhou Ye couldn't help laughing, which also diluted some of their sadness.
…
Because the matter was urgent, Liu Siyu packed his luggage not long after, and under the escort of Wang Lang, the Gu Family Nursing Home, he and Gu Jiusi boarded the merchant ship in Youzhou.
After Wang Yue waited for them to leave, he without hesitation sent Wang Ping to lead a part of the navy to loot the large and small shipyards near Jianghai in Yangzhou, dragging their families and taking away many craftsmen. When Yangzhou reacted, Wang Ping
The warship has gone far away.
At the same time, Wang Yue led the remaining warships to help Liu Tongpan repel Wang Shanquan's attack, giving Liu Tongpan time to consolidate his power.
But Liu Tongpan also knew in his heart that he was no match for Wang Shanquan, and he could only enjoy this half of the state through Wang Yue's help.
After more than a month of delay, Liu Tongpan approved an emergency expansion of the army. He also had a mob of 70,000 to 80,000 people. Because of the financial support of the Gu family, he could barely fight. Then he stationed most of them at the traffic arteries.
Completely gained the ability to protect myself.
Seeing that the matter here had come to an end, Wang Yue did not continue to stay in Yangzhou. He left Wang An and the Qingzhou Navy to continue attacking Wang Shanquan's water village, making it impossible for Yangzhou to trade with the northern counties.
He himself returned to Qingzhou with some of the merchant ships for warship exchange.
…
Wang Yue's warship docked and landed at the harbor of Langya Kingdom, and then settled the Ye family and the Gu family here. Only then did he go to find Father Wang.
Father Wang is worried now. He is not worried about anything else. He is just worried that Qingzhou cannot accommodate so many victims.
Especially after the rebellion of King Liang, there were more disaster victims in Qingzhou. These victims had no land, and if you didn't provide them with food and shelter, they might take risks, which really gave him a headache.
Wang Yue entered the Governor's Mansion and saw the sad face of Father Wang in the study, so he asked with some confusion, "Dad, what's going on with you? I went out to make so much money and shipped so much food back, why are you doing this?
I’m not as high-spirited as when I came back last time.”
Father Wang glanced at Wang Yue and said very depressedly, "Isn't this how you want to fight for the world? So I have to leave a good reputation! These endless refugees are constantly pouring into our Qingzhou, consuming every day
The amount of food they need is astronomical, and we don’t have that much land to settle them, what do you think we should do?”
Wang Yue saw that Father Wang was about to make a move, and knew that the old man probably wanted to attack Xuzhou or Cangzhou.
He felt that now was not the time, so he quickly tried to dissuade him and said, "Dad, the world has just been in chaos. This is the first opportunity for a reshuffle. You must hold on."
When Father Wang realized that Wang Yue had seen through it, he asked angrily, "Then what do you think we should do? If we prevent the victims from entering Qingzhou, then we will not have a good reputation."
Wang Yue looked at Father Wang and said word by word, "Let's re-measure the land and implement the land equalization plan!"
Father Wang thought Wang Yue could come up with some good ideas. After all, he saw that his son was very powerful now and might really be able to solve Qingzhou's current problems.
He never imagined that Wang Yue would release such a big melon, which shocked him a little!
He murmured in his heart, is this son going to be stupid?
You know, the Wang family is the largest family in Qingzhou now, and it also has the most land. Is this the rhythm of giving away your own land to others?
Father Wang's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "Son, are you crazy? If you share the land, it is also our own land."
Wang Yue saw that Father Wang understood, but still couldn't believe what he said, so he explained very seriously, "Dad, although King Liang has rebelled now, the founding of the Great Rong Dynasty was only three generations long, and the people of the world are still the people."
I have determined that whoever provokes war will be the sinner. What's more, with the strength of our Qingzhou, we are not enough to unify the thirteen states while ignoring the threat from the north. We can't even defeat the Youzhou cavalry, so we might as well imprison them.
Come and take care of our own affairs in Qingzhou."
