The manufacturing of muskets has entered the trial production stage, and no results will be seen in a short time.
The artillery had to be temporarily shelved due to lack of materials.
In this way, Song Yang has no urgent matters for the time being.
On August 10th, Wei Nan found Song Yang and said that the new recruits in Fengzhou were almost fully trained.
Song Yang went to the training ground to observe.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"go ahead!"
"Back off!"
"Change!"
On the school field, following Wang Yongning's instructions, more than 600 Fengzhou recruits continued to perform various actions.
Basically, it can prohibit the execution of orders.
The previous battle between the Jiangzhou Renaissance Army and the Jiangbei bandits stimulated the Fengzhou recruits.
Everyone has a deeper understanding and admiration for the Renaissance Army.
Therefore, I train more diligently and seriously.
Most of the 600 revival troops in Fengzhou are strong men selected by the general magistrate of Fengzhou.
They still have relatives in Fengzhou, so relatively speaking, they want to go back to Fengzhou.
That is their home.
The idea that Wang Yongning instilled in them is that Fengzhou is in chaos now, and they must practice their skills before they can go back.
This is also a major reason for the rapid progress of Fengzhou soldiers.
"Not bad, I should be able to go back."
After watching the recruit training for a while, Song Yang said with satisfaction.
"My lord, when do you think they will go back?" Wei Nan asked.
During this period, Wei Nan was in charge of the food and daily life of the Fengzhou soldiers as well as the rationing of equipment and supplies.
This kid is eager to kick the Fengzhou soldiers away today so that his workload can be reduced.
Song Yang thought for a moment and said, "Go and ask Ma Cheng to come back. We still need to listen to his opinion on the waterway."
Wei Nan was so anxious that he found Ma Cheng back in the afternoon.
Ma Cheng has been busy in Jiangbei these days with stronghold planning and waterway survey, and he doesn't even have time to go to Jiangning.
"Your Majesty, the water pattern is in good condition these days. You can set off at any time."
"How are the preparations going with the sailors?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have already prepared it. Niu Laosan and three hundred sailors are on standby at any time."
"Okay, let's do it the day after tomorrow. We will load up the supplies tomorrow and set off early the day after tomorrow. Wei Nan, go and inform Wang Yongning."
After discussing with Ma Chengyi, Song Yang decided to let the Fengzhou soldiers go back the day after tomorrow.
When Wei Nan heard this, he left the day after tomorrow. He was so happy that he ran to tell Wang Yongning.
Not long after, Fang Zhe came first with Xiao Fugui.
"How's it going? How much have you learned these days?"
Song Yang looked at Xiao Fugui and smiled.
The little rich man cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the prince, I have learned a lot from Mr. Fang these days to learn how to manage politics."
"Hmm. Not bad. You must have already heard about the departure the day after tomorrow. You will pack up tomorrow. If there is anything you don't understand, please ask Lao Fang."
"Yes! I understand, slave."
"When you get back, cooperate with the work of the other two adults. If you have any urgent matters, go to Niu Laosan and ask him to send a message back by speedboat."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust."
Xiaofugui's performance is indeed good these days.
Fang Zhe said that he was diligent in learning and asking questions, and worked hard and conscientiously.
Originally I still had some contempt for eunuchs, but after these days of observation.
Fang Zhe was already very optimistic about Xiao Fugui's working ability.
While they were talking, Wei Nan and Wang Yongning also came.
I just informed Wang Yongning that he could leave the day after tomorrow, and Wang Yongning was also a little excited.
When he returned to Fengzhou, it was time for him to show off his talents.
"Master Wang, I just watched your training. It's good, it's quite impressive." Song Yang looked at Wang Yongning and praised.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I am just doing my best to train new soldiers for Your Majesty." Wang Yongning said, cupping his fists.
This guy has a very upright attitude.
The Fengzhou soldiers were said to be training troops for Song Yang.
"How many people are there in the Fengzhou Renaissance Army?" Song Yang asked.
"Back to your lord, the Fengzhou Renaissance Army has a total of 631 people."
A total of 633 people came to Fengzhou this time. Except for the crown prince Song Chengwang and the eunuch Xiao Fugui, the rest were all incorporated into the Fuxing Army.
"In this case, you allocate thirty people to Xiao Fugui. As a guard eunuch, there are some people around who can be used." Song Yang thought for a while and said.
"Yes, I'll do it when I get back from my humble job." Wang Yongning nodded and accepted the order.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The little rich man knelt down happily to thank him.
He is a eunuch, even if he has some rights, but if there is no one under his command, who will listen to you?
Just pointing and making a small report would take several days.
So Song Yang also arranged thirty revival troops for Xiao Fugui.
"When you go back, cooperate well with the Lord Tongpan."
"Tell him that when the world is stable, he can come to Jiangzhou and have a look."
Song Yang was not worried at all about what kind of trouble a general judge might cause.
Their princes are all in Jiangzhou, how dare you, a general judge, to stand on your own feet?
Thinking of Song Chengwang, Song Yang asked someone to find this boy again.
"Uncle Wang, are you looking for me?" Song Chengwang came running over.
When I entered the house, I saw Wang Yongning and Xiao Fugui, and an ominous feeling arose.
"Uncle Wang, we agreed in advance that my nephew will not return to Fengzhou!" Song Chengwang said cautiously.
"I didn't let you reply!" Song Yang curled his lips and said.
"I asked you to come here because I want you to write a letter to the Fengzhou magistrate and ask him to cooperate with Mr. Wang and Xiao Fugui's work."
"Tong Fan asked him to be in charge of government affairs, Wang Qianhu was in charge of military affairs, and Xiao Fugui was in charge of supervision and business."
Song Chengwang nodded, hurriedly found a piece of paper and brush and started writing.
He quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Song Yang to read.
Song Yang didn't even look at it and directly gave the seal to Song Chengwang.
Song Chengwang stamped the seal and returned the seal to Song Yang.
Wang Yongning and Xiao Fugui took a look and found that the seal of King Fengzhou had been in Song Yang's hands.
Sure enough, the prince has completely surrendered to Song Yang.
The next day, the shipping work went smoothly.
Song Yang gave some instructions to Niu Laosan again.
I work with this guy on the safe side and he is calm.
It is appropriate for him to go to Fengzhou to manage water affairs.
"Third brother, please find out the water conditions in various parts of Fengzhou as soon as possible. Take this "Daqian Jiangnan Water Transport Map" and make a record of any changes in the Fengzhou water system."
After finishing his official duties, Song Yang took out a picture scroll and gave it to Niu Laosan.
"Daqian Jiangnan Water Transport Map" is actually a map of the water network in the south of the Yangtze River. Where boats can travel and how much water there is, there are records.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete my mission."
Niu Laosan solemnly collected the map.
Another day, the day of departure arrived.
Six hundred Fengzhou soldiers boarded the ship one after another.
Song Yang and Song Chengwang stood side by side on the dock.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! My servant has returned!"
The little rich man kowtowed three times respectfully in front of his uncle and nephew.
"Let's go, let's go. Don't forget to help me find Yuhua!" Song Chengwang whispered.
Song Yang twisted his mouth, this kid!
"Your Majesty, your eldest son, I will leave now for my humble duty." Wang Yongning also saluted with a military salute.
"Go ahead. Fengzhou will be left to you. I believe that Fengzhou will settle down as soon as possible with your efforts." Song Yang encouraged them by patting their shoulders.
"Go, go. Take good care of Fengzhou." Song Chengwang waved to everyone.
"Woooooo~"
The horn sounded, and the fleet slowly moved upstream.
From then on, Fengzhou officially began to become Song Yang's sphere of influence.
