Speaking of which, the King of Tanzhou is not without responsibility.
At least when a natural disaster comes, he organizes disaster relief immediately.
In addition to being engaged in civil affairs, the King of Tanzhou also had some attainments in medicine, especially in the field of typhoid fever.
After the natural disaster in Changsha City, a very severe plague broke out.
Eighty percent of the remaining people were infected.
Even the King of Tanzhou himself was infected with the plague.
In order to resist the plague, King Tanzhou personally tried the medicine and fought several times before finally formulating a special medicine against the plague.
Only in this way can the people be saved.
But by the time the plague ends, it will already be mid-August.
At this time, in order to fight the epidemic, the food and grass had been exhausted. The plague had caused trouble before, and the people did not have the strength to go to the ruins to dig for food.
As a result, most of the food originally buried in the ruins became rotten.
To train troops, firstly, the food supply must be guaranteed, and secondly, the soldiers must be physically strong.
When the people were almost recovered and the King of Tanzhou was preparing to organize the people to strengthen, the troops of the Liu brothers and sisters arrived.
So the king of Tanzhou, who was not prepared yet, hurriedly defended the enemy. It would be strange if he could defeat him.
That night on the Clippers was the most sound sleep I had had since the natural disaster in Song Dynasty.
In the past three months, we were either suffering from disasters or fighting against the epidemic.
I almost never had a good night's sleep.
Although he slept in the cabin today, it still did not affect his good sleep.
The next day, the hull of the boat rocked slightly, and it felt like it was docking.
Song Tong hurriedly got up and checked, and it turned out that he had arrived in Huangshi.
Whether traveling by water at night or moving at full speed, the sailors must be alert.
After staying up all night with high concentration, everyone is exhausted.
When the boat docked at Huangshi, I told the steward at the pier, and the steward immediately sent someone on board to replace him.
After a while, the clipper set sail again.
Song Tong and the sailors who sailed yesterday had something to eat together.
The sailors went to bed.
Song Tong stood on the deck and watched Huangshi Pier gradually disappear.
Some yearning for Jiangzhou arose in my heart.
Talking to the sailors yesterday, he already knew that people's livelihood in Jiangzhou has basically been restored.
Today I saw the crowds of people on the Huangshi Pier, and I knew that what the sailors said must be true.
In his impression, Jiangzhou's eldest nephew was nothing outstanding, but he didn't expect that he was capable of leading Jiangzhou to rise in troubled times.
Yes, Song Tong is Song Yang’s seventh uncle.
Dear Uncle Qi,
The biological relationship is much closer than that of Song Chengwang.
He is the seventh brother of Emperor Daqian and was granted the title of King of Tanzhou by the late emperor.
He is also a prince.
When Song Yang became a vassal, he also came to Jiangzhou to watch the ceremony.
Moreover, when Song Yang was a child, Song Tong also met Song Yang many times in the capital.
In Song Tong's impression, Song Yang was just a child.
Even now, he feels that Song Yang is just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
As an uncle, he was still very curious that a young man could achieve such an achievement.
Stretched.
"Hiss!" Pain came, and Song Tong grinned in pain.
He was severely tortured by the thieves for more than a day during his detention.
Fortunately, he is in good health and understands medicine.
Otherwise, he might have been on death row.
After roughly flexing his muscles, Song Tong did not return to the cabin, but sat on the horse beside the cabin and watched the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The wind direction is just right for sailing today, and the boat is so fast that it can fly.
At the beginning of Shenshi, the dock on the north bank of Jiangzhou has gradually emerged.
"Report!" said the sailor on the lookout on the ship.
The sailor on the bow immediately took out his horn and came out.
"Woooooo~"
The horn sounded, and the people at Jiangzhou Pier immediately took action.
This kind of horn is an emergency horn. After hearing the horn sound, people at the dock will immediately make preparations to receive the ship's message.
The clipper docked, and the sleeping sailors on board had already gotten up.
Before the boat was anchored, he jumped out of the boat.
"Where is the prince? We need to report something urgently!"
"Your Majesty is in the school."
"Where is Doctor Lu?"
"Doctor Lu is at the drug store."
During the question and answer, the two sailors had already split up.
Song Yang was teaching when a navy soldier suddenly rushed over from outside.
"Your Majesty! Master Lin Yonglin is seriously injured!"
"What?"
Song Yang was shocked. Was he fighting a thief?
"Let's go! Where is Lin Yong!" Song Yang said, going to see Lin Yong.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has difficulty moving and is staying in Baling temporarily. Several adults would like to ask Dr. Lu to take a look."
"Okay! Have you gone to see Dr. Lu?"
"Already gone."
"Where is Lin Yong injured?"
"What? An arrow penetrating wound?"
Song Yang was worried about Lin Yong arriving.
Penetrating wounds from arrows are difficult to treat.
Following the sailor, he went straight to the medicine shop. Doctor Lu was already preparing to take the medicinal materials for departure.
"Your Majesty, I'll prepare my things and leave immediately!" Doctor Lu knew that the matter was serious and didn't bother to salute.
"Well, who do you need to help?" Song Yang asked.
"I'll take two apprentices with me." Doctor Lu said while loading things.
"Okay. You pack up first, and then leave. I will prepare something else." Song Yang said and walked out.
"Wang Dabiao!"
Walking to the door of the explosives factory, Song Yang shouted inside.
"Your Majesty! The mark is here!"
Wang Dabiao came out in a hurry. He was just storing explosives there.
The first batch of explosives was sent to Daye for Yu Mingxiao, and this is the second batch.
"How many are there?" Song Yang asked with a frown.
"One hundred and fifty sticks of dynamite and forty thunderbolts."
"Move them all out and load them on the ship immediately. I'm going to Yuezhou! I'll take all the materials with me, and everyone from your explosives factory will come with me!" Song Yang ordered.
"Ah? Something has changed in Yuezhou?" Wang Dabiao asked anxiously.
"Lin Yong was seriously injured by a thief, which is very unfortunate. I want to go and see what happened!" Song Yang said with a gloomy face.
"Yes! I'll get ready right away!" Wang Dabiao responded and immediately called an ox cart to pull the things.
Midnight.
After everything was packed, Song Yang took Niu Laosan and fifty soldiers to the dock.
Five hundred Renaissance troops have been assembled at the dock and they are going to Yuezhou together.
There are only five hundred housekeepers left at home.
Also waiting there was Tong Qian. She was worried that something might happen to Song Yang and wanted to go and see him together.
"Forget it, we're already here, let's get on the boat." Song Yang glanced at Tong Qian and didn't chase her away.
"Lao Fang, I leave the family affairs to you. Song Chengwang! You also help Lao Fang with his work. The Lao Song family must stand up!" Song Yang pointed at Song Chengwang and shouted.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry." Song Chengwang nodded and assured.
"Get on the boat! Let's go!"
The things were almost transported. Song Yang gave the order and the Renaissance Army began to board the ship.
This time we went with five watercrafts and one steamer.
All the warships followed Ma Cheng to Jiangning, and there were only two ships at home.
Leave one for home and take one to Yuezhou.
Earlier, Doctor Lu had already taken the first step with the Clippers.
Now this is the second batch of fleet to set off.
"Good nephew! Good nephew! Good nephew A Yang!" Song Yang had just boarded the boat when a man from the shore shouted to him.
"Huh? Seventh uncle?" Before Song Yang could reply, Song Chengwang saw the man first.
Obviously he and King Tanzhou knew each other.
"Yes. It's me! Hello, Xiao Chengwang." Tanzhou Wang Songtong smiled and nodded.
"Uh! Uncle Qi? Why did you come to Jiangzhou?"
Song Yang was just wondering who this person was, but as soon as Song Chengwang called him Seventh Uncle, he remembered it.
It was his seventh uncle, King Songtong of Tanzhou.
"It's hard to explain in words! I'd better get on the boat and talk about it later!"
The miserable Song Tong had just got off the boat and thought about waiting for Song Yang to pick him up, but when he did, it was Song Yang who was going to Yuezhou.
So this guy had no choice but to get on the boat again and follow Song Yang.
This comes over and over again, why bother!
"Uncle Qi! Why...why are you so miserable!"
"Alas! They are all thieves from Yuezhou! They locked me in a dungeon and interrogated me about the whereabouts of the treasure. During natural disasters, all the treasures were burned, so there is no treasure left!"
The uncle and nephew met each other in the cabin, and Song Tong, the king of Tanzhou, complained plaintively.
The subordinates of the Liu brothers and sisters were not only poor people, but also Miao Ji's subordinates who had been recruited.
These people specialize in extortion, robbery, and oppression of good people.
It’s strange that the King of Tanzhou could have an easier time if he was caught by them.
Song Tong, who couldn't take out the treasure, was beaten half to death by them, and his face was covered with whip marks.
Song Yang asked Li Rui to give Song Tong medicine, which made him grimace in pain.
When his clothes were lifted, Song Tong's body was covered with injuries, which looked shocking.
In addition to the bruises from whips, punches and kicks, there was also a burn from a soldering iron!
This shows what kind of abuse this seventh uncle suffered.
Of course, it can also be seen that his body is in good shape. Even though he was injured like this, he didn't hurt to death.
You can also follow the Clippers all the way to Jiangzhou.
Lu Jimin had already taken the first step, and Song Yang brought Li Rui with him.
There are already several doctors in Jiangzhou Fucheng, plus the young apprentices trained by Lu Jimin and others.
Dealing with pain and excitement is not a big problem.
So Song Yang brought the two most senior doctors with him because he was afraid that there would be many casualties in the Yuezhou war and that Dr. Lu would not be able to handle it alone.
"My dear nephew, Ayang. Uncle Wang has become a bereaved dog this time. He will have no choice but to take refuge in you from now on!"
After taking the medicine, Li Rui left. Song Tong sat there with a sad face and said.
Although it was already midnight, the wound was so painful just after applying the medicine that Song Tong couldn't sleep at all.
Song Yang naturally wanted to accompany his seventh uncle.
The two chatted about their families.
Song Yang told himself first, and he and Fang Zhe were the only ones alive in the palace.
Song Tong also shook his head after hearing this, and then talked about his own situation.
After the natural disaster, his family originally had two concubines and a son and a daughter.
It sounds like I have good luck and am quite happy.
As a result, as soon as things started to improve, rebels suddenly appeared.
Due to lack of preparation in a hurry, the battle was quickly defeated and Changsha fell.
At the last moment, Song Tong's two concubines were killed by him with his own hands.
As for the son and daughter, they really didn't have the heart to take action, so they found an old eunuch who had been loyal to them for many years to take them with them, and ran away among the refugees.
He himself was somewhat responsible and did not run away.
He stayed in the palace and planned to die together with the thief.
In his words, he is the destined king of Tanzhou and will not give in to any thieves or leave.
When the thieves came, he killed two of them.
Of course, in the end they were still outnumbered.
When he was finally about to wipe his neck, someone took away his weapon and arrested him.
His experience made Song Yang think highly of him.
Being able to rest with the country and fight to the end is also a very manly person.
Of course, after some torture, Song Tong also changed his mind and did not want to die.
He wants to survive.
After escaping from prison, Song Tong was so desperate to survive that he escaped to the riverside despite his injuries.
He is quite popular among the people in Changsha, especially his contribution to fighting the plague, which is remembered by the people.
So the fishermen and people by the river also ran out with him and their families.
