Fang Zhe arrived in Yuzhang on November 2, when representatives from various state capitals had already arrived.
With Fang Zhe's arrival, everyone was finally here.
In the afternoon of that day, Fang Zhe first exchanged Song Yang's opinions with King Hongzhou. Of course, King Hongzhou said there was no problem at all.
The next day, the first enlarged meeting of the Daqian Jiangnan Revival Alliance was officially held.
The form was of course the Jiangzhou form, which Song Yang taught to the King of Hongzhou. Everyone sat around a big table and talked freely.
King Hongzhou presided over the meeting. First, he led representatives from various places to commemorate the great achievements of Daqian and expressed that they would unite their allies to restore the prosperous times of Daqian.
After the scene is finished, the topic officially enters.
Needless to say, the first item must be everyone reporting their own situation.
The alliance will keep unified records.
The first one to speak was of course Fang Zhe.
Jiangzhou's development status and once the restoration and construction phase started, representatives from other states showed envious expressions.
After Fang Zhe finished speaking, it was Hongzhou.
Then summarize them in order from west to east.
Fang Zhe held a small notebook in his hand and listened carefully and memorized it carefully.
The situation in each state was recorded, and all the contents of this meeting were brought back to Song Yang.
After listening to everyone's speeches, Fang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation everywhere is pretty good.
Except for Raozhou, which is currently at war, the people in other state capitals can barely get by.
Especially in Jizhou and Luling, under the leadership of the Crown Prince, the reconstruction work had already begun.
Almost all the people lived in adobe houses.
It can be regarded as the second state capital with relatively complete livelihood protection besides Jiangzhou.
As for why he is the crown prince, it is because the prince was smashed to death during a natural disaster and has been lying in bed for more than half a year...
"You two! Do you hear that? You are all learning from Jiangzhou and Jizhou! How can you live without caring about the survival of the people all day long?"
After listening to everyone's reports, King Hongzhou scolded the two envoys from Raozhou with a straight face.
Although Raozhou joined the alliance, they sent representatives from both sides because they were not sure who was in charge.
"My lord. My lord's intention is that if the war in Raozhou continues, they will be kicked out of the alliance." Fang Zhe looked at King Hongzhou and said.
"Yes! That makes sense! I support it." King Hongzhou nodded.
"This is indeed the case. It is really inappropriate to initiate internal fighting for selfish interests in the face of disaster."
"Yes. We should be kicked out of the alliance!"
Fang Zhe's proposal was recognized by most alliance member representatives.
Why do we have to support you in the war when we are engaged in economic development?
If you want to join the alliance, you have to sort out the shit at home.
The two representatives from Raozhou were timid and did not dare to speak. This meeting was obviously aimed at them.
"Did you hear that? Go back and tell those two bastards that the war must end before the end of the year after giving them a month and a half. If there are still troubles, don't think about joining the alliance!" King Hongzhou rolled his eyes at the two Raozhou envoys.
The two of them could only respond submissively.
"Okay, let's forget about those two silly boys for now. Let's talk about business!"
King Hongzhou once again glared at the two representatives from Raozhou, then looked at the two representatives from Shaozhou and Hengzhou and said:
"The two states of Shao and Heng are at great risk of being attacked by Tanzhou bandits, so the top priority is to provide help to these two places first."
"My opinion is that the nearest Yongzhou will send troops, and other places will send supplies. Let's help these two states resist the invasion of bandits."
After King Hongzhou finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Jiaxiong, the envoy of Yongzhou.
Zhong Jiaxiong is the new magistrate of Yongzhou. He was previously a staff member of the royal palace and a close confidant of Yongzhou King Song Miao.
"Don't worry, my lord, my prince also has plans to send troops to help defend Shao and Hengzhou. He has already sent a letter to the two states to discuss the matter with the two princes."
Zhong Jiaxiong expressed his position.
Yongzhou is indeed planning to send troops. Song Miao is a very chivalrous person. In fact, he has already wanted to send troops to Tanzhou to suppress the bandits.
However, Yongzhou's own situation is not very good and it really cannot support the expedition.
This time the alliance is established, if each member provides supplies, Yongzhou will send troops to Shao and Hengzhou to assist in defense.
"Okay. Since there are people in Yongzhou, we will provide money and food."
"I will set an example. Hongzhou will provide 10,000 shi of grain! Shao and Hengzhou will each receive 5,000 shi!"
As the leader of the alliance, King Hongzhou certainly cannot be stingy.
Besides, Hongzhou has harvested quite a lot of grain this year, enough to support the harvest next year, so he looks very proud.
The most important thing is that he has already borrowed five thousand dan before. In fact, it is included in the 10,000 li and he only needs to pay out another 5,000 dan.
"We can also provide five thousand stones of food, plus one thousand swords, guns and shields."
This is Fang Zhe's quotation, not only food, but also weapons.
Afterwards, others also expressed their opinions.
Yuanzhou, which had the smallest area and the worst conditions, also produced two thousand shi of grain.
Sun Yi, the prefect of Yuanzhou, came personally, which shows that he attaches great importance to the alliance.
Of course, it is also because the area of Yuanzhou itself is too small. After a month of autumn harvest, all the grain that can be harvested has been harvested.
There is nothing important at home, so I can leave for a short time.
As for the two goods in Raozhou, they can't afford anything at all. They fight every day and don't do a good harvest in the autumn. How can they have any surplus food to support others.
Of course, the members attending the meeting did not expect them to produce anything.
In the end, the alliance provided a total of 25,000 dan of grain, and Yongzhou generals Wang Shao and Hengzhou each sent 3,000 men to assist in the defense.
With this help, the two states of Shao and Heng can be stabilized.
As for the north and east sides of Tanzhou, Jiangzhou is in charge, so there is no need to worry.
"Everyone, from the end of this year to the first half of next year, our main task is defense. Don't tangle with bandits for the time being, just resist their footsteps."
"My prince's intention is to launch a general attack on the Tanzhou bandits in the second half of next year and recover Tanzhou in one fell swoop."
Fang Zhe expressed Song Yang's opinion.
If you are fighting bandits now, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
It is better to be defensive for now and use the first half of next year to train our troops.
When the soldiers and horses are strong, they will annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop.
"This king supports Ayang's plan."
"I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. I had a confrontation with bandits some time ago, and even the 10,000 people under my command could not defeat 5,000 bandits."
"So in terms of the quality of our soldiers, we are still lagging behind."
"To regain Tanzhou, it's best to train troops everywhere."
Now that King Hongzhou has become the leader of the alliance, he has gained face and dares to expose scandals.
Of course, other alliances also heard about the fact that Hongzhou was defeated by bandits and rescued by Jiangzhou.
"Leader, we have already started training troops. If we have half a year, we can train an elite army of 10,000 people." Zhong Jiaxiong was the first to express his support.
Of course other parties also agreed.
In troubled times, Hongzhou, Yuezhou and Shaohengzhou have learned from the past. It is very necessary to have an elite army in hand.
"Then it's settled. Our main task in the next six months is to train our own troops. Next year, follow my... alliance's orders to conquer Tanzhou!"
On a whim, King Hongzhou almost said that he would listen to my orders.
When you become a leader, you are somewhat uncontrollable.
