The Daqian Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance carried out its second expansion in mid-December.
The eastern and southern prefectures and counties of Jiangnan Province were all included in the alliance.
And most of them have implemented centralized management of alliances.
The southern state capitals are also unlucky. Only Lianzhou has a prince here. The situation of leaving no living royal family in other states and counties is similar to that of Ezhou Wang's family...
Compared with this, it is a miracle that the first batch of state capitals to join the alliance have royal families.
So the King of Hongzhou and Song Yang discussed it, and they decided to have the princes take charge of it, and if not, the alliance would take charge.
In short, the management is to be unified, and the provinces are doing things independently and in chaos.
Of course Song Yang had no objection.
It would be better to manage them all in one place, which will save you a lot of trouble in the future.
Although those who are under the control of the prince now may cause trouble in the future.
But Song Yang doesn't care very much. As long as you don't cause chaos now, you will be sure that all parties will surrender without bloodshed in the future.
After gathering the second batch of participating state capitals, King Hongzhou set his sights on Lingnan Road.
Although Lingnan Road is not as large as Jiangnan Road, it has a large number of state capitals.
It is roughly divided into two parts: east and west. The east part is the Daqian people managed by the government.
In the west, there are mostly ethnic minority state capitals managed by ethnic minority chieftains.
At present, the entire eastern part of Lingnan Road has completed the integration of forces.
But it was not integrated into the Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance, but under the command of the Nanhai King.
Song Jing, King of Nanhai, was Song Yang’s third uncle.
It has absolute authority in Lingnan Road.
At that time, Song Jing was the most likely candidate to compete for the throne of emperor.
But in the end he lost to Song Yang's father.
After Song Yang's father became emperor.
Song Jing was directly sent to Lingnan Road and became the King of Nanhai.
Although he was sent to southern Xinjiang, Song Jing's prestige remained unchanged, and he had the support of many close friends in the court.
After operating in various southern states for several years, it has already formed a strong force.
Originally it was just a small group, and Song Yang's father didn't bother to care about his younger brother, as long as he didn't rebel.
But after the natural disaster, the situation changed.
Song Yang's father died, but his third uncle Song Jing survived.
There is no doubt about his ability, and those who can compete for the throne are not ordinary people.
Soon after the Songjing natural disaster, the prefectures and counties of Lingnan Province began to be integrated.
And several refugee shelters have been established. When the refugees from various places in Lingnan Province heard that Nanhaiwang was responsible for food and drink, they basically wanted to get closer to Nanhaiwang.
That’s why there are almost no refugees from Lingnan Province in Jiangnan Province.
Under the leadership of Song Jing, the eastern part of Lingnan Road has begun to restore people's livelihood, and started farming and protecting land early.
They even formed a militia group to eliminate several refugee forces early.
If Song Yang hadn't been born in Jiangzhou, Lingnan might have been the first place where the Qian Dynasty stabilized.
In early December, a letter from King Hongzhou was delivered to Nanhai City.
Song Jing glanced at the letter and didn't care about the Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance at all.
It's not like he doesn't know what King Songying of Hongzhou is like.
Although Lao Qi Songtong is a little stronger than Song Ying, he is not a man of great talent or strategy.
As for the eldest nephew... in Song Jing's opinion, he is just a child, only seventeen or eighteen years old, what ability can he have.
In his opinion, the so-called Jiangnan Revival Alliance must have been something created by Song Tong and Song Ying.
He already knew about the collapse of Daqian in August.
What he wants to manage now is his own sphere of influence.
However, Lingnan Road was also seriously damaged, so there was no need to conflict with the Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance for the time being.
Song Jing sent the envoy back to the King of Hongzhou, and the state capitals of Jiangnan Province formed an alliance with the Jiangnan Revival Alliance.
He did not join, but formed an alliance.
It was already late December when Song Yang received the news from Lingnan Road.
"My third uncle is really... quite capable..."
There aren't many things about his third uncle in Song Yang's memory.
But I still know a little bit about the fight for position.
"Lao San has this kind of temperament. As long as he has the opportunity, he will not be inferior to others." Song Tong understood Song Jing deeper.
"A Yang, the third child, is quite capable. With him taking care of Lingnan Road, Lingnan Road should recover soon."
Seventh Uncle Song Tong looked at Song Yang.
Song Yang nodded and said, "Yes. Third uncle's ability... is still worthy of belief."
"I can understand why he doesn't want to join the alliance, so let him do what he wants."
"As long as Lingnan Road doesn't become chaotic, things will be fine in the future."
Song Yang is full of confidence. As long as the place is not in chaos, the development of his side will be enough to suppress all forces.
Of course Song Tong also understands this. The Crouching Tiger Cannon is placed there, and the fool also understands that this thing is what determines victory or defeat.
So he wasn't worried about Song Jing causing trouble on Lingnan Road.
"I heard that Jiang Ning has stopped fighting?" Uncle Qi mentioned Jiang Ning's affairs again.
"Yes, King Runzhou placed his center in Huainan Road. As for the King of Suzhou, he placed his center in several state capitals in the eastern part of Jiangnan Road."
The junction between King Runzhou and Jiangzhou forces was in Xuanzhou. King Runzhou did not want to have any contact with Song Yang, so he put his focus on the eastern states of Huainan Road in the north of Jiangbei.
The Suzhou King's sphere of influence originally had no border with Song Yang.
However, after the second expansion of the Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance, there was a border between the two sides.
The King of Suzhou successively conquered the capitals of the southeastern states of Jiangnan Province through force.
Finally, it expanded from Suzhou to Jianzhou and Fuzhou.
Further south, Tingzhou, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou took refuge with the King of Nanhai.
The state capitals bordering Suzhou King are Qianzhou, Raozhou and Fuzhou.
Of course the King of Suzhou also knew that Song Yang was still alive.
This guy's mentality is the same as that of King Yimao of Runzhou.
I don’t want to talk to Song Yang at all.
Legally speaking, he couldn't compare with Song Yang, so he started pretending to be deaf and blind.
And Song Yang didn't bother to deal with these two things, King Runzhou and King Suzhou.
Now that they are no longer fighting, the people can relax, and Song Yang's goal has been achieved.
So I didn't contact them forcefully.
Speaking of fighting, the two guys from Raozhou also stopped fighting. They couldn't afford to offend the Jiangnan Revival Alliance.
He also wanted to join the alliance, so in the end he simply divided Raozhou into two, with one person in charge of half...
However, the alliance's requirements were finally met and the war ceased.
Prince Hongzhou didn't bother these two guys, he just accepted them.
In this way, four larger forces were formed in the eastern part of Jiangnan.
As for the group of bandits in Tanzhou, Song Yang didn't pay attention at all. The bandits will be wiped out next year.
Even if there are no squatting cannons and muskets, as long as the food keeps up, Song Yang will not let the bandits stand in Tanzhou anymore.
Finally, there are Qianzhou Road, Jiannan Road, Yunnan Road and other areas in the southwest.
Because it is an area inhabited by ethnic minorities, they have always been independent in their own affairs. The local chieftain took this opportunity to cause trouble.
However, there are many ethnic minorities in the southwest, and toasts are everywhere.
Now basically everyone occupies their own hilltop and manages their own village.
The only place still in official hands is Yizhou, Hanzhou, Pengzhou and other places in the northern part of Jiannan Road, which are in the hands of the Shu kings.
However, the King of Shu's family has been surrounded by major tribes, and they can only be trapped in playing house around Chengdu.
So much so that Song Yang still doesn't know that anyone in the King of Shu's lineage is still alive.
These are the situation of various forces in Daqian Jiangnan.
Of course, except for the four major forces and the southwest ethnic minority regime.
There are also some areas such as Shannan Road, western Jiangnan Road, and western Huainan Road.
These places are currently out of control.
The King of Hongzhou has not yet spared any effort to recruit them, so these matters have been postponed until later in the year.
It's the end of the year, and I have been busy for most of the year, so I need to take a break.
