Chapter 228 Departure to Fangzhou

February twenty-six.

Chu Fang came to Jiangzhou Fucheng.

Of course, when you become the magistrate of Ruichang County, you must first thank Song Yang for his promotion before you can follow Chen Fu to Ruichang.

As for the handover of De'an's work, Qiao Jinglong already discussed the important matters with Chen Fu yesterday.

Just let Chu Fang and Chen Fu take care of the rest.

Chu Fang is the chief secretary of De'an, and he basically knows all the affairs of De'an.

This saved Qiao Jinglong a lot of trouble.

As soon as Chen Fu and Chu Fang left, Qiao Jinglong also said goodbye and returned to De'an to pack his things.

I still have to say goodbye to my family, so I can't just leave.

The morning of the 27th.

Zhang Sui led the five hundred De'an Renaissance Army to Jiangzhou first. The De'an Renaissance Army received Yu Ming's transfer order and immediately set off to gather in Jiangzhou.

This is the efficiency of the Renaissance Army.

Yu Ming has mobilized a thousand revival troops in Jiangzhou to prepare for Fangzhou.

As for the defense of Jiangzhou, the troops brought back by Song Chengwang took over.

On the 28th, Qiao Jinglong came back. He didn't bring his family, but only three clerical staff who were very handy.

Song Yang directly raised the salaries of these three people by two levels, and then said to Qiao Jinglong: "The autonomy is given to you, you can appoint them however you want!"

Qiao Jinglong and three civil servants thanked Song Yang for his support and promised to straighten out Fangzhou.

On the 29th, Ma Cheng and Song Chengwang returned at the same time.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang! Who are we going to attack this time?"

As soon as Song Chengwang came back, he came to Song Yang with a lot of yelling.

He looks even crazier than before.

"What are you talking about? Do you understand the principle of defeating others without fighting?" Song Yang gave Song Chengwang an annoyed look.

"Uh, then who are we going to surrender to?" Song Chengwang scratched his head and asked.

"I don't know! We'll wait until we get to Fangzhou. Go back and pack up quickly. We'll set off tomorrow!"

Song Yang gave Song Chengwang a push. This kid hadn't taken a shower for at least seven days, and he smelled bad...

After sending Song Chengwang away, Ma Cheng came again to report on the work of the past few days.

In fact, there was not much progress. It only lasted six or seven days, just sorting out and cleaning up the mess.

Liu Huairen moved very quickly. He took people to Xinchang the day before yesterday, and as soon as he handed over to Ma Cheng, he went to Yiyang without stopping.

In terms of ability, Liu Huairen doesn't need to worry. Let him take charge of Raozhou, and he can ensure peace in Raozhou.

Ma Cheng also went to prepare, and Song Yang visited the Tiger Crouching Cannon Factory and the Glass Factory.

Twenty-five more Tiger Crouching Cannons were produced.

These twenty-five gates were all taken by Song Chengwang.

The number of guns in the Tiger Crouching Artillery Battalion was increased to eighty-three.

There were supposed to be eighty-five cannons, but two of them were broken during transportation. They were taken down by Wang Jinshi and had to be melted and recast...

"Your Majesty, take a look at these telescopes."

As soon as Song Yang arrived at the glass workshop, Gongsun Mo was tinkering with a monocular telescope.

During this time, a total of thirty-seven monoculars were produced.

It's not that Gongsun Mo works slowly, it's just that the glass lens is too difficult to work with.

These are the only lenses that can be used, which limits the production capacity of the telescope.

"Okay. Not bad! Thirty-seven are enough for now."

Song Yang took a telescope and looked at it for a while.

The clarity is pretty good, definitely much better than what can be seen with the naked eye, at least fifty meters away.

It would be great to be able to reach this level now.

"Let's distribute these telescopes, one to each county. I will bring them to those state capitals in the west this time." Song Yang said while looking at the telescope.

There are now thirty-one counties under its jurisdiction, not counting Xiazhou and Jingzhou. In fact, these thirty-seven telescopes are not enough.

Give one to Xiazhou and Jingzhou each, and keep the rest in the army.

Coming out of the glass workshop, Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan followed behind.

"Your Majesty, I want to go to Fangzhou with you." Tong Qian begged.

She didn't know when she would be back after leaving. Tong Qian was worried about Song Yang, so she wanted to follow him.

"Well...actually, I also want to take a look..." Shen Xiaowan said softly.

"My aunt said she wanted to see what kind of business there is." Shen Xiaowan added another explanation.

Song Yang hasn't accepted her yet, Shen Xiaowan hangs out with Tong Qian every day, and Song Yang knows what she is thinking.

"Okay, okay. You both go! Anyway, the glass factory can't help much. If we go together, you two can be a companion." Song Yang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tong Qian said with a sweet smile.

Shen Xiaowan couldn't help but smile.

February 30th.

At the north port of Jiangzhou Fucheng, soldiers lined up to board the ship, preparing to embark on the journey to Fangzhou.

This time, he only took 1,500 men and horses with him, including 500 men from De'an.

Except for the five hundred tigers squatting in the artillery camp, all the people brought back by Song Chengwang stayed in Jiangzhou to look after their homes.

It was originally planned to bring two thousand people, but the squatting tiger cannon and cannonballs took up a whole boat, leaving no room...

"Lao Yu, Lao Ma. You two are optimistic about home! If anything happens, the Clippers will come to report." Song Yang looked at Yu Ming and Ma Cheng and asked.

This time when he went to Fangzhou, Song Yang didn't take Ma Cheng with him.

Going to Fangzhou is not a water battle. If we only rely on shipping, it doesn't matter whether Ma Cheng goes or not.

Moreover, Gongsun Qi was already familiar with water combat, so he was asked to follow him to get some exercise.

Gongsun Qi became the deputy general manager of the navy, and this was the first time he went on a mission with Song Yang.

Song Yang also took care of a young man who had just gotten married, and did not want his mother-in-law to stay alone in the empty house.

This time he was going to Fangzhou. Gongsun Qi took the initiative to come to Song Yang and wanted to go out and exercise.

Song Yang thought for a while and decided to follow Ma Cheng to Raozhou and let him rest.

Then he agreed with Gongsun Qi's idea.

"My lord, take care!" Yu Ming reluctantly clasped his fists.

He wanted to go.

He had not been able to go to Raozhou before, and he was not allowed to go to Fangzhou this time.

"You guys, you don't have to go to Fangzhou to fight! Just stay at home. If the Jiangbei thieves or the two kings make any moves, you might still have a fight here!"

Song Yang smiled and said to Ming.

"Uh, I understand the humble position!" Yu Ming scratched his head and said.

"You two keep your home safe. I will be back in a month or two. The cement factory in Xuanzhou will be put into operation soon. Please take care of the transportation matters." Song Yang said to Ma Cheng again.

"Xiaguan understands. Yesterday, we arranged a ship to go to Xuanzhou to be on standby. If it opens there, Xiaguan will also go to Xuanzhou." Ma Cheng nodded and said.

"Okay. You are all capable and can handle things appropriately."

Song Yang communicated with the two of them. It was almost time and the soldiers had finished boarding the ship.

Song Yang got on the boat instead and waved goodbye to the people on the dock.

Also setting off with Song Yang was Song Mao, and both Song Yang and Qi Shu agreed to his return.

This time when Song Yang went out, he happened to go with him.

Song Yang prepared three shiploads of grain and grass for him, as well as two shiploads of swords, guns, swords and halberds and various equipment.

With these supplies, the strength of Song Mao's four thousand people can be greatly improved.

After Song Tong and his son said goodbye at the dock.

Song Ning also said goodbye to Song Mao with tears in her eyes.

Then he had to send his father away.

Song Yang was going to Fangzhou, so of course he had to bring the veteran prince Seventh Uncle Song Tong with him.

With Song Tong analyzing for him the relationship between the royal families in Shannan Road, he could save a lot of things.

"Boom Kaka! Boom Kaka!"

"Woo~"

The steam engine ran slowly, and black smoke came out of the chimney.

With the sound of banging and banging, the steam battleship started to move.

There is no need for a sail or oar to go upstream.

Fangzhou can be reached in seven days.
