Liu Manqing's land allocation in Tanzhou did not win much praise from the people.
It is already early summer in June, and there is no time for spring plowing.
When the people got the land, they were all gloomy and gloomy.
I even resented the Liu brothers and sisters even more, why didn't they give the land to them earlier.
Although it is miserable to have no land to plant, it is a waste to not be able to plant if there is land!
Liu Jinpeng also didn't expect that the people who had divided their land would be even more resentful towards them.
On the surface, Tanzhou, which is calm and peaceful, is already leaking from all sides, and spies from all over the country will send the latest information to their masters every day.
Song Mao and Lin Yong have completely grasped the movements in Tanzhou.
Song Yang also received Song Mao's second letter in mid-June. In the next two days, letters from Song Mao and Yuezhou and Ezhou continued.
"It's time to send out troops!" Song Yang said anxiously to everyone.
"Your Majesty, under my humble duty, is willing to lead troops into battle!" Yu Ming volunteered.
He has already missed the battle twice.
This time I have to fight for whatever I say.
"Uncle Wang! Uncle Wang! I'm going too!" Song Chengwang raised his hands high.
Song Yang smiled and said to the two of them: "Go, go! Let you go!"
"Can I leave my humble job?" Yu Ming said excitedly.
"The enthusiasm is so high, how can I give up easily?" Song Yang said with a smile.
The candidates for sending troops have been decided for a long time. Yu Ming is the commander-in-chief and leads the 5,000 Jiangzhou Renaissance Army.
Song Chengwang was the commander of the Pioneer Tiger Crouching Cannon Battalion, leading a hundred Tiger Crouching Cannons.
Ma became the admiral of the navy and led a thousand sailors and three warships to assist his seventh uncle Song and his troops in entering Tanzhou.
The King of Tanzhou and his seventh uncle Song Tong went to Yuezhou, temporarily guarded Yuezhou, and led Yuezhou soldiers southward.
As for Song Yang himself, he can't go to Tanzhou this time.
This time he is helping Qi Shu regain lost territory. If he participates too much, he will take away Qi Shu's prestige.
At the same time, there were also objective reasons that did not allow Song Yang to go west.
On the contrary, Song Yang is going east this time.
Jiangning's two kings and three kings decided the winner a few days ago.
The King of Suzhou invaded Jiangning.
The king of Runzhou, Song Qiran, was beheaded by him!
In just over a month, when they were originally evenly matched and King Runzhou had the strength to go out to fight, they were defeated so quickly.
Not even the Jiangning city defense battle was fought.
Last year, we were able to use the city defenses in Changzhou, Jiangning and other places to resist the Suzhou King's attack.
This year, it was actually very strong, but it immediately collapsed.
Gao Junyan only sent back the latest battle situation. He didn't know exactly how King Runzhou was defeated.
Because a few days ago, the two groups were still confronting each other at the border...
Gao Junyan is most worried about his father now.
After the fall of Jiangning, the contact between Master Gao and him was of course interrupted.
There has been no news in the past two days. Gao Junyan sent several waves of spies to find out the news, but they did not enter Jiangning City.
However, it is said that the King of Suzhou recruited the troops of King Runzhou into the army.
Because there was no serious fight between the two sides.
The King of Suzhou annexed Jiangning's forces with almost no losses, so he would have the strength to invade Jiangzhou.
So this is the fundamental reason why Song Yang dare not leave.
The king of Suzhou had elites from the serious Jiangnan camp in his hands, and the prince himself was recruiting the troops. Song Yang was afraid that Yu Ming would not be able to withstand the pressure, so he had no choice but to stay on his own.
"Your Majesty, what will happen to Jiangzhou if we take people away?" Yu Ming was a little worried.
"Don't worry, aren't there still a hundred tiger cannons and a warship?" Song Yang said with a smile.
Although Yu Ming took away five thousand people at once, Jiangzhou could easily take out another five thousand.
After more than half a year of development, the Fuxing Army has already grown to 30,000.
If you send 10,000 troops, your home will be safe and guarded.
Five thousand elite soldiers plus squatting tiger cannons, artillery and ships, this is not counting the nearly 10,000 troops under Liu Min in Xuanzhou.
Simply fighting a defensive war is enough.
"Why don't you humble yourself..." Yu Ming hesitated again.
If he wants to fight, he can fight with anyone.
So I want to stay with Song Yang even more.
"Go. Go to Tanzhou. There may not be a fight here in Xuanzhou. Besides, the King of Suzhou just swallowed Jiangning, so he may not come right away." Song Yang patted Yu Ming's shoulder.
"A Yang, we will fight quickly here. After driving away the thieves, we will come back to support you immediately." Seventh Uncle Song Tong said.
As Song Yang said, the war in Tanzhou is right before our eyes, but Jiangning is still unknown.
In addition, Xuanzhou serves as a buffer, so the possibility of Jiangzhou itself being attacked is low.
Therefore, rationally speaking, Song Tong also supported taking Tanzhou first.
"Uncle Qi, don't worry. We have weapons in our hands and we are not afraid of King Suzhou at all." Song Yang said with a smile.
After the deployment of the troops was discussed, Yu Ming took Song Chengwang and set off the next day.
In fact, the men and horses ready to go out have been prepared for a long time.
Once you determine your direction, you can set off directly.
The Jiangzhou Renaissance Army took the overland route this time and went south to Hongzhou, gathering troops at Tonggu and marching into Tanzhou.
Yu Ming, Song Chengwang, Qi Shu and others went west.
Shao Heng and Song Mao were ready to go north.
In addition to Wang Ran, Xue Jing, Lin Yong, Niu Laosan from Fengzhou, and members of the Jiangnan Revival Alliance.
The entire Song Yang and its alliance forces were moved.
The first target is the Liu family's bandits in Tanzhou.
The war between thieves and thieves is about to begin.
…
As soon as Yu Ming and Song Chengwang left, Song Yang immediately started preparations.
He is going to Xuanzhou to inspect military affairs.
He wanted to lead a revival army of 5,000 people. The leader of these 5,000 people was Gongsun Qi.
To go to Xuanzhou, you must take the waterway.
Song Yang estimated that the battle would be mainly water warfare.
Therefore, it is appropriate to let Gongsun Qi be the head coach.
Song Yang has been deliberately cultivating Gongsun Qi.
This guy is also motivated, and when he has nothing to do, he will always discuss troop formations with Yu Ming and Ma Cheng.
After a year of training, I have made considerable progress.
However, his personality hasn't changed much and he doesn't like to chat much.
It is somewhat similar to Fang Zhe's uncle Wan Qianyan.
"Your Majesty, the fleet is ready."
Early in the morning on June 15th, Gongsun Qi came to report Song Yang.
Yu Ming and the others set off on the 13th, and Song Yang prepared for another two days.
"Let's go. Get on the boat!" Song Yang nodded.
"My lord, take care!" Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan reluctantly said goodbye.
"Go back. I am just going to inspect military affairs."
"Memorize the steps for cultivating Penicillium, and remember to prepare the petri dishes. If you don't have enough petri dishes, go to Lao Mo and ask for them." Song Yang instructed before leaving.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will remember this."
"I remember."
During these days, Song Yang began to be busy again, so he could only put aside the penicillin issue temporarily, but he did not stop cultivating the mold.
Song Yang handed over the method to Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan.
They will temporarily take over this work after Song Yang leaves.
…
When Song Yang's fleet set off, it was in a small village near Jiang Ningcheng.
An old man is sitting in a dilapidated old house. In front of him is a middle-aged man who is reporting to him the situation outside.
Through the light of the morning glow, we can clearly see that this old man is actually Grand Master Gao Liangping.
"Sir, there are fewer soldiers patrolling outside."
"Can Jiang Mian leave?"
"We can't go, the King of Suzhou's warships have blocked the passage on the water."
"Hmph! These rebellious officials and traitors! Let's take the dry road, tonight. We don't dare to leave here, so we should leave here as soon as possible."
