The returning fleet arrived at Yuezhou, and all the soldiers from Yuezhou and the people who had been repatriated to Yuezhou disembarked.
The space on the boat suddenly became extremely spacious.
After arriving in Ezhou, Wang Ran took people off the ship again.
Along the way, he also took over a thousand prisoners with bad deeds.
Under the leadership of Song Tian, they will work hard and rebuild their lives...
After bidding farewell to Wang Ran, the fleet set off here and soon returned to Jiangzhou.
The entire Renaissance Army disembarked and directly replaced the original garrison personnel.
This is the tradition of Jiangzhou soldiers. After a battle, if there is a shift change, they will take turns to rest.
Yu Ming changed the garrison troops, and Song Chengwang ran to the artillery factory.
Wang Jinshi's side built another twenty artillery pieces this month.
The twenty gates left for Changsha City were directly replaced.
Song Yang asked Wang Jinshi to maintain 200 artillery pieces, but in fact this required continuous production.
In the future, all important big cities will be guarded by squatting tiger cannons.
After resting for a night in Fucheng, Jiangzhou, the fleet embarked on a new journey, this time going straight down the river to Dangtu.
When Yu Ming arrived at Dangtu, Song Yang was leisurely fishing by the river.
After the peace talks with the King of Suzhou, he made provocative moves again.
According to reports, the King of Suzhou is repairing the city defense in Jiangning City.
Moreover, many forts were built to the west of Jiangning City, towards Xuanzhou.
Song Yang didn't have time to deal with the King of Jiangzhou for the time being, so he simply calmed down and waited leisurely every day for Yu Ming to bring reinforcements.
As for the war in Tanzhou, Song Yang is not worried at all.
The Alliance army numbered 30,000 to 40,000, and they also brought a hundred squatting cannons, a hundred muskets, and a lot of explosives.
If he still can't deal with those thieves, Yu Ming can just dig into the cracks in the ground.
On the second day of July, Yu Ming's army arrived.
Song Yang smiled and put away the fishing rod and said: "It's a few days faster than I expected. It must be going smoothly over there."
Soon Yu Ming and others disembarked.
"Ah? Uncle Qi?"
Song Yang was stunned when he saw Uncle Qi coming with him.
"Why did you come back when you weren't in Changsha?"
"Mao'er has grown up, and it's time for him to stand up for some things. Uncle Qi is getting older, so he should enjoy his old age!" Uncle Qi chuckled.
"Uh, what you are saying is that you are only in your forties, and you are already enjoying your old age?" Song Yang said speechlessly.
"Haha. Let Mao'er exercise. If I stay in Changsha, he will come over and ask me anything." Uncle Qi said with a smile.
"That's fine. You can live there as long as you like." Song Yang could only nod.
If someone wants to train his son, you can't say no.
Besides, Uncle Qi is here to help him, and Song Yang still knows about this.
"Your Majesty, fortunately, Tanzhou has been restored."
After the uncle and nephew finished speaking, Yu Mingcai came up and said.
"Yeah. I've thought of it for a long time."
Song Yang nodded, turned to Uncle Qi and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Qi."
"Then I have to thank you, Ayang!"
"We are all a family, as we should!"
After everyone was polite again, everyone got off the dock.
As soon as we got off the pier, we saw Master Gao and Liu Min heading this way.
Today Master Gao and Liu Min went to the defense stronghold below to inspect military affairs.
The two of them had just returned and heard that Yu Ming had arrived with an army, so they came over to greet them.
"Eh? King of Tanzhou?"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
When Master Gao saw Song Tong, he was surprised at first and immediately saluted.
"Haha. Grand Master Gao! Long time no see. Get up, get up!" Song Tong enthusiastically helped Master Gao up.
A group of people returned to the camp, and the senior officials were going to hold a meeting.
Everyone sat down and Song Yang made a concluding speech, congratulating Uncle Qi on taking back Tanzhou.
Commend the Fuxing Army’s application performance.
Then Yu Mingcai talked in detail about the combat situation of attacking Tanzhou.
"It's a pity that the bandit leader escaped in the end." Yu Ming's last speech.
Tanzhou got it back and the bandit leader ran away. It was not a big deal.
After all, there are tens of thousands of people, so it is not so easy to wipe out the whole army at once.
No one took it seriously.
After everything that needed to be said was said, Liu Min and others went to arrange a reception banquet.
Only Song Yang, Song Tong, Song Chengwang, Yu Ming and other Jiangzhou cronies were left in the big tent.
At this moment, Song Yang looked at Song Chengwang, who had been drooping his head and said:
"Boy! What's wrong with you? You're listless!"
"Uncle Wang! My nephew made a mistake! Let the bandit leader go!" Song Chengwang stood up and said embarrassedly.
"Oh? What's the reason?" Song Yang asked curiously.
"Uncle Wang...that..."
"Speak quickly! Hesitating!"
Song Yang rolled his eyes at him.
"They held Yuhua hostage! So I..." Song Chengwang said it.
"Who is Yuhua?"
Song Yang asked with wide eyes and curiosity.
This guy has forgotten about Liu Yuhua.
"Liu Yuhua! The daughter of Fengzhou Tongzhi Liu Minghui! I told Uncle Wang!" Song Chengwang emphasized.
"Oh? Oh oh oh! I remember it! I remember it!" Song Yang nodded hurriedly.
"How could this happen? How could they hijack Yuhua?" Song Yang was very puzzled.
It stands to reason that the bandits should not know that Song Chengwang was the general of the Tiger Crouching Artillery Camp.
Song Chengwang scratched his head, he didn't know why.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Yu Ming interjected.
"It's impossible for the thieves to know the personnel situation on our side. They kidnapped Miss Liu's family probably because Miss Liu's family is from an official family and they want some benefits?" Yu Ming could only explain forcefully.
Could it be that you are coveting beauty and beauty?
That Song Chengwang went crazy.
It's hard to explain this matter clearly, so everyone just doesn't talk about it.
Song Chengwang didn't dare to think about that.
Song Yang was silent for a while, then looked at Song Chengwang and said: "Chengwang, you are already a general, you have to take on your responsibilities, and you have to face some things. There are two roads before you now; first
Save Yuhua, then give up Yuhua."
"No matter which one you choose, Uncle Wang will support you." Song Yang added.
Song Chengwang's expression changed several times, he turned to look at Song Yang and said, "I want to rescue her!"
Song Tong had asked this question before. After a few days of thinking, Song Yang asked this question again.
Song Chengwang still answered like this.
"Okay! Then Uncle Wang supports you! Yu Ming, you are responsible for this matter. Be sure to find out the whereabouts of Liu Yuhua!"
"As for how to save...find it and then study it!"
"Now, let's go eat!"
…
the next day.
Everyone gathered together again, this time to discuss whether to capture Runzhou.
There are now nearly 20,000 troops.
After taking Jiangning, 10,000 people can be left to guard Runzhou.
Of course, with more people, there is a chance to annihilate the Suzhou King's forces.
"send troops!"
"Yes! It's time to unify Jiangnan!"
In fact, everyone's opinions are pretty much the same.
Now the Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance has controlled most of Jiangnan.
In addition to Suzhou Wang's group, there is also a group from Lingnan Road.
Lingnan Road has no conflict with the alliance and can resolve issues through peaceful means.
The King of Suzhou is different. The King of Suzhou has great ambitions and has the elite of the Jiangnan camp.
A peaceful solution to the problem is unlikely.
"Okay! Let's send troops then."
Finally, Song Yang made the final decision.
But it's not just the Jiangzhou Renaissance Army sending troops.
This time the purpose was to completely eliminate the King of Suzhou and unify all forces in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Alliance will also send troops.
Of course, they don't need to be the main offensive, they just need to station troops on the border and compress the Suzhou King's living space.
Before the Battle of Tanzhou, Song Yang asked the alliance to send troops. Maybe everyone was still conflicted.
After the Battle of Tanzhou, if Song Yang said a word, the alliance members would immediately carry it out without any objection.
They had witnessed the spectacular sight of hundreds of crouching tiger cannons firing simultaneously in Changsha City.
No one wants to be an enemy of Song Yang.
At the same time, they have also understood that this world still belongs to the Song family, and it will definitely be Song Yang who takes the throne in the future.
The military strength is too strong and no one can defeat it.
Any hostile force is just a piece of shit.
Under such circumstances, how could the alliance members disobey orders?
He even wished he could follow Song Yang in east and west expeditions every day, so as to earn the merit of following the dragon.
As soon as Song Yang's call came out, the alliance army took action again, and soon stationed troops in Raozhou, Fuzhou, Quzhou and other places.
A situation of siege was formed against the King of Suzhou.
In late July, the King of Suzhou took a preemptive strike and gathered an army to attack Dangtu from the land route.
Song Yang could no longer hold back, and the Renaissance Army immediately launched a resolute counterattack.
Two hundred tigers and cannons fired in unison will turn any elite man into a pile of ashes.
A field battle directly frightened the King of Suzhou.
When Song Yang led the army to Jiangning, the King of Suzhou had already withdrawn his troops from Jiangning.
Tan Ma said that the King of Suzhou's troops had withdrawn to their home base in Suzhou.
Song Yang marched eastward and soon pushed to the border of Suzhou.
The alliance army also overwhelmingly defeated the vassal capital of Suzhou King in the south.
"I surrender! I surrender!"
The King of Suzhou was besieged in Suzhou and was completely helpless.
He really couldn't imagine why he was suddenly defeated when he originally had the elite force of Jiangnan Camp.
Where did Song Yang get those rumbling magic weapons?
Fang Yuanliang, Qian Guangzhi and others searched all the classics but could not find any records.
After several rounds of shelling, the King of Suzhou raised his eyebrows and gave up resistance.
"Uncle Wang! If the prince doesn't do what he wants, he has to fight back and forth. Look at how the people of Suzhou City are living!"
The Renaissance Army captured Suzhou City, and Song Yang met with the captured King of Suzhou.
"Alas! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!" King Suzhou just sighed heavily.
"Ha." Song Yang sneered.
"Okay, Uncle Wang, come back with me. There is a boy from Raozhou to keep you company." Song Yang turned around and stopped looking at him.
The King of Suzhou also knew his fate, even if he was under house arrest, it would be a good thing.
He didn't cry out for help either. In terms of integrity, this one was much better than that Song Yu.
After taking the King of Suzhou away, Song Yang accepted all the soldiers and horses of the King of Suzhou.
The elite of Jiangnan Camp have a very good foundation.
Letting them into civilian households is also a waste of resources.
Daqian has not fully recovered, there are still many battles to come, and the fate of these elites is still in the ranks.
The matter of recruiting troops was left to Yu Ming and Ma Cheng.
Song Yang ordered people to summon the members of the alliance who influenced him to call for an expedition against the King of Suzhou.
