The crusade against the King of Suzhou lasted until mid-August.
Song Yang summoned all the allies who participated in the crusade against the King of Suzhou and held an alliance meeting in Suzhou City.
All members of the Daqian Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance participated in this alliance.
Some new members have also been added.
Originally the vassals of King Suzhou, when King Suzhou was defeated, they all turned to Song Yang.
The wallflowers didn't contribute much, but they saved Song Yang a lot of trouble.
Different from the autonomous prefectures of alliance members, the prefectures of Jiangnan East Road have become the direct prefectures of Jiangzhou.
Regardless of whether you have a prince or not, you must be directly subordinate to him.
If you don't accept it, I'll cut you!
In the past, alliance members were allowed to be autonomous in order to stabilize the situation. Now that the alliance members have increased, autonomy has begun to be strictly tightened.
After a year of training, Jiangzhou has a large reserve of talents.
There will be enough manpower to be released to guide local work.
This is also the reason why Song Yang no longer allows autonomy.
On August 17, the Suzhou League officially began.
As the commander-in-chief of the battle, Yu Ming read out the results of this battle and the previous battle to recover Tanzhou to representatives of the alliance.
What results have been achieved and what effects have been achieved.
Overall, it took two battles.
The vast hinterland of Jiangnan, stretching from the sea to the east, Huainan to the north, Lingnan to the south, and central Guizhou to the west, is completely in the hands of the alliance.
The richest areas in the south of the Yangtze River are placed here as the basic base, and future revival and development are guaranteed.
"Members of the alliance, many of you have been to Jiangzhou before."
"Everyone should know that Jiangzhou has a five-year plan."
"I hereby confirm that the goal of the first five-year plan is to achieve the complete unification of Daqian and Jiangnan."
"In terms of people's lives, the whole of Jiangnan must be on par with Jiangzhou."
"I will also help everyone build a prosperous Jiangnan living area."
"One prerequisite for this is to have a strong army to deal with all enemies."
"So I want to take this opportunity and formally reorganize all the armies in the alliance into the Renaissance Army!"
"From now on, the entire army must have a unified banner and a unified organization."
"All non-Renaissance Army armed forces are illegal and must be banned!"
Song Yang considered regaining Jiangbei within five years and completely unifying Daqian.
However, due to demographic factors, this problem cannot be solved for the time being.
There are still constant wars in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is certainly more so in the north.
The total population is too small now, and there is simply no room left to run Jiangbei.
So Song Yang planned to run Jiangnan first and then consider the problems in Jiangbei.
That is to say, the recovery of Jiangbei should be included in the second five-year plan.
As for the ethnic minority areas in the Southwest, it is unlikely that the problem will be solved within the first five-year plan, and they will all have to be pushed back.
In the first five-year plan, the first step to straighten out Jiangnan was to straighten out the army.
Now the members of the alliance can be said to be independent, and there is no unity in soldiers, weaving, weapons, and flags.
Song Yang will take this opportunity to unify them.
"My prince agrees with the proposal of the King of Jiangzhou. Let's do whatever the king says! The Jizhou soldiers will be reorganized into the Jizhou Renaissance Army immediately!"
Song Kai, the crown prince of Jizhou, was the first to express his support for Song Yang.
In this troop dispatch, all alliance members sent important figures.
The battle of Tanzhou was so shocked by the hot weapons such as the Crouching Tiger Cannon that everyone completely admired Song Yang.
Song Kai, the crown prince of Jizhou, is now the actual person in power in Jizhou. King Jizhou was seriously injured during the natural disaster and is still paralyzed in bed.
Song Kai took over all affairs of Jizhou from then on.
This man is also very capable.
It can be said that in the entire Jiangnan Alliance, apart from Jiangzhou, Jizhou has the best reconstruction.
The living standards of the people are also much higher than the league average.
Song Yang met Song Kai for the first time last night, and the two had a good chat.
My impression of Song Kai is very good.
Able and courageous; able to do things and do practical things.
"Don't worry, A Yang. Everyone will support your decision in the future. The Hongzhou soldiers will be reorganized soon!" King Hongzhou didn't take the lead. After Song Kai finished speaking, he was busy expressing his position.
The relationship between the King of Suzhou and the King of Hongzhou was not good at first, and there might have been some minor conflicts when they were in the capital.
How come the king of Hongzhou, Songying, is so rare in beating up a drowned dog?
As soon as this guy got Song Yang's call, he immediately led his troops in person.
Song Ying knew about the battle situation in Tanzhou very early.
The power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Song Ying knew that the King of Suzhou would be defeated. How could he give up this opportunity to show his loyalty.
"Yes, yes! Support the prince's decision! We will change it how you say!"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
Other alliance members are also important figures such as princes or actual governing officials.
The Crown Prince of Jizhou and the King of Hongzhou took the lead, and they all followed suit and swore their loyalty.
Originally, the armed forces in hand were all temporarily formed. How could local armed forces be allowed to exist before a natural disaster?
Now Song Yang only talks about adaptation and does not directly confiscate their armed forces, which is already very tolerant.
Besides, they can't defeat the Jiangzhou Renaissance Army in the first place. If they don't change, are they waiting to be wiped out?
Song Yang smiled and pressed his hands, feeling very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.
In terms of the military system, the tone has been set, and soldiers and horses everywhere must be reformed.
This meeting will be unified and responsible for communication with various places.
Some adjustments were made to the original Daqian military system model and some of Song Yang's ideas were added.
The reform process will take some time, and the unification of military uniforms, military flags, etc. cannot be achieved overnight.
These days have set the tone, everyone has joined the circle, and they will slowly adjust later.
The second thing to solve is the economic problem. A slap in the face will always give you a sweet date to eat.
If the alliance is unified and united, its future development will be faster and faster.
Jiangzhou is promoting the industrial revolution. When the industrial revolution is fully rolled out, a large amount of resources and manpower will be needed.
At the same time, it is also necessary to export commodities, machinery and other products.
Alliance members are good candidates.
This alliance is to bring the members together. When Jiangzhou's industrial system is rolled out, upstream and downstream industries will be born among the alliance members.
"Everyone, Jiangzhou is engaged in a revolution that has always transcended the times. I call it the industrial revolution."
"Some people may have heard that this revolution is a revolution in machinery and a revolution in the economic system."
"Many upstream and downstream industries will be born, such as the development of mineral deposits, the procurement of raw materials, the sale of goods, transshipment, etc. There will be huge profits!"
"I will push for reforms. The profits from the upstream and downstream industries will be shared equally by everyone."
Song Yang said it in an extremely explicit way, clearly stating the profits to everyone.
If you want to participate, please unite with me and be a good alliance member, and you will have the opportunity to participate.
After listening to this, everyone was really excited.
Many people secretly decided to send people to Jiangzhou Fucheng to investigate after forming an alliance.
…
Although it was held in Suzhou in a hurry, the effect was obvious.
It established Song Yang's leadership position and ignited the flames of the industrial revolution among the members of the alliance.
At the end of August, Fang Zhe sent some officials to Suzhou to take over the government affairs of Jiangning, Suzhou, Changzhou and other states in the east of the Yangtze River.
Song Yang was not worried that the people below would not cooperate if they came alone.
Jiangzhou is following a mass line. Once the policies are laid out, the people will immediately support them enthusiastically.
Are there any objections?
Don't want to do it?
Get out!
The state capital that was captured by force did not need to be polite at all. It was enough to implement reforms according to Song Yang's ideas.
Beat anyone who obstructs you, beat him until he surrenders, beat him until his body disappears!
Of course, a regulatory system still needs to be in place.
Every year, Fang Zhe would send spies to various state capitals from time to time to investigate the implementation of official policies among the people.
If the performance does not meet the standards, the salary will be reduced and demoted.
These supervision policies are also implemented in Jiangzhou, Ezhou and other state capitals that were first surrendered.
The effect is very obvious. Officials will immediately solve the legitimate problems raised by the people.
Any undecided questions are sent to the higher-level officials. If they are difficult and complicated, they are finally sent to Song Yang for decision-making.
Of course, the current situation is that officials everywhere are very capable.
There are almost no difficult and complicated diseases sent to Song Yang.
Song Yang's system of combining democracy and autocracy is more suitable for the current actual situation.
As for more advanced policies, they will have to be advanced as the times change.
At the beginning of September, the affairs in Jiangning and Suzhou were completely resolved, and officials were able to administer their affairs normally.
Song Yangcai led the Jiangzhou army on the return journey.
This trip took me more than two months without even realizing it.
It was only June when I came out, and it was already early September when I went back.
Passing by Jiangning, Song Yang put Gao Junyan down.
"Master Gao, Jiang Ning will be entrusted to you from now on."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will restore Jiang Ning as soon as possible!"
Gao Junyan was appointed as the prefect of Jiangning, responsible for the reconstruction of Jiangning and the restoration of people's livelihood.
The reason why Gao Junyan was appointed as the prefect of Jiangning was mainly due to the Gao family's connections and prestige in Jiangning.
Gao Junyan has the support of people from the Gao Taishi system, so he can be free in doing things.
In terms of ability and loyalty, Song Yang is assured.
Gao Junyan has followed Song Yang for so long, and Song Yang sees his performance.
Jiangning will not have a military system for a short time, and security and defense will be left to Dangtu to take care of.
Local public security was maintained by Gao Junyan's organized ministries and government officials.
The Jiangning royal family will not exist either.
Without the constraints of the royal family, it will be much easier for Gao Junyan to implement Jiangzhou reforms in Jiangning.
"Son, please don't betray the prince's trust in our family!" Before leaving, the old master took his son and told him.
"Don't worry, father, the child will definitely remember the teachings of the prince and his father!" Gao Junyan assured.
Gao Junyan left twenty Renaissance soldiers as escorts, and Song Yang's fleet continued to return.
Passing through Dangtu, Tonggu, Qiupu and other places, Song Yang also inspected the reconstruction work of people's livelihood in various places.
Especially the new cement plant in Qiupu, Song Yang is extremely satisfied with its scale and output.
The most important thing is that Wang Jinshi's first steam mixer is already operating normally in the cement plant.
With the investment of steam mixers, the efficiency of cement production has been greatly improved.
The replacement of manpower by mechanical equipment is very obvious.
For Daqian, a sparsely populated country, the necessity of the industrial revolution is even more prominent.
