It was already May 25th when Song Yang returned to Jiangzhou.
He has been gone for nearly a month.
This tour was full of things.
The most important thing is that he also wiped out a country...
"My lord! I miss you so much because of my humble position!"
When Yu Ming saw Song Yang, he ran over to say hello.
"Bah, bah, bah! What immortality! How could the prince die?" Fang Zhe looked at Yu Mingdao with contempt.
"Ahem!" Yu Ming strategically coughed.
"Okay, okay. I know what you mean, get up." Song Yang curled his lips and smiled, and did not argue with Yu Ming.
"Hehe! Your Majesty understands me!" Yu Ming said with a smile.
"Let's go! Take me to see the camp. I've been away for a month, how have you caused Jiangzhou!" Song Yang patted Yu Ming on the back and pushed him towards the camp.
Yu Ming chuckled and said: "My lord, you have wronged your humble position. Let's go and see it now. I guarantee you will be surprised!"
Yu Ming laughed and seemed confident.
Song Yang said a few days ago that he would come back.
So Yu Ming deliberately concealed something and planned to surprise him.
Now that Song Yang is back, Yu Ming immediately leads Song Yang to the camp in a flattering manner.
"The prince is back!"
"Sure enough, the prince is back! How great!"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
"The prince and the people are all thinking of you!"
When Song Yang appeared in the camp, the people cheered.
After this period of time passed, although the lives of the people were gradually getting better.
But in my heart, I felt that without the leadership of the prince, my life would be uneasy.
Song Yang waved to the people and said to them with a smile:
"Everyone should go and do your own business. I will not leave for the time being when I come back this time. I will have plenty of opportunities to catch up with you all."
"Go ahead and stop crowding around me. Everyone is crowding around me like this, making me look like a monkey."
Song Yang's friendliness made the people laugh.
"Hahaha! Your Majesty can be so funny."
"Let's go, let's go! Your Majesty said you won't leave this time, let's go do our work first!"
"Yes, yes, don't delay the prince's business."
It took a while for the people to disperse.
Song Yang finally saw the changes in the camp.
The original main camp has been completely transformed.
The neat rows of adobe houses are in good order.
All adobe houses have a small courtyard, and some of the small courtyards have green vegetable seedlings growing there.
Looking at the epidemic isolation camp, there are only a dozen straw huts still in use here.
There were not many patients inside, and they were all in good condition. When they saw Song Yang coming back, they all greeted him from a distance.
Song Yang looked at Yu Ming.
Yu Ming introduced hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are only 13 mild patients now, and Dr. Lu said that these mild patients will recover in just these two days."
These 13 patients with mild symptoms actually turned from severe symptoms to mild symptoms.
They recover relatively slowly, so it took a month for them to recover almost completely.
But now there are no serious patients.
After passing the isolation camp, we headed towards the refugee camp.
Song Yang was stunned: "Is this refugee camp so big?"
In his calculations, the number of refugees sent by De'an was only two to three thousand, plus the number of refugees sent by Duchang was 1,800, and finally some local people popped up here and there.
There should be three to four thousand people in total.
This does not include those who have left the refugee camp one after another after the quarantine period has arrived.
It turns out that the size of the current refugee camp must be at least six to seven thousand people!
"Your Majesty! Pei Lin came back seven days ago! And he brought back more than 4,500 people!" Yu Ming said with a smile.
It turns out that Pei Lin, the messenger sent to Pengze to receive refugees, has returned.
Pei Lin left earlier than Song Yang and only came back a month later.
Yu Ming almost forgot about this person.
In the end, Pei Lin came back with a large group of people.
Fortunately, Duchang sent several large-scale canal boats a while ago, otherwise it would have been a problem for so many people to cross the lake entrance.
If Pei Lin only brought back more than 4,000 people, Yu Ming would immediately have to ask Song Yang for help.
After all, there is not much food in Jiangzhou.
But this kid not only brought people back, he also brought food and grass!
A full 2,500 shi of grain, enough to feed four thousand of them for three months!
It turned out that after Pei Lin arrived in Pengze, he did not find the more than a thousand refugees before.
Because he brought enough supplies, he was not in a hurry to go back.
He took two assistants and wandered around Pengze.
Finally, the thousand refugees were found in a village called Dongshengji, a dozen miles south of Pengze.
Of course, those 1,000 refugees have now expanded to more than 4,000.
And the refugees already have a leader.
This person is Zhang Heng of the Zhang family in Dongshengji.
Zhang Heng’s father was the former magistrate of Shouzhou in Huainan Province.
He also obtained the title of Jinshi three years ago, but before the official appointment and dismissal order came, his father died of illness first.
So Zhang Heng had no choice but to go home to Dingyou first.
The Dingyou system of the Daqian Dynasty was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, both lasting three years.
This is an old system inherited from the previous dynasty. Now His Majesty wants to reform this system.
Just didn't have time...
Zhang Heng and Ding were worried that the day had come, and they were originally full of revenge and ready to join the work.
But a sudden natural disaster broke his original plan.
Zhang Heng organized the survivors of Zhangjia Manor, took the initiative to absorb passing refugees, and at the same time sent people to Jiangzhou and Jiangning to report for help.
As a result, the people he sent to Jiangzhou had an accident halfway through.
So after Zhang Heng got the news about Jiangning's expedition, he thought Jiangzhou was completely destroyed.
So Zhang Heng immediately took out the food stored at home to help the victims.
His thoughts were somewhat similar to Meng Yue's, but his methods were completely different.
Zhang Heng felt that if the Daqian court was still there, him taking the initiative to help the victims would definitely make his career as an official smoother in the future.
Moreover, if the Daqian court is gone, he can also rely on the refugees he gathered to form his own force.
It has to be said that Zhang Heng far surpasses Meng Yue and others in terms of long-term vision.
When Pei Lin found Dongshengji, Zhang Heng's first reaction was hesitation.
The main reason is that he is not sure whether Daqian still exists.
If Da Gan still exists, then there is nothing to say.
As a citizen under the rule of Jiangzhou, Zhang Heng would definitely go to Song Yang immediately.
If Da Gan is gone, he will face two choices.
One is to join Song Yang, the king of Jiangzhou, and the other is to go out on his own to do things alone.
These two choices made it difficult for him to make up his mind quickly.
So on the one hand, Zhang Heng stabilized Pei Lin and the others, and on the other hand, he sent his confidants to various places south of the Yangtze River, and even sent two scout horses to the north of the Yangtze River.
So this support lasted for nearly a month.
The last news Zhang Heng received was that 80% of the army was gone.
After some inner struggle, Zhang Heng decided to seek refuge with Song Yang.
This is how Pei Lin brought back more than 4,000 people and 2,500 shi of food.
Of course, Pei Lin himself didn't know the reason.
He only knew that Zhang Heng asked him to wait at Dongshengji, saying that he wanted to see if there were any refugees nearby and take them with him before leaving.
Of course, no matter what the process is.
The final result was that Song Yang gained another 4,500 new troops and continued to strengthen his strength.
After hearing Yu Ming's report, Song Yang immediately said with a smile:
"This Zhang Heng is good, let him come to see me."
