Beiyuan County, Pingyuan County, and Xiyuan County all belong to the Great Plains area of the Song State, but they are backed by Monan County and Qingyun County. They are also the core of the Song State and are heavily defended.
The geographical location of Beiyuan County is extremely important. It is the throat of the Yuan Dynasty's attack on the Song Dynasty. Ningyuan County and Qingyun County can be abandoned. If Beiyuan County is lost, the Song Dynasty's northeast direction will be unsafe to defend, and the prairie cavalry can freely defend it. Entering and leaving the hinterland of Song Dynasty.
Beiyuan County has a very large population, because the conditions here are actually quite good. There is a little water in the thousands of miles of plains, but if you plant drought-resistant crops, the harvest will be excellent.
In order to resist the pressure of the Yuan Empire, the Song State actually invested a large amount of materials in this area. Basically, most of the place was where the Song Army stationed troops, and one-third of the Song State's army was concentrated here.
In addition, the Song Dynasty had to heavily defend against the Tang Dynasty's attack in the northwest direction, which resulted in a shortage of domestic troops. The Holy Spirit Sect started a rebellion and was still unable to conquer it after three years. This was because two-thirds of its military strength was in the northeast and northwest directions. garrison to prevent pressure from the two great powers.
Beiyuan County and Pingyuan County are natural places for the development of agriculture and are extremely important. It is precisely such good conditions that have made the Yuan Empire drool for countless years, but due to the restraint of some kind of force.
Also based on the geographical relationship, the race of the Tang Empire is the same as that of the Song Dynasty, and the language and culture are very different. However, historically speaking, the ethnic groups are still similar. Of course, they are not willing to let the Yuan Dynasty occupy this land. The Tang Empire also suppressed the expansion of Yuan's power behind the scenes.
Dayuan's grassland army crossed Ningyuan County, Qingyun County, and attacked Beiyuan County many times. They were forced to retreat due to the constraints of the Tang Dynasty, and were driven back after multiple invasions.
When they arrived at Beiyuan County, the four of them had no interest in visiting and did not stop at all. They immediately turned south to Pingyuan County.
In order to prevent anyone from recognizing him, Ye Xing wrote a letter asking the two eagles to return to Xuan Yue Manor on the outskirts of Songcheng and tell Tang Xiaoshan and Du Shang to wait for him at the manor.
Along the way, the four of them found out clearly about the civil strife in Song Dynasty. The Song family had actually lost its jurisdiction over many areas long ago, and now it was just on the surface.
The Demon Sect has occupied the entire counties of Qingchuan County and Lichuan County, and is fighting with the Ziyue Sect and the Spiritual Medicine Sect in Ziyue County and Yunchuan County. However, the power of the two major sects, the Ziyue Sect and the Spiritual Medicine Sect, is still strong. Zheng is uniting with the Song Army to fight fiercely with the Holy Spirit Sect.
In fact, many places in Ziyue County and Yunchuan County have been captured, and the Demon Sect has actually opened up the geographical connection between Lingbao County and the nine counties in the northwest.
The two major sects plus the Song Army were still unable to defeat the Demon Sect's army. After three years of stalemate, the situation became increasingly unfavorable.
The two counties under the jurisdiction of the Spiritual Beast Sect have long been independent, and now they are not making things easier for the Song Lord. Monan, the largest in the north, has cavalry and beast soldiers, and Yunhu County in the south is a grain-producing area and an important transportation route. , the Mangyun County controlled by Lord Song had no support as soon as the canal was reached, and was directly taken over by the Tianxing Army.
There are not many Tianxing soldiers, but they have the most powerful combat effectiveness. Because they are flexible in combat and never engage in close combat. In addition, they are equipped with powerful unknown weapons. They have only been dispatched a few times, but every time they have completely defeated the Demon Sect's troops. The army was destroyed.
You know, the Demon Sect defeated the combined efforts of the Song Family, the Ziyue Sect, and the Spiritual Medicine Sect, but they were all defeated three times by the Tianxing Army.
It is said that the Tianxing Army is currently at odds with the Demon Sect at the border of Mangyun County and Lingbao County. In Ziyue Yunchuan County, the Demon Sect is still fighting privately with the allied forces of the Song Family, Ziyue Sect, and Lingyao Sect. , the Spirit Beast Sect was guarding the canal in Yunhu Lake and gathering forces in Monan, with unknown intentions.
The most frightening thing is that the Tang Empire is also acting abnormally on the northwest border, and the Yuan Empire in the north is watching with eager eyes.
The rule of the Song family was actually in danger throughout the Song Dynasty. Now many places had refugees, and many neighboring small countries were also worried and closed their countries.
More than ten days later, the four of them arrived at the Xuan Yue Manor outside Song City. Tang Xiaoshan and Du Shang, who had already received the news, were both there. They hurriedly welcomed the four of them inside and arranged the best food to welcome them.
After not seeing each other for more than six years, the two of them have become extremely mature in appearance, obviously much more mature than the four of them. They are already married and have children.
But their family did not live here. Instead, they bought all the adjacent land and built a villa on each side. To the outside world, the two of them were nouveau riche, doing some buying and selling business.
Ye Xing let the two of them stay with him for a few days. One was to improve their strength, and the other was to let them report on their situation over the years.
The two's strength progressed very slowly because they were busy with affairs, but they had reached the peak of the eighth innate level. With Ye Xing's guidance and the help of top-quality elixirs, they advanced to the ninth innate level in three days.
Ye Xing gave them many powerful pills and asked them to develop their power and train assistants. The most important thing was to develop and strengthen their power as quickly as possible.
According to the description of the two people, Nighthawk has already completed its layout in the entire Song Dynasty, major cities in the Tang Dynasty, some areas in the Yuan Dynasty, and many places in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.
In six years, with financial support and the pills and techniques given by Ye Xing, the two now have a team of thousands of people with top combat capabilities, which are now scattered everywhere.
Ye Xing asked the two of them to divide a small part of their strength and move to the prairie in the northeast. In the future, the prairie will be used as a core base.
Ye Xing explained his plan to the two of them. That small space was not too far from the northeastern grassland of Dayuan. It was the strategic rear that Ye Xing must have in hand.
I heard that Ye Xing found another secret cultivation place, which was also a treasure, and he was very happy.
Ye Xing's plan was to occupy the northeastern prairie, and the two of them were very bold and excited.
Ye Xing smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, but when the Great Yuan Empire invades, our Tianxing Army will dominate the world, and the grassland will be ours sooner or later. We are just thinking ahead."
The two nodded, how heroic and heroic the leader was, the world was like a chess piece in his hand, allowing him to place it at any time.
Ye Xing asked the person in charge of Xingyue Logistics in Songcheng to report on the work. Now Songcheng is the headquarters and has little power. The person in charge is Ye Xing's student and Gu Quanzhi, who has followed Ye Xing for many years.
Gu Quanzhi recounted the situation of Xingyue Logistics. Xingyue Logistics is now located in all major cities in the Song Dynasty. It has branches in Tang Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty and other small countries. It mainly handles letters, small items, and other items for civilians. Financial Services.
Banks have been opened in various places, and the wealth under their jurisdiction now amounts to tens of billions of taels of silver.
Because every place we go to, we cooperate with the local big forces on a demutual basis, and there is no official record in the name of Xingyue Logistics, so we are not very visible. It can be said that we now basically control the private financial economy of the Song Dynasty. .
Ye Xing made two requests to Gu Quanzhi:
The first is to speed up the establishment of business in Datang, Dayuan, Nanman and all small countries. If there are any obstacles, let Tang Xiaoshan and Du Shang help. They will provide 10% of the annual benefits;
The second is to network telegraph services as soon as possible, to become an information center, and to start charging external information service fees.
Gu Quanzhi thought for a while and suddenly laughed. He really figured out Ye Xing's true meaning and wanted to defeat Ye Xing.
Ye Xing gave Gu Quan a hand, refusing to let him bow, and said, "I said! Never bow! I want to improve your strength now. If you are free, come back as soon as possible. If you are not, you can come here to receive my new training. Panacea, Tang Xiaoshan and Du Shang will help you."
Ye Xing stayed at the manor for a few days, and many brothers came back to meet them. There were also two serving in the army, but most of them were fighting on the front line. Ye Xing gave help and encouragement to each of them.
These people are all now successful or rich, and they are still around thirty years old. They are all young and powerful, and very heroic.
All of them are Ye Xing's students. They admire and respect Ye Xing extremely, and their respect for Ye Xing is unparalleled.
Ye Xing only has one request, "Help your brothers more!"
Everyone clapped their chests and promised Ye Xing that they would keep their promise.
Ye Xing left two storage bags and a batch of elixirs to Tang Xiaoshan and Du Shang, and then took the Xingyue Logistics ship south.
Now only the ships of Xingyue Logistics can enter Yunhu County, and the ships of Xingyue Logistics are equipped with weapons and equipment. Although they are not very powerful, they can crush ordinary bandits.
Coupled with the branches in various places, which have been strengthening their strength over the years and cooperating with local forces, large ships flying the star and crescent flag are basically able to pass without hindrance.
This return gave Ye Xing new ideas and revised his plans for the future again, because now he has a small space, which is his biggest capital.
The speedboat that Ye Xing and the other four were on returned to the south without any hindrance.
