If you want to contribute to the country, you don't necessarily have to go to the front line, we still have some temporary jobs here that need manpower. For example, the porters who help the new army deliver supplies, and the temporary workers in various workshops, these jobs are also paid, so it is better to go and do it for a few days.

Not only can I contribute to the country, but I can also earn the money to go home, and I won't delay anything. If you do a good job, you might be able to get a permanent position in these places.

The first to be numbed was not the organization that helped transport the personnel, they had already made a plan, and everything was going on in an orderly manner. It is the government at all levels that is really dizzy, and the first to bear the brunt is Yangzhou.

King Liang has been in Yangzhou for seven or eight years, and he is a man with two words, exquisite! He has never caused trouble to the local government, let alone fished in the township, and it has benefited him.

In recent years, Yangzhou's taxes have been getting higher and higher year by year, and there is no need to count anything else, just one Yangtze River College can make Guazhou Town more prosperous than Yangzhou City.

But in the past few days, King Liang has suddenly become unusual, or he has revealed his true face. From time to time, a boatload of young men would disembark at the Liangwangfu Wharf and the Yangtze River College Wharf, all wearing armor and bells and whistles of the New Army, some holding crossbows and some holding sticks.

If it is a hundred and ten people, the local government will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, and the power should not be seen by the rich and noble, which of the rich and noble families must not have a little manpower to take care of the family. But there are really too many, there are three to five thousand people in Yangzi Town alone, and the camp is rooted from Liangwangfu to the canal, and the black pressure is a large area.

The chief of the capital of Yangtze Town had the courage to get close to the Liangwang Mansion, and he went to Qianyuzhai in a trembling manner, planning to listen to the story from the female doctor, so he reported it to hand over the errand.

The female doctor has lived countless people over the years, and she must be able to save mortals from fire and water.

She said that King Liang was gathering the old troops of the new army to prepare to go north to defend against the enemy, and Yangzi Town and Guazhou Town were only temporary assembly places, and it would not take a month or two to start.

After hearing this, the chief of the capital immediately became down-to-earth, the soldiers of the King of Liang, it must not harm the people. As for whether these soldiers have the will of the imperial court, it is not for the common people to ask, just report it truthfully.

But when I heard these words, there was a bit of a problem in the ears of the Yangzhou prefect, and the imperial court had no intention at all that King Liang would lead troops north, let alone mention that the new army was not a new army.

Moreover, King Liang has no military power, even if the imperial court is ready to summon the new army to the north, it will not be his turn to summon it, and each state capital has corresponding regimental training envoys and commanders.

According to the law of the Northern Song Dynasty, a private soldier is a rebellion, and the local government must arrest him immediately, no matter how high the other party's title is, if he dares to resist, he will be killed! This is the case, but none of the envoys of the Yangzhou Prefect, including the envoys of the Lianghuai Road, dared to mention the matter of coming to the door to ask about the crime.

Who is King Ryo? That's a god of war with a few thousand men and horses who can completely annihilate 100,000 elite soldiers in Western Xia, and the new army assembled in Yangzi Town and Guazhou Town is not 10,000 but also 8,000, and the nearby state capital can't even get together a regular army except for a little archer, so what can you do to ask for guilt and arrest people?

And the newspaper also said that the northwest border is currently in a fierce battle, and the outcome is unpredictable, once the imperial forbidden army can't bear it, someone really needs to go up, and King Liang is really the best choice.

In addition to newspapers, there are also various doorways in the officialdom to get the news of the central government. Although the war in the northwest has never been publicly reported, well-informed officials have also heard about it, and it is really not a newspaper nonsense.

If you think about it this way, King Liang's failure to keep this matter is really related to the imperial court. As for why no official letter was issued, maybe King Liang didn't take the usual path again, his actions were too fast, and there was a time lag between him and the court procedures.

So the prefect of Yangzhou sent people to the imperial court to report the emergency, and at the same time quietly gathered the armed forces of nearby states and counties into the city, and then closed the four gates. Once there is really any change on King Liang's side, as a local official, it is the greatest merit to work hard to keep Yangzhou City from being plagued by soldiers.

"Distribute weapons and ammunition immediately, I'm afraid we won't have three months, and we will start as soon as the last batch of troop transports on Jeju Island arrives."

Hong Tao was not prepared to harass the people of Yangzhou City at all, let alone report to the state officials. The war materiel of the Forces nouvelles did not have to be levied from the civilian population, but could be provided with vehicles and horses, and the post office could be provided, and ships could be rented from maritime merchants, without the need for the local government to worry about it.

What worries Hong Tao now is that there is not enough time, and the original plan is to spend a month to assemble, and another month to conduct simple training, so that the retired soldiers of the new army can become familiar with combat skills and new weapons.

However, a secret letter sent from Ganliang Road yesterday completely rejected this plan, and Fu Ji detailed the situation twenty days ago in the letter, and the situation was even more serious than Cai Jing had described.

Since mid-April, the Western Xia border has been blocked, and Fu Ji's caravans cannot enter. The news heard from the people seems to say that there is a rebellion among the local tribes, and the Western Xia court is sending troops to encircle and suppress it.

This kind of thing happened once a few years ago, and Fu Ji didn't feel particularly abrupt, let alone take it to heart. It is estimated that the spies of the Great Song Forbidden Army also had the same idea as Fu Ji, and they were all fooled.

Knowing that many herdsmen on the border were unreliable, they simply emptied this area on the grounds of encirclement and suppression, and had a good excuse to mobilize troops and horses to assemble.

It is not known how many troops the Tanguts sent to invade the south this time, how many troops the forbidden army lost, and Fuji, the direction of the Tangut people's next attack.

Now all the traffic passes leading from Ganliang Road to Qinfeng Road have been blocked by Wang Hou's army, no news can be transmitted, no one can get out, and even Fu Ji's messenger can only make a detour to Huangzhou, so it is so late.

However, Fu Ji said that a small Western Xia army had already appeared about 200 miles east of Liangzhou City, and had a confrontation with Wang Hou's defenders, and it seemed that it was not far from the army to press the border.

Wang Hou's handling was quite appropriate, he did not intend to rush into troops until he fully understood the enemy's situation, but actively prepared for defensive operations. The way is also quite absolute, four words, strong walls and clear fields!

He knew that just sending a notice in the name of Shuaiji had no appeal, so he immediately approached Fuji and asked her to help persuade all the farms, pastures, workshops, and pioneers in the vicinity of Liangzhou to abandon their homes and businesses and move into Liangzhou City, leaving not a grain of grain, a cow, a sheep, or a house for the enemy.

Fu Ji also knew what the consequences would be once the enemy besieged the city, so she took the lead in stopping the cotton mill and the woolen mill, and let all the personnel and equipment withdraw to Ganzhou, and the remaining factory buildings were simply burned.

There have always been two systems in Ganliang Road, one is the government and the other is the people. The government naturally respected Wang Hou, but the affairs he could manage were limited to some affairs in the state cities and the regular army of the imperial court, and many civil issues were still decided by the original representative council. It's just that since the revocation of the Special Economic Zone, the congress has become illegal and has gone underground, but its appeal is still the same.

Fu Ji is not a member of the council, but she is the referee of the council, with no voting rights but a veto. This time, she took the lead in responding to the government's call, which greatly touched the members of the congress. After careful consideration, most of the delegates chose to trust Fu Ji.

As long as the results of the delegates' vote are in, the rest will be taken care of. The first to respond were the pioneers, don't look at these people who are usually the most lawless, they can use knives for a few sheep, but when it comes to the critical moment, they are also the most open-minded and righteous.

In their eyes, Fu Ji is the incarnation of Wang Xu, the land and life are all given by Wang Xu, and it will not be a loss to return it now. As long as the invaders are defeated and the land can be recovered, life can still go on. Loss...... No, it's a bit risky to go to this kind of place to beg for a living.

The pioneers have begun to move, and the herders and farm people can't stay either, so they just go together. But they didn't all retreat into Liangzhou and Ganzhou, and the people who left with their property were the elderly, women and children.

The young men spontaneously formed four horse teams according to their relatives, with a total number of about 6,000 people, all of whom hid in the hinterland of Qilian Mountain, waiting for the enemy to besiege the city, and then unexpectedly burrowed out and took a bite.
