Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 944: Chapter 670: It’s Finally Our Turn to Enter This Chaotic World!

The atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat heavy. Although everyone still didn’t know Yang Chengye’s plan, they had all heard the news that the capital city was under siege.

No matter what, with the capital city under siege, Chongshan Town must take action.

Yang Chengye’s gaze swept across the faces of the crowd, and then he slowly stood up.

Seeing him rise, everyone else also stood up one after another.

“Gentlemen, as officials of the court, we bear the responsibility of protecting the nation and the people. Now that the rebels have surrounded the capital city, attempting to overthrow the court, we must fight to the death for the country and the people!”

Yang Chengye said hypocritically.

Niu Zhuang, however, stood up and said, “The Marquis is right. With the capital city surrounded and the situation urgent, I propose we immediately dispatch troops to the south to support the capital!”

Yang Chengye looked at him and blinked, “Big brother, your acting is a bit fake.”

Jiang Nanguo looked at Yang Chengye, “Marquis, your acting is also very fake!”

“What’s this about the country and the people?”

“What’s this about supporting the capital?”

There’s a saying that could aptly describe Yang Chengye at this moment: Yang Chengye’s intentions are clear to all.

Although Yang Chengye hasn’t shown too much of his stance in Chongshan Town, everyone with a clear mind knows what kind of thoughts Yang Chengye harbors.

In the past, Chongshan Town at least superficially followed the orders of the court, but in the past year, Chongshan Town has almost treated the court as if it doesn’t exist.

Any orders from the court have been suppressed by Yang Chengye, and he has even detained several officials sent by the court.

He’s obvious, not too subtle about it.

Yang Mingwu looked at Yang Chengye, stroked his long beard, and laughed heartily, “Marquis, we are all ready and can set out at any time!”

“Yes, we have been holding back for a long time!” Lu Miaoheng also laughed.

Several Guerrilla Generals seemed eager to make a big move.

Yang Chengye, upon hearing this, beamed with a bright smile.

“Excellent!”

“It’s time for us to take the stage in this chaos of the world!”

With that, he opened the wooden box beside him and took out a square seal from it.

This square seal was small, only two inches and six parts, and it was made of copper.

It wasn’t a golden seal, nor a silver seal, just a small copper seal.

In Da Rong, super-ranking princes, commandery princes, dukes, and marquises have golden seals, standard first ranks to secondary second ranks have silver seals, and below standard third ranks, all have copper seals.

And the small copper seal Yang Chengye held now was not the Marquis Jing’an Seal, but Yang Zhenshan’s private seal from earlier years, which Yang Zhenshan used during his time at Yinghe Castle, An Yuan City, and Tenglong Guard for nearly ten years. People familiar with him from earlier years recognized this seal.

Such as Yang Mingwu, Yang Chengze, Yang Chengxu, Song Dashan, and others.

Looking at this small copper seal, Yang Mingwu’s eyes revealed a nostalgic look.

Now, in his seventies, he was a significant figure in Chongshan Town, but he longed most for the days when he followed Yang Zhenshan.

At that time, he was just a naive young man with not much in mind, just knowing to do whatever Yang Zhenshan instructed.

In the hall, only Yang Mingwu recognized this copper seal; Niu Zhuang had probably seen the imprint of this seal, while others did not understand its significance.

Holding the small copper seal, Yang Chengye’s eyes were full of eagerness.

“This is my grandfather’s private seal from early years, and it shall be used as the Great General’s seal of this marquis!”

“Luo Bo!”

He called loudly.

Luo Bo, standing beside him, promptly responded and then brought forward a stack of letters.

“Seal them!” Yang Chengye said solemnly.

“Issue orders, instruct the Vice General of Beiyuan Town, Song Dashan, to train the troops and prepare for the Wuliang Hu Clan’s invasion!”

“Issue orders, instruct Han Fei of the West Road Daning Guard of Chongshan Town, Dinghu Guard Wu An, to organize and prepare for war. If the Wuliang Hu Clan harasses Beiyuan Town, they will immediately set out to assist.”

“Issue orders, instruct Yang Qinteng of the Jianning Guard and Yang Jishan of the Jinzhou Guard in the central road of Chongshan Town to immediately lead the Rescue Camp south to East Bright Prefecture in Liaoxi.”

“Issue orders, instruct Assistant General of the Southern Route of Chongshan Town Dingliao Guard, Cui Chengwu, East Road Songzhou Guard General Luo Feiyu, to immediately lead the Rescue Camp south to Shanhe Yongping Prefecture.”

“Issue orders, instruct the Assistant General of the Northern Route of Chongshan Town Fuzhou Guard Yang Qinhua to immediately lead the Yang family army to Chongshan Pass!”

The Yang family army, formed by Yang Chengye, was the new army based on the Fuzhou Guard Rescue Camp, and everyone brought back from Divine Wood Island was part of this new army.

The Yang family army consisted of only thirty thousand soldiers, trained just within a year, yet in this year, they consumed a substantial amount of resources.

The medicinal soup Yang Zhenshan made for Yang Chengye all went to the mouths of these thirty thousand soldiers.

At this point, Yang Chengye paused, took a deep breath, and continued, “Issue orders, instruct the Beihai Navy to immediately head south, blockading the East Sea and Ru River waterways!”

“Issue orders, instruct the Five Camps to prepare to move out. Once the Yang family army arrives, immediately head south to Jizhou!”

Jizhou is the gateway to Liaodong. Occupying Jizhou means they can enter the River Province from Shanhe at any time.

And the East Bright Prefecture in Liaoxi and the Yongping Prefecture in Shanhe are also critical places.

East Bright Prefecture is adjacent to Jizhou, just to the west, and is the necessary route from Liaoxi to Longyuan.

Yongping Prefecture is located in the northeast of Shanhe Province, southeast of Jizhou, and east to the sea. Once the Chongshan Town army enters Shanhe Province, Yongping Prefecture can serve as the logistics base for the Chongshan Army.

Grain and materials from Chongshan Town can be transported directly to Yongping Prefecture from Chongshan Pass and Tenglong Guard.

Although they could be sent directly to Jizhou, reaching Jizhou would require transferring to inland waterways, less convenient than Yongping Prefecture.

Therefore, if the Chongshan Army moves south into Shanhe Province, they need to occupy Yongping Prefecture first to ensure the convenience and safety of the logistics line.

It could also be transported directly to Jin Hai Guard, which is currently in the hands of the Xue family. If the Xue family is willing to cooperate, Chongshan Town’s soldiers and supplies can land from Jin Hai Guard.

But Jin Hai Guard is too close to the capital city. If the Chongshan army lands on a large scale from Jin Hai Guard, they might be attacked by Da Liang’s army.

Jin Hai Guard can serve as a landing point, but not now. Instead, it should be used after the Chongshan Army enters Shanhe Province, and then send auxiliary forces to land from Jin Hai Guard.

With orders issued one after another, more than a dozen messengers rode swiftly from Chongshan Pass.

However, this was only the beginning. After everyone dispersed, Yang Chengye returned to the study and wrote several letters, ordering them to be sent out.

From this moment on, the Marquis Jing’an Mansion of Da Rong, the Yang family of Chongshan Town, and the Yang clan of Liaodong would officially appear in this chaos of contention.

The Yang family and Chongshan Town, low-key for twenty years, would reveal their fangs at this moment, baring their teeth and claws before the world.

In the East Road Songzhou City of Chongshan Town.

“Hahaha, I knew that Yang Chengye kid couldn’t sit still any longer, hahaha~~”

Luo Feiyu burst into hearty laughter, receiving the transfer order from Chongshan Pass.

Faced with the chaotic situation of the world, Luo Feiyu had been restless for some time.

Truth be told, if Yang Chengye still didn’t take action, he planned to go to Chongshan Pass and stir up Yang Chengye.

Chongshan Town and Beiyuan Town were different from the Da Rong Court. The Da Rong Court had always tried to avoid having Innate Martial Artists serve in court positions, but Chongshan Town and Beiyuan Town never excluded Innate Martial Artists.

As long as one was willing, they could continue to hold office.

Therefore, such as Yang Mingwu, Luo Feiyu, Yang Chengze, Yang Chengxu, and a number of Innate Martial Artists, still held official positions.

Although many younger generations have emerged and taken up equivalent positions, they are still willing to hold office.

It’s not that they are greedy for power, but they understand they are guardians of the Yang family, left by Yang Zhenshan for Yang Chengye.

“Someone, issue orders to summon all department chiefs for a discussion!”

Luo Feiyu strode out of the study, instructing his trusted aide beside him.
