Chapter 137: Gongsun Laodao

()Just when Song Qing was puzzled, a guard rushed in, handed a letter to Song Qing, and then turned around and retreated.

The letter was sent from Mizhou. Song Qing opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Shun and the others had arrived in Mizhou. After docking, they immediately asked the new Mizhou prefect Lei Zhiyuan to deliver a letter to Song Qing and report their gains from this trip.

It turned out that after Zhang Shun and his friends headed south, they parked the ship directly outside the coast of Mingzhou and detained all passing merchant ships by force. The ships from the Song Dynasty asked for ships and cargo, and the people rushed back, while the foreign ships and all the ships and people were left behind.

The incident happened too suddenly, and Mingzhou Prefecture had no defense at all. The dock suddenly became deserted. The Maritime Bureau naturally could not watch it. He immediately asked the Sima of Mingzhou to send the newly built navy to destroy the Liangshan Navy in one fell swoop.

The Mingzhou Navy was just formed. Whether it was ships or weapons, it was not a prepared opponent of Liangshan Navy. It was crippled in one battle. If Zhang Shun was a little crazy, he might have gone ashore.

After destroying the imperial navy in Mingzhou, Zhang Shun blocked the sea area while starting to send ships to sweep away nearby pirates.

At that time, the Liangshan Navy was undoubtedly the most advanced, whether it was warships or weapons and equipment, so although there were pirates nearby, they were not opponents of the Liangshan Navy. Some surrendered, some were destroyed, and many escaped.

In a very short time, the sea area was completely cleared.

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Zhang Shun left half of Zhang Heng's navy and ships stationed on an island off the coast of Mingzhou, and returned to Mizhou with his spoils.

The speed of sailing on the sea was relatively slow. After docking in Mizhou, the news was sent back from Mizhou, so the news arrived with the people from the court.

There was no news that made Song Qing more happy than this, and at the same time he also understood Wang Shiyong's purpose.

He smiled and said to Wang Shiyong: "Do you dare to ask if you have any position in the Prince's Mansion?"

Song Qing is not anxious, can Wang Shiyong not anxious? Angran said: "The lower official is currently the secretary of the Crown Prince's Mansion, the general manager. As far as the lower official knows, you are still an official of my Song Dynasty. In this way, you openly plunder the imperial ships and attack them.

What is the difference between foreign merchant ships and rebellion?”

Song Qing's face turned cold and he said lightly: "Mr. Wang is asking me? I'm a little curious. When did the court treat me as a minister? If this is your purpose here, please come back! If the court

If you have the strength, you can grab the ship back.”

"you.."

Wang Shiyong was so angry that he couldn't speak. He wanted to leave with his sleeves, but what should he do if the prince's instructions were asked?

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Sir, the chief officer admits his mistake to you, you said! How can you withdraw your troops and release the detained ship?"

"What detained ship? My men went there? Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

Wang Shiyong's lungs were almost irritated, but he had to swallow his anger and tell Song Qing what happened in Mingzhou again.

Song Qing frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? Why don't I know? These bastards are getting more and more courageous. Please rest assured. After I find out the truth, I will definitely give the court an explanation."

You still have to find out the situation before you can let someone go? Do you think I am a fool?

The situation is stronger than others, and Wang Shiyong had to continue to hold back and said: "Before the official came, the Crown Prince said that as long as the general manager let go of the sea and put back the detained ship, all conditions are easy to discuss."

Wouldn't it be over if I said that earlier?

Song Qing pretended to be pondered for a while and said, "This is how! Lord Wang stayed first. This supervisor will investigate now and will reply to Lord Wang soon."

After all, even if they refused to spit, Wang Shiyong had no other choice but to go down and rest first.

Looking at Wang Shiyong's back, a trace of ridicule flashed across Song Qing's mouth. The blood of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, could not be found in his descendants.

I remember that when the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang in history, they asked the emperor to negotiate in person, and the emperor actually agreed. I can imagine how stupid and cowardly the emperor was, and everyone else could bully him. What's wrong with me?

The ship must not be put, but it is good to talk to Zhao Huan about the conditions. What should I do? Well! The territory cannot be taken anymore, just like the old man often said that greed cannot be chewed, and the current results are to stabilize

real.

After making up his mind, Song Qing immediately ordered someone to call Xie Wensheng over.

Under the guidance of his brother Xie Wenying, Xie Wensheng had the breath of a literati and there were also unexplainable bandits. It was most appropriate to ask him to negotiate with the people from the court.

The prefectures under the actual control of Liangshan have reached the eleven states, but the imperial court has only given them to the two prefectures of Song and Qing in name. In this way, other places will inevitably be a bit unreasonable. So if we can take this opportunity,

, it seems to be good to justify yourself.

At the same time, Song Qing had an idea in his mind, that is, the Jin soldiers could invade the south at any time, and once the Jin soldiers headed south, would the Song court still have time to take care of the affairs of Jiangnan?

Xie Wensheng arrived soon. After hearing the task arranged by Song Qing, he agreed happily, but he still didn't quite understand Song Qing's true intentions.

He scratched his head and said, "Master, do you mean that the court wants you to give you an official position and then take control of these places with justification?"

"Remember, when talking to him, this is my bottom line, but you have to know that I actually don't need anything, all I need is time."

Xie Wensheng didn't read as much as his brother, otherwise Song Qing wouldn't have to say so thoroughly to react. He nodded quickly.

Song Qing felt a little sorry for his bad luck. To put it bluntly, it was because the talents on his side were too scarce. When he thought of the talents, Yue Fei couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Calculate the time, should Yue Fei still be filial to his father at home? I wonder what he thinks about me coming to this point today? It is time for him to make the debut in the Jin army to enter the pass, but with his previous preparation, the court still

Do you dare to use him with confidence?

While thinking of Yue Fei, he also thought of Qin Hui. According to the report of the Neiwei, after telling Zhao Gou of the news of Qin Hui's double spy according to Song Qing's intention, Zhao Gou had already started to hunt down Qin Hui.

This big enemy of Yue Fei in history is now missing. I don’t know whether he was hiding or killed by Zhao Gou.

Qin Hui disappeared, and the evidence about Zhao Gou's treason disappeared, so Zhao Huan was unable to attack Zhao Gou for the time being, but Zhao Gou had become a frightened bird at this time and did not dare to return to Beijing when he hid outside.

Reminding the harm of Qin Hui, Song Qing ordered the inner guard to chase him and bring back evidence of Zhao Gou's treason. Although this thing is not useful now, it is not accurate in the future.

After arranging the affairs of the people coming to the court, another guard came to report that Gongsun Sheng was sick.

Is Gongsun Sheng sick? This scared Song Qing very much and immediately left his business to go to Gongsun Sheng’s residence.

After arriving in Dengzhou, Gongsun Laodao was not in good health because he was tired at sea or because he was getting older.

Song Qing couldn't bear to his fatigue, so he gave all government affairs to Zhu Wu and others. When the old Taoist was free, he simply started to practice immortality and asked Song Qing to build a Taoist temple for him on a mountain in Linhai, and take two of them with him.

The little apprentice lived in.

Song Qingyi was too busy, and he also knew that people who practice cultivation should not be disturbed by others, so he rarely went to his place. Now he heard that he was sick, but he had to go there.

Gongsun Sheng practiced both inside and outside, how could he easily get sick? In fact, to put it in a very popular saying, it is to retreat bravely.

Liangshan Ri has grown stronger, and Song Qing has gradually begun to show his talents. With the current development trend, there is no way to stop him. What else is there to worry about the old Taoist? Moreover, those who practice Taoism should stay away from the world, so he is here.

The opportunity retreated.

When Song Qing hurried to the Taoist temple, he found that Gongsun Sheng was cooking tea, his noodles were rosy, so he looked like he was sick at all?

"Old Master, what are you doing? Who said you are sick? I have to spank him when I go back."

Song Qing said as he sat opposite Gongsun Sheng. There was a teacup. He had already guessed that Gongsun Sheng had something to look for him.

Gongsun Sheng brought the pot and poured a cup of tea for Song Qing, and said with a smile: "Try it, is there any good cooked by your wife?"

Song Qing had the intention to drink tea here, frowned and said, "Old Master, if you have nothing to do, go down the mountain to help me. Do you know how shortage of people are around me?"

Gongsun Sheng took a sip of tea and said, "I'm looking for you today, I want to help you." After a pause, he said, "I plan to go to Nanyang to find the seeds you need most."

"You are going to Nanyang? Your body...?"

Song Qing was confused about Gongsun Sheng's sudden idea. This old guy kept clamoring that he would not have to go on the Shanghai boat again. This time he not only had to go on, but also went so far, so why would he be afraid of breaking his old bones?

Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said, "I know what my body looks like. I remember you once described the scene on the other side of the sea to me. At that time, I always wanted to go and see it except for wondering how you knew. Now I passed by

After more than half a year of observation and experience of going to sea last time, I am already confident that I will go to sea. And if there are really the crops you mentioned in Southeast Asia, I will bring them back, won’t this be helpful to you?"

Of course, forget it, what else can be more thorough than this? But Song Qing always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the details.

Since the beginning of being in Liangshan, Song Qing and Gongsun Sheng had the best relationship. It can be said that Song Qing has today, and he cannot do without Gongsun Sheng's support. In Song Qing's heart, he even felt like a relative of Gongsun Sheng. So Gongsun Sheng went

Song Qing disagreed from the bottom of his heart when taking risks.

It seemed that he knew what Song Qing was thinking, and a warm current surged in Gongsun Sheng's heart. His power and status did not change the true nature of this young man. His original choice was undoubtedly the most correct one.

He smiled and said, "Erlang, I am determined and don't persuade me anymore. I have a question that has been kept in my heart. I wonder if I can ask?"

"You old man, what else can you ask me?"

"Haha! I want to ask Erlang, you have never been to Nanyang, how do you know the situation there?"

This question is really hard to answer. Could you tell you that I came here through time?
