Chapter 159: Celebrity Effect

() Li Qingzhao, a famous female poet in the Song Dynasty. The eternal quatrain "If you are a hero in life, you will be a hero in your life. I will still remember Xiang Yu until now, but I will not be willing to cross the east of the Yangtze River" has made Song Qing still remember it vividly.

Song Qing knew that he was not a cultural person, and he didn't like the lyrics of verbal words. In his previous life, he liked Li Qingzhao's poems, but he had never learned about her in depth, so he had no idea that Li Qingzhao's home was actually in Licheng, Jinan Prefecture.

So when I heard that Li Qingzhao came to visit her, the deepest impression of her admiration for this female celebrity was welcomed out of her heart without even thinking about it. Beautifulness had nothing to do with her. Moreover, many poets at that time were discovered by later generations, but their reputation was not very prominent at that time. Otherwise, Song Qing would not have known her for so long after she had arrived in Jinan Prefecture.

Li Qingzhao had no impression of Song Qing in the past, but she began to pay attention to this person since Song Qing led his troops to fight against the Jin soldiers, rescued Bianliang from danger, and returned to Shandong with resentment and injury.

Li Qingzhao originally lived in the capital with her husband, but this time she went home to take refuge because the Jin soldiers besieged the capital.

She admired the patriotic people the most in her heart, and at the same time she expressed deep sympathy for Song Qing's experience in the capital. So when she heard that the Song Qing family was happy to win a daughter, she immediately had the idea of ​​recommending herself as a mentor for two girls. One is to agree with Song Qing's patriotic actions.

In addition, because of the atmosphere of men being superior to women at that time, she could not show up casually, but her whole body of learning and her thoughts hoped that someone could pass on it. The daughter of the Duke of the State was of course the best candidate.

Li Qingzhao's husband Zhao Mingcheng was originally the governor of Laizhou. He was transferred to Beijing the year before Song Qing took over Shandong. At the same time, it was the Jin soldiers' invasion that caused the originally loving couple to be separated, because her husband was also a pessimist and always advocated surrender for peace. So Li Qingzhao returned to his hometown alone. I believe that if her husband knew that she had entered Song Qing's mansion, she would have to leave her. It is also from this point that she is different from ordinary women.

She came to see Mrs. Song Qing, but she didn't expect that the dignified Duke Liang would come to greet her in person? She was really flattered for a moment.

Song Qing had seen too many celebrities in this era, but this was the first time he saw a famous woman, especially the author of "If you are a hero in life, you will be a ghost hero even if you die." However, when he saw Li Qingzhao, Song Qing woke up and became a little abrupt.

After instructing the servants to serve tea to Li Qingzhao, he said, "I have heard of the name of the lady for a long time, but I have been plagued by ordinary things. I have not met you yet, so I hope the lady will forgive you."

Li Qingzhao is not tall and fair-looking. It can be seen that she should have been a beauty when she was young. She was not nervous or artificial when she saw a big man like Song Qing, which made people feel good at first sight.

He bowed to Song Qing and said, "It should be that the civilian woman is abrupt. The civilian woman just heard that the Duke of the State is happy to have a daughter, so I came to congratulate her. I hope the Duke of the State will not be disgusted."

"Haha! No wonder, no wonder, it should be Song's honor. To be honest, I'm worried about what name to give my little girl. It happened that the female husband came. Song took the liberty and wanted to ask the female husband to name the little girl?"

There have been rumors in the city that the country is fair and approachable, and now it is true.

Li Qingzhao then nodded with a smile, even if she agreed.

Song Qing immediately ordered Xiao Duozi to invite Li Qingzhao into the inner house, and several wives were welcomed by them.

Li Qingzhao's sudden visit undoubtedly reminded Song Qing, that is, the benefits of celebrities. Now that Shandong is developing rapidly, it seems that talents are enough for the time being, but in the future, it is impossible for him to only live in this part of Shandong, so the training and reserve of talents must be put on the hierarchy.

Now that I have a reputation for loyalty and righteousness, I am the Duke of Liang, who was specially appointed by the imperial court, is no longer a bandit, and it is time to recruit talents.

He made up his mind and immediately called Xiao Rang and ordered him to draft a recruitment order to recruit talents in the world. As long as you have real skills, no matter your background, you will definitely use it after you arrive in Shandong.

It can be said that it was the imperial court that the social turmoil accelerated the loss of talents in the Song Dynasty. The rising forces of Liangshan, like new stars, undoubtedly brought hope to these poor children who were determined to show their strengths but had no way to serve the country.

The fact that Song Qing did not come into contact with the circle of literati does not mean that others were like him. The news that Li Qingzhao was the female attendant of the Duke's Mansion soon spread in this circle, and the news that he was approachable and treated scholars well also brought unexpected results to him.

For a time, many literati who failed the title flocked to Shandong, bringing a different kind of prosperity to the development of Liangshan forces. This was something Li Qingzhao didn't expect.

When Liangshan was in full swing, it was a different scene in the Jin Dynasty's visit to Beijing.

Due to the loss of troops and generals in Jinan Prefecture, the upper-level officials of the Jin Kingdom were a little restless. Some suggested sending troops to fight and avenge them, some advised the emperor not to pay attention to the clown in Liangshan, and some suggested that the Great Vajra Kingdom should cultivate and rest, and not use any more weapons, etc.

Wu Qi made arbitrary decision and no one paid any attention to it. He rewarded Wanyan Zongwang, who withdrew his troops without his consent. He knew very well that when Liangshan troops were defeated and Wanyan Zongwang was alone in the army, withdrawing the troops was undoubtedly the best choice, that is, he preserved his strength and at the same time, he also saved the face of Dajin.

Wanyan Gao was not punished because of his special status. As for Tian Hu who escaped, Wu Qimai still couldn't take care of him for the time being. However, it would probably be a bit difficult for Tian Hu to get the support of the Jin Kingdom.

The Liangshan people were so powerful that Wu Qimai had to re-examine this bandit who wanted to marry his daughter.

According to Wanyan Gao, there is a mysterious weapon in Liangshan that can be buried underground and explodes when the cavalry step on it. It is extremely powerful but it is hard to defend against. It can be said that it is the nemesis of their Great Jin Iron Cavalry.

Thinking about this kind of weapon that can be buried underground is really a headache. While Wu Qimai ordered the military weapon surveillance to crack this thing as soon as possible, he sent a secret agent to go deep into Jinan Prefecture to find out what kind of weapon it was.

At the same time, the departments were ordered to recruit soldiers and must build a jing army of 500,000 people next year. The Jin Dynasty had never suffered such a great loss since its founding. If the Song Dynasty was not destroyed and the Song Qing in Liangshan were pacified, how could it be worthy of the ancestors? And his heart that had been filled with anger.

Just when Wu Qi bought soldiers and horses to attack the Central Plains again next year, a group of envoys from Goryeo came to him.

Speaking of this King of Goryeo, Wang Gou was a two-faced man. After dealing with the Liangshan Navy, he regretted it.

Population is productivity, which is a truth that fools understand. If you have taken away all people in Liangshan, who will plant the land in our country? If you taste the sweetness, you will have two today and three tomorrow. If this continues, I will not become a commander without a single person?

But the strength of the Liangshan Navy is really not something that the Goryeo army can defeat. What should I do? After thinking about it, Wang Gou finally focused his attention on the Jin Kingdom, which was fighting against the Central Plains. He still used his useful skills to move the disaster eastward.

Wang Gou's request was simple and practical. As long as the Jin Kingdom settled Liangshan, Goryeo would be the vassal state of the Great Jin and would always surrender to the Great Jin.

Wu Qimai knew what kind of Korean people were. What moved him was not the vassal state of Goryeo, but the special geographical location of Goryeo, which was located near the sea.

Wu Qimai's idea was that Song Qing could come across the sea. If I also formed a navy, even if I could just swim the troops to Dengzhou fleet. At that time, attack him from both sides, see where Song Qing will escape?

After making up his mind, he immediately sent someone to contact the Goryeo envoy and told the Goryeo envoy that Dajin could help Goryeo resist the Liangshan Navy, but the condition was that Goryeo provided a secret port and provided the materials and funds needed for shipbuilding. As for the shipbuilding master, the Jin Kingdom was responsible for providing it.

Wu Qibu was not familiar with maritime affairs, but Wang Gou knew a little. So when he heard that the Jin Dynasty also wanted to build ships and navy to compete with Liangshan, his heart was disappointed.

I thought you were a man who played house? Is this navy able to build it just by building it? How much money does it cost? Then, will you be the target of Liangshan Navy? I am afraid that you will suffer in the end.

It was too late to regret, so of course he didn't dare to say that it was no, but the envoy gave his suggestion tactfully.

However, Wang Gou still underestimated Wu Qimai's intention to destroy Song Qing, and he was also a great Emperor of Jin. You said that he could not create a navy. Isn't he looking down on anyone?

Wu Qimai ignored Wang Gou's fault and directly sent people to Goryeo to choose a site and build a shipyard. At the same time, he ordered people to hire a shipbuilder with high salaries in the Song Dynasty.

At that time, the spy probes in Liangshan were undoubtedly the most efficient. So when the Koreans were jumping up and down in Shangjing, Song Qing received a report.

What did the Goryeo people go to the Jin Kingdom to do? I remember that Goryeo seemed to be a vassal state of the Great Liao Dynasty, and it is normal to become a vassal state of the Great Jin Kingdom now. However, Song Qing immediately thought of Wang Gou's promise to his 2,000 households, and he understood it in his heart.

This kid is looking for a backer! He didn't make him honest last time. Now there is no war in the Central Plains for the time being, and he has also recovered. It seems that it is time to send a long-standing navy to teach him a lesson.

Meng Kang had already reported to Song Qing that the Qingyuan, the second super warship of Dengzhou Shipyard, has been launched and can be put into use at any time.

After Song Qing made up his mind, he arranged the affairs of Jinan Prefecture first, and then set off to rush to Dengzhou immediately. This time, unlike last time, if Goryeo wants to be completely honest, he must fight on the land.
