() Although Song and Qing were eager to return to Liangshan, they couldn't rush back immediately. On the way back, they also had to experience the people's feelings in these places they occupied.

Song Qingxuan's first stop was Weizhou.

A few days ago, General Hu Yanzhuo wrote in a letter saying that the troops had already entered Qingzhou, but according to Song Qing’s instructions, they did not have any contact with the local officials, but only protected the people and wiped out the rebellious bandits. The backbone, if you have something to do, go to Liangshan Daying for help, basically the Qingzhou government is almost empty.

What Song and Qing wanted was this effect. As long as the people's hearts were in Liangshan, and there were Liangshan's troops in Qingzhou, it was no different from actually controlling Qingzhou.

From Dengzhou to Laizhou, and then to Weizhou.Song Qing is still very satisfied with this journey.

Liangshan eradicates evil, protects legitimate businessmen, and supports poor people.This series of policies to benefit the people has won the absolute support of the people in these places, and even many young and old people have asked to join Liangshan's team.

Song and Qing are not in a hurry to expand their troops yet. Liangshan is taking the route of elite soldiers on the one hand, and on the other hand, these places occupied by Liangshan are vast and sparsely populated. If these young and strong are taken away, who will grow the land?

The people regard food as their heaven, and only if the people have enough to eat, will they not turn against you.

The yamen in many places are still officials from the original court, and they can be kept because they have no bad deeds.Song and Qing treated such officials equally, and the treatment was much higher than that of the original court.

There is no danger to life, the treatment is good, and the people under the rule can live and work in peace and contentment.Who wouldn't want to be such an official?Therefore, the officials in these state capitals occupied by Liangshan are quite quiet.

I don't dare to say that I am conscientious, at least I manage my own jurisdiction seriously, and I don't hold Song Qing back.

At this time, Qizhou, the seat of Jingdong East Road, was already in turmoil.Since Deng Shiguang, the appeasement envoy, took away most of the people and never returned, Qizhou, the former location of the appeasement envoy's Yamen on Jingdong East Road, has existed in name only.

The prefectures on Jingdong East Road are basically under the control of Liangshan, and the order of the appeasement envoy's yamen can't go out of Qizhou at all, even if they go to other prefectures, they are also ignored.However, the imperial court has not responded at all until now, and seems to have tacitly accepted Liangshan's occupation of these places.

The magistrate of Qizhou was in constant panic. Sometimes he even thought that he might as well resign or flee back to the capital, so as not to worry here about whether Liangshan would call.

If he talked about surrendering, he didn't dare. After all, Qizhou is close to Hebei East Road. If the imperial court raised troops, where would he go?Besides, surrendering to the thieves was extremely unwilling for a man who had read sage books.

However, the news received in the past few days finally reassured the magistrate a lot. The imperial court has sent additional troops and mobilized supplies in Xuzhou, Dezhou and other places. It seems that they are going to crusade against Liangshan.

The magistrate's good mood didn't last for a few days, and then he received news that the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy of the Huaiyang Army was completely burned down by a sudden fire. Not to mention, it is said that the Jiedu Envoy was also burned to death.Many military materials dispatched by the imperial court were also burned.

How the fire started, although the magistrate didn't know, but his intuition told him that this incident must have something to do with Liangshan.

Immediately afterwards, news came from Dezhou that the official warehouses in Dezhou City were also set on fire, the government office was stolen, and all the 10 taels of official silver stored in the government office were stolen.

At this time, even a fool knows what's going on.

Liangshan troops will come sooner or later, and they will definitely not be able to defend the city at that time, and they are afraid of losing face if they surrender.

After much deliberation, the magistrate simply hung up the big seal, rolled up the gold and silver, and sneaked away with his family at night.

The magistrate disappeared, Qizhou's Biejia, Changshi, Sima and other officials were dumbfounded, and immediately sent someone to report to the court, but they also forgot one thing, that is, all the post stations on Jingdong East Road are under the control of Liangshan Among them, their urgent report to the court was not sent to the court, but to Song Qing.

At this time, Song Qing had already passed through Yizhou, and when he received the secret letter, he couldn't help thinking.

The capital city of Qizhou was later Jinan, with high walls and convenient transportation, it has always been a battleground for military strategists.Song Qing had been coveting there for a long time, but they didn't want to provoke the court too much, so they didn't send troops to occupy it.

However, looking at the state of Qizhou now, it is a good time. Should we send troops directly, or like Qingzhou, first stir up chaos and then take the opportunity to send troops?

In fact, Song Qing had another idea in mind.

Facing the sea, Dengzhou is developing rapidly, but it is not suitable as a capital city.But Qizhou is different. It has convenient transportation and connects the north and the south. It is the first big city in the Shandong Peninsula.

Facing south and facing north, ascension to the throne as emperor is something in a dream, but with the development trend of Liangshan, isn't it also developing in this direction?

With the expansion of the territory, neither Dengzhou nor Liangshan is suitable as the center of the Liangshan regime. There must be a central city that can better adapt to the development of Liangshan. As far as the current situation is concerned, Qizhou is undoubtedly the most Good choice.

After making up his mind, he immediately ordered Lin Chong to change his route to Qizhou.

Song Qing didn't bring many people back this time, only five thousand.But as the guards of the Song and Qing Dynasties, these 5000 troops can be called the elite of the elite.

Although Lin Chong was anxious to go back to see his grandson, he knew that the military order was like a mountain, so he immediately sent someone to transfer to Qizhou.

Only the Mingyue sisters dared to ask Song Qing to see the baby anxiously, and Song Qing could understand their feelings.So Wu Song was sent to lead a team of people to escort them back to the mountain first, while he continued to march towards the capital city of Qizhou.

Although the prefect of Qizhou ran away, under the support of officials such as Biejia and Changshi, the yamen was still operating normally.It's just that these two adults don't know that Liu Sima, who is in charge of military affairs in Qizhou City, has already been bought by Liang Shan.

The two adults, Bie Jia and Chang Shi, are looking forward to the news from the court day and night, while Liu Sima is looking forward to the early appearance of Liangshan people.

This day, Liu Sima was working in the yamen, and suddenly someone came to report that a distinguished guest had come to his house and asked him to go back immediately.

Liu Sima was puzzled, he could be called the number three person in this city of Qizhou, even Bie Jia and Chang Shi would give him some face, who would dare to call him a distinguished guest in front of him?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he put down his official duties and rushed home.

Liu Sima was born in the military, and his vigilance is relatively high.Before he got home, he felt that there were many strange faces around his house, and most of these people with weapons were tall and strong, with cold and handsome expressions, and extremely unfriendly eyes.

Liu Sima's heart tightened, and he thought to himself, who are these people?How could it appear around my house?

While he was in doubt, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him. Looking carefully, isn't this the Liangshan hero who has been in touch with him all the time?

The visitor cupped his fists slightly at Liu Sima, and said with a smile: "Liu Sima, my master is here, and I want to see you, and I'm at your home right now."

Your master?

Liu Sima was taken aback for a moment, then remembered someone, and almost fell down in fright.

Trembling, he said, "But the chief executive is here?"

The visitor smiled mysteriously and said, "Go! Don't make the master wait."

Liu Sima didn't dare to neglect, and rushed into the house in three steps and two steps.

Liu Sima's house was not as heavily guarded as he had imagined. Except for a giant man standing outside the flower hall, nothing changed.

The people who followed Liu Sima bowed to the iron tower, and after reporting Liu Sima's identity, the iron tower gave way and allowed Liu Sima to enter.It seems that this is not Liu Sima's home, but Loyalty Hall in Liangshan.

Liu Sima no longer has any feeling in his heart, if it's not his home, it's not his home!If you offend this master, let alone your family, it's hard to say whether you can save your life.

Walking quickly to the hall, I saw a handsome young man looking at him kindly.

Liu Sima knew that Liang Shan was a handsome young man, so he knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.

"Subsidiary Qizhou Sima Liu Chengliang has met the chief executive"

It was Song Qing who came here. Although Qizhou is still under the control of the imperial court, there is no force in the city that can threaten him. Besides, there is a big nephew here. What is there to be afraid of?

Standing up to help Liu Sima with his own hands, he said gently: "Liu Sima has worked hard, you have done a great job in resolving Qizhou peacefully for me in Liangshan, I will definitely remember it in my heart."

Liu Sima was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "This is what the subordinate should do. The general manager came to Qizhou personally, but he wants to use troops in Qizhou? What should the subordinate do?"

Song Qing smiled, this guy is more anxious than me.

Shaking his head, he said: "If you can send troops, Qizhou is already in Liangshan's hands, and you can't over-irritate the court now. I came to you because I want you to find a reason to control the two chief officials, Biejia and Changshi. I will match you. Then you will control Qizhou City to confuse the court’s eyes and ears.”

Liu Sima understood a little bit, the chief manager is going to play with Ming Xiu plank road and secretly hide Chen Cang!By himself, the court thought that Qizhou was in the hands of the court, but it was actually controlled by Liang Shan.

He clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, chief manager, the subordinates will go and arrest them right away, and the chief executive will never be missed."

"Very good, go!"

Song Qing came to see him in person, of course, with the intention of investigating, to see if he was up to the task he had given.So far, Song Qing is still very satisfied with this Liu Sima.

After taking down Qizhou Biejia and Changshi, Song Qing asked Liu Sima to draft a memorial to declare to the court that the magistrate had fled, Biejia and Changshi's intentions were wrong.Then he sent someone to tell Liang Shicheng that he should win the prefect of Qizhou to Liu Sima.In this way, Liangshan can truly control Qizhou City.

Liangshan didn't send anyone to make trouble, so the law and order in Qizhou was relatively stable. Occasionally, a few yamen servants could be seen wandering around on the streets, and there were hardly any officials.

But today seems to be a bit unusual, I don't know that a large group of officers and soldiers appeared from there, after blocking the street, under the leadership of Master Sima Liu, they went straight to the government office, and captured the two adults who were unsuspecting, Bie Jia and Chang Shi. , and then went to their homes, and put the two adults' families and children in prison together.

The people in the city, including the government officials, didn't know what was going on.At this time, Liu Sima posted a notice announcing Bie Jia and Chang Shi's corruption and perverting the law, and explained that they had reported it to the imperial court, asking the common people and officials to feel at ease, etc.

Then Liu Sima, who acted vigorously and resolutely, replaced a group of city defense officials and generals in the name of rectifying the party members of two corrupt officials.Completely controlled the capital city of Qizhou.

At this time, Song Qing had already wandered the streets of Qizhou, admiring this ancient city.
