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

The letter is from Michigan.Song Qing opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Shun and the others had already arrived in Mizhou, and immediately after landing, they asked Lei Zhiyuan, the new prefect of Mizhou, to send a letter to Song Qing, reporting all the gains of their trip.

It turned out that after Zhang Shun and the others went south, they parked the ship directly off the coast of Mingzhou, and detained all passing merchant ships by force.The ships of the Song Dynasty needed ships and goods, and the people rushed back, while the foreign ships stayed with the boats and people.

The incident happened so suddenly that the Mingzhou government was not prepared at all, and the pier suddenly became deserted. Naturally, the Shipping Department couldn't watch it, and immediately asked Sima of Mingzhou to dispatch the newly built navy to destroy the Liangshan navy in one fell swoop.

The Mingzhou Navy has just been established, no matter whether it is ships or weapons and equipment, it is not the opponent of the Liangshan Navy who came prepared, and was crippled in the first battle. If Zhang Shun was a little crazy, he might go ashore.

After annihilating Mingzhou's imperial navy, Zhang Shun sealed off the sea area while sending ships to mop up the nearby pirates.

At that time, the Liangshan Navy was undoubtedly the most advanced in terms of warships and weaponry, so even though there were pirates nearby, they were no match for the Liangshan Navy.Some surrendered, some were wiped out, and many escaped.In a very short period of time, the sea area was completely cleared.

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

The speed of the ship at sea was relatively slow, and after it landed in Mizhou, Mizhou sent the news back, so the news arrived at the same pace as the people of the imperial court.

There is no news that makes Song Qing more happy than this, and at the same time understands Wang Shiyong's intentions.

Smiling, he said to Wang Shiyong: "Dare you ask what position does your lord hold in the Prince's Mansion?"

Song Qing is not in a hurry, can Wang Shiyong not be in a hurry?He said arrogantly: "My current position is Zhan Shi in the Prince's Mansion, and you are in charge, as far as I know, you are still an official of our Song Dynasty. How is it different from rebellion by blatantly plundering imperial ships and attacking foreign merchant ships?"

Song Qing's face turned cold, and he said lightly: "Master Wang, is this questioning me? I am a little curious. When did the court treat me as a courtier? If this is the purpose of your coming here, please come back! If the court If you have strength, you can take the ship back.”

"you.."

Wang Shiyong was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.He really wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave, but what about the prince's entrustment?

Taking a deep breath, he said, "My lord, I'm going to admit my mistake to you, tell me! How can I withdraw your troops? Put back the impounded ship?"

"What seized ship? Where did my men go? Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

Wang Shiyong's lungs were about to explode, but he had to swallow his breath and told Song Qing everything that happened in Mingzhou.

Song Qing frowned and said: "There is such a thing? Why didn't I know? These bastards are getting bolder. Please rest assured, Mr. Wang. After I find out the truth of the matter, I will definitely give an explanation to the court."

You have to find out the situation before you can release him?Do you think I'm a fool?

The situation was stronger than others, so Wang Shiyong had no choice but to continue to endure his anger and said: "Before the next official came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that as long as the general manager releases the sea route and releases the detained ships, any conditions can be negotiated."

Wouldn't it be over if I said so early?

Song Qing pretended to ponder for a while before saying: "That's it! Lord Wang stays here first, the manager will investigate now, and give Lord Wang an answer soon."

After all, people just refused to spit it out, and Wang Shiyong had no choice but to go down and rest first.

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

I remember that when the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang in history, the emperor was asked to negotiate in person, and the emperor agreed. One can imagine how stupid and cowardly this emperor is, and others can bully him. What can I do?

The boat must not be let go, but it would be good to talk to Zhao Huan about the conditions. What should I order?Um!You can't keep the land anymore, just like the old man often said that you can't eat more than you can eat, and it is true to stabilize the existing results.

Having made up his mind, Song Qing immediately ordered someone to call Xie Wensheng over.

Under the tutelage of his elder brother Xie Wenying, Xie Wensheng has the aura of a literati, but also has an indelible banditry. It is most suitable for him to negotiate with people in the court.

Liangshan now actually controls the state capitals of eleven states, but the imperial court only gave them Song and Qing states in name, so it is inevitable that other places will occupy some unjust names.So if he can take this opportunity to rectify his name, it seems not bad.

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

Xie Wensheng arrived soon, and after hearing the task arranged by Song Qing, he readily agreed, but he still didn't quite understand Song Qing's real intention.

Scratching his head, he said, "Director, do you mean to ask the court to grant you an official position, and then control these places justifiably?"

"Remember, this is my bottom line when talking to him, but you know, I don't really need anything but time"

Xie Wensheng didn't read as much as his elder brother, otherwise Song Qing wouldn't have had to speak so clearly to understand.Busy nodding down.

Song Qing hated that iron could not be made into steel. To put it bluntly, there was too little talent on his side. Thinking of talent, Yue Fei couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

Counting the time, should Yue Fei still keep his father's filial piety at home?I don't know what he thinks about me getting to where I am today?It's time for Jin Bing to enter the pass, but with his previous foreshadowing, does the court still dare to use him with confidence?

While thinking of Yue Fei, he also thought of Qin Hui. According to the report from Neiwei, after Song Qing told Zhao Gou the news of Qin Hui's double spy, Zhao Gou had already launched a hunt for Qin Hui.

The whereabouts of Yue Fei's great enemy in history is now unknown. It is not known whether he hid or was killed by Zhao Gou.

Qin Hui disappeared, and the evidence about Zhao Gou's treason also disappeared, so Zhao Huan was unable to attack Zhao Gou for a while, but at this time Zhao Gou had become a frightened bird, and he dared not return to Beijing after hiding outside.

Sensing the danger of Qin Hui, Song Qing ordered the inner guards to chase him down and bring back evidence of Zhao Gou's treason.Although this thing can't be used now, it will be uncertain in the future.

After arranging for the court to come, another guard came to report that Gongsun Sheng was ill.

Gongsun Sheng is sick?This frightened Song Qing so much that he immediately dropped his business and rushed to Gongsun Sheng's residence.

After Gongsun Laodao arrived in Dengzhou, he didn't know whether it was because he was tired from the sea or because he was getting old, but his health was not very good.

Song Qing couldn't bear his tiredness, so all the government affairs were handed over to Zhu Wu and others.After the old Taoist was free, he simply started cultivating immortals, and asked Song Qing to build him a Taoist temple on a mountain peak near the sea, and lived in it with his two young apprentices.

Song Qingyi was too busy, and also knew that cultivators should not be disturbed by others, so he seldom went to his place. Now that he was ill, he had to go.

Gongsun Sheng cultivated both internally and externally, how could he easily get sick?In fact, to paraphrase a very popular saying, it is to retreat bravely.

Liangshan is growing day by day, and Song Qing is gradually showing his prominence. As far as the current development trend is concerned, there is no one who can stop his footsteps. What worries does the old man have?Moreover, a person who cultivates himself should stay away from the world of mortals, so he took this opportunity to retreat.

When Song Qing rushed to the Taoist temple in a hurry, he found that Gongsun Sheng was cooking tea, his face was rosy, how could he look sick at all?

"Old man, what the hell are you doing? Who said you were sick? I will spank his ass when I go back."

As Song Qing said, he sat down opposite Gongsun Sheng. There was a teacup there, and he already guessed that Gongsun Sheng was looking for him.

Gongsun Sheng poured a cup of tea for Song Qing with a pot, and said with a smile, "Try it, is it as good as your wife's cooking?"

Song Qing wanted to drink tea here, frowned and said: "Old Taoist, if you have nothing to do, go down the mountain and help me. Do you know how short I am of people?"

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

"Are you going to Nanyang? Your body..?"

Song Qing was confused by Gongsun Sheng's sudden idea.This old guy has been arguing that he won't go on the boat again, and this time not only will he go on board, but he will go so far, won't he be afraid that his old bones will be smashed to pieces?

Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said: "I know what my body is like. I remember you once described the scene on the other side of the sea to me. At that time, I was wondering how you would know, and I always wanted to see it. Now after passing After more than half a year of observation, as well as the experience of going to sea last time, I am already confident to go to sea. And if there are really those crops you mentioned in Southeast Asia, if I bring them back, won’t that count as helping you?”

Of course forget it, what could be more thorough than this?But Song Qing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly where it was wrong.

From the beginning when they were in Liangshan, Song Qing had the best relationship with Gongsun Sheng. It can be said that Song Qing could not be what he is today without the support of Gongsun Sheng.In Song Qing's heart, he even felt like a relative to Gongsun Sheng.So when Gongsun Sheng took the risk, Song Qing disagreed from the bottom of his heart.

Seemingly knowing what Song Qing was thinking, Gongsun Sheng also had a warm current in his heart. Power and status did not change the nature of this young man, and his original choice was undoubtedly the most correct.

He smiled and said: "Erlang, I am determined, don't try to persuade me any more, but I have a question that has been lingering in my heart, I wonder if I can ask it?"

"You old man, what else can't you ask me?"

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

It's really hard to answer this question. Could it be possible to tell you that I have traveled through time?

Seeing Gongsun Sheng's wise gaze, Song Qing really didn't know what to say.
