Chapter 81 Children's advice

In the roaring cold wind, a team of Liangshan cavalry was driving towards Liangshan Zongzhai with several carriages.

Tong Guan sat in the car and looked at the narrow outline of Liangshan, which was getting closer and closer through the cotton curtain opened by him. It can be said that his heart was full of mixed feelings. This place left him with too many memories.

He said that Tong Guan was not afraid of death, and I'm afraid he didn't believe it himself, but he still accepted the task happily.

Many people, including Cai Jing and others, don't understand why Tong Guan has changed so much, because Tong Guan's heart has changed from the moment he accepted the task.

Tong Guan was also a famous general, but he was more famous for his timidity and greed for money. Nowadays, there is a lot of smoke in the Song Dynasty, and even there is no reason for him.

Searching the people and forcing local officials are some of the incentives to force the people to rebel. But to be honest, Tong Guan, like the old emperor, did not take these rebels too seriously, but only Liang Shan and Song Qing made him feel threatened, which was a kind of fear hidden in his bones.

However, although he felt that Song Qing was threatened, Tong Guan did not believe what the climate would be. But when he knew the emperor's whimsy.

Tong Guan knows that the Song Dynasty is over.

Tong Guan is also greedy for money, but his vision is obviously farther away.

The world is anti-flags everywhere, and Liangshan, who is close to Bianliang and strong, has no movement at all. If there is no problem, he doesn't believe it to kill Tong Guan, because he also knows Song Qing very well and knows that he is a master who doesn't take advantage of the bastard.

And the old emperor actually put forward this strange idea at this time, and Tong Guan was really speechless.

The two states of Deng and Lai will be placed under the jurisdiction of Liangshan, inducing the people of Liangshan to come out of the mountain, then cutting off the way behind them, and finally eradicated Liangshan people and Liangshan's nest.

It seems to be a very good plan, but the problem is that once Liangshan people come out of the mountain, who can stop it? We still have to cut off the way back. How about dreaming?

What's the difference between giving Song Qing's territory and raising tigers? And can the territory given out be recovered?

Tong Guan didn't know, and he didn't even think that Liang Shicheng had been bought by Song Qing. When he thought about the end of the Song Dynasty, he also had another idea in his mind.

He knows the details of the Song Dynasty best. He knows that the Song Dynasty has rotten from its roots, and this Optimus Prime tree will not last long. It is said that good birds choose trees to rest. Should I also change the roots of good trees? So will Song Qing be that good tree? Take a closer look.

When Song Qing heard that Tong Guan was coming, he immediately gathered the leaders to gather in Zhongyi Hall, and ordered people to hold a banquet to welcome Tong Guan with the warmest ceremony.

The old emperor will certainly not carry out such a big thing as a big thing for Liang Shan, so Tong Guan should have come with a secret decree. This is not only a good thing for Liang Shan, but also may have a lot to use Tong Guan in the future. Besides, since dealing with Tong Guan, this guy has always been very obedient, so Song Qing also wants to give him face.

Of course, Tong Guan didn't know that Song Qing knew his intention early. Seeing Song Qing greet him with such a big show, he was a little moved.

"Lord Tong, all is sound, haha! Please"

Song Qing personally greeted the door of Zhongyi Hall and punched Tong Guandao.

"Lord Song, I haven't seen you for a long time" Tong Guan also saluted with a fist.

After a few polite words, Song Qing invited Tong Guan into Zhongyi Hall, put a table and chair under him, and asked Tong Guan to sit down, which was extremely polite.

Because Tong Guan had other ideas in his heart, he behaved very naturally in front of Song Qing this time. It made Song Qing a little confused. This guy seems to have changed a lot?

The welcome ceremony was very grand and gave a lot of face, but it was obviously impossible for Tong Guan to make a decision so easily, and he would continue to observe.

After the banquet, the heroes dispersed. Song Qing invited Tong Guan into the back hall and ordered someone to serve fragrant tea.

At this time, Tong Guan took out the secret edict given by the emperor to Song Qing from his arms.

The secret decree is very simple. The above first praised Song Qing, who praised Song Qing as a great loyal minister who had no one before, and then promoted Song Qing to the appointment as the general manager of Deng and Lai two prefectures.

Tong Guan was very wise not to put on the shelf of the imperial envoy. He took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "Lord Song, Huang Enhao. I don't know when Lord Song can leave for office?"

Tong Guan's performance today was really strange. Song Qing obviously felt that Tong Guan did not say everything.

smiled and said, "Deng and Lai two states are vast and sparsely populated, and there are hundreds of wastes waiting to be popular. I have to prepare for it!" Besides, Liangshan still has such a big deal. If it is not arranged properly, how can I leave at ease?

"Oh! Does Lord Song mean that Liangshan still needs to stay here?

Tong Guan's eyes narrowed, and he finally heard what he wanted to hear most.

"Lord Tong, you and I are not new to each other. You should know that Song is a human being, and Liang Shan, the foundation left by my brother, will never be lost. Lord Tong might as well say what he thinks. If Song can help, he will do his best."

This is Liang Shan. Song Qing is not afraid that what he said will spread, and what can he do even if it spreads? Can the old emperor come to bite me?

On the way to Liangshan, Tong Guan also thought about what if Song Qing refused this appointment? Now it seems that his worry is completely superfluous. Song Qing not only accepted all the orders from Deng and Lai, but also Liang Shan should stay in his hands. What about the thousands of miles between Liangshan and Laizhou?

Tong Guan gradually understood Song Qing's idea. What a big appetite! That's the land of Kyushu.

"Dir Song have ever thought about how the local authorities would react after Liangshan's people crossed the border?"

Song Qing smiled and said, "Does this depend on Lord Tong's unwillingness to help?"

In fact, Tong Guan had already made a decision in his mind at this time, but after many years as an official, he suddenly made him completely communicate with a thief, and he still couldn't do it.

nodded and said, "I don't know if Lord Song has thought that the news delivered by the court depends on post stations. If Lord Song can control these places, what other news can be sent back to the court?"

Isn't it! Why didn't I think of these inconspicuous stations? As Tong Guan said, if these places can be controlled, what other news can be spread? That's not right! This Tong Guan is a person in the court. Why did he help me?

In front of Song Qing's doubtful eyes, Tong Guan smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Song doesn't have to look at me like this. Tong feels that there are too many wrong things he has done in the past, so he has to correct it from now on. If it falls into the hands of Lord Song one day, I hope Lord Song can read on today's feelings and open up one side."

Does Tong Guan want to reform? Song Qing felt as if he was listening to the story. But if this is not true, there is really no reason for Tong Guan to help himself.

The two looked at each other calmly for a while, and Song Qing finally stretched out his hand.

"Liangshan welcomes you"

Although Song Qing had doubts about Tong Guan's sudden reform, it didn't seem to affect him, and Tong Guan made such a good suggestion to himself, so Song Qing decided to believe him once.

No one is perfect, and Song Qing still remembers that there was a minister in that dynasty. He was a famous treacherous minister in the previous dynasty, but after the change of dynasty, he became a virtuous minister.

It can be seen that what kind of minister depends on what kind of king.

After living on the mountain for a few days, Tong Guan returned to Beijing. He didn't say anything to Song Qing anymore, and Song Qing didn't give him any promises, but the two knew that they had been tied to a boat.

Song Qing asked Tong Guan to return to Beijing to tell the old emperor that he would appreciate the emperor's trust, live up to his holy hope, and must govern the place well, etc., and the day out of going out of the mountain was set at the time of spring when the flowers bloomed.

Song Qing adopted strict confidentiality for Tong Guan's secret help, and only Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong and Zhu Wu, including him, knew.

Gongsun Sheng and others are highly intelligent people. After hearing Tong Guan's idea, they all took it seriously. Zhu Wu started to work vigorously.

Zhu Wu is even farther than Tong Guan thought. Didn't Song Qing say that if you want Liang Shan's detectives to spread to every corner of the world, let's start with the post station!

As a result, an infiltration of the world's post station began quietly.

The days are getting warmer day by day, and all the preparations have entered the final stage, waiting for the beginning of spring.

During this period, Song Qing did another big thing, that is, to help Gao Jin with his marriage.

Gao Jin used to be Song Qing's personal bodyguard, but now he is the second person of the inner guard, so his marriage is quite grand. Almost all the leaders came to support, and even if they couldn't come, they also sent gifts.

Gao Jin never dreamed that his marriage could be like this, and his gratitude to Song Qing was beyond his heart.

Gao Jin's father-in-law Cheng Laosi is now doing well in Liangshan, which is certainly inseparable from Song Qing's attention to him and finding a good son-in-law. But the old man can indeed take out something.

The mine has been developed, but of course this thing is still inseparable from the lead, and it is still a little far from Song Qing's idea. It is still being further improved.

There is another thing that Song Qing didn't expect, artillery, no, to be precise, it should be called an ejection barrel.

Because he knew that the gun had extremely high requirements for steel, Song Qing did not put it on the agenda. However, when drinking on the night of the Spring Festival, Song Qing inadvertently mentioned the simple structure of the artillery. At that time, he forgot it, but old man Cheng took it seriously.

Based on Song Qing's simple idea, the old man gave full play to his imagination and finally developed China's first simple artillery with some craftsmen who built weapons.

It's a little exaggerated to say that it is a simple gun, because its barrel is similar to a bucket, and it is not made of pure steel at all. Not to mention that it can fire shells.

This simple gun should be a catapult according to Song Qing's name. It is equipped with gunpowder at the bottom and uses the principle of gunpowder explosion to generate thrust to eject out ignited explosive bags and other things. The range is also farther than the bow and arrow.

Although this thing is far from the artillery, Song Qing still rewarded Cheng Laosi and others, and hoped that they would make further efforts to develop more practical weapons.

As the weather warms up, the frozen water has begun to melt, and the air is full of spring.

Song Qing knew that he was going to start the expedition, and there were still nearly four months before Dou Niang was about to give birth.
