Chapter 93 Entering the State

A stop in Mizhou undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for Song and Qing to occupy the Shandong Peninsula. Since then, the Shandong Peninsula has been irresistible.

Although Qizhou, Qingzhou and Zizhou are still under the control of the imperial court, it is only a matter of time for Liangshan to take them.

In this battle, Liang Shan captured nearly 40,000 imperial troops, and the food and fodder were countless. In a sense, Deng Shiguang helped Song Qing a lot. At least Song Qing did not have to worry about the food of these 40,000 captured troops.

According to Song Qing's previous ideas, after stabilizing the situation in Michigan, the first thing to do was to adapt these captured soldiers.

First of all, the imperial court selected the forbidden army to break up the young and strong and add them to the armies.

I'm a little old, but I'm in good health. I'm integrated into the logistics force and do some miscellaneous affairs at ordinary times. If there is a need in wartime, I have to carry a knife to the battlefield.

All the rest were disbanded and returned to the housekeepers. At the same time, Liang Shan also sent a piece of entanglement to these people to ensure that they could return home healthily.

For the officers and soldiers who joined the Liangshan regular army, Song Qing ordered that they must treat the same as the sergeant Liangshan, the same salary and silver, followed by logistics.

These officers and soldiers were originally the first-class army of the lower forbidden army in the imperial army, and their treatment was not the same as that of the forbidden army. Now the salary has increased several times, and they immediately dispelled the desire to join the Liangshan army and gradually integrated into the Liangshan army.

After this adaptation, 20,000 troops were added to Liangshan. But it will take some time to truly form combat effectiveness.

Song Qing believes that regardless of the dynasty, ensuring the treatment of soldiers is the first step to win the heart of the army. The second step will be completed by Liang Shan's backbone at all levels, which is to brainwash these new brothers.

In ancient times, there was no talk about political education, but what was similar to political education was to constantly tell them who gave you such good treatment and who you should be loyal to.

These are all big things. As for Lu Zhishen's private murder of Hu Ergou, Song Qing didn't even have time to think about it. I just scolded Lu Zhishen for a few words and deducted Lu Zhishen's salary for a year.

Although Hu Ergou is meritorious, how can he compare with Lu Zhishen? Moreover, Song Qing will not use the kind of person who uses no means to achieve his goal.

So many things are not done in one pinch, and Song Qing can no longer wait. With such a big noise in Mizhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou don't know what has become!

Three days later, Song Qing left Zhu Wu and Dong Ping to lead 10,000 veterans and 20,000 new recruits. He took the remaining Liangshan veterans of less than 20,000 and set off for Laizhou.

It is estimated that Liang Shan fought his power in the Battle of Mizhou, and the comfort envoy of Jingdong East Road had an order for a long time, so after Song Qing led his troops into Laizhou, it was very smooth and advanced all the way and arrived in Laizhou City three days later.

The journey was smooth enough, but Song Qing also found a very serious problem, that is, some county officials almost ran away. There are only some officials and Xiaocheng who are not usually popular in the county office.

After Song Qing arrived in Laizhou Prefecture, he immediately started this matter.

First of all, we summon the famous gentry in Laizhou, ask them to recommend officials, and then promote some of those left-behind officials. At present, we can only do this first, and we must ensure the normal operation of the government office.

The patchwork finally made the Laizhou government office work properly, but it has been seven days later.

Song Qing left Ma Lin and led 3,000 people to station in Laizhou, and he immediately took the rest of the people to the last stop, Dengzhou.

The road from Laizhou to Dengzhou is relatively easy to walk, and the road extends along the other side.

These Liangshan soldiers from inland have never seen the sea at all. Seeing the waves and endless sea, they can't help but be in awe.

Song Qing also came to the seaside for the first time after arriving at this era. Like in his previous life, he liked the sea. Every time he saw the sea, he would bring him a different feeling.

People always like to describe their mood with a relaxed heart, but how can they understand the true meaning of these four words if they don't face the sea?

Three days later, the army arrived in the capital of Dengzhou. Unexpectedly, Chai Jin and Ma Tao greeted Song Qing ten miles outside the city.

Ma Tao said earlier that he would wait for Song Qing in Dengzhou. As they said before, if Song Qing could not even reach Dengzhou, then everything they said was just a story.

Now Song Qing has come and proved his ability with practical actions. Maybe Ma Tao still doesn't know that Song Qing is not just as simple as asking him to fulfill his promise, because Song Qing needs too much.

After a simple greeting, Song Qing turned his eyes to Chai Jin.

Chai Jin only has one sentence "Lucky not to humiliate"

Song Qing didn't ask any more questions, because he could imagine the hardships.

There is no need for any thanks between them, nod, even if it is an affirmation of what Chai Jin has done.

Song Qing was not surprised that he did not see the officials in Dengzhou, but he did not see Meng Kang, Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun. But it made him feel a little uncertain.

Chai Jin seemed to guess what Song Qing thought and said with a smile, "There is no need to worry about the general manager. Meng Kang went to sea with Xiao Er and Zhang Shun early this morning."

"Oh! Test the boat?"

Song Qing suddenly became interested.

"Hehe! The general manager did not know that although there were many sea ships in the area of Dengzhou, Meng Kang and others always felt that these ships could not meet the requirements of the general manager, and there were no decent shipyards nearby. So they stared at the pirate ship and got a pirate ship. Meng Kang was originally a shipbuilder. After transforming the nearly 5,000-day pirate ship, he took Xiao Er and Zhang Shun to test the ship.

After listening to Chai Jin's words, Song Qing was more interested, and he said that there would be pirates at this time? It's not from the Caribbean, is it?

The group walked as they spoke and soon came to Dengzhou City.

Like Laizhou, most of the officials here have run away, leaving only some officials who are innocent and have not done anything to harm the people to maintain the operation of the government office.

Song Qing did not rest and immediately started the operation of the government office. Dengzhou is now equivalent to a hundred wastes waiting to be done, and many things have to be restarted.

I feel the lack of talents around me, so I openly list Naxian. No matter who you are, as long as you have a skill in governing the local area, Song Qing will not refuse.

In this era, the children of gentry and rich families are much more educated than ordinary people.

Song Qing wanted to use these people, but after knowing Liang Shan's excellent character of killing the rich and helping the poor, they basically ran away with officials.

So Song Qing can only retreat and use those who are willing to work but do not have much knowledge to manage the place.

Song Qing knows that many things require a process, and now it is very good to do these.

It took more than a month from going down the mountain to stepping on the land of Dengzhou. Although Song Qing was busy and leisurely, after a double flight with the Mingyue sisters, he basically did not have a good rest.

After moving into the Dengzhou government office, Song Qing's hanging heart also fell to the ground. Although there are also many things, he can finally have a good rest.

Send off a group of people who asked for instructions. Song Qing leaned on the chair tiredly, while the Mingyue and Crescent sisters massaged their heads like maids, beat their legs, and carefully served Song Qing. They did not put on the airs of their wives because they were favored by Song Qing.

After all, they are already pillow people, and Song Qing is reluctant to let them do too much, but they brought Song Qing back in one sentence.

"It's Sister Dou Niang who asked them to watch the prince"

Song Qing curled his lips secretly and thought about anything else when he was busy all day? But they reminded themselves, how is their wife now? Are you about to give birth?

The trip is generally smooth, but it is impossible for Song Qing to leave now. These states have just been occupied by Liang Shan. How many things are waiting for him to make a final choice? How could he leave at this time?

In desperation, we can only let the messenger constantly bring and send back messages, so that we can rest assured with each other.

Although the careful service of the Mingyue sisters made Song Qing's body relax a lot, her spirit could not relax.

It has been a few days since Song Qing arrived in Dengzhou, but Ruan Xiaoer and others have not returned, and what worries Song Qing more is Gongsun Sheng and others.

The two men set off at the same time. According to reason, they should have arrived in Dengzhou early, but now more than a month later, they still have no news. Is it possible that they had an accident? But it's not that no one can come back, right?

When he was thinking nonsense, the bodyguard came to report, and Shi Xiu asked to see him.

Although Shi Xiu made his own decision in the capital, Song Qing did not blame him deeply. After all, he was responsible first, so Shi Xiu was still very important to Song Qing.

Many of Liangshan's generals were sent out by Song Qing to assist in the management of the county governments, and Shi Xiu was also among them, so he would not come for no reason.

"General manager, guess who I saw?"

Shi Xiu shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Shi Xiu, like Lu Zhishen and others, often does not pay attention to minor points at all, but this also highlights their personality.

Song Qing was about to talk about business, and the Mingyue sisters retreated sensiblely.

Song Qing waved his hand to let Shi Xiu sit down, but Shi Xiu had no intention of sitting at all.

As if he had found a new continent, he said excitedly, "Chief, I saw the scholar in the capital, the one you asked us to protect."

"That scholar?"

After Song Qing asked, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind. Isn't it him?

asked tentatively, "Are you talking about Chen Dong?"

"Yes, it's the boy named Chen Dong, but this boy is almost the same as Huazi, so I almost didn't recognize him."

That's the Taixue of Taiyuan, the highest school for the reserve of talents in the Song Dynasty. How can it be like a begling now?

This question flashed through Song Qing's mind, and then he understood what was going on. He can be regarded as a promoter to this day.

He muttered: "Let's go and take me to see him"

Shi Xiu didn't have any reaction. The general manager is now about the same emperor. Why do you want to meet a begren?

Without giving Shi Xiu a chance to refute, Song Qing has got up and walked out first.
