Chapter 100 Good News
Wan Keer is missing, and Wanyan Baokang still dares to go back? He turned around and came back directly at sea. Intuitively told him that Wanyan Keer would definitely come to Song Qing. But the problem is that Song Qing knows nothing about it.
Song Qing is still strange. The sea is vast. How did Wanyan Keer escape? Can't she fly?
Wanyan Baokang's mouth is now full of bitter water. When he arrived at sea, he naturally thought that Wanyan Keer had no way to go, so he relaxed his care of her, but he never thought that after the boat had been sailing for a day, Wanyan Ke'er disappeared out of thin air.
He also doubted whether Song Qing sent someone to pick up Wanyan Keer, so he also sent someone to secretly follow Song Qing, hoping to find Wanyan Keer as soon as possible.
It's just that he didn't come back after the people he sent to follow Song Qing out, and he also disappeared. In desperiance, he had to come to Song Qing in person, hoping that Song Qing could hand over Wanyan Keer so that he could go home as soon as possible.
Song Qing had time to take care of Wanyan Baokang, and he didn't know the whereabouts of Wanyan Keer at all. At this moment, a great good news came from Liangshan.
Dou Niang gave birth to a big fat boy.
Song Qing has a queen, and he is also a boy. In terms of Song Qing's current status, this is not just his business. The most important blood inheritance of the ancients. Liang Shan's heroes all know what kind of road Song Qing took them, and Song Qing has a son, which undoubtedly gives them greater hope.
For a while, from Liangshan to Dengzhou, soldiers and people congratulated their little master on the birth of various forms.
Song Qing couldn't wait to rush back to Liangshan immediately, but there were too many places for him to leave immediately. He had decided to rush back to Liangshan as soon as he finished his work. He really wants to see the newborn child.
Congratulations will inevitably come and drink again.
To Song Qing's surprise, Cui Yongqian, a Korean businessman, also sent a congratulatory gift, but it was a delicate ivory fan.
The information of pirates has not been collected yet. It is impossible for Song Qing to send out the newly formed navy, and even if he sends the navy, it is not for him. So I haven't paid attention to him these days.
Cui Yongqian is also smart. He saw that Ma Tao bought a street in the new city, so he also bought a piece of land in the new city. As for what to do, he hasn't figured out yet. He knew in his heart that buying land was equivalent to giving Song Qing a gift in disguise.
Of course, Song Qing welcomed Cui Yongqian's move, and also summoned him. After praising him, he drew a big cake.
The happiest thing is Chen Dong and Chai Jiang. Although Liangshan is not short of money, it can be built in the new city. Is there no need for money? Now the silver spent every day is almost the same as the flowing water.
And this move of Ma Tao and Cui Yongqian undoubtedly inspired them greatly, so they openly sold land to merchants in the old city.
Although Dengzhou has been gradually marginalized in marine trade in recent years, it has a certain background. Many businessmen are also very visionary. Seeing that the new city has an outline day by day, they have followed Ma Tao and bought land and built houses in the new city.
With this silent money injection, the construction of the new city has begun to accelerate. According to Chen Dong's estimate, a year later, Dengzhou New City will rise.
In the southwest corner of Dengzhou, dozens of miles away from the land, there is an island reef. The largest group of pirates in Dengzhou is stationed here.
The number of pirates is about 5,000. The leader Ye Cheng used to be a small officer in Dengzhou. Because he was dissatisfied with the court, he led his troops into the sea to become pirates. After several years of development, he came to today's situation.
In fact, Ye Cheng's pirates have not reached the point of doing all kinds of evil. Ships passing by the sea have to pay him peace fees, and he will not rob him.
Cui Yongqian did not tell the truth to Song Qing. In the past, he and Ye Cheng had always been at peace with each other, but as his business became bigger and bigger, there were more and more ships. He began to feel distressed about the safety fee paid and always wanted to find a way not to pay this fee. Obviously, he did not dare to be tough with Ye Cheng. After thinking about it, he put his mind on the Dengzhou government office. If the Dengzhou government office could send troops to eliminate this pirate, wouldn't his money be saved? That's why he came to Dengzhou.
Of course, Ye Cheng, a native of Dengzhou, already knew about Song Qing's entry into Dengzhou. After carefully inquired about Song Qing's origin and the water army brought by Song Qing, Ye Cheng also became cautious and strictly ordered his men not to go to the sea area of Dengzhou.
According to Ye Cheng's idea, he and Song Qinghe do not violate the sea. I won't mess with you, and you don't want to mess with me. As long as everyone is at peace. But he didn't know that Song Qing had listed him as the most suitable target for training the navy.
Ye Cheng's second head was a failed scholar named Xie Wenying. After being robbed by Ye Cheng, he had no choice but to become a pirate under the pressure of Ye Cheng. This guy is quite literary and anxious, otherwise Ye Cheng would not let him be the second head. And his second head also has a position, that is, Ye Cheng's dog-headed military division.
Xie Wenying is different from Ye Cheng. He has already lived a life of wandering on the sea. Compared with the second head of this pirate, he is even more willing to be a small official in the court.
Of course, this idea has always been hidden in his heart. If Ye Cheng wanted to know, he would have thrown him into the sea to feed sharks.
The former governor of Dengzhou was incompetent, and Xie Wenying had no idea, but when he learned about Song Qing, his mind became active.
I heard that Song Qing has controlled the territory of eight states, and obviously there is a trend of continuous expansion. The Liang Shanshui army he brought is practicing day and night, and he is definitely not determined to be there.
I am a pirate. Even if I turn to the court, I will not be reused, but if I turn to Song Qing, who started as a mountain thief, I will not have such concerns. Although I dare not say what kind of talent he is, when it comes to his understanding of the sea, it is not comparable to those subordinates of Song Qing.
After Xie Wenying made up her mind, she first explored Ye Cheng's mouth and saw that Ye Cheng had no intention of defecting to Song Qing at all, so she decided to leave Ye Cheng and work alone.
Do it as soon as you think of it. He immediately sent his own brother Xie Wensheng to Dengzhou Prefecture to contact Song Qing. Of course, he had to listen to the price offered to him by Song Qing before making a decision.
At the same time, the information about Ye Cheng and Xie Wenying was also sent to Song Qing.
After understanding Ye Cheng's pirate habits, Song Qing couldn't help scolding Cui Yongqian, and actually played tricks on me? The day you cried.
Although the navy wants to practice, Song Qing is more inclined to suppress and use it, and once troops are sent, they must completely annihilate the pirates. If they escape, they are bound to leave future trouble.
After thinking about it, Song Qing also set his goal on Xie Wenying.
Xie Wenying was born with a talent, and he must have read a lot of saint's books, but he believes that this person can understand his own identity. It is impossible for him to return to the court. Only joining Liang Shan is his only way out.
I was about to call Zhu Wu to study how to bribe Xie Wenying, but I saw Zhu Wu coming by himself.
After saluteing Song Qing, Zhu Wu said, "Chief, according to your instructions, Shi Qian and they have left. In addition, all the brothers think you should go back to Liangshan. Even if you can't pick up your wife, it's good to see their mother and son."
Song Qing smiled bitterly and changed the topic. He thought about it day and night to go back to see the women, but if he can't solve this pirate, can he leave at ease?
Shiqian went to several nearby state governments to destroy. They can't blatantly send troops, but Liangshan is the best at destroying. Therefore, Song Qing also sent Shi Xiu to assist Shiqian. The only purpose is that they must not let the surrounding state governments reserve the power to deal with Liangshan.
He studied with Zhu Wu how to recruit Xie Wenying. Before Zhu Wu could leave, suddenly a bodyguard came to report, and the old general Hu Yanzhuo urgently reported.
Huyan Burning Urgent Report?
Song Qing and Zhu Wu's hearts were suddenly raised. Didn't the court send troops in Qingzhou? But why is there no news at all?
However, when Song Qing and Zhu Wu read Hu Yanzhu's urgent report, both of them burst into laughter.
After Huyan came to Weizhou, according to Liangshan's consistent tradition, he rejuvened the benevolent government, eradicated the hegemony, and quickly stabilized the local situation.
The old general did not stop because of this. He sent detectives to infiltrate Qingzhou and successfully encouraged a group of local bandits to rebel. Qingzhou was seriously injured because of the last Battle of Michigan, and the court was far away from the thirst, and the city was almost captured by bandits. Now I'm struggling.
These bandits are different from Liangshan. They do all kinds of bad things, and the people are miserable. Seeing that Qingzhou is getting more and more chaotic, many refugees have fled to Weizhou.
Some squires have even asked Liang Shan to send troops to calm the chaos. Hu Yanzhuo's urgent report to Song Qing was to ask if he should take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Qingzhou.
Song Qing looked at Zhu Wu: "Lao Zhu, what do you think?"
Zhu Wu nodded and said, "It's a good opportunity, but we should first tell the court the reason for sending troops and the people's desire for our Liangshan people."
"Hehe! OK, just do as you said. Tell Xiao Rang immediately and ask him to draft the memorial. After the old emperor knew the news, he must not be able to sleep again."
Zhu Wu's front foot just left, the bodyguard came to report, and Wanyan Baokang came again.
Song Qing couldn't help frowning and told him that he didn't know the whereabouts of Wanyan Keer. Why hasn't this boy finished yet? The internal guard killed a person he sent to follow him. Isn't this enough to warn Wanyan Baokang?
I didn't see him, but after thinking about it, I still called him in.
To Song Qing's surprise, Wanyan Baokang actually came to resign this time.
Wanyan Baokang did not say the reason why he was in a hurry to leave, but hoped that Song Qing could see Wanyan Keer and tell Wanyan Keer that there was something urgent to ask her to go home immediately.
As for the horses, grain and grass that promised Song Qing, he will definitely bring them next time he comes.
Wan Baokang left in a hurry after saying that.
Is there something urgent at home? What's the emergency? Isn't it that Wanyan Keer's father is going to braid?
Whoever dies or lives in the Kingdom of Jin does not affect Song Qing at present. Song Qing's energy is used to eliminate this pirate in the sea of Dengzhou.
Song Qing didn't know that Wanyan Keer's father did not have braids, but Wanyan Agu, the emperor of Dajin, really fell ill.
