Ma Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, judging from the performance in front of this person's eyes, at least it showed that he really went to sleep, and it didn't look like he would behave after reading the letter, Ma Zheng hurriedly put on a flattering smile and said, "Good man, we have done what you ordered, do you think you can ......?" ”

Ruan Xiaowu looked at the merchant ship, deliberately pretended to be satisfied and said, "Yo, there are still a lot of things, but ...... Is this really all there is? ”

Ma Zheng nodded wildly, "Yes, yes, it's definitely all of us!" ”

Ruan Xiaowu deliberately doubted again, "You gave me all the money, so how can you still do business?" ”

Ma Zheng pretended not to care and replied, "Money is something outside the body, if your life is gone, what is the use of having more money?" If the heroes like it, take it all, and we will return to the ship after the big deal, so we should use this money to make friends with the heroes! ”

"Good! I didn't expect you to have this courage, brother, but it seems that I don't talk about morality! Ruan Xiaowu laughed, "Then so be it, whether you hide it or not, I only need these on the deck!" ”

Ruan Xiaowu waved his hand and ordered, "Little ones, go move things!" Then Ruan Xiaowu pulled out the dagger and came to Ma Zheng to cut the rope for him with his own hands, and helped Ma Zheng up with a smile, "It's a lot of offense, it's not easy to eat this meal, please forgive me!" I'll let you go after I've moved the goods. ”

Ma Zheng was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare to ......,"

Ruan Xiaowu put away the dagger with a smile and said, "If you meet someone else in the future, just say that you are my friend of the 'big shark' Ruan Dawu, and make sure that no one dares to touch you!" ”

Ma Zheng smiled flatteringly, and lost no time in saying, "By the way, ...... the next family letter?" ”

"You mean that?" Ruan Xiaowu immediately took out an object from his arms, "If you don't say that I will forget this thing, by the way, what is written on it?" I can't read or write! ”

Ma Zheng's heart suddenly twitched, and he recognized it at a glance that it was the emperor's handwritten letter!

"This is a letter written by Zaixia's family to Zaixia," Ma Zheng hurriedly said, "We businessmen are on the go all year round, and family letters are more valuable to us than gold, and we ask the good man to return them together." The ...... written above It's all the family's feelings of missing me. ”

"Oh......," Ruan Xiaowu nodded, "I see, just give it back to you!" After that, Ruan Xiaowu handed the letter to Ma Zheng,

Ma Zhengqiang took the letter with the incomparable excitement in his heart, and as soon as the letter was in his hand, he quickly glanced at the few lines of words exposed outside with his eyes, and his heart was suddenly relieved, yes, it was the letter!

"Then thank you to the hero," Ma Zheng said, trying to make a normal gesture to refold the letter and stuff it back into his arms, and as soon as the letter entered his arms, his heart, which had been mentioned in his throat for a long time, was finally put back into his stomach.

Ruan Xiaowu looked at Ma Zheng with a smile and nodded, then deliberately approached him and lowered his voice, "Brother, I see that you are a good person to remind you, that Xu Laosi is not a good thing, he betrayed a lot of friends when he was on the road a few years ago, you have to be careful with him!" ”

Ma Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, of course he knew all this, but when he looked at the sincere expression of "Ruan Dawu", he suddenly felt that this person was not so hateful......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The "pirates" removed all their belongings, kept their promise, released Ma Zheng, and then set sail again to the northwest.

Ma Zheng didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered the merchant ship to turn around and return immediately, and sail in the direction of Cangzhou Port at full speed.

The distance between the two sides became farther and farther away, and it didn't take long for the shadow of the seven pirate ships to be seen again, Ma Zheng and the whole ship were relieved, and in this process, Ma Zheng and Zhang Wang and others came to the conclusion after careful study of the letter that this was indeed the emperor's handwritten letter, and there was indeed nothing to doubt about it, the same letterhead, the same content, the same handwriting, and even a small shallow drop of ink in the lower left corner of the first page of the letter was in the old place!

Everyone couldn't help but feel deep fear and rejoice, Naodao was fortunate to have met a righteous pirate, and it was still a group of illiterate pirates, otherwise it would be ......!

In any case, a crisis that no one can bear is finally over, it doesn't matter if the money is lost, the most important letter is still there, as long as the faith is still there, the task can still be completed!

What everyone wants to do now is to rush back to Cangzhou Port as soon as possible, and then learn the lesson of this time, and then start again after being more prepared!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ma Zheng and the others didn't need to say much, and said that Ruan Xiaowu commanded seven ships to go to the northwest first, and after they were completely far away and could no longer see the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty, he gave an order, and the seven warships turned their bows together and began to sail at full speed in the direction of Dengzhou Port, and at the same time, the pirate flag also fell,

After three days of sailing, they successfully reached the outer waters of Dengzhou Port, but instead of entering the port directly, they stopped.

Ma Zheng's envoy to the Jin State was a secret operation to the Great Song Dynasty, and Ruan Xiaowu's action to lead people to drop the emperor's handwritten letter was also a secret operation, and it was only claimed to the outside world that he was going to the sea for field training.

So before going ashore, Ruan Xiaowu gathered all the soldiers and read to them an order that Zheng Fei had given him before,

"The commander-in-chief has ordered that this operation must be kept absolutely secret, and when you get ashore, no one is allowed to say a word about this operation! Have you memorized them all? ”

"Yes!" All the soldiers replied in unison, most of them were veterans of the Liangshan Boshui Army, and they still had a sense of discipline.

Ruan Xiaowu continued, "The commander asked me to tell you that although no one will know about what you have done for a long time in the future, he will not forget this great achievement made by everyone, and sooner or later, he will announce it to the world, inform the whole army, and tell everyone about your great achievements!" And before that, ......," Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said loudly, "The commander has an order, and each person will be rewarded with a hundred yuan!" ”

Cheers!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ruan Xiaowu led the crowd back to Dengzhou Port, and when he went ashore, he went directly to the Commander's Mansion, and handed over the emperor's handwritten letter to Zheng Fei after the transfer.

Zheng Fei took the letter and immediately read it from beginning to end, the content of the letter was very simple, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty unmistakably expressed to the Emperor of the Jin State the intention of "wanting to be good with the Emperor and fighting Liao together", which is not much different from history.

But there was one thing in the letter that Zheng Fei's heart couldn't help but move, at the end of the letter, I saw the emperor write, "According to Yanjing, Xijing and the two places under the jurisdiction of Zhoucheng and Pingzhou and Yingzhou, it was originally the Han land. ”

That is to say, the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Yanjing and Xijing, Pingzhou and Yingzhou are the territories of our Han people, and we only need these places, and we will also transfer the New Year's coins promised to the Liao State to you.

Yanjing, Xijing, plus Pingzhou and Yingzhou, are equivalent to reverting all the places south of the Great Wall to the Great Song Dynasty, which seems ordinary, but Zheng Fei knew that in the original history, Song Huizong's letter to the Jin State only asked for the recovery of "the city of Zhou under the control of Yanjing".

Is this that Song Huizong didn't want the same Xijing and Ping, Ying, and two states?

Of course not, the reason why he said this is only because the sixteen states of Yanyun are only the general name of the Han people for the lost homeland, including Xijing, Ping, and Ying.

However, this name lost its original geographical concept after the Liao State redivided the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun into administrative regions and divided them into Yanjing, Xijing, Ping, and Ying. Therefore, Song Huizong made a mistake in his busyness, and his original intention was to recover all the sixteen states of Yanyun, but he only mentioned "Yanjing", which is equivalent to tying his hands and feet.

In the subsequent negotiations, the Jin people seized this mistake and resolutely disagreed to include Xijing, Ping, and Yingzhou into the scope of "Yanjing", which laid an advantage for the large-scale invasion of Jin soldiers in the future!

And the reason why Song Huizong was able to have such a flawless change this time, Zheng Fei knew that it was definitely because of his own reasons, and it was he who pointed out this flaw to Zhao Liangsi in the first place!

However, this is also just right, in this way, this letter not only has the intention of the Great Song Emperor to "join Jin to attack Liao", but also has the specific action plan and goals of the Great Song Dynasty, which adds to the weight of this letter!

I believe that with this letter being delivered to Liao, it will cause a sensation like a bombshell!

All Zheng Fei can do now is wait, while preparing manpower to wait for the secret envoy to Liao, while waiting for the Great Song Dynasty mission to set off again!

Ten days later, news came from Cangzhou again, Ma Zheng learned the lesson of the last time, led a total of three warships disguised as merchant ships, brought no less than 300 people and sufficient weapons, and then left Cangzhou Port and sailed to the sea again!

The Great Song Dynasty's mission to the Jin Kingdom has been restarted again!

Zheng Fei immediately ordered, led by Wu Yong and Zhu Fu, to send three ships to leave Dengzhou Port in the name of going to sea for training and go straight to Liao!
