Water Margin set the country

Chapter 4 Mr. Liang Shan

Early the next morning when Song Jiang went down the mountain, Chao Qing went to Juyi Hall to find Chao Gai. At this time, Chao Gai and Wu Yong were discussing some cottage affairs.

"My son, you came here early in the morning, but what can you do for me?" Chao Gai looked in a good mood.

Chao Qing said: "I have something to discuss with my father. This matter concerns my safety in Liangshan."

Both Chao Gai and Wu Yong were a little curious, seeing that Chao Qing said something seriously, not like joking, they both asked, "What is so important?"

"Daddy led all the good men to make trouble in Jiangzhou, robbed the court, and rescued uncle. The prefect of Cai Jiu suffered a lot this time. He is not willing to let it go. He must go to his old man, Cai Jing, for help. Cai Jing is a person who will revenge, naturally. If you want to fight against me in Liangshan, I'm worried that Cai Jing will persuade the court and raise troops to conquer us, so you have to guard against it."

After hearing this, Chao Gai laughed and said, "It turns out that my son is worried about this matter. It's hard for you to think about Liangshan. But my son can rest assured and let Cai Jing come over. eliminate harm to the people."

Wu Yong also persuaded: "Young leader, don't worry. Now that the village is strong and strong, and there are eight hundred miles of water and natural moats to separate it, even with Cai Jing's tens of thousands of troops, it will not be easy for him to attack Liangshan."

Chao Qing agreed: "What the military adviser said is not unreasonable. But we can't stay in the cottage all the time! Besides, the cottage is not used for production, and there will always be a day when the mountain is empty, so we still have to go down the mountain to borrow food. What if you encounter imperial soldiers and horses?"

Chao Gai waved his hand, looking very proud, and said: "Then let them see the methods of my Liangshan hero. It will also let all the heroes in the world know my Liangshan name."

Chao Qing sighed and said, "That's what the boy is worried about."

"There's nothing to worry about." Chao Gaiman didn't care.

This Chao Gai must be too contemptuous of the court soldiers and horses!

Chao Qing persuaded: "Arrogant soldiers will be defeated! You should be cautious in everything, especially in this kind of battle where life and death are fought."

"Hahaha!" Chao Gai laughed loudly, "All the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are full of wine bags and rice buckets. What a blessing. At the beginning, Huang Anasi led 1000 troops to kill them. As a result, the whole army was wiped out. Let's say that this time the trouble in the river Jiangzhou, at least there are three to five thousand soldiers in Jiangzhou, but in the end, our more than 100 people beat them into shrinking turtles. So you should worry too much, baby."

Chao Qing analyzed: "In the battle of Huang'an, we took advantage of the geographical advantage. In the battle of Jiangzhou, we made a surprise attack and killed the opponent by surprise. They were not head-to-head battles. Besides, these two battles, What we encountered were all local Xiang troops and regiments, not the elite regular army of the imperial court at all."

Wu Yong agreed: "The young leader's analysis makes sense. We haven't had a real battle with the officers and soldiers of the court. It's really hard to say whether the officers and soldiers are strong or weak."

Chao Qing continued: "It should be noted that fighting between the two armies is not like a one-on-one fight between heroes in the Jianghu. Although the Song Dynasty has been in peace for a long time and its military equipment has been relaxed, they are the regular army of the imperial court after all. How many of us are messy grass bandits? Do you have the experience of fighting in front of the formation? I'm afraid that the opponent's army will kill us before our formation is set up. Marching and fighting are no more than child's play."

Wu Yong said thoughtfully: "Young leader's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, we still lack experience in this field. The few hundred people in the village that Qin Ming and Hua Rong brought up the mountain were from the regular army. They are different from those guys in Qingfeng Mountain when they sit, lie, walk, and walk. You can tell at a glance who is a hero in the army and who is a bandit bully."

Chao Qing said: "What the military master said is true. The boys in our cottage are naturally good men, but they are all good steel that has not been tempered. They must be forged carefully before they can become sharp swords."

Chao Gai finally figured it out, and said, "I understand. My son is right. Then what do you think we should do?"

Chao Qing thought, what I'm waiting for is your words.

"My boy already has an idea. As long as this method is followed, the combat power of Liangshan's soldiers and horses will definitely increase a lot."

"Oh? What a good way, tell me quickly!"

Chao Gai is like this, he is a very stubborn person, but at the same time, as long as you convince him, he will obey you.

Chao Qing said: "My boy has already thought about it. Right now we have more than forty leaders and more than 5000 soldiers in our village. Excluding the old, weak, sick, disabled, and family members, we still have [-] fighting strength. My boy thinks that these [-] people can be divided into horses and horses." Army, infantry, navy, and four battalions to guard. All the leaders also went down, and each took a number of troops."

Chao Gai nodded as he listened, and said, "It's really necessary to classify the troops and horses properly, and it's also easy to manage. I never thought of it before. But will this improve the fighting power of the children?"

Chao Qing smiled and said: "Of course not. All the leaders are from the Green Forest, so they don't have any experience in leading soldiers. In my opinion, I can set up a position in the village."

"What position?" Wu Yong also looked at Chao Qing curiously.

When he was in Dongxi Village, he often went to Chao Gai Village as a guest, and he was familiar with Chao Qing, but at that time Chao Qing only liked to wield guns and sticks. Although he also went to private schools, he didn't necessarily have any talent for reading.Unexpectedly, the two years of experience in the rivers and lakes made him change his temper. Not only did he have extraordinary knowledge, but he also had a lot of flexibility in his mind.

"My boy thought, we can set up a post of head teacher of soldiers and horses in Liangshan. Choose a person who is good at training soldiers, and train all the soldiers in the village, how to set up camp, how to march, how to improve combat power, and how to arrange troops. As long as everyone in the village After training, even if you encounter court officers and soldiers in the future, you can fight with them."

Chao Gai exclaimed, "My son thought carefully, so I didn't think of this point. But as the military adviser said, the cottage is full of reckless men. Where can I find an expert who is proficient in this way?"

Chao Qing laughed and said, "Father is pretending to be confused, isn't there a great sage here in the cottage!"

Chao Gai reacted immediately, couldn't help patting his forehead with his hands, and said with a smile: "You see, I'm so young, I'm so confused, how could I forget Teacher Lin."

Wu Yong also felt that Chao Qing's move was indeed a good way to improve Liangshan's combat power, and echoed, "Coach Lin was originally from the Forbidden Army, and if he trains my Liangshan soldiers, my Liangshan soldiers' combat strength will be comparable to that of the Great Song Dynasty's Forbidden Army. "

Chao Qing also said: "I think as long as you train well, it is not impossible to beat the Forbidden Army, not to mention being comparable to the Song Dynasty's Imperial Army. After all, today's Imperial Army has already been defeated by gold and jade, and has a strong air. Nothing to be afraid of."

All three of them imagined the scene of leading Liangshan heroes to overthrow the imperial army of the Song Dynasty in the future, and infinite pride and ambition arose in their hearts.

Chao Gai said: "My son's method is very good, so I will do as you say."

"Father, there is one more thing!"

"Go ahead."

Chao Gai was in a very good mood at this time, as if he had already foreseen the bright future of Liangshan.

"The leaders in the cottage used to have no difference in position or size, they were all brothers in the Juyi Hall, but now since they want to train soldiers, they have to have a level. Besides, all the leaders are green forest heroes and have always been rebellious. Although Coach Lin He has prestige, but if he doesn't have the corresponding power, I'm afraid it will be difficult to order everyone."

Chao Gai said: "My son thinks about it very much, so what do you think?"

Chao Qing said: "The most basic thing in marching and fighting is to follow orders and prohibit them. The ancients have said: Let's train the three armies like using arms and fingers. To do this, orders need to come from one person. So the child thought that the Liangshan soldiers and horses The Chief Instructor should also be the chief commander of the soldiers and horses of Liangshan. All soldiers and horses must obey the orders of the Chief Instructor, and the Chief Instructor is under the command of the village master alone. In this way, without the orders of father and master, no one can By mobilizing people, this way, order chaos can also be prevented, and the head teacher also has the power to reward and punish."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong couldn't help but give Chao Qing a meaningful look.

Chao Gai was overjoyed when he heard this. To be honest, managing such a large village at Chao Gai's level is indeed a little bit powerless. Fortunately, with Wu Yong's help, we will not lose the chain too much.Although he also wanted to improve the strength of the cottage, he couldn't find the direction. Now that he listened to Chao Qing's suggestion, he suddenly became enlightened.

"My son's thoughts are deeply in my heart." He turned to Wu Yong again and said, "Military Master, let's call all the brothers here and announce this order."

Wu Yong originally wanted to say that this matter is of great importance, and whether he should wait for Song Gongming's brother to return to the mountain to discuss, but he swallowed this sentence anyway.

Soon, all the heroes came to the Juyi Hall, and Chao Gai announced this order.

Lin Chong was a little stunned after hearing this order.Although he said that he was the veteran of Liangshan, he actually did not lead soldiers at all, let alone contact with Liangshan's military power.And this order can be said to have directly handed over the military power of the entire Liangshan to Lin Chong, and Lin Chong has since become one of the real power figures in the cottage.

Wu Yong first congratulated Lin Chong: "Congratulations, Coach Lin. These are all suggestions from the young leader."

"My apprentice?"

"Exactly."

Lin Chong couldn't help looking at Chao Qing, and Chao Qing was also looking at Lin Chong, so he returned a warm smile.

"Master, you are a hero. From now on, this Liangshan will let you fly high. There will be no more shackles to restrain you."

As for the rest of the people, most of them were people from the Jianghu with a limited level of education, and they didn't think too much about it, and they all expressed their obedience to Chao Tianwang's orders.Only Li Jun had a playful expression on his face.However, Yanshun and Ou Peng, who used to be the owners of the village, felt that this adjustment was extraordinary, but unfortunately they didn't understand it for a while.Of course, Hua Rong had already figured it out, but he was a steady person, so he didn't say anything.

So Chao Gai asked Chao Qing, Wu Yong, and Lin Chong to discuss the specific details, how to arrange the strength of each battalion, how to arrange the people to each battalion, and so on.
