Water Margin people

Chapter 188 Jeju Invasion
"Your Majesty, just leave, we haven't seen anything."

The guards pulled Wu Song out of the way, which saved Wu Song from making excuses.

"Then thank you all!"

Sun Lei left with a smile.

"Wudutou, I'm sorry for you today. If you hadn't suppressed the thieves, we brothers might be in danger!"

After Sun Lei and the others left, the guards thankfully said that the thieves were murderers without batting an eyelid. It has spread all over Shandong.

"I'm afraid it's not easy for the county magistrate to explain."

Wu Song pretended to be hard to say.

"What's the matter? How can the county magistrate be blamed for fighting against the bandits to protect everyone's lives?"

"Yeah, it's all merit and demerit!"

"Qinghe County is governed by Enzhou, and Yanggu County is governed by Yunzhou. It's fine if we come here."

Everyone shouted, no matter how powerful the county magistrate is, they can't be blamed on Wu Song. They are just county servants, not serious officials.

"Dutou, let's go directly to Qinghe County, so we can go back to Yanggu as soon as we're done!"

A group of guards did not dare to stay here for long, surrounded Wu Song and went to Qinghe County.

……

"elder brother!"

As soon as he left Qinghe County, Sun Lei met Lin Chong, Tang Bin and others who were supporting him.

"My brother's trip went well!"

Tang Bin hurried forward and asked.

"Haha, just look at these!"

Sun Lei pointed to the rows of carts, this time it was a bumper harvest, and countless grains, gold and silver were brought back.

"Brother is so powerful, he can break through the county government easily, who in the Jianghu has the ability of my brother!"

Jiao Ting clasped his fists with a smile and said.

"Go, go back to the cottage."

Sun Lei smiled and led the crowd towards Liangshan.

……

The story of Liangshan's army breaking through Qinghe County and upholding justice soon spread, and everyone who knew it applauded. There are countless corrupt officials, officials, gentry and powerful men in this world, and they all make their fortunes by oppressing goodness. Liangshan's move gave ordinary people A thought of justice.

"Brother, this yamen has already been built!"

Pei Xuan pointed to the newly built Liangshan government office and said that all the layouts here were built with reference to the state government office, and the plaque hanging in the middle of the government office was written with the words "Walk the Way for Heaven".

"Not bad!"

Sun Lei sat on the chair and touched the vermilion lacquer table with a smile, "Slap" Sun Lei slapped the gavel, which resounded throughout the hall.

"I'll leave it to you from now on, remember these four words!"

Sun Lei pointed to the four characters "Walk the Way for Heaven" on the county government plaque.

"Yes, brother!"

Pei Xuan bowed down to Sun Lei.

"They are all brothers, why are you so generous?"

Sun Lei helped Pei Xuandao up.

"Brother, younger brother has been in the government for nearly ten years. I have seen too many corrupt officials. I thought the world would be dark, but I didn't expect to meet my brother. I finally see Qingtian can show my ambition!"

Pei Xuan insisted on bowing down to Sun Lei.

He remembered what Mr. Na said when he was young and told fortunes: A good bird chooses a tree, and a virtuous minister chooses a master.Now it seems that I have met the Ming Lord now.

"I hope you can keep this stern and impartial! Always handle the case impartially!"

Seeing Pei Xuan's insistence, Sun Lei smiled and tapped Pei Xuan's shoulder with a tap stick.

"Little brother dare not forget elder brother's teaching today!"

Pei Xuan said solemnly.

As soon as the government office was opened, there was an endless stream of people reporting the case. Since Liangshan broke Qinghe County, more villages and towns have paid protection fees to Liangshanbo. Qinghe County can be managed hundreds of miles away from the water. Only Liang Shanshuibo is regarded as a protective god.

In the Juyi Hall.

"Brother, news came from the hotel that the Jeju government seems to be sending troops to deal with us!"

Zhu Gui reported to Sun Lei.

"Jezhou Prefecture? Is this to retaliate against me for breaching Qinghe County? No, Qinghe County is under the jurisdiction of Enzhou. Why is Jezhou Prefecture in charge?"

Sun Lei rubbed his chin in thought.

"Brother, even if you want to come to Enzhou, you can't come. Liangshanbo is under the jurisdiction of Jeju. This time, Enzhou should exert pressure through Tokyo."

Zhu Gui said.

"Then entertain guests from Jeju well, and we must show the hospitality of our Liangshanbo!"

Sun Lei laughed out loud. With Liangshan's current strength, Jeju doesn't need to be taken seriously at all.

"Brother, go this time, little brother!"

Tang Bin immediately called for a fight. This was a good opportunity for meritorious service, and he didn't want to let it go. Besides, a Jeju soldier didn't need his brothers Sun Lei, Lu Zhishen, and Lin Chong to fight.

"Brother, I, Tieniu, want to go too!"

Li Kui also called out.

"Brother, let's go too!"

The rest of the people also asked to fight.

"It's just Jeju, what kind of people are there?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhu Gui and asked.

"There is a Tuanlian in Jeju, named Huang An, and an arresting envoy named He Tao, and the rest are petty officials for arresting robbers."

Zhu Gui replied that Zhu Fu is now opening a hotel in Jeju Prefecture, and he is very clear about the situation in Jeju Prefecture.

"Haha, how dare you come to Liangshanbo just like this?"

Sun Lei laughed loudly, and everyone else laughed too. If it was another hill, they would have been so frightened that they would have shut the gate of the hill tightly in the face of the encirclement by officers and soldiers.But Liangshan Po is different. There have been countless people who have thrown themselves into the mountain recently. After selection, some have been recruited. Now there are nearly [-] minions, and there are natural dangers guarding the water park. Even tens of thousands of troops are not afraid. The strength of a Jeju government is not invincible.

"Brother, let these officers and soldiers enter Liangshanpo first!"

Pei Xuan cupped his fists at Sun Lei and said.

"What are you talking about? Our Liangshan is so prosperous, who doesn't know about the eight hundred miles of water? Wouldn't it be dishonoring Liangshan's face to let them in!"

Ruan Xiaoqi was the first to disagree. Now they are the heroes in the hearts of the villages and towns around Shuibo. If they let the officers and soldiers enter Shuibo, wouldn't they lose the face and hearts they earned so hard?

"Xiaoqi, don't worry, listen to the reason first."

Sun Lei raised his hand to stop the angry Ruan Xiaoqi.

"Brother, Liangshan is now the most prosperous place in the Jianghu. There are countless people who have come to the mountain. Today, there are as many as [-] minions. There are too many people, but the equipment can't keep up! Now most of the minions only have simple Weapons are not equipped with armor! In the future, wars will come one after another, how can we fight without weapons and armor?"

Pei Xuan cupped his fists and saluted Sun Lei.

"Song Xingtong" stipulates: "All those who privately ban weapons will be punished for one and a half years... One collar and three crossbows can flow for two thousand miles, and three collars and five crossbows can be twisted; privately owned armor and crossbows that are not fully completed are said to be useless. And it’s not privately made, one hundred sticks; don’t worry about those who are not perfect.”

Weapons such as folk swords are easy to obtain, but armor, bows and crossbows are not available.

"Pei Xuan's words are reasonable. When the two armies are fighting, armor is very important. If there is no armor to protect the body, no matter how many horses there are, it will be useless."

Lin Chong said, he is the instructor of the imperial army, and he knows what armor means on the battlefield.

"But armor is not easy to make. The folks don't have it at all, and the craftsmen are all in the government and the army."

Lu Zhishen also opened his mouth and said that many armors of the Western Army were made by generals, and Tong Guan also raised some craftsmen in private, but these were assets in the army, and ordinary people could not easily get them.
