Water Margin people

Chapter 197 Xiao Jiasui's Worries
After a night of drunkenness, it was noon when Sun Lei woke up here. After washing up, Sun Lei went outside the Juyi hall.

"Zhaizhu!"

When the guards saw Sun Lei coming out, they all stood up straight and punched their chests and said in unison.

"Ok!"

Sun Lei nodded with a smile. After the first battle yesterday, the mental outlook of the minions was instantly different. They had the aura of an elite soldier.

"Has the reward been paid?"

Sun Lei asked with concern.

"Go back to the village master, it's handed out, it's worth five taels of silver!"

The guard's minion excitedly took out a silver ingot from his pocket.

"Put it away, you don't need to pay if you lose the village master!"

Sun Lei smiled and patted that minion's shoulder jokingly.

The account of the good brother is clear, this is what Sun Lei has always believed, human nature cannot stand the test, especially the minions, the people who come up the mountain are all with their heads pinned to their belts, ready to fight for wealth and wealth, but now it is too risky After fighting to the death, how can this wealth be less?

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature and restrained military affairs, but had to expand the number of troops due to foreign aggression. This led to the low salary of the soldiers. The most elite soldiers in the imperial army had a consistent monthly salary, and the middle and low soldiers only had three to five hundred cash. Xiang Bing only had less than three hundred coins, and the money was sometimes deducted and owed.

Although the army took care of food and lodging, the money was obviously not enough to support the family.Therefore, in order to improve the fighting spirit of the sergeants, they have to have a full meal before sending out troops every time, and then send some money as an incentive.

After this war, all the minions on the mountain will be rewarded, and the more brave they move forward, the more rewards they will get, just like the one in front of them, it takes at least two months to earn five taels of silver by working at the foot of the mountain.

"Hide the money well, don't go to the gambling house, stand guard!"

Sun Lei explained a few more words before going down the mountain.

"Congratulations to the village master!"

Several minions said in unison again with boxing chests.

Lin Chong was training the minions by the golden beach. The great victory and generous rewards boosted the morale of the minions, who were training hard amidst bursts of chant.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of me, this copycat?"

Seeing that Xiao Jiasui was also watching the minions training by the beach, Sun Lei walked over and asked.

For Xiao Jiasui, Sun Lei intended to solicit. Xiao Jiasui played at the end of the Water Margin, and he only played one time, but he alone broke Jingnan City where Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were helpless.

Breaking through a city with one person's strength requires not only force but also courage and strategy.

"The elite has surpassed the general Xiang army, and in time it will definitely be a powerful force."

Xiao Jiasui looked at Sun Lei and said, these words did not mean to please at all, they were telling the truth.

"Ha ha!"

Sun Lei smiled smugly.

"However... Leader Sun would take it for granted if he expects this to guard the water and develop and then conquer the world."

Xiao Jiasui looked at Sun Lei and said calmly, as if to say something very small.

"Oh, Mr. Xiao actually saw it?"

Sun Lei said not unexpectedly.

"Leader Sun's purpose is so clear that anyone who understands it can understand it at a glance."

Xiao Jiasui nodded.

"For example, the leader of the sun fell into the grass and turned into a bandit, but Qiuqiu never violated the surrounding villages and towns. He only controlled the surrounding areas in the form of protection fees, but provided protection, and has been practicing until now. Whether it is Yuncheng, Qinghe or Jeju, they have all been defeated by the power of Liangshan. Under the circumstances, this is no longer grass, this is rebellion! Leader Sun is inviting the hearts of the people!"

"There is also Liangshan Town, which is no longer a mountain village and wild town, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a city!"

Xiao Jiasui pointed to Liangshan Town outside the water park.

"Haha, is there anything obvious?"

Sun Lei touched his cheek and smiled.

"Since ancient times, falling grass to be a bandit has been to rob one side, causing anger and resentment. How can leader Sun stand out from the crowd now, how can he not see it?"

Xiao Jiasui shook his head and said.

"Since Mr. has seen it, I won't deny it. It's really helpless to fall into the grass, but since it's fallen into the grass, can't you really be a grassroots bandit? Rebellion is also a good choice, after all, the court is hopeless. .”

Sun Lei generously admitted.

"Isn't Chief Sun afraid of me reporting to the court? This is the crime of Zhu Jiu Clan!"

Xiao Jiasui squinted at Sun Lei.

"Mr. Xiao, your bluffing words are too obvious. You are on top of my Liangshan now. If you report me, you are also reporting yourself. Being associated with rebels is also a crime against the Jiuzu."

"And Mr. Xiao has already said that what I did was too obvious. People who understand it can understand it at a glance. Not all the people in the court are idiots. There must be a lot of people who can see this."

Sun Lei said indifferently.

"Then Chief Sun is not afraid?"

Xiao Jiasui continued to ask.

"Afraid? If I was afraid, I would not kill Gao Yanei. If I was afraid, I would not come to Liangshan. I am not bragging. With my wisdom, it is enough to be a corrupt official or a landlord. But that is not what I want. Life! You see how refreshing it is to go up the mountain to rebel freely and do whatever you want? Why bother to wrong yourself?"

"As for the fear of the imperial court coming to suppress it, that's a small problem. If we make a bet, the imperial court will not react at all if I defeat the Jeju army. What should Liangshanpo be like?"

Sun Lei said with some pride.

Liangshan seems to be very powerful now, and it is already the king of Jingdong Road, but this is just a few thousand people occupying the mountain as king, and in the eyes of the emperor, it is just a grass village.For the Song Dynasty, which has a million-strong army, it is not worth mentioning that the disease of scabies is not worth mentioning. The emperor and those high-ranking officials will not look at it directly. You must know that the Northern Song Dynasty has established itself for more than 150 years, and there have been nearly two hundred uprisings. There are one or two local uprisings every year, and the court has long been accustomed to it. As long as the uprising is not too big, they don't bother to take care of it, just ignore it.

"Boss Sun is really courageous!"

Xiao Jiasui praised, being able to be so calm can be regarded as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face. Ordinary thieves would be terrified when they heard that the court came to suppress them.

"Mr. Xiao is also from a famous family. I wonder if he is interested in participating in important events?"

Sun Lei sent out the invitation with a smile. Xiao Jiasui's great-grandfather was Xiao Wei, who was the younger brother of Emperor Wu of the Great Liang Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He later served as the governor of Jingnan.

"Leader Sun, this is a road of no return. There have been more than 200 uprisings since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, and none of them have succeeded!"

Xiao Jiasui didn't refuse or agree, just looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Are you worried that I will be ordered to safety like those people?"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and asked.

"In the past, the envoys of the ten festivals were also heroes of the green forest. Occupying the mountain as the king had the tendency to rebel, but the imperial court made ten people bend their backs with a single paper, which hurt the hearts of the heroes of the green forest. I really answered that sentence In other words, if you want to be rich, follow the rules and sell wine and vinegar; if you want to be an official, kill and set fire and receive the order."

Xiao Jiasui said, Sun Lei just killed Gao Qiu's son, Gao Qiu was the only one who had the grudge. If the emperor opened his mouth, what would Gao Qiu do?Don't you just grit your teeth and swallow it in your belly, and greet you with a smile?

Xiao Jiasui had already been extremely disappointed with Da Song, otherwise it would have been easy for him to become an official with his talent, and he wouldn't have been idle until now.
