Water Margin people

Chapter 674 Miscellaneous
Broken Jinting.

"Are you gone?"

Sun Lei asked while drinking tea and looking at the autumn scenery of the water park.

"I just left, go straight to Jiangnan!"

Zhu Gui said.

"It seems that there is a disagreement within the Mingjiao. Deng Yuanjue is obviously depressed and exhausted."

Sun Lei smiled and said.

"If a group like Mingjiao starts to expand, various problems will naturally arise within it. After all, the three religions and nine schools are not all good. With all kinds of thoughts, how can these people be good together."

Xiao Jiasui said, he appreciates Sun Lei's current plan for the development of Liangshanbo. It is very important to expand strength, but more importantly, people must be united. This is the truth that the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest has long been confirmed countless times. up.

"It is estimated that the great monk will not be able to stop it. The collapse of the river's embankment was not achieved in a day. How can it be stopped by manpower."

Sun Lei shook his head. Deng Yuanjue was obviously a great monk with a heart to save the world, that's why he joined the Mingjiao, trying to use Mingjiao to save people in the south of the Yangtze River.

But the rebel army of Mingjiao has never been a good kind, or it can be said that the rebel army since ancient times has nothing good. The murder and arson are not worse than the previous dynasty, and it can even be said to be even worse. This is the case from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

And when Deng Yuanjue found that the Mingjiao, which he regarded as his belief, had deviated from the original track and gradually turned into a murderous cult, and he was powerless to stop it, the powerless heartache was quite tormenting.

"Don't care about other people's affairs, let's take care of ourselves. How is the autumn harvest going?"

Sun Lei looked at the people around him and asked, how about the Mingjiao, that's all Mingjiao's business, he only cares about Liang Shanbo's affairs.

"Brother, don't worry, grain harvests are progressing steadily in various places. Although there is some drought this year, our Liangshanbo rivers and canals are densely covered, which can be considered a rare bumper year."

Wen Huanzhang said, the autumn harvest is the most important thing in Liangshanbo at present.

"That's good. No amount of food is too much."

Sun Lei is satisfied with the truth, everything in troubled times will be worthless, only food will not, because it is a person who cannot do without food.

Sun Lei led the crowd around Liangshanbo. Almost all the soldiers had gone home to visit their relatives, only the recruits were still training.

"How much have you joined the army recently?"

Sun Lei looked at the recruits who were training with chant and asked.

"It's too much, I can't even collect it!"

Li Zhu shook his head and smiled wryly. Since ancient times, being a soldier has been a hard job. Conscripting soldiers in all dynasties has been difficult. The common people only want to escape military service, but Liang Shanbo is the opposite. Young and middle-aged people have sharpened their heads to serve as soldiers.

"how many?"

Sun Lei asked curiously.

"The list just included has 4 people! They are all young and middle-aged."

Li Zhu opened the mouth and said.

"4 people!"

Everyone was surprised, this number was a bit too much, not because Liangshan Po couldn't afford it, but because it absorbed all the young people around.

"These 4 people are not only from the people around Liangshanbo, but most of them are from the east and west roads of Beijing. What happened in the west city caused anger and resentment, and the people had no way of life. Many people came to serve as soldiers, thinking of serving as soldiers for food."

Li Zhu explained.

"It's not good if so many people accept it, and it's not good if you don't accept it!"

Sun Lei was a little bit worried. If he didn't accept it, he was afraid that it would cool the hearts of the people. The people's families couldn't get rid of the pot, and the young and middle-aged people had a big appetite. In order not to burden the family, they could only think about becoming a soldier and risking their lives for food. .

"Brother, since you're here, there's no need to drive them away. There are many fields around us. Take some soldiers, and let them start reclamation for the rest."

Xiao Jiasui pointed to the outside of Liangshan Park and said with a smile.

"The military commander said this right to the bottom of my heart! Isn't there a lot of fields! If the west city can plunder the fields from the people, I can snatch them back from them. If you don't accept it, you will beat him!"

Sun Lei laughed out loud, those who robbed the people in Xicheng were treacherous officials and villains who killed the people.The one Liang Shanbo robbed of the West City was a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor.

"elder brother!"

Ruan Xiaoqi's voice sounded, and Ruan Xiaoqi swung from the ship to the shore by pulling the cable.

"Xiaoqi, I heard that you are getting married? My brother, I haven't prepared the gift yet!"

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoqi with a smile and joked that Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi were going to get married in the near future, and the old lady of the Ruan family specially invited him over and said that Sun Lei must go to the table.

"Brother, don't make fun of Xiaoqi! Brother's coming is the happiest thing in Xiaoqi's life, what gift do you want!"

Ruan Xiaoqi scratched his head in embarrassment, his face was even a little rosy.

"You must have a gift, if you don't give it to you, you have to give it to the bride!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Where's Little Five?"

Sun Lei looked around and found that Ruan Xiaowu hadn't come.

"Fifth brother is thinner than me, how dare you come here!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"Who said, didn't I just come here from my old lady! You don't care about everything as a shopkeeper, don't you make my old lady and sister-in-law busy with everything?"

Ruan Xiaowu came down from the mountain, stared at Ruan Xiaoqi and said.

"Hey, with Fifth Brother here, I don't have to worry about it!"

Ruan Xiaoqi chuckled.

"The day has been set, and the navy is fine. You should be busy. The brothers are all waiting for the wedding wine. If you don't drink well that day, you two must be thrown into the pool go."

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi and smiled.

"Brother, don't worry! Let the brothers drink happily."

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile, this is a major event in their lives, and another group of brothers came to congratulate, of course they want to have a good time drinking.

"Your sailors almost drink!"

Lu Zhishen patted Ruan Xiaoqi's shoulder and smiled.

"Don't dare to compare with the master!"

Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly begged for mercy, and every time there was a fight for wine at a banquet, the sailors were the first to be defeated. There was no way around it. There were Lu Zhishen and Wu Song in the infantry, and Du Po, Sun An and others in the horse army. The navy was really nothing People who can drink.

"It's time for the navy to expand. Zhang Shun has performed very well. He has been leading the navy very well during this period of time. You should have a battalion of this navy."

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shun with a smile and said, with Zhang Shun's ability and contribution, he should have been promoted to general long ago.

"Thank you brother!"

Zhang Shun was overjoyed, Sun Lei's words were enough.

"Mengkang's ship should have been built, and it's time for you to set up your own fleet."

Sun Lei pointed to the mountain behind Liangshanbo, where there is a shipyard.

Sun Lei had long thought of expanding the navy's army, but the navy was really short of people. Although Li Jun and the others were capable, they were newcomers after all, and they didn't have the slightest credit.

As for the original lieutenant generals of the navy, Ni Yun, Di Cheng, Bu Qing, and Wang Dingliu were still far from the main generals, and only Zhang Shun was enough.

"In the past few days, you can choose your soldiers. You also need to find Meng Kang and Ye Chun to get familiar with the new ships."

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shun and said.

"Yes, brother!"

Zhang Shun bowed down to Sun Lei.

"Don't be envious. I heard that you are very serious about studying naval warfare. I will arrange an assessment for you next month. If you pass, the two of you can command a battalion together!"

Seeing Wang Dingliu and Ni Yun looking at Zhang Shun enviously, Sun Lei said with a smile, if the ability is not enough, the number should be rounded up, anyway, the hearts of the brothers should not be chilled.
