Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 406

In this era, large-scale equipment such as aerial ladders are used as they are made. Dazhai in Liangshan is located on a small island in the center of the lake. With the current capacity of ships, such a large aerial ladder cannot be transported even if it is dismantled and transported out. , so once Liangshan surrendered, these ladders would become waste.

Sun Xin was thinking about the utilization of waste, and when he heard that there was movement in Liangshan's camp, he simply set up the ladder to watch the excitement.

When he came to the ladder, Sun Xin saw that the cottage was already in chaos, many people were fighting for money and fighting each other, and some people who looked like leaders seemed to be trying to maintain order.

Put a few people on the ladder to stare down and report the situation, and Sun Xin returned to the ground to wait.

The flames of war did not go out together.

In the evening, many people suddenly descended from Liangshan, and they ran to the camp of the Baobao Army to surrender.

They all shouted that they were here to surrender, and they looked like some defeated soldiers who had nowhere to go during the fighting inside Liangshan.

At the beginning, the protection army was worried that the other party would have some kind of conspiracy. After accepting a large number of people, each battalion dispatched protection members from the battalion to step up interrogation.

They soon discovered that these people were already frightened, they only wanted the protection of the guards, and they basically had no intention of doing anything wrong.

After some inquiries to Sun Xin and others, they found out that after today's letter entered Liangshan, there was disagreement among Liangshan at first. , Even if you want to negotiate conditions with the opponent, you have very few cards. Finally, everyone gradually understands that the only way to surrender is to agree to the terms of the protection army.

What happened next was not that everyone discussed how to surrender, but that within a quarter of an hour Liangshan began to fight and rob each other.

Some people took a fancy to the surrender conditions of the Protectorate Army, saying that those who lead soldiers and horses to surrender can keep their own soldiers and horses for reorganization, and the more people they lead to surrender, the greater the credit they can get.

So the leaders all wanted to grab the soldiers and horses of other leaders, so that they could gain more power in their hands after surrendering with the protection army.

Some people want to gain power, and some people are heinous. They are afraid of being liquidated after surrendering, so they want to get more soldiers and horses, so that they can get more credit to offset their crimes.

There are also some people who simply have grievances with other bandits and take the opportunity to kill each other.

Many of the bandits on Liangshan were originally Liangshan’s enemies, and they had to surrender only after the Zhuangzi or the city was broken. It is inevitable that some of their wives and children have been slaughtered by other bandits on Liangshan, and later they had to surrender under the threat of Liangshan. Those who were humiliated and obeyed Liangshan were also considered bandits.

Originally, when Song Jiang was alive, due to the fact that Liangshan had a backbone, everyone moved their strength to one place, and there was a sense of loyalty on their heads, so everyone dared not fight each other, but now seeing that Liangshan was about to end, everyone naturally had revenge and resentment. complain.

Some bandits who were born in the official army suffered a lot from other bandits at the beginning, and even their families were killed when the Liangshan bandits broke through the city. After going up the mountain, Song Jiang used them again, and their subordinates accumulated a lot of money. He has gained a lot of power, so he naturally took his brother with a knife to recover the situation.

When they went to kill others, they were not without brothers, so they naturally resisted when they were in danger, so in the blink of an eye, there were many teams of men and horses killing each other on Liangshan.

During the hard work, soon some people were beaten out of their brothers, or out of fear, they saw that there was no shelter in the cottage, so they could only run out and surrender one after another.

The guards interrogated them, and soon found out that even those who had plots against the people who escaped and surrendered could not do anything. Whoever asks for credit, maybe their master has been hacked to death in the cottage by now.

On the contrary, after these people surrendered, they found that the protection army did not treat them harshly, and finally realized that they had come to a safe place, and then thought of retreating, so they all wanted to make meritorious service, and soon made the political cadres of the mutual protection army burnt out. .

These bandits quickly boasted about themselves, swearing that they knew Liangshan like the back of their hands, or that they wanted to report those who committed the most serious crimes on Liangshan.

In other words, the leaders of Liangshan have hidden a lot of wealth in secret, and when the stronghold is broken, they can bring the protection army to clean it up.

In other words, those of the leader's subordinates were temporarily recruited in the melee just now, and they are not his brothers at all. When the time comes to break the stronghold, he can help the peasants and soldiers to identify.

These people are eager to do good deeds, and the news in the report is chaotic and mixed. It is inevitable that there are many exaggerated statements, and even contradictory ones. A piece of property A said that it was placed with the leader of B, and B said it was placed with the leader of A. The missionaries had no choice but to bring the two of them together to confront each other. As a result, the subordinates of the two leaders said a few words to each other and couldn't agree with each other. The two men were beaten to the point of bleeding, and the missionary teacher quickly asked the soldiers around him to use bayonets to force the two sides back.

This incident happened more than once, and there were eight surrenderers who injured each other alone.

Sun Xin, Luan Tingyu and the others couldn't laugh or cry when they saw Liangshan suddenly become like this. Pei Xuan sighed and said, "I'm afraid this cottage will be bloody tonight."

Sun Xin nodded, Pei Kongmu really cared about the common people.

As the sky darkened, as Pei Xuan said, the scuffle on Liangshan not only did not end, but the situation intensified after some small leaders were killed. The two sides directly demolished the houses, lit them with wood, fought each other, and went crazy at the same time. robbed each other of property.

After the sky was completely dark, there were continuous explosions in the cottage, which meant that the firearms had been loaded.

Luan Tingyu asked Sun Xin if he wanted to interfere, and Sun Xin shook his head.

Now Liangshan is in chaos, and even if you send people in to fight with hot weapons, you will suffer heavy casualties.

Anyway, the time to surrender hadn't come yet, so he pretended not to hear.

A melee continued until noon the next day, and there were no more explosions in the cottage. This did not mean that their civil strife was over, but because their gunpowder was exhausted in the cannibalism last night. up.

There was nothing to be seen from the ladder, most of the cottage had been burned, and the fire kept heading towards the back mountain.

Although it was not yet noon, Sun Xin still waved his hand to let the guards start calling the city to prepare for surrender.

Houshan is the place where Liangshan resettled his family. There are many old and weak women and children. If these bandits were to kill all the way from the front mountain to the back mountain, blood would flow like a river. These bandits would just kill each other. It would be against the supervisory authority to kill the elderly and children. idea of ​​meeting.

The sounds of shouting from all sides came one after another, and soon, the Liangshan became quiet, and then a man dressed as a literati came down from the city wall at the main gate. The man who came here probably had a bath and changed clothes, but the long gown on his body was still in tatters. There are quite a lot of caves. Obviously, even a scholar must have suffered some military disasters in the cottage last night.
