Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 69 Lu Zhishen: Brother, are you going to rebel?

School grounds.

Now the military forces of Qingfeng Village have been divided into three groups, trained by Hua Rong, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen respectively.

The one hundred cavalrymen led by Hua Rong were a formal and well-organized group.

The five hundred infantrymen led by Wu Song were local soldiers.

Originally, Qingfeng Village expanded its army to 800 people, but the battle between Sanshan and Qingfeng resulted in 200 casualties.

So there were a total of six hundred soldiers on the parade ground.

Lu Zhishen brought three hundred surrendered soldiers.

There is nothing special about Hua Rong's cavalry and Wu Song's local soldiers. What is special is the surrendered soldiers led by Lu Zhishen.

Liu Gao took a look:
Oh my god, it’s so bright!

Blind eyes!
It turned out that all the surrendered soldiers led by Lu Zhishen had shaved their heads, sparkling brightly in the sunlight!

It was like a flash bomb!

Lu Zhishen didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he made all these surrendered soldiers wear black monk's robes!
Good guy!
Three hundred bald guys in all black clothes swarm in front of you and ask you if you are scared!
Black Society!

Liu Gao could not help but call Lu Zhishen over and ask:
"Second brother, what kind of style is this? It's quite unique!"

"Brother, you don't know!"

Lu Zhishen explained to Liu Gao: "Most of these surrendered soldiers are monks who have returned to secular life from Baozhu Temple on Erlong Mountain!

“Their hair isn’t long to begin with, so I might as well just shave their heads!
“Refreshing and unique!”

"It's really different..."

Liu Gao suddenly had an idea: "Second brother, does your battalion have a name?"

Lu Zhishen rubbed his big bald head twice as if kneading dough, and said in a muffled voice:
"do not have……"

"Brother will give you one——

"Lawless!"

Liu Gao put his arm around Lu Zhishen's shoulders affectionately and said:
"Your battalion will be styled like this from now on!

“There’s an old saying that goes, ‘A monk holding an umbrella has no hair or sky!

"I will give each of you a black umbrella. Just imagine the scene. Hundreds of bald men all holding black umbrellas. It will scare people to death when they appear!

"Forget it, an umbrella is inconvenient, I'd better wear a hat.

"But Lawless is a really good name!"

Lawlessness, this is so exciting!
Lu Zhishen's blood boiled when he heard this, but he immediately realized a problem:
"Brother, are you planning to rebel?"

"It's a little early, but it's only a matter of time."

Liu Gao patted Lu Zhishen on the shoulder:

"The emperor is incompetent, treacherous ministers are in power, the court is corrupt, and the people are living in misery!

"We must rebel!
"But now is not the time, our strength is still very weak!
"So we have to grow slowly!"

[Lu Zhishen's favorability +1000! ]

"Xing! Big brother, I listen to you!"

Although Lu Zhishen was once an officer, he was not opposed to rebellion and even felt that his life had a purpose:

"But brother, you said it's not the right time yet. If we call ourselves lawless, won't that be too revealing?"

"Second brother, I have a bold idea."

Liu Gao circled and pointed:
"You see, in fact, the current military strength of Qingfeng Village has exceeded the limit.

"It's okay to have one or two hundred more people. As long as no one reports it, the higher-ups won't have the time to investigate me.

"But adding your three hundred surrendered soldiers would be too conspicuous, but I don't want to disband them.

"Firstly, if they disband and become part of the civilian population, they will become a hidden danger. Secondly, I am in need of people here...

"So I want you to take them to the mountains and become bandits!

"Of course, becoming a bandit was fake, the actual thing was to raise soldiers outside!

"This has two advantages. First, it is equivalent to nurturing the enemy for self-protection. As long as there are rebels in Qingfeng Village, they must exist!

"Secondly, we are each other's support, and we can support each other if anything happens!
"What do you think, second brother?" In fact, Liu Gao had been thinking about this matter for a long time.

If we keep soldiers in Qingfeng Village, it will be very troublesome if someone reports us.

After he destroyed the Three Mountains, Qingfeng Village lost its meaning of existence. What if it was abolished?
Liu Gao thought about it and decided to keep the enemy at bay!
In this way, he can achieve the freedom to maintain his troops!
After all, Qingfeng Village is surrounded by three big mountains: Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain!

Including Baihu Mountain, there are four big mountains in total!
It is reasonable and logical to have a thousand or eight hundred bandits on every mountain!
With the addition of 600 soldiers from the camp, Liu Gao can mobilize a team of up to 5,000 people!

If we zoom in, we will see that in Shandong there are also Liangshan Lake, Duiying Mountain, Kushu Mountain, Dengyun Mountain and other mountains!

If Liu Gao takes all these hilltops, each hilltop will have a thousand or eight hundred bandits...

Isn’t it wonderful?
Of course, there is no need to tell Lu Zhishen all this now. I can discuss it in detail with my brothers later when I have the chance.

"I will follow your instructions, big brother!"

Lu Zhishen naturally had no objection:

"But big brother, don't forget me when you guys are drinking!"

"How can we miss you?"

Liu Gao put his arm around Lu Zhishen's shoulders and said as they walked:

"You are in Qingfeng Mountain, come down anytime for a drink!"

……

It was time for a break, and Liu Gao, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Hua Rong, and Jiao Ting went to the shade of a tree for a meeting.

After repeating what he had said to Lu Zhishen, Liu Gao asked:
"Brothers, what do you think?"

Wu Song and Jiao Ting supported Liu Gao without hesitation.

Hua Rong asked, "I wonder why you rebelled, brother?"

"Didn't Big Brother just say that?"

Lu Zhishen glared:
"The emperor is incompetent, treacherous ministers are in power, the court is corrupt, and the people are living in misery!

"Isn't this enough?"

Hua Rong remained silent and just looked at Liu Gao.

Liu Gao pulled out his goose-feather fan, and as if possessed by Zhuge Liang, he shook it and said:

“What I just said is only one aspect. Although people are living in poverty, they are still surviving and will not die.

"But have you noticed that the Liao Kingdom is eyeing the Song Dynasty from the north?
“And the Jin Kingdom!
"They all want our beautiful country!"

In "Water Margin", the Jin Kingdom had not yet become a powerful force, but it became different after being integrated with "The Romance of Yue Fei".

The Jin Kingdom in this world has risen!

Although the Liao Dynasty was still very powerful, the Jin Dynasty was even more powerful!

The two northern heroes coexisted and restrained each other, which allowed the precarious Song Dynasty to survive in the cracks...

According to what Liu Gao saw and heard along the way, the Jingkang Shame might not have to wait until 1127 AD...

"Whether it is the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, once they move south, the Song Dynasty will be powerless to resist!"

Liu Gao casually drew a simple map on the ground:
“Unable to resist, the emperor and officials of the Song Dynasty had no choice but to surrender!
"But this beautiful land will be littered with corpses, rivers of blood, thousands of miles of barren land, and countless lives will be lost!"

Liu Gao tapped the map vigorously with the handle of his goose-feather fan:

“This is our hometown!

"If the Song Dynasty cannot protect our hometown, we will protect it ourselves!
"Fourth brother, do you understand?"

Not to mention Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, two men of high temperament, even the relatively calm Hua Rong was excited:

"Brother, I understand!
"I listen to my elder brother!"

"Brothers!"

Under the huge umbrella-like shade of the tree, Liu Gao, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Hua Rong held hands in a circle:
"Brothers, united as one, we can break any obstacle!

"I will definitely lead you to conquer a vast empire!"

Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Hua Rong: "I will listen to you, brother!"
