Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

On the boat, Ruan Xiaowu asked: "Master, why did you first let Xie Shun choose the four people, and then let them choose on their own?"

Zhao Zhen said: "These officials have too many ideas. Let's see later. If they have too many thoughts, they will be kicked out. [Atonement Camp] Although they practice martial arts and military formations, the army only has leaders at most, who can kill generals and capture them." Qi doesn't count on them, and I'm afraid he won't be a good player if he gets into the battle first, but he can use them to attack the city, and he doesn't need to be compensated, and he won't feel bad if he dies. "

Ruan Xiaowu said no more after hearing this.

In Shijie Village, Pei Xuan and others were busy calculating their achievements, while Bai Zhang and Bai Zhi were also conducting consultations in the room. After Ruan Dian spread the news, due to the contribution of the fishermen in Shijie Village, there was no medical fee for this diagnosis and treatment, and everyone in the village with headaches and fever came to the hospital. For a while, the two of them became busy.

Zhao Zhen saw it and ignored it.

Ruandian had tidied up a clean courtyard early, and Zhao Zhen rested there. Although the achievements have not yet been fully calculated, the celebratory wine was served first at night, and the fishermen who contributed their efforts also attended the table, and the excitement lasted for half a night.

On the second day, Bai Zhi accompanied Zhao Zhen to eat Shijie Village's specialties, fish fillet porridge and salted duck eggs. Zhao Zhen asked: "We are going back to Baishi Manor today. How many patients are there here?"

Bai Zhi said: "Officials, these fishermen often get cold food into their bodies. After getting old and weak, their joints will swell and hurt. My brother and I have prescribed the prescription and we have finished reading it today. It is just in time to have the medicine delivered."

At the end of the ceremony, Pei Xuan presented the approved achievements to Zhao Zhen, stamped them, and awarded rewards. The contributing fishermen in the village grinned widely as they looked at the rice, noodles and cloth delivered to them. There were cheers everywhere in Shijie Village.

Accompanied by cheers, Zhao Zhen and his party also returned to Baishi Manor.

As soon as they returned to the manor, before they had time to rest, Wu Yong and Zhu Wu came together and met Zhao Zhen. Wu Yong couldn't wait to ask: "Master, brother Ouyang Shouting sent the prisoners here yesterday. He didn’t make it clear, he just said that the high officials wanted to set up a [redemption camp]?”

Zhao Zhen said: "Students, don't be anxious. It was just my idea. This group of sergeants is not a ragtag group, and there are quite a few strong and healthy people. They are all working as coolies, which is a bit wasted. If we attack the city in the future, we can always use them."

Wu Yong said: "Although this is the case, it will damage the reputation of high-ranking officials. If it spreads, who will be willing to surrender to high-ranking officials in the future? Why not explain to these people who are willing to join the army, the [Atonement Camp] is just a test of whether everyone has the courage to do so." With a bloody and brave fighting spirit, these 257 people were sent to the recruit camp to be trained by Coach Zhang and Senior General Pang Yi, and treated like recruited soldiers. "

"As for the officers who previously served, they are all treated equally. Those who are brave and good at fighting are selected to be the leader of the team, and the most outstanding ones are appointed as the leader and flag bearer."

Zhu Wu also said: "Yes, the hard labor team must also explain that if they serve for three years without making any mistakes, they can be released to their hometown after three years, or they can bring their families to live here. This will not damage the name of high officials' benevolence and righteousness. "

Zhao Zhen said ashamedly: "Thanks to the two brothers, I almost did something regrettable. Without further ado, I will announce this matter right now."

After gathering the team, Zhao Zhen shouted to the prisoners in public. After hearing the news, everyone cheered. Under the escort of sergeants, they were divided into three waves. Those who joined the army went to Wanzi City, the strong ones were sent to the coal mine, and the weak ones were sent to the prison camp to pound rice.

After dealing with the prisoners, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and secretly warned himself that he should be cautious in the future and not just do whatever comes to mind. Fortunately, Wu Yong and Zhu Wu checked and filled in the gaps, so there were no mistakes this time.

Because it was getting late, Zhao Zhen held a banquet to entertain Wu Yong and Zhu Wu.

At the banquet, Zhao Zhen raised his glass and thanked the two of them. Wu Yong and Zhu Wudao said: "The high official has seen the outside world. As military advisors, we naturally have to make suggestions for the high official. Speaking of which, the ten years of hard labor set a few days ago There were many mistakes in this strategy. We didn’t realize it until the high official left. We thought we’d wait for the high official to turn around, so we discussed it with him and took advantage of the [Atonement Camp] incident. solve."

···

After the Battle of Shijie Lake, Zhao Zhen dispersed the fog south of Heihu Temple Town and successively occupied Xiaowu Village, Houguo Village, Baizhuang Village, and Yanzhuang Village. Seeing that the soldiers led by Zhao Zhen were in full order, the four villages did not dare to resist at all. Now Xiao Rang took people to each village to determine the household registration.

Du Qian and Song Wan took the soldiers from both capitals to patrol every three or two days. Zhao Zhen set up a grocery store and a rural school in Heihu Temple Town, and recruited thirty to fifty apprentices and sent them to various workshops. , households in the four villages also recognized Zhao Zhen's rule.

During this period, Xiao Rang came to report that Guo Helin, the rich man of Houguo Village, actually wanted to bribe himself to underreport the land acres when determining the land. In the past, he was even more ruthless because of his wealth. Taking advantage of the large number of brothers in the clan, he intimidated farmers and raped village girls.

In accordance with Xiao Rang's wishes, Guo Helin's family and several accomplices were killed, and the land was returned to the county. Zhao Zhen was also right.

On this day, Zhao Zhen was practicing martial arts in the village, and Wu Yong came to see him with two big men.

The first one has two hairpin hairpins and a double bun. He is wearing a short brown robe with a Bashan collar, a multicolored silk ribbon tied around his waist, and a pine-patterned bronze sword on his back. The white fleshy feet are lined with multi-eared hemp shoes, and the brocade bag hand holds a turtle shell fan. He has a pair of apricot eyes with splayed eyebrows and a square mouth with a beard.

The latter one has eyebrows at the temples, phoenix eyes facing the sky, a light yellow complexion, and a few thin mustaches. He is also wearing a short jacket, slightly revealing the indigo-like embroidery all over his body.

After seeing the ceremony, Wu Yong said: "Master, this morning, I was wandering around Xixi Village and met these two heroes. I saw that they were asking about the official with the villagers and attracted the villagers."

"Pindao's surname is Gongsun, and his name is Mr. Qing. He is also from Jizhou. He has been fond of spears and sticks since he was a child in the village. He has learned various martial arts. People call him Gongsun Shengdalang. Because Having learned a Taoist skill, he can also control the wind and rain, and ride on the mist and clouds. People in the world call Pindao "the dragon that enters the clouds". Along the way, he met this brother Yang Xiong and heard that he was going to join a high official. Pindao was also a long time ago. I heard the name of the official, but I had no chance to meet him. After hearing Brother Yang Xiong's words, I also thought about it and came together to join the official. "

Yang Xiong also said: "The younger brother of the former met a brother in Jizhou, called [Desperate Saburo] Shi Xiu, and he once said that he would come to join the high official. The younger brother killed people in Jizhou, thinking about the brother Shi Xiu who once said that the high official To cover up extravagance, use this to invest.”

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "I have also heard Brother Shi Xiu talk about brothers. When I see him today, he is indeed a hero." Then he turned to Gongsun Sheng and said, "I have also heard of Brother Dao's name in the world, and I am lucky to see him today. The Taoist leader has been traveling in the borders of Hebei and Yanyun, how did he come to the border of Shandong?"

Gongsun Sheng said: "My master has said that for some reason, the secrets of heaven are chaotic. He once said that the opportunity for a villain to attain enlightenment is only in Shandong, so this is the way to invest. A poor Daoist has a way of getting rich and powerful, and sends it to high officials for advice. As for the etiquette, I pray that you will retreat to the left and right, and allow the poor to explain in detail."
