Zhang Jun, a member of the Zhongshu family, drafted the edict in accordance with the imperial edict of Zhao Guan's family, and urgently summoned outstanding craftsmen from the steel forging workshops in various prefectures to rush to the capital forging steel workshop to learn the converter steelmaking method, so as to prepare for the development of new steelmaking production in various places in the future.

Just reserve...

As for the first piece of fine steel sample produced using the converter steel-making method, Zhao Ji ordered the Beijing Steel Forge to forge two weapons, a steel sword and a steel mace.

The body of the steel sword should be inlaid with gold-plated seal characters: "The sword given by the emperor to Zongze";

The blade of the steel mace should be inlaid with gold-plated seal characters: "The emperor bestowed upon Li Gang the mace."

After the steel sword and mace were made, Zhao Ji sent two envoys to Hedong and Huainan to give the sword and mace to Zongze and Li Gang respectively.

At this time, Zongze recruited two groups of bandits, Wang Shan and Li Jin, from Hedong, Hebei and other places, and stayed in Hedong temporarily, and carried out military reorganization of the two groups with a total of more than 10,000 troops, and Xiao

The way of loyalty and righteousness, carrying out ideological transformation...

At this time, after Li Gang quelled the banditry in western Beijing and Huainan, and recruited Wang Zaixing, Li Gui, Wang Dalang and nearly 10,000 troops under his command, he also followed Zhao Guan's imperial edict and learned from Zong Ze's practices...

Li Gang temporarily stayed in Huainan to reorganize the rebels who were recruited and learn from Zongze's methods. He taught the rebels the principles of loyalty and ideological reform...

More than ten days later, when Zongze and Li Gang received the imperial edict and learned that their official positions as Quanwei (temporary) had been regularized and that they had received a series of generous titles and rewards from Guan Zhao's family,

Zongze and Li Gang, two virtuous and loyal ministers, were so excited that they knelt down one after another. They worshiped and thanked Zhao Guan from a distance in the direction of the capital where Zhao Guan's family, who had suddenly transformed into the Mingjun Holy Lord, wept with joy...

Zongze and Li Gang both knelt down and swore to the sky: I will serve the public with integrity, be diligent in government and love the people, show courage and loyalty, and swear allegiance to the Zhao Guan family of the current Mingjun and Holy Lord...

…

Next, Zhao Ji, the time traveler, sent famous ministers and brave generals to lead the army to suppress bandits in various places, and supplemented it with the plan of recruiting security. By February of the third year of Xuanhe, most of the bandit troubles in the Song Dynasty had been quelled.

Now, there are only bandits from Liangshan who were forced to escape from Liangshan and became rogue bandits due to the encirclement and suppression by the imperial army. There are more than 5,000 bandits in total who have not yet been exterminated.

Thirty-six bandit leaders, including Song Jiang, led the defeated generals of more than 5,000 remnants and were forced to go south. They took advantage of the opportunity to seize more than a dozen large official ships and sailed southward...

During this period of time, Zhao Ji was in the capital, paying close attention to the military intelligence reports coming from various places, and deliberately ordered the various Xiang armies to force Song Jiang and other rogue bandits to flee south.

So far, Zhao Ji has learned from the military reports he received about the whereabouts of Liangshan Song Jiang and other rogue bandits that they have approached Haizhou...

Zhao Ji, a time traveler who is a master of history, knows that Haizhou has the great nemesis of the "heroes" of Liangshan - Haizhou Zhizhou Zhang Shuye!

Zhao Ji also knew that the Liangshan heroes in history were really not as awesome as described in the novel "Water Margin".

The heroic deeds of Song Jiang and one hundred and eight generals described in the literary work "Water Margin" are very different from the Song Jiang Uprising in real history.

Even in real history, the total number of big and small leaders in the Liangshan Uprising was not even 108, but 36 major big and small leaders.

Before Zhao Ji traveled through time and came to the Song Dynasty, he had read the article "Thirty-six People in Song and Jiang" written by Gong Sheng of the Southern Song Dynasty and included in "Guixin Miscellaneous Knowledge", a careful historical record written by people in the late Song and early Yuan Dynasties.

The thirty-six "heroes" in Liangshan are:

"Hu Baoyi Song Jiang:

Do not call him a false king, but call him to protect righteousness.

How could he be so arrogant that he only commits taboos?"

"Wu Xuexue, a wise man:

The ancients used wisdom to uphold the country and the people.

What a shame, you are a drunken and lustful person!"

"Jade Unicorn Lu Junyi

The white jade unicorn looks so cute.

If the dust is too much, the fur will eventually become damaged."

"Dadao Guan wins:

If Dadao Guan is victorious, how can he become a grandson?

Yun Chang is righteous and brave, and you are behind him."

"Living Yama Ruan Xiaoqi"

Underground Yama, chasing souls and capturing souls.

Now that he is alive, he is called uncle."

…

Traveler Zhao Ji can remember the praises of Liangshan’s “heroes” who ranked among the top five,

Zhao Ji could not remember all the praises of the remaining thirty-one "heroes", but he could still remember their nicknames and names clearly, which are:

"Liu Tang with shakuhachi legs, Zhang Qing with no feathers and arrows, Yan Qing, the prodigal son,

The sick Wei Chi is Sun Li, the white stripes in the waves are Zhang Shun, the boat fire is Zhang Heng,

Ruan Xiaoer, the short-lived Erlang, Lu Zhishen, the flower monk, Wu Song, the traveler,

Iron whip Hu Yanchuo, Hunjiang dragon Li Jun, Jiuwen dragon Shi Jin,

Xiao Li Guanghua Rong, Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, Black Whirlwind Li Kui,

The little whirlwind Chai Jin, the winged black tiger Lei Heng, the magical Taibao Dai Zong,

Suo Chao is the vanguard, Ruan Xiaowu is Tai Sui, Yang Zhi is the green-faced beast,

The illness is related to Yang Xiong, who keeps bumping into Dong Ping, and the two-headed snake solves the problem of Zhen.

Zhu Tong, the handsome man with beard, did not block Mu Heng, and Shi Xiu, the desperate man,

The two-tailed scorpion solves the treasure, the iron king Chao Gai,

Xu Ning is the golden spearman, and Li Ying is the eagle who attacks the sky."

…

In recent days, Zhao Ji has learned from reports submitted by several state capitals that were looted by Liangshan bandits:

During the siege process, the Liangshan bandits led by Song Jiang also had some prefectural cities that they could not capture. During the battle between the two armies, the officers and soldiers also captured hundreds of Liangshan bandits.

The government tortured and tortured the captured Liangshan Po bandits, and they had already found out that the Liangshan Po bandits were a total of thirty-six leaders headed by Song Jiang; they also had their names and basic information.

Zhao Ji learned from the memorials submitted by several state capitals that had been invaded by Liangshan bandits:

In the world he traveled to, the nicknames and names of the thirty-six leaders of the Liangshan bandits were really the same as those in the "Ode to the Thirty-Six People of Songjiang" written by Gong Sheng of the Southern Song Dynasty that he had read before traveling.

The nicknames and names of the thirty-six people are matched one by one.

Of course, when Zhao Ji was reading history books, he found that some versions of the history books also wrote Jade Unicorn Lu Junyi as Li Junyi. Which version is correct has long been impossible to verify.

When the time traveler Zhao Jisi arrived here, he thought to himself:

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In real history, the thirty-six leaders of Liangshan, big and small, do not completely correspond to the thirty-six Tiangang stars in "Water Margin".

"

The real Song Jiang Uprising is very different from that described in the novel "Water Margin".

Zhao Ji has long known that historical novels cannot be read as official history!

In the long history, there has never been a hero named Lin Chong, nicknamed "Leopard Head", who first suffered humiliation and was extremely aggrieved, and then burst out in revenge, which greatly pleased people's hearts.

A hero like "Lin Chong" who can inspire readers to hate the corrupt imperial court in the late Northern Song Dynasty, but in the real history, there is no such person or incident at all!

In real history, Taiwei Gao Qiu did not have an adopted son, Gao Yanei.

In this way, there will be no more incidents where Gao Yameni fell in love with the young wife of a certain Forbidden Army coach.

Not to mention a series of stories such as "accidentally entering the White Tiger Hall", "beating Coach Hong with a stick", "Fengxueshan Temple", being forced to fall into the Liangshan Mountains, and fighting Wang Lun.

…

In fact, Liangshan was also called Liangshanluo during the Song Dynasty.

Liangshan Park is located at the foot of Liangshan Mountain in the southeast of Shouzhang County, Jingdong East-West Road (Shandong). It was originally a small lake.

From the Five Dynasties to the Shenzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the surging Yellow River had three major breaches. The rolling river water poured into the foot of Liangshan Mountain, and connected with the original ancient giant Yeze, forming an endless large water lake, known as the "Eight Hundred Liangshan Lake"

”.

At that time, many "thieves" used Liangshanbo as their base of operations.

Before Zhao Ji traveled through time, he had read "History of the Song Dynasty·Xu Ji Zhuan", which recorded: "There are many thieves in Liangshan, and they are all fishermen's caves..."

At that time, the great eunuch Yang Jian once guarded the Jingdong area and built abandoned embankments, abandoned weirs, and barren mountains in Liangshan Bo. This was to "enclose the lake and create farmland" in Liangshan Bo in order to collect heavy taxes from the local people and achieve a better purpose of raising money.

The people were in dire straits, and more and more people became bandits. This also laid the mass foundation for the later Song Jiang uprising in Liangshanbo.

By the time Zhao Ji's body was originally owned by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, in the first year of Xuanhe (i.e. 1119 AD), the emperor and officials were squandering the wealth and wealth they had plundered, while the peasants were suffering from hunger and cold.

In the first year of Xuanhe, the Song Dynasty court ordered that Liangshanbo be forcibly returned to "public ownership".

As a result, many people living around Liangshanbo who make a living by fishing and collecting lotus roots must pay tax per boat if they want to enter the large and small lakes in Liangshan to fish and collect lotus roots.

Such a heavy tax forced the people around Liangshanbo to have no choice. So, in the 11th month of the lunar calendar in the first year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang led the crowd to rise up...

Song Jiang, a native of Yuncheng, has a bold temperament, is willing to do good, is brave and mad, likes to make friends with heroes, and is quite prestigious among the local people.

After Song Jiang and others were forced to Liangshan, they raised the banner of righteousness...
