Song Wen reined in his horse and looked at the stunned Song Jiang and his group on the hillock from a distance... Suddenly he felt a little inexplicably ridiculous in his heart.
Wu Erlang got off his horse and ran towards the mountain with all his strength...
Song Jiang looked at Wu Erlang in front of him and was pleasantly surprised... Could it be that military advisor Wu Yong or Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng sent someone to save him?
"Big boss, these are the heroes of the North... I couldn't bear to see the big boss and his brothers being buried here, so I came to save them..."
Suddenly, Li Kui next to him cursed: "Northlanders? Aren't they Khitan dogs? I would rather be chopped down than need Khitan dogs to save..."
Song Jiang scolded: "Shut up! Brother Erlang, now that the ship has been burned...where can we run? These heroes...could it be said that they also went to Jiangnan to vote for Chief Fangla..."
Wu Song shook his head: "Big leader, what other leader Fan La is? Fang La was eager to proclaim himself emperor after conquering more than a dozen counties in five states... Now the imperial court was furious and sent the eunuch Tong Guan to command the elite of the Western Army from Guangzhou, Tangzhou, Henan Prefecture.
Killed here, now we have passed Huangzhou..."
The Liangshan brothers below are whispering... Fang La, no matter how heroic he is, he can only stand up to the sky with tens of thousands of soldiers from several states! To become emperor... there is no day in the sky! Now the emperor is afraid that he will fight Fang La...
The army is fighting against the Xixia barbarians and the Khitan people in the north, those tough guys guarding the border? Although Fang La claims to have divine power... and is blessed by the Manichaean god Manichae, is he really the opponent of the imperial court?
Song Jiang frowned and asked: "Then we...where can we go?"
~~~~~~
This group of cavalry is like a nightmare...it goes away as quickly as it came!
After taking away Song Jiang and four or five bandit leaders, the remaining minions and some Liangshan leaders chose to stay and be recruited.
Zhang Shuye wanted to order a pursuit...but in the end he sighed, put down the military order in his hand, and just sent people to report to the surrounding prefectures and counties to be careful of a group of horse thieves speaking Khitan in the North...
Damn horse thieves! Since when can horses be allowed to be thieves in the Central Plains? War horses are so expensive. If you have so many war horses, you will be a rich man. Do you need to be a thief?
Zhang Shuye was worried... It was obvious that someone had taken Song Jiang's group of thieves as a fighting force. To be able to send so many cavalry to the battlefield at once to rob people, there must be a huge force behind them!
Who are they? Once such a powerful person appears in the Song Dynasty, it means that the rule of the imperial court is on the verge of collapse? Is it another group of bandits?
Off the coast of Haizhou, Song Wen said to Song Jiang, who was sitting in Class A: "Chief Song, at least Li Kui and four old brothers are following you... Once you leave, maybe you can conquer another world..."
Song Jiang smiled bitterly... "Yizhou... is really too far away..."
Song Wen asked: "If Leader Song insists on surrendering to Fangla, he can also..."
Song Jiang shook his head disheartenedly: "If I don't go, if Fang La is really a leader who does big things, I'll just give him back. A dozen counties in five states are eager to become emperor... He's simply crazy! Let's go together.
The sea ship goes to Yizhou... The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but it is a pity that the elders in my hometown... I can't pay the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and I have to be skinned before I can catch a few fish in the water! "
Song Wen sighed... "It won't last long. The Khitans and Jurchens are killing each other. The Song Dynasty not only did not take advantage of the opportunity to work hard, but also frequently sent people to contact the Jurchens... I am afraid that it won't be long before the court will be involved."
It’s not good!”
Song Jiang gritted his teeth and bowed to salute... "Mr. Song, if Mr. Song is interested... Song is willing to gather his brothers again to give Mr. Song..."
Song Wen hurriedly helped Song Jiang up... "Chief Song, I came to the rescue just to admire Chief Song and his thirty brothers for resolutely raising troops to eliminate harm for the people! Killing corrupt officials and opening warehouses to release grain is a righteous act... but it also gives...
The common people have brought a lot of losses! Although I disdain the corrupt and dirty court dignitaries as cattle and horses, I am also a court military attache who defends the land... The court will not let me down, and I, Song Wen, will never raise an army to rebel!"
Song Jiang nodded, his eyes full of disappointment and regret...
Two large black-peng ships, with war horses under the bilges and cavalrymen who had taken off their armor... Allowing the government to search around, these fifty elite cavalry seemed to have disappeared into the Song Dynasty, heading south across Chuzhou and heading straight to Yangzhou.
And go.
Song Jiang is gone...
Instead of leading his brothers to recruit peace and then rebelling, as in history, he finally died without a burial place... Instead, he took Li Kui, Liu Tang and four others on a merchant ship to Yizhou, a place with high mountains and dense forests and sparsely populated areas.
The Jiaozhi people and the Dali people were also entangled with the Song Dynasty there, so it seemed to be a good place to stay.
Song Wen gave Song Jiang a large bag of silver and a few pieces of gold. Once Song Jiang thought about it, he felt a little free and easy, and said goodbye to Song Wen coolly, and boarded the southward boat without looking back.
Wu Erlang finally hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down on one knee and saluted Song Jiang's back...
Song Wen knew that during this period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many heroes like Song Jiang who rose up to power... It can be said that this was a prelude to the collapse of a dynasty!
If such public sentiment cannot shake the vigilance of the ruling class, then this dynasty should perish...
The ship was moving slowly, and it was still dominated by everyone's Bohai pirate sailors, but Song Wen was pleasantly surprised to find that some young people from Qingshan Camp were already busy learning skills on the ship.
I really found a treasure when I invited Mr. Sun Mou back! I didn't expect that Sun Mou had a way of settling accounts, which was more than enough to handle some government affairs. I don't know if Wu Yong, who is full of intrigues and scheming, can get along well with him... But Sun Mou
Mr. Mou also had the reputation of being a scholar, but Wu Yong was not even admitted as a scholar.
After returning, I must immediately think of ways to establish a layout in Dengzhou and Mizhou, and I have to go back to Daqingshan... Manpower, I am in urgent need of manpower now! In the land of four thoroughfares in Daqingshan, there are no other local products... Beggars and refugees
As much as you want!
Song Wen was sitting under the mast. The people in the Qingshan camp naturally regarded Song Wen as their leader, and the Bohai pirates regarded him as their uncle... So Song Wen was really relaxed on the ship.
A young man from Qingshan Camp who came to the boat to learn skills bravely came to Song Wen, grinned and handed Song Wen a grilled fish with both hands... "Hey, Lang Jun... This is the fish grilled by my master, it's delicious!"
"
Song Wen took it with a smile. The fresh sea fish was roasted until brown, and the fins became crispy... After taking a bite, Song Wen asked: "Are you still seasick?"
The young man patted his chest: "It's ready. Our team just said that we should learn from these masters at sea. In the future, we in Daqingshan will also have our own large ships and our own navy..."
Song Wen nodded: "Well, that's right! When we have a fleet in the future, you have to strive to be a captain!"
"What's a captain?"
"It's the boss of the ship..."
"oh……"
The old Bohai pirate who was behind the wheel laughed and cursed: "The boss of the ship who was vomiting gall the day before yesterday, go and loosen the left sail rope four times quickly... Don't fall into the sea and drown!"
Hahaha...hahaha... everyone burst into laughter, and the half-grown boy turned red with embarrassment and hurried to help the master with his work.
Song Wen called the leader of the Bohai pirates to come over... "Are these little guys still obedient?"
"Go back to my uncle... uh... go back to Mr. Song! Be obedient, they are all very smart and good children."
"We are all landlubbers, so you have to worry about teaching them. Thank you for your hard work..."
"It's okay, it's okay, we're all family members..."
Song Wen nodded: "I have decided that the Bohai brothers who will lead apprentices in the future, no matter what their status is, Qingshan Camp will pay two taels of silver for tea and wine every month... It can be regarded as a little hard work for the brothers!"
This leader is also a wise man. When he saw all his brothers smiling happily, he handed over his hands and thanked them: "Thank you, Sir, for your consideration. Don't worry, Sir! We will teach these landlubbers to become old water monkeys... Hahahaha!"
"That's good!"
Several Jiangnan maritime merchant cargo ships gradually moved away, and a few others slowly sailed into the estuary pier. Song Wen knew that... after entering the land and walking for two days, he could reach Yangzhou! He didn't know whether Wang Zhiwei's news was accurate. Exactly... An Daoquan, please don't disappear again.
