Chapter 282 Crossing the River and Mount Tai Overwhelming the Land Snake
Song Jiang did not think that the imperial conquest was a risk, but rather a good opportunity to be recruited.
As long as the offensive of the officers and soldiers can be thwarted, the imperial court, which has never been willing to waste food and salary, will definitely propose recruitment.
He had been in a government office before and knew the ropes in this area very well.
Song Jiang had absolute confidence in defending Liangshan.
After all, Liangshan Park, eight hundred miles away, is not a place where officers and soldiers can run wild.
As long as the navy controlled by the three Ruan brothers can be controlled, the officers and soldiers can only feel helpless.
Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers eat horse chews all day long without fighting. How can the princes in the court endure it?
The only shortcomings of this tactic were the lack of food during the siege on Liangshan Mountain and the most feared internal strife.
Therefore, Song Jiang was determined to attack Zhujiazhuang again before the main force of officers and soldiers arrived.
On the one hand, I hope that the village will be very wealthy, with plenty of food and grass, and countless supplies of all kinds, such as salt, oil, cloth, and silk.
But once it is revealed, someone will definitely be unlucky.
"Xiaomin Hucheng~~"
Song Jiang was also puzzled. We are in a black-and-white relationship, so what else is there to talk about?
Just when Song Jiang was about to send his troops to attack, Zhu Chaofeng, the current boss of the Zhujiazhuang across the street, sent someone over, saying that he wanted to talk to the big boss.
"No need."
Even thieves living within a hundred miles of the neighborhood had to pay taxes to their families on a regular basis.
When Song Jiang confidently led thousands of minions, detoured from Dulonggang and rushed towards Zhujiazhuang, he bypassed the hill and went to the official road and went straight to Zhujiazhuang.
Large groups of people from Zhuanglijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang came face to face.
Just like the dynamic organizations want to hide iron, the powerful people of the Song Dynasty also like to hide armor.
If you want to be the real boss and get the maximum benefits when you are recruited, you must take away the brothers under Chao Gai and Lin Chong.
Zhu Chaofeng and the others said that the three Zhuangzi combined could mobilize thousands or even tens of thousands of people. After all, this was the normal level of fighting between ancient Chinese villages.
"And you." Li Yunze pointed at Hu Cheng, and after a brief pause he said, "I wish that the thief's in-laws and minions were accomplices in his rebellion!"
It's just that he is shrewd and good at noticing details. He feels keenly that there is something going on here.
They came to seek refuge with their troops and horses. Naturally, they were well-equipped and they naturally brought hundreds of pairs of armor.
Before Zhu Chaofeng could finish his words, Li Yunze waved his hand impatiently, "This general doesn't like these three melons and two dates. Besides, I have a noble army under my command, how can I associate with thieves and bandits?"
Li Yunze, who was busy with military affairs, waited for more than an hour before meeting them.
Otherwise, where did Zhujiazhuang get the thousands of villagers who guarded the courtyard, and where did the mountains of food and property come from?
As for the other two sides, Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, they are actually very similar, but it is obvious that Zhujiazhuang is the leader in this area.
On the other hand, it is to increase prestige and expand one's voice.
This has been the standard attitude of local powerful people towards the government and army since the Han Dynasty.
"Student Li Ying~~"
Li Yunze, who was wearing armor and wearing a large golden sword, was sitting behind the desk. He looked at the group of people with an expressionless face, "Why do you want to see me?"
In this case, there is no way to escape. The only option is to make a move first, withstand the impact and then seek opportunities to retreat.
But what Zhu Chaofeng and the others didn't expect was that Li Yunze responded directly, "You are the only ones with three melons and two dates, how dare you take it out?"
"Why are you here to see me?"
When Mongolia was annihilating the Jin Dynasty, another wave of tycoons emerged and became the many warlords under Kublai Khan, and they were also the real main force in destroying the Song Dynasty.
The information he received was that Zhujiazhuang's main Zhuangke nursing homes had gone to join the army. At this time, the only people left in the village were the old, weak, sick and disabled.
All you see are armored soldiers, dazzling swords and guns, hordes of bows and crossbows, banners fluttering, the camp is heavily guarded, and the murderous atmosphere is even more chilling.
But those people only raise flags when they can no longer survive. People like Zhu Chaofeng, who have a great family and a great business, will never dare to raise an army until troubled times.
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
After all, these three families are rich and well-connected, and they are willing to spend money to save lives at this time. Even if the lawsuit goes to the imperial court, there will be something to say.
But when they actually entered the military camp, they truly realized the huge difference between village fighting and a real army.
The purpose of seizing the armor and people is to obtain evidence.
These three villages are not ordinary villages, but local local snakes.
What really kills you is hiding the armor, which really means beheading you.
As long as you really rebel, you don't need to say anything and it can be solved easily.
Zhu Chaofeng was stunned, and subconsciously responded, "Captain Mingjian, we have sent thousands of treasures and military supplies. These are all benefits that the Crown Prince got in vain. We can still send thousands of people."
.”
After entering the Chinese army's tent, the three Zhuangzi speakers all saluted Li Yunze and said, "Greetings to the Taiwei~~~"
Zhu Chaofeng and others never expected that Li Yunze would let go of the benefits he got for nothing and only wanted to frame himself and others.
The Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the most rebellions in history. This kind of thing was almost commonplace in the Song Dynasty.
Song Jiang believed in his intelligence source very much, so he brought all his confidants over and decided to have a big vote.
Looking at the large crowd of people and horses in front of him, blue veins appeared on Song Jiang's forehead. There was something wrong with his intelligence source.
"I wish you the best~~"
The eight-hundred-mile Liangshan moor was too big, so Song Jiang took thousands of men and horses, took a mighty boat and took a detour to land, and then went straight to Zhujiazhuang in Dulong.
There is nothing to fear from a big bandit who just sits there and divides the spoils. There are powerful people like this everywhere.
You can’t die twice anyway!
"Good people?" Li Yunze was amused. "I am from Qinghe County. Others may not know your details, but they can't hide it from me."
They seized people's fields, set up checkpoints to collect taxes, robbed business travelers, and engaged in the business of selling private salt and ironware, etc.
After all, Song Jiang is only the nominal boss of Liangshan at this time. In fact, Liangshan is one-third of the world.
"Many of the clan members you brought here are wearing armor." Li Yunze smiled lightly, "You are really stupid to bring the evidence to me."
What's even more unfortunate is that Zhujiazhuang really has a secret cache of armor!
As the bosses on both sides led their guards to negotiate among the military formations, Song Jiang suddenly understood why these local snakes took the initiative to cooperate with him to fight against the officers and soldiers.
In the final analysis, powerful people are just dynamic organizations.
The reason is that when they went to take refuge with Wu Erlang before, they had a falling out!
Li Yunze fell out with these local snakes, of course, not because he wanted to rob Zhu Biao's fiancée, but because these families were already within Li Yunze's attack range!
Back to a few days ago, Zhu Chaofeng, Li Ying and others happily took their family members to protect the courtyard, and ran to the imperial army in Yuncheng County to visit Li Yunze, hoping to eliminate the reputation with the Taiwei.
The extremely evil Liangshan thieves.
When the Jin Dynasty invaded the south, powerful people from the north gathered in waves.
The terrain of Dulonggang is similar to that of Jingyanggang. It is a hillside with lush forests. In the three directions of this hillside, there are three villages, namely Zhujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang.
"Captain!" Zhu Chaofeng hurriedly bowed down, "We are good citizens and are only loyal to the Emperor and Song Dynasty. Where can we find the courage to rebel?"
Precisely because I had seen the powerful deterrence of the army before, my attitude when facing Li Yunze was extremely upright, and could even be called groveling.
These are all benefits for free, and you can also get help from local snakes. Almost no one from Liu Xiu to Liu Bei will refuse.
"Capture all those wearing armor." Li Yunze did not give them a chance to argue, and directly ordered, "The remaining people will go back on their own. In ten days, I will personally lead the troops to your village to conduct an inventory and inspection. No need to say more, get out.
.”
As for Li Yunze accusing them of intending to rebel, it doesn't matter anymore. After all, hiding armor is enough to kill the whole family.
The only way to lure away these heroes is to increase your prestige. Winning battles and grabbing enough money, food and supplies will naturally increase your prestige.
Faced with the inquiry, Zhu Chaofeng went out to salute and said, "We were very happy to hear that the Taiwei led an army to exterminate the bandits in Liangshan. We came here to donate food, grass and military supplies to the army, and the children of the clan also volunteered to serve for the Taiwei as a pioneer."
Let the remaining people go back to give them a chance to rebel.
It can be seen from the self-proclaimed names of the three of them that their specific identities are different.
During the Han Dynasty, this kind of power was called local tyranny.
Zhu Chaofeng calls himself a lower official, because although he is the boss of the Vigor Organization and does bad things, he still has an official status.
The owner of Lijiazhuang, Li Ying, calls himself a student. Of course, he is not a student of Li Yunze, but a member of a local wealthy family, and he also has a diploma from three houses in the prefecture and county.
Don't worry about making weapons privately. No one has a knife or a gun these days.
It is not difficult for powerful people in these places to obtain these identities.
Even Hu Cheng was wearing armor at this time!
Li Yunze refused to cause trouble, so he simply gave them a chance to rebel.
The three people who said this were shocked and turned pale. Li Ying hurriedly saluted and said, "Why did the Lieutenant say this? We are all good citizens."
For example, the Zhujia in Zhujiazhuang is actually a family-style dynamic organization similar to the mafia.
It is precisely because of his official status that he can become bigger and stronger.
Li Yunze's consistent attitude towards these powerful people in the fish and meat village is to directly destroy them.
As long as this kind of thing is not caught, people usually turn a blind eye to it.
In troubled times, if you have money, food, people, and connections, you can raise troops and banners in minutes and become a force.
Without waiting for the frightened Zhu Chaofeng to react, Li Yunze pointed at Li Ying, "You are willing to help Zhujiazhuang's minions, provide them with manpower, food, military supplies, and join forces to rebel!"
Everyone knows the truth, but it's a pity that it doesn't work.
It doesn't matter if there is a large stockpile of food and grass at home. Of course, the landlord's family has a surplus of food.
The last one, Hu Cheng, really has nothing. He must have just taken over, and he hasn't had time to get himself some washing powder or something.
But don't underestimate the powerful power of these places. They may seem inconspicuous, but they have great energy.
"You." Li Yunze pointed at Zhu Chaofeng, "the big bandit who sits on the ground in Dulonggang and divides the stolen goods. He has more than a thousand minions and thousands of young men under his command. Not only does his family accumulate food and grass, he secretly builds weapons and armor, and he also colludes with internal and external forces to rebel!"
Sending money and goods first, and then providing manpower from the clan has been the way of survival for powerful people for thousands of years.
Hu Cheng was captured on the spot, and Zhu Chaofeng and Li Ying were carried out.
Before he was carried out, Zhu Chaofeng was still wailing and calling to Li Yunze, "Captain, Commander! My family is willing to pay 30,000 to 50,000 guan! If we pay 100,000 guan to beg the Taiwei for forgiveness~~~"
Over there, Li Ying was also shouting that he was willing to give money, and any amount he wanted could be easily discussed.
When the curtain of the Chinese army's tent was lowered again, Li Yunze lowered his head and continued to look through the various documents in his hands.
"Idiots, if I destroy you, all the property will be mine. Use my property to beg for mercy? You're crazy."
