Liangshan Bo in this era was completely different from Liang Shan Bo in later generations. In later generations, Liang Shan Bo was just a puddle, but now, Liang Shan Bo is the largest lake in the Song Dynasty.
The largest lake in the Song Dynasty was actually formed by the breach of the Yellow River. From the Five Dynasties to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the mighty Yellow River breached three times, and the rolling water flowed into Shandong, forming an endless lake. This is Liangshanbo.
"The harbor has thousands of branches criss-crossing it and is eight hundred miles in all directions." It spans several states and occupies almost half of the area of Shandong Province.
There are many islands in the water, including more than a dozen large islands. The combined area of these dozen large islands is equivalent to the size of Hainan Island.
The misty waves are vast, and the boats are constantly moving forward among the reeds. You can see countless big fish in the lake, and the aquatic products are also very rich.
Lin Chong next to him couldn't help but praise: "It's such a good place."
Lin Chong nodded and said: "It is indeed a good place."
He thought to himself that it was no wonder that so many heroes came to this place. It was really because the terrain here was so good. If they encountered the officers and soldiers, they would just hide in the reeds and the officers and soldiers would not dare to pursue them. In addition, the island is huge and the
It is formed by the sediment of the Yellow River, and crops can be grown here. As long as the population is sufficient, it can be self-sufficient. Even if the officers and soldiers block the island, the heroes can still live safely.
This place is not under the control of the emperor, there are no corrupt officials, there is no oppression by power, and there is freedom. All heroes will naturally run to this place.
Wu Dong and Lin Chong stood at the bow of the ship, followed by Zhu Gui and Cao Zheng, followed by a group of Zhu Gui's close confidants, who would also participate in the battle this time.
After looking at the scenery, Wu Dong said: "Brother Zhu, I wonder how many soldiers and horses there are in Liangshanbo now?"
Zhu Guidao: "Originally there were only three to five hundred soldiers and horses in Liangshanbo. However, there has been a severe drought in Shandong in the past two years. Many people could not survive, so they all came to Liangshanbo. Now there are 2,000 soldiers and horses."
Zhu Gui was only talking about the number of minions. In addition to the minions, there are countless old people, women, and children. The number of these old people, women, and children is also thousands. The entire population of Liangshanbo is close to 10,000.
People.
However, for a place as large as Liangshanbo, 10,000 people are still too few and too few to be worth mentioning. The land area is equivalent to Hainan Island, and it is almost all plains. Let alone 10,000 people, even if it is 100,000
One million people are more than enough to live here.
In later generations, the population of Hainan Island was close to ten million. Agriculture in this era was not as developed as in later generations, but Liangshanbo could still support one million people without any problems.
Wu Dong became more and more excited and felt more and more that the decision to go to Liangshan was correct. Liangshan was enough to become his foundation. It could be used both offensively and defensively to develop vigorously. He would definitely be able to prosper here.
****
The ship traveled for three full days and finally arrived at the central island. Wang Lun, Du Qian, Song Wan and others were on this island, and most of Liang Shanbo's troops were also stationed on this island.
Zhu Gui is the leader of the four leaders. If he takes a few people to Liangshan, no one will stop him.
When he arrived at the hall, Zhu Gui said: "Go and inform the big boss that I have something important to report."
Immediately some soldiers went to invite Wang Lun to come over. After a while, Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan came over together.
After Wang Lun came to the hall, he immediately saw Wu Dong, Lin Chong, and Cao Zheng behind Zhu Gui. He frowned and said, "Zhu Gui, who are they?"
Zhu Guidao: "I was about to report to the chief. In order to resist the officers and soldiers, I invited three heroes from outside. These are the three."
Wang Lun was unhappy and asked, "What are their names?"
Zhu Guidao said: "This one is the number one hero in Shandong, Shi Yuwu Dalang, this one is the chief instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army, the leopard leader Lin Chong, and this one is the swordsman Ghost Cao Zhengcao warrior."
Zhu Gui revealed the identities of the three of them. Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan were all shocked, mainly because they were shocked by the identities of Wu Dong and Lin Chong. Wu Dong and Lin Chong were too high-status and famous, and they were not capable of doing so.
On a par with each other, the three of them never dreamed that Zhu Gui would invite two such great gods.
A smile appeared on Wang Lun's face, but this smile was uglier than crying, and he said: "It turns out that it's Timely Rain Wu Dalang, the leopard head Lin Chong, and the swordsman Gui Caozheng. I have admired him for a long time. Thank you three for your help... But, now I
Everything is fine in Liangshanbo, there is no need for the three of you to come, so please come back."
Zhu Gui had endured Wang Lun for a long time. At this moment, he snorted coldly and said: "Big leader, you are telling lies with your eyes open. A month ago, officers and soldiers encircled Liangshanbo. Hundreds of our brothers died. If it weren't for Shuibo,
It is huge and there are many reeds. Everyone can hide in the reeds. I am afraid that the entire Liangshan Mountain will be overthrown by the officers and soldiers. We need heroes from all walks of life to come to help now, and you actually said that they don’t need to come. What’s the truth?”
Wang Lun frowned and said: "Zhu Gui, I'm talking to them, but you have no role to speak. Shut up!"
Zhu Gui laughed and said: "Wang Lun, who do you think you are? You're just a failed scholar. You can't do anything in literature or martial arts. In the past, I always tolerated you because you were promoted to Liangshan by Chai Daguan.
.But today, in time, heroes like Leopard Tou came to Liangshanbo, and you are still jealous of the talented and want to drive them away. This time, I, Zhu Gui, will not agree."
Wang Lun didn't realize that the danger was coming, and said coldly: "Then what do you want?"
Zhu Gui sneered: "What? Of course I will kill you!"
At that moment, Zhu Gui suddenly pulled out his knife and struck Wang Lun on the head. Wang Lun was startled and hurriedly backed away.
Du Qian and Song Wan saw that the situation was not right and were about to step forward to help Wang Lun. At this moment, Wu Dong and Lin were impulsive. Wu Dong and Lin Chong came to the two of them, pretending to break up the fight, and held them up.
, Wu Dong said: "There is a conflict between Leader Zhu and the big leader. We don't want to get involved."
Wu Dong and Lin Chong were so powerful in martial arts that they were both powerful. Du Qian and Song Wan were just minor figures in the Water Margin. Although they were anxious at the moment, they couldn't separate them at all.
Several of Wang Lun's confidants were outside, but now they realized something was wrong and rushed over. However, several of Zhu Gui's confidants were also outside. At this moment, Zhu Gui's confidants blocked Wang Lun's confidants.
Zhu Gui kept waving his sword around. How could Wang Lun be his opponent? One was called Han Di Hu Lv, which refers to a crocodile, and the other was a failed scholar. Although he was not incapable of restraining a chicken, he still was.
A scholar didn't have much strength at all. A moment later, there was a muffled "pop" sound, and Zhu Gui's knife was inserted into Wang Lun's heart.
Wang Lun's body slowly softened, he closed his eyes unwillingly, and died under Zhu Gui's knife.
Seeing that Wang Lun was dead, Wu Dong and Lin Chong let go of Du Qian and Song Wan.
Du Qian and Song Wan were dumbfounded at this time. The big leader was actually killed by Zhu Gui. They didn't know what to do.
In the past, Wang Lun was jealous of talents and excluded Zhu Gui. The two of them also followed Wang Lun and excluded Zhu Gui. Now that Zhu Gui was showing his power, both of them were filled with fear and their bodies were trembling, fearing that Zhu Gui would also settle the score with them.
"You two don't have to be afraid. I'm only going to kill Wang Lun today, it's none of your business," Zhu Gui said.
Du Qian and Song Wan hesitated for a while, then Du Qian suddenly said: "Brother Zhu Gui, your martial arts skills are far superior to Wang Lun's, why don't you become the leader?"
Song Wan also immediately said: "Yes, yes, if you become the big leader, we will be convinced."
Both of them were able to adapt to the changing circumstances. In order to save their lives, they immediately complimented Zhu Gui.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gui shook his head and said: "How can Zhu be so virtuous and capable as to occupy the position of such a big leader? Now there is the best hero in Shandong, Shi Yuwu Dalang is here, and the leopard-headed Lin Chong is here, so why not just
I ask Wu Dalang to be our chief leader in Liangshan and Lin Chong to be our second leader in Liangshan. What do you think?"
Du Qian and Song Wan had no choice but to agree. They knew that they were no match for Zhu Gui, Wu Dong, Lin Chong and others.
Just like that, Wu Dong sat in the position of the big leader.
****
When Wu Dong became the big leader, the first thing he did was to sort out the order. He immediately said: "Since it was recommended by everyone, I will not be humble enough to be the big leader. My elder brother Lin Chong is very skilled in martial arts, so naturally he will not be the second leader."
Any questions. Brother Zhu is very skilled in martial arts and good at gathering information, so he can be the third leader. Cao Zheng is also good in martial arts, and he is smart, so he can be the fourth leader. As for the two leaders Du Qian and Song Wan, you will submit to the fifth leader and the sixth leader.
location."
After the order was determined, no one had any problems. Of course, Du Qian and Song Wan were definitely not convinced, but Wu Dong was too lazy to pay attention to them. These two people had neither martial arts nor intelligence to give them the position of leader.
That's pretty good.
Then there is the division of labor. When Wang Lun was here, except for Zhu Gui's initiative to inquire about information, Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan actually did not have much division of labor. They were not good at anything, but they were in charge of everything. This made Liang Shanbo's
The efficiency was extremely low and it was defeated at the hands of the officers and soldiers.
Wu Dong wanted people to make the best use of them and let each leader do the work he was good at.
Immediately, he said: "I am the big leader. I naturally take charge of the overall situation and also handle the civil work on the island."
Then came Lin Chong, saying: "Brother, you are highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in the art of war. From now on, all the troops and horses in Liangshanbo will be under your command."
Next came Zhu Gui, who said: "Brother Zhu, you are still responsible for intelligence work and inquiring about information from everywhere. But the scope of your inquiry should be larger. The entire Shandong Province has to be inquired to understand the information from everywhere."
When he saw Cao Zheng, Wu Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Cao Zheng, leave Liangshanbo immediately."
Cao Zheng was taken aback and said, "Uncle Master, why is this?"
Wu Dong said: "Don't reveal what has happened to Liangshan yet. I will give you funds. You can open hotels all over the country and use the hotels to find out information. It will be another intelligence channel."
Hotels are a good place to find out information. Let Cao Zheng open hotels everywhere before his identity is revealed. In the future, his role may even exceed that of Zhu Gui.
Cao Zheng understood what Wu Dong meant and said: "I understand. I will leave Liangshanbo today and be responsible for building hotels everywhere."
Finally, it was Du Qian, Song Wan, and Wu Dong who frowned and said, "You two, please handle civil affairs with me now. I have something to tell you."
