Chapter 247: What are the rivers and lakes?
Zhang Xiaowu was not very satisfied with his results, and after getting off the horse, he saw Wu Song on the side, and said with a smile: "Wu joined the army, I thought you would be too late." ”
Wu Song said: "Don't dare to slack off. ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Well, did you join the army and eat morning food?" ”
"I've eaten it."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled: "Okay, then give you three tasks to complete at the same time." ”
When Wu Song heard the task, his eyes lit up, and he straightened up and said, "Don't dare to slack off." ”
But the little maid on the side interjected with a hot towel and said: "Don't forget, Lord of the City, the doctor said that if you don't eat your morning food on time, you will get sick, and if you get sick, this adult can't afford it." ”
Wu Song smiled: "Whose little girl is this, she has sharp teeth." ”
Mang Chong said: "I'm not from anyone's family, adults are willing to see the city lord sick, just watch." ”
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Wu Song laughed, and Zhang Xiaowu said: "Otherwise, how about you eat a little with me?" ”
Wu Song pointed to Mangzhong and said, "If I don't eat a little with you, I'm afraid that this sharp-toothed little girl will choke me with words again." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "This little girl chokes me with words when she has nothing to do, I'm used to it." ”
Under the supervision of Mangzhong, the two had breakfast together, and the guards made the adults' morning food very simple, a bowl of broth, three dough cakes, and a pot of warm wine to warm the stomach. Wu Song adheres to the principle that a gentleman eats and does not sleep and does not speak, but Zhang Xiaowu has no scruples, while eating, he said: "Now Mr. Wu has three things that need to be done urgently, the first thing is to recruit the clerk of the garrison office, and the civil service system must be built by you; The second thing is that you need to reorganize the roster of the defenders of Mucheng and establish a roster of active defenders and a roster of reserve defenders; The last thing is that you have to count all the materials in Mucheng with Wen Ruyu and prepare for the war. These three things are all related to the death of our Mucheng soldiers, and I ask Mr. to act one by one. Yesterday I said that my husband will be busy when he is healthy, and any of these three things are enough to give people a headache, but I only have my husband to rely on now. ”
Wu Song was excited: "Don't dare to slack off." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "In addition, Hu Sanwan is responsible for finding out the news, if you need information, you can ask him directly." ”
"Whoa."
"By the way, when you were in Daizhou, what beggar helped save you, yes or no?"
Wu Song said: "Yes, the beggar gang of Qi County in Daizhou saved my life, and the helmsman of the beggar gang in Qi County, known as the nine-fingered righteous beggar in the rivers and lakes, is a reckless hero." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said curiously: "Should he be called Hong Qigong?" ”
Wu Song introduced: "His name is not Hong Qigong, his real name is Wang Xiaojian, and he is in his thirties. Wang Xiaojian was one of the big catchers in Youzhou Mansion before, but because he killed his eldest brother who obstructed the case when he solved the case, he was expelled from the family by the Wang family, and he has since fallen to the end of the world. This person is good at fighting unevenly, being anxious and righteous, and he came out as a beggar when he was in the capital of the state, and joined the beggar gang after being photographed by the beggar gang, and later became the helmsman of the beggar gang in Qi County. ”
Zhang Xiaowu had some curiosity about the rivers and lakes of this world, and asked with a smile: "You read the most, do you know the world of rivers and lakes in the Central Plains?" ”
Wu Song put down the dishes and chopsticks, he ate too much in the morning, and now he really can't eat, but he took a sip of wine and said slowly: "I also know a little about the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains, but speaking of which, the rise of the rivers and lakes has a lot to do with the royal struggle in the Holy Han Court. ”
Zhang Xiaowu had just learned some things about the royal family from the mouth of the abolished prince, and now that the rivers and lakes involved the royal family, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Wu, why do you say this?" ”
"The crown prince of the Xuanyuan royal family of the Holy Han has always been virtuous and not long-standing, which has caused the brothers of the Xuanyuan royal family to compete with each other, and its cruelty is not that of outsiders." Wu Song shook his head as he spoke, and even the mangzhong on the side was interested, stretched his neck and ears, Zhang Xiaowu grabbed her ear, and Mangzhong hurriedly shouted: "Pain, pain, city lord, people are dying of pain." ”
"Come and I'll listen." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile, Mang Chong hurriedly ran to the side and moved a small stool to sit down, holding his chin with both hands and listening carefully.
Seeing her appearance, Wu Song smiled dumbly, and said that this little guy was very favored, so he introduced himself: "With Emperor Taiqian and the current Emperor Dade as particles, the first Emperor Taiqian successfully ascended the throne on the occasion of the epidemic in Longdu City, and now Emperor Dade also took advantage of the defeat of the crown prince and Emperor Taiqian's serious illness to ascend the throne as the emperor, which they themselves obtained through life and death struggle. Therefore, the Shenghan Empire has been more than 300 years old, and every emperor has been a dragon and phoenix among people, and his heart is tenacious. Therefore, if each generation of royal children wants to stand out and become the crown prince, they naturally have to go through many battles, and he must be better, cruel, and intelligent than other brothers.
In addition to currying favor in front of the emperor, the princes also need to make achievements and even destroy the merits of others. So they need some people to engage in some unsightly actions, these people often form a gang to hide their identity, so the gang often relies on clinging to the royal family and rises rapidly, and gangs and gangs will also fight and fight because of the different royal families, and even destroy the tragedy.
There are many stories and legends in the rivers and lakes, and everyone thinks that they are simple people in the rivers and lakes, but they did not expect that behind every gang, there is or has been the support of the imperial court. If you don't get the support of the imperial court and set up a gang privately, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you will be recruited by the imperial court. Of course, there are some gangs that are reluctant to be recruited, such as the Tianhuo Cult decades ago, who simply refused to cooperate with the government. As a result, the Heavenly Fire Sect became an evil demon, and was turned into a demon sect by the government, so it was hunted down and killed by the righteous path of the world. ”
Mang Chong exclaimed: "Wow, it turns out that the Demon Sect came here like this, they just don't listen to the government?" ”
Wu Song said: "This Tianhuo Sect is not only disobedient, they also assassinated the emperor, you say that it is strange that they are not hunted down and killed by the whole world, who can blame them for their death to this point?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Could it be that all gangs have royal backgrounds?" "One of the demon sects he knows is the Tianhuo Sect, and this Tianhuo Sect is still constantly rebelling in the Jiangnan region, the Tianhuo Sect has always been dissatisfied with the rule of the imperial court and frequently rebelled, they are pursuing the harmony of the world, and there is no distinction between royal civilians and civilians. This doctrine is to eliminate the royal family, and the country is ruled by the people, but Zhang Xiaowu knows that this Heavenly Fire Sect is simply fantastical, and the country has no distinction between commoners and nobles, which is the socialism of this world.
Zhang Xiaowu understands better than the Tianhuo Sect what the future of an era is, and the Tianhuo Sect does not understand how the era in which he lives is incompatible with his own thoughts, so the Tianhuo Sect is destined to be suppressed, attacked, and excluded in this feudal era.
In addition to the Demon Sect of the Heavenly Fire Sect, there are also some small sects and small sects of Demon Sects in the Central Plains, so even if the people of the rivers and lakes collectively refer to them as the Demon Sect, they are not a sect, they have no cohesion at all, and they are destined to be swept away by the imperial court and the righteous path of the rivers and lakes.
