Section 547 The situation is pressing
Zhao Yue was playful that Song Jiang went up to Qingfeng Mountain, and he really had a fate with Yanshun and Wang Ying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a saying about fate, not a kind of person who does not enter the door. Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. Yan Shun and Wang Ying are typical scum. How can Song Jiang, who can be tied with them, be a real gentleman, upright, chivalrous and hero?
A typical feudal bureaucratic philistine politician is just a politician, everything only looks at the pros and cons, useful is friends and brothers, useless, you stay there, how can you really have a firm standard of right and wrong, good and evil in your heart.
In Hua Rong's perception of Song Jiang in his heart, Song Jiang is undoubtedly a touching hero with a humble identity but who does not forget his ambitions and responsibilities, and he is an unambitious hero who is locked by the existing political system, so he is naturally surprised how a character like Song Jiang can be with the Three Evil Tigers.
I was afraid that Hua Rong would be confused, and he would not use his smart mind to analyze this matter deeply, and he took the initiative to recognize Song Jiang's true face.
Song Jiang came to Qingfeng Village but accidentally turned to Qingfeng Mountain, which is interesting.
The spies in Qingzhou City have reported that the prefect Murong Yanda has formulated a plan to destroy the three mountains that will be carried out during the summer harvest. Thunderbolt fire Qin Ming and Zhensanshan Huang Xin, the two leaders of the Qingzhou Army, have been sending generals to the army, and they will start to do it in these two days, first suppressing Taohua Mountain, then suppressing Qingfeng Village, and finally dealing with Erlong Mountain, blocking the only downhill passage of Erlong Mountain during the summer harvest with heavy troops, and striving to cut off the supply of grain and grass in Erlong Mountain in order to be trapped and besieged for a long time, with the continuous support force owned by the government and Erlong Mountain, and the Erlong Mountain, which is short of food, will be consumed, and finally starved to death all over the mountain. To achieve the goal of eradicating the bandits of Erlong Mountain without having to storm the dangerous passes that are too difficult to attack.
Regarding the government's plan, Zhao Yue and Hua Rong both praised it for being clever.
There are three bandits in Qingzhou, Erlong Mountain is the strongest, but the arrogance is the most arrogant, and the Qingzhou government hates the most is the second ranked Peach Blossom Mountain.
The four uncles and nephews of the Zhu family hated the powerful Cangzhao, but they were powerless to retaliate for a while, and they were silently accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity, and they also remembered the hatred of the government for their vendetta of destroying their family and seizing their wealth, and their favorite thing to do was to slap the face of the government and provoke the authority of the government. The three brothers of Long Hubiao liked to take robbers to rob the nearby county towns of Qingzhou, brutal and arrogant, tortured, killed and insulted officials, and the county town could not rob or have nothing to do, so they went to intimidate and humiliate the newly appointed county officials, and swept away the majesty of the officials and the government.
This expedition is the proper meaning of taking Peach Blossom Mountain first.
In addition to the civil and military officials in Qingzhou, they all gritted their teeth and wanted to get rid of the uncle and nephew of the Zhu family who were slapping their faces for too long, but the most important thing was that the government had a relatively full understanding of the thieves in Qingzhou this year and had a clear understanding.
If it is said that the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou Mansion will destroy the rule of the imperial court over Qingzhou, and make Qingzhou completely become a place where robbers can run rampant freely, the officials of Qingzhou Mansion think that this is only the common wish of the robbers of the three mountains.
In view of this, coupled with the fact that Qingzhou Wenwu had the audacity to attack Erlongshan from Qin Ming and Huang Xin to capture or eliminate Chao Gai and his gang of robbers, and failed miserably in response to Cai Jing's constant pressure, the Qingzhou army began to take a defensive position.
Qingzhou is not a border area like Cangzhou, and the main force of the officers and soldiers of the department is the box army supported by the local government (the kind that is not temporarily formed by the displaced people), and the "elite" central troops such as the forbidden army that is not supported by the state, including the army of the Beijing Daimyo Mansion that guards the southward rush.
The forbidden army is a force that protects the central government's local forces and is well paid. The Western Army is a local army, although it is strong, but the main body is also a box army.
Cangzhou, Hejian Mansion these northern army troops have the forbidden army, even the main force, this is still Zhao Gonglian when he was by the emperor's side to advocate the promotion, the reason for persuading the emperor is to train the forbidden army in batches at the border to form actual combat ability and blood, and at the same time strengthen the control of the northern army, and train the emperor to fully control the army that can balance the western army. It's just that Zhao Gonglian arrived at the place, and no one was watching the matter of training the forbidden army in the capital in turn, Gao Yu was bothered, and many officials who were also unwilling to worry about it secretly pushed back and forth, and the matter was yellow.
The forbidden army is the central army composed of young and strong men with outstanding physical conditions from all over the country and some elites selected from the whole army. The local troops in the inland state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty were poorly treated, and they were not in battle for a long time, and they were so rotten that they abounded.
At that time, the small group of elite soldiers who worked hard to maintain and train and maintain a certain combat effectiveness and morale were so unbearable that even the rabble of Erlongshan, who was small in number and extremely weak at that time, could not be defeated. Such rotten soldiers, if they do not strictly reorganize the armed forces and strengthen the army, and to fight bandits is to send weapons and equipment, which is simply to fund robbers in disguise, how can we talk about suppressing bandits?
With the rapid growth of Sanshan shortly thereafter, it was not a question of suppressing bandits for the government, but a matter of whether the city could be kept and whether the imperial court could maintain its rule over Qingzhou.
Murong prefect is afraid of death, and the same is true of the big turban and rotten military attaches below, for the sake of their own heads, the armament is becoming more and more urgent, and they have to strengthen large-scale military training, under the initiative and strict restraint of Qin Ming and Huang Xin, the relevant officials of the government and the officers of the army have to restrain their greed a little, reduce the deduction of military salaries and abuse of soldiers, and the officers who eat and drink all day have to collect their temperament to participate in the training of leading troops, and the morale of the army has been restored. However, before the Qingzhou Army formed its combat effectiveness, the Murong Prefect would never allow troops to be sent to suppress the bandits. But don't be a bandit, but the city was broken by robbers, and you have to enjoy it for many years.
Therefore, the Qingzhou Army has not sent troops for so long, and the robbers have been arrogant, and they have been raising troops to train and prepare for war, and have formulated a plan to send troops to suppress bandits.
Murong Yanda is greedy but not a useless straw bag. The leadership of Qingzhou officers is not a waste of military strategy. The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty are basically the mouths of the cannon kings cultivated by the way of Meng Kong, and they speak loudly and beautifully, and their ability is ridiculous when they work hard, but they do have soft power talents when it comes to conspiracies and tricks to rectify familiar compatriots.
The beauty of Murong Yanda's plan is that he sees it right and targets the bandits of the Three Mountains, and it is not really a moral unity.
Not only are the three mountains not a gang, but they are also three forces with conflicting interests and the main leaders do not throw their tempers against each other. The prefect of Murong saw that the purpose of the three mountains as a robber was different, and he clearly realized this.
Erlongshan is also trying to take the road of chivalry from the point of view of behavior, not only does not harm the people, but also stands up for justice for the people, and prevents the government from exploiting and collecting the people. And Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain are the real murderous and shameless bandits who bring disaster to the country and the people and only live for themselves.
Qingzhou is a large place, and the number of people who can support it is limited.
If the three mountains are integrated, unified and coordinated scheduling, the overall strength is strong and you can go to the surrounding prefectures and counties to loot, and it is not a problem to have a large number of people. Divided into three strands with different purposes and not dealing with them, the problem arises.
Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain only care about the pleasure in front of them, and the remnants of the people are not stopped, resulting in the extinction of a large number of rich households in Qingzhou, a large number of population loss, a large number of abandoned fields, and no strength to divide troops to loot, so they can only blindly increase the local burden, not only their own life is getting more and more difficult, the road is getting narrower and narrower, and even the road of thieves in Erlong Mountain is becoming more and more difficult.
Sanshan has principled and serious contradictions and conflicts in the fundamental interests on which it is based.
The powerful Erlong Mountain has not forcibly annexed or driven away the unsightly Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain, and the officials of the Murong Prefect analyzed that they were afraid that Chao Gai's self-professed morality would not only consider the so-called green forest morality and morality, but also because he was afraid that the three mountain fires and self-damage to the strength of Qingzhou Green Forest would give officers and soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of, and they themselves were in danger and provoked the shame and rejection of the world's peers, blocking the way for the world's heroes and heroes to defect to Erlong Mountain.
Chao Gai was indeed concerned about these reasons, so he couldn't bear to do anything to Ershan.
Although the three thieves of Qingfeng Mountain are known as tigers, it is said that their skills are actually average, and their subordinates are few. Erlong Mountain, where there are many bandits, will not be too difficult to clean up. But the four wishes of Peach Blossom Mountain are not so easy to deal with.
It is said that the thief wishes Wannian to have the courage of ten thousand people, and he is in his thirties, and he is both civil and military, and he is quite scheming. The three brothers of Long Hu Biao are also capable, especially Biao is the most, the most arrogant and the most capable and scheming, if they join the army, they must be fierce generals, and they will be difficult to cure when they are robbers.
Peach Blossom Mountain, minions, are also mostly the most ferocious, courageous, and capable bandits from all over the world.
Although there are many thieves in Erlong Mountain, there are many minions, and if they want to clean up Peach Blossom Mountain, they will definitely suffer heavy damage, and even damage the backbone leaders, even if they don't care about morality and don't care about the officers and soldiers, they may not dare to do it easily, but the more this is the case, the more Erlong Mountain will inevitably hate that Peach Blossom Mountain can destroy itself.
In this way, the officers and soldiers will crusade against Taohuashan first, and 8/9 out of 10 of Erlongshan will stand by and let it perish, at least wait for the officers and soldiers to fight Taohuashan and wait for the opportunity to take advantage of it. This will provide an opportunity for officers and men to quickly eradicate Taohuashan with the superiority of sophisticated equipment and sufficient training. As long as you destroy Peach Blossom Mountain fast enough. The officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits did not have to worry too much about the strong bandit attack of Erlongshan.
In addition, the four blessings of Peach Blossom Mountain not only refused to bow to Erlong Mountain, but also refused to join the gang, but also tried to annex the weakest Qingfeng Mountain, and from time to time provoked and forced the three evils of Qingfeng to surrender. When the three evils only want to be the boss who is free and happy, they will hate the four blessings deeply, and when they are surrounded and suppressed in Peach Blossom Mountain, with the ugly nature of the three ignorant and ignorant thugs, even if they understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, they will definitely refuse to help Peach Blossom Mountain. In this way, the officers and soldiers attacking Taohua Mountain had one less obstacle.
Of course, the Qingfeng bandits suddenly opened their minds and gave up their previous suspicions, and were willing to assist Peach Blossom Mountain and participate in the attack, and that bit of strength was not to be feared, maybe they just took the opportunity to eliminate on the battlefield, killed the three thieves, and did not need to bother to attack Qingfeng Cottage.
The prefect of Murong was still very confident in the force of the fierce general Qin Ming.
The two thieves of Peach Blossom Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain have been eradicated, and the officers and soldiers who go out to fight have no constraints, and the Fucheng is no longer in danger, so they can rest assured and boldly concentrate all their forces to clean up Erlong Mountain.
The Qingzhou government thinks so. And Zhao Yue knows some details of the discord between the three mountains.
For example, between Peach Blossom Mountain and Erlong Mountain.
Chao Gai is used to being in charge, coupled with ability and temperament, conceit is a good man who stands up to the sky, and when Baozheng is a common man, he refuses to bow to anyone, and when he is a robber, he is not bound by the social system and laws, and he is completely free from the shackles, and he must be the boss.
And Zhu Wannian is the same, and he has read books and has knowledge, both civil and military are more conceited, and he looks down on Chao Gai at all, plus he was born in a big family, colluded with the government, and has been domineering and arrogant for a long time with the distinctive character characteristics of the Zhu family, he can only be the boss, he has to control everything by himself, do whatever he wants, do what he wants, and do what he wants.
Zhu Sanjie is young, immature, sharp, and arrogant and domineering, and he has to be in charge of everything, Zhu Biao is a typical selfish and domineering goods that I said, and the two brothers have to let him, the three brothers are this kind of people, so even if they become a lost dog, lose the family foundation and strength support, and have no arrogant capital, they are not allowed by the king's law, and they go to Peach Blossom Mountain in a desperate situation, and the first thing they do is to kill the master Wang Lun, grab the position of the family, and be able to stoop to be the second and third and fourth in the cottage, That is the owner of the village, Zhu Wannian, is the uncle of the family, and he is strong and can crush Zhu Biao and shake the field.
Otherwise, my uncle can't do it. Unless it's your own father in charge.
In the hearts of Zhu's uncles and nephews, they habitually regard the Peach Blossom Cottage as their own territory, their own family is the master, and everyone else is a minion servant, who is the leader of the cottage, that is to give face, it is a habit of recruiting good hands as minions, it is not that if you become the leader of the cottage, you are really one of the family members of the cottage who can dictate the affairs of the cottage.
The Shake Mountain God King was on the list because he didn't know the mentality of the Zhu family so he was confused in Peach Blossom Mountain, and was ridiculed and abused by Zhu Biao, he couldn't stand this environment, and he couldn't take revenge and revenge with endless resentment, so he was angry and took people to betray Peach Blossom Mountain and take refuge in Erlong Mountain to find a way out of his evil spirit.
Chao Gai will never give way to Zhu Wannian and be his own junior brother. Peach Blossom Mountain does not have the strength to annex Erlong Mountain. If the two mountains are united, they can only be small in Peach Blossom Mountain. With the temperament of the four members of the Zhu family, Erlongshan recruited them to pay attention to the wealthy, as long as they can't be the owners of the village, they can't replace the status of Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng, and they can't have the final say in the cottage, so they can't agree. The two forces can never merge into one, they can only be the hostility of the same way. Mutual jealousy and not provoking is already the limit.
Ren Sen, the head of the deputy military division of Erlongshan, and Zhu Wannian are old acquaintances, when they were bandits in Tai'an County, they were close business partners with Zhu Wannian's family, and the two sides had a relationship, so they took him in when Zhu Wannian suddenly fell into trouble and risked the cost of the destruction of the cottage to send troops to attack the county seat, killed the county official who destroyed the Zhu family, and helped Zhu Wannian to take revenge. But afterwards, the two sides tacitly agreed to go their separate ways. Ren Sen understands that Zhu Wannian can only be the boss and the master, and knows that this kind of person can only be an alliance of interests under the condition that there is no master-slave relationship between big and small, and he will naturally part ways if there is no profit, how can he be so stupid as to find his own death and pull this person to form a brother, and go to Erlong Mountain, knowing that Zhu Wannian is in Peach Blossom Mountain, he doesn't try to persuade Zhu to join Erlongshan to mess around happily together, and he doesn't even contact him privately, as if he doesn't know him at all.
Kong Hou was the direct murderer who killed Zhu Wannian's younger brother Zhu Yongqing, and when he went to Erlong Mountain, Ren Sen recognized it, and he didn't think about killing Kong Hou to really relieve his hatred for Zhu Wannian. In Ren Sen's heart, the attack on the county seat has ended with the love and righteousness of Zhu Wannian, and from then on, they owe each other and have nothing to do with each other.
Zhao Yue knew more clearly than the Qingzhou government that the existence of the Zhu clan in Taohuashan was not enough to threaten the interests of Erlongshan, but it had become a serious obstacle to the development of Erlongshan. Officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed Taohua Mountain, and Erlong Mountain would never stretch out a finger to help. Qin Ming and Huang Xin can deal with the Peach Blossom Bandit to their heart's content.
Zhao Yue came to Qingzhou in the hope of breaking the situation and changing the situation in Qingzhou and creating a more favorable environment to accelerate the development of Erlongshan, but there was no good strategy, and the officers and soldiers were going to do it, which was great. I just don't know what variables this plague star will bring to this war of officials and bandits by slamming into Qingfeng Mountain headlong at this juncture, and swaying the will of the three evil tigers.
This has to be dealt with well, and it has to be kept an eye on. (To be continued.) )
