Chapter 31 The Measure of Tolerance
β¦
When Chao Gai was still working as a baozheng in Dongxi Village, Wu Yong was a pedant with a whip, and Song Jiang was still racking his brains to get ahead, Wang Lun, who was of a similar age, had already broken out of a world in Shuibo Liangshan, and it was under the leadership of Wang Lun that the little-known Shuibo Liangshan became famous, and its strength was far above Shaohua Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain and other mountains in the same period.
Wu Yongzhi described Shuibo Liangshan at that time: "Now the cottage is prosperous, and the officials and soldiers are arresting and stealing, and they dare not look at him squarely." Wu's words were full of envy and admiration.
To borrow the words of Ruan Xiaoer, a fisherman: "These thieves and men gathered five or seven hundred people, robbed houses and houses, and robbed guests. We haven't been fishing there for more than a year, but now we've been shut down in the berth, and we've lost our food and clothing, so it's hard to say. - Ruan Xiaoer's words were full of resentment and helplessness towards Shuibo Liangshan at that time!
From the words of Wu Yong and Ruan Xiaoer alone, it is not difficult to hear that Wang Lun is better than the vast majority of village owners.
It is by no means an easy task to turn an obscure mountain into a world-famous mountain in a short period of time, and it cannot be done without extraordinary insight and excellent leadership.
Moreover, at that time, the only subordinates that Wang Lun could rely on were Du Qian and Song Wan, the two leaders who had been proven to be inactiveβat that time, Zhu Gui was just a small leader who had just gone up the mountain.
Therefore, Wang Lun's ability can be seen to be extraordinary.
In addition, Wang Lun may have made a correct judgment on the political situation of the society at that time.
Wang Lun, who was born as a scholar, probably recognized the social situation at that time more clearly than Song Jiang, who was old and rough and blinded by power, and correctly judged the location and future development direction of Shuibo Liangshan.
Generally speaking, there are only two ways out for an rebel group in the end - either they are eliminated or they are recruited.
If the government wants to concentrate its efforts to exterminate a mountain, it will not be able to resist it if it is as strong as Fang La, let alone Liangshan, which was weak at that time?
As for the road of Zhao'an, the tragic fate of Song Jiang and others is the best proof.
I don't want to be exterminated, and I don't want to be recruited, so is there a third way to go?
Wang Lun may have noticed that the Northern Song Dynasty, which was in danger of internal and external troubles at that time, could not wipe out all the mountains that were full of cow's hair, and they would only focus on those bandits who became bigger and stronger and threatened the stability of the regime.
As for those small hills, the government does not have the energy to ask them one by one.
Maintaining a certain strength cannot be easily exterminated by the official army or other hills, and does not attract a major blow from the official army, but it is most likely to drive the warship Liangshan to survive in the stormy seas.
Chao Gai has a bold personality, but there is neither Wang Lun's rules nor Song Jiang's enterprising strategy, and Shuibo Liangshan will inevitably be exterminated in his hands.
Song Jiang seems to be eloquent, but he is exchanging the lives of his brothers for his own fame and future.
Living in the troubled times of the late Northern Song Dynasty, you must either enjoy your own paradise like Wang Lun, or break the territory like Fang La, and if you succeed, you will not make meritorious achievements, and if you fail, you will not be a hero, and you must not follow Song Jiang This kind of opportunist, thinking that he is a fighter against traitors and rebels, shedding blood and sacrifices, but in the end he is a lackey of traitors and rebels.
All in all, Wang Lun is not a prince with great talents, but a great talent who keeps his success.
Having said so much, what I really want to say is that it's a pity to kill Wang Lun!
This is also what Li Yan is thinking at the moment!
For the establishment of the force of Shuibo Liangshan, Wang Lun can be said to have contributed a lot, and it can even be said that without Wang Lun, Shuibo Liangshan would never have developed so fast!
Isn't it too much to kill Wang Lun because of an idea that has not really been implemented? What would others think? Will there be a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox?
More importantly, today's Shuibo Liangshan is indispensable to Wang Lun, a management talent, if Wang Lun is killed, the development of Shuibo Liangshan will definitely slow down, and maybe it will go backwards!
The most important thing is that the facts have proved that Wang Lun can't make waves at all, and after the lesson of this bloody forest, Wang Lun may no longer dare to worry about the position of the owner of the village, especially with the continuous development of Shuibo Liangshan, Wang Lun in the future will only be one of the many leaders - a very ordinary one!
"Liu Bang wants the world to tolerate Yongya who betrayed him many times, Ji Bu who once hunted down him, Kuai Che who persuaded Han Xin to oppose Han and stand on his own feet many times, Zhou Chang who scolded him as a merchant of Xia Wei, and Guan Gao who plotted to assassinate him, can't you even tolerate an insignificant Wang Lun?"
Thinking of this, Li Yan jumped into the water!
Although he is not a frogman in the Marine Corps, as a navy, how can he not know water? Li Yan not only knows water, but also has a very good water nature, of course, it cannot be compared with Ruan Thi Sanxiong and Zhang Shun as divers.
Seeing Li Yan jump into the water, Ruan Xiaoqi was stunned at first, and then hurriedly jumped into the water as well......
β¦β¦
"Is Xiao Ke's life over like this?"
Wang Lun is unwilling! Very unwilling! Extremely unwilling!!
"Xiao Ke has already surrendered, Xiao Ke has already sung praises to you, Xiao Ke is even willing to be a loyal dog for you, why can't you give Xiao Ke a chance? Why? Why? Why? β
Despite his reluctance, Wang Lun's consciousness became more and more blurred......
Just when Wang Lun was about to say goodbye to this world completely, a person suddenly appeared in front of him - Li Yan!
At this moment, Li Yan's image was infinitely magnified in Wang Lun's eyes, and in the end he was almost equivalent to the god who ruled his fate!
After finding Wang Lun, Li Yan twisted his body a few times and came behind Wang Lun, and then lifted Wang Lun's collar and surfaced with Wang Lun.
Wang Lun, who had been reborn, devoured the air with great greed, as if this ordinary air could no longer be ordinary and delicious!
Not long after, Ruan Xiaoqi also jumped out of the water, and then quickly swam towards Li Yan and Wang Lun!
Seeing that Ruan Xiaoqi almost wanted his living Hades, Wang Lun couldn't care about breathing this peerless delicacy, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Ke is willing to be a loyal dog for his brother, and beg my brother to spare Xiao Ke this time!" β
Li Yan looked at Wang Lun's eyes and said leisurely: "Only this once, and then there will be a ...... next time."
Wang Lun swore very simply: "There will be a next time, let Xiao Ke cut thousands of knives and crush bones and ashes!" β
Li Yan said: "Okay, if there is really a next time, I will help you fulfill your vow." β
Wang Lun's heart sank!
But soon Wang Lun said calmly: "Xiao Ke will never give my brother this opportunity!" β
At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi came to Li Yan's side, and then helped Li Yan drag Wang Lun back to the boat.
As soon as he got on the boat, Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Such an unfaithful and unrighteous pig and dog should feed the fish, what can my brother do to save him!" β
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Wang Lun's face, and at the same time, Wang Lun's heart also rose!
Li Yan glared and said, "Brother Wang Lun calls my brother, he is a pig and a dog, what am I, don't you make amends to Brother Wang Lun!" β
Hearing Li Yan defend him like this, Wang Lun's heart can be regarded as completely letting go!
Ruan Xiaoqi muttered in a low voice: "Brother is so good, but he has a big belly!" β
Although he was reluctant, Ruan Xiaoqi, who did not dare to disobey Li Yan's order, reluctantly surrendered his hand and said, "Brother asked me to make amends for your sins, and I will make amends for your sin first!" Then Ruan Xiaoqi's tone changed, and he said ruthlessly: "But there is one thing, if you still dare to think crookedly, the seventh master knows you, the seventh master's knife doesn't know you, you just fled to the ends of the earth, and the seventh master must also find your house and poke a hundred holes in your house!" β
