Chapter 132: The Fall of Kutian Gang

"All of them! Turn left! Jiang De said with the order flag in his hand.

More than a hundred Liangshan bandits turned to the left with a snort, Jiang De nodded with satisfaction, this one turned to the left, but it took him more than ten days to get all these people to do it well, which was more difficult than any other action, and even more difficult than forcing these people to sort out their internal affairs.

In this month's time, although Liangshan is closed, but there are still people who come to defect, Jiang De has to thank Kutian for the harm is too strong, at this time there are more than 200 people on Liangshan, and most of the people who go up the mountain behind are now doing some chores and did not participate in military training.

Most of the bandits in Liangshan were landless peasants and fishermen, most of whom were uneducated, and they knew about the left and right, but it was difficult to follow orders and act immediately.

In fact, not to mention these peasants, it is the educated students of later generations, in the first military training, there is no distinction between the left and right, and in the end, Jiang De can only learn from the "ancestors" to let these bandits take off their shoes with their left foot, so as to distinguish between the left and right, and slowly after seven or eight days, most people can quickly react to the difference between left and right.

But Jiang De also found a problem that he hadn't thought of before from the conversation at night, when he first heard Jiang De's order to turn left, many people first wondered which left, was it Jiang De's left or their own left?

In any case, the current Liangshan bandits are already standing and sitting, and they are all tigers and tigers when they walk, and everyone has a loud voice when they speak, and they have the demeanor of later generations of soldiers.

"Good! You have trained very well this month, especially what surprised me is that whether it is an emergency assembly in the middle of the night, or a weight-bearing cross-country, no matter how hard you work, you have gritted your teeth and persevered, of course, this is also because this month is just a simple basic training, although these trainings will be reduced in the future, but they will also become your daily training subjects. Jiang De stood on the high platform and said to the people below.

"Today, it's a month of training for you, look at your teammates around you, you've laughed and cried together, I hope you can support and help each other like this month in the days to come, now, I give you some gifts!"

Jiang De clapped his hands as he spoke, and several ox carts came over carrying supplies.

"Since you have risked killing your head to enter my Liangshan, then my Liangshan will treat you as brothers, these are the military uniforms of our Liangshan Army in the future, these clothes not only represent the identity of your Liangshan Army, but also represent that you have passed the test of basic training! Zhu Gui, give military uniforms to all brothers! As soon as Jiang De waved his hand, Zhu Gui took the black-clothed warrior to open the boxes one by one, and countless clothes, shoes and hats were neatly placed inside.

Jiang De said: "All my Liangshan soldiers, enjoy two sets of summer clothes!" Two sets of spring and autumn clothes! Two sets of winter clothes! Five pairs of cloth shoes! A pair of leather shoes! A battle robe! Two octagonal hats! Two felt hats! A helmet! A set of leather armor! A set of handguards! Three sets of underwear! A set of quilts! ”

Everyone held their breath, this almost changed them from the inside out, is this still a bandit and a bandit? Jiang De looked at everyone and nodded dissatisfied, you must know that many of these materials were exchanged by him with points, such as octagonal hats, quilts, etc., which are not available in this era.

Jiang De continued: "Everyone! You must always remember where you came from, you are from the people, from poor families, and all of us in the Liangshan Army should be men who stand up to the sky! Therefore, you must not do anything that forgets your roots, here, military discipline is promulgated by the military division! ”

Xu Guanzhong stepped forward, opened a roll of silk cloth and said, "Liangshan Military Order, Order No. 1!" ”

Everyone held their breath, in the past month, they have understood what a military order is, so they are afraid that they will miss something and cause a big mistake.

Xu Guanzhong continued to read: "The first article of the three major military disciplines, all actions are subject to command!"

Second, don't take a penny from the people!

Article 3: All seizures must be returned to the public.

Eight points of attention: first, speak kindly; Article 2, fair trading; Article 3, borrowing and repaying; Fourth, the damage must be compensated; Fifth, do not beat or scold people; Sixth, do not damage the crops; Article 7, not to molest women; Article 8: No mistreatment of prisoners.

Those who violate the above military orders will be divided into three punishment methods: confinement, cane punishment, and beheading according to the three levels of light, serious, and serious circumstances, and at the same time consider demotion or expulsion from the cottage! ”

After Xu Guanzhong finished speaking, he walked aside, Jiang De stepped forward and said to the people below, "You have also heard, the three disciplines and eight items just mentioned are the simplest and basic military disciplines, of course, there must be rewards if there are punishments, as long as you fight bravely and train weekdays, you will naturally have rewards." ”

Chen Guang, who was beside Jiang De, said to Xu Guanzhong incomprehensibly, "Mr. Xu, why is our military discipline so simple, I heard that the military discipline of the Song Army is extremely complex and rigorous, is this too simple?" And the wording... It's really funny and generous! ”

Xu Guanzhong said to Chen Guang solemnly, "Sect Leader Chen, this is wrong, this is the master's cleverness, who are the people down here?" Grass Kou also! If dozens or hundreds of military laws were promulgated as soon as they came, they might remember? Since ancient times, military law has always used elegant language, and the sole lord uses the vernacular, because the lord understands who our army is. They are just ordinary people, and how many of them can understand the words of those who can understand them? How many people can understand? If a soldier can't understand military discipline, what difference does it make between having it and not having it? ”

This is actually a truth that Jiang De understood after listening to a few uncles chatting in later generations, why the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Red Army in later generations can be so strong, and the military discipline can be so good, one of the extremely important reasons is that almost all the soldiers of the Chinese Red Army can clearly say what their military discipline is, and understand what these mean. Because the military discipline of the Chinese Red Army is in the vernacular, while the military discipline of the White Army is semi-literary, many soldiers of the White Army do not understand what can and cannot be done in the end.

Jiang De issued a military order, telling everyone to go back and put away the distributed clothes and armor, and he and several leaders gathered together to talk.

Several leaders have also been convinced by Jiang De these days, they never thought that they could really turn these bandits and bandits into the same as elite soldiers, in their hearts, such troops can already attack the city.

Jiang De said to everyone, "Everyone, a month has passed, just like I said, we in Liangshan want to be heroes, chivalrous people, not bandits and bandits!" Recently, something big happened to happen, come, time shift, let me tell you. ”

Shi Qian walked out from behind Jiang De and said to everyone, "Leaders, just ten days ago, not far from this Liangshan, there was a big case!"

As you know, Yuncheng Prefecture Kutian confiscated the floating wealth of an unknown number of people, and it is said that in the end there was 200,000 yuan, and the envoy sent was worried that something would go wrong, so he specially sent more people to transport it to Tokyo.

On September 23, the money was transported to the outside of Hecai Town, and was suddenly snatched away by a group of people who were enchanted with wine, and ten days have passed since then, and there is still no trace. ”

Song Wanqi said, "Where did this person come from, he is so bold, such a big case, I'm afraid it will be investigated to the end, and it will never stop." ”

Shi Qian nodded and said, "Brother Song Wan is right, it is said that the whole of Shandong is in chaos, and this gang of thieves is being investigated everywhere, according to the small inquiry, this gang must be Chao Gai and his gang in Dongxi Village!" ”

"What? Brother Chao Gai? Is that the Tota Heavenly King? Ruan Xiaowu asked in surprise.

Zhu Gui said to Jiang De, "The owner of the village, that Chao Gai is a famous man in Shandong, if he did it, he would have said it in the past." ”

Ruan Xiaoqi asked Shi Qian, "You say this, do you have evidence, you must know that this is a big crime to break the sky." ”

Shi Qian arched his hand and said, "Naturally, there is evidence, we found that Chao Gai did not appear in Dongxi Village on the day of the crime, and only showed up the next day." In addition, there is an idler, called Bai Sheng, who is just a gambling bankrupt, but these days he has been arrogant, and he must have gotten a windfall, and this person has been favored by Chao Gai many times, so it is not difficult to guess when you think about it. ”

"What a good means, Kutian is not to check the hidden field, but to collect money, such ill-gotten gains, it can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven! It's in line with the chivalry of the village owner! Du Qian said with some admiration.

Jiang De said to everyone, "What I'm worried about is that since we can guess, I'm afraid the government will know about it in a short time, Chao Gai is here to get money for the people, and secondly, he is also my old friend, I want to rescue him, and the generals will obey the order!" ”

"Huh!" Everyone stood up and looked at Jiang De.

Jiang De nodded and said, "Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, prepare the ship sailors, if the government arrests Chao Gai, someone will persuade him to join my Liangshan, and then those money, people and horses need to go up the mountain quickly, you must be fully prepared!" In addition, if there are officers and soldiers chasing and killing, be sure to lure them to the reeds! ”

"Yes!"

"Zhu Gui!"

"In!"

"You have more food in the hotel outside the water, Chao Gai and the others must be tired for the evasive pursuers, and you can also let them eat some hot things when the ship is loaded."

"Yes!"

"Du Qian, Song Wan!"

"In!"

"When the officers and soldiers chase after them, they will not give up, he will see that we have few soldiers, and they will inevitably enter the lake to pursue, and you two will each bring a team of men and horses, ambush outside, once the officers and soldiers pursue into the lake, immediately attack and sweep away the rear army."

"Yes!"

"Cheng Min, Chen Jiaotou!"

"In!"

"The two of you will each bring a team of men and horses, prepare more reeds, firewood and grass and other things that cause fire, and when the Ruan brothers lead the officers and soldiers to the reeds, they will attack them with fire, and they will definitely be broken!"

"Yes!"

Jiang De looked at Xu Guanzhong again and asked, "Is there any addition to the military advisor?" ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "The lord knows the art of war very well, but this arrangement is excellent. ”

Jiang De snorted and said, "Then please trouble the military advisor to go to Yuncheng County with me to inquire about the news." ”

β€”β€”Yuncheng County

A Taoist priest was holding a demon-slaying pestle, followed by a Taoist boy, who was Xu Guanzhong and Jiang De.

The two sat in the restaurant to eat, listening carefully to the conversations around them from time to time, and found that almost everyone was talking about the case of the robbery of Kutian Gang, Jiang De secretly said in his heart, this scene seems to be even more powerful than in the original book.

"You're a fortune teller? Would you like to count me as a hexagram? A voice came from behind, and when the two of them looked at it, it was Wu Yong in a robe.

Jiang De nodded slightly, and Xu Guanzhong said, "Sir, please take a seat, I don't know what you want to test?" ”

Wu Yong said with a smile, "But I want to test the future, I recently wanted to go out of the country, but I don't know when to go out." ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at Wu Yong's face and said, "Mr. This trip is going to go very far, it is better to go sooner rather than later, I see that Mr. is full of red light, it can be seen that he has been prepared, and it is better to leave as soon as possible." ”

Wu Yong nodded and said, "I see, I've been taught!" With that, he dropped some copper coins and left.

Xu Guanzhong whispered to Jiang De, "Lord, it seems that it has been these days." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant opposite the county government to stay, and let's stare at it every day for the next few days." ”

- The next day, the Jeju Governor's Office

Fu Yin Mao Yang walked around the courtyard, and outsiders knew that he was in an extremely irritable mood at this time, Mao Yang sighed, walked back into the house, and drank a few sips of water. But it couldn't extinguish his anxiety.

"Damn, these goddamn thieves, where are you going to do the crime? It's in my Jeju Mansion! That and Cai Zhen have both arrived at the edge of my Jeju Mansion, and when these people are caught, they must be killed! Mao Yang muttered.

"What? Did Lord Mao catch the thief? The voice of a male duck came, Mao Yang couldn't help but secretly complain, looked up, an internal official walked over, Mao Yang hurriedly got up and said, "Lord Yang, please forgive this matter for a few more days, there is really no clue." ”

The internal official snorted and said, "This money is what Lord Yang Jian and Lord Yang want to give to the official family to repair the courtyard, in order to use less money from the treasury and reduce the amount of money for the people, which is good, it's all gone!" Let me tell you, if there is no news about this business within three days, I will have to bother my lord to go to Salmon Island! ”

Mao Yang even claimed to thank him, and when the internal official left, Mao Yang yelled to the outside, "Quick! Go and call He Tao for me! ”

Not long after, He Tao came over with a bitter face, Mao Yang pointed at him and scolded, "I see that the missing words on your face should also be filled!" In the last two days, if there is no news, let's go and say goodbye to home! ”

It turned out that Mao Yang had just received this case, and he knew that this was an extremely difficult case, so in order to make his subordinates attentive, he stabbed He Tao's face with a "overlapping match...... The word "state", with the name of the state empty, said to He Tao, if it is caught, it will be washed away, and if it cannot be caught, it will be filled in the missing words.

He Tao was beaten and scolded, complained in his heart, returned home, sighed, and suddenly heard a commotion outside the house, He Tao got up and looked, and saw his wife with his younger brother coming over noisily, as soon as his wife saw He Tao, she shouted, "Official!" This man who has suffered a thousand knives knows where the gang of thieves is, but he is willing to sue you only if he asks for money, and he is still not convinced by me when I say him! ”
