Chapter Twenty-Eight: Take Your Seats
…
Wang Lun, Du Qian, Song Wan, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, and Meng Kang entered the Dongshan Hotel in turn.
As soon as he saw Li Yan, Deng Fei said happily: "My brother is finally back!" Then Deng Fei said unintentionally: "Why doesn't my brother go back to Dazhai and summon me to come here?" ”
Li Yan helped Deng Fei dust off the floating soil on his body, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu Gui said that his chef here makes good fish, so I asked you to come and taste it...... Are you still used to living there? ”
Deng Fei didn't hear the loopholes in Li Yan's excuse, nor did he see the change in Wang Lun's expression after listening to Li Yan's loophole excuse, and said with a smile: "Habit, this is much better than drinking Machuan, and I don't have to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the official army, I have gained weight." ”
Li Yan said: "It may not be so comfortable in the future, I want my brother to try to lead the troops, I don't know what my brother thinks?" ”
Deng Fei said happily: "Okay, it's just ...... My martial arts are really not as good as Brother Wu Song's them. ”
Li Yan said: "I'll give you all the soldiers and horses to try first, if you are not used to being a general, you will be a deputy general, if you are not used to bringing regular soldiers, you will bring auxiliary soldiers, in short, you will be useful!" ”
If it was a calculating leader, he might have some ideas, but Deng Fei didn't, but said happily: "Eh! I listen to my brother! ”
After letting Deng Fei take a seat, Li Yan said to Meng Kang again: "Brother has worked hard. ”
Meng Kang smiled and said: "It's not hard, I'm the same as Brother Deng Fei, I'm a person who can't be idle, that is, ...... I failed my brother a little, and I only recruited about two dozen boatmen for my brother. ”
Li Yan said: "In just over a month, my brother was able to recruit more than 20 boatmen, which is enough to show that my brother has done his best, and we will slowly find a way for other boatmen." ”
Meng Kang said: "There is also the kind of treasure ship that my brother said is thirty or forty zhang long and more than ten zhang wide, and it is really difficult for the younger brother to build it, and the younger brother has carefully studied the shipbuilding codex handed down by his ancestors several times, and it is really impossible to make such a big ship, and it is difficult to get such a big ship, probably only in Fuzhou......"
Li Yan said: "That treasure ship is the goal of our efforts, not to build it now, now let's build a few big ships that can travel far away." ”
Meng Kang said: "The shipbuilding of the younger brother's family belongs to the northern faction, and there are shipbuilding masters of the southern school in the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, among which the most famous one, surnamed Ye, his family has built big ships and warships for generations, and is good at making loach boats, the largest one is called the loach boat, twenty-four waterwheels are placed on both sides, the boat can accommodate hundreds of people, each car is pedaled by twelve people, and the external bamboo fence is used to protect it, and the arrows can be avoided, the crossbow tower is erected on the surface of the ship, and the other car is placed on it, if you want to advance, there is a bangzi sound on the battlement, twenty-four waterwheels, step hard together, and its ship is like flying, The most outstanding contemporary name is Ye Chun, and the rivers and lakes call him Xiao Luban, if he can get the power of the Ye family and the strength of my two families, even if he can't build a treasure ship, he will definitely be able to build a big sea ship that can travel far away. ”
"Ye Chun? The shipbuilder who was robbed of his money by the leader of the Yangsanbo gang and was stranded in Jeju after hearing that Gao Yu was going to conquer Yangsan and offered the design of the loach ship? Li Yan said secretly.
Meng Kang said: "That little Luban is from Sizhou, and the younger brother wants to go to Sizhou to earn Ye Chun and the Ye family to go up the mountain to join the gang." ”
Li Yan slapped Meng Kang's arm twice, and said: "The big sea ship is related to the life and death of our Liangshanbo, please leave it to my brother, go and bring more money and silver, and pick more clever people to accompany my brother to earn that Ye Chun and the Ye family go up the mountain to join the gang, um...... The road to Sizhou is far away, and the brothers will bring dozens of good hands to accompany you on the road. ”
Deng Fei interjected: "Brother, younger brother and Meng Kang brothers walked on the rivers and lakes in their early years, they met a good man, the good man's surname is Yang Minglin, the rivers and lakes call him a brocade leopard, he is a man who values righteousness, loves to make friends, and is the best at running to entrust big things, the younger brother heard that others are now in Dongchang Mansion, the younger brother is not talented, and he is willing to recruit him for his brother to go down the mountain, and then he will accompany the Meng Kang brothers to earn Ye Chun and the Ye family up the mountain to join the gang, this matter will be done!" ”
Yang Lin's martial arts are not outstanding, so much so that he is very courageous, such as knowing that the path in Zhujiazhuang is complicated, he was stunned and walked inside, so that he was captured; When he and Dai Zong passed through Yinmachuan, they met Deng Fei and Meng Kang and hundreds of small minions, just to show their skills in Dai Zong's face (or want to have a little glory after going up the mountain), they carried a pen and gun.
In the later development process of Shuibo Liangshan, Yang Lin fully showed the brilliance of his 10,000th gold oil, active in various industries in the cottage, the official title is Ma Jun Xiaobiao General, but he himself was also involved in the work of the water army, and beheaded Qiu Yue when he fought Gao Taiwei's water army (although it was cheap); He was also very active in the infantry army, when Liangshan fought Gaotang Prefecture, the initial battle was unfavorable, and he gave Gao Lian a crossbow arrow when he was ambushed, which boosted morale; The first time he faced Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses, Liangshan was defeated in a battle, and Song Jiang escaped only after relying on the cover of Yang Lin and Li Kui who were in ambush; Not only fighting, Yang Lin also engaged in purchasing activities in the mountains - accompanying Duan Jingzhu to the north to buy horses.
From this point of view, it is really impossible to find out who is more miscellaneous than Yang Lin in Shuibo Liangshan, and has done a good job.
Although Yang Lin's ability is not very high, he can keenly grasp the opportunity no matter where he goes.
In troubled times, it is very important to know how to grasp the opportunity.
Fighting Yutian County in Liao, he and Xie Zhen rushed to the rear of the Liao army, and finally were able to break through and come back.
During the conquest of Fangla, Yang Lin was infected with the plague when the troops arrived in Hangzhou, and Yang Zhi, Mu Hong, Shi Qian and others fell ill with him, but only Yang Lin survived in the end, and even Zhu Fu, who was cared for, was also infected and died.
Yang Lin can also be regarded as an indifferent and indisputable person, and in the end, Yang Lin did not accept the reward from the imperial court, but went back to drink Machuan with Pei Xuan to ask for leisure.
Therefore, Yang Lin is not a person who has much martial arts, but he definitely does not lack ability, just as Deng Fei said, he is good at running and can be entrusted with big things.
Li Yan said: "Brother, but please ask Brother Yang Lin to go up the mountain, I will not treat him badly!" ”
Deng Fei said: "In a few days, the younger brother will go to Dongchang Mansion to invite him to the mountain to gather righteousness!" ”
After letting Meng Kang take his seat, Li Yan preached to Pei: "There are no rules, there is no circle, what happened to the constitution drafted by the brothers?" ”
Pei Xuan said: "I have a first draft, and I want to ask my brother to decide." ”
Li Yan said: "This constitution is the fundamental law of my Liangshanbo, and I can't be sloppy, so I'll take a few days to go back and discuss it slowly." ”
Pei Xuanying said: "Yes, brother!" ”
After letting Pei Xuan take a seat, Li Yan patted Song Wan's arm with a smile and said, "It's been hard work for this time, brother." ”
Song Wan gritted his teeth and said, "It's not hard, I already like training those rabbit cubs!" ”
Li Yan said: "Take a seat." ”
As soon as Du Qian wanted to step forward to talk to Li Yan about his old feelings, Li Yan said, "Take a seat, I have something to discuss with you." ”
