Chapter Ninety-Seven: Doing the Way for Heaven
Through the incident of Xiao Liuzhuang, Wang Lun once again realized the importance of discipline. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At the same time, he also had no expectations for the other two forces on Liangshanbo, and they were exterminated separately after the return of the troops. He wants to make a name for himself in Liangshan, and he will not allow the traitors and evildoers who disregard people's lives to be corrupted. After exterminating these two groups of thieves, Liangshan had a large number of weapons and food in the account, which made Song Wan a lot happy.
On this morning, all the soldiers came to the colonel's field in front of the righteous hall to line up. Li Zhu, Song Wan, Shi Qian, Jiao Ting and other leaders stood on the steps, and the Ruan brothers and later Shi Bao were also there, and the stars surrounded Wang Lun like a moon. However, after he returned, he thought about it and wanted to set a programmatic slogan for the brothers in Liangshan. After all, a loose peasant army without an organizational program will not develop, and it is not conducive to the development and expansion of the strength of the cottages.
Although it is only early summer, the sun is also scorching in Shandong. Under the scorching sun, everyone soon sweated on their foreheads. But under Wang Lun's gaze, no one dared to move. Although it has only been three or four months now, the soldiers on Liangshan are not the same.
Standing on the stage, Wang Lun looked around at the soldiers in front of him, and said in his heart This is my team! Seeing that everyone's attention had been concentrated, Wang Lun said loudly: "Brothers! Some of you used to be farmers, some fishermen, some peddlers, and some beggars. But now we all have an identity, that is, the rebel army of Liangshan. ”
"For example, today, traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people are not able to make a living, so that we are downcast here. But the court is unfair to me, and we are waiting to settle accounts with the faint monarch and corrupt officials. Don't complain and hurt the innocent! ”
"Today I have consulted with several leaders and agreed that we should be loyal to save ourselves and others. Loyalty is loyalty to the nation. Righteousness is righteousness to the people. At this time, Wang Lun had no illusions about the imperial court and Song Huizong, and deliberately emphasized that loyalty was loyalty to the nation-state, not to the Song Dynasty. He publicized it like this, but also to cultivate everyone's sense of national responsibility, after all, it is not far from the rise of the Jurchens.
"When we go to Liangshan, we are all Liangshan rebels who uphold justice, punish evil and promote good. From now on, we must all keep in mind that we are the Liangshan Righteous Army. ”
Wang Lun's words, the people of Liangshan were excited, and they remembered the word "loyalty" in their hearts.
"Someone! Flag! ”
As soon as Wang Lun's words fell, he saw a big man coming over carrying a big flag. The apricot yellow flag was suddenly erected, waving in the wind, which was embroidered with the big word "loyalty", and next to it were the four small words "for the heavens".
The man who resisted the banner was named Li Kai, Li Zhu's nephew, and he went up the mountain a few days ago. He understood his uncle's ambitions, and when he received a letter from Li Zhu, he knew that he wanted to settle down in Liangshan, so he would come to join him. Now he sees that the people of Liangshan are strong and prosperous, and he is also full of expectations for Liangshan.
Li Yi is nine feet tall, on par with Song Wan. Wang Lun saw that he was strong, so he asked him to carry the flag, which was also the façade of Liangshan. I saw Li Kai holding the apricot yellow flag with both hands, came to the front of the general's platform, and erected the flag.
This flagpole is more than three zhang high, and the mouth of the bowl is thick, but I didn't expect Li Kai to lift it easily. Jiao Ting and Song Wan on Liangshan were shocked, you must know that in addition to the weight of this flagpole, there is also the resistance of the wind! Most people don't lift so lightly. Wang Lun originally had no impression of the name Li Kai, but after seeing Li Kai's performance, he also secretly paid attention to it, this person is a manufacturable material.
If you want to say the slogan of Water Margin Liangshan, is there anything louder than Tianxingdao? This was made by Wang Lun for several days to let his mother and Su Xiuxiu rush to make it.
Wang Lun pointed to the apricot yellow flag, waved his big hand, and said to everyone in the audience: "I hope that all brothers will work with Wang Lun to uphold the heart of loyalty." Save the people! Do the right thing for heaven! ”
"Save the people! Do the right thing for heaven! After listening to Wang Lun's words, Li Zhu raised his arms and shouted.
Li Zhu was the first to know Wang Lun's intentions, and when he heard that Wang Lun set the four words "for the heavens", he praised it again and again. The rebel army has always had its own slogan, such as the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which had "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand; years in Jiazi, the world is auspicious". At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Huangchao Rebellion put forward the slogan of "Heaven Makes Up for Equalization".
In the early years of the Song Dynasty, Wang Xiaobo of Sichuan rebelled, and also put forward the slogan of "I am sick and rich and poor, and now you are equal". The nearby peasants reacted in droves, and the rebel army grew to tens of thousands and captured Qingcheng County in one fell swoop. He also fought in Qiong and Shu prefectures and counties, conquered Meishan County, and captured Qi Zhenyuan, the county commander, and the prestige of the righteous army was greatly boosted for a while.
It's just that he knows that now is not the time for an open uprising, so he can only lie dormant for the time being, and replace it with the words "for heaven". But even so, he is enough to take a peek at the leopard, Wang Lun is an ambitious person who can do great things. He has a deeper understanding of Wang Lun, and since then he has been down-to-earth and loyal to Wang Lun.
"Do the right thing for heaven!" The Ruan brothers, Shi Bao and others were also infected by Wang Lun and spoke out.
"Do the right thing for heaven!"
"Do the right thing for heaven!"
All of a sudden, everyone on Liangshan raised their arms and shouted, and the sound spread to the four fields.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, seeing that the cottage military horses were initially formed, Wang Lun had further plans.
The first priority is to strengthen training. Practice, including standing in line, marching and retreating, etc. Today's Liangshan Rebels are only stronger than ordinary bandits, and their advantage is that they dare to fight, but military discipline is not easy to say. Strengthening military training will help train these people to get used to orders and obey commands.
In addition, they also had to practice martial arts, with Jiao Ting teaching fists and feet, Li Zhu teaching weapons, and Wang Lun teaching bows and arrows. This is just the beginning, Wang Lun also plans to let the sergeants practice the battle formation in the future. This is a qualified sergeant, but he does not have such a talent yet.
At the same time, Wang Lun promulgated seventeen military bans, which were implemented together with the Liangshanzhai regulations. But they are all successful experiences in ancient times, and Wang Lun uses the doctrine of take-it-or-leave-it.
One: Smell the drum and don't advance, smell the gold more than enough, the flag can't be raised, the flag can't be subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender will be beheaded.
