Chapter 159: Dare to Block, Kill It Is [Request]
Obviously, between his own rights and responsibilities and the interests of the Yuncheng gentry, Cao Jing did not hesitate to choose the former.
Cao Jing doesn't need to cover up anything in this matter, his position as the magistrate of Yuncheng County is already shaky, and with his background, once something bad happens, it will be even more miserable than Deng Tong's fall. So he dared to make a deal openly and made a promise, just begging Lu Qian not to do it.
And with Chao Gai as a lobbyist, he can only say that there is no fool in being an official. That Wu Song has only stood out of the 'encirclement' once, but Chao Gai has already played with this two or three times, to say that he has nothing to do with Liang Shan, this is an insult to Cao Jing's IQ.
Yes, Lu Qian was very excited to hear such words from Chao Gai's mouth in the Juyi Hall. This Chao Tianwang went to Liangshan this time, and what he asked for was not to borrow someone to cooperate to rob the Birth Gang, but to make peace.
Of course, Lu Qian was stunned. The beginning of the Water Margin is the gathering of the seven stars, the wisdom of the birth gang, and now it seems that it was completely blown away by its own butterflies. Also, there is no Liu Tang under that Chao Gai, and there is no Ruan Sanxiong under him, and there are indeed many capable bankers in his village, but they are completely ineffective in this matter.
Zhi Duoxing does have a lot of ghost ideas, but everything can't be pinned on just one method, it depends on the situation he comes. He himself said that strength is strength, and wisdom is wisdom.
In the original book, Yang Zhi and his group who escorted the birth gang are only a dozen people in total, except for Yang Zhi, who is good, the others are considered birds?
With Liu Tang and Ruan's three heroes here, it is a competition for hard power, and Chao Gai can also eat Yang Zhi and his party. Yes, the situation above the original book is both soft and hard.
And now? Not to mention that Chao Gai knows that there are too few hard hands under him. Even Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng also know Chao Gai's strength, if they can't play soft, they are obviously not the opponents of the soldiers led by Suo Chao, who are in a hurry.
Yes, Liang Shijie's subordinates did not have Yang Zhi, so he selected the urgent pioneer Suo Chao, but he is also a fierce man. And it has been sharpened on the battlefield in the northwest, otherwise Hebei has not heard of swords for a hundred years, where did he get this nickname?
With such conditions, as long as Chao Gai is not stupid, he will not think of robbing the Birth Gang, even if it is ill-gotten gains, everyone in the world can take it. He didn't have to worry about his life to do anything?
In fact, Lu Qian has always been incomprehensible, you Chao Gai is not short of money to spend, the second is not popular with the government, you have no descendants, and the fourth has never expressed the idea of being a thief and a grass robber. Is it because of the confusion of the brain or the sudden stupidity of the person to think about robbing the birthday gift money of the ruling dynasty? Is it just because of that dream?
In later generations, many people wondered about this like Lu Qian. However, in the current time and space, this matter was completely lost by Lu Qian, and Lu Qian also knew from Chao Gai's mouth that this matter was not really for no reason.
"How much is 5,000 catties of good iron worth?" also promised to 'do nothing in autumn' with Liang Shanbo?
Lu Qian said "hehe". How big of a face do you Cao Jing dare to say such a thing? I'm just sending someone to Yuncheng County to walk around now, do you dare to send someone to arrest Yuncheng County? The face is really big.
"That birthday gang is 100,000 pieces of gold and silver. It is also ill-gotten gain, and the world can take it. ”
Lu Qian waved his hand, no matter how much money the "Birth Gang" brought by the urgent pioneer Suo Chao took, just this urgent pioneer, Lu Qian had an opinion, is it a big deal to put down the mountain again. If you tie the knot, you will see each other in the future.
Maybe he won't be gone then. Lost the Birth Gang, the world is so big, where can Suo Chao go?
Chao Gai, the lobbyist, was a hundred unqualified, and when he heard Lu Qian's words, he not only didn't want to make peace, but started with a big start, and he thought it was true.
This was something that Lu Qian didn't know before. Now the Great Song Dynasty is 'Kugongtian', Cai Jing's old puppet has set up Kutan in various places, and it is not only a Shu land that suffers, but also Qilu. And last year, this Kutian office arrived in Qilu, and the imperial court also turned the entire land boundary around Shuibo into public land, so it was strange that Chao Gai was not annoyed by Cai Jing.
Even if he doesn't feel sorry for his family belongings, it will be better to pass them on to his clansmen after a hundred years than to let the government take thousands of acres of fertile land with a piece of paper. And how could these good fields be included in the household department roster, I don't know how many of them were divided by Cai Jing's old thieves and his party.
"It's all ill-gotten gains, and there's no way to take them. If the chief really had this intention, he discussed a reason, and went to fetch it halfway. Heaven knows it, and it is not a sin. Chao Gai's words were full of applause.
Wu Yong also spoke at this time: "What the Heavenly King said is exact. Today's Liangshanbo is already the largest village in the green forest of the Northland, and it is such a thing that has been done, so what can Cai Jing do about the cottage? ”
"That dog official caused chaos in the world, stirring up Jiangnan without mentioning it, and now he is looking at Qilu again. It is said that it is to set up a field office, expand public land, and fill the national treasury, but in fact, it fills private pockets and harms the public and private interests. I don't know how many people gritted their teeth when they brought it up. ”
"If the big boss can sweep Cai Jing's face this time, he will be famous and praised by all over the world."
Lu Qian's eyes had never looked at this aspect, and when he heard Wu Yong's words, he had to be dumbfounded, really, it is no wonder that Song Jiang and his gang in the official history wanted to rebel, it turned out that it was really the officials who forced the people to rebel.
Since Cai Jing, Yang Jian and other Bingguo, they have been extravagant and wasteful, and have built a garden [Wanshou Mountain] to worship Zhao Ji. On the other hand, he waved his troops to attack Western Xia, and the battle was fought again and again. The money and food accumulated during the Zhezong period were easily squandered in just ten years. Then why was Cai Jing ousted in the first place? That's not the reason that 'in May of the fourth year of Daguan, the comet appeared between Kuisu and Lousu', a big reason is that in the eighth year of Cai Jing's Fuguo [1109], the country was about to go bankrupt.
In the second year of Zhenghe (1112), Cai Jing regained his life, and in order to alleviate the economic pressure, he conspired with Yang Jian to start the Kutian Institute, also known as the Xicheng Office. However, the idea of a Xu official named Du Gongcai, "legislating to claim the land deed of the people", is to make a special decree to propose to the common people to inspect the land contract, because many people's land is transferred from place to place, or come to reclaim wasteland, and they can't get the land deed at all.
This method began in Ruzhou, western Beijing, and gradually spread to the world. Including the seizure of natural famine, desertion of land, waste embankment, abandonment of weirs, retreat, silt, lakes, etc., to suppress the people from taking tenants, and forcibly expropriating public land money. Folk beautiful fields are all referred to as natural wilderness.
"Marquis Yu has been in Beijing for a long time, and he doesn't know the harm of this method. That can be described as: those who are proud of their surnames and beggars in the city at dusk. Gongsun Sheng also spoke, both sad and sad. He walked the rivers and lakes, and he must have seen many such scenes.
Liangshanbo is located in the west of Qilu, as a large lake with 800 miles of water, the lake is staggered with ports, reeds are vertical and horizontal, and there are many natural islands, the situation is dangerous and complicated.
If it were a true history, there would have been many bankrupt peasants, fishermen, and fugitives wanted by the government who hid here, ganged up in groups, and made a living by carrying out some "illegal" activities.
Then Song Jiang and his gang are afraid that they are one of them.
And Lu Qian didn't know whether Song Jiang and others in history were also facing the current oppression, but now there is a rumor that the Kutian Institute will also collect the entire 800-mile water area of Liangshan Bo as "public ownership", and stipulate that all the people who enter the lake to fish, collect lotus roots, and cut pu must be taxed heavily according to the size of the boat, and if there are violators of the prohibition, they will be punished as thieves.
Lu Qian had seen the situation of the Ruan brothers at the beginning. With their physical strength and water nature, they have already been difficult [although there is Liangshan Cottage], if the old Zhao family wants to play this hand again, it will really force the people around Shuibo into desperation.
This is a situation that was not mentioned in the original book of the Water Margin, and he doesn't know if this is the product of the fusion of the background of the Water Margin and the Northern Song Dynasty, but he really wants to be grateful for this rumor. What a boost it can give him.
After lamenting the unjust collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty again, Lu Qian made up his mind that this trip to Liangshan was decided.
After sending Chao Gai and his gang down the mountain, Lu Qian summoned all the leaders and said: "Cai Jing has brought disaster to the country and the people, and 100,000 people have been anointed with blood. Inside, I am afraid that there is not only the reward for the imperial examination, but also the deterrence of this field. ”
"This Birthday Gang, I Liangshan is decided. Not only to rob it, but also to rob it to everyone. "But it's different from before, I want to slap Cai Jing hard.
Previously, as long as Lu Qian took this money, there were no other additional factors. But now he feels that the True Birthday Gang is also going to make a fuss, anyway, when the news reaches Yuncheng, Na Suo Chao has already been planted in Huangnigang.
Sairengui Guo Sheng was the first of the leaders to respond, tears appeared in his eyes, and he was holding back his excitement all over. Shu was miserable by Cai Jing's kuotian.
Na Chao Gai and Wu Yong were obviously grieving and angry for the old folks around Liangshanbo; He Guo Sheng is not heartless, and this time he must avenge his hometown fathers.
Thinking like this, Lu Qian also understood why Chao Gai went to rob the Birth Gang. If you think of them in the direction of 'justice'.
Robbing Cai Jing's birthday, although it is not a big deal for Cai Jing himself, but I can't kill you, you can always die of disgust, right? As soon as my brain was hot, I didn't know how to do it.
Lu Qian raised his hand, and Fan Rui hung up a map on the side, which was very rough, the Yellow River was a thick line, and the county seat was a point.
"This is Puzhou, this is Puyang. The Birthday Tsunade took the waterway, from the Daimyo's Mansion to Puyang, after entering the Yellow River, going west to Biankou, and then turning to the Bianhe River to join Tokyo. ”
"The place where we do it is in Puyang. An Li Jun [Liyang, Puyang West] has a naval division of the government, although Puyang is a big mansion, but there is no such concern. Because in the past, they only sought wealth and goods, but they were only sent to the Goro brothers, but now it is different. Second Brother Ruan has returned, so let's go to Puyang with ...... Qilang and Brother Guo Sheng. ”
"Tell Brother Gorou that this time we are going to rob the generous one, and we will also play the banner of my Liangshan. Let's let go and grab the ship, as long as we don't rely on the dock, then there are thousands of Puyang garrisons, what can I do? "Can a flock of landlubbers still row a boat to chase them on the Yellow River?
"The same is true for Puzhou. Although there is a surface inspection on this great river, if our brothers have enough manpower, are they afraid of patrolling? ”
"If you dare to stop it, kill it."
Lu Qian pointed to the location of Yanggu County on the map, "The place of response is in Dulonggang, Yanggu." I'll take a look, will the officials of Puzhou dare to come to death at that time? ”
