"In fact, the reason is very simple, before the Jurchens go south, we can't fight to the death with the real court, and fight to the death, and when the time comes, both will only make the Jurchens take advantage.

You must know that although my Liangshan army has won a big victory these two times, but in fact, it has not fought a tough battle, once the imperial court learns a lesson and sends Lao Chengsu to lead the elite soldiers, step by step, steady and steady, we can't win so easily every time.

What's more, there is still a Western Army in the imperial court! ”

Seeing that some people looked a little disapproving, Lin Chong said patiently: "Maybe some of you will think that the Western Army is nothing great, and even want to compete with the Western Army!"

But have you ever thought about it? Let's not talk about which of the two armies is stronger or weaker, let's just say that the two armies fought each other, and they all died as soldiers of the Han family! Can we do this kind of thing that consumes the vitality of the nation in vain, and the relatives and enemies are happy?

And the Western Army is still in power to attack the Western Thieves, preparing to destroy the Western Xia in one fell swoop, if it is because of our reasons, the imperial court dispatches the Western Army to conquer and suppress, which leads to the destruction of the Western Thieves halfway, or even defeat, then my Liangshan Army is a national sinner! ”

Sure enough, as soon as they heard Lin Chong say this, no matter how belligerent Li Tianyan was, no matter how good he was for Zhao Song, Li Cheng and the others couldn't help but bow their heads, saying in their hearts that the military master's brother was taking the overall situation into account and thinking far-reaching.

And Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo immediately expressed their firm support for Lin Chong's decision and strategy, after all, they were both born as generals, and the imperial court treated the two of them well, and now as soon as they surrendered to the Liangshan army, they would fight to the death with the imperial army, and the two were naturally unwilling.

It's just that Guan Sheng is still very worried: "It's just that now the court lord is ignorant, and the traitorous ministers are in power, and Gao Yu is the most trusted person in the official family."

Our Liangshan army killed Gao Lian, Gao Yu's brother, and killed the scholar doctor in Dengzhou, and the king of the turban, which offended Gao Yu's brother and the sergeant doctor in the court. And our request is really a bit high, I'm afraid that the court won't agree. ”

Lin Chong smiled and told everyone his thoughts: First, if he didn't agree, he would be beaten, and if the court hurt, he would naturally agree. Therefore, after we go back, we must seize the time to train the army and prepare it for war;

Second, we must also launch a war of public opinion to propagate to the world the propositions of our Liangshan Army, which advocates not fighting a civil war and is united with the outside world. If the imperial court doesn't fight the western thieves and Liaogou, they will definitely beat us, and they will definitely lose the hearts of the people!

That's the hype!

In fact, there is a third point that Lin Chong did not say, that is, to make the imperial court indecisive and gain time for the development of the Liangshan Army.

This is also what Lin Chong learned from the Jurchens from the real history between the two Song Dynasty.

To say that this group of Jurchens is really as cunning as a fox and as ruthless as a wolf - in the war of the Jin Dynasty against the Song Dynasty, the consistent method of the Jin Dynasty against the Song Dynasty was to send troops to attack the Song army to the death, and at the same time send envoys to the imperial court or leading the army to extort money.

It's a very clever strategy!

Because if you don't send an envoy to extort benefits, but threaten that I am going to kill you, then the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be forced to fight to the death with the Jin soldiers.

But if you send envoys to blackmail, it will create a false impression for the weak Song Dynasty emperor and the lord and faction among the ministers, thinking that the Jurchens just want to come and grab a wave and leave, as long as they sign a treaty and give some benefits to feed this group of barbarians, maybe they can exchange for more than a hundred years of peace like the alliance of the Yuanyuan.

So when Jingkang was ashamed, Emperor Qinzong had illusions because of this psychology, and he was indecisive in whether to fight or fight, and he changed several times a day; As a result, the main peace faction in the court completely gained the upper hand and firmly suppressed the main battle faction.

It was only when the Jurchens pushed too hard that they reluctantly resisted, held the first battle of Bianjing, and then continued to sue for peace. As a result, many times it was clear that he could inflict heavy damage or even annihilate the Jin soldiers, but he was ordered to die and not act rashly, and he missed the opportunity in vain.

In the end, they finally died together and killed the Northern Song Dynasty.

So Lin Chong also planned to use this method, in fact, Lin Chong also had much hope in his heart that the imperial court would not report it, but he could use this method to make the imperial court hesitate and argue, and buy time for the development of the Liangshan army.

You must know that now that the four castles outside Liangshan Bo have been built, Lin Chong is preparing to develop industry and commerce and develop science and technology trees.

Moreover, after accepting more than 50,000 prisoners of the Song army, plus the people of Jingdong and Hebei who took the initiative to join the army, there were 60,000 recruits to start training.

Therefore, how could Liang Shanjun have so much time to accompany Song Jun to entangle?

However, Lin Chong did not tell these contents to the people below, and only a few top levels of the Liangshan Army, such as General Lu, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, Du Bai, etc., knew about it.

And now the idea of holding a meeting to let the commanders and instructors implement it to the soldiers below is the most superficial truth, because there is a threat from the Jurchens, so they can't fight to the death with the Song Dynasty for the time being, so they must cooperate temporarily and coexist peacefully.

Everyone no longer had any doubts, and they all said that Lin Chong was far-sighted, which was admirable.

In fact, many of them, such as Lin Chong's hand-trained instructors such as Yun Zhi, Zhang Tianming, Li Le, Tian Fei, etc., are basically full of Lin Chong; Li Tianyan, Teng Huan, Lu Zhishen, Fan Rui, He Ji and many other veterans of the Liangshan Army are also simple-minded and coarse, anyway, they recognize Lin Chong, and Lin Chong says how to do it, they will do it.

Lin Chong nodded with great satisfaction, and said: "In order to compete with the imperial court for the hearts and minds of the people, and in order to win this battle of public opinion, I decided to build a new primary school in each of the four castles outside Shuibo, which is called Liangshan Academy."

In addition to allowing the children of the soldiers and common people to study at the academy, I also plan to recruit children between the ages of six and ten in Jeju, Yunju, and even other places in the northern part of the eastern part of the country to study Confucian classics and other practical subjects for free......"

The Song Dynasty was indeed a dynasty with a flourishing literary style, even if most of the people in the meeting had not read much, but they were still full of respect for cultural people in their bones, and they were interested when they heard this.

"Okay, it's good to read well!"

"This is a matter of immeasurable merit, who doesn't say that our Liangshan Army is good, especially those extremely poor families who want to go to school but can't afford to go to school, and they are not grateful to our Liangshan Army for the rest of their lives?"

"Another point is that after these boys are completed, they can also be used by my Liangshan Army, which is actually cultivating talents for our Liangshan Army."

"But if we expand four primary schools at once, I'm afraid it's hard to find professors to teach?"

Jiang Jing frowned, he listened to Lin Chong's plan, each of the four primary schools should be able to accommodate at least four hundred students, and together it would be one thousand six hundred students. The primary school hall in Yangsan Oshima will also be expanded to include at least 1,000 students.

This adds up to a total of 2,100 new students, and even if there is a professor for 30 students, it will take 70 private school teachers, so where can you find so many professors in a short period of time?
