Chapter 246: Cottage Fire
"Let's go to the water~"
"Knock knock~"
In the early morning, when the soldiers of Liangshan were still asleep, they were awakened by a burst of earth-shaking shouts and drums, so that everyone did not have time to dress up and ran out.
At the top of the Lyerwa cottage, a fire rose into the sky, lighting up the dawn sky.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, that's where the granary is!" Someone cried.
Countless Liangshan soldiers rushed towards the fire, and the fire was still fifty or sixty steps away from the place where the fire started, and was forced back by the billowing smoke and high temperature.
The lake wind hunted, the fire borrowed the wind, and the fire quickly connected into a long fire dragon, devouring everywhere, as fast as thunder, and in the blink of an eye, the entire mountain top was burned red, and there was no way to get close.
Everyone stared blankly at the fire that was burning more and more, helpless.
"It's over, it's over, all the rations are gone......"
Some of them wept bitterly and fell to their knees.
More people just stared blankly, their faces full of despair.
Now that the official army is pressing, it is impossible to go out to grab food, 40,000 people, 40,000 mouths, it is unrealistic to want to fill their stomachs by fishing.
"Who the is guarding the granary? Lao Tzu chopped him up! Ruan Xiaoer hissed.
No one answered his question.
Ruan Xiaowu on the side was so angry that he pulled out his knife with a swipe, and shouted, "Are you all deaf?" Who guarded the granary last night? ”
"The big boss has arrived!"
With a loud shout, everyone got out of the way, and Song Jiang, surrounded by Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Hua Rong and Zhang Qing, slowly walked into the crowd and reached the front.
Song Jiang stared blankly at the fire that was burning more and more, couldn't help covering his face with his hands, slowly knelt on the ground, and cried: "Heaven destroys my Liangshan, how unfair you are!" ”
The more he cried, the more sad he became, and the people around him couldn't stop comforting him, and suddenly he suddenly rushed forward and roared: "At the moment of the great enemy, the grain and grass are gone, how can Liangshan continue?" Just burn me to death!" ”
As he spoke, he had taken five or six steps in the direction of the fire.
"Brother, never!"
Shocked, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo flew forward in unison and forcibly brought Song Jiang back.
Song Jiang struggled desperately, but the two of them were extremely strong, and let him struggle in every way, but it was to no avail after all, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Everyone was shocked, and they were in a hurry, looking for water, pinching people, Song Jiang turned around again for a long time, but he still looked delirious, and in desperation, Guan Sheng had to carry it on his back and send him to the bedroom to rest.
In a panic, no one asked who the keeper of the granary was.
The fire burned for two or three hours, but fortunately the area around the grain depot was bare, so the fire did not spread to other buildings, but only tens of thousands of stone of military rations and tens of thousands of people's rations, all burned clean.
The whole island was shrouded in a faint layer of smoke, and the smell of fireworks did not go away for a long time, and white soot fluttered in the air, which fell on everyone.
Song Jiang lay in the bedroom, unconscious for a while, awake for a while, and tossed until the afternoon before he quieted down.
The Hall of Justice.
All the generals gathered together.
With the support of the guards, Song Jiang walked into the hall with vague steps, and slowly sat down on the tiger skin chair in the middle.
Everyone's eyes looked over in unison, Song Jiang coughed a few times, and cried again: "Today's incident, the blame is all on me, and Wanshi is to blame!" ”
Everyone said in unison: "My brother is serious." ”
Song Jiang wanted to say something, but he coughed heavily again, unable to speak.
After a long time, he finally calmed down, and was about to speak, but saw a person step forward and said: "Brother, don't worry, brother has a word, and please listen carefully to my brother and brothers." ”
Everyone looked at it, but it was Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river.
A complicated look appeared in Song Jiang's eyes, and he said, "Please speak."
I only heard Li Jun say: "Now that we have run out of food, and we are besieged by the officials and soldiers outside, we are already cornered, so why don't we accept the recruitment and surrender to the officers and soldiers!" ”
"What?"
Song Jiang was instantly messy.
You must know that yesterday, Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Ruan brothers and others were resolutely opposed to accepting Zhao'an, but today Li Jun took the initiative to accept Zhao'an's opinion.
Song Jiang's face was cloudy, and he glanced left and right again, and then asked slowly, "What do you brothers think?" ”
Guan Sheng opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, but he heard a neat voice from the right: "What the elder brother of the Li family said is extremely true, the only way to plan now is to recruit An, and please be cautious!" ”
This time, Song Jiang became more and more shocked, because all the people who preemptively expressed their stance were yesterday's anti-Zhao'an faction, including Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng, Tong Wei, Ruan and others.
Song Jiang turned around and asked Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and the others: "What do you think?" ”
Although Guan Sheng's face was also full of shock, when he saw Song Jiang asking, he had to sigh slightly, and replied: "Today's plan is only to accept the Zhao'an ......."
Immediately afterwards, Hu Yanzhuo, Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, Shi Xiu, Hu Sanniang and others also echoed their voices.
Song Jiang nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will be recruited by the Duke of Jing'an......"
Hulala~
Several people in the seat suddenly got up together, it was Li Jun, Tong Wei, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and the three brothers of the Ruan family who were the generals of the anti-Zhao'an faction, strode in front of Song Jiang, bowed to Song Jiang in unison, and bowed to the other generals around him.
I only heard Zhang Shunlang say in a loud voice: "Brothers, this is a long time to go to the mountains and rivers, the rivers and lakes are far away, and the career is sinister, the people's hearts are not ancient, and I hope to cherish a lot, so I will say goodbye!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also said in unison: "Brothers, cherish a lot!" ”
Song Jiang and the generals were shocked, stood up in unison, and asked in a lost voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Zhang Shun and everyone said in unison: "We were originally grass people in the rivers and lakes, and we were used to being idle, and we couldn't abide by all the rules of the officialdom, so don't bother here, I wish you brothers a bright future and a prosperous future!" ”
Song Jiang's expression changed greatly: "You ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shun and the others knelt down in unison, kowtowed three respectfully to Song Jiang, and kowtowed three times to the generals on the left and right, and then got up together and left the Juyi Hall without looking back.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do.
It's just that Song Jiang's black face was slightly red, and no one paid attention.
After a while, a personal soldier came to report: "The leaders took their luggage and left in a small boat." ”
At this time, someone stood up again, but it was Du Xing, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Bai Sheng, Du Qian, Song Wan and other generals, about twenty or thirty people, all bidding farewell to Song Jiang.
Everyone also followed Zhang Shun and the others, and kowtowed to Song Jiang and the remaining generals three times each, and then dispersed one after another.
In the end, in the entire hall, there were only Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Zhang Qing, Hua Rong, Chai Jin, Hu Sanniang, Shi Xiu, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, An Daoquan, Song Qing and others, less than twenty people.
Song Jiang was stunned for a long time, his expression was uneasy, and he slowly got up and said after a long time: "You have to deal with the cottage matter, and I will repair a letter to Jing'an Gong." ”
……
On the north bank of Liangshan Water, Zhao Hao and Seed Master Dao led the soldiers to welcome the Liangshan Army to recruit soldiers.
Goo-goo!
Suddenly there was a loud birdsong on the calm lake, and I saw dense white cranes flying in the east. It seemed to be greatly frightened, and the whole lake was filled with the sound of cooing birds, and the scene was extremely shocking.
With the direction in which the flock of birds flies. A dark cloud that obscured the sky and the sun surged up at the place where the water and sky met in the east, and it became bigger and bigger. If you look closely, you can see that there is a large number of ships rushing in.
Liang Shanjun!
The expressions of the crowd tightened, and the crossbowmen reached out and clenched the feather arrows in the quiver, and the faces of the middle generals of the seed division were also nervous.
Gradually, the ship got closer and closer, and it could be seen that there were white flags on the large number of ships, and everyone was a little relieved, but they still did not let down their vigilance.
Zhao Hao clicked a clairvoyant talisman, looked up, and saw Song Jiang on the deck of the first big ship, hurriedly inquired about the attributes of this guy, and found that his favorability towards himself reached 80, and his loyalty reached 75, and he was finally relieved.
He searched Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others one by one, and found that their favorability and loyalty to him were above 70, and he was completely relieved.
He waved his hand slightly towards the planter, signaled to lift the vigilance, and then led Lu Junyi, Wu Yong and others to personally greet the ferry.
Finally, the hundreds of warships gradually approached the shore, and Song Jiang and the others on the warship couldn't help but get excited when they saw Zhao Hao leading Wu Yong and Lu Junyi to the dock to greet them in person.
The leading big boat was the first to dock, Song Jiang led Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others to hurriedly board the side of the boat, went ashore, greeted Zhao Hao, who came to greet him, and bowed his head: "Sinners Song Jiang, meet Jing'an Gong!" ”
Zhao Hao laughed and hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone up one by one.
……
In less than a month, Zhao Hao had pacified the Liangshan Kou, reported Zhao Ji, and arranged and disposed of the generals of the Liangshan Army who surrendered.
The 40,000 soldiers and horses who surrendered and the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses that were captured, except for the selected 5,000 soldiers and horses, were merged into the Beijing Division Forbidden Army, and the rest were all handed over to the soldiers, distributed money and food, and dismissed on the spot.
Song Jiang, the original leader of the Liangshan Army, abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the Ming, returned to the imperial court, and was approved by the imperial court.
This position, for Song Jiang, who was once a humble official, is already regarded as a holy grace, and it can also be regarded as an explanation to the generals of Liangshan. It's just that Zhao Hao knows that Song Jiang, who has a black history and is not a scholar, will stay in this position for the rest of his life, and he will never think about coming out again. Although he commanded the Wuyang Xiang Army, he parachuted into the past and had no foundation, and it was impossible to rebel.
Anyway, Song Jiang, the leader of the rebellion, has a bad character, Zhao Hao didn't kill him in order to win people's hearts, and it was impossible to reuse it.
The rest of the generals, such as Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Suo Chao, Xu Ning, Dong Ping, and Yang Zhi, who were originally official generals, were all incorporated into the division and listened to them.
Zhang Qing and Hua Rong were originally also generals of the official army, but due to the special skills of the two of them, Zhao Hao was reluctant to give it to the seed master, so he stayed by his side to listen to it.
Wu used such a think tank, Zhao Hao was naturally more reluctant to give it up, and worshiped Wen Linlang, who was from the ninth grade, who was in charge of the Jinyi Guard and the hook officer, and actually did the things of the staff.
Those generals who were not originally from the official army, Zhao Hao was unceremoniously merged into Jinyiwei. After all, these people originally had a strong atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, and they were not used to too many constraints for a while, and if they were in the army, they would inevitably be excluded.
The new Jinyi Wei Qingfeng Battalion, Lin Chong and Li Ying are the chief and deputy commanders; Shi Jin and Sun Li of the new Wind Battalion were added as the chief and deputy commanders; Lu Junyi and Yan Qing of the Golden Snake Battalion were added as the chief and deputy commanders; Shi Xiu is Wu Song's deputy, Hu Sanniang is Fang Baihua's deputy, and Dai Zong is Aoki's deputy.
The rest of the generals are all included in the Jinyi Guard, and each has its own arrangement.
PS: Today's second shift is estimated to be too late at 12 o'clock, and the third watch will be made up tomorrow.
