It didn't take long for Uncle Zhang and his son to come to the Wanzi City Council Hall under the leadership of Lu Fang, and a group of entourage guards who went to the island with them had been waiting here for a long time.

Uncle Zhang led the group into the conference hall at night, and saw Lin Chong and the two sides said some kind greetings, and finished saluting each other.

Because he didn't have hope for this recruitment, Uncle Zhang didn't talk nonsense much at night, and immediately took out the edict from the edict box held by Xiao Huangmen in his entourage, and read it aloud:

"The system said: Since I ascended the throne, I have ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, performed rituals and pleasures to change the sea, and rewarded and punished the public to determine the war. The heart of seeking talents has not been slack, and the heart of loving the people has not been less negotiable. Bo gives to all people, and wants to be the same as heaven and earth; Benevolence and benevolence, salty so that the people of Li are sheltered. The young man is a child, and he knows my heart.

Remembering Liangshan Jun Lin Chong, General Lü, Wen Huanzhang, etc., they are loyal and do not commit tyranny. The heart of submission has been awe-inspiring for a long time, and the will to serve is awe-inspiring. Though they sin evil, each has its own cause. Observe his sincerity, and be deeply pitied.

Uncle Zhang, the waiter of the Ministry of Special Rites, held the edict and went to Liangshan Shuibo in person to pardon all the crimes and evils committed by Lin Chong and other people. The leader will each be given a gold medal and a red brocade. When the letter of pardon arrives, don't be discouraged, return early, and it must be reused. Therefore, I would like to know about it.

An edict was issued on a certain day in the summer and May of the eighth year of Zhenghe. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the edict was read, I saw that everyone under Lin Chong's command either looked displeased or slightly angry.

I saw that General Lu, the second-in-command of the Liangshan Army, arched his hand and said: "Zhang Xianggong, isn't Liang Fangping, who passed the word, never made it clear?" ”

"What?"

Uncle Zhang sighed slightly in his heart, and secretly knew that Liang Shanjun would not be sincere in recruiting peace, and now that he wants to find fault, he must have to make an inch and put forward excessive conditions. Then the responsibility for destroying the peace (Zhao'an) was shifted to the side of the imperial court.

Don't say anything else, just say that he, the Qincha, read the edict, Lin Chong didn't even convene all the leaders, and he refused to kneel when he listened to the edict, just bowed down and saluted, so he knew that Liang Shanjun didn't take this recruitment seriously.

I heard General Lu Zhengse say: "My brother said it clearly - the two sides coexist peacefully, we accept the canonization of the Zhao official family, and the Liangshan army joins the battle sequence of the 800,000 forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty." To sum up, it is to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and follow the story of the Hedong Folding Army.

Today, when the imperial court came to recruit peace, why did it only make us surrender without saying anything, but did not mention the canonization of my brother and the appointment of non-commissioned officers of our large and small armies? Listen to the tune and don't listen to the propaganda, and the Liangshan Army doesn't mention all kinds of autonomy!

What makes sense? Don't you want to use an edict, a few gold medals, a few brocades, and a few bottles of imperial wine, just to trick tens of thousands of us into submission and work hard for the Great Song Dynasty, let me tell you, he Zhao Ji miscalculated! ”

As soon as Lu Jiang finished speaking, everyone saw that Lin Chong was standing there just looking at his nose and nose and his heart was settled, and they also exploded.

"The court despises us too much! Don't you think that my Liang Shanjun is afraid of the imperial court......"

"I don't think the court is at ease, this is taking us for fools......"

"When we are three-year-olds, how can we recruit like this? There is not a word of truth, it is all a lie to deceive us......"

But said that Lin Chong was like an old monk who had settled down, and when he heard Hu Yanzhuo's "three-year-old child", he couldn't help but pull out a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart, don't believe it, in the original story, you guys are really like three-year-old children, who were played around by the Zhao and Song courts.

Generally speaking, when two armed forces fight, and one side wants to surrender to the other, it is necessary to negotiate the terms and price in advance.

For example, at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the warlord Luo Yi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty on the condition that Li Yuan summoned him as the king of Yan, and also led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to guard the north;

For example, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Zhe family and the Yang family surrendered to the Song Dynasty together, on the condition that Zhao Kuangyin canonized them as the envoys of the festival, and still led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to guard the border;

Even in the TV series "Bright Sword", a battalion commander under Chu Yunfei wanted to surrender to Little Japan, but he also negotiated the conditions, he would be the regiment commander in the past, and if he only gave a battalion commander, he would not go;

On the other side, the bandit Xie Baoqing wanted to surrender to the Eighth Route Army, and he also talked to Kong Jie very clearly, what kind of establishment he would make after coming, and what position he Xie Baoqing would hold would be said in advance.

But in the original Water Margin story, when Song Jiang and his gang accepted the imperial court's recruitment, these conditions were not discussed.

The imperial court only used empty words such as "pardon all the crimes and evils committed by Song Jiang and other people" and "surrender early, and it must be reused", and then gave 36 gold medals, 72 silver medals, 36 red brocades, and 72 green brocades, and recruited 100 single and 8 generals under Song Jiang and almost 200,000 troops.

Isn't this a bunch of fools, a bunch of three-year-olds?

Even Xie Baoqing, a little bandit, has the knowledge, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, this group of people doesn't know!

Of course, if you think about it carefully, Song Jiang and Wu Yong are still about winning, and Hu Yanzhuo and others are definitely not fools.

The biggest reason why it is so easy to recruit an without negotiating any conditions may be that Song Jiang really wants to recruit an too much, wants to be an official too much, and wants to be a loyal minister to Zhao Ji too much, as long as he can recruit An, he can't take care of the others.

And Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others were originally generals of the imperial court, and when Song Jiang persuaded them before, they always talked about "waiting for Zhao'an", and they only went up the mountain, and it was naturally excellent to be able to return to the imperial court system at this time. Therefore, even if Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others saw the problem, they would not make any extraneous branches, and reminded them.

Others, such as Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Liu Tang, etc., were reluctant to recruit An, because they were suppressed by Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and other Zhao'an factions, so they kept silent.

So this is the original story, the twists and turns, idiot-like Zhao'an.

Lin Chong didn't really recruit An, and there was no Zhao'an faction in the Liangshan army at present, so naturally he wouldn't be like Song Jiang's gang, who didn't care about anything as soon as he heard about Zhao'an, and immediately had a seizure.

Uncle Zhang sighed again, and said in his heart that he really couldn't fool him, so he said: "Everyone, be quiet, listen to me, the court definitely has no intention of despising Liang Shanjun, let alone treating Liang Shanjun as a fool!"

It's just a matter of recruiting security, and the matter is big, so the court naturally has to be cautious. This time, the official family sent his own official to see if Liang Shanjun was sincere in recruiting peace? After that, we will talk about the canonization of the Lin military lord and other related matters.

Now that the imperial court has shown sincerity, pardoned all the crimes of Lin Junzhu and other personnel, and promised to be reused, will Liang Shanjun also show corresponding sincerity? ”

Lin Chong opened his slightly closed eyes at this time, bowed to Uncle Zhang, and said: "Zhang Xianggong is respectful, Lin Chong wants to coexist peacefully with the imperial court, but he can show the sun and the moon!"

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the imperial court has conquered and suppressed twice, and my Liangshan army has never killed or injured too many people, nor has it taken the initiative to loot and attack the prefectures and counties, which is proof of this!

It can be seen every day, I, Lin Chong, am dedicated to the Jurchens who only rise in the north, only in my Han family's rivers and mountains, and the Han family's world.

is really unwilling to fight to the death with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and consume the vitality of my Han family in vain, and when the time comes, we will lose both sides, but let the Jurchen barbarians who invaded the south take advantage of it. Reenactment of the tragedy of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the mountains and rivers were broken, the Central Plains was lost, and the people of our Han family were slaughtered in misery.

Therefore, I, Lin Chong, and Liang Shanjun want to coexist peacefully and unanimously with the outside world, that is, the sincerity of 'Zhao'an' that Zhang Xianggong said, please don't doubt it. It's just that I don't know what Zhang Xianggong said with the corresponding sincerity, what he said? ”
