Chapter 255: Liangshan Army's Conditions
“…… It's just that I don't know what Zhang Xianggong said with the corresponding sincerity, what he said? ”
Uncle Zhang kept staring at Lin Chong all the time, and couldn't help but be speechless for a long time when he heard the words.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the different positions, Zhang Shuye would really have admired Lin Chong so much.
Not to mention both civil and military, it is something that no one has ever done since ancient times to train such a strong army in a short period of time.
What a genius, a hero! But it's a thief!
Zhang Shuye sighed, didn't think too much, and said: "As Lord Lin said, since Liang Shanjun is willing to accept the imperial court's recruitment, it is to recognize the legitimate rule of the imperial court, and the sage (that is, the emperor) is the co-lord of the world. Yes and no? ”
Lin Chong nodded: "Yes!" ”
Uncle Zhang said: "In this case, how can Liang Shanjun have a separate administrative system in Jeju and Yunzhou, coerce the landlords and villagers in the two states to reduce their taxes and set up another court, resulting in multiple political departments?"
Moreover, the spies of the Liangshan army are all over Jeju, the counties and towns of Yunzhou, and the state capital, and the Liangshan army openly threatens the two states to live in peace? ”
It turned out that after Uncle Zhang arrived in Jeju at night, he directly asked his entourage to go to Jeju City, and he took his son and several guards to pay a private visit.
When he heard this, the governor of Jeju called out to hit the sky, and cried and said: The Liangshan army is so strong, it can easily break through Jeju City, and there are countless spies of the Yangsan Army in Jeju City, which can be said to be untouchable.
A gang of thieves from Liang Shanjun can even enter the state government in the middle of the night, enter his bedroom, and threaten his life at any time, what can he do? Could it be that more than a thousand old and weak soldiers were used to fight against the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves of the Liangshan Army?
So today, Uncle Zhang will take this to talk about it at night.
Lin Chong smiled when he heard this, and said, "This, how can it be regarded as a multi-disciplinary political master?" At most, it is just a transaction, and my Liang Shanjun provides seeds for new crops to the landowners and farmers in the two states in exchange for them to reduce their tenant rents, which is also a matter for both of them to benefit.
As for our Liang Shan Army setting up another court to accept unjust cases, I admit this, and my Liang Shan Army has erected the banner of doing the right thing for heaven and protecting the territory and the people, so naturally we must keep our word!
This is also one of the conditions for me to talk to Zhang Xianggong today, after my Liangshan Army recruits An, it must have a high degree of autonomy, the military affairs of the Liangshan Army, the imperial court is not allowed to interfere, and except for the original garrisons of Jeju and Yunzhou, the imperial court soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the territory of the two states!
In addition, I don't ask for the hereditary prefect of the two states like the Zhe family, but I also have to let the imperial court recognize the judicial power of my Liangshan army in the two states!
However, I, Liang Shanjun, will never mess around, only accept unjust cases, and the trial and sentencing will be in accordance with the "Song Criminal System". It's just that I, Liang Shanjun, can't use exile (stabbing and exile), so all exile sentences are changed to labor reform at various construction sites.
If the court is not at ease, it can also send someone to supervise it. As for the last point you said, threatening the two states to defend too much, this is not at all to talk about, at most it can only be regarded as a reminder. ”
Uncle Zhang pondered for a while, and then said: "Then your Liang Shanjun also issued another set of gold, silver and copper coins to refuse to accept the banknotes that the imperial court stipulates must not be rejected, isn't this contempt for the imperial court?" ”
Lin Chong smiled in his heart, he felt that he couldn't succeed in recruiting An this time, but since Uncle Zhang wanted to ask, then he would make another promise.
"This is just an imitation of the 16 officials and businessmen in Shuzhong at the beginning to try Jiaozi, since Zhang Xianggong said it, I promise to only use it in Jeju and Yunzhou, and definitely not export our gold, silver and copper coins to other states and counties!"
Lin Chong said in his heart: "After all, if the imperial court falls too fast, but the Liangshan army does not have the ability to eat it at once, then the peasant uprisings will rise one after another, and the powerful will divide the territory, and then the Jurchens will invade the south again, and the world will become a pot of porridge, which is also very unfavorable to the Liangshan army."
Therefore, in fact, he is more reluctant than Zhao Ji to let the gold, silver and copper coins circulate in the Great Song Dynasty now, otherwise the imperial court will not fight with Lao Tzu? ”
Uncle Zhang pondered for a long time and said: "Military autonomy, the imperial court soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the two states, the judicial power of the two states, listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and circulate gold, silver and copper coins in the two states, is this the condition of the Lin military master?" ”
"Yes."
Uncle Zhang sighed imperceptibly, secretly thinking that Lin Chong seemed to really want to "recruit An", but in this way, the Liangshan army would grow more and more rapidly, and the tail would not fall off when the time came......
So he said tentatively: "If the imperial court agrees, and the official family transfers the Liangshan army to Guanxi to fight the western thieves, is the Lin army really willing to go?" Do you dare to swear to the sky? ”
"If you want to, why don't you dare?"
Lin Chong smiled indifferently, and then came to the outside of the conference hall, in front of Zhang Shuye and his son, the little yellow door holding the edict box, and many soldiers of the Liangshan Army, they swore to the sky, saying that if the imperial court agreed to the conditions of the Liangshan Army and agreed to coexist peacefully with the Liangshan Army, if Zhao Guan's family requisitioned the Liangshan Army to fight the Western Thieves, if he didn't go, he would let himself die under the sword and arrow, and the sky would abandon him!
Uncle Zhang listened to Lin Chong's oath word for word, and his serious face didn't look like a joke at all, and he couldn't understand this Lin Chong more and more in his heart.
Straight lady thief, is it difficult that this Lin Chong is really so stupid, or so concerned about the overall situation, is he really willing to go to Kansai to fight the thief?
How can this thing look so unreal?!
But even if he didn't believe it in his heart, but the facts were here, and there were many of Liang Shanjun's subordinates in Lin Chong, as well as the testimony of Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others who accompanied him, and it was impossible for Zhang Shuye to ask his own questions.
This trick has to go on.
So Uncle Zhang ordered someone to take the gold medal for surrender (the gold medal for exoneration, in fact, it is to paint the wooden board with gold paint) and red brocade, and wanted Lin Chong to present the roster, distribute it according to the name in turn, and then give each person a glass of imperial wine.
Lin Chong smiled, saying that the Liangshan army had collected too many imperial court troops before, and then had to go to Guanxi to fight the western thieves, the time was urgent, and the training could not be delayed at all, so these gold medals and red brocade would be handed over to Mr. Wen and let us distribute them ourselves.
As for the imperial wine, there is no need to wait for them, and the people present will drink it first.
Uncle Zhang saw that Lin Chong was so strong at night, and he no longer bothered about this, so he immediately arranged with Lin Chong, and poured a glass of imperial wine to toast each other, but after the wine was down, he couldn't help but praise it, this wine is so fragrant and mellow.
After that, it was natural to set up a wine feast and entertain, and let Zhang Shuye and others live on the mountain for three days in a row, and every day Lin Chong used the excuse of being busy with military training, only letting Chai Jin, Chai Huangcheng's uncle and nephew, as well as Lu Fang and Wen Huanzhang take turns to accompany each other.
Because he had to make a sufficient gesture to show that Liang Shanjun was sincere in "recruiting peace", Lin Chong also knew that Zhang Shuye was loyal to the imperial court, and it was impossible for him to be moved by himself because of a few words, so Lin Chong did not really have a deep conversation with Zhang Shuye several times.
However, if Uncle Zhang wants to walk around at night, he will not stop him, anyway, the soldiers below have already done ideological work and promulgated confidentiality regulations. Unless Lu Jiang, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, and Du Yan leak secrets, they are not worried that their true thoughts will be heard by Uncle Zhang.
He went below to ask ordinary Liangshan sergeant, which made him more convinced of his sincerity in "recruiting An".
Three days later, Zhang Shuye and others returned to Beijing to resume their lives, and Lin Chong and others were sent all the way to Jeju City, and then they said goodbye to Zhan Yuxing.
After Uncle Zhang walked in the night, Liang Shanjun's side naturally paid more and more attention to training, and at the same time paid close attention to various infrastructure construction, and greatly promoted the cause of industry and commerce and education, and was very busy.
Time passed quickly, and it was the fourth day of the sixth month in a blink of an eye......
