Chapter Seventy-Nine: Lin Chong, Fortune

The morning dawn dewed, sprinkled with thousands of rays of light, shining on the land of Qilu in early summer, everything seemed so vibrant.

The day has just dawned, the whole Jingdong Road is already a busy scene of traffic, and the newly built road of Liangshan Army is full of pedestrians and business travelers coming and going.

Thanks to the Liangshan army, all the bandits in Jingdong Road were swept away early in the morning.

also benefited from the corruption and incompetence of the Zhao and Song courts, and the tyrannical expropriation, so that the entire Song Realm was already full of beacons except for this place, and the king of the bandit mountain was everywhere.

Therefore, in the context of wars and catastrophes everywhere, hundreds of people's families are ruined, and people are displaced, Jingdong Road, a paradise sheltered by the Liangshan Army, is becoming more and more precious.

Not only did many merchants who originally did business in Jingxi, Hebei, Jianghuai, and Jiangnan abandon their previous trade routes, but instead came to Jingdong Road with a large amount of money and materials, seeking cooperation with Liangshanjun.

As a result, Jingdong Road was already very prosperous, and the industrial and commercial trade industry naturally became more and more prosperous.

The state city of each Jingdong Road, although it is not as prosperous as Bianjing, but it is also really worthy of the car like a flowing water and a dragon, pedestrians rubbing shoulders one after another, raising a curtain into a curtain, sweating into rain, its prosperity and liveliness can be seen.

On the other hand, countless people who have lost their homes have also helped the old and the young to flee to Jingdong Road.

Although the participation of these refugees is not as rich as the merchants from all over the world, they have also made an important contribution to the prosperity of Jingdong Road.

Because of their arrival, they have solved the labor shortage caused by the vigorous development of manufacturing, construction, industry and commerce, and service industries in Jingdong, and provided them with a large number of cheap labor.

In general, even if the whole family flees here, the refugees who have nothing can quickly find a job when they arrive at JD.com, although it is harder than their hometown, but at least their lives are guaranteed and there is hope for their lives.

Of course, everyone has not forgotten the role of the Liangshan Army, if it were not for the Liangshan Army, the pure land of Jingdong Road would not exist, and everyone could only be starved to death, killed or forced to rebel.

Therefore, whenever you walk on the road, you can always hear someone scolding Emperor Zhao and Song, saying that the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts are exhausted, and Liang Shanjun is in a hurry, and some family members who died in the turmoil are even more unscrupulous and loudly curse the Daojun Emperor Zhao Guan's family not to die well.

"Alas, the hearts of men are like this, and the central authority is lost, and so on...... What can I do? ”

On the busy avenue, a caravan of dozens of people was mixed in, and a wealthy businessman in his thirties on the four-wheeled carriage in the middle of the caravan couldn't help but sigh.

said that he was a wealthy businessman, but if you look closely, you can find that this rich businessman actually has an elegant face, and he can't hide his bookish atmosphere, and he is clearly a literati doctor in disguise.

Hearing him sigh, another middle-aged scribe in the carriage, who was a little older and looked more shrewd and calm, also sighed in a gloomy voice: "What Brother Qingqing said is very true, the Liangshan army is clearly a rebellion, and these people following the Liangshan army are clearly rebellious.

But you and I look at it, whether it is a rich merchant landlord or a farmer in the land of Jingdong, can there be a person who regards Liangshanjun as a thief and rebel? ”

"Nope! Not only did they not regard Lin Chong's gang as a rebel thief, but they all regarded Lin Chong as a hero who saved the world!

And they followed Lin Chong not from the rebellious, but from the dragon. In particular, these merchants regard it as an investment, and they are a strange commodity like Lu Buwei! ”

Seeing Brother Qingqing shaking his head with a wry smile, this person continued to sigh and said: "What's even more annoying is that Lin Chong, a traitor, still lets the storyteller speak ill of Emperor Taizu Taizong in the streets and alleys every day.

Many ignorant people were really bewitched by them, and they no longer had the slightest respect for the emperor of the Zhao family, and they didn't even have a good face for the officials of the imperial court, but they were closer to Liang Shanjun than they were to their relatives! Do you say that these people are still the people of my Great Song Dynasty? ”

How could a scribe who was called Brother Qingqing not understand these truths?

The reason why Lin Chong broke through the outer wall of Bianjing City but did not attack the inner city, and took the initiative to negotiate peace with the imperial court and take the initiative to help the imperial court to fight the western thieves, was not to compete with the imperial court for the hearts and minds of the Mandate of Heaven?

Lin Chong now has no shortage of force, and it is naturally the most important thing to justify himself and fight for justice.

In all fairness, Zhao Song did not win the country properly, and Emperor Daojun could not be called a Ming monarch, and now the Great Song Dynasty was in turmoil all over the court, and the princes of the imperial court could not escape the blame......

And the Liangshan army has Chai Jin, a descendant of Zhou Shizong's descendants; It can indeed protect the security of the people and protect the safety of one party; In the eyes of the people of Jingdong, replacing Zhao Song as the emperor is naturally justified and justified.

It's just that he can't say these words, even though Zhao Song is not in a thousand ways, he can't be better than them Wenchen and Doctor.

To put it bluntly, although the Great Song Dynasty is nominally the emperor and the scholars share the world, there is only one emperor, but there are thousands of scholars, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty is the world of simple civil officials and scholars.

And Lin Chong, no matter how well Liang Shanjun does it, he is still a martial artist in power!

The memory of the five generations is not far away, and the memories left to them are too painful, the soldiers are arrogant, the commanders are the commanders, the handsome and the strong are betrayed, mutinies again and again, the emperors are changed again and again, the cities are slaughtered again and again, and every time the warlords attack each other, it is a bloody wash like chopping melons and vegetables.

All the civil officials and doctors were not taken out like pigs and sheep, beheaded one by one, and the whole family was killed; , is a servile face, trembling under the rule of the military power of the martial arts, walking on thin ice, lingering for a long time, no one knows if there will be a tomorrow.

It is based on all the system construction and all the ruling methods of the Great Song Dynasty since Emperor Taizong suppressed the military with literature and reused civil officials. All revolve around a center, that is, to guard against military ministers. Suppress the military ministers!

We must not let these martial artists turn over again! The story of the Five Generations must not be repeated!

It's a fight to the death. Man can betray his caste, but caste will not betray his caste.

Brother Qingqing was silent for a while, and then shook his head for a long time, lowered his voice and said: "It's no wonder that the people, there is a cloud in "Shangshu": 'If you abuse me, you will take revenge, and if you touch me, you will be behind!'" The people are not at fault, but it is the fault of the court. If it weren't for this, how could the princes of the court and the officials learn from the pain, and make up their minds to refresh the government and make every effort to govern the country, I am afraid that Lin Chong will not give the court time to work hard.

Brother Hui, this time you and I sent the Jurchens, I hope everything goes well, for the imperial court to train a new army, refresh the government to buy more time, if you can persuade the Jurchens to break through the Great Wall of thousands of miles, in the homeland of Jizi Joseon and the Liangshan army decisive battle, then the revival of the Great Song Dynasty is hopeful, and the world ......is very fortunate."

"I hope so!"

The middle-aged scribe who was called the brother of the association nodded when he heard this, but he was a little disapproving.

How easy is it to refresh the government? At the beginning, Fan Wenzhenggong tried hard for this, but failed; Later, Wang Jinggong changed his strategy and tried to breathe a sigh of relief for the Great Song Dynasty, but it directly triggered a party dispute. The government and government became chaotic, the morale was bad, and everyone did not ask whether it was right or wrong, but only knew that the party was the same and different.

Even at this time, in order to organize and train the new army, all forces in the imperial court, the new party, the old party, the Cai Jing family, the Tong Guan family, the so-called Qingliu, and the prince family, as well as the Xungui Jiangmen group, are still fighting for power and profit, and they are unwilling to give in to each other.

In this case, how to refresh the government and how to train the new army to compete with the Liangshan army!

The best result is just to force the Great Song Dynasty to take another breath and eliminate the Liangshan army at all costs, as for how many casualties in the war during the war, and how to deal with the rising Jurchens after taking the Jurchen soldiers and horses to destroy the Liangshan army, these are not in his consideration.

It's a big deal to knock down the land of Yanyun and give it to them, and give them a little more coins, such as the story of the Abyss Alliance, I think these Hulu should be satisfied.

After all, the Liangshan Army is also their great enemy!

Just thinking about it, the two of them heard a commotion on the road outside, and obviously heard a series of exclamations and cheers, and the middle-aged scribe who was called the brother of the meeting frowned slightly, raised the curtain and said, "Wei Laosan, go and see what happened?" ”

Wei Laosan took the order and left, and soon inquired about the news clearly, rode to the car window and said: "Master, I have inquired clearly, it is that the Liangshan Army has discovered a big gold mountain in Kagoshima, the southern part of Kyushu Island in the Japanese Kingdom, and is recruiting people to go to mining, and the people are rushing to sign up."

The little one also heard from the people of the Liang Shan Army that the broken island of the Wa Kingdom is full of gold and silver mines, so there is no need for everyone to fight, and after the Liang Shan Army conquers more territory on the Wa Island, more people will be recruited to do things. ”

The two of them in the carriage glanced at each other, but saw that the middle-aged scribe who was called the brother of the association was puzzled: "Mining is the hardest work, and there is a fear of life, why are the people of Jingdong so eager to do so?" ”

Wei Laosan hurriedly explained: "The old man forgives the sin, they are all small and did not make it clear, the Liangshan army recruited all workers who smelted gold and silver on the ground, and those who went down to the mine to mine were all Japanese prisoners of war and captured Japanese slaves. If the people of Jingdong are willing to go down to the mine, they will supervise the work, and there is also accident insurance, in case of an accident, Liangshan Jun will compensate the family for 100 copper ......"

Both of them were stunned when they heard this, and then they heard the middle-aged scribe who was called Brother Qingqing sigh: "Lin Chong, is it really lucky?" First, the whale of the whale river and the sea became rich for hundreds of people and businessmen; Now there are countless gold mountains and silver mines on Wajima. In the long run, I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult to control, and the hearts of the people of Jingdong Road will become more and more detached from the imperial court......"

And the middle-aged scribe who was called the brother of the association gritted his teeth and said: "Sure enough, it is still the domineering style of the Legalists, Lin Chong can see it, he just wants to learn the style of tyrannical Qin, and seize the world with force and criminal law!" I have to say that the effect is indeed very fast, but the more this is the case, the more this thief must be eliminated as soon as possible! However, the Great Song Dynasty will die! There is no place for us to die! ”

The two of them had a sad face in the carriage, and the other gritted his teeth and said that he wanted to kill Lin Chong, but fortunately, the four-wheeled carriage had good sound insulation, and most of the people and businessmen on the road were happy, but they didn't notice this group of people with special behavior.

But no matter how the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts planned, how they gritted their teeth, and wished that Lin Chong would die immediately, Liang Shanjun's side was doing their own things in an orderly manner, whether it was a general or a soldier, everyone had a big dream and walked forward step by step towards a small goal.

The whaling industry is in its infancy and thriving; The war also achieved phased results, annihilating all the naval forces of the Japanese state, occupying the entire island of Kyushu, and launching attacks and harassments on the main island of the Japanese state from time to time, and the Liangshan army also refocused its main energy from overseas to the interior, and concentrated on the land south of the Yangtze River.
