Chapter 122: Birth Compendium (2)
Hearing that Li Kui preemptively opened his mouth to support the eldest brother to snatch the birth gang, Zhou Tong, who went back to the mountain, was remorseful, why didn't he open his mouth to support the eldest brother in the first place, and was snatched away by the black bull!
Zhou Tong hurriedly shouted, "Zhou Tong also supports the opinion of the eldest brother, we must snatch the birth gang back, and we can't let that dog official succeed!" ”
Seeing that someone spoke up to support, Wang Yin, Li Jun and others, who had just come and didn't dare to speak, also spoke out to support Shi Jin.
Originally, they had just gone up the mountain, and they didn't have an intuitive understanding of Liangshan's wealth, and when they heard 100,000 guan, their eyes were red, and they shouted that they would send troops to snatch the birth gang.
Seeing that many people were clamoring to send troops, Shi Jin immediately shouted, "Since so many brothers agree to send troops, then we will go down the mountain to snatch Cai Jing's birthday gift." This time, I personally led the troops, and Li Kui, Zhou Tong, Pang Wanchun, Yuan Lang, Wang Yin, Deng Fei, and Ma Lin went down the mountain with me. Zhu Gui, if you continue to send people to monitor, you must find out when the soldiers and horses escorted by Liang Zhongshu will set off and take that route! ”
"Zhu Gui understands!"
Shi Jin thought for a moment and shouted: "You take a look by the way, and see if in addition to us, there are also those forces who also have the idea of fighting this batch of jewels!" ”
Zhu Gui arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”
Lin Chong knew that his opposition just now had caused Shi Jin a lot of dissatisfaction, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "Big brother is the master of the cottage, don't move lightly. Lin Chong is willing to lead the troops
Go and snatch Cai Jing's birthday gift! ”
Shi Jin looked at Lin Chong and said with a smile: "Brother Lin has good intentions, but Shi Jin is very thoughtful and wants to go down the mountain." After I led the troops down the mountain, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Ruan Xiaoer were responsible for guarding Liangshan, so don't lose anything! ”
When Lin Chong heard that Shi Jin still let himself guard Liangshan, he felt a little relieved, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't worry, Lin Chong will guard Liangshan well, and he will not let Liangshan lose!" ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "That's good, brothers, go get busy!" ”
Many leaders left, but Zhu Wu stayed.
Seeing that the people were gone, Zhu Wu stared at Shi Jin and said, "Big brother, is he trying to make a big deal?" ”
Plot big things!
Sure enough, if people don't know, they can't do it unless they do!
No matter how well you usually hide it, it will inevitably be noticed by someone with a heart!
Shi Jin stared at Zhu Wu and asked, "What is it, what is it?" Could it be that Zhu Wu is going to sue the head? ”
Zhu Wu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Zhu Wu doesn't dare!" If the eldest brother wants to plot a big thing, Zhu Wu thinks that the eldest brother should not snatch Liang Zhongshu's congratulatory gift. We only have 5,000 soldiers and horses in Liangshan, and if the imperial court sends a large army to encircle and suppress it, the outcome is unpredictable! Big brother should still wait patiently and accumulate strength, which is the best policy! ”
If Zhu Wudu, the old team, opposes his plan to plot the world, it will be a blow to himself. Now seeing that Zhu Wu is not dissuading himself from wishful thinking, but just trying to persuade himself to develop in a low-key manner, Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Jin shook his head and said, "I'm not arrogant enough to want to make a big deal with this little soldier. Since ancient times, salt and iron have been monopolized, and the 18,000 catties of pig iron purchased from Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang every month cannot meet the needs of Liangshan at all. Not to mention the armor, even the swords, guns and arrows are hard to muster. I want to form a caravan to go to Guangzhou, to Fujian, to buy overseas, and expand the quantity of pig iron, grain and other materials. In the same way, you can also make money and expand your strength as soon as possible. However, it costs a lot of money to buy a big ship, and I want to grab a birthday gift just to buy a few more sea boats. ”
"In addition to this, there are now many generals and soldiers in Liangshan who are greedy for pleasure and are content with the status quo. It is not possible to go on like this, and the army will be lazy as soon as it relaxes. That's not what I wanted. I want to give them a sense of crisis, let them tense up and train hard. ”
When Zhu Wu heard Shi Jin's explanation, he said, "Since this is the case, when the eldest brother sends troops to snatch the birthday gift, don't send out the cavalry battalion. The three hundred cavalry is too eye-catching, not to mention, it will also cause the jealousy of the imperial court. Anyway, the escort of the congratulatory gift was only 200 soldiers, and the eldest brother only needed to bring three or five hundred swords and spearmen to defeat them. This will not provoke us too much, and even if it provokes the anger of the imperial court, it should not send a large army to encircle and suppress us! ”
Shi Jin thought for a while and said, "What the virtuous brother said is reasonable, so do as you say." I only took 500 infantry to snatch those birthday gifts! ”
Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "Big brother is wise! ”
After eliminating the estrangement with Zhu Wu, Shi Jin looked at the letter on the table and said mockingly, "This Liang Zhongshu is also quite interesting, the Daimyo's Mansion is thousands of miles away from Tokyo, and there are many robbers on the road. He dared to send only 200 soldiers to escort this treasure on its way. Could it be that he doesn't know that the world is not peaceful now, let alone 100,000 yuan. Three or five thousand taels of silver can move people's hearts, and there will be many people who are willing to gamble with their lives. Not to mention these 100,000 yuan, I'm afraid that anyone who inquires about this matter is talking about the idea of this batch of treasures. If he could order three or five thousand soldiers and horses, it would be almost the same, and he would not be able to deter a large part of the people. Peace! ”
Zhu Wu shook his head when he heard it and said, "Big brother, you must know that the Zhao family robbed the Chai family by force, and the most fearful thing is that outsiders will do the same." Therefore, they are in control of the dispatch of the army, and only today's officials have the right to mobilize troops and horses. Cai Jing's dog thief dared to be openly greedy and blatantly evil, but the only thing he didn't dare was to get involved in the army. Otherwise, the Zhao family would definitely not tolerate him. Therefore, although Liang Zhongshu is Cai Jing's son-in-law, he does not dare to mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses to escort this birthday gang, for fear of committing the taboo of the Zhao family. If Cai Jing's opponent takes the opportunity to impeach, only Cai Jingjing will be deposed. These 200 soldiers are already the limit of Liang Zhongshu, and any more will cause the fear of the officials. ”
Hearing Zhu Wu's explanation, Shi Jin knew why Liang Zhongshu didn't send troops and horses to escort him, not because he didn't think of it, but because he didn't dare to do it.
Yang Zhi only brought a dozen people, and it was a last resort to disguise himself as a cargo bearer.
You must know that the imperial court picked up the elite soldiers from all over the country and turned them into forbidden troops, and the box soldiers were all old and weak remnants of the leftovers.
This soldier was originally weak, and it was useless to be missing. There are too many, and I dare not transfer.
In this case, it is better to take a few people in disguise and quietly pass through those dangerous places, which is even more hopeful.
Otherwise, you say that with 200 soldiers with little combat effectiveness, where can you hide your whereabouts!
It's not an obvious way to tell people that I have 100,000 in me.
Robbers from all walks of life, come if you want to grab it!
Shi Jin thought that Yang Zhi only brought a dozen strong men before, and Chao Gai was still a good citizen at that time, and he was afraid that there would be many people and he would not be able to hide his whereabouts, even if he grabbed it, it would be easy for the government to track it down, so he thought about outwitting it, hoping not to find out.
But now there are 200 soldiers, but I don't know if Chao Gai will dare to rob this batch of Birthday Gang.
But what they think, Shi Jin is not interested in knowing.
Shi Jin already decided in his heart that this money was his, and no one could snatch it away!
