Chapter 205: The Man Who Doesn't Speak of Righteousness
When Hua Rong said a lot of words about loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, loyalty and righteousness first, all traitors and corrupt officials deceived the saints, Lin Chong knew that it was impossible for Hua Rong to be persuaded by himself.
The result was exactly the same as Lin Chong guessed, as early as five years ago, when Hua Rong was still a sixteen-year-old boy, Song Jiang had a long conversation with him.
At that time, Hua Rong also saw a lot of darkness in society, complaining endlessly, like a confused child. But Song Jiang is like a gentle elder, his words are like a light in the dark, giving Hua Rong great encouragement and making him see hope,
Especially Song Jiang, as a small official in Yuncheng, has a splendid mind, lofty ambitions, and often serves the country with loyalty and righteousness, and wants to have a great feeling of being famous in history and the world, which simply makes Hua Rong admire him so much.
Brother Song Jiang is so noble and great, compared to those flies and dogs around him, he is so good to heaven.
Since then, Song Jiang has become Hua Rong's idol in his life.
As a later generation, Lin Chong naturally understands how powerful this kind of worship and even belief formed in his youth is, and it can basically be said that Hua Rong is Song Jiang's brainless fan, and Song Jiang has been preconceived in his mind, so it is superfluous to say anything by himself.
At that moment, Lin Chong no longer argued with Hua Rong about this, but just said some of the lofty plans of the Liangshan Army, and scolded a few corrupt officials with him (this time he didn't scold Zhao Ji) to resonate with him, and then left overnight.
"Brother, this Hua Rong is the head of elm, Zhao Ji is all stupid like this, he also thinks that Zhao Ji is just blinded, and he still wants to serve the country, but is serving the country to serve Zhao Ji, the faint king? It is the people of the world who are suffering now! ”
"That's what I'm saying, this Hua Rong is so unreasonable, why does my brother value him so much......"
"I don't necessarily know how good this Huarong archery is, why doesn't my brother stay overnight, and my younger brother still wants to try it with him tomorrow morning......"
Out of Qingfeng Town, Wang Feiyu and Pang Wanchun couldn't help but "complain", of course, the spearhead was aimed at Hua Rong, but Lin Chong smelled a strong vinegar smell from inside.
Yes, he values Hua Rong so much, and Pang Wanchun will inevitably have thoughts in his heart.
"It's not that I value him so much, isn't that a good thing? I also have dates and no dates, if he is moved by me, won't our Liangshan Army have one more good brother?
It's a pity that there are still too many people in the world who think like him, and our Liangshan Army has a long way to go to win the hearts and minds of the people and the general righteousness......"
Seeing Lin Chong sigh, several people were stunned for a moment, and were about to say something nice, but they heard Lin Chong say again: "So we have to do better, so as to show more that Zhao Song is not good, if we recover Yanyun, we have really laid a big territory overseas, and ...... at that time."
In fact, Lin Chong already had his own plans, the reason why the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts still had so many hearts was because the scholars, humanities, officials, and doctors had the right to speak, because the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts were too good to them, and these people would naturally say good things about the Great Song Dynasty, but these people were not irreplaceable.
The people who supported the Liangshan Army the most were the ordinary people who had benefited from the Liangshan Army, the tenant farmers who were oppressed, although these people were much more numerous than the civilian officials and doctors, but these people had no right to speak.
But Liang Shanjun can be cultivated now, and more schools can be opened to teach students, there are always some scholars like Lu Jiang, Wen Huanzhang and Zhao Xuan, who are teachers and teach a large number of students.
When the Jurchen problem is solved, Liang Shanjun has also won more righteousness and people's hearts, and then opened a film with Zhao Song and laid down the country, are you afraid that no literati will come to take refuge? Lin Chong didn't believe they could have many disciplines.
When the time comes, the scholars who have cultivated themselves, plus the literati who have taken the initiative to take refuge, and the state apparatus in their own hands, what waves can the remaining scholars who have lost their power who are still "looking to the Great Song Dynasty" turn over? At most, in the anthology, it is just a subtle or blatant smear of yourself, will you care?
Therefore, in fact, Lin Chong didn't take this too seriously at all, saying this was just to change the topic and motivate a few people at the same time.
Sure enough, the four of them were suddenly excited by Lin Chong's words.
"Brother, our Liangshan Army not only wants to recover Yanyun, but also to lay a big territory overseas?"
"If that's the case, then don't we want to be famous for all eternity?"
"Follow my brother, I will definitely be able to ......"
"Brother, where are we going to fight......"
Several people were so excited that they looked forward to the future of Goryeo, Wa, and Ryukyu...... The glory that went down in history, I couldn't sleep with excitement.
However, Lin Chong had a lot on his mind, slept until dawn, and then continued to march towards Dengzhou with a thousand light horses.
The march of the Liangshan army was very fast, and Liangshan was about a little more than 1,200 miles away from Dengzhou, and Lin Chong and others traveled all the way day and night, and it took four and a half days to arrive at a mountain col fifteen miles outside Dengzhou at the end of the same night.
And before that, Lin Chong had already sent Ma Ling and several elites from the special operations battalion to take the lead and go to investigate the situation of Dengzhou City and Dengzhou Water Division.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, he didn't let Lin Chong wait too long, and Ma Ling came back with the information he had sought.
"Brother, I went to Dengzhou City to see, that Wang Shizhong may know the news of the imperial court's two-way army attacking Liangshan, and feel that Liangshan is too far away from Dengzhou, so the entire Dengzhou City can be said to be completely defenseless.
There are a total of two battalions of infantry troops stationed in Dengzhou City, responsible for guarding the four city gates, garrisoning the barracks, and the official servants in the yamen add up to one hundred and forty or fifty, and there is no combat effectiveness, that is, there is a soldier and horse in the city, that is, the junior brother of the Luan brothers, and they all say that he is very ......good at martial arts."
Lin Chong nodded, Sun Li was in Dengzhou, and Lin Chong naturally knew about it.
When he was going to send gold to Wang Shizhong, Lin Chong originally planned to let Xu Guanzhong go, but later after the Gaotang Prefecture incident, Xu Guanzhong became a military advisor with the army, Luan Tingyu said that he had a junior brother who was a soldier in Dengzhou, and said that he could go, Lin Chong thought about it and agreed.
Later, Luan Tingyu talked about how Sun Li was so strong and wanted to pull Sun Li to Shangliang Mountain together to gather righteousness, but Lin Chong thought about it for a while but gave it no.
In the original Water Margin story, Sun Li's impression of Lin Chong was too bad, too unrighteous, too cold-blooded and selfish, Lin Chong really didn't want such a person to go up the mountain and call himself a brother.
As for Luan Tingyu's skills, first, Liangshanjun is not short of fierce generals now, and second, Sun Li is actually not too good in martial arts.
But in the original story, he first pretended to be deaf and dumb and sat back and watched his cousin Xie Zhen and Xie Bao being killed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials; Later, he ruthlessly betrayed his senior brother Luan Tingyu in Liangshan, but Lin Chong was really impressed.
