Chapter Seventy-Seven: Deterrence, Exchange of Interests
In the early morning four days later, in front of Hujiazhuang, Lin Chong was ready to attack Zhujiazhuang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the past few days, the Liangshan Army has successively assembled four infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, and four recruit battalions in Hujiazhuang.
The Shenji battalion also brought twelve new catapults from the mountains.
Although the city wall of Zhujiazhuang is much taller and stronger than that of Hujiazhuang, it is completely inadequate in front of the new catapult of the Liangshan army.
Everything is ready, only one reason for combat dispatch and combat mobilization is owed.
For this, Lin Chong is also more concerned.
Lin Chong must repeatedly emphasize that the Liangshan Army is not a robber who robs homes and houses, and goes down the mountain to borrow grain, but to eliminate harm for the people, and at the same time, it is also to declare to the world that the Liangshan Army cannot be humiliated.
"I said early in the morning that I wanted to fight Zhujiazhuang, but who of you knows, why do you have to fight Zhujiazhuang?"
Lin Chong stood on a small platform in front of Hujiazhuang, and asked loudly in front of the nine battalions of the Liangshan Army (and one cavalry battalion was in Zhujiazhuang) who were ready to go and standing in a square formation, surrounded by a large group of Hujiazhuang people watching the excitement.
"Report!" A soldier raised his hand in salute.
"Please!"
"Report to the army master, our Liangshan army wants to attack Zhujiazhuang because Zhujiazhuang first arrested our Liangshan army for no reason, and also threatened to fill in the water and arrest us all.
After that, the military master went to ask for someone, and Zhu Biao was treacherous again, and put a cold arrow behind his back to plot against the military master! ”
Lin Chong nodded, smiled and asked him to return to the team: "This brother is right, Zhujiazhuang is so rude, he bullied our Liang Shanjun plainly."
How can our Liangshan Army be bullied? Naturally, I want to make him pay the price, so that the people of the world will not dare to despise my Liangshan Army again.
However, this brother still missed an important point, that is, we must eliminate harm for the people, so that the people of the world can see the fate of the landlords and bullies who are not benevolent, oppress the good, and harm their neighbors!
Otherwise, wouldn't the banner on Liangshan that stood for the way of heaven be hung in vain? ”
While talking, more than a dozen villagers who were found from Zhujiazhuang yesterday, as well as the original Hanjialu, were invited to the stage and began to talk about how Zhujiazhuang oppressed and bullied them.
Because they were specially singled out, almost all of these dozen people have a blood feud with the Zhu family, and some wives and daughters in the family were insulted by the people of the Zhu family; There are also those who were beaten and brutalized to death by the Zhu family......
But what is more about how the Zhu family took advantage of it, forcing them to have no way to survive when they were originally self-cultivated farmers, and finally they could only sell the land to Zhujiazhuang at a low price, and since then they have become tenants of Zhujiazhuang and let them bully.
In the Liangshan army, most of them were children of tenant farmers, so they naturally felt the same way about this, and they were all emotional for a while, and their eyes turned red.
Especially the hundreds of recruits who turned out to be Zhujiazhuang Zhuangke, many of them remembered their tragic experience, and the life they lived like slaves in Zhujiazhuang, and many couldn't help crying.
Lin Chong saw that everyone's emotions were mobilized, and it basically had the effect of the later generations complaining conference, and when they finished speaking, Lin Chong said loudly; "Everyone has heard that Zhujiazhuang is so rich and unkind, oppresses the good, and is heinous in crime!
The government will not take care of such a thing, since our Liangshan Army has raised the banner of doing the right thing for the sky, you say, should we take care of it? Do you want to get justice for these oppressed villagers? ”
"Yes! Absolutely! Thousands of people chanted in unison.
"Zhujiazhuang first arrested our people for no reason, and then put cold arrows behind his back to hurt people, and then attacked my camp at night.
Now I gave them one last chance, telling them to surrender within ten days, but they ignored it, Zhujiazhuang despised me so much, contempt for me and the soldiers of my Liangshan army, you say, can we bear it? ”
The shouting was louder: "Can't bear it, can't bear it!" ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"Send troops, set foot on Zhujiazhuang, and capture Zhu Chaofeng alive!"
"Send troops, set foot on Zhujiazhuang, and capture Zhu Chaofeng alive!"
The voices of thousands of people reached their peak at once, and the shouts resounded like a tsunami, shaking the people around the ceremony.
Especially Li Ying, the owner of Lijiazhuang who was invited by Lin Chong.
The first time Lin Chong went to call him, Li Ying deliberately didn't see him, but after Liang Shanjun showed his strength, Lin Chong only asked Hu Cheng to write a letter yesterday, and this product came here today, and he apologized vigorously.
At this time, hearing the huge sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami, and feeling the fanatical emotions of more than 4,000 Liangshan soldiers, Li Ying, who had a small abacus in his heart, couldn't help but turn pale with fright, his legs and feet were weak, and even his breathing became difficult.
Although Li Jiazhuang is okay, he has not offended Liang Shanjun, and the oppression of tenants and villagers is not as serious as that of Zhujiazhuang.
But everyone is a big landowner, who dares to guarantee that there is no such thing as a similar thing in the Li family?
In case Liang Shanjun finds one or two households like Lijiazhuang, and wants to beat Lijiazhuang under the banner of eliminating harm and avenging the people for Tianxingdao, how can this be good?
Thinking of this, in the middle of winter, the snow on the ground has not disappeared, but Li Ying's forehead can't help but burst into a cold sweat.
At this moment, I saw that the soldiers of the first battalion of the Liangshan Army had already saluted the "forest leopard" one by one, and then marched.
Just listen to the collision of the nail leaves, sonorous and loud, only to see the blades like a forest, the sun is shining, these soldiers of the Liangshan army, even in the march, are the array is neat to the extreme, and the steps are neat to the extreme.
The demeanor of the strong army, the spirit of slaughter is simply rushing to the face, which makes people tremble.
It wasn't until a long time later that Li Ying reacted from the huge shock, turned around and found Hu Cheng and said in a low voice: "Brother Hu Cheng, what does Liang Shanjun mean by this?" ”
In the past few days, Lin Chong has been stationed in Hujiazhuang for half of the time, and many things have been settled with Hujiazhuang.
Seeing Li Yinglai asking, Hu Cheng naturally knew what he was worried about, so he hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Brother Li, don't worry, Liang Shanjun is not hostile to Li Jiazhuang, and these words today are not aimed at Li Jiazhuang. ”
Li Yingjian said that he was relieved, but he heard Hu Cheng say again: "It's not ......"
"But what?" Li Ying was a little frightened.
Hu Chengdao: "But I listen to what Lord Lin Jun means, although Liang Shanjun is not aimed at Li Jiazhuang, he also hopes that Li Jiazhuang can be encouraged if there is none, and if there is a change." ”
Li Ying relaxed again, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "This is natural, I will investigate thoroughly when I go back, if my Li Jiazhuang also has such a bullying thing, I will not tolerate it; Those tenants who have been bullied, I will personally go to the door to apologize......"
As soon as Li Ying's words were finished, he didn't want to be Hu Cheng, but he smiled, took his hand and said, "It's not a secret, in fact, Master Lin has something for me to discuss with Brother Li." ”
"What?" Li Ying's heart suddenly rose again.
"Local rent, Lord Lin wants us to reduce the rent to less than three and a half percent, that is, three and a half percent of the rent for small customers and three percent for cattle customers."
The sweat on Li Ying's forehead came out again, and Hu Cheng said it well, but today the Liangshan army attacked Zhujiazhuang and went on an expedition, but this Lin Leopard specially called himself to watch the ceremony, obviously to give himself a dismount.
said that it was a discussion, but if he dared to refuse, who would dare to guarantee that Liang Shanjun would not come to attack his own Lijiazhuang under the banner of acting for Tianxingdao?
For today's plan, I can only grit my teeth and agree first.
"Okay, I promised, I'll change my ...... when I go back"
Hu Cheng couldn't help laughing, he looked at Li Ying and said, "Why didn't Brother Li ask Liang Shanjun about the exchange of benefits?" ”
"What kind of exchange?" Li Ying was confused when he heard it.
