Chapter 40 Looking for Wang Jin, Benefits, and Sets

Because of the invincibility of the Liangshan army, the deterrence of gunpowder bullets and the continuous fire of the divine arm bow, and the fact that Li Qianshun had been awarded the head, the western thief army in the city had lost their hearts and courage, and they could no longer have the slightest will to resist.

So the next raid on the house naturally did not encounter much resistance, and even if there was occasional riots, they were quickly suppressed in the face of absolute strength.

So for three days in a row, all the soldiers of the Western Army besieging the city and the soldiers of Liangshan completely entered the carnival, which was simply a copy of the house until their hands were weak, and they moved money to their legs with cramps.

It is no wonder that although there are gold, silver and jewelry in this era, there are more copper coins.

Even if the money of the Great Song Dynasty, the most common small flat money in circulation is about four grams, one is worth one penny, and it has always been full of copper (the general folk popular province Mo, with a string of money seventy-seven for one hundred, and the actual has always been only seven hundred and seventy Wen, but here for good calculations, all use full copper) One thousand pieces are nearly four kilograms, about eight catties in later generations.

Suppose a wealthy family has 20,000 copper coins hidden in the cellar at home, as well as a number of other gold and silver, so that the weight of gold, silver and jewelry is not counted, and the 20,000 copper coins alone weigh almost 160,000 catties in later generations.

Assuming that a sergeant can carry 160 catties at a time, then the 20,000 copper coins alone will require 1,000 sergeants to carry them once, or 100 sergeants to carry them 10 times.

And how many aristocratic and rich people like the entire Xingqing Mansion are hundreds? The amount of work involved can be imagined.

It can be said that in this era, even grabbing money is hard work.

Not to mention that since Xingqing Mansion has been besieged for more than half a year, Li Qianshun can think of hiding the money in the palace treasury and the treasury, how could other nobles and rich people, as well as merchants in the city, not think of it?

So the torture and questioning of the rich and the search for and excavation of the cellar once again increased the workload of the soldiers of the Western Army and the soldiers of Liangshan.

And in the process, there were also many riots and human lives.

It is said that money is something outside the body, and these nobles and rich people in Xingqing Mansion have now become captives and slaves of the Song people, so what is there to give up on money?

But some people are reluctant, they just want to be lucky, thinking that if they can escape back, they can still live a good life with these treasures.

As a result, the stubborn resistance of these people was naturally only beaten half to death, and then forced to tell the place where the treasure was buried, and then killed by the angry Western Army soldiers.

How else can it be said that people die for money, and birds die for food?

These misers naturally deserved it, but once they saw blood, and under the stimulation of so many gold, silver and jewelry, everyone's emotions became extremely excited, and some things became uncontrollable.

For example, if you kill a family, you will kill all the families; Another example is to see these party nobles, the wives and concubines and daughters of wealthy businessmen in the city are beautiful, and they are *** women on the spot.

Many rebel armies in history, such as Li Zicheng's army, had relatively good military discipline at the beginning, and they also knew how to win the hearts of the people.

But once Li Zicheng's army defeated Beijing, military discipline and other things quickly disappeared.

At first, these peasant armies only robbed and raided the mansions of wealthy officials, but soon began to harass and rob the people, rape silver women, and do all kinds of evil.

The Western Army has poor military discipline, and it is a century-old blood feud with the Western thieves, so it is natural that there is no psychological burden to do these things.

Since that night, I don't know how many rich party members have been killed, their wives and daughters have all been robbed, and even many poor party members have been killed.

There is no way, the hatred between the two sides is too deep, the Western Army is quite restrained, if the Western thieves capture a city in Kansai, all the young and strong will be captured, and all the old and weak will be killed!

It was Tong Guan, Chongshi Dao, and Liu Fa, the upper echelons of the Western Army, who knew that it was not good to kill people at this time, but they couldn't completely restrain and prohibit it, so they had to turn a blind eye.

And the Liangshan Army, because the military discipline is extremely strict, and every Liangshan sergeant has undergone at least three months of strict training before becoming a soldier, he has already engraved discipline in his bones, even if Jin Shan is in front and the beauty is on the side, he does not dare to offend in the slightest.

Of course, this is also due to Lin Chong's early preparations, as early as the day before the siege, Lin Chong ordered instructors at all levels in the army, and the instructors repeatedly and strictly affirmed that they were not allowed to kill the captives and prisoners when they entered the city tomorrow, and they were not allowed to molest or even rape silver women...... Violators will not be spared immediately.

Although there were also many Khitans and Xi people in the Liangshan army, in their previous concepts, it was originally the right of the victor to annihilate and kill.

But at this time, there were officers and instructors from above staring, and at most they were just thinking about it in their hearts, but none of them dared to offend.

Not to mention killing people indiscriminately, raping silver women, even if they are privately hidden, they are almost seized, unlike the soldiers of the Western Army, which one is not full of gold and silver treasures?

So after the war, the city of Xingqing Mansion soon presented two different states, Dongcheng District was full of human tragedy, people were panicked, and the cry shook the sky.

However, the Xicheng District in charge of Liang Shanjun is quite peaceful, and the people's hearts are relatively calm.

Then there are many wealthy people and even ordinary people in Dongcheng District, who quietly come to Xicheng District in the middle of the night, at least they can save their lives here, and their wives and daughters will not be raped.

Of course, when the party members on both sides met, they naturally hugged their heads and cried and whispered.

“…… Don't you know, our side is too miserable, it's not enough for the Western Army to rob the gold and silver money, and they still kill people at every turn, and the family of Chengtian Temple Mi Jie Meile was all killed, except for the female dependents! ”

“…… In the past two days, the women who have been taken captive and insulted by the adulterous silver are not two thousand, but at least one thousand and fifteen, at first they were only the women of aristocratic and rich families, but now they are not spared even the commoners' daughters! ”

“…… I can see that our enmity with the Western Army has been too deep for decades, and if you think about it, there have been fewer captive troops running to Kansai for decades? Maybe these Han slaves who were snatched back had their fellow villagers or even brothers and sisters......"

“…… The Western Army is going to retaliate, how can they give up if they don't kill us all......"

However, among all the voices, there are naturally different opinions: "How did I hear that Tong Guan had promised His Majesty to surrender, but it was Liangshan Jun Lin Chong who refused to let us go, saying that there is no such cheap thing in the world, and that all party members should die!" Why doesn't Liang Shanjun kill people much now? ”

"I also heard that Tong Guan's family wanted to use our party to fight the Liangshan army, and then the Liangshan army Lin Chong was afraid that the Song Dynasty would surrender and our strength would increase greatly, so he insisted on attacking the city, and cut off the thumbs of all the party warriors!"

"What do you know? Even if Tong Guan really thinks so, don't forget, Tong Guan is not from Kansai, and he has no relatives who died in our hands; But these soldiers of the Western Army are different, for decades, which Western Army is not a blood feud with us? ”

"That's right, I heard that Your Majesty was killed by the Western Army, and at that time, Tong Guan wanted to escort His Majesty to their Tokyo Bianliang Prisoner Taimiao, but he was cut down by his personal guards, and in the end, Tong Guan didn't do anything to that person!"

"Also, Tong Guan is a eunuch sent by the emperor of the Song Dynasty to monitor the Western Army! I can't suppress this group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of the Western Army at all, and the person who wants to kill His Majesty is a blood enmity with us......"

"The Buddha is not blessed, now the Liangshan army can't tolerate us, and the Western Army wants to take revenge, is our party really going to destroy the clan and the species......"

Similar discussions happen every day, and Lin Chong naturally can't listen to them one by one, but he can guess some more or less.

That night, after counting the day's seizures and handling the military affairs at hand, Lin Chong called a secret agent of the special service army to inquire about the affairs of Dongcheng District.

"Shen Yang, is the Western Army in Dongcheng District still killing people now? Aren't you afraid that military discipline will become unmanageable if this continues? ”

"Today there are fewer killings, and there are fewer rape silver women, it is said that the old breed has passed down to give them three days to breathe out of their hearts, and now the anger is almost out, it's time to stop...... It's just that the party members over there are all frightened. ”

Lin Chong nodded, and then said: "In this way, tomorrow we will catch a few young men who escaped from Dongcheng District, let them feed us horses, and then spread the news among the captives, and talk more about the tragic things in Dongcheng District, just say that the Western thieves and the Western Army have a century-old feud, and the blood feud is too deep, and the Western Army will never let them go."

That's pretty much what it means anyway, and then you find a way to get a few captives and grooms out, you know how to do it, right? ”

Shen Yang's eyes lit up, and he reacted immediately, and then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, military master, we can't do anything better than this......"

"Then do it! Do a good job and don't let it down! ”

When Shen Yang heard this, he immediately blushed excitedly, and went happily with a military salute.

Lin Chong then also came out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and took Wang Feiyu, Yang Zaixing, Yang Shirong, Luo Ziqin and others to inspect and walk in the camp, while gossiping, and walked to Shi Jin's camp, but saw Shi Jin alone with the three-pointed two-edged knife, I don't know what I was thinking.

Lin Chong walked over and asked, "Brother Shi, if you want to open some, Sect Leader Wang must be fine......

It turned out that since Gao Yu was captured alive and learned the news of Wang Jin from his mouth, Liang Shanjun sent many secret agents to the vicinity of Hezhou in Guanxi to inquire about Wang Jin's news, but there was no progress at all.

After arriving in Guanxi, Lin Chong asked Shi Jin to stay near Xingqing Mansion, and Shi Jin also asked people to inquire about the Daoist and the Planter many times, but the result was still that since Wang Jin Hezhou killed more than a dozen masters sent by Gao Yu and three of Tong Guan's subordinates, there has been no news.

After Lin Chong came back from defeating Brother Richard, he summed up these news, and there were a lot of doubts, it is said that Wang Jin is a big living person, and he shouldn't have no trace at all, could it be that he has been killed by someone?

You must know that Kansai is Tong Guan's territory, when Wang Jin was in Hezhou, he not only killed more than a dozen killers sent by Gao Yu in a fit of anger, but also killed three of Tong Guan's subordinates, if Tong Guan wanted to kill Wang Jin, it should still be easy.

So after breaking through Xingqing Mansion, when he went to talk to Tong Guan about the conditions and Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Wu Lan were going to come over, Lin Chong also mentioned Wang Jin by the way.

At that time, Lin Chong not only had Li Renai, the prince of Western Xia, but also the jade seal, jade book, and golden book of Western Xia, which represented the imperial power of Western Xia, and Tong Guan must be dedicated to Emperor Zhao Ji, otherwise Tong Guan's attack on destroying the country in Western Xia this time would not be complete.

But these symbolic things are almost worthless to Lin Chong, so Lin Chong used these to negotiate with Tong Guan, not only to come to Han Shizhong and the three people, but also to come to the land of Hetao (in fact, it has become an established fact, Tong Guan did not dare to turn his face and could only pinch his nose to admit it), and asked about Wang Jin's whereabouts by the way.

As a result, Tong Guan's answer was also simple - Ben Shuai did send someone to find Wang Jin again, but he couldn't trace his traces after searching all over Hezhou......

Lin Chong thought about it, and in the end he could only believe Tong Guan's words, and he also felt that what he said made sense.

The reason why Gao Yu's people were able to track Wang Jin all the way in the past was because Wang Jin still had this old mother with him, and he couldn't go fast, and the goals of the mother and son were very easy to identify; After Wang Jin was alone, the difficulty of tracking immediately increased geometrically, and it was normal to not find it.

But it's not impossible to be killed.

If he was still alive, how could he not know the strong rise of Liang Shanjun, Lin Chong and his apprentice Shi Jin had been looking for him......

Shi Jin naturally understands these truths, he is always a little depressed these days, and he starts to practice martial arts whenever he has free time, reviewing the eighteen martial arts and weapons taught by Wang Jin, recalling Wang Jin's guidance to him, selflessly teaching, and feeling that there is no better master in the world than him.

Seeing Lin Chong coming, Shi Jin quickly walked out of the memory killing, nodded and said, "Master Jiren Tianxiang, it must be fine, I just miss him a little." ”

Lin Chong also didn't know how to comfort him at this time.

Although he didn't have much friendship with Wang Jin, he still dealt with him a few times, and he admired it in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Jin's teaching level alone is far stronger than Lin Chong, whether it is the current Lin Chong or the original Lin Chong.

And Wang Jin also has an advantage, that is, he never hides his selfishness, but someone sincerely asks for advice, and he always gives it to him, never saying that he will keep a hand.

Because of this, all the generals and colonels of the Western Army who came to Bianjing, all of whom consulted him, benefited a lot, and all remembered his good in their hearts.

Such a talent, if invited to the Liangshan army, will undoubtedly be a great improvement to the martial arts level of the Liangshan generals.

It's a pity......

Lin Chong sighed imperceptibly, and He Shijin chatted a few words, and then took Yang Zaixing away, at this time, Yang Zaixing, who was straightforward, couldn't help but say: "Brother, I see that Wang Jiaotou was killed by Tong Guan's gang!"

It's also breathless to say, the court can't tolerate someone as good as Wang Jiaotou, this court really deserves to die! A big traitor like Tong Guan should be killed directly, and his brother gave him the jade seal, the golden book, the jade book, and Tong Guan, so many benefits to the court! ”

Lin Chong knew what Yang Zaixing was talking about, and couldn't help sneering when he heard this: "I gave a benefit, but this benefit, is it so easy to get?" ”
