Chapter 72 Effectiveness

After saying a few words, Jiang Shiyi, the big boss, nodded again and again. "That's right! Anyway, the imperial court will never let them be stuck on the canal forever. Since you have to fight sooner or later, it is better to have a good time, even if you lose, there will be latecomers who will regain the battle flag! ”

"So the third child, you can't wait to hand over the official ship to them? That's good! If they can take a bad breath for the Han family, it will not be in vain for our support today! Although the deputy gang leader Long Er was still not optimistic about the future of the Xuzhou Red Turban Army, he also recognized Chang Sanshi's previous actions and no longer accused him of being too hasty in leading the Red Turban Army to the dock in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Chang Sanshi's opinion was much deeper than the other two, he smiled, and continued: "If I just raised a relieving banner, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to rush back!" Big brother, second brother, let me ask you, although the scale and strength of our boat gang are not bad, from the government to the rivers and lakes, has anyone ever looked at us with a straight eye? ”

"This--a-a!!" It's good that he didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned it, the other two masters sighed at each other. As the saying goes, if you don't die, you should be killed. In this ninth-rate business, those who operate cars and boats and sell coolies are the most despised. Seeing that the boat gang controls a canal up and down, they want money and people, but they have no status.

In the eyes of the government, they are just a group of bitter people who work hard to eat. In the eyes of the traders on the canal, in addition to being coolies, they also have another type of ruffian who does not do their jobs. In the eyes of the real gangsters and robbers in the green forest, they have become a group of gangsters who can help everyone sell stolen goods and find out the news. In short, you can't get on the stage anywhere, and no one really takes them seriously!

"But that Zhu Eighty-one promised to talk to us face-to-face about how to pass the Red Turban Army on the canal after returning to Xuzhou!" The more Chang Sanshi spoke, the more excited he became, and there were faint tears in his eyes. "Big brother, second brother, back then, you risked being killed to help Monk Peng evade the pursuit of the government, did he Monk Peng look at you with a straight eye except for those days when he asked for you? A few years ago, the Yellow River flooded, and our boat gang worked hard to help the government transport the grain to Dadu safely. Those officials and gentlemen, when they are willing to collect taxes, discuss with us how to collect them, how to make the fleet go more smoothly? But that Zhu Eighty-one really treats us as human beings. That's why I'm willing to do my best to help him! ”

"Hmm!" The big boss Jiang Shiyi stroked his beard with his hands and groaned in a low voice. The official who controlled the checkpoint discussed with the team that cleared the customs how to collect money and how to pass the customs, which was indeed a new move that he had never heard of. But to think that the Red Turban Army glanced at the boat gang is a bit wishful thinking. After all, the specific rules and tax rates still need to be discussed by both parties. Now that the knife is in someone's hands, how dare the boat gang speak too loudly?!

"At the beginning of the incident, it is natural for heroes and heroes to deliberately lower their stature and make friends in the rivers and lakes!" The deputy gang leader Long Er also felt that Zhu Eighty-one's kindness to the boat gang was a little too heavy, which made them a little unbearable, and sighed with a little regret.

"I didn't deliberately lower my figure!" Chang Sanshi shook his head vigorously, not knowing what to say, so that the two righteous brothers could know that Zhu Bayi was different, "It's low!" No, no, it's neither high nor low. No, still no. Second brother, otherwise you can go to Xuzhou by yourself in a few days. On the one hand, he discussed a charter with the Red Turban Army about customs clearance and tax collection, and on the other hand, he also went to see the Zhu Dudu with his own eyes. Anyway, I feel that he has never looked down on anyone, and he has no intention of contemplating anyone. Not only to us, but also to the stewards sent by the fortress. There is a lot of discussion, and I don't treat the other party as a lowly person! He, he really gave me the feeling that it was like what the Buddhist scriptures say, in his eyes, all beings are equal. Whether it is the emperor or the grass people, no one is a little shorter than the other! ”

"Nonsense!" The deputy gang leader Long Er couldn't cry or laugh, and retorted with a feather fan, "The equality of all beings in the Buddhist scriptures is said to be Buddha nature, not appearance." If all living beings are really equal, and the officials and the grass people are equal, wouldn't it be a big mess in the world?! You, the third child, just don't want to study hard! ”

After the rebuttal, I couldn't help but feel a little longing in my heart. If it was really the equality of all beings, when I took the imperial examination that year, I would not have lost my name to Sun Mountain again and again because the recommender was not hard enough. The 20,000 sons of this boat gang will also suffer a lot less white eyes. It's just that, in this way, who is willing to study hard to become an official?! Isn't everyone a stupid slob?!

Thinking about it in contradiction, he suddenly heard the big boss Jiang Shiyi say loudly: "Whether he is sincere or fake, since this surnamed Zhu is so giving us the boat gang face, we can't let the rivers and lakes laugh at it." Second, you go and prepare, and when you hear the news that Zhu Dudu has returned to Xuzhou, you will immediately take a boat to talk to him about it! ”

When Ryuuji heard this, he instinctively wanted to dodge at first. Immediately, there was a strong unwillingness in my heart. He arched his hand towards the big boss Jiang Shiyi, and responded loudly, "This, it's okay, Long will go to meet this Buddha!" ”

"The third child!" Jiang Shiyi nodded at him, and then turned his gaze to Chang Sanshi, "You pick a hundred people from the brothers who are burdened by no family background and have strong bones, and send them to Zhu Dudu early tomorrow morning." If the surname Zhu is really as you said, he is an immortal hero, and these hundred disciples will follow him, and sooner or later he will be able to come out with a few decent ones. At that time, as long as one or two of them do not forget their roots, our boat gang will be able to breathe a sigh of relief! ”

The reason why Chang Sanshi hurried back in a hurry, in addition to reporting the good news to Jiang Shiyi, was to persuade the other party to try his best to have a relationship with Zhu Bayi. At this moment, when I heard that the big boss decided to send his children to join the Xuzhou Red Turban Army, he immediately agreed loudly, "Yes!" Immediately, he added very seriously: "However, big brother, I'm afraid a hundred is less." I looked at that Wujiazhuang, and sent his family to the Red Turban Army in the name of being hostages, and I also brought a hundred Zhuang Ding with me. There are more than 20,000 men in our boat gang."

"There are not many people, the key is fine!" After all, it is an old Jianghu, Jiang Shiyi's eyes rolled, and he gave a very convincing response, "You said earlier that Zhu Dudu only has a thousand people in his hands at the moment, let's send more brothers, once the group is reported, won't it make it difficult for him?!" Besides, where there is a rebellion, there will be a success or a failure. In case the fate of the day is not on the side of the Red Turban Army, we have sent too many disciples, how can the government not come to the door after that?! You go and tell Zhu Dudu, let these hundred disciples try it first, if it works well, he can come to the canal at any time in the future to recruit troops. In this way, he can understand our intentions, and it will not leave too many hidden dangers. In the future, if he Zhu Dudu really rises to the top and needs to expand the team, the first thing he will definitely think of is our boat gang. And if he is really unlucky, he will naturally be embarrassed to open his mouth to us again! ”

"Helper-" Chang Sanshi was disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't find a good reason to refute it, so he had to make another concession and respond sheepishly: "The helper's method is naturally the most stable. Without further ado, little brother, I'm going down to pick someone. Where it is rude, I hope that the helper Haihan will be one! ”

"Go, go, you're such an anxious!" Jiang Shiyi laughed and waved his hand, signaling Chang Sanshi to leave on his own. Seeing the other party's figure disappear on the dock, he turned his face again, and sighed faintly at the other deputy gang leader, Long Er, "The third child of our family, I think, I'm afraid I can't go back to the canal anymore!" ”

"The third child is originally two younger than you and me, and he is an impulsive person. It is normal to be fooled by a few big words from Zhu Butcher! The deputy gang leader Long Er shook his feather fan, and the cool breeze was blowing, "However, as the saying goes, it will be popular for a long time." When he dealt with the surnamed Zhu a lot, he naturally understood whether what the other party said was the truth. At that time, my mind must have fallen on the canal! ”

"Well, I hope so! Alas! Jiang Shiyi sighed again, and it was not a good feeling in his heart.

He has been dating Chang Sanshi for so many years, and nothing good has ever left each other behind. Who would have thought that after many years of undressing and eating each other, it was not as good as a few words of arrogance from others. No matter who it falls on, I am afraid that it will not be able to see it too openly.

However, everyone has their own ambitions, and there are many years of friendship there, and he can't do anything out of the ordinary. staring at the smoky dock and thinking sullenly for a while, he suddenly sighed again and commanded in a low voice, "Don't worry about the third child first, there is something important that has to fall on your head." ”

"The big boss commands!" The deputy gang leader, Ryuuji, took half a step back and put his hand on the feather fan to bow down in a gesture.

"A few days ago, the brothers in the south sent news that there was a high-ranking official surnamed Lu who recruited more than 30,000 salt rods in Huainan, and it was said that he would take him to fight Xuzhou. Grain, grass, baggage, etc., it is said that they have been loaded on the ship at Gaoyou. I estimate that in another ten days and a half months, they should climb to the bottom of Xuzhou City. If this news is accidentally obtained by Sesame Lee's spies, you say, will he win a little cleaner! ”

"This" Ryuuji, the deputy gang leader, hesitated for a moment, and immediately laughed like a fox who had just finished stealing chickens, "Of course." I heard that the spies under Sesame Li are very powerful, and there is nothing that can escape their ears and eyes within a radius of 500 miles outside Xuzhou City! Alas, I don't know if this thing is rumored to be true?! ”
