In the Liangshan Village in June of the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty, there was silence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that when Wang Tu'er controlled Liangshanzhai, there were more than 700 households living in the village, which was almost comparable to a large town. When Lu Jinyi came, he gathered the displaced people from all over the world, and there were more than 20,000 people living in the village at most, plus various strongholds, sub-villages, and water villages, it was not a problem to gather 40,000 or 50,000 "troops".

This is also the reason why he was able to carry a large number of Liangshan thieves overseas.

But since he led people to attack Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and took the ship out to sea, Liangshanzhai weakened, and was set on fire by the officers and soldiers, and the fence and low wall were flattened.

A figure appeared in the ruins.

As he did, a few more people came over, and the number gradually increased, from a dozen, to dozens, and then to hundreds.

"Brother, this is Liang Shanzhai?"

"This is Liangshanzhai, let's kill the official, there is nowhere to go, we can only hide here!" A fat black man at the head of the group whispered to the people around him.

"Damn, the officials forced the people to rebel, we were so poor that we were tinkling, but they transported all the gold and silver they looted to Jingshi...... It's just that they robbed Yang Jian's greedy batch of gold and silver, but these dog officials are like mad dogs, biting us and not letting go! ”

The strong man scolded and scolded, but the fat black man didn't hear it, he looked at the other person beside him: "Brother Xie, you used to be the leader of the mountain, you know the reality of this mountain, you tell me, can this village be built again?" ”

The man who was called Brother Xie was a big man with a sharp head, and he looked left and right, his face sighing.

"When Wang Tu'er was the owner of the village, although there were occasional officers and soldiers to suppress it, but in such a dangerous place, where were the officers and soldiers willing to risk their lives to attack? Later, Lu Jinyi seized the foundation, but he tried in vain to go overseas to establish a country, and gave up the danger, so it was broken by the officers and soldiers...... We have to learn from Wang Tu'er, not Lu Jinyi, many brothers are happy here, that's no problem! The pointed man said.

"There is another one, don't provoke Zhou Quan, Lashanzhai and Lu Jinyi are all because of provoking Zhou Quan, so they didn't end well!" After saying that, he added.

He was originally a hunter in the mountains, because he had a good martial arts, so he was ordered by Wang Lun to be the leader, after Lu Jinyi captured Liangshan, Lu Jinyi was not allowed to reuse, and it was difficult to leave his homeland, and he didn't want to go overseas with Lu Jinyi, so he stayed. Later, the cottage was burned down by officers and soldiers, he wandered into the rivers and lakes, and got acquainted with a group of strongmen, but this time he came back, but he was very wanted by the government, and he had to come down here to avoid the limelight.

"Brother Wu, what do you think?" Black Humpty Dumpty asked the other man again.

"Brother Xie is right, we now have gold and silver in our hands, and there is no shortage of money and food, so let's hide in the stockade to avoid the limelight first." Brother Wu, who was wearing Xiucai's clothes, said.

"You guys be careful, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, where can the old officials of the Zhao family manage here! In my opinion, let's pull the flag and gather people, gather more brothers, enter Tokyo City, and let the elder brother of the Song family also sit in the palace, his grandmother's, the court built by the officials of the Zhao family is in the Great Song Dynasty, isn't this just for the elder brother of the Song family? ”

Fang Cai's loud voice howled again, the black fat short man frowned slightly, and the Wu brother next to him also shook his head.

"Why, you poor sour, do you think what I said makes no sense?" He yelled at Brother Wu with a loud voice.

"What Shi Saburo said has some truth, but it can't be done in front of him. It's not time yet...... Yang Jian's house wants to include the field, the traitors of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce want to plant cotton, Jingdong and the two roads are tossed by them to boil the people's resentment, fast next year, slow the year after tomorrow, the people who have lost their livelihood in the field, will rise up to rebel, at that time there is smoke everywhere, my brother will pull out the banner again, climb high and shout, gather hundreds of thousands, don't say that the Yellow Nest and the like, is the industry of Pei Gong, you can also get it! ”

"Who is Huang Chao, and what is Pei Gong?" That Shi Saburo nodded again and again when he heard it in front, but when he heard the back, he said dissatisfiedly: "Wu Xuexue, you scholars are talking about beating around the bush and giving people a headache!" ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense, since this place can be accommodated, let's live here first, recruit exiles to come and cultivate it, and we must not ask you and my brother to go to cultivate it personally!"

He said this, but his eyes flashed.

Wu Xuezhu is right, as a small official, he knows the situation of the boundary between Jingdong and Jingdong Road today.

First there was Yang Jian, and then there was the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, and the people's land was almost deprived. Ten years ago, forty percent of the land belonged to yeoman farmers, two percent belonged to small landlords, and the rest belonged to big landlords, but now, almost eighty percent of the land belonged to big landlords, and homesteaders were completely wiped out, and small landlords were also struggling to survive!

Behind these big landlords, either Yang Jian, the dead eunuch, or is inextricably linked to the Cotton Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention the fact that they had been deprived of their land, they employed only half as many tenant farmers as they had originally been, because of the extensive cultivation. In other words, it is extremely difficult for those poor people who have lost their land to help others now!

These landlords grew cotton and weaved cloth and sold it to the rich Jiangnan, or to the prosperous Jingshi, and even to foreign countries such as Liao, Goryeo, and Japan, to earn high profits, but the peasants who lost their land could only starve, and when they could not stand it anymore, they sold their wives and children.

Selling wives and children can last a year, but next year, how can farmers who have nothing left next year survive?

Begging, but when there is nowhere to go even to beg, rebellion is the only way out.

"We can't sit back and wait...... If that day comes, we will have to be prepared, with money, food, and weapons. The Wu scholar said slowly.

This was reasonable, and everyone nodded their heads again and again.

"Also, Mr. Wu, don't sell your son, you have always been wise in our life and death, and you will definitely not only have these arrangements."

"Brother Fang Cai is right, the government is mostly incompetent, but Zhou Quan's guy, as well as his son Zhou Fu, can fight! Lu Jinyi has tens of thousands of horses, and he is forced to go overseas, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, before we get into trouble, we have to calculate him! ”

Lu Jinyi went overseas and never returned, and the news of his defeat became untrue after it was transmitted back to the mainland. Some say he died at the hands of the Koreans, some say he built his own country overseas, and others say he was exterminated by the Great Song Dynasty. There is no definite news about this group of newcomers to Liangshan.

However, everyone didn't pay much attention to Lu Jinyi's fate, and paid more attention to what this Wu scholar said, calculating Zhou Quan.

Brother Xie was the first to change his face.

"Wu Xuexue, Zhou Fu, Zhou Quan's father and son, it's really not something we can provoke, I'm here to say a frustrating word, don't blame you, if everyone is sure to provoke the Zhou family's father and son, the brothers and I can only find a ravine to hide."

Brother Xie was afraid of Zhou Quan like a tiger, which surprised everyone, especially several big leaders, who exchanged glances with each other.

That Shi Saburo was a little disdainful, and spat out: "Xie Bao, I see that you are also a good man on weekdays, why did you pee when you heard Zhou Quan?" According to me, if he doesn't come to provoke us, I will screw his head off......"

Bang!

Before he finished speaking, the Xie brother burst into trouble, flew out with a kick, and directly kicked Shi Saburo into the air.

Shi Saburo was speaking wildly, he had never been guarded against his brother, he was kicked by this kick, he fell to the ground, cursed in his mouth, turned over and wanted to fight, but he could hear a brush, and a steel fork was pointed on his throat.

Xie Bao looked at him coldly and smiled disdainfully: "You just have two brute forces, thinking that you are really powerful?" Don't say that in the old days in Liangshanzhai, Lu Jinyi, Yan Xiaoyi, and the high-legged people were me, and killing such a fool as you was just a matter of three or two clicks...... Do you think we're all cowards and fools, and we're heroes? Tell you, you are such a waste, when you meet Zhou Quan, you can only do a big thing...... Brothers, it's not that I'm ruthless and ruthless, but this stupid thing is useless except to harm your brothers! ”

The black Humpty Dumpty man's eyes flickered twice, and Wu Xuexue next to him smiled lightly, and stepped forward to support Xie Bao's steel fork: "Brother Xie, Shi Sanlang is just a little reckless, he has never suffered a loss in the hands of Zhou Quan, and he is a little unaware of the height of the sky, why should Brother Xie be like a rough man with him?" Shi Saburo, quickly make amends to Brother Jie! ”

That Shi Saburo is not afraid of death, and his neck is raised: "If you have a kind, you will kill me!" ”

The black Humpty Dumpty next to him couldn't stand it anymore, Shi Saburo was not in a thousand ways, but there was one thing, he was loyal enough to him, and this alone was not a problem for any other problem.

"San Lang, you apologize to Brother Xie." He stepped forward.

As he spoke, he grabbed the steel fork of Xie Bao.

Shi Saburo turned over and glared at Xie Bao: "For my brother's sake, I don't care about you!" ”

Seeing that this guy was still hard-mouthed, Wu Xuexue shook his head, and then said to Xie Bao: "Brother Xie, what I said about calculating Zhou Quan is not to deal with him, but to praise him!" ”

"Hold him?" Everyone was stunned.

"Since ancient times, officials have been suspicious, and the current officials are no exception, let's praise Zhou Quan, saying that he is the stars and the people, how can the officials not be suspicious of him? He is not short of money or power now, and he is not short of armor and weapons, and he is not short of the state eunuchs. Let's praise him more, and he will be dizzy, maybe the young man will be proud of himself, and he will not know the inspection, and he is more likely to get carried away. ”

"What do you mean by being a pedant, to praise him among the people who have lost their land?" The black Humpty Dumpty said: "But what if the official family and him are not fooled? ”

"I can't help him not to be fooled, Brother Song family, the people have reached a dead end, and when they hear that only Zhou Quan can save them, they will naturally go to Liguo Jian and Haizhou. The local government is full of mediocre people, and they want these uneasy people to leave their own territory, but they are afraid that they will give these people escape certificates and give them away from the country. But when it comes to Liguo and Haizhou, where is there so much food to settle these people? When there is a slight incitement, for example, under the banner of Zhou Quan, these people will inevitably follow......"

When everyone heard this, they all gasped.

What a poisonous trick!

No matter how the official family and Zhou Quan reacted, as long as this plan was arranged, the court and Zhou Quan could only act according to Wu Xuexue's inference!

Only Shi Saburo, he is a rough man, he only knows how hard he doesn't know the severity, tilted his head and said, "Can you really wait until that day?" ”

"Of course, that day is not far off!" Wu Xuexue is very sure of authenticity. (To be continued.) )
