Chapter 258: Turning the River Dragon

In the quiet night, the water is rippling in the microwave. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The breeze blows, and the reeds sway with the wind.

It's just that this kind of scenery is not a novelty for those who are used to living in the water. Perhaps only those who have never seen a lake will sigh. Well, including literati.

Under the foothills of Liangshan Mountain, it stretches into the water. A tall water village stands along the gate, compared to the Han of the Great Shun Water Division, the water thieves are more like the right sailors.

Outside the water village, the warships are horizontal, and the flags are hunting. A rough count shows that the tall warships are not below more than 200, and the rest of the small boats are like schools of fish in the water, densely docked farther away.

The sentry tower close to the gate of the water village is also built by the mountain, which is condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even at night, the shouting and scolding from the water village can be faintly heard more than ten miles away, which shows how many water thieves have gathered on this Liang Mountain.

It is no wonder that the martial arts style of Dashun is prevalent, although the court emphasizes literature and suppresses martial arts, but the folk chivalrous are very popular. Even in the Northern Song Dynasty in official history, this is also the case. After experiencing the turmoil of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the people of the Northern Song Dynasty were mostly proud of their martial arts. Otherwise, in troubled times, there is no power to protect yourself, which is a very dangerous thing. It is rumored that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts are also very high, and he once passed down Taizu's long fist.

The situation of Dashun is different, because the former dynasty was founded by the Hu people, although it was sinicized, the concept of respecting martial arts is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The reason why Dashun respects literature and suppresses military force is just to eliminate the influence of the previous dynasty and win people's hearts. But the consequence of overcorrection is that only more than 50 years after the founding of the country, the alien race has been bullied to the doorstep. It was impossible to change to the previous dynasty, and the Central Plains Dynasty didn't bully others, so how could it let the barbarians run rampant?

The next 50 years or so were nothing more than a process of stabilizing people's hearts and minds, trying to eliminate the influence of the previous dynasty. This also made the imperial examination more popular, and Enke opened almost every two years, in comparison, it was difficult for martial artists to even get ahead.

But the folk and martial arts are prevalent, the "knights" have no future, and they are unwilling to farm, is there a better way out except to fall into the grass and occupy the mountain as the king?

To be a soldier? You are nothing more than cannon fodder, on a battlefield where arrows are flying, and one hangs up without paying attention. It's better to drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in a big piece, and weigh the pride of money!

Why are there so many shear-cut cockroaches in Dashun? The root is here! Suppressing bandits is not the goal, propaganda politics is. Lu Chengqi has long understood the thoughts of the Dashun martial artists, and with the Supervision Department, there are few things that Lu Chengqi wants to know but can't know in Dashun.

Wars are not fought on a whim, but for the sake of political significance. If Lu Chengqi regrets which famous general is the most, it is Yue Fei. He has great skills, but he doesn't understand politics. He was bent on attacking the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom was indeed defeated by him, and he was only one step away from recovering the rivers and mountains. However, what he was thinking about was to welcome back the two emperors Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, where would he put the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Gou? After the second emperor returned, were they emperors, or were Zhao Gou emperors?

Yue Fei is a martial artist, where does he understand the truth? Loyal to the country, he did it to serve the country with loyalty, but unfortunately he was not recognized by the heavenly family. Qin Hui just took the black pot for Zhao Gou, and it was not Qin Hui who really wanted to kill Yue Fei, but Zhao Gou. Without Zhao Gou's acquiescence, can Qin Hui issue thirteen gold medals in a row?

The truth of history is always covered up, and only after empathizing can we speculate. Lu Chengqi's suppression of bandits this time was also for his political purposes. The first is to eliminate bandits, this is true, and it is also for the sake of the people. The second is to clear the trade routes, so that commerce can develop better. Third, no one could have imagined that this was a trap set by Lu Chengqi for the sake of Daxing Sailors.

Why did Lu Chenhuan just pacify the Taiyuan royal family, and was sent by Lu Chengqi to the water in Dongping Mansion on Shandong Road to suppress water thieves? Knowing that the forbidden army is all infantry, and sending them to fight water thieves, isn't this based on their own shortcomings and their strengths in attacking the enemy!

Could Lu Chengqi be so devoid of common sense?

Of course not, naturally Lu Fatzi felt that this matter was not feasible, and then he said that he would send a sailor to encircle and suppress it, but he couldn't do it himself. In that case, Lu Chengqi will be able to take advantage of the topic and make a big splash.

Even if Lu Fatzi didn't play a good job, Lu Chengqi could "lay out the facts and reason", exaggerate the strength of the water thieves, and block the mouths of the civil officials, so that he could achieve his goal. Lu Chengqi also learned this trick from the later generations of Mi Guo, didn't they always talk about ********** and ask for an increase in military spending? Unlike the United States, which wants to ask for money through Congress, what Lu Chengqi has to do is just to gag the mouths of civil officials.

These civil officials are too good at taking advantage of the topic, and they can't say that Lu Chengqi has to follow suit.

At this time, Liangshan Shui Zhai has long been occupied by people who occupy the mountain as the king. In "Water Margin", Chao Gai also replaced Wang Lun's position and became the owner of Liangshan. Since the Liangshan Shuibo, water thieves have become popular. All because of the dangerous terrain of Liangshan, there is water in front, and the mountain is back, and the mountain road in Liangshan is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And now the one who occupies Liangshan is called the Flying Fish Gang, and the gang leader is called Chuanjiang Long, and his original name is You Jun. It is rumored that this person can hold his breath in the water for half an hour, and the water nature is excellent, so he has the nickname of the dragon who turns the river.

At this moment, Chuanjianglong quietly listened to the report of his minions, and heard that nearly 50,000 forbidden troops were coming to crusade, and when there was no warship, he snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Dashun is also exhausted when he thinks about it, and he still wants to attack me without a ship?" This little emperor is also a stupid man, what am I afraid of him if he doesn't have a boat! ā€

There are also masters in this gang of water thieves, or the previous owner of the village is a master, and the plaque on this hall reads "Juyi Hall". You Jun sat on the first chair in the center of the Gathering Hall, supported one foot, and was full of arrogance. More than 20 bright candlesticks illuminated the hall of righteousness. You Jun, who was sitting in the highest position, could see the expressions of everyone in the hall clearly at a glance.

The minions in front of him told the movements of the officials and soldiers in the past few days, and You Jun sneered when he heard it. As a water thief leader, You Jun knows the importance of warships on the water. Without a boat, no amount of people will help. If the officers and soldiers want to suppress it, they just drill into the water. Anyway, the officers and soldiers don't have ships, where can they be beaten!

Previously, Shui Bo had not yet become a force, and he was able to contend with the Great Shun Water Division. At this moment, the Flying Fish Gang is huge, with more than 5,000 minions under it, more than 300 warships, and countless small boats. Swords, guns, bows, and crossbows, you name it. Grain and grass can support for half a year, even if the food is out, you can still fish to survive, what's the big deal!

You Jun didn't have the confidence to confront the forbidden army head-on on land, but in the water, You Jun was not afraid. A forbidden army without a boat is a toothless tiger, just a little scary, but it can't bite people.

As soon as You Jun said this, the leaders of the water thieves sitting in the chairs below also laughed. Officers and soldiers don't need to be afraid, this is the foundation for the growth of water thieves. During the Yuanshou period, the sailor came to suppress it, is it not the same that he was beaten away by them! This time the forbidden army returns, presumably the result will be the same.
