Chapter 139 **Dong Ping
In the blink of an eye, in the second year of Xuanhe, the imperial court repeatedly suppressed Tian Hu and Wang Qingdu, and let Tian Hu and Wang Qing develop some forces, but neither of them had any eloquence, and most of them were nearby robbers, and their soldiers and horses were also bandits. Although the two also learned from Liangshan to kill big families and get money and food, they couldn't restrain the soldiers and horses under their command, and the people were still harassed badly.
At the beginning, the people still counted on Tian Hu and Wang Qing to rescue them, but later the people found out that the two were actually two thieves, and no one was willing to lure the wolf into the house anymore.
However, the people did not have confidence in the forbidden army of the imperial court, and did not help the imperial court to guard the city, so as not to be settled by Tian Hu and Wang Qing afterwards.
There are people who fled the places where Tian Hu and Wang Qing made trouble, and there are also people who accept their fate and continue their lives, anyway, they don't have much food to be robbed.
In February, after the water was thawed, Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Shun led the fleet to sea again.
After establishing a complete sales channel, the navy army was divided into two branches and took turns to transport wine to Liaojin.
The Golden Beach Water Village is one, and the Yazui Beach Village is one.
Although the navy did not send wine to Liaojin for a winter, they still learned about Liaojin's burning knife wine through some smuggling merchants.
The harsh winter in the north makes the Liaojin people more fond of the hot burning knife wine, the burning knife wine stored before the winter has long been sold out, and the burning knife wine has penetrated from the sea to the interior of Liaojin, and even the tribes on the grassland know the good name of the burning knife wine.
This simple, rugged name of the wine is also remembered by men of all ethnic groups, but after it is transported from the sea to the interior, the price of wine will rise a lot.
In western Liaoning and steppe tribes. Only the aristocracy could afford to enjoy the liquor.
This time, Li Jun and others directly transported one million catties of burnt knife wine, which could make a profit of 30,000 yuan.
It is better to say that Liangshan will fight a big family casually. However, Shi Jin decided to increase the dumping of Burning Daozi Liquor to Liaojin this year, and after a year of cultivation, Burning Daozi Liquor has become unstoppable in Liaojin.
Compared with many famous liquors in the Central Plains, the roasted knife wine is much less delicate and mellow, because the liquor made in Liangshan is actually the village liquor, but it is distilled once, but it is strong enough, and this characteristic alone has conquered the rugged peoples of Liaojin and Jin.
Some officials and liquor merchants in Liaojin also tried to ban the sale of this spirit, which was smuggled from the Great Song Dynasty. However, the burning knife wine was supported by more officials and nobles.
The two countries of Song and Liao have been peaceful for a hundred years, and the trade between the two countries is frequent, and there are many fine works placed in each other.
Burning knife wine comes from Liangshan. It is not that the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty are naturally hidden from the officials of the Liao State.
For some Liao officials, they liked to burn knives and wine, and they also liked Liangshan to sit big, adding some trouble to the Song Dynasty.
Now Liao has the great enemy of Jinguo. However, the Song Dynasty took the opportunity to destroy the Western Xia. If the Song Dynasty really destroyed the Western Xia, then the Liao State might fall into a two-sided war, so it was in the interests of the Liao State to let the Song Dynasty mess up.
Of course, there are many Liao nobles who don't think about it so much, they just like this kind of hot burning knife wine.
Whatever the reason, in short, the Liao State finally decided to let the domestic sale of Burning Daozi Liquor, and at the same time allowed the sale of a small number of war horses to Liangshan.
However, how to dump the burning knife wine is a matter for the future, and what is in front of Shi Jin is that the cottage money and food are in a hurry again.
The world was in turmoil, and the tax burden of the imperial court increased. The number of people who took refuge in Liangshan also increased considerably.
Today, there are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Liangshan, and the annual military salary alone will cost one million. The cottage also has to provide food and clothing, which is another large expense.
Shi Jin really wanted to Taoguang and raise obscurity, and after Tian Hu and Wang Qing made a bigger fuss and Fang La also rebelled, Liangshan revolted again, after all, the Western Army was still the most elite force in the Central Plains.
Although the Western Army and the Western Xia have been fighting bloody battles in recent years, and the losses are not small, the Western Army is still the most deterrent soldier and horse in the Central Plains.
Liang Shan Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Lu Da and others have established a lot of prestige in several defeats of the imperial court, but they are not yet comparable to the old classics.
Shi Jin's reputation can be compared with that of the old race, but what makes Shi Jin famous is benevolence and righteousness, while the old race is slightly more public.
In fact, there is indeed no one in Liangshan who can be compared with the old breed of the general, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Luda and others can be said to be a general or a fierce general, and the old breed is a handsome talent.
Shi Jin didn't take the decadent Great Song Dynasty in his eyes, but he didn't dare to be careless about the last sword of the Western Army.
Therefore, Shi Jin's discussion with Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu still turned out to be two state capitals for Tianxingdao, but they would not occupy the same place as Tian Hu and Wang Qing.
Of course, hitting a state capital can also temporarily alleviate Liangshan's money and food dilemma, but the left and right may attract the imperial army, so why not fight more?
If the imperial court would not send troops, fighting two state capitals would make Liangshan more abundant in money and grain. If the imperial court will send troops, then it would be even more correct to fight one more.
And the state capital selected by the three of them is Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion in the north, both of which are rich places, and there are many corrupt officials and inferior gentry in the city.
After setting the goal, Shi Jin summoned the generals.
"Knock Knock"
In the sound of the drums, one by one the leaders walked into the hall.
With the expansion of Liangshan's soldiers and horses, the original deputy generals also led troops alone, and each of them had a battalion of soldiers and horses.
When they heard that the cottage was going to send troops to attack Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion in two ways, all the leaders got up and asked for battle.
Today, the month-end contest has become a battalion unit, and the victorious leaders and soldiers can be rewarded, but they will not be able to get the merits.
Many leaders were not satisfied with their positions, and they were naturally eager to fight.
However, for today's Liangshan, it is not difficult to fight the two state capitals, not to mention that Liangshan has placed spies in the nearby state capitals, and Shi Jin is not ready to storm the two capitals.
At this time, what Liangshan needed was Taoguang and obscurity, not showing off his might.
In the end, Shi Jin led Lin Chong, Chen Da, Hua Rong, Sun Li, Luan Tingyu, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Yang Lin, Deng Fei, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Liu Tang, Li Kui, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon to fight Dongchang Mansion.
Xiao Jiasui led Guan Sheng, Tang Bin, Hu Yanzhuo, Dong Ping, Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Han Tao, Peng Xi, Shi Yong, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Bao Xu, Song Wan, and Du Qian 20 leaders to fight Dongping Mansion.
The allocation was decided, and Shi Jin asked Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon to take some people to pretend to be a caravan. rushed to Dongchang Mansion first, and there were copycat spies at the head of the land to respond.
Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Liu Tang, Li Kui, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao also pretended to be caravans to rob the city gate. Shi Jin came with the army in his own hands.
To be exact, Dongchang Mansion is still north of Dongping Mansion.
When Shi Jin was still on the road with his troops, Xiao Jiasui had already occupied Dongping Mansion all the way, and he also sent people into the city, and then raided and attacked the city.
Dong Ping rushed into the city with a group of horse troops, wanting to recruit the officers and soldiers who came to save the city gate, but found that the forbidden army of Dongping Mansion did not come at all. Let this Dongping Mansion be imprisoned in front of it without embarrassment.
Dongping Mansion is close to Liangshan, and the forbidden army in the city knows that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangshan now, and they all fled when they heard that Liangshan was attacking the city. Who dares to come and save what city gates.
Only the forbidden army on duty at the city gate was killed, and several people were cut down by Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu, and the rest of the people saw that their heads were not good.
After Dong Ping led his troops into the city, he glanced in the direction of the yamen. Then he said to Shi Yong, Mu Hong, and Mu Chun, who entered the city together: "A few brothers, go and catch that journey." Please don't disturb the ladies too much. ”
Dongping Mansion is close at hand, and the situation in the city naturally cannot be hidden from Liangshan.
When Xiao Jiasui led his troops down the mountain, he named a few corrupt officials and gentry who were very harmful, and wanted to arrest them as soon as possible after the city was broken, so as not to abscond them, and the prefect Cheng Wanli was the first.
Under the deterrence of the Liangshan patrol soldiers and horses, few people in the four townships near Shuibo dared to endanger the people, but there were some corrupt officials and gentry in the state capital who thought they had the protection of the city. Liang Shan couldn't get in, and he was still doing evil.
Dong Ping also wants to make contributions. But he and Cheng Wanli's daughter have some feelings, and it is not easy to catch Cheng Wanli.
If Liangshan is like an ordinary grass coward, if he catches a corrupt official, he will be wiped out.
Then he will definitely grab the yamen before everyone else, so as to save the daughter of Cheng Wanli.
But Liang Shan only punished the evil, and did not involve his family, if he caught Cheng Wanli with his own hands, it would be difficult to meet Cheng Wanli's daughter.
He is a merry double gunner, not an obscene double gunner.
"Okay, if you catch Cheng Wanli, we'll invite you to eat and drink."
Shi Yong, Mu Hong, and Mu Chun also wanted to make contributions, and seeing Dong Ping's humility, they responded, and took their men who pretended to be caravans to the yamen.
Dong Ping saw Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu guarding the city gate, thought about it, and led his troops to the east gate.
The officers and soldiers guarding the gate have all fled, and the people in the city know that Liangshan will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and no one has abandoned their homes and fled.
Dong Ping led his troops to guard the east gate, and they were allowed to enter and not to leave.
At this time, the army led by Xiao Jiasui has also entered the city one after another and began to pacify the people everywhere.
In fact, the people of Dongping Mansion did not need to be appeased, and there was nothing to panic, but many people went to the street to see the soldiers and horses of Liangshan, waiting for the future to do the road for heaven.
"Where do you want to go, dog?"
Dong Ping was sitting on a horse, looking in the direction of the yamen, when he suddenly heard a loud shout not far away, and when he heard the sound, a person was twisting a person.
"I'm not an official."
The man argued as he struggled to escape.
But the people shouted: "The heroes of Liangshan are coming, I have caught Cheng Wanli." ”
Dong Ping saw that the people were screaming, sighed in his heart, and waved his hand: "Catch Cheng Wanli." ”
Behind him, Liang Shan's minions saw Dong Ping's order, and immediately rushed to the front.
Cheng Wanli wanted to escape, but the people were desperately twisted and twisted, and they were immediately arrested by Liangshan's minions and brought to Dong Ping.
When Cheng Wanli arrived at Dong Ping, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged: "General Dong, for the sake of my colleagues, spare my life." ”
Dong Ping shook his head and said: "You are an official and corrupt, and your sins are unforgivable, and I can't plead for you." ”
Cheng Wanli saw that Dong Ping had room to speak, rolled his eyes, and said: "As long as General Dong sends me back to Beijing, I am willing to marry the little girl to the general, and I can also clear the responsibility of the general for the thief." (To be continued......)
