Chapter 43: Big Mind

The strong man Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "According to legend, Lord Lu was born in the martial arts, and when I saw Brother Wenfu today, he was really extraordinary, so refreshing, he dared to drink all of us with our group of reckless drinks, and he was not afraid of us being poisoned at all." With this mind alone, I admire it very much. That's right, in the next book, it's our Han people, my name is Li Xiang, and my friends in the rivers and lakes gave me a nickname called Touching Tian, and I was pushed out by my brothers to be a big head and talk to Brother Wenfu. ”

Lu Bingfang looked at the other seventeen people sitting down, most of them were Han, only two or three of them were dressed in the service of the Japanese thieves, could it be that as Li Jue said, the Japanese were all Han pretends, Lu Bing didn't feel a little cold, and sighed again and again in his heart.

"It turned out to be the chief scoop handle. Since you are Han Chinese, why do you pretend to be a Japanese to invade your own people? When you are a bandit, you are a bandit, no one will look down on you, pretending to be a widow to rob, and even the bones are soft, are you still a man? Lu Bing asked.

Li Xiangha said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, our group of people is not Shandong Xiangma, there is no general scoop, I just came out to be a representative." Brother Wenfu is an official in the capital, and he doesn't know the local situation, and few of us in this group are cowards because they are greedy for money, and most of them have come to this point because they can't survive anymore. Once you are a bandit, it will be difficult to leave, and as soon as the official document of sea fishing comes out, where can you go home. In order to survive, I had to go on. Some of us deliberately flaunted the banner of the Japanese people, that was for the sake of looking good on our faces, otherwise we would be recognized, and it was really uncomfortable for the villagers to poke their backbones and scold their families, so it was also considered a disguise. Of course, it is even more to scare those dog officials who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, cough cough cough, Brother Wenfu, I don't mean you. ”

Lu Bing nodded in understanding: "You continue." ”

"That group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials still have a hand in bullying the common people on weekdays, and they really beat the Japanese people and coaxed them. At the same time, they also have some nasty tricks, such as recognizing our identities and causing trouble to our families. The rivers and lakes have morality, and the disaster will not affect the family, and we have no way to play cards in the court that does not follow the rules, so we can only pretend to be a widow in desperation. But Brother Wenfu, I don't dare to say too much here, at least four or five groups of people have never pretended to be Japanese people from beginning to end, as for what no one in the court has reported it, saying that this is a bandit and not a Japanese bandit, then we don't know what to do. In short, if you hadn't come to encircle and suppress this time, we would have paid the officials every month to pay money to the wells, and nothing would have happened, but if you came this time, they wouldn't have been able to cover it. Li Xiang said.

Lu Bing suddenly understood, first of all, the officials could secretly trade with these thieves in this way, and collude with the Japanese in private on the surface, and few people thought that the officials would collude with foreign countries and foreigners. The main thing is that if the people occupy the mountain as kings, then the rebellion is an uprising, and the officials are responsible. However, the invasion of the Japanese was invincible, they belonged to the foreign people, and they could only resist and drive away things that could not bind their country.

Another advantage is that if you deal with it properly on the surface, you can still get credit, and the officials will be promoted through the ages, so why not do the officials. Therefore, the officials have reported these thieves as robbers in order to find a solution.

Lu Bing pondered for a moment and said, "What are your requirements for coming to me today?" ”

"Naturally, I begged Brother Wenfu to withdraw from the army," Li Xiang said: "The army is cleared, and we really can't get together to gather together to keep warm, if Brother Wenfu pushes too hard, I can't restrain my brothers, and I'm afraid that we will fight to the death at that time, and we will inevitably end up losing both." ”

Lu Bing's eyes slapped the table and said: "You are just a group of thieves, Wang Shi is approaching, he will be killed if he doesn't tie his hands, and he dares to bargain with this official." As soon as Lu Bing's voice was finished, he heard a neat bang, and the guards brought by Lu Bing drew their swords and aimed their crossbows at those thieves.

Li Xiang also stood up and said softly: "Brother Wenfu, I heard about you, you have a physical disability, you go first, I, Li Xiang, am not unparticular, I can't bully a cripple, in case I start to do it in a while, I can't protect you." ”

Lu Bingha laughed and sat down and said, "Li Xiang, you guy is interesting, although this is a bit false, but I like it." What do you think of my offer of a condition? ”

"Brother Wenfu, please speak." Li Xiang said hurriedly.

"The reason why I purged you this time is because you killed the people, but this is not the main reason, the most important thing is that I am looking for a group of people, a group of thieves operating near Changzhou, at least they are dressed as thieves. Some time ago, there was a conflict with dozens of Ming officers and soldiers, and many people died at that time, you should be able to remember this, it is not the kind of small thing that you forget overnight. Do you know who the Tao is? Lu Bingdao.

Li Xiang thought for a long time and shook his head slightly, and then asked the person sitting down: "Lai Touhua, Yamamoto Sang, you two have many disasters near Changzhou, do you know such a group of people as Lu Dao?" ”

The man named Lai Touhua claimed that he didn't know, but he knew that a group of people were operating in Changzhou a few months ago, and they were extremely strong and numerous, so those little rogues were either recovered or crushed, but he led his brothers to attack a group of people in his county at that time, so he never encountered this group head-on. The Japanese man named Yamamoto stood up, pouted his lips and said, "I know that they are Sato-kun of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but there are three or four Han Chinese among them, and I don't know these people, but they look so powerful." ”

Lu Bing looked at this Japanese, his official words were already very good, if it weren't for the Japanese costumes, he wouldn't be able to hear that he was a Japanese person. "Brother Wenfu, I shouldn't have asked, what are you looking for them? But this group of people attacked you, I thought" Li Xiang said this, and Lu Bing smiled: "You think it was the official family who pretended to be a thief to attack me, right?" ”

Li Xiang nodded, and Lu Bing said frankly: "This is definitely not the case, where did the official family find so many good players, and if the official family is looking for someone, it is also a figure in the Central Plains, and it was the martial arts people who snatched me from them that day, and the two parties don't seem to know each other." Therefore, it must be a thief from abroad, who may have hired someone to commit the murder, in short, the perpetrator must be found before digging down. By the way, who is that Sato-kun that was talking about that dog day just now? ”

Yamamoto, who is proficient in official language, naturally understands this, and stands up with a roar and draws his sword, Lu Bingyang raised his head and jumped out, and in an instant, the two guards who also drew their knives behind the mountain itself fell to the ground. Chao Death's body shook and floated back, his movements were as fast as lightning, not to mention these people present, even Lu Bing had just captured a trace of Chao Death's figure.

Before the people present could figure out what was going on, Yamamoto felt that there was liquid spraying in the back of his head, and when he reached out and touched it, it turned out to be blood, and when he looked back, he saw that the heads of his two subordinates were separated from the blood like a gushing out, and he was suddenly stupid.

Everyone was in an uproar, and instantly understood that if Lu Bing wanted to kill himself, it would be easy, no wonder Lu Bing was so relieved to go to the appointment, it turned out that there was such a master to support him. Li Xiang is worthy of being the leader elected by everyone, and he was the first to react and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Xie Wenfu doesn't kill Yamamoto's grace, you think this is good, let's help Brother Wenfu find out that group of bold bandits, and then we don't owe each other well water." ”

Lu Bing smiled: "This is a good way, but I said that as an official of the imperial court, how can I allow you to bargain with me, rely on you and let you go, this is not what I should do." Let's talk about this matter, it's a private matter, I'm here for business, and I can't fake it for personal gain, right? I have an opinion, you come and listen to it, you are obedient to the court, I promise not to put you under the command of others, just follow me. Of course, if you don't want to follow me, you can put it to others, as long as you belong to the team of the Ming Dynasty, you will never be given such a disgusting organization for group training. As for what you have done in the past, you are not to blame for what you have done in the past, but just abide by the law and military rules in the future, what do you think? ”

"Brother Wenfu means to let us recruit An?" Li Xiang asked.

"Or else?" Lu Bing snorted coldly and laughed.

Everyone immediately looked at each other, sat down and many people turned their heads to each other, Lu Bing said: "Whoever wants to be willing, if you don't want to say it, if you have any questions, you can ask it, they are all big men, whispering and eggless girls, not happy at all." ”

"Okay, I've been elected by my brothers, so I'll say it first." Li Xiang said: "I'm a rough person, I haven't read many books, but there is a book called "Zhongyi Water Margin" I don't know if Brother Wenfu has read it? ”

"Yes."

"Then I don't know what happened to Song Jiang and the others?"

Lu Bing said with a smile: "What are you talking about when you are poor and blind in writing books, Song Jiang was used as cannon fodder by the imperial court, and let him kill each other with other thieves, and he was exhausted and withered." But in fact, no matter how powerful they are, they are just a group of thieves, and it is easy for the imperial court to destroy them, and they can be engulfed by the tactics of the sea of people alone, not to mention that the materials and reserves of the thieves are impossible to confront the imperial court, and the protracted war will also consume Song Jiang and others. In fact, Liangshan is a hero, where is there such a powerful thing written in the book, at best, it is almost the same as you. Therefore, there is still a way out for them to recruit An, and if they do not return to the imperial court, there is only a dead end, so it is a wise path to choose Zhao'an. ”

Li Xiang fell into deep thought, and the other leaders under the seat began to ask: "If we are Zhao'an, what official position will we enter, whether the soldiers are regular army or regimental training, whether we can replenish soldiers and horses in the future, how to pay soldiers and food, and whether it is the same as other troops, we don't do it in a self-sufficient way." ”

Lu Bing was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that there is a drama in this matter, and this is also the reason for doing business, and whoever bargains is the one who really wants to buy, so Lu Bing replied: "I said that if you want to follow me, that is my lineage, if it is classified as a regimental training or something else under my command, it doesn't make much difference, you look at this group of guards behind me, they don't even have a formal establishment, but what do you think of them?" If you have to go elsewhere, the group training is wronged by you, it must be a regular establishment but the treatment, I don't dare to say. ”

Everyone had already seen that Lu Bing's guards were tall and strong, with ruddy complexions, and they were well fed and slept, and their strong muscles showed that each of them had trained a lot. Look at the equipment on their bodies, holding dragon spears, the spears are shining brightly, and at first glance, they are not casually made into batches of refined blades, although the waist knives they carry on their waists can't tell how they are, but just looking at the handle and scabbard should be good.

On the left waist hangs a hand-cranked crossbow, and on the right waist hangs a strange-looking thing, which looks a little like a firebolt, but it is much smaller than the firebolt, and the firebolt has six tubes. There is a small box hanging behind the soldier's waist, the box is full, as for what it is, I don't know what it is, but this small box is made of cowhide, that is called a strict one, even if it is thrown into the water, I am afraid that it will not seep water for a while and a half.

The brightest thing is not these, but the armor worn by the soldiers, which is made of iron pieces and hard cowhide, and seems to be carefully tanned. In the vital part of the cowhide armor with a thin layer of steel, shiny and extremely good-looking, the connecting parts are tied with cowhide buckles, more solid and reliable, by no means ordinary rope tied military uniforms can be compared. This armor can be summed up as a lightweight warrior who is light and flexible, but also strong and practical, and it is also beautiful.

These leaders were greedy when they looked at this armor, if it weren't for the negotiations, and the soldiers were big-shouldered and round-waisted, the thieves would have to rush up and take their armor for themselves.

Lu Bing saw everyone's expressions and said, "After you return to obedience, the money and grain are the same as those of the regular troops of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all supplied by the imperial court. As for the official positions of your leaders, it depends on how many people you have under you, a hundred people do a hundred households, and a thousand people do a thousand households, and they all have the money and appointments of the imperial court. If you are equipped, I won't blame you, it's impossible to be like my personal guards, it's too expensive, but you can rest assured that it won't be too bad. Whether I can expand the troops and horses in the future, I don't dare to pack the ticket, and I will say it to death, but it is estimated that it should be okay, and this depends on my future movement and status in the capital. ”

Lu Bing's words are real and reasonable, which makes everyone yearn for it, no one wants to be the enemy of the government and fall into the grass, and now if Zhao'an can be smoothly promoted, the private salt will suddenly become official salt, and the bandit leaders will become officials of the imperial court, and they will return to their hometowns in fine clothes and glorify their ancestors, most people will be willing to do such things.

Lu Bing only felt disgusting in his eyes, and he really didn't want to accept these Japanese people as subordinates, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only endure it for the time being, and kept comforting himself that those who said that they should have a big mind.
