Chapter 4 Lin Chong Ascends the Mountain

With the three heroes of the Ruan family going up the mountain, Shuibo Liang Mountain has become more and more prosperous.

Li Xuan took the bandits down the mountain every once in a while to rob the old wealth of the landlords who were not benevolent to the rich.

He also played the slogan of doing the right thing for heaven, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and after each action, he would distribute a small part of the money and food he had robbed to the nearby people. As for the usury of the peasants who owed the landlords, it was natural that the IOUs would be burned in a fire.

Only two or three months have passed, Liangshan Dazhai has not only accumulated a lot of money and grain, but also has a good reputation among the poor people.

Every day, people who couldn't survive went up the mountain to join the army, and Li Xuan had to expand the size of the army, increasing to two infantry battalions and one sailor battalion, with a total of 1,500 people.

As the size of the army expanded, the quality of officers could not keep up.

The sailor said that the strength of the three Ruan brothers on the water is very good, and it is enough to lead a battalion of sailors.

As for the infantry, letting Du Qian and Song Wan lead a battalion of soldiers and horses is estimated to be counterproductive.

At this time, a spy came to report from the mountain, saying that Lin Chong, the head of the former 800,000 forbidden army, was going up the mountain and falling into the grass, and was now waiting in the hotel outside Shuibo.

As soon as Li Xuan heard it, he knew that the plot had begun.

Lin Chong, the fierce general who killed Wang Lun in the original plot, was a regular officer of the Song Dynasty, and he was far from being comparable to ordinary bandits in terms of training soldiers and horses and transferring troops to fight.

Li Xuan is not the original Wang Lun, with his means and skills, Lin Chong can't play any tricks in front of him.

A moment later, Li Xuan and several leaders of Liangshan gathered in the Juyi Hall, and Zhu Fu walked in from outside with Lin Chong.

Zhu Gui introduced: "The owner of the village, this is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, surnamed Lin, named Chong, nicknamed Leopard Head. Because he was framed by Gao Taiwei, he was matched with Cangzhou. There was again a fire to the forage fields of the army. Zhengnai killed three people and fled to Chai Daguan's house, so he respected each other, so he wrote a book and recommended him to join the gang. ”

In the past, several leaders of Liangshan called Wang Lun "elder brother", but when they came to Li Xuan, they directly clarified the relationship between their superiors and subordinates, and asked them to call themselves "village masters".

Perhaps calling each other brothers can bring the relationship closer in the short term, but in the long run it is disadvantageous.

Taking advantage of the fact that several leaders are ordinary people, Li Xuan first clarified the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, established a system, and if there are strongmen going up the mountain in the future, he can only honestly act in accordance with the rules and regulations.

Li Xuan looked at Lin Chong carefully, and sure enough, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and strong, and a talent.

"Sect Leader Lin, Chai Daguan has been here for a long time?" Li Xuan spoke, but he asked Chai Jin first.

After all, when Wang Lun established Liangshan, he pulled an investment from Chai Jin.

Chai Jin can be regarded as the major shareholder of Liangshan, even if Li Xuan is pretending, he must show respect for Chai Jin, otherwise he will be ungrateful in the eyes of others.

"Chai Daguan is in good health, and he plays and hunts in the suburbs every day." Lin Chong said respectfully.

At the beginning, Lin Chong didn't pay much attention to this gang of bandits, after all, he had been the head of the 800,000 forbidden army and had seen the world.

He came to Liangshan just to find a place to live.

However, when he went up the mountain just now, he saw that those bandits and minions were all in order, like the elite of the imperial court, and he couldn't help but glance up.

This is naturally a great good thing for Lin Chong.

The stronger Liangshan is, the greater the possibility of repelling the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court in the future.

If it was really some ordinary little bandit nest, Gao Yu would find out about his Lin Chong's whereabouts in the future, and casually send thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege him, maybe they would have to receive a box lunch.

Thinking of this, Lin Chong bowed his head: "Lin Chong said: "The villain is famous for thousands of miles, and he is the master for thousands of miles. Although Lin Chong is not talented, he hopes to be included, and he should move forward with a death, and he hopes to be included. ”

Li Xuan said with a smile: "Even if there is no recommendation from Chai Daguan, with your Lin Chong's ability, I will also include you in the cottage and entrust you with important tasks." But even if I value you again, the rules and regulations in the cottage still can't be broken. If you want to go up the mountain to join the house, you must pay the name certificate! ”

Lin Chong said: "The villain knows a few words. "Just write with a pen and paper.

Zhu Gui smiled: "Sect leader, you are wrong. But when the heroes join the gang, they need to accept the name. It is to teach you to go down the mountain and kill a person, and to sacrifice his head, and he will have no doubt, and this is called 'casting a name'. ”

Lin Chong said: "This thing is not difficult, Lin Chong will go down the mountain and wait." I'm afraid no one has ever been. ”

"I, a good man in Liangshan, is doing the right thing for heaven, how can I block the road and rob him?" The smile on Li Xuan's face became more and more intense.

Lin Chong had just come to Liangshanbo, and on the way over, he vaguely heard the people say that the heroes of Liangshan did the way for the sky, and couldn't help but ask a little puzzled: "Please bishop me, what should I do?" ”

"We Liangshan heroes are now dealing with those landlords who are not benevolent to the rich, or some corrupt officials." Li Xuan said with a smile: "That's it, there is a Song family village near Shuibo, and the old man Song usually likes to lend usury, and he returns to ninety-three." If others do not pay it, they will take back their fields to pay their debts, and many good people will be ruined. ”

"I'll give you all the soldiers and horses, that is, one hundred and fifty people, you go and break the Songjiazhuang and get the money and grain back, even if you pay the vote."

Lin Chong hadn't said anything yet, but Zhu Gui next to him had his eyelids jumping, and couldn't help asking: "Village master, the Songjiazhuang in your mouth should be the Songjiazhuang of Song Gongming's family in time, right?!" ”

"It's that Song Jiazhuang, I've sent people to investigate many times, and the Song family is not a good bird at all." Li Xuan grinned.

The people in the hall were all stunned.

Lin Chong said with some hesitation: "Owner of the village, although it is the first time I have come to the vicinity of Liangshanbo, I can hear the name of Song Gongming of Shandong Timely Rain. This is just like the Chai officials, there are a few heroes in the green forest, how can they rob his house? ”

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "That Song Jiang is so famous, but whenever someone comes to him, he will accept everything and try his best to fund it." It's like a squander! When asked for money, he did not shirk it; And easy to do, every row of difficult to solve disputes, often scatter coffin bait, help people's urgency, help people's difficulties, therefore, Shandong, Hebei famous, all call him a timely rain, but compare him to the timely rain in the sky, can save everything. ”

"There are indeed only two such characters on the rivers and lakes, that is, Chai Daguan and Song Jiang."

"Chai Daguan is a relative of the emperor and the country, and his family has a big business, so it is not unusual to have so much money. But he, Song Jiang, is just a small county magistrate, a petty official who is not in the product, where did he get so much money? ”

Li Xuan's question made everyone confused.

Indeed, where did Song Jiang get so much money?

Li Xuan took out a small notebook in a timely manner, which recorded Song Jiang's black materials, all of which he specially sent someone to find out during this time.

For example, Song Jiang was greedy for how much money the government had, Song Lao Dame gave usury, and Song Jiang's younger brother Song Qing sold illicit salt......

There is some black history that Song Jiang and his family really did. There are still some things that were purely added by Li Xuan, and I don't know if there are any.

Lin Chong took the small notebook and looked at it, and the tall image of Song Gongming in his heart instantly collapsed.

Where is it still raining in time, it is clearly corrupt officials and corrupt officials, plus the fish and meat township, forcing many people to die, it is so bad that it is pus.

Even he didn't doubt the truth of these things, because where did Song Jiang get so much money?

A small priest in Yuncheng County, whose family is just an ordinary landlord, if there is no other oil and water, where can he get so much real money to squander?

"Lin Jiaotou, then Song Jiang was willing to spend money and won over a lot of heroes in the green forest, but he did too many bad things after all." Li Xuan said righteously: "We Liangshan do the way for the sky, how can we look at these people who sell their fame and reputation in the fish and meat town? ”

Lin Chong smiled bitterly, and finally nodded and took the task.
