080 Became an official
Wang Jinlong felt very troublesome about how to teach Yang Kang, and Wang Jinlong had the means to those capricious Jin Guo water army.
Wang Jinlong came to Peach Blossom Island this time, and also brought nearly a thousand Song State sailors, although he was also subdued by force, once he had the opportunity, he would definitely want to rebel, but let them deal with the Jin State Navy Army, they would definitely work hard. The two countries of Jin and Song said that they were at peace, but in fact there were still petty clashes, and the armies of the two countries, which were in direct conflict, were naturally as deep as the sea. Now that there is a chance to rectify the other party, what else is there to be polite?
Wang Jinlong took the sailors of the Song army as thugs, imprisoned all the sailors of the Jin State separately, and began to examine them one by one. He had been trained to capture prisoners, also known as tongue grabbing. Since he caught his tongue, of course he had to interrogate, so he also knew some skills in this area. He personally formulated some questions, and asked the Song sailors to ask them one by one according to these questions, and finally compared and sorted out the answers, and basically could distinguish who was the person with bad intentions.
In fact, mass incidents are often instigated by a few people, and at least half of the others are blind. Since Wang Jinlong didn't want to kill, he only needed to find out a few people who picked the head. Through the interrogation records, it is easy to find the people who jumped the most.
Wang Jinlong was reluctant to kill, but he didn't have to be polite to a few leaders. Directly ordered to hang people on the mast and let the sea breeze dry them.
This trick was used to deal with pirates in the eighteenth century, and Wang Jinlong used it now, which immediately shocked all his captives. The dishonest people among the sailors of the Jin Kingdom were singled out, and the sailors of the Song Kingdom had just arrived, and they had not yet fully surrendered, and after seeing Wang Jinlong's methods, the little Jiujiu in his heart could only press it.
It took almost a day to deal with the prisoners, and on the second and third days, Wang Jinlong followed Huang Yaoshi to learn music theory. Perhaps he is really talented in this area, and he still has not made much progress in two days, and he has learned his head like a fight. In the end, I decided to forget it, and I will have the opportunity to learn the lion's roar of Shaolin Temple in the future.
Wang Jinlong and the others still had to go back to Niujia Village, and they couldn't stay on Peach Blossom Island for a long time, so they asked Huang Yaoshi to bid farewell on the third night. When Huang Rong heard that they were leaving, she was very reluctant, and begged Bao Xiweak to stay for a few more days. Wang Jinlong had no choice but to comfort her, saying that he would come to see her again in a short time, so he appeased the little girl.
Huang Rong was settled, but he didn't expect that there was another one that made Wang Jinlong uneven, and it was the eagle that followed him from the valley to come here.
Since coming to Peach Blossom Island, the eagle eagle has been very excited, playing in the water and catching fish on the beach every day, so happy. It wasn't even there when Yang Kang and Huang Rong clashed, it just went to play in the water. Now that Wang Jinlong is leaving, the eagle is unwilling to go, so Wang Jinlong can't help it.
Since the eagle eagle was unwilling to go, Wang Jinlong couldn't force it, so he had to entrust it and those captives to Huang Yaoshi again, and he took his family to Niujia Village. Huang Rong is very happy about this, at least she has one more playmate who can play with her.
When Wang Jinlong returned to Niujia Village, it had only been half a month since he left. As soon as the two sides met, Li Ping and Bao Xiwan hugged each other and cried bitterly, much more excited than when Li Ping saw Wang Jinlong. Wang Jinlong didn't bother them, and asked them to find a place to cry alone, he first introduced Guo Jing to Yang Kang and Mu Nianci, let them get along well, and then chatted with Qiu Chuji and Jiangnan Seven Monsters about what happened after he left.
Speaking of this, Qiu Chuji also had to sigh and said, "Brother Yang, you are really a good means. A few days ago, we heard the news that Duan Tiande had been taken down, accused of perverting the law for bribes, colluding with bandits, mutilating good people, eating empty salaries, and so on. The court has already made a judgment, Duan Tiande has made a decision, all family property has been confiscated, and the family members have been sold into slavery. He has finally repaid his evil, and half of the revenge of your two families has been avenged. ”
Wang Jinlong chuckled and said, "What evil has evil retribution? It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If I hadn't entered the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, I was afraid that wicked people like Duan Tiande would also be prosperous and wealthy, and they would live for the rest of their lives. The way of this world is to kill people and set fire to the gold belt, build bridges and repair roads, and there are no corpses. If you want the wicked to have evil retribution, you can only rely on yourself. ”
For his words, Qiu Chuji and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan didn't know how to answer it, so they could only be silent. Wang Jinlong was not interested in continuing on this topic, and asked again: "Is there anything else besides this matter?" ”
Zhu Cong said: "Oh, there is one more thing, there are three strangers in the village, who have been inquiring about us. Judging by their behavior, they should be spies from the government. They just inquired about the news, but they didn't do anything else, and the focus of the inquiry was when you would come back, and I didn't think they had any malicious intentions, so I didn't care about them. ”
Wang Jinlong nodded: "Now that I'm back, they should also have movement, let's wait." ”
The day after saying this, there was really a movement, and the small court of Lin'an actually sent an angel to announce the edict to Wang Jinlong. This hand was really unexpected by Wang Jinlong, and out of curiosity, he invited the angel in to see what he said.
Fortunately, the so-called holy decree of this era does not have to kneel to accept it, otherwise Wang Jinlong will never accept it. And the angel of the edict is also very knowledgeable, and when he sees Wang Jinlong, he is very modest, and even has some flattery. The holy decree was not read, and he directly handed it to Wang Jinlong for him to see.
Wang Jinlong is not very proficient in ancient texts, even if he has read some Taoist treasures and read a few secret books in the Quanzhen Sect, he has not studied them systematically, so even if he knows the words on the holy decree, he doesn't quite understand what is said, so he has to ask the angel to explain it.
The angel was also happy and said: "Yang Zhuangshi doesn't need to look at it in such detail, he just needs to know that the imperial court has appointed you as a martial arts doctor and Jingdong's pacification envoy." ”
Wang Jinlong was surprised: "The court has appointed me as an official?" Where does this start? ”
The angel smiled and said, "Yang Zhuang...... No, it should be called Lord Yang by now. Lord Yang went down the river a few days ago, but he tossed a lot of momentum. After the official family heard about it, they cherished your martial arts, and the court was employing people, so they forgave your sins and asked you to contribute to the court. ”
Wang Jinlong understood that the court wanted to recruit himself. So, does he want to accept Zhao'an?
Influenced by "Water Margin", most modern people have no good impression of Zhao'an, and always feel that after Zhao'an, they will become meat on the court board, and they will be cut casually. The one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, who had a huge momentum, were tossed in this way.
But in fact? Among the one hundred and eight generals, only the leading Song Jiang and Lu Junyi were killed by the imperial court, and apart from them, the imperial court did not pursue anyone who did not die on the battlefield. Wu Yong, Hua Rong, and Li Kui all voluntarily followed to die, and this account could not be counted on the head of the imperial court. The others, except for one Ruan Xiaoqi, who was too arrogant, actually wore Fang La's dragon robe out and was cut to the people, at least they were all mixed up as officials.
Before Liangshan, there were many green forest heroes who were recruited, as long as they didn't commit crimes, they could live a prosperous life in peace. It can be said that there has never been a situation before when he first recruited an an, and then turned his face and was executed, and it is because of this that Song Jiang is so persistent in pursuing Zhaoan.
It's just that Song Jiang is missing one thing, that is, he has offended too many court officials, and they are all treacherous villains like Cai Jing and Gao Yu. They don't care about any conventions or face. offended these people to death, turned his head and worked as an errand under others, and he deserved to be killed in a pit.
Compared to them, Wang Jinlong's situation is much better. The most ruthless Song Dynasty official he offended, that is, the Xiangyang town guard. A mere town guard envoy cannot influence the decision-making of the imperial court. In addition, he also formed an ally with the treacherous Shi Miyuan, and whoever cheated him would be unable to get along with Shi Miyuan. The most important thing is that Wang Jinlong's martial arts are far beyond the reach of the heroes of Liangshan, once the imperial court dares to do something to him, he can single-handedly overthrow the small court of Lin'an.
Therefore, after Wang Jinlong figured it out, he happily accepted the official position. However, he then asked: "Dare to ask the angel, I have gathered some warships and sailors, I don't know what to do?" Don't tell me, you have to hand it all in. ”
For Wang Jinlong's soldiers and horses, of course, the imperial court wants to completely accept them. But Shi Miyuan still knows Wang Jinlong, and knows that the imperial court has to collect it strongly, and he will definitely provoke Wang Jinlong to turn his face. Therefore, before the angel came, two sets of plans were formulated. Let's test Wang Jinlong's attitude first, if he doesn't care about those prisoners, he will take them all. If he doesn't want to give, don't force it, but the court won't recognize this army and won't give any grain and grass.
Now there is no need to tempt, Wang Jinlong has already expressed his attitude, and the angel immediately said: "What the court means is that since those warships and sailors are yours, they will all be handled by you, and the court will not care." ”
Obviously he didn't want to provide food and grass, but when he said it in the angel's mouth, he was very generous and very tolerant. If you want to talk about the heart, don't look at Wang Jinlong as a traverser, and he is not the opponent of these bureaucrats at all, he didn't hear the trickiness at all, but felt very satisfied, and said: "Well, I just want to do something at sea, so it is in my heart." ”
The angel was startled when he heard this, you must know that most of the south of the Yangtze River at this time is still a wild area, and the lake has not been developed, and there is no proverb that "the lake is ripe, and the world is full". Most of the finances of the small court in Lin'an relied on commercial taxes. Most of the commerce of the Southern Song Dynasty relied on maritime trade. Wang Jinlong wants to do something at sea, isn't he just going to be a pirate? This is to dig the foundation of the small court of Lin'an! How does this work?
The angel hurriedly said: "Lord Yang, you are now an official of the imperial court, you can no longer do things that are enemies of the imperial court!" ”
This time, Wang Jinlong heard what he meant, and laughed and said: "Don't worry, I'm not going to be a pirate, don't say that I'm an official now, even if I'm not, how can I be a robber?" ”
The angel breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not a robber, the small court of Lin'an would not be unable to make a fortune.
