Chapter 84: Back to Zhujiazhuang

Wait until about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Biao came back, heard that Zhu Long was coming, and came to the Juyi Hall to meet.

"Just came back, how do you look?" Zhu Long was alone, lying on a chair near the door, looking at him with a smile.

Wu Yong, Qin Ming and the others were all hanging around, knowing that the two of them had important things to say, so it was inconvenient for them to be there.

Zhu Biao pulled a chair, sat next to him, leaned on the back of the chair a little tiredly, and said casually: "I went to the north for a spin today, and for the next seven or eight days, I have to run outside." I plan to name the main sandbanks and small islands in Liangshan Boli, and in the future, when everyone says which location, it will be very clear, lest Rory be like now, and he can't tell where it is. ”

As he spoke, he took out a sheepskin map from his bosom and handed it to Zhu Long.

Zhu Long opened it and saw that it was a map of Liangshanbo, with Liangshan in the middle, and some sandbanks and small islands around it, all marked with names.

Zhu Long praised, "It's very good for you to do this, to be a general, you must know astronomy and geography." I'm going back tomorrow. ”

"You should have gone back a long time ago." Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me here, it'll be fine!" ”

"Well, of course I believe you!" Zhu Long encouraged, and the conversation changed, "But there are some things I still have to tell you." ”

"Well, big brother say it!" Zhu Biao smiled bitterly, the elder brother is now more nagging than his father, but he also understands that this is his strong love. So he could only endure it, and he didn't impatiently find an excuse to escape like Zhu Hu.

Zhu Long didn't realize it, and felt that what he said was very important and needed to be emphasized, "You have to be careful with Zhang Shun, you can't trust it completely, but you can't show the slightest suspicion." ”

"Yes!" Zhu Biao nodded solemnly.

"Liangshan used to open a few hotels by the lake, I will let Shixiu run again, then it will be your eyes and ears, you have to be good at using it!"

"Understood!"

"If there are heroes in the rivers and lakes and heroes in the green forest to take refuge, if you can accept it, you can accept it, and if you can't accept it, write a letter of introduction, let him come to Zhujiazhuang to find me, don't offend those people, we do great things, we must open up the road of virtue, and only ......"

"Okay-" Zhu Biao looked at the sky outside in a daze, wandering out of the sky.

Zhu Long didn't notice it, and still told bitterly: "You are the main general, don't always rush to the front......"

Zhu Biao pursed his lips and wanted to retort, aren't you the same. But I held back.

"You have to continue to expand the water word camp, but you would rather lack it. The soldiers are not expensive, we wish Jiazhuang to take the route of the elite soldiers, because raising soldiers is the most expensive food, whether it is an elite soldier or a weak soldier, the food is almost ......"

"But elite soldiers are also trained, I know that you are good at training, and you will have to put more energy into training in the future, if you have any good ideas, write to me and tell me that I will implement ...... in the whole army."

"There are not many of you, the grain and grass left by Chao Gai Song Jiang can still be eaten for two and a half months, and after a while, I will send someone to send it again." As for the gold, silver and jewels in the Liangshan warehouse, I will not take them away, and leave them for you as military expenses......"

"The defense of the cottage should be carefully guarded, check around, there are any small roads to enter the cottage, and more importantly, leave a back road, just in case ......"

"If the houses in the back mountain are not lived, they will be demolished, and the houses will be haunted if they are empty for a long time......"

Zhu Long chattered, turned his head to look, and found that Zhu Biao was staring at the ground, watching the two groups of ants fight intently......

Syllable!

Zhu Long slapped him on the head and said angrily, "Did you listen to me?" ”

"Huh? Listen, keep listening! Zhu Biao hurriedly said.

"Humph! I'll go back and ask my father to discuss with Mrs. Hu, let you and Hu Sanniang get married at the end of the year, and let your daughter-in-law take care of you in the future, I'm too lazy to care about you! ”

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: What is your own situation, don't you have a little pressure in your heart, I am the third child and I am going to get married, you are still single, and you are embarrassed to say me?

He held back a smile and said with a serious face: "Isn't this okay, big brother, you haven't married yet, how can I get ahead of you?" The young and the old are orderly! Why don't you marry a sister-in-law too! ”

Zhu Long was suddenly hit by 10,000 points, and said dejectedly: "Father doesn't talk about this, and no one arranges it for me, I can't ask people myself, are you willing to marry your daughter to me?" ”

"So that's the case, I thought you were arrogant, and I thought no woman could enter your eyes!" Zhu Biao laughed.

Zhu Long said angrily: "A fool doesn't want a daughter-in-law, no, even a fool knows to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Say it earlier, I'll arrange it for you! Rest assured, it's on me! Zhu Biao patted his chest and said.

"Huh?" Zhu Long was taken aback, "Third brother, do you still have this way?" ”

"What kind of way do you want this, send someone to inquire about who has a good girl, and then spend some silver and let the matchmaker come to the door to talk about the matchmaker!"

"It's that simple?" Zhu Long was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Then I don't need your help, I'll go and ask who has a beautiful girl myself!" Is there anything else you can do? It's okay, I'm leaving! ”

"What's wrong with me, are you procrastinating and not worrying?" Zhu Biao didn't have a good airway.

"Okay, it's me who is verbose, I'm leaving!"

Zhu Long took Wu Yong and others down Liangshan, returned to the camp, and early the next morning, packed up the camp, met Qin Ming and his wife, and set off back to Zhujiazhuang.

Those who accompanied him were Zhu Hu, Wu Yong, Qin Ming and his wife, Xiao Rang, Hu Gang, Lu Fang, Li Yun, Pei Xuan, Jiang Jing, Jin Dajian, Zhu Fei, Huang Fuduan and others, as well as 500 cavalry and 500 infantry.

The Nanda camp in front of the mountain was still garrisoned by Qin Ming's Huozi battalion, Huang Xin and Ma Lin greeted them outside the door, and after a brief exchange of words, they also followed them to continue up the mountain and enter Zhujiazhuang.

Zhu Long and Zhu Hu went to greet Zhu Taigong first, and the old lady scolded them for a long time, saying that she had raised three fake sons.

It turned out that when they were not in the villa, Lin Chong had to say hello to the old lady every day, and Zhu Taigong knew that other people's sons had to say hello to their parents every morning. Thinking of his three sons, he can't see anyone for a few days on weekdays, so he doesn't fight anywhere!

When the two brothers came to the council hall, everyone was already here, and after Qin Ming settled the little sister of Hua, he also came.

When the generals heard that Zhu Long had returned, they also learned that Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan, Jiang Jing, Jin Dajian, Li Yun and others had also surrendered to join Zhujiazhuang, and they came to meet each other.

When Zhu Long came, Lin Chong and Wu Yong were talking cordially, they were old friends.

Although Lin Chong was put on a role by Wu Yong and used him to kill Wang Lun, Lin Chong didn't care about it after thinking about it afterwards, after all, he really wanted to kill Wang Lun, so he could only use each other.

Zhu Long didn't plan to disturb everyone to do business, but here they are, let's have a meeting!

Ascending to the throne, he watched the crowd of heroes gather below, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

Half a year ago, when he convened everyone here to discuss strategies and resist the powerful Liangshan army, there were only four fathers and sons and Luan Tingyu, and later there were Qin Ming and Huang Xin.

Looking around, there are Wu Yong, Luan Tingyu, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Sun Li, Zhu Hu, Shi Xiu, Chen Shou, Hu Gang, Xiao Rang, Lu Fang, Huang Xin, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Yang Xiong, Yang Lin, Deng Fei, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Shi Qian, Sun Xin, Gu Sister-in-law, Le He, Li Yun, Jiang Jing, Jin Dajian, Huang Fuduan, Zhu Kang, Zhu Fei, carefully counted, there are 29 people

plus Zhu Biao, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zou Yuan, Meng Kang, and Tao Zongwang, who were not present, a total of thirty-five generals, not counting Dong Ping!

He enthusiastically introduced, "This is Wu Xuexue, Pei Kongmu, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Jiang, Brother Jin, Li Dutou, and Huangfu!" You are all old friends, even more familiar than me, so you don't need me to introduce you, only Brother Huangfu you don't know yet, he is a great veterinarian!

It's rare that everyone is together and have a meeting! ”

First of all, Lin Chong and Chen Shou introduced the situation in Zhujiazhuang in the past month, nothing special happened, and everything was normal on the whole.

Chen Shou gave a detailed report on the situation in the prisoner camp: "Daguanren, the original 1,876 prisoners in the prisoner camp have all been renovated, and 226 of them know how to craft and can be incorporated into the workshop. 1,230 men are in good physical condition, can use guns and fists, and can replenish the army. The remaining 420 people are not strong enough to continue to work as coolies, and even if they are released, there is nowhere to go, they are all former thieves, and they will be arrested by the government as soon as they return home......"

I wish Long a great joy, there are more than 200 new craftsmen, and more than 1,200 soldiers, this Chen Shou really did not disappoint himself, such subordinates must be promoted and reused!

He said to Chen Shou: "From these recruits, you pick out those who are proficient in water and send them to Liangshan Zhu Biao." Then the four battalions of gold, wood, fire and earth, each selected 200 people, and expanded the two capitals. The rest are assigned to the Guards Battalion! ”

"Yes!" Chen Shou commanded.

Zhu Long praised: "Chen Shou, you did a good job!" From today onwards, the prisoner camp will be officially set up as a battalion, you will be the battalion captain, and Zhu Kang will be the deputy battalion lieutenant! More than 3,000 new captives are handed over to you for training. ”

"Thank you, big official!" Chen Shou said excitedly. Now there are only six battalion lieutenants in Zhujiazhuang, and he is one of them, although he is ranked last, he is already very good.

Zhu Long looked at Luan Tingyu, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Sun Li, and said with a smile: "The four hundred war horses brought back this time, you have been coveting them for a long time, right?" ”

Everyone laughed.

Zhu Long didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "A hundred war horses in each battalion, and a new ranger capital will be set up, responsible for battlefield reconnaissance, intelligence transmission, flank raids and other tasks, you must make good use of it and select the best soldiers!" ”

"Yes!" The four of them laughed.

The military management models of Liangshan and Zhujiazhuang are not the same, and Song Jiang imitated the military system of the Song Dynasty.

During the battle, the leaders went out with their minions, and when they returned to the mountain, the soldiers were separated, and no one knew anyone.

In this way, how effective the army is, just see the Great Song army.

The Zhujia army is that the soldiers are clearly assigned to the generals, and everyone gets along day and night, is familiar with each other, and commands like an arm.

If the army under his command is strong, the main general will have status and face, otherwise he will be like Zhu Hu, his martial arts have made great progress, but his battalion ranks at the bottom, and he was transferred from his post.

Zhu Long continued: "The Dark Guard Battalion has never had a battalion captain, and from today onwards, Shi Xiu is officially the battalion lieutenant of the Dark Guard Battalion. ”

Yang Xiong was the first to congratulate Shi Xiu, Shi Xiu was a little worried, now he was above Yang Xiong, for fear that his righteous brother would be unhappy, and he was really happy to see him, so he put his mind at ease.

"In the future, Wu Xuezhu was my Liangshan confidential military advisor, and he was also in charge of internal affairs; Pei Xuan is a military judge, supervising discipline and exercising military law, including me, all of whom must be supervised by him, and those who violate the law will be punished; Li Yun is the head of the pro-guard battalion; Jiang Jing is the director of money and grain, Huangfuduan is the director of military horses, Xiao Rang is my secretary, and Jin Dajian is also the secretary, who is in charge of building military talismans and letters. ”

Wu Yong took the position of military advisor, which was expected, but he didn't expect to also serve as an internal minister, which shows that Zhu Long trusted and valued him.

Jin Dajian's position gave him a headache, what role can he do as a sculptor and enter an armed military group? had to arrange for the name of a secretary to be given to him, and let him make a military talisman to seal the letter.

But then again, it seems that several of the main generals do not have their own seals, and his craftsmanship is just the right thing to use.

After the meeting was dispersed and everyone dispersed, only Wu Yong and a few battalion lieutenants were left to hold a confidential meeting.

There is a strange phenomenon in ancient and modern times, the more people in the meeting, the less important, the real important thing is always a few people to decide on the matter.

Zhu Long's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and said: "Recently, the battles have continued, and the soldiers are tired, I want to recuperate for a while, what do you think?" ”

"What the lord said is very true, one piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts!" Wu Yong nodded in agreement.

Luan Tingyu said: "The so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, last time we lost Dongping Mansion in a row, I'm afraid they won't give up!" ”

"Well, you still have to step up the training of soldiers, and you can't give up your vigilance!"

"However, even if we defeat the government, they will send more troops to attack us next time, the Great Song Dynasty is so big, a million forbidden troops, how can we resist?"

The person who said this was Xiao Rang, and his words surprised the others, and they even directly questioned the prospects of Zhu Jiajun!

In Zhujiazhuang is not better than Liangshan.

Many small leaders in Liangshan are their own people and join Liangshan, which is equivalent to the minority shareholders of Liangshan Group. Many of them saved Song Jiang's lives, and Song Jiang owed them favors, so Song Jiang and Chao Gai did not have absolute authority, and many times they had to rely on their personality charm to subdue them.

Zhu Long is different, first of all, all the generals of the Liangshan system are defeated under him, and those who surrendered to him after being defeated and captured are already psychologically weak, and they can't look at Zhu Long at the same level!

Secondly, Zhu Long's martial arts, ability, courage, and pattern are not comparable to Chao Gai and Song Jiang, and everyone is convinced and in awe of him.

Therefore, few people usually speak to him like this, and everyone looks at Xiao Rang in surprise.

Zhu Long looked as usual, without any dissatisfaction, and looked at Wu Yongdao with inquiring eyes: "What does the military advisor think?" ”
