Chapter 1: Ten Years of the Northern Song Dynasty

Next Chapter

In 1116 AD, the sixth year of Hui Zongzhenghe.

The officials in Tokyo City were nepotistic above the government and the opposition, and vigorously reused Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu, Yang Jian and other traitors to play courtiers, making politics and metallurgy chaotic, and selling officials and lords became a common practice; In various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, the "Huashi Gang" was procured on a large scale, and officials at all levels expropriated and extorted money violently, making the people of the world miserable.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was already full of holes, bandits were rampant in the state capital, strongmen were everywhere, and chaos was rampant, and the world was like a huge powder keg, just waiting for the last bit of fire, it would explode.

......

Outside Yanggu County, Yunzhou, Shandong boundary, there is a dangerous place, called Dulonggang, there are three Zhuangzi on the post, respectively called Zhujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang lives in the center, it is also the largest Zhuangzi, the leader of the three villages.

On a sloping lawn next to Pantuo Road, a young man in white lies quietly, his eyes seem to be open, and he lets the snowflakes fall on his body, as if he is integrated into the surroundings.

The young man in white is called Zhu Biao, the third son of Zhu Chaofeng, the old lady of Zhujiazhuang, who has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child, and now he is actually the person who talks about this Dulonggang Sanzhuang. However, no one knew that this Zhu Biao, after he fell into a coma when he was ten years old, was not Zhu Biao.

Since the age of sixteen, the three Zhuangzi on Dulonggang have been taken care of by Zhu Biao as a monolith, like a village.

For Li Jiazhuang, the owner of the village is a carving - Li Ying, who has been in love with Zhu Biao for several years; Hu Cheng, the Flying Tiger of Hujiazhuang, grew up with Zhu Biao since he was a child and has a deep relationship. His sister Hu Sanniang is a childhood sweetheart with Zhu Biao, and she has already made a marriage contract, and she will hold a wedding when the ice and snow melt in the coming year.

Although the general trend is irreversible, the small trend can be changed.

Over the years, with his own familiarity with the plot and his understanding of the general trend of the world, under the leadership of Zhu Biao, Dulonggang Sanzhuang's business has become bigger and bigger, and the scale of private soldiers on the post has also become larger and larger.

Money comes and goes quickly, in the context of the times at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhu Biao knows that it is useless to have money alone, once the torrent of history hits, under the iron hooves of the nation that roars out from between the white waters of Black Mountain, no matter how much money is just the moon in the mirror, like foam, it will break when you touch it.

Over the past few years, there have been heroes in distress who have come to Zhujiazhuang, and Zhu Biao will take good care of them, and when they leave, they will give gold and silver to save people in danger;

In any disaster year, Zhu Biao will also open the door of the village, pull the gold, silver, money, food and clothing in the village one by one, give clothes and ask for warmth, build a tent and porridge, and help the people in Shandong.

With his righteous and squandering money, handsome appearance, outstanding martial arts, and skillful bow and horse, Zhu Biao left a "hero" name in the rivers and lakes.

And because of the great good deeds, help the poor and save the poor, by the people of Shandong territory, called - Taishan Jun, which means that like the Shandong boundary of Dongyue Taishan Mansion Jun, yin and yang, good and evil are divided into yin, benevolence, righteousness and integrity, and protect the people.

......

Although he tried his best to accumulate capital for himself, Zhu Biao never interfered in the early life experiences of the main heroes in the Water Margin. For Zhu Biao, as long as he is familiar with the time node, he can repair some things a little.

In ten years, Zhujiazhuang is just one more fallen sect leader from Tokyo City, a rural teacher from outside Tokyo City, a thief from Gao Tang Prefecture, and two young men from Kageyama.

......

The so-called heroes in the Water Margin, in Zhu Biao's opinion, most of them are exaggerated, and there are very few who can really be called heroes.

This is an era of lack of heroes, and this is also an era of need for heroes!

What Zhu Biao wants to do is simple and complex, so that those who can become heroes become heroes, and those who want to be heroes become heroes as much as possible.

......

The golden crow fell to the ground, blooming ten thousand rays of light, as if in order to meet the occasion, the original small snow gradually turned into a goose feather-like snow, and the night came quietly.

Zhu Biao stood up slowly, and a red-clothed young man not far behind him walked forward, and after arriving beside Zhu Biao, he carefully dusted off the snow on his body and put on the brocade robe that had been prepared.

"Childe, the lady of the Zhang family has been here for a long time, let me not disturb you, I have been waiting for you over there." The young man in red looked behind him and gestured.

Zhu Biao looked at the young man's line of sight, smiled at the gentle woman standing not far away, and then looked at the end of the official road under the post and said.

"Lu Fang, you are guarding here, someone is coming to call me."

There are some people in this world who will never be able to see themselves in the sun without experiencing a nightmarish long night.

Without a bone-chilling experience, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms!

Today, Zhu Biao and others, his "cold", now I am afraid that it is cold to the bones; But his "incense", in this era, has never bloomed.
