Chapter 803: This Son Has the Appearance of Losing His Country
The leaders of Liangshan's gang were full of grievances, but in the face of Li Kui, when the words came to their mouths, they couldn't speak.
Jiao Ting, this guy! looks good, but he is also a black-hearted lord.
Especially what he does, people can't find fault with it. This is what he is terrible about, if you really want to say, the mistakes are all the leaders of Liangshan, eat and drink to feed them, and complain, isn't this not a good thing?
Although, none of the leaders of Liangshan are good birds, and most of them are gangsters who are traitors.
But these people have a shortcoming, a fatal shortcoming, and they all don't care if it's true or not, and they are all full of stupid things that put righteousness first.
A bandit, when he speaks of righteousness, he is full of weakness.
"Your Excellency...... We're just too idle. ”
Chao Gai is the leader, and he can't let Liu Tang say bad things about Jiao Ting. After all, for Liang Shan, it is dispensable in Li Kui's eyes, and Jiao Ting is Li Kui's real cronies.
Moreover, Jiao Ting is much more difficult to deal with than Wu Song and others under Li Kui.
This guy looks like he is really good to people, but this is so good that even Chao Gai can't afford it.
Although Li Kui was a little puzzled in his heart, he believed in Jiao Ting or believed in Chao Gai more. But in fact, there are still some people on Liangshan who want to follow the imperial court, but have no way, hovering between Li Kui and Chao Gai, but they speak more fairly. For example, the military advisor Wu Yong, Li Kui turned his head and asked Wu Yong: "Is it?" ”
"My lord, the main thing is that Brother Jiao has given too much, too good, so the leaders will change a little. But don't worry, the whole cottage is looking forward to the adult, as long as the adult gives an order, the cottage 5,000 brothers will fight for the adult. Wu Yong's words made Chao Gai feel slightly unhappy in his heart.
It was as if he felt the taste of betrayal.
On the contrary, Li Kui waved his hand, not interested: "Don't say words of allegiance, talk about the situation, who left, and who left behind?" ”
"Brothers Mu Hong and Zhang Heng left, taking hundreds of brothers with them. Everyone else chose to stay. Also, there are a few more brothers from Yuncheng and brothers from other cottages. Now there are more than 20 leaders in the cottage, 5,000 soldiers and horses, and 30,000 stone of grain, which is enough for my army to consume for a year. While speaking, Wu hesitated to kneel down and admit his mistake: "My lord, the villain made an unauthorized claim and gave Mu Hong and others a batch of grain, grass and military salaries, and asked the adults to punish them." ”
"It's good to gather and disperse, people with affection and righteousness are worthy of entrustment, you haven't done anything wrong." Li Kui not only did not get angry, but praised him twice. Won the favor of many Liangshan leaders.
But Li Kui is curious, where did this guy Mu Hong go? Asked: "Is Mu Hong self-reliant?" Or is it a partnership with someone? ”
Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai worriedly, and after Chao Gai nodded, Wu Yong said: "My lord, Mu Hong and the others did not take refuge in other cottages, let alone set up their own doors, but went south. I heard that I was going to Nanyang, and I said that I wanted to break out of the world. ”
This is said as if Mu Hong has great ambitions, but this thing should be encouraged, at least on the surface, so that Chao Gai and the others can feel at ease.
There are many secret agents of the Military Command Bureau on Liangshan, both on the surface and secretly. No wind or grass can escape Li Kui's ears and eyes. What's more, Mu Hong took away the old capital of Liangshan, and there was not much food, let alone military salary. This bit of money and food, if there is no replenishment on the road, this guy will not even be able to reach Qiongzhou. Not to mention crossing the sea to the South Seas.
In his opinion, how could an old bandit and bully like Mu Hong abandon evil and follow good? It must have been a bandit who occupied the territory. There is a saying that accumulating evil is difficult to change, and he is a wicked person in the first place, and I am afraid that he is not used to being a good person in this life.
Li Kui smiled and said: "I will not pursue this matter, this is one of the original conditions, this official has responded, naturally there is no reason to regret it." Everyone, sit down and speak. I would like to reiterate here that it is good to get together and disperse. If you want to leave, you can go generously, and the official will never pursue the past, and will also pay the travel expenses. However, there is a premise, don't be a traitor in the future. This official is an official of the imperial court, and it is a dereliction of duty not to kill a thief. Shameless in the face of the cultivation of the imperial court. Please also respect yourself. ”
Regardless of whether what Li Kui said was true or false, he seemed to attach great importance to Chao Gai and others in his attitude.
This also made Chao Gai and Wu Yong secretly relieved, they are not Gongsun Sheng, this guy hooked up with the imperial master, even if Li Kui is unhappy with him, he will also look at the face of his father-in-law Liu Baosheng, and he will not be embarrassed for him.
But Chao Gai and the others were difficult, they were still preparing to rob the silver car of Huitong Qianzhuang, and they were Li Kui's enemies.
Of course, the price paid by Chao Gai and others was also very large, and Song Jiang died in this face-to-face battle.
Many people can't understand why Chao Gai knelt down and knelt down in front of the 'enemy'.
This is also the reason why someone wants to leave the cottage.
After all, if no one feels the pain on their skin, don't persuade them to let go.
As for Song Jiang?
Chao Gai and his friendship are still on the surface. Only because Chao Gai and his gang were imprisoned would Song Jiang arouse the guilt in the hearts of Chao Gai and others. In addition, Lei Heng and the others are not good people, and Song Jiang's little favor is not enough to convince them. After all, no matter how high Song Jiang's status is, he is just a priest, a failed reader who can't even pass the test.
Compared with Li Kui, it is simply a world of difference.
The children of Sumen, the top ten in the examination, the top three in the palace examination, the Jinshi and the first, and the direct bachelor of Tianzhang Pavilion.
With such an identity, Ken and Chao Gai speak calmly, which is already a great promotion.
What's more, Corporal Lixian asked Chao Gai and the others to sit and talk.
Bai Sheng trembled excitedly, but unfortunately he stood relatively far back and didn't have a chance to speak. finally seized the opportunity, so he naturally wanted to behave: "Bachelor, where is the reason for the villains sitting and talking in front of you?" You are always the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, one of the few talents in the world, especially the adults who command thousands of armies, kill countless enemies, and create well-being for the people of our Great Song Dynasty. Just stand, stand and breathe. ”
Bai Sheng is one of the most unpopular among the leaders on Liangshan, mainly because this guy is not good at martial arts, and he has no other skills. But he was one of the first old brothers to follow Chao Gai up the mountain, and he had to keep it.
But this guy didn't open his eyes, and even if he scolded Li Kui, he even had to rob the big boss.
Let Chao Gai sit in front of Li Kui and speak, to be honest, Chao Gai didn't dare.
Today's Li Kui is no longer the one who rushed to take the exam in the suburbs of Yuncheng back then. It is the military god of the Great Song Dynasty, a noble straight bachelor, and an important minister of the imperial court.
The official authority and momentum brought by being in a high position are not comparable to the gangster black boy at the beginning. Especially the name of the god of killing on the battlefield,
Chao Gai glared at his subordinates angrily, thinking that back then, Bai Sheng was a snob, but he didn't expect that now in order to curry favor with Li Kui, he would say such shameless words, which is simply ...... Where did you learn this? It seems that Li Kui is very happy to hear it!
Chao Gai's heart was mixed, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable.
Another little brother betrayed him, and at the same time he was a little jealous, Bai Sheng flattered Li Kui, and every word was like a heartfelt word, extremely sincere.
But Chao Gai couldn't say anything.
scolded in my heart: damn face, I just want too much face, and I often suffer crimes.
Just when Chao Gai was thinking wildly, Li Kui asked: "Who is this strong man?" ”
"Bai Sheng, the villain is Bai Sheng."
Bai Sheng, how could Li Kui not remember, he has a good memory? When Chao Gai and others were caught, Bai Sheng didn't escape, and Li Kui also whipped this guy with a whip. Later, this guy took refuge in Li Kui. It can be regarded as a shadow planted on Liangshan by the Military Command Bureau. The reason why Li Kui did not show that he had a memory was mainly because his words and deeds could be amplified, and deliberately attaching importance to Bai Sheng would cause dissatisfaction among Chao Gai and others, and would also breed the arrogance of Bai Sheng.
People have to use it.
The key is to use it this way?
Either there is no trace, and at the same time, it is necessary to give Chao Gai and others a sense of urgency.
Li Kui smiled and asked, "What position did you hold on the mountain before?" ”
"The fish market is all over."
"The head of the imperial history? When did Goshi and Dutou get mixed up? Li Kui was puzzled, Yushi was a civil official, and the best one in the capital was the five-grade official, who belonged to the object of being crushed. These two official positions are said to be unearthly, and they can't get together!
The head of the capital is an official position, and it is also a good name. Generally, the head of the third class in the yamen will be called the head of the capital by the people on the interface. There are also officers in the army, and there is also the official position of the head of the capital.
But how can there be a fish market?
Li Kui looked at Wu Yong and asked, "Are you particular?" ”
Wu Xinxin said, don't look at the people and horses in Liangshan Water Village, but the shadow of Shilipo at the beginning is still shrouded in the hearts of all the leaders. Especially even Chao Gai knows that it's okay to mess with anyone, and the only thing in the world is not to mess with Li Kui. As a result, the Li family's industry, Liangshan people did not dare to grab it. The busiest waterway of Wuzhang River and Liangshanbo is the Li family's commercial house, as well as the grain and grass escort of the imperial court, all of which are escorted by the forbidden army sailors, and there are quite a few people.
The former dare not rob it, and the latter can't grab it.
But in the Wuzhang River waterway, the most lucrative business is the Li family's business house and Caoyun, and there is no other way and business.
There is really no way, and the heroes of Liangshan occupy the aquatic products of Yuncheng, Xuxian, and even Qizhou and other places around Liangshanbo. Fishing has become a very important economic source for Liangshan.
According to Bai Sheng's status, he couldn't grab such an important position at all. The reason why he became the head of the fish market is mainly because other leaders dislike this way and are embarrassed, and they don't want to do it, so they cheapen Bai Sheng.
Wu Yong explained: "My lord, the fish market is a place to sell fish, not the imperial history. After speaking, he glanced at Bai Sheng with disdain, you are also worthy of stammering with a scholar? Wu Yong is a scholar, although he is mixed with a group of bandits, but he doesn't look down on vulgar people in his heart.
"Dutou is just a steward given by the mountain, not an official position."
The leader of the fish sellers?
Li Kui touched his chin and looked at Bai Sheng, his eyes were not good, this guy also sent information before, and said unashamedly that he had already secured the fifth position in Liangshan, could it be that the business of selling fish was also a great power?
Wu Yong also wanted to avoid this question, and Li Kui didn't want to ask more.
After going back and forth, Li Kui finally talked about armaments.
Liangshan's previous armament was enough to be a bandit and bandit, but if you want to become a mercenary who attacks the city and plunders the land, it is still far away.
This is not to say that the people on Liangshan are greedy for life and afraid of death, but that the weapons and equipment, training and military discipline are much worse.
In terms of military discipline, Wu is in charge. The weapons and equipment are provided by the Military Command Bureau, and now that Li Kui, the owner of the fund, is here, he wants to come up with some dry goods, so that Li Kui can see that his money has not been lost in the water, and it has been spent where it should be used.
"My lord, my Shuizhai brother is now well-trained and can already fight, and please give me the opportunity to serve my brothers."
After Wu Yong finished speaking, Chao Gai and others also asked one after another.
"Please give me a chance to wait for my brother!"
Li Kui raised his hand and pressed it down, and said, "Don't be in a hurry at this time, since you think that the naval drill is already proficient, then you are ready to go to Dengzhou." ”
"My lord, are you all going?"
"Go for both."
"Isn't this about giving up Liangshan? This cottage is not small, wouldn't it be a pity to give up? ”
Wu Yong didn't speak, looking at Chao Gai with a reluctant look, his heart was stirring, he finally waited for the opportunity to fight on the battlefield and serve the imperial court.
Decisively stopped Chao Gai, took a step forward, hugged his fists and asked, "My lord, who is our opponent?" ”
"Well, at first, you can practice with Goryeo, and then after you are proficient, then you have to prepare to take all the ships off the coast of Goryeo and Liao under your control, and any ships that are not allowed and do not pay are ships of the enemy country, and they can be robbed."
It's time for Li Kui to throw some news to Wu Yong and the others to stimulate them.
Of course, these are all true.
Whether it is Goryeo or Liao, it can be a target.
Hearing that he was going to train, Liu Tang was not happy, patted his chest and said: "My lord, we are skilled in training ships, why don't you believe us?" ”
Wu Yong hurriedly stopped: "Brother Liu Tang Mo Hu said, the lord said so, naturally he has a reason. ”
Li Kui was not angry, and pointed to the east and said: "Set off in three days, above the blue sea in the east, it will be the place where our sons and daughters will fight......"
Li Kui's words are very straightforward, and they are also so that Liu Tang and others can understand. They are still bandits, but the business has grown.
I understood, but Chao Gai, Liu Tang, Lei Heng and the others were all confused, and after leaving, they chased after Wu Yong and asked: "Sir, what Lord Li said doesn't seem to be the way of a mercenary group, but a ......."
Wu Yong also had two words popping up in his head: water bandits.
Li Kui's requirements for them really seem to be cultivated in the direction of water bandits. Of course, they are too small, and Li Kui's purpose in cultivating them is to become pirates.
If you really want to be a water bandit, isn't it good to be in Liangshan? Why do you have to go to Dengzhou, wouldn't it be stupid to go far and far?
Wu Yong couldn't figure out Li Kui's thoughts, and refused to say that he couldn't tell a reason, so he pretended to be profound: "My lord's move must have a deep meaning, I estimate that my lord wants to bless the sea, so that overseas countries know how to surrender." ”
Lei Heng touched his chin, looked at Wu Yong who was far away, and muttered: "How do we feel that we are changing places or being the life of a water bandit?" ”
Zhu Tong's face changed, and he reminded: "Don't talk nonsense. ”
Not to mention the relocation of Liangshan cottage.
Mi Fu, who was sent to Beijing in Liao, completed the mission in a daze, and then returned to the capital in a daze. When he arrived in the capital and visited Su Zhe, he inexplicably heard an unbelievable comment from the other party: "Yuanzhang, have you made meritorious service again?" ”
Mi Fu was frightened, he didn't remember what he did.
It's not going to be merciful everywhere in the Liao Kingdom, and it's also a meritorious service to the Great Song Dynasty, right?
But Su Zhe is the deputy minister, the big man in charge of the province, how can he be targeted?
Mi Fu pondered for a while, seemed to feel that he was very important, thought of the envoy to Liao, he was not all confused by the beauty of the foreign country, there is also a sober time. Immediately straightened his chest and said awe-inspiringly: "Ziyou, I found out that the new monarch of Liao has the appearance of a dead country? ”
Su Zhe was shocked?
Mi is confused, can you see that the king of a country has the appearance of a kingdom?
Really?
The main reason is that Mi Fu is very unreliable, and Su Shi, Wang Shu friends, and Su Zhe also has dealings. The title of "confused" is not pressed on him indiscriminately, but Mi Fu is really confused as an official, and he has never looked at the right person, nor has he done the right thing.
He didn't dare to let him take care of big things, and he couldn't look down on small things.
This is the real Mi Fu.
And suddenly said that the monarch of Liao has the appearance of the country, Mi Fu, you take yourself too seriously, right?
Besides, Su Zhe has never heard of Mi Fu will look at the face.
Where did he get his confidence?
