After entering the new year, the upper echelons of the Jin State saw that the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty had further declined after last year's drought, so they stepped up their efforts to urge the Great Liao military to reorganize their armaments and war, and after preparing for the autumn harvest this year, they entered the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty and plundered it on a large scale, and took the opportunity to surround the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and coerced the Great Song Dynasty to sign an alliance under the city, demanding a large amount of property and benefits.

And the Song Dynasty military, not long after the end of the New Year, under the control of Yang Jian and others, and at the instigation of Qin Hui, they actually wanted to do something stupid about the relatives and the enemies.

The reason is that Qin Hui's plan to destroy the Taihang Mountain base area a year ago completely failed, not only did not bring down the Yang family's army, but instead funded more than one million of them, making Taihang Mountain a lively area like the Daimyo Mansion, Tokyo City, and Yangzhou Mansion.

With this newly added million people, it is only a matter of time before Taihang Mountain prospers.

Therefore, Wang Hao, Yang Jian, Qin Hui and others were unwilling, not only cut off all the food and salary of the Yang family's army, but also found an oil head, slandered them for gathering people to rebel, and prepared to adjust the army to encircle and suppress them.

At the same time, the Jin people were planning to make Tian Hu and Wang Qing, the two vicious dogs they had raised for several years, rebel and officially erect the royal flag to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty.

In the past few years, Tian Hu has made a lot of money and accumulated a lot of money and grain by doing business with the Wantong Chamber of Commerce. In particular, last year's severe drought took the opportunity to shelter a large number of young and strong, and if he organized an army, he could immediately organize 300,000 horses.

In Tian Hu's general village, an important person came last year, and he won his respect.

This person's name is Song Jiang, the expression is Gongming, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called timely rain. This man was born short, with a dark complexion, and acquaintances called him Kurosaburo.

This Song Jiang family is extremely wealthy, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land. And when he was a teenager, his father discovered a silver mine on one of his family's firewood mountains.

His father, Song Taigong, quietly took care of people and mined, and sent his family to watch, and he earned an extra two thousand taels of silver every year.

When Song Jiang was young, his father asked someone to tell him a fortune, saying that although he could not take the right path to enter the office, after the age of thirty, his fate might take a turn, so that the two brothers could enter the official career. It's just that this son is a money-consuming life, and only by dispersing the family wealth will he regain his wealth.

Although the two brothers have been studying since childhood, they are not outstanding in their studies. When Song Jiang was eighteen years old, he spent a lot of effort and won a showman, and his brother was purely not a student of reading.

Although Song Jiang is not good at reading, he is extremely smart. His father found that he was born with organizational leadership skills, and when he was a child in the village, he organized children to play a game of catching thieves and robbers.

At the same time, don't look at his small size, he likes to dance knives and guns since he was a child, and he has taught martial arts to his family since he was a child.

Because the family had money, after reaching the age of fourteen or fifteen, Song Jiang proposed to go on a study tour.

Song Taigong did not fully believe the statement that "only by scattering all the wealth can you get rich". For the convenience of money, always satisfy him a lot.

Song Jiang wanted to go on a study tour, so he asked him to go with plenty of silver. So at the age of fifteen, Song Jiang took two bodyguards, called two or three classmates, and went outside for three years, and this adventure made a name for timely rain.

Because he set off with a lot of money, he encountered difficulties when he thought he was a famous man in the rivers and lakes, and he always responded to his requests, and it was not a problem to send a plate to the road......

After returning to his hometown at the age of eighteen to be admitted to Xiucai, he vowed not to study hard anymore, so his father spent money to find him a scribe in the county yamen. Helped the county to copy documents and count taxes and money.

Because he was very good at camping and willing to spend money, two years later he became the head of the county scribes.

After becoming the boss, Song Jiang made friends with celebrities in the county, and became prosperous in the small Yuncheng County.

He Sihao was not ashamed of being a little official, but set a tone for himself: the knife and pen dared to chase Xiao Xiangguo, and his reputation did not allow Meng Weijun.

Meng Weijun, who positioned himself as the head of the four sons of the Warring States Period, and Xiao He, who positioned his copywriting ability as the head of the three masters of the early Han Dynasty. Soon, Shandong's reputation for timely rain in Song Gongming and Song Zhisi's righteousness and squandering wealth spread all over the rivers and lakes again......

Only Zhao Chongyang, who has thousands of years of knowledge, knows that at that time, what everyone saw and heard was only the superficial phenomenon of Song Jiang, in essence, Song Jiang is a typical character with multiple personalities:

On the one hand, he is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he has shown a good public image in the rivers and lakes and in public, and has become a star in Shandong.

On the other hand, Song Jiang is a figure with a strong desire for power, and he feels that since he is not inferior to Meng Weijun in terms of benevolence and righteousness, and his ability to handle government affairs and convenience can be compared with Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty, then he should be like them, harvesting countless younger brothers, and living a life of hugging from front to back, and even drinking wind and rain.

Therefore, he is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he is righteous and squandering money in order to harvest a part of the younger brother who will follow him for life. Of course, there is no shortage of star chasers on the rivers and lakes at any time, so Song Jiang can finally respond to every call......

In essence, Song Jiang is a celebrity with a strong desire for power and hypocrisy. Therefore, Zhao Chongyang repeatedly warned the subordinates of Shandong Wantong Chamber of Commerce to keep a distance from Song Jiang and try not to intersect with him.

In this way, Li Kui, Wu Song, Chai Jin and others, who admired Song Jiang very much in another time and space, still do not know him. is that Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Ruan Sanxiong, Bai Sheng and others, who are fellow villagers of Song Jiang, are only acquaintances with Song Jiang, but they have no deep friendship.

Song Jiang knew that he was not destined to be a disciplined person, so he was not a woman, and he had no plans to start a family in his twenty-six or seventeen.

Although his father, Song Taigong, asked the media to tell him about his relatives, he couldn't get high, he couldn't get low, and he refused to start a family.

The year before last, that is, the second year of Zhao Chongyang's establishment of the Dasheng Kingdom overseas, the father of Yan Poxi, a courtesan in Yuncheng County, died, and there was no money for burial.

Yan Poxi decided to sell herself to bury her father. After Song Jiang knew about this incident, he felt that this was a filial daughter and should be helped, so he paid to help her bury her father.

The matchmaker who had good deeds said to Yan's mother: "Your daughter has been left in the dust, which has made your mother and daughter's life difficult. Now it is rare for the famous Song Absis to help you get through the difficulties, according to the old woman's opinion, it is better to marry your daughter to Oshisi as a concubine, and your mother and daughter will have the back half of their bodies to rely on. ”

When Yan's mother heard this, she consulted with her daughter. Yan Po regretted and said: "I'm afraid that the Detention Division will not look down on us lowly people." ”

When Yan's mother heard this, she knew that her daughter was willing, so she said to the matchmaker: "Then you will be annoyed to talk about it when you get old, and the matter will naturally be indispensable to your benefits." ”

So, this mother-in-law ran to Hei Saburo Song Jiang, unfolded her tongue that was not rotten, and preached to Song Jiang: "The old woman knows that you are a big celebrity in Yuncheng County, and everyone says that you treat your friends with everything you want, and you are righteous. But the old woman thinks that there is a big stain on you. ”

Song Jiang smiled disappreciatively: "Oh, is it? I don't know what my stain is? ”

"Unfilial piety!" The matchmaker said solemnly.

At that time, people valued the word "filial piety" the most, and Song Jiang heard this mother-in-law say that he was not filial, and he was furious: "You mother-in-law has to talk nonsense!" I miss Song Jiang knowing books and etiquette, and being humble and polite in front of my father since I was a child. Even when I was the head of the prefecture, after I finished my official duties, I would go home at any time to say hello to my father. ”

"I ...... Why am I not filial now? This is an extraordinary question, you have to explain it to me, or I won't finish it for you. ”

"Don't be angry, and let me tell you slowly. What kind of sage did you scholars say, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. But you are now in your twenties, and you have not married a wife or had children, and of course you have no queen, isn't it a great unfilial piety. ”

"It's... I just haven't married a wife for the time being, and it's not that I won't marry a wife in this life, how can this be considered unfilial? ”

"Why doesn't that count? I heard that your younger brother has a son who is five or six years younger than you, but you still have no plans to be a brother, in everyone's mind, you have long passed the age of marrying a wife and having children, and you are already unfilial. ”

"I know that you have been worried that after marrying a wife, you will not be free, which will affect your friends. Actually, you can take a concubine first. If you take a concubine and give birth to a son, you will have a queen, and your father will not urge you to marry a wife every day. ”

"But concubines are different from wives, concubines have a low status, and they don't dare to care about your friendships, and they don't care if you use your money to help others."

When Song Jiang heard this, his heart moved: "You are right, if I marry a concubine first and give birth to a son, others will no longer say that I am not filial." ”

In this way, Song Jiang was pressed by the matchmaker with an unfilial hat, and gently agreed to take Nayan Po as a concubine and built an outer room in the county seat.

But this Song Jiang is a person who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, after accepting a concubine, he is always indifferent in the face of a beautiful concubine with affection, and at the beginning of a period of time, he also copes with the general daily routine and goes there to drink and eat, and comes back to sleep on time at night.

Half a year later, I slowly alienated Yan Poxi, only came once every three or five days, and often got drunk and fainted, and fell asleep after arriving here.

That afternoon, Song Jiang was drunk with several subordinate scribes, and his subordinate scribe named Zhang Sanlang sent him to Yan Poxi.

After arriving here, Song Jiang asked Yan Po to pour wine for Zhang San to drink, and he himself went to bed.

After Yan Poxi poured wine for Zhang San, Zhang San stayed to drink. This Zhang San is a womanizer, and when he saw that Bu Yan Po was born charming, he tried to say with words: "Why don't you sit down and drink a double cup together." ”

The corners of Yan Poxi's mouth were raised, and her eyes stared at Zhang San deeply: "Drink you big-headed ghost, the black guy woke up after a while, and thought that the slave family was hooking up with you." ”

When Zhang Sanyi heard this, he thought to himself: "Are you afraid that the priest will not be willing to know about it, if you don't know, you will be willing." ”

Zhang San took a sip of the wine and left a message: "Then tomorrow, when Oshiji is not there, how about I come to meet the lady?" ”

Yan Poxi heard this, hurriedly glanced at the inner room where Song Jiang slept, and when she saw that there was no movement, she got up and ran towards her mother's room, walked to the door, half-covered her face with her long sleeves, and smiled at Zhang San......
