Chapter 829: The Clan's Cooperation
"Officials?"
Sun Lei touched his chin and pondered, he had thought about this problem before, but he had never come up with any good solution.
is like Chen Jinnan's sentence: After reading the book, most of the sensible people have already been officials in the imperial court.
Sun Lei naturally doesn't admit that his subordinates are stupid people, but when it comes to being officials and governing the place, these brothers under him are really not that material.
"It's okay, just take care of it! Mr. Wen worry a little more. ”
Sun Lei thought for a while before he spoke, at this time, even if he issued a list to recruit, it would be far away to save the fire, not to mention that now Zhao Song's prestige is still there, and most of the scholars are still standing on the side of the court.
"Brother, it's not that the younger brother is afraid of being tired, it's just that in these eighteen states, the younger brother is really ......"
Wen Huanzhang said with a wry smile, he has always wanted to enter the court as an official, and he has been unable to ask for it for more than ten years; Now that the grass has fallen, he is distressed because his official position is too big.
"Mr. Wen, although most of our Liangshan brothers are martial artists, and they have no ink on their chests, their hearts are not bad, you don't have to worry about small things, let them take care of them, although they will be violent, but in troubled times, you should use heavy codes, this is no way, you just take care of some big things."
Sun Lei was embarrassed when he saw Wen Huanzhang, knowing that it was indeed too embarrassing for him to be alone in such a big mess.
"Brother, little brother will do his best!"
Wen Huanzhang clasped his fists and saluted.
"Mr. Wen doesn't have to worry too much, everything will be done according to the rules of our Liangshanbo, and if we clean up all the places, there won't be too many things."
Sun Lei said again, as long as the government, bullies, splashers, and those big landlords who are unkind to the rich are dealt with, everything will be over.
How much big can the common people have? In this era, the jurisdiction of the government was only at the county level, and the lower levels were in a state of autonomy for a long time, and Liangshanbo only needed to control these eighteen prefectures and more than a hundred counties.
"Brother isn't going to recruit some learned people?"
Wen Huanzhang looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"If they are all like several military advisors, I will naturally meet them backwards! But if you only want to be an official and make a fortune, then you don't have to! ”
Sun Lei shook his head, he has high requirements for Liangshan, and there can be no black sheep.
In addition, he can't recruit people as officials casually, his brothers have followed him to the death to this day, if he recruits someone to come over at this time and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, what do the brothers think? Yue Fei led the troops only after his military exploits.
"Strategist, but someone is looking for you?"
Sun Lei looked at Wen Huanzhang and asked.
"Brother, there are some clans that everyone wants to cooperate with our Liangshan!"
Wen Huanzhang opened his mouth and said, there are many big families in Shandong, and now Liangshanbo is huge, so naturally some people want to cooperate.
"Cooperation? The military advisor helped me refuse! ”
Sun Lei waved his hand.
"Brother doesn't want to work with them?"
Wen Huanzhang's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Sun Lei to refuse, this is a good thing to rapidly expand his strength, people who have raised troops to establish a dynasty since ancient times are inseparable from the support of powerful clans, such as the Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties.
"I don't want to!"
Sun Lei replied decisively.
"Do you think I'm too arrogant?"
Sun Lei asked with a smile.
"Little brother doesn't dare, my brother has such a deep meaning!"
Wen Huanzhang said with some trepidation, he was worried that there would be a gap with Sun Lei, which he didn't want to see.
"For the sake of me, I know that my Liangshanbo is indeed a poor talent, but some people can't accept it, even if they are of great use to my Liangshan!"
"The military advisor is erudite, since he knows that the rebellion needs the support of these clans, then he naturally knows that these people are the easiest to lose, they are different from us, in their eyes, the interests of the family are above all else, and they will not hesitate to cause chaos in the world for the sake of the interests of the family."
Sun Lei got up and Wen Huanzhang went to the outside of the Juyi Hall, where you can just look at the entire Liangshanbo.
"If I accept to cooperate with them now, then I am afraid that this butcher's knife will cut a lot of his own people in the future! I don't want to see brothers kill each other! ”
Sun Lei pointed to the army being trained on the golden beach.
Wen Huanzhang was shocked, he didn't expect Sun Lei to have thought of this layer.
"Brother, little brother knows!"
Wen Huanzhang hurriedly saluted Sun Lei.
Wen Huanzhang naturally knows the disadvantages of cooperating with the family, and the fundamental reason for the slaughter of heroes after the founding of the previous dynasties is that the nobles compete with the emperor for power, and the most important thing for those nobles is the current clan of the former family.
The battle for power will eventually be lost, Sun Lei is not a person who will compromise, if that day comes, a bloodbath will be inevitable.
And what the family clan is best at is marriage infiltration, and they will definitely marry the women in the family to Sun Lei or the leaders of Liangshan, so as to bind the two parties to death.
If that day comes, maybe the brothers who live and die together will turn against each other, and the movement at that time is terrible to think about.
"Strategist, you'd better see those people rarely, I don't doubt Strategist, I'm just afraid that Strategist will be difficult to do, and let Li Kui go when those people come in the future!"
Sun Lei looked at Wen Huanzhang and said, Wen Huanzhang is also a literati, this literati is a crepe, in the face of the soft grinding and hard bubbles of those big families, it is definitely not good to refuse hard-handedly.
"Iron Bull?"
Wen Huanzhang's face froze, what else would Li Kui do besides swinging his fist and swinging an axe?
"Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable, let those people enjoy it!"
Sun Lei laughed and said, Li Kui is also useful, let him sit in the office, let him chase flies is a must.
After arranging things, Sun Lei went down to Liangshan, came to Jinsha Beach and took a boat to the water, and Lin Chong was leading the training army.
"Brother!"
Lin Chong saw Sun Lei coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute.
"How are the captives training?"
Sun Lei looked at Lin Chong and asked.
"Brother, don't worry, although it is a little deserted in Tokyo, after these months of training, it is already useful!"
Lin Chong smiled and hugged his fists.
"How many stayed?"
Sun Lei nodded.
"50,000 people, most of the rest have families in Tokyo, those who paid the ransom were dismissed, and the rest were sent to the Tao Zongwang brothers to work."
Lin Chong replied that Liang Shanbo could never be forced to recruit troops, and those who were willing would stay, and those who were unwilling would either pay money for redemption or do coolies.
"Fifty thousand? Yes, with these people, we have nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses in Liangshan! ”
Sun Lei nodded with satisfaction and said, now that he occupies such a large territory, it is not possible to have enough soldiers and horses to defend it.
"Didn't you go to Puzhou to find Wang Huan and those people to train soldiers?"
Sun Lei looked at Lin Chong and asked, these newly collected soldiers and horses need a real combat test.
"Brother, Puzhou is now a strong wall, and they even connected the rivers and ditches, created a moat, and built a strong camp!"
Lin Chong shook his head and said, he wanted to pull out to practice soldiers, but there was no place to fight around Liangshan, and he couldn't expand westward to provoke Tokyo.
"Well, transfer these recruits to Cangzhou after the year!"
Sun Lei thought for a while and said, next year there will be a lot of wars in the north, whether it is the Jin army going south, or Tong Guan's northern expedition, or the Liao counterattack, it will require a large number of soldiers and horses.
