Chapter 344: Zengtou City
"It's good that someone comes to defect, but you have to find out who you are, and see if it's a good person or a bad person?"
When the minions under the mountain came to report, Ju Buyi was holding a meeting with several leaders on the mountain, and when he heard this, he said: "Who is going to greet you? Since people are here to visit, we can't give people a cold face." ”
At this time, Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen, Luan Tingyu, Li Ying and others were all in the house, and when they heard Ju Buyi's question, Lu Zhishen got up and said: "Go and see who is coming to join the family, hehe, how many good people can there be who dare to defect to Liangshan?"
Hu Cheng said with a smile: "Only those who have been forced by the imperial court to have nowhere to go to Liangshan dare to defect to Liangshan, but among this kind of people, there are nine out of ten, and their character is worrying." ”
These days, there are also a lot of people in the vicinity to Liangshan, these people think that they can eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl when they arrive at Liangshan, who knows that this is not the case at all when they arrive at the mountain, Liangshan is strictly disciplined, since they go up the mountain, they have to abide by the rules, if they violate the rules, they will be scolded lightly, and they will be whipped and beaten with sticks, some people can not stand it, and they want to escape, so they will be punished as deserters, and they will be beheaded on the spot, so they are merciless, it is the Zhuang households in several Zhuangzi in Dulonggang nearby, there are those who dare to disobey, and they are still beheaded.
Therefore, now on Liangshan, the army is very strict, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others who watched were amazed, they were all born in the imperial army, and naturally understood the good and bad of the army, Lu Zhishen once said to Ju Buyi: "Even I have never seen such a strong soldier under the hands of the small kind of Jingluo Xianggong!"
Also because of the strict rules on the mountain, the traitors who came to Liangshan did not need the government to come forward, so Liangshan naturally arrested them and handed over several Zhuang families such as Zhujiazhuang to the government for disposal.
After a long time, Liangshan's reputation became extremely unbearable in the rivers and lakes, and when it came to Liangshan, everyone shook their heads, sighed, and did their best to slander.
The people who dared to defect to Yangsan, in addition to the people of Jeju who knew about Yangsan nearby, were some outsiders who did not believe in evil, but I don't know who came this time.
After Lu Zhishen went down the mountain, everyone continued to hold a meeting to discuss and deal with what happened every day, and when the meeting was halfway through, Lu Zhishen walked in bloodily and shouted: "Today I came to join us, it was a group of bandit leaders, who killed a family of people, robbed money, tied up a car of women and prepared to give it to Mr. Li, fuck, two were killed by a few Zen sticks of the Sprinkle family, and the rest ran away!"
Ju Buyi said with a smile: "Master, this is also impulsive, this big killing is not important, I am afraid that no one will dare to defect to our Liangshan in the future." ”
Lu Zhishen said: "If all the people who defect are such thieves and prisoners, it is better not to come! On our mountain, what we want is a man who stands up to the sky, not a traitor who does evil for the sake of evil! It doesn't matter if you kill someone, as long as you kill a wicked person, it doesn't matter if you rob a thief, as long as you rob stolen goods, people in the rivers and lakes must also pay attention to morality! Without morality, killing innocents indiscriminately and robbing wantonly are not as good as nothing!"
He is a strong man, he has a righteous spirit in his heart, and he is the most unscrupulous person, so when he does things, his methods are inevitably fierce, and his words are even more undisguised.
Yang Zhi and others also said: "Mr. Li has long said that our Liangshanbo is not a den of bandits, and no one can come in. ”
Ju Buyi nodded and said: "In the future, the rule is to let people set up a stone monument near the Shuibo Wharf, and engrave the words to explain who can go up the mountain, so that such pickled things will not dare to run after seeing them." ”
Immediately, he sent a stonemason to carve a stone tablet and wrote the rules for accepting people in Liangshan to warn those who wanted to defect to Liangshan.
After the launch of this stone stele, within a few days, it spread all over Jeju Prefecture, and in a few days, it spread all over Jiangbei and Jiangnan, which caused the people in the rivers and lakes to laugh and feel at ease in the court.
They all felt that a group of people in Liangshanbo couldn't make a big deal, so they couldn't help but look down on Liangshan.
Although Li Xiake has a good reputation, it is impossible to see that he has any ambitions, so the officials of Jeju Prefecture and the neighboring county towns are relieved.
They didn't know that a group of people who had been trained in Liangshan had long been distributed in various places in the north and south along the canal, secretly developing members, forming small dots, just waiting for the dots to turn into lines, and the lines to turn into surfaces.
Li Xiake's injury was much more serious than he imagined, and the injury that was expected to heal in a year was not recovered until three years later, but in the past three years, Liangshan's people and horses have increased by more than tens of thousands, Chao Gai and others have quietly occupied a large area of land in Laizhou Capital, and mingled with local officials in Laizhou City, tens of thousands of acres of salt fields, hundreds of thousands of catties per month, and a monthly profit of hundreds of thousands, this salt alone is enough to feed tens of thousands of horses.
Later, under the guidance of Li Xiake, Zhu Gui, Du Xing and others tried to brew distilled spirits, and after trying for half a year, they finally made spirits, although they were not very sweet, but they were extremely energetic, and opened a big winery in Jeju Prefecture, only using sorghum to make wine, without other grains, even the imperial court did not ask much.
In this way, the sale of such spirits to the bitter cold land in the north, whether it is the Liao State or the Xixia people, are all full of praise, although the profit is not as good as the sale of illicit salt, but it is also a great entry.
With the increase in money and manpower, Li Xiake transferred Wu Yong to his side, no longer in charge of the salt field, but asked him to set up a shadow guard battalion, which was specifically responsible for finding out news and obtaining intelligence.
This Wu is thick-faced and black-hearted, and he is the most insidious, so it is appropriate for him to be the head of the spy department, this shadow guard camp has been made by him to make a good life and prosper, and in just three years, he has already buried a lot of nails in various parts of the north.
But said that on this day, Li Xiake's body was still recovering, and he was teaching the apprentice Yang Zaixing skills on the mountain, and it was not easy to come to the front, and said: "Teacher, more than 100 war horses bought from Xixia on our mountain, marched to the southwest of Lingzhou, and were robbed by a group of thieves. Ask the teacher to make a decision. ”
Li Xiake was stunned: "You are one of the commanders on the mountain, and you also know the skills of our mountain soldiers, there are still bandits in this world who can withstand the siege of hundreds of elite soldiers?"
Ju Buyi said: "If it is an ordinary bandit, it is a thousand military horses, and it can't compare to dozens of elite soldiers in our Liangshan, but there are too many enemy soldiers and horses, and the children can't resist the enemy,"
Li Xia said: "Just bandits, how many people can there be?"
Ju Buyi said: "Not to mention that there are 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, so we will be defeated and lost, and we have to run." ”
"In the vicinity of Lingzhou, isn't it Yuncheng County? When did there become such a group of strongmen? How capable do they dare to gather 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers? Let's Liangshan Shuibo, 800 miles away, how many soldiers are there? A total of less than 30,000!"
Ju Buyi said: "That place is called Zengtou City, and the governor is called Zeng Lane, who is from Dajin Country, and when he was young, he came to the Central Plains to do some ginseng trading and gathered tens of thousands of family wealth. Because of his strength, he dominated the village and changed its name to Zengtou City. Zeng Lane was a foreign national, and the government did not dare to offend, so the power of Zeng Tou City became bigger and bigger, and no one dared to provoke it. In the past, our mountain people had dealings with the people of Zengtou City, and there were a lot of sorghum spirits, all of which were sold to Zengtou City, and they sold these wines to Jinguo to obtain heavy profits. ”
Li Xia said: "In this case, it should be a friend, how can you still rob our war horse?"
Ju Buyi said: "They have been coveting the secret recipe of our sorghum wine, and they have asked to buy it several times, but Zhu Gui and others only refused to give it to him, so they have hated them, and they want to come to this time to make it difficult, and it is also for the sake of wine." ”
Li Xiake shook his head and smiled: "This expatriate has become an existence that the government does not dare to provoke in the Song Dynasty, but it turns out that my Han people bow their heads when they meet others, is this the beginning?"
He laughed a few times, and instructed Ju Buyi: "Order all the soldiers and horses, go to Zengtou City, I want you to level this Zengtou City in one day and night, can you do it?"
Ju Buyi said: "The children in the mountains have practiced sufficiently in the past two years, and it is the time to serve, not to mention a Zengtou City, it is Jeju Mansion, Qingju Mansion, and it has been won in a day and night!"
