Water Margin official

Liangshan Dazhai, inside Juyi Hall.

Zhang Zhengdao was sitting on the main seat, and on both sides sat the village leaders who came after hearing the news.

Looking around, he first set his sights on the three big men standing in the hall.

One of them has big arms and a round waist, nine feet in length, three teeth covering his mouth and a mustache, a square face and broad shoulders, erect eyebrows and round eyes, and two thick arms, as if he has the strength of a buffalo.

"My name is Bian Xiang, and brother Su Sheng told me to go up the mountain." The big man shouted in a loud voice.

Is this the fierce general Bian Xiang?

The more Zhang Zhengdao looked, the more delighted he became. Unexpectedly, Du Qian and others actually found him.

"These two are good brothers I met at the village. One is called Lu Zhen and the other is Kou Chen." Bian Xiang took the initiative to introduce the two behind him.

"We are from Lucheng City, Longde Prefecture, and we are all farmers who cultivate land for Zhang Yuanwai in the city. Two months ago, Brother Suisheng found us and said that Liangshanbo was recruiting villagers and asked us to come and invest in the mountain.

They say there is wine and meat every day here." The man said honestly: "Brother Weisheng really didn't lie to me. During this period of time, we have been drinking and eating meat every day in the mountains, and we are a little tired of eating."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Ruan Xiaowu said: "Brother Bian Xiang, how about we eat wine and meat later and give you some wild vegetables?"

Bian Xiang said anxiously: "That's not possible. You eat meat and drink wine, but let me eat wild vegetables. Don't you treat me as an outsider?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Brother Bian Xiang can join me in Liangshan, so he should be treated the same as all the brothers."

"Come here, add three top chairs." While his men were going to get the top chairs, Zhang Zhengdao asked again: "Brother Bian Xiang, have my three brothers Du Qian, Shi Qian and Sui Sheng ever said anything?

, where are they going?"

Lu Zhen, who was behind Bian Xiang, replied: "Brother Du Qian once said that they were going to Jingyuan Road to look for the 'Fantasy Demon Lord' Qiao Daoqing and the 'Dragon Slayer' Sun An, so we brothers should surrender to Liangshan first."

After listening to this, Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "I have been running all the way to recruit talents for the village, but my three brothers have suffered a lot."

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "Master, now that our reputation in Liangshan has spread far and wide, the world's heroes will definitely take refuge in us."

"I hope so!" Zhang Zhengdao immediately smiled and said: "This time I went down the mountain, not only did I earn nearly 200 good horses for the village, but I also brought down the dry tree mountain and brought back 50,000 guan of money."

"This time I went to make money in the Zengtou market. All the brothers have contributed a lot. I will discuss the merits and reward them after discussing with the military advisor." Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand and decided to carry out the first "small scale silver distribution" in the village.

.

All the leaders were overjoyed, and Wang Lun, who returned to the stronghold first, was smiling from ear to ear.

After they took the three top chairs and placed them, Bian Xiang, Lu Zhen, and Kou Chen thanked them, then sat down and officially became the leaders of Liangshan.

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "The leader of the village has made a lot of money from our village. Now he has accepted three leaders. It is a double happiness. I am very happy."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "We were founded in Liangshan less than a year ago. Now we have more than ten leaders, two thousand navy troops, and one thousand infantry troops. It can be said that we are thriving."

Glancing at Bian Xiang, Zhang Zhengdao said seriously: "The village now has two hundred excellent horses from the North. Although it is a little short, I intend to set up a horse army first, called 'Flying Cavalry'. This horse army is huge."

Brother Bian Xiang will be the leader."

Everyone was surprised to hear that Zhang Zhengdao actually handed over the Shanzhai cavalry army to Bian Xiang's command, but after spending several days with this straightforward man, they also knew a little bit about his abilities.

Although Bian Xiang was born as a farmer, he has strong arms and is good at wielding a mountain-breaking ax. No one in this village can rival him.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhang Zhengdao continued: "Lü Zhen and Kou Chen are the deputy commanders of the 'Flying Cavalry Army'."

Bian Xiang, Lu Zhen, and Kou Chen all stood up and shouted: "Yes!"

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at Ling Guang and Wen Zhongrong, and said slowly: "If there are brothers who are proficient in cavalry and archery among the 'Gongshan' and 'Hanshan' armies, first two hundred people will be transferred to the 'Flying Cavalry' army.

Please don't mind me, two brothers."

Ling Guang and Wen Zhongrong both stood up and said, "Just listen to my brother's orders."

Waving his hand to signal them to sit down, Zhang Zhengdao said: "I am in Liangshan, and I have recruited heroes from all over the world. I do not go up the mountain in order of priority. I am ranked according to my means. I only do things according to my responsibilities. I hope all brothers will know this."

"If I am not in the stronghold, all matters in the stronghold will be decided by the military advisor." Zhang Zhengdao formally determined Wen Huanzhang's responsibilities.

Wen Huanzhang was moved and quickly stood up and said: "Wen will definitely not let down the strong trust of the village leader."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded, then stood up and said: "In March next year, I intend to send troops overseas to capture Tamna Island at the southern end of Goryeo, and create a good foundation for immigration and reclamation in Liangshan."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall was shocked. Except for a few people who knew the inside story, they were not surprised. The other leaders were all shocked.

Even Wang Lun was shocked and dumbfounded. He had never thought that the owner of Liangshan Park had such great ambitions.

Zhang Zhengdao paced back and forth in the Juyi Hall with his hands behind his back, suppressing the boiling blood in his heart, and continued: "Now, our Liang Shanshui Army, infantry army, and cavalry army have different organizational structures, but their personnel establishments are different.

”

"From today on, the two navy armies, 'Pinghai' and 'Talang', will rapidly expand to two thousand men each." Zhang Zhengdao said to Ruan Sanxiong: "No matter what method you use, we must be ready in March next year.

, be ready to go to sea."

Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi stood up at the same time and shouted: "Brother, don't worry."

Ruan Xiaoer said: "My younger brother has sent people to Banqiao, Mizhou and other places to recruit boatmen and helmsmen who have gone to sea. When the four sea-going ships purchased come back, our Pinghai navy will start training at sea. matters."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Although it is a little urgent to send troops in March next year, the sea is very rough and rough, and if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. Therefore, we want to be safe and secure when we go to sea this time. We must make sure that the sailors are safe." , the training is foolproof."

Ruan Xiaoer clasped his fists and said, "Brother, village leader, don't worry, I'll spare you the trouble, little brother."

"The two armies of 'Attack Mountain' and 'Hanshan' have also been expanded to 2,000 men each, and training has been stepped up. After March next year, after Tamna is captured, there will be an infantry army to guard the giant island. It is the responsibility It's important." Zhang Zhengdao looked at Ling Guang and Wen Zhongrong.

The two men stood up and shouted: "Little brother, take the order!"

Wen Zhongrong smiled and said: "The leader of the village doesn't know something. My ancestors and my brother Cui Ye's are both Korean people and lived in the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. Although our brothers have never been to Korea, we are quite familiar with some of the local customs and customs." Comprehensive."

Zhang Zhengdao laughed and said: "It seems that your two infantry armies no longer have to fight. In March next year, your 'Hanshan' army will go to sea with the navy to expedition to Tamluo."

When Ling Guang heard this, he said angrily: "My little brother refuses to accept the defeat."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Brother Lingguang, don't be discouraged. When we capture Goryeo in the future, you will have the opportunity to make contributions."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Zhang Zhengdao actually planned to capture Goryeo, and then their hearts became hot. If they could really occupy a foreign land, wouldn't they all be the founding fathers of the country, and they would be granted the title of marquis and prime minister just around the corner.

Seeing the fire in everyone's eyes, Zhang Zhengdao took the initiative to pour cold water on them and said: "Now our village has few people, insufficient soldiers, and poor military preparations. Although we have the ambition to break the sky, we must be cautious. We can't One wrong step."

"With the strength of Liangshan, if we can successfully capture Tamluo Island next year, it will be the limit. Only when we move some of the people of the Song Dynasty there in the future can we have the foundation to raise troops." Zhang Zhengdao said with a stern face: "Brothers, don't be proud. To be complacent, the road must be walked step by step, and the food must be eaten one bite at a time!”
