Water Margin official

Liangshan Dazhai.

In the Juyi Hall, a group of leaders gathered together. Zhang Zhengdao looked around and, according to the old rules, waited for the four men of different heights, fat and thin standing in the hall to introduce themselves.

These people are all people from the green forest who came to the mountain to seek refuge in recent times.

"I studied in Yu Shefang on Xiahe East Road, and I met the village leader!" A tall man with a somewhat elegant air among them bowed his hand and saluted.

Zhang Zhengdao was puzzled, why did this man come to Dazhai, so he asked: "Why did Mr. Fang come to Liangshan?"

Fang Xuedu smiled bitterly and replied: "To be honest, in the past two years, there has been an Orion Tian Hu in Weisheng Prefecture. He has fabricated rumors, incited ignorant people, gathered people to rebel, and constantly attacked prefectures and counties. Yushe has long been under his rule."
"This Tianhu is cruel and cruel. He only knows how to plunder property and does not know how to govern the people with kindness. Sooner or later, he will be defeated." Fang Xuedu has practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child. He is quite talented and can naturally see clearly.

"I heard that Liangshanbo in Jeju was a man of justice, rewarded good and punished evil, and recruited heroes from all over the world, so he came here with this Jinding brother." Fang Xuedu glanced at Wen Zhongrong and continued: "When I came,

On the way, I heard that the Three Hercules of Huguan and Baodu Mountain are now joining the group in Liangshan, and I am even more delighted!"

Fang Xuedu cupped his fists and said, "That's why I've come to seek refuge, and I'm willing to serve as a pawn for the leader of the village."

Zhang Zhengdao laughed and said: "With Mr. Fang's talent, knowledge and demeanor, if he is only a small soldier in Liangshan, he will be a great talent."

"Come here, please add two chairs and sit with Mr. Fang and his brother Jinding." Zhang Zhengdao ordered loudly.

With the minions and two top leaders, Liangshan has added two more leaders.

After Fang Xuedu and Jin Ding thanked them, they sat down peacefully.

There were two people standing in the hall. One of them was a fair-skinned, slim, tall and handsome man. He raised his hands in greeting and said, "My younger brother, Zheng Tianshou, is from Suzhou. He originally ran a silversmith shop, but because of the establishment of a manufacturing bureau by the imperial court,

, they collected all the gold and silver materials on the market, and the business was unsustainable, so they closed the shop and made a living in the world."

Zheng Tianshou, who looks like Zhou Zheng and has an extraordinary conversation, said slowly: "I originally planned to go to Qingzhou to beg for food. When I passed by Jeju Prefecture, I heard that Liangshan was recruiting people, so I came to join him and asked the village leader to take him in."

The "white-faced gentleman" Zheng Tianshou and the "dwarf tiger" Wang Ying can fight fifty or sixty times, regardless of victory or defeat, and they have certain skills with guns and sticks.

Moreover, he is a craftsman with a background as a silversmith, and Liangshan lacks such talents.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Come here, give Chief Zheng a higher position."

Zheng Tianshou was overjoyed and quickly bowed to thank him, then sat next to Jin Ding.

The last scarred man in the Juyi Hall, with a strong figure and a rough look at first glance, saw Zhang Zhengdao looking at him and shouted loudly: "My name is Fu Xiang, and brother Du Qian asked me to come and throw myself into the mountain."<

/p>

Hearing that Du Qian recruited the heroes on Hedong Road, Zhang Zhengdao naturally gave him a higher position.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Zhengdao pondered for a moment and arranged: "Brother Zheng Tianshou, first follow leader Wang Lun to understand the situation of the village, and then select three hundred skilled craftsmen to set up a craftsman's workshop to purchase armor for our village.

Utensils."

Zheng Tianshou stood up and accepted the order.

"Mr. Fang, I will first be a deputy military advisor, follow Mr. Wen, and provide suggestions for our village." Zhang Zhengdao continued...

Fang Xuedu cupped his fists and said: "I will obey the order."

As for the other two, Zhang Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "Brothers Jin Ding and Fu Xiang will first serve as deputy commanders of the mountain attacking army, assisting brothers Ling Guang and Suo Xian."

Now the mountain-attacking army is fully staffed, with two thousand infantry. As Liangshan's first infantry army, it naturally spends a lot of time and money to increase its combat effectiveness.

Even in the dead of winter, Ling Guang and Suo Xian were training their army to attack the mountain day and night, making final preparations for going out to sea to capture Tamna Island.

Hearing that the village leader had added two new deputy commanders to the mountain attacking army, Ling Guang was overjoyed. He stood up and thanked him and said, "Thank you, village leader, with the addition of two new leaders, our mountain attacking army has become even more powerful."

Zhang Zhengdao said seriously: "It's already mid-January, and the Jeju government is eyeing our village. I'm afraid that after the spring begins, it will send a large army to encircle and suppress us. Although there are eight hundred miles of water in the way, we can't underestimate it."<

/p>

"Brothers, we must be on the alert, train day and night, defeat the imperial army and make our Liangshan famous!" Zhang Zhengdao shouted loudly.

Everyone in the Juyi Hall stood up and shouted: "Defeat the imperial army and make our Liangshan famous!"

After all the leaders had retreated, Zhang Zhengdao left only Wen Huanzhang, Wang Lun, and the new deputy military advisor Fang Xuedu to discuss matters in the Juyi Hall.

"Mr. Wen, you were vague in your letter. What big thing happened in the village?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Wen Huanzhang nodded and said: "A few days ago, a believer who claimed to be the Jiangnan Mingjiao came to the village and kept asking to see the village owner."

Zhang Zhengdao frowned, Jiangnan Mingjiao, could it be someone sent by Fang La?

"What's that person's name?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Wen Huanzhang replied: "This person did not give his name. He only said that he is the Dharma King under the throne of Mingzun. He has important matters to discuss with the village leader."

Mingjiao Dharma King?

Zhang Zhengdao was shocked. He remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Has that person ever talked about Mingjiao in detail?"

Wen Huanzhang shook his head and said: "I didn't go into details. When he saw that the village leader was not there, he left a message and asked me to tell it to the village master."

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Zhengdao put down his thoughts.

Wen Huanzhang continued: "The man said, 'If the owner of the village is free, he can go to Qingxi County, Muzhou, Jiangnan after the new year,' and then went down the mountain."

Zhang Zhengdao pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "Ten thousand plus a little, I will be honored at the end of winter. I crossed the Zhejiang River and showed up in Wuxing."

This is obviously a nursery rhyme. After listening to it, Wen Huanzhang and the other two people frowned and thought, not understanding the meaning.

"Master of the village, is this Mingjiao the Manichaean sect?" Wang Lun is familiar with history books and naturally knows some of the deeds.

Fang Xuedu had been listening just now, and now he answered: "I have heard that Manichaeism has many followers in Jiangnan and other places. Although the imperial court ordered the arrest of believers, it was still difficult to completely eradicate it."

"Ever since Chen Shuozhen raised an army in Muzhou to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and claimed to be Emperor Wenjia, there has been a rumor in the world that there is a 'Tianzi Foundation' in Muzhou, and there is a 'Wannian Tower' hidden in it. Those who are destined to get it will be blessed with royal aura.

Sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven."

Wang Lun looked solemn and said: "The Mingjiao Dharma King wants to invite the leader of the village to go to Muzhou Qingxi County. Is it related to these things?"...

Wen Huanzhang laughed and said: "It's nonsense and cannot be believed."

Zhang Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Yes, if there really is an 'Emperor's Foundation' and a 'Wannian Tower', then Muzhou would have been turned upside down by the imperial court."

"I guess it's because Shuibo Liangshan became so famous that Mingzun got the news and wanted to meet the leader of the village." Wen Huanzhang analyzed.

Fang Xuedu said: "If the village leader goes there, he may also come up with some magical tricks to deceive the people in the countryside, and it's also unknown whether he can convert the village master into a religion!"

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "I'm afraid it is possible. Although there are many Mingjiao followers, most of them are in the Jiangnan area. In Jingdong, Hebei and other places, it is rare to hear of any followers preaching."

"No matter what his purpose is, as long as the village leader doesn't go, what can his bullshit Mingzun do?" Fang Xuedu suddenly cursed.

Wen Huanzhang agreed: "Mr. Fang is right. The village owner does not need to worry too much. He will not go to Muzhou. Let's see what he can do!"

Zhang Zhengdao said with a solemn expression: "You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves remembering you. Since the Mingjiao has sent people to the door, there must be other options. For now, please be patient and wait."

The Fangla Uprising took place in the second year of Xuanhe, which was still seven years away. Even if it was instigated by butterfly wings, it was definitely impossible to start it in advance.

Unable to figure out the purpose of Fang La's sending people, Zhang Zhengdao put the matter aside and started discussing the affairs of the village with the three of them.
