Water Margin official

Xiao Jiasui said: "It is easy to recruit a strong man, but it is rare to be an elite who has fought a hundred battles."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "What you said is true. We in Liangshan only fought one battle with three thousand soldiers from Jeju, and we opportunistically forced the landing of these three thousand people. We have never experienced fighting in battle, so it is not considered a battle." What an elite."

"Right now, although there are more than 30 leaders and more than 20,000 soldiers in our village, they are all new recruits who have never experienced cruel fighting. Sir, is there any way to turn these new recruits into powerful soldiers?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Xiao Jiasui thought for a moment and said: "If the leader of the village wants to train his troops, Xiao has a way."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Sir, please tell me, as long as it does not attract the attention of the court, any method will do."

Xiao Jiasui said: "It is better to occupy several cities in Goryeo and take turns to fight against the Goryeo army. Only by going through the battlefield can one become a veteran of hundreds of battles."

Zhang Zhengdao hesitated and said: "I am determined to capture Goryeo in one battle, but I don't want to expose my intention too early."

Xiao Jiasui saw this, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since the village leader wants to plot secretly, but does not want to expose his strength too early, the plan for now is to expand the strength of the village as soon as possible and train diligently day and night."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Previously, the leaders of the mountain village discussed that we should first integrate the green forest roads in Jingdong and other places to strengthen our mountain village and strengthen our troops."

"In the past two days, we have recruited Jishan and Mulanshan on the border of Jinghu. We have eight leaders and five thousand soldiers!" Zhang Zhengdao recounted the recruitment of Yuan Lang and Du Bo to Xiao Jiasui again.

"I didn't expect that the leader of the village could take the three heroes of Mulan Mountain and the five tigers of Jishan under his command." Xiao Jiasui was greatly surprised.

Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "Brother Du Bo has more than 5,000 people under his command. Money and food are scarce and it is difficult to survive. When he heard that we occupied a huge island in Liangshan, it could be a foundation, so he did not hesitate to join the big village."

Xiao Jiasui said: "The leader of the village really has the foresight. With this giant island, Liangshan will have a foundation and will no longer be trapped in a low-lying land."

"Yes, Jeju Island is vast and can farm and raise horses, so Liangshan will have the resources to start a business." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile: "What's more important is that when the brothers heard about this, they became very angry and started gearing up. , looking forward to conquering Korea as soon as possible."

Xiao Jiasui nodded and said: "The village leader gave the village leaders a hope."

Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, everyone wants to live a clean life and walk uprightly between heaven and earth. They don't want their descendants to bear the reputation of being a bandit."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhengdao suddenly understood Song Jiang's style, but by selling out a group of brothers in the village, he was willing to sacrifice his life for the court and work for the powerful traitors. Although he finally earned an official position, it was at the hands of his brothers. In exchange for his life, the means are despicable.

Zhang Zhengdao is now in charge of Liangshan, and he must lead these good men to create a new world and live up to the trust of these brothers.

Xiao Jiasui suddenly asked: "Has the village owner ever thought about accepting the imperial edict?"

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the country's fortunes have generally been prosperous, but rebellions have occurred from time to time in various places. Most of the imperial courts have promised to appoint officials because of Zhao'an, otherwise there would not be a rumor in the green forest that "if you want to be an official, you kill people and set fires."

The words "I accept the imperial edict".

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said categorically: "The imperial court is unjust. If I take my brothers from the village to accept the imperial edict, I am afraid that I will be sent to participate in quelling civil unrest in various places and conquering Xixia and Daliao. Even if I am lucky enough to survive, I will be canonized as a little sesame."

Officials will eventually be framed by treacherous ministers, and their death will not be worth it.”

"The road I want to take in Liangshan is to become king in a foreign land, and I will do it slowly!" Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

When Xiao Jiasui saw this, he solemnly said: "If the leader of the village had not been ordered by the imperial court, Xiao would definitely help him."

This man has long given up on the court. Since Zhao Ji came to the throne, the political situation of the Song Dynasty has been deteriorating. There have been natural disasters above and man-made disasters below. The court has changed orders from day to day, competed with the people for profits, and did not know how to rest and recuperate. Many people have lost their homes and been displaced.

There is also a group of traitors surrounding Zhao Ji, who deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, enjoy themselves and make loyal ministers suffer, and it is difficult to be a good man.

Such a court should not be worthy of filial piety and loyalty.

Zhang Zhengdao was overjoyed and said: "With your help, sir, we can expect great things in Liangshan."

There were Wen Huanzhang and Fang Xuedu before him, and Xiao Jiasui, who was both talented in literature and martial arts, finally had three advisers who could serve as his right-hand man.

The two chatted for a while, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and the more they talked, the more they liked each other. In the end, they talked by candlelight at night, planning everything for the cottage.

Time flies by, and before you know it, the golden rooster has croaked, and the sky is about to become brighter.

Zhang Zhengdao stretched himself, but still didn't feel much sleepy, and said: "You can only know how talented Mr. Wang is after chatting all night long!"

Xiao Jiasui stood up and said: "The leader of the village has great ambitions. Xiao has just joined the gang, how dare he not try his best?"

Zhang Zhengdao stood up and said, "Let me make an agreement with my husband. Once the eye disease of brother Sui Sheng and his mother is cured, we will take the trouble to take Nao Nao to Jishan. We will lead the five thousand soldiers and horses back to Liangshan safely."

”

Xiao Jiasui stood up and said: "Don't worry, owner of the village, there are many prefectures passing through along the way, so the officers and soldiers will not find any flaws."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded, and the two of them had just agreed that after the old man's eye disease was cured, Xiao Jiasui would take him to Mount Ji, and then merge with Du Bo's troops in Mulan Mountain and rush to Liangshan together.<

Zhang Zhengdao, on the other hand, took Shan Shiqi and Wei Sheng to Qingxi County, Muzhou, Jiangnan, to meet Fang La, the leader of the Ming Sect.

The two agreed on a time again, and Zhang Zhengdao rode his horse back to the inn. He lay down on the bed and took a nap before being woken up by Su Sheng's rough voice.

Zhang Zhengdao got up, washed briefly, had breakfast, and then took Sui Sheng, his son and his mother to the Double Gourd Eye Medicine Shop again.

Doctor Li happened to be sitting in the shop. Zhang Zhengdao sent some money and asked Sui Sheng's mother to be the first to diagnose and treat the patient.

Dr. Li's medical skills are indeed superb. After looking, hearing and asking, he knew the cause of the disease. He slowly said: "Put the hot soup in a full vessel, especially bronze. Use your hands to press your eyes. Close your eyes tightly and do not open them. Do not rub your eyes with your hands."

, but drink the soup to make it fertile, and the soup will be cold. If you have an illness, you can do it three or four times a day. If you don’t have an illness, do it twice a day. The fermentation will make your eyes bright. This is the best way to treat red eyes and itchy eyelids."

The general meaning is that you prepare a copper basin, fill it with hot water, use your hands to sprinkle the hot water around your closed eyes, wait until it cools down, and wash it several times a day as appropriate to achieve the effect of brightening your eyes.

Doctor Li also prescribed four or five medicinal herbs, which can be put into eyewash to speed up recovery.

Sui Sheng half-believed and half-questioned: "Doctor, can this method work?"

Dr. Li frowned and said: "If you don't believe in my medical skills, please find someone else to treat you."

Zhang Zhengdao took the prescription, looked at it briefly, and said with a smile: "Doctor Li specializes in treating various eye diseases. He must have superb medical skills. Don't doubt it, brother."

Madam Suisheng also said: "My son, don't be impatient. Just try the doctor's method."

Su Sheng said: "Just follow this method and try it first. If it doesn't work, then demolish his medical clinic."

Dr. Li is well-informed and does not care about such fools. He just waves them away so that he can receive the next patient.

The three of them left the clinic, grabbed medicinal materials from the store, and then returned to the inn.
