Chapter 122 Dead Daoist Friends, Immortal Poor Daoist
Life and death are only in one thought. Wu Yong, who is resourceful, immediately understood what it means. It is obvious that this is a death order. Accepting means being rich and wealth, a wife and a son, and refusing means losing his life. Well, a fellow Taoist will die, and I will not die. After making up his mind, he knelt on the ground and said, "Please don't worry, lord, I will complete the task."
"Very good, get up!" Jiang Zhong was very satisfied with Wu Yong's attitude. He said lightly: "There are not many heroes in Liangshan now. They either join the Shenwei Army or retire to the world. There will not be too many who can truly rebel with Song Jiang again, and there are only a dozen confidants. When Song Jiang's uprising, only Wang Qing can make waves. The Shenwei Army will go to suppress it. At that time, the 20,000 elite soldiers left by Fang La and the 3,000 elite soldiers you originally stayed in Hangzhou can be legitimately incorporated into the Shenwei Army. As for Song Jiang's head, Lin Chong will pick it off at the right time, so you don't have to worry. Sun Li, Sun Xin, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Shun will follow you south. By the way, Hua Rong is my brother-in-law. He has always followed Song Jiang and will help you at critical moments. You just need to say before using him that Hua Xiangrong is pregnant."
"As for the order." Wu Yong stood up and said goodbye. On the way, the guy was still thinking. It was obvious that Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Shun had secretly defected to the lord. It seemed that Song Jiang had a really failed life, and Xiang's head would not be preserved for long.
After years of war, so many brothers were killed and injured, they were only exchanged for a Wude doctor and a Chuzhou pacifier. This made Song Jiang feel extremely disappointed. He thought that he would be highly valued for serving the court, but in the end he found that it was just a chamber pot of the official family. It was useful when he pacified Fang La. Now that Fang La is pacified, this chamber pot is useless.
On the way to take office, Song Jiang comforted himself. Even if he was a local official, he could benefit the people and make decisions for the people. However, after coming to Chuzhou, he realized that it was not that bad at all. In the Song Dynasty, the appeasement envoys in many places were considered princes, covering the sky with one hand in the local area, and the power was as great as a mountain. However, in Chuzhou, he became a living being under the roof. Xu Chucheng, the governor of Chuzhou, was actually from the fourth rank. Not only that, this sinister guy was Wang Fu's confidant. In Chuzhou, he could be said to cover the sky with one hand in Chuzhou and had no power in Chuzhou. He did not take the new appeasement envoy seriously at all.
According to regulations, when the pacifier took office, the local officials should send people to greet him. However, Song Jiang and others entered Chuzhou and not only did no one come to greet him, but even the minor officials were troubled by him at the city gate. Hua Rong was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. In the end, Song Jiang's younger brother Tie Fan Song Qing paid out of his own pocket and spent five taels of silver to settle the matter.
There are too many unpleasant things. Song Jiang, the Chuzhou appeaser, was almost empty under the exploitation of Xu Chucheng, the magistrate of Chuzhou, and had no real power at all. Even on his own acre of three parts, the officials below were still slanderous and did not take this appeaser seriously.
What made Song Jiang the most unhappy was that his official office and his house seemed to be under surveillance. Hua Rong and others were very annoyed about this matter and wanted to destroy these guys. But Song Jiang knew that the so-called surveillance was definitely not the magistrate Xu Chucheng's own decision, but the court must be worried about him. In this case, he could only be a human being with his tail between his legs.
After all, Song Jiang and others are bandits and cannot live such depressing lives, but Song Qing is different. This playboy still enjoys the current life of luxury and food. No matter what, the rewards from the government are still very generous. In addition, Liangshan has a strong foundation, so there is no problem to live a good life.
Looking for flowers and asking for the willows has become the most important part of Song Qing's life, but this lustful guy still got into trouble and actually competed with Xu Chucheng's brother-in-law Li Minkui, and the two sides fought hard.
Li Minkui was beaten to death and Song Qing was thrown into death jail. No matter how Song Jiang fought for it, Xu Chucheng refused to let anyone go. This made the old lady Song, who felt sorry for her youngest son, ill. It was in this state that Wu Yong found Song Jiang. The two brothers met and drank while talking about their recent situation.
Family scandals should not be made public. Originally, Song Jiang would not mention the embarrassing thing about Song Qing being arrested and sending the old lady to get sick due to anger. However, in order to rescue his younger brother, Song Jiang could only explain to Wu Yong, hoping that Zhiduoxing could give advice for him.
Song Jiang had three glasses of wine, and his eyes were filled with tears. He put down the wine glass and said, "My brother, now I am in trouble. I hope you can give me some advice."
Song Jiang told him everything about his situation in Chuzhou, and finally told him about his younger brother.
Hearing this, Wu Yong couldn't help but feel happy secretly. He wanted to sleep and someone handed the pillow. It was so comfortable. He pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "Brother, the Song Dynasty was the literati and officials, and the civil servants were in power. You, the Chuzhou appeasement envoy, could not control Xu Chucheng, the governor. You should know that if he did not let anyone go, you would have no way."
"Yes, that's why I want to ask my brother to give me some advice." Song Jiang, who was so worried about being tortured, could only hope for Wu Yong, Zhiduoxing. He sighed and said, "You know. I don't like women. I still have no children. If my younger brother Song Qing has a few good and two bad things, the Song family will be the last one."
"It's not difficult to save people. I have two ways for my elder brother to choose from."
"Please speak with me, brother."
Wu Yong pretended to be mysterious and said: "The first path is very simple, to go to the officialdom and use open conspiracy. Although the backstage of the governor Xu Chucheng was Wang Fu, this powerful minister could not cover the sky with one hand. The eldest brother used his resignation to exchange for the support of the power in the court, and there was absolutely no problem with Song Qing's life."
The official hat he earned with hard work was gone, and Song Jiang was unwilling to accept it. If that were the case, how could his ambition be realized, wouldn’t the brothers die in vain?
Wu Yong had long expected that Song Jiang was reluctant to give up, so he continued: "The second way is simpler, that is, robbing prison. Although the brothers have dispersed, it is still easy to robbing prison and rescue Song Qing as long as the elder brother gives the order."
The robbery indicates that there is no way out and may be desperate in the future. This is obviously not the result that Song Jiang wants. He shook his head, meaning that he did not agree with this method.
"There is another way, that is, play a big ticket. Brother, you cheer up and let us brothers rise up again. After the team grows, we will accept the court's envoy. At that time, the conditions for the government are not favorable, so we will not accept it. Brother will not have to be as frustrated as we are now."
It is not easy to rebel again. Song Jiang said in a disgusting manner: "Brother, this road is not advisable. The brothers have been scattered long ago, and we don't have many troops under our command. And we are all under the surveillance of the government army. It is not easy to rise up. I am afraid that there will be signs of annihilation."
Wu Yong had long expected that Song Jiang would not have confidence, so he said, "Brother, although the Liangshan Army was disbanded, there were still 5,000 elite soldiers in Erlong Mountain and 5,000 naval troops in Jiangnan. As long as we contacted the original brothers privately, these elite soldiers could still be pulled out. In addition, before the recruitment, I was afraid of any changes, so I could ambush three thousand elite soldiers near Hangzhou. As long as we went south and contacted Wang Qing, I believe that the two families would be a headache for the government."
"Joining with Wang Qing?" Song Jiang knew that this was indeed a good choice, but he was still a little worried. He said discouragedly: "Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and others have already served the government, how can they obey my orders?"
"I don't ask for birth on the same day of the same year, but I ask for death on the same day of the same month of the same year. This is the original vow of my brother. As long as my elder brother raises his arms, I am willing to contact my brothers. Before, I had a relationship with Lin Chong, Sun Li and Sun Xin. They thought that my elder brother worked hard, especially Lin Chong's biggest enemy is Gao Qiu, who is opposed to recruitment."
"You are responsible for contacting brothers. Let's get together again. At the same time, we will ask Cai Qing to contact Wang Qing to see if there is any possibility of cooperation or joining forces."
In this way, after Lin Chong, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Suo Chao, Ruan's three Xiong and others were in place, Song Jiang made up his mind to rebel again and let the officials see their abilities.
Cai Qing brought back Wang Qing's willingness to cooperate. In this case, Song Jiang and others rebelled again and conquered the government office. If Xu Chucheng hadn't run fast, this guy would have moved.
Because the Southeast King Zhu Xie was too heavily exploited in Jiangnan, the prosperous Jiangnan was tormented by the people because of the "Huashigang" and the imperial court did not have strong control over Jiangnan. Song Jiang and others rebelled for a second time. With Wang Qing's response, they quickly captured seven or eight prefectures and counties, and their troops expanded to 100,000. Of course, most of them were still mobs.
The one who really has combat effectiveness is still the 10,000 Shenwei Army, but Song Jiang would not know about these, and he foolishly thought that Lin Chong still brought the Liangshan Army. He didn't think that the Liangshan Army had such strong combat effectiveness. As for the remaining army, except for Fang La's old subordinates, there was no battle in the three thousand elite soldiers lurking in Hangzhou, just a count.
When Song Jiang's uprising was rebelled, Wang Qing responded and immediately turned upside down in Jiangnan. The local officials' residences flew into the capital, which was destined to be a big storm.
Song Jiang revolted again and joined forces with Wang Qing, which shocked the government and the people, but everyone did not dare to report to the government immediately, for fear of affecting Emperor Daojun who wanted to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. The Grand Marshal Gao Qiu fell into a passive position. He had the idea of shooting himself in the foot, and he was immediately wondering if he was wrong to have a quarrel with Jiang Zhong. But since he was wrong, then he would go on and get rid of this hateful guy quickly.
Gao Qiu made up his mind to eliminate Jiang Zhong, so he set up a killing game with Wang Fu, and all this needs to be handed over to the Imperial City Division. But these two guys didn't know that Xue Yongnian, the cunning guy, joined forces with the Shenxiao Sect, Tianyi Sect, the Dragon Subduing Society and the Six Gates.
After Lin Lingsu knew that the Imperial City Department had set up a killing game, he immediately told Jiang Zhong through his female disciple Shuiyue, hoping that this guy would prepare in advance and not be plotted by the enemy.
