Chapter 15: Dragons and Snakes in the Wilderness
"I" Chai Jin was anxious.
Lin Chong waved his hand and glanced at Liu Tang, "What are you talking nonsense!"
Liu Tang was stunned and immediately closed his mouth and looked down. Since Shan Ye's words, Lin Chong's three-point ruthlessness made him feel that Lin Chong must have great achievements in the future.
Especially afterwards, Lin Chong used practical actions to show his importance to him, which made him even more excited. Now Lu Zhishen is guarding outside, and he can indeed ride a carriage. This is what Lin Chong specifically instructed him. In name, he was to know some of the situations in various places with him. In fact, he knew it himself. When Lin Chong asked him to come in, he rarely asked him questions.
Therefore, Chai Jin may be disrespectful, but he does not dare not ignore Lin Chong's words.
Seeing that Liu Tang became honest, Lin Chong shook his head slightly and said nothing more. Emperor Taizong of Tang said that officials who start businesses do not need to consider their character, but use them as long as they are loyal and talented.
Although Lin Chong is surrounded by four future Liangshan heroes, Lu Zhishen, Chai Jin, Wu Song and Liu Tang, Lu Zhishen is his elder brother. Lin Chong has never regarded him as a man. Although Wu Song has extraordinary martial arts, he has too many pride and can only use it directly, and is on the battlefield, invincible and in battle formations. Chai Jin is an extraordinary family and is implicated in his current situation. If he forcibly accepts it, it will backfire. Therefore, there is only Liu Tang who can do things loyally.
"Lin Chong knows Brother Chai's character very well. He will never be a person who is afraid of trouble. Brother Chai tells you the reason," Lin Chong said softly.
"Thank you, coach." After a touch flashed across Chai Jin's face, he said seriously: "Teacher, Brother Liu, I am not breaking my promise, nor is I afraid of danger. The reason for this is that judging from the situation along the way, the court will never let the coach go easily. Even if it is soon enough, even if there is no problem, when you arrive at the ground of Cangzhou, the coach needs to hide forever. Once you are discovered, the situation will inevitably be serious. The ancients said that long-term maintenance will lead to failure. If so, why don't the coach claim that he is now famous all over the world, gathering the heroes on Liangshan to do a grand event. Even if there is no big cause, there is an eight hundred miles of water as a barrier. At least it is safer than hiding from all over the world. As for money, the coach does not have to worry at all. Chai Jin is willing to give half of his family wealth and help the coach."
"Haha" Hearing this, Lin Chong smiled loudly and looked at Liu Tang and said, "Look, Brother Chai's eyes are more long-term than you! Don't blame others in the future."
Liu Tang was immediately embarrassed and knew that he was too aggressive just now.
"Brother Chai, this guy Liu Tang is not very sensible. Don't mind. I'll take him to apologize to you," Lin Chong said with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare." When Chai Jin heard this, he was not happy, but a trace of loss flashed inexplicably. The more he understood Lin Chong, the more he knew Lin Chong would be extraordinary in the future. Looking at Liu Tang who was a little embarrassed, he suddenly sighed in his heart. Lin Chong seemed to have taught Liu Tang a lesson, but there was a sense of intimacy in his words, which was to completely treat Liu Tang as his own brother. He could have become the first good brother after Lin Chong was in trouble, but because of his background and family, it was probably impossible.
"Brother Chai said it very well. Lin Chong is already the most wanted criminal in the world. There is no shame in falling into the country. Moreover, the court is incompetent, so dragons and snakes are created. This is an eternal law. These 800 miles of water are indeed a good place to sway Liangshan. In addition to what Brother Chai said, you just said, it is also an extremely important strategic place," Lin Chong said loudly.
"Strategic Place" Liu Tang was puzzled.
"The court pursued me, Gao Qiu vowed to kill me. If you want to resist, you must accumulate me. In addition to the natural barrier, Liangshan is also a hub. He can occupy the land of Liangshan. Advance can lead to the two prefectures of Huayan, threaten Kaifeng, retreat can lead to the two prefectures of Jiyun, sweeping across Shandong, and then from the Yellow River, you can divide troops into two groups to attack Hebei, and occupy wealthy lands such as Huainan. Once the time comes, you can even occupy a large area in the southeast. Even if the court launches a large-scale conquest, I, Lin Chong, are not afraid at all." When Lin Chong arrived here, he did not mind showing any ambition. If he was loyal to the emperor and patriotism, it would seem hypocritical.
Hearing this, Liu Tang said excitedly: "The coach is indeed very talented and wise, Liu Tang is willing to follow him for the rest of his life."
"Okay," Lin Chong said with satisfaction.
"Teacher, since that's the case, then we will rush to Liangshan immediately. Chai Jin is willing to personally recommend the teacher to go up the mountain." Chai Jin was also a little excited. Although he could not help openly now, if Lin Chong really had a future, his contribution would be indispensable.
"No hurry, no hurry. I just praised it. If we want to achieve this step, Liangshan must not be less than 100,000 people, and we must occupy the name of righteousness in the world. There are even too many things to consider. Let's go ahead and talk about Yun County is close to Liangshan. We will first visit the King of Tota and see what the specific situation in Liangshan is like," Lin Chong announced.
"Yes!" Liu Tang and Chai Jin responded immediately.
Lin Chong looked at the map again and his face was a little heavy. Although the treacherous ministers in the Song Dynasty are in power and the government is corrupt, his foundation has not been lost. Even if there are 100,000 troops and captured some prefectures, he cannot gain a foothold, because the people still have a belonging to the Song Dynasty, especially the literati. The so-called military battles and civilized rulers are not supported by literati and wealthy families from all over the country, it is too difficult to truly achieve a career.
Of course, if you use the religious situation to confuse the people, you can break through this shackle. However, if you use religion to seize the foundation, your foundation is too weak, and if you make a mistake, you will perish. Since ancient times, there has never been a religion that has achieved success. The Yellow Turbans of the Three Kingdoms and the peace in later generations all started to be very disturbed, but they were quickly suppressed. Religion can only guide people to be good. If a country is established by religion, the country will not become a country.
Therefore, he would never choose the religion path. If he wants to succeed, he must wait until the sky falls and let all the people feel that the Song Dynasty is really not good, and it is possible that the Zhao family is not qualified to become the lord of the world.
Before this, I could only concentrate on accumulating, accumulating fame and expanding my strength, but.
Thinking of this, Lin Chong raised his brow and said, "By the way, Lin Chong once heard that there is a hero in Yunzhou who is known as Zhiduoxing. I don't know if it is."
"Teacher, what you are talking about is Professor Wu from Cheshi Village, Yuncheng County, Wu Yong," Chai Jin said immediately.
"No, Brother Chai knows it," Lin Chong said expectantly.
"Yes, coach, Brother Wu and Brother Chao are close to each other's villages, and they are very close friends. I have seen him several times. He is a very wise man. Unfortunately, corrupt officials are rampant and there are many outstanding families. Although Brother Wu is full of knowledge, he is really useless." Chai Jin nodded.
"The two villages are adjacent, and it seems that we must meet the King of Tota as soon as possible." Lin Chong said happily. All the military operations in Liangshan in his previous life were basically planned by Wu Yong. In addition to these, he made great contributions to improving Song Jiang's reputation. Many heroes were designed and won over by him.
Although Lin Chong has some ideas now, he cannot implement it in detail and urgently needs such talents to control it. As for whether he stole Song Jiang’s people, it’s all his business. In fact, Lin Chong is still a little impressed by Song Jiang, because Song Jiang really brought Liangshan to a storm that could stir the world. His revenge was actually not wrong. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, also accepted the revenge of the Yuan Dynasty.
If the court invites peace in the future, he will definitely recruit him, but there is a huge difference here. Zhu Yuanzhang recruits peace, but in order to determine his rule over the states, he actually disdained the court's orders and formed his own unity. As soon as the time comes, he should take action immediately.
When Song Jiang was recruited, he really devoted himself to fighting everywhere for the court, resulting in heavy casualties and injuries of the Liangshan heroes, and eventually he died tragically.
From this point of view, although Song Jiang has ambitions, his ambitions do not exceed the shackles of loyalty to the emperor and orthodoxy. Such a person is extremely dangerous, because sometimes you don’t know whether he is good or bad, and often he will bring a group of people into the ditch.
However, for such a person, Lin Chong's strategy is very simple, just one sentence.
