How could Xie Zhen and Jie Bao have imagined that the tiger that his two brothers risked their lives to hunt fell into Mao Taigong's manor and disappeared in the blink of an eye? They deceived them into the house, and first forced them to drink wine in the name of entertaining them. After they were eighty percent drunk, they acted recklessly and refused to admit their debt. This caused these two honest men to make a drunken riot and smashed a lot of household items.
At this point, the man who had been lying in wait for a long time appeared at the right time. Indiscriminately, he escorted the two men back to the Yamen, tortured them severely, and made them act like "big scoundrels, each holding a steel fork, and thus robbed the property." ” and was thrown into prison.
When Xie Zhen and Jie Bao were imprisoned, Tie Jingzi reported the news happily, while his own uncle stood by and let the mother insect transform into a real insect.
In this large kinship family centered on the Sun brothers, the mother-in-law Sun Erniang is undoubtedly the core and important member. Among them, Sun Li and Sun Xin are brothers. Sun Li and Sun Xin's aunts are the mothers of Xie Zhen and Xie Bao. Sister-in-law Gu's mother is the aunt of Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, and Lehe is Sun Li's brother-in-law.
The direct cousins and in-laws make these families even more closely related, and they have an extraordinary relationship with each other.
For Xiao Yuchi Sunxin, the mother-in-law Mrs. Gu is a model of a savage girlfriend. Although Sister-in-law Gu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a fat face and a fat waist, she is not born with a needle and thread, she is bold, stubborn, and irritable, and she does things in an eclectic way, there is nothing she can do.
First, they are a couple that the older generation is married to. Secondly, although Sun Xin can use a gun and a whip and has learned martial arts, it is a pity that he has never defeated his wife once since he was a child. Although Sister-in-law Gu is a woman, her martial arts value is quite high. With these two items, he can't help but be not afraid of his wife.
Perhaps due to the long-term marriage and infertility, his wife has been waiting for Jie Zhen Jie Bao to be very close and affectionate. She just treats these two honest children as her biological brothers. After hearing the news, she immediately approached Dengyunshan. , requested to break through Dengzhou City and rescue Jie Zhen Jie Bao.
This puts Zou Yuan in a difficult situation, so don't help him. Firstly, people in the Jianghu are friendly, so it's not morally justified. Secondly, these two people are a long-term financial source for the village, and they can't be lost easily. But then again, Zou Run had analyzed the development path of Dengyun Mountain with them a long time ago, which was to never have a head-on conflict with the government unless forced, especially to attack prefectures and counties without open fire.
It was difficult to determine the right balance, so Zou Yuan had no choice but to send someone to report to Zou Run. He also complained that Zou Run had gone too far for too long and had forgotten about his own uncle and the thousands of people who had climbed the Yun Mountain. Centaur.
In the Liangshan Juyi Hall, a long and lengthy speech was finally finished. The man's mouth was already dry and his throat was smoking. Zou Run first asked someone to fetch ten taels of silver and rewarded him, and then asked someone to take him down to have good wine and good food. , have a good rest.
After settling this loyal man, Zou Run began to discuss with everyone in the hall, but before the formal discussion, Zou Run muttered to himself.
"Well, after all, Dengzhou and Liangshan are too far apart, so it's inconvenient to communicate with each other. It would be great if I could get the rumored skill of flying pigeons to deliver messages, and it would save me the trouble of traveling in both directions..." This is not because Zou Run is being pretentious. I had just come back from Tokyo. As soon as I landed, I didn't even take a bite of the hot meal, but something big happened again, and I really felt a little out of energy.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Lu Zhishen, who was sitting first on the right, happened to hear it truly, and his heart suddenly turned upside down.
Looking at the people in the hall, Zou Run cheered up. Because he was in a hurry when he went to Tokyo before, he had not discussed the development direction of the cottage with the leader of Liangshan in depth. Moreover, the general Lu Zhishen, the flower monk, had recently gone to the mountain and did not know much about the inside story of the cottage. They were familiar with each other, so Zou Run didn't directly talk about how to solve the Dengyun matter.
Instead, he first solemnly elaborated on his "two villages and one island" theory.
"Two villages" means that in the early stage, Dengyunshan Dazhai is the basic base, and the Tuoji Island salt industry is the pillar financial source. The navy and army are both responsible for it. Liangshan Dazhai is an inland branch of the village. Its main position is to expand the sales of sea salt, expand the financial resources of the village, recruit soldiers and horses, hoard grain and grass, and secretly strengthen its power.
"One island" means that after the navy can completely dominate the eastern sea area, it will start to conquer Tamna Kingdom (Jeju Island).
"...Although Tamna Kingdom is an island, it is the size of two counties and can accommodate one or two million people. Now the Korean nation has invaded the island, forcibly cut off the national unity of Tamna Kingdom, and poisoned the life on the island. Since ancient times, Dongtian Blessed Land Only the virtuous can live there. Korea is a foreign country, how can it be called virtuous? Its methods of fighting with open fire are no different from the enemy's invaders. I heard people say: The invaders can go, and I can go too. This is a sincere statement."
"We are all heroes of loyalty and strong men of the Han family. We have witnessed the corruption of the imperial court and the suffering of the people, and we are seeking peace for the world. Although we do not want to use weapons in our own land, we should point our swords overseas to build Taoyuan and blessed land to relieve the suffering of the people. Hanging upside down saved the people of the Song Dynasty from their misery. This is a good story that will go down in history, and it is also a lifelong achievement of a man. How can we not use this to encourage ourselves? Use this to strengthen ourselves? Use this to work hard?"
Zou Runzhuang was full of enthusiasm, and with a look of fatigue on his face, he stepped down from his seat, glanced at the people in the hall, and poured out his ambitions and bold words. Everyone here straightened their backs, sat in silence with their hands down, and listened respectfully. All passionate men yearned for such great undertakings and plans!
Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, who were sitting opposite each other, saw shock, surprise and excitement on each other's faces. Du Qian and Song Wan were stunned and shocked. Zhu Gui's yellow face was already red, and his mouth was so wide that he could stuff a fist without realizing it. Only Ruan Xiaoer, who had heard these words long ago, could still hold on. Calm, but also breathing heavily, unable to suppress passion.
The "Two Villages and One Island" theory gave this group of heroes of the Song Dynasty a beautiful blueprint that they had never imagined. It directly solved the fundamental problem that all those who fell into the trap of banditry were worried about, that is, the problem of a way out in the future. Compared with the so-called traditional way of recruiting people, this approach can be said to be the optimal solution that goes beyond the Three Realms and is not among the Five Elements.
Now that we understand the future development direction of Shanzhai, the importance of climbing Yunshan Mountain is naturally self-evident. When the sun was rising outside the Juyi Hall, everyone in the room spoke one after another. Lin Chong was the first to say:
"Dengyun Dazhai is the base for us. The private salt business is related to the village's financial plan. Since leader Zou Yuan has passed on this letter, the matter must be difficult. Although we are willing to share the worries and help, we are all too stupid and rude to handle the important matter. , the leader of the village has returned to Dengzhou in person, and should be punished with caution. It has been a long journey to Tokyo, and he has not yet rested, and he has to wait for another long journey during the New Year. This is the crime of our subordinates, and the leader of the village should be punished. .”
Lin Chong felt guilty. He had been deeply indebted to Zou Run and would not frown even if he died to repay the favor. However, such a big event was not something he would be punished by as a martial artist. He could only watch helplessly as Zou Run went on the journey again without even taking a moment to rest. , I had no choice but to stand up and confess my sins from the bottom of my heart.
Ruan Xiaoer also looked ashamed, "We are all useless. We only know how to wield swords and guns, and are of no help in important matters. It is so embarrassing for the village leader to work so hard."
Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhugui and others also stood up from their seats with shame on their faces and asked for punishment.
Only Hua Monk Lu Zhi sat in his seat and thought deeply for a long time before he stood up and spoke.
