Chapter 1107: While robbing the birthday gift, encountering Ruyunlong
The first day of June, the fourth year of Zhenghe!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Chong had been in Liangshan for eight months.
This day.
Su Mingzhe convenes the monthly executive meeting.
As the commander of the three armies of Liangshan, Lin Chong stood up first and reported to everyone about Liangshan's recent situation of gathering refugees and accumulating military forces.
During these months, Liangshan followed the nine-word policy set by Su Mingzhe, secretly gathering refugees, storing up money and food, and training soldiers.
Today, Liangshan Marsh has 6,000 soldiers, including 1,000 cavalry, 4,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 1,000 naval forces.
At the same time, twelve branch villages were set up in the nearby mountainous areas, each with about three to five hundred people.
Liangshan Marsh currently has a total of over 10,000 soldiers.
Lin Chong briefly reported the situation and sat down.
Then, military advisor Qiao Lie reported on the logistics, financial and other situations.
At present, more than 30 granaries have been built in Liangshan Water Village, but only ten of them are full.
One warehouse holds three thousand shi, and one shi is about one hundred jin.
The grain in these ten warehouses, which is three million kilograms, is enough to feed the 10,000 people in Liangshan for about half a year.
Of course, the people of Liangshan can not only eat these grains, but also catch fish and shrimp from the 800-li water body.
If a war really breaks out, even if we are besieged by the imperial court, we can hold out for two or three years.
When everyone heard this, they felt full of confidence.
Then, Zhu Gui, the scout from the fourth camp who had participated in the transaction, stood up and reported.
Ever since Su Mingzhe arrived at Liangshan, Zhu Gui, as the scout leader, has been the busiest and most tired.
At the end of last year, in the merit book selection, Zhu Gui was promoted from scout leader to scout camp leader, and took the fourth place.
Zhu Gui reported on the construction status of the scout camp.
In the counties of Jizhou Prefecture and Dongping Prefecture, not only were there Liangshan undercover agents in the various military forces of the county government, but Zhu Gui also had people arranged in the homes of major landlords.
It can be said that if Su Mingzhe wanted to start a rebellion, Jezhou and Dongping Prefecture would be in his pocket and he could take them at will.
In addition, detailed maps of the four prefectures and five states in the east and west of Beijing were also in the hands of Liangshan.
Most of the routes to the one prefecture and seven states on the east road to Jingdong were also explored by Liangshan.
If Liangshan wanted to start an uprising, it could surely sweep across the east and west roads of Beijing within a month, and then capture the east and east roads of Beijing within three months.
You have to know that there were only sixteen routes in the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
Su Mingzhe is now confident that he can occupy two routes of land within three months, both of which are prosperous places. This will definitely cut off the roots of Zhao Song.
However, even with such strength.
Su Mingzhe was not prepared to start a rebellion so soon.
After all, Wang Qing, Tian Hu and Fang La were able to keep their composure and gather strength in secret.
Su Mingzhe's concentration is naturally not inferior to the other three.
After Zhu Gui finished his report, several other leaders raised some issues.
After Su Mingzhe and the three leaders solved these problems, they began to preach:
"Liang Zhongshu of Daming Prefecture, ever since he lost the birthday gift last year, he has not repented and has continued to extort money from the people. This year, he even got another 100,000 birthday gift to celebrate the birthday of the treacherous minister Cai Jing! I intend to go to Daming Prefecture and teach Liang Zhongshu a lesson. Chief Zhu, you should find out the detailed information about the direction of Daming Prefecture. Military advisor, coach, after I leave, I will entrust you to take good care of Liangshan!"
All the chiefs and leaders responded in unison.
That night.
The village owner’s backyard.
When the women learned that the man was going on a long journey again, they soon came to him and cuddled up to him.
Seeing the ladies looking hesitant, Su Mingzhe thought they were reluctant to let him leave, so he spoke to comfort them:
"This time, we will be back in Daming Prefecture in a month at most or half a month at least. You don't have to worry."
Everyone looked at each other, and then pushed out Xuanxuan, the most favored one. Xuanxuan's appearance was not the most outstanding among the girls, and her figure was not the most charming.
But on her pretty face, there are a pair of lively and lovely big eyes, which make her look intelligent and graceful.
At this moment, Xuanxuan's face was full of sorrow. She looked at the man and said softly:
"Your Majesty has great powers. Now he just needs to teach Liang Zhongshu a lesson. He will surely succeed immediately! The sisters are not worried about this!"
"It's just that every time the king goes out, when he comes back, there are always a few more sisters at home with him... This is always bad!"
"We sisters have discussed it and decided that if the king needs women to serve him, we should take this opportunity to find some extraordinary women from the martial arts world!"
Xuanxuan stumbled over what the girls meant, then lowered his head in embarrassment.
In fact, as the most favored woman, Xuanxuan really hopes that the man will find a few more women.
However, under the pressure of several other sisters, she had to say what she meant.
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe felt a little overwhelmed.
After traveling through so many ancient dimensions, I have become accustomed to the strong being respected and women obeying me unconditionally.
Now, these ten women got together and actually wanted to restrain themselves.
Could it be that in this dimension of "Water Margin", female consciousness has already begun to appear?
No wonder Zhu Xi promoted Neo-Confucianism and oppressed women in the Southern Song Dynasty.
A mess of thoughts flashed through my mind.
Facing Xuanxuan's question, Su Mingzhe thought about it seriously:
"The extraordinary woman Xuanxuan mentioned should be a woman who knows martial arts and can travel the world, right? I understand. If I have the chance, I will find a few such sisters for you..."
The women were stunned when they heard this.
By the way, is this what you all mean?
Su Mingzhe deliberately misinterpreted Xuanxuan's words, and then slept with them in the same quilt, scaring away several shy beauties.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe set off with his men.
It is only more than 300 miles from Liangshan to Damingfu.
Everyone rode at full speed and arrived at the destination on the third day.
Several guards saw that Daming Mansion was in sight, but Su Mingzhe ordered everyone to stop, and they were all a little puzzled.
Cai Si relied on his "favor" and asked:
"Master, the Daming Mansion is just ahead, why don't we go into the city and rest?"
Su Mingzhe held the whip and laughed:
"Our main purpose for coming to Daming Prefecture this time is to rob the 100,000 birthday gift. If the birthday gift is robbed near Daming Prefecture, then Liang Zhongshu will definitely conduct a massive search throughout Daming Prefecture!"
"If we enter Daming Prefecture and are noticed, we will definitely be tracked down and identified as bandits."
"It's not a big deal that we left behind images. We are just afraid that the government won't be able to catch us, but will instead arrest the common people who have come into contact with us and torture them into confessing. Wouldn't that be our fault?"
When everyone heard that Su Mingzhe was so considerate, they all praised him in unison:
"Master, be merciful!"
clap clap-
Not far away, a burst of applause suddenly broke out in the forest, surprising everyone. They drew their swords and looked around to find the source of the sound.
"Who is coming?"
Su Mingzhe didn't expect that he was not careful enough and someone was within a hundred steps of him.
The man in the forest did not take the opportunity to leave, but walked out slowly.
When everyone looked closely, they saw a Taoist priest wearing a black robe with white cloud patterns and with an odd appearance.
The Taoist came to the official road with a whisk in hand, bowed and said:
"Master Su, my surname is Gongsun, my given name is Sheng, my Taoist name is Yiqing, and my nickname is Ruyunlong! I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I am very happy to meet you today!"
"So it's Taoist Gongsun! That's really strange! I heard that Taoist had the intention of intercepting the birthday gift of Liang Zhongshu from Daming Prefecture last year, but was exposed by a bailiff in Yuncheng, and then fell into the underworld!"
Su Mingzhe looked at Gongsun Sheng, a slight smile appeared in the corner of his eyes:
"Now that the Taoist priest has appeared in Daming Prefecture again, could it be that he still has something in mind for this year's birthday gift?"
