Chapter 314 Wang Lin arrives in Beijing

Li Gang left the palace in depression. On his way back home, he heard a piece of news that made him feel a little solemn.

Song Jiang, the leader of the Liangshan bandits, led a group of people by boat to Xuanze Water Gate Pier.

Accepting the recruitment of Taiwei Zhongshi, he is preparing to enter the court tomorrow to present Jiangnan La and other 189 rebels to the court.

Offer prisoners to show merit.

Li Gang frowned.

The civil unrest in the south of the Yangtze River was decided by Wang Lin. Even if these Liangshan bandits achieved meritorious services, they were still under the overall command of Wang Lin. How could Song Jiang bypass Wang Lin and come directly to Tokyo to offer prisoners...

Is there already internal strife under Wang Lin?

Li Gang sighed.

Li Gang thought about it and felt that he had been acting too arrogantly recently, and that he had to go beyond the court and take matters into his own hands. It was necessary for him to give this person a beating.

So Li Gang went to Zhongfu.

However, the information he got was that Zhongshi went to Xuanze Water Gate to meet Liangshan Song Jiang and others who came to surrender and offer prisoners, so Li Gang had to leave in anger.

Xuanze Water Gate.

A fleet of ships docked quietly at the pier.

Song Jiang, wearing a black cloak and looking excited, stood staring at the end of the ten-mile street.

Behind him stood the nineteen Liangshan Mabu leaders who had come to Beijing to surrender with him this time, with different expressions on their faces.

They are: Zhi Duoxing Wu Yong.

Li Ying, the eagle flying in the sky, Zhu Tong, the beard-bearded male with stars in the sky, Lei Heng, the winged tiger, the two-headed snake, the two-tailed scorpion, Zhu Wu, the magical strategist, Sun Li, the sick lieutenant, Ma Xuanzan, the ugly commander, and Sun Xin, the little lieutenant.

, Sister-in-law Gu, the mother-in-law, Zhang Qing, the vegetable gardener, Erniang Sun, the yaksha, Wang Dingliu, the god of dangerous ways, Yu Baosi, the dangerous god, Cao Zheng, the swordsman ghost, Song Qing, the iron fan, Lehe, the iron caller, and Li Kui, the black whirlwind

There are two thousand soldiers.

At this time, two groups of cavalry were seen arriving with a roar, and the one who came in the lead under the Lielie Army was the current Taiwei who Song Jiang had met several times many years ago, one of the chief generals of the Zhong Family Army, and the famous Xiao Zhong.

Mr. Xianggong, among the teachers.

Master Zhong came to greet him personally, which undoubtedly gave Song Jiang a great deal of face.

Song Jiang was so happy that he immediately prostrated himself and fell to the ground. Behind him, Wu Yong and others followed him without hesitation.

"The sinner Song Jiang led 19 of his leaders and two thousand brothers to pay homage to the Prime Minister."

Zhong Shizhong laughed loudly, dismounted himself and helped Song Jiang up, and waved his hands and said: "Come on, leaders! Song Jiang, although you separatist Liangshan Water Village, you have committed crimes against the court, but now you have risked your life and went to the south of the Yangtze River to quell Fang La

During the civil turmoil, the leader of the thieves, Fang La, and others were captured and brought to the court as prisoners. They performed extraordinary feats for the Song Dynasty, which can be considered as a crime."

Behind Song Jiang, most of these people's faces turned slightly red.

This so-called contribution to quelling the chaos in Jiangnan was originally done by Song Jiang on the orders of Wang Lin.

Most of them have never been to the south of the Yangtze River to contribute. At this moment, they are just following Song Jiang to the court to seek a career and receive rewards.

"Tomorrow you will accompany me to the court to pay homage to the official's family. The court will definitely give you a reward."

Song Jiang said gratefully: "Thank you so much for your support. Song Jiang is so grateful that he burst into tears."

Master Zhong smiled slightly and looked around at the group of people after Song Jiang.

For Zhongshi, the main purpose of recruiting Song Jiang and his gang was to go to Wang Lin. He estimated that they would be arranged outside the capital and serve as a barrier for the capital's defense.

If Wang Lin rebels, Song Jiang's men will be cannon fodder.

But I don't think I did anything wrong.

Since Song Jiang took the initiative to seek recruitment, for the Song Dynasty court, it was just a few worthless official titles, without even paying military salary, in exchange for their devotion and sacrifice, so why not do it?

Zhou Yu hit the yellow cover, and everyone was willing to hit and others were willing to suffer.

…

Dongpingfu Pier.

Chao Gai, Chai Jin, Lu Zhishen, Liu Tang, Shi Xiu and other dozens of Liangshan leaders were ashamed and prostrated themselves on the dock.

Chao Gai cried and said: "My brother, I am really shameless as a brother. Please give me a death for my brother!"

Chao Gai was so embarrassed and angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

He never expected that Song Jiang returned from the south of the Yangtze River, and after going up the mountain, he suddenly connected with his original confidants, took two thousand men and horses, collected all the gold and silver treasures in Liangshan, and parted ways with Chao Gai.

He claimed that he was going to the capital to be recruited by the imperial court and to receive merit and rewards.

Chao Gai could not stop it, and Liangshan Dazhai was completely divided.

What makes Chao Gai even more heartbroken is that his long-time friend and sworn brother Wu Yong also left with Song Jiang.

For many years, the brothers were so unrighteous that they almost made Chao Gai vomit blood.

Wang Lin and Yan Qing jumped from the boat to the shore, leaned over to help Chao Gai up, and ordered Yan Qing to help the others up. He said in a calm voice: "Brother, why are you sad? Since ancient times, it has been raining and my mother is getting married.

People, let them be."

"If we have different ways, we don't want to work together. If we separate, that's fine."

Chao Gai sighed, covered his face and shook his head.

During the gathering in Liangshan, everyone swore a sworn sworn pledge, saying that they did not wish to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but they wished to die in the same year, the same month and the same day.

Live and die together, be generous with justice and spread wealth, and do justice for heaven.

But now, it didn't take long for these people to be bewitched by Song Jiang's two words and leave. If word spread, Liangshan will become the laughing stock of the world.

Liu Tang's face was trembling with red beard, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty, Song Jiang is greedy for wealth and wants to be recruited as an official. That's fine. Anyway, he has always had this kind of virtue.

But people like Sun Li and Sun Xin have never gone to Jiangnan to contribute half of their efforts, but they talk so loudly that they go to Tokyo to pretend to be rewarded. They are so thick-skinned that they are really shameful!"

"And Fang La and others were captured because of the prince's army. A certain group of people almost got a huge advantage in Qingxi County, Muzhou...

But they actually had the honor to betray the prince, pretend to be his, and escort Fang La to Beijing as a prisoner. This shows that Song Jiang is ambitious, disloyal and unjust, and should be punished!"

Lu Zhishen clasped his hands together and said "Amitabha".

Song Jiang's behavior really shocked Lu Zhishen.

He never expected that the world-famous Timely Rain Song Jiang could be such a thing.

Wang Lin walked over and patted Liu Tang on the shoulder, and said calmly: "Brother Liu Tang, there is no need to be angry. The reason why Song Jiang did this was not only to take credit, but also because he felt that I was going to fail and there was nothing he could get from me.

Even though it was cheap, I might be implicated, so I took refuge in others... Speaking of which, it's normal."

A hint of indifference flashed in Wang Lin's eyes.

Song Jiang's rebellion was the first important information Wang Lin received.

Another thing is that the imperial court has dismissed him from the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Fuhu Army.

Yao Pingzhong, a famous general of the Western Army, is the governor of the Fuhu Army. Most of this person is already on his way to Qingzhou to take up his post.

For Wang Lin, this meant that Zhao Ji in the court could no longer control the situation, and Zhao Huan and Zhong Shi, who were hiding behind the scenes, gradually came to the forefront.

This also means that Wang Lin, Zhao Huan and others have no room for compromise with each other.

Seizing Wang Lin's military power has touched Wang Lin's final bottom line.

"Brother Chao Gai, please go back to Liangshan to wait for orders. When I return from Beijing, if you are willing, you can all return to my Qingzhou and join the army to obey my orders!"

Wang Lin turned over and jumped onto the boat. He walked into the cabin with a cold face.

Yan Qing also jumped on the boat and ordered the boat to sail. Then he walked in silently and waited beside Wang Lin.

Wang Lin had been quietly staring at the light clouds and wind on the canal outside the window. After a long time, he turned his head and said softly: "Xiao B, Yue Fei is leading the Fuhu cavalry. They should be approaching Yuncheng at this time. Send an order to the lonely army and order Yue Fei to march quickly."

, and at the same time ordered Guan Sheng’s Shenwu Army to advance first, from Tokyo to Nanjing.

As for us, we will travel slowly. Spring has begun, so we can take a look at the scenery on both sides of the river."

Yan Qing hummed and said nothing more.

After a while, Wang Lin suddenly said softly: "Xiao Yi, it is extremely dangerous to go to the capital. For me, it is either failure or failure. I have something to ask you."

Yan Qing's heart tightened: "Your Majesty, all my subordinates will obey your orders!"

"Xiao Yi, we are brothers. If my hatred of death disappears, brother trouble, out of love for you and me, will work with Hua Rong to protect my family members and go to sea by boat. We can go to Fusang overseas to settle down!"

"I'm fully prepared for that."

Yan Qing felt sad, knowing that Wang Lin had prepared for the worst and began to think about what happened after his death.

Yan Qing suddenly fell to the ground and said with tears: "Don't worry, Your Majesty... If such a day comes, my subordinates will risk their lives to protect the princess and go to sea to settle down. After that, my subordinates will lead their troops back and enter the capital to avenge the Prince."

avenge!"

"Hey...actually, we may not be able to reach that point, but I always consider everything carefully and think of a way out."

Wang Lin sighed: "I originally wanted to go back to Qingzhou, but it's already March, and Yan'er and Zhenniang's due date is coming soon."

"My lord, please be at ease. With Hua Rong here in Qingzhou, I will definitely protect the princess and the others."
