Chapter 1004 The nickname is repeated, and the third general is nicknamed the big knife
"Little...little...little Ye Chun, originally from Sizhou on Huainan East Road, got the nickname of 'Skilled Shipwright' because he was good at shipbuilding. He only regretted that when he went to Shandong to make a living, he was...
The thieves who deserved to be killed had robbed money and were living in Jeju, unable to return to their hometown.
Later, I heard that the Mizhou Shipping Company was recruiting craftsmen who were good at shipbuilding, so I had to beg for some food along the way to satisfy my hunger. I endured thousands of hardships before arriving at Banqiao Town, and then I found out that Officer Xiao An was working for Mr. Xiao.
In charge of the affairs. Mr. Xiao is above, and I have been promoted to teach this little man to live in peace and contentment. Such a great kindness, I can only bow my head and do my best to repay it."
In a restaurant not far from the Banqiao Town Shipyard, the shipbuilder brought by Meng Kang said to Xiao Tang with a low eyebrow. Although Xiao Tang had motioned for everyone to sit down, the shipbuilder named Ye Chun still only
Sitting half-assed on the chair, he reported to Xiao Tang in a low voice. His obedient look was like that of a common citizen in Dou Sheng, who usually has no heart at all when he sees a dignitary whom he can only look up to and worship.
.
However, Xiao Tang found that Ye Chun was gritting his teeth when he said that he had been robbed of his business capital by the strong men in the green forest, and there was a flash of fierceness in his lowered eyes.
This Ye Chun is the one in the Water Margin who was robbed of money by the leader of Liangshan Bo and lived in Shandong. However, because he was good at shipbuilding, after hearing that Gao Qiu conquered Liangshan, he went to present the loach ship pattern and recommended himself to assist Gao Qiu in shipbuilding.
The shipbuilder who conquered Liangshan...
Xiao Tang secretly thought to himself that Ye Chun hated Liang Shanbo because his hard-earned money was robbed by the strong men of the Green Forest. He was just a shipbuilder in a law-abiding profession and had nothing to do with the Green Forest, so it is understandable that he hates Liang Shanbo.
.In addition, as a professional and technical person like him, in order to have enough food and clothing, he would naturally not care about the reputation of the powerful traitor Gao Qiu. However, according to the trajectory of the original work, Ye Qing still taught Li Yun, Tang Long, Du Xing and others to Liangshan.
The leader led his army to kill him. Although his ability to build ships was very good, he was just a fleeting little character in the Water Margin.
The drawings of large and small sea loach ships presented by Ye Chun to Gao Qiu are actually recorded in official history. They were used as important battle ships in the quarrying battles of Song and Jin Dynasties. They were equipped with warships such as Mengchong's warships and were equipped with thunderbolt artillery to attack the waters of Jin Dynasty.
It had a miraculous effect in the military, and the fourth emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Hailing Wang Wanyan Liang, was defeated and hanged by his subordinates due to the disastrous defeat in the war. Since then, he once again shattered the ambition of the Jin Dynasty to annex the entire Southern Song Dynasty.
From this point of view, it seems that the loach ships are somewhat different from those built at the turn of the Song Dynasty. They are inconvenient to navigate in shallow water, enter the sea, and may not be flexible and practical in large rivers. Perhaps Ye Chun, a skilled shipwright, also had some disadvantages.
Innovation and improvement, but Xiao Tang knew very well that the fatal weakness of this kind of warship was that it could not prevent heroes with proficient water skills such as Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi from diving into the water and digging through the bottom of the ship. At least the material selected for the bottom of the ship was not strong enough.
There are big problems...
If Ye Chun really had the ability to improve the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty that most vehicles and ships could only travel on inland rivers and lakes (and of course the fatal shortcoming of the boat's suspected thin bottom...), Xiao Tang thought that talents like Ye Chun would be even more powerful.
He can't be taught to be used by powerful traitors like Gao Qiu. Although Ye Chun seems to be extremely hostile to the people in the green forest, he only thinks that he has a big backer to defect to. At least for now, it seems that Ye Chun is willing to work conscientiously in officialdom.
He will do his best to serve Xiao Tang and will not show any neglect.
As for how to get along with Ye Chun, a shipbuilding craftsman, Xiao Tang also thought to himself: Since I don't intend to force others to do anything, I can only hide the things I do in the green forest from him for the time being.
Compared to Ye Qing, who is less assertive, the other man hired by Xiao An in the restaurant is more rude, but his purple face has strange copper bell eyes, and his mustache under his chin is eight feet tall. The long and short body is like a strange ape with an iron back and arms, and the piece of black flesh exposed under the half-undressed skirt is also stained with rust. One glance shows that he is not a good person, and he is also very brave and fierce when he is on the road. Evil man.
Xiao Tang had just spoken to comfort Ye Chun, but when the big man saw Ye Chun being respectful in front of Xiao Tang, he also disliked his cowardly appearance, so he opened his mouth and sarcastically said: "It's strange, Xiao Renxia is no longer the best Yes, but you didn’t end up with three heads and six arms. Look at how cowardly you are, don’t pee your crotch in fear!”
When Ye Chun heard this, his eyes were filled with anger, but he immediately lowered his head, as if he did not dare to argue with this rude man. The man sneered disdainfully, and then he raised his hands to Xiao Tang and said, "My surname is Xu Mingwen was originally from Xiantao, Hubei Province. Later, his family moved to Jingdong Road, Laizhou and Jimo City. Originally, he specialized in selling private salt goods, and often traveled to Weizhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou, Mizhou and other military states near the sea in Shandong Province. I can move around, but I can also sail a good boat. And because I have some strength in my arms, I am used to wielding a sword weighing fifty kilograms. The heroes on the road lifted me up, so they called me Xu Dadao!
It’s just that the business of selling smuggled salt is becoming increasingly difficult. Laizhou Jimo is close to the border with Banqiao Town, Mizhou. The city’s shipping department is prosperous with merchant ships, which just teaches me to find another livelihood. I seldom convince others when walking in the rivers and lakes. , but I have also heard for a long time about the name of Ren Xia Xiao Tang in Daming Prefecture in Hubaoyi, Hebei Province. Xiao Renxia is also a man wearing a big turban. Since I am willing to work hard for him, I guess Ren Xia will not treat me badly!"
Sure enough, as I expected, it was Xu Wenxu, the general of the Jin Dynasty navy in the official history...
Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, and then recalled Xu Wen's record in the official history: Xu Wen, courtesy name Yanwu, was from Xiantao, Hubei Province, and moved to Jiaoshui (also known as Pingdu, belonging to Jimo in ancient times). When he was young, he sold salt. He traveled to and from several states near the sea. He was brave and brave, and all his peers were afraid of him. During the Song Dynasty, he started to steal and recruited soldiers. He became the ten generals on the left of Banqiao, Mizhou. He was extremely brave and could wield a huge sword weighing fifty kilograms. Unprecedented, people called him "Xu Dadao"...
Previously, when Xiao Tang was talking about some anecdotes with Sun Li, Zou Run, Zou Yuan and other local officials and brothers from the Dengzhou area near the sea on Jingdong Road, and brothers from Green Forest Strongmen, they had also heard from their mouths that Sun Wen had done something before. The smuggling of salt activities mainly takes place in the green forests along the coast of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Most of those who dare to engage in smuggling of salt nowadays are ruthless people who dare to tuck their heads in their belts and risk their lives, and Xu Wen’s reputation is enough to The peers who sell smuggled salt are afraid of them. Even the smuggled salt business can be regarded as one of the livelihoods in the green forest. As long as the methods are not too cruel, Xiao Tang is not willing to kill all those salt lords, but this Xu Wen unscrupulously He kept talking about the illegal activities he had done in the past, and he seemed to be a reckless person who didn't take official laws into consideration.
It seems that in this season, nicknames such as Da Dao are simple and easy to understand. Xiao Tang has also met Wen Da, Guan Sheng and Xu Wen, three people nicknamed Da Dao. Later generations also said that Xu Wen was suspected to be Water Margin. It is said that the prototype of Wen Da, the title of Dadao did affect Guan Sheng's nickname, but even if Guan Sheng and Wen Da were added together, their military exploits were not as good as Xu Wen's, but Xu Dadao later became He simply rebelled against the imperial court and served the Jin Kingdom.
However, this Xu Wen was framed by others before he became angry and surrendered to the enemy. He had been promoted many times for his bravery in battles, and moved to Huaidong, western Zhejiang and other coastal areas to control the navy. However, he was hated by the generals in the army. According to official history,
After the Song generals such as Li Cheng, who is still serving as the military supervisor in Daming Mansion, and Kong Yanzhou, who had been killed by Xiao Tang during the Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom, defected to the puppet Qi regime supported by the Jin Kingdom, Xu Wen was
He harbored a grudge and was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Other colleagues went to attack and capture Xu Wen without asking for details. They were determined to frame him as a traitor and traitor to the country. However, Xu Wen was not willing to sit back and die just to show his loyalty to the court.
, you falsely accuse me of rebelling, but I will show you that I am really rebelling. He then led dozens of warships across the sea to defect to the Puppet Qi. Later, because of his military exploits, he served as the navy commander, naval commander of the two states of Mi and Canghai, and the general manager of the sea channel.
, the commander of the military and horse capital of Zhongdu, held important positions such as the capital's water supervisor and the construction of warships, and became one of the most important naval generals of the Jin Kingdom...
Therefore, although Xu Wen was also a fierce general who left his name in the history of the Jin Dynasty, his situation was very different from those generals such as Guo Yaoshi and Kong Yanzhou who had unsatisfied desires and betrayed their country for glory. He was pushed to the enemy camp by the Song Dynasty.
Xiao Tang thought about Xu Wen's life story in the official history, and said in his heart that he didn't value honor and integrity very much, and he didn't intend to serve the Zhao Dynasty wholeheartedly to the end...
Therefore, compared to Ye Chun, Xiao Tang's attitude towards Xu Wen was exactly the opposite and more extreme. He thought that Xu Da Dao was reckless and reckless. Although he did not reject the Green Forest Road, he really drove him to the point where he lost his temper.
It doesn't matter if he becomes an enemy of his motherland... For such a character, it will be observed that in the future, either he will be included in the gang, or he will be eliminated secretly. No matter what decision is made at that time, it is possible to eliminate another person.
