Chapter 1285 Although things are in sight, don't cut yourself off
Let us also say that the edict of elixir was read out in the Juyi Hall of Bo Juyi in Liangshan and the banquet was completed, which meant that Song Jiang and his group had agreed to accept the court's recruitment. At least they were prevaricated. Two bandit leaders in the village left in anger and stayed in the village for three consecutive days.
There was also a big banquet to be held in the middle, and the imperial envoys and entourage were served in turn. During the meal, Song Jiang naturally said that the noble man was so kind, and he would remember it deeply and dare not forget it.
At the same time, the gold, pearls, property, and Duan Zhi's jewelry in the village were all accepted with a smile by the men who were transferred from Bianjing and Jeju Prefecture and were already drunk. Many leaders in Liangshan, some even ordinary ones,
When Luo saw this, he not only swallowed his anger, but also thought to himself: Back then, I just didn't want to be angry with the officials, so I got angry and became a gangster. I also taught these corrupt officials to be scared to death when they saw us, but now it seems
...But how is it any different from the time when I just allowed myself to be bullied by this bully?
Until the day when Chen Zongshan, Zhang Qianban, Li Yuhou and others were about to return to the Jeju government office to resume their duties, Song Jiang called on the leaders of the village to hang colorful flowers, play sheng, flutes and drums, play gold drums and fine music all the way, and send the imperial envoys down the mountain to cross the river.
Golden Beach was respectfully sent thirty miles away. Among them, Chen Zongshan saw that the recruitment was completed, and his heart was relieved. Zhang Qianban and Li Yuhou had always been domineering, and he actually had a good word.
He appeased Song Jiang and said: "Chief, please go to the Jeju government office immediately to visit Zhongshu and Magistrate Zhang. It is better to prepare for the capital as soon as possible after an agreement. If the army and horses come to the capital, they must first send someone to the government to inform the emperor.
People should come to welcome you with integrity, otherwise something might go wrong."
Song Jiang expressed his gratitude again and again, and the next day he went straight to Jeju with Wu Yong, Liu Min, Dai Zong, and Xiao Rang, accompanied by hundreds of people. They took the notice to the palace post in the city, and then they saw the real person.
Hou Meng, who was to be transferred to Dongping Prefecture as the prefect, and Zhang Shuye, who had been transferred from Haizhou to Jeju not long ago.
"Although the righteous man accidentally committed a serious crime and lurked in the water, he gathered many wild bandits in the mountains and forests, and many of them were resourceful and brave men. The people in Guizhai wanted to serve the country with loyalty and justice and be famous for future generations. Fortunately, he taught the people to share their worries and eliminate the troubles for the army and the people.
, nor teach the country to lose troops and generals, wasting money and food, but after the righteous soldiers return and surrender, they will also make contributions to the court."
Song Jiang heard the Jeju magistrate Zhang Shuye comforting him with good words, and suddenly realized that although this state official, who was about fifty or sixty years old, had a kind expression and polite words, he vaguely sensed that he had a certain magnanimity, and Zhang Shuye had nothing to do with it.
The two courtiers Hou Meng and Hou Meng, who had been admonishing the court to recruit Liangshan's group, treated him with courtesy and courtesy, which also made Song Jiang feel at ease.
And Song Jiang followed the usual favor. After thanking him for his kindness, he took a large sum of money as a gift and wanted to give it to Hou Meng and Zhang Shuye. Hou Meng was definitely not willing to accept it, but Song Jiang offered it repeatedly and insisted on flattery before he was willing to accept it.
However, when he turned back to be alone, Zhang Shuye still insisted on refusing to accept favors and property. Song Jiang had learned through Hou Meng, Chen Zongshan and others that Zhang Shuye was also an important person who reported to the court whether his Liangshan side was sincere in accepting the recruitment.
Then he implored again and again: "Zhifu Zhang is a nobleman of Liangshan. I only have these small things, so I should express my feelings. If the matter is over, I will repay you with my appearance."
"I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the righteous people. Even if I stay in Dazhai, I come to ask for it. It is not too late."
Zhang Shuye shook his head and said, first steadying Song Jiang, and then looking at him, his originally gentle and elegant face showed a somewhat meaningful look, and said: "I know that the righteous man hopes that the court will be lenient.
Recruitment is handled as usual, but loyalty to the country does not depend on the size of the gift. I hope that the martyrs will be determined to repay the officials' great kindness after being recruited, and I will work hard to help the martyrs and the heroes of Guizhai accomplish this...
It’s not in vain.”…
Now that we have discussed with the two important officials in Jeju Prefecture who are in charge of the recruitment of Liangshan, according to the usual practice, all the leaders of the village who surrendered to the imperial court must also go to Bianliang, Tokyo, and enter the city for pilgrimage, and be personally inspected by the officials.
11. Kuanxu was originally guilty of the crime, so he officially accepted the offer of recruitment from the imperial court. He will be appointed to the post one day and await the dispatch of the Privy Council of the imperial court. He will be rewarded with official posts and rewards after he has made meritorious deeds during the conquest in the future.
When Song Jiang and others returned to Liangshan Dazhai and returned to the Juyi Hall, they beat drums and summoned all the leaders to sit down. Song Jiang coughed lightly and said loudly: "Brothers are here, since Wang Lun founded the village,
Then... alas... King Chao Tian went up to the mountain to establish his business, and it became so prosperous. I have been rescued by all my brothers from Jiangzhou and have respected me for several years. Today I am happy to be welcomed by the imperial court and see the sun again.
Sooner or later, you will have to go to the capital to contribute to the country. All of you who have come here today will collect the things from the treasury and put them in the treasury for public use. The rest of the income will be divided equally. We, the brothers, must also go to the capital as soon as possible.
As a saint in the capital, you must not betray the great kindness of the Emperor. This time you have been recruited to go to the imperial court, and you must not cause trouble due to impatience, which will lead to the failure of good things..."
As Song Jiang was talking, he noticed that among the leaders present, some of them did not look as respectful and submissive to him as before. Instead, their expressions seemed a little hesitant and complicated. With Song Jiang's scheming, he also
It can be guessed that there are also some unruly and reckless people among them. Seeing that the envoys sent by the imperial court are domineering and arrogant, but I, the master of the village who originally controlled the heroes in Liangshan, had no choice but to submit.
Bear.
Even if those who are willing to stay now are willing to accept the imperial court's recruitment, Song Jiang's submissive attitude has undoubtedly reduced his prestige in the eyes of the leaders of the village.
Didn't I do this for the sake of the future of all of you brothers? I have to bow my head under the eaves, why are you complaining about me now? There are also the leaders of the village such as Chao Tianwang who have left...
...just hanging out in the green forest, but when will it end?
Song Jiang sighed in his heart, but had no choice but to hold his thoughts and say nothing. He asked the village leader and others to record the name of the village leader. He also ordered Xiao Rang to write a notice and sent people to post it in all directions, notifying the nearby prefectures, counties, towns and villages.
Everyone reports.
The next day, the troops sent from Liangshan Mountain went to the nearby prefectures and counties, as well as the scattered villages below, to inform all the places that Liangshan had gathered people in the mountains and forests, disturbing the people in all directions. Fortunately, the emperor was kind and kind, and issued a special imperial edict to pardon this crime.
Liangshan raised the stronghold to recruit people to surrender. In the stronghold, gold, jewels, shells, colorful silk ribbons, gauze and other items were sent to the capital, and they were also preparing to make other arrangements for favors. With everything being prepared, Song Jiang was also preparing to lead a group of people.
The leaders brought all the troops and horses to the capital for pilgrimage. The remaining matters that need to be dealt with are how to deal with the carefully repaired city walls and houses on Liangshanbo and pass the Dazhai.
It is somewhat similar to the rules in the green forest. Generally speaking, which villagers want to defect to Dazhai to join the gang, such as Erlong Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, Huangmen Mountain, Mangdang Mountain, Shaohua Mountain, Taohua Mountain... in the original book...
First, he set fire to his own village gate, and then he packed up all his wealth, silk, gold, silver, food, grass, and soldiers, and marched to the village to join the Dazhai and join the group.
It means that the heroes of the green forest live and die together in justice. When the green forest gangsters were recruited by the court, they also had to burn and demolish all the buildings in their strongholds. Therefore, the place where the gangsters gathered was once again transformed into a place where the gangsters gathered.
The mountains and rivers where passers-by and the common people could find food and clothing, and travel and admire the scenery, also cut off their own way back, and they were determined never to rebel again, and were willing to serve the imperial court loyally.
Song Jiangxin said that now, he is planning to order all the houses in the village to be removed from the surrounding villages, and the three city walls and other city defenses will also be demolished, and then sent to each family in the village.
When the old and young leaders were arranging their relatives to return to their hometowns, Wu Yong suddenly stood up and reported to Song Jiang: "Brother, wait a minute. In my opinion, I will demolish the foundation of the village wall and pay the leaders and their families to return to their hometowns."
, as well as all the money, food, ordnance, and ships in the stronghold, went to Bianjing, and delivered them to the military commander and other matters... After all, the court's grace period has not yet arrived, so there is no rush."
