Chapter 1306 Ancient and modern villains, a raccoon dog
"Did you know? There was a monk named Lu Zhishen who followed Xiao Tang's rebels and caused chaos. He was originally a military man in Guanxi. He was originally a national official, but he was a drunkard and a womanizer. Quan Yin fell in love with a local wealthy man. The concubine he took in was filled with hatred, and he didn't ask the rich man about the concubine's background. After getting drunk, he beat him to death with three punches. He got the nickname "Flower Monk" because of murder, arson, drunkenness and lust. , Bah! Just such a despicable piece of shit has made a name for himself in the world. Sure enough, there are no good people in Liangshan, Erlong Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain..."
"I also heard that a member of the Imperial Household in Beijing named Jade Qilin Lu Junyi said that he was good at martial arts, but he was talkative. That's why he taught his wife Hongxing, who was lonely and intolerable, to cheat on her. What do you think of him? Why is his family so rich? I heard that he secretly had liaisons with the Liao people in the north, doing all kinds of treacherous things, and only then did he make enough money..."
"I do know that among those thieves, there is one named Leopard Head Lin Chong. He was originally the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army in Bianliang, Tokyo, but he is an eggless coward. In order to cater to the superior, he even looked at his wife. He hooked up with Gao Yanei and turned into an adulterer. He could teach his wife to steal a man, so what kind of a hero he is? Hehe... He had no choice but to endure the crime and was exiled from the army. Instead, he became a strongman. No matter how powerful he was, it was just for the sake of it. Those who work hard to keep their official positions, bully the weak and fear the strong..."
"One of the thieves was called Walker Wu Song. He was known to be a brave and fierce murderer when he killed people on the long street. It is said that he killed the son of Taishi Cai in Hangzhou and got the good name of Tiger Killer Wu Song. However, when Duipei arrived in Mengzhou, he killed countless people with cruel methods and was also a ruthless butcher. It is said that Quan fell in love with the foster mother of the local governor's house and wanted to be his concubine, but his good deeds were ruined. The fact that he killed someone so ruthlessly shows his character, and to put it bluntly, he is also a beast who kills without blinking an eye..."
"It is said that those who are not of my race must have different intentions. The rebel Xiao Tang was originally a southward immigrant, so naturally he cannot be regarded as a son of our Han family. This guy will avenge his kindness and live up to the official's favor and the country's favor. Therefore, I say that anyone with whom The Di Yi Tartars can make some connections, regardless of whether they are old, weak, women or children, they still see the benefits and defect to our Song Dynasty. Everyone deserves to be killed, and death is not a pity. He gathered thieves and gangsters to cause chaos, but returned to Enjiayi's fortress alive. Fight for a good reputation. In my opinion, this kind of dog thief is the most detestable and deserves to be killed. Robbers are robbers. What good things can be gained by thieves and bandits who follow those traitors and traitors?"...
During these days, vicious words were spread everywhere inside and outside Jeju, slandering Xiao Tang and even the heroes of the mountains and mountains under his command. Everyone who knew the inside story knew that an old official named Wang Mingjin in the Jeju government office secretly ordered his minions to spread the rumors everywhere.
Because Wang Jin was a man who had fought against poison all his life, the whole city called him the "King of Heart-Eviscerators." However, because Gao Qiu regarded the state government office as the headquarters for conquering the bandits in the mountains along Jingdong Road, the Jeju Prefecture temporarily dispatched him. He was a minor official under Gao Qiu's tent.
It turns out that Wang Jin is good at catching winds, injuring others out of thin air, making mistakes, finding clues between the lines, and other things that gentle scum often do. However, Xiao Tang now has no intention of accepting the imperial court's invitation, and the imperial court It was absolutely impossible to allow Xiao Tang, who had betrayed the country, to become a minister. Some conspiracy tricks could not be used. Wang Jin then advised Gao Qiu to spread the story about the past bad behavior of the bandit leaders under Xiao Tang's command, whether it was hearsay or not. Regardless of the rumors, the other party is originally a green forest gangster, and he deliberately wants to win the hearts of the people. If he deliberately pours some dirty water on the gangsters, some ignorant people in the surrounding military states will believe it. , for Gao Qiu, it is beneficial and harmless.
Some of these gossips actually reached Xiao Tang's ears through the mouth of the whistleblower, but he didn't take it to heart at all. Who is Wang Jin, the "Heart-gouging King" in the original work? Xiao Tang Naturally, we are well aware that in all dynasties, there have always been villains who made mischief and spread rumors and slander in the dark.
On the contrary, Xiao Tang found it a little funny, because many of the gossips that slandered his brothers were actually related to a group of later generations who had only half-understanding of the original works. They deliberately jumped out and denounced Wang Ying, Yan Shun and his ilk, and Liangshan Baidanba. There will never be a good person, and he will even use the same words to hurt those who have feelings for Water Margin. Even if some people believe it, he is just like the many birds in later generations who are just following the wind, overcorrecting, and following the trend without thinking. It's cool, but in fact, if you look closely, you will only find that these people shamelessly misrepresent the approximate deeds of many people in Liangshan. This kind of clown with teeth and claws has always been common. This shows that people have been guilty of being stupid since ancient times. They all look like birds.
Xiao Tang was still doing his own thing in Shuibo Liang Village, and ordered all the leaders under his command to take their orders, and to obey the orders of the officers and soldiers who were coming to conquer the day. He would not take the rumors in Jeju seriously, because but Anyone who spreads rumors, listens to rumors, and spreads those messages, no matter what era they are in, do not deserve to be cared about.
However, although Xiao Tang didn't take those rumors seriously, he was deeply moved when he heard that he was now being coerced into attacking Song Jiang where he used to be.
Because Song Jiang is also very aware of the reputation of Jeju and even several surrounding military states. He has heard about Qingzhou and the two mountains for a long time... and now he has also launched a group of bandits in Liangshan. Except for some scoundrels and idlers who do good things, or some unruly and foolish men who are very fond of stirring up trouble, Wang I'm afraid Jin's tricks will not be of much use. What's more, the people in the surrounding areas are increasingly gnashing their teeth and hating the conquest army led by Gao Qiu.
Along the way, Song Jiang also saw with his own eyes that Gao Qiu indulged his soldiers from various states and went to the villages to plunder and plunder. The civilians suffered more than just one end. When they arrived at Jeju Prefecture, the troops and horses of various tribes went to their respective villages, cut down trees and plants in the mountains, and moved captives. Building gates and building huts is very harmful to the people.
Just as thieves pass by like combs and soldiers pass by like grates, Song Jiang secretly promised that when he and Chao Gai were in charge of the Liangshan Dazhai, they would have the idea of cleansing the village unless they wanted to break the enemy village. After the war, except for the treasury and silk , all the grain and rice stored in the warehouses, and all the belongings of the corrupt officials and bullies were loaded up the mountain. In the prefectures and counties they passed through, almost no harm was done to the common people. But when Gao Qiu came with his troops... it seemed that He did not regard the looting people as the people of the Song Dynasty at all, and the looting was so rampant that even the former leader of Liangshan Village, who was once accused of being the bandit leader, couldn't bear to look at it!
The commander-in-chief of the army, Gao Qiu, instructed Wang Jin to spread rumors and slander the heroes of Xiao Tang's command. On the contrary, it seemed more like a thief shouting to catch the thief. Song Jiang couldn't help but recall that after he accepted the court's recruitment, he sent people to nearby prefectures and counties and scattered villages. , all over the line, and residents from all over the place within a hundred miles, carrying bags and books, gathered in the clouds, all came to the village, and there were people who supported the old and the young to see each other off on the road. I believed in Liangshanbo's reputation in the past, but now As the vanguard of the government and army, Song Jiang returned to the borders of Jeju, but he could still feel the angry but afraid-to-speak eyes of some people who had been robbed and harmed when they looked at him... When he was a robber, he was able to win a With a good reputation, when you are an official and general, you have to be scolded by the common people. What kind of world is this?
Now the navy under the command of Liu Menglong was also intercepted and killed by various naval forces under Xiao Tang's command on the waterway. The large and small warships were either burned or captured by the leader of Liangshan Bo. Gao Qiu had no choice but to order Song Jiang to supervise the construction of ships immediately, day and night.
Capture civilians for service, and there are many shipyards on the east side of Jeju near Yangsan, a water park. In addition to seizing future ships everywhere, they also cut down trees and build ships, and marched into Yangshan. The military schools that were sent out were all fierce and evil, and they drew their swords to intimidate the civilians.
, there is no starry night, it must be complete.
Song Jiang was in a complicated mood, so he had to lead his troops to station at the shipyard and supervise the civilians who had been forcibly captured from various places to build ships. However, Wu Yong took the initiative to find Song Jiang and remonstrated: "Brother Gongming, Liu Menglong on the previous waterway,
Two soldiers and horses came to Huyanzhuo on the dry road, but they were all intercepted and killed by Xiao Tang's unexpected troops. Now we have to supervise the shipbuilding work here...I am afraid that they will not be willing to wait and see."
