Spring is fleeting, but time is fleeting. The warm wind blows open the lotus flowers in the Bian River, signaling the arrival of midsummer.
Passenger ships came one after another from the Lianghuai River along the Bianhe River and settled at Wansui Camp on the eastern outskirts of the city. All those who got off were men who were in hiding.
By the time of Huizong's reign, it was common for ministers to have generals in their homes, and Tong Guan even had his own army.
Of course, Yang Lin would not miss this opportunity. The Long Live Battalion must be built into the Yang Family Army, so he was particularly attentive.
On one side of the school grounds is Genyue Shoushan, which is under construction. In comparison, the school grounds in this corner seem a bit small.
Hundreds of men stood among them, already quite full. Yang Lin looked at them and saw that they were indeed a ragtag group of people.
There were chaotic formations, no lines at all, some with bare arms, one with a bird's nest holding a dog's tail grass in its mouth.
Standing ten meters away, Yang Lin could smell the strong smell of sweat. These salt dealers were all unruly people. If they were trained well, they would be a group of elites. If they were not trained well, they would be a bunch of thorns.
After looking around coldly, Yang Lin walked among the people. Next to him was Yang San, whom he had not seen for a long time.
The chaotic crowd did not become quiet for a moment because of his arrival, but the master and servant did not feel much noise. If they looked closer, they found that both ears had a ball of cotton stuffed in them.
Yang Lin moved his fingers, and Yang San next to him struck the gong at his waist.
The harsh sound of the gong was heard, and the group of thornheads immediately began to yell and curse, especially those who were close.
Yang Lin waved his hand again, the gong sounded loudly, and someone shouted: "Yang Tiju, let's not quarrel anymore. If you have anything to say, just say it. Stop torturing people."
There was also the one who was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he was glared at by Yang Tong, so he had to come back obediently.
Lord Salt is not easy to get along with, otherwise he would not have been given a nickname, which sounds the same as Lord Yama.
Yang Lin nodded, pulled out the cotton from his ears, and his ears buzzed. He was so angry that he kicked Yang San in the thigh, who was still beating the gong happily.
"Everyone, I didn't bring you from Jiangnan to Bianliang to show your slovenliness and rudeness. We are all Jianghu people who lick blood from the edge of their swords. We all know how to write a strong character and how to pronounce a weak character. My officer
I won’t tell you lies, but I will tell you one thing. From today on, I will select a hundred people from you. These hundred people must be strong in all aspects. By then, in addition to having a formal officer status, each person will
There is still a hundred dollars of salary per month.”
With a roar, the crowd became chaotic again. Yang Lin covered his ears and kicked Yang San, and there was another gong sound.
The crowd became quiet again, with Yang Tong, Lu Taixuan, and Lei Dong standing aside. Everyone was angry and dared not speak, so they could only listen to Yang Lin continue to speak.
"But I'll say it first. I only choose the elite. I would rather be short-lived than poor."
"In this month, you will receive the most rigorous training. There are only three things you have to do: obey, obey, or fucking obey."
"If anyone is disobedient, or wants to quit midway, I will send someone to beat him to death and throw him into the Bian River. I believe no one will complain about you and collect the body. I am very tough backstage, and you will take both black and white. Now,
You are destined to die. If you pass my selection, you will be the Jingui Special Service Team of the Long Live Battalion. I think you must not have such a high level of consciousness. I have to kill at least a few thorns to establish authority. I want to stir up trouble.
I advise you to hurry up so that I can establish my authority early."
These salt dealers are all crawling out of the dead body and the sea of blood. They have countless lives on their hands. They are all unruly masters. It was good that they knew Yang Tong's reputation before, but the newcomers have long been unable to bear this arrogance.
I'm an official now.
No matter how famous Yang Tong was, he was still an old man more than ten years ago. Some of these desperadoes were recruited simply to avoid enemies or the government.
"I'll kill you first!"
A lean man with a scar on his face was offended by Yang Lin's attitude. As soon as he made a move, he went straight for Yang Lin's throat, only to find that he hit a fist.
Lu Taixuan held his hand, concentrated his strength and twisted it, and there was a sound of flesh and bone being separated, followed by a tragic howl.
Yang Lin said expressionlessly: "Very good, this is the first one. Pull him out, beat him to death and throw him into the Bianhe River. Is there anything else?"
From that day on, every day before dawn in the Long Live Camp, there would be a group of men running around carrying logs, rolling in the mud, climbing over walls and drilling holes, like a group of lunatics.
Yang Lin selected a few outstanding players from his bankers as coaches and supervised their training every day.
Anyone who disobeys will be dragged down and given a severe beating, then tied to the side and hung up to watch the rest of the group train.
Yang Lin often patrols the surrounding area with a group of thugs. Liu Qingshui was horrified by what he saw and asked, "Da Lang, are you sure there won't be any fatalities if you do this?"
"I know it well."
This group of salt dealers almost collapsed, and people yelled at the sky every day, but after they were injured, they were treated by the best doctors and the best medicinal materials. They ate either beef or mutton every day, and they would never be short of food or clothing.
Condition.
Even so, they hated Yang Lin from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, there were also a few lunatics who enjoyed it.
Slowly, the scoldings became less and less, and those who were gradually eliminated also stayed in the Long Live Camp and became ordinary fans, but the treatment was very different.
Looking at the people who were removed, doing odd jobs on the side, a sense of honor gradually spread among the remaining people.
From the beginning, everyone wanted to be eliminated, but now everyone is working hard, and if they want to enjoy the best, they have to stay.
These people have a certain ruthlessness, not only towards others, but also towards themselves. They are all hard-nosed people, and they are so ruthless that they open their minds and accept this kind of death training.
The sun is getting worse day by day, and the hard days are still to come——
Gen Yue, which had attracted the emperor's attention, finally started construction. The first batch of strange stones to be transported were paid for by the Yang family at their own expense. Carriage and horse shops and water transport ships were recruiting. Yang Lin decided to give Zhao Ji a little benefit at his own expense.
Look at the exquisite and unique pieces of flowers and stones being piled into Gen Yue.
Zhao Ji was so happy that he couldn't move his feet, so he urged Yang Lin to speed up the construction period.
Yang Lin took the opportunity to slander again, and wanted to expand Gen Yue's target to include not only the strange stones from Taihu Lake, Lingbi, Cixi, and Wukang; the flowers and bamboos, miscellaneous trees, and seas in Zhejiang; the exotic flowers, lychees, longans, and olives from Fujian;
Coconuts from Hainan; bamboo and asparagus from Hunan; fruits from the south of the Yangtze River; aragonite from Denglai, Haicuo, Ziyi; and exotic flowers and fruits from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Sichuan can all be transported to Bianliang.
Zhao Ji was so pleased with Long Yan that he promoted Yang Lin to concurrently serve as Zuo Sijian and School Secretary, and authorized him to patrol the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the emperor so that he could conduct raids nearby.
Yang Lin happened to want to set up a shipping department in the coastal states. This was a great opportunity, so he started to prepare for the inspection.
