After the Lantern Festival, Liangshan suddenly made frequent moves...
There was no large-scale war, but strong measures were taken against the local tyrants, evil gentry and village tyrants in the prefectures and counties surrounding Shuibo.
All local tyrants, evil gentry, and village tyrants who are rampant in the countryside have serious grievances among the people, and Liangshan's elite people will immediately arrest them.
How could local local tyrants, evil gentry, and village tyrants running rampant in the countryside own houses and withstand the impact of Liangshan's elite?
Even the house with high walls and deep doors could not withstand the bombardment of the small trebuchet specially made by Thunderous Thunder Lingzhen.
After arresting people, the Liangshan elite did not deal with them immediately. Instead, they first collected all the charges against these local tyrants, evil gentry and rural overlords, and then held a public trial.
Under the intentional guidance of Liangshan elites, the atmosphere of the public trial was so lively that it would definitely scare those big men who were usually aloof and domineering to wet their pants.
Then, after collecting all the evidence, Liangshan did not kill anyone, but handed over the captured local tyrants, evil gentry and rural overlords, as well as all their criminal evidence to the local officials.
Without giving the government any chance to commit fraud or perfunctory matters, it directly gave a one-month deadline. If it was not handled properly within one month, Liangshan would publicize the irrefutable evidence throughout Jingdong East Road and even send it to Kaifeng Mansion in Bianliang.
Go get one.
I don't believe it, the local government still dares to play tricks under the eyes of so many people.
If there really is a stubborn and uneasy existence, the Liangshan army attacks the prefectures and counties and punishes the people. Even the so-called imperial court has to hold back the righteousness in hand.
This time, the three states bordering Liangshan Shuibo, Jeju, Yunzhou and Puyang government were in a state of distress.
Ignore it, the threat of Liangshan is very close at hand, and the local people are also watching it with eager eyes. Anyone who fails to provoke a popular uprising will be taken lightly.
Only Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Jeju, had some courage and dared to deal with these cases openly, but even he was walking on thin ice, fearing that if he did not do well, he would be dismissed from office.
Liang Shan was very ruthless, coercing public opinion and forcing the government. No matter how unhappy the officials were, they could only hold their noses and admit it.
Of course, the memorial reported privately to the court and requested the court to send troops to suppress the bandits was sent to the officials of the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible.
Gao Qiu wished that Liangshan was finished. With him watching personally, the court officials couldn't suppress the matter even if they wanted to.
The officials of the Song Dynasty were furious when they saw the memorial, and immediately summoned a group of important ministers to discuss how to deal with such a difficult matter.
As mentioned before, Song Weizong was definitely not a fool, and his political skills were quite good. At least he could completely control the court, which neither his father nor his brother who died long ago could do.
The Song Dynasty court never paid attention to the low-class people, but if the low-class people were really inspired, the emperor and the important officials would not dare to ignore it.
After many discussions, they all felt that what happened this time was Liangshan's conspiracy, and Liangshan must be completely suppressed, otherwise there will be no peace on Jingdong East Road in the future.
It is not that there are no courtiers who have suggested recruiting Liangshan bandits, but the current emperor has not yet clearly realized the strength of Liangshan's military power, and has no awareness of this aspect at all.
Gao Qiu also interfered, and the officials who proposed recruiting troops were dismissed as remote military states. The imperial court quickly came up with the strategy of Gao Qiu personally leading the army, supplemented by ten military campaigns to suppress Liangshan.
At this time, Liangshan had extended its tentacles of exploration to Bianliang City in Tokyo.
No matter it was Song Weizong or Gao Qiu, they had no intention of hiding it. The Liangshan spies quickly learned the accurate information and immediately passed it back to the Liangshan Shuibo village.
"Okay, very good, our opportunity in Liangshan has come!"
Facing the heavy-faced leaders such as Song Jiang, Chai Daguan couldn't help laughing and said with joy: "Among the officials in the court, who is the most malicious to our Liangshan, it is Gao Qiu.
belongs!"
Having said this, he looked around and said with a smile: "If we can defeat the imperial army commanded by Gao Qiu, it will not only show the strong combat effectiveness of our Liangshan army, but also settle accounts with Gao Qiu. It's a great thing to have the best of both worlds!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Shi Jin and other leaders who had direct or indirect grudges against Gao Qiu suddenly brightened up and felt full of morale.
Seeing Song Jiang's hesitant expression, Chai Daguan said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Gongming, why should he be hesitant? For a villain like Gao Qiu, even if he doesn't take his life, he must still seize his fatal leverage, otherwise he will wait until he is summoned."
Who among you can sleep peacefully after this?"
These words reminded all the leaders present, and they all nodded in agreement.
Even if there is no direct conflict with Gao Qiu, or even indirect conflict, they are both the leaders of Liangshan at this time. Who knows whether that villain Gao Qiu will bear a grudge against them, and then find ways to frame them?
Especially for a group of officers and soldiers who were demoted to generals, they couldn't help but shudder when they thought that Gao Qiu, in order to frame Coach Lin Chonglin, even went so far as to personally kill him in the name of "breaking into the festival hall with a knife".
If they encounter something like this in the future, they may not have a chance to survive.
Therefore, what Chai Daguan said touched their hearts.
Song Jiang originally wanted to object, but when he saw that all the important leaders present agreed, he immediately gave up his objections and said angrily: "Do you have any good ideas against Gao Qiu?"
"This is a good opportunity!"
Official Chai ignored Song Jiang's dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "If we can capture Gao Qiu alive, it will be too easy to brew him!"
"Of course, if we defeat Gao Qiu's men, it won't be a big blow to Gao Qiu. How can this guy be trusted by today's officials?"
The last sentence is the key point, reminding all the important leaders present that when there is a big fight with Gao Qiu's men, they must do everything possible to find a way to capture Gao Qiu alive.
To be honest, he was very puzzled by the fact that Liangshan captured Gao Qiu alive in the original work but did not arrange any means.
Knowing that Gao Qiu was a villain and would definitely be a huge hidden danger after being released, Liangshan did not have any precautions. This is just a brain problem.
Naturally, Chai Daguan would not make such a mistake. If Gao Qiu fell into his hands, he would be frightened and dare not do anything random even if he did not die.
Seeing this, Song Jiang didn't have much to say, so he had to discuss the specific war plans with a group of important leaders who were enthusiastic and willing to fight.
As for Chai Daguan, after setting the fire, he naturally returned to the rear camp to mobilize manpower from various departments to make logistical preparations for the subsequent war.
In the original work, Liangshan's army could easily destroy Gao Qiu's army and even capture Gao Qiu alive. It makes no sense that Liangshan is now more powerful and can't deal with Gao Qiu.
Even if the men and horses in the front camp of Liangshan are not strong enough, the elite of the rear camp can still teach Gao Qiu how to behave. It is not an exaggeration at all.
At present, the strength of the rear camp is quite strong. In addition to the sixteen leaders in charge of the construction, there are also leaders with extraordinary martial arts skills such as the Ruan family's three heroes, Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun, and Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang.
There are also leopard-headed Lin Chong, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen who are all potential allies. If they are recruited to help, there will be no problem at all.
The most important thing is that the soldiers in the back camp have basically practiced the hard skills of the army in the main world. They are all strong and powerful. Even if they wear the infantry armor, the strongest infantry equipment of the Song Army in this era, they can continue to fight.
After running for twenty miles, I still had the strength to stab someone with a knife.
Even if they were faced with a cavalry unit, under the command of Lin Chong and others, they could form a formation and hold on for a while.
It can be said that the soldiers of Houying are considered to be the elites of the world in this era.
It's just that Chai Daguan didn't have the idea of stealing the limelight of the front camp. Otherwise, the troops of the front camp who trained according to the Song Army model would have nothing to compare with.
Taking advantage of the fact that the army led by Gao Qiu had not yet arrived, Liangshan recklessly swept away the local tyrants and evil gentry around Shuibo.
Originally, according to the wishes of Chai Daguan, the land stolen was to be distributed to the poor at the bottom. In this way, these poor people at the bottom who got the land were completely bound to Liangshan.
I just didn't expect that there were not many people at the bottom who had the courage to accept these fields. Obviously, the deterrent power of the government and local tyrants and evil gentry was not a joke.
Chai Daguan didn't think anything of it. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
All the confiscated fields from the local tyrants and evil gentry were taken back to Liangshan, and only 30% of the land was leased to the nearby lower class people, so that these people dared to take over.
But this is the case, except for the towns, the people's hearts and minds in almost all the villages near Shuibo belong to Liangshan.
In this way, Liangshan's foundation has been firmly established. As long as he does not act recklessly and maintains his strength at a certain level, there is no need to worry even if the government launches a massive siege.
Unless the government is ruthless and kills or relocates all the people in the three states around Shuibo, there will be no problems with the foundation of Liangshan.
It can be said that the Song Dynasty's organization and mobilization ability at this time was not that Chai officials looked down upon them, but they simply did not have such organization and mobilization ability, and they could not afford to spend such a huge amount of money.
The financial situation of the Song Dynasty was very bad, otherwise Cai Jing would not have had many ups and downs. Do you really think that Cai Jing would only flatter others?
Isn’t it true that Cai Jing is the only one in the entire court who has the ability to barely maintain it?
Without further ado, Lieutenant Gao Qiu personally led the army to conquer Liangshan. A group of soldiers, including the recruited Shijiedu, soon gathered in Bianliang, and then rushed to Liangshan with enough food, grass and weapons.
After Gao Qiu and his troops arrived at Liangshan Shuibo, for more than a month, there was a fierce fight between the Liangshan army and Gao Qiu's troops using various methods.
Again, the fortunes of Liangshan were at their peak at this time, and Gao Qiu was not a good general who was good at fighting. He relied entirely on the free play of his generals.
Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to defeat the Liangshan army, which was equally strong and united?
After three battles, not only the capable Shijiedu army was wiped out, but Gao Qiu was also captured. The plot is almost the same as the original work.
Gao Qiu was captured, which means Liangshan accepted the recruitment, and the final hidden danger was in his hands...
