Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 28
...

Wang Lun, Du Qian, Song Wan, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, and Meng Kang entered Dongshan Hotel in turn.

As soon as he saw Li Yan, Deng Fei said happily: "Brother is finally back!" Then Deng Fei said inadvertently: "Why didn't brother go back to Dazhai and call me here?"

Li Yan helped Deng Fei dust off his body, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu Gui said that his cook here is a good fisherman, I asked you to come and have a taste... Are you still used to living here?"

Deng Fei didn't realize the loopholes in Li Yan's excuse, nor did he see the change in Wang Lun's expression after hearing Li Yan's excuse full of loopholes. Don't worry about the encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers, I have gained a lot of weight."

Li Yandao: "It may not be so comfortable in the future. I want my brother to try to lead troops. I don't know what you want?"

Deng Fei said happily: "Okay, it's just...my martial arts is really not as good as Brother Wu Song and the others."

Li Yandao: "Let me give you a try first. If you are not used to being a general, then you can be a deputy general. If you are not used to leading a general, then you can take an auxiliary soldier. In short, brother, you will be able to use your skills!"

If it is the leader who cares about it, maybe he will have some ideas, but Deng Fei didn't, but said happily: "Hey! I listen to my brother!"

After letting Deng Fei take his seat, Li Yan said to Meng Kang again: "Brother, you have worked hard."

Meng Kang said with a smile: "It's not hard, I, like Brother Deng Fei, are restless people, but... I have let my brother down a bit, and only recruited more than [-] boatmen for my brother."

Li Yandao: "In just over a month, my brother was able to recruit more than [-] boatmen, which is enough to show that brother did his best. Let's find a way for other boatmen slowly."

Meng Kang said: "There is also the treasure ship that is thirty or forty feet long and ten feet wide that my brother mentioned. It is really difficult for my younger brother to build it. I carefully studied the shipbuilding letters handed down by my ancestors several times. It’s not the right way, and it’s hard to get such a big ship, and it’s probably only in Fuzhou..."

Li Yandao: "The treasure ship is the goal of our efforts. We don't want to build it now. Now let's build a few large ships that can travel far."

Meng Kangdao: "My younger brother's shipbuilding skills belong to the northern school. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are also master shipbuilders of the southern school. The most famous one is Ye. His family has built large ships and warships for generations. He is good at building loach boats. It is called the Big Loach Boat. There are 24 waterwheels on both sides. The boat can accommodate hundreds of people. The wagons are placed on the left and right, and if they want to start, there will be a bang on the deck, and the 24 water wheels will be stepped on together, and the boats will fly. If we can get the power of the Ye family and combine the strengths of our two families, even if we can't build a treasure ship, we can definitely build a large ship that can travel far."

"Ye Chun? The shipbuilder who built a ship for Gao Qiu after he was robbed of his money by the leader of Liangshan Po boy and left in Jeju after hearing that Gao Qiu was going to conquer Liangshan and offered the design of a loach boat?" Li Yan thought to himself.

Meng Kang said: "The little Lu Ban is from Sizhou, my younger brother wants to go to Sizhou to earn Ye Chun and Ye's family to join the gang."

Li Yan patted Meng Kang's arm again, and said: "The big ship is related to our life and death in Liangshanbo, please leave it to my brother, bring more money and silver, and pick more clever people to accompany my brother to earn that Ye Chun and the Ye family went up to the mountain to join the gang, um... Sizhou is far away, brother will bring dozens of good hands to accompany you on the road."

Deng Fei interjected: "Brother, younger brother and Meng Kang brothers met a hero when they were walking in the rivers and lakes in the early years. The hero's surname was Yang Minglin, and everyone in the rivers and lakes called him Jin Baozi. It’s a big deal, I heard that he is now in Dongchang Mansion, I’m not talented, I’m willing to recruit him to join the gang for my elder brother, and then he will accompany Brother Meng Kang to earn Ye Chun and Ye’s family to go up the mountain to join the gang, this will definitely happen!”

Yang Lin's martial arts are not outstanding, but he is very courageous. For example, knowing that the road in Zhujiazhuang is complicated, he still wanders in it in a daze, and even gets captured; There are also hundreds of young men, Jiedao, just to show their skills in front of Dai Zong (or want to have some glory after going up the mountain), and they go up with a pen and a gun.

In the later development of Shuibo Liangshan, Yang Lin fully demonstrated the brilliance of his first million gold oil, and was active in various industries in the cottage. The official title is Ma Jun Xiaobiao, but he himself is still mixed He also beheaded Qiu Yue when he was fighting Gao Taiwei's navy (although it was cheap); he was also very active in the infantry. At that time, he gave Gao Lian a crossbow arrow to boost his morale; for the first time against Hu Yanzhuo's serial horses, Liangshan collapsed in the first battle, and Song Jiang escaped with the cover of Yang Lin and Li Kui who were in ambush; Engaged in procurement activities in the mountains - accompanied Duan Jingzhu to the north to purchase horses.

From this point of view, if we want to find out who in Shuibo Liangshan is more complicated than Yang Lin, and who does a good job, there is really no one.

Although Yang Lin's skills are not very high, he can keenly grasp opportunities no matter where he goes.

Living in troubled times, it is very important to know how to seize opportunities.

Attacking Yutian County in the Liao Kingdom, he and Xie Zhen rushed to the rear of the Liao army, and finally managed to break through and come back.

During the conquest of Fangla, Yang Lin was infected with the plague when his troops arrived in Hangzhou. Yang Zhi, Mu Hong, Shi Qian and others fell ill with him, but in the end only Yang Lin survived, and even Zhu Fu, who was guarding him, was killed. The infection died.

Yang Lin can be regarded as an indifferent and indisputable person. In the end, Yang Lin did not accept the imperial court's reward, but went back to Yinmachuan with Pei Xuan to seek leisure.

Therefore, Yang Lin may not be very talented in martial arts, but he is definitely not lacking in skills. Just like what Deng Fei said, he is good at running and can be entrusted with great things.

Li Yandao: "Brother, if you invite Brother Yang Lin to go up the mountain, I will not treat him badly!"

Deng Fei said: "In a few days, my younger brother will go to Dongchang Mansion to invite him to gather together on the mountain!"

After Meng Kang was seated, Li Yanchong said to Pei Xuan: "No rules, no rules, what happened to the constitution drafted by brothers?"

Pei Xuandao: "There is already a first draft, and I am going to ask my brother to make a final decision."

Li Yandao: "This constitution is the fundamental law of my Liangshanbo, and it cannot be sloppy. In this way, I will set aside a few days later, and the two of us will discuss it slowly."

Pei Xuan replied, "Yes, brother!"

After letting Pei Xuan take his seat, Li Yan patted Song Wan's arm with a smile, and said, "Brother, you have worked hard during this time."

Song Wan bared his teeth and said, "It's not hard, I've already fallen in love with training those bastards!"

Li Yan said: "Take a seat."

Just as Du Qian wanted to go up to talk to Li Yan, Li Yan said, "Sit down, I have something to discuss with you."
