Chapter 219 Situation Reversal

When you find a cockroach, it must have made a nest somewhere invisible to the naked eye.

It was pure luck that things in Jinan were leaked.

In desperation, Old Man Han ran to the Zhenjun Temple to curse Liang Shanjun, only to be overheard by Li Gui. But is it possible that other state capitals are clean?

After Li Gui briefly cleared up the affairs in Jinan, he decided to conduct a comprehensive inspection.

But a problem arises, there is a shortage of manpower. The generals and subordinates in Qizhou collude with each other to exclude Fang Qiong, the governor of the state. Is it possible that other places still hope that local self-examination can find out the problem?

We can only send people from our village to check.

But the village was now short of manpower. After much deliberation, Li Gui had no choice but to target the group of veterans who had first been trained in Liangshan.

During the expansion of Liangshan, these people, as the backbone, were sent to various armies as captains and deputy generals. Now that they have been practicing abroad for so long, their abilities must be stronger.

Although he knew that bringing these people back would definitely arouse their dissatisfaction, Li Gui really had no one he could trust, so he had no choice but to bring them all back.

When Li Gui mentioned this idea to Liangshan, he aroused everyone's opposition.

"Brother, just for this matter, why don't you bring back all the veterans from all over the place?"

"Not all heroes are from Jinan, most of them are generous and generous."

"Why don't we just let each state conduct self-examination? Why bring back all the soldiers from Lao Liangshan?"

"There are many powerful locals in various states who are in turmoil. If all the old soldiers are withdrawn, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will be greatly affected."

A group of brothers obviously didn't understand Li Gui's thoughts.

Li Gui sneered and said:

"What happened here in Qizhou is definitely not an isolated case. It just happened to happen to me."

"If there are military prefectures where someone has bribed all the subordinate officials, it is not difficult to sideline a magistrate."

"Others are going to investigate, but a certain family is worried. Only the earliest batch of old Liangshan brothers go to various places to investigate in batches, and there is no interest in each other, so it is possible to find out the truth."

"There is no need to discuss this matter again. I have decided to leave it to Brother Pei Xuan."

"Everyone knows the character of Brother Pei Xuan. He will never engage in malpractice for personal gain, nor will he deliberately frame anyone."

"Also send a message to those brothers who are out raiding, asking them to put aside their work first, let those local powerful men live for a few more days, come back to Liangshan to help, and lead a small team to review the scores in each township and county. local conditions.”

"Starting from Jeju and Yunju, we will investigate the surrounding states one by one, mainly investigating land issues. We can also investigate other matters incidentally as long as they do not affect the main goal."

"After the Lin Chong brothers conquered Tokyo, they should not expand outward for the time being. They should clean up the interior first and then talk about other things."

Seeing Li Gui's resolute attitude, everyone had no choice but to obey the order, issued a military order, and transferred all the soldiers who were first trained in Liangshan back to the mountain to begin internal self-examination.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

It's not just Qizhou that has problems, there are problems in the first few states investigated. It’s not just a matter of dividing the land, there are all kinds of problems, such as indiscriminate killing of innocent people, raping women, seizing people’s property... most of the things that bandits and bandits often do, these heroes have also done.

It's not that Liangshan Army doesn't have positions such as military judges, but after the territory expands, many people can't manage them at all.

Although the Liangshan Army also distributed land to the people, just like the people on the Yushan side, all the people were worried that the Song Army would fight back and kill them as collaborators, so they subconsciously maintained a relationship with the Liangshan Army. Don't dare to get too close.

Even if something happens, I don't want to go to the new Yamen to complain.

And because of the existence of those black sheep, many people also lack trust in the Liangshan Army and still regard them as bandits.

In addition, most people were actually allocated land, so a small number of unlucky families could only get sympathy from their neighbors, but no one was willing to offend the murderous Liang Shanjun for these unlucky people.

Just like Old Man Han, almost everyone in the city knew about him, but no one had ever tipped the news to Fang Qiong, because everyone believed that this Zhizhou must be in the same group as General Geng. .

Crows are as black as crows in the world, and the powerful oppress the common people every year. Isn’t this how everyone is here?

After being bullied, you can only accept your bad luck. How can you expect someone to avenge you?

But when the Liangshan Army began to conduct strict investigations, beheaded batches of people, and made the charges public, the people really realized that the Liangshan Army seemed to have a real Master Qingtian!

What are you waiting for?

Go and file a complaint quickly!

Then the snow-like paper flew into the local government office.

Pei Xuan's character, of course, would not let these things go, so he assigned some personnel to conduct a strict investigation, and then all the things were exposed.

After finding out this information, the heroes of Liangshan were immediately furious. They arrested all these so-called heroes, tried, convicted and beheaded them one by one.

Because Liangshan had not yet conquered the world at this time, there were no charges such as exile or imprisonment. Basically, minor crimes were dismissed from office, fined with silver, or beaten with a cane, while serious crimes were punished with a knife on the head.

Suddenly, there was a bloody storm in Liangshan, and the dead were all members of the family. This made the heroes in several distant states feel in danger, and they redistributed the plundered land one after another.

Even if the matter was minor, they would cover it up in various ways. Thinking that they would not be able to escape investigation, they would simply abandon the city and run away. How many people would flee to other states with their belongings and become bandits again?

The house leaked and it rained all night, and bad news came from the front line... Lin Chong was defeated!

Originally, Lin Chong drove away the envoys who called for peace, and after preparing military supplies, gunpowder and other supplies, he led the army to attack the Gyeonggi Road. Daming Mansion came to visit King Qin from Song Jiang and his entourage.

The two armies faced each other, and Song Jiang's men were killed by Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others. Five generals were killed in a row. They did not dare to fight anymore. Instead, they launched their newly trained artillery troops and bombarded Liangshan's army.

Lin Chong hurriedly set up artillery and fired at Song Jiang.

The soldiers on both sides were a mob. After several rounds of shelling, they collapsed almost at the same time.

Both sides withdrew their troops to regroup and fought again the next day. As a result, both armies collapsed at the same time again.

Unexpectedly, Song Jiang took advantage of the large number of cannon fodder and detached a reserve team from behind. After the formation of the front army collapsed, he rushed out.

Lin Chong and others were unable to cope with it and were chased all the way until they fled back to Yingtian Mansion.

Song Jiang seized the artillery of Liangshan Army, gathered up the defeated army, and returned in triumph.
