Chapter 49 Li Gui’s conditions

Seeing Li Gui getting angry, a group of people hurriedly gathered around to persuade him.

"Brother, that's an angel, how could you deceive me?"

"The imperial edict is the handwriting and seal of the official. Who dares to use the imperial edict to set up a trap without fear of being accused of bullying the emperor?"

"The imperial court has already shown its sincerity, and it will only be appropriate for me to go there in person."

"We know that my brother is cautious, but staying on the mountain is too arrogant. If he offends the angels, it may not be a good thing."

A group of people talked all over the place, but they all had the same idea, which was to ask Li Gui to follow everyone down the mountain and go to the county town together to receive the order.

Li Gui waved his hand, interrupting their persuasion, and cursed:

"A bunch of ignorant and dishonest people!"

"Now that the imperial edict has been issued, it cannot be changed."

"How dare that angel dare to sabotage the plan of recruiting security laid down by the Prime Minister of the DPRK?"

"No matter how arrogant you are, he wouldn't dare not come and declare the decree!"

"Similarly, even if you treat them as ancestors, your official position in the imperial decree will not be increased by half!"

"You are in a hurry to recruit someone, but a certain family wants to see if the official position is suitable for you. If you are not satisfied, it doesn't matter whether you hire someone or not!"

"The brothers on the mountain are now divided into two groups. If you are in a hurry to recruit them, just take them away. I will lead the other brothers to continue to be thieves!"

After hearing what Li Gui said, everyone in the hall suddenly realized and understood Li Gui's attitude.

But they also knew that without Li Gui, how could the court recruit them?

But Li Gui organized those thorn-headed bandits into a team, and it was impossible to go with them.

Several people screamed in their hearts and had no choice but to turn around and plead with the envoy with a grimace. After stuffing a lot of money, they reluctantly sent the unhappy envoy away.

Everything was as Li Gui said. After the angel got the news, although he was furious, he still left the county and headed for Yushan.

The angel was escorted to the foot of Yushan Mountain. From a distance, he saw a group of people standing in front of the roadside checkpoint. When the angel came close, they all fell down and shouted:

"The common people are waiting to see the angel, and the angel comes in person. It is a very sinful crime!"

The angel put on a friendly smile, stretched out his hand to lift Zhu Fu in the middle, and said kindly:
"I have heard about General Li's bravery for a long time in Kyoto. There is no need to mention the past events. In the future..."

Zhu Fu interrupted awkwardly: "Back to Angel, my brother has been feeling unwell recently and is resting on the mountain. The villain is Zhu Fu, the second master of the cottage."

The angel's smiling face suddenly froze, almost ready to explode, but he forced himself to endure it, let go of Zhu Fu's hand, ignored him, and strode through the crowd with a cold face, heading straight up the mountain.

Several people hurriedly caught up and groveled to protect the angel's side and back to prevent any accidents caused by the angel's step.

When they arrived at the mountain, Angel saw that the outer wall of the cottage was made of rammed loess, with bluestones on the inside and outside. It was tall and thick, even worse than many county towns, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.

When he entered the stronghold, he saw that the flags in the stronghold were clear, the people and horses were neat and energetic, and the items in the stronghold were arranged in an orderly manner. Even the hygiene in the stronghold was very clean and tidy, which was even better than the Forbidden Army barracks he had seen in Kyoto. Wanting to be even better, he was even more afraid of Li Gui, whom he had never met before.

Such a thief must have a big plan, and it is important to eradicate him as soon as possible!

After making up his mind, he suppressed all the previous dissatisfaction in his heart, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

A few people around didn't know it, but they thought it was an angel who was happy to see the village covered in red and colorful decorations, so they stepped forward and said flatteringly:
"Although the villains and others are thieves, they are mostly forced to have no choice but to make a living and always turn to the court. When we heard that the angels were coming, we felt like rain came after a long drought. These colorful flags were made by the brothers in the village. , just to express a feeling of loyalty."

The angel smiled and comforted him: "You are interested. From now on, we will all be ministers of the same palace and serve the Song Dynasty together. The past has been wiped out from now on, and you don't need to worry." Everyone was overjoyed and turned to the one who had only met each other. After some clumsy flattery, for a while, the host and guest got along well with each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The group of people chatted and laughed and arrived at the Juyi Hall.

Li Gui sat on the chair in the middle, expressionless as he looked at the angel who had crossed the threshold. The scene suddenly became deserted.

The civil servants were still thick-skinned. Just when Zhu Fu and others didn't know how to smooth things over, the angel was already smiling, clasping his fists, and holding his hands in an extremely cordial manner.

"This hero must be the leader of Li Gui's stronghold, right?"

"Sure enough, meeting is better than being famous!"

"Before coming to Yizhou, I heard rumors that the leader of Dazhai was brave enough to be worthy of ten thousand men. I didn't believe it. Only now that I see the real person do I know that the leader of Dazhai is indeed a fierce general."

"There are really not many generals in my court who are as tall as the leader of Dazhai!"

"If a hero like the leader of Dazhai intends to contribute to the country, I can write a letter to the old manager of the Western Army, and serve as a commander or capital commander in the Western Army, so as to gain a wife and son on the battlefield. !”

This pile of ecstasy soup was poured down. If it were any other person, he would be fooled to the point where he could not find where to go. He would happily run to the Western Army to serve, and then die on the battlefield, wrapped in horse leather.

But when it comes to a naturally rebellious guy like Li Gui, it's useless.

Li Gui didn't say anything, he looked up to the sky and laughed, leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked arrogant.

"No need to talk nonsense, let's talk about the official position of a certain family. If it satisfies a certain family, the certain person will accept the order. If you just use some petty officials to fool you, haha..."

The angel's face was still friendly, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said:

"Don't worry, Lord of the stronghold, all the big and small bosses of the stronghold will be rewarded..."

"I don't care if they get rewards or not, I only care about my own official position!" Li Gui impatiently interrupted the nonsense of the turbaned man, "These birdmen, each of their eyes are smaller than their buttholes, just give them three Just melon and two dates, and you sold yourself cheaply!"

"A certain family is the first to make ugly remarks. A certain family is used to being the boss and can't bear to be groveled by others."

"Either you give me the Yishui County Magistrate, or let me serve as the military supervisor of Yishui County, and I won't take any smaller official positions!"

After finishing speaking, Li Gui looked around his men and sneered: "I won't stop you from recruiting me to be a dog. If this official position is not to my liking, I will resign after recruiting you and just set up a village near Yushan." , take the brothers to be a guarantor, and all the copycat brothers who are willing to come are guarantors."

After hearing this, the angel's face almost turned green.

He could not agree to any of these three choices.

The key to recruiting security is to disperse the people, otherwise wouldn't it become a local vassal town?
The magistrate of a county in the Song Dynasty, whose official name was "zhi county affairs", was the chief official of a county. In principle, he was the largest official in the county. As for the county magistrate, chief secretary, county lieutenant and other subordinate officials, they did not have any checks and balances on the county magistrate.

The city's military attache is the largest military attache in the county and is also the real military attache. He is in charge of the city's military garrison, equipment, training, and missions.

Besides, resigning to be a good person, what is the difference between that and continuing to be a bandit?
These three options are all ways to continue to build an army, which is definitely not allowed by the court.

 The military commanders of the Forbidden Army stationed in local areas are the Military and Horse Dujian. According to the size of the garrison, they are divided into the Military and Horse Dujian by route, the Military and Horse Dujian by the state, and the Military and Horse Dujian by the county.

  In some important military places, there are military garrisons such as towns, cities, and villages, with town soldiers and horse supervisors, city soldiers and horse supervisors, and village soldiers and horse supervisors as commanders respectively.

  Whether they are governors or custodians, these officials actually do the same job. They are the highest military officers of the local garrison of the Forbidden Army. However, those with higher qualifications and higher grades are called custodians, while those with lower qualifications and lower grades are called custodians.

  But the Dujian is not the highest military officer in the local area. Above the Lubingmao Dujian there are the Horse and Infantry Dujian and the Road Branch Soldiers and Horses Dujin, and above the State Soldiers and Horses Dujian there are the State Soldiers and Horses Dujian under their jurisdiction.

  Here, the words "Du Zong Guan" and "Du Jin Ju" are based on seniority. Those with lower qualifications are Du Zong Guan and Du Jin Ju. Those with higher qualifications are Du Zong Guan and Du Jin Ju.
