back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 262

In the quiet night, the waves rippled in the water.

The breeze blows, and the reeds sway with the wind.

It's just that this kind of scenery is not a novelty for those who are used to living in the water.Perhaps only those who have never seen the lake will sigh.Well, including literati and poets.

Under the foot of Liangshan Mountain, it extends all the way to the water.A tall water village stands along the bank. Compared with the shabby Dashun navy, the water thieves are more like regular sailors.

Outside the water stronghold, warships lined up and flags were flying.Roughly counting, there are not less than [-] tall warships, and the rest of the small boats are like schools of fish in the water, densely docked farther away.

The sentry tower near the gate of the Shuizhai village is also built on the mountain, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack.Even at night, the shouting and cursing coming from the water village can be faintly heard more than ten miles away, which shows how many water thieves gathered on Liangshan Mountain.

It's no wonder that Dashun's style of martial arts is prevalent. Although the court emphasizes literature and suppresses martial arts, the folk knights are very popular.This is true even in the Northern Song Dynasty in official history.After the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, most people in the Northern Song Dynasty were proud of practicing martial arts.Otherwise, in troubled times, without the power to protect yourself, it would be very dangerous.It is rumored that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts is also very high, and he once passed down Taizu Changquan.

The situation in Dashun is different, because the previous dynasty was founded by Hu people. Although it has been sinicized, the concept of respecting martial arts is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.The reason why Dashun respected literature and suppressed martial arts was just to eliminate the influence of the previous dynasty and win over people's hearts.But the consequence of overcorrecting is that just over fifty years after the founding of the country, foreigners were bullied at their doorstep.It would be impossible for the former dynasty to do it. The Central Plains dynasty would not bully others, but how could it allow barbarians to run rampant?
The next fifty years or so were just a process of stabilizing people's hearts, trying to eliminate the influence of the previous dynasty.This also made the imperial examination more popular, and Enke was held almost every two years. In contrast, it was difficult for warriors to get ahead.

But martial arts is prevalent among the people, and the "knights" have no future, and they are unwilling to farm the land. Is there a better way out besides taking over the mountains and becoming king?

To join the army?You are nothing but cannon fodder. On the battlefield where the arrows are flying, you will die if you don't pay attention.It's not as good as drinking in a big bowl, eating a big piece of meat, and claiming the pride of sharing the money!

Why are there so many scissors and thieves in Dashun?The roots are here!Suppressing bandits is not the goal, but propaganda politics is the goal.Lu Chengqi had already figured out the minds of Dashun warriors. With the Supervision Department, there were very few things in Dashun that Lu Chengqi wanted to know but couldn't.

Wars are not fought on a whim, but served for political significance.If there is a famous general that Lu Chengqi regrets the most, it is Yue Fei.He is very capable, but he does not understand politics.He wholeheartedly attacked the Kingdom of Jin, and the Kingdom of Jin was indeed defeated steadily by him, only one step away from recovering the country.However, what he was thinking in his heart was to welcome back the two emperors Song Huizong and Song Qinzong. Where would this put Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty?After the second emperor came back, were they the emperor, or was Zhao Gou the emperor?

Yue Fei is a warrior, how can he understand the reason?Serving the country with loyalty and loyalty, he did it, but unfortunately he was not recognized by the Tian family.Qin Hui just took the blame for Zhao Gou. It was not Qin Hui who really wanted to kill Yue Fei, but Zhao Gou.Without Zhao Gou's acquiescence, could Qin Hui win thirteen gold medals in a row?
The truth of history is always covered up, and only after empathizing with it can one guess or two.Lu Chengqi's suppression of the bandits this time was also for his political purpose.One is to eliminate bandits, this is true, and it is also for the sake of the people.The second is to clear the trade roads, so that the business can develop better.Thirdly, no one would have guessed that this was a trap set by Lu Chengqi for the sake of Daxing Navy.

Why was Lu Chenhuan sent by Lu Chengqi a secret decree to hunt down water thieves in the water pond of Dongping Mansion on Shandong Road just after he pacified the Wang family in Taiyuan?Knowing that the imperial guards are all infantry, and sending them to hunt water thieves, isn't this using their own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths!
Could Lu Chengqi be so ignorant?

Of course not, of course Fatty Lu felt that this was not feasible, and then made a memorial, saying that he would send a navy to encircle and suppress him, but he couldn't do it himself.In that case, Lu Chengqi can take advantage of the problem and make great use of the navy.

Even if Fatty Lu didn't submit the memorial, Lu Chengqi could still "present the facts and reason", exaggerate the strength of the pirates, and silence the civil servants, then he would be able to achieve his goal.Lu Chengqi also learned this trick from the later generations of the United States. Don't they always talk about **** and ask for an increase in military spending?Unlike the United States, which wants money through the Congress, what Lu Chengqi has to do is to gag the civil servants.

These civil servants are too good at taking advantage of the topic, so maybe Lu Chengqi has to follow suit.

At this time, in Liang Shanshui Village, someone has already occupied the mountain as the king. In "Water Margin", Chao Gai also replaced Wang Lun and became the master of Liangshan.Since Liangshanshuipo was established, water thieves have been prevalent.Because of the dangerous terrain of Liangshan, with water in front and mountains behind, Liangshan's mountain road is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But now the one occupying Liangshan is called the Flying Fish Gang, the leader of the gang is called Fan Jianglong, and his original name was You Jun.It is rumored that this person can hold his breath in the water for less than half an hour, and his water skills are excellent, which is why he has the nickname of "Tianjianglong".

At this moment, Fan Jianglong quietly listened to the reports of his subordinates. He heard that nearly [-] forbidden troops came to crusade. When there were no warships, he snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Dashun is exhausted if he thinks about it. Want to attack me without a boat? This little emperor is just a fool, I don’t have a boat, why should I be afraid of him!”

There are also high-level people in this group of water thieves, or the previous village owner was a high-level person. The plaque on this hall reads "Juyi Hall".You Jun sat on the first chair in the middle of the Juyi Hall, put one foot up, and showed his arrogance.More than [-] bright candlesticks illuminate the Juyi Hall brightly.You Jun, who was sitting at the highest position, could see the expressions of everyone in the hall clearly at a glance.

The minion in front of him told you all about the movements of the officers and soldiers over the past few days, which made You Jun sneer endlessly.As a pirate leader, You Jun knew the importance of warships on the water.Without a boat, no amount of people will help.If the officers and soldiers wanted to come and suppress them, they would just dive into the water.Anyway, the officers and soldiers have no boats, so where can we fight them!

Before Shuibo was twisted into a force, it was able to counter the Dashun navy.At this moment, the Flying Fish Gang is very powerful, with more than 5000 followers, more than [-] warships and countless small boats.Knives, guns, bows and crossbows, everything.Grain and grass can last for half a year. Even if the food is cut off, you can still fish for a living. What's the big deal!

You Jun didn't have the confidence to face the Forbidden Army head-on on land, but in the water, You Jun was not afraid.A forbidden army without a boat is a tiger without teeth, which is just a bit scary, but it can't bite people.

As soon as You Jun said these words, the water thief leaders sitting on the chairs below also laughed.Don't be afraid of the officers and soldiers, this is the foundation for the water bandits to grow.During the Yuanshou period, the navy came to suppress them, didn't it mean they were beaten away in despair?This time the Forbidden Army came again, presumably the result would be the same.
