I am not Song Qinzong

"Don't dare to lie to Your Highness." Song Jiangdao: "We have [-] leaders, big and small, ranked in order of Tiangang Disha, and the junior minister is ranked first, and Lu Junyi, the same as the Tiangang Star Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, is the second member of the head of the Shanzhai General Army...

We have different skills, but we each perform our duties, so things in the cottage are not chaotic and orderly.

Currently, there are more than [-] men, women, old and weak in the village, of which there are [-] young and strong soldiers, all of whom are between eighteen and forty.

Among them, there are [-] sailors, more than [-] large and small ships, [-] cavalry, [-] horses, [-] archers, and [-] crossbowmen.

There are also [-] auxiliary soldiers responsible for logistics and transportation.

The rest of the population are mostly personal family members, and there are more than [-] craftsmen of various colors. "

Zhao Huan nodded and asked, "How about the weapons and armor?"

Song Jiangdao: "At present, there are [-] sets of iron armor and more than [-] leather armors in the village, which can guarantee one set of manpower, [-] sets of iron vests, and [-] sets of leather vests.

Most of our armors are captured from previous battles, and we also made them ourselves, so the shapes and shapes are very different from those of the imperial court.

Because of Tang Long's powerful methods and the capture of supplements, Xiaozhai has no shortage of weapons, which can be guaranteed to be sufficient.

As for all kinds of arrows, there are 100 million in stock. "

"Not bad!" Zhao Huan praised, and then asked, "How much money and grain have you saved?"

"Because there were a lot of seizures in the past, the cottage still had 85 shi of grain.

Because of the continuous purchase of horses, iron ingots, grain, cloth, medicinal materials, etc., the money savings are not much, only more than three million guan, 50 pieces of cloth, and 20 taels of gold and silver each. " Song Jiang replied.

"85 shi, 15 people, the average is less than six shi, if you save some food, you can support it for a year." Zhao Huan sighed.

Song Jiang's expression changed, and he said, "His Royal Highness, it is clear that although Xiaozhai is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is narrow and cannot be produced, and it all depends on external input.

If they are besieged, they will eventually suffer from food shortages.

Therefore, Xiaochen just advocated for peace, thinking that the brothers should find a way out. "

This is the fundamental reason why Song Jiang decided to recruit security!

First of all, in terms of hard power, Liangshan is absolutely unable to resist round after round of encirclement and suppression by the imperial court.

In war, the fight is for population, money and food.

Just think about the gap between Xiaoxiaoliang Mountain and the Yangyang Dynasty, and you can know the outcome.

Even if the imperial army could not attack the main village due to geographical advantages, as long as heavy troops were stationed in Jeju and Yunzhou to cut off Liangshan's access to resources from the outside, sooner or later it would be empty.

A thief is a thief, no matter how he acts for the sky, he is still a thief.

When the food in the cottage is exhausted, can Song Jiang be expected to stick to it like Zhang Xun?

As for being a rogue, you can refer to which one of the rogue masters in the past dynasties finally succeeded.

Therefore, Song Jiang's decision to recruit security is a very practical consideration.

Moreover, there was a proverb in the dynasty, "To be an official, to kill and set fire is to be recruited."

Many civil uprisings and giant bandits in the green forest transformed themselves into high-ranking officials after being recruited.

Moreover, the imperial court is also quite reputable. Although most of them have no real power after the recruitment, they have been thoroughly cleaned up, and they will definitely not settle accounts after the fall.

In this way, after being recruited, you can be an official with peace of mind.

But for Song Jiang, the failure is that he didn't consider things thoroughly enough.

First, Liangshan hero killed Cai Jing's son.

With Cai Taishi's energy, why don't you play Liangshan up and down?

Secondly, Liang Shan defeated Tong Guan and Gao Qi successively.

Gao Qiu is just a little brother, so it doesn't matter, it's really terrible to make Tong Shumi envoy lose face.

Because after the recruitment, the military post was awarded, which was under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.

If you offend your immediate boss, can you still end well?

Perhaps, Song Jiang may also have anticipated the situation after Zhao'an, but he hoped that the Emperor Daojun could protect Liangshan from top to bottom.

It can only be said that Song Jiang is still too naive.

If Zhao Ji is a Mingjun, there is a high probability that he will be able to preserve Liangshan up and down, but... let's not mention it...

This cannot be blamed on Song Jiang.

In the eyes of the people all over the world, the emperor is always good, and the bad ones are treacherous officials. As long as you tell the emperor your grievances, you will be safe and sound.

It can only be said that it is too naive.

However, even if he knew Zhao Ji's virtue, Song Jiang had no choice.

Rebellion must die, but Zhaoan may live.

Even if he is cheated to death and his identity is washed, the descendants will be free, and there may be no posthumous seal.

From a utilitarian point of view, there is no doubt about how to choose.

These thoughts disappeared in the blink of an eye, Zhao Huan looked at Song Jiang, and asked: "Xiang Ri, Tongguan Camp was bombarded by thunder, I don't know if Chief Song has something to say?"

Hearing this, Song Jiang was silent for a moment.

Obviously, he was thinking about how to explain it.

After a while, Song Jiang said: "Don't dare to lie to Your Highness, it's actually not thunder, but gunpowder.

Xiaochen said just now that Hongtianlei Lingzhen was in charge of making large and small cannons, and he was also researching gunpowder at ordinary times.

After simplifying the formula of gunpowder, the power is not weak, and it is indeed a supreme weapon to bombard the camp. "

With that said, Song Jiang took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and continued: "This is the formula and manufacturing method of gunpowder. If there is a need in the East Palace, Ling Zhen can also go to help."

"Good~good~good~"

Zhao Huan laughed heartily and said three good words in succession.

Was it the gunpowder formula that the crown prince admired?What a joke!

Looking around the world, in the manufacture and application of gunpowder, it will take three to five hundred years to be better than Donggong!

What Zhao Huan appreciates is Song Jiang's knowledge of current affairs.
