Are you crazy?Liangshan bandits became the backbone of the Han people

"In the entire Song Dynasty, I have millions of troops. As long as he dares to come, I will definitely kill him."

This time, Zhao Ji deliberately used my words.

In the court, all the ministers listened to the words.

No one dared to second.

Today's Liangshan can no longer be bullied by just talking about it.

Yang Jian bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Lin Yuan's purpose is not to attack the imperial court, but to force you to become king for him."

Gao Qiu looked at Yang Jian in astonishment, everyone knew about this, so why bother to say it out loud.

Zhao Ji was just incompetent and furious, he slumped on the dragon chair suddenly: "I know it too, but I just can't swallow this breath, do I really want to hand over the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to him?"

"Then Lin Yuan is a rebellious minister and traitor. Once he is given the domain, it will eventually lead to catastrophe."

Yang Jian reminded: "Your Majesty, Uncle Wang analyzed these things for you before."

Hearing Yang Jian's reminder to himself, Zhao Ji was stunned.

Yup!

Although the Yanyun Sixteen States are a perfect line of defense against the north for the Song Dynasty.

But at the same time, it must also bear the pincer attacks of the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom.

･･･ Ask for flowers ･･･

Coupled with the fact that the Song Dynasty was behind, Lin Yuan would not be able to please him after he became king.

He felt a little relieved after thinking about it: "In that case, let's wait until Lin Yuan comes."

"Besides, even if you become a king, it still belongs to my subjects. Why are you afraid of him?"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall could not help but sigh.

As long as you don't fight, you can do anything.

……

at the same time.

Lin Yuan led his troops all the way to Bianliang City.

He didn't go to fight this time, so the whole army packed lightly and set off with only a few days of dry food.

Moreover, Lin Yuan did not intend to return to Liangshan this time.

Now that Liangshan's affairs are on the right track, it doesn't matter whether he, the head of the family, is there or not.

But the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are waiting to be rejuvenated, and it is the time when he is needed to sit in charge.

........... 0

So Lin Yuan had to hurry back.

Along the way, he thought about a lot of ideas about governing the Sixteen States of Yanyun, after talking with Wu Yong before.

The latter has wisdom, and it is okay to govern Liangshan.

But when it comes to the future of millions of people, sometimes Wu Yong doesn't have a good idea.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan called Wu Yong over: "You take care of me in the army, I will go ahead and go to Bianliang City."

Wu Yong shook his head when he heard the words: "Master Hou, it's not like before, how can you do it alone in danger?"

Lin Yuan said solemnly: "It's okay, I will bring Shi Bao, Lin Chong and others, and ordinary people can't hurt me."

Wu Yong saw that he had already decided.

No more words.

Soon, several horses galloped out from the army.

Lin Yuan took Shi Bao, Lin Chong, Wang Yin and Yue Fei all the way to Bianliang City.

a day.

The few people didn't rest for a while, and finally arrived when night fell.

The first thing Lin Yuan did when he entered Bianliang City was to find the prison where Zhang Shuye was being held through the Intelligence Department.

In the prison of the Song Dynasty, after Lin Yuan made connections and gave the prison leader a bag of money, it was like the back garden of his own home.

"My lord, you must hurry up, it's time for the changing of the guard soon."

After bringing Lin Yuan into the cell with a flattering face, the prison chief said respectfully.

"Well, then go and guard the door!" Lin Yuan said casually.

"okay!"

After the cell boss left, Lin Yuan walked forward at a leisurely pace.

He had already received news that Zhang Shuye was being held in the innermost place.

From a distance, Lin Yuan saw Zhang Shuye sitting quietly in the prison cell, with some wine, meat and meals in front of him, as if he had long expected his arrival.

"Marquis of Liangshan, you are indeed here!" Qian.

Chapter 401 Uncle Zhang's Return

Inside the cell.Lin Yuan and Zhang Shuye sat opposite each other.

The two ate with relish the food and drink in front of them.

The two talked casually like old friends.

After a while, after drinking and eating.

Lin Yuan wiped the corner of his mouth, and slowly got down to business: "Master Zhang, you and I have also known each other for more than a year, and you know what I think. Why do you have to struggle so hard in the court of Song Dynasty again?"

"You have retribution, you have ideas, and you are dedicated to the sake of the people. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has decayed to the root, do you still have a need to stay?"

"Your talented revenge is beyond the reach of the Song Dynasty."

"The building will collapse!"

"Support the mad tide!"

"Your idea is good, but now that the country is dying, it's useless!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shuye frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Lin Yuan said again: "The "[-]" head I gave you before Wanyan Agu was for you to save your life, but what about now?"

"I'm afraid you were arrested by Zhao Ji's troops as soon as you returned to Bianliang City?"

Zhang Shuye's expression was suffocated, this was the greatest pain in his heart.

He thinks that he has worked hard for the Song Dynasty all his life, and that he has a clean sleeve as an official, and he dare not be greedy for ink.

Leading the army out for half a month, eating and sleeping with the soldiers outside, I have never suffered anything.

However, that's it.

Back in Bianliang City, he couldn't help asking the crime.

Zhang Shuye also felt completely chilled from that day on.

Seeing that his eyes were red, Lin Yuan stood up and patted Zhang Shuye on the shoulder.

Then he walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Shuye's nose twitched, and he sighed: "To be honest, I never thought of using Yan Agu's head to save my life or to be greedy for merit. It's just that Zhao Ji really let me down this time."

Lin Yuan said: "You still have illusions about that stupid emperor, that's why you have fallen to such a point."

Zhang Shuye gave a nasal 'hmm' in disbelief, and changed the subject: "Lin Yuan, to be honest, I didn't like you from the beginning to the end."

"Even now, your Liangshan army is unparalleled in combat power, but I still don't think you can be a good king."

"So, even if I am full of disappointment with Da Song, I am not willing to assist you."

"You know, it's easier to conquer the country than it is to defend the country."

"I don't need to say more about how you started in Liangshan. It was nothing more than robbing other bandits and cults everywhere. But now that Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have been taken down by you, although the emperor has not yet issued an order, you have long regarded it as your own. Let’s operate the chassis.”

"The basic necessities of the people, the gentry merchants in the territory, and the management of various states and counties are not a simple matter."

"If you are not careful, you are likely to bring countless sufferings to the people."

Lin Yuan said with a chuckle: "Uncle Zhang, didn't I say yes before, I didn't have the intention of opposing the Song Dynasty, what I did was just to let the people live a better life."

"Why did you say that I always think that I want to destroy Song Dynasty and become the emperor myself!"

"Besides, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Whether I have the ability to govern one side, you will know when you go to Yanzhou to see."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuye twitched the corner of his mouth.

Lin Yuan did not have the intention of treason, but everyone in the court thought he had the intention of treason for what he did.

The one in the palace is probably on guard against him day and night.

Lin Yuan continued: "Now, when Yanzhou is ushering in a change, I came this time not only by myself, but also with [-] Liangshan troops. Tomorrow I will perform martial arts against Zhao Ji outside Bianliang City."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuye widened his eyes and said, "There are millions of troops in Bianliang City, aren't you afraid that the emperor will send troops to attack you?"

Lin Yuan laughed out loud when he heard this.

"afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?"

"You think my intelligence office on Mount Liang is a vegetarian? I sent them to spread the news long ago."

"You have no news in the prison, but you don't know that all the people outside know that I want to perform martial arts for Zhao Ji."

"Besides, I am an unprecedented "hero" in the Song Dynasty for recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. If Zhao Ji is not afraid of the turmoil of the people and the rebellion of the world, he can send troops to try it?"

Zhang Shuye took a deep breath, and said sadly: "Lin Yuan, you are so cruel, Zhao Ji must be mad at you to death."

Lin Yuan chuckled, and said triumphantly: "What is this? It's not like you did this to him once or twice. From sinning yourself to being forced to make me a Marquis of Liangshan, he was so angry that he was half dead every time!"

Zhang Shuye resentfully remained silent.

Since Lin Yuan's rise, Zhao Ji has never taken advantage of him.

If the emperor treats him like this, there is no one else.

Zhang Shuye thought for a while, so he agreed: "In fact, martial arts is also fine. After all, for the common people, who doesn't want the soldiers in their country to be extremely tyrannical. Although you and the court have been opposing each other, in fact, ninety percent of the people in the Song Dynasty didn't know this. What happened..."

"In their eyes, you are still a courtier of the Song Dynasty. No matter whether you were a Marquis of Liangshan before or you are going to be king now, in fact, they have a strong sense of belonging to the Song Dynasty."

The topic comes to the point.

Lin Yuan was a little excited, and he spoke repeatedly.

"So, I must have my own domain and gain autonomy."

"Otherwise, we will never be able to solve the problem of Song Dynasty fundamentally. The system of Song Dynasty is too corrupt."

"Some time ago, I started to ask my subordinates to conduct a census, and in the later stage, every citizen will be provided with an ID card."

"Then I will remove the hereditary succession of officials, and from now on, those who are capable will prevail."

"In the future, inspection departments will be set up in each state to deal with corruption."

"We need to improve the laws. Some laws that are harsh or obviously protect the gentry are all abolished."

"We also need to build an academy, not only to teach them knowledge, but also to teach other technologies, such as medical skills and so on."

……

Lin Yuan talked for a long time.

Zhang Shuye looked at him in bewilderment, so many regulations governing one party came from Lin Yuan's mouth.

This is incredible.

However, many of these ideas are shocking to heaven and man, and after careful consideration, they are extremely reasonable.

Like a piece of wood, he stood beside him blankly, nodding while listening, his face was sometimes enlightened and sometimes puzzled.

Lin Yuan chatted freely for a long time until his mouth was dry.
