    In history, the Salman Islands have never been as lively as they are now.

    Can it not be lively?

    With a mere fifty square kilometers of land area, it suddenly supports a population base of nearly three million. The density is several times higher than Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, the most prosperous city in the Song Dynasty. It can't be deserted even if it wants to.

    If you can overlook the islands from mid-air at this time, you will be surprised to find that the flat land on the dozen or so large islands protruding from the sea level are completely covered by flowers of various colors that seem to bloom suddenly overnight.

    "After all, the battles in the Chinese and foreign capitals were not in vain. This is a concrete manifestation of Liangshan Bo's deep family background.  After all, no matter how well-stocked the military marching tent in Liangshan is, it will not be able to withstand the record-high influx of people who surrendered.  As a result, the massive amounts of ballast curtains seized in Liangshan over the years were all oiled, greased and deeply processed by the hundreds of thousands of Korean female workers under Houjian Houjian, and they became the first choice for the immigrants from the Song Dynasty who brought their families with them.  A solid barrier to keep out wind and rain.

    Fortunately, it is early summer now, and the weather is not as bad as in late winter.  Although it looks crude under the oilcloth, it can still be dealt with.  What's more, Liangshanbo's immigration transfer plan is in steady progress. Except for the five fleets guarding Liangshan Island (the Zhang Shun Department of the Fourth Water Army and the Ou Peng Department of the Fifth Water Army) and the Japanese fleet (the troops of the three Ruan clans), Wang Lun will  The remaining troops of Li Jun, Fei Bao, Hu Yanqing, Cheng Gui, and Weizhao De were all gathered together to evacuate the people from Salmon Island.

    These five fleets together firmly accounted for half of Liang Shanshui's army.  In total, there are more than 140 sea-going ships with a capacity of more than 1,000 tons, with a transport capacity of about 170,000 to 80,000 tons.  Now we are working in two shifts (one when leaving the island, the other to protect the island), and we are not wasting a moment traveling through the Yellow Sea.

    The huge fleet of ships, connected end to end and running continuously for ten miles, directly lit up the hopes of the people staying on the island, and the sincerity shown by Liang Shanbo in the details was enough to make the people full of confidence in the future.  Some good people have privately estimated that, not to mention the sky-high price of fabrics made into tents, the food consumed on the islands today alone is no less than 50,000 dan.  But Liangshan did not see that he changed the dry food in the people's bowls into thin food.

    See a big place.  Whoever in this world is willing to pay attention to the people will naturally feel it.  This is not a pretense at all, it can be compared with a few cheap words of compassion.  Therefore, despite the fact that there are nearly three million people on the islands at this time, Liang Shanbo does not need to expend much extra energy to maintain order.  on the contrary.  Since the common people elected their respective village chiefs in units of one hundred households, the organized common people can also actively and effectively assist the Liangshan garrison and carry out various tasks within their capabilities.

    "The third son of the Gao family, come on, come on! Take people to inform the village leaders that a ship is coming to Dazhai. Tell them to organize strong men to go to the dock to unload the goods!"

    Xu Jing, a native of Mizhou, stood in the area he was responsible for and shouted loudly. He was born as a tenant farmer, had been an apprentice and a hired worker, had seen the world, and knew the imperial court.  He can be regarded as one of the many characters who were brought out by Liang Shanbo's wave of sweeping Jingdong.  At that time, Xu Jing, the old Jiedushi envoy, led his troops to force Mizhou to surrender. After receiving the news, he launched a banner in the countryside to defect to Liangshan, attracting more than 10,000 people like a snowball. After taking advantage of the situation to break through the local county, he began to actively contact Xu Jing.  .  at last.  Xu Jing was entrusted with an important task by Liang Shanbo and was fully responsible for the affairs of the people of Mizhou Toushan.

    "Are you going to bring water from Fanbang's river to eat again?" The man called Gao Laosan said one more thing at this time.

    "What is Fanbang?" Xu Jing was unhappy and corrected: "Now we, Liangshanbo, are the masters of that area, how come it is still Fanbang that you are talking about?"

    "Don't you mean you're used to it! Brother Xu, don't mind, don't mind!" Gao Laosan went away with a smile, but he was suddenly stopped by Xu Jing, "Didn't the father of Li Wen's son of a bitch see the doctor yesterday?"  Are you okay? A royal doctor is here at the free clinic today. You should ask Er Gouzi to get in line early! The doctor who can treat Hunjun is a bit of a loser!"

    Not only was he a little overweight, Gao Laosan heard that it was the legendary imperial doctor who came to give a free consultation.  He said hurriedly: "My master happened to have some diarrhea in the past two days, so I have to queue up and ask!"

    "You still need to see the imperial doctor even if you have diarrhea? I think you are really free. They specialize in treating difficult and complicated diseases, so you are delaying their seriously ill patients. Are you afraid that you will not be embarrassed by the people of Michigan?"

    Xu Jing's words made Gao Laosan laugh. Xu Jing waved him away and prepared to go to various resettlement sites under his command to see what other problems needed to be solved urgently.  Xu Jing knew clearly that he could not cause chaos to the Liangshan army at this time.  If the trivial matter of immigration delayed the army's counterattack, then he would be a sinner.

    But before he took two steps, he suddenly heard someone calling his name not far away. Xu Jing looked back and couldn't help but smile.  It turns out that the person looking for him is another character: Yun ?What is the word prestige for a person?  This person had a similar "originality" to him, and he also attracted a group of people from his hometown to defect to Liangshan.  But I can't compare with others, and I don't know if it's because Yunzhou is too close to Liangshan and has been deeply influenced by Liangshan for a long time. When this person met Liangshan, there were actually 40,000 to 50,000 people gathered around him.  The most arrogant among the rebel leaders who defected to Liangshan.

    "Old Xu, let's go! The military advisor asked us to listen to Xuanli! Brother Wang Lun has a message for us!" He Ziwei shouted loudly from a long distance away. Listening to the sound, Duan is a man who lives up to his name.  .

    Sure enough, when the people around the trail saw this, they all looked at He and Xu with admiration and awe. Even the children playing in the gaps between the tents subconsciously stopped what they were doing.

    Only the two soldiers responsible for He Ziwei's security looked at each other helplessly.  It is said that this person is a leader of the rebel army, he has a carefree personality, and it is understandable that he does not stick to trivial matters.  But at least you are a bit subtle in your roughness. Not only did you directly leak the secrets of the cottage in public, but you even showed your assassination value to the lurking assassins. How do you think this is supposed to protect them?

    Xu Jing's personal bodyguards also looked at He Ziwei as if they were looking at something strange, and then scanned the surrounding crowd with vigilant eyes, fearing that the person they were protecting would be implicated for no reason.  Fortunately, Liangshan Fumin had experience long ago. Folks from the countryside were grouped together, and those from single households who came to vote were also gathered together. This fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the people. Generally, any suspicious person would not escape the eyes of the people around him.

    Therefore, from the time Liangshanbo accepted the first family of people who took refuge, until now, there has never been an assassination incident.

    ¡°Obviously God is not going to ask Liang Shan to make this exception on the Salmon Islands. Just when the two pairs of soldiers are facing a powerful enemy, a group of patrolling militiamen happen to pass by this place, instantly diverting the attention of the onlookers.  The four relieved people protected the two important figures and left the scene amidst the proud shouts of "That's my brother! That's my son!" from the people.

    "We have just settled down, and many militiamen have been organized. The higher-ups should be planning for a counterattack!" He Ziwei looked away from the militiamen and suddenly felt something.

    He Ziwei seemed to have some unclear relationship with Liangshan in the past, so Xu Jing did not dare to look down on this person, so he said: "Brother He, there are so many field troops in Liangshan, what use can these militiamen do? Besides, he said  Having said that, the official troops who have followed us along the way to the island, including the imperial army, Xiang army, rural soldiers, and native soldiers, are probably not 100,000 in total? If you want to employ people, just reorganize these people.  Are they going to call in additional militiamen to make up the numbers?"

    "We soldiers in Liangshan don't need to pay military salaries. How many people can we recruit? My brother Wang Lun is like a star in the sky. Problems that the court cannot solve will not be a problem when we come to Liangshan!" He Ziwei  smiled.

    "The imperial court doesn't want to pay, but the key is that it can't get the land! It's the place where the Sixth Road of Shaanxi and the Xia thieves are fighting. I heard that the land there is cheaper. If we conquer it today, we will divide it tomorrow.  Well, it seems that the Western Army is powerful for a reason!" Although Xu Jing's ability to attract people is not very impressive, he is much better than the other party in terms of knowledge. He can follow the other party's casual remarks.  play.

    "You're right, our brothers have plenty of land, so why worry about having many soldiers! Now that Liao'erwa is still surrounded by the imperial court, how can I just sit back and watch as my brother has so little loyalty? According to me, this battle will be fought sooner or later. Now we can take advantage of the opportunity.  Let's recruit more militiamen. Even if we don't send them into battle in the future, they can still be used to guard the city at the rear! Brother Wang Lun is a scholar, what does he like most By the way, it's called preparing for a rainy day! What's more, the court even bullied us into coming!  Well, if this battle doesn¡¯t devour his 400,000-strong army, I won¡¯t believe it!¡±

    He Ziwei acted as if he knew Wang Lun very well. Seeing that Xu Jing was listening attentively, he added: "Brother, do you know that Tong Guan has left? Now the emperor has handed over the war in Jingdong to a common man named Liu Zhongwu.  , I heard they were also from the Western Army!¡±

    "Western Army, hum! I only know Mr. Laozhong Jinglue and Mr. Xiaozhong Jinglue. Who do you think Liu Zhongwu is? After doing this for a long time, he is actually just a flatterer who has a fierce fight with Gao Qiu!"

    Xu Jing really didn¡¯t know about the news about the replacement of the imperial coach. It seemed that this was a sign that He Ziwei had more connections than he did.  But Xu Jing was not discouraged. After all, the road was made step by step.  Others have laid a good foundation before going up the mountain, so what should I envy?

    Just analyzing the news brought by He Ziwei, it seems that Liang Shanbo's strategy of underestimating the enemy has really worked. Now that he has replaced a local army general whose qualifications and prestige are far inferior to Tong Guan, these two to three hundred thousand Tian Huchu obtained  Can he command the troops to surrender?

    Furthermore, the imperial court initially marched into Jingdong with an army of 400,000, but now, how many percent of its mobile troops are left?  More than ten or twenty states and cities needFor defense, the 800-mile Liangshanshuibo needs to be fortified, and more than 80 county towns must also be taken into consideration. Liangshanbo's conspiracy to divide the enemy's military strength has been successful again!

    The end is awesome!  I have long heard that Wang Lun of Liangshan is the best at making decisions before taking action. Now it seems that it is indeed not just a rumor.  Suddenly, Xu Jing had a strong premonition: maybe it won't be long before he can return to his hometown and lead his fellow villagers to fight against the tyranny of the imperial court on the battlefield!  (.)
