Water Margin Survival

Chapter 367 Are you willing to let them trust you?

In the next few days, Qiu Qian, who was so humble and dared not forget to worry about the country, was in inner torment all the time. The resentment and suspicion accumulated for a long time gradually fermented, and the boat was full of people like Ruan Xiaoqi and Xie Bao. The rough and burly guy made Qiu Qian feel that there was not even a single person around him who could talk to him. .

Even if Wang Lun, the enemy, is in front of him.

After countless times of looking around in a daze, this thought suddenly popped up in Qiu Qian's mind.This kind of day that is more and more confusing but unable to vent the emotions in my heart is really too difficult.

Although Wang Lun is the enemy, he still has the true qualities of a scholar. Although he is completely different from him, at least a few words can be said to be consistent.Compared with other pure green forest bandits, even though Qiu Qian is extremely wary of him, it is difficult to conceal the natural closeness in his heart to this person who has the same background as himself.

I really want to ask this person what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

This man was not idle along the way, and he even fought a battle with the Fanren. Relying on these strong ships and crossbows that were said to have been plundered from the Dengzhou Navy, he defeated the Fanren's fleet like a lion fighting a rabbit. If you lose a lot, you will never dare to show up along the way.

Qiu Xian was born in a large coastal county, so he was no stranger to the sea, but this was his first experience in naval battles.He is a caring person, and he would not miss this rare encounter, so during the battle, Qiu Qian strongly demanded and even threatened his life to go to the deck to watch the battle.In Ruan Xiaoqi's heart, he didn't want him to show his face, not for anything else, but he was afraid that Liu Ya would hurt him, and it would be difficult to explain to Wang Lun. Xiao Qi didn't want to be troublesome, so he brought him with him, so Qiu Qian witnessed the whole process of the naval battle.

What impressed him the most during this short one-hour naval battle was not the strength of the Song Dynasty ships, the variety of attack methods, or the fearlessness of life and death in the Liang Shanshui Army, but a way of communication in the vast sea , I heard what the semaphore is called.

It was this kind of semaphore that directly caused the Fanren who started the battle to see each other's tricks suffer a lot.The Liangshan Army, on the other hand, was able to rely on these flags of different colors to command consistently and handily, divide and attack the enemy ships with superior forces, and finally won the victory of this naval battle.If it weren't for the fact that they came here with a full load this time, I'm afraid the battle of defeat would turn into a battle of annihilation, and the Liangshan Army would definitely expand the results of the battle.

This sea battle also made Qiu Qian's understanding of Wang Lun a step further. No wonder Liang Shanbo dared to attack the capital of the Song Dynasty with confidence, and he really had his confidence.This group of people is not only powerful in the horse infantry, but even the navy is sharpened in naval battles. With the natural barrier of the eight hundred miles of water, it is like a tiger with wings for this group of people. For the Forbidden Army, it really became a tiger biting a hedgehog, and it was difficult to bite.Even though the imperial court had a hundred-fighting western army in hand, when it comes to water warfare, it has to make people feel overwhelmed.

A gust of sea breeze blew Qiu Xian's beard and hair a little messy, just like his state of mind at this time, he subconsciously felt that he might lose to Wang Lun this time.

Undoubtedly, Qiu Xian can be said to have seen very early on that Wang Lunqi's aspirations were not small. Just because he gathered heroes on Liangshanbo and bought people's hearts, he had the ambition to become king by cracking the soil, but the land of Jingdong is on the side of the capital. , what can be done?Even though the court and officials are all traitors, it is impossible to stand by and watch him openly occupy the state capital. Only because of this, Qiu Xian scorned Wang Lun in his heart, and he was the one who didn't want to be turned into a laughing stock.

At this time, I am afraid that I am in the Koryo sea area?Since he entered the sea, he has struggled to find the direction. At first, the fleet headed towards the place where the sun was rising, but after two days, it changed its course to the south again, which made him heave a sigh of relief, at least he could eliminate the Liao Kingdom.The fleet that was killed and defeated was probably the Korean Navy. Judging from the situation, seven out of ten of the two sides were hostile, and there was no assumption that Liang Shanbo would seek refuge in Korea.

That's right, how can a white-clothed scholar who can roam freely in the Great Song Dynasty seek refuge in a small overseas country?His vision will not be lowered to that extent.

On the contrary, the person with low vision is himself. Who knows how this person's mind was born, but he actually thought of setting up a new stove overseas and opening up new territory. The tiger and the hozen are kings, no matter Song and Liao, they are beyond his reach.With such a superior environment, someone like Ruan Xiaoqi might be able to succeed, let alone someone like Wang Lun.

No wonder he has the confidence to promise a future to everyone who follows him, no wonder everyone in this cottage believes in him, no one is enough to reject a person who gives him hope, and Wang Lun is the one who gave to all the generals under his command and threw himself into the mountains. The people the people want.

Qiu Xian gave a wry smile, all kinds of feelings came to his heart.

At this time, Qiu Xian no longer doubted whether Wang Lun's promise of the hundred acres of land distributed to the people would be fulfilled. As a person with great ambitions to do great things, he would certainly not allow his reputation to be damaged.At this moment, Qiu Xian can no longer think about other things, and now he is deeply understanding what it means to be in a cocoon.The bet that he left at the Daming Mansion back then became a rope that bound him, strangling him until he couldn't breathe.

"I want to see Wang Lun, now!" Qiu Qian turned around and said to the two Liangshan leaders who "guarded" him.

The two looked at each other, they didn't seem surprised, one of them turned around and left the cabin, after a while Ruan Xiaoqi appeared in front of Qiu Xian with a playful smile on his face, didn't say much, just called a capable man , commanded: "Put down the boat, take Qiu Xiancheng to meet brother Li Jun by boat, don't make any mistakes!"

Seeing that the small school said that he took the order loudly, he turned around and arranged to go. Seeing this, Qiu Qian also wanted to go with him. He didn't want to be stopped by Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly. He uttered a sentence: "It's over, don't come back! I hope that when we meet next time, I can call you brother Qiu!"

Qiu stared at Ruan Xiaoqi for a while, but before saying a word, he suddenly turned his head and walked away.Ruan Xiaoqi smirked, and issued an order to the flag bearer: "Notify Hun Hailong's boat that a big man is coming towards him!"

……

"I lost!" Looking at the scholar who came out to greet him, Qiu Qian said calmly, but suddenly asked again: "You don't seem surprised that I came here at this time?"

"I have heard for a long time that your Excellency is an honest gentleman, and sooner or later you will have an explanation for the original bet, so I have been waiting for you here, why should I be surprised? But I really didn't expect you to come so fast, and you never even got off the boat , you guessed the result!"

After all, he is a legendary figure in the history books. Wang Lun couldn't help but secretly praised him for being able to guess the beginning and end of the matter so quickly. Chao Qiuxian made a gesture of invitation, and the two walked to the edge of the deck, with the sun above their heads and the sea breeze blowing , hit the front of the machine.

"I count the heavens and the earth, but I didn't expect you to have such a move!" Qiu Qian was no longer deep at this time, but just told the whole story that he had been holding in his heart these days, "You made such a big noise in Jingdong, You lied to everyone in the world, but you didn't want to, but you shot a feint, your sword swayed, and you ran to this barren land to live your king's addiction!"

Wang Lunjian smiled and didn't bother him with this question. He just said with emotion: "During the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, what was the area where our Chinese ancestors were active? The barren land at that time is as densely populated as it is now, and there is no shortage of fish and rice. Dazhou Xianjun! How can you assert that after thousands of years, the land where I, Wang Lun, moved to the people of the Song Dynasty will not become a treasure land for our Han people to reproduce?"

Qiu was stunned when he heard the words, lowered his head and began to meditate. Suddenly, Wang Lun said again: "I have billions of people in the Song Dynasty, how many people have no land, no land, and no one to rely on? Qiu Xiancheng is an official close to the people, and he should know more about it than I do. If I, Wang Lun, have the power to move tens of millions of people out of the sparsely populated Central Plains, and give them a chance to get rid of starvation and starvation, am I doing something wrong?"

Qiu's frown became tighter and tighter. Wang Lun's words made him indisputable. As Wang Lun said, he is a grassroots official close to the people, and he has the most intuitive feeling for the severe polarization between rich and poor in this rich empire. , Wang Lun's approach undoubtedly gave these people a chance to change their lives. This even made him secretly praise it in his heart, but the habits of education he had received over the years made it impossible for him to open his mouth to praise him. : "You attack the state and break the mansion, and you gather to roar in the water, and you will eventually be the great thief of the country!"

"Liang Zhongshu and Wang Wancang, as herdsmen officials of the imperial court, are dedicated to harming the people. Although they have not attacked the state and destroyed the mansion, they are moths wearing official clothes, and they are dedicated to corroding the foundation of the imperial court! Such people, look around Go, there are everywhere in the world, isn't it more suitable for you than me?" Wang Lun shook his head and said.

"The moth is under the care of the officials, so what does it have to do with you?" Qiu Qian stared.

"The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world!" Wang Lun shouted, but did not give way.For a person like Huizong of Song Dynasty who occupies the latrine and does not shit, Wang Lun has no affection for him. This person is smart in every way, but he is unwilling to spend a little effort on the future of this country and this nation.If it weren't for the fact that the Jin soldiers would go south in a few years, and Wang Lun didn't want to fight the Song Dynasty to the death, so that the female straight people could reap the benefits, so why would it take so much effort to expand overseas?

Qiu Wenyan let out a long sigh, was speechless for a long time, and finally said after a while: "The betting agreement has been agreed that day, the loser must listen to persuasion, what do you want to persuade me? Tell me to fall into the grass?"

Wang Lun saw that he took the initiative to bring up this topic, so he didn't evade immediately. He waved his finger and said to the fleet behind him: "This time, there are 5 people who came with me, and there are [-] or [-] people in the village. Including the people who immigrated before, the total number is no less than [-], and these people must be led by an official close to the people." Seeing Qiu Xian's expression becoming more and more disapproving, Wang Lun shook his head and smiled, and continued:

"You also know that there is no shortage of heroes in my village. If you ask them to lead the army and fight to the death, they are all the same. But if you ask them to educate the people, hear lawsuits and judge cases, persuade the people to farm and mulberry, and provide disaster relief, it is a bit difficult for others. But I really don't have a more suitable candidate than you. If you don't, I can only settle for the next best thing and choose another rookie to fight. But in this way, the people who suffer will always be the common people. As the saying goes: Whether the shoes fit or not, only the feet know! So this time I am not dragging you down, but choosing a trustworthy official for the people!"

"Are you willing to let them trust you?"

I was finally discharged from the hospital. Although the doctor said that it will take two months to fully recover, the book will be updated from today. Thanks to the heroes for their support and encouragement during this time, Xiao Ke hereby expresses his deep gratitude! ! (To be continued.)
