Chapter seventeen

Several large fire pits were built inside and outside the ancestral hall, and the fire was burned with pine branches inside, and then pine and cypress were racked. There was a large pot beside each fire pit, which contained large pieces of wild boar meat marinated with spices, salt and wine.

Everyone took the needs, skewers of wild boar meat with various tools, and then grilled them on the fire pit until the fat on the wild boar meat melted drop by drop, dripping on the wood, and suddenly bursts of flames rose, resulting in bursts of laughter.

Lu Yongzhi and Lin Junsheng both used bayonets, pierced a piece of meat on the tip of the knife, and waited until the burnt fragrance came out, and a sip of wild boar meat and wine.

"Adong, help me bake two pieces and let Wang Ma send them back."

"Okay." Adong responded happily. Since Lu Yongzhi pulled his brother's life back from the gate of hell, he didn't know how to be grateful. Now, he wishes that he had the opportunity to serve Lu Yongzhi.

"Mr. Lu, according to what you said in the afternoon, how should we grow stronger?"

"Brother Lin, think about it, for so many years, the Qing court has been laying off troops, how many guns have been lost among the people? Besides, not to mention the distance, there are so many bandits in Chongzuo Mansion, a few people can be bandits, and a dozen people are also bandits. They are all wandering around and committing crimes, and the officers and soldiers are disdainful to arrest them, and they cannot catch them."

Lu Yongzhi turned the roasted wild boar meat aside, and dripped the grease and a burnt fragrance slowly emanated.

"Yeah, it makes sense. You are teaching us big fish to eat small fish."

"This is the method, rob one hand and recruit people with the other. Take all the guns from the people. If you have a gun, you are afraid that you will not be able to recruit people. If someone has a gun, you can do it bigger and bigger. This is the same as snowballing."

"It just so happens that most of the brothers are here, so I'll ask everyone for their opinions."

Lin Junsheng picked up the wine bowl and stood up:

"Dear brothers, today I discussed our future prospects with Mr. Lu. I think Mr. Lu is right. We need to go out and cannot be trapped in this small hill forever."

"Then how do we get out?"

"First strengthen your own strength, wait until you have a certain strength, which can attract the attention of the government, and then accept the court's envoy."

However, Lu Yongzhi never expected that the last two words caused a stir. Half of these people were green camp soldiers who were cut off by the court, and they had long been dissatisfied with the court.

"Brother Lin, how could you believe in the imperial army? We have all been in the army. They don't treat us as human beings at all."

"Brother Lin, you have never been in the army. You are a coolie in normal times and cannon fodder in war. How can we be as free and comfortable as we are now?"

Then, the spearhead began to point at Lu Yongzhi again.

"Mr. Lu, you are a scholar who can cure diseases. If you don't understand the military affairs, you can't make random suggestions and harm everyone."

"Mr. Lu, you were not sent by the Qing court to encourage Brother Lin to surrender to the government, right?"

When Guixiang and Adong heard the attack on Lu Yongzhi, they immediately stood up to defend him:

"You don't know why Mr. Lu is? He is unwilling to charge money when he sees a doctor and saves people. He will be a member of the government. What bullshit are you doing?"

"He is buying people's hearts!"

Lu Yong found that he could not argue. He could not say that he understood the "Wuhou Shenqiu" now, and he could calculate that your wealth and honor were all joining the regular army of the court, and then responding to the call of the Tongmenghui to revolt?

They know the future trends, but they have been staying in the poor mountains and know nothing about the general trend of the world.

Although the two brothers of Adong tried their best to defend themselves, the man's words with ulterior motives just now attracted everyone's guess, and even Lin Junsheng began to reexamine him with suspicious eyes.

At a loss, my savior suddenly appeared.

An old man stood up, his surname was Lin, and his seniority was Lin Junsheng's clan uncle, and he was also a revoked Green Camp soldier.

"When it comes to the court's inviting peace, this is absolutely impossible. You have heard of the storytelling and Water Margin. Didn't Song Jiang be determined to attract peace? What happened later? Didn't one hundred and eight brothers die, and even he himself was poisoned by the imperial wine."

"That's a living example. In this way, I also suspect that the Lu surname was sent by the government to recruit us."

I have changed from Mr. Lu's surname to Lu, and I can't stop talking if I don't say anything. Speaking of "Water Margin", can you still be familiar with me? I just can't find the entry point, so I'm sending the shells to me.

Lu Yongzhi stood up, pressed his hands down, and signaled everyone to be quiet. Seeing that everyone was still talking, they stood there and waited quietly for a minute.

This demeanor shocked people first, and no one spoke on the field anymore.

"When it comes to recruitment, the one that impressed us the most is naturally "Water Margin". I can say that if it weren't for "Water Margin", most of us would not know the four words "Guangdong" of the court". Song Jiang is the boss, and Brother Lin is also the boss. Can this boss be compared with the boss?"

When encountering such a chaotic scene, and the situation where the few wins the more, the first thing to do is to attract an Allied army. The most powerful Allied army now is naturally Lin Junsheng.

"The first thing that Song Jiang thought of himself was himself. He often said that he would win his wife and son with one sword and one shot. So after he accepted the amnesty, he obeyed the court's orders everywhere, acted as the court's eagle claws, and dyed his official hat red with the blood of his brothers. Are you, Boss Lin, the same person?"

In "Water Margin", Song Jiang is timid in the court, making him dare not go west when he goes east. This is his fatal injury and is also the place that criticized him the most in later generations.

"Oh, people have to bow their heads under the eaves."

"That's right, but it's wrong for Song Jiang to be foolish and loyal to the court, regardless of the life or death of his brothers. When he beat Fang La, he could obviously use both suppression and appeasement, but he had to obey the court's orders and fight to the death and destroy all his brothers. Will you Brother Lin do such a thing?"

Each argument is first compared with Lin Junsheng, so that everyone cannot refute it.

"On the other hand, Song Jiang is not very focused enough. He can recruit an official position and is afraid that others will die well. Tian Hu and Fang La have so many heroes, he will not join the group. No one else can expect, so why don't he fight with you?"

Everyone started to nod, and this principle was unrefutable. Humph, let me tell you about "Water Margin". You just listen to the storytellers' storytellers. I have watched different versions of TV series twice.

"Fang La's brothers are so good. He refused to accept the recruitment. As a result, he was destroyed. The recruitment itself is correct, but who is wrong is who is the boss? You have worked in the green camp in the past, so why are you bullied? That's because no good boss comes to protect you."

Now when it comes to everyone's pain, the reason why they are bullied is that there is no one above. It is the most convincing thing to say to them that the system is useless and that the change is the most convincing thing to the boss.

"So, we must grow stronger first. The more people we are, the more guns we are, the bigger the official position, the bigger the brothers will be. In the future, it will not be others bullying you, but you don't bully others."

Everyone burst into laughter. The prospect is well depicted, and bullying is always very pleasant.

"Scholars have always spoken nicely since ancient times."

It was Uncle Lin who was talking again. It seemed that this uncle was a complete pessimist.
