Chapter 104: Mobilize the whole country
Zheng Zhi grabbed the dead body of Deng Long, and then used Deng Long's spear to go straight from top to bottom, through Deng Long's clothes, and then pierced the spear head into the ground, and actually stood Deng Long's corpse directly on the field.
Two or three hundred minions slowly surrounded him, and there were forty or fifty minions who had thrown their weapons and kneeled on the ground.
Lu Dashijin and others stood in one place with sharp blades in their hands.
At this time, these minions who had just gone down the mountain saw this scene and saw Deng Long's body being erected in the field. No one dared to step forward.
Most of them just exchanged glances and doubts in their hearts, and no one dared to speak.
Zheng Zhi led everyone to approach the minions, shouting: "Those who surrender are exempt from death! Those who surrender are not guilty."
As soon as these words came out, most of the minions were in a silence. Without the leader, I really didn’t know what to do.
There were also fierce people in the crowd, and the colors were watching and signaling. I wanted someone to respond to their eyes, stand in the same place and hug them, but no matter how they signaled, there were few people responding...
When Zheng Zhi brought everyone up, every time he arrived in front of him, the man put down his weapons, but no one dared to resist again.
Although many people were a little dissatisfied, no one dared to resist for more than 200 minions.
Judging from this situation, although things went smoothly, Zheng Zhi was also worried that although the copycat was taken down, he really didn't know whether Cao Zheng had the ability to be the leader of this village.
Zheng Zhi still has a basic idea in his mind about Cao Zheng's martial arts. He is probably at a top level, which should be worse than Deng Long. It would take some effort to be able to firmly sit in this village leader.
The hall of Baozhu Temple should be called Juyi Hall now, and Zheng Zhi sat upright on the main seat.
"Thank you for saving your life. In the future, if you have a word from brother, Zhou Tong will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Zhou Tong knelt down in the hall, his tone was firm. His face was mostly bruised and swollen. It seemed that he had suffered a lot, but fortunately it was all skin trauma.
Zheng Zhi looked at Zhou Tong and found that he was born with extraordinary martial arts and his face was even more wild. No wonder others said that Zhou Tong looked like the overlord Xiang Yu, but he was not talking nonsense. But his martial arts are still a bit bad. With this styling, it seems that he will need to train him well in the future.
"Brother, don't be polite, get up." Zheng Zhi gradually developed the temperament of many superiors. Although he seemed very close to him at this time, he also had a stance and did not go down to help Zhou Tong get up.
"Thank you brother!" Li Zhong helped Zhou Tong up from the side and thanked him.
"Today's affairs are over, so I made some arrangements and then rushed back to Weizhou. You should take good care of the matters afterwards." Zheng Zhi could not stay outside. Although there was nothing important in the Weizhou army now, it was time to actively prepare for the war. Tong Guan should also go back to Qinfeng Road, and Zheng Zhi should also want to go back to welcome and thank him.
"But with everyone's orders!" Many of the people here stood up and spoke, but they meant that the army was doubling the order.
"Zhou Tong went back to Taohua Mountain to recuperate, Li Zhong and Cao Zheng stayed at Erlong Mountain for the time being, Pei Kongmu also helped him in Erlong Mountain. The three of you must take care of Erlong Mountain. If there is any difference in money and food, go to Taohua Mountain and Shaohua Mountain to get it." Zheng Zhi nodded as he looked at everyone.
Zheng Zhi was really worried about the Erlongshan incident. Cao Zheng was no match for Luda and Yang Zhi. Both of them were brave enough, so it would be difficult for Cao Zheng to manage the counterfeit village well. Add a more mature Li Zhong and a government expert Pei Xuan. Moreover, the three of them are not bad in martial arts. Only with such cooperation can Zheng Zhi rest assured.
Zheng Zhi will naturally participate in this grand event in Shandong and Hebei in the future. These Erlong Mountains are the bridgehead in Zheng Zhi's heart.
"Abide by the brother's order!" The four of them stepped forward to salute, and naturally the four of them had nothing to say about Zheng Zhi's arrangement.
Pei Xuan was not outstanding in the fight before. After receiving Zheng Zhi's instructions, the government affairs were just a place to use their skills. They gathered together. More than 300 good minions. Pei Xuan asked around, registered his names, disrupted the minions and reorganized them. Each of them sent a little shocking silver.
I did some ideological work. It was a bit satisfying to everyone, and things gradually calmed down.
Early the next morning, Zheng Zhi took Lu Dashijin and everyone back to Weizhou.
Everyone was so tired that they rushed to the road like this, then fought and then rushed to the road. This fatigue seemed to be even more tiring than a marching.
On the official road, horses do not gallop, but move forward slowly as they step.
There seemed to be more pedestrians on the official road, especially the officials, who were heading northwest, and most of them were two or three officials escorting a prisoner with tattoos on his face.
From time to time, you can encounter a team of officials escorting a team of prisoners rushing to the road with wooden shackles and chains.
"Brother, what's going on? Why are so many prisoners heading northwest along the way?" Shi Jin gently urged the horse, and the horse took a few big steps to come to Zheng Zhi.
"Yes, brother, what's going on? The Sa family doesn't understand either." Lu Da, who was right beside Zheng Zhi, also asked.
"You don't remember what Mr. Tong and General Liu said. These people were sent to the northwest of the prefectures of various roads and prefectures." Zheng Zhixin was as clear as a mirror, obviously knowing what was going on. He didn't see it on the way he came, but he was on the way back.
"So that's the case. Mr. Tong is such a good method. All the prisoners on Hebei East Road have been transferred to the northwest." Shi Jin couldn't help but sigh.
Not only Shi Jin sighed, but also Zheng Zhi was also a little emotional. He thought that the Northern Song Dynasty was already terminally ill, but Zheng Zhi was actually preconceived. Even the Northern Song Dynasty, which was about to destroy the country, was still so powerful to mobilize national power. I think Tong Guan was even escorting a large amount of money and materials to head northwest.
"Yes, Mr. Tong is a good method. I'm afraid that the strong men in the entire Song Dynasty prison are on the way to the northwest." Zheng Zhi looked around at the official road, and was still a little happy. The victory of a war is definitely not something that can be achieved by relying on the bravery of the soldiers.
At this time, Lin Chong looked gloomy and walked to Zheng Zhi a few steps, saying, "But I don't know how many wrongful cases, and how many good people have been wronged."
After Lin Chong suffered such a disaster, his thoughts were naturally different from those of others, and he was more sympathetic to these prisoners sent to the northwest.
Zheng Zhi looked back at Lin Chong and slowly spoke, "Teacher Lin, do you think there are saints in this world?"
Lin Chong looked at Zheng Zhi with confusion and replied: "Brother, are you talking about Saint Kong?"
"Haha...Sage Kong? Then do you think there are any Bodhisattvas in this world who can save suffering?" Zheng Zhi obviously knew that Lin Chong did not understand his question, so he changed his way and said something again.
"Bodhisattva?" Lin Chong repeated, thinking in his heart that believers are naturally confident about the affairs of gods and Buddhas, and those who practice martial arts naturally have less awe, but they want to ask whether gods and Buddhas are there. Lin Chong really can't tell the reason.
After thinking about it, Lin Chong said again: "Brother, I don't know if there is a Bodhisattva. I think it may be."
An ancient Lin Chong, even though he practiced martial arts and killed people, he still retained a trace of awe of gods and Buddhas, and did not dare to say nothing, but said that there might be some.
Zheng Zhi laughed and said, "There are naturally gods and Buddhas in the sky. But this Bodhisattva is not elsewhere, but in people's hearts, everyone is a Bodhisattva, and everyone is a Bodhisattva who saves suffering. If you can't bless yourself, expect others to bless you? Isn't that a joke?"
After saying this, Zheng Zhi stopped talking and went forward by himself.
Lin Chong fell into thoughts again when he heard the words, and Zheng Zhi also knew that although these words could not change Lin Chong's already determined personality.
However, it should be able to change Lin Chong's thinking pattern on some things. It is natural that it is true. This is also the most basic conscience of being a human being. However, you also need to know how many abilities you have and how many people you can be sympathetic. If you are successful, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be safe. These words are connected together, which is the truth of being a human being.
