After a few days, when the toll station was officially established, Xu Fengwu immediately gave the authority to the Ruan Brothers.
At Liangshan Lake, Shi Wengong, Du Qian, and Song Wan were in charge of training the soldiers, Zhu Gui was in charge of money, food, and logistics, and the Ruan brothers were keeping an eye on the toll station while building the navy at Liangshan Lake.
It could be said that everyone had endless things to do.
Naturally, Xu Fengwu was not idle either. He was preparing for the upcoming training, writing military rules and training methods.
In the room, Xu Fengwu put down his brush and looked at his masterpiece. He could not help but nod in satisfaction.
This was based on the method of training soldiers of later generations, combined with the current situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was constantly added, deleted, and modified. For the time being, it was called "Military Training Minutes".
Although most of the content was borrowed from Xu Fengwu, it still cost him a lot of brain cells.
At this moment, Xu Fengwu heard footsteps. He looked up and saw his mother, Madam Xu, walking in to call him for lunch.
Xu Fengwu immediately put away the Military Training Program and left with his mother.
At the dining table, Great Grandfather Xu was already seated at the head of the table. When he saw Xu Fengwu, he immediately glared at him and said,""You've been holed up in your room for the past two days. What the hell are you doing?”
"Father, the village is preparing to train their soldiers. I'm writing a training method!" Xu Fengwu said.”
Xu Yuanzhong was shocked and immediately said with a bitter face,"My son, you killed the imperial court's envoy and defeated the provincial government's army. You've committed a grave crime! And now you're still preparing to train your soldiers? Are you going against the Imperial Court to the end?”
"Father, with our current situation, is there any other choice?" Xu Fengwu asked. The Imperial Court wants to chop off my head. I can't just wait to die, right?”
"Who asked you to be so impulsive before? Even the county magistrate had to serve the special envoy sent by the imperial court well, but you killed him with a knife. If you had calmed down at that time, our family would not have ended up like this!”Xu Yuan Zhong said bitterly.
Xu Fengwu could only roll his eyes. Ever since he had gone to Liangshan, he had heard these words so many times that his ears had calluses.
Xu Fengwu did not retort and only focused on eating.
Madam Xu quickly tried to smooth things over." Old Master, it's already happened. There's no point in saying anything more. You two should eat first."”
Xu Fengwu agreed." Father, Mother is right. Even if we say it now, will the imperial court spare our family?"”
Xu Yuanzhong snorted and said," Now that you've grown wings and are the leader of a village, I naturally can't control you. However, there's one thing you must do as I say."”
"What are you talking about, Father?" Xu Fengwu was surprised.”
"You're already eighteen years old. If it were anyone else, their children would be able to talk." Our Xu family has only been passed down for several generations. We can't let you cut off the line. You have to marry a wife as soon as possible and give birth to a fat boy. By then, even if I die, I'll be at ease!”
"Don't say such inauspicious words, Old Master," said Madam Xu hurriedly.”
Xu Fengwu didn't expect his father to say such a thing. He was speechless and said,""Father, aren't you also in your thirties before you have me as your son? Why are you in such a hurry to get me a wife?”
"Can you be the same as me?" Grand Duke Xu almost jumped up.
It turned out that Xu Yuanzhong had a first wife who had died of illness a few years ago. Later, he married Madam Xu, so he only had children in his thirties. The couple was more than ten years apart.
"Father, there's no hurry. If there's someone I like, I won't need you to say it. I'll naturally marry her.”Xu Fengwu laughed and replied.
"Humph! You only know how to brush me off!" Grand Duke Xu was quite dissatisfied with Xu Fengwu's attitude, but he couldn't say too much.
After Xu Fengwu finished his lunch, he took a short break and went straight to the Hall of Loyalty. He ordered people to beat drums and gather generals in front of the hall.
After the three drums sounded, Shi Wengong, the Ruan brothers, Du Qian, Song Wan, Zhu Gui, and the others went to the hall to meet each other and sat down.
"This time, I called you all here for the great plan of training soldiers. I have been thinking hard for a few days and have written a method of training soldiers.”As Xu Fengwu spoke, he took out the Military Training Program and let Zhu Gui read it out.
When Zhu Gui finished reading, everyone was excited. Of course, there was no lack of doubts. However, Liangshan had already fought a few battles, and everyone had some experience. Although there were some areas that they didn't understand, they still felt that the method was feasible.
Most importantly, whether it was ambushing He Tao or attacking Huang An at night, it was Xu Fengwu's idea. Everyone instinctively believed in the training method he proposed.
Shi Wengong was more knowledgeable and immediately said,"Brother is a great talent, I admire you! If this training method is implemented, we will definitely be able to train an elite army, but there are still some things I don't understand.”
"Teacher, what do you not understand?" Xu Fengwu asked.”
Shi Wengong said," Just now, Leader Zhu Gui read it out loud. Since ancient times, the elite armies have always followed orders and prohibitions. The upper and lower levels must have the same thinking. I agree with this point very much. But what is the meaning of the grievance meeting after that?”
Not only Shi Wengong, but everyone else present also revealed puzzled expressions.
"Everyone, do you still remember when we asked the villagers to criticize Xie Baozheng in Xihou Village?" Xu Fengwu smiled and said.”
"How can I not remember?" Ruan Xiaowu shouted.
"What happened that night gave me some inspiration.”
Xu Fengwu looked at the crowd and continued,""Since everyone has suffered before, why don't we gather together and tell everyone about the hardships we've suffered in the past so that everyone can listen?”
"So that our brothers can think about why we have to suffer while those corrupt officials and bullies live a good life?”
"At the very least, it's those corrupt officials and bullies who are bullying us. To put it in a higher perspective, it was because the imperial court was corrupt and there were treacherous officials like Cai Jing in power that the world was so unfair.”
" I have to let my brothers in the village know that we are all poor people. Some were forced to do harm by the country squire, some were persecuted by the corrupt officials, and some were slandered by the gentry. Now, we have become bandits. We are all fighting for a way out…"
Xu Fengwu quoted from the history books and explained the meeting thoroughly.
When Shi Wengong, Zhu Gui, and the others heard the last part, they were already dumbstruck, and their faces were filled with shock.
Xu Fengwu's words were like a huge bell, shaking them so much that they were speechless.
No one had ever said such a thing, never!
The Ruan brothers 'eyes lit up when they heard this. Because they were too excited and excited, their faces were already flushed red. They sat in their chairs and could not help but twist.
Ruan Xiaoqi scratched her ears and said excitedly,""Brother's words made my blood boil. Now that I think about it carefully, isn't it because we are weak that corrupt officials and bullies bully us?”
"That's right. Ever since we killed Huang An, who in the radius of tens of miles around Liangshan Lake doesn't respect us?”Ruan Xiaowu said angrily.
Xu Fengwu nodded and said," That's right. My Xu family was originally a big family, but in front of the imperial court, we can only let them bully us."”
"Until our generation gathered at Mount Xiao Liang and defeated the government army, would those corrupt officials and bullies still dare to bully us? When they hear our names, they will only feel fear!”
"All of this is because of the concerted efforts of our Liangshan brothers, resulting in today's situation!”
"Now that we have gathered in the mountains and forests, we are not restricted by the Imperial Court. We have food and clothing. Isn't it better than living an ignoble life?”
Xu Fengwu stood up and said loudly,""The entire Liang Mountain is not fighting for me, Xu Fengwu, but for ourselves, for the pure land of Liang Mountain!”
"From now on, our Liangshan will not only enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, but we will also eliminate the violent and appease the good!”
