More than 3,000 government troops surrounded Liangshan and were once again completely annihilated. Governor Chen Yinglong had also died in battle. The news spread from the surroundings of Yuncheng County at a terrifying speed.
In just a few days, Yun Prefecture in the north, Yan Prefecture in the east, Pu Prefecture in the west, Dan Prefecture and Xu Prefecture in the south, and even the further away Xing Ren Prefecture, Ying Tian Prefecture, and Daming Prefecture, all of them knew about it.
Some were shocked, some mocked, some didn't believe it, but most of them were just watching the show.
After all, this wasn't something that happened on their own ground. They just wanted to watch the show.
However, Liang Mountain's banner of 'enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens, eliminating the violent and pacifying the good' became even more resounding.
Jeju, which was at the center of the storm, was strangely quiet, especially at the government level.
Zhizhou Ren Qingrong had been furious at Huang An's defeat the last time. Now that Chen Yinglong had been defeated, he was only left with fear.
There were a total of 3,000 provincial capitals, and they were all armed with Bu Ren Armor and the Divine Bow. Yet, they were all wiped out by the Liangshan bandits?
Were they still bandits?
It was said that after Ren Qing Rong received Shi Wenbin's official document, he was so shocked that he lost his composure on the spot and even fell. His expression was even more unbearable than Shi Wenbin's.
Ren Qingrong panicked not only because of Liang Shanpo, but also because he was worried about the black gauze hat on his head.
That Liang Shanbo was in Jeju. Ren Qingrong, as the Zhizhou, had such a huge thief under his rule. He had to bear the first responsibility.
If there were any of his sworn enemies or people with ulterior motives, he would not be able to keep his title as Zhizhou.
Therefore, after the defeat of the government army, Ren Qingrong did not think of making up for it. Instead, he wanted to cover it up for the time being and then spend money to move around the court to fool around with this defeat. Then, he would quickly leave this place of trouble.
Ren Qingrong also understood that after the defeat of the government army, the people of Jeju Prefecture were already poor. If they were to carry out a third expedition, no one would dare to agree.
It wasn't that Jeju had no more people, but that after this battle, Liangshanpo had completely displayed its might. The common people knew in their hearts that if they went to suppress it again, they would be courting death.
With Liang Shan Po's current momentum, even if there were less than five thousand people, they would not dare to go near the water park. Even if they went, they would be panicking.
How could he find 5,000 government troops in a small Jeju Prefecture? He could only report it to the Imperial Court and ask the Imperial Court to send an army to attack. However, this matter could not be covered up!
This wasn't what Ren Qingrong wanted to see. Because this concerned his official position, he could only try his best to hide it for the time being.
As for Liangshan Lake, they could do whatever they wanted. As long as they didn't attack the prefecture or seize the county, it would be fine as long as they made the matter bigger.
Of course, Ren Qingrong also knew that the loss of four to five thousand soldiers was not a small matter. It could not be concealed no matter what.
However, it was best to stall for time so that he had enough time to get a sum of funds for his activities and let someone in the court put in a good word for him.
Ren Zhizhou was terrified. He ordered the counties and villages of Jeju to stop the local soldiers and guard against the invasion of bandits while secretly sending a sum of money to Tokyo.
This was only the first stroke. There were still a few more!
At the same time, a festive scene was unfolding in Liangshan Lake.
After this battle, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the village naturally had to celebrate.
In the village, pigs and sheep were slaughtered and a three-day feast was held. Whether it was the original minions or the newly surrendered soldiers, everyone was in high spirits.
Besides, Xu Fengwu also threw out a large amount of money.
Needless to say, the lackeys in the village naturally received a sum of money.
As for the newly surrendered soldiers, the first batch of soldiers who surrendered received five strings of money each, and the rest who surrendered received the same amount.
Moreover, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Xu Fengwu gave everyone a red packet. Although it was only a hundred wen, it made everyone happy.
First, there was a meeting to complain, then there was a money offensive. In the end, the 2,600 government troops, except for a few stubborn ones, basically all submitted.
The money was more convincing than anything else.
There were also about 700 to 800 civilian workers recruited by the government army from nearby areas. With the submission of the government army, there was no reason for these civilian workers not to surrender.
Now, the total military strength of Liang Shan Po had already broken through the 6000 mark. It could be said that the military strength had skyrocketed.
In the face of such a situation, Xu Fengwu naturally had to carry out a new round of training.
Among the government troops and civilian workers, there were those who were skilled in sailing boats and those who were proficient in water. They were all incorporated into the Liangshan Navy, making the navy more than 600 people.
Xu Fengwu divided them into two battalions. Just like the minions on land, they trained in basic military postures and more individual skills, such as wielding knives and shooting arrows.
The remaining 6,000 troops, excluding the old and weak, were divided into 12 full battalions. Each battalion had 500 people and began training in Wanzi City.
Apart from the battalion formation, Xu Fengwu also organized each battalion in detail.
Every five people in a team, set up a team leader; Every ten men are divided into ten parts, and a ten-man commander is appointed; Every team is divided into five parts, and a captain is appointed. Two teams were divided into one capital, and the head of the capital was set up. The five capitals were divided into one camp, and the camp was set up.
In this way, the outstanding ones could become sergeants, and their salary would be higher. If their abilities improved, becoming sergeants or captains would not be a dream, and their salary would naturally rise.
This was an incentive system. When the minions had something to look forward to, they would be motivated and train harder.
If they were like the Song army, who often embezzled the soldiers 'money and food, wanted the horses to run fast, but did not give the horses grass to eat, how could the soldiers have the mood to fight?
Apart from the team establishment, Xu Fengwu also started assigning duties.
Before this, although Xu Fengwu had set up a general framework, Liang Shanpo's position was still relatively chaotic.
Hence, Xu Fengwu made some adjustments.
Lu Zhishen, Bian Xiang, Shan Shiqi, Liu Tang, Yang Lin, Yun Zongwu, and Yuan Zhongliang were each the Battalion Commanders of a Battalion and had a seat in the Hall of Righteousness.
Out of the remaining five battalions, Xu Fengwu and Shi Wengong would each lead two battalions, and the remaining one would be the supply camp. This would be decided after the new round of training.
Du Qian resigned from the 2nd unit and became the camp major of the supply unit. Song Wan also resigned from his post and focused on managing the warehouse and collecting toll fees at the lake.
However, according to Song Wan's plan, he wanted to lead the supply camp with Du Qian because mathematics was not his forte. However, the stronghold was short of manpower, so he could only temporarily take over.
In addition to the original Xuanzheng Hall and Intelligence Hall, Xu Fengwu also set up the Military Equipment Division, which was under Tang Long's charge. It was specially made for the stronghold.
He set up the Training Division with Shi Wengong as the head instructor to train the new army. He let the Xu family's vassals become the backbone of the Training Division to help Shi Wengong train the elite soldiers.
The leaders usually only cared about fighting, and the training of soldiers was handed over to the Training Hall. They only needed to supervise.
Lu Zhishen was the head of the Military Academy. The Flowery Monk might look boorish, but he was actually a meticulous person. He had also fought with the Xixia people, so he had the most experience in battle.
In fact, Xu Fengwu had talked to Lu Zhishen after he went up the mountain. He realized that the Flowery Monk was really talented. Although he hadn't read many books, he was good at martial arts, resourcefulness, training troops, and commanding troops.
Xu Fengwu knew the importance of battle formations, but he did not understand ancient formations. Therefore, after setting up the lecture hall, he let Lu Zhishen take charge.
When marching to war, wasn't the general waving his hand? Brothers, charge with me!
This wasn't a war, but a street brawl in the underworld. If they encountered an army with strict formations, they would only be beaten up.
Of course, battle formations were only one aspect of it. There were also strategies and tactics. Ambush, outflanking, and other tactics were all the most basic routines.
In Xu Fengwu's vision, the Liangshan soldiers not only had to be able to ambush and ambush, but they also had to be able to win head-on.
