The Doctor Who Traveled Through Water Margin

Chapter 58 What happened in Liangshan

After seeing Wang Li off, Zheng Yu'e woke up the sleeping Hua Baoyan and returned to Liangshan under the leadership of Du Fu. Du Fu left a battalion to garrison the small camp.

After meeting Xu Guanzhong, Wang Lun and all the Liangshan leaders present, Zheng Yu'e didn't even bother to look at the residence Wang Lun had assigned to her, and asked Hua Baoyan to take her to see the legendary Zhao Yuannu, who was teaching the children in the mountain village.

Although she was affiliated with the Military Intelligence Department, she usually did not go out. She helped Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong to summarize the intelligence from various places in the mountain stronghold. When she had nothing to do, she would come to Liangshan Primary School to teach.

Zheng Yu'e looked at her from afar and muttered to herself, "She is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, worthy of being the number one girl in Tokyo!"

She thought to herself that even women would be shocked by her beauty, let alone men? She turned around and asked Hua Baoyan, "Does the master really not like her?"

Hua Baoyan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Brother Li doesn't like bound feet. He said that it was formed by the distorted thinking of feudal society. Women should not be bound. He also said that women can hold up half the sky!"

Zheng Yu'e nodded and said, "Well said!" This time she was completely relieved.

At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class in Liangshan Primary School rang. The children of Liangshan Primary School rushed out of the classroom happily like birds out of a cage, and they were discussing something with each other.

The boys gathered together to discuss yesterday's war, while the girls gathered together to share each other's little secrets, and everyone's face was filled with innocent emotions.

Zheng Yu'e and Hua Baoyan stood aside, looking at this group of lively and cheerful children, and couldn't help feeling a warm feeling in their hearts. It was obvious that yesterday's battle did not have much impact here.

Zheng Yu'e said, "That's great! How great would it be if all the children in the world were like this?"

Hua Baoyan said proudly: "Brother Li said that no matter how poor we are, we must not neglect education, and no matter how hard it is, we must not make children suffer. They are the future of Liangshan."

Zheng Yu'e nodded. At this time, Xiaoxuan came over with Jinjie's daughter. She had also seen Zheng Yu'e's portrait and bowed politely, "Hello, Sister Hua." She bowed to Zheng Yu'e and said, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Zheng Yu'e smiled and nodded, and did not refute the name Xiaoxuan. She thought to herself, this must be the sister that my husband picked up. She took off the two hairpins on her head and put one on each of the two girls, saying, "Is this Xiaoxuan? She is so beautiful!"

Xiaoxuan bowed and thanked him first, then she looked up at Zheng Yu'e with wide eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so tall! Taller than my brother."

Zheng Yu'e said awkwardly, "He is just like me!" Hua Baoyan touched her head and said, "Go and play!"

"Goodbye, Sister Hua, goodbye, Sister-in-law!" Xiaoxuan and the other girl ran out happily.

Zhao Yuannu stood at the door of the classroom with a smile, watching the children leave, and then saw Zheng Yu'e and Hua Baoyan.

"Miss Hua, you are here. Who is this?" Zhao Yuannu said gently, her voice as sweet as a clear spring in a valley.

Hua Baoyan replied, "This is the village chief's fiancée."

Zhao Yuannu had obviously heard of it before. He looked at Zheng Yu'e and complained in his heart, "Even more rude than Hua Baoyan." However, he still greeted them politely and took them to visit the school.

Zheng Yu'e wandered around Liangshan, quickly getting familiar with everything in Liangshan. She didn't return to her residence until dark. She didn't go to the residence arranged by Wang Lun, but followed Hua Baoyan to Wang Li's yard to sleep. She carefully observed Wang Li's yard, and then slept with Hua Baoyan. The two of them talked about Wang Li in bed and slowly fell asleep...

The next day, Zheng Yu'e went out for a walk again, visited the Liangshan military camp, and then came to her own camp, greeting her own people.

She took her personal guards with her everywhere, and when she arrived at the prisoner camp, she found that the prisoners here were not abused. Instead, they ate the same food as those in Liangshan.

She interrupted Jin Jie and others who came to say hello and told them to go about their business and not to bother her.

Zheng Yu'e watched silently. After the prisoners finished their meal, they were gathered in a training ground. When the prisoners were in panic, Song Wan began to speak.

He was holding a tin trumpet and shouting, "Brothers of the government army, this war was caused by the imperial court. They raised an unjust army to attack Liangshan.

Most of us are Shandong people, and we all know that we Liangshan people were all runaways, but who is a runaway? If you can barely survive, who would be a runaway?

Our leader led us to take revenge, which led to the encirclement and suppression by the soldiers." He then went on to explain some of the reasons for Liangshan's revenge actions.

Finally, he continued, "Mr. Zhang is a good official. We don't blame him. If we have to blame someone, we should blame this dark world that doesn't allow good people to survive. Now, let's ask our Liangshan leader Pan Tie to tell us about his story..."

When Pan Tie came on stage and told his story, how he was forced to join the Liangshan bandits, and how happy he was after his revenge, the captives were finally moved. Who doesn't have a hard life? Who doesn't have some grievances?

Then it was Hua Zimi's turn to speak. After he finished speaking, he successfully ignited the hatred of these captives.

Then Song Wan came on stage and told everyone that anyone could come up and talk about their experiences, and if they had any grudges, Liangshan would help them get revenge.

The captives below cheered loudly, apparently having forgotten the life-and-death battle with Liangshan two days ago. However, after cheering, no one was too embarrassed to stand up and speak first.

At this time, someone finally stood up. This was a person arranged by Liangshan. He went up and began to tell his story. "My name is Li Ergou, and I am an ordinary soldier of the Jeju Imperial Army. I have an old mother, a wife and children at home. I live an ordinary and stable life. I can barely get by relying on my meager military salary.

However, since the imperial court's grain collection and taxation became heavier and heavier, and my mother got sick, our life became worse and worse. In order to treat my mother's illness, I had to borrow money from wealthy families, but the money seemed to be getting more and more, and I could never pay it back.

Li Ergou's words revealed his helplessness and hardships in life. The captives nodded in sympathy and some even shared his feelings.

Then Li Ergou continued, "Although Lord Zhang is a good official, his subordinates are not lenient at all when collecting taxes.

When natural disasters or man-made disasters happen, ordinary people like us simply cannot survive. To be honest, the meals I had these past two days were the best I have ever had.

I thought this was the last meal before execution, but it turned out to be just an ordinary meal in Liangshan."

His words were full of bitterness and helplessness, and the captives nodded in agreement.

Li Ergou's words seemed to open the floodgates, and for a moment, the training ground was filled with all kinds of complaints.

Some people complained about heavy taxes, some accused officials of corruption, and some told of their tragic experiences of having their families broken up.

Li Ergou looked at his comrades around him, and an inexplicable power surged in his heart. He realized that they were not alone, at least here, their voices could be heard, their experiences could be understood, and he had already decided to join Liangshan.

After waiting for a long time, Song Wan felt that it was about time, so he went on stage and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet!" Everyone looked at him, and Zheng Yu'e also watched with interest.

"Brother Li Ergou, please go back and fetch your mother. Also, fetch any of you who have patients at home.

We have the best doctors in Liangshan. You can go and see the wounded camp later. There are also government soldiers there. We treat everyone equally and will heal all their injuries.

You have fought in wars before, so you should know the survival rate of wounded soldiers, right?"

A prisoner below shouted, "I know. It would be good if 30% of the wounded can survive." Others echoed him.

Song Wan shouted proudly again: "I want to tell you that the survival rate of Liangshan's wounded battalion is over 80%."

The people below were whispering to each other.

Song Wan shouted again, "Seeing is believing, hearing is not. If you want to see it now, go to the wounded camp. However, you can't make loud noises in the hospital. Only a hundred people can go at a time. Who wants to go?"

Soon someone said, "There is a patient at home, brothers, let me go first."

Someone else said, "I have fought in many battles and have seen many camps of wounded soldiers. Let me go and take a look first."

...............

Soon, about a hundred people were selected to follow the Liangshan people to the wounded camp. Song Wan continued to speak to the rest: "After you have seen it, those who want to stay can stay, and those who don't want to stay can take two strings of money for travel expenses.

For those who stay, we in Liangshan will give them 100 strings of cash as resettlement allowance, and the military pay will be the same as that of the imperial guards, there will be absolutely no deductions, there is a military court over there, whoever dares to deduct will be punished.”

The prisoners began to whisper to each other when they heard this, and some of them shouted boldly, "Really?"

"of course it's true!"

"Okay, I want to join, but I have to go back and tell my family, but I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!"

Everyone agreed with this and were scratching their heads trying to find a solution.

Song Wan smiled and shouted, "Don't worry, tomorrow we will notify people from all the major cities to come and claim the bodies. Your family members don't know whether you are alive or dead, so they will come to see you! If your family members want to come, we will accept them!"

"it is good……"

"Liang Shan is very thoughtful..."

Almost everyone wants to stay. Most of the people who join the army these days have two or more brothers in their family, or they cannot survive. Joining the army means that your head is tied to the belt. The family members have been mentally prepared for this since their sons join the army.

Zheng Yu'e watched all this quietly, and was full of admiration for the person who came up with the idea. In the end, only more than a hundred people expressed their desire to receive the travel expenses and go back, while most of them wanted to stay. Liangshan asked them to go back with the body collectors tomorrow.

The remaining people were registered one by one, including the injured, to facilitate their relatives to find them...
