Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Ren Yuan and his group traveled by water to Jiangzhou.

The advantage of doing this is that they can go directly without having to cross Jieyang Ridge.

Bu Qing and the others could tell that Ren Yuan was a little anxious, so they increased the speed of the boat to the maximum.

However, this caused some of the men from the north to experience some discomfort due to the change in environment.

Although there were no other symptoms, his complexion was still not good.

"Brother, we're running a bit too fast."

Mi Sheng leaned against the side of the boat, his face looking rather unpleasant.

Even someone like him, who isn't from the north, couldn't stand the boat ride anymore, let alone others.

Ren Yuan's expression was also rather unpleasant. Indeed, in order to speed up their journey, they had increased the boat's speed, which had become unbearable for many of the brothers.

The main problem is that I'm not used to it!

But Ren Yuan felt that this matter should be taken seriously, because in the future, they would be taking boat trips more often than not.

Moreover, it will likely involve a long boat trip. If the leaders and soldiers are like this, what's the point of fighting? Are we just going to go ashore and deliver our heads to the enemy?

practice!

I must practice more from now on!

Whether you're a leader or a regular soldier, you must learn this skill of sailing!

Jiangzhou, Pipa Pavilion Tavern.

It is said that this is a historical site associated with Bai Juyi, and it is very famous throughout Jiangzhou.

Moreover, the Pipa Pavilion Tavern offers the freshest fish from Jiangzhou every day, which is also one of their specialties.

The largest fishing guild in Jiangzhou was capable of supplying fresh fish to the entire tavern.

This fishing gang was established a year ago. In just one year, the gang has grown to include seventy or eighty fishing boats and has become very powerful!

The leader of the fishing gang was a young man in his late twenties, an excellent swimmer! He suddenly arrived in Jiangzhou a year ago and founded this fishing gang.

Indeed, this person is Zhang Shun!

Such a large fishing community was formed in just one year! Amazing!

"Master! Master!"

Zhang Shun was looking at today's harvest when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"what happened?"

Zhang Shun had a mild personality and was very lenient with the fishermen under his command, so basically every fisherman was willing to listen to him.

"Master, someone is looking for you."

Zhang Shun was a little surprised. He was now just a fisherman, so why would anyone be looking for him?

"You guys count them first, I'll be right back."

Zhang Shun got up and followed the person to the Pipa Pavilion.

Inside the Pipa Pavilion, Ren Yuan and the others were already seated.

"Brother, is this Zhang Shun very powerful?"

Sun An was somewhat curious.

"It's awesome."

When Ren Yuan talked about Zhang Shun, he felt that Zhang Shun was a legend.

"This guy can stay underwater for seven days and seven nights. Isn't that terrifying?"

"Wow, he's even better than Xiao Qi!"

Even Mi Sheng was amazed.

"If he's really that powerful, then brother can't let him get away with it."

Sun An also expressed his approval.

“Look at the fishing gangs in Jiangzhou. Zhang Shun has only been here for a year, and he has already organized them so well. I dare say that his management skills are among the top two in our Liangshan navy.”

Ren Yuan truly held Zhang Shun in exceptionally high regard.

"Brother, they've arrived."

Shi Qian, who had been leaning against the window, suddenly spoke up.

Shortly after Shi Qian finished speaking, Zhang Shun arrived at the tavern's private room and met with Ren Yuan.

"May I ask who you are?"

As soon as Zhang Shun entered the room, he felt as if the room was full of giants!

He himself was only six feet five or six inches tall, but in this room, it felt like almost everyone was over eight feet tall!

Yeah, that skinny guy by the window, a little shorter, but he seems to be taller than me!

"Brother Zhang Shun, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Ren Yuan stood up and handed Zhang Shun a bowl of wine.

Zhang Shun felt as if a giant was exerting immense pressure on him.

"Brother, may I ask who you are?"

Zhang Shun took the wine, but instead of drinking it directly, he asked a question first.

"My name is Ren Yuan. Have you heard of Brother Zhang Shun?"

"Ren Yuan, the pillar of Liangshan in Shandong?"

Zhang Shun was greatly surprised!

"Brother, may I ask what brings you here this time?"

Zhang Shun quickly put down the wine bowl.

"Don't panic, sit down, sit down."

Ren Yuan pressed Zhang Shun back into his seat.

"The main reason I came here this time is to get to know you and see if there's an opportunity to invite you back to the mountain together."

"what?"

Zhang Shun was somewhat surprised. He hadn't been doing those kinds of things for the past year, so why did this older brother still seem to be listening to all those stories about him?

"Brother, I've stopped robbing people. Have you heard any rumors?"

"Huh? Hahahaha."

Ren Yuan was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Brother! You've got the wrong idea!"

"I've known about the name 'White Streak in the Waves' for a long time. As for the things you mentioned, they must be the water banditry you did with your brother Zhang Heng before. It's okay, I know about those things."

Ren Yuan comforted Zhang Shun.

“Because you disagreed with your brother’s methods, you separated from him. He continued to stay on the Xunyang River and engage in the river bandit business, while you came here on your own to join the fishing gang.”

"My brother knows so much about this."

Zhang Shun was somewhat moved.

He felt ashamed because of his past involvement with his brother as river pirates.

That's why they hope to start a new life by forming a fishing community.

That's why Zhang Shun was alarmed when Ren Yuan came up to him today, saying he wanted to go up the mountain or something. He wondered if his past had been dug up again.

Now it seems that's not the case; it's just that Ren Yuan paid a lot of attention to him.

"Brother Zhang Shun, you don't know, but for the sake of the development of the Liangshan navy, I really rushed this trip. As a native of Jingnan, I almost threw up from the long boat ride."

Mi Sheng, this dark-skinned fellow, sat down next to Zhang Shun. The difference in their skin color immediately made them stand out.

"My idea is actually very simple: I want you to go up the mountain and become a leader of the naval forces. Brother, if you're willing, I, Mi Sheng, will be your good brother from now on!"

Zhang Shun could tell that this Mi Sheng was a very sincere guy, and his words were highly credible.

“Brother, I have indeed heard of Liangshan’s reputation. It’s different from the other mountain strongholds. However, I still have a question.”

"You said."

Ren Yuan truly liked Zhang Shun from the original novel, and he didn't want him to be shot to death in the river by a hail of arrows like in the original story.

"Why would my brother choose me? My brother has another guy in Jieyang, Li Jun, who is also an excellent swimmer. Do you think my personality is really suitable for him?"

Zhang Shun had always been quite troubled by his own personality.

His older brother, Zhang Heng, although he became a river bandit, had genuinely been very kind to him in the past. From a young age, he stood up for him and fought against others because of his somewhat cowardly nature.

As he grew up, Zhang Heng became a river bandit, robbing people to support his family. This was also an important reason why Zhang Shun later partnered with his brother.

However, Zhang Shunxin was too soft-hearted and unwilling to kill. As a result, during his collaboration with Zhang Heng, he merely played the role of a scapegoat.

Each time they robbed someone, Zhang Shun would disguise himself as a customer and board the boat among the other passengers. Then, when Zhang Heng was establishing his authority, he would drag Zhang Shun out, tie his hands and feet, and throw him into the river. This way, the others would obediently hand over their money.

Until one day, a customer was robbed for the second time, recognized the perpetrator, and exposed the scam on the spot. The scene became chaotic, and Zhang Shun had no choice but to break his vow of not killing.

That was the first time he had killed someone. When the warm blood sprayed onto his face, Zhang Shun was stunned.

I killed someone! I killed someone!

After that day, Zhang Heng suggested that they should just kill him directly and stop pretending.

But Zhang Shun refused, because he was unwilling to kill again!

"You've already killed someone, do you think you're still clean?"

This one sentence caused a rift between the two brothers and was also a major reason why Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng separated their families!

Therefore, Zhang Shun always felt that he was probably only suited to be a fisherman's assistant, not a leader. He was averse to killing! (Of course, in the original story, he recognized Song Jiang as his elder brother, and killed quite a few people for this so-called elder brother.)

"Who said you're not clean?"

Ren Yuan got up and poured Zhang Shun another full glass of wine.

"In my entire life, I've never seen anyone as clean as you. Otherwise, how did you get the nickname 'White Streak in the Waves'? Look at you sitting next to Brother Mi Sheng, making him look like someone who hasn't bathed for ten or fifteen days!"

Well, you know what, if we're using whiteness as the standard, you really can't find anyone cleaner than Zhang Shun...
