Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Brother, you're also going to Liangshan, aren't you?"

While Zhou Tong and Yue Fei were waiting, the other people around them were also greeting them.

"Yes, is your whole family up the mountain?"

The person who greeted Zhou Tong was also an old man, but he was accompanied by his son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and a whole family, which was in stark contrast to Zhou Tong's group, which consisted of only Yue Fei.

"Yes, our whole family went up the mountain."

The old man laughed heartily.

"Brother, with your whole family to support, aren't you tired?"

"The journey has been tiring, but as long as we reach Liangshan, it will all be worth it!"

The old man smiled happily.

“You may not know how good the chief of Liangshan was to us ordinary people. Many people from our village went to Liangshan first. I hesitated because there were so many of us. It wasn’t until this year, when my old friends who went up the mountain came back to the village and told us how good Liangshan was, that we decided to come.”

"Brother, you keep saying Liangshan is great, could you explain in detail why it's great?"

Zhou Tong asked.

"Let me tell you, my old buddy said that after you go up the mountain, Liangshan will allocate houses according to the number of people in your family. Although they are not particularly luxurious mansions, they are all sturdy and durable."

When the old man mentioned the benefits of Liangshan, although he had never experienced them, his face was full of longing.

"For families with children, Liangshan provides many job opportunities. As long as you are hardworking and conscientious, the mountain stronghold will never withhold your wages."

"For those with children, there are literacy schools run by the strategists in the mountain village where they can learn to read for free."

“If a member of the family joins the Liangshan army, the monthly allowance will be even higher.”

"And most importantly, Chief Ren is truly thinking of us. I heard from my old buddies that the chiefs are working on a plan to distribute land to every household in the future!"

"Ah, but Liangshan is only so big, it's mostly water, where would we find land?"

Zhou Tong was even more surprised when he heard this.

"I don't know, but my old buddy said that the chieftain doesn't lie and always keeps his promises."

"Besides, even if we don't end up with any land, the chieftain has already given us so many benefits. We should be content, don't you think, brother?"

“Chief Ren, he is the clear sky for us common people! Brother, once we get up the mountain and everything is settled, let’s have a drink sometime! Your little grandson can go to school with my grandson.”

"Yeah."

Zhou Tong and the old man chatted for a while longer, and then the Liangshan navy's large ships arrived, ready to take these people up the mountain.

The two then stopped talking, and the old man returned to his family to prepare to leave.

“Master, my senior brother treats the people much better than the imperial court does.”

Although Yue Fei was still a child, he had been learning from Zhou Tong since he was young and had gone out to experience life firsthand. He was also clear about the current state of people's lives.

“Alas, your senior brother, although he has done a good job, you must know that what he did is treason to the current court, which is to oppose the court.”

Zhou Tong sighed:

"Moreover, although Liangshan Marsh covers an area of ​​eight hundred li, it's not easy to support so many people. Your senior brother chose a path that no one has ever taken before, and it's an extremely difficult path to traverse!"

"But Master, is it wrong to do the right thing?"

Yue Fei didn't quite understand.

"From a moral standpoint, that's right."

Zhou Tong patted Yue Fei's head.

"But sometimes, those in power don't like what is morally right. If you do it, they will dislike you."

“Pengju, you are different from your senior brother. Your senior brother is like a mischievous monkey, very slippery, and he can also judge the situation when doing things.”

“You’re different. Sometimes you’re stubborn, which makes you an easy target. Right now, your master can protect you, but what will you do when your master is gone?”

"Hehe, then I'll go find my senior brother! He won't abandon me!"

Yue Fei said to Zhou Tong with a smile.

Zhou Tong was taken aback, then laughed.

That's true. The third brother, that mischievous monkey, used to dote on Yue Fei a lot when he was around.

It seems I don't need to worry about my little apprentice being bullied in the future.

"Boarding, everyone, please don't push. Come one family at a time. Our Liangshan navy may not have much else, but we have plenty of ships! Everyone, please line up!"

At the prompting of the navy, Zhou Tong and Yue Fei boarded the ship. As the navy started the large ship, the boats carrying the people passed through the reeds and slowly sailed into the depths of Liangshan.

"Master, the Liangshan Marsh is truly vast!"

Yue Fei had never seen such a large lake since he was a child, and he was very surprised when he first saw Liangshan Lake.

"That's right, little guy. When you grow up, you can join our Liangshan Navy. Then you can row boats and play on the water every day!"

The naval officers on duty on the ship were immediately impressed by Yue Fei's robust and adorable appearance and tried to win him over in advance.

"What are online trolls like? Are the Liangshan trolls any good?"

Because he had never seen lakes or seas much, Yue Fei had no concept of naval forces, so he was very curious.

"Everyone in our Liangshan navy can sail a large ship. All these ships belong to our navy. We don't have any infantry or cavalry. How about that? Aren't you impressive?"

"Moreover, everyone in our Liangshan navy is an excellent swimmer. Not to mention, the naval commanders are all outstanding!"

"Commander Zhang Shun, he could lie in wait underwater for seven days and seven nights, isn't that amazing? And our navy's three Ruan brothers, Commander Ou Peng, who is skilled in both naval and infantry warfare... What do you think, little guy, when you grow up, join the navy, you look like you're cut out to be a soldier!"

"Hehe, I can't swim yet. I'll talk about it after I learn!"

Yue Fei smiled. Although he admired the might of the Liangshan navy, it was clearly unlikely that he would become a navy officer.

"Brother, besides the navy, what else does Liangshan have?"

Zhou Tong asked the soldier.

"Old man, look at your question! Our Liangshan has a well-organized army! Otherwise, how could it be so famous among the outlaws of the Song Dynasty? In addition to the navy, there are cavalry and infantry. Furthermore, the chieftain has a personal guard, which is also remarkable. It is personally led by the chieftain's senior brother and accompanies the chieftain in every battle, making outstanding contributions. Do you know the commander of the personal guard? He is none other than Lin Jiaotou, the famous instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Dongjing back then!"

"Look, such a capable person is not tolerated by the imperial court. Fortunately, we have Liangshan, otherwise heroes like Instructor Lin would have been buried!"

The naval soldiers spoke of Lin Chong with great respect. To be honest, there was competition among the mountain stronghold's cavalry, infantry, and navy, but Lin Chong's personal guard was the only one that received everyone's unanimous approval.

"Master, is he talking about our eldest brother?"

Yue Fei knew, of course, that he had three senior brothers: Ren Yuan, Lin Chong, and Lu Junyi, but he had never met them.

"Yes, that's your eldest brother. Your third brother at least has a conscience."

Zhou Tong certainly knew that Lin Chong had been saved by Ren Yuan. In his opinion, it was a good thing that Ren Yuan had not forgotten his sect.

However, he would never praise him verbally.

"So, I've decided that instead of the original plan to give him twenty strokes, I'll just give him ten."
