Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Liangshan has been incredibly lively these past month or so!

The impoverished people from Puyang, Qizhou, Zizhou, Xingren Prefecture... all the prefectures and counties of Jingdong East Road were truly flocking to Liangshan!

The arrival of a large population also posed a huge challenge to the infrastructure projects in Liangshan.

Fortunately, the stronghold had seized a lot of things beforehand, and the navy also had a lot of ships. In the past month or so, the Liangshan navy made four trips, sending more than 60,000 people to Jeju Island, ensuring that the number of people on Liangshan was always kept at around 170,000 to 180,000, without exceeding the red line of 200,000.

Of course, Liangshan could accommodate more people; with the current grain reserves, even if there were more than 200,000 people on Liangshan, it wouldn't be a problem to sustain them for half a year. However, Ren Yuan didn't want to keep too many people on Liangshan; he still needed to relocate them.

After all, this area is likely to become a frequent battle zone in the future. It is fine as a place for soldiers to be stationed, but the people cannot stay on the mountain forever.

At this time, the population of Jeju Island had reached eighty to ninety thousand. Fortunately, Wen Huanzhang and Wang Yin personally oversaw everything on Jeju Island, making clear arrangements for all matters; otherwise, it would have been a real headache.

But Wen Huanzhang was exhausted from all this hard work, because the biggest problem in Liangshan was the lack of civil officials, especially those who could govern the local areas. The situation of emphasizing military over civil officials was quite serious.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, in the eyes of the Song court, Liangshan was now a separatist local bandit group. Such a force could gather many brave and martial people, but scholars were not very willing to come here.

In the past month or so, among those who came to seek refuge at the mountain, those whose names could be called were basically all people from the martial arts world.

Besides Zhejiang Silong and Jin Ding Huang Yue, An Daoquan also recommended an acquaintance of his in Jiankang Prefecture to Ren Yuan. This acquaintance was Wang Dingliu, who ran a tavern by the river in Jiankang Prefecture. This young man closed his tavern and went up the mountain with his father. Ren Yuan arranged for him to help Shan Tinggui and become a reserve leader of the navy.

On Yang Lin's side, this guy with good judgment not only brought Zou Yuan and Zou Run, who were familiar with him, from Dengyun Mountain, but also Leng Ning and Niu Geng from Pianshi Mountain.

Well, although he didn't bring any great generals, he was still a qualified deputy general. And Yang Lin is particularly interesting; whenever he goes out for a stroll, he always brings someone back!

This made Ren Yuan even think that he might as well let Yang Lin wander around outside every day, since he could bring all the randomly refreshed generals back to Liangshan to see first.

However, the problem remains: all these people are martial artists, not a single one is a scholar.

However, there is no way to solve this problem for the time being. After Liangshan defeated Gao Qiu, the pace of development did indeed accelerate significantly, and Ren Yuan has been trying his best to control it.

For those who came from afar but could not be picked up immediately, Liangshan had no choice but to go to Yuncheng County and have a friendly meeting with the local magistrate, who then allocated a piece of land to settle them.

To the outside world, they said that this was for Yuncheng County to resettle displaced people. This would also increase the merits of the Yuncheng County Magistrate and allow them to report to the Song court to obtain some funding. It was a win-win situation, so the old magistrate of Yuncheng naturally agreed to Liangshan's proposal.

Anyway, as long as Liangshan doesn't attack my Yuncheng, we can all be good friends.

"Brother, we need more territory! Jeju Island is taking shape now, but it's not enough. We can start planning our offensive on Kyushu Island and the surrounding islands!"

On this day, Xiao Jiasui proposed to Ren Yuan that he contact them to launch an attack on overseas bases as soon as possible.

What was the Song court's reaction?

Ren Yuan now wants to know who Song Ting's main adversary is.

"According to news from Tokyo, the Emperor hates Fang La the most right now because the loss of the Emperor Taizu's dragon robe has caused the entire court to lose face! Therefore, the court will focus its attention on Fang La for a period of time."

"Not enough. Go and inform Gao Kan to put in a good word for Zhao Ji and get him to start a war with Wang Qing as well."

Looking at the map, Ren Yuan thought that if the imperial court launched three armies to deal with Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La at the same time, then Liangshan would be under much less pressure.

"Don't worry, brother. Wang Qing can't escape. The imperial court has also found out about his Tiger Devouring the Moon Stele. He can't get away with it."

Hsiao Chia-hui said, "Everyone, don't run away!"

"Very good, then let's make preparations. First, let Sun Li and Ou Peng take Tsushima and other small islands. Once our main force arrives, we will immediately attack Kyushu! We must take Kyushu in the summer! Then, in the autumn, we will invade Korea!"

"Yes! No problem, I'll go back and discuss the battle plan with Guan Zhong."

Xiao Jiahui nodded to indicate that she understood, and then continued to ask Ren Yuan:

"Brother, what did you say you were going to do in the army last time?"

"I want to bestow titles upon them! I want to appoint the Five Tiger Generals upon the Imperial Guards, the cavalry, the infantry, and the naval forces! We're about to fight the foreign tribes, and I hope the morale of my Liangshan army will remain high!"

Ren Yuan became even more excited when this was mentioned.

"The Five Tiger Generals?"

Xiao Jiahui was also taken aback. Goodness, her brother was becoming more and more domineering.

Other people's "Five Tiger Generals" only have five.

But what about Liangshan? They actually want to appoint five tiger generals for their guards, cavalry, infantry, and navy!

That's the Twenty Tigers...

"Yes, the Five Tiger Generals! We'll appoint the Five Tiger Generals before we conquer Kyushu! We'll appoint more generals after we take Kyushu and prepare to attack Goryeo!"

Ren Yuan shared his opinion with Xiao Jiasui:

"I want my brothers to feel immense pride in these titles! This is Liangshan's way of giving back to our brothers!"

“Brother, most of our brothers in Liangshan are warriors. They are all excellent in battle and are all heroes.”

Xiao Jiahui laughed, "Brother, you're overthinking it."

"This time, with the opportunity to fight the Japanese pirates and make our name known overseas, everyone will definitely be eager to jump in like tigers."

"If you were to create another Five Tiger Generals now, the brothers would be fighting like madmen."

Ren Yuan also smiled.

"Hehe, that's perfect, Lao Xiao. If the brothers get carried away while killing the Japanese pirates, I won't just not punish them, I'll reward them!"

"If we can wipe out all the Japanese pirates, I'll appoint the Five Tiger Generals again!"

"Brother, there's something I've always had that I don't quite understand."

Xiao Jiahui looked at Ren Yuan and asked:

"As far as I know, my brother only encountered Japanese pirates once in his life, on his way to Pinghai Road Army. But when he talked about those people just now, he was filled with a strong murderous aura."

“Brother, you are not a bloodthirsty person, and you mostly try to reform the government's troops through labor and rehabilitation. But when the Japanese pirates and Koreans are mentioned, your murderous aura becomes very strong. I am very curious, how did these Japanese pirates and Koreans offend you?”

Xiao Jiahui's words left Ren Yuan speechless for a moment.

He really couldn't tell Xiao Jiasui that if he hadn't come to this era, these Japanese pirates would have brought terrible disasters to the Chinese land hundreds of years later.

Those shameless Koreans will become thieves of Chinese culture centuries later.

"Old Xiao, do you believe me?"

Ren Yuan asked Xiao Jiasui.

"Is that even a question? When I left with my brother back then, I gave my life for him."

"The Japanese pirates are a pack of wolves with treacherous ambitions. I once dreamed that they brought immense disaster to China! They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities!"

"As for the Koreans, they are a bunch of ingrates and thieves!"

"so……"

"Brother, there's no need to say anything more."

Xiao Jiahui interrupted Ren Yuan directly, and anger was rising in his eyes.

“I believe what my brother says! Since my brother says that the Japanese pirates have wolfish ambitions, then they do have wolfish ambitions!”

"Brother, I'll go to Kyushu Island with you this time! Let me handle this extermination of our clan!"

(PS: There might be more later, so you can go to sleep first and watch it when you wake up.)
