Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Jeju Island.

"Commander Ou! Commander Ou!..."

Almost every morning, the people near the Kunpeng Army camp on Jeju Island can hear a loud and rhythmic shout.

Well, this shout naturally came from Qiu Yu, the current magistrate of Jeju Island. This guy is really thriving in Jeju Island right now, enjoying his magistrate job to the fullest and forgetting all about home.

Now, if you ask him anything, all he talks about is "our Jeju Island," "our people of Jeju Island"...

Where is the trace of her initial reluctance when she first arrived in Jeju Island?

But while he was happy, Ou Peng was in a much worse situation.

Originally, the Kunpeng Army was merely a garrison on Jeju Island, responsible for defending the transport of supplies between Jeju Island and Goryeo, nothing more.

But ever since Qiu Yu truly took on the role of the magistrate of Jeju Island, the Kunpeng Army has had an unusually large amount of work to do.

On Jeju Island, whenever there was any need for manpower, Qiu Yu would immediately come to Ou Peng.

Ou Peng's Kunpeng Army is now not only a combat force on Jeju Island, but also a police force, engineering force, and mediation force on Jeju Island...

Ou Peng felt that if things continued like this, his Kunpeng Army would soon become the second Tao Zongwang's engineering army.

That won't do, the Kunpeng Army is a navy...

"Magistrate Qiu! If you're going to come back with nothing but trivial matters today, then don't bother me! Can you give me something big to do?"

Ou Peng grumbled as he came out of the military camp. The moment he saw Qiu Yu, he raised his foot and pretended to kick him!

“Commander Ou, my brother said that the Liangshan soldiers are the people’s own army, they come from the people and go back to the people, serving the people. Moreover, my brother also said that no matter how big or small the matter is, we must take it seriously!”

"What's wrong with Commander Ou now? Are you going to take back what my brother said..."

But whenever Ou Peng had such thoughts, Qiu Yu would come over with a grin and tell him about what Ren Yuan had said. And now Qiu Yu calls Ren Yuan "brother" all the time, more affectionately than anyone else!

"Brother Qiu, let me tell you, you're slandering me! Slandering me!"

Ou Peng couldn't argue with Qiu Yu, nor could he fight with the scholars, so he had no choice but to continue following Qiu Yu's arrangements.

Meanwhile, Qiu Yu, who was doing a good job on Jeju Island, had a lot of energy. So every few days, he would take a bunch of small tasks to Ou Peng's camp and call Ou Peng out to do some work!

After several attempts, Ou Peng had no choice but to indulge Qiu Yu.

Who is it that Qiu Yu is the only proper civil official on Jeju Island right now? Ou Peng, as the head of the military, doesn't pamper Qiu Yu and drives him away. Who will handle the affairs of Jeju Island then?

"This kid Qiu shouted at Ou like that, and he didn't get beaten up?"

The locals living near the military camp are used to this kind of thing, but newcomers often come to Jeju Island, so they are still very curious when they see this scene.

Take Cheng Wanli, for example. This former prefect of Dongping Prefecture has been in Jeju Island for a while, but he still hasn't recovered from the situation there.

For example, how dare the magistrate of Jeju speak to the highest-ranking military commander in Jeju like that?

Isn't he afraid of losing his life?

"Brother, we're a team of one scholar and one warrior, have we ever argued?"

Wang Bing naturally came with Cheng Wanli. Currently, the two brothers are living together on Jeju Island in their old age. Cheng Wanli reasonably suspects that Ren Yuan has forgotten about them.

"We have a good relationship, but they don't look like brothers either. How come there are no factions or conflicts among the leaders under Ren Yuan?"

Cheng Wanli couldn't quite understand it because the factional problems in the Song Dynasty court were very serious. For example, Cheng Wanli had previously belonged to Tong Guan's "Tong Party". There were also Cai Party, Yang Party, and so on in the court. In fact, there were many cases of factions scheming against each other in the Song Dynasty.

"Hey, Lord Cheng, what bad things are you saying about Liangshan behind our backs this time?"

“Chou Yu, you need to be precise with your words. Now that my brother has become king, we can be more casual with our colleagues, but Lord Cheng is an outsider. We need to be more formal and tell him, ‘Lord Cheng, do you have any advice for my Dayi?’”

Cheng Wanli was so excited that he didn't notice that Ou Peng and Qiu Yu had come over hand in hand sometime earlier, and the two were even teasing each other.

"Traitorous wretch! He even claims to be king of Dayi? How dare he openly rebel..."

Cheng Wanli was interrupted by Ou Peng before he could finish speaking.

"Lord Cheng, the Song Dynasty is incompetent. So many kings have claimed the title over the years: Western Xia, Dali, Tian Hu, Wang Qing... Aren't they all examples?"

"If your master can't handle the position of ruler of the world, then he shouldn't be occupying it. He should quickly give it to my brother. My brother is clearly much better than your master!"

"Besides, Prefect Cheng, this isn't your first time on Jeju Island. Don't you know the situation of the people on Jeju Island? Isn't it much better than that of your Zhao Song dynasty?"

Cheng Wanli was speechless, because what Ou Peng said was true.

So, unable to out-argue Ou Peng, he could only turn to Qiu Yu:

"Chou Yu, is it? I heard you're someone who actually took the imperial examinations. How come you don't cherish your reputation? You're so happy being a magistrate for Liangshan? There's no place in our Great Song Dynasty where you can be a magistrate?"

"You're right to say that, Prefect. It's true that I was only able to come to Liangshan because I couldn't be a county magistrate in the Song Dynasty and was demoted to a commoner."

Qiu Yu no longer hides his background and openly admits it.

"Although I was a county magistrate in the Song Dynasty, I was always hampered in my work, and there were many ideas I dared not express!"

“But Liangshan is different. Here, I can freely use my talents to benefit the people, and no one will restrict me! The people on this island also recognize me. Prefect Cheng, isn't this what scholars pursue? I have already obtained it here, so why should I think about other places?”

Qiu Yu's words were very direct, but they were all true, leaving Cheng Wanli speechless.

"Alright, alright, everyone knows Liangshan is good, and everyone knows you're good to the people, but my elder brother, as the former prefect, can't he say a few words about you?"

Wang Bing stepped in to defuse the awkward situation for Cheng Wanli, and then asked Ou Peng:

"Commander Ou Peng, right? Then may I ask your chieftain, oh no, your king, how he intends to deal with the two of us?"

"Steward Wang speaks much better; at least he speaks better than Prefect Cheng."

Ou Peng was quite satisfied with Wang Bing's attitude. Wang Bing was pragmatic, and Liangshan would like him very much!

Moreover, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure; Wang Bing's experience and the like are still very valuable to Liangshan.

"By the way, it's not really a matter of punishment. Anyway, my brother said in his letter not long ago that Prefect Cheng and Steward Wang should not be wronged!"

"You two were prefects and chief stewards in the Song Dynasty; we won't treat you badly here! As I said, a prefect is still a prefect! A chief steward is still a chief steward!"
