…

As Cai still talked more and more and more, Song Jiang gradually heard a problem--Tsai still only talked about the drawbacks and limitations of peasant uprisings, but never mentioned the solution.

Song Jiang couldn't help asking: "General Cai understands the drawbacks and limitations of civil rebellion so well, so there must be a solution, right?"

Cai Jian smiled and said, "What leader Song wants to ask is how to prevent civil rebellion? This is too simple. As long as the people can survive and as long as no one violates their bottom line of survival, they will never rebel."

How could Song Jiang care about how to prevent peasant uprisings? What he wanted to ask is how peasant uprisings can accomplish things?

But Song Jiang is not very easy to ask about this, especially on this occasion.

And Cai still began to talk to Song Jiang about how to govern the world.

In this way, Song Jiang could not keep up with Cai Shen's ideas.

Gradually, Song Jiang finally realized that it was impossible to overthrow Zhao Song by himself alone. Even if he could overthrow Zhao Song, he would not have the chance to take Zhao Song and replace him.

Finally, the group arrived at the border between the two armies.

Cai Shen then turned around and looked at Wu Xuezhao and others who were following him, and smiled and said, "You don't have to send me off again. I believe we will see you again soon."

Song Jiang pondered for a while and also spoke: "You don't have to worry. As long as you guard Wuma Mountain, I will have nothing to do. After I leave, all the things on the mountain will be discussed and decided by Wu Xuejiao and Lu Junyi..."

Cai still did not stop Song Jiang from arranging the funeral, but waited openly for Song Jiang to make arrangements, then stretched out his hand and said, "Captain Song, please."

Song Jiang smiled and said, "General Cai, please."

Later, Cai and Song Jiang went out for a walk like friends, and walked together and walked towards the government army.

Dong Yi, who was guarding the border, led tens of thousands of troops to take Cai Jian and his party back, and then watched Wu Xuejiao and Lu Junyi lead Song Jiang's rebel army back to the mountain. He ignored him before, Cai asked Zhang Jun to take the opportunity to kill Song Jiang's rebel army.

To be honest, Cai still didn't care at all if the Song army and the Song Jiang Yi army won and lost.

Therefore, Cai still didn't say anything about Dong Yi's choice, and thanked him for accepting him back.

After completely leaving the sphere of influence of Song Jiang's rebel army, Cai Shen also breathed a sigh of relief, and then talked more freely to the way of governing the country with Song Jiang.

Before this, Cai had never talked about the way to govern the country with Yue Fei and other Jinwu soldiers. Therefore, in the eyes of Yue Fei and other Jinwu soldiers, Cai was still no different from ordinary military officers.

Until today, Yue Fei and others know why Cai still has the name of "literary writing can bring peace to the world, and martial arts can put down the horse and determine the world."

This also made Yue Fei and others admire Cai Jian even more, and even admire Cai Jian.

Song Jiang did not admire Cai Jian, but through the tip of the iceberg exposed by Cai Jian, Song Jiang could see completely how impulsive he was when he launched an uprising, and then he began to be confused...

Sudden!

The sound of horse galloping in the distance came from the distance.

Cai Jian and others stopped.

Soon, Cai Jian and others saw Wang Zongqiu and others galloping towards him.

Seeing this, Cai still smiled and said goodbye to Song Jiang: "I am only responsible for establishing a dialogue channel for recruitment. For specific recruitment matters, someone will talk to you, and we will have a date later."

...

Cai still did what he said. After handing over Song Jiang to the Hebei Recruitment Office, he returned to Zhang Liangshan. He didn't ask about how to recruit Song Jiang and his gang.

During this period, Cai still went to Zhao County to recruit more than 1,500 new recruits to complete the Jinwu army. By the way, he also secretly expanded a commanding force, making the total number of the Jinwu army reach 3,500.

In addition, Cai still had people, war horses, and strategic materials that could be extorted by Huang Qianshan, Liang Fangping and others.

The overall strength of the Jinwu Army not only did not retreat, but also increased a lot. Even Cai still could turn the Jinwu Army into a horse army if he wanted.

Such strength is actually rare among the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, which is known for its ability to conquer and fight.

From Cai Jian's various actions, it is not difficult to see that Cai Jian really doesn't want to interfere in recruiting Song Jiang's rebel army.

But sometimes things are often like this. The more Cai Jian doesn't want to be in charge of recruiting Song Jiang's rebels, the more he finds Cai Jian's head.

At the end of July, the court suddenly issued an imperial edict to Cai Shen.

"The imperial edict says: A family of loyalty and filial piety has long been given the court and the righteousness of Wu's imperial edict is clear and unpredictable. There is no slight before the light, and there is a good reputation behind it. I will use the honor of the title of the lord to use the reward of the Zhangshigu. I still say that I was the son of Shaobao, who was handsome and handsome, and was brave and brave. He broke into five horses alone to capture the loyalty of the bandit leader. I will give Tan En to the right Wu official Jeju Observer. Xi's imperial edict is ordered to play, Linzhi is outstanding, Qingsuo Zhangyi Fang's teaching, the genius clothes are brilliant, and the purple palace expresses the light of Yuqing..."

Undoubtedly, this is an imperial edict to promote Cai’s official position.

only--

There are two things that Cai still never expected:

First of all, Cai still never expected that the imperial edict for promotion to his post would come so quickly. You should know that it is not easy to get promoted to a military officer with a seventh rank or above - the right Wu Doctor is a "rbitrage", and its award must be issued a special edict. It is under the emperor's personal control and managed by the central government. The promotion of a military officer from a martial arts doctor is the biggest hurdle, corresponding to a huge change in identity and status. Therefore, the promotion of a military officer must undergo more assessments, and may even be summoned by the emperor before being awarded.

When we arrived at Cai Shen, the imperial edict for promotion was released after only half a month. The key is that Cai Shen has not yet operated, which is too strange.

In addition, Cai still never expected that Zhao Ji and the Northern Song Dynasty would be so generous this time. Not only did he upgrade himself to the 14th level of military officers, he even gave himself a full-time official to the Jeju Observer.

Remember, this is a regular official, not a remote county official.

The official rank of Yao County is only a plus for the honor of the martial rank official, and there is no need to take office, but the salary is paid according to the empty rank of Yao County.

Although the official position is also used as a false title, it means that the military officer has removed the rank of the martial arts official, and receives salary based on the rank of the official position and obtains the actual position of the corresponding military officer, which is actually the same as the rank of the martial arts official.

Therefore, Cai's observation was still very valuable. Even Cai could see from the observation envoys designated by the Northern Song Dynasty court that the Northern Song Dynasty court might allow him to station in Jeju to suppress the newly rebelled Jeju and prevent the Song Jiang's uprising from reviving.

Let me put it this way, Zhao Ji and the Northern Song Dynasty court will likely hand over all the soldiers of Jeju to Cai Shen.

By then, Cai would still be able to control tens of thousands of people in one wing.

In this way, although Cai still could not become a prince, he had the opportunity to manage the troops of a state - he did not have the power to transfer troops, and the power to transfer military troops belonged to the Privy Council, and when the transfer was transferred, it was usually controlled by literati and eunuchs supervised the army. In fact, there was only training and control power.

But this was already a great power in the Song Dynasty, which was trying hard to limit the power of military officers.

This is also the power that Cai has always pursued.

Cai still didn't expect that this power would be given so quickly, so suddenly, so strange.

Later, by bribing the eunuch, Cai Ding realized that his position was promoted so smoothly, which was closely related to the recruitment of Song Jiang's rebel army.

Cai still sent Yan Qing out to inquire and found out that it was not smooth for Hebei recruitment and resolute army to recruit Song Jiang.

It is not to say that Song Jiang's rebel army did not accept the recruitment - the food was almost out of stock on Wuma Mountain, and Song Jiang was also hostage. Therefore, the people on Wuma Mountain were still very active in recruitment. They even sent Chai to run back and forth to discuss the recruitment matters with the Hebei Recruitment Office.

but--

Despite this, the consultation was still not smooth.

The original meaning of the Northern Song Dynasty court was: Newly surrendered people should not be directly awarded without merit. They can wait for the future to conquer, establish merits, and receive more rewards. Nowadays, there are still tens of thousands of rebels, so they have to be guarded. The army and horses of Song Jiang and others can be dismantled and divided into five routes, Shandong and Hebei, and transferred them to separate them.

This is actually the inevitable idea and idea of ​​the Northern Song Dynasty court. If people are invited to rest, their hearts may not be attracted to rest. Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty court's vigilance is understandable.

But the idea of ​​the soldiers of Song Jiangyi was not like this: when we surrendered to the court, we never saw any official titles, so we wanted to disperse our brothers and others. We all followed each other in life and death, and sweared to let go! If we had to do this, then we might as well hold on to the end.

As a result, the negotiations between the two sides were in a deadlock.

Later, the Hebei Zhaobing Office reported these situations to the Northern Song Dynasty court.

Wang Fu and Tong Guanyi discussed and believed that the reason why the Song Jiang rebel army dared to ask for a price was because the people in Hebei recruiting the ranks were not prestige enough and could not shock the Song Jiang rebel army. This matter still needed to be eliminated half of the Song Jiang rebel army. Cai, who went deep into the tiger's den, took action to capture Song Jiang, was able to completely resolve the problem.

After several rounds of fighting with Song Jiang's rebels, the group of people in Hebei, who had no progress at all, were afraid that they would not reach an agreement with Song Jiang's rebels, which prompted Song Jiang's rebels to rebel again, and then all their previous efforts were wasted. Moreover, the people in Hebei's rebels did not expect that the Northern Song Dynasty court's intention was not to recruit Song Jiang's rebels, but to disperse Song Jiang's rebels and become no threat. In this way, the difficulty of recruiting Song Jiang's rebels became infinitely greater, and even the people in Hebei's rebels dared not take on this task.

Therefore, after discussion and shirking the responsibility of the Northern Song Dynasty court and the Hebei Guidian Office, the matter of recruiting the Song Jiang Yijun was pushed to Cai Jian again.

What was unexpected was that Song Jiang's righteous army actually agreed to let Cai Jian come to discuss the conditions for recruitment with them.

The Northern Song Dynasty court meant to give Song Jiang a false position to appease the envoy, the level of a Wude doctor.

Therefore, Cai Jian, who was responsible for recruiting and intimidating Song Jiang's rebel army, could not be of lower level than Song Jiang.

On this basis, the Northern Song Dynasty court promoted Cai Shen to a right-wing military official, Jeju Observer, who could defeat Song Jiang.

In addition, just like Cai Shen guessed that the Northern Song Dynasty court had already thought that if Cai Shen really could recruit Song Jiang's rebel army, he would transfer Song Jiang's rebel army to Cai Shen's name and be controlled by Cai Shen...
