It's not exactly good...
Chapter 1411 Song Jiang Makes the Match
These bandits were granted amnesty.
In the Northern Song Dynasty,
It's actually not a very difficult thing.
Since the establishment of the Song court,
Because for the grassroots people
The exploitation of farmers, in particular, is too severe.
It happens almost every year.
Throughout the world,
Peasant uprisings will always occur.
To deal with these troublesome people,
The Song court could not exterminate them all.
The only option is to kill the ringleader of the rioters.
Then the remaining people were pacified.
Send them into the army on the other side.
Entering the Xiang Army,
At least they won't starve to death.
These rebellious people,
Naturally, they could only nod.
As the saying goes,
Murderers and arsonists accept amnesty.
This refers to the people of the Northern Song Dynasty.
As for Liu Guang and Song Jiang...
They naturally did not want to be granted amnesty in this way.
If it were a surrender ceremony like this,
Even if it succeeds in the end,
Those who led them,
They would all be beheaded by the imperial court.
As for the remaining henchmen...
They would all be included in the Xiang Army.
Liu Guang and Song Jiang had worked hard.
The purpose, of course, was not to smash one's own head off.
What they want is to get promoted and make a fortune!
After the surrender,
Even if they can't get into the Imperial Guard,
At the very least, one must have a good career path.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song,
Here is a good example.
Those were the ten most famous military governors.
These ten people were Wang Huan, the military governor of Henan and Hebei.
Xu Jing, the military governor of Shangdang and Taiyuan,
Wang Wende, the military governor of Hongnong in northern Beijing,
Mei Zhan, the military governor of Yingzhou and Runan,
Zhang Kai, the military governor of Anping in Zhongshan,
Yang Wen, the military governor of Lingling in Jiangxia,
Han Cunbao, the military governor of Yanmen Pass in Yunzhong
Li Congji, the military governor of Hanyang in Longxi,
Xiang Yuanzhen, the military governor of Langya Pengcheng,
Jing Zhong, the military governor of Qinghe and Tianshui!
These ten men were originally bandits from the outlaw world.
They had all done rebellion before.
After the surrender,
Yet he was able to have a smooth career in his officialdom.
He rose to the rank of Jiedushi (military governor)!
It can be said,
These ten people,
They are the role models for those in the world who want to be granted amnesty and become officials, and for bandits and outlaws.
Song Jiang and Liu Guang,
Naturally, everyone hoped that they could be like these ten people.
Not only was the surrender successful,
He eventually became a high-ranking official in the Song court.
They just wanted to be granted amnesty.
But it is clearly much more difficult.
The primary requirement is
It means you must have someone in the central government.
Liu Guang served in Zhao Ji's court.
I don't know many high-ranking officials.
other people,
People like Chen Xizhen,
They are all quite similar.
The Gou brothers
Although their father had previously served as a General of the Palace Guard in the imperial court,
But then...
He offended Tong Guan, who was at the height of his power at the time.
If the two of them were to come forward...
If Tong Guan gets involved...
The plan to grant amnesty was doomed to fail.
Secondly,
The two brothers did not go to Tokyo with their father to take up an official post.
That high-ranking official in Tokyo
They didn't know many people either.
So for the past six months or so,
Although Liu Guang was determined to be granted amnesty,
However, they were troubled by the lack of connections.
No idea where to start!
Now Song Jiang says,
He has already contacted Prefect Murong of Qingzhou.
Regarding this Prefect Murong,
Liu Guang also knew some of it.
They knew that this person was the elder brother of Consort Murong, who was currently favored by Emperor Huizong of Tang.
Although his official position is not high now.
However, this Prefect Murong was actually the Emperor's brother-in-law.
He wanted to go to the palace to see Zhao Ji.
Compared to others,
Both are much easier.
Other than that,
Murong Yanda also had close ties with high-ranking officials in Tokyo.
If he helps...
Regarding the matter of the imperial pardon,
That means we've succeeded halfway.
Not to mention,
Next year, we can join forces to wipe out that detestable Liangshan!
Liu Guang was tempted.
Just thinking about that town that was robbed by Erlong Mountain...
However, it was a bit embarrassing.
They are from Yuanbi Village.
They now rely entirely on protection money collected from nearby villages and towns to make a living.
If this matter cannot be resolved,
From now on, the protection fee for Yuanbi Village...
I'm afraid it won't be so easy to collect!
Song Jiang was a very shrewd and clever person.
Upon seeing Liu Guangde's struggling expression,
She immediately guessed what he was thinking.
"Chief Liu,"
Song Jiang cupped his hands and said,
"This incident was indeed a mistake on our part at Erlong Mountain."
"But this 100,000 strings of cash is in gold and silver,"
"But it's not something we can produce immediately."
