Chapter 187: Zhang Jie: Instructor Luan, you are the talent my Liang Shan needs~

"My husband, my husband's parents have already passed away, and I only have my husband to rely on.

But my husband went before... and hasn't come back since, I'm afraid, I'm afraid he is already gone."

The young lady sobbed as she spoke, unable to speak clearly.

She didn't explain what her husband went to do, but it couldn't be more obvious:

It was nothing more than responding to the Zhu family's call as a servant of the Zhu Family Manor to resist Liang Shan's attack.

But because the leader of Liang Shan was right here, she didn't dare to say it, fearing to anger Zhang Jie.

Who knew what this Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu, who looked gentle and

human-like, was like in private?

As a weak woman, she could only try her best not to provoke Zhang Jie.

"Sigh..."

Zhang Jie, who learned the truth, couldn't help but sigh.

Although he, besides personally going into battle, brought out "high-tech" weapons like cannons and muskets,

greatly reducing the time for Liang Shan to break through the Zhu Family Manor;

the servants of the Zhu Family Manor also fled in disarray, and there was no bloody tug-of-war,

but war is war, where are there no deaths?

Or rather, it is precisely because of the development of technology and

the increasing power of weapons that the efficiency of killing is getting higher and higher.

Facing soldiers wearing dozens of jin of heavy armor, cold weapons like knives can't kill people even if they cut a few gaps,

and you have to use heavy weapons like hammers, whips, and maces to open such iron cans.

But once a cannon comes out, even such a fully armed iron can will be blasted into meat mud.

In the First and Second World Wars, millions of people died on the battlefield alone,

a number unimaginable to people in the cold weapon era.

Let alone arming millions of people, feudal dynasties couldn't even mobilize millions of people to be soldiers.

What he can do is to better control this power,

end this war as soon as possible, and let fewer people die in this war.

Whether it is his side or the other side, let fewer people die.

Of course, some extremely wicked guys are not included.

Zhang Jie, who came back to his senses, asked softly: "Zhang Niangzi,

I would like to invite you to work in my house; I wonder what you think?"

Although this young lady was not successfully bullied by the several degenerates, her reputation was already ruined,

and if she stayed here, she didn't know what kind of things she would face.

And her husband was already dead, and she had no reliance. A weak woman,

especially a weak woman without a son, is easily bullied by the so-called village elders.

"I, I thank the Zhang Zhaizhu!"

This young lady was obviously also smart, and she thought of this, so she bowed down.

Zhang Jie then left two personal guards here to help this young lady pack her things.

"Brother Wu Er, Wang Er and the others can also be considered fierce warriors in my army; privately, just compensate them according to the standard of those who died in battle."

Thinking that Wang Er and the others were indeed not afraid of life and death when fighting, Zhang Jie finally moved with compassion.

"But this money cannot come from the military account; it should come from my private account."

Zhang Jie added a patch to avoid forming a precedent, so that others would want to imitate it later.

How the money in the military public account is used must have a reason,

but he can use the money in his private account however he wants.

This is probably one of the reasons why those emperors in the Ming Dynasty were so keen on grabbing money from the public account of the Ministry of Revenue.

A certain Emperor Wan Shou, Emperor Feiyuan, Emperor Zhongxiao (Jiajing):

My money, they take two million, I take one million, and I still have to thank them?

My money, my money! (Jiajing was furious)

"I thank the Young Master on behalf of Wang Er and the others."

Wu Song's face was full of emotion.

Even the personal guards beside Zhang Jie were moved:

They naturally knew that Zhang Jie's maintenance of rules was correct,

but who would be willing to follow a leader who only knows how to do things rigidly according to rules,

and doesn't talk about half a point of human warmth?

After all, people are not sages, who can be without mistakes?

Zhang Jie waved his hand; his tour of patrolling the Zhu Family Manor was not over yet.

He wanted to see if there were any other guys who violated military discipline like those few degenerates.

Today, he wanted to kill this unhealthy trend well!

At the same time, several degenerates were also escorted to the execution ground.

The news of Zhang Jie burning the account books also spread,

so the fear of the people of the Zhu Family Manor toward Liang Shan was much smaller,

and the posture was not small, and many idlers gathered, intending to eat melons and watch the show.

"What did these people commit?"

The idlers watching were driven by curiosity.

"I don't know, but looking at this posture, I'm afraid the matter is not small."

Someone pointed to the soldiers standing behind the tightly bound Wang Er and others, with faces as cold as iron and stone,

and also holding a strange-looking weapon in their hands.

They didn't know this weapon before, but after the battle just now, they knew:

Although these guys are strange-looking, their power is really not bad, far exceeding ordinary bows and crossbows.

Whenever it smokes, the thing it points to, whether it is armor,

or wood and stone, will have a big hole!

The Second Young Master Zhu Hu and Third Young Master Zhu Biao of the Zhu family both died at the hands of this thing.

The only surviving eldest young master, Zhu Long, also had his ear shot off,

and then had his head cut off by a big monk from Liang Shan.

And according to these Liang Shan soldiers, this thing is called a "gun"!

"Wang Er... and others bullied women, violated our Liang Shan military order, the crime is unforgivable, and they are sentenced to be shot!"

The military judge read out the verdict on Wang Er and the others coldly.

"Ready!"

Swish, swish!

The soldiers behind Wang Er and others turned their muzzles and aimed at the back of their heads.

"Fire!"

Following the military judge's order, the soldiers pulled the triggers,

and with a few "bang, bang, bang" gunshots, Wang Er and others fell into a pool of blood.

The high-power lead pellets instantly stirred up their brains and cerebellum,

letting them leave this world without a trace of pain.

This was Zhang Jie's last bit of pity for them.

"Just because of this little thing, you want to kill these fierce warriors who dare to fight and kill?"

The servants below were in an uproar.

Isn't it just bullying a few women? What does this count for?

Let alone bandits, even if the Great Song army captures an enemy city,

it is common for them not to seal the knives for several days, killing, setting fires, and robbing.

But more people's hearts became strange:

This Liang Shan army seems to be different from other armies...

"Lord, Instructor Luan wants to see you."

Not long after Zhang Jie carefully patrolled a circle, Lu Zhishen came to report in a muffled voice.

"Master Lu, have you persuaded him?"

A smile appeared on Zhang Jie's face.

This Luan Tingyu is really a talent, famous for his high martial arts,

bravery in battle, and also resourcefulness.

Under his command and garrison, the surrounding villages, towns, and mountain strongholds were all subdued, and the Zhu Family Manor thus became famous in one area.

Du Xing, the general manager of Li Family Manor, known as "Ghost Face," called him "having the courage of ten thousand men."

In Water Margin, his main achievements include:

Fighting with "Cloud-Touching Golden Wings" Ou Peng, and knocking him off his horse with a meteor hammer.

Fighting with "Thunder Fire" Qin Ming, they were evenly matched for more than 20 rounds,

and then he feigned defeat to lure Qin Ming into an ambush with a tripping rope and captured him.

Indirectly capturing "Fire-Eyed Lion" Deng Fei who tried to rescue Qin Ming.

It can be said that both his reputation and achievements are not inferior to the top ten heroes of Liang Shan.

Water Margin says that he died in the chaotic army when Song Jiang attacked the Zhu Family Manor three times,

but the novel did not clearly explain his specific cause of death and who killed him,

only hinting through Song Jiang's words: "It's just a pity that Luan Tingyu, that good hero, was killed!"

This fuzzy treatment makes Luan Tingyu's ending a headless case, leaving room for imagination for later generations.

And in other derivative works, his ending is also different:

In "Water Margin Sequel," Luan Tingyu escapes from the Zhu Family Manor,

and eventually becomes the Five Tiger General and Minister of War of the Siam Kingdom.

And in "Dang Kou Zhi," he joins the team to conquer Liang Shan,

captures Liang Shan heroes like Sun Li alive, and after destroying Liang Shan, is named the General Manager of Yanzhou, Shandong.

In general, this Luan Tingyu is a talent who is both civil and military,

who can ride a horse and fight, and can train and command troops.

And Zhang Jie has the ambition to support the world, take the Great Song,

Great Liao, and Western Xia and replace them, and what he lacks most is talent.

Zhang Jie: Instructor Luan, you are the talent my Liang Shan needs~

That is, he can't find enough talent to control and govern the world.

Otherwise, Zhang Jie would have long let Song Huizong and Emperor Tianzuo experience the small shock of one person breaking an army.

Song Huizong and Emperor Tianzuo let out a roar of shock and anger like the "Weeping God of Death" Bu Jingyun:

Don't come over!

After Luan Tingyu was captured by Lu Zhishen, Zhang Jie let Lu Zhishen go to persuade him to surrender.

Now that Lu Zhishen came to report, I'm afraid there was good news.

"Lord, I'm afraid you need to go and see for yourself."

Facing the high-spirited Zhang Jie, Lu Zhishen smiled bitterly.

"Oh?"

"Then let's go and meet this instructor."

Zhang Jie also became interested and immediately went to the side room where Luan Tingyu was detained. ===== CHAPTER 188 =====
