As a Zhiduoxing of Liangshanpo, Wu Yong is obviously enough. The whole people up and down Liangshanpo feel that the military division has been excellent and very powerful. At the beginning, Wu Yong was still trembling. With the passage of time, he also felt that he was enough in many praises.

In fact, it seems to be true. Under the planning of Wu Yong, one after another Wu Zhou generals went to Liangshanpo for one reason or another and became a hero in Juyi hall. The arrival of these people not only brought force, but also raised the reputation of Liangshanpo one by one.

However, fame is a double-edged sword. Not everyone or every organization necessarily needs fame. Generally speaking, if a thief's fame is so big that everyone in the world knows what he looks like, is it really a good thing for the thief?

I'm afraid not.

At the beginning, Liangshanpo could only be regarded as a local bandit. Even the local yamen did not regard Liangshanpo as a bandit. Some people may wonder why bandits were easy to breed in the feudal era. In fact, there is a very important factor among them, which is the concept of family, country and the world.

The so-called "family, country and world" is not only a well-known meaning, but also a meaning, that is, in local areas, the family power often exceeds the official energy. Unless it is a fundamental policy of some countries, other laws can not control the family. In other words, the family can solve what happens within the family itself, There is no need for officials to bother.

When a family has a small population, its resources are quite poor, and many things need to be worried by the Yamen. However, when the family becomes a family, after decades or even hundreds of years of reproduction, the population of a family will certainly increase from dozens to hundreds, or even thousands. If the family happens to be very rich, When there is a certain social status, the families of thousands of people may affect the lives of tens of thousands of people.

What is the concept of tens of thousands of people in the era of backward productivity? At least the size of a county, the size of a county may be less than tens of thousands of people.

In other words, if you encounter such a large family, even if the county magistrate takes office, he can do very few things. In ancient times, why did local officials first visit local elders when they came to office? These elders are actually the heads of families. Only with the recognition and support of these heads can the county magistrate let go of his work, Otherwise, there will be such a situation that the government order can not go out of the county government.

This is not alarmist. The Chinese nation has attached great importance to the concept of family since ancient times. In later generations, when that great leader established a new country, why must he control the population? Is it really because the place can't feed these people?

Of course, this is one of the reasons, and another reason is to completely break the existence of families by limiting the birth rate. The emergence of the only child makes the family inevitably enter a state of division, tearing and finally complete death. Without the obstruction of the family, the government's decree can be unblocked.

On the one hand, the existence of Liangshanpo is due to the terrain. The vast reed marshes can not be controlled by a small county yamen at all, and the families living around have natural advantages. Therefore, the local yamen early gave up the management of Liangshanpo. In their view, no matter how tossed inside, as long as they don't make trouble, it's better to do more than less.

In this way, the bandits in Liangshanpo actually had a good life in the early stage. They closed the door and said that the boss would not object. If they have always been like this, they will not invade each other with the local government. You take your Yangguan road and China's single wooden bridge.

But the most terrible thing in the world is ambition, human ambition.

When one of the bandits in Liangshanpo has a global vision and focuses on a higher ideal, it is doomed to the tragedy of Liangshanpo.

This is why Wu Yong appeared. Only those who want to win the sky feel that they need not only the sword, but also the brain to command the sword.

With a sword and a brain, how can you know if you are strong without actual combat? Liangshanpo began to attack frequently. They first conquered the villages around the reed marshes.

Each village has its own backbone and style, but for Liangshanpo, these are not important, the important thing is surrender. If the local yamen could surround Liangshanpo with the help of the imperial court at this stage, there would be no later Liangshanpo.

However, the local yamen are unwilling to do so. First of all, they do not have such power. It is impossible for them to control the villages around reed marsh by relying on a few yamen servants alone, and even more uncertain about the strong bandits, unless they can succeed by summoning more troops. However, the local yamen has no troops and horses, so they must report to the court to get the authority to mobilize troops and horses.

However, reporting to the court means the failure of local officials' governance. This failure is not only to take off the hat, but also may have serious consequences. Of course, local officials do not want to go from being a master to being a prisoner, so the final choice is to compromise with Liangshanpo. Most of the time, they turn a blind eye. As long as the heroes of Liangshanpo don't eat nest grass, the local government can't see anything in front of them, and even participate in Liangshanpo's actions when necessary, After all, Wu Yong's wisdom also knows the truth of slapping a sweet date. What is an official? Isn't it a bandit in a layer of skin?

Reaching a consensus with the local government is the second stage of Liangshanpo expansion.

At this stage, Liangshanpo is no longer a small local bandit. Wu wisely raised the banner of "acting for heaven". He used the power of public opinion to amplify some small mistakes made by the government in governance, kept preaching and looking for some people to prove it, so as to prove that the heroes of Liangshanpo did not gather together because of their own greed, There is a deep blood feud behind every hero, and the person who created these deep blood feuds is the imperial court and the emperor.

The inaction of the emperor and the imperial court has led to the accumulation of public resentment and the people's livelihood. Then the only way is to hold together for warmth and strive to seize the sky one day.

By this time, Liangshanpo is no longer a local bandit. They are experiencing the transformation from the second stage to the third stage, that is, the transformation from bandits to anti thieves.

Originally, Liangshanpo didn't advance so fast. Leaders including Song Jiang and Wu Yong knew that if they took big steps, they would pull eggs, but in the south, a guy called Manichaeism suddenly rose.
