The hard work paid off.
Wang Yin led his people and searched door to door for two days, and finally found Zhang Shuye and his family in the cellar of a commoner's house.
In fact, the owner of this house is not an ordinary person, but Zhang Shuye himself.
Zhang Shuye had secretly purchased this house a long time ago, but he used the name of a close friend.
This cellar was also specially dug out later, just to prevent situations like this from happening and to use them as a refuge for the whole family.
It was probably Wei Yu's plan.
When the Liangshan soldiers opened the cellar and appeared in front of Zhang Shuye, Zhang Shuye closed his eyes in pain and sighed, "Oh, I still can't escape this disaster."
After speaking, he led his family out of the cellar without using any soldiers.
When Lin Chong saw Zhang Shuye in the former prefecture of Zhang Shuye, he laughed loudly and said, "It's so hard for me to find Zhang Shuye.
You and I have been close friends for a long time and we finally meet today."
"Master Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you.
I really didn't expect Master Lin to value me so much.
He even closed the city gate for four days just to search for me.
You are really persistent," Zhang Shuye said with ridicule.
"Hahahaha, when Lin was in Liangshan, he had heard for a long time that Governor Zhang was an honest and upright official, so he wanted to ask Governor Zhang for help, and he never gave up looking for him.
Although this move is somewhat disturbing to the people, Lin thinks it is worth it for the sake of Prefect Zhang.”
Lin Chong's words were extremely sincere.
Zhang Shuye could be said to be a very capable and loyal minister, a talent that Lin Chong really wanted to use for his own use.
"Thank you very much, Master Lin, for your appreciation.
However, after this incident, I am determined to serve as an official.
If Master Lin really has this intention, please leave me and your family.
I will be grateful."
According to historical records, Zhang Shuye was ambushed together with Song Huizong during the Jingkang Disgrace, but he was extremely strong and could not bear the humiliation and hanged himself on the way.
Lin Chong knew that Zhang Shuye had the arrogance of an ancient scholar and could not push too hard, so he smiled and said, "Since Zhang Taishou is not willing to give in for the time being, Lin will no longer push.
However, the world is currently in chaos.
In order to prevent the eunuch and his family from being harmed by Xiaoxiao, please stay in Jeju temporarily.
Don’t worry, Lin has already prepared a quiet courtyard for the prefect, and all the necessary items are ready, so the prefect can move in with peace of mind.”
Zhang Shuye frowned after hearing this.
He knew the meaning of Lin Chong's words, which was just to imprison him.
But it's normal to think about it.
Now that he is a prisoner of Liangshan, Lin Chong is lucky enough not to harm him, and he can't force too much.
"Okay, in that case, I would like to thank Master Lin for your support."
Although Zhang Shuye felt helpless, he could only agree when he thought that his family was still here.
In the Battle of Jeju, nearly 10,000 Liangshan soldiers died.
Nearly half of the deaths occurred while blocking Deng Zongbi and Xin Congzhong.
In addition, Lieutenant Chi Sunxin also died in that battle.
But the gains from this victory were also huge.
In the First Battle of Jeju, officers and soldiers were captured, police officers were arrested, and there were nearly 40,000 government officials.
Jeju is a big city, and Zhang Shuye is a good official.
He makes Jeju very wealthy, which also allows Liangshan to seize countless money, food and weapons.
Most importantly, nearly 20,000 war horses were seized in the city.
Most of these war horses were brought by Deng Zongbi and others, and a small part were original to Jeju.
The seizure of these war horses can be said to be a huge surprise.
As for the people of Jeju, after a series of efforts by Lin Chong, they have slowly begun to accept the existence of Liangshan and live a life of the past.
The shops on the streets have begun to open one after another, and the number of pedestrians has gradually increased.

After Lin Chong occupied Jeju, in addition to a series of measures to calm the people, he also did two major things.
The first thing was to put up a big flag in the city with the four characters "Eliminate Violence and Peace" on it, officially recruiting troops from all over the world.
Liangshan was already famous, but now it was raising flags of insurrection to recruit righteous people, and defectors gathered like rain.
Among them are local braves, common people, heroes, heroes, and even leaders from other mountains who came with their troops, and they are really prosperous.
The second thing was that Lin Chong transferred another 50,000 troops and leaders from Liangshan.
Liangshan originally had an army of 200,000, but Wang Yin attacked Jizhou and took away 50,000, Lin Chong attacked Qingzhou and took away 70,000, and later Li Jun went to Dengzhou and took another 3,000, so Liangshan had less than 80,000 troops left in total.
This time Lin Chong transferred another 50,000 people, leaving less than 30,000 people to guard Liangshan Dazhai.
However, there are no strong enemies around Liangshan now, and Jeju and Qingzhou have been owned by Liangshan, so leaving 30,000 people to guard it seems too much. .
As for the leaders who will be transferred, Shi Wengong will definitely come.
When the struggle for hegemony begins, if a general like Shi Wengong is left to guard a small Liangshan, it will be a waste of natural resources.
Among the others, there were Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing from the five great strategists, all the Thirteen Tiger Cavalry, all the Eight Flying Cavalry except Hu Sanniang, all the Eight Great Divine Generals, all the Vajra War Generals, and all the Thirteen Pioneer Envoys of the Infantry Army. , Yan Qing and Duan Jingzhu from the Intelligence Battalion, Yang Lin from the Communications Battalion, plus Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Huangfu Duan and Yu Baosi.
The remaining brothers continued to stay in Liangshan, led by Hu Sanniang, Hu Cheng, and Zhang Shun.
Cao Zhengtong joined the military and other brothers assisted.
Among these four people, Hu Sanniang, needless to say, was Lin Chong's wife.
Although she was a female, she had strong martial arts skills and her status as the sister-in-law, so it was reasonable for her to take charge of the affairs of the village.
And Hu Cheng is Hu Sanniang's brother, Lin Chong's uncle, so convincing the public is not a problem.
Not to mention Zhang Shun, Lin Chong's brother, an old man from Liangshan, and the most recognized leader of the navy besides Li Jun.
As for Cao Zheng, he was Lin Chong's disciple, and he was also quick-witted.
Although he was ranked last among the five great military advisors, there was no problem in assisting the other three in managing Liangshan.
Therefore, although it seems that the strength of the generals who stayed in Liangshan has become weaker, it reassures Lin Chong.
Lin Chong does not think there is anything wrong with nepotism.
When going on an expedition, the people who guard the home may not necessarily be the best, but they must be the most loyal.
As for Yuncheng, Lin Chong transferred back Guan Sheng and Fan Rui, and asked Guan Sheng to bring 18,000 of Yuncheng's 20,000 troops, leaving only 2,000 to be led by Xiang Chong and Li Gun.
The situation in Yuncheng is the same as that of Liangshan.
There won't be any major wars for the time being, so sending two brothers and two thousand people to guard it is enough.
Today's Jeju City has nearly 140,000 ordinary soldiers, excluding war generals.
This does not include the 40,000 surrendered troops that were just recruited.
If all are added together, the total strength will reach a terrifying 180,000.
Moreover, as Liangshan began to recruit troops, new people continued to join, and the total military strength increased steadily.
It was only a matter of time before it exceeded 200,000.
Bianliang, Tokyo, Imperial Palace, Zichen Hall, morning court.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was sitting on the dragon chair, full of energy.
Last night, Huizong quietly left the palace and had a night of fun with his new love, Master Li.
There was endless romance, so he felt refreshed.
When one of the palace officials shouted, "If you have something to do, leave early.
If nothing happens, roll up the curtain and leave the court."
At this time, Taiwei Su Yuanjing came out of the squad and said, "Your Majesty, we have just received an urgent report from Yanzhou and Dezhou.
It is said that Jizhou has been captured by Liangshan bandits.
The prefects of the two states have sent people to monitor closely.
As for the follow-up matters, please leave it to your Majesty to decide."
After hearing this, Huizong was shocked.
His happy mood disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he immediately asked, "Don't you remember that I sent a large army to reinforce?
Why did the bandits attack the city?"
Huizong was really shocked.
If he said that Jeju was captured because he did not send reinforcements, he would be forgiven for it.

But the most incredible thing is that although a large army has been sent, Jeju is still not saved.
This is a bit puzzling.
Is it possible that the imperial army is already so unbearable?
For the first time, Song Huizong had doubts about the combat effectiveness of the imperial army.
"Back to Your Majesty, reinforcements have indeed been sent and a bandit general was killed.
However, the bandit did not know when he would sneak into the city and set fire everywhere in the city at night to create chaos.
The bandits outside the city took the opportunity to attack the city.
This led to Jeju was lost.
The two generals sent to the rescue, Deng Zongbi and Xin Congzhong, died in the battle.
The whereabouts of the prefect Zhang Shuye are unknown, but the fate is probably more serious. " When Su Taiwei heard Huizong's question, he quickly organized his reply.
Su Yuanjing had a close relationship with the Minister of War, and was afraid that Huizong would blame him, so he concealed the fact that Xin Congzhong died in the battle on the road, and only said that he died in the battle together, which was deliberately confusing.
A person's mouth has two skins, no matter how you say it, it makes sense.
Sure enough, Huizong felt much better after hearing this, and then said, "The bandits in Liangshan have become a serious nuisance.
They must be eliminated as soon as possible.
They must not indulge in any more indulgence.
Do you have any good ideas?"
After hearing this, all the officials bowed their heads and said nothing, thinking in their hearts, "There is no other way.
How many armies have been sent to conquer Liangshan?
Not only did they not destroy Liangshan, but each attack made Liangshan stronger.
This army of conquests has almost turned into money-giving boys, and this battle cannot be fought."
Cai Jing saw that no one among the officials spoke, so he said bravely, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to send out troops for conquest at this time."
After hearing this, Huizong frowned slightly and asked aloud, "What does the Grand Master mean?
If we don't send troops to conquer, will it be possible to cultivate a climate among thieves?"
"Your Majesty, this is not what I meant.
Now that the imperial court has been on continuous campaigns, it has suffered a huge loss of soldiers, money and food, and the national treasury is becoming increasingly empty.
If we forcefully send troops again at this time, the burden on the imperial court will be even heavier.
Moreover, Tian Hu has not been wiped out yet, and more troops and supplies still need to be invested, so the veteran said to postpone the expedition to Liangshan first, and wait until this winter, when Tian Hu is completely wiped out, then mobilize the army to take down Liangshan and recover it.
Jeju, Cheongju and other places” Cai Jing knew that Song Huizong loved to have fun, so he used the court's lack of money as an excuse.
Sure enough, Huizong began to ponder after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The lack of money and food is a headache, but if we don't continue to attack Liangshan, what should we do if the bandits continue to attack other places?"
This question had already been considered in Cai Jing's mind when he finished what he just said, so when Huizong asked it, he immediately explained it
