To find the ship, Qin Ming naturally sent Jeju officers and soldiers who were familiar with the local situation to collect them.
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were both sent out to collect ships so that they could cross the water to attack the Liangshan camp and capture the bandits.
Walking on the dirt road, Lei Heng was from Yuncheng County, Jeju.
He knew that Shijie Village was a fishing village and there would be many boats there.
As he walked, Lei Heng saw that Zhu Tong was not walking towards Shijie Village, but towards Dongxi Village.
Lei Heng immediately shouted, "You're going the wrong way, Shijie Village should go in this direction."
Zhu Tong said hurriedly: "Don't make any noise, let's go to the Pagoda King Chao Gai."
Lei Heng said in confusion: "Why are we going to Chao Gai, the king of Tota?
His family doesn't have a fishing boat."
After Zhu Tong looked around, he said softly: "Brother, don't tell me that General Qin Ming is so confused.
You should also hear about the reputation of the three Ruan brothers.
Those three were originally smuggled goods and thieves who were accustomed to fighting in the water.
That's it."
How can we people fight against these people who are accustomed to living in the water?
I wanted to persuade the general not to cross the water and attack Liangshan.
When Liangshan's food and supplies were exhausted, I would be able to capture these bandits without any effort.
General, I had no choice but to ask Brother Chao Gai for a life-saving talisman."
Lei Heng was surprised when he heard this and whispered: "Is it possible that the life-saving talisman of the Tota King is also from Liangshan?"
Zhu Tong shook his head and said: "No, it's just that Chao Gai loves to make friends with heroes all over the world.
I heard that he has friendship with Shi Jin from Liangshan.
We have a good relationship with Chao Gai.
If we are really caught by those heroes in Liangshan, please Chao Gai came forward to rescue us.
I think those heroes in Liangshan would not embarrass us little pawns for Chao Gai's sake."
Lei Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Brother Zhu Dian is still thoughtful.
Hurry, let's go see King Tota quickly."
But Zhu Tong and Lei Heng each led fifty men to Chao Gai's courtyard and knocked on the door.
The guest in the village came out and opened the door.
He saw Zhu Tong and Lei Heng both had their heads turned, and hurried in to report to Chao Baozheng.
When Chao Gai heard that Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were coming, he hurriedly called to open the door.
Chao Gai came out to receive him in person and asked, "Do you have any business to come here for?"
Zhu Tong said: "The imperial court commanded the Qingzhou Command to command Qin Ming to capture the Liangshan bandits.
Following General Jun's order, we led the soldiers to collect ships in various places in the countryside.
Because we were a little tired from walking, we went to Guizhuang to rest for a while.
When we arrived, I disturbed Baozheng, but I hope to atone for my sins.”
Chao Gai said: "What's wrong with this?
Please come in and sit down."
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng led five or six of their close men to sit down in the thatched cottage, while the others were waiting outside the hall.
While asking the village guest to arrange wine and food, Chao Gai said without leaving a trace: "The Liangshan bandits are rampant in the countryside, so they will be punished like this.
I wonder if the imperial soldiers can catch those Liangshan bandits now?"
Zhu Tong shook his head and said: "It made Baozheng laugh.
Those thieves were so fierce.
We were unprepared and suffered a big defeat.
Now they have escaped back to the water.
No, the general asked us to come out to collect ships."
Prepare to cross the water and go up Liangshan to capture the bandits."

Chao Gai had many friends, so he naturally heard the news and knew that the imperial court was sending 10,000 troops to encircle and suppress Liangshan.
I originally thought that Liangshan was in danger this time, and I was worried about my green salt business.
Now when he heard that the officers and soldiers had been defeated for a while, Chao Gai was shocked.
Secretly sighing: This Nine-Patterned Dragon Shi Jin is really good.
Ten thousand officers and soldiers can't do anything to them.
Chao Gai was secretly shocked in his heart, but he said: "What's the difficulty?
Chao Gai will ask someone to help you two to collect ships."
Zhu Tong hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Baozheng for your help.
I am very grateful.
We came to Guizhuang today.
Firstly, we want to ask Baozheng for help in collecting ships.
Secondly, we also want to ask Baozheng for help."
Chao Gai said: "Oh, if there is anything you need Chao Gai's help with, I will not refuse as long as I can help you."
Zhu Tong: "Baozheng has a lot of friends and a lot of people.
I heard that he has a good relationship with several leaders in Liangshan.
If we are captured by that Liangshan hero, please Baozheng, for the sake of all the fellow villagers, rescue him."
One or two.
Zhu Tong is very grateful."
Chao Gai hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk.
Why not go to the backyard and sit down and talk?"
Chao Gai asked the banker to take all the soldiers to the side room to take care of them, and asked someone to buy a large plate of wine and meat for them to eat.
Chao Gai, Zhu Tong, and Lei Heng moved to the pavilion in the back yard.
Chao Gai took the main seat, while Zhu and Lei Heng took the Hengtou seat.
The three of them sat down, and the banker laid out fruits, wine, vegetables, and dishes.
While Chao Gai was sifting wine and drinking wine with Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, he said: "Both Zhu Tong and Lei Heng were laughing.
How could I, a good citizen who knows the law, have friendship with those bandits in Liangshan?"
You don’t have to be joking” Zhu Tong said: "Baozheng, the bandits in Liangshan are making a lot of noise.
I pay more attention to it in my free time.
Wu Yong, a leader of Liangshan who has recently come to the mountain, is very smart and smart.
Baozheng must be familiar with it.
Zhu Tong is listening.
He said that he and you have known each other since childhood, Baozheng cannot deny this."
Chao Gai thought, everyone in the village knew about his friendship with Wu Yong, and this could not be concealed.
Chao Gai nodded and said, "That's true.
It's just that since Wu Yong became a bandit, Chao Gai has no contact with him anymore."
Zhu Tong said hurriedly: "Baozheng, it's not that Zhu Tong wants to embarrass you.
It's just that the battlefield is ruthless.
When these two armies are fighting, it is their destiny to live in peace.
If you die, you can only blame yourself for your bad fate.
But if you are killed alive "Catch me, please protect me.
We are all poor people.
There are old people and young people in the family.
We all rely on them to survive."
After speaking, Zhu Tong stood up and bowed to Chao Gai.
Lei Heng also stood up and said, "Please take pity on my eighty-year-old mother at home.

If I die now, she will have no one to support her."
Chao Gai thought that Zhu Tong was a good man who spared money and was righteous, and Lei Heng was also filial to others, so he could be regarded as a kind and righteous person.
In addition, they were both the chiefs of the county, so they could help him if there was anything in the future.
So he said: "Since both of you have said this, how can Chao Gai deny that the two brothers were captured by the gang of heroes in Liangshan?
Chao Gai will definitely come forward to rescue the two even if he puts his face on it."
Zhu Gongshou said: "If Baozheng is rescued like this, it will be reported that it is getting late in the future, and the villains have to go collect ships.
I will resign."
Chao Gai said: "Both of you have official status, so you don't dare to stay for a long time.
If you come to our village for business again, you must come and visit."
Zhu Dao: "There is no need for Baozheng's instructions.
If Baozheng is destined to visit again, Qingbaozheng will not be sent away."
Chao Gai said: "But he sent it to the gate of the village."
The officers and soldiers had eaten enough, and each took their swords and guns and went out.
Chao Gai sent a banker to take Zhu Tong and others to the village to buy eight small boats for them to use for delivery.
Zhu collected four more small boats on his way back, and returned to the military camp after collecting twelve small boats.
As the officers and soldiers who went out to collect boats came back one after another, nearly 200 small boats were collected.
Qin Ming looked at the small fishing boats.
Each boat was so crowded that it could only fit seven or eight people.
How could such a small boat be used to kill the enemy?
Qin Ming's heart was filled with a shadow.
He didn't mean to do it, but before setting off, Qin Ming boasted in front of Murong Zhizhou that he could wipe out Liangshan in half a month, capture the Liangshan bandits, and escort them to Beijing.
There is not much time left to calculate, not to mention that the food and grass provided by Jeju is not much in the first place.
At most, it can only support the army for a month.
How could this small amount of food and grass be used to mobilize large ships elsewhere?
Qin Ming had no choice but to let all the 1,200 soldiers who could swim get off the ship and head towards Liangshan
