"The little Song Jiang from Yunzhou, pay homage to the Admiral and the Supreme Commander."

In the captain of the "Aggressive" exploration ship on the sailing, Song Jiang, who was dark, endured the feeling of vomiting and bowed to Wu Tiexin, who had a strong, fair skin, slightly yellow hair and beard.

"Well, are you their leader?" Wu Tiexin asked at Song Jiang.

"You are a little talented and you are regarded by ordinary brothers." Song Jiang smiled all over his face.

"Oh." Wu Tiexin said, "I arrived near Yinzhou yesterday! You can already see the coastline of Yinzhou. Moreover, Yinzhou is long and the night is short, making it easy to search. I guess you will be able to find a suitable place to accommodate you soon."

It’s summer now, and of course the day is long in high latitudes, and it will be the opposite after winter.

"Congratulations to the Grand Marshal, young." Song Jiang still had a well-behaved attitude.

"When you find the place," Wu Tiexin said, "Let you go down... The Land Warriors will help you explore. If you are sure that there are no enemies, you will live the next year yourself.

Food, winter clothes, weapons and tools will be left to you. But you 108 people also have rules and regulations... Do you know what it means?"

"I understand, understand... the little one understands." Song Jiang nodded repeatedly, "No rules, no square. If the Taiwei has any rules, just tell me."

"It's not my rule, it's your own rule. From now on, you will be self-government and self-defense. Of course, you will set the rules yourself. Just show me after they are settled." Wu Tiexin paused and said, "You can't just decide it alone. You have to agree with everyone and make a covenant. This covenant is not about sharing blessings and being together when it's difficult. You have to set the general principle of autonomy... Do you know what autonomy means?"

"The youngest know..." Song Jiang said, "The youngest have always been autonomous."

The 108 grain thieves were transported on a boat to "Yinzhou" to colonize, of course, was the result of careful planning.

What is the cost of using two "Discovery" class ships, plus hundreds of sailors and more than one hundred land soldiers, and working for two years?

So you have to think clearly who to send him over!

Those kind of good people who were wronged and bad people who went astray on impulse are simply not qualified to go to the New World.

You must be a vicious and vicious bandit!

And they also have to be a group of habitual bandits, with leaders, escorts, and organizations. More than 100 bandits can be brought together and can only survive when they arrive in Yinzhou.

The charm of Song Jiang, the bandit leader, is indeed satisfying. Wu Tiexin has been paying attention to observation. On the way to Japan, Song Jiang was almost fainted, and a group of younger brothers still recognized him.

This black guy is really a talent!

The dark colonial talent Song Jiang swayed back to the dim and stinking "criminal deck" that was dark and stinking. Wu Yong, Li Kui, and Hua Rong immediately surrounded him.

"Brother Gongming," Li Kui asked, "what is that official asking you to say?"

Song Jiang found a corner and sat down, laughed and said, "Everyone sits down, I'll sit down. I'll have something to talk to you today."

The heroes in the "Criminal Deck" gathered together and surrounded Song Jiang.

"We all came from Yunzhou. We have been with me Song Jiang for many years, but we have suffered..."

"Where are you talking about brother..."

"Without brother, my life would have been gone long ago."

"Yes, without brother, how many of us can live to this day?"

"I'm dead today, and I won't lose money. I've finally passed the big fish and meat."

“…”

The heroes were convinced by Song Jiang, and even if they were with him, they were willing to do so.

Song Jiang nodded with relief, "Now we have 108 people, more than ten thousand miles away from the Central Plains, and have arrived at Yinzhou, a deserted place with few people. In the future, only by supporting each other and struggling to survive... The Wu Admiral above said that in the next few years, we must develop and build in Yinzhou. The 108 people must be united to survive, have clothes and women, take root in Yinzhou, and disperse the leaves of spending.

Admiral Wu also said that he would send us weapons, tools, food and clothing, and women in the future. However, he would not send us government offices, nor would he send troops to protect us for a long time.

We must govern ourselves and defend ourselves!”

When the heroes present heard what Song Jiang said, they couldn't believe it.

Women can give them weapons, tools, food and clothing, and there are no government officials or soldiers... For a group of habitual bandits, this is not exile, it is simply heaven!

The only shame is that this place is extremely desolate and there is most likely nothing to grab.

Of course, such arrangements are also due to cost control considerations.

If it was to establish bureaucracy and deploy troops in Yinzhou, which was so far away and desolate that even people could not see, the expenses would be amazing!

If you send an official to the Yinzhou Chief, it is unreasonable to have less than a few times the salary!

As for the army, it must be a mercenary and several times the military salary.

Moreover, the army of these officials is fine in Yinzhou. Even though Yinzhou is a bit native, the armed colonists can't deal with it?

If there are such natives, it would be not too late to send out officials.

And because these armed colonists sent out had no officials and troops to manage, they of course had to be autonomous and self-defense.

To be self-government and self-defense, of course there must be a rule.

"Brother Gongming, we all listen to you!"

"Yes, let's do whatever my brother said."

Of course, the heroes all listen to Song Jiang.

Song Jiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brothers, Song Jiang is ashamed of your wrong love. But it is not a matter of time for us to settle down in Yinzhou. Maybe it is several generations, more than ten generations... Song Jiang is in his fifties this year, how many years can he live? If he cannot set a rule of autonomy now, Song Jiang will be gone in the future, who will you listen to? Without a rule, you might kill each other.

This is not the Central Plains! If our 108 people cannot join us, there will be only a dead end."

"Brother Gongming is right." Wu Yong echoed, "Then how should we govern ourselves? Let's talk about it, brother."

Song Jiang waved his hand, "Song Jiang doesn't know how to govern himself, he just has some ideas."

He paused, "The first choice is that we 108 people should be a alliance with blood and voluntarily become brothers of different surnames."

"Okay! It should be a feud!"

"We will be brothers from now on!"

Song Jiang said: "Not only are the 108 of us, but also the Han men who arrived in Yinzhou from now on, as long as they are willing to join our stronghold, they are also our brothers of different surnames. Moreover, brothers are all equal regardless of the order and sequencing. You can't learn from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a citizen is still divided into three or six or nine levels."

Originally, Song Jiang and his group had no idea of ​​equality, but the Great Zhou Republic established an unequal system of citizens and civilians.

He also made the heroes the lowest "criminals". After fully experiencing the "inequality" of the Great Zhou Republic, Song Jiang finally realized the preciousness of equality.

Li Kui glared at him, "Yes! Brothers should be equal, but Brother Gongming is still our big leader!"

The heroes below also agreed.

Song Jiang said again: "Secondly, in order to allow our stronghold to grow overseas thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, we need to formulate and promulgate some laws, regulations, regulations that are beneficial to all brothers, and also elect leaders of all sizes.

The third is that all our brothers guarantee to abide by the laws, regulations and regulations issued by the autonomous bases and fight for the interests of the bases at any time!

I can't think of the other ones for the time being. Only these three things are there. If everyone has no objection, let the military advisor write them down. Let's find a chance to make a bloody alliance."

"no comment."

"Everyone listens to Brother Gongming..."

The heroes of Liangshan themselves don’t know that they are doing something that can be passed down through history!

Because of this incident, for many centuries, people living on the New World will remember these ancestors who did not actually climb to the New World land.

Although they just thought they had set foot on the New World and became the first settlers and pioneers on the New World. However, they set a very important precedent for those who truly set foot on the New World in the future. They formulated the first political contract document in the history of the New World. Although the content was simple, it occupied an important position in the later history of the New World's political thought, because it foreshadowed many ideas of republican politics...

The original text of the covenant is as follows: In the name of the law of nature, we 108 people have become an alliance today. We have sworn here to voluntarily form brothers of different surnames and form an autonomous brother group.

In order to open up the initial strongholds in Yinzhou, we will help each other equally and unite, formulate fair and equal laws, regulations, and decrees in the strongholds we have, and elect leaders of all sizes.

All 108 of us guarantee compliance and obedience. If there is any violation of the oath, the laws of nature will not tolerate it...

Then there is the signature and handprint of the 108 hero!

This covenant was called the "Competition Convention" or the "108 Brothers Covenant" by later historians.

These 108 brothers later established an important colonial transit station, Liangshan Town, in a pleasantly frozen bay in Yinzhou (Kanchaka Peninsula). This "Enterprise Convention" was carved by them on a large stone tablet in the center of Liangshan Town.

In many years later, Liangshan Town was an important transit station for immigrants from the Great Zhou Republic and the Eastern Song Dynasty to go to the New World.

Millions of immigrants read the "convention" on the stone tablet of Liangshan Town. After arriving at their new homes, they also formulated similar conventions and established countless autonomous colonial strongholds.
