Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"For example, timber, sulfur, and pig iron."

"When we get back this time, we should send the ships out to sea."

The three chatted for a while.

Seeing that most of the money in the government office had already been moved onto Liangshan's warships,

Zhao Yuan then waved his hand.

Stop moving the remaining goods.

"Brother, why don't you move? Are you going to leave it to that corrupt official?"

Ruan Xiaowu asked, puzzled.

"Didn't Xiaoqi just say that?"

Zhao Yuan explained,

"Most of the wealth acquired by the Mingzhou County government came from the seaport,"

"The other half is squeezed from the people."

"What remains now should rightfully belong to the people,"

"Now it's only natural that we should return it to them."

"Immediately send men to gather the people of Mingzhou City,"

"Take Liangshan for example, we must return the ill-gotten gains that the corrupt county magistrate took."

"And while we're at it, we should kill that corrupt official in public,"

"To avenge the people of Mingzhou!"

......

The news that Liangshan would return the embezzled silver from the Mingzhou county magistrate to the people.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire city of Mingzhou.

Although many people do not believe it.

These bandits can actually be so benevolent?

But based on the principle of "whether there are dates or not,"

They all have the spirit to go and see for themselves.

Most of the people in Mingzhou City,

They all came to Moon Lake together.

The Ming Cult's young leader, Fang Dingtian, along with Lü Shinang and others...

They're all hidden inside!

"Hmph, that Zhao Dalang is utterly hateful,"

Fang Dingtian looked at the ten warships in the lake.

His face was filled with resentment.

"They actually took money from Mingzhou,"

"To win people's hearts for himself!"

"Young Master, no matter what, we have no choice but to endure it for now,"

Lu Shinang reminded him in a low voice.

"If we get involved now,"

"Then Liangshan will definitely leave immediately,"

"Then, the young master will make arrangements at the estuary,"

"Wouldn't that be a waste of effort...?"

Chapter 1260 Ambush

"Please, Young Master, restrain your anger,"

Lü Shinang advised,

"Let Liangshan be triumphant for now,"

"After that, when Liangshan leaves,"

"Let's burn Liangshan's warships again!"

"Let's kill this Zhao Dalang from Tokyo in one fell swoop!"

"it is good!"

Fang Dingtian gritted his teeth and nodded.

...

On the Ming Cult's side,

They were plotting to kill Zhao Yuan.

Meanwhile, on the Liangshan side...

Seeing that a crowd of people had gathered on the north bank of Liangshan,

Then, following the example set in Shandong,

In front of the people,

Examples of public trials of corrupt officials, gentry, and wealthy families.

First, the various crimes committed by the magistrate of Mingzhou County were listed.

Then, directly in front of all the people,

He was appointed as the county magistrate of Mingzhou.

Behead him on the spot!

As for his family...

Liangshan also handed it over to the people of Mingzhou.

Let them beat and scold us!

In the end,

Liangshan then opened the box containing the county magistrate's loot.

He distributed the gifts to the crowd of people present!

After all of this is done,

Liangshan then, amidst the cheers of the people,

Set sail

Heading towards the open sea.

......

"Given what has happened today,"

On the Liangshan warships,

Pang Wanchun watched as the people of Mingzhou on the shore cheered for the Liangshan heroes.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"If Liangshan really does move south later,"

"I'm afraid not many common people will be willing to fight to the death."

"But no matter what, it was really good that Liangshan killed them."

Pang Qiuyan, however, said excitedly,

"This corrupt official in Mingzhou has been committing all sorts of evil deeds for over two years,"

"Nobody can do anything about him,"

"It was all thanks to Liangshan that this despicable official was punished!"

"I also think that Liangshan is indeed capable of getting things done,"

Shi Bao also said,

"The Ming Cult has been in Mingzhou for many years,"

"Many of the people in the sect have been bullied by this corrupt official,"

"But they also dare not stand up for their followers,"

"They just keep delaying, saying that this corrupt official will get his comeuppance in the future."

"The Liangshan people are really straightforward in their actions."

"If the Ming Cult could also do that,"

"Why should the people of Mingzhou suffer these two years of hardship?"

Other bandit leaders nearby,

They all nodded in agreement.

These bandits,

I've always preferred to be straightforward.

Liangshan's current approach

This is clearly more in line with their preferences.

The outlaws from Jiangnan are discussing the Liangshan uprising here.

quickly,

Liangshan's ten warships then arrived at the mouth of Moon Lake.

They were about to enter the open sea.

But unexpectedly, at this moment,

From both sides of that estuary,

Suddenly, twenty or thirty small boats rushed out.

On each ship,

It was all piled high with grain and fodder.

They poured kerosene on it!

Upon seeing this formation,

The people on the Liangshan warship,

Naturally, he immediately understood the Ming Cult's plan.

"Quickly! Fire the arrows!"

Zhao Yuan called out loudly,

Pick up the bow and arrow,

Then he shot at the fishermen on the fishing boat!

The soldiers on the warship,

They all drew their bows and nocked their arrows.

However, their archery skills were ultimately far inferior to Zhao Yuan's.

In the end, six or seven fishing boats managed to get close to Liangshan's warships.
