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

"Fang La was quite a powerful figure, but I never expected his son to be so incompetent."

Ruan Xiaoer couldn't help but sneer,

"This is truly a case of a tiger father begetting a dog son."

Zhao Yuan, who was standing next to him

This makes one wonder...

In his impression,

Fang Tianding doesn't seem to be that incompetent.

After thinking for a while,

In the end, Zhao Yuan could only...

This can all be attributed to the fact that Fang Tianding had no prior experience in military campaigns.

Even Zhao Yuan himself,

When he first led the Liangshan soldiers into battle,

They also let many basic mistakes go unpunished.

"Alright, let's get going."

Zhao Yuan interrupted the group's joking conversation.

"While it's still early,"

"Let's head back as soon as possible,"

"Let's get back on the ship as soon as possible and return to Shandong!"

...

All the people from Liangshan and Siming Mountain have left.

After they left,

Fang Tianding and the other three finally climbed out of the ditch.

"Young Master..."

The three Ming Cult followers all looked at Fang Tianding with fear.

This young leader of the Ming Cult,

His expression at this moment

It was completely black with a bluish tinge, and bluish with a purplish tinge.

What the Liangshan group just said,

He heard it all.

Upon realizing that he had made many mistakes in the march,

Fang Tianding was also extremely embarrassed and angry by the scolding.

"Damn Liangshan!"

He punched the tree next to him hard.

"Sooner or later,"

"I will make you Liangshan bandits pay the price!"

......

Three days later,

Zhao Yuan and the others returned to the seaside.

They boarded a ship and headed north back to Shandong.

However, the turmoil in Jiangnan caused by Liangshan...

But it didn't end immediately.

The dozen or so bandit leaders from Jiangnan who left on the Liangshan boat

After disembarking,

They immediately spread the word about Fang La and the Ming Cult's deeds.

The relationship between the Ming Cult and the outlaws of Jiangnan

It was already quite subtle.

After all, as the saying goes,

Two tigers cannot share one mountain.

Previously, it was simply because the two shared a common enemy: the imperial court.

Only in this way can we barely maintain peace.

but now,

As the Ming Cult took the lead in wielding its butcher's knife against the bandits of Jiangnan,

A group of outlaws from Jiangnan,

Naturally, they wouldn't just sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Many leaders were killed by the Ming Cult, leaving behind bandit strongholds.

They launched attacks in all directions.

They began plundering wealthy households and common people who believed in the Ming Cult.

As for the Ming Cult...

Seeing that recruitment was not going to work,

The only option left was to begin the cleaning plan.

Fang La appointed his subordinates as incense masters and hall masters.

They used money to bribe officials and soldiers throughout Jiangnan.

On one hand, they used the imperial army to suppress the bandits in various places.

On the one hand, they also learned from Fang Tianding's experience in besieging Siming Mountain.

They began by suppressing bandits and outlaws in various places.

Take this opportunity to cultivate generals and soldiers who belong to the Ming Cult.

The entire Jiangnan region,

Chaos erupted immediately.

......

Five days later,

Liangshan acquired thirty seagoing ships.

They successfully returned to Deshui Village in Dengzhou.

After arriving at the destination,

Zhao Yuan immediately summoned Ye Chun.

Let him choose the location for shipbuilding.

"This, Master Zhao,"

Ye Chun exclaimed in surprise,

"Is everything really entirely up to me?"

"Mr. Ye, you are in charge of this shipyard,"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"Of course, it's up to you to decide."

"Can......"

Ye Chun hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Although neither side has yet revealed the true nature of Liangshan,

But with the experience gained on Dongting Mountain,

Ye Chun thought that,

Even if Zhao Yuan asked him to build ships for Liangshan,

They will definitely send people to constantly monitor me.

Who would have thought,

He actually entrusted all the affairs to me!

"Mr. Ye, don't overthink it,"

Zhao Yuan smiled and patted Ye Chun on the shoulder.

"Isn't that shovel boat your life's work?"

"Don't you want to see it built?"

"Sailing on this river..."

Chapter 1277 Wanting to Go to Sea

"this......"

Ye Chun was immediately stunned by the question.

Just as Zhao Yuan said...

Those large and small shovel boats,

This was based on Ye Chun's lifelong learning.

It was designed.

For Ye Chun,

They can be seen in rivers, lakes, and seas.

That would be the greatest satisfaction and aspiration of my life!

"In fact, besides Liangshan, where else would you get such an opportunity?"

Zhao Yuan spoke frankly,

"The imperial court? That emperor might indeed be interested in your scheme,"

"Then they built a ship and placed it in the lake in Bianliang, specifically for his amusement?"

"But more likely, you'll never even see him,"

"Nobody wants your shovel boat!"

"And what about the imperial court?"

"Fang La searched for you, but imprisoned you on Dongting Mountain."

"The other bandit forces in Hebei are of no use to Tian Hu,"

"Wang Qing of Huaixi, his so-called leader of the Green Forest Alliance is just an empty title,"

"They can't even handle the bandit forces under their command,"

"Where would we find the time to build the shovel boat you've researched?"

"Throughout the entire Song Dynasty, who else would give you this opportunity?"

"Only Liangshan?"
