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

"When we head north in the future,"

"If the area east of the river is still unclaimed land,"

"That's perfect for us to conquer!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Bao

He didn't say much.

He stood up immediately.

Fang La bowed and said...

"Since your Ming Cult is so powerful,"

"Then naturally we brothers won't be needed,"

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

Fang La saw it,

He hurriedly tried to dissuade them.

"Wait, Brother Tian Bao, don't act rashly,"

"Please sit down and listen to me."

"Although the Zhao Song dynasty was corrupt,"

"But as the saying goes, even a centipede dies but does not fall down,"

"It cannot be overthrown by one company alone,"

"This matter requires the concerted efforts of all four of us!"

...

This gathering of heroes,

In the end, it became Fang La's gold-sprinkling ceremony.

Tian Bao was certain that Fang La was about to launch a rebellion.

They are needed to help restrain the imperial court.

They refused to give them gold or silver.

They would never send troops.

Fang La had no choice.

I could only nod in agreement.

But just as they relented,

Wang Qingde and his men saw this.

They immediately started complaining about being poor.

Another severe drought in western Huaihe River Basin

Countless more refugees were displaced.

They also said that as long as there is money and food,

They could immediately expand their army.

Fang La was not one to show favoritism.

The only option left was to start haggling.

Fang La would not give the gold and silver to Tian Hu and Wang Qing for nothing.

They only agreed to wait until the two of them became kings.

Only then would they give them gold and silver.

Chapter 1524 Give me the money! Give me the money!

As long as Wang Qing and Tian Hu declare themselves kings...

That would solidify their claim of rebellion.

Fang La will naturally not be needed at that time.

They were afraid that the gold and silver would be taken and then they would go back on their word.

After arguing for most of the day,

It was only after much difficulty that an agreement was reached.

It was already noon.

Fang La then suggested that everyone have lunch first.

We'll discuss the alliance meeting later.

After the meeting...

Fang Baihua gave Zhao Yuan a wink.

He took the first step and walked outside.

Zhao Yuan understood.

I also made up an excuse to come along.

In fact, Zhao Yuan never thought highly of this Heroes' Gathering.

Although Fang La can be considered a hero,

But Tian Hu and Wang Qing

But at best, he could be considered a powerful local strongman.

At best, they were just bandits with more soldiers.

Natianhu was originally a hunter.

Some physical strength,

His martial arts skills are also quite good.

But he is not a law-abiding person.

He enjoys associating with local scoundrels and ruffians.

Relying on the surrounding mountains east of the river,

Frequent floods and droughts

The people are poor.

People's minds are in turmoil.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tian Hu gathered a group of desperate men and joined their outlaw gang.

Looting and plundering the people everywhere,

Later, his power grew.

Then they spread some rumors.

Inciting the people everywhere,

They attacked and seized prefectures and counties.

Song Ting obtained the troops from Hedong.

They had long lost the fighting spirit they once had when they contended with the Liao Dynasty.

After being defeated by Tian Hu's army several times,

At the back,

They didn't even dare to fight anymore.

Wang Qing of Huaixi,

This fellow was originally a deputy platoon leader in Tokyo.

He helped Wang Hua, who was rich but heartless.

He usually relies on bribing government officials and instigating lawsuits.

They acted arrogantly and abused their power, bullying the people.

That's how they accumulated a great fortune.

However, when Wang Qing grew up...

But he was a rooster that loved fighting cocks and riding horses.

He gets carried away with using guns and clubs.

He was their only son.

Wang Qingde's parents also spoiled him.

This caused Wang Qing to later...

All they knew was eating, drinking, and gambling.

When you want to discipline them,

Wang Qing's parents were instead beaten and verbally abused by Wang Qing.

Wang Qingde's elderly father couldn't do anything about him.

They could only let Wang Qing squander his family fortune.

In just a few years

He squandered all his family fortune.

Fortunately, Wang Qingde's old father,

There is still a lot of money at home.

He then spent money to secure Wang Qing a deputy platoon leader position in the Imperial Guard.

Although not wealthy

But there was always a monthly salary paid out.

At least they won't have to worry about food and clothing.

However, Wang Qing was, after all, a man accustomed to eating, drinking, gambling, and betting.

During a day of leisure,

He met a beautiful young woman.

The two then began an affair.

This woman was the daughter of Tong Guan's younger brother, Tong Shi.

Tong Guan himself became a eunuch.

Without descendants,

Just like Gao Qiu adopting Gao Kan as his son,

He took his younger brother's daughter.

She raised him as her own daughter.

When she grew up, he was betrothed to the son of Cai Jing's eldest son, Cai You.

This woman then became Cai Jing's granddaughter-in-law.

Wang Qing had been secretly flirting with this woman for several months.

After drinking once,

Wang Qing then proudly told the soldiers about it.
