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

However, Dengzhou is located by the sea.

Officials and wealthy families at all levels,

Everyone knows this.

Sea-going ships and riverboats,

There are significant differences.

Seagoing vessels

Most of them need to be built along the coast.

Liangshan Marsh

Although the area is eight hundred li in circumference

But its water is deep,

It is clearly worlds apart from the ocean.

Want to be in the water,

To build seagoing ships.

Obviously it is impossible.

Therefore,

The Liangshan heroes' promise to take revenge after building their own ships.

When this reached the ears of officials and wealthy families,

Most people think it's a joke!

Many people are even turning their attention to...

They looked toward the salt fortress that Liangshan had rebuilt!

With the Dengzhou navy setting an example for them,

just thought of,

It won't be long.

In the Liangshan Salt Village

It would then be piled high again with priceless coarse salt.

For these audacious individuals who were tempted,

There are certainly quite a few.

Even if we offend Liangshan,

All we have to do is escape to the sea!

.....

Just as Zhao Yuan led the Liangshan soldiers,

As they approached the Dengzhou border,

on the sea,

There was also a small seagoing vessel.

Against the waves,

After sailing for most of the day,

We arrived near a sea area dotted with islands.

This place was later known as the Miaodao Islands.

It doesn't have a name yet.

Normally,

They are all fishermen who go out to sea to fish.

Occasionally, a large storm occurs.

There was no time to return to shore.

That's why they came here to hide.

And around these scattered islands,

Six enormous naval warships, each with a capacity of 1,000 shi, were moored there.

There were also about ten smaller ships, each costing 500 shi (a unit of weight).

This is where the Dengzhou navy was hiding.

And that small seagoing vessel,

It was just before the Dengzhou navy set sail that...

Spy agents specifically left in Dengzhou.

From its mouth,

Upon learning that Liangshan lacked seagoing vessels,

They've already given up.

After returning to the lake,

Dengzhou's naval forces, under the command of Commander Wu, swam against the sea dragon.

He immediately burst into triumphant laughter.

"These Liangshan bandits are nothing special..."

Chapter 965 Returning to the Village

"In the past, I heard people boasting every day about how capable Liangshan was."

Dang Hailong mocked,

"Now it seems,"

"These men on land can never compare to us men who go to the water!"

"Haha, the Supervisor is right!"

"What a load of bull! Liangshan! They've been completely outplayed by us!"

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have sold that coarse salt so cheaply!"

"Wouldn't it be great to load them all onto the boat and sell them after the Liangshan bandits leave!"

"The Commander-in-Chief is truly mighty!"

"That damned Liangshan Mountain isn't even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Commander!"

"The imperial court should let the Grand Commandant lead the army to wipe out Liangshan!"

"With your talent, Commander, Liangshan will be wiped out in an instant!"

.....

Many naval officers and soldiers were discussing it.

Among them were many who took the opportunity to flatter and fawn.

And this sea dragon,

Immersed in the flattery of the crowd,

He was naturally very pleased with himself.

His face was beaming with smugness!

"The imperial court has always looked down on us local troops,"

Dang Hailong laughed.

"Now it seems that it is our Dengzhou navy that is at fault,"

"We've outmaneuvered them!"

"The Commander is right!"

"It's a pity that we were able to conquer Liangshan,"

"We must not report this to the imperial court!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't this also be a great achievement!"

.....

After the commotion subsided,

One of the naval soldiers couldn't help but ask,

"My lord, since Liangshan has already withdrawn from Dengzhou,"

"Shouldn't we go back now?"

His question,

Other naval soldiers

They immediately started complaining.

"Although the sea is vast, it is too stifling for us to stay on the ship every day."

"Winter is just around the corner, and it will be freezing cold then,"

"How are we going to survive on this ship?!"

"The sea is ultimately not as good as the land,"

"It's still more comfortable staying on the shore!"

.....

The naval soldiers complained.

If General Danghai wants to stay at sea for two more days, immediately tell him...

He swallowed it back.

Dang Hailong frowned.

After waving his hand to silence his soldiers,

He looked at the scout who had brought the news and asked in a deep voice.

"Are you really sure that Liangshan has already left?"

"My lord, I saw this with my own eyes,"

The scout quickly assured him,

"That Liangshan is already in its original location,"

"The salt village has been rebuilt!"

"Afterwards, two hundred soldiers were left behind, along with a leader named Bian Xiang,"

"Then the leader of Liangshan led over a thousand soldiers,"

"They bypassed Dengzhou city and headed towards Liangshan,"

“I stayed right behind them the whole time,”

"I saw them cross the border of Dengzhou with my own eyes,"

"That's why I came to deliver the message!"

"Um,"

Dang Hailong pondered for a while.
