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

"Upon hearing this news, Liangshan gained a navy,"

"How could there be no reason not to be anxious to return to Shandong?"

“The shipyard owners in Minnesota whom we contacted before also said that,”

“These people from Liangshan are very anxious and keep urging them to deliver the goods as soon as possible.”

"Otherwise, the time required to deliver the ships and timber,"

"It won't be scheduled for tomorrow."

"What I mean is, let's be cautious for now,"

Lu Shinang said,

"Wait until tomorrow, after we've confirmed that Liangshan has left,"

"Only then can we feel at ease."

My plan is full of confidence.

This was denied by Lü Shinang.

Fang Tianding was naturally somewhat displeased.

But remembering the promise he had made to Fang La,

This matter in Mingzhou

Everyone should get along well with Lü Shinang.

Fang Dingtian could only suppress his anger.

"Let's do it the way you said, Lao Lü."

The two then discussed some matters concerning the bandit gathering the day after tomorrow.

Lü Shinang then left.

Fang Tianding had just gotten up to leave as well.

One of his close followers then walked in.

"Young Master, we're tracking that Zhao Da today,"

"They discovered he went to Wanghailou,"

"We found the Pang Wanchun siblings."

"I sat there for almost half an hour before leaving."

"Um,"

Fang Tianding immediately frowned.

"That fellow actually went to see Pang Wanchun?"

"The Liangshan bandits are leaving Mingzhou tomorrow,"

"That fellow knows about our Ming Cult's affairs,"

"Didn't he intend to take Pang Wanchun and his sister with him when he left?"

"Young Master, should we stop this?"

"A trusted follower asked."

"never mind,"

Fang Dingtian shook his head in annoyance.

"It is not the right time for us to clash with Liangshan,"

"Let Pang Wanchun and his sister be taken away by Liangshan."

"Anyway, it's just the two of them."

"It won't affect the overall situation."

.....

the next day,

The appointed time with the shipyard owners arrived.

Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun, and others went out together.

First, pay the money, then take the boat.

After acquiring twenty new seagoing vessels,

They sailed the boat directly into Moon Lake.

Then, right on the shore of Moon Lake...

Loading timber onto ocean-going ships.

"What do you think of the water condition of Moon Lake?"

"Ruan Xiaoer asked."

"This ship is about the same size as our naval warships,"

Zhang Shun looked at the rippling blue Moon Lake and said with a smile.

"The ships were able to enter safely,"

"Our warships are naturally similar."

"They can get in, that's what they say."

Ruan Xiaowu frowned and said,

"But Moon Lake is still a bit too small."

"If too many of our warships come in at once,"

"It's probably too crowded to turn around or change direction easily..."

Chapter 1239 Setting Sail

"That is indeed a problem,"

Ruan Xiaoer nodded.

Then, with a look of regret, he said...

"It's a pity that Mr. Ye's shovel boat hasn't been built yet,"

"I've heard that those shovel boats are different from our sailboats,"

Even without the help of wind,

"It can also be turned around at will."

"Second brother, we've only just received the timber for shipbuilding,"

Ruan Xiaoqi laughed,

"You can forget about getting on that sea shovel boat in less than half a year."

"According to my brother's and that Mr. Ye's plan,"

Zhang Shun said.

"After returning to Shandong this time,"

“They would immediately begin building sea shovels in the Deshui Village of Dengzhou.”

"If things go smoothly, it will take another six months,"

“We will have these sea shovel boats in our Liangshan Marsh.”

"That's good,"

Ruan Xiaoer glanced at the distance not far away,

Shipyard workers loading timber onto ocean-going vessels

"This trip to Jiangnan was definitely worthwhile."

"Not only did they acquire twenty new seagoing vessels,"

"We also managed to get enough timber."

"Now that we're back, our naval force can recruit another batch of people and expand properly."

"Hehe, these twenty new seagoing vessels, plus the forty large and small shovel boats that will be built soon,"

"When we get back this time, we can recruit at least two or three thousand more people for our navy,"

"At that time, our naval forces on the mountain will finally be able to hold their heads high!"

"Haha, Second Brother is right,"

Zhang Shun laughed.

"Oh right, and Seventh Brother also mentioned it,"

"We need to take a boat out to sea to visit the Liao, Goryeo and Japan."

“My brother also mentioned it to us when we went south this time,”

"They said they'd wait until these ships arrived,"

"Then we will be sent out to sea to explore the ocean."

"Really?"

Ruan Xiaoqi exclaimed in surprise,

"Did my brother really say that?"

"Would I lie to you about something like this?"

Zhang Shun laughed.

"Didn't my brother say that before?"

"That marshland is our foundation,"

"But we want to develop,"

"But we absolutely cannot be trapped on Liangshan Mountain!"

"It's only been a little over half a year,"

“The situation on our mountain is already packed.”

"Although we have now occupied Yuncheng,"

"But before our Liangshan has completely raised the banner of rebellion,"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to attack any other prefectures."

"So my brother wanted us to go overseas and try our luck."

Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes lit up.

"I've heard that there are countless small countries overseas,"

"Some small countries have only a few hundred thousand people."

"Let's go to Liangshan and live a carefree life overseas!"

"Isn't this much better than being in the Song Dynasty?"

"Little Seven, your brother's ambition lies in conquering the world,"

Ruan Xiaoer said irritably,

"Why would they possibly be willing to go to sea and travel to those small, foreign countries?"

"My brother sent us abroad only so we could explore a sea route through the mountains,"

"We can make money from this so that we can recruit soldiers and horses on Liangshan Mountain."
