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

“We were always going to rebel,”

"Even without Liangshan's rescue this time,"

"Chief, are you not going to rebel?"

"If you ask me, things are fine as they are now."

"I don't see what's so good about it,"

Wang Qing shook his head.

"The thought of seeing that scoundrel Zhao Dalang again..."

"My heart feels so heavy and suffocated."

"At least after this incident,"

Li Zhu explained.

"Our relationship with Liangshan has now been completely eased."

"If the chieftain rebels in the future, what pressure will he face from the imperial court?"

"We can always find an ally to help us."

"ally?"

Wang Qing frowned.

“Yes, ally,”

Li Zhu persuaded him.

"This Zhao Dalang is also determined to rebel,"

"He was just worried about prematurely stirring up the world situation,"

"What if we throw this northern land into chaos?"

"This provoked the Jin army to march south,"

"That's why we haven't dared to completely raise the banner of rebellion."

"Hmph, they're so slow and hesitant about starting a rebellion."

Wang Qing snorted dismissively.

"If you ask me, this guy is just plain gloomy,"

"Afraid of being the one to stick their neck out,"

That's why I shrank to the back.

"Anyway,"

Li Zhu smiled and said,

"Relations with Liangshan have eased,"

"Let's not talk about anything else from now on,"

"At the very least, we in Huaixi can buy quite a few things from Liangshan,"

"Chief, you've been unconscious for the past two days,"

"I've gone to inquire about the commercial towns surrounding Liangshan Marsh,"

"This Liangshan Mountain needs white sugar and refined salt,"

"Those are all highly profitable businesses."

"Especially the salt,"

"We in Huaixi have always been short of salt,"

"Now it's all about high prices,"

"Buy it from Shaanxi and Gansu."

"That's just how it is,"

"Many brothers in the village don't even have salt to eat,"

"If we can reach an agreement with Liangshan,"

"At that time, not only will the village have enough salt,"

"There will still be surplus salt, which can be sold to other mountain strongholds in the bandit camp,"

"The benefits here,"

"Chieftain, you should understand, right?"

"Um,"

Wang Qing nodded thoughtfully.

"You mean, using salt to coerce other mountain strongholds..."

Chapter 1383 Coercion

Although Wang Qing was the leader of the bandit stronghold in Huaixi.

But his position as the leader of the alliance

Actually, the seat wasn't very comfortable.

Now, the other bandit strongholds in Huaixi

The reason why I am willing to submit to him is

It's simply because Wang Qing has the greatest strength.

Wang Qing usually gets these villages to do small tasks, which is fine.

But if you really make them fight to the death,

In those villages...

I'm afraid not many people would be willing to listen to him.

Don't say anything else,

It is this Liangshan,

If they attack Huaixi,

The bandit strongholds under Wang Qing's command.

I'm afraid they'll all break up soon.

Now, what Assistant Li means is...

It was clearly to get Wang Qing to obtain a channel for buying salt from Liangshan.

They then used this to control other bandit strongholds in Huaixi.

After all, for the bandits of Huaixi now,

Relying on burning, killing, and looting,

Having enough to eat is naturally not a problem.

But this salt

But it is absolutely indispensable.

Do not eat salt for three to five days

Then one will feel completely drained of energy.

Let alone work,

Even walking makes my legs weak.

So this salt,

For the mountain villages of Huaixi,

It's also something that's absolutely indispensable.

prior to,

Other bandit strongholds,

They are all like Wang Qing,

They relied on smuggling salt from Shaanxi and Gansu.

But the salt was of poor quality.

It didn't taste good either.

If Wang Qing could get good salt from Liangshan,

For these bandit gangs...

Presumably, they will be able to control it more effectively.

Wang Qing was immediately tempted as well.

He quickly asked,

"Is it easy to buy the refined salt from Liangshan?"

“I asked about it before,”

Li Zhu replied.

"Buying the refined salt from Liangshan is very simple,"

"As long as enough money is paid,"

"Whoever,"

“They are all willing to buy.”

"Chief, don't be fooled by the fact that the government and Liangshan were fighting fiercely before."

"But inside that government office,"

"Many local officials, even those in Tokyo,"

"They're all secretly buying the fine salt from Liangshan."

"If we can buy the fine salt from Liangshan,"

"Then we can resell it,"

"The profit will be at least two or three times!"

"With money, what big things can't we accomplish?"

"Um,"

Wang Qing nodded.

Then he frowned and said,

"But we can buy salt from Liangshan,"

"Then other villages will do too,"

"By the time......"

"That's why we need to be on good terms with Liangshan,"

Assistant Li reminded him.

"We can totally fight with Liangshan,"

"Raise the price of salt a bit."

"Then they demanded Liangshan,"

"Don't touch this salt again,"
