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

I want to buy a house to use as a shop.

After all, there was the example of Liangshan's former commercial town.

This newly built stone commercial town,

At the very least, business won't be much worse than before.

Originally in winter,

It was a time when trade routes were not thriving.

Most of the businessmen stayed cozy in their homes.

Only a few people work themselves to the bone for money.

That's why they were willing to endure the coldest days of winter.

Go out to do business.

But Liangshan obtained a commercial town.

But it was an accident.

Since before,

After Liangshan decisively defeated the government's encirclement and suppression army,

The businessman who originally ran away,

He immediately rushed back.

Originally, after seeing the town burned down,

These businessmen were inevitably heartbroken.

After all, Liangshan is a commercial town.

That's a place where you can make a fortune every day.

If this commercial town were gone,

The one that screamed the most pitifully,

These are the businessmen.

Fortunately, afterwards,

Liangshan rebuilt the ruins of the commercial town.

They said they would rebuild it.

These merchants then hurriedly stayed behind.

Now that the stone-built commercial town has been completed,

These businessmen originally wanted to buy some houses.

To facilitate future business,

But when he asked someone from Liangshan,

Only then did I learn that

This is a brick house on Liangshan Mountain.

As before,

They are all renting, not buying.

Disappointed, these merchants

They could only hurry up and finalize the plans for the brick houses they had their eyes on.

The entire commercial town,

There are a total of three hundred houses.

Within two days,

They were all rented out by these merchants.

quickly,

The western bank of the lake, which had been calm for more than two months,

Then it became lively again.

Beyond business

When this new commercial town was being built...

A waterway was even specially reserved.

It leads directly to the pool behind.

There are also secret passages within the city.

It leads to a nearby mountain valley.

And these,

All of this was prepared in preparation for the government troops' encirclement and suppression campaign next year.

this year,

Although Zhao Yuan set fire

They burned down the government office and gained 20,000 troops.

Although the fire burned intensely,

But a perfectly good commercial town

If we could have defended back then,

Zhao Yuan and Xu Guanzhong,

They wouldn't resort to such a desperate measure.

The old commercial town didn't even have city walls.

Faced with the government troops' encirclement and suppression, they had no way to deal with it.

Now that the city walls have been newly built,

Even if the number of government troops doubles next year,

Zhao Yuan and his men were not afraid at all...

Chapter 1095 Firearms Development

This year,.

In order to deal with Liangshan,

Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and others

They only sent more than 20,000 government troops to Liangshan.

But with the defeat of the government troops,

Behind the scenes, Cai Jing and his team

Even if the mistakes of defeat have been made,

They pinned all the blame on generals like Huyan Zhuo.

But the world will laugh at them.

And Emperor Zhao Ji also deserves to be reprimanded.

This clearly made Cai Jing and Tong Guan feel resentful.

So we waited until next year.

The imperial court dispatched a large army to suppress Liangshan.

I'm afraid it would cost at least forty or fifty thousand.

If there are many,

It's not impossible for it to reach tens of thousands.

And everything that Liangshan is doing now.

All of this was in preparation for dealing with the government troops next year.

And they are making preparations.

.....

In the Hall of Gathering Righteousness,

After Zhao Yuan and Xu Guanzhong discussed some matters concerning Shangzhen and Yuncheng,

Just as I was getting up to go to the drill ground,

Let's take a look at the soldiers' training.

But unexpectedly, at this moment,

Suddenly a soldier came to report.

On Liu Huiniang's side,

Let Zhao Yuan, Xu Guanzhong, and Zhu Wu be the three of them.

Let's go together.

"That girl, Ah Xiu, has been busy with firearms research lately,"

Zhao Yuan chuckled.

"Look how eager she is to get us over there,"

"It seems that the development of this firearm is almost complete and has made great progress."

"The chieftain has always valued this firearm,"

Zhu Wu asked in confusion,

"But are these firearms really that powerful?"

"Firearms have just been developed, and their power may not be that great yet,"

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and then explained,

"But as things develop in the future,"

"It will eventually replace the current crossbows and catapults."

"I still think it's a bit unrealistic,"

Zhu Wu shook his head and said,

"Haha, just how powerful are firearms?"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"We'll find out soon enough,"

"Why is the strategist in such a hurry?"

.....

Zhao Yuan brought Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu with him.

Along the path on Liangshan Mountain,

We arrived at a sparsely populated mountain valley.

To know,

On Liangshan now,

There are approximately 70,000 to 80,000 residents.
