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

The two of them went up to the city wall of the checkpoint one after the other.

On the open ground below,

A handsome young man dressed in a close-fitting outfit.

Leading about a hundred people, they waited in front of the checkpoint.

Beside him were two other people who looked similar.

This young man must be Fang La's son, Fang Tianding.

And the two young men beside him who looked alike...

It should be the brothers Chen Yi and Chen Tai.

Seeing Pang Qiuyan walk up the city wall,

Fang Tian, ​​standing below, shouted loudly.

"Is that Pang family girl up there?"

"I am Tianding, here to pay my respects to my esteemed elder brother, Chief Pang of Yangyouji!"

"Young Master Fang,"

Pang Qiuyan had clearly received instructions from Pang Wanchun long ago.

"Our Siming Mountain is in league with your Ming Cult,"

"We've never had any contact before."

"We appreciate Young Master Fang's kind intentions,"

“But my brother has important business to attend to right now and isn’t on the mountain.”

"Therefore, we can only ask Young Master Fang to return first!"

"Not here?"

Fang Tianding immediately frowned.

He knew it, of course.

This was Pang Wanchun's excuse for not wanting to see him.

But it came,

Am I going to make another wasted trip...?

Chapter 1187 Fang La in a Hurry

Fang Tianding has been quite troubled lately.

Because his father, Fang La, had been in a bad mood lately.

This caused Fang Tianding, who was standing beside him, to...

Often, mistakes are found.

Then teach them a lesson!

Take today's visit to Siming Mountain as an example.

If he returns empty-handed again,

After returning,

Fang La will definitely give him another lecture!

As for why his father, Fang La, had been in such a bad mood for the past six months,

Fang Tianding was naturally well aware of this.

In fact, in the final analysis

It's all because of Liangshan Marsh!

Although Liangshan is located in Shandong

And this place in Jiangnan received the Ming Cult,

It seems there's absolutely no connection!

But in Fang La's view,

The sudden rise of Liangshan

It has clearly affected his grand ambitions!

According to Fang La's original plan,

He will probably continue to lie low in Jiangnan for another year or two.

Use this time

Fang La planned to consolidate the power of the outlaws throughout Jiangnan.

This would rapidly increase the Ming Cult's combat capabilities.

After all, even now,

His Ming Cult had a large following in Jiangnan.

With a shout,

Hundreds of thousands of people could follow him in rebelling against the imperial court!

Among these people,

Most of them were just ordinary people.

It's acceptable to rely on their strength and momentum.

We were just about to rely on them to fight the war.

Without three to five fierce battles,

These people, who were used to being honest and obedient,

They will never become ruthless killers.

Originally, according to Fang La's plan...

After he consolidated the power of the bandits in Jiangnan,

So these bandit leaders,

And the followers he trusts.

They secretly trained the common people to become soldiers.

I don't expect them to become battle-hardened soldiers.

At the very least, they must be able to understand military flag commands!

To everyone's surprise, his plan was going very well...

In the Liangshan Marsh in Shandong

Suddenly, a guy named Zhao Dalang from Tokyo appeared!

prior to,

These Liangshan people ran rampant in Shandong.

When it attracted the attention of bandits and outlaws all over the world,

Fang La had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, not long after,

Liangshan then decisively defeated the more than 20,000 elite bandit-suppression troops sent by the Tokyo imperial court!

After this battle,

Although Liangshan had not yet raised the banner of rebellion or shouted slogans,

But it can be considered a semi-public rebellion!

This was crucial for those determined to overthrow the Song court.

Fang La, who made himself emperor, is an example.

This is clearly not good news!

A good bird chooses its tree to perch on, and a good minister chooses his lord to serve!

This applies even to bandits in the mountains!

After all, no one wants to join a power that has no future and is fleeting!

Liangshan suddenly rose to prominence.

After such a commotion throughout the world

Nowadays, many bandits and outlaws...

They all regard Liangshan as the leader who overthrew the Song court!

As for Fang La's recruitment

They immediately became indecisive!

Fang La originally thought,

Even if Liangshan gets there first,

But they were in Shandong's watery areas.

Thousands of miles away from this Jiangnan region,

Even if there is an impact, it will be limited!

The Liangshan rebels raised their banner of rebellion in Shandong.

It can also help attract some attention.

Incidentally, Fang La was also allowed to...

Take a good look at the true fighting strength of the Song court's army!

Especially the main force of the Song court, the Western Army,

If he could perish together with Liangshan,

That would be the best thing ever.

But then,

Something unexpected happened.

Liangshan actually sent ten naval warships south.

It stopped openly and legitimately off the coast of Mingzhou!

This is for the Jiangnan region, which has always been...

For Fang La, who was in charge of his own sphere of influence, this was for the sake of his own power base.

This is clearly a serious provocation!

What made him grit his teeth even more was...

Now that Liangshan has come to this...

Many outlaws in Jiangnan believed that Liangshan had designs on the south.

They're preparing to march south!

Many outlaws immediately had their own ideas.

The other party was recruited.

It's become neither hot nor cold!

Some had even previously agreed to join Fang La's bandit stronghold.
