"As far as I know,"
"Many officials of the imperial court,"
"They've already gotten mixed up with the Ming Cult."
"Some merchants from the south mentioned this before,"
"Two months ago, Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult, used the pretext that Liangshan was going to invade Jiangnan,"
"Most of the leaders of the bandit strongholds in Jiangnan have been gathered in Mingzhou,"
"Then Fang La sent his followers to besiege Mingzhou City,"
"We want to force the leaders of the bandit strongholds to surrender and join the Ming Cult."
"Who knew that halfway there, they were stopped by Zhao Dalang, the leader of Liangshan,"
"Enter Mingzhou City by sea on a ship,"
"Rescue some of the bandit leaders who refused to surrender to the Ming Cult,"
"And the remaining bandit leaders,"
"They were basically all killed by the Ming Cult!"
"Furthermore, when Liangshan was still rescuing people,"
"Send someone to kill the prefect of Mingzhou,"
"They looted the entire city of Mingzhou..."
"what?"
Liu Guang's eyes widened in fury upon hearing this.
"Such an important matter,"
Why are you only telling me now?
"Chief, I only heard about these things in the last couple of days,"
Zhen Xianglin said helplessly,
"Now it's winter,"
"There are far fewer traveling merchants on this road."
"Our Yuanbi Village,"
"This information has indeed been somewhat out of touch."
"It would be best to have someone keep an eye on things at the hotel in town from now on,"
"Otherwise, even if a huge incident occurs outside,"
"We still can't hear a single whisper of news in our mountain stronghold."
"Hmph, Ming Cult, Liangshan,"
Liu Guang said angrily,
"These traitors and rebels,"
"They're really getting more and more lawless!"
"I heard about the chaos in Mingzhou,"
Zhen Xianglin continued,
"Now in the South,"
"Fang La has already started fighting with those outlaws who are unwilling to surrender to the Ming Cult,"
"Once we've dealt with these bandits,"
"That Ming Cult is most likely..."
"They're going to raise the flag and rebel too."
"So, Chieftain,"
"At this time,"
Fang La was determined to deal with the bandits of Jiangnan.
"He simply doesn't care about ordinary little things."
"This is the perfect opportunity for us to rob that powerful Ming Cult family."
"......good!"
Liu Guang didn't think much of it.
He immediately nodded in agreement with Zhen Xianglin's proposal.
"Just as General Zhen said,"
"Let's send men south to rob those wealthy families in Jiangnan,"
"Who among you is willing to go south?"
The people in the hall looked at each other.
In the end, they all scrambled for it.
They all expressed their desire to go down the mountain.
In this day and age,
Although Jiangnan was not as well developed as it was during the Ming and Qing dynasties,
But it's already a beautiful place with clear mountains and waters.
Anyway,
The scenery of Jiangnan
It's definitely better than the snow-covered landscape of Yuanbi Village.
It's much more comfortable!
"Since the Ming Cult has such a large influence in the south,"
Chen Xizhen reminded him,
"Then the troops heading south,"
"It can't be too conspicuous."
"It's best to divide them into small teams of several dozen people,"
"They went south under the guise of a caravan."
"And also, our target,"
"Don't choose one that's too big!"
“Those wealthy families in the towns,”
"In the end, it was still too conspicuous."
"Once we provoke the Ming Cult,"
"Even if we manage to steal the money then,"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to bring it back."
"Yes, Master Chen is right,"
Zhen Xianglin nodded and said,
"In my opinion, sixty or seventy people will be enough for this trip south."
"After arriving at the destination,"
"Let's find a place to stay first,"
"After that, we each went our separate ways."
"Once we seize the money and grain, we must march north in batches."
"Safety must be the top priority in everything."
"Um,"
Liu Guang nodded.
"As for those who went south,"
"The true general will stay in the village to train the soldiers,"
"Qi'er is a true general's assistant, and he can't leave either,"
"Then let Brother Chen take the lead, and Master Fan assist him,"
"Lin'er and the Gou brothers,"
"The five of you will head south together,"
"As for the men you bring,"
"Sixty or seventy people would be enough,"
"Go down and choose for yourselves,"
"Remember, always choose those who are honest, reliable, and trustworthy,"
"Understood?"
"Don't worry, Brother Liu,"
Chen Xizhen laughed,
"I will certainly be cautious and careful in handling such an important matter."
"We are all from the North,"
Fan Chenglong couldn't help but say,
"Once we get to the south, we probably won't even be able to understand what they're saying,"
"If we're going south, it would be best to find another southerner..."
Chapter 1430 Zengtou City
“Master Fan is right,”
Zhen Xianglin agreed.
"Chief, it would be best to find someone from Jiangnan for our journey south."
"Otherwise, after we head south,"
"What if we fall for the tricks of those people from Jiangnan?"
"We don't even know what's going on yet!"
"That is a problem,"
Liu Guang nodded and said,
"But who among us knows anyone from Jiangnan?"
"Chief, I do have an old friend,"
Fan Chenglong suddenly said,
"That man's surname is Yang, his given name is Tengjiao, and he is from Jiangzhou."
"As the saying goes, a person's name reflects their character, and Yang Tengjiao is also an excellent swimmer."
"He's fishing on the river near Jiangzhou now,"
"Why don't we invite him to come south with us?"
"Since he is an old friend of Master Fan,"
