"Either we snatch Ye Chun away, or we kill him!"
"this....."
Fang Tianding immediately looked troubled.
"Father, Ye Chun was rescued from our hands by Liangshan,"
"If something happens to him at this time, it means we've covered our tracks cleanly."
"Then Liangshan must know that we did it."
"So what? Are we, the Ming Cult, afraid of Liangshan?"
Fang La angrily said,
"In terms of strength, our Ming Cult has over a million members,"
"Let alone one Liangshan, even ten Liangshans,"
"We can easily flatten it too!"
"But Father, we haven't raised the flag of rebellion yet!"
Fang Tianding advised,
"If we start a conflict with Liangshan now,"
"Even if we win against Liangshan, so what?"
"Father, our true enemy,"
"But those government offices are the imperial court!"
"Now the Ming Cult and Liangshan are at war,"
"In the end, isn't the imperial court the one who benefits and is happy?"
"Won't this have a huge impact on our future endeavors?"
"And what do you mean?"
Fang La snorted coldly.
"Just let Liangshan buy boats and timber like that,"
"And then in the future, they'll use the warships built from that leaf-shaped ship to become enemies of our Ming Cult?"
"Father, those warships are not easy to build,"
Fang Tianding advised,
Even if Ye Chun is skilled in shipbuilding,
"It will take three to five years to build the warships."
"And by then, we will surely have raised the flag of rebellion,"
"At that time, our enemy, just like Liangshan, will be the imperial court!"
As for whether they will become enemies with Liangshan in the future,
"That's at least ten years from now,"
"Is it too early to consider these things now?"
"Having said so much,"
Fang La said with a dark face,
"What you mean is that you just want Liangshan to continue operating in Jiangnan, doing whatever they want."
"Father, judging from the recent actions of Liangshan,"
Fang Tianding analyzed,
"The purpose of Liangshan's southward expedition was likely to purchase warships and timber for shipbuilding,"
"In my opinion, rather than letting Liangshan continue to stir up trouble in Jiangnan,"
"Why don't we secretly give it a push?"
"Let Liangshan buy warships and timber as soon as possible, and then leave."
"As long as Liangshan leaves Jiangnan, they'll be rid of this slippery eel,"
"Jiangnan will surely return to its former peace..."
Chapter 1227 Liangshan as a Barrier?
"As long as Jiangnan returns to its former state,"
Fang Tianding spoke cautiously,
Seeing that Fang La's expression was growing increasingly grim...
Although he was terrified,
But she still expressed all her thoughts.
"Our Ming Cult can continue to accumulate strength,"
"To unite with heroes from all around,"
"We'll rise up in rebellion when the time is right,"
"To overthrow the imperial court in one fell swoop and rebuild this chaotic world."
"Father, for the greater cause,"
Fang Tianding immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Please, Father, be patient a little longer."
"Tolerate....."
Fang La gritted his teeth and said,
"As your father, I'm terrified that we'll eventually face a formidable enemy!"
"Father, it doesn't have to be like that,"
Fang Tianding laughed,
"Father should be aware of the current state of the world,"
"Now, Wang Qing of Huaixi and Tian Hu of Hebei,"
"They have already openly raised the banner of rebellion,"
"Although Liangshan did not openly rebel,"
"But what they did was almost tantamount to a rebellion,"
"Wait until our Ming Cult raises the banner of rebellion again,"
"With the combined efforts of all four sides, we will surely be able to overthrow the Song court!"
"And on the imperial court's side, there's Tian Hu in Hebei, Wang Qing in Huaixi, Liangshan in Shandong, and our Ming Cult in Jiangnan,"
"Father, which side do you think the Tokyo court will send a large army to deal with first?"
"Of these four places, Wang Qing and Tian Hu are the closest to Tokyo,"
Fang La frowned and said,
"Next came Liangshan,"
"Our Ming Cult is the furthest from Bianliang."
"Given the timid and cowardly nature of that Song Dynasty emperor,"
"We must deal with Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Liangshan first,"
"Once we've dealt with these enemies right next to our bed,"
"Send another large army to Jiangnan to deal with our Ming Cult!"
"So, you see,"
Fang Tianding laughed,
"So Liangshan, in a way, is also a shield for our Ming Cult against the imperial court!"
"With them in front of us,"
"Then the imperial court will not have time to send troops to Jiangnan to deal with us."
"The longer Liangshan held out in Shandong,"
"Since we're in Jiangnan, we'll have more time,"
"We've conquered cities and territories, and grown stronger!"
"So now we have to help Liangshan,"
"Helping them expand their online army is tantamount to helping our Ming Cult secure its future, isn't it?"
"If Liangshan were directly defeated by the imperial court,"
"Won't our Ming Cult be forced to face the imperial army far too soon?"
"Hmm, what you said makes a good point."
Fang La pondered for a moment and said,
"With Liangshan there in Shandong,"
"It does indeed bring many benefits to our Ming Cult."
"So, Father,"
Fang Dingtian inquired,
"Why don't we do it according to my wishes?"
"We secretly instructed those shipyard owners in Minnesota,"
"Make them sell all their ships and timber to Liangshan."
"But what if Liangshan manages to buy the warships and timber?"
Fang La said with concern,
"But they still refuse to leave?"
"Then why not secretly send someone to spread some more information?"
Fang Tianding suggested,
"Tell me about the internal strife that broke out at Liangshan,"
"The chieftain, Zhao Dalang from Tokyo, was seriously injured,"
"Or perhaps the imperial court, through the prefectures, dispatches a large army to the marshland to wipe out Liangshan..."
Chapter 1228 Reluctant to Part with the Child
"Jiangnan is a thousand miles away from Shandong,"
Fang Dingtian laughed.
"Once this news reaches the Ruan brothers,"
"And there's Zhao Da's ear,"
"They'll definitely panic,"
"I can't wait to get back to Shandong."
"Your idea is quite good,"
Fang La nodded approvingly.
"In that case,"
