Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 217 Thirty Road Rebels

Song Jiang was helpless when facing the leaders who were cheering for him to become king!I can only use the procrastination trick!Report the matter quickly!
In fact, Song Jiang also knew that as long as the news of proclaiming himself king spreads, no matter whether he proclaimed himself king or not, the Song Empire would never trust him again!

But Song Jiang can't help it!
There are many people from the Imperial City Division in the village. Even if Song Jiang doesn't report it, the Imperial City Division will know it soon!Moreover, if he conceals the truth and lets the Imperial City Secretary know that he has thoughts, then the Imperial City Secretary will definitely use any means to deal with him!
Song Jiang was not willing to take risks and challenge the bottom line of the Imperial City Division and the authority of the Song Empire!
However, the development of many things does not center on personal will!
Song Jiang did not dare to claim the throne, but Zhu Jixi wanted to separate Song Jiang from the Song Empire!
The envoys of Fang La, Chao Gai, Wang Qing, and Tian Hu left.Song Jiang finally suppressed the voice of the village leader who encouraged him to become king!

But there was no reply from the Imperial City Division, so a message was placed in front of Song Jiang!

In the slogan, it is clearly written that Song Jiang, Fang La, Chao Gai, Wang Qing, and Tian Hu formed an alliance and determined to overthrow the Song Empire!In addition, the five people raised armies for the cause of justice and should proclaim themselves kings.

Wang Qing established the Kingdom of Chu and named himself King of Chu;

Tian Hu established the Jin Kingdom and named himself King of Jin;

Chao Gai established the Liang Kingdom and named himself King of Liang;

Fang La established the Kingdom of Wu and named himself King of Wu (Holy Duke); although Fang La proclaimed himself the leader of the Ming Cult, he did not dare to call himself King Ming. The Ming Empire was now at its peak, and Fang La did not dare to feel uncomfortable!

Song Jiang was honored as the King of Zhou in the appeal!

As soon as this statement came out, it quickly caused an uproar in the Song Empire!All the officials in the imperial court, including civil and military officials, spoke harshly of the five bandits' outrageous behavior!

Since ancient times, those who dare to speak out and call themselves kings have always been the targets of the empire's key crusade!In fact, it was only at the end of the dynasty that several kings coexisted within the empire!
Now, although the Song Empire is weak in national power, its foundation is still there!This is not the end of the dynasty!

As soon as the declaration of kingship came out, the imperial court of the Song Dynasty quickly reached an agreement that the five major bandits must be eradicated.

The ruling class of the Song Empire will never let the five bandits go; because they are the vested interests of the Song Empire!Naturally, we must maintain the rule of the Song Empire!They can fight among themselves and fight for power, but the big ship of the Song Empire must not sink!At the very least, it can't sink while they're still on board!
The first time Song Jiang saw the title of king, he almost fainted!He, Song Jiang, was a loyal minister of the Song Empire!He's not a rebel who arrogantly claims the throne!pity!No one will believe Song Jiang's voice, and no one will pay attention to it!

As soon as the declaration of kingship comes out, the Imperial City Secretary will not believe Song Jiang, the court officials will not believe Song Jiang, and the emperor will not believe Song Jiang!

Song Jiang, who forcibly calmed down, knew that he had no way out!The Song Empire will never tolerate himself being the king!Even if the Song Empire holds back and gives itself some benefits now, it must be to confuse and stabilize itself!Finally, it’s time to settle the ledger!
Now that there was no way out, Song Jiang felt a lot more relaxed, and there was even a hint of joy deep in his heart!
'King Zhou' is a prince!Even if he is a grass-headed king, his trip to this world is not in vain!An idea that even Song Jiang himself was not aware of began to grow deep in his heart.

Although Zhu Jixi's plan was a conspiracy, it clearly cut off all Song Jiang's escape routes!
Even if Song Jiang is loyal to the Song Empire; even if everyone in the Song Empire knows that Song Jiang is loyal to the empire, if Song Jiang becomes king, in the eyes of the Song Empire, Song Jiang must die!Imperial power cannot be violated!

Since ancient times, countless bloody lessons have explained this truth to the world.

Of course, Zhu Jixi's calculation goes beyond that. Even the title of Song Jiang's 'King of Zhou' was carefully chosen by Zhu Jixi!

Previously, Song Jiang's men from the Martial Arts Alliance were exposed; finally, Dao Yan's plan drew the attention of the Imperial City Division to the 'Tianzun' organization!This 'Tianzun' organization is a remnant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!

Someone from the 'Tianzun' organization appeared in Song Jiang's Dazhai before, but now, Song Jiang claims to be King of Zhou again!

What's this!In the eyes of the Imperial City Secretary, Song Jiang was nakedly playing with the Imperial City Secretary! '

Isn't the long-cherished wish of Tianzun's organization to restore the Great Zhou Empire?Song Jiang claims to be the 'King of Zhou', he is probably an undercover agent of the 'Tianzun' organization, right?
When Song Jiang realized something was wrong, the Imperial City Division had already taken the initiative to cut off contact with Song Jiang!Seeing the people of the Imperial City Division disappearing silently in the village, Song Jiang was filled with helplessness and depression, and at the same time, he was also a little bit excited!
Since the Song Empire abandoned him, Song Jiang quickly made up his mind to 'claim himself king'!
In fact, even Song Jiang himself didn’t know that his loyalty was never to the Song Empire, but to power, wealth, and success!
Song Jiang, who was born as a minor official, had a great obsession with being an official and having power!
Otherwise, he would not join the Imperial City Division and make friends with the heroes!
When Song Jiang failed in the imperial examination and lost hope of becoming an official, deep down in his heart, Song Jiang became more and more passionate about power!

It was Song Jiang's long-awaited plan to turn the grass into bandits!There are many heroes in the Song Empire who came from green forests and were recruited!And recruitment is Song Jiang's only hope!
Now, although the hope of recruitment has been completely shattered, isn't becoming king the ultimate pursuit of Song Jiang?
Everyone in the village was very enthusiastic about Song Jiang becoming king!As soon as Song Jiang relented, the village leaders prepared everything in just three days and raised the banner of 'King of Zhou'!

In order to win over people's hearts, Song Jiang, who proclaimed himself king, ennobled the commanders of the villages; the generals and princes dispersed like water!

Song Jiang proclaimed himself king, and Chao Gai, Fang La, Wang Qing, and Tian Hu were not willing to be seconded, and each became king!
The situation in the Song Empire was extremely lively amidst the hustle and bustle of the five major bandits becoming kings!
Under the encirclement and suppression by the Song Empire army, the remaining rebel armies were not to be outdone!

The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts!The slightly more powerful rebel leaders also began to declare themselves kings!As for the weak rebels, they all joined the ranks of the Five Bandits and the King of Rebels to fight for their future!

Zhu Jixi did not expect that his declaration of kingship would gradually make the situation of the Song Empire gradually clearer!
With the integration of the rebels!In just over a month, the situation of war all over the Song Empire disappeared!
What is left is a situation where the five major bandits are led by 32 rebels, each occupying one side!
The changes in the situation of the Song Empire made Zhu Jixi extremely happy!
Although there were countless rebels in the past, they all worked in their own way and lacked strength!

Most of the rebels were defeated at the first touch when faced with the Imperial Army and the Xiang Army of the Song Empire!Now, multiple rebel armies are united into one, and their strength is greatly enhanced!
Although they are still no match for the Song Empire, these rebels can already fight against the local Xiang troops!

The integration of the rebel army and the emergence of the 32nd rebel king will make it more difficult for the Song Empire to suppress the rebels in the future!
