"You mean, you are the eldest son of the original Blue Banner Lord Mang Gurtai, Ebi Lun?!"

Hearing that Ebi Lun reported to his home, Li Xiao almost couldn't believe his ears. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Immediately, without answering the equal amount, Li Xiao wrung his eyebrows and shouted: "Hmph, you say such a thing, there is no evidence, how can this official believe you?" ”

Ebi Lun smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Li, what the little one said is true, if the adult is willing, I can explain the turmoil of the Jin Dynasty during this period of time, and why I fled the Ming Kingdom, one by one, to Lord Li." ”

Li Xiao pondered for a moment and allowed him to continue.

Seeing that Li Xiao agreed, Ebi Lun told Li Xiao everything about the internal turmoil in Houjin, as well as the reasons and processes of his escape from the Ming Kingdom.

After listening to Er Bilun's narration, Li Xiao's brows were furrowed, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a faint smile.

However, in his heart, he felt a little regretful.

Originally, he thought that if he spread rumors like this, he would force Zhenglan Banner to rebel, and even let Derge take action to kill Huang Taiji in advance, in that case, it would be the most perfect result.

Taking a step back, if you can't do this, then if you let Neng Lanqi and Houjin fight each other in an all-out war, it can also make Huang Taiji very nerve-wracking, and eventually lead to a big loss of Houjin's national strength.

It's just that Li Xiao didn't expect that Huang Taiji would be so ruthless, and he would quickly solve the Zhenglan Banner Lord Dege class, and then beat and pull the rebellious remnants, and finally made it fall apart. And those Zhenglan Banner soldiers stationed in various places in the Later Jin Dynasty, under the strict supervision of the Later Jin Imperial Court, were finally easily defeated due to the lack of effective leadership.

Tartar Emperor Taiji, the real hero!

Such a result is no different from the original history, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh, if you want to play a trick and opportunistic tricks, you have to change the general trend of history, how ridiculous!

Of course, Li Xiao's efforts were not useless, his act of forcibly changing history made the Zhenglan Banner Zuo Meile Ezhen Tun Bulu who was originally executed by Ling Chi flee without a trace, and in addition, the original Zheng Lan Banner Jia La'e Zhen Ebi Lun and Haoge's wife Zhuo Naxi were able to survive and fall into their own hands.

Zhuo Nahi, the poor woman who had been killed by Hauge himself in the original history, got a chance to survive because of her own forcible change of history.

Li Xiao sighed lightly in his heart, and said to Ebilun: "I have a vast land in the Ming Dynasty, and you two can find a place to live incognito, but why do you want to serve this official?" ”

There was another wry smile on his face: "If you don't meet an adult in the next place, you may really live in seclusion in the Ming Kingdom as the adult said, and spend this life." Now that I have met an adult, I am not willing to be so depressed anymore. ”

"Oh, but why?"

"Lord Li, with only more than 2,000 soldiers under your command that day, you were able to resist nearly 10,000 people in Jinjiazhuang Fort in Xuanfu Town, and resist my army of nearly 10,000 people. After this war, the name of the adult spread all over the blue flag. Therefore, now I have to meet an adult, and I am willing to serve the adult. ”

Forehead Bilun sighed, and then said: "Besides, I am only 26 years old this year, and I am in the prime of life, I really don't want to live like this, I implore that I can serve in Lord Li's army, but I also hope that if I can return to Liaodong and Jin in the future, I will definitely take the dog head of Huang Taiji and Haoge to relieve the hatred in my heart!" ”

Li Xiao looked directly at the angry eyes of Forehead, smiling at him, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.

Originally, according to Li Xiao's original thoughts, he planned to kill all the people who loved the Jueluo family in order to relieve the hatred in his heart. Now this Ebi Lun happened to vote by chance, but it made him a little difficult.

Do you really want to kill this desperate guy with a knife?

Li Xiao pondered for a long time, and finally decided to take him in.

This Ebi Lun, who was cornered by Huang Taiji, now expresses his allegiance to himself, it should be sincere, after all, if he doesn't want to work all his life, joining Li Xiao's army is the only way he can go.

If this person can serve wholeheartedly, when he counterattacks Houjin in the future, if he is used properly, as the eldest son of Mang Gurtai, he should still have considerable appeal to the rest of the Zhenglan Banner, which is equivalent to planting a hidden bomb in the Houjin army.

Moreover, if this forehead can be reused under his own hands in the future, it can also be a good way to effectively divide and disintegrate the ruling class of the Later Jin.

After all, a great man in a previous life also said that it is necessary to mobilize all positive factors to strive for victory. Li Xiao believes that this forehead will play a unique role in his own hands.

Li Xiao raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, you have such a mind, but the official is not hesitant to give you a chance!" From now on, you will serve in my Red Phoenix Battalion Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, starting from an ordinary heavy cavalry, if you make military achievements in the future, this official will also give you a promotion and reward! ”

Ebi Lun looked surprised and inexplicable, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and snorted: "The slave Xie Li took in the kindness, and he will definitely try his best to die to repay it!" ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Put away your Jurchen set, now that you have joined our army, you must act according to the rules of our army, and after returning to Shandong, you need to cut off your braids, grow your hair and wear my Hanfu in the future, and from now on, you will completely draw a line with your past." ”

After listening to Feng Shi's translation, Ebi Lun immediately said loudly: "Master Li, why wait until you return to Shandong, cut your braids now, and make your mind clear!" ”

Li Xiao laughed and ordered Feng Shi to untie his body and hand it to him.

Ebi Lun took the knife, bit his teeth, grabbed the braid with one hand, held the knife in the other, and cut it off against the scalp and braided it.

"Well, he is a decisive man! Li will tell you again, you are not the only Jurchen in our army, that Ilgen Jue Luoashan's eldest nephew Chata and his subordinate Jurchen soldiers are also serving in our army, but you will be able to meet him in the future. Li Xiao said with a smile.

Ebi Lun was shocked: "No, the white flag lord Duoduo once said that Chata had died outside Jinzhou City like Ah Shan, but I didn't expect him to join your army." ”

"Chata is a smart man, and he understands that those who know the times are handsome, and it is better to join our army than to be beheaded by the defeated army, so as to regain the rank of promotion." Li Xiao patted Ebilun on the shoulder and said solemnly: "I hope that from now on, Ebilun, you can serve our army loyally, and in the future, you will not only avenge Huang Taiji's hatred, but also work hard for yourself to have a good future." ”

"Master Li, rest assured, you will swear allegiance to the death!" After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Xiao again.

After the conversation, next, Li Xiao asked Feng Shi to arrange a separate room for Ebi Lun to rest, and then asked Feng Shi to take him down.

After settling down on the forehead, Li Xiao walked to the side of the ship alone, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, only to see the vast sea, the moonlight, and unconsciously had a thousand thoughts.

Three days later, Li Xiao's fleet finally came to Phi Island.

Phi Island, in the east of the Yalu River estuary, is also known as the Dongjiang River. Phi Island is 15 miles from east to west and 10 miles from north to south, the island is not too big, and it is basically a plain terrain. In the previous life, China was already part of Korea and was renamed Linden Island.

During the Ming Dynasty, this place was originally the territory of North Korea, but because Phi Island is located between Liaodong, North Korea and Houjin, the sea surface of the north coast is 80 miles to reach Houjinjie, and its Northeast Sea is North Korea, which is related to the three parties, and the location is urgent. Later, it was forcibly leased from North Korea by Mao Wenlong, the first commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and became the location of the base camp of Dongjiang Town.

When Li Xiao and the others went ashore, they heard a rough voice coming from afar: "Which one is General Li, Shen is busy with military affairs, and he is not welcomed, I hope Li Qianhu will not see outside." ”

Li Xiao followed the prestige and saw a tall, burly general, about fifty years old, wearing a gorgeous cold-forged steel scab armor, an eight-petal phoenix-winged helmet, a red cloak of lake silk weaving flowers on his shoulders, and a pair of steel heavy-soled combat boots.

The general was accompanied by two people, and on the left was Shen Zhixiang, the deputy commander-in-chief. On the right, there is a stout general with a thick beard, dark skin, and a hideous scar on his face.

Li Xiao said secretly, this person should be Shen Shikui, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, without a doubt.

"Li Xiao, the chief soldier of the Red Phoenix Guard, has seen the chief soldier Shen." Li Xiao also laughed and stepped forward and saluted Shen Shikui.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, Mr. Li came to my Phi Island far away, but it was a rare guest, but Shen was not considerate, and I ask Mr. Li to forgive me." Shen Shikui patted Li Xiao's shoulder affectionately, and said with a sigh: "I heard that a certain family heard that Li Zongbing's young heroes have broken the Tartars in Jinjiazhuang Fort and outside Jinzhou City, and his merits have been outstanding. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Mr. Shen has an overreputation, such a compliment, how can Li Xiao be decent." ”

Shen Shikui shook his head and said, "Deserve it, deserve it!" Ben will start in the village, he is a rough man, and he likes to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield. A certain word, Li Qianhu must be deserved. By the way, if you come to our place in the future, General Li doesn't have to be so restrained and wear official uniforms to meet you, just feel free. ”

Shen Shikui's words made Li Xiao's heart warm, in fact, he has always been a casual person, and he has never liked to wear official clothes, but considering the first meeting, he still has to be polite for a few weeks before wearing formal clothes.

Li Xiao hurriedly said: "General Huang's intimacy is the end of the general's heart. ”

Shen Shikui laughed, and then hurriedly introduced Shen Zhixiang, the deputy commander-in-chief, and Jin Riguan, the deputy general and captain of the family, to Li Xiao, and the two sides immediately saluted each other.

Shen Zhishen and Li Xiao had long been acquainted, and the two greeted each other with a smile. And Jin Riguan on the side also stepped forward and respectfully saluted Li Xiao to his subordinates.

Li Xiao noticed that the deputy general Jin Riguan looked at him with admiration and envy in his eyes.

Subsequently, Shen Shikui took Li Xiao and others into the camp, and asked people to prepare a feast to catch the wind for Li Xiao and others.

In the living room, Shen Shikui retreated left and right and talked with Li Xiao alone.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Li Xiao spoke: "Mr. Shen, Li has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and this time I came to Guidao, I really have something important to ask for." ”

"Mr. Li, but for the sake of those firearms craftsmen, my nephew has already told Mr. Ben about this." Shen Shikui took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Li bought this batch of firearms craftsmen for 50,000 taels of silver, which shows Mr. Li's ambition." ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Li is now in the Chifeng Guard Office in Shandong, everything is hastily created, and the development of firearms is slow due to the lack of technicians and craftsmen, so he has to come to your land to buy people, which is really a helpless move, and I also asked Shen Zongbing to raise his noble hand and let me bring back this batch of craftsmen." ”

Hearing Li Xiao's sincere words, Shen Shikui immediately began to think about it in his heart.

These firearms craftsmen, to be honest, are dispensable in Dongjiang Town, where they are living in chaos, and it is okay to give them to Li Xiao, but now that Li Xiao has come to ask for it in person, he can raise the price higher.

After all, the benefits can't be swallowed by the nephew Shen Zhixiang alone.

"Mr. Li, in fact, the reason why I kept this group of craftsmen temporarily that day also has a last resort, you know, this group of craftsmen has been coming to my Dongjiang Town for a long time, and the work is also familiar, if this group of craftsmen leaves suddenly, then I Dongjiang Town still need to find craftsmen from other places, but it will cost a lot of money."

Li Xiao chuckled lightly, he looked directly at Shen Shikui's flickering eyes, and said clearly: "Li also knows that Shen Zongbing must have his own difficulties, so let's do it, Li will not beat around the corner, please ask Shen Zongbing to make a price, so that Li can take away the craftsman." ”

Shen Shikui was overjoyed when he saw Li Xiao so direct and cheerful, he patted his thigh and said loudly: "Okay!" Shen can see that Mr. Li is also a cheerful person, so let's do it, I will quote a real price, if Mr. Li can give another 50,000 taels of silver, Shen will let you take people away, no two words! ”

Hearing Shen Shikui's big mouth, Li Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, okay, as soon as he opened his mouth, the selling price of these craftsmen doubled, and they did a good deal.

It seems that if there is really a nephew, there must be an uncle, this Shen Shikui is a rough and heroic military general on the outside, but on the inside he is the same as that Shen Zhishen, just a greedy and realistic businessman.

It's just that Li Xiao is not so stupid, he agreed to Shen Shikui's request, he smiled and said: "Shen Zongbing, regardless of your breach of contract first, now your price increase is too high, my Chifengwei has only just started, money and food are in short supply, how can I have a lot of silver to buy a craftsman." It seems that this deal will not be done. ”

Shen Shikui's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, he hesitated for a while, and said curtly: "Mr. Li, this price is also negotiable. Besides, when you come to my Phi Island, you should have seen that because of the uncontinued salary, the military and civilian life on my Phi Island is miserable, so I have to find a way to do some business to supplement the needs of the military and civilians. ”

Seeing that Shen Shikui instantly lowered his posture, Li Xiao laughed, he lowered his voice and said: "Chief Shen, everyone is a Ming official army, so they should watch and help each other, and they should be in the same breath. Your army is stationed on the island, and life is indeed hard, so let's do it, Shen Zongbing's 50,000 taels of silver, Li Xiao accepted it, as long as Shen Zongbing agreed to Li's small condition, the 50,000 taels of silver will be deducted from the payment at that time. ”

Shen Shikui heard Li Xiao's promise, and his heart was overjoyed, and then he heard him say that there was a condition, and he couldn't help but be very suspicious, he hurriedly asked: "But I don't know, what conditions does General Li want Shen to agree?" ”

Li hopes that the ocean island under the jurisdiction of your army can be handed over to our army for long-term use. If Mr. Shen can agree, we will be able to reach an agreement. Li Xiao looked directly into Shen Shikui's eyes and said clearly.
