Xu Shiyang and Li Feifeng confronted each other faintly.

His words were too harsh.

But I have to say, it's the truth.

The Li family was desperate and went through Xu Shiyang's path to join Wen Xianggong, but when the plan went well, they turned to Wen Xianggong's competitors.

From the point of view of this era, this is a traitor.

If the main battle faction can really come to power, this kind of two or five boys will be 100% killed by the main battle faction court.

When the time comes, the best fate for the Li family is to return to the sea and become their pirates.

In this way, they get nothing but a waste of great opportunities and countless money.

But if he turned his head and threw himself back into the arms of the main battle faction, and transported the New Year's coins to the Tartars directly to Qi Province, Xu Shiyang could still find a reason to wash them into the main battle faction and go undercover for the main and faction.

In this way, the Li family may be scolded as a slave with three surnames, but at least they can keep the results of Zhao'an.

"Is there no other way?" Li Feifeng asked.

"Make no mistake, Shopkeeper Li." Xu Shiyang replied: "I'm not discussing with you, this is not only your Li family's last chance, but it's not enough to just do this." ”

"In view of the vacillation of your family's big treasurer, I have reason not to trust any of his promises anymore - my suggestion is to ask Brother Feihu to serve as the Li family's big treasurer and lead the Li family's future actions."

"General Xu, your hand is too long." Li Feifeng changed his image as a fisherman, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a terrifying light: "Do you also want to take care of the internal affairs of the Li family?" ”

"People respect me for a foot, and I return a foot for others." Xu Shiyang said indifferently: "It's the same if someone offends me. ”

"This is my request, whether the big shopkeeper agrees or not, and ask the shopkeeper Li to bring my intention back, and you can discuss it again."

Li Feifeng stared at Xu Shiyang.

After a long time, he stood up and turned away without looking back.

"Shopkeeper Li, as a former friend, I have to remind you that no matter what the choice is, you have to do it as soon as possible!"

Xu Shiyang shouted at Li Feifeng's back:

"I will not allow you to transport a shipload of wealth to Liaodong, my enemy!"

……

"Ganxiong, are you still here?"

Walking to the courtyard of the Xu family in Rizhao, Li Feifeng said coldly to Gan Xiong:

"Come back with me!"

"Second shopkeeper, Gan Xiong still wants to stay in Qi Province." Gan Xiong lowered his head, but refused in a very firm tone.

"You're going to be a traitor?" Li Feifeng sneered and threatened: "Your family is still in Shuangyu!" ”

"Ganxiong's life was given by the big shopkeeper, and Ganxiong will never betray the big shopkeeper." Gan Xiong replied calmly: "Gan Xiong also hopes that the second shopkeeper will not do this." ”

"When Commander Xu arrived in Shuangyu, the Xu family only had half of Qingzhou, and they couldn't even afford to support themselves, so they solicited sponsorships everywhere to find support."

"It's only been a year now, and the Xu family already has most of Qi Province, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they have defeated the Tartars' all-out counterattack, and now they can at least split the earth and seal the king in Qi Province."

"How to choose the big shopkeeper, Gan Xiong doesn't dare to say anything, but please leave Gan Xiong, it can be regarded as leaving a first-line contact with the Xu family, and when they meet in the future, the big shopkeeper and Commander Xu still have room to speak."

Li Feifeng went up and down a large number of times to be a man.

After thinking for a moment, he put away his anger and murderous aura, and said with a smile like a peaceful fisherman, "You have learned a lot in Qi Province." ”

"If you don't learn new things, you won't be able to stand in Qi Province." Gan Xiong lowered his head and replied, "They are developing too fast. ”

"They ......." Li Feifeng smiled: "Okay, as long as you remember who you are." ”

"Stay in Qi Province and see for us how far this Xu family can develop."

……

Li Feifeng only stayed in Qi Province for half a day, Xu Shiyang didn't give the Li family any face, and the two sides could almost be regarded as officially turning faces.

In this case, the biggest problem for Qi Province is that the sea is almost cut off - no ship dares to travel to and from Qi Province under the threat of Li pirates.

But the Li pirates did not dare to land, they knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Qi Provincial Army on land was far from being comparable to their own.

This gave Xu Shiyang a lot of time to complete the renovation of his fleet.

Because of the urgency of time, in the fleet headed by Deng Yingzhou, five medium-sized ships in good condition were equipped with new 8-kilogram guns, and the other five were filled with 4-kilogram guns.

In addition, 10 small Fukubunes and Hirobunes were specially selected to be incorporated into the fleet, and each of these small ships of about 50 to 70 tons was equipped with two magic cannons, which could be used to suppress the enemy in the event of an enemy.

Twenty specialized warships were supplemented with a large number of army personnel, who were trained in naval warfare near Dengzhou, adapted to artillery fire and naval combat capabilities on unstable platforms at sea.

September 9 of the 14th year of Jianxing.

Xu Shiyang received information from Li Feihu that the third batch of New Year's coins delivered by Li Feilong to Liaodong had departed.

Li Feilong had already delivered two batches of New Year's coins to Liaodong Tartar before, and the Li family originally planned to wait a little, at least until they were sure that Qi Province or Li Feihu would not pose too much of a threat to the fleet of New Year's coins.

But the Tartars, who had suffered heavy losses in the previous war, couldn't wait, and they kept urging Qin Xianggong to send the remaining New Year's coins quickly, and even planned to send an army of about 1,000 people from the Li family to Jiangnan to help Qin Huizhi stabilize the situation.

This is certainly not possible.

First of all, Emperor Jianxing himself did not dare to put even any Tartar formation troops around him.

Secondly, even a staunch Lord-peace faction (or rather, a surrender faction) like Qin Huizhi understood that the appearance of any Jurchen army in Jiangnan now was likely to cause greater chaos, which would inevitably go against his idea of stabilizing the situation and not giving the main battle faction Wen Xianggong a chance to fish in troubled waters, and it would also affect the collection of New Year's coins even more.

In order to appease the Jurchens, Qin Xianggong had to urge Li Feilong to complete the task of transporting the New Year's coins as soon as possible, so the number of New Year's coins in this batch exceeded the previous two times, about 30,000 taels of silver and silk, and 100,000 yuan of military money.

In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, Li Feibao, who firmly surrendered to Qin Xianggong, personally led 100 large and small ships to transport New Year's coins and set off.

He knew that Qi Province had more than 50 sea vessels of all sizes, so Li Feibao was confident that there should be no problem with the numerical superiority of two to one.

As a kind of support for the fleet, Li Feilong and Li Feifeng personally dispatched to watch Li Feihu and Li Feihuang one-on-one and monitor them to prevent these two pirate leaders from cooperating with Xu Shiyang to pose a threat to the New Year's coin.

However, what they didn't expect was that Xu Shiyang did not intend to use Li Feihu's power.

He believed that his fleet was capable of dealing with Li Feibao, after all, the Qi Provincial Fleet had an all-round firepower advantage.

In addition, because of Li Feihu's intelligence cooperation, Xu Shiyang knew exactly the time of Li Feibao's actions, and in order to prevent shipwrecks, he went offshore again, which gave Xu Shiyang a good opportunity to intercept.
