Chapter 170
More than a dozen long and short firearms were aimed at the man at the first time.
The man raised his hands in the air and slowly turned his body. When Li Xiao saw the man's face clearly, his mouth opened like a hippopotamus.
This guy is actually Li Yongfang, how bold is this, dare to go to Li Xiao's ship to negotiate with Li Xiao.
"Huh! Don't come unharmed, Lord Li! Li Yongfang smiled and hugged his fist at Li Xiao, and Li Hu held a pure steel shield in his hand to block in front of Li Xiao. Everyone is like a great enemy, as long as Li Yongfang's hand has any abnormal movement, he will definitely be beaten into a sieve.
"I didn't expect Lord Li to be so timid in Liaodong, people say that you are a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes, specializing in eating Jurchens."
Li Xiao stretched out his hand to pull Li Hu away, staring at Li Yongfang without blinking.
"Where did you get your faith, that you weren't afraid that I would throw you into the sea?" The sea is rough now, and although the sea surface is not frozen, the water temperature is definitely not something that people can bear. If you fall into the water, you will be frozen to death even if the water is good.
"Huh! Let's just talk here, it seems to be a little colder. Li Yongfang looked at Li Xiao's ship indifferently. A ship of 1,000 materials is also a big ship in Houjin. However, here in Li Xiao, it can only be regarded as a very ordinary ship.
Li Xiao also felt that it was not very cost-effective to talk nonsense with this guy on the deck. It's so fucking cold!
The cabin was warm and smoky, and there was a tin stove in the middle of the cabin. A copper kettle sat on it, and the water was boiling and steaming was bubbling up. Lu Zhu picked up the copper kettle and glared at Li Hu: "So blind, go get the tea!" ”
"You're ......!" The tiger master was about to scold back, but suddenly glanced at Li Xiao, and then went to get the tea very obediently.
After the teapot was scalded with boiling water, Green Beads made a pot of tea and placed it on the table.
"Huh! I heard that Master Li's tea is good, so I want to try it today. Li Yongfang poured himself a glass.
"Only when a friend comes can there be tea, and when an enemy comes, there is only a shotgun." Li Xiao was very wary of Li Yongfang.
Maybe it's hot in the house, or maybe it's because I'm afraid that Li Xiao will misunderstand. Li Yongfang took off his mink fur, revealing a black samurai suit inside.
"It's a friend, it's an enemy, you don't know until you talk about it. I didn't have a single piece of iron on my body today, and I didn't even bring my hand to eat. How's that, is sincerity enough? Li Yongfang handed the big ball to the green bead and hung it up, and sat back down opposite Li Xiao.
"It's not that you don't have a weapon to be sincere, let's say, what the hell are you doing, don't ink, I don't have that much time." The more Li Xiao looked at this traitor, the more angry he became, if this guy didn't say anything about his intentions, he would really let people throw Li Yongfang into the sea.
"You followed the green beads, proving that the negotiations were successful. I actually had reservations about the bottom of the green beads, and the conditions for me to come to the Great Khan were 600,000 taels of silver, and the population was 200,000. When Li Yongfang spoke, his eyes looked straight at Li Xiao, and he was paying attention to the slightest reaction on Li Xiao's face.
"Congratulations, your subordinates have saved you a lot of people and money." Li Xiao glanced at Lu Zhu angrily.
"I know that Midori has always been very capable. But what I'm trying to say now is ......! I am willing to give you all the money and money that the Great Khan promised. ”
"That's why you dare to come to my ship?"
"Yes! I am now worth fifty thousand lives, and a hundred thousand taels of silver. You have always been very concerned about the people of the Ming Dynasty, and you also care about the lives of the people. Actually, I'm gambling, but I'm 80% sure I'll win. Li Yongfang looked at Li Xiao with a smile, since he didn't do it now, it is estimated that he won't do it for a while.
"That's a two-tenth-percent variable!" Li Xiao said playfully.
"Since it's a gamble, how can you be 100% sure. There is an eighty percent chance of winning, which is already a rare thing. ”
"Alright! You won the bet, and now I'm not going to throw you into the ocean. ”
"Thank you!" Li Yongfang's tense nerves relaxed suddenly.
At the moment when Li Yongfang relaxed, Li Xiao smashed his fist on Li Yongfang's nose with a "bang".
"I'm not going to throw you into the sea, but that doesn't stop me from beating you. In order to appease the people who were killed, and also for the old and young masters who were killed in Liaoyang. ”
Li Yongfang's nose was covered with blood, and the blood stained his clothes red.
As soon as the green bead was about to pounce, a fire gun was put on his head.
"Alright! I should be beaten, so many lives are on my body, I really should be beaten. But you don't want to think about it, I'm also a general in Daming. Why did you vote for Tartar? Could it be that it's just for the identity of a Baylor?
I shouldn't have cast tartars, but what can I do.
I think back then, I was also a man who fought with the Japanese in North Korea with the young marshal. Just because my family is poor, I don't have money to give gifts to the handsome. I should have been a general a long time ago, but after four years in North Korea, I am a thousand generals. In the end, the court rewarded some silver, and Lao Tzu got a guerrilla.
Those whose merits are not as good as mine are either generals or deputy commanders-in-chief. The scars on Lao Tzu's body, who the hell is this for? Li Yongfang stood up and pulled at the placket with both hands, revealing her scarred chest.
The scars were dense, all on the chest. There are knife wounds, and there are also stab wounds. It's a miracle that he didn't die from so many injuries. It seems that this was also a fierce man in North Korea back then.
"It seems that before you cast the Tartars, you were also promoted to general."
"General! Hehe! General, do you know how I came to be a general? This fucking general of mine was slept by his wife who accompanied Li Rubai to sleep. Li Yongfang's roar was like that of a wolf, and the roaring sound alarmed the roast chicken outside. The door was pulled open, and more than a dozen firearms at the door were aimed at Li Yongfang.
"Go down!" Li Xiao waved his hand, and the sliding door was pulled shut again.
Li Xiao, the corruption of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, knew that he didn't expect that the army would also rot into such a virtue. Li Chengliang's family has defended Liaodong for two generations, and it has long been a deep-rooted snake in Liaodong. Especially in the military, Li Chengliang has unparalleled prestige.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at his son Li Rubai, he actually became like this.
"Li Rubai is sorry for you, but the people are innocent."
"Huh! Are you willing to cast tartars when I want? Before the Battle of Fushun, I had sent a secret letter to Yang Hao, the governor of the capital. The Tartars are going to attack Fushun! But what did Yang Ho say? Dare to twist my Heavenly Tiger's beard.
Not only did he not send a single soldier to support Fushun, but instead sent someone to scold me in public. You know, at that time, Nurha's red wings were already in the wings. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not the opponents of the Eight Banners at all.
The defenders of Fushun had 3,000 people, but the Tartars had more than 40,000 people. The walls of Fushun are only two zhang high, and they have been in disrepair for many years, and they cannot resist the attacks of the Tartars. Fushun surrendered because a lot of people died, but if the Tartars conquered Fushun, according to their rules, they would slaughter Fushun.
Although I surrendered to the Tartars, I also saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Although their homes were robbed, they became slaves. But at the very least, I can keep them alive. If I don't cast the Tartars, Fushun City will become a dead city. 200,000 people, old and young, will become ghosts under the knife. ”
Li Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Li Yongfang. This thing seems to have a point, an ostracized officer. After being ridiculed by his superiors in public, he resolutely took refuge in the enemy. And also helped hundreds of thousands of innocent people to escape the fate of being killed. It sounds like this guy should be a good guy.
If the interpretation is more expressive, a glorious and tall image that endures humiliation will definitely shine through the ages.
"What do you mean by telling me this, to show your innocence, your last resort?"
"I just want to say that I, Li Yongfang, am also a well-known son of the Han family. I have also shed blood for Daming! I voted for Tartar because Daming made me see no hope. ”
"Then you're ...... now!"
"You Li Xiao have given me hope, and you have defeated the Tartars several times with your meager strength. Nurhachi sees you as a confidant, but he is helpless against you. Now even the most strategic, Babeile Huang Taiji, has been captured by you as a hostage. Now it is rumored in the Tartars that you are a white-fronted tiger born in Liaodong, specializing in eating Jurchens. They are afraid of you, and they are afraid of you from the bottom of their bones.
Liaodong has been in the hands of the Tartars all these years, and the people have lived a miserable life. I hope you can take our Han family to recapture Liaodong and drive the Tartars back to Changbai Mountain to fish and hunt. ”
"You want to take refuge in me?" This result made Li Xiao slightly surprised, in the best plan, he never thought that Li Yongfang would surrender himself.
"That's right, I want to take refuge in you and serve you as Lord. Drive the Tartars out of Liaodong. Restore my Han family Liaodong! Li Yongfang said, kneeling straight at Li Xiao's feet.
This is an unexpected gain, Li Yongfang is the intelligence head of Houjin. If he takes refuge in himself, it will be very beneficial for the upcoming big war. It's just that......! Li Xiao didn't know which one this thing was singing. If you play Infernal Affairs, Lao Tzu will lose a lot.
"I know that Toucheng needs to vote. The peace talks between the Tartars and you are actually perfunctory to you, and the contract signed with Daming is actually a piece of waste paper. In the first month of this year, they planned to attack Jinzhou. The reason why they haven't done it yet is because the red-haired person they invited has not arrived. Li Yongfang saw the hesitation on Li Xiao's face, and sold Nurhachi without the slightest hesitation.
"Red-haired man?" Li Xiao's eyes widened.
"Yes, it's the red-haired man. Those red-haired people came to Daming to sue you, but they were hooked up by the people who acted as good. Daishan's second son, Shuotuo, went to the capital in person to negotiate the conditions with the red-haired people. The red-haired people will not only sell Houjin firearms, but also send mercenaries to directly participate in the battle. Li Yongfang told the bottom of the deal between Daishan and the Dutch.
"Mom sells batches!" Li Xiao scolded viciously, it's really fucking imperialism that doesn't die in my heart.
Originally, I thought that the bastard had escaped to the island of Java. I didn't expect to dare to come to the capital to sue myself, not only that, but also hooked up with the Jurchen Tartars. I want to come to Jinzhou to give myself a knife!
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the artillery skills of the Dutch were much stronger than those of Da Ming. If you take a cannon and bombard Jinzhou City, you just need to smash the city wall. With the combat effectiveness of the Tartar soldiers, Jinzhou City will be held even for a day or two. The casualties will be absolutely enormous!
It is more likely that the city of Jinzhou was swept down by the Tartars, and the grain hoarded in it was either robbed or burned.
Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, He Kegang, and Wu Sangui, who didn't know the height of the sky, all had to fuck it out.
"When will the red-haired warship arrive in Liaodong?"
"I don't know about this, but it seems to say that the first month is definitely coming. But it's not clear where it is, it's all Dai Shan who is presiding over doing this. ”
"Dai Shan......!"
"When you go back, find out at once where Daishan wants to pick up the tartars ashore. As for your surrender, I will agree for the time being. But before the ugly words, I want to listen to your words and watch your deeds. Got it? ”
"No! The villain didn't intend for the adults to believe me like this, and Green Pearl stayed in the adult camp to be in charge of our communication. The villain will figure out as soon as possible where the red-haired man is ashore. ”
"Hmmm! Huzi sent it for me. Li Xiao nodded and asked Li Hu to send Li Yongfang out.
Luzhu knelt in the cabin and silently didn't say a word. Li Xiao's mind was thinking about things, and he was not interested in talking. The boat sailed back silently all the way, and it was already evening when it returned to Juehua Island.
Li Xiao thought about it all night, but he didn't come up with a reason. The most important thing is that he is not sure whether Li Yongfang is telling the truth. With a full of questions, Li Xiao took a boat to Shanhaiguan early the next morning.
Mao Wenlong, an old fox, can be regarded as a last-class good player in war. But when it comes to being sleek, he is really a first-class player who understands people's hearts. confronted those old officials in the court, and did not fall behind at all.
"I think Li Yongfang's surrender should be true, after a series of battles. Although the Tartars are not mortally wounded, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated by you. So that today a thousand will be knocked out, and tomorrow two thousand. Within two years, Eight Banners had to withdraw from Liaodong.
Li Yongfang is used to living a rich life, of course he doesn't want to follow the Tartar back to Changbai Mountain to eat and drink. So, now while the Tartars are not leaking out of defeat. I will be faithful to you!
A person like him has a heart full of life.
Also, he controls all the details of Houjin. The Later Jin's meticulous work was not only for the Ming Dynasty, but also for Mongolia, Nanyang, as well as the Wa Kingdom and Korea.
The king of Joseon is considered to be responsive to your request, and the Wa Kingdom has become your backyard. What you say, whether it is Tokugawa Ieyasu or Mori Terumoto, will follow. Not to mention Nanyang, Zheng Zhilong's eldest son is still studying in Phi Dao.
As for Mongolia, you also have a good friend, Geritu. I think Li Yongfang should have guessed your intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to ask for credit and want to surrender to you. ”
"You mean he's just coming out, what do we want to do?"
"Eighty percent, no...... Ten percent! I dare say, he must have just come out what you're going to do. Knowing that the main force of the Tartars was about to be destroyed, he recklessly took refuge in it. ”
