"Who?" Gao Jie couldn't help but ask. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wang Xi said solemnly: "Li Yongfang!"

Luo Sigong said: "Why do you suspect that it is him?"

Wang Xi said solemnly: "I have been lurking in Liaoyang for nearly half a year, and I have basically a clear understanding of the generals of the Jin State. This Li Yongfang was originally stationed in Shenyang, but he was suddenly secretly transferred to Liaoyang recently, and according to the time when the Jinyi Guard's strongholds were destroyed one after another, it just coincided!"

Luo Sigong said: "In this way, I'm afraid it's really what this person did!"

Gao Jie was very unfamiliar when he heard this name, so he set his eyes on Luo Sigong, only to see that the master seemed to be a little distracted, his face was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Gao Jie couldn't help it, pushed Luo Sigong and asked, "Uncle Shi, tell me who this person is!"

Luo Sigong came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Who doesn't know this person among the Chinese military officials of the Ming Dynasty, he has long been notorious!" Then, he simply told Gao Jie about Li Yongfang's situation.

Li Yongfang was a native of Tieling, Liaodong (now Tieling, Liaoning), and was originally a guerrilla of thousands of households in Fushun in the Ming Dynasty. In the forty-first year of Wanli (1613), Nurhachi conquered the Ula tribe, and the Ula tribe Belebu Zhantai fled to Yeh. Nurhachi again conquered Yehe, and Yehebu asked the Ming Dynasty for help. The Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to warn Nurhachi that he was not allowed to invade Yeh. Nurhachi sent a letter to the Ming Dynasty, saying that Yehe had betrayed the alliance and repented of his marriage, hid Buzhantai, and that he had no choice but to use troops, and personally went to Fushun Qianhu. Li Yongfang went out to welcome Sanli and introduced Nurhachi into the teaching field, and Nurhachi handed over the reply letter to Li Yongfang and led the army back. Since then, the two have often crossed paths.

In the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618), Nurhachi invaded the Ming Dynasty, besieged Fushun, and sent a letter to Li Yongfang: "The Ming Dynasty sent troops to help Ye He, and I led the army to attack, you are just a guerrilla, can you defeat me? You are very intelligent, understand current affairs, our country is in need of talents, how can I not reuse talents like you? If you want to fight, our army does not know you." If you surrender, I will keep the people of the city at peace. Don't think I'm scaring you, if I can't even defeat a single city of yours, what kind of troops will I send out? "

After Li Yongfang read the letter, while boarding the south gate to ask for surrender, he still ordered his soldiers to prepare defensive equipment. The Houjin army attacked the city with a cloud ladder, and soon ascended the city and killed the Fushun garrison king's seal. Li Yongfang then went out of the city and surrendered, and prostrated on the ground to meet Nurhachi. Nurhachi replied on his horse, and ordered his men not to kill the people of the city. The next day, Nurhachi destroyed the city of Fushun, organized the people in the city into thousands of households, moved to Hetuala, and set up large and small officials according to the official system of the Ming Dynasty. Li Yongfang was appointed lieutenant general of the third rank and married the daughter of Bel Abatai. Fushun was the first border city of the Ming Dynasty under Nurhachi, and Li Yongfang was the first border general of the Ming Dynasty to surrender.

After that, Li Yongfang repeatedly followed Nurhachi to conquer Ming, captured Qinghe, Tieling, Liaoyang, and Shenyang, and was awarded the third-class general military officer for merit, and refused the surrender of Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. In order to reward Li Yongfang, Nurhachi gave him the privilege of "avoiding death three times".

After hearing this, Gao Jie sighed: "It turns out that this Li Yongfang is really a big celebrity! But why are you sure that the matter of Jinyiwei's Liaoyang stronghold has something to do with him?"

Luo Sigong looked at Wang Xi and said, "Wang Xi, I'm afraid that you have already found out the details of this Li Yongfang, so you will think of him!"

Wang Xi nodded and smiled: "That's right, this Li Yongfang is too famous, I found out his bottom very early!"

Luo Sigong said to Gao Jie at this time: "Everyone in the world only knows that this person is the chief soldier of my Ming Yuan Fushun Thousand Households, but I don't know that he has an important identity before, that is, he was one of my most powerful subordinates!"

Gao Jie exclaimed, "You mean that he is from Jinyiwei?"

Luo Sigong nodded and said: "That's right, he was recommended by my predecessor, that is, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Shouyou, six years ago. He was originally a disciple of the famous cicada knife door in Liaodong, after leaving the school, he joined the army, a cicada wing knife made quite extraordinary, in the Jinyi Wei for nearly two years, I not only often instructed him in the knife technique, but also specially customized a thin embroidered spring knife for him, plus this Liu Yongfang comprehension, soon became a few masters in the Jinyi Guard. But two years ago, he suddenly proposed that his parents were old and wanted to return to his hometown to fulfill their filial piety, and wanted to be transferred to serve in the eastern Liaodong border army. To no avail, I had to find a way to transfer him to the guerrilla general of Fushun Qianhu, but I never expected that soon, he would become the first general of my Ming Dynasty to surrender to the Jurchens!"

Wang Xi continued: "That's right, after this person defected to the Jin Kingdom, he won the trust of the wild boar skin, not only became his grandson-in-law, but also was entrusted with important tasks, under the command of his father-in-law Mang Gurtai, and trained a special team!"

Gao Jie interjected: "Brother Wang Xi, I have heard you mention the wild boar skin many times, is it Nurhachi's nickname?"

Wang Xi said with a smile: "No, we Jurchens did not have their own written language before, so Mongolian and Chinese are the most popular and common in our clan, and Nurhachi means wild boar skin in Mongolian! However, since this wild boar skin ascended the throne of the Great Khan, he has been extremely taboo about this title, but his name cannot be changed, so he has to be told in the clan that Nurhachi means a person as brave as a wild boar. In the same way, the meaning of the names of his younger brothers, Shulhaqi and Yarhaqi, has also changed from tiger skin and leopard skin to a person as brave as a tiger and a person as brave as a leopard, respectively. However, those who have an enmity with him still secretly call him wild boar skin!"

Gao Jie suddenly realized, thinking of Nurhachi's generation of heroes, it would indeed be a little unhappy to be treated as a wild boar skin.

Luo Sigong then asked: "Wang Xi, you said that Li Yongfang trained a special team, tell me what it looks like?"

Wang Xi said: "This team is divided into two parts, one part controlled by Mang Gurtai, all of which are composed of the most powerful of the Jurchen soldiers, who are responsible for spying on the privacy and loyalty of important generals and officials of the Jin State, and conducting inspections and arrests, while the other part is led by Li Yongfang, all of whom are selected from the Ming army and the common people with martial arts, specializing in collecting military information, plotting against enemy generals, and arresting spies. This team is independent of the four banner troops of the Jin Kingdom, namely the red, white, blue and yellow flags, and is called the fifth flag team, which is directly under the orders of the wild boar skin, and has the same meaning as the Ming brocade clothes and guards led by Lord Luo. Moreover, the daily training and management of the Jurchen and Han parts of the Fifth Banner Team are actually basically handed over to Li Yongfang, so it can be said that the Fifth Flag Team was actually created by Li Yongfang!"

Gao Jie was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he didn't expect Nurhachi to follow the example of Daming, and also set up a "Jinyi Guard" in Dajin Country, and the name of the "Fifth Banner Team" sounded quite extraordinary.

Luo Sigong said angrily: "Such a major secret, none of the hundreds of Jinyi Guard's secret agents stationed in Liaodong by my Jinyi Guard have noticed the slightest clue, I really don't know what they are doing?!"

Wang Xi smiled and comforted: "Lord Luo is angry, in fact, it's no wonder that those Jinyi Wei outreach agents, the identities they use to infiltrate are generally ordinary people and merchants with extremely low status, so it is naturally difficult to access the secrets of the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom. All of this was overheard by accident when he sneaked into Tokyo City next time and met with Mang Gurtai and Li Yongfang in the wild boar skin, and this fifth flag team is the most secret team of the wild boar skin. ”

Luo Sigong sighed: "I didn't expect that this Li Yongfang not only became the first shameful general of my Ming Dynasty, but also relied on the ability to be trained in Jinyi Guard for nearly two years, and trained such a terrible special team and secret weapon for the Jin State, no wonder Shenyang, Liaoyang, including the Battle of Guangning, there are all signs of Jin State spies sabotaging or plotting against our generals in the city, it turns out that all this is done by Li Yongfang!"

Indeed, from the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618) when Nurhachi raised troops to attack Ming to the battle of Quang Ninh, every war has the shadow of the "fifth column". From Fushun to Qinghe, from Salhu to Kaiyuan and Tieling, from Liao, Shen to Guangning, along the way, every recorded war has the cooperation of internal traitors, without exception. These spies either opened the gates, defected, and leaked secrets. It can be said that behind every success of Nurhachi, there is a spy standing. That is to say, before each war, Nurhachi had already planted spies, and through intelligence work, he knew the situation of the Ming army well, so he made targeted arrangements in terms of the timing and strategy and tactics of using troops.

And the "Fifth Banner Team" is the real executor hidden in the shadows.

Gao Jie admired the wisdom of the Chinese people in China, and thought about how the CIA, the KGB, and the Mossad were boasted about in later generations, but in fact their ancestors and founders were from China.

Luo Sigong figured all this out, and after sighing for a while, he said categorically: "This Fifth Banner Team will become the key target of my Ming Jinyi Guard's Jinguo branch in charge in the future! According to the report of the spies I planted in Liaoyang, just two days ago, my Jinyi Guard's stronghold in the Longxing Restaurant in the west of the city had just been destroyed and sealed, and it stands to reason that there should still be some valuable traces and information left in it. We're leaving Liaoyang tomorrow, and I have to go tonight to find out the truth and get back the hidden information!"

Wang Xi hurriedly said: "Since that stronghold has just been seized, it is very likely that someone will squat and ambush and lure you into the urn, Lord Luo's move must not be!"

Luo Sigong's eyes were calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, what am I afraid of, if Li Yongfang can be in person, it will be even better!"

Gao Jie understood that Uncle Shi was a very temperamental old man, and this time he was probably angry with Li Yongfang, and wanted to stop him, but he was afraid that it would be difficult, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Shi has made up his mind, Xiao Jie will accompany you on a journey." Thinking about it, even if the Fifth Banner Team set up an ambush and waited for the rabbit, they never imagined that the great god Shibo would come in person, and we should be able to deal with it!"

Venerable Zong Qing had been listening, without saying a word, and suddenly smiled at this moment: "Xiao Jie's analysis is quite reasonable, but as the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, Lin Da has nothing to do, so he simply accompanied the shopkeeper and Mr. Ledger to collect an account!"

Venerable Zongqing's words immediately dissolved the originally somewhat dignified atmosphere, Luo Sigong also showed a smile, and saluted Venerable Zongqing: "With Lin Da going with him, even though Jin Guo has thousands of troops and horses stationed in Longxing Restaurant, we can come and go freely!"

Venerable Zongqing hurriedly returned the salute and praised it.

Wang Xi saw that no one thought of him, so he hurriedly grabbed Gao Jie and said: "Everyone, I have made a great contribution this time, you can't unload the mill and kill the donkey, you must count me in tonight's action!"

Gao Jie said worriedly: "Third brother, your leg is still injured and you are unable to move, forget it this time, I will not leave you next time!"

Wang Xi shook his head and said: "My left leg was injured by the Elder Master of the Baishan Sect half a month ago, if it weren't for the lack of medical treatment, it would have been neat and tidy! The hidden stabbing technique passed down by the family master is not a fist embroidered leg, even if my legs are crippled, with just two hands, the third brother will definitely not be half a step slower than you!"

Luo Sigong and Venerable Zongqing knew Gao Jie's details, and when they saw that Wang Xi dared to compete with Gao Jie, they didn't say anything, but they were secretly happy in their hearts.

Gao Jie smiled bitterly, knowing that this was another bull, so he didn't say anything, reached out and took out two small porcelain bottles from his arms, pulled out the stopper, poured out two small pills, one black and one red, and handed them to Wang Xi: "There were a lot of things before, I forgot the third brother's leg injury, there are two pills here, the red one is taken internally, and the black one is applied externally, you can use it quickly!"

Wang Xi took the pill in disbelief and said, "What kind of medicine is this, is it effective?"

Gao Jie was dissatisfied: "What I gave you, could it be poison? If you use it well, if you want it in the future, you must buy it with silver, and the small shop boy is not bullied, and the implementation of three packs, and the return customers can also be free shipping!"
