More than a dozen long and short fire cannons were aimed at the man immediately.

The man raised his hands high 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 brave does this guy have to go to Li Xiao's ship to negotiate with Li Xiao?

"Haha! Mr. Li, you are safe!" Li Yongfang smiled and cupped his fists at Li Xiao. Li Hu held a pure steel shield in his hand and stood in front of Li Xiao. Everyone was as if they were facing a formidable enemy. As long as Li Yongfang's hands made any movement.

, will definitely be sieved.

"I didn't expect Mr. Li, who travels across Liaodong, to be so timid. People say you are an eye-catching white-fronted tiger who specializes in eating Jurchens."

Li Xiao stretched out his hand to pull Li Hu away, staring at Li Yongfang without blinking.

"Where do you get the confidence? Are you afraid that I will throw you into the sea?" The sea is rough now. Although the sea is not frozen, the water temperature is definitely not something that people can bear. If you fall into the water, even if it is water-resistant,

If not, you'll freeze to death.

"Haha! We are talking here, it seems a little cold." Li Yongfang looked at Li Xiao's ship indifferently. A ship with a thousand materials is considered a big ship in Houjin. But in Li Xiao's place, it can only be regarded as a very big ship.

An ordinary boat.

Li Xiao also felt that it was not cost-effective to talk to this guy on the deck. It was too damn cold!

It was warm and fuzzy inside the cabin, and there was an iron stove in the middle of the cabin. A copper kettle sat on it, and the water boiled and steam came out. Luzhu picked up the copper kettle and glared at Li Hu: "You are so merciless, go and get it.

tea!"

"You...!" Mr. Hu was about to retaliate when he suddenly glanced at Li Xiao and then obediently went to get some tea.

After scalding the teapot with boiling water, Luzhu brewed a pot of tea and placed it on the table.

"Haha! I heard that Mr. Li's tea is good, I want to try it today." Li Yongfang poured herself a cup of tea.

"When friends come, you only have tea; when enemies come, you only have shotguns." Li Xiao was very wary of Li Yongfang.

Maybe it was because the room was hot, or maybe he was afraid that Li Xiao would misunderstand. Li Yongfang took off his mink cloak, revealing a black warrior uniform underneath.

"You can only tell if you are a friend or an enemy after having to talk about it. I don't have a piece of iron on my body today, and I don't even have a handcuff for eating. How about it, are you sincere enough?" Li Yongfang handed the cloak to Lv Zhugua.

Get up and sit back opposite Li Xiao again.

"It doesn't mean you are sincere if you don't bring weapons. Tell me, what are you doing? Don't write 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 his purpose, he would really be betrayed.

Li Yongfang threw it into the sea.

"You follow Luzhu here to prove that the negotiation was successful. I actually have reservations about what I gave Luzhu. The conditions I asked for from the Great Khan are 600,000 taels of silver and a population of 200,000." Li Yongfang spoke.

At that time, he looked straight at Li Xiao, paying attention to every reaction on Li Xiao's face.

"Congratulations, your subordinates have saved you a lot of people and a lot of money." Li Xiao glanced at Luzhu angrily.

"I know that Luzhu has always been very capable. But what I want to say now is...! I am willing to give you all the population and money promised by the Great Khan."

"Is this why you dare to come to my ship?"

"Yes! I am now worth fifty thousand lives, and I still have one 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. In fact, I am betting, but I am 80% sure that I can win the bet."

Li Yongfang looked at Li Xiao with a smile. Since he didn't take action now, he probably wouldn't do it in a while.

"Then there are still 20% variables!" Li Xiao said playfully.

"Since it's a bet, there's no way to be 100% sure. Having an 80% chance of winning is already a rare thing."

"Okay! You won the bet, now I won't throw you into the sea."

"Thank you!" Li Yongfang's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

Just when Li Yongfang relaxed, Li Xiao punched Li Yongfang on the nose with a lightning-like "bang".

"Although I won't throw you into the sea, it doesn't stop me from beating you. For the sake of the people who were killed, and for the young and old men who were killed in Liaoyang."

There was a large amount of blood flowing from Li Yongfang's nose, and the blood dyed the skirt of his clothes red.

Just as Lu Zhu was about to pounce, a fire blunderbuss was thrust into his head.

"Okay! I should be beaten. With so many lives on my body, I really deserve to be beaten. But don't think about it, I was also a general in the Ming Dynasty. Why did I vote for the Tatars? Is it just for Baylor?

identity?

I shouldn't vote for the Tatars, but what can I do?

I think back then, I was also a man who followed the young marshal and fought against the Japanese pirates in North Korea. Because my family was poor, I had no money to give gifts to the marshal. I should have been a general for base work, but after four years in North Korea, I

He was a Qianzong. In the end, the imperial court rewarded me with some money, and I started a guerrilla operation.

Those whose merits are not as good as mine are either generals or deputy commanders. Who are these scars on my body for?" Li Yongfang stood up and pulled the hem of his clothes with both hands, revealing his chest covered with scars.

The scars were densely covered, all on the chest. There were knife wounds and stab wounds. It was a miracle that he survived so many injuries. It seemed that he was also a fierce man in North Korea back then.

"It seems that you were promoted to general before you surrendered to the Tatars."

"General! Haha! General, do you know how I came to be a general? My fucking general was born when my wife slept with Li Rubai." Li Yongfang's roar was like a wolf, roaring.

The roast chicken outside was alarmed. The door was opened with a whoosh, and more than a dozen firecrackers were pointed at Li Yongfang at the door.

"Get down!" Li Xiao waved his hand, and the door was closed again.

Li Xiao knew that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was corrupt, but he didn't expect that the army would also become so corrupt. Li Chengliang's family guarded Liaodong for two generations, and they were already deep-rooted local gangsters in Liaodong. Especially in the army, Li Chengliang had unparalleled prestige.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at his son Li Rubai's place, he would look like this...

"Li Rubai is sorry for you, but why should the people deserve it?"

"Haha! Do you think I am willing to surrender to the Tatars? Before the battle of Fushun, I once sent a secret message to the governor Yang Hao. The Tatars are going to attack Fushun! But what did Yang Hao say? How dare you, the barbarian of Caoer, twist the beard of the tiger in my kingdom.

Not only did they not send any soldiers to support Fushun, they instead sent people to scold me in public. You know, at that time Nurhachi had already grown up. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were no match for the Eight Banners soldiers.

There are three thousand defenders in Fushun, but there are more than 40,000 Tatars. The city wall of Fushun is only two feet high, and it has been in disrepair for many years and cannot prevent the Tatar attack. A lot of people died in Fushun's surrender, but if the Tatars

After conquering Fushun, according to their rules, they would massacre the city of Fushun.

Although I surrendered to the Tatars, I also saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Although their homes were robbed and they became slaves, at least I could keep them alive. If I did not surrender to the Tatars, Fushun

The city will become a dead city. Two hundred thousand people, old and young, will become ghosts under the sword."

Li Xiao didn't say anything and just looked at Li Yongfang. What he said seemed to make sense. A marginalized officer resolutely surrendered to the enemy after being ridiculed by his superiors in public. He also helped hundreds of thousands of innocent people escape.

He was destined to be killed. It sounds like this guy should be considered a good person.

If the performance is more realistic, a glorious and tall image that endures humiliation and bears the burden will definitely shine through the ages.

"What do you mean by telling me this, to show your innocence and 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 my blood for the Ming Dynasty! I voted for the Tatars because the Ming Dynasty left me with no hope."

"Then what are you doing now...!"

"You, Li Xiao, gave me hope. You defeated the Tatars several times with your meager military strength. Nurhachi regarded you as a close friend, but could do nothing about you. Now even the most strategic Babeile Huang Taiji has been captured by you.

Hostage. It is now spread among the Tatars that you are an eye-catching white-fronted tiger born in Liaodong who specializes in eating Jurchens. They are afraid of you, they are afraid of you from the bottom of their hearts.

Liaodong has been in the hands of the Tatars for many years, and the people have lived in misery. I hope you can lead our Han family to retake Liaodong and drive all the Tatars back to the Changbai Mountains to fish and hunt."

"You want to surrender to me?" This result surprised Li Xiao slightly. Under the best of plans, he never thought that Li Yongfang would surrender to him.

"That's right, I want to surrender to you and serve you as my master. Drive the Tatars out of Liaodong and restore my Han family, Liaodong!" Li Yongfang said, kneeling straight at Li Xiao's feet.

This is an unexpected gain. Li Yongfang is Houjin's intelligence chief. If he joins him, it will be very beneficial to the upcoming war. But...! Li Xiao doesn't know what kind of singing this guy is.

Once I play Infernal Affairs, I will suffer big losses.

"I know that surrender requires a certificate of surrender. The peace talks between the Tatars and you are actually perfunctory, and the contract signed with the Ming Dynasty is actually a piece of waste paper. In the first month of this year, they planned to attack Jinzhou. The reason why they have not taken action yet is because

The red-haired man they invited did not arrive." Li Yongfang saw the hesitation on Li Xiao's face and sold Nurhaci without any hesitation.

"Red-haired man?" Li Xiao's eyes widened.

"Yes, they are the red-haired people. Those red-haired people came to Ming Dynasty to complain about you, but they were hooked up by Daishan's people. Daishan's second son Shuotuo went to the capital in person to negotiate terms with the red-haired people. Hongmao

Not only will they sell firearms to Houjin, but they will also send mercenaries to directly participate in the war." Li Yongfang thoroughly explained the deal between Daishan and the Dutch.

"Mom is selling batches!" Li Xiao cursed fiercely. It's really imperialism that is damning to me.

I originally thought that that bastard Kui Yi had fled to the island of Java. Unexpectedly, he actually dared to come to the capital to sue himself. Not only that, he also hooked up with the Jurchen Tatars. He wanted to come to Jinzhou to give him a knife!

A cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The Dutch's artillery technology was much better than that of the Ming Dynasty. If they used a cannon to blast Jinzhou City, they would just break the city wall. With the fighting power of the Tatar soldiers, even Jinzhou City would be

If we defend for a day or two, the casualties will be absolutely huge!

It is more likely that Jinzhou City was invaded by the Tatars, and the food stored in it was either robbed or burned.

Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, He Kegang, and that Wu Sangui who doesn't know how high the sky is, all have to be fucked.

"When will the red-haired men's warships arrive in Liaodong?"

"I don't know about that. It seems that it will definitely arrive in the first month. But I don't know the details. Daishan is in charge of doing this."

"Daishan...!"

"You go back and immediately find out where Daishan wants to meet the Tatars ashore. As for your surrender, I agree to it for the time being. But the ugly words are ahead. For you, I want to listen to his words and watch his actions. Do you understand?

"

"No! I didn't intend for you to trust me like this. Luzhu stayed in the adult camp to take charge of our communication. I will find out as soon as possible where the red-haired man landed."
