Xu Shiyang and Li Feifeng were faintly confronting each other.

His words were so harsh.

But I have to say that it is the truth.

The Li family was desperate and took Xu Shiyang's way to join Wen Xianggong, but when the plan went smoothly, they turned to join Wen Xianggong's competitor.

From the perspective of this era, this is a traitor.

If the pro-war faction can really come to power, such two-five boys will be 100% killed by the pro-war faction court.

At that time, the best outcome for the Li family is to return to the sea and be their pirates.

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

But if he turned around and threw it back to the arms of the pro-war faction and transported the annual monies for the Tatars directly to Qi Province, Xu Shiyang could find a reason to defeat them as pro-war faction and attack them into the pro-war faction.

In this way, the Li family may be called a slave of the three surnames, but at least they can preserve the results of the recruitment.

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

"Don't make a mistake, Manager Li." Xu Shiyang replied: "I'm not discussing with you. This is not only the last chance for your Li family, but it's not enough to just do this."

"Given the swaying of your boss, I have reason to no longer trust any of his promises - my suggestion is to ask Brother Feihu to be the boss of the Li family and lead the future actions of the Li family."

"General Xu, your hands are stretched too long." Li Feifeng changed his image as a fisherman, narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a terrifying light: "Do you also care about the internal affairs of the Li family?"

"I respect me one foot, and I will give me one foot." Xu Shiyang said indifferently: "The same is true for someone to offend me one foot."

"This is my request. Whether the shopkeeper agrees or not, please ask the shopkeeper Li to bring my meaning back. You can discuss it again."

Li Feifeng stared at Xu Shiyang.

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

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

Xu Shiyang shouted at Li Feifeng's back:

"I will not allow you to transport wealth to Liaodong, my enemies in one boat!"

...

"Ganxiong, are you still here?"

When he walked out of the Xu family's villa in Rizhao, Li Feifeng said coldly to Gan Xiong:

"Go back with me!"

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

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

"Gan Xiong's life was given to him by the boss of the shopkeeper, and Gan Xiong would never betray the boss of the shopkeeper." Gan Xiong replied calmly: "Gan Xiong also hopes that the second shopkeeper will not do this."

"When Commander Xu arrived at Shuangyu, the Xu family had only half of Qingzhou, and he couldn't even afford to support himself. He recruited sponsors everywhere for support."

"In just one year, the Xu family has already owned most of Qi Province, with tens of thousands of troops, and defeated the Tatars' full-scale counterattack. Now they can at least break the ground and be crowned kings in Qi Province."

"Gan Xiong dares not say much about how to choose a shopkeeper, but please leave Gan Xiong behind, which can be regarded as leaving a front-line contact with the Xu family. When we meet in the future, the shopkeeper and Commander Xu still have room to talk."

Li Feifeng went up and down a lot of Gan Xiong several times.

After thinking for a moment, he put away his anger and murderous aura, and smiled like a peaceful fisherman and said, "You have learned a lot in Qisheng."

"If you don't learn new things, you won't have a tenable position in Qi Province." Gan Xiong lowered his head and replied: "They are developing too fast."

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

"Stay in Qisheng and see how the Xu family can develop to us."

...

Li Feifeng only stayed in Qi Province for a long time, and Xu Shiyang did not give the Li family any face, and both sides could almost be considered a formal rebellion.

In this case, the biggest problem for Qisheng is that shipping is almost cut off - no ship dares to travel to Qisheng under the threat of the Li family pirates.

But the pirates of the Li family dared not land. They knew very well that the combat effectiveness of the Qi Provincial Army on land was far beyond their ability to match.

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

Because time is tight, among the fleet led by Dengyingzhou, five medium-sized Fu Ships are equipped with new 8-jin cannons, and the other five are charged with 4-jin cannons.

In addition, ten small lucky ships and Guangzhou ships were specially selected to be incorporated into the fleet. These small boats of about 50 to 70 tons were equipped with two magic cannons. When encountering enemies, they could use these small cannons and fire to suppress the enemy.

Twenty specialized warships all supplemented a large number of army personnel, who conducted naval combat training near Dengzhou to adapt to artillery firing and naval combat capabilities on unstable maritime platforms.

On September 9, 14th year of Jianxing.

Xu Shiyang received the information sent by Li Feihu, and the third batch of annual coins sent by Li Feilong to Liaodong had already set off.

Previously, Li Feilong had already shipped two batches of annual monies to the Liaodong Tartars. 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 threat to the annual monies fleet.

But the Tartars, who had suffered heavy losses in the war before, couldn't wait. They kept urging the Qin Gong to send the remaining annual tribute quickly. For this reason, they even planned to send an army of about a thousand people to transport them from the Li family to Jiangnan to help the Qin Association stabilize the court.

This is certainly impossible to achieve.

First of all, Emperor Jianxing himself did not dare to place even any Tartar-based troops by his side.

Secondly, even if the Qin Huizhi's staunch peace faction "or surrender faction" understands that any Jurchen army now appears in Jiangnan, it may cause greater chaos. This will inevitably violate his stable court situation and will not give the pro-war faction Wen Xianggong the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, which will also further affect the collection of annual monies.

In order to appease the Jurchens, the Queen Qin had to urge Li Feilong to complete the transportation task of the year-old coins as soon as possible. Therefore, the number of this batch of annual coins exceeded the previous two times, with about 30,000 pieces of silver and silk each, and rewarding the army with 100,000 guan.

In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, Li Feibao, who firmly defected to the Qin Gong, personally led 100 ships of all sizes and large to transport annual monies to set off.

He knew that Qi Province had more than 50 sea ships of all sizes, so Li Feibao was confident that the number advantage of two to one should be without any problems.

As a support for the fleet, Li Feilong and Li Feifeng went out in person to watch Li Feihu and Li Feihuang one-on-one and monitor them to prevent these two big pirate leaders from cooperating with Xu Shiyang to pose a threat to the annual monies.

However, what they did not expect was that Xu Shiyang did not intend to rely on Li Feihu's power.

He believed that his fleet was capable of dealing with Li Feibao. After all, the Qi Provincial fleet had a comprehensive firepower advantage.
