Ying Tiexiong's face suddenly became embarrassed, and then he glared fiercely at Zhang Kai next to him. Everyone could guess who said this.

Liu Yong stood up from his seat and said, "Please follow me to the cabin for a walk, and then I'll tell you what I want?"

This request confused Na Ying Tiexiong and Kai Zhang, but since they were on other people's boats and Pidao Island didn't care about them, they had no choice but to obey Liu Yong's words.

The cabin below the deck was filled with supplies, including food, cloth, and even ironware. All kinds of important civilian and military supplies were almost fully stocked on the ship.

After walking around like this, Ying Tiexiong and his open faces were already full of excitement. Liu Yong led them to the side of the ship again, pointed at the four ships around him and said, "Look at these ships.

At the waterline, these ships contain more supplies than this ship."

Although the facts were right in front of their eyes, Ying Tiexiong and Kai Zhang still lay on the side of the ship and tried to look around, trying to see clearly. When they stood up straight, Ying Tiexiong's face already had a mixture of enthusiasm and fear.

"I want to use these supplies to do business with you, let Mao Wenlong come and talk to me!" Liu Yong said calmly.

As soon as he said this, Ying Tiexiong immediately changed his expression and said coldly: "Commander Mao's safety is related to the overall situation of Liaodong. How could he be on this ship? What if you have any evil intentions?"

"You have no choice. How many people have starved to death in Pidao this winter? How many full meals can you have now? Do you have all the weapons? If I had evil intentions, the news from Jinzhou and Lushun would not have spread, nor would I

I tell you so clearly and directly that you can disembark now and go back to report. Only Mao Wenlong is allowed to take two escorts on a sampan. If I see a second ship entering the sea on this sea, we will leave immediately. If you don’t believe it,

You can try it!" Liu Yong said, raising his voice.

These words made Ying Tiexiong's face change, but he didn't dare to say anything. In the end, he just suppressed one sentence: "What are you doing here?"

"We come from Xuzhou and want to do business with you." Liu Yong replied with a smile.

Ying Tiexiong was a sensible person. After saying this, he didn't ask any more questions. He just got on the sampan again and went back. He originally wanted to follow him back, but was rejected by Ying Tiexiong. What he left behind was very simple: "

You have made great contributions to the Jinzhou incident this time. Since you have come up, there is no need to go down."

Compared with Ying Tiexiong, Zhang Kai was obviously more reckless and forthright. Ying Tiexiong got on the sampan, Zhang Kai clasped his fists and begged: "Mr. Liu, whether it's Pidao or Lushun, there is a food shortage everywhere."

Iron, everything is in short supply. Those businessmen from Shandong and North Korea only focus on the ginseng and furs in our hands. The prices are kept low. We people in Pi Island are dying to get these things. We have to dig deep into the mountains and old forests, and we have to

Be on guard against the Tatars, but the hard-earned mountain goods cannot be exchanged for a few full meals. Mr. Liu, your family has a great business, help us Pidao, and help the people of the Ming Dynasty here."

After hearing "ginseng and fur", Yu Dajiang's eyes lit up, and Li Yuliang was also calculating the price of "ginseng" and "fur" in Guan. Taking supplements and medicine was already a habit in the homes of wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone

Ginseng was particularly valued, but after the Liaodong War, the source of ginseng was cut off and the price suddenly began to skyrocket.

It’s not that there is no supply of goods now. There is one in Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong. It is said that ginseng from outside the customs can be obtained on the grasslands in Shanxi. This is also one. Some of them come directly from Liaoxi. No matter which source,

There are some things that are unclear, but they are inseparable from the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Liu Yong remained calm about such hugely profitable goods. Li Yuliang, who was standing beside him, became more and more admired. Zhao Jin and many people in Zhao Ziying were not much older than him, but this kind of self-cultivation in the city was.

Even my parents can't catch up.

"Ginseng and fur cannot be eaten as food." Liu Yong only said this.

The waiting at this time is the most nerve-wracking. Every sailor on the five ships of the fleet is on standby. As long as there is any movement on the island, the sails will be set off immediately. Even the people Liu Yong brought are swords.

Unsheath and prepare for battle.

But this time we didn’t wait too long. We could see a large group of people walking out of the camp on the shore of Pi Island. Many of them were carrying sampans. This made everyone on the fleet tense up, but only three people got on.

The others were holding the sampan and standing on the shore waiting for orders. Everyone watched the three-person sampan rowing towards the ship.

After arriving, he climbed up to the deck along the rope ladder lowered along the side of the ship. The first person who came up was a guard. After he climbed over the side of the ship, he did not go in, but stood there and pulled out the knife. This man seemed to have a good hand.

, with many scars on his exposed face and hands, it was obvious that he had gone through many battles, but he did explain his caution: "Don't get me wrong, but Marshal Mao's safety is important."

The second person to board the boat was Ying Tiexiong. He stood side by side with the previous person, forming a narrow human wall. If he wanted to attack Mao Wenlong, the two of them would stand in front.

"If something goes wrong here, there will be boats coming from the shore immediately. Although these boats are big boats, there is no wind at the moment. You may not be able to outrun our rowing boats!" Ying Tiexiong threatened first, and when he saw Liu

The guards around Yong had already retreated far away, and then they turned back to say hello.

Mao Wenlong's skills are not bad, and the support from his subordinates is just for show. He also wears a sword and pierces armor. If he really wants to take action, Mao Wenlong will not be weak.

Mao Wenlong is tall and thin, but the flesh on his face is a little loose. He looks like this even after losing weight from his rich body. He has a cloth tied on his head, and the exposed sideburns are already gray. He looks very haggard and tired.

Li Yuliang has been staring at Mao Wenlong. Linqing Prefecture is a canal hub and is well-informed about all kinds of information. Mao Wenlong, who supports Liaodong on this isolated island, has long heard about it. When he saw the real person, he was naturally attracted to his attention.

Liu Yong, on the other hand, glanced at Zhang Kai first, and after seeing the change in Zhang Kai's expression, he stepped forward and clasped his fists in greeting, and said, "I have met Mr. Mao."

Mao Wenlong boarded the boat with curiosity and expectation. He also saw at a glance Liu Yong who was guarded by the crowd in the center. His first reaction was why this man is so young. However, he did not lose his courtesy. He cupped his fists and returned the salute and said, "I have met Mr. Liu."

Liu Yong is a Bai Ding without any rank, and Mao Wenlong is already a general. If he were in Daming Pass without the support of Zhao Ziying's background, Liu Yong would kowtow when he saw such a person, and according to common sense

Presumably, one would usually not be able to see him in person, but at this time, Mao Wenlong was able to meet him on an equal footing.

This kind of demeanor can be said to be informal, or it can be said that Mao Wenlong is in a difficult situation at this time, and he must firmly grasp Liu Yong's possible help.

"Brother Yong, could this Mao Wenlong be fake?" Li Yuliang realized something and whispered in Liu?'s ear.

Liu Yong grinned and said: "We were once prosperous, but now we are in dire straits. There are not many people like this."

In Xuzhou, Pizhou and Shandong, Zhao Ziying changed the fate of many people, and how many once-famous gentry and powerful men were in embarrassment under Zhao Ziying's rule. Liu Yong has seen many such people and expressions, Liaodong Military Town

It’s not that there were no rich and powerful people who died in the war, but too few. Most of the people ran away to the pass. The only one who could stay in the so-called "Dongjiang Town" to fight against the Jurchens was Mao Wenlong. The largest general he sheltered was...

Most of Mr. Qian comes from a lower class background.

Moreover, Liu Yong saw the change in Zhang Kai's expression. If it was a fake, he wouldn't have such sincere excitement and admiration.

Although the atmosphere between the two parties had eased, Mao Wenlong never left the side of the ship. His two guards also stayed on both sides, their hands pressed on the hilt of the knife.

"I heard from Tiexiong that your ships are loaded with food, cloth and other urgently needed materials for Pi Island. Your office sent Zhang Kai back to report for help. You also donated so many materials for the great cause. I will fight for Liaodong against the Jin Dynasty.

"Sir, I would like to thank Mr. Liu for the Ming Dynasty." Mao Wenlong said sincerely and bowed solemnly as a courtesy.

Li Yuliang over there was stunned, thinking how could it be a donation, but Mao Wenlong, as the general of the army, gave such a solemn salute. During the past few days of the voyage, he listened to Na Zhangkai and the guides talk about the suffering of the Liao people.

Telling how Mao Wenlong fled to Pi Island with the remaining troops and horses, how he launched a difficult counterattack, how he fought to the death with the Tartars, and how difficult Pi Island was. Thinking of this, Li Yuliang suddenly felt that if five ships of supplies could be sent

It would also be a good idea to give them all to Pi Dao.

On the one hand, it is the great cause of resisting the Jin Dynasty. On the other hand, Zhao Ziying will rely a lot on Mao Wenlong for various arrangements in Liaodong in the future. It is also appropriate to send these five ships of supplies as a meeting gift. Moreover, Li Yuliang has another consideration.

, on such a formal occasion, if the other party expresses his position like this, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he refuses.

"Who said it was a donation? Did Mr. Mao misunderstand something? I am here to do business." Liu Yong replied with a smile, without any embarrassment on his face.

Mao Wenlong was stunned, then said with a smile: "I have misunderstood. Our Pi Island is short of supplies. Only ginseng, furs and mountain products can be sold at high prices. Merchants from Shandong and even Jiangnan are coming to buy. I wonder what Mr. Liu wants?

"

Li Yuliang sighed inwardly and decided not to speculate or judge secretly. It would not be too late to analyze it after the two sides finished talking.

"There are many merchants from Shandong and Jiangnan. Governor Denglai will also provide military supplies to Dongjiang Town. However, including the government and merchants, who can provide a steady stream of supplies to Master Mao? There will be no drift on the road.

Who can provide Master Mao with a large number of sophisticated weapons instead of the junk in the warehouse? Only I can." Liu Yong said loudly.

Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong's expression did not change, but the other three people from Pidao Liaodong had a look of resentment on their faces. Shandong has continued to supply the remnants of the Liaodong army, but the deductions are outrageous.
