Chapter 239: Traitor

Ying Yi is ready and about to break camp.

Then a personal guard came to report: "There is someone from Kaifeng, in the name of Lord Sun Wen, bringing people to see the lord!"

Ying Yi was startled and thought: "Bring him in."

He had two troops here, working hard, covering two thousand miles in half a month. Sun Xiucai sent people from Kaifeng to catch up here, which was obviously urgent.

After a while, several capable men were brought in. When they saw Ying Yi, they all beat their chests and nodded: "Greetings, my lord!"

Ying Yi waved his hand and took a closer look: "They are the soldiers who stayed in Kaifeng."

The four of them looked happy: "Back to my lord, yes."

Ying Yi nodded: "Sun Xiucai taught you to come here urgently, but what's the important matter?"

The leader took out a letter from his arms, bowed and handed it over, saying: "Master Sun sent the villain to bring someone and a letter for your lord to check."

Ying Yi took the letter, opened it, and finally laughed coldly. He put down the letter and said, "Bring the person in."

After a while, the person wearing the scarf was pushed and brought to Ying Yi.

When the man saw Ying Yi, he didn't bow to him. Instead, he pulled off his turban, revealing his bare green forehead, except for a disgusting pigtail that looked like a rat's tail on the back of his head.

"You are Ying Yi?"

When the man saw Ying Yi, he became arrogant and said, "I am Bao Jing, the third-class viscount conferred by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I am here to see you on the order of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

Ying Yi smiled and said to Wang Yisheng beside him: "This is a traitor, have you seen it?"

Bao Jing was startled, traitor? Suddenly, he felt humiliated and shouted: "An dares to insult me, he clearly doesn't take the Qing Dynasty seriously, Ying Yi, you..."

"This is the first time I have seen a traitor with my own eyes." Ying Yi waved his hand and ignored him, and said to Wang Yisheng: "Just one look is enough, pull him out, chop him into pieces, chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs."

Bao Jing stopped abruptly, and his face turned pale for a moment, but there were soldiers like wolves and tigers, dragging him out.

"Spare your life! Spare your life!"

Only then did he think of asking for mercy, but how could Ying Yi care about such a picky guy?

In Sun Xiucai's letters, Ying Yi already knew the whole story.

This Bao Jing is the liaison person sent by the Manchus. This person is not unknown. His father, Bao Chengxian, is an old traitor, almost as famous as Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo.

It is needless to say how detestable it is for the dignified Yanhuang Miao descendants to work as slaves for the Tatars, but these dog slaves are actually not having an easy time.

For example, Bao Chengxian seemed to have such a high status earlier and could speak well in front of Huang Taiji, but because of some trivial matters, he said that during the war with the Ming army, the Ming army harmed the Tatar people and he did not send troops to save it, so He was beaten to the end and put in jail.

When was that? It's the time of the Battle of Songjin. As for the Battle of Songjin, the eastern part of Liaoning actually belonged to the Ming court. Even if the Ming army caused harm, it was also the people of the Ming court who were harmed.

Therefore, the reason why a bitch is a bitch is that even being a dog is not fun.

After Bao Chengxian was imprisoned, Huang Taiji gave Bao Chengxian's son Bao Jing a little sweetener, the so-called third-class viscount, in order to avoid taking down Bao Chengxian and arousing the opinions of other traitors.

The story of Ying Yi's destruction of the intruders had been spread back to Liaodong by the Tatars. Based on the idea that enemies of enemies might become friends, Huang Taiji planned to send someone to contact Ying Yi and agree to jointly destroy the Ming Dynasty and divide the country.

Bao Jing was a die-hard traitor. He wanted to win Huang Taiji's favor and regain the status he had before the old traitor was imprisoned, so he invited himself to go south.

By the way, there are some tricks here. It seems that Manta has long been connected with the bandits.

However, the intruders were eliminated and Ying Yi occupied Henan. In the eyes of Huang Taiji, an old slave chief, he was almost the same as Li Chuang, so Bao Jing and his party came into being.

This information was gleaned from Sun Xiucai's insinuations when entertaining Bao Jing and from other people who arrived in Kaifeng with Bao Jing.

Bao Jing concluded from Sun Xiucai's attitude that Ying Yi's forces were willing to form an alliance with Manta, but how did he know Ying Yi's attitude towards Manta?

Everything is Sun Xiucai's routine.

Bao Jing lived a happy life in Kaifeng, but he had no idea how Fan Ji'an, who came with him, was tortured.

Fan Ji'an can be regarded as Bao Jing's deputy, but Fan Ji'an is not from Liaodong, but from Shanxi. Bao Jing detoured from Liaodong through the grassland, entered Shanxi, and joined Fan Ji'an before heading south.

And Fan Ji'an is from the Fan family of Shanxi merchants.

They are members of the old traitor Fan Yongdou.

Fan Ji'an was tortured and quickly instigated a rebellion, which is why Bao Jing was kept in the dark. A large part of this information was learned from Fan Jian's mouth.

"Look."

Ying Yi handed the letter to Wang Yisheng and said: "No wonder every time the bandits are weak and about to be wiped out, the Tatars will send troops to knock on the pass to distract the Ming court and give the bandits a chance to breathe."

From this letter, Ying Yi thought of a lot.

The Tatars repeatedly knocked on the gate, mostly when the Ming court was planning to annihilate the bandits in one go. At this time, the Tatar army came, and the Ming court had no choice but to let the bandits go first and deploy troops to resist the Tatars. When the Tatars retreated, the bandits rose up again.

Such cuts were made one after another, which made Ming Ting extremely painful, and there was no chance to catch his breath.

The intermediary contacts were some traitorous businessmen headed by Fan Yongdou.

Although there was no anger on Ying Yi's face, and although he had already decided to destroy the Ming Dynasty, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he saw this letter.

After Wang Yisheng read it, he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, if you go north this time, you will wipe out the Tatars, right? Kill the nine tribes, not even a hair will be spared!"

When Ying Yi heard this, his anger subsided and he smiled and said: "No rush, no rush. If you want to destroy the Tatars, there are plenty of opportunities. Let's take care of Hebei first."

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside. The Tatars are right there and can be destroyed whenever they want. Ying Yi has this confidence. It is more important to appease the people and develop people's livelihood than to rush to destroy the Tatars.

"The top priority is to capture Shanhaiguan first and block the enemy from outside." Ying Yi said: "Let's go and break camp."

...

The night was deserted, and there was a constant sound of waves outside Dongliang Haikou.

This is a very deep bay. Although it is not big, the water is very deep and is very suitable for warships to berth. Under the moonlight at night, there were about a hundred warships of various sizes docked outside the dock.

On the pier, there are a row of barracks and water villages along the mountain, with a lot of bustling people and a few lights.

This is where the so-called Denglai Navy is stationed.

When the Denglai Navy was at its peak, the entire northern coastal waters were its playground. But now, there are only a hundred ships, large and small, and a defeated army with less than 3,000 troops left.

Moreover, many of the naval forces are old and weak, and their combat effectiveness is almost non-existent.

Suddenly, shouts of killing broke out, immediately breaking the silent night.

In the water village barracks, when thousands of old and weak people rushed out tremblingly, they only saw the endless torches and the golden armor under the torches.

"Surrender!" There was a loud shout, and the clanging armors collided, revealing a half-moon-shaped artillery array. The barrels were pointed at the water village barracks, so cold.
