Chapter Twenty

During the late Ming Dynasty, Ying Yi remembered not many people and things. As for people, there were only a few positive people. For example, the female general Qin Liangyu, Ying Yi respected him extremely. For example, Lu Xiangsheng, he was also a very good person. For example, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting, he only knew about it.

However, people with itchy scalp and too cold water, Ying Yi's memory was even deeper after ten days of Yangzhou and three massacres in Jiading. As for Yuan Chonghuan, he naturally knew it.

People say that Yuan Chonghuan is a famous general, but Ying Yi doesn't think so.

Yuan Chonghuan died of being cut into pieces and his family was exiled for three thousand miles, which was his own place. According to Ying Yi, the posthumous title of loyalty and righteousness of the Qing Dynasty was a gloating, and probably because he was grateful. If there were no such person, the Qing Dynasty would really open up the situation in Liaodong and open up the road to the capital, which would not be so smooth.

Sun Chengzong, who was in charge of Liaodong before Yuan Chonghuan, advocated steady progress, building cities and promoting them, and gradually restricting the survival space of the Tartars. Although there seemed to be no name for this elder in the victory, the warriors had no great achievements, and Sun Chengzong was a mature and steadfast person.

Yuan Chonghuan was also promoted by Sun Chengzong, but he had a quarrel with Sun Chengzong. When Sun Chengzong was in charge of Liaodong, the Tatars could not advance at all. After Yuan Chonghuan was in charge of Liaodong, he allowed the Tatar army to cross the Ningjin defense line and reach the capital.

Sun Chengzong was steady and was considered to be extremely expensive. However, after Yuan Chonghuan was in charge of Liaodong, he consumed more military salaries. Except for a few irrelevant "great victories", there was no strategic point to be boasted about.

He made bold statements, saying that he had pacified Liao in the fifth year, which made Chongzhen stunned. He spent a lot of money, grain and materials, but allowed the Tatar army to attack the capital. He made peace with the Tatars several times, and it was no wonder that the ministers in the court believed that he let the Tatars army come in, and believed that he secretly colluded with the Tatars to support themselves.

No matter how much Chongzhen trusted him, he could imagine his fate when he reached such a situation.

Yuan Chonghuan can be a general, but not a general. Under Sun Chengzong, he can do a good job, but as the general who is in charge of the army, his strategic vision is too low. Because of his noble literati, Mao Wenlong was "disrespectful" to him and killed Mao Wenlong and ignored the overall situation.

How dare such a person be called a famous general?

He said he was content with his own position and was absolutely right. Since he was an official of the Ming Dynasty, he had a high position and had no achievements and had selfish intentions, which made the situation even worse. As for the enemy's attack at the heart of the capital, such a crime should be killed regardless of whether he colluded with the Tartars.

Ying Yi walked out with the woman in his arms and said to Xiucai and Erniu: "Go back."

After returning to his residence and locking up Yuan Chonghuan's descendants, Ying Yi said to Sun Xiucai: "I don't expect this woman to be a descendant of Yuan Chonghuan."

Sun Xiucai said: "I heard that Yuan Chonghuan has a daughter, maybe she is her. She was not exiled to San Qianli, why are she here?"

"Either they escaped or were rescued." Ying Yi sat down: "The possibility of being rescued is even greater. She knew the news about the military pay in western Ganxi, and this news was extremely secret. If someone hadn't told her deliberately, she would never have known it."

When Sun Xiucai heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath: "So, there must be someone behind her who has an unpredictable status?"

"Maybe it's still a middle-aged and high-ranking official in the court." Ying Yi nodded.

"Dog thief!"

Sun Xiucai was furious: "I'm stinging dogs, and I'm all the way to Yuan Chonghuan!"

Ying Yi shook his head: "This big ship in the Ming Dynasty is full of holes, and there are all kinds of ghosts and monsters, there is no need to be so angry."

Sun Xiucai calmed down and asked, "Who did Brother Ying ask?"

Ying Yi shook his head: "This woman is crazy and it is impossible to ask about this from her. The biggest use is to threaten her entourage. Let's do it for the time being."

Ever since Ying Yi saw the hatred that was blinding in her eyes, he knew that it was impossible to ask any information from her. Originally, Ying Yi planned to interrogate tonight and took out some useful information, but he gave up.

Then Ying Yi said: "The news of military pay is leaked, and Zheng County Zun will definitely react. He has two choices. First, he is to send someone from Ye County to welcome the escort. Second, he is to send someone to Huguang immediately and ask Zuo Liangyu's army to come quickly. I think he will do a two-pronged approach."

Speaking of this, Ying Yi paused and said, "If Zheng County Zun sent someone to escort it, it would be me. At most, it would be only one or two days. Once it was confirmed that it was me, I would send Erniu out of the city quietly."

He looked at Erniu: "Do you remember what I said to you?"

Erniu hurriedly said, "I remember, why don't I remember. I know where Liujiazhuang, ten miles north of the city."

Ying Yi nodded: "When I send you out, you go to Liujiazhuang. Tell Yuan Chonghuan's daughter's entourage and ask him to go to Yuzhou to meet Hao Yaoqi, and say that things have changed. Hao Yaoqi's plan was discovered by Zheng County Zun of Ye County and had sent someone to ask Zuo Liangyu to send troops as soon as possible. Then you find a place to hide it first, and when the dust is settled, then go to Liujiazhuang. I will come to you."

Erniu hurriedly kept the words in his heart, and repeated them several times, without a word, and said, "I've remembered them."

"And there is a scholar. Once I leave Ye County, you can transfer this woman to another yard just in case. She is my biggest reliance on Hao Yaoqi. Once her entourage kills her back, she will probably fail."

The scholar nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Brother Ying, I will be careful."

...

The next day, Ying Yi got up early in the morning and washed his face. A knock on the door came from outside.

Erniu opened the door a long time ago, and Zheng Wu walked in from outside the door.

When Zheng Wuyi saw Ying Yi, his eyes lit up. Without saying a word, he fitted and rushed over like a tiger. Ying Yi was surprised. He didn't know what Zheng Wu meant, but he quickly looked and grabbed Zheng Wu's wrist and lifted Zheng Wu out with force.

Zheng Wu landed on the ground and rolled over, twisted his waist and turned over, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Ying is really amazing!"

It turns out to be a test.

Last night, Ying Yi killed the thief and destroyed the dead. But Zheng Wu did not see it with his own eyes. Before, Ying Yi made a bold statement, and Zheng Wu felt disdainful. Although the facts were unquestionable, he was still suspicious. This morning, he came to invite Ying Yi at the order of Zheng Yunzhi, which was just right to give it a try. This attempt made him convinced.

Zheng Wu is also a martial arts practitioner. He has been practicing strength and skills since he was a child. No one in Ye County can compare with him. But at Ying Yi, a sudden attack was also overturned. Although it was only a momentary contact, the surging power shocked him.

Ying Yi clasped his fists and bowed, and smiled and said, "I offended you."

Zheng Wu shook his head and said, "It's me that I'm rude. Brother Ying showed his power last night. I'm also a martial arts practitioner. I can't help but itchy when I hear it. I didn't expect Brother Ying to be even more powerful than I thought. He really has the courage of a king."

Ying Yi hurriedly said, "I am a man, where can I dare to compare with the King of Western Chu."

Then he said, "It's early in the morning, do you know what happened to Brother Zheng when he came to me?"

Zheng Wu smiled and said, "The master asked me to invite Brother Ying to the mansion for wine."

When Ying Yi heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Is there any happy event that won't be done?"

Zheng Wu smiled and said, "There is a happy event. Isn't it a happy event for a person like Brother Ying to stay in Ye County?"

Ying Yi blushed a little when he was holding this hand and said hurriedly: "I dare not. Since the county master invited me, I'm not polite."

He turned around and said hello to Erniu: "Eniu, I'll go to see the county master, you and the scholar will do your own thing."
