Chapter 1248
Meanwhile, Wang Qinian, under the guise of Aba Tu, swaggered into the military supply depot...
Several warships flying the flags of the Tartar navy slowly sailed into the waters off Beiguan.
The navy stationed at Beiguan, which was the first to spot them, quickly fired signal flares.
Order the other party to stop where they are!
Only after seeing the signal flare match the target did they lower a small boat and quickly approach!
"Which aspect?"
Faced with questioning from the naval forces stationed at Beiguan, Wu Jieyu, standing on the deck, took out the waist tokens of Longduo and Abatu and replied, "By order of Governor Longduo, I am to deliver these goods directly to Beiguan."
"Has it already been discussed with Aba Tu, the deputy general of Beiguan?"
"He gave us all the waist tokens."
"I specifically instructed that this batch of equipment must be delivered immediately after the transaction."
"how?"
"General Aba Tu, didn't you give us any advance notice?"
As he said this, Wu Jieyu had already thrown the waist tokens of Longduo and Aba Tu to the other party.
The captain in charge of maritime patrol carefully examined the two waist tokens in his hand by the firelight, then said, "Wait a moment, I need to report and verify."
After saying this, the captain ordered his men to return to the warship.
During this time, Wu Jieyu ordered his men to remain on high alert at all times.
Although there was nothing wrong with either of the waist tags, no one could guarantee that the other party hadn't noticed anything amiss.
In particular, as the navy stationed in the waters off Beiguan gradually approached during this period, Wu Jieyu and his party were prepared to take action at any moment.
“Our deputy commander said there’s no problem with the waist badge.”
"But according to regulations, we must board the ship and inspect the cargo."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jieyu replied, "No problem."
"Bring your men up here."
The goods that Wu Jieyu brought were originally intended by the Cui family of Qinghe to be traded with the Tartars.
Therefore, when they boarded the ship and inspected it, they naturally found no problems.
"Sir, why are there Ming army markings on this equipment?"
"This……"
"The red-coated cannons you are equipped with were previously registered with the Ming army."
"Oh? Yes, yes. Just brought them back from over there?"
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
"Yes Yes!"
The fact that the Tartar navy was secretly trading with the Ming Dynasty was practically an open secret.
Otherwise, given the Tartars' level of metallurgy, how could they have equipped themselves with such sophisticated weapons?
Originally, the Tartar navy officers who boarded the ship to inspect it only subconsciously raised their questions. Now, after hearing Wu Jieyu's answer, they were certain that the other party had just returned from Miaodao Island.
The first priority was to deliver equipment and supplies to the front lines for resupply.
"Didn't you bring anything back for your brothers this time?"
Goods from the Ming Dynasty have always been highly sought-after items by the Tartars.
Especially strong liquor!
Although the Tartars were not entirely a nomadic people, their grain production was very low due to geographical limitations.
How could someone have surplus grain to brew wine when their own people are struggling to feed themselves?
But it's really cold up north!
Therefore, Ming Dynasty liquor was not only a scarce commodity in the hands of the Tartars, but also a highly sought-after item.
"Have!"
"How could Grand Commander Rondo forget his own brothers?"
"Our first three warships will dock first. The rest will proceed directly to our water fortress."
At this point, Wu Jieyu whispered in his ear, "There's strong liquor and meat."
"This can't be said outright."
"General Ordos has repeatedly emphasized that drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited during wartime."
Ordo was the Tatars' frontline commander-in-chief.
To ensure the fighting strength of the Tartars, an explicit prohibition on alcohol was issued.
Upon hearing Wu Jieyu's words, the Vice Commander-in-Chief who had been in contact with him lit up and said, "Understood, understood!"
"Are they the ones that come after?"
"Correct!"
"Beneath the gunpowder were strong liquor and meat."
"Isn't our navy supposed to be resupplying its gunpowder?"
"Yes, we need supplies, we need supplies."
"The next few ships didn't have many brothers. You guys were the ones unloading the cargo the whole time."
"As long as the numbers match, please don't say that we didn't deliver it."
"necessary!"
After saying this, the Tatar naval commander immediately shouted, "Let the ships ahead pass immediately."
"Hurry up. Don't hold up our brothers, unload the equipment in Yicheng."
"We'll take over the next few ships."
"Yes!"
With his command, the navy stationed there took over the remaining warships.
They rushed towards Beiguan Water Village.
Looking ahead at the ship's disappearing silhouette, Wu Jieyu, standing at the bow, asked the Imperial Guard beside him, "Are the suicide squad members in the cabin all arranged?"
"arranged."
"As long as these few ships dock at Beiguan Water Fortress, the suicide squad inside will ignite the strong liquor and kerosene inside."
"The gunpowder carried by these ships is enough to raze the Beiguan Water Fortress to the ground."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jieyu nodded emphatically.
Fifteen minutes later, his fleet approached the coast of Yicheng, which was under construction!
After handing over the waist tag and explaining the purpose of the visit.
The Tartars stationed here did not suspect anything.
After all, the navy had already inspected the area before them.
Moreover, passage was permitted.
This means there's absolutely no problem.
"Sir, no one is unloading cargo at this time."
"The only group of men were watching the prisoners work overtime."
"Damn it. Are you telling us to unpack it ourselves?"
"Let them bring the prisoners here."
"Hurry up. We need to go back and report after we clear the ship."
"Yes Yes."
Urged by Wu Jieyu, the adjutant, upon learning that Aba Tu had drunk too much and had already gone to sleep, was forced to violate regulations by allowing the prisoners from Jianyi City to come and unload the goods.
It's important to know that what was being loaded and unloaded this time was all equipment.
If these prisoners, especially the veterans of Beiliang, were to possess these items, it could very well lead to a mutiny.
Therefore, at the repeated pleas of the adjutant, Wu Jieyu 'reluctantly' led his men off the ship to accompany them in guarding the prisoners as they moved their equipment.
'Boom.'
Just as this group of prisoners were being driven to carry the equipment inside...
A piercing explosion suddenly erupted from the direction of Beiguan Water Village.
"Ok?"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw that the entire Beiguan Water Fortress was not only blown to pieces, but the warships moored there were also engulfed in flames.
Although they were more than ten nautical miles apart, the people on this side could still faintly hear the screams of the sailors.
"What, what's going on?"
"Why did the Beiguan Water Fortress suddenly explode?"
"This……"
'Pfft. '
Before the leading adjutant could finish speaking, Wu Jieyu, who was standing behind him, pierced through the man's chest with a single slash.
"what?"
"you you……"
"Do it!"
At Wu Jieyu's command, the Imperial Guards who were with the local garrison and watching over the prisoners revealed their bloodthirsty fangs!
