Li Tianyang was actually reluctant to let this team of sailors out, but in comparison, although the Penghu sailors were now also regarded as the strength in their own hands, they were still not as distressed as Hongtang, which made Li Tianyang more distressed.
Moreover, in addition to practicing all these years, the Penghu sailors have only chased down some pirates who have flowed to the Penghu realm in a small fight, and they have not experienced the real battlefield.
An army that has not really experienced the battlefield of life and death, even if he tries to train hard for countless hours, he will always have some spiritual things missing from his wounds.
This can be easily compared when the soldiers of the Hongtang Water Division and the Penghu Water Division are pulled together.
Therefore, Li Tianyang also hopes that this Penghu sailor can sharpen his life and death battlefield, cut the edge of their knife, and see blood.
In the end, the Penghu sailor team that received Li Tianyang's order to go north was full of 3,000 people, which can be regarded as a big move since Hongmen recuperated.
Accompanying these 3,000 soldiers to the north, there were more than 30 Hongmen 400 warships, although he was not optimistic about the prospects of this northbound army, but Li Tianyang also did not want the loss of this naval division under his command to be too huge, so he still arranged an escape route for them.
If it is based on the Penghu Sailor's own family background, it is almost impossible to integrate these more than 30 well-configured and well-maintained 400 materials to stand out, unless the governor at this time, Lord Zhu Yifeng, can mobilize the whole of Fujian to raise for it.
Before leaving, it was still necessary for Li Tianyang to say hello to his commander, Lord Zhu Yifeng, otherwise, even if Li Tianyang had a good reason to send troops at this moment, he would inevitably have some melons afterwards.
Moreover, after Li Tianyang and them lost the powerful backer of the eunuch party, it is also necessary for Li Tianyang to deal with the superiors above him, otherwise the experience of Governor Mao Wenlong may be heard on Li Tianyang.
Li Tianyang's request, in the eyes of Zhu Yifeng Futai, who was also worried about the battle situation in Beijing at this time, could be said to be in line with his thoughts.
It's not that he didn't think about sending elite troops from the garrison of the Fujian Guards to the north, but the soldiers who could fight and dare to fight along the coast over the years had all been transferred to Guanwai and other places a few years ago.
What is especially odious is that the group of Fujian generals under his command are arrogant and brave on weekdays, but when it is really time to use them, at this time they have all become shrunken turtles, either to complain about illness, or to pretend that there is something at home, and no one stands up.
Only Li Tianyang's petition order made Zhu Yifeng breathe a sigh of relief, anyway, Zhu Yifeng, as a member of the Ming Dynasty, naturally needs to be loyal to the monarch, and he is also worried that his inaction in this war will be settled by the Autumn Queen, which will affect his future promotion.
Even after Li Tianyang's invitation was sent, Zhu Yifeng sent his henchmen to meet Li Tianyang and ask him if he needed help, and at the same time hoped that Li Tianyang could dispatch more soldiers and horses to the north.
At the beginning, in order to be able to ask for a little more food and salary, in order to be able to sit in the position of Admiral of the Navy, Li Tianyang wrote the names of more than 10,000 Hongtang soldiers in the roster of the Ministry of War.
Therefore, Lord Zhu Yi and Feng Futai also roughly understood how strong Li Tianyang's strength was, so he was somewhat disappointed that Li Tianyang only sent 3,000 troops this time.
In the face of the henchmen sent by Lord Futai, Li Tianyang opened his mouth widely, exaggerating the materials, grain, grass, and ships that his team needed to go north, and at the same time taking the opportunity to get some interest from Fujian Yamen, he also told this Lord Futai in disguise that the mobilization of troops was not just a few simple words, but involved various issues.
Taking the conditions offered by Li Tianyang, Zhu Yifeng's eyelids jumped a few times, and finally after asking experienced generals and henchmen, he came up with a roughly accurate value of silver and other things needed to send troops.
Compared with Li Tianyang's request, the actual supply of materials has shrunk by several percent, and the cost of 3,000 soldiers going north is also a big burden for the Fujian Yamen, which in turn made Zhu Yifeng dispel the idea of continuing to persuade Li Tianyang to send more soldiers to the north.
By the time the Penghu sailors were all ready and more than 30 warships set sail north, it was already the eighteenth month of the second year of Chongzhen, and it was more than ten days before the Chinese New Year's Eve.
At this time, the battle situation in the Beijing division has become much clearer, and under the command of Yuan Chonghuan's commander, more and more of the Ming Dynasty's Qinwang's division has been in a stalemate with the Eight Banners who have invaded the pass, and the threat of the Eight Banners Army to the Beijing Division has also been weakened too much.
The Later Jin people still suffered from the lack of troops, although the emperor Taiji was eloquent and strategic, well aware of his own shortcomings in this regard, and had been committed to winning over the Mongols who were also hunting for a living, skilled in bows and horses, and had been very effective, but in the face of the huge imperial machine of the Ming Dynasty, at least now the weight level between them is not equal.
It can almost be said that the main force of the entire Jurchen tribe was dispatched seven or eight times out of ten, and at the same time, it also teamed up with several Mongolian tribes that were co-opted, together with the soldiers and auxiliaries who assisted in the battle, the army of the Later Jin in this invasion of Zunhua and other places was only more than 100,000 people, and the actual elite who could fight should be less than 50,000.
And what they have to face is to be surrounded from all directions, a steady stream of the Ming Dynasty's Qinwang division, after the battle gradually stalemate, in just over a month, the Ming Dynasty's men and horses near the Beijing Division have been several times that of the Houjin people.
At this time, the Houjin people no longer dared to act rashly, but they still had enough confidence to escape the encirclement of the army of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty in all directions.
In addition to the stalemate, Huang Taiji listened to the opinion of the think tank, and began to play the wisdom plan, and an obvious discordant plan was released by their Houjin people, and the target was Yuan Chonghuan, who was rectifying and restraining the army of King Qin at this time.
In the past, this kind of vulgar discord was impossible for the ministers of the DPRK and China who had been immersed in politics for countless years, but in fact, the shortcomings of Yuan Inspector such as self-righteousness and self-use finally brought death to himself, but at this time he was trying to fight against the Houjin army outside the Beijing Division, and he did not investigate the ghostly tricks behind him.
also blamed Inspector Yuan himself, he understood that the city of Jingshi was profound, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Houjin people were allowed to attack, it was impossible to have the opportunity to defeat the Beijing Division without half a year and August.
Therefore, in the case that Emperor Chongzhen sent several envoys to let King Qin's division enter Beijing to defend, Yuan Chonghuan insisted on going his own way and led King Qin's division to a stalemate with the Houjin people outside the city, and the catastrophe of the gods did not even give Emperor Chongzhen a necessary explanation.
This gives the post-gold people room to operate.
