In the end, Li Tianyang thought about it carefully, discussed it with others around him for a day, and finally decided to send a fleet of five "Yang Fan-type" warships to Yuncong Island to meet the rumored Jurchens.

In fact, if Mao Wenlong's letter had come earlier, Li Tianyang would have had more reason to send a fleet to Yuncong Island.

He Yong's contract implementation team had just set off for only two or three days, and Li Tianyang didn't bring too many ships with He Yong because the team had just experienced a tragic battle, only a "Yang Fan-style" warship.

But fortunately, at this time, He Yong and the others did not leave for a long time, and it was still very easy for the fleet composed of the five warships that set off later to catch up with He Yong, but they wanted to meet each other in the vast sea, which was even more troublesome.

Under the pretext of sending more people to He Yong and them, Li Tianyang sent out the fleet formed by these five "Yang Fan-style" warships, and it was still Lu Yu who led the team.

As the regimental commander who was most familiar with the all-armed "Yang Fan-style", the experience accumulated by Lu Kui in the naval battle of Satsuma this time could be used on Yuncong Island, especially the outstanding scale of the artillery fire of the "Yang Fan-style" warship, which could allow Hongmen to give the Jurchens enough blows without going ashore to assist Commander Mao Wenlong.

At the same time, Lu Xiao followed He Yong and them to show their faces in front of the Shimazu clan and the Tokugawa envoys, which could also deter Satsuma and make them dare not easily repent.

Before leaving, Li Tianyang not only told Lu Yu's brigade not to go ashore to fight, but also gave him two teams of elite soldiers from the Hongmen special operations battalion to test the strength of the Jurchens and see if they could capture the two Jurchen prisoners and come back.

In fact, there are Jurchens among the pirates, but they are more in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in the north, and rarely come to the South China Sea and the East China Sea to mingle.

Therefore, Li Tianyang's impression of the Jurchens is more from the TV of later generations, and there is no real impression of the future backer or opponent.

For example, the Japanese people were once described as devils and beasts by the people along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and they were invincible, but Li Tianyang raised them in the war with the Japanese people, except for feeling that the Japanese people's ability to fight alone was indeed outstanding, other aspects were not as powerful as the coastal people said.

When the Hongmen soldiers had less than 100 men on each side, it could be said that they were at a disadvantage in land warfare; Between 100 and 200 people, the two sides are almost deadlocked, and there is no distinction between them; But if the number of people is more than two hundred, then the Hongmen soldiers will have the upper hand.

This is the result of Li Tianyang's actual combat, so now Li Tianyang wants to see if they really have three heads and six arms through close contact with the Houjin Jurchens!

This is the reason why Li Tianyang finally decided to send troops.

In addition to the soldiers of the special operations battalion, there was also a handwritten letter written by Li Tianyang, which was handed over to Lu Yu to Mao Wenlong.

In fact, there was nothing else in the letter, to the effect that now that they had just experienced a big war in Hongmen, they really couldn't spare too many people to come out to help Mao Shuai, so they only sent such a partial division to support Mao Shuai, and asked him to take care of Yunyun.

Li Tianyang's actions, to be honest, were a plan to kill two birds with one stone, firstly, he naturally let Mao Wenlong accept his favor, let the other party know that he had betrayed the other party's favor, and sent a team of sailors over.

Although there are fewer ships, it is not a strong army after all, and the artillery support alone is enough to surprise Mao Wenlong.

Second, I also hope that the other party will not write to the court in the case of his own troops, and let it exert pressure through the DPRK and China, so that his team that has just been hit hard will send troops again.

After wearing the red skin of the Ming Dynasty, Li Tianyang and them had a lot of constraints on doing many things, such as Mao Wenlong really insisted on going to the court and letting the Fujian Navy send troops to Yunyun, Li Tianyang had many ways to spend money to find Li Yongzhen and others to do a little bit, but in the end, it didn't cost a lot, and it would leave a lot of troubles.

Now that Li Tianyang's private army has been sent out, it can be regarded as giving the other party, and he is naturally embarrassed to covet Hongmen, a powerful sailor, Li Tianyang can still drive the team back in the light afterwards, and he doesn't have to worry about the other party embezzling it.

After arranging these emergencies, Li Tianyang had to transfer his energy back to Dayuan Island, the year before he took many indigenous tribes to the team leaders to go out to broaden their horizons, after the leaders of these tribes returned, they gradually no longer contradicted many of the policies of Hongmen, so that the strategies of language, writing and measurement methods implemented by Hongmen slowly penetrated into the various tribes.

Even the Laike tribe, which has the greatest hostility to Hongmen and most of the clan cottages have not been opened to Hongmen, is also in Laike. At Barton's request, construction began on a mountain road from Chicken Coop Harbor to their Kede cottage.

And this time, Li Tianyang's request for assistance from the Bengang Alliance, the first to respond was also the Lake tribe, Lake. Contrary to the attitude that Li Tianyang of Hongmen had always regarded as the biggest enemy and opponent, Patton now actively communicated with Hongmen, took the initiative to absorb advanced knowledge from Hongmen, and actively responded to a series of policies of Hongmen.

Although the arrival of the indigenous coalition army did not play a role, they ran away in vain, but Li Tianyang and they did not seem to want this army to return to their respective families from now on, but were ready to take this opportunity to sweep the large jungle fields east of Daxinggang and eliminate the large and small tribes that emerged again.

As I said before, the brigade organized by the Bengang Alliance last time swept a large open area in the primeval jungle.

However, because of the distance and the large amount of territory obtained by the sweep, most of the territory was given up by everyone when it was allocated, at least until the population of each tribe grew, they would not be too interested in these jungles and wilderness far from the core area of the Bengang Alliance.

This also makes it possible for many tribes to emerge one after another in the jungle fields that were not occupied by the tribes in the jungle fields that had not been cleared and separated from the mountains.

The members of the various clans who have enjoyed enriching their tribes by annexing and capturing the natives of the living people naturally have a strong interest in these living forces that have emerged again.

Compared to the long wait of more than ten years to cultivate a tribal member through childbirth, just clearing the jungle fields that have been included in the sphere of influence of the Bengang Alliance, and capturing the members of those strange tribes to enrich themselves, I am afraid that as long as the tribal leader with a little brain will not refuse!
