208 Letters from afar

On the thirteenth day of the second month of the Apocalypse, Li Tianyang received a news of the war from the far north, which made him wonder whether to see it or not.

The news was about the Houjin people, the chief officer of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong, and the Koreans.

On the eighth day of the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Later Jin Emperor Taiji ordered Beile Amin, Jierharangtaiji, Azigetaiji, Lindu Taiji, Yuetuotaiji and Shuotuotaiji to lead a large army to conquer Mao Wenlongdu, the chief officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Korea.

At that time, Mao Wenlong had already noticed the movement of Houjin, and repeatedly wrote to the imperial court to warn him, and after the Ming court learned of the warning, he also sent the governors and governors of Liaodong to clear the wilderness and take strict precautions.

However, when the Ming Dynasty official was still in the clear field, and even sent people to question the Houjin, the Houjin military had already sent troops to the southeast, directly into the Korean territory, and smashed Mao Wenlong's old nest in Tieshan.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong happened to supervise the sea Yuncong Island, and was not in the Tieshan garrison, and the Houjin army failed to capture Mao Wenlong, and saw that the North Korean army was vulnerable, so he simply took advantage of the situation to break Xuanzhou, Dingzhou, Hanshan and other important places, and finally went directly to Pyongyang, the former capital of North Korea, and had it.

At the beginning of February, Hou Jin Erbel Amin reached a neutral peace, and the Korean king Yi Ji sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and finally the two sides reached a satisfactory consensus, and Hou Jin went to Huangzhou again.

The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, could no longer hold on at this time, and fled from the palace in Seoul with his wife and children and fled to Ganghwa Island.

Li Tianyang was able to receive information from North Korea so quickly, and it happened to be the second half of the first month, and Lu Yu and his team happened to return from Satsuma, and the strait between the Japanese Kingdom and Korea was narrow, and there were many merchants coming and going, so Lu Yu and they had already heard about it.

The second is that Mao Wenlong wrote a private letter to Li Tianyang after being trapped on Yuncong Island, asking him to send a sailor to help him.

At the beginning, in order to safely transport back the livestock purchased by himself at a huge amount of money from Dongjiang Town, and to prevent them from being coveted by hostile gangs such as Samoto and Bo, who were still threatening at that time, Li Tianyang sent ten "Yang Fan-style" warships to escort the Qixintang cargo ship to receive the livestock purchased by Dongjiang Town.

In this way, Mao Wenlong had already discovered that Li Tianyang had such a powerful sailor in his hands, and because he was not far from the Wa Kingdom, the entanglement between Hongmen and the Wa State Satsuma at the end of the sixth year of the Apocalypse also reached the ears of the other party, making him more convinced of the strength of the Hongmen.

Therefore, when Mao Wenlong was trapped on Yuncong Island and received an order from the imperial court to smash the rear of Houjin, he naturally thought of Li Tianyang's team of sailors.

The Ming Dynasty's sailor team is scattered, and the strength is not good, not only the problem of Fujian, but the problem of the entire dynasty, don't look at Mao Wenlong's own sailor team, but if you let Mao Wenlong pull out his sailor team to walk around, you may not believe your eyes.

Where is this a country's army, even worse than the warships of Li Tianyanghongmen and the Flying Dragon Gang in the Battle of Jilong Harbor last month, many warships are completely transformed from cargo ships, except for their huge size, they have no other advantages.

Thanks to the fact that the Houjin people are a horse nation, and their short handle is the water master, until now Dongjiang Island can always stand in the hinterland of the Houjin people in Liaodong, that is, bullying people who are not accustomed to water warfare and do not have water sex.

Because of this, although Mao Wenlong was trapped on Yuncong Island at this time, he actually did not have to worry about his life, and he could even say that he could leave if he wanted to, and he could stay if he wanted to.

However, after all, Mao Wenlong was the governor of the Ming Dynasty canonized the officers and soldiers stationed in Korea, if he fled in battle, wouldn't it be to Yuan Chonghuan, a Shangguan who was already unhappy with him, not to mention that as the governor, he couldn't sit back and watch North Korea suffer a catastrophe.

The reason why I want to write a letter to Li Tianyang is that for a feudal official like Mao Wenlong, who is in charge of an army alone, sometimes the edict from the court is just an ornament for them, and it is not very useful.

Unless they themselves are willing, they have a way to disobey the yang and the yin, and they also let the court have no way to deal with them.

Li Tianyang didn't expect that his team would now be able to enter the eyes of Governor Mao Wenlong, and even write a letter to ask about his intentions first, which made him have to treat the other party's proposal seriously.

In fact, this is not the best time for Hongmen to send troops, just after experiencing a big war, Hongmen is still in the north of the loss of relatives has not eased up, war-weariness is probably at the highest peak.

However, Li Tianyang couldn't ignore Mao Wenlong's proposal as the commander, not to mention that Mao Wenlong's identity as a second-class member was there at this time, and it was okay to say that he was a feudal official, but now the Hongmen team wants to purchase a large number of livestock and other materials from Dongjiang Town, and Li Tianyang and others have to consider Mao Wenlong's attitude and opinions.

Moreover, in Li Tianyang's heart, he also wants to have a preliminary contact with the object he wants to serve next, or the object of confrontation, to see if they are really as powerful as they say on TV, and they are really invincible.

In Li Tianyang's heart, it was not the so-called barbarian disputes on the Internet that were resistant to serving the Manchu Dynasty, but because of the series of policies of closing the country after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, so that the ancient Chinese country was finally reduced to a weak person who was bullied by a group of small countries.

What makes Li Tianyang even more sad is that although the Ming Dynasty is full of devastation, it is still a well-deserved world power in this era, but who can guide it In less than two hundred years, China has fallen from a world power to an existence like an ATM by Western countries, so that the sons and daughters of China, who have a glorious history of 5,000 years, can taste the taste of slavery.

Of course, Li Tianyang, who only thought about protecting his family and companions at the beginning, did not think about defecting to the Qing Kingdom and becoming the founding nobles of the Qing Dynasty such as Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong.

It's just that with the vigorous growth of Hongmen and the development of Dayuan Island, Li Tianyang's ambition is also growing step by step, although he still regards Toucheng Daqing as his last way out; However, his pseudo-angry thinking inherited from later generations made him a little shaken in his devotion to the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when Li Tianyang received Mao Wenlong's handwritten letter, while considering the status and attitude of the other party, it was this factor that made Li Tianyang want to see the style of the so-called Jurchens.

Anyway, the Jurchens are not accustomed to water warfare, as long as Li Tianyang tells the soldiers who go to sea not to go ashore, he can almost guarantee the safety of the Hongmen disciples, and at the same time, he can also let his henchmen evaluate whether the Jurchens are really strong and fierce!

Yesterday I took a break, I wrote 190,000 words last month, to be honest, it is a very difficult task for me, if the subsistence allowance is successful, it means that I can't be lazy in the next few months, give some support to the thousands!!
