The consequences of killing Mao Wenlong came so quickly that it was beyond the imagination of Yuan Chonghuan, the supervisor.

Without the dead nail of Phi Dao, which was inserted in the hinterland of Houjin, Houjinren was finally able to mobilize all his strength to break through the long border line of the Ming Dynasty.

After Chongzhen learned the lessons of the previous failures in October of the second year, this time Huang Taiji and their direction of breakthrough, bypassing the well-defended Ningjin defense line, under the leadership of the Mongolian guide, the troops broke through Longjing Pass, Hongshan Pass, and Da'ankou in three ways to break through the pass, capture Zunhua, and approach the Beijing Division.

In fact, Inspector Yuan Chonghuan also had some understanding of Hou Jinren's movements, and warned the princes of Jingshi in advance, but he was not taken seriously.

Since the beginning of the Apocalypse, Huang Taiji has stepped up his efforts to encircle the Mongolian tribes and began to incorporate them into the establishment of the Eight Banners Army, so it is not an accident that they invaded from the Mongolian steppe at this time.

The only thing that moved the princes of the Beijing Division was that the children of the Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji began to send troops at the end of October, and they had already killed the outer defense line of the Beijing Division in just over a month.

For the first time in hundreds of years, the Jingshi was approached in front of him, and all the ministers in the court were panicked, and asked Emperor Chongzhen to move south, and asked Chongzhen to defend the city and the people, and finally Emperor Chongzhen showed his courage and issued an order to hold on to help with a sad face.

Master Qinwang, who was closest to the Jingshi, came in points, but all of them were beaten by the Houjin Eight Banners Army led by Huang Taiji.

Until Yuan Chonghuan, who was in a hurry, began to integrate tens of thousands of Master Qinwang and intercepted the Eight Banners of Huang Taiji near the Jingshi, which made the civil and military ministers and Emperor Chongzhen in the Jingshi breathe a sigh of relief.

When Li Tianyang and his side received the information from the Jingshi side, it was already the middle of November, and when the steady stream of information was sent to Hongmen, Li Tianyang urgently summoned the members of the various ministries and the Hongtang class at the advisory level, and sat together to discuss the future movements of the Houjin.

Li Tianyang was very blindsided, he never thought that Jin Ren would be so fierce to hit the Jingshi, according to his vague memory, shouldn't this Chongzhen Emperor be broken through the Forbidden City by Li Zicheng, a peasant rebel army, and hanged on a mountain in the capital?

Didn't it say that in the end, the Houjin people broke through the defense line outside the Ming Dynasty because of the traitor Wu Sangui? Now that Wu Sangui has no shadow, the Jin people have broken through the defense line of the Ming Dynasty, is there a problem with Li Tianyang's own memory?

Or is it because of the arrival of his butterfly, has the butterfly effect formed by him so great that it has changed the direction of history?

This shouldn't be!

Li Tianyang's heart was full of doubts, and at the same time, he discussed the possible direction of the war with these staff officers around him.

As far as military affairs are concerned, Li Tianyang's current military ability may not be comparable to that of the staff officers and leading personnel that Hongmen has been focusing on cultivating over the years.

When Li Tianyang was still worried about the safety of the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi, Dong Haoran, An Xianming and others under his command made a decision that the Jingshi was in danger after a steady stream of information was delivered.

While predicting the direction of the next battle in Beijing, Li Tianyang and the others were also discussing whether they should take this opportunity to send troops to relieve the siege of Jingshi like other Qinwang divisions.

This is a speculative action, and it is also an opportunity to show loyalty to the emperor in the capital, whether it is for show, or really wants to rescue the Jingshi, Li Tianyang actually wants to send an army to the north.

The conclusion of the Participating Office also made Li Tianyang dispel the biggest hesitation in his heart, and immediately sent a sailor north to Tianjin Wei to solve problems for Emperor Chongzhen.

However, Hongmen finally recuperated for a year or two, and now he suddenly began to join the tragic war again, and Li Tianyang was really reluctant in his heart.

The battle of Hongmen Hongtang's department, just now it was not easy to completely supplement the war of past losses, and now although this battle is not dangerous according to the opinion of the Participating Office, but after all, the opponent is the Houjin Jurchen, and if you really want to take a look at the other party, the loss of Hongmen may not be too small.

Li Tianyang wanted to show his loyalty in front of Emperor Chongzhen, lest after the siege of Jingshi was lifted, the little emperor and the important ministers of the court would be displeased because of his inaction; He thought that it would be best not to damage the interests of his team this time, Hongmen's foundation was still shallow, but there were not too many people to fight with others!

In the end, it was the latter who had the upper hand, Li Tianyang because of his vague memory of history, so that he did not know the occurrence and results of the famous change in the history of later generations, so he was extremely worried at this time that the Houjin would take the opportunity to start a large-scale invasion to occupy the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, kicking off the prelude to the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Tianyang hopes that the Hongmen team in his hands will be as strong as possible, where is he willing to let them go out and shed blood for others!

Others thought that it was impossible to have both fish and bear's paws, but Li Tianyang thought that it was only because that person did not have enough capital, and at this time, Hongmen happened to have such an army in his hands, which could fully meet Li Tianyang's requirements of wanting to show loyalty to the little emperor and not damage the strength of Hongmen's team.

I'm afraid everyone also thought of it at the same time, that is, the Penghu Sailor Army's nearly 6,000-strong sailor army.

In the past few years, the sailor has been in the hands of Li Tianyang, and the life of the low-level soldiers has been getting better and better, and there was a situation where there was no meal and the food and salary were never paid on time, but since Li Tianyang took office, it has never happened.

The only thing that is a little uncomfortable is the endless training among the sailors, even the rainy day has never stopped, compared to the previous situation of idleness, it is naturally much more difficult.

However, seeing that the salary and treatment were good, everyone endured it and conscientiously completed the day-to-day exercises.

Of course, the life of those generals of the old division of the Navy Division was not so easy, in the past, thousands of bad habits such as stealing and cheating, leaving their posts without permission, and eating and taking cards, after Li Tianyang took office, he used the corpse of a former colleague to force everyone to be careful and cautious, and it quickly changed.

The generals who had connections and couldn't stand it had already found various connections to transfer out of the Penghu Water Division, and Li Tianyang never stopped him, and saw him off with kind words; The rest of those who had no way out and voluntarily stayed behind began to strictly implement Li Tianyang's simplified part of the charter from Hongtang's ethics.

For a time, the style of the Penghu Naval Division has changed greatly, and now after several years of persistent training, in addition to not really seeing blood and going to the battlefield, this group of former rabble has also had the appearance of a regular army.
