Li Tianyang's words were beautiful, and after sending Gan Dabiao away, he picked up the latest battle report of the Hongtang army in the northeast that he had just sent back, and his face gradually became a little more sad.

Li Tianyang pressed the treasure on the decisive battle between the Northeast and the Qing people, from a military and political point of view, in fact, it is unwise, but he always can't get out of the memory circle he brought from later generations, the image of the Qing people in the history of the victor, so that Li Tianyang, who wants to embark on the road of hegemony in the world, only thinks about taking the opportunity to knock him down when he finds that the other party has a fatal flaw, so that he can have the confidence to step into the position of the chess player in this big chess game.

It is this kind of demonic thinking that when everyone was a little opposed to Li Tianyang's idea, Li Tianyang insisted on persuading everyone to believe in himself, and even divided the originally complete plan into two steps in order to impress everyone. Although it persuaded everyone that it seemed more secure, it actually made Hongmen walk on a dangerous wire rope, and below the wire rope was a bottomless abyss.

If Hongmen suffered a defeat in the battle between the Northeast and the Qing Dynasty and suffered heavy losses, it would not only be a very heavy blow to the entire Hongmen system, but also a collapse of Hongmen.

The reason why these allies, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Ryukyu Kingdom, are willing to contribute money and efforts to help Hongmen is of course due to Li Tianyang's promise before, but more importantly, it is not the strength of Hongtang's army in the Northeast War, which makes them full of company confidence in Hongmen, and more Hongmen are full of expectations for the future!

However, if Hongmen is defeated in the war in the northeast, then the loss of the Hongtang army cultivated by Lai for decades, the allies of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce will inevitably be worried about the future of Hongmen in the future, and it is also a wise choice to draw a line with Hongmen and return to the arms of the Ming court.

Even if the Hongtang military department suffered too much loss in the northeast, so that the merchants of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce saw that Hongmen was weak and could no longer protect themselves, they would most likely be the first to challenge Hongmen's dominance in Nanyang, and challenge Hongmen together with those Westerners who had long coveted the wealth of the East.

This is not an impossible thing, and it can even be said to be the most likely thing to happen, because in the eyes of businessmen, all fiery morality is false, and what really makes them care about it is always the word profit.

Over the years, although I have been with Hongmen, Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Ryukyu Kingdom, Sulu Kingdom and other partners, everyone has eaten a lot of fat, and everyone has earned no profits, but the real big head has actually been earned by Hongmen, who makes the strongest and largest volume?

But if you don't look at the interests of Hongmen, it's all fake, everyone develops with Hongmen, just to earn a little bit of benefits, it has already made everyone grow to the status it is today, so if you can distribute the majority of Hongmen's earnings to the big guys, then I don't know how rich you can be?

The so-called heart of defense is indispensable, Li Tianyang can stay in the current position steadily, so that Hongmen in his own hands to develop and grow to today's field, not only from the red silk from its vision from later generations, but also because he gradually understood the sinister heart of the people, etc., and by sorting out these truths and integrating the interests in his hands, there is such a scene as Hongmen today.

It's just that at that time, I was in a hurry and took a wrong step, but it made Hongmen's forward trajectory deviate, and I fell into a situation where I couldn't fail, and I said that I didn't regret it, it must be false.

But in fact, from a realistic point of view, it is logical that Li Tianyang will have this choice.

Li Tianyang is no longer young, and now after April of the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, he is already a forty-six-year-old middle-aged man, his body is gradually beginning to go downhill, and his daily spirit is not as good as before, which makes Li Tianyang feel more and more strongly about the passage of time.

The eldest daughter Li Qiong is now a big girl in her twenties, Li Tianyang became a field doctor according to her wishes, although she was taken care of and did not let her go to the front-line battlefield, but she did not take much care of her, so that she became the princess of Hongmen.

The eldest son, Li Yun, entered the civil affairs department, and followed Gan Dabiao to learn how to manage civil affairs, logistics, etc., and was the future heir of Li Tianyang in the eyes of Hongmen.

The youngest son, Li Bin, is a child studying in the military department of Bengang Academy, and his future development is in the direction of the military department, it seems that they have already planned their future, but few people know that Li Tianyang hopes that they can live more freely.

At least, Li Tianyang didn't want to leave strong enemies like the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Great Shun to these children of the next generation. Li Tianyang hopes that in his own generation, these obstacles in front of the children will be removed one by one.

The battle with the Qing Dynasty certainly made Hongmen choose the company's biggest and strongest opponent at the first step, but this is not Hongmen's biggest opportunity?

If we can grasp the emptiness of the Qing people's borders and the lack of internal defense, and they have not yet had time to digest the Ming Realm north of the Yellow River, and defeat and defeat them, then after defeating the powerful enemy of the Qing Dynasty, the road to Hongmen in the future will be easier to follow.

Even the most powerful enemies of this era have been defeated in their own hands, so aren't those weaker Daming, Dashun, and even the Great Western Dynasty more easily defeated by themselves?

Li Tianyang comforted himself, and at the same time, he spread this confidence to Hongmen, and Hongmen and other allies at night, and carried out the war that would determine the future direction of Hongmen.

However, now it seems that this war that will determine the future of Hongmen is a little turbulent, which makes Li Tianyang worry!

The battle between Phoenix City and the front line of Hat Helmet Mountain can be said to be a decisive battle between Hongmen and the Qing people, if Hongmen wins, then Hongmen will turn from the current defensive position to an offensive, attacking the northern borders such as the Qing people, until the Qing Jurchens are driven to Siberia more farther.

If Hongmen fails, then Hongmen can only withdraw its troops from the border of the Qing Dynasty in order to protect itself in the future, otherwise with the deployment of troops in many Luzon and other places on Dayuan Island under Hongmen, it will definitely be no match for the fleets of the major Western kingdoms, the Ming Dynasty government and other forces that are eyeing the sidelines.

Even in order to shrink his forces, Hongmen eventually had to abandon his colonies in the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus, and instead gather the military strength in these places.
