The fleet that came to Ganghwa Island was the Hongmen fleet that set off early and then had no trace.

After settling down for a whole week on the nameless island of the Great Black Mountain Islands, the Hongmen soldiers gradually became accustomed to the icy and icy climate of the north.

With the help of the military doctors and soldiers using various herbs and ingredients, the colds and fevers that spread in the Hongmen fleet were finally controlled, and more and more soldiers began to recover, and the strength of the Hongmen fleet was also steadily recovering.

It was not until after the second day of the first lunar month that Wu Jie and Shang Kexi felt that the fleet had finally returned to the right track, so they issued the order to go north again and led the team towards the Korean Peninsula, which was not far away.

Of course, the scale of the Hongmen fleet itself is there, not only to ensure that the overall strength of the fleet is not too affected, but also to play a certain role in the Korean operation, Wu Jie and they naturally can't rush out, but should hide in a dark place, quietly waiting for a suitable opportunity, to give the Qing people a fatal blow.

Therefore, although the Hongmen Fleet, which had been able to appear on the Korean Peninsula for a long time, had actually arrived on the Korean Peninsula on the eighth day of the first lunar month, it had been out of everyone's sight and no one knew about it like a ghost, but it had always been concerned about the situation on the Korean Peninsula.

The Qing Dynasty army besieged the mountain city of Southern Han, and the people of the Northern Hongmen saw that the route of the Qing Emperor was the top priority of the Hongmen fleet, but unfortunately, the Qing Emperor never gave the Hongmen fleet the opportunity to sneak attack, and there was always a team of tens of thousands of people around him to guard, so that Wu Jie and they were not sure that they could capture the enemy chief in one fell swoop.

However, the rapid change of the battle situation soon allowed the Hongmen fleet to find an opportunity to show the stage, and when Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde led the only fleet of the Qing Dynasty to sail and kill in the direction of Jianghua Island, their actions had actually fallen into the eyes of the Hongmen fleet.

The fleet of more than 10,000 sailors is indeed much more powerful than the Hongmen fleet in terms of size and quantity, but the strength of an army is measured not only by the quantity, but also by the quality and equipment of the soldiers.

The Hongmen Naval Division's Western-style warships were almost all the same, and the full artillery was able to defeat this obviously rabble of the Great Qingshui Division with the overall power of a salvo alone.

As a former colleague, Shang Kexi had already recognized Geng Zhongming's two unrighteous people at the beginning, if it weren't for the two of them, he Shang Kexi would not have come to such a field now, and the Huanglong General Army, who had the grace of knowing him, would not have committed suicide because they led the Qing troops to attack Lushun.

The enemies were very red when they saw each other, and the Daqingshui Division led by Geng Zhongming and them was a piece of fat in the eyes of Hongmen, and the relationship between Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming and others made Wu Jie and them make a decision on the spot, wanting to eat this piece of fat sent to the door.

Seeing the success of Geng Zhongming and the others' surprise attack on Jianghua Island, and watching the defenders of Jianghua Island struggling to maintain it, it was not until Geng Zhongming and his group of people suddenly landed ashore that Wu Jie and Shang Kexi issued an order, and the entire fleet attacked at full speed.

"Saved!!"

The adjutant who came back to his senses looked at the Western fleet with Hongmen's characteristics, and there was no other force in the Far East Sea today except Hongmen.

In order to boost morale, the officials above the middle and high-level levels of the DPRK basically knew about the Hongmen military rescue, but they never knew when Hongmen would appear and how many troops would come to support.

The Hongmen fleet was like a moving Great Wall on the ocean line, and it unexpectedly appeared in front of Geng Zhongming and his gang, who thought they had a chance of winning, and put the sailors and soldiers who had already landed in a dead end.

The first to bear the brunt of the battle was the dozens of warships that had been collected with great difficulty with the strength of the Qing Dynasty on the sea surface of the Great Qing Division, and in the absence of sufficient manpower to operate them, the result of facing the heavily armed and fully loaded Hongmen fleet could be imagined.

Without the Hongmen fleet using their sharp and powerful shipborne artillery, it was directly up to hand-to-hand combat, and the Hongmen effortlessly defeated the fleet of the Great Qingshui Division, and fled to the shore to join the large army.

A blocking team of the Hongmen fleet cruising on the side strangled the lone sea ships that had managed to escape from the center of the war on the sea, so that not a single soldier of the other side had the opportunity to run back to land, and inform the main army of the Qing Dynasty of the arrival of Hongmen.

This is also the reason why Wu Jie and Shang Kexi have been standing still, watching Geng Zhongming and others' teams beat the garrison on Jianghua Island to pieces, swallowing the fat of the Great Qingshui Division is just an appetizer in Wu Jie's eyes, they still hope that their existence can be concealed for a longer time, and they can seize the opportunity to severely damage the Qing army again.

"Bastard!! Why do Hongmen people participate in the battles of other countries, what are our spies doing!! ”

At the moment when they saw the huge fleet that suddenly came out, Geng Zhongming and the others, who had dealt with Hongmen, judged who this unexpected fleet was faster than the elite sentries of the Qing Dynasty.

They never thought that Hongmen would actually intervene in the battle between the Koreans and the Qing people, and the moment they saw the Hongmen fleet, they still delusionally thought that the Hongmen fleet was just passing by, but when they saw the Hongmen fleet showing their hideous minions and slashing at themselves with cold butcher knives, they understood that everything was over!!

"Shall we surrender?"

Kong Youde said weakly towards Geng Zhongming.

After all, the two of them are rebel generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they have just joined the Qing army, and their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty may not be higher than when they were to the Ming Dynasty.

Since they were able to slash the butcher's knife at their compatriots without hesitation, now at this life-and-death juncture, it is not a difficult thing for them to rebel again and face the barbaric Qing people.

"Are you sure that this bastard will let us go? I heard that this guy has now taken refuge in Admiral Li Tianyang and served as a deputy under his command, with the fact that we set up a trap for him to make him defeated, who can guarantee that he will not hold a grudge and be cruel to us! ”

Geng Zhongming was actually a little moved, the reason why they rioted at the beginning was not necessarily that they really wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, but in their opinion, Yuan Chonghuan cut off the head of Mao Commander indiscriminately, and then suppressed their Dongjiang military attachés in various ways, arrears of salaries, unfair handling of things, etc., and since then there are countless situations, and finally forced them to take risks, wanting to use the strength in their hands to bargain with the imperial court.

But who would have thought that the final result would be to make them traitors of the nation, and to serve in the hands of the Jurchen Hulu they swore to fight to the death, but their central acid is not known to outsiders.
