The situation in the northeast came to an end for the time being at the moment when Baiyushan completely occupied Liaoyang City.

The final result was that Hongmen paid a total of more than 200,000 troops, fought against the Qing army of about the same size as the Qing Dynasty, and finally gained a foothold in the northeast by paying more than 100,000 damages.

This is a resounding victory, and it is also a great challenge to the heritage of Hongmen.

For this war, Hongmen not only paid the price of soldiers, but also emptied Hongmen and other finances, and even took on millions of debts. Judging from Hongmen's current income, Hongmen will be in a financially tight situation for at least three years.

Of course, the losses of the Qing people and others are only more than Hongmen, and they will not be less than Hongmen, and it is roughly estimated that the elite of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army lost in the hands of the Hongbaotang army are at least more than 80,000, and there are also 30,000 or 40,000 Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers with considerable combat effectiveness, and those Han army and Korean auxiliaries are countless, and more than eighty percent of the surrendered troops accepted by Hongtang are Han army and Korean soldiers, which is as much as 50,000 or 60,000.

Not to mention that the Qing people will have to face an army of Yehsakchi who has expanded by half of the scale, and a scorching war will inevitably break out in the future. And because of the battle with the Hongtang army, the elite strength of the Jurchen Eight Banners has reached a critical point, and there are not many soldiers who can fight, plus the Jurchen tribe of Ye Hebu wantonly poisoning and clinging to the Aixinjue Luo clan, so that the Jurchen tribe warriors, who were originally sparsely populated, are consumed again and again.

Through the detailed information of the Hongmen Outer Guard and the Spy War Station, the Hongtang Counselor unanimously judged that the current strength between the Qing Aixinjue Luo clan and the Ye He clan tends to be a relatively balanced number, that is to say, as long as the Ye He clan does not give up, it is difficult for the Daqing Dolgon Department to really defeat the Ye He clan.

In the end, the most likely thing to happen is that the land between the Ye He clan and the Aixinjue Luo clan will be divided, in addition to the territory occupied by the Hongmen, with Shengjing as the dividing line, the west will become the territory of the Aixinjue Luo clan, and the east will fall into the possession of the Ye He clan and its affiliated tribes.

This is not a conclusion made by Hongtang on paper, but they have more than sixty percent certainty to make a conclusion, because in this matter of splitting the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty, the Hongmen have obtained the greatest benefits, so the Hongmen are bound to secretly let the situation develop in their direction, and there will be no other changes until they Hongmen recovers.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Ye He clan and the Aixin Jue Luo clan may reach a peace agreement and reunify, but with the Aixin Jue Luo clan's targeting of Ye Hesakqi in recent years, as well as the hatred between the two clans, this possibility is even more low, less than a third of the chance.

When the news of Hongtang's repulsion of the Qing Dynasty's attack reached Hongmen Dayuan Island, Li Tianyang, who had always been mindful, finally breathed a sigh of relief and put down the biggest stone in his heart.

At the same time, there were also representatives of the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, in the face of this great news, Li Tianyang did not block everything from outside the Northeast Pass as before, and now he can be regarded as having fun with the people.

The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was also happy, they also paid a lot for this war, the materials and ships that supported the Hongmen war, as well as the early investment in the mines near Anshan in the northeast, the cultivation and establishment of farms, etc., all of which can be regarded as proof of their determination to be in the same boat with Hongmen.

Although they were very confident in Hongmen, there was no shortage of other thoughts at work in their hearts, and the Hongtang army had to deal with the powerful Jurchen alien race that even the Ming Dynasty, which occupied the entire Central Plains, could not defeat.

Now that the situation in the Northeast is clear, these proprietors of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce have completely understood a truth, even the Qing Dynasty army, which is so strong that it has almost no opponents, has returned in front of the Hongtang army, so doesn't it mean that Hongmen has the possibility of winning the world?

Businessmen have always been the weakest in these ideas of the family and the country, and the position of the word interest in their hearts is even deeper.

The experience of pre-Qin Lu Buwei, Fan Li and other business ancestors tells everyone a truth, what kind of return will be obtained in the end if you bet on a force that may dominate the world.

And now the strength and potential shown by the Hongmen are the most likely forces that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce knows so far.

If everyone was tied up by Hongmen to work together before, so they suffered some risks that they shouldn't have suffered, and everyone was more or less dissatisfied with this; Then, with the Hongtang army on the frontal battlefield, the conquest of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qing Dynasty was blocked, and its soldiers were lost countless times, and they returned in vain, but it let everyone see the heritage of Hongmen winning the world.

To be tied to a force that has won the world, and to enjoy the dividends it brings from the early days, this is a beautiful thing that many businesses crave but can't get, how can the proprietor representatives of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce want to express their dissatisfaction after this dark flower!

For a time, there was an endless stream of business owners who found Li Tianyang, taking advantage of the opportunity of the annual joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, to come to confess to Li Tianyang, and at the same time did not forget to express his loyalty to the Chamber of Commerce, all kinds of investment in the Hongmen territory in the future, etc.

The Ming Dynasty, which is separated by a sea, has also obtained this news that cannot be considered good or bad: the Jurchen barbarians of the Qing Dynasty have long been the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty, and now the other party has suffered huge losses in the homeland, which is of course what the Ming Dynasty officials are willing to see, and it is also of great help to them in the war near the northern Jingshi; However, depressed a Qing Jurchen, this Hongmen came out again, and the rich Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty is only a sea away, compared to the threat of the Qing people to the Ming Dynasty, it may not be higher than the threat of the Hongmen to the Ming Dynasty.

And the most embarrassing thing for the Ming Dynasty court is that just now because of the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, Emperor Chongzhen was forced to move the capital to Yingtianfu Nanjing, and now Hongmen has risen from Nanyang, and the future is bound to be like the Shuntianfu Jingshi, Nanjing feels the threat from Dayuan Island, but it is even heavier.

You must know that Nanjing City is backed by the Yangtze River, for the Hongtang fleet, which is famous for its naval division and is invincible, as long as they want to attack Nanjing, they only need to go retrograde from the Yangtze River estuary on Chongming Island, and they can directly kill the city of Nanjing after hundreds of miles, even if the Ming Dynasty army wants to stop it, there is no big way!!

The agreement that had just been signed with the Honghongs began to repeat itself after the Hongtang army defeated the power of Allah of the Great Qing Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty was reluctant to turn his face with Hongmen for the time being, of course, he had too deep scruples, but he secretly began to clamp down on the activities of Hongmen and its surrounding forces in the land of the Ming Dynasty, but he gradually increased his efforts.
