The breakthrough to break the deadlock did not come from the confrontation between the Dumping Army and the North Korean Army on the front line such as Chungcheong-do, but from the rear defense line of the Qing Dynasty.

The news came very suddenly, so suddenly that even Huang Taiji, who was extremely well-educated, felt scared for a while when he heard it.

The line of Guoshancheng, Dingzhou, and Yizhou was the road map for the Qing army's march into Korea, and most of the materials and people that the Qing army repeatedly intercepted were transported back to Shengjing, their base camp in Liaodong, from this route.

If this route is blocked, Huang Taiji, a large army that has penetrated deep into the interior of the Korean Peninsula, may even have a major crisis in the whole army.

Since Dolgon took control of Kaesong, he was assigned by Huang Taiji to guard the rear defense line, and in addition to his original 3,000 cavalry, Huang Taiji sent 10,000 Han troops to him.

For the Qing army, they were not afraid that the enemy would come to them openly to make trouble, but they were afraid of this kind of opponent who was peeping at them in the dark, not to mention that this opponent was a powerful opponent that even the brave and good little brother Dolgon was deeply guarded and admired.

Therefore, the shrewd brother Emperor Taiji naturally wanted to guard against the other party, and continued to place Dolgon, who had exchanged hands with the Hongtang army and knew each other somewhat, on the front line of Kaesong, which was also to guard against the Hongtang army.

However, at the beginning of the founding of the country, they did not know much about the importance of the naval fleet, and at the same time, because most of Liaodong was inland, the Qing people did not pay enough attention to it, and this time they finally paid the price for their lack of attention to the most advanced naval division army of the contemporary era.

When the battle between the Qing and the Koreans was in full swing, the Hongtang army finally transported more than 10,000 Han generals to the three islands of Iriomote where Wu Daofu was located, and handed them over to him to transport this group of soldiers back to Dayuan Island.

Wu Jie, who had a hasty rest in the Iriomote camp, discussed with Wu Daofu at the same time, and transferred a team of about 2,000 elite soldiers from Wu Daofu's Ryukyu sailors to follow them, so that they could see how the Hongtang army fought.

At this point, when Hongtang Wu Jie's troops returned to the Korean Peninsula again, their team swelled from 6,000 when they left Dayuan Island to more than 10,000.

Don't forget, Geng and Kong Erjiang and more than 3,000 elite soldiers under their command were absorbed into the two teams by Wu Jie and them, if they were sent to Dayuan Island, first, they would worry that they would have any bad intentions on the way, and secondly, they didn't want the general who had just been attached to him to have any other misunderstandings.

With such a large army setting sail again, Wu Jie, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, and the members of the Army's Aircraft Department have been discussing the next move on the way.

Hong Tang's previous battle with Dolgon exposed them to the eyes of the other party, and they were no longer the opponents who hid in the dark and peeped in, so that the Qing people could not show their hands and feet.

Although the Hongtang army showed extremely strong combat effectiveness in the battle with Dolgon, it was naturally impossible for the Qing people to regard Wu Jie, the Hongtang division, as a great enemy of life and death.

After all, the number of troops exposed by Hongtang at that time was not enough for the Qing people to regard them as too strong opponents, even if the Qing people repeatedly lost the first division of Legenkong Daqingshui, the first division of Dolgon fought with Hongtang, and the abandoned son of the Chinese army battalion, etc., the total loss of more than 20,000 people in the Qing army.

But even so, the total number of Qing troops in Korea is still nearly 70,000, of which nearly 20,000 cavalry have suffered very few losses, how can the Hongtang army be taken into account under such a scale.

However, Wu Jie and his team split the army into two parts in order to prevent their own army from being unsettled, and only used a part of the main force to attack Dolgon's department, but it also made the Qing people not pay enough attention to them.

This gave Wu Jie and them another opportunity to attack the opponent's main force, which is absolutely undesirable, not to mention that half of the soldiers in the Hongtang army at this time are not soldiers trained by Hongtang himself, and their combat effectiveness is not guaranteed, just Li Tianyang's advice before leaving, it is impossible for Wu Jie and them to choose this target that is obviously contrary to the battle policy of the Hongtang army.

In this way, Wu Jie's eyes crossed over the main force of the Qing Dynasty, which was caught in the people's war of the Korean Kingdom, and turned their heads to the logistics troops on the coastal route that were escorted back to Liaodong by the Qing Dynasty.

Dayuan Island has always been a scarce population, which makes Li Tianyang and Wu Jie After they set foot on Dayuan Island, they have never stopped recruiting displaced people and educating barbarians.

Not only the scarce population on Dayuan Island, but also the Luzon Islands, which have just been controlled by Hongmen, and the three islands of Iriomote presided over by Wu Daofu, which one is not a population devouring machine, tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people sent to the mouth, may not make Hongmen burp.

After having a goal, Wu Jie and the others worked out a plan very quickly, but in the end, a big problem that bothered them was where to requisition a large number of sea ships to transport the materials and people that were about to arrive.

Since they want to do it, then Wu Jie and the others are ready to use the power of thunder to be safe in the case of the enemy's surprise, and obtain the greatest benefit value in the first battle, instead of choosing a small target and finally startling the snake.

Because of the impact of the Korean war, the trade between the maritime merchants between Korea and the Japanese kingdom has dropped a lot in this cold winter.

When the news of Hongtang's need for a large number of seagoing ships for transportation was spread through the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce among their channels, the surrounding merchants who traded with Korea, and even those who came from far away from the Japanese Kingdom, came to the door and offered to provide transportation transactions for Hongtang.

Among them, it is natural to flatter the Hongmen team, which is now in full swing in the Eastern Seas and the South Seas, and it is also out of the heart of the generous remuneration given by Hongtang.

And when everything is in place, the next thing is to wait for the last gust of wind from the Korean mainland.

Soon, with the help of Geng, Kong and other generals, Wu Jie and the others learned about the specific movements of the Qing Dynasty's logistics baggage team from the Han army soldiers stationed in Dingzhou, Yizhou and other places.
