If you want to really convince the group of middle-aged partners around you, it is naturally not something that Li Tianyang can completely solve with a few impassioned words, and all night long, Li Tianyang revealed his heart by revealing his heart, and said all the beautiful visions in his heart, but in the end, what barely persuaded everyone was Li Tianyang's thoughtful plan.

"Rest assured, I never do anything that I am not sure of, so this attack, in fact, the initial attack is just a temptation, if the expected effect cannot be achieved within a month of the start of the attack, and the Jurchen army advancing south is killed, I will immediately give up this plan!"

Li Tianyang patted his chest and assured his brothers, which could be regarded as a concession he made.

“……”

Everyone was dumbfounded, tonight Li Tianyang's heart-to-heart words finally made the news that everyone had been speculating in their hearts fall, although it surprised everyone, but there was also a feeling that it came naturally.

"Okay, it's decided, then the brothers have to help me fight again, in the future, whether we will soar or be biased in the South Seas, it depends on this one!!"

As soon as Li Tianyang saw that everyone did not object, he knew that tonight's heart-to-heart meeting was not in vain, and immediately made a decision to close the coffin for this conversation, and with a cordial smile, he hugged Gan Dabiao and rescued the meeting building, which had not been out for several days.

After the psychological mood of the senior leaders was persuaded by Li Tianyang, the entire Hongmen began to prepare for the transfer process in full swing, and a steady stream of Hongtang troops began to secretly mobilize and gather in the remote bases of Hongmen, and countless food and materials were also transported from Bengang, Luzon and other places.

Fortunately, with the foundation laid by Li Tianyang before, he persuaded these partners of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to plan the business operation in the north in advance, and the intensive operation of the caravan under the command of Qixintang at this time is frequent in the eyes of the public, but it can also be explained that it is Qixintang's behavior in order to lay out the business in the north, which is not too surprising.

As for things such as the actions of the foreign guard intelligence system, and the gathering of the Ryukyu sailors in the distance, because of the remoteness and the same secret operation, no one can detect it.

On the 18th day of July in the 18th year of Chongzhen, the sky was cloudless, and near a remote island more than 200 miles southwest of Keelung Town, Dayuan Island, a behemoth-like army of sailors had been secretly assembled.

As far as the eye can see, the sea centered on the island is densely packed with tall masts and the huge ships under the masts.

This is a stronghold secretly established by the Hongtang fleet, which was originally used to facilitate the replenishment and rest of the cruising fleet, as well as for weekday training, and now it is selected as the gathering point of the Hongtang army for the sake of secrecy.

In the camp on the island, Wu Jie, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief by the north, was all the commanders of the Hongtang Military Department, and several division commanders led by Wu Chao and the regimental commanders under his command were all summoned to the island to participate in this mobilization meeting.

"I won't say much nonsense, I used the soldiers for a thousand days to raise troops, and now the master of the door has made great determination and perseverance to take this step, and our entire Hongmen has been preparing for this day for thirty years, so this march can only succeed, not fail!"

"Use me in battle, use me to win!!"

Unlike the leaders of the high-level of Hongmen, the generals of the Hongtang military department are all high-spirited and full of confidence, and the Hongtang fleet has been fighting in the north and south for decades, and has experienced countless opponents who have been trampled under its feet, and has long cultivated an iron backbone that a winning division should have.

The true value of a soldier has always been fully reflected on the battlefield, and if a soldier wants to be promoted and accumulated, he needs to obtain it through war, so when the members of other departments of Hongmen gradually get used to a comfortable life and no longer want to forge ahead, these soldiers are few groups that still maintain a strong spirit of enterprising.

And this is also the reason why Li Tianyang has been willing to stay in the barracks for more than a year and regain his enterprising spirit and a lot of pioneering will.

"Okay, let's go!!"

The specific marching plan and route were naturally sent to the commanders of each team and division one by one, and Wu Jie did not waste words, but continued his own style, and the so-called mobilization meeting was completed in just a few words.

The officers of the various teams that had dispersed boarded their warships one after another, and then, in the midst of a dense burst of orders, the sails of one after another of the warships of the Hongtang fleet slowly rose, and then under the blowing of the sea breeze, they moved firmly towards their goal.

Standing on the highest lookout post on the island, Wu Jie watched the ships go north, with a sense of pride and pride in his heart, and at the same time, he was not without expectations and confusion for the future.

This is the first time that Hongmen has such a large-scale operation, and it is also the first time that he Wu Jie has presided over such a large military operation, according to Li Tianyang, the 50,000 soldiers of the Hongtang army they dispatched in advance are only the first step of tentative action, if they really confirm the emptiness of the Jurchens, then they will send more soldiers to the north in the later stage, and there will be more troops in their hands at that time.

This is a big gamble, and it is also an important reason why Wu Jie opposed Li Tianyang at that time, even according to the situation collected and predicted by Li Tianyang, the Jurchens have a lot of emptiness in their homeland, and the Hongtang army can obtain great results by surprise, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Jurchens in the land of Hengdan Pass, if they learn of this incident, what kind of blow will be caused to their Hongtang army in the end, it is unimaginable.

And the most important thing is that Li Tianyang and others are really going to make progress in Liaodong, he is ready to press the remaining troops of Hongtang and give the Jurchen barbarians a battle of life and death, although the Hongtang army still has a way to retreat, but no one can say for sure what is happening on the battlefield, and when the Hongtang army is not careful, the whole army may be wiped out, so that Hongmen's decades of operation will be ruined.

This is what Wu Jie is most worried about, and it is also the reason why he is in a heavy mood and under great pressure.

But the arrow is ready to fly, since he was persuaded by Li Tianyang, Wu Jie can only do his best to make this operation go to the best expectations.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go too!!"

Wu Jie retracted his thoughts, said to the crew members and guards around him, and then led the team towards a fleet of seventy or eighty warships on the dock.

This fleet was a large army commanded by Wu Jie himself, and the task he chose for himself was the most arduous and dangerous task in this early operation.
