Just in the middle of the vast sea, when a huge sailor came from afar, in Dongjiang Town, one of the actual armies of Hongmen, the 40,000 army was already sharpening its knives and ready to go.

Among the 60,000 troops, in addition to the Dongjiang Town itself and other troops, there was also an army of Xiao Xiurong of the Ryukyus who went north.

As early as when the Qing army was led by Dolgon to the south, in order to add trouble to the Qing people in Liaodong and delay Dolgon's footsteps, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town continued to attack the territory of the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty, but they were prepared by the other party to deal with it, and the strength of Dongjiang Town itself was not strong, so it was able to destroy the Jurchen territory outside the Liaodong Pass and the death thieves were somewhat unsatisfactory.

Affected by this, Li Tianyang sent Xiao Xiurong an army to support the other party, so that it could exert more pressure on the Qing people.

And as Li Tianyang made up his mind to start an offensive against the Qing people, he sent a message to Xiao Xiurong's main force to go north and join Shang Kexi's Dongjiang Town soldiers, which gave rise to the scene of Dongjiang Town's 40,000 troops ready to go.

"The letter from my hometown has arrived!"

Shang Kexi, as the person who later joined Hongmen, gradually let go of the contradictions and entanglements between them as he got along with Geng Zhongming, and quietly formed allies with these former colleagues.

Of course, under the Hongmen system, their allies are more of a loose alliance, and they are located on the distant Dongjiang Zhenphi Island, so they can only make this move.

"Let's go, let's hear what kind of news I brought back from my hometown!"

Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde are inseparable from Meng Meng, although they have a lot of contact with Shang Kexi secretly, but when it comes to the relationship between relatives and aliens, the two of them are more intimate.

"From today onwards, all the armies of Dongjiang Town and the Ryukyu Naval Division will be under martial law, and they will not be allowed to take vacations, waiting for the arrival of the army to converge."

"At the same time, order Geng Zhongming's general army to go to the Korean Kingdom, and be sure to urge the King of the Korean Kingdom and the Consul Choi Mingji to exercise restraint before our army acts, and at least strive for the other party not to send troops to support the Qing Dynasty when our army is moving!!"

"The life is still gratifying, and Kong Youde is ...... general soldier"

A series of orders came out of the mouth of Xiao Xiurong, who had just come to Phi Dao not long ago, in fact, even Xiao Xiurong himself had just opened this secret order, and he had not learned the contents of the secret order until now.

"It's going to be a big fight!!"

After Xiao Xiurong announced the order, Shang Kexi, who had listened to the secret order, had both surprise and excitement on his face, looked back at several colleagues around him left and right, and said loudly.

"Yes, this action is not small, it looks like I am really going to have a big fight with the Jurchen barbarians!!"

Xiang Shenggao, Geng Zhongming and others can also be regarded as members of the Hongmen Young Zhuang faction, especially Geng Kong and others, as generals, if they want to gain a deeper foothold in the Hongmen, they naturally need more merits, and what can be more meritorious and establish meritorious deeds faster than in wartime.

After receiving the order, several people rubbed their hands and looked at another thicker secret letter in Xiao Xiurong's hand, which contained a more detailed plan formulated by the military department.

After sitting together and opening the secret letter, after studying the plan, Shang Kexi and the others were more sure that this military operation was extremely planned, and it also made them feel heavy pressure.

"Old Geng, you will go to the Korean Kingdom alone, the burden on your body is not light, be careful along the way!"

As a partner, Kong Youde was a little dissatisfied with Hongmen's separation of the two of them, and at the same time worried about it.

It is true that in the past two years, they have secretly communicated with each other in Donggang Town and the Korean Kingdom, and they have also secretly signed alliance contracts with each other, as well as commercial and trade exchanges, exchange of food and materials, and so on.

However, after the Jurchens perceived the swaying of the Korean Kingdom, they severely condemned the Korean Kingdom, and even almost wanted to push Choi Mingji, the Korean leader, to the end and escort him to the Qing Dynasty to await trial.

Before Prince Dolgon went south, he sent a cavalry to drive straight in, opening the border between Korea and the Qing Dynasty under the pretext of seclusion, and at the same time forcing the capital of Korea to threaten the court of the Korean Kingdom, to the effect that he should stop playing some tricks, since he was already a subject of the Qing Dynasty, then he should take their responsibility and help the Qing Dynasty prevent Dongjiang Town, the last Ming army.

The loss of the Ningjin defense line made the foreign aid of the Ming Dynasty that the Korean Kingdom hoped for come to naught, and the pro-Ming faction, which had been hit hard, was even more deeply injured, and had no strength to deal with the pro-Qing faction that had risen in the DPRK.

In this case, the Korean kingdom has gradually begun to become a subject state of the Qing Dynasty, waving the flag and cheering for it, and even now there is a musket force of 10,000 in the area of the Korean border pass closest to Donggang Town, ready to assault the Ming army in Donggang Town at any time, in order to show their break between the Korean kingdom and the Ming army.

Ironically, most of the muskets of the North Korean army were still circulated from Donggang Town through covert transactions, but now the muzzles of the guns are aimed at their original owners.

"Don't worry, now the leader of the DPRK is still in charge of the pro-Ming faction Choi Mingji, with his wisdom and closeness to us, even if I go out to negotiate this time, it will not be too dangerous."

However, Geng Zhongming was very clear about the reason why the base camp sent him to the Korean Kingdom, except for himself, the rest of the people may have made some achievements in military affairs, but when it comes to communication with people, they are lacking too much.

And now that Hongmen is on the line, it needs a person who has dealt with Choi Myung-gil and other North Korean ministers and can speak well to carry out such tasks, so it is logical that he will finally take on the role.

"It's you, this time we are not a small fight, when the time comes, the Jurchen barbarians in order to protect their homeland and relatives, I am afraid that they will fight with us, and the battle will definitely be very fierce and dangerous, you can be more careful, don't wait for me to return from North Korea, hear the news of your death!"

Geng Zhongming seemed to joke with Shang Kexi and a few people easily, causing a few people to fight back, which made the heavy topic a lot easier.

Immediately early the next morning, Geng Zhongming took several guards and drove a sea boat in the direction of the eastern sunrise, and on the base camp of Dongjiang Town and other Phi Islands, groups of soldiers lined up to drill amid the shouts of their respective commanders, startling groups of skuas and seabirds.
