The soldiers of Dongjiang Town lost last year, but Shang Kexi did not hide it at all, and returned it to Li Tianyang of Dayuan Island.

Li Tianyang and them were certainly a little dissatisfied with their imprudent actions, but as an important chess piece in Liaodong to contain the Jurchens, Li Tianyang and them could not let the other party free up their hands to continue to harass and devour the strength of the Daming Border Pass after annihilating most of Dongjiang Town.

The layout of Shang Kexi and them on Phi Island in Dongjiang Town, in addition to arranging the backhand of Liaodong in the future, is more to hope to buy more time for the Ming Dynasty, consume more of the Jurchens' heritage, and then let the Hongmen base camp get enough time and opportunities for development.

Therefore, when Dongjiang Town suffered this defeat, Li Tianyang and the others sent an order to Xiao Xiurong, the Ryukyu Naval Division, which was closest to Dongjiang Town, and asked him to support Dongjiang Town.

This is also within a few months, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town made a comeback again, and even increased their strength to invade and harass the territory of the Qing Dynasty, killing Huang Taiji and they were caught off guard.

The Liaodong defense line where Hong Chengchou is located, thanks to the blessing of Dongjiang Town, waited for the Qing army to evacuate and waited, looking at the Jurchen army that disappeared into the horizon, none of the soldiers on the Ningjin front line asked Hong Chengchou to fight to pursue the retreating Qing army.

The actions of the Dongjiang Town army were also erratic, so that the Qing army wanted to entangle each other, it was very difficult, and their 5,000-strong local miscellaneous cavalry pursued the Dongjiang Town army too deeply and imprudently, and was ambushed by the Dongjiang Town soldiers in a valley using mines and other firearms, and after destroying most of them in one go, their cavalry did not dare to enter the vicinity of the Dongjiang Town army again, repeating the mistakes of the previous team.

When Dolgon's main army of the Qing Dynasty hurried back, in the end, they didn't even see a shadow of the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, and the only thing left for them was the remains of the villages and tribes covered with devastation, as well as the human skeletons that had been eaten by wild beasts.

Even if the Hongmen intelligence system was found out by the Qing people to find an important line, but it still could not stop them from collecting information from the Qing Dynasty, and without Yue Cha, an existence closer to the core of the Qing Dynasty, it was relatively difficult for them to secretly investigate, but the large-scale actions of the Qing Dynasty could still be detected with more attention.

When they learned that the other side's reinforcements were only more than 100 miles away from their own, the troops of Dongjiang Town and the Ryukyu Navy Division began to retreat to the nearest coastline, and uprooted all the tribes and strongholds that blocked them along the way, and cleared them up.

By the time Dolgon's army heard the news, it was too late, and the troops of Dongjiang Town and the Ryukyu Naval Division had already boarded the naval warships and sailed away.

At the same time, they returned with them, as well as countless materials that were plundered and expounded in the belly of the Qing Dynasty, tens of thousands of cattle, horses and livestock, and tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty people and Korean slaves rescued by them.

In the end, this sweep not only brought back the losses of Dongjiang Town before, but even had a slight surplus, which was enough to make Dongjiang Town more confident and foundation in the coming days, and continue to be like a nail, stuck in the coastal hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, making it difficult for it to sleep.

The battle situation in Liaodong, because of the existence of Dongjiang Town and Ryukyu, a-pounding stick, suddenly fell into a strange calm, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaoliao, was of course relieved, and keeping the Ningjin defense line also made the Qing people dare not wantonly attack the flawed Liaodong and Mongolian border passes of the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing people are also helpless, without the suffering of the water division is simply imminent for them, before the elimination of the Dongjiang Town, which can not be said to be a big trouble, but also a rival that cannot be underestimated, they want to really devote themselves to the attack on the southern Ming Dynasty, they have to take the huge risk of instability in their own defense.

As for the soldiers in Dongjiang Town, especially the old departments such as Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming, who originally followed Mao Wenlong, they were even more overjoyed and proud from the bottom of their hearts.

When Mao Wenlong was in Phi Dao, there were nearly 100,000 soldiers at the peak, but they had never been as lethal as the soldiers of Dongjiang Town today, and they could not dare to break into the heart of the Qing Dynasty with tens of thousands of troops, wantonly destroying and plundering.

It can be said that today's Dongjiang Town, although it seems to be weaker than Mao Wenlong's part in terms of volume, but with the support of various advanced tactical combat preparations such as guerrilla warfare and firearms, the destructive power they can bring to the Qing Dynasty is far greater than that of Dongjiang Town in Mao Wenlong's period, and they can better contain the Jurchens' ambitions and actions to attack the Ming Dynasty.

In order to deal with Dongjiang Town, which wanted to get rid of but was unable to do anything and other opponents, the Qing Dynasty increased its investment in the water division during the period when it was originally based on Shengjing in Liaodong and did not need much water division army.

For these measures of the opponent, Dongjiang Town is also-for-tat, while warning those pirates who are about to move in the name of Hongmen, on the other hand, he also directly waved the sword in his hand, completely controlled the sea area along the coast of the Qing Dynasty, and attacked any ship that entered this sea area without asking.

For a while, the tripartite forces on the Liaodong side fell into a strange balance, the most powerful Qing Kingdom, unless it was really iron-hearted to mobilize the whole country to invade the Ming Dynasty, otherwise with the daily deployment of their kingdom's troops, it was helpless to take the Liaodong Ming Army and the Dongjiang Town defenders on the island on the Bohai Bay.

The rolling tide of peasant uprisings in the inner belly of the Ming Dynasty was in full swing, so that the Ming Dynasty had to use more military power to suppress the peasant uprisings, and Liaodong could only defend passively, and it was impossible to recover the inherent lost territory.

As the weakest of the three, Dongjiang Town is the most important link in contributing to the current situation, and they seem to be in the enemy's territory, and there are no reinforcements to support them, which is very dangerous; But in fact, they can sit back and relax, and a fleet composed of the main warships of the Hongtang fleet "Yang Fan" and "Jiaolong" warships in their hands has no opponent in the entire sea area around the Ming Dynasty.
