For Liu Bu, attacking Lushunkou opposite the Bohai Sea was a cross-sea attack, which was a very risky operation. Military and national affairs should not be taken lightly.

However, for Zheng Zining, who is accustomed to fighting and killing at sea, this can only be regarded as a small-scale conflict or an armed march.

Their battle with the Dutch in the Nanyang region is called naval warfare.

Originally, Zheng Zining was the other party's navy and still had a certain sense of fear, but since she heard her subordinates' reports to the other party, she began to disagree.

The navy of Jiannu was not short of power. There were hundreds of large ships that could transport tens of thousands of troops across the Bohai Sea at one time, and also transport a large number of supplies, tens of thousands of stones at a time.

But when those who were used to fighting at sea battles looked, they found that they could only be defined as an inland transport fleet.

What's even more pitiful is that in the West or Southeast Asia, they had already used linear tactics thirty years ago, or used cannons on the side to solve the enemy.

Jiannu, the so-called Bohai navy, had their way of solving the battle, although it was still on the battlefield.

If you fight with pirates here on the coast of Ming Dynasty, the other party will probably play with you, but if you fight with a regular navy, who will still play with you or not, the other party will directly use cannons to feed the fish.

Originally, this Jiannu fleet still had some cannons for defense. In the sequence of the Ming Navy, they were still equipped with cannons for defense. Although there were no gunboats built by the Zheng family imitated Westerners, a ship consisted of more than twenty main cannons and thirty secondary cannons, just like a moving turret.

But these Jiannu Navy were better, and there were not many cannons. They even dismantled them and moved them to the land to deal with the Ming army on the land.

The Ming Empire had a vast sea border, and they did not pay attention to the interests of the sea. However, the fishermen and herdsmen who came out of the Tungus Forest of Jiannu took even more attention, which caused the embarrassing situation in the fleet this time. They still had some cannons. Now, all of these cannons were removed. Their navy used catapults, poles, giant crossbows, and fire attacks.

Now the mainstream navies in the world have entered the era of battleships, and they are still playing with these things.

So Zheng Zining decided that she must destroy the opponent before she went south. If she could take the opportunity to capture Lushunkou, it would be even better. Considering their land power, there was no way to control Lushunkou, because their troops could not resist Jiannu and a large-scale counterattack, they decided to set their current plan to eliminate the opponent's navy.

Liao Town is one of the nine border towns in the Ming Dynasty and the most important border town.

Wang Yangming, a strange man of that year, made an argument, that is: Liaozhen, Jizhen, Xuanfu, and Datong, if you lose a great Ming Dynasty, you will die.

Now the Ming Dynasty is only left in Ningyuan, and one or two small cities in Jinzhou are outside the pass, and there are only some military presences. As a barrier for them to defend Shanhaiguan, it can be said that in a broad sense, Liaozhen is already lost.

This vast exterior is already the world where Jiannu’s iron cavalry gallops.

Being able to capture a small Lushunkou will probably attract a fierce counterattack from the opponent. Such a counterattack is impossible for the Liu family army to defend, and there is no need to defend it, at least for the time being.

So they began to deploy his military operations.

In November of the seventh year of Suozhen, the governor of Laizhou, Liu Yuanqiao, wrote a letter to the governor of Lai, Chen Yingyuan, pointing out that the navy troops stationed in Lushunkou of Jiannu were eyeing them, like thorns in their throats, like thorns in flesh, wolves looked at the south, and the coast of Laizhou, and were as dangerous as eggs. They begged the court to send a navy troops to wipe it out.

But the request was put on hold when Chen Yingyuan was left alone. He had no water power at his hands now. If he had enough sailors to attack Li Shunkou, he would have gone long ago. What are you waiting for here? Don't he know how threatening the navy deployed by Jiannu in Lushunkou would be to them?

The threat was so great that he was the governor of Delai that he was redundant.

Originally, the imperial court set up a governor of Denglai, hoping to control the power of the three eastern prefectures, support Liao Town's operations, and transport troops, horses, and food. Now it has basically lost this role. In turn, they are facing the threat of Jiannu, so the imperial court has always had a suggestion, which is to demand the removal of Denglai Town.

It can be said in another way that if he had the ability and had the power to destroy the rebel fleet in Lushunkou, he would have gone long ago. As long as he destroyed the other party, he, the governor of Denglai, could basically do it, at least the court would not think that they were the same as unnecessary things.

Chen Yingyuan originally thought that Liu Yuanqiao was making things difficult for him, but was revenge on him. Chen Yingyuan pushed a large number of refugees to Laizhou and suppressed the heavy responsibility of disaster relief on his revenge. Because Liu Yuan not only wrote a letter to him, but also directly wrote a letter to the court.

When he reached these memorials, he had no choice but to throw them aside, but the imperial court's Ministry of War highly appreciated them and thought that their proposal was very appropriate and that they should do it like this.

Because Jiannu's navy was established on the basis of the Ming rebels, the Qing Dynasty was basically composed of the original Denglai navy of the Ming Dynasty. The court regarded it as a shame and a thorn in its side. If they could be destroyed, the court would agree very much.

Zhang Fengyi, Minister of War, saw the local letter, basically had no hesitation and agreed immediately, and also transferred to the cabinet. Finally, the Ministry of War and the cabinet issued an order to Denglai Town, restricting them from waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity to annihilate the Jiannu Navy.

Jiannu had never had a navy. Now that they had a navy, they would grow bigger at any time, and they would become more powerful in the end. In fact, they were almost more powerful now. Even they were far away in the capital, they heard Kong Youde's suggestion, and encouraged Huang Taiji to cross the sea to attack the Denglai area, cut off the canal, and encircle the Ming capital from behind.

The order from the Ministry of War returned to Denglai Town, Chen Yingyuan turned his head white. He hated Liu Yuanqiao to death. If he didn't have such a big head, why did he have such a big hat? Now the court has assigned him to do it. What should he do?

However, just when Chen Yingyuan was so angry that he hated Chen Yingyuan, Liu Yuanqiao visited Chen Yingyuan again. This time, he was wearing an official uniform, sitting on the eight-carrying bridge, and carrying a full set of ceremonial guards, and did not dispatch more than 200 tough knights like last time, who were arrogant and domineering.

After both of them met, Chen Yingyuan said, "Mr. Liu, you have caused me a lot of trouble."

Liu Yuanqiao said: "The rebel navy deployed by Jiannu in Lushunkou is a very threatening threat to the entire Denglai Town, like a thorn in the throat, and it will not vomit quickly. If this enemy is not eliminated, we will face the opponent's surprise attack at any time and will not even sleep well."

Chen Yingyuan said: "I know this problem too, but look at the power of the Dengzhou Navy, it has no ability to organize a counterattack, and they are not opponents of the rebel navy."

Liu Zhuanqiao said: "Mr. Chen, this is yours. Since the local power cannot be fought against, why not ask the court for support? The court is in the south, but it has a strong navy power."

Chen Yingyuan said, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean by saying it, I know that you have a plan."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "Fujian Coastal Defense Guerrilla General Zheng Zhibao is the relative of the officials. He is also full of the desire to serve the country and is willing to share the worries of the court. He also has a fleet in his hand. If the court orders, he can lead the fleet north to strengthen the coastal defense strength of Laideng Town, and also defend the northern coastal border of the Ming Dynasty and eliminate this rebel navy."

Chen Yingyuan said, "With that being said, will the Fujian Governor release people?"

Navy masters are the lifeblood of places. Where will they be willing to let go?

Liu Yuanqiao said, "Of course, Minfu will not allow it, but as long as you write a letter to the court and the court orders General Zheng to transfer north, he will immediately lead his fleet to the north. His fleet belongs to Zheng's private individuals, and Minfu can't take care of his part because this is a semi-private military force."

Chen Yingyuan was very happy when he heard this, but he knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so he asked, "What do you have to ask?"

Liu Yuanqiao said, "The current general of Dengzhou, Gao Ruowang, is mediocre and incompetent, and is ruthless. He has no courage and no general, and has no plan to be a general. He has no position and is stolen from the Biao camp. If the adults can appoint the guerrilla general Zheng Zhibao as the general of Dengzhou, he will naturally lead his own fleet to the north to serve the court and the adults."

Chen Yingyuan immediately thought about coming over.

It turned out that the other party was interested in the position of general of Dengzhou. Dengzhou actually had a naval division, and the naval division was also under the jurisdiction of general of Dengzhou. However, the highest organization of the naval division in Dengzhou was guerrilla. He died in the Wuqiao mutiny, and his subordinates also followed the rebels and escaped to the opposite Bohai Sea to surrender to Jiannu.

He immediately realized that Liu Yuanqiao was very treacherous and smart. As a result, Denglai's military power basically fell into the hands of their Liu Zheng family.

He is the prefect of Laizhou, his in-laws are the general of Dengzhou, and he is the strongest here.

If they were allowed to struggle for a few more days, the entire Denglai Town would become their family. However, Chen Yingyuan had to consider one thing, that is, the court is now in a row, and the governor of Denglai was redundant, and the call for him to be removed is very high. If they made some achievements, the other party would probably think so.
