Ying Yi successfully captured the Denglai Navy Division in Dongliang Haikou. Less than three thousand old and weak, no intention of fighting, and even lacked military supplies to the warehouse, the embarrassing navy, who had no artillery shells. Facing Ying Yi's six thousand elite soldiers and generals, he surrendered without any resistance.

This disabled navy has no combat power, but what Ying Yi needs is not their combat power. No matter how strong the Ming army is, it is not as good as Ying Yi's own army. What Ying Yi wants is their ability and experience in controlling sea ships.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the old or the weak is old or weak, just be able to ride a boat.

There was almost no resistance, but there was actually a little spark. The navy gang general and hundreds of personal soldiers were cut off by Ying Yi with his fearless spirit of sacrifice.

The death of this general did not make the soldiers of the navy feel at all angry, and they wished to cheer. As the confidant commander of the navy, the governor of Denglai, Zeng Ying, he almost withheld all the food and supplies of the navy, and drank the blood of the soldiers and drank the fat belly.

This was the norm in the army in the late Ming Dynasty. The generals relied on not the army, but their family Biao Battalion. By drinking soldiers' blood, draining the oil and water of ordinary soldiers, part of the extracted money and grain was put into their pockets, and part of it was used to support the family Biao Battalion.

The so-called family camp is no longer the army of the Ming court, but the private armed forces of the generals.

The Ming court could not control the army and suffered repeated defeats was a large part of the reason. During the war, the generals naturally cherished their own private armed forces very much. When facing tough battles, they were unwilling to fight with private armed forces, and ordinary soldiers who had been squeezed out of power had no combat power. It would be strange if such a deformed army did not lose.

Ying Yi's usual method of selecting the captured Ming army was the most simple way to select it. The selection method was very simple, and the ordinary soldiers would not let go of any damn one. If the bad deeds were forgiven, they would generally be used as slave labor. Those who had no bad deeds and who had the physical and age conditions had the opportunity to be selected into Ying Yi's army.

Of course, the navy here is not the case. Those who should be killed must be killed. Those who are not bad at killing should not move for the time being, because they must be used immediately.

The selection of the navy took less than an hour. Because the generals of the gentry were extremely cruel, the middle and low-level officers below had no chance of embezzlement, so few were killed even the worst.

"The Denlai Navy's 2,700 people, of which 1,400 people were over forty-five years old."

Wang Yisheng bowed and said, "Excluding the 300 weak people, there will be a thousand people available."

Ying Yi nodded: "Where is the ship?"

"There are 103 warships in the port. Among them, thirteen large ships can ferry four hundred people. Medium-sized warships account for the majority, with more than eighty, each of which can ferry eighty to one hundred people. The rest are small boats. But among the 103 warships, only fifty are available."

Wang Yisheng said this.

The Denglai Navy was abandoned long ago. The warships were docked in Donglianghaikou for a long time and almost did not exist in maintenance. Therefore, most of the warships were damaged.

Ying Yi knew it in his heart and pondered for a moment when he heard it: "Can you cross 6,000 people to the outside of Shanhaiguan at one time?"

"It's barely possible." Wang Yisheng said: "The last general has asked the navy about this."

"Okay, it's enough to get through." Ying Yi waved his hand: "Let the soldiers and the navy be prepared. Go and call people, I have some questions to ask."

Wang Yisheng beat his chest and fists, bowed and retreated.

Soon, Wang Yisheng walked in with a middle-aged general with a thick skeleton, rough face and a low figure.

This person is the highest official title after the Denglai Navy was selected and killed.

"Little man Liu Deyi, see the master!"

Liu Deyi knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed non-stop.

Ying Yi waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

"Thank you!"

Liu Deyi hurriedly got up, looking timid.

The Ming army had long been broken. Ying Yi was often seen in the process of fighting with the Ming army, and he did not think it was offensive.

"How long does it take to go from Donglianghaikou to go north to Shanhaiguan?"

Ying Yi asked.

When Liu Deyi heard this, he said, "When you say that if the wind is good, you only need to be close to you for nine hours. If the wind is bad, you will not be able to worry about it."

He also said: "It is April now, and it is already a south windy day. If there is no rain, it will be a good wind."

"Shufeng... OK." Ying Yi nodded: "It was midnight when I asked to arrive at Shanhaiguan. How long does it take to prepare for going to sea? When will it go to sea?"

Liu Deyi thought for a moment and said carefully: "Due to the lack of military preparations, the navy has fewer training. For safety reasons, it may take some time to undergo restorative training..."

Ying Yi nodded after hearing this and thought, "Okay, let my army adapt."

Then, "How many days do you think it will take?"

Liu Deyi gritted his teeth and said, "At least...5 days, and at most seven days."

"Five to seven days?" Ying Yi thought for a while: "Yes."

Then he said, "The navy will be given to you for the command for the time being. If you make a contribution, I will never be stingy with the rewards. Go down and prepare carefully."

When Liu Deyi heard this, he was immediately excited and said, "Sir...Don't worry, lord, lord, lord will not disappoint lord!"

Ying Yi laughed: "Okay, go."

After Liu Deyi carefully withdrew, Ying Yisheng said to Wang Yisheng: "This Liu Deyi still looks a bit capable."

Wang Yisheng bowed and said, "This person is rare to have never been corrupt, and many soldiers recognized him."

Ying Yi nodded: "That's great. I've been watching these days, after all, I know people but not my heart."

Wang Yisheng understood it in his heart.

Ying Yi must have included this navy. But Ying Yi does not intend to send them to the humanitarian list immediately.

This period of restorative training is probably an inspection time. If you don’t have any trouble, you will initially include it on the humanitarian list.

"The main purpose this time is to take down Shanhaiguan."

Ying Yi said: "Only by keeping Shanhaiguan in hand can many hidden dangers be eliminated. Killing the Tartars is not important, but the important thing is to block the Tartars outside the pass."

He also said: "The Shanhaiguan Guard is Wu Sangui, who is the core figure in Guanning's front line. Only by taking him will the Guanning's front line be safe."

The military power of the Ming court in the northeast has gradually changed with the invasion of the Tartars since Wanli. During the Wanli period, in the northeast of Li Chengliang town, the wild boar Pi Nurhaci was still a slave to Li Chengliang. However, Li Chengliang gradually evolved into a warlord over the years in the northeast. So after his death, the Ming court imposed large-scale abolition restrictions on Li Chengliang's troops.

As for the rise of Liaodong generals such as Zu Dashou and replaced them to support themselves for the sake of interests, the Ming court became increasingly difficult to control due to internal problems, and finally reached an uncontrollable point.

The Liaodong generals who raised thieves and respected themselves suffered the consequences, those who died in battle died in battle, and those who surrendered to become traitors, after several major wars, only less than 100,000 troops stationed in Guanning are left.
