The reason why Chongzhen spent so much effort to win over Zheng Hongkui was entirely because in the subsequent confrontation, the role that the navy could play would be far greater than that of the ten-town frontier army.

Because in the future, Jiannu will probably not launch a strong attack.

And if it is just a long-term siege, the Ming army's biggest task is to counter the blockade.

It is wishful thinking to break the Jiannu blockade by land. At least in recent years, it is impossible for the Ming army to have the ability to fight against the Jiannu in the field and win, so supplies can only be transported by water.

The food rations for the more than one million soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City had to travel by water.

The navy led by Zheng Hongkui is the guarantee of waterway safety.

Of course, if Huang Zongxi's visit to Luoyang can persuade the puppets to send troops, the slaves will probably withdraw their troops.

If the Jiannu were really forced to retreat, the navy would have to shoulder the important task of dividing, delaying or even harassing the Jiannu. At least the Jiannu stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River could not allow them to return north easily.

Therefore, no matter whether the Jiannu retreats or the confrontation lasts for a long time,

The navy will play a decisive role, so the Holy One is so courteous.

The truth is this: these naval officers and soldiers are not scholars. The scholar battalion can fight for ideals, but these naval officers and soldiers have no ideals.

It is useless to tell them about the ancestral temple, the community and the common people.

There is no use telling them about their parents, wife and children. Their parents, wife and children are in Fujian.
