Does Jiannu have a navy?

There is no clear record of this in history books.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because they are embarrassed to record it.

In history, their navy commander Liu Aita was persuaded to surrender by Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai. Moreover, Liu Aita was Nurhaci's most beloved son-in-law. Do they have the nerve to record it?

In fact, there are very few records of Yuan Keli in the Ming Dynasty. Even the historical materials about Yuan Keli are vague in the "Ming Shilu", and the "Ming History" are just a few words, and there is no biography at all.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple, because neither side wants the story of this person to be passed on.

Jiannu's side was because Yuan Keli made them lose face and even almost capsized in the gutter. They naturally didn't want to record such things that made them look disgraceful in history books.

On the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch party in power did not have the face to record Yuan Keli's affairs, because they almost reversed the country's destiny and overthrew the Jiannu and investigated it, and also caused the murder of the four guards in the south. If they recorded these records, wouldn't they be scolded by later generations?

Therefore, most of Yuan Keli's deeds were passed down from unofficial history and even biography novels. In the official history, he seemed to be a plain little person, and he mentioned it in one sentence, including Liu Aita.

In fact, Jiannu really had a navy at this moment, and the number and scale even exceeded the Denglai Navy led by Yuan Keli at this time. Because the Gaizhou Guard, Fuzhou Guard and Jinzhou Guard are all coastal defense centers like Zhenhai Guards, and they are also coastal defense centers in Liaodong Bian Town, and the number of warships must be much more than that in Denglai Water City.

However, there are not many naval warships appearing in the middle of the battlefield at this time, with only about one hundred ships, and most of them are warships rowing like centipedes.

Because if sailboats want to go upstream without strong winds, they must pull in piles of boatmen. It is obviously impossible for the boatman to pull hundreds of sailboats from the mouth of the Daling River to pull here for more than a hundred li. Therefore, only centipede boats, fire dragon boats, wheel boats and other warships rowing by manpower are only warships.

Moreover, these warships seem to have been baptized by a lot of arrow rain. Not only are there many arrows inserted into the tent, but there are even traces of fire in some places.

Obviously, they were attacked when they passed by Ma Shilong's defense zone, and they were attacked more than once.

At this time, the archers under Man Gui were almost exhausted from pulling the bow, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his hand, "Rockets are ready!"

There was no way, he couldn't watch these warships carrying infantrymen coming to fuck them!

"Swoosh swosh swosh swosh", thousands of archers barely shot out a rocket with all their strength.

"Aggressive", hundreds of warships on the opposite side were more or less hit.

Unfortunately, rockets alone cannot burn the warships because they will put out the fire.

Soon, many sailors holding shields, wet cloths, and even buckets surged out of the cabin. In a short while, all the rockets on the ship were destroyed.

Seeing this, Man Gui slapped his thigh in annoyance, and then shouted: "Send an order to order Zhao Ruijiao to quickly send 10,000 spearmen."

"Dadada", a guard who had a tyrant flag on his back suddenly rushed forward and headed straight for Guangning.

There is no way, he must be unable to withstand this little man. I don’t know how many Jiannu is opposite.

Fortunately, these man-made warships were not very big, and the largest wheel boat could carry only twenty or thirty people. The others were basically crowded and could squeeze out more than ten people.

In other words, more than one hundred warships can carry up to two or three thousand people in one trip, so it is not a problem for him to hold a few waves.

Soon, Li Yongfang commanded two or three thousand people to swarm onto the warship. A slogan sounded, and hundreds of warships rowed towards the opposite shore.

Of course, they did not row at the river embankment defended by Mangui. Even if they rowed directly to this side, the boat would be pushed downstream by the current. Therefore, when more than a hundred boats rowed over, they had already moved to the south nearly a mile away.

This is also the reason why Li Yongfang dared to let two or three thousand subordinates rush over like this, because the first group would not immediately take the fight, and he still had the opportunity to continue sending the second group of people across the river.

If two or three thousand people are rushing towards tens of thousands of people, then won’t you seek death?

Seeing this, Man Gui frowned slightly and ordered the general Sun Zushou to lead 5,000 archers and 2,000 sword shields to guard the place, while he headed straight downstream with three,000 sword shields.

"Kill!"

Fang Qi shouted to kill people here, and hundreds of warships over there had left the river bank and tried hard to pick up people upstream.

Man Gui led the way and slashed and killed people, and soon gained the upper hand. When the first two or three thousand people who came ashore saw that they could not control the enemy, they actually rushed south!

This time, Man Gui was so depressed that he was very depressed. He might be trying to lure his tiger away from the mountain!

In desperation, he had no choice but to abandon the defeated troops and return to his original garrison.

Less than an hour later, two or three thousand people were sent over from the other side. Man Gui had to continue to activate three thousand swords and shield hands, and rushed to the south and killed them fiercely. As a result, the people continued to flee south again!

It is obvious that the opponent wants to gather troops through this method.

He had no choice but to take people back and forth, because he could not leave the place where the floating bridge was built. If he left too far, the enemy might have occupied this place when he came back.

After several trips, as the evening approached, more than 10,000 people under Li Yongfang actually arrived at the west bank of the Daling River, and set up camp ten miles away from Mangui's garrison.

I have to say that this guy is quite a thief.

His pull not only made Man Gui run back and forth with his men and horses, panting, but also stood firm on the West Bank with the smallest loss.

Perhaps, he wanted to assemble more than 10,000 subordinates the next morning to disperse the less than 10,000 people left under Man Gui.

Who knew that not long after, tens of thousands of people rushed towards Guangning in the direction of the night!

At this moment, he had no choice but to order people to take a boat to the other side to ask Nurhaci for help. He had less than 15,000 men under his command, and he would definitely not be able to beat the other side's nearly 20,000 men.

Fortunately, the river channel is still under the control of their warships at this moment, otherwise his more than 10,000 troops would be in danger.

By the way, Nurhaci had all transferred the naval warships of the South Four Guards under Liu Aita to support him. Why didn't Sun Chengzong transfer Yuan Keli's Denglai Naval Warships to support him? Didn't he expect Jiannu to have a naval warship?

He naturally thought of this, but he could not transfer the Denglai Navy warships under Yuan Keli to support him.

Because the number of warships in the Denglai Navy is not as large as that of the Nansi Navy Navy. Moreover, when the wind direction is wrong, the sailboats cannot cross the sea to support them. The warships rowed by manpower are generally small boats. If there is no protection of large sailboats at the sea, they may be wiped out if they encounter any wind and waves.

In other words, even if he transferred Yuan Keli's naval warships to support him, he might be surrounded and beaten by the Nansi Navy warships, or the sailing ships could not pass by, and only hundreds of small boats came, and even hundreds of small boats could be overturned by the waves.

There is no way. When the warships of the South Four Guards were still under the control of Jiannu, the Denglai Navy could not beat the Navy of the South Four Guards. They could only send some food and grass to Shanhaiguan or Ningyuan when the wind was west. If they really went north and crossed the sea to fight with the Navy of the South Four Guards, then they might have fought all the navy warships.

This is how it is in history. Yuan Keli did not dare to lead his army to fight across the sea before he persuaded Liu Aita. He could only slowly advance towards Jinzhou through a series of islands between Dengzhou and Jinzhou.

Before Liu Aita surrendered, Sun Chengzong could not have let Yuan Keli lead the Denglai Navy to die.
