As for Yan Yingyuan, after completing the reorganization of the Fujian Navy, he returned to the Nanjing Navy in accordance with the original requirements of the imperial edict, bringing with him his two years of naval experience in Fujian.
At this point, the Ming Dynasty had a total of six regular navies, including the Dongjiang Navy, the Nanjing Navy, and four navies reorganized from the Fujian Navy. With a total of more than 4,000 large and small warships, and more than 250,000 naval officers and soldiers.
Among them, the four navies reorganized from the Fujian Navy have basically taken shape in scale. Although new ships are added every year, there are only about four or five ships.
The Nanjing Navy and the Dongjiang Navy were still expanding rapidly. Due to the strong support of the imperial court, more than 20 warships were added to each of them every year.
In addition to memorials concerning the navy, Emperor Chongzhen also had memorials sent from the capital, which mainly reported several matters.
