Smuggling Daming

Zhengde's sneak attack this time was fully prepared, and one ring after another. When Huadang was driven out of the barracks by artillery, he fell into an ambush by the Ming army. His own side suffered heavy casualties, and when it was dawn, Huadang realized that after the melee in the middle of the night, nearly one-third of his cavalry had been lost, and the rest were all wounded, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The Ming army is full of energy, because Daming has twice as many people as them, and the injured have been replaced long ago.

At this time, Huadang was already exhausted, and after dawn, the possible loopholes in the Ming army's encirclement had been filled, so if he wanted to rush out again, he basically had no chance, even as long as Zhengde If you work harder, you can wipe out all the troops of Duoyanwei.

With no hope of escape, Huadang once again made a decision to surrender to Zhengde. Anyway, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, and they have tried their best. If they continue to fight, they will only die in battle. There is one way to go, and in the law of survival of grassland people, as long as people are still alive, there is still hope for everything, so for Huadang now, the most important thing now is how to save his life.

For Huadang's decisive choice to surrender, Zhengde was a little puzzled at the beginning. After all, Huadang had shown a posture of wanting to fight with them before, but now he was only surrounded, and there were nearly [-] cavalry in the opponent's hands. , may not be without a fight, so in Zhengde's view, Huadang is far from hopeless.But the other party unexpectedly surrendered, which made him unable to figure it out anyway.

But soon Jiang Bin helped Zhengde explain the survival rules of grassland people, and for a tribe leader like Huadang, if his cavalry suffered serious losses, even if he could escape, he would definitely be punished by the tribe. He even lost his position as the leader of the tribe, and other tribes around him would stare at them, so Huadang could not afford to lose.In this situation, the only option is to surrender.

Knowing Huadang's wishful thinking, Zhengde quickly figured out a countermeasure. He personally received the envoy sent by Huadang to discuss surrender, and then personally promised to the other party that as long as Huadang asked the troops to lay down their weapons, everything would follow Daming's arrangements.Then I can guarantee the safety of their tribal leaders, and even reward them with an official position.

Huadang was naturally very excited when he learned that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming had promised himself, and he also knew that Daming's real goal was the little Tatar prince, not his own small tribe in Liaodong.Even if Daming wanted to conquer the grassland, he might have to rely on his own strength.So after thinking about it for nearly a day, he finally decided to surrender to Daming. All the Duoyan Guard soldiers put down their weapons and even handed over their horses to Daming.

After accepting Duoyanwei's surrender, Zhengde did not contradict his promise as he said before, but really guaranteed the safety of Huadang and other Duoyan chieftains.They were even granted an official position in Ming Dynasty, but Huadang never expected that.They, Duoyan headmen, are all going to live in Beijing, and without the order of the Ming emperor, they will never be able to return to the grassland.It wasn't until this time that Hua Dang realized that he had been fooled by Emperor Zhengde. He wanted to treat himself as a puppet and completely remove himself from the Duoyan Guard, and after arriving in the capital, he had to behave like a dog with his tail between his legs. , It is no longer the prairie eagle that crosses Liaodong.

It's a pity that it's too late to understand at this time, Duoyanwei's cavalry has been disarmed by Daming, and they don't even have horses. If they show dissatisfaction and resistance at this time, it will only lead to the massacre of Daming. The army will be so benevolent, these frontier soldiers have always been very brutal when they killed the prairie people.

People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Although Huadang was very angry in his heart, he had no choice but to take his family and the leaders of Duoyanwei to Beijing under the escort of a Ming army. City, where Zhou Zhong had built a luxurious prison for them, and once they entered, they would never want to come out again.

With Duoyanwei's surrender, the Liaodong Army and Li Anliang's Japanese servant army also fought smoothly against Tainingwei. Tainingwei was originally the weakest of the three Duoyanweis, and the number of troops they faced was relatively small. Duoyanwei had [-] more, which made Tainingwei dare not fight the Ming army head-on, so he could only send out a group of rangers to fight, using this method to hold back the footsteps of the Ming army, and then put his own The tribe moved to the direction of Daning where Duoyanwei was located. After all, in their opinion, instead of spreading their forces to deal with Daming's army, it would be better to join forces with Duoyanwei. Maybe one of the Ming troops could be repelled.

But it is a pity that before Tainingwei came and reunited with Duoyanwei, he received the news that Duoyanwei surrendered to Daming. As a result, Tainingwei also made the decision to surrender almost at the same time. Speaking of which, their strength is not worse than Duoyanwei at 01:30. Even Duoyanwei surrendered, and their Tainingwei naturally have no other choice.

Two of Duoyan's three guards have surrendered one after another, and now the northernmost Funing Guard has not responded. Speaking of which, Funing Guard and Duoyan Guard had some disagreements at the beginning, and there have been several internal fights between the two sides, just because of Funing Guard The strength is insufficient, so they can only stay at the northernmost end of the three guards. The conditions are relatively poor in comparison, and the communication with Daming is also the least. This time when Daming attacked Duoyan Guard and Taining Guard, Funing Guard has been There was no reaction. Now that the two guards surrendered, Funingwei was still on the sidelines. It seemed that there was still some luck.

As for Funingwei's plan, Zhengde also guessed it, but he didn't plan to use troops this time, but stationed the army in Daning. The population of the land has been digested, especially the middle-aged men in the two guards. As long as they are rectified a little, they can form a good Mongolian cavalry. This is also one of the original intentions when they decided to attack the three guards of Duoyan. It is necessary to have a large-scale cavalry, and the training of the Han cavalry not only takes time, but also consumes huge financial and material resources, so these Mongolian cavalry become a cheap choice, coupled with the original Daming cavalry. Such cavalry is enough for Ming to use.

However, in order to ensure the loyalty of the Mongolian cavalry in this cavalry, it is not enough to just mix the Han and Mongolian cavalry. In addition, the Mongolian tribes of Duoyan and Taining Second Guards will also be completely included in the rule of Ming Dynasty, such as Zhengde. Build fortresses and cement roads in the Liaodong area, and then relocate Han people from Hebei to settle down. In addition, there are merchants from Ming Dynasty who also rushed to order wool. Closely combined, in the future when the cavalry of the two guards go out to fight, their families are in the hands of Daming, so naturally they dare not easily give birth to two hearts.

It will naturally take some time to completely digest the two guards of Duoyan and Taining, but Zhengde doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. The army is all stationed in the Daning area, and they practice continuously every day. The Mongolian cavalry of Ning Liangwei and Han Chinese cavalry were mixed together for some adaptive training. Although there were still problems of one kind or another, overall it was developing in a good direction.

For the stagnant actions of the Ming army, the Funing Guard in the north finally breathed a sigh of relief. From the current indications, the military targets of Daming this time should only be the two guards of Duoyan and Taining. Being next to Daming, they usually have the most contact with Daming, but they are also the ones who go south to loot every time. Funingwei is a little far away from Daming, so it is difficult to go south. Maybe this is the reason why Daming didn’t respond. They, Funingwei, made a move.

However, Funing Guard is obviously a little too optimistic. What they don't know is that when Zhengde was busy digesting Duoyan and Taining's second guard, the [-] servant army led by Li Anliang and the [-] Xuanfu frontier army quietly Leaving Daning, passing through Guangning and the original capital of Liaodong, heading northeast all the way, the target is directly at the Jurchen tribe located in the east of Funingwei. If the Ming Dynasty also conquers the Jurchen tribe, then Funingwei will face enemies on both sides. If it does not want to surrender at that time, it will have to move north.

As autumn deepens, the Liaodong Plain has become very cold, the leaves on the trees are slowly falling, and the weeds on the ground have also turned golden yellow. Animals are also scrambling to store food and fat for the last time They can survive this severe winter safely, but some animals are very unlucky this year, because when an army of tens of thousands of people passes through their habitat, many of these animals cannot escape the poisonous hands of the army and become special reinforcements in the army. meal.

Li Anliang took his [-] Japanese servants to the forefront. In the previous war against Taining Guards, they had no large-scale contact with Taining Guards. A small group of Taining cavalry was also intercepted and killed by Liaodong cavalry. , so his servants have almost no chance of killing the enemy, which also makes these servants still maintain a complete establishment.

But this is also what Li Anliang wants to see. After all, when he returns to Liaodong this time, the main enemies are those barbaric Jurchens, and at the same time, they are also sworn enemies who slaughtered their entire family. He has been waiting for this chance of revenge. After many years, he even paid a lot for this, and now he has finally waited for this opportunity, so he must maintain the maximum combat power of his servant army, only in this way can he avenge his family members who died tragically back then!
