Smuggling Daming

There are many ways to eliminate a nation, but in general, there are only two, one is spiritually, the other is physically, and the first method is very troublesome to operate, especially in the Ming Dynasty. In this age, the Ming Dynasty mostly used the second method to eliminate a nation in its foreign wars.

To eliminate a nation physically, this method generally requires paying a certain price, but it is also the simplest and most effective. For example, the method currently implemented by Li Anliang against the Jurchens is to eliminate the Jurchens physically. When there is a village, they will order a massacre of the Jurchens in the village. For them, the best Jurchens are dead Jurchens.

It took Li Anliang eight days to clean up the Jianzhou Right Guard. As long as there were no Jurchens who escaped, they were all slaughtered by him. Among them, there were quite a few Jurchens from the Jianzhou Left Guard who fled here. , and then in the center of the plain where the Jurchens lived, Li Anliang used the heads of the Jurchens to build a huge Jingguan again.

Next, Li Anliang didn't stop there, and dispatched the last Jianzhou Guards again, but at this time, the Jianzhou Guards had already learned about the massacre policy of the Ming army against the Jurchens from some of the left and right Jurchens who had fled to them. , This also made Jianzhou Wei Da frightened. With their strength, they will definitely not be able to defend, and I am afraid they will end up in the same end as Jianzhou Youwei in the end. But if they escape, with the cruel winter in Liaodong, In the end, very few people survived.

Jianzhouwei faced a dilemma. No matter which one they chose, they would pay a huge price. However, after careful consideration, Jianzhouwei still decided to choose to escape into the mountains.However, there is still a chance of escaping into the mountains, so under such circumstances, the Jurchens of Jianzhouwei finally made a difficult decision, that is, to enter the mountains before the arrival of the Ming army.And also spend a cold winter in the mountains.

It is precisely because of this.So when Li Anliang led the army to the settlement of Jianzhouwei, what he saw was an empty village.However, for this situation, Li Anliang and the others had already expected it. After all, the Jurchens were not fools, and they knew that staying was a dead end.Naturally, they will look for other ways out, and fleeing into the mountains is their only way out.

Li Anliang led an army to the residential area of ​​Jianzhouwei and saw the empty village. He immediately asked people to check the route of the Jurchens to enter the mountain. After all, the mountains in Liaodong were all covered by forests, where tigers, Black bears, wild boars and other ferocious beasts, so the Jurchen's route into the mountains must be carefully chosen, instead of breaking into the mountains at will.Otherwise, it is not fleeing, but directly entering the mountains to die.

After the people sent out found out the Jurchen's route into the mountain, Li Anliang couldn't help having a headache because the other party was actually divided into five groups.Drilling into the forest from five directions was also the Jurchen's way to prevent them from following and chasing after them. After all, Li Anliang and the others were not familiar with the mountains and forests in Liaodong, which made him dare not divide his troops to pursue them.

However, for the current situation, Li Anliang and the others had anticipated in advance, and they had already made speculations in advance. According to their estimation, the Jurchens entered the mountain in several ways, on the one hand to prevent them from chasing, and on the other hand to Increase the hope of some tribes surviving. After all, the environment in the mountains is harsh, especially in winter. Not only is it difficult to find food, but also when there is heavy snowfall, the mountains and forests will be completely isolated from the outside world. At that time, they will be in the mountains. Staying for a whole winter, coupled with the severe cold in winter, if they fail to find a safe and warm place to live, I am afraid that they will all freeze to death in the mountains, and dividing them into several parts will increase their chances of survival.

Even the Jurchens who are familiar with the mountains have to make the above preparations before entering the mountains in winter, let alone Li Anliang and the Ming army, so no matter how much Li Anliang hates the Jurchens, he dare not kill all the troops under his command. He took them to the mountains to die, but began to divide his troops to garrison the villages of Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Right Guards. As for the villages of Jianzhou Left Guards, he set fire to them to prevent those Jurchens from coming out of the mountains to use them.

Just when Li Anliang was planning to settle down in the territory of the Jurchens to spend the cold winter, at the Daningwei in the southwest of them, Zhengde was also preparing for the army to spend the winter.

Speaking of which, since Zhengde conquered Duoyanwei and Tainingwei, he has been staying in Daning and not moving. On the one hand, it is to sit in Liaodong, so that there will be no changes in the newly recovered southeastern part of Liaodong. On the other hand, Zhengde is also speeding up time Integrating the cavalry of Duoyan and Taining guards was one of the main reasons why he attacked Liaodong in the first place.

Huadang, the leaders of these Duoyan Guards and Tai Ning Guards have been sent to the capital by Zhengde to imprison them, and the remaining ordinary shepherds have also been formally accepted by Zhengde as the subjects of Daming, and merchants are also allowed to enter Liaodong to buy wool and other goods from the shepherds As a result, these shepherds quickly tasted the sweetness from it, and also got used to the changes that Daming products brought to their lives, which made their connection with Daming even closer. If they want to maintain their current standard of living, It can only live by relying on Daming, otherwise it can only return to the original living environment without any protection.

With the return of the two Mongols, Duoyanwei and Tainingwei, Zhengde's integration of the Mongolian cavalry has also entered a critical stage. He gathered all the adult men from the two divisions, removing those who were too old or too young. As well as men whose physical conditions are not suitable, the rest will get a total of 3000 people. These 3 people will be the main cavalry of Ming Dynasty to fight against Mongolia in the future.

However, Daming has always held a skeptical attitude towards foreign races. Even if he is convinced that the cavalry of Duoyan and Taining will not dare to rebel, Zhengde is still worried, so Zhengde selected 7000 soldiers from Daming's frontier army. The Han Chinese, combined them with more than 3 Mongolian cavalry to form a huge cavalry of 6 people, and began to practice every day. Each of those excellent Mongolian cavalry led a Han cavalry, so that the Han cavalry could improve as soon as possible. Shooting technology, and strive to let this cavalry form combat power as soon as possible.

In addition, in order to ensure the absolute rule of Ming Dynasty over this cavalry, Zhengde plans to replace all the officers of this cavalry with students who graduated from the cavalry department of the military academy. It was not enough at all. In the end, Zhengde had to select a group of students who had not graduated from the cavalry department of the military academy. These young students would study while serving in the army. Give them diplomas.

Under the integration of Zhengde, this huge mixed cavalry of Han and Mongolia finally took shape slowly, and began intense training, and after careful consideration, Zhengde named this huge cavalry "Fire Dragon Cavalry", Daming belongs to Huode, while dragon refers to the cavalry under the command of Zhengde, the real dragon emperor. The whole army is uniformly dressed in red armor. When the horses are galloping, the whole cavalry is like a fire dragon.

However, although the Fire Dragon Knight is basically formed, there are still many internal problems. If the Fire Dragon Knight is to form a combat force, the internal problems must be solved. For example, the Mongols are born cavalry, but they are all very loose , and don’t like to be constrained by military discipline, and although the Han cavalry is used to obeying orders, they are somewhat different from the Mongols in riding and shooting, which makes the cavalry unable to form cooperation with each other, let alone fully exert the power of the cavalry.

It is precisely because of this that Zhengde has been busy solving the internal problems of the Fire Dragon Riders during this period of time. According to the characteristics of the Mongols and Han people, they have formulated corresponding training. The feelings between the Han people, even mixed Han people and Mongolians live together, and usually organize a lot of entertainment activities to deepen mutual understanding. Although the barriers between ethnic groups cannot be eliminated in a day or two, but As time goes by, they can always develop a certain relationship with each other, which is also more conducive to Daming's control over this cavalry.

Apart from training fire dragon riders, what Zhengde is most concerned about is Li Anliang's war against the Jurchens. Since Li Anliang succeeded in raiding Jianzhou Zuowei, he has sent a messenger every other day to report his war against the Jurchens in detail. Zhengde's report to Zhengde, so Zhengde also has a very good understanding of Li Anliang's actions.

In addition, Li Anliang also needs strong logistical support in the war against the Jurchens. After all, they are alone in the depths. If there is no logistical support, I am afraid that let alone a war. The daily consumption alone can wear down the entire army. .

When Li Anliang sent the results of the decisive battle between himself and the three guards of Jianzhou to Zhengde, and at the same time the heads of Fuman and others, this made Zhengde very excited, because it marked that the Jianzhou Jurchen had been completely defeated by Ming. Anliang could not completely wipe out the Jianzhou Jurchen, and this Jurchen would no longer be able to pose a threat to Daming in the future.

Moreover, after Jianzhou Jurchen was wiped out, Funingwei, the only remaining of Duoyan's three guards, faced the danger of being attacked by Ming from both sides. Whether it was the Zhengde army in the south or Li Anliang's army in the east, they could attack Funingwei at any time. Faced with this situation, as long as the leader of Funingwei still has a little brain, he can make a wise choice now.

Sure enough, Zhengde didn't wait too long. A few days later, when the news that Jianzhou Jurchen was wiped out by Daming spread throughout Liaodong, Funingwei was also scared out of his wits, and immediately sent an envoy to Daming as quickly as possible, expressing his willingness to The determination to surrender to Ming Dynasty, and how to arrange the tribe in the future?Everything is subject to Daming's decision.
