Smuggling Daming

Chapter 526 Liaodong Situation

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhou Zhong was reviewing official documents from Liaodong. Speaking of the situation in Liaodong, the situation during this period has changed dramatically. After Li Anliang led an army of [-] Japanese servants to destroy Jianzhou Jurchen, it happened that When winter came, they spent the winter in the old lairs of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and about one-third of the Jianzhou Jurchens were forced by them to escape to the mountains in winter to save their lives.

When the spring of the next year began, Li Anliang did not forget those Jurchens who fled into the mountains, so he divided his army into several ways to search, and finally let him find most of the Jurchens who fled to the mountains, but most of these Jurchens were Death due to cold and lack of food, and even cannibalism in some places, can be said to be very miserable, but Li Anliang, who bears the hatred of the country and the family, has no mercy, and still orders these remaining Jianzhou Jurchen Annihilation, since then, the title of Jianzhou Jurchen no longer exists in the world.

After annihilating the Jianzhou Jurchen, Li Anliang immediately moved his army eastward and began to attack the wild Jurchen territory. At the same time, North Korea also organized an army, so the two Ming armies began to attack the wild Jurchen from east and west. Under such circumstances, the savage Jurchens naturally would not stand still, and the various tribes also began to organize coalition forces, preparing to resist Ming's pincer attack.

At the beginning of the war, the savage Jurchen relied on their tough habits and knowledge of the mountains and forests to gain the upper hand. Both Li Anliang and the North Korean army suffered certain losses, but as time went by, the savage Jurchen suddenly lost their combat effectiveness. , and even some wild Jurchens escaped on the battlefield.

For this situation, Li Anliang and the North Korean generals are not surprised.Even before they started the war, they had expected that the main reason for this happening was the savage Jurchen themselves. These savage Jurchens were not like Jianzhou Jurchen and Haixi Jurchen who knew how to plant. Knowing how to grow crops, this also makes their tribe basically have no food reserves. In addition, as soon as spring began, Li Anliang and the North Korean army came to kill them.The food stored by the savage Jurchen was also exhausted in the winter, and there was no time to replenish it.

It can be said that the wild Jurchens basically didn't bring much food except for the weapons in their hands. It's not that they didn't want to bring it, but the tribe behind them had no food at all.In the past, when they were hungry, they would take weapons and rush into North Korea to rob.There is enough food for them to eat, but now the war is taking place in the territory of the savage Jurchen, and these savage Jurchen are getting poorer one by one, which makes them have nowhere to grab, so when the food they brought is exhausted, the savage Jurchen's combat power was naturally greatly reduced.There was even a case of fleeing.

Li Anliang and the others were waiting for this opportunity, otherwise they wouldn't have waited until spring to launch an attack.Therefore, when the wild Jurchen's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced due to lack of food, they were immediately defeated by Li Anliang and the North Korean army, and then these two armies broke into the territory of the wild Jurchen, killing and arson. As long as they met their Jurchen , absolutely cannot escape their poisonous hands.

At the same time when Li Anliang and the North Korean army encircled and suppressed the savage Jurchen, Zhengde, who had rested in Daning for a whole winter, finally started to act.He assembled the [-] fire dragon cavalry that had initially formed combat effectiveness, and personally served as the commander of the cavalry.Then, at the fastest speed, he rushed towards Funingwei, the last remaining of the three guards of Duoyan.

Previously, Funing Guard had always been worried that Daming would attack them directly after destroying Duoyan Guard and Taining Guard, but he did not expect that Daming's army would stay in Daning all the time, and had no intention of going north at all. Ning Wei was also slowly relieved, thinking that Da Ming's main targets this time were only Duoyan Wei and Tai Ning Wei, and as for himself in the north, he was not included in Da Ming's crusade.

However, Funingwei never expected that the Ming army, who had stayed in Daning for half a year, would suddenly attack them, and there would be [-] cavalry when they were dispatched. , even the little Tatar prince may have to fight the enemy with all his strength, and whoever wins and who loses is still in doubt.

In addition, Funingwei is also facing the same problem as the savage Jurchen. Life on the grassland is also very difficult, especially food is not enough at all times. After a winter of consumption, Funingwei also lacks food, and spring The grassland is the most important season. They have to shear off the heavy wool from the sheep, and then they have to deliver the ewes. The tribes on the top don't think about it for a whole year.

But at this critical moment, Daming's cavalry suddenly arrived, which forced Funingwei to give up his work and pick up weapons and ride horses to defend his tribe.In fact, what the grassland people don't know is that this is the advantage of professional troops over non-professional troops. Ming's troops don't need to be distracted by other things. Their mission is only one, and that is to obey the orders of their superiors and defeat all enemies.

Of course, there will be many difficulties in sending troops in spring. For example, the melting of ice and snow in winter makes the roads very muddy, which brings many difficulties to the logistical supply of the army. In addition, the weather in spring is also very changeable. In the cold spring and another snowfall, the army is likely to suffer some casualties.However, it is impossible to be sure of anything, especially for war, as long as one can achieve one's own goals, it is worth taking some risks.

Risks and benefits are directly proportional. When Daming's army appeared in the south of Funingwei's tribe, Funingwei only hurriedly organized an army of more than 1 people, and was not ready for a big war at all.Even taking a step back, even if Funingwei knew the news in advance and organized the entire clan's army, let alone whether they could win in the end, these prairie cavalry not only could not help the tribe to work during the war, At the same time, a large amount of food was consumed. Even if they were able to repel Daming's army, the entire Funingwei would collapse in the end, because as long as there was no food, no tribe could survive.

What's even worse is that the Jianzhou Jurchen on the east side of Funingwei has been wiped out by Daming, and Daming's army can attack from the east at any time, and they will have absolutely no chance of winning when they are flanked by Zhengde's army.

In this unfavorable situation, the leader of Funingwei made a very wise choice, which was to surrender to Daming, because he had no other choice at all, and he couldn't even escape if he wanted to. The cattle and sheep in the tribe needed Taking care of them, they don't have any extra food, so they can't support large-scale migration at all.

The surrender of Funingwei was not beyond Zhengde's expectations. Even his entire battle plan was carefully calculated by a group of students who graduated from the General Staff Department of the military academy. Responses are also taken into consideration, so now Da Ming's army is like a precision machine, every step has been calculated in advance, even if there is an accident, there are remedies.

After Funingwei surrendered, Zhengde immediately mobilized the officials and food prepared from the rear, and then officials from Daming officially took over the management of Funingwei. Under the command of Zhengde, the Haixi Jurchen was immediately dispatched.

The place where the Haixi Jurchen lives is located in the northeast of Funingwei. The distance between the two is not very far, and although the Haixi Jurchen is far from Daming, they are more willing to learn the advanced culture of Ming. Not only can the tribe grow crops, At the same time, it can also smelt steel. It can be said that it is the fastest-growing one among the three Jurchens, and it is also the strongest.

However, although Haixi Jurchen's strength is strong, they are only among the Jurchen. In comparison, their strength is similar to that of the previous Duoyanwei, so when facing the [-] cavalrymen of Ming Dynasty, they have nothing at all. What is the strength to fight back, the tens of thousands of troops organized by the leaders of Haixi Jurchen were defeated one after another, and finally completely defeated.

Regarding the Jurchens, Daming did not have any good feelings towards them, whether it was the Jianzhou Jurchens or the Haixi Jurchens, so Zhengde also implemented a cruel policy of slaughtering them, but the one who entertained the massacre was Funingwei who had just surrendered. Let them show their loyalty to Daming, and secondly, it is to deter Funingwei and let them know what will happen if they don't want to surrender to Daming.

After destroying the Haixi Jurchen, Zhengde commanded the army to turn to the east, which is the territory of the Savage Jurchen. Speaking of which, the Savage Jurchen is just a collective name. All the Jurchen that do not belong to the Jianzhou Jurchen and the Haixi Jurchen belong to the Savage Jurchen. The savage Jurchens that Li Anliang and North Korea attacked were only located in the south and closer to Ming Dynasty. In addition, further north, especially on the Sakhalin Island, there will be more savage Jurchens, but it is too cold there. It is of little value to come down, so Zhengde only needs to wipe out all the Jurchens in Liaodong.

Zhengde's fire dragon cavalry, Li Anliang's servant army, and the army organized by North Korea, the three Ming armies swept through Liaodong several times like a comb, and finally cleaned up the remaining Jurchens. In the future, even if Daming is not around I am afraid that the Jurchens will not be able to form a big climate by stationing troops here, not to mention that Daming will never give up the land of Liaodong.

After cleaning up Liaodong, Zhengde's fire dragon cavalry has finally been integrated after this training and has become a real cavalry team. Zhou Zhong, who had already been prepared, also gave the greatest support. He not only increased his efforts to purchase wool and other commodities on the grassland, but also sent out road construction teams to start building concrete roads leading to the depths of the grassland.
