The Tartars have no future, or in other words, no hope for the future.  An internal split will undoubtedly greatly accelerate the process of its demise, and the harsh living environment in the Northeast is also a difficulty for the Tartars.  The slaves who were beaten back to the state of fishing and hunting can now only live on and count the days.  Zhuo Butai and Dafu led their troops towards Ninggu Pagoda, and the lost territory in Liaodong was recovered one after another during the armed march of the Ming army.  Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling, Benxi, Kuandian, plus North Korea, based on these key points, the Ming army formed a trend of encircling Jianzhou Guard.  It¡¯s time to temporarily stop the strategic offensive and manage Liaodong first.  Zhu Yongxing didn't want to do it, but the situation dictated it.  The further the Ming army advances inland, the greater the difficulties it will face. The supplies consumed and the logistics personnel required will increase significantly. This is a problem that must be solved.  You must know that the Northeast at that time was indeed the Great Northern Wilderness.  Even Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province in later generations, does not look like a city now. Historically, it was only two hundred years later that wooden city walls were built and the name Changchun came into being.  So, does this mean that the Tartars have achieved their purpose of recuperating?  If you know the Ming army's next plan, then look at the situation on both sides, and the Ming court's financial tension will gradually ease.  Then you know it's not that simple.  From the history of the Ming army¡¯s campaigns, it can be clearly seen that it relied on the navy. Whether it was roundabout landings, harassment and containment, or material transportation, waterways and ships played a great role.  The same is true for the Liaodong War, Bohai Sea, Liaohe River, and Yalu River.  They are all important routes for the Ming army to transport personnel and materials.  As the battlefield moves deeper and deeper inland, the logistical pressure also increases greatly. Transportation changes from water to land, which requires greater investment and more manpower.  Of course, the difficulties can be overcome, but this is not the main reason why the Ming army temporarily enters a rest period, but that the Ming army has a better way.  Tough infantry, tight battle formations, and powerful firepower are the advantages of the Ming army.  The number of cavalry is small.  Poor maneuverability is also a disadvantage of the Ming army, but this situation is being resolved very quickly.  The exchanges in border markets seemed fair, but because the Mongolian tribes only had a single commodity, livestock and furs, they were in a very passive and disadvantaged situation.  The products of the Ming Dynasty were diverse.  There are also luxury goods such as mirrors and silk, which make great profits from border trade.  To know.  In today's border markets, a round mirror as big as a palm would cost two or three horses, and a full-length mirror half as tall as a person would cost dozens of horses.  Of course, only the upper class in Mongolia could afford luxury goods, but many other commodities still brought the Ming Dynasty a large number of horses, cattle and sheep.  Coupled with the temporary alliance of the Chahar tribe.  The number of war horses in the Ming army increased significantly.  Even though the training period of the hussars is long and the requirements for horses and riding skills are high, the dragoons can be easily expanded.  Because the requirements for war horses are not high, and only the musketeers need to learn to ride.  It can be classified as a dragoon, a very simple requirement.  In other words, the Ming army¡¯s future operations in the Northeast will be dominated by cavalry.  One thousand hussars, three thousand dragoons, one thousand chariots, artillery and carriages, each with five thousand men as a combat group, is organized into a cavalry brigade; four thousand infantry, five hundred cavalry, one thousand chariots, artillery and carriages are organized into  For the mixed brigade.  During the next two to three months of rest and reorganization, the Northeast Military Region plans to form at least three cavalry brigades and six mixed brigades as an offensive force to eliminate the Tartars.  ¡°Two or three months later, that is, in autumn, or at the transition between autumn and winter, the Ming army will move out in large numbers again, with the lowest goal of driving the Tartars out of Jianzhou and forcing them to move north again.  With no house, no food, and lack of clothing and supplies, this winter for Jiannu was destined to be extremely cold to the bone.  In addition to rest, reorganization, and training, the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will also build a large number of houses, all with fire pits. Some of them will be used as barracks to allow soldiers to spend the cold winter comfortably, and some will be used to provide homes for veterans and new immigrants.  Prepare for the arrival.  According to the construction plan in the Northeast, villages should be at most fifteen miles apart, with at least twenty households in each village; there should be large market towns within thirty miles, with at least one hundred households in each town.  First, it will be along the traffic lines, and then it will continue to expand the roads; first it will be the distribution of points and lines, and then it will be expanded to the surface.  After launching unprecedented preferential policies, the Ming court prepared to invest heavily in the Northeast, first building Liaodong as a strong backing for the Northeast Military Region.  ¡°Fighting and operating at the same time, or operating and expanding at the same time, has always been one of Zhu Yongxing¡¯s development ideas.  Get out of the blockadeThousands of miles away, sealing the wolf and living in Xu is no doubt magnificent, but it lacks the means to firmly occupy it later.  And this method of occupying one place and stabilizing one place may seem slow, but it is solid and reliable.  The strategic offensive is irreversible. Slowing down, accumulating strength, and then punching hard will not give the Tartars much time to recover.  Spring plowing has come too early, and the crops are not as diverse as under the Ming Dynasty. What can we do in two or three months?  Is it enough to rush to plant and harvest a season of food, or is it enough to raise tens of millions more troops? To be honest, nothing is enough.  It is said that the harsh natural environment can exercise one's body and temper one's mental will, but there is another saying that "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."  The Manchus, who had lived a good life in the Central Plains and had been fed by hard-core crops, had become corrupted. I am afraid that they are only left with complaints and resentments. If they want to regain their glory, they may have to wait for the next generation to grow up from the bitter cold.  But such an opportunity is almost gone. The Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, from cavalry to various equipment, and the financial, material and human resources of the Ming Dynasty are growing rapidly. The gap will not narrow, but will become wider.  Going north, north, and north again, who knew that the Ming Dynasty territory in Zhu Yongxing's mind would have no end, no boundaries, and no satisfaction? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together  This may be a few years later, but hundreds of old thieves and gangsters will not become a phenomenon yet.  The key is the development and construction of the Northeast. Without a settled population and self-sufficiency through farming, the region cannot be stabilized.  It lacks the confidence and stamina to continue expansion.  For the same reason, Tsarist Russia did not have enough population to consolidate the results of its aggression, nor did it have the strength to invest huge manpower and material resources in Siberia for a protracted war.  Jinzhou wins, Gaizhou wins, and Anshan wins; Jinzhou is restored, Liaoyang is restored, Shenyang is restored, and Liaodong is restored.  A series of victories, a series of news of regaining lost lands.  There was once again a wave of celebration in the land of China.  ??From Wanli, to Tianqi, to Chongzhen, and from Jiannu to Houjin, to Jianguo and the Qing Dynasty, the Ming army suffered repeated defeats.  Finally, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, sweeping the world, and the smell was everywhere.  The Han family was almost destroyed.  Now that it has finally turned over, people not only feel proud and happy.  It is full of excitement and pleasure of revenge.  "Go straight to the Yellow Dragon and wipe out all human beings." "Eradicate the slaves and leave no chickens or dogs behind." Arguments such as these began to spread among the people. They may be radical, but they reveal confidence in the country, the government, and the military.  And after confidence comes a more stable mentality.  Jiannu was already on his last legs.  It will no longer be the disaster of the Ming Dynasty, decades of war will finally pass, and peace will come again.  As the saying goes: It is better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.  This may be extreme, but it can show the simplest wishes of the people.  There is no war.  Without displacement, even if life is a little poorer and a little miserable, it is still bearable.  And now we are not just poor, but have very bright prospects. The loose and preferential policies have given people the motivation to strive.  "Making a country rich and its army strong" may no longer be accurate.  What the imperial court now advocates is first to enrich the people, and secondly to enrich the country and strengthen its military.  In other words, the imperial court may not drain all the money out of people's pockets in the name of "strengthening the country", but may want to "keep wealth for the people" and then pursue the enhancement of national and military power.  ¡°When the country is strong, the people will be rich; or when the people are rich, the country will be strong?¡±  This is a matter of opinion and wisdom. It may take a long time to debate, and it will not be an immutable truth.  But in Zhu Yongxing's view, he wants the people to do their best to support the government and work together to deal with the difficulties they encounter.  There is nothing wrong with this in itself.  But what can the poor "people" do to support the government?  Even if you dedicate your "youth" and "life", I'm afraid it won't have the desired effect.  On the other hand, what is a country?  The country is composed of the people and every "ego", and it is not an illusory thing.  What is the purpose of a strong country?  It is to protect every citizen and allow people to live and work in peace and contentment.  It is okay to temporarily sacrifice the interests of the "ego" for the sake of the country's strength, but if the "ego" is required to contribute for a long time without corresponding rewards, it is a bit putting the cart before the horse.  A strong country is the guarantee of a prosperous people, and a prosperous people is the foundation of a strong country.  This understanding should be correct, right?  The strength of a country must be based on the prosperity of its people.  Strength achieved through unified "thought" is like an athlete taking stimulants, it is temporary and deformed.  This conclusion has been proved by the recovery and reconstruction of the South and the North.  When people get rich, they are more willing to support the country in order to maintain their current interests and a stable environment.  In fact, if we analyze and study it carefully, we can see that the Ming army's successive victories are inseparable from the widespread support and help of the people.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Mingjun?  A prosperous age?  Zhu Yongxing did not agree with this.There is a wise king who is satisfied as long as the people are hungry, how can there be a prosperous age where they only eat sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes?  Of course, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.  Due to financial constraints, Zhu Yongxing could only endure and slowly achieve his goals.  However, the changes in the actual situation were beyond his expectation, and the financial problems were alleviated much earlier than expected.  This was mainly due to the people's eager and energetic work for seeking treatment; to the development of commerce and trade, which promoted the development of banking business; to the smoothness of the war of aggression, which plundered a large amount of money, grain and materials; to the new establishment of the dynasty,  Most of the officials are honest and willing to work (a great pie-in-the-sky event, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
