    Zhengde's sneak attack was well prepared this time, and one link was linked to the other. When Hua Dang was driven out of the military camp by artillery, he fell into an ambush by the Ming army. As a result, fighting left and right had no effect, but caused  His own side suffered heavy casualties. When dawn came, Huadang discovered that after the melee in the middle of the night, nearly one-third of his cavalry had been lost. The rest were all wounded, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. On the other hand, the cavalry on the opposite side had suffered heavy casualties.  The Ming army was in high spirits, because the Ming army had twice their number, and the injured had long been replaced.  At this time, Huadang was already depleted of men and horses, 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, and even as long as Zhengde returned again  If you work harder, you can wipe out the entire Duoyan Guard force.  In this hopeless situation, Hua Dang once again made a decision, that is, to surrender to Zhengde. Anyway, this is not the first time they have done this, and they have tried their best. If they continue to fight, the only option is to die in battle.  There is one way to go, and according to the survival rules of the prairie people, as long as people are still alive, there is hope for everything. Therefore, for Hua Dang, the most important thing now is how to save his own life.  Zhengde was still a little puzzled by Hua Dang's decisive choice to surrender. After all, Hua Dang had previously shown an attitude of fighting them to the death, but now he was just surrounded, and the opponent still had nearly 20,000 cavalry.  , may not have the strength to fight, so in Zhengde's view, Huadang is far from desperate, but the other party unexpectedly surrendered.  This made him unable to understand it anyway.  But soon Jiang Bin helped Zhengde explain the survival rules of the prairie people.  And for a tribal leader like Hua Dang.  If the cavalry under his command suffered serious losses, then even if he could escape, he would definitely be criticized by the tribe and even lose his position as the leader of the tribe. Moreover, other tribes around him would also be eyeing them, so Huadang could not afford the loss. Now  In this case, the only option is to surrender.  Understanding Hua Dang¡¯s wishful thinking, Zhengde quickly thought of a countermeasure.  He personally received the envoys sent by Huadang to discuss surrender, and then personally promised the other party that as long as Huadang asked the troops to lay down their weapons and obey the Ming's arrangements, he could guarantee the lives of the tribal leaders, and even  Give them an official position.  Hua Dang was naturally very excited when he learned that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had made a personal promise, and he also knew that the real target of the Ming Dynasty was the little Tatar prince, not his own small tribe in Liaodong.  Even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to conquer the grassland, it might have to rely on its own strength.  So after thinking about it for nearly a day, he finally decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. All the Duoyan Guard soldiers laid down their weapons, and even their horses were handed over to the Ming Dynasty.  After Zhengde accepted the surrender of Duoyanwei, as he said before, he did not renege on his word, but really ensured the safety of Huadang and other Duoyan heads, and even granted them a Ming official position.  However, what Hua Dang never expected was that all of them, the Duoyan Tou people, would move to Beijing. Without the orders of the Ming Emperor, they would never be allowed to return to the grassland again.  Only then did Hua Dang realize that he had been deceived by Emperor Zhengde. He wanted to use himself as a puppet and completely separate himself from the Duoyan Guards. Moreover, after arriving in the capital, he would have to behave like a dog with his tail between his legs.  , is no longer the eagle on the grassland that roams across Liaodong.  Unfortunately, it was too late to realize it at this time. Duoyanwei¡¯s cavalry had been disarmed by the Ming Dynasty, and they didn¡¯t even have horses. If they showed dissatisfaction and resistance at this time, it would only lead to the massacre of the Ming Dynasty. Hua Dang did not think that the Ming Dynasty  The army would be so kind, but these frontier troops were always very brutal when they killed the prairie people.  People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Although Hua Dang was extremely angry, he had no choice. In the end, he could only take his family and the leaders of the Duoyan Guard and rushed to Beijing under the escort of a Ming army.  City, where Zhou Chong had built a luxurious prison for them. Once they entered, they could not come out again.  With the surrender of Duoyan Guards, the Liaodong Army and Li Anliang's Japanese servant army also fought very smoothly against the Taining Guards. The Taining Guards were originally the weakest among the three Duoyan Guards, and the number of troops they faced was more than  There are still ten thousand more Duoyan Guards, which makes Taining Guards dare not fight directly with the Ming army. They can only send out groups of rangers to fight, using this method to delay the Ming army, and then use their own  The tribe moved towards Daning where Duoyan Guard was located. After all, in their opinion, instead of spreading their forces to deal with the Ming Dynasty's army, it was better to join forces with Duoyan Guard and maybe be able to repel one of the Ming armies.  But it is a pity that before the Taining Guards could join up with the Duoyan Guards, they received the news that the Duoyan Guards had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the Taining Guards also made the decision to surrender almost at the same time. After all, compared to  Get up, their strengthDuoyan Wei was not even a little bit worse. Even Duoyan Wei surrendered. Naturally, Taining Wei had no other choice.  Two of the three Duoyan guards have surrendered one after another, and now only the northernmost Funing guard has not responded. Speaking of which, Funing guard and Duoyan guard had some differences at the beginning, and there were several internal fights between the two sides, just because of the Funing guard.  The strength is insufficient, so they can only stay at the northernmost end of the three guards. In comparison, the conditions are relatively poor, and they usually have the least communication with the Ming Dynasty. This time when the Ming Dynasty attacked Duoyan Guard and Taining Guard, Funing Guard has been  There was no reaction. Now that the two guards have surrendered, Funing Guard is still waiting and watching. It seems that there is still some luck.  Zhengde also guessed Funing Guard's plan, but he did not plan to use any more troops this time. Instead, he stationed the army in Daning. On the one hand, he rested and reorganized, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take advantage of Duoyan Guard and Taining Guard.  The population of the land has been digested, especially the mature men in the two guards. With a little reorganization, a good Mongolian cavalry can be formed. This was also one of the original intentions of the decision to attack the three guards of Duoyan. In the future, the Ming Dynasty wanted to rule the grassland.  It is necessary to have a large-scale cavalry, and the training of 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 mixed formation of Ming cavalry,  Such cavalry is enough for the Ming Dynasty to use.  However, in order to ensure the loyalty of the Mongolian cavalry in this cavalry, it is not enough to just mix Han and Mongolian. In addition, the Mongolian tribes of Duoyan and Taining will also be fully integrated into the rule of Ming Dynasty. For example, Zhengde began  They built fortresses and concrete roads in the Liaodong area, and then moved Han people from the Hebei area to settle there. In addition, merchants from the Ming Dynasty also rushed to order wool. With these, the tribes of Duoyan and Taining Erwei were in line with the Ming Dynasty.  Together they are closely integrated. In the future, when the cavalry of these two guards go out on an expedition, their families will be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they will not dare to have two minds easily.  It will naturally take some time to completely digest the two guards of Duoyan and Taining, but Zhengde seems not to be in a hurry at all. The entire army is stationed in the Daning area and is practicing constantly every day. By the way, Duoyan and Taining are also  The Mongolian cavalry of Ningliangwei and the Han cavalry were mixed together to conduct some adaptive training. Although there were still problems of one kind or another, overall they were developing in a good direction.  Regarding the stagnant actions of the Ming army, the Funing Guards in the north finally breathed a sigh of relief. From the current signs, the Ming Dynasty's military targets this time should only be the Duoyan and Taining guards. After all, these two guards were originally  They are close to the Ming Dynasty. They usually have the most contact with the Ming Dynasty, but it is they who go south to plunder every time. Funingwei is some distance away from the Ming Dynasty, so it is difficult to go south. Perhaps it is for this reason that the Ming Dynasty does not have the right to attack the Ming Dynasty.  They Funingwei took action.  However, the Funing Guards were obviously a little too optimistic. What they didn't know was that while Zhengde was busy digesting Duoyan and Taining Guards, the 50,000 servants led by Li Anliang and the 10,000 Xuanfu border troops quietly  After leaving Daning, passing through Guangning and the original Liaodong Dusi, they headed northeast, aiming directly at the Jurchen tribe located in the eastern part of Funingwei. If the Ming Dynasty conquered the Jurchen tribe as well, then Funingwei would be faced with enemies from both sides.  If it doesn't want to surrender, it will have no choice but to move north.  As autumn deepens, the Liaodong Plain has become very cold. The leaves on the trees slowly fall, and the weeds on the ground turn golden yellow. The animals are also seizing the last time to store food and fat for this purpose.  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 army's poisonous hands and become special forces in the army.  meal.  Li Anliang led his 50,000 Japanese servants at the forefront. In the previous war against the Taining Guards, they had no large-scale contact with the Taining Guards. A small group of Taining cavalry were also intercepted and killed by the Liaodong cavalry.  , so his servant army has almost no chance to kill the enemy, which also makes these servant armies still maintain a complete organization to this day.  But this is what Li Anliang wants to see. After all, when he returns to Liaodong this time, his main enemies are the barbaric Jurchens, who are also the sworn enemies who massacred their whole family. For this opportunity of revenge, he has been waiting  He has worked for many years, and 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 army of servants. Only in this way can he avenge his family who died tragically!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
