"The mountains and plains are all filled with Ming troops!" Fuman was shocked when he heard the report from this Black Tiger man. Most of the Jurchens couldn't count, so it was normal for the Jurchen man in front of him not to be able to tell the number of Ming troops. , just listening to his description, it is estimated that the Ming army will definitely not be less than 10,000 people, and may even reach 30,000 or 40,000 people. But with such a large army, why did he not receive any news before? Thinking of this, Fuman suddenly couldn't help but shudder, because he thought of a possibility, that is, the reason why the Ming army suddenly appeared in his territory this time was probably a premeditated raid, or even the conflict between the Ming army and Duoyan Sanwei. The war has probably already been decided, and the next step for the Ming army is the Jurchens themselves. It seems that the Ming Dynasty has a big plan this time. They actually want to completely wipe out Liaodong. "Immediately pass my order to all the tribes that can be notified, and ask them to gather here with their men who can go to the battlefield. In addition, the tribes in the north should also send their women and children here. The speed must be fast, otherwise it will be too late!" Fuman thought of the possible strategic goals of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately ordered anxiously. At the same time, he also hurriedly asked people to inform the confidants in the village and let them prepare for the war quickly. This time the Ming Dynasty The troops came with bad intentions, and it may even be related to the life and death of their Jianzhou Jurchen. At the same time that Fuman announced the gathering of Jianzhou Left Guard troops, a tragic massacre was taking place in a Jurchen village more than 300 miles away from him. The Japanese were cruel and easy to kill, and Li Anliang's Through training, his 50,000 Japanese servants have long been transformed into killing machines without any mercy, as long as they are ordered by their superiors. They will do whatever it takes to accomplish it. This is what Li Anliang needs most. This village belongs to Qiamu Liangbu. Qiamu Liang is a relatively large tribe in Jianzhou Zuowei. It has three villages of considerable size, with a total population of 3,000 people. Yesterday, Qiamu Liang's tribe had received a large-scale attack by the Ming army. news, so they abandoned the other two villages and concentrated the tribesmen in the strongest main village to face the enemy, hoping to use the strong defense of the main village and the strength of all the capable soldiers in the tribe. Block the Ming army here. However, Qiamu Liang's tribe obviously underestimated the number of Ming troops and overestimated the strength of his village. When the 60,000-strong army led by Li Anliang appeared in Qiamu Liang's main village, Qia Muliang's leader and the elders immediately despaired, because they never expected that there would be so many Ming troops coming to attack them. They had previously guessed that the number of Ming troops did not exceed 10,000, but they did not expect that the other side would dispatch a full six Thousands of people. After Li Anliang rushed to Qiamu Liang's tribe, he immediately ordered the Ming army that came with him to dispatch firearms. His army consisted of 50,000 Japanese servants and 10,000 Ming troops. Among the 10,000 Ming troops, there were 2,000 artillery troops. These artillery were used to deal with the Jurchens' simple villages. After all, compared with the Ming Dynasty's strong city walls, the Jurchens mostly used wood and soil mixed to make the walls of the village. This kind of wall could not withstand the bombardment of the artillery. This was not the case before. It has already been tested in the war. It is precisely because of this that the stronghold of Qiamu Liangbu was quickly blasted by artillery. Then Li Anliang sent an army of 10,000 Japanese servants, who rushed in very easily. As a result, these extremely cruel Japanese servants The army immediately launched a brutal massacre against the Qiamu Liang tribe. Although three thousand people seemed to be a lot, when faced with an army of Japanese servants that was several times their size, these three thousand people could only become lambs to be slaughtered. , at most, the resistance of some Jurchens brought some minor casualties to the Japanese servants. When the war in the village finally ended, Li Anliang led several generals in the army and strolled into the Qiamu Liang Village. Now most of the Ming soldiers had entered the village and began to help clean up the village. Corpses, the army will rest here at night. After all, it is autumn now, and the nights in Liaodong are particularly cold, so living in a village at night is naturally much warmer than in a tent. Corpses were everywhere in the village. When Japanese soldiers killed people, they liked to chop off the enemy's heads. This also resulted in the battlefield being filled with falling heads and splattering blood as long as Japanese troops participated in the battle. The Chamu Liang Village in front of us is a typical battlefield where Japanese people participated in the war. From time to time, the soldiers participating in the cleaning would pick out one or two human heads from the corner. The blood on the walls and pavement could not be cleaned at all, but it didn't matter, anyway, they It's just one night, and the weather is cold now, so there is no need to worry about the epidemic. Otherwise, if it is a hot summer, no one would dare to live in a place where dead people and blood are everywhere. Li Anliang wore his long leather boots and walked on the streets with the blood of Jurchens. Whenever he saw a Jurchen's body dragged away from him, the smile on his face would become stronger. For this kind of blood in front of youLi Anliang has long been used to the scene with the corpse, but he still can't forget the first time he saw this scene, because it was a tragedy that happened in his family. The Li family was also a wealthy Liaodong family, but because of He offended the Jurchens, and as a result, hundreds of members of his family were massacred overnight. If his mother hadn't tried her best to hide him in the well, I'm afraid his body would have been turned into bones, although he still can't be sure what happened. It doesn't matter which Jurchen force massacred his whole family. Anyway, as long as he killed all the Jurchens, he would naturally avenge his family. "General, if we go all the way and kill people like this, it will not only slow down the march, but also arouse the hatred of the Jurchens. This will cause great difficulties for us to rule Liaodong in the future, so general, please think twice!" Li Zheng When Anliang was immersed in the pleasure of avenging his relatives, suddenly a young general next to him began to admonish. The young general who spoke was standing next to Li Anliang. From this, it can be seen that his status in the army should be second only to Li Anliang. . If others had said such words, I am afraid Li Anliang would have been angry a long time ago, but for this young general, he just smiled and said: "General Xu Cheng, don't worry, your Majesty sent me to deal with the Jurchens this time, for the sake of forever To get rid of this cancer in Liaodong, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, these Jurchens have surrendered and rebelled, rebelled and surrendered again. The imperial court has no patience with them, so it is better to take this opportunity to let the Jurchen nation Completely disappeared from this land. "This young man named Xu Cheng is the grandson of Wei Guogong and has just graduated from the military academy. When Zhengde led the army to fight the Duoyan Guards, he encountered a sneak attack by Huadang at night. Thanks to Xu Cheng reminding Zhengde to use flares, the Ming army stabilized the situation and launched a counterattack, causing Duoyanwei to suffer considerable losses. With this credit, coupled with Xu Cheng's family background, Zhengde's This time he was appointed to lead an army of 10,000 people to join Li Anliang in the expedition against the Jurchens. Although Li Anliang's words were spoken very easily, Xu Cheng and other generals felt their hearts tighten when they heard it. They had only been ordered to conquer the Jurchens before, which made them think that they could just defeat the Jurchens as before, but they didn't. Thinking of the fact that the imperial court issued an order to exterminate the clan this time, in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty's external conquests, except for those ethnic groups with a very small number of people, large clans like the Jurchens rarely had such military orders to exterminate their clans. "General, the Jurchens are divided into three tribes: Jianzhou, Haixi and Yeren. The total population is nearly one million. The imperial court only sent us an army of 60,000 people. If they want to destroy a large tribe with a population of one million, I'm afraid. Isn't it a little impossible? "Xu Cheng has a prominent family background and is exposed to a lot of news. He is also very aware of the situation of the Jurchens, so he can't help but have some doubts about Li Anliang's military order to destroy the entire Jurchens. Although Li Anliang is the commander-in-chief of this army, he is mainly responsible for commanding his 50,000 servants, while the 10,000 Ming soldiers are directly under the command of Xu Cheng. On the one hand, this is due to Zhengde's emphasis on Xu Cheng, and on the other hand It was also a defense against Li Anliang. After all, Li Anliang surrendered from Korea, and his Japanese soldiers were only commanded by him. However, when these Japanese servants were formed, they were used to attack the Jurchens, and After the Jurchens are eliminated, the Japanese servant army will probably be almost exhausted. At that time, the court will take over this army from Li Anliang. This was also one of the prerequisites for Zhou Zhong to agree to Li Anliang's revenge. It is precisely because of the above reasons that Xu Cheng has a very special position in the conquest of the Jurchen army. He is nominally under the command of Li Anliang, but he has the right to refuse Li Anliang's orders and even make changes to Li Anliang's military arrangements. Raising doubts is equivalent to having the power to supervise the army, so Li Anliang also needs to explain Xu Cheng's words. "Although there are millions of Jurchens in the three major Jurchens, we are mainly dealing with the Jianzhou Jurchens this time. This Jurchen is bordering our Ming Dynasty and has always been capricious, so it must be completely wiped out. In addition, the savage Jurchens are located between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. At the junction, there will be plundering from time to time. Therefore, after wiping out the Jianzhou Jurchens, we must continue to attack the savage Jurchens, at least to make them unable to invade outside within a few years. As for the Haixi Jurchens, we don¡¯t need to worry about them. Someone will naturally deal with them in the future!" Li Anliang explained that although he wanted to use his own power to destroy the entire Jurchens, this was a bit unrealistic, and the enemies who destroyed all of them in the first place should have been the Jianzhou Jurchens. Therefore, being able to destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens is already considered revenge. (To be continued)
