Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There are many ways to eliminate a nation, but to sum up, there are actually only two ways, one is spiritually, and the other is physically. The first method is very troublesome to operate, especially in the Ming Dynasty.  In this era, the Ming Dynasty mostly used the second method to eliminate a nation in its foreign wars.  Physically annihilating a nation usually requires a certain price, but it is also the simplest and most effective. For example, the method Li Anliang is currently using on the Jurchens is to physically annihilate the Jurchens. Whenever he breaks into a village,  When the time comes, they will order a massacre of the Jurchens in the village. For them, the best Jurchen is the dead Jurchen.  It took Li Anliang eight full days to clean up the Jianzhou right guard. As long as the Jurchens who did not escape were all killed by him, there were also a considerable number of Jianzhou left guard Jurchens who had escaped here.  , and then in the center of the plain where the Jurchens lived, Li Anliang once again built a huge Jingguan with the heads of the Jurchens.  Li Anliang did not stay any longer and sent out the last Jianzhou Guards again. However, by this time, the Jianzhou Guards had already learned about the Ming army's policy of massacre of the Jurchens from some Jurchens on the left and right who had fled to them.  , This also frightened the Jianzhou Guards. With their strength, they would definitely not be able to defend the defense. In the end, I am afraid they would end up with the same fate as the Jianzhou Guards. But if they escaped, given the extremely cruel winter in Liaodong,  In the end, very few people survived.  The Jianzhou Guards were faced with a dilemma. No matter which one they chose, they would pay a huge price. However, after careful consideration, the Jianzhou Guards decided to escape into the mountains. After all, they would definitely be dead if they stayed.  However, there was still a glimmer of hope for escaping into the mountains, so in this case, the Jurchens of Jianzhou Guard finally made a difficult decision.  That is to enter the mountains before the Ming army arrives, and also to spend a cold winter in the mountains.  It is precisely because of this that when Li Anliang led the army to the settlement of Jianzhouwei, what he saw was an empty village. However, Li Anliang and the others had already expected this situation. After all, the Jurchens were  Not a fool.  Knowing that staying is a dead end, they will naturally look for other ways out, and escaping into the mountains is their only way out.  Li Anliang led his army to the residential area of ????Jianzhouwei and saw the deserted villages. He immediately asked people to check the Jurchens' route into the mountains. After all, the mountains in Liaodong were all covered by mountains and forests, and tigers,  Wild animals like black bears and wild boars.  Therefore, the Jurchen's route into the mountains must be carefully chosen, rather than randomly rushing into the mountains and forests. Otherwise, it would not be an escape, but a direct entry into the mountains and forests to die.  When the people sent out found out the Jurchens¡¯ route into the mountain, Li Anliang couldn¡¯t help but have a headache, because the opponent actually divided into five groups and penetrated into the forest from five directions.  This was also a way for the Jurchens to prevent them from following and pursuing them. After all, Li Anliang and the others were not familiar with the mountains and forests of Liaodong, which made him dare not divide his troops to pursue them.  "However, Li Anliang and the others had anticipated the situation beforehand, and they had already made speculations in advance. According to their estimation, the Jurchens entered the mountains in several ways, on the one hand, to prevent them from pursuing them.  On the other hand, it is also to increase the hope of survival of some tribes. After all, the environment in the mountains is harsh, especially in winter. Not only is it difficult to find food, but whenever it snows heavily, the mountains and forests will be completely isolated from the outside world.  They will stay in the mountains for the whole winter.  Coupled with the severe cold in winter, if they failed to find a safe and warm place to live, they might all freeze to death in the mountains, and dividing them into several parts would increase their chances of survival.  Even the Jurchens who are familiar with the mountains and forests must make the above preparations before entering the mountains in winter.  Not to mention Li Anliang and the other Ming armies, so no matter how much Li Anliang hated the Jurchens, he did not dare to take all his troops to the mountains to die. Instead, he began to divide his troops and station them at Jianzhou Guard and Jianzhou Right Guard.  In the village, as for Jianzhou Zuowei's village, he burned it down to prevent the Jurchens from coming out of the mountains and taking advantage of it.  Just when Li Anliang was planning to settle down in the Jurchen territory and spend the cold winter, Zhengde was also preparing for the army to spend the winter in Daningwei to the southwest.  Speaking of which, ever since Zhengde conquered Duoyanwei and Tainingwei, he has been staying in Daning and keeping his troops stationary. On the one hand, it is to stay in Liaodong so that there will be no changes in the newly recovered southeastern Liaoning area. On the other hand, Zhengde is also stepping up his time.  Integrating the cavalry of Duoyan and Taining was one of the main reasons why he attacked Liaodong in the first place.  The leaders of Huadang Duoyan Guard and Taining Guard have been sent to the capital for confinement by Zhengde. The remaining ordinary shepherds have also been officially accepted as subjects of the Ming Dynasty by Zhengde, and merchants are also allowed to enter Liaodong to purchase wool from the herdsmen.As a result, these herdsmen quickly tasted the benefits and became accustomed to the changes that Ming products brought to their lives. This made their connection with Ming Dynasty closer and they wanted to maintain their current living standards.  If so, we can only rely on the Ming Dynasty, otherwise we can only return to the original living environment without any guarantee.  With the return of the Mongolians from the Duoyan Guard and the Taining Guard, Zhengde's integration of the Mongolian cavalry also began to enter a critical stage. He gathered all the adult men from these two groups and removed those who were too old or too young.  As well as men with unsuitable physical conditions, the rest received a total of 33,000 people. These more than 30,000 people will be the main cavalry of the Ming Dynasty in the war against Mongolia in the future.  However, the Ming Dynasty has always had a suspicious attitude towards foreigners. Even if it was convinced that the cavalry of Duoyan and Taining guards would not dare to rebel again, Zhengde was still worried, so Zhengde selected another 27,000 from the Ming Dynasty's border troops.  The Han people organized them together with more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry to form a huge cavalry of 60,000 people, and began to train every day. Each of those excellent Mongolian cavalry would lead a Han cavalry, so that the Han cavalry could improve as quickly as possible.  The technology of cavalry and archery is to strive to allow this cavalry to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.  In addition, in order to ensure the Ming Dynasty's absolute rule over this cavalry, Zhengde planned to replace all the officers of this cavalry with trainees who graduated from the cavalry department of the military academy. However, because there are too many cavalry, the trainees who graduated from the cavalry department of the military academy in the past two years  It was simply not enough. In the end, Zhengde had to select a group of cadets who had not graduated from the cavalry department of the military academy. These young cadets would study while serving in the army. In the future, as long as they served in the army for two years and had no faults, the military academy would also  Give them diplomas.  Under the integration of Zhengde, this huge Han-Mongolian cavalry finally slowly took shape and began intense training. After careful consideration, Zhengde named this huge cavalry "Fire Dragon Cavalry".  The Ming Dynasty belongs to Huode, and dragon means that this cavalry is commanded by Zhengde, the real dragon emperor. The entire army is uniformly wearing red armor. When the war horse gallops, the entire cavalry is like a tumbling fire dragon.  However, although the Fire Dragon Cavalry is basically formed, there are still many internal problems. If you want the Fire Dragon Cavalry to become combat effective, you must solve the internal problems. For example, the Mongols are all born cavalry, but they are very unorganized.  , and did not like to be bound by military discipline. Although the Han cavalry was accustomed to obeying orders, there was some gap between them and the Mongols in riding and shooting. As a result, the cavalry could not cooperate 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. According to the characteristics of the Mongolians and Han people, they have formulated corresponding training. In addition, while training, Zhengde has not forgotten to train Mongolians and Han people.  The feelings between Han people even mixed Han people and Mongolians to live together, and they also organized many entertainment activities to deepen their understanding of each other. Although the barriers between ethnic groups cannot be eliminated in a day or two,  As time goes by, they can always develop a certain affection for each other, which will also be more conducive to Ming's control of this cavalry.  In addition to training the Fire Dragon Riders, Zhengde was most concerned about Li Anliang's war against the Jurchens. Ever since Li Anliang succeeded in raiding Jianzhou Zuowei, he sent a messenger every other day to tell him the details of the war against the Jurchens.  Reported to Zhengde, so Zhengde also knew very well about Li Anliang's actions.  In addition, Li Anliang also needs strong logistical support in the war against the Jurchens. After all, they are going in alone. Without logistical support, I am afraid it will not be a war. The daily consumption alone can bring down the entire army.  .  When Li Anliang sent the results of the decisive battle between himself and the three guards of Jianzhou to Zhengde, as well as the heads of Fuman and others, this made Zhengde very excited, because it meant that the Jurchens of Jianzhou had been completely defeated by the Ming Dynasty. Even Li  An Liang could not completely wipe out the Jianzhou Jurchens, and this Jurchen army would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future.  Moreover, after the Jurchens in Jianzhou were eliminated, the only remaining Funing Guard among the three Duoyan guards faced the danger of being attacked from both sides by the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was Zhengde's army in the south or Li Anliang's army in the east, they could attack the Funing Guard at any time.  Faced with this situation, as long as the leader of Funingwei still has some brains, he can make a wise choice now.  Sure enough, Zhengde did not wait too long. A few days later, when the news that the Jianzhou Jurchens had been annihilated by the Ming Dynasty spread throughout Liaodong, Funingwei was so frightened that he immediately sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible to show that he was also willing  Determination to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and how to arrange the tribe in the future?  Everything is subject to Ming's decision.
