    In Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhou Zhong was reviewing official documents from Liaodong. Speaking of the situation in Liaodong, it can be said that things have changed dramatically during this period. After Li Anliang led an army of 50,000 Japanese servants to mainly destroy the Jurchens in Jianzhou, it happened that  Winter came, so they spent the winter in the Jurchens' lair in Jianzhou, and about one-third of the Jurchens in Jianzhou were forced to flee to the mountains to survive in the winter.  When the spring of the next year began, Li Anliang did not forget the Jurchens who had fled into the mountains, so he divided his army into several groups to search. As a result, he finally found most of the Jurchens who had fled into the mountains. However, most of these Jurchens were  They died due to cold and lack of food, and even cannibalism occurred in some places. It can be said to be very miserable. However, Li Anliang, who was hated by his country and his family, had no mercy and still ordered these remaining Jianzhou Jurchens to be killed.  After the annihilation, the title of Jianzhou Jurchen no longer exists in the world.  After wiping out the Jianzhou Jurchens, Li Anliang immediately marched his army eastward and began to attack the Savage Jurchens' territory. At the same time, North Korea also organized an army, so the two Ming armies began to attack the Savage Jurchens from the east and west. In this way  Under the circumstances, the savage Jurchens naturally would not sit still and die, and various tribes began to organize a coalition to prepare to fight against the Ming Dynasty's attack.  At the beginning of the war, the savage Jurchens 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. However, as time went by, the savage Jurchens suddenly lost their combat effectiveness.  , and there were even cases of some wild Jurchens escaping on the battlefield.  Li Anliang and the generals on the North Korean side were not surprised by this situation. Even before the war started, they had already anticipated that the main reason for this happening was the savage Jurchens themselves. These savage Jurchens were not like the Jianzhou Jurchens and Jianzhou Jurchens.  The Haixi Jurchens know how to plant. They usually only rely on hunting for a living and do not know how to grow crops at all. This also leaves their tribe with basically no food reserves.  In addition, Li Anliang and the North Korean army came to kill them as soon as spring began, and the food stored by the savage Jurchens was already used up in the winter, and there was no time to replenish it.  It can be said that the savage Jurchens basically did not bring much food except for the weapons in their hands. It was not that they did not want to bring it, but also that the tribe behind them had no food at all.  When they were hungry before.  They would bring weapons and rush into North Korea to rob them. There was enough food there for them to eat. But now the war is taking place in the territory of the savage Jurchens. Each of these savage Jurchens is poorer than the other, which makes them have nowhere to rob.  So when the food brought is finished.  Naturally, these savage Jurchens' combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they even fled.  Li Anliang and the others were waiting for this opportunity, otherwise they would not have waited until spring to launch an attack. Therefore, when the savage Jurchens' combat effectiveness was greatly reduced due to lack of food, they were immediately defeated by Li Anliang and the North Korean army. Then the two armies broke into  Entering the territory of the savage Jurchens, they committed murder and arson.  As long as they meet their Jurchens, they will never escape their poisonous hands.  At the same time that Li Anliang and the North Korean army were encircling and suppressing the Barbarian Jurchens, Zhengde, who had rested in Daning for a whole winter, finally began to take action. He assembled the 60,000 fire dragon cavalry that had initially formed combat effectiveness and personally served as the commander of this cavalry.  Then he killed the Funing Guard, the only remaining member of Duoyan's three guards, as quickly as possible.  Previously, Funing Guard had been worried that after Ming Dynasty destroyed Duoyan Guard and Taining Guard, it would attack them directly, but they did not expect that Ming Dynasty's army would stay in Daning.  There was no intention of heading north, which made Funing Guard slowly feel relieved, thinking that the main targets of the Ming Dynasty this time were only Duoyan Guard and Taining Guard. As for themselves further north, they were not included in the Ming Dynasty's crusade.  .  But Funing Guard never expected that the Ming army, which had been in Daning for half a year, would suddenly attack them, and they would dispatch 60,000 cavalry.  With this kind of force, let alone his small Funing Guard, even the little Tatar prince would probably have to fight the enemy with all his strength, and who would win or lose is still in doubt.  In addition, Funingwei also faces the same problem as the savage Jurchens, and life on the grassland is also very difficult.  Especially food is never enough. After a winter of consumption, Funing Weizhong is also short of food. In addition, the spring grassland is the most important season. They have to shear the heavy wool from the sheep, and then they have to prepare for it.  Ewes deliver babies, and at the same time they have to find places with abundant water and grass for cattle and sheep to gain weight. It can be said that if this season is delayed, the tribes on the grassland will not have an easy time all year long.  But at this critical moment, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry suddenly arrived, forcing Funingwei to give up what he was doing and pick up weapons and mount war horses to defend his tribe.  In fact, what the grassland people don't know is that this is the advantage of the professional army over the non-professional army. The Ming army does not need to be distracted by other things. They have only one task, which is to obey the orders of their superiors and defeat all enemies.  Of course, there will be many difficulties when sending troops in spring, such as ice and snow in winter.Changes have made the roads very muddy, which has brought many difficulties to the logistics and supplies of the army. In addition, the weather in spring is also very changeable. If there is a late spring cold and another snowfall, it is likely to  Let the army pay some casualties.  However, nothing is guaranteed, especially in war. As long as you can achieve your goals, it is worth taking some risks.  Risks and benefits are directly proportional. When the Ming Dynasty's army appeared in the south of Funingwei's tribe, Funingwei only hastily organized an army of more than 10,000 people, and was not prepared for a war at all.  Even taking a step back, even if the Funing Guards knew the news in advance and organized the entire tribe's army, let alone whether they could win in the end. Not only were these prairie cavalry unable to help the tribe during the war,  At the same time, a large amount of food is consumed. Even if the Ming army can be defeated, the entire Funing Guard will eventually collapse, because as long as there is no food, no tribe can survive.  What¡¯s even worse is that the Jianzhou Jurchens on the east side of Funingwei have been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty¡¯s army can come from the east side at any time. When the time comes, they will have no chance of winning against Zhengde¡¯s army.  In this unfavorable situation, the leader of Funingwei made a very wise choice, which was to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, because he had no other choice at all. He couldn't even escape if he wanted to. All the cattle and sheep in the tribe needed  They have no extra food to take care of, so they simply cannot support large-scale migration.  The surrender of Funingwei did not surprise Zhengde. Even his entire battle plan was carefully calculated by a group of students who graduated from the Staff Department of the Military Academy. Not only did they take into account the right time, place and people, but also the enemy's  Reactions are also taken into consideration, so Ming's army is now like a sophisticated machine. Every step is calculated in advance. Even if there is an accident, there is a remedy.  After the Funing Guards surrendered, Zhengde immediately mobilized the officials and food prepared from the rear, and then officials from the Ming Dynasty officially took over the management of the Funing Guards. At the same time, the Funing Guards' troops did not disband, but all gathered together.  Under the command of Zhengde, troops were immediately dispatched to the Haixi Jurchens.  The place where the Haixi Jurchens live is located in the northeast of Funingwei. The two are not very far apart. Moreover, although the Haixi Jurchens are far away from the Ming Dynasty, they are more willing to learn from the advanced culture of the Ming Dynasty. Not only do the tribes grow crops,  At the same time, it can also smelt steel. It can be said that it is the fastest growing among the three Jurchens, and it is also the strongest.  However, although the Haixi Jurchens are strong, they are only among the Jurchens. In comparison, their strength is almost the same as that of the previous Duoyan Guards. Therefore, when facing the Ming Dynasty's 80,000 cavalry, they have no strength at all.  No matter how hard they fought back, the tens of thousands of troops organized by the leaders of the Haixi Jurchens were defeated one after another, and were finally completely routed.  Regarding the Jurchens, the Ming Dynasty did not have any good impressions of them at all, whether they were Jianzhou Jurchens or Haixi Jurchens, so Zhengde also implemented a cruel massacre policy against them, but those who received the massacre were the Funing Guards who had just surrendered.  Let them show their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, it is to scare the Funing Guards and let them know what will happen if they are unwilling to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.  After wiping out the Haixi Jurchens, Zhengde commanded the army to turn to the east, which is the territory of the Savage Jurchens. Speaking of the Savage Jurchens, it is just a general term. All Jurchens who do not belong to Jianzhou Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens belong to the Savage Jurchens.  The savage Jurchens that Li Anliang and North Korea attacked were only the savage Jurchens in the south that were closer to the Ming Dynasty. Further north, especially on Sakhalin Island, there would be more savage Jurchens, but it was just too cold there. Even if they attacked  There is no value in coming down, so Zhengde only needs to eliminate all the Jurchens in Liaodong.  Zhengde's Fire Dragon Riders, Li Anliang's servant army, and the troops organized by North Korea, the three Ming armies swept through Liaodong like a comb several times, and finally cleared up the remaining Jurchens, even if the Ming Dynasty is not here in the future  If troops are stationed here, I am afraid that the Jurchens will not be able to create a big climate, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty will never give up the land of Liaodong.  After cleaning up Liaodong, Zhengde's Fire Dragon Cavalry was finally integrated after this training and became a real cavalry team. This also greatly boosted Zhengde's confidence, and he immediately began to implement a plan to gradually encroach on the Mongolian grasslands.  Zhou Chong, who had been prepared for a long time, also gave the greatest support. Not only did he increase his efforts to purchase wool and other commodities from the grassland, he also sent out road construction teams one after another to start building cement roads leading to the depths of the grassland.
