As the Red Lady's men continued to harass, Anabilon's generals felt that they were always close to winning, but they always felt powerless, so in a fit of rage, they asked Anabilon for instructions to mobilize a large team of men and horses to encircle and suppress them. Anabilon, who was enraged, also felt that he was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would completely occupy these places if he continued like this, so he mobilized 50,000 horses or the most elite soldiers, and planned to wipe out the Red Lady's men and horses at once, but he still felt struggling, so he added 50,000 soldiers and adopted a large-scale encirclement tactic, but after sending a large number of troops here, it caused Ava's internal emptiness.

The chief military officer in Yunnan is not the Red Lady, but Liu Wei, the Red Lady is only Li Xin's personal guard, Liu Wei is a great general, in the winter of the tenth year of Wanli, the Burmese army invaded Yongchang and Tengyue, and the governor Liu Shi had asked for an increase in troops. In the spring of the following year, Liu Wei was promoted to guerrilla general, responsible for the defense of the Tengchong area. After Myanmar was unified by Mangruiti, it invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty several times, and Jiangxi businessman Yue Feng and Mangruiti were embarrassed and troubled the Ming border. At that time, Yue Feng and the robber Han Qian led hundreds of thousands of elephant soldiers to burn and loot on the Ming side, and Mu Changzuo, the Duke of Qianguo, ordered Deng Zilong, Zhao Rui and other Ming generals to resist, and fought more than ten times, beheaded more than 1,600 people, and shot and killed Mang Mengbei and the knife fell into the ginseng. Shi Yuefeng attacked Yao Guan, which Deng Zilong was guarding, for a long time, and just as Liu Wei rushed to the troops, the military might was greatly boosted. Yue Feng was frightened, so he ordered his wife, son, and subordinates to surrender. Liu Wei asked him to sacrifice the gold medal seal and the territory of Manmo and Meng Mi. So under the pretext of escorting Yue Feng's wife and children back to Longchuan, he sent troops straight to Shamulong Mountain, occupied the dangerous terrain, and entered the territory of Longchuan as soon as possible. Yue Feng considered that Liu Wei's troops were on all sides, so he went to the barracks to surrender. Liu Wei led his troops into Burma, and the Burmese generals fled in the lead, leaving only a small number of troops stationed in Longchuan. Liu Wei attacked them, and Yue Feng's son Xiao Wu also surrendered. Liu Wei then took Yue Feng's father and son to attack Manmo and pursued him with victory. The enemy was in a difficult situation, tying up Burmese people and elephants, and Malay prisoners, and it was very calm. So he appeased Meng Yang's robbers, who were about to flee on elephants, pursued and captured them. He transferred his troops to besiege Meng Lian and captured the enemy's leader alive.

Liu Wei had many of his father's old generals, all of whom were strong and capable people, so Liu Wei thought he was very powerful, and he went out to fight in Burma, commanded the troops on the banks of the Jinsha River, and built the general platform on the site of Wang Ji, which was indeed very prestigious. However, he was greedy for money, and he was lawless in controlling his subordinates. When the troops returned to Tengchong, they wore armor and made loud noises and burned the houses of ordinary people. When Liu Wei heard the news, he immediately flew to the horse and rewarded the soldiers with money, which settled down. And the local official Sishun was afraid of causing trouble to himself, so he rebelled and took refuge in the bandit leader surnamed Mang. Therefore, Emperor Wanli issued an edict to dismiss Liu Wei from his post and wait for dispatch as a guerrilla.

In the face of such a thorny general, Li Xin can be said to be very traumatic, fortunately, Zhu Youxiao sent him a large number of students from the military academy, coupled with modern weapons, to carry out strict transformation of Liu Ling's subordinates, which allowed Li Xin to gradually subdue Liu Wei, because Liu Wei basically did not understand these new things, he had to study again, especially the current military salary and supplies of the Ming army are very in place, and he does not have to rely on robbery to improve morale, the officers of the military academy are disciplined and well-trained, which also makes him very admired, This gave him a chance to make a comeback again and continue to serve as the chief military officer of Yunnan, otherwise he would have no future in the future.

Since the discovery of the jade mines in the Wulu River Valley, Liu Wei was eager to try, and asked Li Xin to let him lead a group of men and horses to expel the Dongwu forces, Li Xin asked him to wait patiently for the opportunity, not to act rashly, and also asked the officers with the army to form a staff team to help Liu Wei make plans and study the possibility of a successful attack on Dongwu.

Since the appearance of the Qi family's army in the army of the Ming Dynasty, there are still a lot of armed forces named after the generals, even in the most chaotic time at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no phenomenon of military generals, but there were things like Wu Sangui led the troops to surrender, but there were many large-scale surrenders, in order to avoid such a situation, Zhu Youxiao's approach is to establish a perfect staff system, and the main members of the staff system are students who graduated from the military academy, Zhu Youxiao as the honorary principal is their highest teacher, Therefore, the loyalty of these soldiers is very high, and they will not participate in the rebellion, which greatly reduces the role of the generals, so that they cannot form the core role of the army leader.

A smart person like Li Xin has long understood Zhu Youxiao's approach. Therefore, when he became the governor of Yunnan, the Red Lady was one of the generals, in order to avoid suspicion, he asked the Ministry of War to send a large number of officers who graduated from the military academy to the army in Yunnan, and the first destination of these officers was the army of the Red Lady, when a certain scale was formed, it was cross-deployed with Liu Wei's army, and then a new army after integration was formed, and a formal staff was formed. Liu Wei is also smart and did not make any rebounds.

Liu Wei is the martial champion of the Ming Dynasty, and he is from a family of military generals, and his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is relatively high, which is one aspect. The second is that with the application of new weapons, the supply of the army is very complicated, and the dependence on the country is very large, which no one can do by himself, especially the military industrial enterprises established by Zhu Youxiao, which are in the hands of the imperial court, so that if there is a mutiny, the rebels will completely lose the source of weapons, and the army without the source of weapons will only have the road of destruction in the face of powerful artillery fire, which Liu Wei knows very well.

In history, Wu Sangui's successful rebellion is related to the fact that his army is mainly cold weapons, and the most important equipment of Guanning Iron Cavalry is iron armor, which is a one-time equipment that can be used for a long time, as for the war horse can be domesticated at any time, and the personnel can be increased at any time, relatively speaking, the reliance on the Ming court or the Qing Dynasty is not very large, so he dared to rebel. But like the Qi family's army, which is dominated by firearms, even if it is suppressed very badly in the later period, they cannot defect, because their cannons and muskets can only be used for a long time, and the supply of cannonballs and * makes them unable to solve it themselves, Zhang Juzheng also saw this before he dared to arm the Qi army, and the final defeat of the Qi army was also caused by the difficulty of the last supply of the Ming court.

After Li Xin arrived in Yunnan, through the example of the Red Lady's subordinates, after the men and horses of Liu Wei, Deng Zilong, and Zhao Rui were cross-mobilized with each other, the old-style cold-weapon army was completely transformed into a new-style modern army, basically abandoning cold weapons, mainly using artillery and rifles, eliminating old and weak soldiers, recruiting some new recruits, and completely turning into a new-style army under the training of military academies and colleges, and forming a new combat mode based on grass-roots non-commissioned officers.

Liu Ling, Deng Zilong, and Zhao Rui also received training from the cadets of the military academy in the new combat mode, coupled with their experience, experience, and especially the synthesis of military thinking, so that they have the ability to continue to lead the new army to fight, but it is absolutely impossible to raise troops on one side, and sufficient logistics supplies also allow them to no longer need to take other ways to inspire the loyalty and combat courage of their officers and generals.

Now Li Xin has completely mastered the military and political power in Yunnan, but in terms of logistics and supply, Li Xin still wisely chose to let the military official Confucianism who graduated from the military academy to control it, so as to completely avoid being instigated by his subordinates and giving birth to the intention of rebellion, and also avoid the people below from having this way of thinking, and Li Xin himself also avoided any suspicion. The reason why Li Xin chose Fang Ruguo, or because of his information resume, this person lost his father at the age of four, studied hard under the guidance of his mother, this person is filial piety, famous in the township, he participated in the first examination of the Ming Dynasty in the first year of the Apocalypse, he chose the Ming official school, and then entered the military academy to study, he did not study the combat major, but the logistics supply major that most people do not want to choose, which is a very unpopular major for people who enter the military academy to study, intend to expand the territory and make meritorious contributions, Fang Ruguo chose this major, which shows that this person is very calm and sees the development trend of the army, that is, the role of logistics supply in the army is increasing.
