Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba was a famous general, after all, after finding it difficult to destroy the enemy, and the supply of the garrison in Marrakech was difficult, he made up his mind and sent people to Juan III and Ferdinand II to apply for the evacuation of Marrakech by the army, and at the same time, the destruction of the ancient city of Marrakech.

Located in the southern interior of Morocco, at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech is an important ancient city in Morocco. The problem is that Marrakech is far from the sea and far south from Spain. Spain wants to take control of Marrakech, and the price is relatively high. If the main force of the Wattas dynasty is wiped out, it is not impossible to send troops to garrison it. But the problem is that there are still more than 10,000 cavalry of the Vatas dynasty that have not been wiped out. Not only that, but these cavalry also used their high mobility to fight guerrilla attacks, which caused headaches for the Spaniards.

And if Gonzalo wanted to pursue the other party, the infantry could not catch up, and the cavalry was too small, and to catch up was to die. Therefore, the shameless tactics of this guerrilla attack of the Vatas dynasty of large-scale cavalry stumped the famous general Gonzalo. Morality. Cordoba.

Eventually, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba decided to relinquish control of Marrakech and temporarily withdraw from southern Morocco.

In addition to the supply difficulties, Spain's lack of strength to take care of the southern region is also an important reason. After all, Morocco is not much smaller than Spain. It is too difficult to control all of Morocco.

Therefore, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba's opinion is to concentrate existing forces and first complete the control and digestion of the northern part of Morocco, which is centered on the capital Fez. After all, the northern part of Morocco is next to Spain, and it is easy for Spain to send troops to control. Unlike southern Morocco, the road is too far away and difficult to control.

After completing the control of the northern part of Morocco, he will take the northern part of Morocco as the rear and go south again to completely sweep away the remnants of the Wattas Dynasty.

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba believed that it would be difficult for the Wattas dynasty to maintain a cavalry of more than 10,000 for long after losing important agricultural areas in the north (southern Morocco was arid, and the grain-producing areas were mainly along the northern rivers). After all, war horses need food, and the cost of raising them is not low.

Although it is said that both Arabs and Berbers are nomadic peoples, and the Bobu horses raised mainly eat grass. However, once the task is completed, it is also necessary to feed the concentrate. The main reason is that once the cavalry attacked, the war horses ran wildly with the warriors, and the physical energy consumption was very large. After all, the cavalry, together with weapons and armor, weighed a hundred or dozens of pounds. Carrying a hundred or dozens of pounds of heavily armed warriors running wildly, they will definitely not be able to carry it without feeding the essence. Even Mongolian horses, which are resistant to rough feeding, can eat grass in normal times, but in order to ensure physical fitness during the war, they also have to feed fried soybeans. Even the old cattle that are more resistant to thick silk than horses, when plowing the land, must also add food, otherwise they will not be able to carry it.

Therefore, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba felt that after losing the grain-producing regions of the north, it would be difficult for the Wattas dynasty to maintain a cavalry force of tens of thousands for a long time. Then, getting poorer and poorer, until they could not afford to raise so many cavalry. When the time comes, it will be easier for Spain to send a large army to encircle and suppress it.

At the same time, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba proposed to expand the size of the light cavalry while digesting the territory of the north of Morocco. In order to completely eliminate the guerrilla scimitar cavalry of the Vatas dynasty in Morocco, it was necessary to prepare large-scale light cavalry as well. Because, the heavy cavalry could not catch up with each other.

By the time Spain had trained a light cavalry force of at least seven or eight thousand men, the remnants of the Vattas dynasty in Morocco were estimated to be too poor to support too many regular cavalry. At this time, the dispatch of the Spanish light cavalry team can easily encircle and suppress the remnants of the Vatas dynasty and completely complete the control of the entire territory of Morocco......

……

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba's suggestion was still very pertinent, because Spain was not currently capable of eliminating the more than 10,000 Moroccan scimitar cavalry. Mainly, I really can't catch up......

Ferdinand II and Juan III, father and son, eventually agreed to Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba's proposal allowed it to withdraw with a large army to the northern capital of Fez. As for the ancient capital of Marrakech, it is natural to destroy it, so as not to become the lair of the Wattas dynasty......

In this way, before the evacuation, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba made the 40,000 or 50,000 people with the army strong, and carried out a vigorous demolition in the ancient city of Marrakech......

The city was already small at this time, and with enough Spanish labor, the demolition of the ancient capital of Marrakech was quickly implemented. The old royal palace in Marrakech, as well as the old Koutoubia Mosque in the city, were all demolished by the Spaniards.

At the same time as the forced demolition, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba also looted the whole city, taking everything of value from the city. In addition, he set fire to all the houses and furniture that could be set on fire......

……

When the Spanish army withdrew, the Sultan of the Wattas dynasty, Abu Abu. Abdullah. Burtucali. Ibn . Muhammad entered the city with a large army in a hurry to reclaim the ancient capital. But after entering the city, the Sultan of the Wattas dynasty, Abu Abu. Abdullah. Burtucali. Ibn . Muhammad was horrified to find that the entire city was in ruins......

In this way, even if Marrakech is taken over, the destroyed city will not be usable. Want to re-enable? Yes, come out with a large sum of money......

However, after the loss of the royal capital of Fez and the northern agricultural region, the Vatas dynasty lost its main source of wealth and had no money to rebuild Marrakech. As a result, Marrakech is abandoned......

In this way, after losing the political and economic center of the south such as Marrakech, the Sultan of the Wattas dynasty, Abu Abu. Abdullah. Burtucali. Ibn . Mohammed's chances of a comeback are even lower. Without the economic support of the bustling city, the Sultan of the Wattas dynasty, Abu Abu. Abdullah. Burtucali. Ibn . Muhammad was now no different from the chieftains of the heavily armed nomadic tribes in Morocco. And after running out of money, Abu. Abdullah. Burtucali. Ibn . Muhammad's strength only grew weaker and weaker, and eventually he was reduced to the same level as the ordinary nomadic chieftains......

And when Abu. Abdullah. Burtucali. Ibn . When Muhammad's power fell to the level of ordinary nomadic chieftains, the tribes of southern Morocco were no longer willing to listen to him. After all, everyone's strength is about the same, why listen to you?

The Sultans of the Wattas dynasty did not have the noble lineage of the Hashemite family, and they did not have much influence. Moreover, the Wattas Dynasty also usurped the throne from the previous Marin Dynasty, and it has only been 37 years since the successful usurpation, and it has not yet been generally accepted in the hearts of the Moroccan people. As long as the strength declines, it will be difficult to gain universal recognition.

……

After the Spanish army withdrew to the north, the control and purge of the northern part of Morocco began. Originally, according to Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba's idea should be to adopt a policy of softness towards the locals and win the hearts of the people first.

However, at this critical moment, the Spanish Inquisition suddenly jumped out and asked to take charge of religious affairs in northern Morocco......

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoval's head grew suddenly, because the Inquisition was a group of fanatical religious lunatics who were most fond of oppressing infidels. But Morocco is basically Allahite, and in the eyes of these Catholic fanatics in the Inquisition, they are definitely the objects that should be "purified". So, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba can foresee that Morocco will definitely not be able to be peaceful in the future......
