Fang Yuan's Liaodong Massacre Order was not to really carry out brutal genocide against the Jurchens in Liaodong, but to use killing as a threat to coerce and induce the Jurchens to kill each other.

Otherwise, millions of Jurchens really rose up to strike, and it was almost conceivable that the Ming army would suffer heavy casualties. Even if it is forcibly suppressed, when will the chaos in Liaodong end?!

The Jurchens were born in the ice and snow, and the living conditions were harsh. Starting from the Wanyan Jurchen, the first time they entered the field of vision of the Central Plains Dynasty, it was an extremely primitive fishing and hunting tribe. In the white water black mountains, they live by fishing and hunting, and the main specialties are only ginseng, animal skins, and the eagle falcon called Haidongqing.

The Wanyan Jurchen captured half of China, and at the same time brought the Central Plains culture into the Jurchen tribe. Previously, Wanyan Jurchen was exterminated by the Mongols, and the Jurchens returned to the white water and black mountains again, and continued to live a life of fishing and hunting.

The Jurchen tribe once again appeared in the field of vision of the Central Plains, that is, Nurhachi, who was a slave and a mercenary for Li Chengliang.

The so-called Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 people, and the saying that 10,000 people are invincible in the world, although it is nonsense, but it also proves from the side that if these Jurchens do not rely on working for the Central Plains Dynasty, or plundering, or oppressing the Han people in Liaodong, it is impossible to raise an army of tens of thousands.

In the past, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji relied on looting the wealth of the Han people in Liaodong, oppressing the Han people as slaves, and increasing their power. Then there were Jin merchants, and the general soldiers of the nine-border border towns secretly communicated with each other, constantly smuggling grain and cloth to go outside the customs to support a huge army for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Since Fang Yuan took over Gyeonggi and Shanxi, he changed the previous Ming Dynasty's conniving attitude towards Jin merchants and Jiubian border towns.

First of all, it dealt a heavy blow to the Jin merchants, and all the Jin merchants who had business dealings with the Manchu Qing Dynasty were cut down, their family property was confiscated, and their children were confiscated as slaves. A major purge was carried out against the officials who were officials in the capital by relying on the relationship between Jin and merchants, and none of them remained.

Secondly, Fang Yuan also directly abolished the establishment of the nine-sided border towns, and directly belonged to the Northern Military Region, and the Northern Military Region arranged for the sergeants to live in the previous border towns. The previous Jiang Pai gang occupied a favorable position at the border pass, and the soldiers who were on the left and right were also cleaned up one by one and driven out of the border town.

Since then, although smuggling at the border gates has not been completely banned, at least it is impossible for there to be an open, large-scale sale of grain and the financing of the enemy. With only a small amount of smuggled grain and cloth, how could it meet the needs of such a huge army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

According to reliable information from Liaodong, there was another major disaster in Liaodong last year, the grain harvest failed, and countless Jurchens starved to death or froze to death.

Now the Jurchens in Liaodong are like a group of hungry dogs.

Fang Yuan's strategy was to use the Liaodong Massacre as a threat to defeat the Jurchens' determination to resist. With Fang Yuan's previous massacre, no one would think that he was joking, at least Jing Jie believed it, thinking that Fang Yuan really wanted to drive the Ming army to carry out the Liaodong Massacre.

Then, a few more fleshy bones were thrown to induce the hungry dogs to kill each other. There are many hungry dogs, few meat and bones, coupled with the threat of slaughter, these hungry dogs will never dare to provoke the Ming who threw the bones, so they can only choose to bite their own kind and save themselves.

Fang Yuan's purpose was only one, that is, to pull out the claws of this group of forest wolves between the white mountains and black waters one by one, and tame them into a family dog that could sing and dance, and was hospitable!

After Chigutai led 70,000 cavalry to the Liao River, he faced each other across the river from the main forces of the two yellow and two white flags led by Duoduo, Azig and Aobai.

The Ming Dynasty is a collection of 200,000 stone grain and grass sent from Jiangnan, and there are 100,000 stone grain and grass in the grain depot in Gyeonggi, which is enough to last for one or two years. The Manchu Qing had just had a poor harvest last year and were destitute.

It was the Manchus, not the Ming army, who were in a hurry to fight.

The Ming army had the upper hand, and Fang Yuan would never repeat the mistakes of Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu.

Before setting out on the expedition, Fang Yuan issued military orders to the commanders of the Ming armies on the two routes, Chigutai and Zhao Quanzhong.

Chigutai was stationed on the Liaohe River, and Zhao Quanzhong was stationed on the Taizi River in Dongningwei. The soldiers and horses on both sides were all across the river, waiting for the Manchu Qing to take the initiative to cross the river to attack, and attack halfway. With the ability of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to build ships and pontoon bridges, daring to cross the river under the nose of the Ming army is to find death. If the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not come, it will be slowly consumed, and the Manchu Qing will be dragged to death!

This expedition to Liaodong is bound to be a protracted war, and it is impossible to rush it.

Fang Yuan did not move in Guangning City, but he was not idle, but sent a diplomatic note through the Mongolian soldiers in the Ming army and the four Mongolian tribes under the jurisdiction of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, including Kelaqin, Chahar, Korqin, and Khalkha, and asked these four Mongolian tribes to send envoys to Guangning to discuss the strategy of counterattacking the Manchus.

At that time, Huang Taiji set up the Eight Banners of Mongolia, mainly Kelaqin, Chahar, Korqin, and Khalkha. Among them, Khalkha is in the north of the desert, and the three parts of Kelaqin, Chahar and Horqin are in the grassland of the south of the desert.

The four Mongolian tribes of Kelaqin, Chahar, Korqin, and Khalkha had different attitudes towards the Manchus.

The Khalkha Department is located in the Mobei region, also north of the Korqin tribe. It is quite far from the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This tribe is also a soy sauce player, and agreed to submit to the Manchu Qing and become a branch of the Eight Banners of the Meng, but it was just because of the military superiority of the Manchu Qing over the Ming Dynasty, and sent troops to help in the war, so that they could ask for some benefits with the army.

The Chahar Department, the most important tribe in Monan, is also the tribe of Lin Dan Khan, who has been courted by the Ming Dynasty. After Huang Taiji's three crusades against the Chahar Department, after the defeat of Lin Dan Khan, the Chahar Department was forced to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was reorganized into the Eight Banners of Mongolia. The Chahar Ministry and the Manchus had a national enmity and family hatred, and if the Manchu control declined, the Chahar Department would definitely be the first to rebel.

The Kelaqin Department, located in today's Inner Mongolia, borders the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and has a closer relationship with the Ming Dynasty than with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Previously, this tribe fought with the Chahar tribe one after another, and before that, the Ming Dynasty had been supporting the more courageous Lin Dan Khan with money and food, and gave up the co-optation of the Kelaqin tribe. Therefore, the Karaqin Department could only choose to defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and accept the adaptation into the Mongolian Eight Banners.

Korqin tribe, this Mongol tribe was the sworn friend of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was the first tribe to accept the adaptation. Moreover, Horqin and the Manchu Qing Dynasty intermarried quite closely, Empress Xiaoduanwen, the queen of Huang Taiji, Xiaozhuang, the mother of Shunzhi, and Borzigit, the queen of Dolgon, were all from this Horqin tribe. This tribe has long been integrated with the Manchu royal family, and it must be a tribe that died in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

According to the actual situation, Fang Yuan formulated a strategy for the disintegration of the Eight Banners of Mongolia this time, that is, to unite with the Chahar Division, win over the Karaqin Department and the Khalkha Division, and attack the Horqin Division.

A month later, as Fang Yuan expected, the Great Khan of the Chahar Department, the Kelaqin Department, and the Khalkha Department sent envoys to Guangning City to visit Fang Yuan. Only Horqin did not move at all, making it clear that it was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he was determined to go to the dark with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
