In general, Jiannu has been basically destroyed by the plague in the Daling River.

They gathered in Liaoyang, although they avoided the danger of being scattered and broken by each other, but also provided convenience for the spread of the plague, and the remaining 40,000 Jianzhou Jurchens died of illness after coming to Liaoyang.

Fortunately, this time was the Xiaoice River period, and the snow fell very early, and the snowflakes fell at the end of September, so that the plague did not continue to survive, otherwise, it is not impossible for the entire group to die due to the disease.

Although the snow indirectly helped Jiannu control the epidemic, because most of them were relocated to Liaoyang in a hurry, and the cold supplies were not well prepared, thousands of people were frozen to death, and now, the entire Jianzhou Jurchen has more than 20,000 people.

From the beginning of the Battle of the Great Ling River, in just a few months, the Jianzhou Jurchens were beaten back to their prototype from the peak, and many people pessimistically believed that the shaman they believed in abandoned them, and the consequence was that many people no longer had the original vitality and ambition and confidence to rob others.

There are still a few young and strong people clamoring to go to Daming to grab things, and most of the heavy ones don't want to mention it, just with more than 20,000 people, even 10,000 soldiers can not get together, how can there be any strength to rob.

Jiannu himself boasted that "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 people, and they are invincible", in all fairness, in this era of the East Asian continent, they are indeed a strong army, but the premise of a strong army must also be maintained by a certain scale of people, not even 10,000 soldiers, how can they be invincible.

Even if they are still brave, they can still win the battle, but after a few battles, they can't bear the battle damage alone, isn't the Sparta of the Greek Federation brave and invincible, isn't it because of the small population, and it was also destroyed.

As for the plague, according to Zhiwen's observations, it has indeed stopped raging in Liaodong, the cold climate has reduced the activity of rats, and the death of the last group of infected people, the source of transmission between people has also been contained, and there are no more people suffering from plague near Liaoyang.

In other words, the troops can enter Liaoyang and carry out the final blow on Jiannu.

Although it was good news, Zhiwen was a little excited, he originally thought that even after the plague, the Jin people were still a hard bone, and if they wanted to completely eliminate the hidden dangers, not only had to unite the Mongolian people and various mercenary groups, but also the Zhuolu Trading Company had to do their best.

The reason why I haven't returned to Dalintai has been because of the consideration of isolating the plague, which is to facilitate this final blow, otherwise it will be too troublesome to run around.

But looking at Jiannu's current situation, where is there any need to exert such great strength, just agree to Ye He and Heishui to go south to plunder, and at the same time relax the restrictions on the Tianzi mercenary group, so that they can also enter Liaodong to show their skills, at most a year, Liaoyang Zuo will be cleaned up.

"Let's go, Xiaojie, go back." After cleaning up the goods of the accompanying vehicle, Zhiwen said to Song Caijie with low interest.

"Back to the mountain?"

"Well, go back to the mountain first, and then... Then go home. ”

"Go home, can you go?!" Song Caijie was very happy, he also thought that Zhiwen had made this trip to probe the reality of Jinren, so as to make the final blow, but he didn't expect that he would be withdrawn.

"It's boring." Zhiwen smacked his lips, "We don't need to come forward, go back and release the task, Zou Qun and Lao Huang will clean up this place like wolves grabbing food." ”

In the middle of the fourth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, after more than four months, Zhiwen finally returned to Dalintai after a long absence with the two groups of Han people who had been rescued, as well as their own military horses.

Before he had time to catch his breath, he had to deal with the leaders of the various tribes on the left and center flanks of the Mongols, and now from the original Han Department to the Liaohe, all the tribes of all sizes have surrendered.

Of course, nominally they still respect Lin Dan Khan as the co-master, but in fact, these Mongolian people are not stupid, at least they know that the real power is in the hands of Prime Minister Lin Yuan, Left Prime Minister Sulut, and Right Prime Minister Su De, and they have long wanted to visit.

It's just that the three of them have been staying in Liaodong with Zhiwen, and they want to see but can't get it, as soon as they heard that they returned to Dalintai, the leaders of the nearby tribes came to visit, and then the news continued to spread, and people from farther away also rushed over one after another, so that Sulut Sude and the two couldn't go back to their own territory.

Although Lin Dan Khan is a puppet, but when these people arrived at Dalintai, they all went to meet him first, and then found three prime ministers to have a long talk, which greatly satisfied Lin Dan Khan's vanity, and it seemed that the glory of the Mongolian co-lord had returned, and even thought it was quite good.

Zhiwen didn't have to get involved in these things, but after going out for so long, the trading company and the union had a lot of things to deal with for him.

In his busy schedule, Zhiwen did not forget those people who were huddled in Liaoyang, and issued a new mission to the Tianzi mercenary group and its attached Dizi mercenary group, since then Liaodong has been open to them, they can be like Ye He and Heishui, capture the Jin people in exchange for money and food, and at the same time fly to Dongjin Mountain, lifting the ban on the two mercenary groups in the mountains going south to the Liaodong Plain.

At the end of Chongzhen's fourth year, he spent it in a hurry.

The mercenary group was far more active than Zhiwen imagined, just after the New Year, Zou Qun and others began to dispatch troops to raise grain and grass, and before the Lantern Festival arrived, they gathered together and marched towards Liaodong.

In less than a month, there was good news, it turned out that these people were not fighting separately, but dividing up the spoils in advance, and then all united, including Ye He and Heishui, two mercenary groups, selected Amin and Zou Qun as the main and deputy commanders, and worked together to conquer Liaoyang.

Then the men with the tail of the money rat, the woman in the cheongsam, in groups were tied by hemp rope, escorted from Liaodong, and stopped for a while in the Dalin Terrace, and after the Zhuolu trade union counted them, they were then let go north, and the destination was Eren Zhuoer Lake, where the heavy work of drying salt, freezing nitrate, and washing wool was waiting for them.

Zhiwen underestimated the mercenary group's desire for wealth before, and also overestimated the stubborn resistance of the remaining Jiannu, from the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, to the middle of August, it took less than a year for the mercenary group to end the hunt in Liaodong, and the Jianzhou Jurchens, as an independent ethnic group, have completely disappeared since then.

The remaining nearly 20,000 remaining people were all concentrated in Erren Zhuoer Lake to do hard labor, and then gradually assimilated by the Mongols.

There was a vacuum in Liaodong, and Ye He and Heishui could be replaced, but these two were not tribes that could reproduce themselves in the true sense, and the families of the Heishui Department were also concentrated in Erren Zhuoer Lake.

And Ye He is purely a mercenary team gathered together for the sake of fighting, although there are not many Han people at present, but they are definitely not small under the influence of the Han people, these simple and simple men, after earning money and food, they also want to marry wives and have children, their homes, most of them are set in Dalintai, and a small number of them choose Zhuoer Lake.

In view of the fact that Liaodong Jiannu could not be caught, and the two mercenary groups of Ye He and Heishui had no source of money and food, Zhiwen set his sights on Mobei, and Mobei Mongolia then became the hunting ground for these two mercenary groups.

Of course, the treatment of Mobei Mongolia can not be like the treatment of the Jin people to catch and kill, but to treat the southern Mongolia method, slowly Tuzhi, in addition to exchanging grain for wool, now there are more green salt and veterinary drugs These sharp weapons, it can be said that there is no disadvantage, and when necessary, you can also use some disgraceful means to deter misdeeds.

This is the strategy of the north, as for the west, Zhiwen encouraged the mercenary group to cross the hometown of the Han tribe and march to Moxi Mongolia, and after that, some bold mercenary groups even ran to the area of Wusizang.

......

At the end of September of the fifth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the gate of Shanhaiguan, which had been closed for a year, was completely opened.

After confirming that the plague had indeed receded, the imperial court finally ordered the Guanning army to go out of the pass to recover its hometown, and Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, finally returned to Ningyuan, where he had been before, and then quickly got in touch with Zu Dashou of Jinzhou and Dalinghe.

Guanning's generals gathered in Ningyuan to discuss what to do next, whether to first strengthen the city defenses that had been abandoned for a year, or go north to investigate the news of Jiannu.

It is ashamed to say that although Jin and Da have not been harassed by Jiannu in the past year, Zu Dashou does not know much about the situation of the Jin people.

Although he had sent Ye Bushu to the north to investigate, he never dared to go deep into the core area of the Later Jin, only knowing that the Jin people had shrunk their sphere of influence, guessing that it was caused by the plague, and the rest was unknown.

Sun Chengzong finally made a decision, sent a small force of more than 1,000 cavalry, marched to the hinterland of Liaodong, and was sure to inquire about the recent situation of Jiannu, and the rest of the people took their respective soldiers to repair the wall of the garrison first.

Half a month later, this cavalry spying on the news returned to Ningyuan, bringing a surprise to Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, and the Ming court, but also a surprise and inexplicable news - the entire Liaodong Plain was desolate, and only occasionally encountered some savage Jurchens who came out of the big and small eastern gold mountains to hunt and fish.

Shengjing and Liaoyang, the hometowns of the Ming Dynasty, including Jiannu's own ancestral land Hetuala, were burned to the ground, and no Jiannu was seen again.

That is to say, the Jianzhou Jurchens, the rebel force that had caused headaches, fears, and deflated one after another since the late Wanli Dynasty, disappeared so inexplicably.

The whole court rejoiced, for the disappearance of Jiannu, they all felt that the plague was raging, resulting in heavy casualties in Jiannu, as for the destroyed cities, most of them were Jiannu's old feud - the savage Jurchen took advantage of the fire to rob the good deeds, which should be the last straw for the destruction of Jiannu.

Chongzhen was overjoyed, after Wanli, Tianqi, and himself, a total of three dynasties of the Eastern Capture border troubles were actually solved in his hands.

Guo Yunhou, the head of the household, was also very happy, although the Shanhaiguan was reopened, but the war had been extinguished, and the Liao salary could be saved a lot.

Subsequently, the cabinet, together with Chongzhen, issued a decree, ordering the Guanning army to go north, recover Shengjing, Liaoyang and other places, and rebuild the Nurgan Dusi. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
