Chapter 515: The Situation in Liaodong
There are many ways to eliminate a nation, but in general, there are only two kinds of methods, one is from the spirit, and the other is from the **, the first of which is very troublesome to operate, especially in the era of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty in foreign wars, most of the elimination of a nation is the second method.

To eliminate a nation from the **, this method generally has to pay a certain price, but it is also the most simple and effective, for example, Li Anliang's method to the Jurchens is to eliminate the Jurchens from the **, and whenever he breaks through a village, he will order a massacre of the Jurchens in the village, for them, the best Jurchens are the dead Jurchens.
It took eight days for Li Anliang to clean up the right guard of Jianzhou, as long as there were no Jurchens who escaped, all of them were slaughtered by him, and a considerable number of the Jurchens of the left guard of Jianzhou fled here, and then in the center of the plain where the Jurchens lived, Li Anliang used the heads of the Jurchens to build a huge Jingguan again.
Then Li Anliang did not have any stay, and sent the last Jianzhou Wei again, but at this time, Jianzhou Wei had already learned about the massacre policy of the Ming army against the Jurchens from some of the left and right guards who fled to them, which also made Jianzhou Wei very frightened, with their strength, the guard will definitely not be able to hold it, and in the end, I am afraid that it will end up with the same fate as the right guard of Jianzhou, but if you escape, with the cruel winter of Liaodong, there are very few people who can survive in the end.
Jianzhouwei was faced with a dilemma, no matter which one they chose, they would pay a huge price, but in the end, after careful consideration, Jianzhouwei still decided to choose to flee into the mountains, after all, staying would definitely be lifeless. And there was still a chance of life when they fled into the mountains, so in this case, the Jurchens of Jianzhou Wei finally made a difficult decision, that is, to enter the mountains before the arrival of the Ming army. And also to spend a cold winter in the mountains.
That's why. So when Li Anliang led the army to the settlement of Jianzhouwei, what he saw was an empty village. However, Li Anliang had already expected this situation, after all, the Jurchens were not fools, and they knew that staying was a dead end. Naturally, they would look for other ways out, and escaping into the mountains was the only way out for them.
Li Anliang led the army to the residential area of Jianzhou Wei and saw the empty village, and immediately asked people to check and control the route of the Jurchens into the mountains, after all, the mountains in eastern Liaodong are all covered by mountains and forests, and there are tigers, black bears, wild boars and other fierce beasts living in the mountains and forests, so the route of the Jurchens into the mountains will definitely be carefully chosen, rather than intruding into the mountains and forests at will. Otherwise, it is not a flight, but a direct entry into the mountains and forests to die.
After the people sent out found out the route of the Jurchens into the mountain, Li Anliang couldn't help but have a headache, because the other party was actually divided into five routes. Drilling into the mountains and forests from five directions, this is also a way for the Jurchens to prevent them from following and pursuing, after all, Li Anliang is not familiar with the mountains and forests of Liaodong, which also makes him dare not divide his troops to pursue at all.
However, for the situation in front of them, Li Anliang and they had also expected in advance, and they had already speculated in advance, according to their estimates, the Jurchens entered the mountains in several ways, on the one hand, to prevent them from pursuing, on the other hand, it was also to increase the hope of survival of some tribes, after all, the environment in the mountains was harsh, especially in winter, not only it was difficult to find food, but whenever heavy snow fell, the mountains and forests would be completely isolated from the outside world, and then they would have to stay in the mountains for a winter. Coupled with the severe cold of winter, if they fail to find a safe and warm place to live, I am afraid that they will all freeze to death in the mountains, and dividing into several parts increases their chances of survival.
Even the Jurchens who are familiar with the mountains and forests have to make the above preparations before entering the mountains in winter, not to mention Li Anliang and their Ming army, so no matter how much Li Anliang hates the Jurchens, he does not dare to take all his troops to the mountains to die, but begins to divide troops and garrison them in the villages of Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Right Guard, as for the villages of Jianzhou Left Guard, they were burned by him, so as not to be used by those Jurchens from the mountains.
Just when Li Anliang was planning to settle down in the territory of the Jurchens and spend this cold winter, in their southwest Daningwei, Zhengde was also preparing for the army to spend the winter.
Speaking of the fact that after subduing Duoyanwei and Taining Wei from Zhengde, he has been staying in Daning and standing still, on the one hand, in order to sit in Liaodong, so that there will be no changes in the southern region of Liaodong that has just been recovered, and on the other hand, Zhengde is also stepping up time to integrate the cavalry of Duoyan and Taining, which is also one of the main reasons why he attacked Liaodong at the beginning.
Hua when these leaders of Hua Yan Wei and Tai Ning Wei have been sent to the capital by Zhengde to be confined, and the remaining ordinary herdsmen are also officially accepted by Zhengde as the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and also allow merchants to enter Liaodong to buy wool and other goods from the herdsmen, as a result, these herdsmen quickly tasted the sweetness from it, and they are also accustomed to the changes brought by the Ming commodities to their lives, which makes the connection between them and the Ming Dynasty more and more close, if they want to maintain the current standard of living, they can only rely on the Ming Dynasty to live, Otherwise, you can only return to the original living environment without any security.
With the return of the two Mongols of Duoyanwei and Tainingwei, Zhengde's integration of the Mongolian cavalry also began to enter a critical stage, he gathered the adult men of these two divisions, removed the men who were too old or too young, and the physical conditions were not suitable, and the remaining total of 33,000 people were obtained, and these more than 30,000 people will be the main cavalry of the Ming Dynasty against the Mongols in the future.
However, the Ming Dynasty has always had a suspicious attitude towards foreign races, even if it is sure that the cavalry of Duoyan and Taining will not dare to rebel again, but Zhengde is still not at ease, so Zhengde selected 27,000 Han people from the border army of the Ming Dynasty, and put them together with more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry to form a huge cavalry of 60,000 people, and began to practice every day, each of those excellent Mongolian cavalry with a Han cavalry, so that the Han cavalry can improve the cavalry skills as soon as possible, and strive to make this cavalry form combat strength as soon as possible.
In addition, in order to ensure the absolute rule of the Ming Dynasty over this cavalry, Zhengde is ready to replace all the officers of this cavalry with cadets who graduated from the cavalry section of the military academy, but because the number of this cavalry is too large, the cadets who graduated from the cavalry section of the military academy in the past two years are simply not enough, and finally Zhengde has to draw a group of students from the cavalry section of the military academy who have not graduated, and this group of young cadets will study while serving in the army, and as long as they serve in the army for two years and have no fault, the military academy will also issue them a graduation certificate.
Under the integration of Zhengde, this huge cavalry mixed with Han and Mongolia finally slowly took shape, and began intense training, and Zhengde after careful consideration, this huge cavalry was named "Fire Dragon Cavalry", Daming belongs to Huode, and the dragon refers to this cavalry commanded by Zhengde, the true dragon emperor, the whole army is uniformly wearing red armor, when the war horse gallops, the whole cavalry is like a fire dragon churning.
However, although the fire dragon cavalry is basically formed, there are still many internal problems, if you want to make the fire dragon cavalry form combat power, you must solve the internal problems, such as the Mongols are born cavalry, but they are very loose, and do not like to be constrained by military discipline, and although the Han cavalry is used to obeying orders, but there is a gap with the Mongols in riding and shooting, resulting in the cavalry can not form a cooperation with each other, let alone fully exert the power of the cavalry.
It is precisely because of this, so Zhengde has been busy solving the internal problems of the fire dragon riding during this time, according to the characteristics of the Mongols and the Han people, they have developed corresponding training, in addition to the training at the same time, Zhengde did not forget to cultivate the feelings between the Mongols and the Han people, and even mixed the Han and the Mongols to live together, usually also organized a lot of entertainment activities, deepen the understanding between each other, although the estrangement between the ethnic groups can not be eliminated in a day or two, but with the passage of time, It can always let them cultivate a certain affection for each other, which is also more conducive to the Ming Dynasty's control of this cavalry.
In addition to the training of fire dragon riders, Zhengde is most concerned about Li Anliang's war against the Jurchens, since Li Anliang's raid on the Jianzhou Left Guard succeeded, he sent a messenger every other day to report his war against the Jurchens to Zhengde in detail, so Zhengde is also very aware of Li Anliang's actions.
In addition, Li Anliang also needs strong logistical support in the war against the Jurchens, after all, they are alone in the depths, if there is no logistical support, I am afraid that let alone a war, just the daily consumption can drag down the entire army.
When Li Anliang sent the results of the decisive battle between himself and Jianzhou Sanwei to Zhengde, and at the same time the heads of Fuman and others, this made Zhengde also very excited, because this marked that the Jianzhou Jurchen had been completely defeated by the Ming Dynasty, even if Li Anliang could not completely exterminate the Jianzhou Jurchens, this Jurchen would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future.
And after the Jianzhou Jurchen was eliminated, the only remaining Funingwei in the Duoyan Sanwei was in danger of being attacked by the Ming Dynasty on both sides, whether it was the Zhengde army in the south or the Li Anliang army in the east, they could attack Funingwei at any time, in the face of this situation, as long as the leader of Funingwei still had a little brain, he could make a wise choice now.
Sure enough, Zhengde didn't wait too long, a few days later, when the news that the Jianzhou Jurchens were exterminated by the Ming Dynasty spread throughout Liaodong, Fu Ningwei was also frightened, and immediately sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible, showing his determination to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and how to arrange the tribe in the future? Everything is subject to the decision of Da Ming.
