Chapter 504: Recovering the Two Guards

Zhengde's sneak attack this time was fully prepared, and a ring was set of rings, when Hua Dang was driven out of the barracks by artillery, and fell into the ambush of the Ming army, the result was that the left and right rushed had no effect, but let their side suffer heavy casualties, and when it was dawn, Hua Dang found that after the melee in the middle of the night, his cavalry had lost nearly one-third, and the rest were all wounded, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, on the other hand, the Ming army on the opposite side was in good spirits, because the number of Ming was twice as many as theirs, The wounded have long since been replaced.

At this time, Huadang was already sleepy, and after dawn, the possible loopholes in the Ming army's encirclement had also been filled, so if he wanted to rush out again, there was basically no chance, and even as long as Zhengde worked harder, he could completely annihilate all the forces of Duo Yanwei.

In this hopeless situation of escape, Hua Dang made a decision again, that is, to surrender to Zhengde, anyway, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, and they have tried their best, and there is only one way to die in battle, and in the survival law of the grassland people, as long as people are alive, then there is still hope for everything, so for the current Huadang, the most important thing now is how to save his life.

For Huadang's decisive choice to surrender, Zhengde was a little puzzled at first, after all, Huadang had shown a posture of wanting to fight with them endlessly, but now it was only surrounded, and the other party still had nearly 20,000 cavalry in his hands, and it may not be without a fight, so in Zhengde's view, Huadang was far from a desperate situation, but the other party surrendered unexpectedly. He couldn't figure it out anyway.

But soon Jiang Bin helped Zhengde explain the rules of survival of the grassland people. And for a tribal head like Hua Dang. If the cavalry under his command suffered serious losses, then even if he could escape, he would definitely be criticized by the tribe, and even lose the position of the tribal leader, and the other tribes around him would also be eyeing them, so Hua Dang could not afford to lose, and now he can only choose to surrender in this situation.

understood Huadang's wishful thinking, and Zhengde quickly thought of a countermeasure. He personally received the envoys sent by Hua Dang to discuss surrender, and then promised the other party that as long as Hua Dang asked the troops to lay down their arms and obey the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty, then he could guarantee the safety of their tribal leaders, and even gave them an official reward.

Hua Dang was naturally very excited when he learned that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had promised it personally, and he also knew that the real target of the Ming Dynasty was the little prince of Tatar, not his own small tribe in Liaodong. Even if Da Ming wants to conquer the grassland, he may have to rely on his own strength. So after thinking about it for nearly a day, he finally decided to surrender to Da Ming, and all the Duoyanwei soldiers laid down their weapons, even the war horses were handed over to Da Ming.

After Zhengde accepted Duoyanwei's surrender, it was indeed as said before, he did not go back on his word, but really ensured the safety of Huadang and other Duoyantou people, and even sealed them with an official position of the Ming Dynasty, but what Huadang never expected was that all of them had to move to Beijing City to live, and without the order of the Ming Emperor, they would never return to the grassland. It was only at this time that Hua Dang understood that he had fallen into the hands of Emperor Zhengde, he was going to treat himself as a puppet, completely elevate himself from Duoyanwei, and after arriving in the capital, he had to be a man with his tail between his legs like a dog, and he was no longer the grassland eagle that crisscrossed Liaodong.

It's a pity that it's too late to understand at this time, Duoyanwei's cavalry has been disarmed by the Ming Dynasty, and there are not even horses, if you show dissatisfaction and resistance at this time, it can only lead to the slaughter of the Ming Dynasty, Hua Dang doesn't think that the Ming army will be so merciful, these border troops have always been very cruel to kill their grassland people.

People under the eaves, had to bow their heads, although Hua Dang was extremely angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, in the end he could only take his family, as well as the leaders of Duo Yanwei, escorted by a Ming army to Beijing City, where Zhou Zhong had built a luxurious prison for them, and they didn't want to come out again after entering.

With the surrender of Duoyanwei, the Liaodong Army and Li Anliang's Wa State Servant Army also fought very smoothly against Tainingwei, Tainingwei was originally the weakest of the three guards of Duoyan, and the number of troops they faced was 10,000 more than that of Duoyanwei, which made Tainingwei not dare to fight the Ming army head-on, so he could only send a group of rangers to fight, using this method to drag the pace of the Ming army, and then transfer their tribe to the direction of Daning, where Duoyanwei was located, after all, in their opinion, they dispersed their forces to deal with the Ming army, it is better to join forces with Duoyanwei, maybe you can repel one of the Ming troops.

But it's a pity that Tai Ningwei didn't have time to join up with Duo Yanwei, and he received the news that Duo Yan Wei surrendered to Daming, and as a result, Tai Ning Wei almost made the decision to surrender at the same time, after all, their strength is not a little worse than Duo Yan Wei, even Duo Yan Wei surrendered, and they Tai Ning Wei naturally had no other choice.

Duoyan Sanwei has two guards surrendered one after another, and now the northernmost Funingwei has not responded, speaking of which Funingwei and Duoyanwei were a little disagreeable, and the two sides also had several infighting, just because Funingwei is not strong enough, so he can only stay in the northernmost part of Sanwei, compared to the conditions, the conditions are relatively bad, and the communication between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming is also the least, this time the Ming Dynasty attacked Duoyanwei and Tainingwei, Funingwei has not reacted, and now the two guards surrendered, Funingwei is still in a wait-and-see state, It seems that there is still some luck mentality.

For Fu Ningwei's plan, Zhengde also guessed, but he didn't plan to use troops this time, but stationed the army in Daning, on the one hand, to rest and rectify, on the other hand, it is also to digest the land population of Duoyanwei and Tainingwei, especially the middle-aged men in these two guards, as long as they are slightly rectified, they can set up a good Mongolian cavalry, which is also one of the original intentions of the original decision to attack Duoyan Sanwei, and if the Ming Dynasty wants to rule the grassland in the future, it must have a cavalry that forms a scale, The training of the Han cavalry not only takes time, but also consumes huge financial and material resources, so these Mongolian cavalry has become a cheap option, plus the original Ming cavalry mixed formation, such cavalry is enough for the Ming to use.

However, in order to ensure the loyalty of the Mongolian cavalry in this cavalry, it is far from enough to mix the Han and Mongolians, and the Mongolian tribes of Duoyan and Taining Erwei will also be fully incorporated into the rule of the Ming Dynasty, such as Zhengde began to build fortresses and cement roads in Liaodong, and then migrated Han people from Hebei to settle down, and there are also merchants of the Ming Dynasty, who also rushed to order wool, with these, the tribes of Duoyan and Taining Erwei are closely combined with the Ming Dynasty, and the cavalry of these two guards will go out in the future. Their family is in the hands of Da Ming, so naturally they don't dare to give birth to two hearts easily.

If you want to completely digest Duoyan and Taining two guards, it will naturally take a while, but Zhengde doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, the army is all stationed in the Daning area, and the daily drills are continuous, and by the way, the Mongolian cavalry of Duoyan and Taining and Taining are mixed with the Han cavalry, and some adaptive training is carried out, although there are still such and such problems, but in general it is developing in a good direction.

For the stagnant move of the Ming army, the northern Funingwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, from the current signs that the military target of the Ming Dynasty this time should only be Duoyan and Taining two guards, after all, these two guards were originally with the Ming Dynasty, and usually had the most contact with the Ming Dynasty, but every time they went south to plunder, Funingwei because it was some distance from the Ming Dynasty, so it was difficult to go south, perhaps it was for this reason, so the Ming Dynasty did not do anything to them Funingwei.

However, Funingwei is obviously a little too optimistic, what they don't know is that when Zhengde was busy digesting Duoyan and Taining Erwei, the 50,000 servant army led by Li Anliang, and the 10,000 Xuanfu border army quietly left Daning, through Guangning and the original Liaodong Dusi, all the way to the northeast, the target is directly located in the east of Funingwei Jurchen tribe, if the Ming Dynasty will conquer the Jurchen tribe, then Funingwei will face the situation of being attacked on both sides, if it does not want to surrender, it can only move north.

With the deepening of autumn, the Liaodong Plain has become very cold, the leaves on the trees are slowly falling, the weeds on the ground have turned golden, and the animals are also seizing the last time to store food and fat, in order to be able to survive this harsh winter, but this year some animals are very unlucky, because when an army of tens of thousands of people passes through their habitat, many of these animals cannot escape the poisonous hands of the army, becoming a special meal in the army.

Li Anliang walked in the forefront with his 50,000 Japanese servant army, in the previous war against Tainingwei, they had no large-scale contact with Tainingwei at all, and the small group of Taining cavalry was also intercepted by the Liaodong cavalry, so his servant army hardly had any chance to kill the enemy, which also made these servant troops still maintain a complete establishment.

But this is also what Li Anliang wants to see, after all, when he returns to Liaodong this time, the main enemy is those barbaric Jurchens, and at the same time, they are also the enemies who slaughtered their whole family and did not share the sky, for this opportunity to take revenge, he has been waiting for many years, and even paid a lot for it, and now he has finally waited for this opportunity, so he must maintain the maximum combat strength of this servant army under his command, only in this way can he avenge the family who died tragically!
