The Tartars have no future, or hopeless. An internal split undoubtedly accelerated the process of its demise, and the harsh living environment in the northeast was also a difficulty for the Tartars. Jiannu, who was beaten back to the state of fishing and hunting, can only survive now, counting the days to live.

Zhuo Butai and Dafu led their troops to Ningguta, and the lost territory of Liaodong was recovered one after another in the armed march of the Ming army. Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling, Benxi, Kuandian, plus Korea, the Ming army formed an encirclement of Jianzhouwei based on these points.

It's time to temporarily stop the strategic offensive and run Liaodong first. Zhu Yongxing was reluctant in his heart, but the situation dictated. The more the Ming army advanced inland, the greater the difficulties it faced, and the materials consumed and the logistical personnel needed increased by a large amount, and this was a problem that had to be solved.

You must know that the Northeast at that time was indeed the Great Northern Wilderness. Even the later Changchun of Jilin Province, now there is no appearance of the city, the history is two hundred years later to build the wooden wall, with the name of Changchun.

So, does this mean that the Tartars have achieved their purpose of respite? If you know the plan of the Ming army, then look at the shape of the two sides, and the financial tension of the Ming court gradually eases. I know it's not that simple.

From the history of the Ming army's conquest, it can be clearly seen that its dependence on the naval division, whether it is a roundabout landing, raiding and containment, or material transportation, waterways and ships have played a great role. The same is true of the war in Liaodong, the Bohai Sea, the Liao River, and the Yalu River. They are all important routes for the Ming army to transport personnel and materials. As the battlefield moves deeper and deeper inland, the logistical pressure also increases greatly, and transportation is changed from waterway to land, which requires greater investment and more manpower.

Of course, difficulties can be overcome, but this is not the main reason why the Ming army temporarily entered the rest and recuperation, but the Ming army has a better way. The tenacity of the infantry, the tight battle formation, and the strong firepower were the advantages of the Ming army. And the cavalry was small in number. Poor maneuverability was also a disadvantage of the Ming army, but the situation was being resolved at a rapid pace.

The border markets were bartered with each other, which seemed to be a fair exchange, but because the Mongolian tribes had a single commodity and only livestock and furs, they were in a very passive and disadvantaged situation. The goods of the Ming Kingdom are diverse. There are also luxury goods such as mirrors and silks, which make great profits in the border trade. To know. In the current border market, a round mirror the size of a palm has to be replaced by two or three horses, and a half-person-high dressing mirror costs dozens of horses.

Of course, luxury goods were only affordable for the upper echelons of Mongolia, but many other goods still brought a large number of horses, cattle and sheep to the Ming Kingdom. Plus the temporary alliance of the Chahar Ministry. The number of war horses in the Ming army was greatly increased.

Even though the hussars had a long training cycle and high requirements for horses and horsemanship, the dragoons were easily expanded. Because, the requirements for war horses are not high, and as long as the musketeers learn to ride horses. It can be assigned to the dragoons, a very simple requirement.

In other words, the Ming army's future operations in the northeast will be dominated by cavalry. 1,000 hussars, 3,000 dragoons, 1,000 carts, battalion guns, and baggage, every 5,000 people are a combat group, organized as a cavalry brigade; 4,000 infantry, 500 cavalry, 1,000 carts of artillery and cavalry, and the formation of mixed brigades. In the next two or three months of rest and reorganization, the Northeast Military District plans to form at least three cavalry brigades and six mixed brigades as an attack force to destroy the Tartars.

Two or three months later, in the autumn, or at the end of autumn and winter, the Ming army would make another big move, with the minimum aim of driving the Tartars out of Jianzhou and forcing them to move north again. With no house, no food, and little clothing, this winter is destined to be cold to the bones for Jiannu.

In addition to resting, reorganizing, and training, the more than 100,000 Ming troops will also build a large number of houses, all of which have ondols, some of which will be used as barracks, so that the soldiers can spend the cold winter comfortably, and some of them will prepare for the arrival of veterans and new immigrants.

According to the construction plan of the Northeast, the villages are separated by a maximum of 15 miles, and each village has at least 20 households; Within thirty miles there should be large market towns, each with at least 100 households. First along the traffic line, and then the road will continue to expand; The distribution of points and lines is followed by extension. After introducing unprecedented preferential policies, the Ming court was ready to make a large amount of investment in the northeast, first building Liaodong as a strong backing for the Northeast Military Region.

Operating while fighting, or expanding while operating, has always been one of Zhu Yongxing's development ideas. Thousands of miles out of the fortress, sealing the wolf and dwelling in Xu, although it is strong, but it lacks the means to stabilize the occupation later. And this kind of practice of occupying one place and consolidating one place is slow, but it is solid and reliable.

The strategic offensive was already irreversible, and it didn't give the Tartars much time to recover from slowing down, accumulating strength, and then striking a fierce punch. Spring ploughing is too early, and the crops are not as diverse as under the Ming Dynasty, what can you do in two or three months? Whether it is enough to rush to plant and harvest a season of grain, or to produce tens of millions of more troops, to be honest, nothing is enough.

It is said that the harsh natural environment can exercise people's physique and hone their spiritual will, but there is also a saying that "it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift". In the Central Plains, who are accustomed to living a good life, and the Manchu people who have fallen and corrupted under the feeding of hardcore crops are probably only full of complaints and resentments, and if they want to regain their strength, I am afraid that they can only wait for the next generation to grow up from the bitter cold.

But such an opportunity is almost gone, the Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, from cavalry to various equipment, and the Ming country's financial, material and human resources are growing rapidly, and the gap will not only not narrow, but will get bigger and bigger. To the north, to the north, and then to the north, who knows that the Ming territory in Zhu Yongxing's mind has no end, no boundaries, and no satisfaction?

Advance steadily, seize one land and occupy one land, and advance all the way to Yaksa (the left bank of the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River. on the other side of the mouth of the Emur River in present-day Mohe County), and then fought against a new enemy, the Tsarist invaders. This may be a few years later, but the thieves and bandits of hundreds of old hairy people will not become the climate. The key lies in the development and construction of the Northeast, because without a population to settle down and to cultivate for self-sufficiency, the region cannot be stabilized. It lacks the confidence and stamina to continue to expand.

For the same reason, Tsarist Russia did not have enough population to stabilize the gains of aggression, let alone the strength to invest huge manpower and material resources in Siberia for a protracted war.

Jinzhou wins, Gaizhou wins, Anshan wins; Jinzhou was recovered, Liaoyang was restored, Shenyang was recovered, and Liaodong was recovered. A series of victories, a series of news of the reconquest of the land. In the land of China, a wave of celebration was set off again.

From Wanli, to the Apocalypse, to Chongzhen, Jiannu from Houjin, to the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming army was repeatedly defeated. In the end, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, swept the world, and was bloody everywhere. almost died in the Han family. Now it has finally been overturned, and people not only have the joy of raising their eyebrows. It is full of excitement and pleasure of revenge.

"Straight to the Yellow Dragon, sweep away all the species." "Exterminate Jiannu, and leave no chickens and dogs." Arguments like these began to spread among the people, and they may be radical, but they reveal confidence in the country, the government, and the army. And after faith, there is a more stable state of mind. Jiannu is already surviving. It will no longer be the scourge of the Ming Dynasty, and the decades of war will finally pass, and peace will come again.

As the saying goes: I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled person. This may be extreme, but it can show the most simple aspirations of the common people. There was no war. There is no displacement, even if you live a little poorer and harder, you can bear it. And now it is not only not poverty, but a very bright prospect, and the loose and preferential policies have filled people with the motivation to struggle.

Rich countries and strong soldiers may not be very accurate. Now the imperial court advocates the prosperity of the people first, and the second is the prosperity of the country and the strengthening of the army. In other words, the imperial court may not drain the money from the pockets of the common people in the name of such as "strengthening the country", but will "keep the wealth for the people", and then pursue the enhancement of national and military strength.

It is the country that is strong, and the people are rich; Or when the people are rich, the country will be strong? This is a matter of opinion and wisdom, which may be debated for a long time, and it will not be an immutable truth. But in Zhu Yongxing's view, he wants the people to do their best to support the government and work together to deal with the difficulties encountered. There's nothing wrong with that in itself. But what can the poor "people" come up with to support the government? Even if you dedicate your "youth" and "life", I am afraid that it will not have the desired effect.

On the other hand, what is the state? The state is made up of the people, and it is every "little self", and it is not an illusory thing. What is the purpose of a strong nation? It is to protect every citizen and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is okay to temporarily sacrifice the interests of the "ego" for the sake of the country's strength, but it is a bit of a step to put the cart before the horse if the "ego" is required to dedicate it for a long time without a corresponding return.

A strong country is the guarantee of the people's prosperity, and the people's prosperity is the foundation of the country's strength. Isn't that right? The strength of the country should be built on the basis of the prosperity of the people. Strength achieved by unifying "thoughts" is like a doping athlete, which is temporary and deformed.

This conclusion has been proved by the recovery and reconstruction of the South and the North. When the common people become rich, they are more willing to support the country in order to preserve their current interests and a stable environment. In fact, if we carefully analyze and study, we can see that the Ming army's successive victories were inseparable from the extensive support and help of the people.

……………

Mingjun? Spirit? Zhu Yongxing does not agree with this, where is there a Ming Jun who is satisfied with the fact that as long as the people do not starve to death, where is there a prosperous era of eating sweet potatoes and potatoes?

Of course, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step. Limited by the financial constraints, Zhu Yongxing can only be patient and slowly achieve his goals. But the actual change was surprisingly optimistic, and the easing of fiscal problems came a long time earlier than expected.

This is mainly due to the people's earnest and energetic work; Thanks to the development of commerce and trade, it has also promoted the development of banking business; Thanks to the war of aggression, a large amount of money, grain and materials were plundered; Thanks to the new establishment of the dynasty, most of the officials are still honest and hardworking......
