If it is in the Yongle years.

Kaipingwei is the end of the Ming Empire in the southern frontier.

From Gubeikou, that is, north of Miyun Houwei to south of Kaipingwei, a large piece of fertile soil in the entire Luanhe River Basin was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

It was only later in the Xuande period that because of the short-sightedness of the civilian clique, they took the initiative to give up these territories as if they had given up Jiaozhi.

The imperial court dominated by the civil official group was always unenterprising, and only knew how to reduce the operating costs of the imperial court as much as possible to create a prosperous era.

This short-sightedness led to the fact that the current Ming Empire now had to reclaim these territories with steel knives and steel guns, and they had to be redeveloped.

In other words, now the Ming Guards have come to Kaipingwei just to recover the lost territory.

Of course.

The Duoyan Sanwei near Kaipingwei, that is, the Wuliangha tribe, did not make good use of Kaipingwei, so that the current Kaiping Acropolis is still just a ruin.

The Karaqin tribe was a relatively small tribe, so they would not take the initiative to attack when they knew that the main force of the Ming army was present.

But the Uliangha were the largest of the Mongol tribes of the Ming Dynasty that bordered from Liaodong to Xuanfu.

Moreover, this Wuliangha and Horqin belong to a tribe with a relatively good relationship, and since the beginning of the Xuande period, the Horqin Department has been supporting Wuliangha to go south to invade the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the guards have entered Kaipingwei, these Uliangha tribes have naturally not let the guards pass through Kaipingwei as easily as the Karaqin tribe.

Therefore, after the Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army and Li Dingguo's Department entered Kaipingwei, they learned from Jinyiwei that 30,000 Uliangha cavalry were coming to Kaipingwei, with the intention of eating the Ming army.

For this reason, Li Dingguo's department took the initiative to act as a decoy and introduced 30,000 Uliangha cavalry into the ambush circle set up in advance by the Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards.

The 30,000 Uliangha cavalry were inflicted many casualties by the artillery of the Second Guards Army, and when the infantry and cavalry charged, the Uliangha cavalry fled directly into the wilderness, leaving tens of thousands of corpses.

The army of the Ming Dynasty was already in a state of invincibility on the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Tartars was no longer able to pose any threat to the Ming army.

After the defeat of the Uliangha, its tribal leaders had to move their tribes to the eastern part of Liaodong as well.

The army of the Ming Dynasty did not march immediately, but successively selected officials in the area of Kaipingwei and Daning Prefecture, preparing to repair the city and reclaim the wasteland, and re-divert these territories that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty into the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

The news of the defeat of the 30,000 cavalry of the Uliangha tribe also reached the Chahar department.

The tribal leader of the Chahar tribe was very panicked, he knew that his tribe was no longer able to compete with the Ming Dynasty, and Horqin was a very large tribe, and he could not compete with it, so he turned to attack the Lin Dan Khan tribe in the north, and the whole tribe naturally migrated in the direction of the Lin Dan Khan tribe.

As a result, the Second Corps of the Second Guards Army successfully occupied the territory of the Chahar tribe.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty in Monan has finally made a breakthrough compared with the Yongle period and is no longer retreating.

After occupying the two regions of Chahar and Uliangha, the Ming army also directly entered the territory of the Horqin tribe.

The Horqin tribe is the largest tribe in the entire northeastern region of Monan.

In addition, the tribe has always had a close relationship with Jianlu, so it has been taken care of by Jianlu a lot, and now it can be regarded as a strong tribe in the entire Monan region.

The Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army and Li Dingguo's troops also did not immediately enter the Horqin tribe, but rested and assembled in the Tainingwei area, and at the same time to prepare for the Horqin tribe from raiding their own rear roads.

However, what Li Dingguo and Jiao Lian and others did not expect was that the cavalry of the Horqin Department really had the intention of sneaking up on the rear of the Second Corps of the Second Army of the Ming Guards.

After all, now any Mongol tribe knew that their cavalry was no longer a match for the mixed arms of the Ming infantry and cavalry.

Therefore, the Horqin tribe also knew that even if their tribe was strong and strong, they could not compete with the Ming Dynasty head-on, so they also adopted the technique of splitting the way to sneak attack, trying to disturb the rear of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to admit that this countermeasure of the Horqin tribe is very vicious.

The Ming Dynasty now occupies a lot of new territory, and a large number of Xinfu Zhou counties have appeared, and these Xinfu Zhou counties are naturally thin in defense, so it is most convenient for the Horqin cavalry to carry out guerrilla tactics to break through.

But what the Horqin tribe would not have thought of was that the Ming Dynasty had already established Monan Province and set up a governor of Monan.

Now, as soon as Chen Zilong arrived, Mo Nan added a large number of garrisons behind the main force of the Guards in Horqin in the east, and continued to build countless castles, walls, and communication trenches.

A large area was built with wire and wooden fences, while the vicinity of the castle was dominated by walls.

The grasslands of the entire Ming occupation area in Monan have been cut in just half a year, and the Ming Dynasty has cut them into squares with walls and barbed wire, and there is only one official road between each square, and there is a central castle in each square.

As soon as the Horqin cavalry rushed into these places, it was like entering a labyrinth, and they would be attacked by the Monan army and merchant forces in various castles, and the small-scale ones would even be directly annihilated, and the large-scale ones would be intercepted and annihilated by the main force of the Guards.

The Horqin tribe had to give up the tactics of sneaking into the rear of the Ming Dynasty, and had to move north with their own troops and the Manchu forces such as Shunzhi who had taken refuge.

After learning that the enemy attacks on the various units in the Monan area had decreased, the Second Corps of the Second Guards Army and Li Dingguo's troops continued to advance towards the Horqin tribal area at this time.

The Horqin tribe is the largest tribe in the left-wing Mongolia, and the territory it owns is also the largest in the left-wing Mongolia, so when the Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards entered the Horqin Division, it almost traveled for a long time before reaching the area where the royal court of the Horqin Division was located.

However, at this time, most of the main forces of the Korqin tribe had already entered the area of Nuergandusi with the remnants of the Jianlu from the main settlement area of the Evenks, that is, the birthplace of the Jianguo.

The Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army simply launched an attack on the Yehe Division, and after annihilating the main force of the Yehe Division, it directly moved south from Kaiyuan to the south and carried out a north-south flanking attack on Jianyu with the First Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army.

At this time, the Horqin Department and the remnants of Jianlu did not know that they had fallen into the situation of being attacked by the Ming army from the north and south, and they were still advancing in the area controlled by the Haixi Jurchen Yuan.

The leader of the Horqin tribe now regrets that he formed an alliance with Jianlu, he didn't expect Jianguo to quickly decay to such a situation after entering the customs, he sometimes really wanted to betray Jianlu and form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, but he had to be afraid that Jianlu still had a complete combat power of the Zhenghong Banner and the Red Banner.

Coupled with the fact that Daming maintained a tough attitude towards the tribes on the grassland, the leader of the Horqin tribe could only accompany his maternal relatives to build and love the Xinjueluo family and continue to live a life of exile.
