There are many ways to eliminate a nation, but in general, there are only two ways to eliminate a nation. One is spiritually and the other is physically. The first method is very troublesome to operate, especially in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in foreign wars, the second method was mostly adopted.

This method usually costs a certain price to eliminate a nation physically, but it is also the simplest and most effective. For example, the method Li Anliang has implemented on the Jurchens now is to eliminate the Jurchens physically. Whenever he breaks 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. He slaughtered all the Jurchens who did not escape. Among them, there were a considerable number of the Jurchens who escaped here. Then, in the center of the plain where the Jurchens lived, Li Anliang used the Jurchens' heads to build a huge Jingguan again.

Next, Li Anliang did not stop at all and sent the last Jianzhou Guards again. However, at this time, the Jianzhou Guards had learned from the Ming army's massacre policy of the Jurchens by the left and right guards who fled to them. This also frightened the Jianzhou Guards. With their strength, they would definitely not be able to defend, and they would end up with the same fate as the Jianzhou Guards. But if they escaped, with the extremely cruel winter in Liaodong, there were very few people who could survive in the end.

Jianzhou Wei faced a dilemma. No matter which one he chose, they would pay a huge price. However, after careful consideration, Jianzhou Wei decided to choose to escape into the mountains. After all, staying would definitely be lifeless, and there was still a glimmer of life to escape into the mountains. So in this case, the Jurchens of Jianzhou Wei finally made a difficult decision. That was to enter the mountains before the Ming army came, and to spend a cold winter in the mountains.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Anliang led the army to the settlement of Jianzhou Wei, he saw an empty village. However, Li Anliang and the others had expected this situation. After all, the Jurchens were not fools. Even though they knew that staying was a dead end, they would naturally look for other ways out, and escaping into the mountains was their only way out.

Li Anliang brought the army to the residential area of ​​Jianzhouwei and saw the empty villages. He immediately asked people to investigate the route of the Jurchens to enter the mountain. After all, the mountains in Liaodong are all covered by mountains and forests, and beasts such as tigers, black bears, wild boars live in the forests. Therefore, the route of the Jurchens to enter the mountain will definitely be carefully chosen, rather than breaking into the forest at will, otherwise it would not be a escape, but to go directly into the forest to die.

After the sent out people found out the route of the Jurchens to enter the mountain, Li Anliang couldn't help but feel headache because the other party was divided into five routes and entered the forest from five directions. This was also the way for the Jurchens to prevent them from following and pursuing. After all, Li Anliang and the others were not familiar with the mountains and forests in Liaodong, which made him dare not divide his troops to pursue them.

However, Li Anliang and the others had expected this situation in advance, and they had already made speculations in advance. According to their estimates, the Jurchens were divided into several routes into the mountains, on the one hand to prevent them from chasing them. On the other hand, it was also to increase the hope of some tribes to survive. After all, the environment in the mountains is harsh, especially in winter, not only is it difficult to find food, but whenever it snows heavily, the mountains and forests will be completely isolated from the outside world. Then they will have to stay in the mountains for a winter. In addition, the severe cold in winter, if they cannot find a safe and warm place to live, they may really freeze to death in the mountains, and the division into several parts increases their chances of survival.

Even the Jurchens who were familiar with the mountains had to make such preparations as above before entering the mountains in winter. Not to mention the Ming army like Li Anliang. So no matter how much Li Anliang hated the Jurchens, he did not dare to bring all his troops to the mountains to die. Instead, he began to divide his troops to garrison in the villages of Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Youwei. As for the villages of Jianzhou Zuowei, they were burned by him to prevent the Jurchens from coming out of the mountains to use them.

Just as Li Anliang was planning to settle down in the territory of the Jurchens and spend this cold winter, Zhengde was also preparing for the army to spend the winter in Daningwei, southwest.

Speaking of which, since Zhengde conquered Duoyanwei and Taining Guard, he has been staying in Daning and holding troops. On the one hand, it was to seize Liaodong, so that there would be no abnormal movements in the newly recovered southern Liaodong area. On the other hand, Zhengde is also stepping up time to integrate the cavalry of Duoyan and Taining Guards, which is also one of the main reasons why he attacked Liaodong at the time.

Huadang, the leaders of Yanwei and Tainingwei were sent to the capital by Zhengde, and the remaining ordinary shepherds were officially adopted by Zhengde as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and merchants were also allowed to enter Liaodong to purchase wool and other goods from the shepherds. As a result, these shepherds quickly tasted the sweetness from it and were also used to the changes brought to their lives by the Ming Dynasty, which made them closer and closer. If they wanted to maintain their current living standards, they could only rely on the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they would have to return to the original living environment without any guarantee.

With the return of the Mongols, Duoyanwei and Tainingwei, Zhengde's integration of Mongolian cavalry began to enter a critical stage. He gathered the adult men in these two sectors, removed the men who were too old or too young, and were not in a suitable physical condition, and the remaining ones were 33,000, which would be the main cavalry in the Ming Dynasty's future battle against Mongolia.

However, the Ming Dynasty always had a skeptical attitude towards the alien race. Even if he was convinced that the cavalry of the Duoyan and Taining guards did not dare to rebel, Zhengde was still worried. Therefore, Zhengde selected 27,000 Han people from the border army of the Ming Dynasty, organized them with more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry to form a huge cavalry of 60,000 people, and began to practice every day. Each of the excellent Mongolian cavalry brought a Han cavalry to allow the Han cavalry to improve the cavalry and shooting skills as soon as possible, and strive to make this cavalry form combat power as soon as possible.

In addition, in order to ensure the absolute rule of the Ming Dynasty over this cavalry, Zhengde was preparing to replace all the officers of this cavalry with cadets who graduated from the cavalry department of the military academy. However, because the number of this cavalry was too large, there were not enough students who graduated from the cavalry department of the military academy in the past two years. In the end, Zhengde had to draw a group of students from the cavalry department of the military academy. This group of young students will work in the army while studying. In the future, as long as they served in the army for two years and were at 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 took shape slowly and began to train intensively. After careful consideration, Zhengde named this huge cavalry "Fire Dragon Cavalry". The Ming Dynasty belonged to Fire De, and the dragon refers to this cavalry being commanded by Zhengde, the true dragon emperor. The soldiers of the entire army were wearing red armor. When the war horses galloped, the entire cavalry was like a fire dragon tumbling.

However, although the Fire Dragon Cavalry is basically formed, there are still many internal problems. If the Fire Dragon Cavalry wants to form combat power, it is necessary to solve the internal problems. For example, the Mongols are all born cavalry, but they are all very casual and do not like to be bound by military discipline. Although the Han cavalry is used to obeying orders, they are somewhat different from the Mongols in cavalry, which makes the cavalry unable to cooperate with each other and cannot fully exert the power of the cavalry.

It is precisely because of this that Zhengde has been busy solving the internal problems of the Fire Dragon Rider during this period. He has formulated corresponding training based on the characteristics of the Mongolians and the Han people. In addition, while training, Zhengde did not forget to cultivate the feelings between the Mongolians and the Han people, and even mixed the Han people with the Mongolians to live together. He also organized a lot of entertainment activities to deepen their understanding. Although the barriers between nations cannot be eliminated in a day or two, as time goes by, they can always cultivate a certain relationship between each other, which is more conducive to the Ming Dynasty's control of this cavalry.

In addition to training the Fire Dragon Knight, what Zhengde is most concerned about is the war between Li Anliang and the Jurchens. Since Li Anliang succeeded in the attack on the left guard of Jianzhou, he sent a messenger every other day to report his war against the Jurchens to Zhengde in detail, so Zhengde is also very familiar with Li Anliang's actions.

In addition, Lee Anliang also needed strong logistics support in the Jurchen war. After all, they were alone and deep. If there was no logistics support, I was afraid that not to mention fighting, just daily consumption could drag down the entire army.

When Li Anliang sent the result of his decisive battle with the three guards of Jianzhou to Zhengde, and there were also heads of Fuman and others, Zhengde was also very excited, because it marked that the Jianzhou Jurchens had been completely defeated by the Ming Dynasty. Even if Li Anliang could not completely wipe out the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Jurchens would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Moreover, after the Jianzhou Jurchens were eliminated, the only remaining Funing Guards among the three Duoyan guards was in danger of being attacked by the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was the Zhengde army in the south or the Li Anliang army in the east, they could attack Funing Guards at any time. Faced with this situation, as long as the leader of the Funing Guards had a little brain, he could make a wise choice now.
