The army went out to fight, and the scales of the armor shone brightly in the sun, like red gold.The [-] elite soldiers of the Beijing camp set out from the capital city, pointing their swords at Nuergan, and headed north with gold and iron horses.

It was already autumn when the troops were dispatched, and the spirit of murder was strong. The autumn wind swept across the fallen leaves, turning them all yellow, and the weather became colder and colder.By the time we enter the northeast from the capital, it is already winter, and the local dripping water will turn into ice, so the Southern Army will definitely not be able to use it, because the water and soil are not acclimatized.Therefore, more than half of Zhu Gaoxuan's [-] troops came from the Northern Parallel Capital Division.

The first Five Military Battalions were established after Zhu Dijing was unable to recover the Beipingdusi. Although the subsequent Five Military Battalions absorbed elite guards from all over the country, the soldiers of the Beipingdusi were still the most brave.

The Northern Parallel Metropolitan Yamen was set up in Daning, and it was composed of Beiping, Nuergan, Liaodong, and Daning.Formerly known as the Northern Expedition led by Zhongshan King Xu Da to destroy the [-] Ming army in the Yuan Dynasty, and later there were soldiers from the Northern Yuan Dynasty who continued to come and surrender.

Although this northern army has lived in Jinling for a long time, as long as they put on armor and carry weapons, they can still crawl and roll in the ice and snow.

……

Marching all the way to the vicinity of Liuhe County, the army camped, and the night was like splashing ink.

Bright lights were burning in the camp, and Zhu Gaoxuan, Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong, and Chi Rong gathered around the desk, studying the information sent by Nuer Gandu Si Kuaima.

"This one is the more detailed information of Nuer Gandusi sent by Liaodong. Let's take a look."

Zhu Gaoyi took out the letter from a secret letter, put it on the desk, and said, "The Jurchen family is divided into Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and Donghai Jurchen. Nuergandu has 180 four guards and more than 20 offices. The guards below serve as local administrative institutions integrating military and government, and the important official positions are all appointed by the imperial court from the interior.”

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoyi couldn't help chuckling.

180 four guards, more than 20 institutes, sounds scary.You must know that the Fifth Army Battalion, which has 16 elite troops, only has 72 guards.

But it is clear that these guards in Nuergandusi are filled with water.The larger ones have hundreds of regular troops, and the smaller ones have only one hundred and eighty regular troops. With the two hundred guards in the entire Nuer Gandu Division added up, it is a question of whether they can gather [-] regular troops.Moreover, not every one of these guards had to be suppressed. Some places were too remote, and some were submissively governed by Han officials.What needs to be suppressed is the guard that has been severely usurped by the Jurchens and poses a threat to Ming Dynasty.

"Jianzhou Jurchen, the main body is divided into Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Zuowei, mainly farming, supplemented by hunting. This is our key target of suppression. The Haixi Jurchen is also called the Hulun Fourth Division and the Haixi Fourth Division. Mainly Yehe tribe, Wula tribe, Huifa tribe, and Hada tribe. The Haixi Jurchen’s lifestyle is a mixture of gathering, fishing and hunting, and farming. They mainly rely on gathering, fishing and hunting. Similar to Jianzhou Jurchen, they are all our key suppression object."

Zhu Gaoxuan continued, "As for the Donghai Jurchen, that is, the savage Jurchen, sometimes they are divided into Beishan Jurchen, Heilongjiang Jurchen and other tribes. Due to the harsh natural environment, backward productivity, and no agriculture, they mainly focus on gathering and hunting. life. The area they live in is too close to the extreme north, and there is no connection with me, Ming. There is no need to suppress it, the benefits are too small, the terrain is too bad, the cost is too high, and the threat is too small."

Zhu Yong picked up a document and glanced at it, and said slowly: "Jianzhou Guard and Jianzhou Zuowei were originally subordinate to the Nuer Gandu Division, but in fact they are mostly under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Commander Division. This is also in our Is it within the suppression range?"

The area under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong capital is not within the scope of the conquest.Even so, Zhu Gaoxuan knew what Zhu Yong was afraid of.

Shi Jianu, commander of the Jianzhou Guard, was named Li Xianzhong in Chinese.The son of Ahachu, chief of the Jurchen Huligai Department.Li has military exploits.In the eighth year of Yongle, the emperor led his subordinates to conquer the Mongolian Tatars and made great military exploits.

But this is not important, what is important is that Li Xianzhong has an older sister named "Three Empresses of the Emperor", who was Zhu Di's concubine when he was in the Yan Palace.It is said that this concubine died before Zhu Di became emperor, but her status is still there.In other words, Li Xianzhong, the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, is Zhu Di's brother-in-law.

Moreover, although Li Xianzhong is a Jurchen, he has military achievements in himself, and he is still loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

"Whether it's Jianzhou Guard or Jianzhou Zuowei, they have no value in existence anymore." Zhu Gaoxuan answered Zhu Yong's question without holding back.

So what if Li Xianzhong is the emperor's brother-in-law? I am still the emperor's own son. Now I am the prince, and I will be promoted to the crown prince soon!

How much military exploits can Li Xianzhong have?Lao Tzu conquered a province in the south, and made two Mongol kings in the north!
What's more, Li Xianzhong himself has a bit of conscience for Daming, but his descendants such as Dong Shan, Li Gunaha, Li Manzhu and others are all Daming's rebels, Qing Yishui's rebels.

After the change of Tumubao, the national power of Ming Dynasty declined. Li Manzhu, the leader of Jianzhou Guards, also the son of Li Xianzhong, united with the three guards of Jianzhou, rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and began to continuously harass and invade the Liaodong area.

The name of the future Jianzhou Jurchen was changed to "Manzhou", which actually came from the name of this guy, which means "Li Manzhu's Jianzhou Jurchen Department".

The Jurchen rebellion is also related to the rigid tribute trade system of the Ming Dynasty. The number of times the ethnic minority tribes come to pay tribute each year, the number of people and the amount of goods that come each time is limited.Daming blocked the way to make money through their trade, and these people went straight to the robbery.But among them, the Jurchens are the most dishonest. Daming had given many preferential policies before, but when they really had the opportunity to grab money and food, they couldn't help but make another vote, and apologized to Daming after the grab. After apologizing and continuing to rob, you are completely unfamiliar wolf cubs.

As for how to deal with these Jurchens, the court was divided into two factions at that time. The main combat faction believed that the Jurchens were disobedient and should be taught a lesson; Don't make trouble, it's even more pissy than "Jurchen father" Li Chengliang.At the very least, Li Chengliang has been leading the Jurchen's various ministries to split up, and these advocacy factions directly treat the Jurchen as their father.

Emperor Chenghua didn't hesitate for long, and directly ordered the Jianzhou Jurchen to be suppressed. The order he issued was: "Smash their lairs and eliminate their species."During this siege, Li Manzhu and his son were beheaded by the North Korean army.As for another leader, Dong Shan, the fifth ancestor of Nurhachi, he also died in this siege.

Die well!

"How to deal with Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Zuowei, maybe you didn't hear clearly just now, or maybe I didn't explain clearly, now I will explain more clearly." Zhu Gaoxuan looked calm, "Just exterminate the clan."

Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong were a little surprised when they heard the words. This sentence decided the lives of more than 1 people in Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Zuowei!
Commander Mengge Timur, the commander of the left guard capital in Jianzhou, is the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.

The difference between the Commander and the Commander of the capital is one word, but the difference is vast.

The Commander is the supreme commander of the "Guardian", and the Commander of the Du is the supreme commander of the "Du Commander", the highest commander of the local and provincial military.

The difference is that Meng Ge Timur is well-known as a commanding officer, but in fact there are not so many people under his command. There are only about a thousand troops, and more than 7000 troops are dragged by his family. .

"The general understands." Zhang Fu nodded, without asking why King Qi had such a great hatred for Jianzhou Zuowei.In the army, military orders are paramount, and commanders' orders are the first. Even if Zhu Gaoxuan asked him to lead people to rush to the Liaodong capital's yamen, Zhang Fu dared to obey the military orders.

If he knew what Mengge Timur's descendants did more than 200 years later, he might even have the thought of raising the ashes of Jianzhou Zuowei.

But Zhu Yong asked with some doubts: "My lord, if that's the case, do we need to negotiate with Liu Rong, the headquarters of Liaodong, in advance when we pass by Liaodong?"

Liu Rong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, once accompanied Zhu Di to settle the disaster and crusade against Mongolia, and made many military exploits.He guarded Liaodong for ten years and built fortifications along the coast to resist Japanese pirates.He is not good at fighting Han people, but he is good at fighting Mongols and Japanese pirates, and he can be called a famous general.

"We'll discuss it at that time. For now, take care of the march and the strategy in Jianzhou." Zhu Gaoyi shook his head and asked suddenly, "The officials who supervise the follow-up grain road, don't wait for us to run out of grain and grass in the middle of the road. , that would be great fun."

Zhu Yong said disapprovingly: "The crown prince is in charge of food management, and the East Palace is responsible for any problems."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhu Gaoxuan said sternly, "If there is a problem with food and grass, the people in the East Palace will definitely lose their heads, but aren't we not affected? The food and grass we brought on the expedition are at most enough for us to go to Shuntian Mansion , if there is a problem with the follow-up rations, [-] soldiers will either starve to death or mutiny, not only will the East Palace lose their heads in pieces, but you and I will not be much better!"

If the [-] elite set off for the expedition, if they didn't want to delay their journey, they could only compress their luggage.While the army was walking, the imperial court was transporting grain and grass. The subsequent food road was through the Grand Canal, and it was sent to Shuntian Mansion together with the materials for the construction of the Shuntian Mansion Palace.When the army arrived at Shuntian Mansion by land, the follow-up food and grass also arrived at Shuntian Mansion by water.

Although this is more convenient, it is also more risky. If the prince takes the wrong medicine and delays the transportation of grain and grass, the [-] elite will mutiny before they reach Nuergan.Of course, Zhu Gaoxuan couldn't let this kind of thing happen. He had been arranging manpower to operate in Jinling City, but the effect was not too obvious. It was the crown prince who was in charge of this matter, not him, King Qi.

However, the prince has been engaged in logistics for many years, and he has basically never made any mistakes in food supply, which also made Zhu Gaoxuan feel a little more at ease.

Although he and Donggong were having an unpleasant affair, the prince still gave people a sense of security in front of major national affairs.
