Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 301 Bloodbath Aixin, Daming Goes East
The Jianzhou Jurchen's detour and sneak attack have already become exhausted. Most of the cavalry are still hungry, and even the horses are exhausted.

Originally thought it was a city that could be easily captured, but now faced with the sudden appearance of several thousand heavy cavalry from the Ming Dynasty, he seemed extremely panicked at this moment.

There was a strong anti-war sentiment within the Ming Dynasty, but the Jianzhou Jurchens were actually even more flustered.

The Jianzhou Jurchens had already surrendered to the powerful Ming Dynasty, and it was only under the protection of the Ming Dynasty that they escaped the murder of the Haixi Jurchens, so no one felt that they could compete with the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of the menacing Ming army, there were even voices of surrender within the Jianzhou Jurchen, but they only knew that they could not fight against the mighty Ming.

"Don't panic! Form the formation immediately!"

"Come back, come back quickly!"

"Da Ming is a bunch of cowards, what are you afraid of?"

……

This Jurchen army, which was already tired, had no intention of taking on the challenge. In addition, Tuoyuanbao did not establish enough prestige, so the leaders of two tribes chose to flee with their troops.

After seeing the leaders of the two tribes fleeing with their troops, some tribe leaders also followed.

They are not fools. If they can win the final victory by uniting, they can still give it a try.

It's just that the surprise attack has not achieved the expected effect, but they have not yet completed the supply. Facing the well-equipped Ming heavy cavalry, there is only a dead end.

Even if they are willing to fight to the death now, it will not help.What they are facing is the Ming Dynasty attached to them. Although the Ming army has weakened to some extent, it still exists like ants shaking a tree.

"retreat!"

Seeing a dark future, Dorkang immediately led his troops to leave.

Whether it's for the lives of their group of people, or how their own tribe will continue to survive in the desolate land in the future, there are enough reasons to preserve their own strength.

As for the Aixinjueluo family, the fate has actually been doomed.

If there might have been a glimmer of hope earlier, the failure of this surprise attack has doomed the Aixinjueluo family to destruction and become one of the families that has been lost in the long river of history.

Even if the once glorious Golden Family is almost extinct, how can the little Aixinjueluo family survive under the Ming Dynasty's chariot?
"Fight hard, we will definitely win!"

Tuo Yuanbao watched the tribal leaders lead their troops to leave, but he knew that as the next leader of the Aixinjueluo clan, he could not escape, so he immediately led his tribe to fight.

"Formation! Go!"

Iron Elephant Mountain quickly formed an array on the slope in front of the city, and then charged towards the chaotic Jurchens in an array.

The battlefield of this era pays most attention to military strength, battle formation and art of war. In the battle on the battlefield, the battle formation is actually the key to victory.

The reason why Qi's army was able to win one after another with low losses was largely due to the use of the power of the battle formation, thus gaining a huge advantage on the battlefield.

In fact, the situation where only one soldier is left on the battlefield by the two warring parties is a product of film and television works. The real situation is that the loss of [-] to [-]% of the combat power has already caused an army to disperse.

The [-] heavy cavalry of the Aegis Battalion formed an formation, not to mention the Jurchen light cavalry that had escaped most of them, even in the face of [-] Jurchen chaotic cavalry, they could strangle them.

Boom!

The twelve heavy cannons at the top of the city didn't stop, and they still exerted terrifying lethality, and lead bullets slammed into the chaotic formation of the Jurchen army.

puff!
puff!
puff!
……

Lead bullets fell on the rebels one after another. When they hit the cavalry, blood flew out. When they hit the horses, they screamed in pain. The lead bullets with residual energy left pits in the ground.

The Jianzhou Jurchen had always been in awe of her master, Daming, but now faced with such horrific destructive shells, she no longer had the courage to rebel against Daming.

"Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy quickly!"

Tuo Yuanbao's face was cut by the bombarded sand and stones, but he saw that his army was in chaos, and Da Ming's four thousand heavy cavalry and thousands of light cavalry came to hide and kill him, so he shouted loudly.

Although some Jurchen cavalry wanted to fight, more than half of the Jurchen cavalry wanted to escape.

puff!
Faced with the obstruction of a Jurchen cavalry leader, he was killed by the fleeing Jurchen cavalry.

It can be seen from this that the Aixinjueluo family did not have absolute control over the Jurchen tribes, especially on the matter of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty.

puff!
Tie Xiangshan led his troops into the rebellious army like a sharp blade, holding a big long knife to kill the chaotic Jurchen cavalry, and when the knife was raised and lowered, blood continued to splatter everywhere.

puff!puff!puff!
The heavy cavalry following Iron Elephant Mountain fought very bravely, frantically harvesting the lives of the Jurchen cavalry.

Although it costs a lot of money to build heavy cavalry, the equipment of a single soldier is as high as 37 taels, and the daily maintenance is not a low figure, but the combat power is terrifying.

"Stop the shelling!"

Liaodong Censor Zhang Sui stood on the top of the city, but raised his hand to stop the shelling.

The current battle situation is one-sided, and there is no need for him to continue shelling, but to avoid accidentally injuring his own people.This time he was strictly guarding here according to the order, but he didn't want Jianzhou Jurchen to dare to attack Liyu Valley.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The Jianzhou Jurchen launched a tenacious resistance, but their knives or arrows cut or shot sparks on the armor, and there were constant sounds of metal collisions.

On the battlefield, this kind of feedback is undoubtedly fatal, but it is easy to be counter-killed by the opponent.

puff!puff!puff!
The Aegis Battalion lived up to the resource investment of the Ming Dynasty. Relying on the defensive power of its own armor and the extremely sharp Xuefeng knife, it was frantically harvesting the lives of the Jurchen cavalry.

How could the Ming army be so strong?
It was the first time for the vast majority of Jianzhou Nuzhen to fight against the Aegis Battalion, but they were completely at a disadvantage in the face of the heavy cavalry who condensed the crystallization of Chinese wisdom.

In fact, they originally had the power to fight, but the right time and place were not on their side. On the contrary, Da Ming's heavy cavalry used the terrain to take advantage of melee combat.

"It's today to make meritorious deeds, kill!"

Tie Xiangshan knew that the military merit mechanism hadn't been damaged, and many soldiers wanted to gain military merit, so he raised his morale loudly.

puff!puff!puff!
The Jianzhou Jurchen, who was wearing animal or commoner clothes, had no power to fight at all. Facing the absolute equipment advantage of the Aegis Battalion, it was as if they had been chopped up.

"Let's retreat!"

Another tribal leader saw that the battle situation was one-sided and made a decisive decision to leave.

It can't be said that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, but the current Ming Dynasty is like Mount Tai pressing on top, no matter how hard they resist, they are still like a mantis.

Instead of spending the last soldiers with the Ming army, it is better to choose to be wise and protect yourself, but you can find a glimmer of life in this vast frontier.

After all, their current equipment is too poor. The Ming Dynasty is their real father, and they have always relied on the weapons supplies of the Ming Dynasty.

"kill!"

Tuo Yuanbao saw that the number of people on his side was getting smaller and smaller, but he knew that he had no way out, so he immediately took the initiative to kill the Ming army with a knife in resentment.

Now they, the Aixinjueluo clan, have chosen to betray the Ming Dynasty, not to mention retaining Jianzhou, the territory gifted by the Ming Dynasty, and only by vigorously resisting the Ming Dynasty can they have a chance of survival.

When he saw his men fleeing one after another, he knew that only by killing Tie Xiangshan quickly could he completely reverse the situation of the battle, so he immediately rushed towards Tie Xiang Mountain with his sword.

puff!
Tuo Yuan Bao was indeed a warrior, beheading a heavy cavalryman with a sword in his hand.

Under the cover of his personal guards, he finally came to a few feet away from Iron Elephant Mountain, suddenly increased his horse speed and broke through the last line of defense, then raised the waist knife in his hand and slashed towards Tie Elephant Mountain's neck.

The blow seemed so fast and hard that the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he had seen the dawn of turning the tide of the battle.

Most of the guards who came all the way to cover had been lost, and now seeing Tuo Yuanbao strenuously slashing at General Daming, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Tie Xiangshan raised the long knife in his hand as if reacting to his nerves, but he arrived last, and immediately cut off Tuo Yuanbao's head with the knife without mercy.

puff!
Tie Xiangshan only felt that after he swung vigorously, he felt a wave of heat splashing on his face, and the head of the young Jurchen leader who had just rushed over was beheaded by himself.

Being the No. [-] warrior in the Beijing camp is not in vain. Facing a little Jurchen leader who took the initiative to kill him, he naturally easily accepted the blood, and he didn't have much sense of accomplishment on his face.

Tuo Yuanbao's head rolled to the ground, and was kicked into the grass by the howling horses, but his eyes were always wide open, as if he was dying.

"Tou Yuanbao is dead?"

"This...how is this possible?"

"Retreat, let's retreat quickly to save our lives!"

……

When the Jurchen cavalry saw their spiritual leader Tuoyuanbao being easily beheaded by the Ming generals, they immediately felt timid and chose to evacuate.

"Kill! Slaughter all the Jurchens, restore me and build the state!"

When Tie Xiangshan saw the Jurchen cavalry receding like a tide, they did not call for gold and withdraw their troops. Instead, they raised the bloody sword in their hands and shouted loudly.

Slaughter all the Jurchens, restore me and build the state!
This sound was so powerful that it reached the sky, and also sounded the clarion call to massacre the Jurchen cavalry.

kill!
Just before the end of the battlefield here, troops from three sides came to kill them one after another, but they cut off all the retreat routes of Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry.

After the careful layout of the Ming Dynasty, the western part of Jianzhou has already belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

The five cities are intertwined, but they have formed an integrated offensive and defensive system.As early as when Jianzhou Jurchen set foot here, Ye Bushou had already discovered the whereabouts of this cavalry, so the defenders from each city immediately surrounded them.

The Ming Dynasty made peace with Mongolia, and now the Nine Borders are in a stable and peaceful period, so this time the court transferred some soldiers from Datong, Xuanfu and Jizhou.

These frontier troops from the Nine Sides did not belong to the Eastern Expeditionary Army. They were mainly responsible for the defense of the newly built city, and at the same time, they were responsible for annihilating the Jurchen cavalry who fled here.

Even if there is no Aegis Battalion fortunately stationed here this time, relying on the elite of the Nine Sides, they can actually wipe out this Jurchen army known as Wanqi.

In the next few days, the Jurchen cavalry without supplies suffered heavy losses one after another.

So far, Tuo Luo's surprise attack plan failed completely, and Tuo Yuanbao, Tuo Luo's son, was beheaded by Tie Xiangshan, and Aixinjue Luo was one step closer to true destruction.

Xiyuan, beside Taiye Pool.

Looking at the golden lake surface, Zhu Youtang liked the scenery of the lake and mountains at dusk very much. He sat quietly on the edge of the fishing pavilion and hung his hook, enjoying this kind of leisurely fisherman's state of mind.

As the fish floated down, he raised the pole with quick eyes and hands, and a beautiful red carp jumped out of the water, forming a unique picture of the emperor fishing.

"Your Majesty, this red carp is so beautiful, this servant will raise this fish!" Liu Jin, who stepped forward to fetch the fish, couldn't help expressing emotion when he saw the lively red carp.

Zhu Youtang put down the fishing rod in his hand, but he had already noticed that Zheng Guozhong had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest news from Liaodong!" Zheng Guozhong said happily as he presented the Tang newspaper that had just arrived.

Zhu Youtang was lying on the soft couch very lazily, opened the Tang newspaper and saw the latest results of the Jianzhou war, and nodded secretly.

Wang Yue's method of cannibalism is a step-by-step approach in the art of war, so Tuo Luo must be forced to choose a surprise attack.

The biggest problem with Jianzhou Jurchen is that they are too weak. There are Haixi Jurchen in the north, and there are savage Jurchen in the east, eager to fight.

Originally, he honestly hugged Daming's thigh and stole from him to forge the latest weapons, so that there was a way out.It's just that although the Jianzhou Jurchen has Daming inside, it's actually a white-eyed wolf.

Not only did they keep flirting with North Korea, but they also repeatedly looted the border residents of Ming Dynasty, and even robbed the population of Ming Dynasty to farm for them.

If they met the kind of Confucian kings who share the blessing of peace, they might be able to let such white-eyed wolves occupy Jianzhou forever, but it is a pity that they have met themselves now.

Among the several important passes in the west of Jianzhou, he actually deployed corresponding troops in advance, and even built a new city, and Carp Valley was the pass that Jianzhou Jurchen was most likely to capture.

Although the result of this battle has a bit of luck, it is also a manifestation of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the inevitable result of the Ming Dynasty's investment of so many resources.

As long as it continues to advance steadily like this, it will be a matter of course to seek the entire Jianzhou. As for the Aixinjueluo family, it is destined to disappear in the long river of history.

Now seeing that the tens of thousands of cavalry who attacked Liyu Valley were almost wiped out by the frontier troops deployed by him, he knew that Tuoluo was seriously injured and the final decisive battle was not far away.

tyrant!

When Zhu Youtang saw the result of the battle, he couldn't help but think of the evaluation of him by outside literati, and there was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

He doesn't pay much attention to this kind of historical evaluation at all. In the original historical trajectory, he was touted as a wise king by the civil servant group, but what did he bring to China?

In addition to intensifying the annexation of land by the landlord class, making the civil servant group the largest force under the imperial power did not bring substantial development opportunities to the country.

On the contrary, now, he killed the white-eyed wolf Jianzhou Jurchen in the cradle, recovered Jianzhou and settled millions of victims, and even turned Jianzhou into the granary of the Northeast.

Although some people now regard him as the Emperor Taizong who broke the borders, he knows in his heart that he is not Zhu Di, and he will not follow Zhu Di's path.

Compared with opening the border and cracking the soil, I actually pay more attention to resources, and I want to continuously transport overseas resources back to Daming.

Beauty is like jade, tea is as fragrant as dreams.

Han Youying was kneeling opposite as usual, making tea seriously, and her slender hands brought a cup of fragrant water to Zhu Youtang.

Now she is like the tea she personally handed over, ready for you to pick at any time.

Zhu Youtang handed over the Tang newspaper in his hand to Liu Jin for filing, but there was not much joy on his face at the moment, and even a look of loneliness flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you don't look very happy!" Han Youying noticed the change in Zhu Youtang's expression, and seemed concerned.

Zhu Youtang picked up the teacup and asked, "Should I be happy?"

"Now that the war is progressing smoothly, shouldn't His Majesty be happy?" Han Youying knew that the man in front of her was extremely politically intelligent, but she asked in confusion.

Zhu Youtang took a sip of tea and looked up at the slowly setting sun: "This war has cost too much national money, and my life will not be so easy in the future!"

Because this time it was not only to defeat the Jurchens in Jianzhou, but also to wipe out all the Jurchens, and to formally incorporate Jianzhou into the permanent territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the investment of the Ministry of Industry in building the city, it also transferred the elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty to Jianzhou, and even spent a lot of money to hire foreign tribes such as Duoyan Sanwei.

The Jianzhou Jurchen was not as rich as the royal palace of the Le Dynasty, and the only reward was the fertile land.

It’s just that the return on agriculture is actually very inefficient. The current investment is expected to reach 200 million taels, but it may take another three to five years to see the real effect.

"Since His Majesty chooses to do this, he must have already made psychological preparations. This slave thinks that His Majesty has already thought of a good strategy!" Han Youying looked at Zhu Youtang with beautiful eyes, but she was very sure.

Zhu Youtang found that the woman in front of him was both beautiful and smart, and immediately drank the remaining tea: "Sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! Since the return of Jianzhou is too slow, we can only set our sights further, so the Eastern Expedition The army will still move eastward!"

"Your Majesty, after you regained Jianzhou, do you still want to conquer the savage Jurchen?" Han Youying's pretty face showed a look of shock, which seemed inconceivable and authentic.
