Chapter 279 The Ming Dynasty had abundant martial ethics and used its industrial advantages to defeat Jiannu!

Until now, the reforms within the Ming Dynasty have been implemented, the treasury has been filled, and the imperial court's own troops have also increased a lot. Many officers and soldiers have even become backbones of the empire with good combat literacy and command capabilities in the actual combat in southern Liao and southwest.

Here, southern Liao refers to the battle with Jiannu.

The southwest is the rebellion of the southwest chieftain.

Let's turn the words back.

Because of this, for the ruling people of the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed necessary to put the resolution of the Liao incident on the agenda.

And solving the Liao incident is not just about solving the Jiannu.

Today, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty already have a consensus that in addition to solving the Liao affairs, they must also solve the Liao generals who no longer obey the imperial court's discipline.

Therefore, Yuan Keli said that he had to solve the generals in Liao territory and Jiannu first.

There is no objection to Apocalypse and others.

So, next, the Ming Dynasty began to prepare in an orderly manner to recover the battle of Chenyang and Guangning.

The guards directly under the emperor began to be transferred to southern Liaoning, and other foreign troops, such as the Baigang soldiers in Sichuan, were also transferred to southern Liaoning one after another.

All the money is fought in war.

Just as a saying goes, if you are poor, you will be interspersed with tactics, and if you are rich, you will be covered with firepower.

The Ming Dynasty is very rich now, so there is no trick to fight this battle in the Ming Dynasty, it is just a large number of troops and artillery.

In the rear, the Ministry of War kept digging money from the treasury and let the Industrial Department produce more firearms and artillery.

The Industrial Department used the money to expand its production scale frantically, set up training schools, literacy and arithmetic classes, and used food and accommodation as bait to absorb a large number of refugees to receive training and become new workers.

Just now, Guanzhong has a severe drought, and many Guanzhong refugees have moved to the capital, giving the Industrial Department sufficient human resources.

Moreover, while implementing the piece-based system, a large number of technical workers have been constantly forging gun barrels, except for sleeping, eating and going to the toilet.

As a result, many firearms and artillery were produced. Basically, a new guard recruit could receive a flintlock gun as soon as he joined the army. The key was that he could also get a new gun when he went to the battlefield.

This is still in the case of controlling the dumbness rate.

Once a centralized regime with a population of over 100 million has sufficient financial resources, if the internal government has just been rectified and the top-level rulers are not bad or cowardly, the war ability that breaks out will naturally be amazing.

At least the advantages in population and technology levels can be directly reflected in war.

What's more, in this era, the population of the Ming Dynasty was incomparable to other regimes in terms of literacy rate, proportion of technical talents and number of young and strong people.

In the front, this advantage is even more obvious.

Sun Chuanting, who was directly responsible for commanding this battle, didn't need to rack his brains to think too much about how to fight.

This advantage has reduced the war's requirement for commanding commanders.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting now chose to continue to organize this battle by fighting a stupid war and forming a tough camp, allowing all the officials and troops under his command to advance step by step into the territory of Jiannu. Every time he traveled a distance, he built a new fort and waited for the troops from the rear to gather and then continued to move forward.

Moreover, the new castles built were all bastions promoted by Zhang Gui, so that the Ming official army, mainly firearms, could better prevent the sneak attacks of Jiannu wanderers.

The Ming Dynasty official army was moving forward at a scale of more than 50,000, and they lined up with flintlock rifles. When they encountered small groups of Jiannu, they rushed forward without any division of troops. When they encountered large groups of Jiannu, they stationed directly on the spot and built a city to fight the decisive battle.

In this way, Jiannu, whose total number of troops was less than 60,000, could neither use tactical interspers to eat a part of the Ming Dynasty's official army, nor could he lure the enemy into the depths and then eat a part of the Ming Dynasty's official army. He could only watch his living space be compressed step by step.

For the Ming generals who specifically commanded a Ming official army in front, they also gradually learned how to skillfully use their own firearm advantages to suppress Jiannu and even use new firearms to improve tactics.

Zhou Yuji had already learned to give way to the joint combat of infantry artillery instead of the traditional musket array. He directly equipped the grassroots combat units at the first-level flag-level, with several artillery pieces and a team of artillery soldiers. At the same time, his own Fangzhen also directly equipped an artillery battalion protected by cavalry. When a large number of Jiannu appeared, he would first rely on his abundant firepower and send the shells out desperately.

For Jiannu, they could only rely on their Jurchens' talent in archery as a fishing and hunting nation and their bloody courage to fight against a Ming Empire with enhanced organizational and stronger industrial capabilities.

The key is that Jiannu has lost two prestigious figures, Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, and there are many contradictions within his ruling group. The prestige of Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge is not enough to suppress other banner owners with real power, which has made the fourth son of Huang Taiji, Ye Bushu, who is two years old, become a new khan.

All this is naturally because Dorgon and other real-powered banner owners are unwilling to let Huang Taiji's son be domineering to others, and let Ye Bushu, an unweaned baby, become a new Khan, be just the result of the compromise between the various banner owners.

In addition, within Jiannu, the contradiction between the ruling class and the ruled was also intensifying. Because the strength of the Ming Dynasty made the Manchu military aristocracy no longer maintain internal rule stability by plundering the Ming Dynasty. A large number of bannermen starved to death or could not produce them because they could not obtain sufficient food and salt and other necessities. This also made many bannermen within Jiannu have already begun to become detailed works of the Ming Dynasty because of their livelihoods.

Especially the Han people who fled to Jiannu as coattails because they could not bear the oppression of Han military aristocrats in Liao, were mostly bribed by the Ming Dynasty.

Taking these factors into consideration, the Ming Dynasty official army commanded by Sun Chuanting successfully recovered Liaoyang in March of the ninth year of the Tianqi revelation.

In May of the ninth year of Tianqi, the Ming Dynasty's official army surrounded Shenyang and gathered hundreds of cannons to break through Shenyang City.

Because the banner owners of Jiannu were still very talented in this era, they did not choose to fight against the Ming army in Shenyang City. Instead, they decisively moved the capital back to Hetuala, and even Guangning gave up voluntarily.

This is undoubtedly a better choice for the banner owners of Jiannu. After all, the mountainous area in Jianzhou can greatly offset the firearm advantages of the Ming Dynasty's official army and make it easier to defeat the Ming Dynasty's official army.

After the Ming Dynasty's official army recovered Liaoyang, Shenyang and Guangning, they did not rashly march towards Hetuala.

Because the real purpose of the Ming Dynasty court was not to completely eliminate Jiannu, but to cut off the contact between Jiannu and Liao generals, and to take the opportunity to solve the Liao generals such as Zu Dashou first.

For Zu Dashou, he had been in contact with Jiannu during this period, but he neither chose to surrender to Jiannu nor directly rebel, nor even made a self-esteem to become king.

Because Zu Dashou really didn't know what to choose, he was still counting on Jiannu to defeat the official army until the eve of the Ming Dynasty's official army recovering Liaoyang and Shenyang, so that he, a military landlord who was only willing to defend western Liao, could continue to be supported by the court with high officials and high salaries and Liao salary, while taking advantage of Jiannu's power, without worrying about the court's ability to do what he would do.

But after the Ming Dynasty's official army had recovered Chenyang, Liaoyang and even Guangning, he had no way out of any choice.

In order to paralyze Zu Dashou and also test whether Zu Dashou is willing to lose his own interests, the Ming Dynasty court first issued an order to transfer Zu Dashou as the general of Chenyang. At the same time, other Liao generals and other military officers also served as military officers in the newly recovered cities such as Liaoyang and Guangning. Ningyuan, where Zu Dashou is located, took over from Ma Xianglin, who led the Baigang soldiers to southern Liaoning to make contributions.

Zu Dashou naturally guessed that the court was doing this, so he made arrangements overnight and made up his mind to offer land to Jiannu and join Jiannu.

That's right, after weighing the pros and cons, Zu Dashou chose to rather recognize Jiannu as the master than to become king, because he was not sure that he could defeat the Ming Dynasty's official army by establishing himself as queen.

Unless, he, a Han military landlord in Liao, was willing to give his interests to ordinary Han people in Liao and mobilize more Liao people to defend his territory.

Obviously, this is something Zu Dashou is unwilling to do.

Even if he was willing to do it, most other Liao generals would not allow him to do so.

Therefore, Zu Dashou had to choose to sell the country.

There is nothing to not sell in front of the profiteer.

Therefore, when Ma Xianglin led his Baigang soldiers to Ningyuan City and was preparing to hand over to Zu Dashou, Zu Dashou suddenly ordered the sealing of the inner and outer city gates, and surrounded the Baigang soldiers of Ma Xianglin's troops in the urn.

Seeing this, Ma Xianglin shouted loudly: "Zu Dashou, what are you Liao people going to do?!"

Zu Dashou laughed and said, "Of course, I am following the orders of my Khan, and I will take the heads of Ming dogs!"

As he said that, Zu Dashou ordered to the servants on the city wall: "Take it!"

"Who dares to do it!"

He Kegang shouted at this time and ordered his servants to raise the musket and aimed at Zu Dashou's servants.
