In the battle of Yinma River and Liuhua River, the Ming army killed more than 17,000 enemies and captured more than 40,000 people.
This battle not only completely solved the military pressure faced by the Liaodong Dusi, but also had a far-reaching impact, far away in the Nuergan area has long been out of the control of the Yuan Dynasty of the various tribes have sent envoys to Xia Xun to show goodwill, and strongly invited the Ming court to send people to preach the pacification, at the same time, the tribes in Liaodong attached to Korea have also stepped up their activities, wanting to rely on the Ming Dynasty.
North Korea is angry and anxious, but there is nothing it can do about it.
It did not dare to fight if it used force, even if the Ming court had not won a great victory in Liaodong, it was not something it could deal with, and it could have shown off its strength to the Jurchen tribes that had been attached, and intimidated them not to act rashly, and these tribes were close to Korea, so they could not help but look at their faces.
However, when the Korean envoy raised the question of the belonging of these Jurchen tribes to Xia Xun, he deliberately cited this reason that he thought was very strong: "Their tribal station is very close to our Korean country" Xia Xun only replied lightly: "North Korea is also very close to my Liaodong" Because of this sentence, North Korea did not even dare to intimidate the Jurchen tribes with different intentions, this governor of Liaodong was too different from the previous Ming officials, this person was a scoundrel, a madman, an outlaw, they were not afraid of the Ming Dynasty's royal Taoism, but they were afraid of the knife in Xia Xun's hands.
As a result, Zhu Di's cheap old man Aha took the lead in attaching to the Ming court, and then one after another the Jurchen tribes handed over the submission form to the Ming court, saying that they were attached, and the only thing North Korea could do was to protest and pay serious attention.
Xia Xun didn't have time to deal with North Korea, he was digesting the fruits of his victory.
Xia Xun has no intention of continuing the western crusade against the Tatars, and it is beneficial to him to let the Tatars and Warat continue to confront each other at present, not to mention that the last battle was so easy, mainly relying on the rebellion of Meng Ge Timur, if there is another battle, Xia Xun is not sure that he will win the battle, in case he loses, the previous efforts will be lost, even if he wins, the rapid expansion is also beneficial and harmless.
The only benefit it can bring is to make yourself famous in history, but in a few years, these foundationless territories still have to be "spit out", and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to digest so many people and territories at once, this is not a rich place, every time you occupy an extra place, you will invest far more than you get.
Therefore, Xia Xun is now trying his best to be stable, slowly encroaching, and consolidating every step he takes, otherwise he may not be able to point to the occurrence of some accidental factor, and the good situation will completely collapse.
This stability, for Liaodong at present, is mainly internal consolidation, integration, and rooting, which is the main aspect of Xia Xun's current administration.
The mixed tribes and the subordinate tribes have considerable autonomy, and the situation is complex and requires a long period of time to change, during which the iron fist of power and the means of softness must go hand in hand.
People who do not know how to compromise and tolerate will not be able to succeed.
To achieve such a goal, of course, Xia Xun cannot be expected to do it alone, he can formulate policies, but someone must unswervingly implement his policies, in this case, all the forces that can be used must be tied together.
Taking advantage of economic interests, he has tied up the Jurchen, Goryeo, Mongol, and Han people in Liaodong, and to tie up the civil and military bureaucrats of the Liaodong shogunate, he needs common political interests, and this political interest is military merit at the moment.
Therefore, on Xia Xun's recital, the list of meritorious service is as long as 1,000 lines, and these people are not all soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line.
For example, when he mentioned the loyalty of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, he had to mention the propaganda and education of Yishiha, Zhang Xitong and others for the above tribes, and it was because of their propaganda and education that these tribes strengthened their loyalty.
When it comes to the great victory on the front, we have to mention how Wan Shiyu, Huang Zhen, Shaoyunfeng and others raised grain and grass and transported troops and salaries in the rear; When it comes to which guards were used to fight, it is necessary to mention how the guards who did not go to war could bear the rear defense and defend strictly, so that the Tatars had no chance to take advantage of it.
In short, everyone is happy, and only then can we unite as one.
In the Governor's Palace, Xia Xun and the civil and military generals gathered together and were discussing official affairs.
The Rus' girls, Sanapopova and Yulata, came in with fruit bowls and tea, they still only knew some of the simplest Chinese words, so they didn't care at all what the officials were talking about, just served the tea like two butterflies in flowers, and the atmosphere of the meeting was much more relaxed because of the two beautiful and delicious women.
Zhang Jun said with a smile: "Guogong, after this great victory, we can ensure that there will be no war in Liaodong for the time being, the war between Tatar and Warat is becoming more and more intense, and the two sides will not give in to each other. ” Xia Xun bowed his head and said: "Yes, but military training cannot be relaxed for a moment."
On the Tatar side, don't let them treat us as fierce gods, I know that some Tatar tribes used to come to trade under the guise of nomadic tribes in the northern Nuergan region, and exchange some tea, iron pots and other necessities of life to return, and they should not be hunted down and arrested in the future.
We want to show our goodwill, to let them know that we are doing business in a proper manner, and we welcome it, which will help to dispel the hostility between ordinary herders and us.
Besides, every time they sell us one more horse, we have one more horse, and they have one less horse, and if we buy more cattle and sheep, they will have less raw materials for making bows and crossbows, and we are still the opposite, and if we ask them to provide anything else, they will not be able to provide anything, which is in the good interest of the country. ” When it comes to political affairs in the second half, he speaks to Wan Shiyu, and the shogunate chief Shi hurriedly nodded yes.
Xia Xun said to him again: "Agriculture, commerce and trade, all aspects, you have to grasp it, and the most important thing for us next is to run Liaodong and turn us into an impregnable outpost fortress in the northernmost part of the imperial court."
In this way, it is necessary to keep the supplies sufficient, and in the event of war, our military reserves here must be able to meet the needs of long-term operations.
The replenishment of soldiers, the replenishment of military horses, and the accumulation of military rations, if these things are transported from the Guannai, the consumption is much more than the grain and straw transported, and the burden on the imperial court is too heavy. ” At this time, a guard hurriedly ran in and said excitedly: "Lord Ministry, Ding Yu Ding Dusi is back."
"What" Xia Xun was overjoyed, Huo Di stood up: "He's still alive" Pei Yishi Temur and Möngke Timur also stood up together, and said in unison: "Can my daughter's mother be saved?"
Pei Yi Shi Temur was an official of the imperial court, and was certainly eligible to attend the meeting.
As for Meng Ge Timur, the news that he led his troops to join was also reported, and it is estimated that when the emperor toured the north, he would let Xia Xun go with him to see and grant him an official position, and now Xia Xun took advantage of the convenience of the shogunate and temporarily appointed him an official position of the shogunate, so he also participated in the discussion The guard was vague, but he knew that Ding Yu was rushing back to Kaiyuan City, and he deliberately asked someone to report first, Xia Xun couldn't hold it back, and immediately ended the meeting and greeted the mansion with Zhu Wenwu.
When the people arrived outside the shogunate, it only took a few moments for a large group of people to arrive from the side of West Street.
A bearded Mongol rode a high-headed horse and galloped to the front, turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "The last general, Ding Yu, meet the lord of the department."
"Ding Yu" Xia Xun looked him up and down a few times, and then he recognized it, and couldn't help but step forward, punched him in the chest, and laughed: "Okay, you kid is quite strong, I thought you were dressed like this outside."
Ding Yu grinned and said: "Meng Ge's wife and daughter-in-law, I rescued them, because I was worried about running into Tatar people and horses on the way, so I changed the clothes of the Mongols, so as not to be too eye-catching." ” Pei Yishi Temur squeezed up and was about to ask, but his daughter ran over quickly, and said loudly with joy: "Dad, my sister has been rescued."
"Oh" When Pei Yishi Temur and Meng Ge Timur saw this, they hurriedly greeted him.
Ding Yu whispered to Xia Xun: "The Tartar commander coerced Meng Ge's mother and daughter-in-law to flee all the way, and the last general chased after him, the horse ran too fast, who knew that Meng Ge's daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she had a miscarriage under the bumps, which made the blood flow and her body was very weak."
Otherwise, the last general would have returned long ago, and he would have walked more slowly because he had to take care of her. ” Xia Xun nodded, and hurriedly walked up to meet her, Pei Yishi Temuer received her daughter, and when she saw her haggard face and weak body, the father and daughter couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, and when they saw her, they couldn't help but wipe their tears sadly.
Meng Ge Timur personally helped the old lady down from the horse, and the mother and son also hugged each other and cried.
Xia Xun wanted to come forward to express his condolences to show the care of the leader, but looking at this scene, he didn't seem to be able to interject at all, so he had to pinch his nose and stand aside to watch the play.
At this time, those herdsmen dressed up in front of them, all standing there, some Mongolian herdsmen dressed up, in fact, were Ding Yu's subordinates, seeing that the ministry and a cadre were here, they hurriedly saluted, and some others, some old and young, strong and weak, and some women, all stood aside, looking at it with their eyes, Xia Xun only said that they were the tribes who were taken away with Meng Ge's wife, and they didn't pay attention to it. was the first to react, and when he saw those people standing there waiting for his introduction, he wiped his tears, walked to Xia Xun's side, and pointed out to him: "Lord Ministry, these people are from the Huaguna tribe, Arutai Tuqi whole clan, these shepherds escaped by luck because they were grazing outside, and now they have all rushed to join the Ministry."
Xia Xun was very happy when he heard it, although these people in front of him were only about 100 people, but they represented a tribe, and one more tribe was attached, and there would be more glory and merit, how did he not like Xia Xun and hurriedly stepped forward, and those people from the Huaguna Department publicly pushed out the oldest Amur and cried to Xia Xun about the persecution of Arutai, and asked Xia Xun to accept and take him in.
Xia Xun said to them: "Don't worry, I, Yang Xu, have always refused to come to those who return.
Now that you have come to me, the Governor will take care of you, and when you come here, you will be safe, and you will no longer have to be displaced, and you will no longer have to be afraid."
"Thank you, Governor."

Amur knelt down gratefully, and the people behind him also knelt down in unison, Amur raised his hands, palms up, and said respectfully to Xia Xun: "Thank you, merciful lord, we travelers who have lost our felt tents and relatives, and there are almost no precious things to express our sincere gratitude to your lordship."
Fortunately, we also have a lark from the grassland, the most beautiful flower of Birch Guna, and we would like to present her to the adults to show our endless gratitude and loyalty to you."
With Amur's voice, at the back of the Huaguna tribe, Yingying stood up a young girl, she was wearing a white embroidered deer-patterned robe, her slender waist was tightly tied, and she was about to bend in the wind, and she was holding a white Hada in her hand, and walked towards Xia Xun.
The big braid is combed behind her, and the black and bright hair is slightly combed out with bangs on the forehead, which is the hairstyle of an unmarried girl, who has become a married woman, and the hair on her forehead is tied back.
It seemed that before entering the city, they had simply washed themselves by the river outside the city, and the dust on their faces had been washed away, and there were still a few crystal droplets of water hanging from the bangs on the forehead of this beautiful girl.
She approached Xia Xun step by step, her dark hair and blue eyes, her skin was like the red snow reflected in the morning glow, her lips and teeth, her nose was like a gall, and her facial features were extremely bright.
She walked to Xia Xun's side one by one, staring at her feet with her eyes down, and at the same time lifted the folded Hada high and leaned forward.
When Xia Xun was in Liaodong for a long time, he understood some of their etiquette, and knew that this was the etiquette of offering Hada to the superior, whether this person accepted it or not, but the gift could not be refused, so he put his hands together, smiled and signaled, and stretched out his hands to pick up Hada.
Suddenly, a man sprang out from the side of the road, holding a sharp knife to untie his wrist, taking advantage of Xia Xun being standing in front of the people of the Huaguna tribe, separating the opportunity of his many guards, "rubbing" three arrow steps from the kneeling Huaguna tribe jumped to Xia Xun's side, a black tiger cut out the heart, and the sharp knife stabbed Xia Xun's heart.
The moment this person suddenly broke into the crowd, Xia Xun was already alert, seeing that the knife had arrived, he suddenly grabbed the arm of the white-robed girl, pulled her to the side, and at the same time took a step back, and the figure leaned back slightly, the knife was pierced into the air, and the tip of the knife was against his chest, but he was unable to go further.
At the end of the strong crossbow, it is difficult to wear Lu Mian.
It's easy to say, but to be able to accurately judge the opponent's speed, strength, and arm length, and fine-tune it at any time according to the opponent's pitch, so that he is difficult to hurt in the slightest, this martial arts is really brilliant to the extreme, and the white-robed girl who was pulled aside by him saw that he was so skilled, and her eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise.
Xia Xun put his hands on the man's wrists, and when the sharp knife fell to the ground, Xia Xun's right hand slid up like a snake, and pinched it at his joints, and the man sighed, half of his body was strangled to the ground, he gritted his teeth, and glared at Xia Xun hatefully, but he was restrained, and he was powerless, and it was impossible to stand up.
The guards in the four sides rushed up, protecting Xia Xun's regiment in the center, and the frightened civil and military also stepped forward to ask for warmth, once interrogated, it turned out that this person was a prisoner who escaped from the Tatar captives who were taken to the prison, and the Shogunate's Judicial Office had already drawn a picture and was arresting him all over Liaodong, who knew that this person did not flee back to the grassland, but actually sneaked back to Kaiyuan City, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate the governor.
After some commotion, the assassin was escorted away by the inspectors and arresters of the Shogunate Judicial Office who rushed to hear the news, Xia Xun turned around and smiled and nodded to the girl who was still stunned, the girl "ah" and shouted softly, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly stood in front of Xia Xun again, a pair of clear eyes like water stared at Xia Xun deeply, and then respectfully picked up Hada.
Xia Xun took Hada with both hands, and the white-robed woman gave him a deep salute, and the lotus step turned lightly, and she naturally stood behind him, claiming to be a maid.
Yanjing, the governor's mansion of the five armies.
The mansions in the north are like this, not as delicate as the south, but they are spacious, wide and deep, with high walls and courtyards, like fortresses, full of style.
On the top of a row of stone steps at the entrance of the yamen, there is a huge vermilion lacquer gate, the stone lions next to the door are facing each other, on the open ground in front of the door, Diao Dou is skyscraper, a string of lanterns is hung, a big flag is erected, and it can be seen every few streets.
On the stone steps between the doors, eight soldiers with tigers on their backs and bears, wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, pressed the handle of their swords, and stood in the forest.
A fast horse galloped far away, hurriedly dismounted in front of the house, tied the horse on the tethered horse stake, ran up the stone steps and showed the waist card, and walked quickly into the house.
Qiu Fu, dressed in a wide robe with large sleeves and casual clothes, sat on a leisurely chair under the eaves and drank tea.
He likes the north, the four seasons are distinct, unlike the south, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the air is always sticky, making it difficult for people to breathe.
But although the north is comfortable, he is degraded here, but his heart is not without bitterness.
The emperor is going to tour the north, Qiu Fu is very concerned about this matter, repairing the camp, building roads, and cleaning up the market, after all, he is an old minister who has followed the emperor for many years, he hopes that the emperor will come this time, and he can miss the old feelings, and then transfer him back to the center.
No, just after he was busy preparing to drive, he sat down to rest, and someone sent him unpleasant news: Liaodong victory.
Qiu Fu's face was cloudy and uncertain: "How can it be possible to behead 17,000 people and capture more than 40,000 people?"
He said to Tang Jie, the governor of the Fifth Army, who sent the letter: "The Tartar soldiers have always been brave, and it is especially difficult to fight a war of annihilation on the grassland.
Tang Jie said: "I heard that he is going to drive prisoners of war into the customs for resettlement, I'm afraid this matter is true."
Qiu Fu shook his head and said: "The Tartar soldiers are soldiers in war, and they are ordinary people, if he takes the initiative to provoke and capture some herdsmen as soldiers, why not because he set up an ambush in the grassland in the north of Horqin, in order to prevent pursuit, return quickly, and did not return the weapons and armor of the Tartar soldiers, according to the old man, this is a fraud."
Qiu Fu rolled his eyes and said: "The emperor is about to tour the north, he made such a big victory, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not deliberately concocted to invite pets, lying about his military exploits Tang Jie, you are from Liaodong, this is in the name of visiting relatives, return to Liaodong, check his name, if he lies about his military exploits, wait for the emperor to arrive in Yanjing, hum" Tang Jie understood, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Obey orders" To be continued:
