After the Jin people left, the vast area south of Yanshan was only set up as Yanshan Prefecture and fell under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province.
Since the Ansu Army, Shun'an Army, Baoding Army, and Xin'an Army in Hebei will no longer be located on the front line, all military-level administrative establishments will be cancelled, and they will be downgraded to Ansu County, Gaoyang County, Guixin County, and Xin'an County.
Baozhou and Dingzhou were officially merged into Baoding Prefecture.
Rongcheng County on the Jin side (there was also Rongcheng County on the Ming Dynasty side) was downgraded to Beirong Town and placed under the jurisdiction of Ansu County. Ansu County was completely merged into Baoding Prefecture.
There were many similar changes in administrative divisions, basically integrating the former Song and Liao borders based on geographical conditions.
Yizhou was reduced to Yi County, Zhuozhou was reduced to Fanyang County, Shunzhou was reduced to Huairen County...all came under the jurisdiction of Yanshan Prefecture. Some states did not even maintain county-level divisions, and were directly reduced to a small town, because
The population is really too damn small.
The soldiers and civilians of the Jin Kingdom who fled south to join the Ming Dynasty were moved back to their original villages to obtain land.
Many people randomly identified cultivated land and said it was their own. The Ming Dynasty government recognized it. As long as they could cultivate it and pay taxes honestly after the tax holiday, the government actually encouraged them.
Immigrants from the three southern provinces are also moving at a faster pace, and the counties they pass along the way must fully cooperate.
At the same time, all the cavalry under Li Yanxian's command were sent out to the Taihang Mountains and Yanshan Mountains to lure the people.
The conditions for the inducement were very relaxed. As long as the people in the mountains were willing to come out, the nearby land could be cultivated by them.
Even taxes will be completely exempted within five years. This is because the land is so vast and sparsely populated that even small towns cannot be formed, and only natural villages can be formed. In this case, the cost of tax collection is too high, so just let it go, etc.
Form a town and then organize households to bring together the people.
The same situation occurs in other areas, with scattered villages in the wilderness. The nearby state cities and counties are all possessed by ghosts. The Jin Kingdom is too lazy to collect taxes, and the Ming government naturally does not collect taxes either. Those cities are temporarily left to their own devices.
Abandoned.
These mountain people and scattered villagers number in the millions.
They are wary of all imperial courts and can only use time to heal their psychological wounds.
After several months of luring, there were only two to three thousand people who were willing to go down the mountain. And they were scattered in the foothills area of 700 to 800 miles long. Basically, there were five or eight households holding together to resist the wild beasts, and there were even small settlements of more than ten households.
They didn't dare to have any, for fear that too many people would attract the government to recruit troops and levy food.
Gradually, Li Yanxian discovered a situation.
Even in mountainous areas, there are a large number of gentry, who are leaders of the mountain people.
When they first fled, ordinary people, led by the village gentry, hid in the mountains and reclaimed wasteland in villages to survive.
As long as one family of gentry is persuaded, at least twenty or thirty families of common people can be lured out of the mountain!
After these gentry have been working in the mountains for a year, and the government does not come to collect taxes, they will probably be able to trust the Ming court. Let them go into the mountains next year to persuade more gentry to return with the people, and lure hundreds of thousands of people within three to five years.
no problem.
…
In the Ming Dynasty, the development of people's livelihood was in full swing.
The Jin Kingdom is also not idle either.
The Jin soldiers guarded Yanshan and the dangerous pass in the Taihang Mountains to prevent the Ming Dynasty from breaking the peace treaty and suddenly sending troops. At the same time, they also mobilized elite soldiers and horses to wait for the harvest of food in the autumn.
Before autumn arrived, Wanyan Zonghan dispatched his cavalry and went to the grassland to order all ministries to send out troops.
They are going to hit the Yelv Rock!
The Jin Kingdom tolerated Xixia's backstabbing and did not plan to raise troops to retaliate. The main reason was that the territory Xixia had taken away was too poor and too remote to have much profit, and most of the area was separated by the Gobi desert.
The Wugu Dilie tribes that had been moved to the Songnen Plain, and the Tanggu tribes distributed in the upper reaches of the Liao River, were called to a meeting by Wanyan Zonghan to discuss sending troops.
Two tribal leaders were late and late, and were immediately conquered by the Jin cavalry. The two nobles were all executed, their young men and livestock were taken away by the Jin, and their pastures were distributed to other tribes.
Immediately afterwards, there was another meeting in Linhuang Mansion (Bahrain Left Banner), and the leaders of the grassland tribes hundreds of miles away had to come.
Whoever doesn't come will be beaten!
Under a series of violent conquests, the various grassland tribes were in turmoil, so they could only send out troops and supplies, and follow the Jin soldiers to attack the Yelv Stone.
The Jin soldiers could not defeat the Ming army, but they regained their confidence in the grassland.
Often dozens of Jurchen cavalry would charge directly into tribes of thousands of people, chopping melons and vegetables along the way, invincible.
The Jin Kingdom made such a big noise in the south, how could Yelv Dashi not receive news in Mobei?
He quickly summoned the Mobei tribes for an alliance, but the Nilon-Mongolian tribes did not come, and only two leaders from the Tatar tribes came.
This situation made Yelu Dashi feel heavy.
Most of the tribes that were loyal to him half a year ago chose to wait and see in the face of the Jin soldiers who were about to invade. These tribal leaders, fearing bloody revenge from the Jin Kingdom, had already shown their attitude of breaking away from Yelu Dashi.
Orici returned from Mongolia and reported: "Great Khan, there is definite news from the south that the Ming Dynasty has negotiated peace with the gold thieves."
"Mingjin negotiated peace?" Yelu Dashi couldn't believe it.
Orici said: "The golden thieves have been defeated one after another, so they probably don't dare to fight the Ming army again. The Ming army recovered the territory of the Song Dynasty last year, and the golden thieves ceded Nanjing Road, my hometown of Daliao, in exchange for negotiating peace with the Ming Dynasty this spring."
The Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom was the entire area south of Yanshan Mountain and north of the Juma River.
Yelu Dashi frowned: "The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were so fierce that they actually beat the Jin people to cede territory and seek peace. If I were Prince Zhu, I would destroy the Jin country in one go!"
Orici said: "The Nanjing Road is dilapidated and exhausted, and the Ming Dynasty is busy taking over the territory. It is estimated that they will not send troops this year. As long as the Jin soldiers hold the pass, they can attack Mobei with all their troops. This battle may not be easy to deal with."
ah."
Yelu Dashi said: "If we persist for two or three more years, Prince Zhu will definitely make the Northern Expedition. By then, the golden thieves will have nothing to worry about, and we will be able to take the opportunity to unify the northern and southern grasslands!"
…
In autumn, the troops and horses are strong.
The Kingdom of Jin dispatched 8,000 elite cavalry and more than 10,000 prairie cavalry, totaling 24,000 troops to conquer Mobei.
The Nilun Mongolian tribes directly watched the show and neither helped Yelu Dashi fight the war nor accepted the dispatch of the Jin Kingdom.
There are several leaders of the Black and White Tatar tribes who are willing to follow Yelu Dashi.
Since the Naiman tribe was far away, they promised to help. However, they were unwilling to send troops to the east. Instead, they asked Yelu Dashi to lead his troops to flee west, claiming that they were willing to meet them on the Altai Mountains.
Yelu Dashi chose to avoid its sharp edge and fled westward with his tribe and livestock, while leaving a small group of cavalry along the way to lure the enemy.
Wanyan Zonghan's army quickly occupied the pasture where Yelu Dashi was abandoned, and sent his cavalry in all directions to search and pursue Yelu Dashi.
Yin Shuke led 1,200 cavalry and discovered enemy traces at the southwest foot of Wushan (Hangai Mountain). He pursued the enemy for two days with one man and three horses, but was suddenly surrounded by more than 10,000 cavalrymen from Yelu Dashi.
These more than a thousand Jurchen knights, instead of running away, went straight towards Yelu Dashi's handsome flag.
Yelu Dashi personally led his troops to attack. Before the two sides engaged in battle, Yin Shuke suddenly turned his troops and headed towards Damili's cavalry.
The Damili tribe is one of the die-hard followers of Yelu Dashi, but their equipment is not very good. Not to mention the extremely low armor rate, they cannot even guarantee the supply of iron arrows, and many cavalry still use bone arrows.
They were originally narrowing the encirclement, but they didn't expect the Jurchen Knights to suddenly rush in.
After just one attack, Damili's cavalry scrambled to escape.
With less fighting against more, Yin Shuke unexpectedly divided his troops. When he was chasing Dami's defeated troops, he suddenly sent out two hundred Jurchen warriors to kill the Ye Jia Gu troops in the other direction. The latter was instantly killed.
He was killed without any resistance.
The 1,200 Jurchen cavalry rushed in like this, causing chaos among tens of thousands of troops at Yelu Dashi.
In the end, they even split into three and charged towards Yelu Dashi's headquarters from three directions.
The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and the Jurchen cavalry suffered more than 200 casualties, but they became even more crazy and brave. After retreating alternately, they continued to attack one after another. Occasionally, during the retreat, they would seize the opportunity to suddenly counterattack.
Yelu Dashi went crazy with anger. When many of his troops fled, he led 300 cavalry to fight tenaciously with the Jin people.
Yin Shuke realized that this was a tough enemy, so he finally threw down the bodies of the dead and broke out.
Yelu Dashi led his troops to pursue him, and many cavalrymen who had not yet been defeated gradually gathered together to pursue them together.
During the chase, Jin Guoxiao suddenly changed his horse and fought back.
After another fierce battle, they broke out of the encirclement and defeated Yelu Dashi so much that they did not dare to pursue him anymore.
In this battle, more than 400 Jin soldiers were killed, and almost everyone who escaped was injured.
However, more than 5,000 of Yelu Dashi's more than 10,000 soldiers fled. His core 300 cavalry also lost more than 80, which was a huge blow to Yelu Dashi.
A few days later, more than 3,000 Jin Kingdom knights came to kill him.
Yelu Dashi once again lured the enemy deep and tried to surround and annihilate the Jin soldiers, but in the end they were defeated and fled.
The combat effectiveness of the tribal cavalry who followed him was too weak!
Yelu Dashi retreated all the way to the west until it snowed, and then the Jin soldiers gradually withdrew. Moreover, they vented their anger on the surrounding tribes and robbed a large number of livestock and women.
After this battle, the prestige of Yelu Dashi in Mobei dropped sharply, and the various tribes of the Nelon Mongols openly broke away from its rule.
The Tatar tribes also complained because they were the worst robbed by the Jin soldiers.
The Mobei grassland was not the foundation for establishing a business, and Yelu Dashi finally had the idea of migrating westward.
His foundation here is too weak, even worse than that of the Nellon Mongolian tribes.
Those Mongolian tribes have developed for several generations, have blood ties with each other, and have a large number of married tribes.
And what about Yelv Dashi?
He is just an outsider and has no tribes related to him in Mobei. He relies solely on three hundred cavalry to overwhelm the tribes. Once in danger, the powerful tribes will not obey at all and are only willing to follow him to grab territory for the benefit.
This winter, Yelu Dashiwo was licking his wounds in Mobei.
Brave men were selected to replenish the three hundred iron cavalry. Even after the death, the armor was still there, and hundreds of pieces of iron armor were obtained from the Jurchen cavalry who died in battle.
He suffered some losses in the great defeat, and now has a total of more than 500 pieces of armor.
It's quite pitiful that the dignified Yelu Dashi only has more than 500 pieces of armor, and all of them are medium-sized armors, not even a single pair of heavy-duty armors.
Looking at the snowy sky, Yelu Dashi planned to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor next year, and immediately move westward after awarding hundreds of officials.
In this place of Mobei, no matter who wants to be treated, he can't stay any longer.
