(Happy New Year, I wish you all the best of luck in the New Year.) ）

At the end of the battle of Fengzhen, Zheng Jinhong did not leave immediately, and the matter of cleaning up the battlefield lasted for two whole days, and the fighting was too tragic, whether it was the imperial army or the Eight Banners Army, the losses were huge, and Zheng Jinhong also described this victory as a tragic victory.

The reason why Zheng Jinhong did not leave Fengzhen immediately was because of the emperor's will, of course, Zheng Jinhong's report on the battle of Fengzhen was still on the way to the capital, and the emperor's will mainly talked about the issue of grassland order.

Zheng Jinhong also noticed this problem, among the prisoners in the battle of Fengzhen, there were cavalry of the Chahar tribe of the grassland, which made Zheng Jinhong very angry, because of the heavy losses of the soldiers under his command, and because of the death of Su Manzi, the general of the Zheng family's army, Zheng Jinhong's temper was not very good during this time, and now that he has found a way to vent, he will definitely not be polite.

Zheng Jinhong randomly sent an envoy to the location of the Chahar tribe to clearly inform the leader of the Chahar tribe that a clear explanation must be given to send cavalry to attack the Ming army, otherwise the Ming court will send a large army to completely exterminate the Chahar tribe, even if it is chased to the ends of the earth, it will not let everyone in the Chahar tribe go.

It is said that Zheng Jinhong's move is a little incomprehensible, you must know that the Chahar tribe is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and its tribal leader is the Mongolian prince who was canonized by the Qing Dynasty, and it is logical for him to send cavalry to aid Duoduo, Zheng Jinhong can lead the army and directly encircle and suppress the Chahar tribe.

Zheng Jinhong's move stemmed from the emperor's decree.

The emperor's decree is very clear, all the grassland tribes close to Shanxi, Shaanxi and Ningxia, the current imperial court adopts a policy of Huai Rou, requiring them to clearly express their submission to the Ming court. As for the grassland tribes such as Horqin who were close to the Great Qing Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty would free up their hands to deal with it after completely exterminating the Great Qing Kingdom.

The emperor's purpose is to ask the grassland to be temporarily stable and not to have major fluctuations, which is beneficial to the imperial court, during the Chongzhen period. The imperial court was once unable to support it because of the two-front war.

Zheng Jinhong acted in accordance with the emperor's will.

The imperial army annihilated the most elite cavalry of the Eight Banners Army in Fengzhen, and the news would soon spread among the grassland tribes, and the Chahar tribe should have been the first to learn of the situation, because the cavalry they sent to aid the Eight Banners Army was defeated by the imperial army, and some of the cavalry were captured.

Zheng Jinhong did this, in fact, to avoid another expedition.

Fighting in the grasslands is far more arduous than in the passes. Many places in the grassland are deserts, or endless grasslands, the terrain is too complex, and dangers exist all the time.

Therefore, it is also the best way to deter the Chahar tribe and make it temporarily surrender.

The Spring Festival of the third year of Ruiyuan. Zheng Jinhong led the army to spend time in Fengzhen, and the prefect of Datong Prefecture sent personnel. A large amount of grain, grass and meat were sent to Fengzhen, and Zheng Jinhong also clearly informed the Datong prefect that Fengzhen must be included in the direct jurisdiction of Datong Prefecture, and relevant departments should be set up here to manage trade and people's livelihood matters.

The related works will commence immediately after the Spring Festival. According to the requirements of Zheng Jinhong, the prefect of Datong specially built a city here, and the city built was three times the size of the original Fengzhen, and later Fengzhen became the most important city of the grassland tribe and the Guannei mutual market, and the city was extremely prosperous. A few years later, the imperial court decided to establish Fengzhen County.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, an envoy sent by the leader of the Chahar tribe rushed to Fengzhen to plead guilty to the Ming court.

The news that the 10,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners Army was all annihilated and that Duoduo, the Prince of Yu of the Qing Dynasty, was captured alive had already reached the leaders of the Chahar tribes, and the tribal leaders had a sense of impending disaster.

This feeling of the grassland tribe became more and more obvious after the battle of Liaodong, it turned out that only the Ordos tribe expressed complete allegiance to the Ming court, and sent the heirs of the tribe to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to study, and the leader of the Ordos tribe made it clear that the grassland area under its control was the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

After the battle of Liaodong, the Tumut tribe and the Turpan tribe all sent envoys to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to discuss the complete submission of the Ming court.

This battle of Fengzhen became a real watershed.

In the original battle of Liaodong, the Eight Banners Army that was exterminated by the Ming army was overwhelmingly Han Eight Banners, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of Mongolia did not suffer too much loss, but this time it was different, 10,000 of the most elite Dream Eight Banner cavalry were completely wiped out by the Ming army, and the brave Prince Yu Duoduo of the Qing Dynasty was also captured, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is super strong, if the Ming court really wants to attack a certain grassland tribe, it cannot resist at all.

That is, from the beginning of the Battle of Fengzhen, many grassland tribes who were still hesitant made up their minds to submit to the Ming court.

The first to ask the Ming court for guilt was the Chahar tribe.

The power of the Chahar tribe in the grassland is not ordinary, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Chahar tribe was known as the golden family of the grassland, occupying the position of the Mongolian suzerain, this influence continued until the Ming Dynasty, after the rise of the Later Jin, vigorously supported the Horqin and other tribes, so that the power of the Chahar tribe was weakened, but the Houjin knew the influence of the Chahar tribe on the grassland, and united its tribal leaders, and in the Mongolian Eight Banners, left a place for the Chahar tribe, and its tribal leader was also canonized as the Mongolian prince by the Qing Dynasty.

The leader of the Chahar tribe disregarded the feelings of the Great Qing State and the matter of the Mongolian prince who was canonized by the Great Qing State, and sent an envoy to the Ming court to ask for guilt, which shook the entire grassland.

The Chahar tribe went to Fengzhen to ask for guilt, bringing a large number of gifts, including gold, silver, cattle and sheep, etc., the tribal leader knew Zheng Jinhong's identity, as a cabinet minister of the Ming court, what he said must be counted, if the Chahar tribe is still working against the Ming court under such circumstances, I am afraid that it will really be exterminated.

After accepting the plea and submission of the Chahar tribe, Zheng Jinhong led his soldiers back to the capital.

The emperor's intention is to integrate Mongolia and Han, let the Mongols enter the Ming court as officials, let the officials selected by the court go to Mongolia to govern, and at the same time migrate the Han people into the Mongolian steppe.

Zheng Jinhong has always revered and admired the emperor's ideas, and he did not have the slightest doubt about the emperor's grand plan, believing that this goal would definitely be achieved.

After so many years, as long as it is what the emperor wants to do, there is nothing that cannot be done.

On the way back to the capital, Duoduo died.

It's not that Zheng Jinhong wants to kill Duoduo, he doesn't have to do that.

Duoduo himself didn't want to live.

The arrogant Duoduo, captured by the Ming army, the pathos and frustration in his heart can be imagined, the 10,000 most elite cavalry of the full eight banners and the white flag inlaid with the white flag led by him were all wiped out, and no one could even escape, except for those who were killed, the rest were all captured alive, the most elite cavalry, when facing the Ming army, are all such a record, so it is conceivable that it will not take long for the Ming army to cross the Liao River and go straight to Shenyang.

Zheng Jinhong's words, Duoduo will not forget, the Ming court not only wants to capture him Duoduo alive, but also to capture Huang Taiji, but also to completely destroy the Qing Dynasty, don't think that Zheng Jinhong is talking big, the Ming court can do this.

Duoduo, who was respected in the Qing Dynasty, had his own character, he could accept defeat in battle, no one could guarantee victory in a hundred battles, and he could not see any hope at first, and he could live a life of being a prisoner from now on, and he might even encounter the humiliation of the Han people, which he could not accept, and in his mind, he believed that such a thing would happen.

It was common for the Manchus of the Great Qing Kingdom to bully the Han Chinese, and Duoduo was one of them, so he decided that the Han people would also bully and insult him, the prince of the Great Qing Kingdom.

Such a disgrace was impossible for Dodor to accept.

Duoduo pleaded with Zheng Jinhong to kill him, but Zheng Jinhong did not agree.

Just when the Ming army set off from Fengzhen and headed for the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Duoduo chose to go on a hunger strike.

With great perseverance and the support of faith, he really didn't eat.

Three days passed, and Dodor's already hungry face was distorted.

Seeing this, Zheng Jinhong talked to Duoduo specifically, he agreed to Duoduo's request, and after Duoduo had a hearty meal, he handed Duoduo a glass of poisoned wine.

In mid-February of the fourth year of Ruiyuan, Zheng Jinhong returned to the capital.

Xu Wanghua, the first assistant of the cabinet, led the cabinet ministers, as well as officials above the third rank of the imperial court, to greet them at the gate of the inner city.

The emperor was waiting at the noon gate.

The 20,000 troops who set out from the capital came back with only more than 9,000 people, and the rest of the more than 10,000 soldiers were killed in the battle of Fengzhen, and their ashes were brought back to the capital.

More than 2,000 prisoners of the Eight Banners Army were also brought back to the capital.

The emperor specially issued an order to set up the Zhongyi Hall in the capital to place the ashes of those who made important contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and Su Manzi, the general of the Zheng family's army, was the first person to enter the Zhongyi Hall.

Duoduo's remains were specially sent to the east of the Liao River, handed over to the Eight Banners Army, and let the Qing Kingdom go for burial, which was required by the emperor, respecting the opponent is also respecting oneself, and after the death of the person into the earth, Duoduo's hometown was not in the pass.

Zheng Jinhong pleaded guilty to the emperor, saying that he had made a mistake in commanding the operation, which led to heavy casualties among the soldiers and the death of the general Su Manzi, but the emperor did not say anything, but only warned Zheng Jinhong that in the future, he must seriously face every fight and make every decision carefully.
