Zhu Youxiao nodded, then pondered for a moment before saying, "As for the surrendered barbarians, send them to Zhenjiang Fort, commanded by Nara Zhongming. We must also spread the word so that the Jiannu can know."
"Yes, I will arrange it as soon as I get back."
Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and said to Luo Sigong and Cao Zhenghua, "If there is nothing else, Mr. Luo and Mr. Cao may take their leave."
"I'll take my leave." Luo Sigong and Cao Zhenghua bowed and accepted the order, then left the hall.
Liu Xingzuo's rebellion caused civil strife among the Jiannu people, but the emperor was obviously not satisfied and wanted to continue to cause trouble for the Jiannu people.
Zhu Youxiao's goal was to adopt a multi-pronged approach, combining military action with alienation and disintegration to shorten the process of pacifying Liao as much as possible.
In the past, it was the internal strife in the imperial court and the factional struggles that made the situation in Liaodong worse; now, Zhu Youxiao wanted to turn the tables and let the Jiannu have a taste of the same pain.
The main reason why the Mongolian tribes could not defeat the Jiannu was that they were not united and could not face the outside world together; the Later Jin Dynasty was not a monolithic entity, and under adverse circumstances, it was difficult to guarantee that the people would not be demoralized.
As the saying goes: Husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Even husband and wife can be like this, let alone the bandit group of the Later Jin.
On the one hand, there was increasing military pressure and an increasingly severe situation; on the other hand, Nara Zhongming and Jiangyi served as role models and banners.
Zhu Youxiao could foresee that the first to escape from the sinking ship of the Later Jin would be the Mongolian vassals who were dependent on the Later Jin; the second would be the Han soldiers who were not valued and used as cannon fodder.
Finally, of course, there were the Jurchen tribes who wanted to save their lives, such as the descendants of the four tribes of Yehe, Hada, Ula, and Huifa, which originally belonged to the Haixi Jurchens, as well as the Woji and Wuji tribes, which originally belonged to the Donghai Wild Jurchens.
It was because Nurhaci unified the Jurchen tribes and plundered a large number of people from the wild Jurchens in the East China Sea that the Later Jin Dynasty had the strength to challenge the Ming Dynasty.
