Chapter 1129: Withdraw to the North

Gonzalo de Cordoba is after all a generation of generals. After it is difficult to eliminate the enemy and it is difficult to be stationed in Marrakech, he is determined to send someone to apply for the withdrawal of the army from Juan III and Ferdinand II. Marrakech, meanwhile, destroyed the ancient city of Marrakesh.

Marrakech is located in the 6 regions of southern Morocco, at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, and is an important ancient city in Morocco. The problem is that Marrakech is far from the sea and is located farther south from Spain. Spain wants to control Marrakech at a relatively high cost. If the main force of the Vatas dynasty is eliminated, it is also necessary to send troops to station here. But the problem is that there are more than 10,000 cavalry who have not been eliminated in the Vatas Dynasty. Not only that, these cavalrymen used high mobility to fight guerrillas, which made the Spaniards have a headache.

If Gonzalo wanted to chase after the opponent, the infantry could not catch up, and the cavalry was too few. Therefore, the shameless tactics of the guerrillas of the large-scale cavalry of the Vatas dynasty stifled a generation of famous Gonzalo de Cordoba.

In the end, Gonzalo de Cordoba decided to give up control of Marrakech and temporarily evacuate from southern Morocco.

In addition to the factors of difficulty in supplying, Spain is not yet capable of taking into account the southern region, which is also an important reason. After all, Morocco is not much smaller than Spain. It is too difficult to control all areas of Morocco.

Therefore, Gonzalo de Córdoba ’s opinion is to focus on the existing forces and complete the control and digestion of the northern part of Morocco centered on Dofez. After all, the northern part of Morocco is close to the Spanish mainland, and it is also very convenient for Spain to send troops to control. Unlike southern Morocco, the road is too remote and difficult to control.

After completing the control of the northern part of Morocco, then use the northern part of Morocco as the rear, and then go south again to completely sweep the remaining forces of the Vatas dynasty.

Gonzalo de Cordoba believes that after losing important agricultural areas in the north (the south of Morocco is arid and the grain production area is mainly along the northern rivers), it is difficult for the Vatas dynasty to maintain a scale of more than 10,000 cavalry for a long time . After all, war horses need food, and the cost of rearing is not low.

Although the Arabs and the Berbers are both nomadic people, the Berber horses who feed mainly eat grass. However, once the mission is made, it is also necessary to feed the concentrate. The main reason is that once the cavalry strikes, the warhorse carries the soldiers and runs wildly, which consumes a lot of energy. After all, the cavalry, together with the armor of the weapon, weighs more than a hundred pounds. Armed soldiers carrying a hundred pounds of pounds ran wildly, and could not carry them without feeding the concentrate. Even Mongolian horses that are resistant to rough feeding can usually eat grass, but in order to ensure physical fitness during the battle, they must also feed fried soybeans. Even the old yellow cattle, which are more resistant to coarse silk than horses, must add food when arranging the land, otherwise they cannot carry it.

Therefore, Gonzalo de Cordova felt that after losing the northern grain-producing areas, it was difficult for the Vatas dynasty to maintain a cavalry team of tens of thousands of people for a long time. Then, it became poorer and poorer until we couldn't afford so many cavalry. At that time, it will be easier for Spain to dispatch a large army to siege.

At the same time, Gonzalo de Cordova proposed to expand the scale of the light cavalry while digesting the northern territory of Morocco. If you want to completely eliminate the guerrilla scimitar cavalry of the Vatas dynasty in Morocco, you must also prepare large-scale light cavalry. Because heavy cavalry cannot catch up with each other.

After Spain has trained a team of at least seven or eight thousand light cavalry, the remnants of the Vatas dynasty in Morocco are estimated to be too poor to support too many regular cavalry. At this time, by dispatching the Spanish light cavalry team, you can easily encircle the remnants of the Vatas dynasty and completely complete the control of the entire territory of Morocco ...

...

Gonzalo de Córdoba ’s proposal is still very valid, because Spain does not currently have the ability to eliminate more than 10,000 guerrilla Moroccan cavalry. Mainly, I really can't catch up ...

Ferdinand II and Juan III, the father and son, finally agreed to Gonzalo de Cordova's proposal to allow them to withdraw their troops to the north of Dufez. As for the ancient capital of Marrakech, it is naturally destroyed, so as not to become the old nest of the Vatas dynasty ...

In this way, before the evacuation, Gonzalo de Cordova made the forty-five thousand or fifty thousand people strong, and in the ancient city of Marrakech, launched a vigorous demolition ...

The city of this era was not large, and with enough labor in Spain, the demolition of the ancient capital of Marrakech soon came to fruition. The old royal palace in Marrakech and the ancient Koutoubia mosque in Marrakech were all demolished by the Spanish.

At the same time as the forced demolition, Gonzalo de Cordoba also looted the soldiers, looted the city, and robbed the city of valuable things. Moreover, all the houses and furniture that can be ignited were put on fire ...

...

When the Spanish army evacuated, the Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed of the Vatas dynasty rushed with the army into the city and wanted to take back the ancient capital. But after entering the city, the Sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed of the Vatas Dynasty was horrified that the entire city was ruined ...

In this way, even after taking over Marrakech, this destroyed city will not be used. Want to reactivate? Yes, come up with a lot of money ...

However, after losing Wangdufeisi and the northern agricultural area, the Vatas dynasty lost its main source of money and had no money to rebuild Marrakech. Therefore, Marrakech is considered abandoned ...

In this way, after losing the southern political center and economic center like Marrakech, the chance of the Vatas sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Muhammad turning over is even lower. Without the financial support of the prosperous city ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Ouattas sultan Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed is now in fact with the chiefs of the nomadic tribes in Morocco It makes no difference. After running out of money, the strength of Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Muhammad will only become weaker and weaker, and eventually become similar to those of ordinary nomadic tribal chiefs ...

When the strength of Abu Abdullah Burtukali Ibn Mohammed fell to that of the general nomadic tribal chiefs, the tribes of southern Morocco would not necessarily listen to his orders. After all, everyone is about the same strength, why listen to you?

The Sultan of the Vatas dynasty has no noble blood like the Hashemites, and has no great influence. Moreover, the Vatas dynasty has also been usurped since the previous Marin dynasty, and it has only been 37 years since the usurpation was successful. It has not been generally accepted by the Moroccan people. As long as the strength declines, it will be difficult to gain universal recognition.

...

After the Spanish army withdrew to the north, it began to control and cleanse the northern part of Morocco. Originally, according to Gonzalo de Cordova's idea, the Huairou policy should be adopted for the locals, and the people's hearts should be gathered first.

However, at this critical moment, the Spanish Inquisition suddenly jumped out and demanded to take charge of religious affairs in northern Morocco ...

Gonzalo de Cordova was suddenly big because the Inquisition is a group of fanatic religious lunatics who like to oppress pagans the most. But Morocco is basically God, and in the eyes of these Catholic fanatics in the Inquisition, it is definitely the object that should be "purified". Therefore, Gonzalo de Córdoba can foresee that Morocco will definitely not be peaceful in the future ...
