[1027 Nurhachi Dispatches Troops]
But this is also the treasure army, in this era, any army does not have this kind of treatment, let alone peacetime, it is impossible to eat meat during the New Year.
After weighing, the twenty-five catties of meat were only nineteen catties and two taels, which was a full loss of five catties and eight taels.
Because of the reform of weights and measures, the Heaven and Earth Society are all decimal systems, and they are no longer one catty and sixteen taels elsewhere.
"Report to the president, five pounds and eight taels are missing!" The soldiers in charge of weighing the President's Guard salute.
Wei Bao looked at Madman Tan: "Weijiazhuang's troops are under your control, right?" ”
Crazy Tan knows that this time the matter is big, and it is inevitable to secretly get a little benefit layer by layer, if it is within one-tenth, twenty-five catties and two and a half catties, and he can still help talk, and he steals more than five catties, and two are done, which is not easy to do.
"Punished in accordance with the law." Madman Tan said: "President, the war is coming, can you let these people make up for their mistakes?" ”
"Make up for it? Anyone can be missing in the treasure army, and you can't break the rules! Strictly investigate the matter, all relevant officers were sent to a military court, and the brigade commander, regiment commander, and battalion commander were immediately demoted by one level! You yourself are the temporary commander of this mixed brigade. Wei Bao said directly.
"Yes! President. Madman Tan stood up straight and gave a standard military salute, secretly thinking that the punishment was too heavy.
Wei Bao was still angry: "This matter is reported to the whole army, and the troops from other places will arrive with the report, and they will check the accounts and check the treasury together, and if there is corruption, they will all follow this standard!" Lin Wenbiao, this matter is entrusted to the Public Prosecutor's Office, and your Statistics Office assists. ”
"Yes, President." Lin Wenbiao also stood up and saluted.
Cong Gulen Gege whispered to Wang Qiuya: "Are you so strict with the army?" Won't the people below rebel? ”
"No, the president attaches the most importance to anti-corruption, and this is true in all walks of life, this time in this brigade, at least hundreds of people have to go home, and those who are found to be corrupt will have to go to jail." Wang Qiuya said.
Cong Gulen curled his neck, secretly thinking that this place was really different from the Great Golden Kingdom.
Although Nurhachi is also very ruthless, Cong Gulengege feels that he is still not as good as Wei Bao, because Wei Bao is system-heavy, which is more ruthless than human rule.
As Fan Wencheng reported the situation of the forward investigation back to the camp of Jiannu, Nurhachi, who had already assembled more than 60,000 soldiers at Tashan Fort, immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter.
"The Ming army didn't withdraw from the gates? Also garrisoned in Ningyuan City, why is this? Nurhachi wondered, "There can't be any conspiracy, right?" Have you entered Ningyuan City? ”
"There's no way to get in, there's no one around, there's no way to get in." Fan Wencheng said.
"Are they all Ming Army? There is no treasure army, right? It stands to reason that they should not have given up all the places outside the border. Huang Taiji asked.
"I haven't seen the treasure army yet." Fan Wencheng said: "The defenders of Ningyuan City are very strange, they use the banner of the Ming Army, but they are wearing the uniforms of the Bao Army. But I shouted with the guards, and it was Yuan Chonghuan of Ning Qiandao who spoke, this Yuan Chonghuan didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he scolded our Dajin Kingdom and scolded the Great Khan. ”
As soon as the Jiannu generals heard that Yuan Chonghuan dared to scold the Great Khan and the Dajin Kingdom, they cursed Yuan Chonghuan for not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and they all said that they would roast Yuan Chonghuan alive.
"Are you sure it's Yuan Chonghuan? Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan's people and the treasure army are together? Huang Taiji asked.
"Even if there is a treasure army, the number will not exceed 10,000, because there is no treasure army outside Ningyuan City, only 10,000 or 20,000 Ming troops who are preparing to withdraw, Ningyuan City is not large, and it can accommodate 30,000 soldiers and horses at most." Fan Wencheng said: "It's hard to say how many people there are in Ningyuan City, and it is impossible to judge whether there is a treasure army or not, but the Ming army on Juehua Island should have evacuated at this time, and only a lonely city in Ningyuan City is left outside the pass." ”
Fan Wencheng is still very smart, and he can't blame him for what happens in the future.
"Any news from anywhere else?" Nurhachi asked.
Huang Taiji is in charge of intelligence, in addition to Fan Wencheng's gang, there are several other groups.
"The treasure army has always acted quickly, it is really difficult to judge whether there is a treasure army this time, I agree with what Fan Wencheng said, even if there is, it is not more than 10,000 at most. Most of the Liaodong border army retreated to Gaotaibao and Qiantunbao, and the Ming army did seem to be ready to abandon Guanwai. "Huang Taiji Dao.
"Then why do they want to keep a Ningyuan City?" Nurhachi asked.
"Maybe Ningyuan City is relatively tall, and Qiantunbao, Gaotai Fort, and Ningyuan City are connected in a line, which is conducive to support and easy to defend, even if they want to give up, it is impossible to give up all at once, these three forts can form a barrier on the periphery of Shanhaiguan to avoid Shanhaiguan being directly exposed to my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry." Huang Taiji analyzed.
"You all tell me, will we just stand still and only take the first line of Jinzhou, or will we take advantage of the situation to pursue and take Ningyuan City, Gaotai Fort and Qiantun Fort!?" Nurha Equator: "Now based on all aspects of intelligence, the defenders of Ningyuan City should be about 20,000 Ming troops in Liaodong, and the Bao army may have 10,000. ”
It is impossible to have so many, Nurhachi is deliberately saying more, to see how the generals react.
"We only have an army of less than 70,000, in this harsh winter, it is difficult to mobilize the army, at this time to find the Mongols, I am afraid that the Mongols will not be, the Han Eight Banners are useless in the harsh winter, they can only help the army to transport grain and grass, so if you want to fight, only our Eight Banners are an army." Bao Chengxian analyzed: "If 68,000 against 30,000, if there is really 10,000 treasure troops among them, there is no chance of winning. ”
"If there are 10,000 treasure troops defending the city, we may not be able to take it easily even if we have an army of 100,000." Ning Wan added: "The treasure army has many small cannons, and there are red-coated cannons in Ningyuan City, and there seem to be more than ten of them. ”
"What's wrong with the redcoat cannon?" Mang Gurtai said disappreliantly: "Is Ningyuan City taller than Shenyang City, Liaoyang City, and Guangning City?" Ningyuan can't even be called a city, it's just a fort, and my army of 50,000 people in eight banners is enough to level all the fortresses of the Ming army! ”
"That's right! Brother is right. ”
"The treasure army is a ball, let alone 10,000 treasure troops, 40,000 or 50,000 treasure troops were dispatched last time, and we didn't defeat them!"
"I've long wanted to settle accounts with Baojun again, and this midwinter New Year is a good opportunity! Can the Han people compare with our old hunters who have hunted in the cold winter all their lives? ”
"Great Khan, give the order! Set foot in Ningyuan City! ”
The Jiannu generals were passionate, not stage frightened at all, although they suffered losses in the hands of the Bao Army, but the Bao Army also suffered losses, and everyone was not convinced at all.
In particular, many people did not say it, and they were unwilling to marry Wei Bao, first, Cong Gulenge gave Wei Bao a concubine, Cong Gulenge and the Great Khan were wronged, and second, the Great Jin Kingdom and all of them would be wronged!
They were not convinced.
"The main reason is that we don't have enough food for the winter." Nurha's red eyes were blazing: "Coupled with the retreat of the Ming army like this, if we don't dare to advance, we will be underestimated by the Han people." ”
The civilian officials heard that Nurhachi wanted to attack, but everyone's thoughts were not unified, and they also changed their words.
"Great Khan, the minions think that Ningyuan City should be attacked to relieve the food shortage." Bao Chengxian changed his tone and said: "Wei Bao, a teenager, has two small coins in his hand, calling for wind and rain in Liaodong, and recently heard that Wei Bao was repeatedly promoted by the emperor, he must be arrogant at this time, this is a good time." ”
"Yes, the Great Khan has many generals, and my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is invincible, so I don't need to overestimate the Han people too much." Ning Wan also quickly changed his tone.
Bao Chengxian and Ning Wan are the best of the Han strategists in Jiannu, and Fan Wencheng and a group of lowly Han strategists also changed their tone with Bao Chengxian and Ning Wan's words.
All of a sudden, the morale of the high-level of Jiannu came up, and the more everyone talked, the more energetic they became, and it seemed that they would immediately send troops and kill all the Han people outside the Guanguan, pointing directly at Shanhaiguan.
"Amma, Erchen is willing to lead the troops!" Mang Gurtai shouted for battle, and then his sons such as Daishan, Amin, Tanggu, Azig, and Dolgon, who was still very young, also rushed to fight.
Huang Taiji was opposed, thinking that it would be beneficial to him to maintain the status quo, try to get rid of the Mongols first, and then fight with the Bao army in Korea, but everyone's mood was so high, and Nurhachi also had obvious intentions to send troops, so Huang Taiji did not dare to oppose casually.
Nurhachi is indeed in a hurry, if he is not in a hurry, he will not put nearly 70,000 troops on the front line of Daxing Fort and Tashan Fort.
"Huang Taiji, why don't you speak?" Nurhachi attaches great importance to the idea of Huang Taiji, in fact, Nurhachi has always regarded Huang Taiji as his successor.
In the original history, Nurhachi died, and Dolgon's biological mother, Abahai, was forced to commit suicide.
Huang Taiji inherited the throne with the support of the three major beylers, Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai.
Among them, the Great Bel Daishan is the second son of Nurhachi, Amin is the nephew of Nurhachi, Mang Gurtai is the fifth son of Nurhachi, and Huang Taiji is the eighth son of Nurhachi.
The reason why the three major Baylors did not become emperors themselves, but supported Huang Taiji, was because Huang Taiji was both humanistic and martial, scheming, and ambitious.
When he was the crown prince, the Great Bel was magnanimous and prestigious, but he was slightly inferior in strategy and decision, and later he was swayed by women, made mistakes, did a lot of stupid things, and fought with his father Khan Nurhachi for the house, and abused his son Shuoto.
Of course, the most important thing is that Daishan's prestige is rising, and the other Baylors all look at his face and act, so that no one dares to speak when Nurhachi reprimands Daishan, which makes Nurhachi dissatisfied, so Nurhachi abolished Daishan's position as the crown prince.
Since then, the generation of good people has been discouraged, depressed, and does not want to forge ahead.
After Nurhachi's death, he preferred to support Huang Taiji rather than ascend to the throne of Khan himself, lacking courage and courage, and fearing that he would not be able to control several other people who were unwilling to be subordinate.
Erbel Amin, he is just Nurhachi's nephew, not a direct lineage, and does not have the capital to compete with Huang Taiji.
Sanbeile Mang Gurtai is reckless by nature, brave and unscrupulous, and once stabbed his biological mother in order to win Nurhachi's favor, and the Dafu Jin Fucha clan who was retired by Nurhachi is notorious, and he is not the opponent of Huang Taiji.
In 1626, Huang Taiji was called the emperor, and in 1636, in order to consolidate his position, Huang Taiji got rid of the two big tigers of Amin and Mang Gurtai, who were restricting him everywhere.
Moreover, during this period, the right-hand men of the Ming Dynasty were eliminated, Mongolia and Korea.
And defeated the Ming army in the Battle of Songjin, so that the Ming Dynasty has been in a slump ever since.
It laid the foundation for the later Dolgon Dingding Central Plains.
These can be seen Huang Taiji's majestic strategy.
With the purge of his former political enemies, Huang Taiji's spearhead began to be directed at Dorgon.
If it weren't for the death of Huang Taiji's beloved concubine Hai Lanzhu, she was too sad and died soon, and she didn't have time to eradicate Dolgon.
Dolgon couldn't be regent at all, let alone regent of his uncle.
Although Dorgon was thoughtful and calm, he was sometimes too cautious and cautious to take risks and not decisive enough.
After the death of Huang Taiji, there were only two real contenders for the throne, Dolgon and Huang Taiji's eldest son, Hauge, who was in the prime of life.
It was entirely possible for Dolgon to ascend to the throne by virtue of his prestige, military exploits, and military prowess at the time, but he took a safe compromise and supported the throne of Huang Taiji's youngest son, Fulin.
Later, it was because I always felt that the time was not ripe, and I didn't kick out Fulin, who was about to be in power.
Then he died young at the age of 39, and was finally removed from the title by Fulin, confiscated his family property, and even exhumed the grave and whipped the corpse.
Dolgon was at least two levels below Huang Taiji's level.
In terms of governance, Huang Taiji established the post-Qing Dynasty with the name Chongde and developed extensively. Turn enemies into friends and draw opponents on the same front.
Huang Taiji is not only the emperor of the Manchu people, but also has the consciousness and courage to become the leader of a multi-ethnic unified country, and Huang Taiji definitely has this ability.
Huang Taiji has no siblings, and the maternal family Ye He is the same as Jianzhou, and there is no congenital formation of foiling forces.
Despite this death in Nurhachi, Huang Taiji is already a posture of dominating the world.
The means and forbearance shown in the secret battle to seize the throne were the only ones in Jianzhou at that time, and no one could compare.
Huang Taiji has no obvious shortcomings in all aspects such as morality, strategy, military literacy, and overall situation.
At the same time, Huang Taiji cultivated a successor, Hauge.
As the successor, he was superior to Dolgon's performance in every way.
So Wei Bao always felt that Nurhachi would not pass on the throne to Dolgon.
Nurhachi must be considered a hero, or at least a hero.
From a developmental point of view, it is impossible for Nurhachi to pass on the throne to a young child who has no military merits.
There are four major Baylors, Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji, and Amin.
Three Baylor has a strong military feat, a great strategy, and a network of connections.
At that time, under the co-rule of the Eight and the Shobel, Dorgon had no rights and no support, except for his concubine Abahai, the eldest concubine of Ejiula.
Secondly, in real history, Nurhachi was not the most affectionately in Dorgon.
Dorgon was not Nurhachi's favorite child, and Nurhachi favored Dord.
After Huang Taiji's accession to the throne, Dolgon has been well developed, in addition to his courage and wisdom, it is inseparable from Huang Taiji's promotion.
Dolgon's half-brother Azig and Huang Taiji did not deal with each other, and Duoduo had a very good relationship with Azig, and Huang Taiji intended to suppress Azig and Duoduo and elevate Dorgon.
In real history, Dolgon was only developed after Huang Taiji ascended the throne.
At the time of Nurhachi's death, Dolgon could say nothing, not even qualified to go to the Octagonal Palace, but only an ordinary one of Nurhachi's many sons, let alone inherit the throne.
Huang Taiji's biological mother is Yehenara clan.
When Nurhachi did not unify the Jurchens, the relationship between Jianzhou and Ye He was very tense, so naturally Ye He Fujin and Huang Taiji were also involved.
Among Nurhachi's many children, Fujin, the children of Dafu Jin Gundai, Mang Gurtai, Mang Ancient Sites, Derge, etc., including their adopted son Amin, they support each other.
The eldest brother Chu Ying, and the second elder brother Dai Shan, although they look good, they have outstanding military achievements.
Huang Taiji has only one Cong Gulen Gege, still young, Huang Taiji can't rely on his mother's family at all, but with his wise political skills and unique personality charm, he has won the support of Hu Erhan and Eyidu among the five ministers, and even Yue Tuo and Sakhalian, the sons of Daishan, also support Huang Taiji.
What Nurhachi left to Huang Taiji was not a splendid country, but a mess.
Nurhachi pursued a high-pressure policy, and the Han Chinese were slaves in Dajin.
After Huang Taiji took power, he began to elevate the Han people, rule the Han with the Han, reuse the Han Chen, and the Manchu and Han families, laying a solid foundation for Manchukuo.
Hereafter
In many film and television dramas, in order to make the plot look good, there is a plot of Nurhachi's edict passing on the throne to Dolgon.
In his later years, Nurhachi did dot on Dorgon's biological mother Abahai and favored Abahai's children very much, and Dolgon was also very smart and capable, which won Nurhachi's favor.
At that time, the Manchus had not yet unified China, and the imperial system had not yet been established.
At that time, the military leaders were capable people, and the election system was implemented.
So after Nurhachi's death, Huang Taiji set up a joint government system of the four major beylers.
The reason why Huang Taiji had to kill Abahai was because Abahai was his mother-in-law and had an identity advantage.
And she is very smart, her three sons have strong military power, so they must be killed, so as not to grow up in the future, and not because she has a so-called edict to be destroyed.
If Nurhachi had been sober before his death, he should have understood that even if he passed the throne to Dolgon, Dolgon would not be able to sit still at that time.
If Nurhachi really passed on the throne to Dolgon, with the personality of Huang Taiji, he would definitely kill Dolgon to prevent future troubles.
The emperor will not believe in the oath, they even dare to confront the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, what is the oath of mere oath.
Huang Taiji is a super strong and cold-blooded person, even if it is his own sister Mang Guji, once he feels dissatisfied, he will be Ling Chi.
It seems that this is the only princess in history who has been Lingchi.
Mang Guji's two daughters, Huang Taiji, did not let go, how could Huang Taiji let go of such a terrible potential enemy, his younger brother Dorgon.
After Huang Taiji eliminated his political enemies and completely grasped the authority, he trusted Dolgon and took good care of his younger brother.
From this point of view, Nurhachi should not have touched the idea of passing the throne to Dorgon.
In the impression of many people in later generations, there are many contradictions between Dolgon and Huang Taiji, and some people even describe Huang Taiji as having a hatred for Dolgon's wife.
Dolgon, on the other hand, is described as a man who was highly valued by Nurhachi and almost succeeded to the throne.
In his later years, Nurhachi was very fond of his eldest concubine Abahai, who was also very competitive, and gave birth to him three precious sons, namely Azig, Dolgon, and Dordor.
The largest, Azig, was born in 1605 and was crowned Baylor in 1626.
Dorgon was born in 1612 and was also crowned Baylor in 1626.
At this time, the ages of the two are 21 and 14 years old, which is not too big.
But if you compare their status with that of Dodor, you will find that the difference is not half a star.
Born in 1614 A.D., Dordor was knighted Baylor in 1620, when he was still a six-year-old baby.
When Nurhachi was alive, there was no prince to say that the highest status below the emperor was Baylor, which was also a potential condition for leading an independent team and even becoming the banner owner.
There is so much age difference between Duoduo and his two elder brothers, and he was crowned Baylor at a young age, which can undoubtedly show Nurhachi's favor for Duoduo.
This includes the reason why Nurhachi came to have a son, and there are also factors that make Abahai stand in a stable position.
Because when he first favored Abahai, Nurhachi still had many minor children, and there were many concubines behind him, but as time went by, the rest of the concubines were old and decrepit, and when Abahai gave birth to Duoduo, he was exactly 24 years old.
A 55-year-old man, and a young woman in the prime of her life, could easily imagine and understand how much Nurhachi would have loved Abahai at that time, and how much he doted on his youngest son, Dodor.
At this time, Dorgon was actually not favored, and even to some extent was still stained with the light of his brother Dord.
In 1616 A.D., that is, on the first day of the first month of the Mandate of Heaven, Azig and Dordo were ranked 6th and 7th respectively in the list of nobles who could personally bow to Nurhachi, and Dolgon was not on the list.
In other words, Dorgon at this time was neither as mature and brave as Azig, nor as playful and cute as Dordor, and if it weren't for the fact that he was Abahai's son, Nurhachi might not have given him a second look.
Although Nurhachi also has a son who is younger than Duoduo, the biological mother of this sixteenth son is unknown, and the son is expensive according to his mother, so naturally he cannot be compared with Duoduo and can be ignored.
After Nurhachi established the Eight Banners system, he directly controlled only the two troops of the Yellow Banner and the Yellow Banner, and the remaining six banners were handed over to the Belles, among which in the Eight Banners, the number of the Yellow Banner was up to 45 Niulu, and the rest of the banners were mostly more than 20, Nurhachi divided the Zhenghuang Banner into three and handed it over to the three Dolgon brothers to manage, with an average of 15 Niulu per person.
Although the numbers were equal, according to Nurhachi's original wishes, Azig would inherit the Yellow Banner, and the largest number would be inherited by the youngest son, Dodor.
As for Dolgon, he might be given another flag.
But all that changed because of Nurhachi's sudden death.
After a power game, Huang Taiji became the ultimate victor and became the emperor.
At this time, Dolgon did not become the banner master, although he still had 15 cattle handed over to him by Nurhachi, but he could only attach himself to the white flag of his brother Azig, and then Dolgon began his own counterattack.
Some scholars once handed over the two yellow banners to Azig and Duoduo as a symbol of the appointment of Dorgon as the prince, and this view does make some sense, because if the handover is successfully completed, the three brothers will have more military power in their hands than the other major bailes, and they will also have more strength to compete for the throne.
But there may be another possibility in history, the inheritance of the family business by the youngest son is itself a tradition, which can be referred to after the death of Genghis Khan, who left the throne to Ogedei, but left his army to his favorite youngest son, Torre.
The right to fight and the position of the Khan are not necessarily related, and besides, if you really want to establish Dorgon, wouldn't it be better to give one of the two yellow flags to Dolgon.
Moreover, Dolgon was only given the title of Belle in the year of Nurhachi's death, which was too late.
If Nurhachi really had the idea of making Lidolgon the prince, it would not be better to pay attention to it directly in terms of status.
A large part of the reason why later generations believed that the throne itself was to be passed to Dorgon was because of Dorgon's later achievements, and then subconsciously pushed backwards.
In fact, it was Huang Taiji who really turned over and rose rapidly in Dolgon's status, if there was really a so-called battle for the throne, then Huang Taiji would be too relieved and too caring for Dolgon.
In 1628, Dolgon followed Huang Taiji into Mongolia and achieved great success.
In the second year, Dolgon followed Huang Taiji to attack Beijing, and through Dolgon, he took the lead again and again, showing his loyalty again and again.
Huang Taiji's attention and trust in Dolgon is increasing day by day, although Duoduo and Azig have also participated in many battles, but their performance in front of Huang Taiji is obviously not as good as Dolgon's initiative, and gradually Dolgon, who was not valued before, began to surpass his brother and younger brother in status.
In 1631, Huang Taiji imitated the official system of the Ming Dynasty and set up six ministries, and Dolgon was appointed as the head of the official department, which was equivalent to handing over the appointment of part of the imperial court officials to Dolgon.
It can be seen that Huang Taiji's trust in Dolgon is already very high, which also lays the foundation for Dolgon's regent after Huang Taiji's death.
Later, when Dolgon was ordered to conquer Lin Dan Khan, he obtained the jade seal of the Yuan Dynasty, and then dedicated it to Huang Taiji, which is undoubtedly the best vote.
With the rise of Dolgon's status, the military power in his hands also underwent a qualitative change.
Huang Taiji was first dismissed as the owner of the Azig White Banner and replaced by Dolgon.
Immediately afterwards, the most powerful white flag in Dord's hand was reversed with the inlaid white flag in Dorgon's hand, and Dorgon officially became the owner of the white flag.
It was at this time that Dorgon became the most powerful of the three brothers, and he also became the best of the many princes, Baylor.
Judging from this history, Dolgon and Huang Taiji not only did not have the slightest contradiction, but there was still a deep trust between the two.
Judging from the results, the reason why Dolgon was able to achieve many achievements later was inseparable from the support of Huang Taiji.
It was because Dolgon hugged Huang Taiji's thigh that he was able to turn over, and the relationship between the two was not as bad as it was described in later TV dramas.
As for whether there is a love triangle between Huang Taiji, Dolgon, and Da Yuer, it's hard to say, after all, it is very chaotic, and men and women can have regular contact, not to mention brothers and daughters-in-law, even elders can be in contact, and several of Nurhachi's concubines have vaguely made trouble with their sons.
Much more open than the Han people, hahahaha.
"Amma, Erchen feels that this is the time to take a step forward, but he needs to be cautious." What Huang Taiji said was completely different from what he thought in his heart.
"Hahahaha, okay, sure enough, you still understand Amma's thoughts." Nurhachi laughed happily, "It's decided, tomorrow the army will be dispatched!" ”
"Ama (Great Khan) is wise!" The officials and generals of the Jiannu people knelt down and kowtowed and shouted together, screaming, and laughed loudly together, as if the victory was in hand.
This time, Jiannu's goal was unprecedentedly clear, and morale was unprecedentedly high.
Everyone was actually prepared that there would be a small number of treasure troops in Ningyuan City, and they all felt that the number would definitely not be large.
They said that the treasure army might have 10,000, but in their hearts they estimated that there would be a maximum of 1 or 2,000.
At this time, Jiannu had a very clear understanding of the structure of the Bao Army, and often dealt with the Bao Army Cavalry Regiment.
The cavalry regiment of the treasure army is an establishment of 1,500 to 2,000 people.
Therefore, in Jiannu's view, the army of the treasure army dispatched to Ningyuan City to help the Ming army assist in the defense of the eastern border army of Liaodong should be about this number.
Immediately, Nurhachi asked people to quickly notify the Horqin steppe to help the field, and asked the Mongolian Eight Banners to keep an eye on Lin Dan Khan's tribe.
Lin Dan Khan's tribe has two or three hundred thousand people, which is inconspicuous in other places, but in Liaodong, it plays a pivotal role, especially Jiannu is not much behind the Bao army in strength at this time, otherwise Jiannu would not dare to use his brains to attack Ningyuan City.
Jiannu was very fast, marched the next day, and arrived outside Ningyuan in the evening to set up camp.
The army of more than 65,000 did not surround Ningyuan City.
Nurhachi didn't think about completely annihilating the Ming army and the treasure army, all he thought about was to drive away the defensive forces of Ningyuan City.
