Nurhaci is a great military strategist, at least that's what I think.

As a nomadic leader who has never been to a private school, military academy, and has not received systematic military training, Nurhaci knows what war is and how to win war. His level of battle command has reached the level of perfection.

In Fushun, Qinghe and a series of subsequent battles, he showed amazing military talent. Whether it was judging the opponent's direction, choosing a fighter jet, or playing tricks, it was impeccable.

There is no doubt that he was the most outstanding military general of this era - before those two men appeared.

But for the Ming Dynasty, this very outstanding military strategist was just a very bad robber. Not only was it bad, but it was also cruel.

After the battle of Qinghe and Fushun, Nurhaci, who had been killed after robbing and killing, not only did not apologize, but did not receive a receipt, but also did an extremely shameless thing.

He selected 300 local civilians and killed 299 people in front of Fushun Pass, leaving only one.

Nurhaci cut off the man's ear and asked him to bring back a letter to explain his reasons for his unreasonable killing:

"If you think I did something wrong, make an appointment for a fight! If you think I did something right, you can give me gold, silver and cloth, so that you can calm down!"

There have been many kidnappers who have seen them, but this is the first time they have seen them who have first broken up the votes and then blackmailed them.

The Ming Dynasty was not the Southern Song Dynasty and there was no habit of giving gifts. Their policy was never to compromise with the robbers, let alone the robbers who had torn up their tickets. Since we were going to fight, let's fight seriously.

In March of the 47th year of Wanli (1619), after a long period of preparation, the Ming army assembled and launched an attack on Hetuala.

The Ming army was divided into four routes, east, west, south and north, led by four generals. The commander and attack route were as follows: Liu Jing, the commander of the East Road, attacked from North Korea.

Du Song, the commander of the West Road, attacked from Fushun.

North Road Commander Ma Lin attacked from Kaiyuan.

The commander of the South Road Li Rubai attacked from Qinghe.

There is only one target for the offensive, Hertuala.

The above four Ming troops had a total of 120,000 people, and were drawn from various places, and these four commanders were also of great origin.

Li Rubai has the highest status. He is Li Chengliang's son and Li Rusong's younger brother, but his level is the lowest. It is unfair to say that he can't fight. It is more nonsense to say that he can't fight.

Ma Lin's father is Ma Fang. This person has never been mentioned before, but he is very powerful. His son Ma Lin was originally a literati and became a general. As for Mr. Ma's combat level, I believe you already know it.

This is the basic situation of these two routes, and as far as the commander is concerned, there is really no chance.

But the other two routes are completely different.

Liu Jing, the commander of the East Road, was also an old acquaintance. He used a big knife weighing more than 120 kilograms and was "rotating like flying", first attacking Japan and then sweeping the southwest. The "Three Major Conquests of Wanli" fought two major conquests, and he was determined to command the East Road.

But among the four armies, the biggest main force was not the East Road, and the most powerful general was not Liu Jing. These two honors belonged to the West Road Army, as well as its commander, Du Song.

Du Song, a native of Yulin, Shaanxi, was formerly appointed as the governor of Shaanxi, nicknamed Du Taishi.

As mentioned earlier, the Taishi was a first-rank official title in the court. Very few people received this title. Except for Zhang Juzheng, other winners were generally dead and recognized.

But the title that General Du received was indeed granted by someone else, but... it was not the court.

When he was guarding the border, he often took the initiative to attack Mongolia. He was extremely fierce, with more than a hundred battles in total, without any defeat. The Mongols were afraid of being beaten by him, and begging for mercy was useless. It was said that the Taishi was the largest among the officials in the court, so he called him Taishi.

General Du is not only brave but also looks extraordinary. Because he has been fighting for the past year, his face is full of scars and his face is extremely ferocious. It is said that people can tremble constantly when they look at it.

But this fierce man who was willing to accept the disadvantage of Liu Jing, came here in shackles this time, because he had just made a mistake not long ago.

Although juniper is very strong, it has a problem: be cautious.

The so-called petty mind is usually anger and can’t get along with others, but what makes people laugh and cry is that Mr. Du Song is petty mind and can’t get along with himself.

For example, before, he had quarreled with people. With the temper of a military general, he could not kill people in anger, but Brother Du became a monk in anger.

This is really a strange thing, and it makes people unable to understand it, but before others can figure it out, Du Song figured it out, so he returned to secular life and continued to do his murderous career.

Later, he was promoted to the position of the general in Liaodong, but he was promoted and his temper did not change at all. He suffered losses in battle (not a defeat). He changed to someone else and wrote a review and came back next time.

But this brother was not sure what was wrong, so he wanted to commit suicide. At least he was stopped by someone but still kept calm. He burned the military warehouse with a torch and was driven home on his crime. This time he returned to his hometown.

Although he had experienced so many things after so many years, his colleagues were surprised to find that this person had not changed at all. He started to scream as soon as he reported to Shenyang (Mingjun General Camp):

"I'm here this time to capture Nurhaci alive. Don't rob me of any of you!"

It's not a good thing, who will compete with you?

Facts have also proved that no one robbed him of this glorious mission, and even Liu Jing did not dare to do so. Therefore, the most elite Western Route Army became his subordinate.

The above four Ming troops had a total of 120,000 people, and the general situation was that. There were many people in the Ming Dynasty, the forest was too big, and there were all kinds of people, and all birds were flying, mixed people, literati, and fierce people, all of them were available.

I missed that there is another bird man - Yang Hao, the governor of Liaodong.

Yang Hao is a person who has made a comeback. To be honest, I don’t really want this person to come out again, but unfortunately, I am not a director and I don’t have the right to change actors.

As a helpless bystander, watching its opening and ending, except sighing, only sighing.

The Ming army participated in the war consisted of seven provinces across the country, North Korea and Ye He's troops, and decent generals were drawn to command it. The army had a total of 120,000 people, claiming to be 470,000. This was the largest military operation in the Ming Dynasty since the Tumu Fort Incident.

To achieve something, it takes 120,000 people, but to make a bad thing, one person is enough.

From this perspective, Yang Hao should be considered a very accomplished person.

Since the defeat of the Korean War, Yang Hao has been calm for a while. However, although this person does not know how to engage in military affairs, he can have relationships. In addition, he is still relatively honest. Twenty years later, he became the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right censor of the Censorate. In addition, he also joined the organization - Zhejiang Party.

The chief minister of the court at that time was Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the Zhejiang Party. The chief minister of the Zhejiang Party naturally had to use the generals of the Zhejiang Party, so this glorious task fell on Yang Hao.

Although many Donglin Party later used Yang Hao to attack Fang Congzhe, to be fair, Mr. Fang was also a sucker in this matter.

I checked it and found that the date of birth of Brother Yang Hao was unknown, but he was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli (1580). Considering his IQ and performance, the possibility of passing the exam before the age of 20 is really small. It is possible to be at thirty or forty to be confused.

In this way, in the 47th year of Wanli (1619), Uncle Yang was at least 60 years old. Among the military generals at that time, he was probably the only one who had experienced and had fought wars.

Fang Shoujiao has no choice.

Therefore, there is no choice in the end of this war.

On February 21, 1619, Yang Hao was in charge of Chenyang and announced his troops to be sent.

Shortly after the order is issued, the return:

It rained heavily today and I couldn't leave.

If you can't leave, then take a rest.

This rest lasts four days. On February 25, Yang Hao said that he would send troops today.

Shortly after the order was issued, he returned:

Snow fell in Liaodong, roads were blurred, and requested to be delayed.

For decades, although Mr. Yang Hao has not been good at fighting, he is not good at being a human being. He rarely blushed with others. He also accepts rationalization suggestions. Since it is too heavy rain that he can accept it, and it seems that there is no problem with heavy snow that is too late.

In this world, good people are not afraid of bad people, they are afraid of people who are good and bad, and are frustrated for no reason.

Yang Hao was just a scumbag. I don’t know what was wrong with it, but suddenly got angry:

"The country raises scholars only for today. If the situation is delayed, military law will be carried out!"

After finishing, I hung the sword above outside the door, which means, whoever dares to speak again, will do one by one.

It is a gratifying congratulation that I have been cowardly for decades and suddenly rise up.

However, the next scene made Mr. Yang unable to get up.

According to convention, before going to the army, a ceremony is held, usually a traitor or traitor person is to kill the sacrifice flag, and then kill a few animals to sacrifice to the sky.

When sacrificing the flag, I found a deserter from Fushun and killed it with one knife, but when sacrificing the sky, there was a big problem.

Facts have proved that sometimes it is much more difficult to slaughter animals than to slaughter people. I don’t know whether the bull demon king came to earth or the killing of the bull is too dull, but it was stabbed with a knife and kicked with his feet several times before killing the cow.

In a feudal society, we naturally had to engage in some feudal superstition. When this happened during the sacrifice to heaven, everyone was talking about it. However, Mr. Yang Hao suddenly surpassed the times and showed his fearless spirit of not believing in ghosts and gods. He firmly issued an order:

Go to the expedition!

Then, he did something stupid, something creepy.

Before going to the war, Yang Hao wrote a letter of his time, place of expedition, and direction of attack, and asked someone to send it out. He also repeatedly reminded him that he must be given a guarantee.

The name of the recipient is Nurhaci.

Many future generations find it difficult to understand his actions, and some believe that he is suspected of being a traitor.

But I think it is not surprising to do such a thing with Yang Hao's IQ.

In Yang Hao's opinion, he had an army of 120,000, and Nurhaci's subordinates had only 60,000 troops. Du Song and Liu Jing, who were under him, were experienced and experienced, had no problem dealing with the guerrillas in the valley.

Based on this understanding, Yang Hao believed that as a great army of the Celestial Empire, it was necessary to write this letter.

After successfully killing a cow and writing letters to demonstrate, the four armies officially set off, known in history as the "Battle of Sarhu", which kicked off.

But before the prologue begins, the end of the battle is actually destined.

Because for hundreds of years almost everyone has overlooked a basic problem: this Ming army alone cannot eliminate Nurhaci.

Although Nurhaci's army had only 60,000 people, it was through many battles and was extremely elite, and was mainly cavalry. The Ming army was different, with 120,000 people from all over the world, which was really a piece of cake. Except for Du Song and Liu Jing's troops, their combat effectiveness was quite unreliable.

In terms of command level, it is even more impossible to say. You know, Mr. Nurhaci is not a bandit in the village. He has seen the world when he was with Li Chengliang. In addition, this kind of man is talented and has great military talent. If Li Rusong was still alive, he would probably have a good match. With Du Song and Liu Jing's abilities, he would not be able to withstand it.

Strength, this is the truth of failure.

Yang Hao’s mistake was not that he did anything, but that he did nothing.

In fact, failure was destined from the day he took over, because with the strength of the Ming army at that time, it was not easy to win, and with him, it became impossible.
