April is the most beautiful season. After all the flowers bloom, the land presents a thriving green. The slightly warm climate breeds the vitality of all things. The gentle wind is mixed with the breath of green grass and soil, and the sun lightly brushes over every plant of green grass. , Reflected into golden emerald - the prairie in Liaodong exudes a vigorous beauty. On this endless prairie like the blue sea, Nurhachi held a large-scale military exercise. This exercise was the largest over the years, with 20,000 people participating; he divided the 20,000 people into ten teams, consisting of himself, his four younger brothers, and the "five tiger generals"—E Yidu, An Fei Yanggu, Fei Yingdong, He Heli, and Hu Erhan led each of them, each leading a team, each team had half horses and half infantry, and carried out the drill with real knives and guns.

There are several exercises he designed, ranging from various formations to split attacks, encirclement, outflanking, sprinting, ambush, wild beasts, sneak attack, breakout, siege and defense, etc., all situations and operations that may occur on the battlefield He has conceived of all the methods of contingency and contingency, and practiced all of them one by one. For ten days in a row, the troops of the brigade practiced on the prairie every day during the day, and camped on the spot at night. On two nights, they practiced sneak attacks at night; The team left the grassland and began the exercise of climbing mountains and ridges to fight among the mountains, valleys, and rivers.

The two stages of the exercise added up to a full half a month, and the entire exercise process was compared to a regular war. The hard work of the participants was no less than that of fighting the enemy on a formal battlefield; fortunately, his army had already After receiving rigorous military training for a long time, after fifteen days of exercises, although he was tired, no one shouted that he couldn't bear it. On the contrary, Nurhachi's own mood was slightly unstable. Nothing can be seen from the surface, his appearance is still handsome, his spirit is still vigorous, his gaze is still terrifying, and he still shows superior martial arts while riding a horse; however, others cannot see it, his own But the heart is sharp, and the heart is burdened with too heavy pressure, and there is a shadow in the heart...

This military exercise, when he publicly announced it, of course he said it was an ordinary exercise, the purpose was to familiarize the soldiers with the battle situation and hone their combat skills; however, there was a voice in the deep and subtle part of his heart. In the ring: "This exercise, of course, is for Nalinbulu! To hone your combat skills is to meet the battle with Nalinbulu!" It is an undeniable fact that Ye He is stronger than Jianzhou Zuowei. What's more, Yehe has united Hada, Huifa, and Ula, and the combined number of troops is five or six times that of Jianzhou Zuowei. ...

He is a person full of self-confidence, but he is not a blindly optimistic person. He never knows the heights of the sky and the earth because of his strong self-confidence, let alone underestimate or deny the strength of the enemy because of his arrogance; therefore, he actively prepares for battle On the one hand, it is unavoidable to produce some psychological pressure, which makes his emotions unusual. Based on his own understanding, he knows that this psychological pressure and emotional shadow cannot be dispelled until the outcome is decided with Nalinbulu. In the state of preparing for the battle-in this respect, I should hope that Nalinbulu will start action as soon as possible. After the decisive battle, my mood and spirit can be relaxed.

However, from another point of view, he hopes that the start of this war can be delayed as much as possible-Jianzhou Zuowei has a lot fewer troops than the enemy, and when the war starts, it is bound to "strike with a few" Then, the "few" side must be "fine"; the better the army is trained, the greater the chance of winning with few; and training the army takes time... "If there is another year--" He silently calculated in his heart, thinking carefully: "One year, at least 10,000 more men can be recruited to train into the army, and weapons can be stepped up to produce twice as many; the intelligence of each department can be better grasped—— If it can be delayed for more than a year, my chances of winning are 80%! Well, I must find a way to delay Nalinbulu's action—"

After thinking about it for several times, he also thought of several plans, cleverly using the relationship with the Ming Dynasty is the easiest one, so he went down to think about the details; on the one hand, he also estimated the actual situation, Li Chengliang has stepped down, and the Ming Dynasty sent a new general officer. The new officer always has to set fire three times before taking office. Nalin Bulu may not dare to make trouble at this moment; and the ministers of various ministries must be busy first. The most important thing to do is to find out the details of the new official. Even if Nalinbulu is bold and wants to cause trouble, the other films may not act with him-this is a very good time to operate.

The newly appointed Liaodong General Qiu Guan is named Yang Shaoxun, and he has been on the line since the first day he took office. There is no Han official who does not like to give gifts. Since he loves to give gifts, there is no official who is not easy to win over. He can use it freely, and once Li Chengliang leaves, he can use it more easily. Therefore, he preliminarily believes that it is feasible to use the containment of the Ming Dynasty to delay Nalinbulu's actions, and he is quite sure. And while he was preparing for the war and trying to postpone the start of the war, a news spread that shocked the entire Liaodong and the Ming court, shocking the vast majority of people who were not mentally prepared. The war started - the powerful army from Japan, victorious in consecutive battles, invaded North Korea like a broken bamboo.
