Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 147 What is self-inflicted?
(PS: Dazhang’s update has been delivered, please ask for a monthly ticket with the cheek.)
Yuan Chonghuan, the minister of Ningyuan's military preparations, would like to play: Wei Zhongxian, the factory minister, has made great achievements in the country, and it has been inscribed in gold and stone. , Tao Wen, Ji Yong, etc., as well as items such as armored weapons, horse hanging curtains, etc. to defend against the enemy inside and outside the pass, are all purchased with family funds, and they are released every day to help military supplies.The ministers are determined to patrol, strictly police the generals of the battalion, dare not be cowardly and self-serving, dare not pass on the hidden strings, change the false into the real, turn the good into the real, and change the timidity into courage, so as to have today.Who is the best among the ministers in the ancient times!The ministers of the factory are dedicated to raising captives, helping the dangerous frontier, setting up dangerous equipment, and standing in a golden soup. For their merits, please set up a shrine in Ningyuan to illuminate the sun and the moon.

It is convenient to have a relationship and a backer. Without much effort, Young Master Zhang obtained a copy of the original memorial written by Ning Qiandao from the Ministry of War.After reading this unedited handwritten copy, Young Master Zhang curled his lips and muttered: "No idea, but ability. Before I give the nine thousand-year-old seminary temple next to the Hanlin Academy, you are the first to repair it in Ningyuan City? Pick up people's teeth, I thought you could play some new tricks."

"Boss, what do you think of this person and this matter? I think this person is very dangerous!" Song Xiance said darkly: "When we were in Jinzhou before, as long as Ning Yuan knew about our military situation, Jiannu would definitely know about it. As long as we deliberately leak information to Ning Yuan, Jian Nu will always make corresponding adjustments, and that Jin Qizheng committed suicide suddenly, leaving a suicide note to resist all charges of embezzlement of food and salary-if there is nothing tricky in it, no one will believe it! The students even suspect that he is Jiannu's traitor in the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty!"

"It's not a traitor, at least I believe he is not a traitor." Young Master Zhang tore up the handwritten copy, handed it to Zhang Shitou next to him to burn, and said indifferently: "He is the second year of Tianqi from the county magistrate of Shaowu. The one who was promoted to be the supervisor of the Shanhaiguan Army had only been in Liaodong for three or four years. He had never fought against Jiannu, let alone been captured. He had no chance or motive to rebel against Daming and give Jiannu the chance—but, what about him being as clean as water? I’m the first one who doesn’t believe it! Mr. Song, you probably don’t know that when I arrived in Shanhaiguan last year, I asked Xiao Chuan to use the power of Dongchang to secretly investigate the situation in his hometown in Guangdong, and found that his family was very poor before he became an official. Poverty, but now, his younger brother Yuan Chongyu is already the second largest salt merchant in Guangdong! He is richer than my family! The official cleanliness is like water, shit!"

"Boss, do you think he is not a traitor? Then when you attacked Shengjing last time, why did you ask Eunuch Ji and the others to deliberately give false information to Ning Yuan? Is this your temptation to him, Boss?" Song Xiance asked in surprise: "Besides that At that time, Jin Qizhen had already committed suicide in fear of crime, but Jiannu followed the false information that we retreated to the Horqin grassland and chased after him. Isn't this the ironclad proof that he is Jiannu's traitor?"

"Is there any evidence that it must be him? We leaked false information to Ningyuan. There are so many people in Ningyuan City who may provide false information to Jiannu. Who can prove that he is a traitor?" Young Master Zhang asked back.Song Xiance was taken aback, and asked again: "Boss, do you think he was not the traitor who leaked the false information to Jiannu?"

"Although I'm not very sure, I think he is the one who leaked the false information in all likelihood—however, he is still not Jiannu's traitor!" Young Master Zhang said a very contradictory statement.Song Xiance, who hadn't rebelled with Li Zicheng, was a little tender after all. He was confused by what Master Zhang said, scratched his head in doubt and said, "Nine times out of ten, he was the one who leaked false information, but he wasn't the one who built it." The slave's traitor, then who is he?"

"He is a person who is obsessed with power and uses unscrupulous methods!" Young Master Zhang said slowly: "The two countries are fighting each other, and if they don't kill each other, in order to grasp the enemy's movements and understand the enemy's situation, the Liaodong generals are more or less in secret. There is some connection between Mao Wenlong and Jiannu. During the Jinzhou War, we exchanged envoys with Jiannu, which can be regarded as being connected with Jiannu. He must not be exempt. As for how to leak information and what information to Jiannu ——The article here is too big. For example, like us, he leaked information to Jiannu to gain the initiative on the battlefield; he leaked information to Jiannu, and his intention was not to betray the country and seek glory, but to get rid of me!"

"Get rid of you? Boss, you don't have a conflict of interest with him?" Song Xiance said in surprise: "Although you read a book by his confidant Jin Qiyi because of the discrepancies in Jinyou's grain accounts, you didn't involve him? Besides, Jin Qizhen committed suicide in fear of crime, so it is even more impossible for him to be implicated, so why did he go out of his way to get rid of you?"

"Master Song, you are not in the officialdom, so you only see the appearance, not the inside." Young Master Zhang sighed, stared at the blue sky and white clouds with his hands behind his back, and asked lightly: "Master Song, please recall carefully." After we followed Gaodi to Liaodong to take office, that important position became vacant?"

"Governor of Liaodong!" Song Xiance blurted out.Young Master Zhang nodded slightly, and continued: "That's right. Although Yu Anxing was still in office at that time, he was implicated by Liuhe's defeat. It was only a matter of time before he was dismissed and demoted. If officials were not transferred from other places to take over, he was qualified to sit in Liaodong." He and Sun Yuanhua took that position. Later, Sun Yuanhua was transferred to the governor of Denglai. He took the position of governor of Liaodong as a matter of course. But Gaodi brought me, who was equal in office to him, to Liaodong, and gave him the post of governor of Liaodong. The selection of candidates has brought about variables. The subsequent imperial court has not appointed a new governor of Liaodong for a long time, and I am not only the godson of nine thousand years old, but also Gaodi's right and left arm. Establishing extraordinary achievements—basically, as long as I am willing, the post of governor of Liaodong is mine. Master, if you were him, what would you do?"

"Of course it's to kill you, my boss!" Song Xiance didn't shy away from it, and spoke out his intentions confidently.Young Master Zhang nodded with a smile, "Yes, and it is too dangerous to kill me directly, and if you are not careful, you may be involved in the whole family, so he provided Jian Nu with the fake news I deliberately spread, and used Jian Nu's hand to get rid of me. "Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang closed his eyes lightly, sighed and said: "Although I don't want to think so badly of him, but Jiannu launched an attack on Jinzhou ahead of time, and he was tricked into reporting to the court that I have betrayed, saying Maybe it's the result of him trying to get rid of me."

"In other words, he invited Ningyuan to give the Nine-thousand-year-old seminary this time, and he probably came here for the position of governor of Liaodong." Song Xiance twirled the mouse's beard and muttered: "Boss, you have returned to the capital for more than an hour. It's been a month, and the new official position has not been settled yet, and the person has never returned to Liaodong. Anyone with a little brains should have guessed that you accept it as soon as you see it, and you don't want to go back to Liaodong. He has no employer, you, the best A strong opponent began to boldly please Jiuqian with confidence, and wanted to seek the position of governor of Liaodong, because he knew that as long as you don't want to go back to Liaodong, Jiuqian can only choose from other candidates. If his flattery is comfortable, his chances of winning will be even greater."

Young Master Zhang nodded solemnly, expressing that his views were consistent with Song Xiance's.Song Xiance gritted his teeth, and was about to say something more, when Master Zhang's study was suddenly pushed away a little far away, and Xiong Tingbi and Gao Di, who were discussing the Liaodong Army situation in the study, came out one after another with different expressions, Xiong Tingbi was very angry Rushing back directly to the Kuayuan where his room is located, Gao Di shook his head and smiled wryly, walking in front of Young Master Zhang and Song Xiance with a disappointed expression.Young Master Zhang asked with a wry smile: "Lord Gao, it seems that you and my father-in-law are not having a good conversation, right? His old man has such a temper, so what's wrong with him, my generation of father-in-law will apologize to you."

"It's okay, Master Xiong's bad temper, I knew about it more than ten years ago." Gao Di smiled wryly and waved his hand, expressing that he didn't care.Young Master Zhang asked again: "Master Gao, where do you disagree with my father-in-law? Why is he so angry?"

"On the strategic point of view, Mr. Xiong and I are very consistent. We both believe that we should base ourselves on the defense at the moment, use the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the field to consume the vitality of the slaves, and wait for the opportunity to recover the entire territory of Liaodong." Gaodi sighed and explained: "Later I He said that Jinzhou Youtun, which has lost its value, should be abandoned, and Ningyuan should be used as a buffer to stick to Shanhaiguan. Mr. Xiong did not object, but said that he has been away from Liaodong for a long time. Whether the buffer zone of Jinzhou Youtun should be abandoned or not must be first investigated on the spot. Make a decision later on.”

"My father-in-law is short-tempered and irritable, but he has always been pragmatic and not unrealistic in his work. This is his greatest advantage." Young Master Zhang smiled and asked again: "Then why did you break up because of your displeasure?"

"Isn't it because of that Ning Qiandao?" Gao Di said with a wry smile: "At first, Master Xiong said that Ning Qiandao was outstanding, and suggested that I reuse Ning Qiandao, and then I said that Ning Qiandao was exaggerated and greedy for power and position. People, you can’t use them too much. In the end, Master Xiong argued with me, saying that I have no eyes and no eyes, and I don’t know good talents and beautiful jade. I said that I did not come to this conclusion alone. Tanhualang, you also think about Ning Qiandao. I got angry and called you a yellow-mouthed child, self-willed, thinking that I succeeded in sneak attacking Shengjing once in a while, thinking that there is no other capable person in the world except you! Afterwards, we broke up unhappy."

"Just scold me, anyone who calls me his son-in-law, it's only right to be scolded by him." Young Master Zhang smiled wryly, and was not very angry.Over there, Song Xiance said darkly, "Boss, you can't take this matter lightly. That Ning Qiandao has won the trust of your father-in-law. Once your father-in-law comes out of Liaodong again, he will be reused! At that time, I'm worried Your old Mount Tai was sold, and you have to count the money!"

"Forget it, I'm a good person to the end." Gao Di was really kind to Young Master Zhang, and offered to propose: "Tan Hua Lang, otherwise, taking advantage of my current official position as Liaodong Supervisor, I will join hands with you to submit a recommendation First, find a reliable person to take the position of governor of Liaodong, and cut off the thoughts of Ning Qiandao. In the future, no matter whether Mr. Xiong takes over Liaodong, we can leave Liaodong with a relatively stable situation."

"It's useless. He gained the trust of Mr. Sun Ge by flattering his beard and talking loudly. In the past few years, he has made Ningyuan's business impossible to get in, and he has closely colluded with the Zu family, a prominent family in Liaodong. Whoever becomes the governor of Liaodong will not be able to do anything to his Ningyuan army." Young Master Zhang shook his head and said confidently: "Unless I become the governor of Liaodong, no one can deal with him, and no one can take the Ningyuan army out of his hands. Take it back."

"Tanhualang, why don't I recommend you to be the governor of Liaodong? With your contribution, there must be no problem in taking over as the governor of Liaodong." Gaodi asked tentatively.Young Master Zhang shook his head again, and replied: "No, at least not now, I need time to build a new army, and besides, Jiu Qiansui will not agree with me to go to Liaodong, which is far away from the capital."

"So what should we do?" Gaudy asked in embarrassment.Young Master Zhang grinned, and replied: "The best way right now is to let Ning Qiandao take over as Governor of Liaodong!"

"Just let him take over as the governor of Liaodong?" Gaodi and Song Xiance were stunned together, and Gaodi exclaimed: "Tanhualang, are you crazy? Don't you know that what he is now advocating is to rebuild Jinzhou City and build Jinzhou into Ningyuan Such a strong fortress is [-] miles away from Jinzhou Guxuanshan Pass. It is inconvenient to transport materials and materials for building the city. In addition, the officials and generals are pocketed. Even if the city is built, the supply of food, grass and military supplies will be extremely inconvenient. If Jiannu adopts the tactics of the Mongols to encircle Xiangyang in the past and encircle Jinzhou for a long time, and exhaust Jinzhou's food and grass, no matter how strong Jinzhou is, it will be destroyed by itself! "

"Of course I know this, but I also know that Nine Thousand Years is not the king of faith, and he will not be so confused as to believe the king of faith, and believe his boastful boast!" First Young Master Zhang said something that made Gaodi and Song Xiance puzzled Then, he grinned again and said, "This time, I will let the shit he pulls out on his own head!"

………………

Probably the money sent by Young Master Zhang under Xiong Tingbi's sign had an effect. Two days later, Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian finally summoned Xiong Tingbi, and Young Master Zhang also accompanied the old man into the palace. The excitement was inexplicable, and he worked hard to explain to Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian his three-way layout strategy for Ping Liao, and especially emphasized that his three-way layout strategy had actually evolved into a four-way strategy-adding Mongolian Lin Danhan.The last time Lin Dan attacked the Horqin Grassland, he almost succeeded, but Jiannu divided his troops in time to rescue, and Lin Dan was timid and afraid of the combat effectiveness of the Jiannu cavalry, so he retreated voluntarily, resulting in a failure (Note), but this also proves that Lin Dan is indeed very sincere. The Ming Dynasty cooperated to exterminate Jiannu.Therefore, Xiong Tingbi suggested that Mongolia should be properly rewarded as encouragement, strengthen their determination to resist slavery, maintain friendly relations, and then use money and food as bait to induce Lin Dan to continue to send troops to harass Horqin, making Jiannu difficult to care about.Moreover, Xiong Tingbi's attitude towards Mao Wenlong is also very reasonable. There is no need to force him. He should be fed with money and food first, but he should not be fed too much. He must be forced to continue to harass the rear of Jiannu and exchange his head for money and food. Only in this way can Mao Wenlong be brought into full play. The role of this guerrilla force behind enemy lines.

"My father-in-law really didn't talk about strategy. If it is implemented effectively, it will definitely not be a problem to exterminate Jiannu. It's a pity that he didn't have this opportunity in history." Young Master Zhang listened quietly, sighing inwardly.Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian's master and slave also listened quietly. It was not until Xiong Tingbi finished speaking that Ming Xizong exchanged glances with Wei Zhongxian, and Ming Xizong asked: "Xiong Aiqing, your strategy is very good. Zhang Aiqing also said that his plan this time The great victory in Liaodong seems to be a great victory because of proper tactics, but in fact it is clinging to your three-way layout strategy—oh, it is now a four-way layout strategy. In a word, in this battle of Liaodong, you Although you didn't participate, you still have made great achievements, and it also proves that your strategy is very correct, and it is most suitable for the Liaodong battlefield."

"My minister thanked the emperor for his great praise." Xiong Tingbi kowtowed excitedly, and it was rare for him to say a good word for Young Master Zhang, "However, what my minister advocates is to stick to it, but Master Zhang can seize the fleeting opportunity to fight back and succeed. , it can be seen that Mr. Zhang has truly grasped the essence of the strategist's deceitful way-while the humble minister only adopts the righteous way of a strategist who bullys the few by the crowd, and the flexibility is a little less than."

"Zhang Aiqing is the reincarnation of the star. She is the guardian of the heavens and the emperor bestowed upon me by heaven and the first emperor. Unfortunately, she is a little younger." Ming Xizong nodded and asked again: "Xiong Aiqing, what I want to ask most today is if The Liaodong battlefield continues to adopt your strategy to wait for achievements and consume the power of Jiannu, so when should our Ming army launch a general counterattack to fully recover Liaodong? And what tactics should we adopt to counterattack in order to completely annihilate Jiannu?" Speaking of this, Ming Xizong pointed at Young Master Zhang again, and said: "Zhang Aiqing, you also talk about your counterattack strategy, and I want to listen to your opinion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiong Tingbi did not give in, and said first: "My minister believes that the current situation of building slaves is strong, and we should not rush to fight. Instead, we should stick to the city, refine the soldiers, store up grass and gather food to accumulate strength, and at the same time harass from all directions, so that the main force of slave building Tired of running around and restless day and night, Jiannu was forced to divide his troops into four directions. When the time is right, the four sides will work together to defeat Jiannu's banners one by one, and the recovery of Liaodong is just around the corner."

"How long will it take?" Ming Xizong asked.Hearing this, Young Master Zhang's heart suddenly rose into his throat—fortunately, Xiong Tingbi didn't like to brag, but he just replied truthfully: "I don't know how long it will take to return to the emperor. The weather is unpredictable." , no one can guarantee what will happen to the situation in Liaodong and when it will change, but the veteran firmly believes that as long as the Ming court adheres to the strategy of the veterans' four directions, it is only a matter of time before the establishment of the slaves and the restoration of Liaodong will be restored."

"Thank God, if my father-in-law shouts the slogan of Ping Liao in five years, I will have to consider cutting off relations with him." Young Master Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.Ming Xizong was noncommittal, and pointed at Young Master Zhang. Young Master Zhang understood, and quickly replied: "Back to the emperor, I also think that if you want to put down the slaves, you must first train elite soldiers. Three battles in Saerhu, Hunhe and Guangning In the Great War, our Ming army lost all its elite, and the remaining army lacked training and vigor, and was useless on the battlefield. When I was in Jinzhou, I had [-] troops in my hands, but only [-] were actually capable of fighting. , and the main force of Jiannu is more than [-], which is ten times that of Weichen. As a result, Weichen can only hold on to the city, take advantage of the false attack, and cannot fight Jiannu head-on. Therefore, Weichen thinks that Lord Xiong proposed the elite soldiers to accumulate strength One is very correct and practical. At the same time, I also believe that the pacification of Jiannu and the restoration of Liaodong should not be rushed, but should be done slowly, but as long as the principles remain unchanged, it is only a matter of time before Liaodong is pacified."

"Then how can our Great Ming counterattack Jiannu after we have accumulated enough power?" Ming Xizong asked.Young Master Zhang took a peek at his father-in-law's face, and answered bravely: "This point, my minister and Mr. Xiong's ideas are slightly different - Liaodong is remote, with vast land and dense forests, and the establishment of slaves and the support of the army from the rear of Jianzhou. Our Ming army is advancing head-on, and Jiannu is defending against danger or erratically guerrilla. Our Ming army does not have three or two years to completely wipe out Jiannu. Therefore, Wei Chen believes that the best way to counterattack should be to lure the snake out of the hole and lure Jianu. The main force of the slaves came out in full force to fight a decisive battle with our Ming army, and strive to decide the world in one battle."

"One battle will determine the world? That's what Wang Huazhen said back then." Xiong Tingbi taunted his son-in-law unceremoniously.Young Master Zhang was not angry, but just argued: "Master Xiong, there are two reasons for Wang Huazhen's defeat in the first battle to determine the universe. The determination of the universe is based on the fact that the army's combat power is worse than that of the Jiannu, at least comparable to that of the Jiannu, and it is also based on luring the main force of the Jiannu to a decisive battle on the battlefield that is beneficial to our army."

"Then which battlefield do you think is most suitable for the decisive battle between the Ming army and the main force of the slave establishment?" Ming Xizong continued to ask.Young Master Zhang cleared his throat, and replied in a deep voice: "I believe that the most favorable battlefield is Shanhaiguan! If I, Daming, and Jiannu fight in Shanhaiguan, there will be a solid wall behind us, and the food road will be safe. Continuously send food, grass and military supplies to the front line! At the same time, our navy and Mao Wenlong's department can also insert Xiaoling River from the sea to block the retreat of the defeated army of Jiannu, and Lin Danhan's Mongolian army can also go south from Heishan Road, which is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty The army was fully deployed on the battlefield, and the main force of slavery was completely wiped out."

Xiong Tingbi was a little surprised, glared at Young Master Zhang and said: "Jianu is not so stupid, according to your mind, put the main force into this deadly place." Young Master Zhang smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiong, I have already said that, It is to lure the snake out of the hole, it is to lure the enemy. Since it is to lure the enemy, we must use tricks to make Jiannu step into this trap consciously or unconsciously."

"Jianu hasn't been deceived enough by you, and will continue to be fooled by you?" Xiong Tingbi asked unconvinced.Young Master Zhang smiled again, and was about to answer, but Ming Xizong waved his hand to interrupt the quarrel between the Weng and his son-in-law, who had serious differences in life philosophy, and said: "Xiong Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, you have their own reasons for counterattacking slavery. Think carefully to see which one of your strategy to fight back slavery is adopted. However, I still have a strategy to counterattack slavery in my hand, which was also proposed by a Liaodong official. He boasted in the memorial that if I adopt his strategy, then Within five years, the entire Liao Dynasty will be leveled! Tell me, does the possibility he proposed exist?"

"Ping Liao in five years? He is so sure?" Xiong Tingbi asked in surprise with wide-eyed eyes.Young Master Zhang gave a sinister smile, and asked back: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, I dare to ask you a question, do you believe it?"

"Monkey boy, are you being naughty again? The emperor is asking you, why do you ask the emperor and our family?" Wei Zhongxian first cursed kindly, and then replied: "The strategy proposed by that person, the emperor and our family are half-trusted, I think he is a bit boastful, but we also think that since the 45th year of Wanli, the imperial court has spent countless soldiers, horses, money and food in order to pacify Liaodong and establish slaves. The Liaodong battlefield is like a bottomless pit, swallowing silver and grain as high as Mount Tai. I really can’t take it anymore. That’s why the emperor and our family want to ask your opinion to see if his proposal can work—if it works, then the Ming court will be able to endure it for another five years, and it will be done once and for all. .”

"May I ask Eunuch Wei, what is his specific strategy?" Xiong Tingbi asked curiously.Wei Zhongxian obtained Mingxi Zong's consent, and handed the memorial with his name on it to Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi hurriedly read it, and immediately yelled, "Absurd! Absurd! I have seen it today. There is such an absurd strategy in the world?! With Shanhaiguan as the backing, Ningyuan as the backbone, and Jinzhou as the vanguard, several fortresses were built as joint defense strongholds. Not to mention that the Ming treasury could not support such a large expenditure, even if the treasury could support it, the main force of slavery came. , the Ming army stationed in each fortress can only fight on their own, and they are defeated by Jiannu! At that time, they have to shrink their troops to stick to the key points, abandon other unimportant fortresses, and throw in the money and food for building fortresses. In the water!"

"But he still said in the memorial that after adopting this strategy, it can effectively reduce the arable land for the slaves, so that the slaves have no food to use." Ming Xizong said unwillingly.Xiong Tingbi laughed loudly and replied: "Your Majesty, the Liaodong Plain has thousands of miles of fertile soil. Jiannu needs to farm and farm. The land in Liaodong is already enough, and he still needs to travel so far to cultivate between Ningyuan and Jinzhou? What's more, Jiannu is considered real. Come to farm, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty can destroy the fields cultivated by Jiannu just by attacking properly, and make Jiannu's hard work go to waste, is Jiannu so stupid?"

"Your Majesty, what Lord Xiong said is that the servant girl used to be a farmer, and knows that farming is difficult and easy to destroy seedlings. It is extremely easy to destroy the land cultivated by slaves. It is simply farting to reduce the land that can be cultivated by slaves!" Wei Zhongxian Stand up and support Xiong Tingbi——Daming's finances are managed by Wei Zhongxian. Thinking of how much money and grain it will cost to adopt this strategy, Wei Zhongxian feels like he wants to pee his crotch, so he naturally agrees with Xiong Tingbi's opinion from the bottom of his heart.Ming Xizong was very disappointed when he heard the words, sighed, and said: "Really? Then forget it, although I also think his ideas are too whimsical, but it would be great if Jiannu can be calmed down within five years. "

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei." Young Master Zhang, who was buried in the man's report, raised his head and said something that stunned Ming Xizong, Wei Zhongxian and Xiong Tingbi, "I think we can let him have a try, let the person who proposed this strategy Fully responsible for the construction of fortresses outside the pass."

"Try it? Monkey, who will pay for the money?" Wei Zhongxian asked with mung bean eyes.Young Master Zhang smiled and replied: "Eunuch Wei, when I was in Jinzhou, I also built city walls and fortifications. At that time, did I ask the court for a tael of silver? Why did you ever ask the court for a tael of silver and a grain of grain? Therefore, according to Weichen, it is possible for this person to be in charge of Ningyuan, Qiantun and Jinzhou outside the customs, and it is not unreasonable to even designate him as the governor of Liaodong. Entrust the full power of money and food to the soldiers and civilians of the land outside the customs, and let him organize the people, soldiers and civilians of the three places to collect local materials and raise money on the spot, while reducing the space for Jiannu farming, while building the Ningjin defense line to resist the Jiannu attack."

Note:. In November 1625, Lin Dan Khan personally led part of Neikalkha's troops to Gelezhuergen City, where Horqin Obahontaiji was located, to besiege the city and interrogate the city.Nurhachi ordered Sanbeile Mang Gurtai and Sibele Huang Taiji to lead [-] elite cavalry from Nong'anta to aid Oba. Lin Dan was timid and retreated without a fight.
