And Wei Bao's treasure army and heaven and earth will not say that they are like tigers, anyway, in Jiannu's eyes, at least they are fierce and cunning jackals.

Because Wei Bao's people don't just have powerful firearms.

What frightened Jiannu the most about Wei Bao's army was that he was very politically skillful.

The guerrilla warfare alone gave Huang Taiji and Nurha a headache, as if a large group of roundworms had been drilled into their bodies, which could not be driven away, and they were tortured and skinny.

The guerrillas of the Baojun in the Jiannu area were at least 3,000 people, and about 30 or 40 people were a unit, and the guerrillas of the Baojun appeared in at least 100 places.

And these people are mixed with Han Chinese and Mongols, and it is simply difficult to distinguish them.

To encircle and suppress, they hid in the crowd and it was difficult to distinguish.

If they took the time to tell, they went into the mountains and forests again.

Don't encircle and suppress, these people burn important targets every once in a while, killing the Jiannu rangers.

In more than a year, the number of Jiannu soldiers secretly killed by the treasure army alone exceeded 2,000.

The number of materials destroyed and stolen is even more innumerable.

The dead are fine, and the loss of materials is unbearable.

Jiannu fights against the treasure army, and the treasure army can basically reach zero consumption.

And Jiannu not only damaged financial, material and human resources, but also could not hurt Liaonan and Weijiazhuang at all, which was equivalent to bleeding all the time and fighting with a healthy person.

If it weren't for the fact that the treasure army did not have sufficient firearms and ammunition, as well as war horses that could rival Jiannu, Jiannu would have been defeated long ago.

"Got it, brother." Seeing that Huang Taiji agreed, Cong Gulen Gege wiped his tears and said obediently.

Huang Taiji loved this sister very much, and sighed: "Are you still sad and sad that Wei Bao attacked us?" Don't think about this anymore, Cong Guren, you have to remember that a cunning Han like Wei Bao is a wealth wolf, and His Majesty the wealth wolf will kill him, otherwise he will eat people. ”

Cong Gulen Gege did not respond to Huang Taiji's words.

Cong Gulen Gege felt that Wei Bao was not such a person, but he did not dare to speak for Wei Bao when the Bao army was attacking the Dajin Kingdom.

The reason why she defended Wei Bao like this was not entirely out of emotion, because Wei Bao repeatedly vaguely expressed her hope that the two families would strike in her reply to Cong Gulen Gegege!

It was Jiannu who couldn't let go of the huge shame of losing southern Liaoning, and constantly had to fight with the treasure army.

Of course, Wei Bao's reply was not written by Wei Bao, but a special person from the Statistics Department was responsible for this matter.

I will report to President Wei on a regular basis.

President Wei is very cautious when contacting the outside world, except for some handwriting left when participating in scientific expeditions, he rarely writes by himself, and he has his subordinates to write for things in the yamen.

Huang Taiji took his entourage and Cong Gulunge and Da Yu'er to the south gate to meet Nurhachi.

Everyone arrived almost at the same time, at great speed, and almost always on horseback.

It was the first time for Houjin to face such a grim situation, and it was actually beaten to Shengjing by the Han people, which was something that no one could have imagined.

Huang Taiji saw Nurhachi's banner staff coming, and hurriedly went over to stop him: "Father Khan, the city gate is dangerous, let's go to the palace to discuss matters."

"Get out of here!" Nurhachi was furious, "Shengjing City is the capital of my Dajin Kingdom, even the capital is in danger, where else is it safe?" If you're afraid of death, don't be the Secretary of State before it's too late! ”

Huang Taiji was so frightened that he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he quickly dodged aside.

There are many complex factions among the Jiannu, although Daishan was deposed from the position of prince, but he still has a certain strength, in addition to the young Dolgon, because of the favor of Nurhachi, there are also some people who support him, plus Dolgon has shown strong talent since he was a child.

Dolgon is actually the same age as Wu Sangui, only twelve or thirteen years old at this time, but he is already very shrewd and capable, and his handsome appearance is very much liked by Nurhachi.

Not only the Manchurian relatives and nobles, but also many traitors are also very important.

In order to complete the sinicization as soon as possible, Nurhachi upgraded the internal management to the level of the Ming court and reused many traitors.

The leader is not known to later generations Bao Chengxian, Bao Chengxian is not only in a high position, but his cronies are also very important, Bao Chongde, Bao Jing, Bao Tao, Feng Guozhen are all Bao Chengxian's people.

Bao Cheng was first a native of Yingxian County, Shanxi, and later joined the Han Army.

He is an important adviser to Nurhachi, but he is not as famous as Fan Wencheng, so not many people know about it.

Bao Chengxian was originally a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, a general during the Wanli period, six years of the Mandate of Heaven, in 1622, he surrendered to Jin, still a deputy general.

He was the first Han prime minister in the early Qing Dynasty in history.

Bao Chengxian is followed by Sun Degong, who was originally a general of the Ming Dynasty, as well as Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Gao Hongzhong, Luo Xiujin, Liang Zhengda, Qi Guoru, Yang Fangxing and others.

Fan Wencheng was not very important at this time, and he would not come to power until Huang Taiji came to power, because Fan Wencheng was more appreciated by Huang Taiji, and he would gradually emerge.

The main figures among the nobles are the sons of Nurhachi's younger brothers, Nurhachi's third brother Shulhaqi died in 1611, Shulhachi's second son Amin, the second son of Dajin Erbele, and Amin's lieutenant Bai Ge is also a general with great military achievements.

Shulhaqi's fourth son, Tulun, and the sixth son, Zilharang, have been in charge of the Manchurian Blue Banner Banner.

The eighth son, Fei Yangwu, and the second son of the emperor, Dai Shan, are both generals.

Although Dai Shan has been excluded, Dai Shan's eldest son Yue Tuo was very reused later, and was named the king of Luo Keqin County, one of the eight **** in the early years of the Qing Dynasty.

Ao Bai was still a general under Dai Shan during this period.

In addition, there is the third son of the emperor Abai, the fourth son of the emperor Tang Gugu, the fifth son of the emperor Mang Gurtai, the sixth son of the emperor Tabai, Tabai has no special talents, the son is very beautiful, is a celebrity in the early years of Kangxi, Bamburshan.

The seventh son of the emperor Abatai, the eighth son of the emperor Taiji, the ninth son of the emperor Babutai, the tenth son of the emperor Dege, the eleventh son of the emperor Babuhai, the twelfth son of the emperor Azig, Azig was very famous in later generations, and was regarded as a general with great achievements in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, and participated in the battle against the border of the Ming Dynasty and Korea during the period of Huang Taiji; When the Qing army entered the customs, he entered the customs with Dolgon as the vanguard of the Qing army, and in the first year of Shunzhi, he was crowned Prince Shuoying in 1644. He also entered Shaanxi along the Great Wall with General Jingyuan, and went out of Henan, Huguang, and Jiangxi from Shaanxi, repeatedly defeated Li Zicheng, killed Liu Zongmin, and captured Song Xiance. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, in 1648, he used the general of Pingxi to supervise the rebellion of Jiang Hao in Datong. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, in 1649, he asked for the title of uncle king, but was rejected by the regent Dorgon. After Dorgon's death, he attempted to become a regent, but was imprisoned and given to death by the Lord.

Azig was a well-known general in the early Qing Dynasty. But he was a man who lacked wisdom and had a rough personality.

The thirteenth son of the emperor, Lai Mubu, the fourteenth son of the emperor, Dorgon, the fifteenth son of the emperor, Duoduo, and the younger son below, because they are too young, they cannot participate in the military aircraft at this time.

Nurhachi's son-in-law, Yanggul, has also been one of the pillars of the military circles, and in important battles, Yanguli is the general of the army.

Yanggul's younger brother Lengri and younger brother Namuthai. The eldest son, Ahdan, was awarded to Tuosharahafan for his military merits. The second son, Ta Zhan, attacked the super prince and promoted the minister.

Of course, at this time, under Nurhachi, the first in line was Huang Taiji, Ning Wanme, Ma Guozhu, and others who were all Huang Taiji.

In September 1620, the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi announced the deposition of the crown prince of the Great Beyl Daishan, and "set up Amin, Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji, Dege, Yue, Zilharang, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo as Heshuo Ezhen" to discuss state affairs.

At the risk of being hit by a cannonball, Nurhachi resolutely went to the southern gate, and everyone had to follow hard.

Nurhachi looked around at the people around him, and found Cong Gulen Gege and Da Yu'er, and couldn't help but be furious again, and said loudly: "Huang Taiji! What are you doing? What are you doing with your sister and your side Fujin, are you playing a joke? ”

Huang Taiji was speechless in fright.

"Father Khan, don't blame Brother, I'm here to see." Tsunguleng went to Nurhachi's side, "No matter what the situation, the daughter must be with her father Khan. ”

Nurhachi also loved Cong Gulen Gege very much, and was quite sad by what his daughter said, sighed, didn't dwell on this problem anymore, and said to Yang Guli: "Do you understand what the situation is now?" Where is Yanguli? ”

"Yanguli is here!" Yanguli immediately agreed loudly.

Yanguli was a cavalry general of the Guards, an elite of Nurhachi's elite who was unaware of the surrounding defenses.

Huang Taiji has not yet received feedback, so he stubbornly said: "Qiqi Father Khan, after preliminary judgment, it should be Wei Bao's treasure army, it cannot be the border army of Liaodong and Jiliao, Sun Chengzong does not have such a great ability, the specific number is unknown, but according to the artillery fire, it may be a guerrilla of several people." ”

"It should, maybe, hum, I want specific information! Not these estimates! Nurhachi was furious, "What did you do after the hostility?" ”

Huang Taiji trembled with fright, he didn't do anything, except for calling everyone to discuss, what can he do, you Khan is in Shengjing City, can it be your turn to make your own decisions?

"Yanguli, how many men can be gathered right now?" Nurhachi angrily looked at several hot air balloons in the sky.

"Thirty thousand! I can muster 30,000 horsemen at once! If it weren't for the fact that 50,000 iron horsemen were transferred to the vicinity of North Korea, the last general would be able to quickly assemble 80,000 iron horsemen! Yanguli replied loudly.

"Okay, I order you, take your 30,000 iron horsemen to fight, no matter how many people and horses the treasure army has, no matter what kind of cannon they use, you will help me cut off the head of Wei Bao's generals, if anyone has the ability to cut off Wei Bao's head, reward 10,000 taels of gold, and give it to the two banner owners!" Nurhachi said loudly.

When everyone heard this, their hearts shook at the same time, this is a very rich reward, killing Sun Chengzong is only a reward of a thousand taels of gold, and the fief is only a hundred acres of fertile land, and the reward of the banner owners of the two banners accounts for a quarter of the entire Dajin Kingdom.

Yang Guli excitedly agreed, because he was too happy, he ran wildly all the way, and kept calling like a beast in his mouth.

Even the men with Yanguli let out this beastly call.

Everyone was excited, and they all felt that Yang Guli's army would win, although everyone knew the power of the firearms of the treasure army.

But the confidence of the Jiannu Iron Cavalry is still very strong, and the Ming Dynasty army has not yet been taken into account.

This self-confidence is built on the basis of long-term victories, not two houses in a day.

In the original history, the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was a powerful force in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, there is no such establishment as "Guanning Iron Cavalry" in history, and it is believed by many theories that the "Guanning Iron Cavalry" is actually Wu Sangui's "Yiding Tucai".

"Ming Ji Beiluo": Wu Sangui's subordinates have 40,000 elite soldiers and 780,000 Liao people, all of whom are resistant to fighting. And Yiding rode thousands of horses, which was particularly majestic. The enemy is gone.

"Ming Ji Beiluo" exaggerates and does not discuss Wu Sangui's military strength, and the "Yiding Tucai" is obviously an ethnic minority, most likely Mongol.

So did the elite iron cavalry in the late Ming Dynasty really rely on foreign races to form?

The "Guanning Iron Cavalry" is regarded as a general reference to the elite cavalry units in the Guanning army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of which were still Han Chinese.

"Yiding Tu Cavalry" is only a part of the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

According to the statement of "Seeing the New Strategy", "The slave step is good at Tengshan and the short battle, and the horse soldiers are weak." Yeh horsemen were the toughest, and the infantry was weak. Therefore, the slaves are afraid of the northern cavalry, and the northern is afraid of the slave steps", the Jianzhou Jurchens are good at infantry, and the cavalry strength is even inferior to Ye He.

In the later battles with the Ming, Jianzhou mainly used the method of cavalry infantry. In the late Ming Dynasty, although the number of cavalry was not large, the quality was considerable.

In the Ming Dynasty, the coverage area of horse armor decreased, and more attention was paid to the mobility of cavalry.

Due to the need for nine sides against the Mongols, the proportion of cavalry increased significantly. Compared with the full-coverage horse armor often used in the Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty, the heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was basically semi-equipped, and at the same time had the ability to ride and shoot, and many of them were also equipped with firearms.

The Ming Dynasty also had horse armor with a larger proportion of coverage, but it was rare.

Some believe that this was influenced by the Yuan Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol cavalry also mostly used full-coverage horse armor, but the Ming cavalry paid more attention to fighting than the Mongols, and was good at charging with spears.

Fully equipped cavalry is good for storming infantry phalanxes. However, after entering the Ming Dynasty, firearms also had the effect of breaking the formation, and the enemies of the Ming Dynasty used less infantry phalanxes.

And judging from the situation of the Imjin War, the use of heavy cavalry half-covered with horse armor to attack a low-quality infantry phalanx like the Japanese army is still quite penetrating and destructive.

Due to the superiority of the Mongols in the number of horses, they were able to quickly gather superior forces to attack the border, forcing the Ming cavalry to have the ability to outnumber. During the training of the cavalry of the Ming army, the training of the assault of the gun was emphasized.

"Martial Arts Atlas Tongzhi" contains: "The handle is fifteen feet long, and its method is the first to come out. Hold the bridle in your right hand. Left armpit with a gun. Make a crescent moon in the sky. Hold the right hand in front. Left hand back. High excess. Switch the left and right hands. Make a left front stab. Switch the left and right hands. Make a right front stab. Switch the left and right hands. Make a left back stab. Switch the left and right hands. Make a right front stab. Switch the left and right hands. Make a left front stab. Switch the left and right hands. Make a right back stab. Switch the left and right hands. Make a left front stab. Switch the left and right hands. Make a right front stab. Still playing with guns. Swing inward right once. Left inward swing once. If so, there is no definite number. ”

Obviously, the cavalry of the Ming army charged in groups with guns, and their momentum was like a dense forest of spear mountains, which could terrify the Mongols, who were inclined to mobile combat and were not good at fighting tough battles. In February of the thirteenth year of Jiajing (1534), the general soldier Wang Xiao repelled more than 10,000 Mongols with 800 fine cavalry, similar achievements in the history of the Ming Dynasty are numerous, and the general Ma Fang even led the elite cavalry deep into the Mongolian plateau many times, defeating the superior strength of the Mongolian people and even Altan Khan himself.

It can be seen from this that the decisive assault tactics of the Ming cavalry were very effective. The Liaodong Army and the Guanning Army had a large number of elite cavalry, as well as regular cavalry units that enjoyed the financial tilt of the imperial court, and their cavalry combat effectiveness should be considerable. Although there are some Mongols, the vast majority are Han Chinese. So, how did the cavalry of the Ming army perform in the Jianzhou operation.

According to "The History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of He Shixian": Shixian was stationed in Sanyang, heard the changes, galloped out of the plug, got the first merit of one hundred and fifty, and had four levels, and entered the deputy general army...... Tieling was besieged, Shixian rushed to help, the city was broken, and he was invited to win more than 100 levels. In September of the first year of Taichang, he fought against Gray Mountain and Fu'an Fort, and won the first 200 merits.

He Shixian launched several surprise attacks with small cavalry units to defeat the Houjin, and is known in history as "a number of gladiatorial battles", apparently through melee combat, and some of these battles were probably fought against Nurhachi himself. He Shixian's beheadings were close to 500, and the beheadings were often less than the actual enemy annihilation, and the annihilation of the Jurchens should be more than 1,000 people. Although the Jianzhou infantry is good at fighting, He Shixian's tactics are mainly based on surprise attacks, and the Jianzhou infantry may not be able to fight in columns.

For example, in the Battle of Tieling, it should be that the Jianzhou Army had just broken through Tieling, and suddenly attacked from behind, killing the enemy with a strong impact. Since the heavy cavalry of the Ming army used semi-covered horse armor, the load was lighter, which was conducive to quick detachment after the battle.

During the Battle of Guangqumen, Yuan Chonghuan led 9,000 elite cavalry of the Guanning Army to gallop to the Beijing Division, and repelled at least 10,000 Houjin soldiers by dismounting the horseback, which proved that the infantry combat ability of the elite cavalry of the Guanning Army was also remarkable.

It can be seen that although there is no full coverage of horse armor, the "Guanning Iron Cavalry" should be a force similar to the heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, which can not only ride and shoot, but also stronger than fighting.

After the Battle of Songjin, Wu Sangui was still able to hold Ningyuan for two years with fewer troops and resources, and thwarted Manchurian attacks many times, which also showed that the "Yiding Turf Cavalry" as the afterglow of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the combat effectiveness was considerable.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was extremely corrupt, the government administration was inefficient, and there were internal and external troubles.

However, the militarized operation of Jianzhou is comprehensively balanced in the allocation of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. Coupled with the mistakes of the central command, the Ming Dynasty was still often defeated against the Later Jin.

Even so, when Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, Houjin failed to even take Ningyuan, and it was Wu Sangui who took the initiative to abandon Ningyuan and settle in Shanhaiguan.

From this point of view, although the "Guanning Iron Cavalry" does not exist in terms of establishment, the Guanning Cavalry is indeed a strong soldier in the late Ming Dynasty.

Of course, these things are things that have not happened yet, and now Jiannu and Nurhachi are not afraid of the Ming army or the treasure army.
