Nurhaci was leading his army to attack the Wanyan tribe that was stubbornly resisted (also called Wang Jia tribe in the Ming Dynasty).

Zhu Yiliu began military exercises in Liaodong.

The location of the military exercise was chosen from the Liaodong side wall in the Fushun Pass area to the south.

Specifically, it is between the three forts of Dongzhou Fort, Magendan Fort and Sanyangyu Fort.

The forms of military exercises are roughly divided into several types: infantry, cavalry, chariot, musketeer, and artillery.

The specific content was discussed and decided by Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, and Zhu Yiliu did not interfere.

Qi Jiguang is the most experienced in military training and military exercises.

At that time, in addition to the soldiers under Qi Jiguang's troops, Liaodong soldiers participating in the military exercise gathered from three directions: Liaoyang, Tieling and Fengcheng.

Liaoyang is southwest of Fushun, Tieling is north of Fushun, and Fengcheng is south of Fushun, which is equivalent to encircling the Liaodong soldiers from three directions to Fushun.

According to Li Chengliang's deployment, not counting the Qi family army brought by Qi Jiguang from Jizhen, the number of troops participating in the military exercises in Liaodong is about 40,000.pace]

Among them, 10,000 infantry soldiers were personally led by Li Chengliang to advance from Liaoyang; 20,000 cavalry soldiers were led by Li Rusong and Li Pinghu to advance from Fengcheng and Tieling; the other 10,000 were chariots, artillery, etc.

Why did Fushun choose the location of the military exercise? This was decided by Zhu Yiliu.

The geographical location of Fushun Pass is extremely important.

To the east is the intersection of Sarsh, Gulezhai, the Hun River and Suzi River, not far from Nurhaci's Foala City.

The key decisive battle of the Ming and Qing dynasties in history was fought here.

Zhu Yiliu has obvious purpose and strong targeting. He is willing to invite major tribes of Mongolia and Jurchen to come and observe, especially the various tribes of Jurchen.

News of military exercises had already spread. Nurhaci and other tribal leaders had received invitations from Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Nurhaci and the others wanted to see it, and the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was always envied by them.

So three days before the military exercise, Nurhaci and Wanyan tribe reached an agreement to temporarily truce.

Nurhaci, Shurhaqi, and Eyi all went to Fushun to visit and study, and they could just compare the troops on their side. Who is stronger and who is weak? Where is the stronger? And where is the weak?

Nurhaci is good at learning and has a lot of research on military affairs. He will never miss such a grand event.

The same is true for Shurhazi, Eyidu and others.

At this time, they were not worried that Wanyan's troops would take the opportunity to attack, because Wanyan's troops were also invited and would definitely go there to observe happily.

On the way to Fushun to observe the exercise, Shulhazi asked in confusion:

"Brother, your master's intention is obvious, just to shock our tribes. Why do you need military exercises instead of sending troops to help us take down the Wanyan tribe?"

Nurhaci shook his head: "My third brother may not have understood the original intention of the master's command in person this time."

"Brother tell us."

"The ultimate goal of Master is to include all of us in the rule of the Ming Dynasty. He has regarded all of us as our own people, so he does not want to send troops to fight and is more willing to resolve the situation peacefully. Sending troops to fight is a forced and it is also the last choice of Master."

"Since you all treat them as your own people, why do your master have the heart to watch us fight with other tribes?" Shulhazi still expressed confusion.

"But they are not convinced, just like Wanyan tribe, they swear not to surrender, what should they do if they don't fight? I hope to be peacefully reunified, but not giving up on force is the master's purpose."

In fact, Nurhaci also thought of a reason in his mind, but he didn't say it in front of everyone, thinking that the tribes and tribes can weaken their strength? The master definitely doesn't want him to be infinity and threaten Liaodong.

This is what Nurhaci said in his heart, but he clearly felt that what his master thought, and he had to conquer tribes, otherwise how could he accomplish the great cause of unification?

And he believed that only by experiencing countless battles and training can one train a combat-capable army. Isn’t Li Chengliang doing this?

Just like a martial arts master, you need to practice behind closed doors, but you also need to constantly compete with others in order to better improve yourself.

Therefore, Nurhaci was not afraid of war. Even though he clearly felt that his master was willing to not let him become a big shot, he believed that war was an indispensable part of the process of unifying the Jurchens.

It is certainly beautiful to be able to be peacefully reunited, but the reality will never be so smooth.

Nurhaci was already mentally prepared.

"Brother, I actually have an idea recently." Shulhazi suddenly said.

"explain."

"Since the recent war, the soldiers have suffered a lot, and we really have no money. Can you borrow some from your master to improve our weapons and life? Looking at this military exercise, your master raised 500,000 taels of silver in just one month, and he is still very rich!"

Nurhaci felt a little nervous, but he pondered without saying a word.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Shurhazi asked, but there were actually a few words in his heart that he hadn't said it. He thought that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty himself didn't want to fight, but he watched them fight. Although he cheered through military exercises, he spent a lot of money on money. Why not sponsor them?

Moreover, in the future, it is very likely that he will fight for the Emperor of Ming, which means that his elder brother is talking about as a wedding dress for others. At this time, he doesn’t seem embarrassed to seek funding from the Emperor of Ming, right?

"This can be there." Nurhaci nodded.

"That's right, my brother borrowed some from your master and paid it back slowly in the future." Shulhazi said whimsically, "The Ming Dynasty is like a super rich man, and compared to them, we are just a beggar who is so poor that he only has brute force and needs too much money."

Nurha Qud: "But I heard that borrowing money from my master requires repayment of interest, which is like usury."

Shurhazi said: "I think that as long as the eldest brother and master are willing to borrow, we will borrow boldly. We are not afraid of interest, so we can pay it back slowly. Without money, our living standards cannot be guaranteed, the city wall cannot be expanded, and weapons and horses cannot be effectively improved."

Nurhaci nodded thoughtfully.

Shurhazi continued: "Your master has been deliberately holding a military exercise this time. It must be quite large. The purpose is to shock us. I am worried that we will feel even more ashamed after observing it."

"I won't talk about borrowing money for now, but my third brother's proposal is indeed worth our deep consideration." Nurhaci murmured, "Our city walls, weapons, war horses, etc. need to be improved so that our combat effectiveness can be stronger."

"But all this requires money to support it!"

"I can consider borrowing it from my master, but the key is to rely on ourselves. Relying on others can only save the urgent needs for a while, not the poor!"

"Brother is right. Actually, I have another idea. Everyone says that your master is a master of making money. We may not be good at this, but my brother can send a delegation to ask your master for advice and learning. Being rich is easy to do."

"Third brother has a good idea!" Nurhaci said with a smile, "Why didn't I think of it before? Taking advantage of this observation opportunity, I must communicate with my master and learn how to make money."

"I think my elder brother doesn't need to learn it myself, just send someone to learn it. My elder brother's strengths are military, so why should he compete with others' weaknesses based on his own strengths?"

"I found that my third brother is getting more and more intelligent."

"Follow your brother, you have to make progress, right?" Shulhazi grinned.

"We can send people to learn from our master, but our master can also come to us directly to guide us like Zhang Maoxiu." Nurhaci seemed to have suddenly figured out a truth.
