When the Liaodong Peninsula was in full swing, Wu Sangui also launched a tug-of-war with the Qing army on the eastern front. Especially for the Five Forts of Kuandian, the Sino-Korean coalition forces launched several offensives, which made the Qing army feel energetic and dared not relax.

The Five Forts of Kuandian had already been captured, but then he gave up voluntarily under the counterattack of the Qing army. Wu Sangui captured the Five Forts of Kuandian but was ordered to give up, and he was very depressed. However, later, a staff officer named Qiu Yunmu woke up Wu Sangui. What a brilliant figure Wu Sangui was. I immediately understood that the emperor relied on now is the new army. Perhaps the emperor was still worried that his achievements were shocking the master, and he intended not to make great achievements in Liaodong, but just to make himself a supporting role.[]

It was this Qiu Yunmu who gave Wu Sangui the advice that if he did this, he would definitely be more prosperous.

Since then, Wu Sangui has become unprecedentedly busy as if he has become a different person.

Before this, Wu Sangui had always adopted a disliked attitude towards the interview with the Chosun Ilbo, and often sent it out in just a few words, and was even more secretive about military plans. But suddenly, Wu Sangui became particularly talkative when facing the interview with the Chosun Ilbo.

Wu Sangui neither minded talking about his beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan nor shy away from talking about military affairs. He even repeatedly played the big mouth of prediction, predicting the development of the war, and when Liaodong could be recovered, etc. Therefore, the Korean Ilbo published various articles interviewing Wu Sangui, especially Wu Sangui's prediction of the battle situation. However, Wu Sangui's prediction of the battle situation was too exaggerated every time, but every time Wu Sangui didn't care about his inaccurate predictions, and still enjoyed predicting the ongoing battle situation. At first, the people of North Korea took Wu Sangui's prediction seriously, but later they simply took Wu Sangui's prediction as a joke.

In addition to making a big splash in North Korean newspapers, Wu Sangui also often took a boat to Seoul to socialize with the Korean monarch and ministers.

Of course, Wu Sangui did not do anything. If you want to talk about the practical things that Wu Sangui did, it would probably be to carry out military camps and fishing and hunting. After capturing Hunchun, Wu Sangui ordered local military camps to plant sweet potatoes and corn. Wu Sangui was familiar with Liaodong and knew that if the military camps were not promoted, the logistics supply of the Ming army would be too expensive and even if occupied, it would not be maintained for a long time.

However, the Korean officialdom and the people did not care about the military camp. People only care about the war. However, Wu Sangui was confident in the war and made a lot of talks. Every prophecy was unsuccessful without exception. For example, Wu Sangui claimed to have broken through Phoenix Castle in a month, but was defeated back to North Korea. Later, he claimed to have won the Kuandian Five Fort in a month. As a result, several months passed, but he only fought back and forth in the Kuandian Five Fort, and occasionally captured one or two of the Kuandian Five Forts in a month.

Leath was immediately taken back by the Qing army. Every time it was a heroic prophecy, and every time it was a prophecy that it would go bankrupt. The Korean people had fantasies about Wu Sangui, but they no longer believed Wu Sangui's big talk. After a while, Wu Sangui had many nicknames in North Korea - "General Big Mouth" and "King of Bragging", and it was almost said that he was a "stupid general". This kind of rumor naturally spread to Nanjing, and Wu Sangui's reputation was greatly hit.

The legend of Wu Sangui in Nanjing was not the only one. It was said that Wu Sangui accepted beautiful women from North Korea, singing and singing every day, and was not prepared for military affairs. However, Wu Sangui's achievements in attacking Hunchun were just a brief introduction. Some attackers said that the court spent huge military pay and was given advanced military weapons. The troops and horses led by Wu Sangui were also much better than the Qing army. However, Wu Sangui was incompetent in command and ignored the key points of the Qing army, but took useless land without regard to the taboo of dividing troops. He was purely incompetent in leading the army and should be dismissed.

When Wu Sanguier heard these rumors, he couldn't argue and had to laugh it off.

In fact, this is not the only thing that makes people criticize Wu Sangui. It is a slander to say that Wu Sangui ignores military training. However, Wu Sangui promotes various competitive activities in the army, such as football, archery and wrestling, which have become popular things in the army.

Wu Sangui has three military forces under his command, one of which is the Guanning cavalry that was originally led by Wu Sangui himself, part of which is the Ming New Army, and the other part is the Korean Army, and the North Korean Army is divided into cavalry and the Korean New Army. Such a complex team is mixed together, and everything is strange if everything is harmonious! What makes Wu Sangui feel very gratified is that since he started playing four football teams, the relationship between them has become much more harmonious. Even if he fights on the court, there is no big obstacle after the fight. He has the energy to go out on the court and forget it after it is forgotten. Of course, the key games have to focus on maintaining order. At this time, Wu Sangui often put down his prince's airs and serves as the main whistle in the key games.

If Wu Sangui is only keen on blowing the whistle as the referee in the football game, Wu Sangui will play in person for the wrestle wrestle game. Wu Sangui claims that he has been personally advised by the emperor and has outstanding wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle. However, Wu Sangui's wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle. Yan Zhongyu claims to be the emperor's disciple, and his wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle wrestle.

The sect said that it was inherited from the emperor's advice, and it was still well-founded. On that day, Yan Zhongyu was defeated by the emperor's wrestling his arm at Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. After that, he learned some tricks and claimed to have obtained the emperor's true teachings. The "Sage True Art" of wrestling his arm has two versions since then. It seems to be similar in mystery, but each has its own advantages. It is thought that it is not because the emperor personally taught the secret. The two factions have their own foundations. The Wu faction emphasizes strength and the Yan faction emphasizes skills. The two factions have their own victory or defeat. It is hard to say which faction has the upper hand.

It's nothing to go on the stage to wrestle the arm in person. Even the emperor has done such a thing in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. Wu Sangui's wrestle the arm was published as a behind-the-scenes featured in the Chosun Ilbo, which is also an interesting and elegant thing.

But what Wu Sangui did next was even more ridiculous. This matter started with the equipment of Wu Sangui with four "Chang'an" armored vehicles. Since "Chang'an" arrived in Yizhou, Wu Sangui has fallen in love with "Chang'an". That's not all, Wu Sangui also likes to shake the bars himself, and since then he even started a shake bar racing competition.

Wu Sangui had a special liking for "Chang'an", but he thought that "Chang'an" was not fast enough. Compared with cavalry, the maximum speed of "Chang'an" was less than half of the war horses. So Wu Sangui began to try to challenge the maximum speed of "Chang'an".

"Chang'an" is a human-driven two-bar crankshaft connecting rod system. Two lever soldiers are responsible for shaking the bar. The lever drives the slider to reciprocate up and down. The reciprocating movement of the slider drives the crankshaft to rotate through the connecting rod. The torque output from the crankshaft is then transported to the wheels through the gear transmission, thereby driving "Chang'an" forward. Whether the "Chang'an" drives fast or not, it is of course important to carry the troops, but the cooperation between the driver and the shaking soldiers is also important. Wu Sangui has some warriors with outstanding strength, but then Wu Sangui discovered that it is not just about strength that can drive "Chang'an" faster. It must be said that Wu Sangui is a good brain-based person.

By driving and shaking himself, he found that shaking not only requires strength, but also requires high movement speed and good coordination of movement, and also has amazing endurance. In principle, there are countless people under Wu Sangui who have these four comprehensive qualities. It should be noted that killing enemies on the battlefield also tests the strength, speed, coordination and endurance of the warriors. However, killing enemies and shaking enemies are different after all, and warriors with outstanding combat power may not be able to exert their greatest potential in "Chang'an". Therefore, Wu Sangui unintentionally organized a ten-kilometer time trial, auditioning shaking soldiers in cavalry and infantry.

The rules of this ten-kilometer time trial are very simple. Four "Chang'an" are driven by four drivers from Nanjing. Each "Chang'an" sends two swaying soldiers to be responsible for swaying, demarcating a ten-kilometer racing field, and issuing a "Chang'an" every other minute. The referee of the starting order starts, and then four timer referees are following on horseback, responsible for timekeeping with pocket watches.

Then, Wu Sangui discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, the No. 3 "Chang'an" is always faster than other armored vehicles. Following the clues, Wu Sangui discovered the mystery. It turned out that the trick was Chen Youfan, the driver of the No. 3 tank. Chen Youfan invented a method of taking turns to shake the bar. Not only did he drive, he also rotated the shake bars with two full-time shake bars. When he traveled about three kilometers, Chen Youfan would replace the shake bars, and the shake bars would be controlled by the shake bars. Anyway, the shake bars would not have to change gears and brake. When he reached five kilometers, he would exchange the shake bars and Chen Youfan continued to drive. As he reached the seventh kilometers, Chen Youfan replaced another shake bars, and the other shake bars were responsible for grasping it.

Direction, until the ninth kilometer, Chen Youfan changed back to the driver's position until the sprint. In this way, Chen Youfan swung four kilometers, and both shaking soldiers could get a two-kilometer mileage rest in the middle to restore their physical strength. When the final sprint, they naturally had enough impact, and the speed could be imagined to be much faster. What's more amazing is that Chen Youfan himself was slightly inferior in strength and had a fast enough movement speed. During the period of shaking, he simply hung the gear to the mid-speed gear to increase the speed to make up for the lack of strength. The result of this is that the shaking hands that cooperated with him felt that while the shaking hands were labor-saving, they also needed to speed up the rhythm. This has both advantages and disadvantages for shaking hands. However, changing the rhythm and strength makes shaking soldiers less likely to be tired, and the shaking effects are better.

Wu Sangui was almost obsessed with increasing the speed of "Chang'an". After learning about Chen Youfan's racing mode, Wu Sangui expanded the auditions to the driver. Two shaking hands and one shaking soldiers were auditions, and Chen Youfan was promoted to coach, which made the record of this "Chang'an" ten-kilometer time trial continue to be broken. Wu Sangui and two shaking soldiers cooperated to drive "Chang'an" and achieved a good result of 16 minutes and 31 seconds. This result is the third best result since the beginning of the entire time trial.

When Qiu Yunmu found Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui happened to complete the new ten-kilometer schedule. He was originally preparing to surpass the old score of 16 minutes and 31 seconds. The timing result disappointed Wu Sangui. This time, he was a little slower, and the result was 16 minutes and 36 seconds. Qiu Yunmu looked at Wu Sangui who was sweating and looked unhappy, thinking that he was too involved!

On the other side, the armored vehicle of the No. 4 "Chang'an" hit a tree. The three people who got off the No. 4 either kowtowed or injured their arms. When Wu Sangui saw the people's embarrassing appearance, his mood, which was a little frustrated, suddenly improved greatly. He laughed and turned to Qiu Yunmu.

Qiu Yunmu quickly saluted:

"Reported to the King of Liao, the emperor sent someone to send an order to go to the sea to see you quickly, and there will be major military operations."

When Wu Sangui heard this, he felt relieved for several months. He thought that the legendary attack plan on the Eastern Front was really going to start. He finally had the opportunity to fight a battle quickly. After this battle, he could justify the reputation of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. Even if he was removed from his armor and returned to the field, it would be worth it.
