Yuan Chonghuan participated in the construction of the Guanning Jin Defense Line, especially the construction of Jinzhou. He doesn't have much talent, he just relies on his persistence. The battle of Ningyuan was won by his tenacity + luck, and it has nothing to do with tactics. He did not invent Ten Thousand Enemies, nor did he buy the red cannon. He killed Mao Wenlong. In terms of running the army, it means being ruthless, maintaining strict military discipline, and dealing with those who dare to show off.

His famous saying is "You may say that Honbuin is a scholar, but Honbuin is the general of the imperial court!"
