1859 CE

The Nien leaders consolidate their bases north of the Huai River from 1856 to 1859 by winning over the masters of the earth-wall communities, consolidated villages that have been fortified for self-defense against the Taiping.

The Nien strategy is to use their powerful cavalry to plunder the outlying areas and carry the loot to their home bases.
