Chapter 75

If the family members are in Liao, it seems that there is no burden to surrender.Anyway, the family property is there, it's just a change of hairstyle and a change of loyal master.

As for the guest soldiers, isn't it because their family members are far away and surrendering will implicate their family members that they dare to fight and can fight, or do they have to fight desperately?
Xiong Tingbi was extremely pleased to see the secret letter Shang Wansui raised questions in a consulting tone and wrote his own analysis and judgment.

In the 47th year of Wanli, the famous Battle of Saerhu took place, and the 47 army commanded by Yang Gao, the economic strategist of Liaodong, was defeated miserably.

After discussion, the imperial court promoted Xiong Tingbi to be the right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of Youqian capital, replacing Yang Gao as the Liaodong strategy, which greatly boosted the Liaodong war situation of the Ming Dynasty, "so that people's hearts will be restored."

Zhao Zhiliuyi, to appease Shenyang, entered Fushun on a snowy night, Xiong Tingbi used the tactics of resisting the enemy and defending the city to make Jiannu nowhere to be found.

In the court at that time, there were also criticisms against Xiong Tingbi.But Emperor Wanli trusted Xiong Tingbi, gave him Shangfang sword, sheltered him from wind and rain, and raised money and food for him.

But all this changed after the death of Emperor Wanli.In the first year of Taichang, Ming Guangzong came to the throne, and Yao Zongwen and Liu Guojin, the head of the Ministry of War, began to slander and slander Xiong Tingbi because of personal grievances.

Later, Yao and Liu instigated a group of people to attack, and Xiong Tingbi must be resigned.Therefore, the censor Gu Zhen, Feng Sanyuan, and Zhang Xiude criticized Wei Yingjia during the incident, taking advantage of Puhe's fall.

Helpless and sad, Xiong Tingbi handed back Shangfang's sword, and asked to resign, and Emperor Tianqi agreed.

Then, in less than a year of the first year of Tianqi, Shenyang, the important town of Liaodong, and Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong, fell one after another. Yuan Yingtai committed suicide in fear of crime, and all the east of Liaohe River fell into the possession of Houjin.At this time, the ministers in the court thought of Xiong Tingbi again.

Xiong Tingbi was used again, but the Donglin Party pushed Wang Huazhen as governor again.Discord and disagreement have led to the current situation.

During the period of being squeezed out, criticized, and decentralized, Xiong Tingbi missed Emperor Wanli very much, and missed the time when he was unreservedly supported and trusted by the emperor.

According to historical records, Emperor Wanli once impeached Xiong Tingbi with a very meaningful decree.

"The failure of the Liao incident was caused by local officials playing tricks. Xiong Tingbi insisted on revitalizing and restoring the frontier, and I deeply rely on it. The barbarian situation is very urgent now. When I let go of my shoulders, I will abandon my previous achievements! I am loyal and loyal. Work together with all ministers, and don't be hindered by people's words."

Looking at this passage, it can be said to be sincere and trustworthy.

"Don't be hindered by people's words" is even more heart-to-heart, showing Wanli's determination, let others say it, I believe in you, and follow your way of thinking, I am optimistic about you.

From this point of view, Wanli is still wise, has some talents for knowing people, and has no doubts about employing people. With Xiong Tingbi, he stabilized the battle in Liaodong and gradually started to fight back.

It is a pity that one emperor and one courtier are one of the characteristics of all Chinese dynasties.With Wanli's death, Xiong Tingbi's good days are coming to an end.

Since the first year of Taichang, the speeches attacking Xiong Tingbi have increased suddenly.Many of the content of the criticisms are repeating old tunes, but the key point is that the emperor has changed.

As a result, ups and downs, abolition and re-establishment, the situation in Liaodong was bad, and Xiong Tingbi had to take over this mess again.

After many years of fighting with Jiannu, Xiong Tingbi is well aware of the strength and weakness of Jiannu.

But this time is no longer the Wanli period. With the fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang, the strategy of "repairing borders and building fortresses, and defending for war" that he once advocated for the preservation of Liao is no longer appropriate.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi proposed a three-party deployment strategy: use Guangning to contain most of the enemy's forces; Tianjin, Deng, and Lai ports set up naval fleets to attack the enemy's rear by crossing the sea, making Jiannu lose sight of the other and fall into a passive position.

Although the imperial court approved Xiong Tingbi's strategy, the three-party arrangement was time-consuming and laborious, and could not be accomplished in the short term, which aroused criticism and opposition from officials in the DPRK and China.

Wang Huazhen is an example, never mentioning defense, boasting all over the sky, but won the appreciation and support of the big bosses in the court, and Xiong Tingbi was ignored.

Frustrated, discouraged, coupled with a natural bad temper, the rift between Xiong Tingbi, Wang Huazhen, and Zhang Heming deepened, and it was also a helpless move to lead the troops out of customs this time.

When Zai Tunwei received the secret decree from the emperor, he threatened and encouraged him to give Shang Fang a sword and send Jin Yiwei to accompany him to seize the power of Wang Huazhen, and let Xiong Tingbi control Guangning with full power.

Even though the Ming army suffered a disastrous defeat at Shaling, Xiong Tingbi also wanted to cheer up, no longer doing strategy with bare hands, but unified affairs and powers.

Xiong Tingbi, who is familiar with the operation process of the imperial court, also understands the secret decree of the emperor, and admires the decisiveness of the emperor.

After entering Guangning, the rebel general Sun Degong was captured and the governor Wang Huazhen was imprisoned, and a series of rewards, punishments and incentives were issued. Even Xiong Tingbi was shocked by the emperor's careful planning, which refreshed Xiong Tingbi's cognition again.

Although the emperor was young, he was wise and decisive, and he acted vigorously, and he had an accurate understanding of the situation of the war and the strength of Jiannu.

The imprisoning of Wang Huazhen and the handing over of all commanding powers to Xiong Tingbi also clearly showed the emperor's tendency in the "discord between Jingfu".

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi, who was trapped in Guangning City, not only did not despair, but felt excited and uplifted because the dust fell to the ground and was reused.

Just as the imperial decree said: At this time, if you stick to Guangning, even if you sacrifice your life to seal the border, isn't it a man of Jie Lieqi?

What's more, the young emperor gave him as much support and help as possible, and he was very sure of keeping Guangning, so he didn't want him to die.

Now, reading the Holy Majesty's secret letter again under the lamp, Xiong Tingbi seems to have returned to the time when Emperor Wanli spoke to him with sincerity, trust and protection.

The Holy Majesty ordered himself to stick to Guangning, but he asked him with a secret letter, that is, he believed that he could complete the task and survive to present his opinion to the Holy Majesty.

The contact code further illustrates this point. It is clearly stated above that in the future, if there are confidential memorials from Liaodong and Liaoxi, they will be written in code and handed over to Jinyiwei directly to Shengting.

What do you mean, once the Guangning war is over, Xiong Tingbi is the real strategist, with real power in his hands, and he can play a secret report.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no secret music system at all.Xiong Tingbi was surprised at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he was shocked and deeply impressed by the young emperor's methods.

You must know that once the secret music system is formed, it will greatly weaken the authority of the government affairs center and strengthen the imperial power.

This is just one of them. In Xiong Tingbi's view, the secret memorial goes directly to the emperor, reduces the turnover links, can be processed quickly, and is very efficient.

Another point, Xiong Tingbi also thought of it, but he dared not comment.

That is, the system of secret performances will make officials monitor each other, dare not act without authorization, and act recklessly, which is conducive to controlling officials and purge officials.

The reason is very simple, Xiong Tingbi has the right to play in secret, but he doesn't know if others have.Maybe the officials around him also have this right, so what he did, can he hide it from the emperor?
After thinking for a long time, Xiong Tingbi took up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Secretly, my minister Xiong Tingbi would like to play..."

Official titles are not written, and all formulas and formulas are completely used. All major events and small sentiments can be reported, and they must be kept completely secret and not leaked.
