"But the emperor ......," Zhang Minghe seemed to have something to say.

Zhu Youxiao raised his head, there seemed to be a sharp blade in his eyes, and said solemnly: "You all go back, the elder of the pavilion will leave the feast to speak." ”

Zhang Minghe lowered the leader's decree, secretly swallowed a mouthful of Jin, and secretly decided that from today onwards, whenever the Liao War Report came, he would have to check it carefully.

This Xiong Tingbi is so trusted by the emperor, does he have real ability?

Everyone had nothing to say, and retreated one after another, and about half an hour later, the head of the cabinet, Ye finished speaking to Gao Ri and returned home.

Not long after, Zhu Youxiao issued an order:

"Gu Bingqian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he is an assistant to the cabinet and participates in the secret."

Gu Bingqian's entry into the cabinet marked that the so-called "eunuch party" propagated by the Donglin party members officially began to participate in the government and oppose it.

......

The capital of Liaodong, Liaoyang City.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the northern border defense has always been the top priority.

From the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, there are nine important border towns on the defense line that is 10,000 miles long, and Liaoyang is one of them, where the capital of Liaodong Town is located.

"Liaodong Chronicles" contains: Liaoyang City from Hongwu five to sixteen years, lasted more than ten years, on the basis of the old city site, several times after building and expanding into a brick and stone structure, the circumference of more than 24 miles of square city.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi was carrying the sword of Shang Fang at his waist, dressed in armor, standing on the city wall and looking north.

Behind him, 5,000 soldiers transferred from Shenyang City were slowly entering the city, plus the original defenders in Liaoyang City, the total number reached 43,000.

The remaining tens of thousands of elites were stationed in Guangning, Shenyang and various Weizhen forts, strictly defending, and the walls were clear.

Because the discussion of the new governor of the imperial court was undecided, all of them, including Wang Huazhen, the right senator who divided the troops in Quang Ninh, were under the command of Xiong Tingbi alone.

Looking at the dust gradually rising in the distance, Xiong Tingbi's hands broke out with fine sweat.

When he was a child, due to his poor family, he was a cattle herding boy, and later even though he studied hard, he still had some elegance and bookish atmosphere compared to the children of famous families.

Xiong Tingbi has a straightforward personality, and has a habit of being conceited and abusive, and there are few good friends in the court.

Before Zhu Youxiao's holy decree arrived, he actually had no confidence at all about whether he could continue to stay in Liaodong.

At this time, a chanter walked up to him and said, "Qiqi Taitai, the resolution of the imperial court has come down." ”

Taitai is a general honorific title for the feudal officials in the Ming Dynasty, in addition, there are also special honorific names for Liaodong Jinglu to join the army.

After receiving the paperwork, Xiong Tingbi had mixed feelings in his heart.

Moved, angry, puzzled......

In the middle of the court, the officials of the Kedao Yan handed over the impeachment of themselves, but the emperor still tried his best to protect himself as the strategy, and the cadres were arbitrary, and promoted the Qingli Shilang Zhonghong Chengchou of the Criminal Department to be the governor of Liaodong to calm the dispute.

Xiong Tingbi doesn't know Hong Chengchou very well, he only hopes that this person will not go against him in Liao affairs.

The current situation in Liaodong, but one wrong step, all lost!

What came was good news, Xiong Tingbi was grateful to Zhu Youxiao at the same time, and slowly squeezed out two words from his mouth:

"Stupid donkey."

In Zanhua's opinion, Xiong Tingbi should be happy when he heard the news, but he didn't expect him to scold with a black face.

Zanhua was a little dazed, and subconsciously asked, "Taitai, what did Fang just say?" ”

Xiong Tingbi glanced at him when he heard this, which made Zan Hua shiver.

The wind is like a blade, and it can even penetrate the cotton armor issued by the soldiers not long ago, which makes people shudder and fear the bitter cold of the border pass.

It's just that in the eyes of Zanhua, this chill immediately pales in comparison with Xiong Tingbi's full anger.

I only heard Xiong Tingbi say: "Zhang Minghe, Wang Huazhen, and the Donglin Party, these stupid donkeys who are still sinking in the party struggle!" ”

Zanhua suddenly realized when he heard this, and he didn't say more.

On a spring day, a warm breeze blew to Jingshi, and Zhang Minghe, who was searching for various strategies after Xiong Tingbi arrived in Liaodong, sneezed at home.

......

More than ten miles northeast of Shenyang City, Puhe place.

In early spring, there is still residual snow that has not melted, and due to the influence of the Xiaoice River period, compared with the Central Plains, agricultural work will be postponed until April and May this year.

Since Jianyu invaded the border, Qinghe and Fushun fell one after another, and the Guangrou Songliao Plain has not seen spring ploughing for many years, and the iron hooves have stepped on, and it is a mess everywhere.

In the land occupied by the Jianjiao, slaughtering the city, shaving their hair, and surrendering, this kind of thing is happening every day, and countless Ming people have become slaves.

"The world is feasting, and the people are prosperous."

These words of peace in the world preached by the Donglin Party only exist in their fantasies, the land of Liaodong, the gunwind swept the ground, and the scarlet blood seeped into the frozen soil.

Puhesuo, the military flag of the Ming Dynasty is burning around countless people who are crying and running, and the hope in the hearts of the Liao people has been destroyed in the fall of one castle after another, and it has turned to despair.

The body of You Shigong, the general soldier of Puhe, was exposed in the wilderness, he was hit by more than ten arrows, was stabbed in the eye by Jianlu, fell from his horse and died, and fought until the last drop of blood was shed.

Around You Shigong's corpse, there were more corpses of Ming soldiers and ordinary people.

Some of the people who had fallen watched powerlessly as the Jianlu cavalry chased the people and took the women to horseback, and they couldn't wait to jump up and fight Jianyu again.

They stubbornly held their last breath to get up, only to receive more rapidly spinning arrows.

At the beginning of March of the first year of the Apocalypse, the slave chief Nurhachi led a heavy army to take Shenyang, first to Puhe, and the general soldier You Shigong commanded thousands of Ming troops, all of whom were killed in battle.

Nurhachi marched in with the army, and on the pretext of helping the Ming army defend the city, he slaughtered all the people in Puhe City and entered Shenyang.

Since Xiong Tingbi took office, he has set up a defense system comparable to Jintang on the front line of Shenyang and Liaoyang.

At this time, Shenyang was guarded by He Shixian, the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, and there were more than ten ravines deep in the outer city, and there were sharp wooden trenches at the bottom, and it was difficult for rats and beasts to walk.

In the deep ditch, there are two deep trenches, wooden fences, horse barriers, gun carriages, and sharp piles.

"Shenyang is really an iron city!"

At night, the Houjin army had besieged outside Shenyang, and the camp was several miles, and Nurhachi even said that once Shenyang was broken, pigs and dogs would be slaughtered.

Inside the camp, unlike the people outside shouting and neighing, there was silence here.

"Amin, didn't you give a military order to take Shenyang in a war?" Nurhachi was so angry that he used one hand to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, "Since you have already landed in the city, why did you retreat again!" ”

The Great Khan was furious, and the remaining Houjin generals were all trembling.

Especially Amin, who had led the vanguard to the city during the day, his eyes were full of anger, fear, and all kinds of emotions.

He shook his huge body, and said with an urn voice:

"Great Khan, the He family is brave, more than a thousand family members, can block more than 400 Baya soldiers in the nephew's department, please give me another chance to personally present the head of the He family!"

Nurhachi knew that his nephew, although he was dissatisfied with anyone, was very brave in the battle, and he didn't want to punish him.

He snorted coldly and said, "Seeing that you are quite brave in battle, and you are the first to climb the head of Shenyang City, I will spare you." ”

"Thank you, Great Khan!" Amin wiped his sweat and stood up.

As soon as Amin got up, Nurhachi ordered someone to tie up a white-flagged bull who was ineffective in combat from outside, drew out a shiny tiger-headed broadsword, and slashed it down.

The latter's eyes widened and he was about to shout, when his hands and feet trembled, and there was no movement.

Nurhachi handed the bloodstained knife into Amin's hand and asked, "Tonight, can you take Shenyang?" ”

Amin shuddered, raised the knife and roared:

"Nephew, this is going to fight again, all pressed! Please rest assured, the head of the bright dog He Shixian today, the nephew has decided! ”

"Okay, this is my Jianzhou warrior!" Nurhachi laughed.
