How to answer?

No matter how you answer, you shouldn't have looked at me so directly!

Zhu Youzhen glared at Gao Qiqian viciously, and after a moment of preparation, he spoke: "Mr. Xiong, this information was reported separately from various places, and it was only written into the file after it was summarized and verified by Jinyiwei. They should be pretty much reliable. ”

"Oh, it's been verified by Jinyiwei?"

There was a look of relief on his face, and then Xiong Tingbi stopped speaking, lowered his head and concentrated on flipping through the file.

Seeing that Xiong Tingbi just muttered in a low voice, he went to look through the file again, and there was no sign of doubting his identity, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Hehe, it seems that he is thinking too much.

It seems that he Zhu Youzhen really doesn't have any royal tyranny, otherwise, how could he not attract Xiong Tingbi's attention in the slightest?

Zhu Youzhen appeared in the Imperial Prison in disguise, mainly to let the famous Xiong Tingbi comment on the Liaodong war preparedness plan he had prepared. Oh, Zhu Youzhen gave the ongoing combat readiness plan a very loud name, the 'Pingliao Plan'.

Out of great importance to the upcoming Ningjin War and to ensure that the 'Ningjin Great Victory' could be obtained, Zhu Youzhen has not only kept a close eye on Wei Zhongxian and the 'Ningjin Combat Readiness Group' and urged them to complete the deployment of all kinds of materials needed for the war readiness plan as soon as possible, but Zhu Youzhen also personally ordered the brothers' cargo station to open again on the Ningjin front line and make every effort to transfer all kinds of materials needed for war readiness to Ningyuan and Jinzhou.

In view of the fact that Jinzhou City was a rush to repair the newly built city, in order to ensure that the Ming army could hold Jinzhou, Zhu Youzhen even took the 10 6-pounder iron mold cannons that Sun Yuanhua had worked hard to cast in the past few months, as well as the 6 groups of gunners he had worked hard to cultivate, and also asked Shen Shouyao to send them directly to Jinzhou with the 'Zhen No. 1'.

Due to the explosion of Wang Gong's factory and the shortage of gunpowder in the capital, Zhu Youzhen also specially reminded Wei Zhongxian and asked him to deploy another batch of gunpowder from Ningyuan for Jinzhou City. If not, Zheng Pingchu's time in charge of the internal exercise army was still short, and the internal exercise army could not come in handy, Zhu Youzhen wanted to transfer an internal exercise army to Jinzhou to see the real war.

It can be said that Zhu Youzhen has mobilized all the resources he can use for the upcoming Ningjin War. But even so, Zhu Youzhen was still at ease about the upcoming battle of Ningjin.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen suddenly remembered Xiong Tingbi, who had been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison. In terms of military talent alone, based on Zhu Youzhen's understanding of his past and present lives, this Xiong Tingbi is the first commander of the two dynasties of the Great Tomorrow Qi Chongzhen.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, after the defeat of Salhu, the Wanli Emperor used Xiong Tingbi to clean up the mess in Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi seized the short time for Nurhachi to rest and recuperate his troops after the war, quickly integrated the Ming army in the Liaoshen region, and forced the Jurchen Eight Banners under the command of Nurhachi back with a series of small battles to avoid the real and attack the false.

It is said that Yuan Chonghuan's Ning Yuan is the only defeat in Nurhachi's life. In fact, long before Yuan Chonghuan, Xiong Tingbi had made Nurhachi unable to hold his head up. For this reason, Nurhachi hatefully called Xiong Tingbi 'Xiong Barbarian'.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, if it weren't for the death of Wanli, the Donglin Party of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty replaced Xiong Tingbi, who was the Chu Party, and replaced it with Yuan Yingtai, who was on paper to supervise Liaoshen, and it was difficult for Nurhachi to win the Liaoshen War.

After the Liaoshen fiasco, in the face of the surging public opinion of the government and the opposition, the Donglin Party had to reactivate Xiong Tingbi as the Liaodong Economic Strategy. But although Xiong Tingbi was the governor of Liaodong, the power of Liaodong at that time was completely in the hands of Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong supported by the Donglin Party.

In the face of Wang Huazhen, who echoed with the courtiers in the capital and did not listen to the command at all, Xiong Tingbi could only take the 5,000 Chinese troops directly under him to sit in Shanhaiguan. It was also at that time that Xiong Tingbi proposed to take Tianjin and Denglai as the line, connect Guangning, Dongjiang, and Lushun, and take advantage of the boats to attack Houjin's strategic subordinates.

It's a pity that due to discord, Wang Huazhen did not listen to Xiong Tingbi's subordinates, but naively believed in the fake surrender of Li Yongfang, the Later Jin Han general, and rashly launched the Guangning War, which led to the Ming army's Guangning fiasco. Xiong Tingbi, who only had 5,000 soldiers in his hands, faced Nurhachi, whose main force had not yet been fully dispatched, had no choice but to lead the Liaodong army and civilians to retreat to Shanhaiguan.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, after the fiasco of Guangning, in order to deter the guards of Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi was recommended to be beheaded by Sun Chengzong for abandoning Liaodong without authorization.

In this life, if it weren't for Zhu Youzhen's intervention, Xiong Tingbi would have been killed a long time ago.

Although Sun Chengzong suggested that Xiong Tingbi be killed in order to kill chickens and monkeys, the strategy implemented by Sun Chengzong in Liaodong was still the three-way strategy proposed by Xiong Tingbi back then. It's just that Sun Chengzong replaced the original Guangning with the later Ningyuan.

Speaking in detail, the 'Pingliao Plan' that Zhu Youzhen is now taking, which was born out of the War Department's combat readiness plan, is actually a copy of Xiong Tingbi's tripartite parallel plan.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhu Youzhen specially wanted Xiong Tingbi, the real initiator of the plan, to comment on the feasibility of his 'Pingliao Plan'.

It's just that Xiong Tingbi is in the edict prison and has a felony of beheading. Without a suitable reason, Zhu Youzhen did not want to pardon Xiong Tingbi's crime rashly. After all, in the short term, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to poke the crazy hornet's nest in the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, Zhu Youzhen, who didn't want to cause Xiong Tingbi's comments to be distorted by the rumors, using a disguise to sneak to the edict was the best plan he could think of.

Seeing that Xiong Tingbi didn't recognize himself, and was still concentrating on reading and extracting the information from the file, Zhu Youzhen boredly flipped through a manuscript on the desk.

After carefully flipping through the content of the manuscript for a moment, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but look up and observe Xiong Tingbi again.

"Alas, what a pity."

When he saw that Xiong Tingbi had always been concentrating on the file, unaware of his behavior of peeking at the manuscript, Zhu Youzhen sighed regretfully in his heart.

This manuscript should be the self-defense that Xiong Tingbi said. In the manuscript, Zhu Youzhen saw that Xiong Tingbi wrote in detail the before and after of the Battle of Guangning. Xiong Tingbi used many examples to demonstrate the correctness of his retreat from Quang Ninh.

The content of this manuscript made Zhu Youzhen fully feel Xiong Tingbi's superb military talent, but Zhu Youzhen also found that compared to his outstanding military talent, Xiong Tingbi was like an idiot in politics.

Throughout the manuscript, from beginning to end, Zhu Youzhen did not see Xiong Tingbi have any intention of bowing his head and admitting his mistakes.

In other words, if you really want to follow Xiong Tingbi's self-defense, then Xiong Tingbi himself was not wrong at all in the Guangning War. It was Wang Huazhen who was wrong, and it was the military department and cabinet that supported Wang Huazhen. Even the inner court at that time, Xiong Tingbi did not let go.

Seeing Xiong Tingbi's self-defense with such a big blow, Zhu Youzhen finally understood the real reason why Xiong Tingbi died earlier than Wang Huazhen, the real culprit in the battle of Guangning.

Xiong Tingbi What kind of self-defense book is this, he is clearly a suicide invitation!
