Volume 1 Liaodong Shock

Chapter 5 Collecting Troops and Asking for the Future

Section 11 Xiong Tingbi

Emperor Wanli looked at the ministers and said, "Now, let's talk about how to deal with the aftermath of the Liaodong matter!" After Yang Hao leaves office, who will take over the Liaodong Economic Strategy? How to consolidate the defense of Liaodong? How to resist Jiannu's next attack? ”

At this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were surprisingly unanimous, and they all remained silent. The difference is that Fang Congzhe felt that he had already made a mistake and didn't want to come out again; Huang Jiashan and Li Linbin were thinking about the right candidate, but they didn't think of it for a while; And most of the civil and military forces don't want to provoke this right and wrong, after all, the land of Liaodong is a tiger's den and dragon pool, and any issues related to Liaodong cannot be easily provoked.

The expressions of all the ministers were all seen by Emperor Wanli, and a wave of anger filled their chests again. Seeing that all the ministers didn't speak, Emperor Wanli directly named and said, "Old Fang Ge, you can talk about it!" ”

Fang Congzhe smiled bitterly and thought, "I still haven't dodged, I can only play Tai Chi." So he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the candidate for this Liaodong Economic Strategy should still be recommended by the courtiers, and then reported to Your Majesty after being reviewed by the cabinet; As for the defense of Liaodong and the question of the strategy of Jiannu, it is better for him to report directly to His Majesty after the appointment of a new Liaodong Governor. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were bulging, and he looked at Fang Congzhe's appearance of "Tai Chi beating again, and everything will not touch his body", and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and beat him.

"Humph! Fang Ge Lao said it so well, it's like he didn't say it! ”

Fang Congzhe's face turned red, standing there very embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Emperor Wanli no longer paid attention to Fang Congzhe, but continued: "What about you? Didn't the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty even have a little insight! ”

No one answered for a while.

Huang Jiashan thought about it for a long time and didn't think of a suitable candidate, but when he was depressed, he saw Li Linbin on the side of his face as if he had suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly glanced at Li Linbin.

Li Linbin was also looking at Huang Jiashan at this time, and when the two looked at each other, Li Linbin opened his mouth to gesture to something. Huang Jiashan looked over carefully, and saw that Li Linbin's mouth shape showed three words: Xiong Tingbi!

"That's right! Xiong Tingbi! If he is recommended, he is fully qualified and capable of serving as the governor of Liaodong. Damn it! Why didn't anyone think of him before the big war! ”

Thinking of this, Huang Jiashan came out and said: "Your Majesty, one person can be appointed as the economic strategy of Liaodong." ”

Emperor Wanli asked, "I don't know who Huang Shangshu wants to protect?" ”

Huang Jiashan said: "Former Liaodong patrol Xiong Tingbi! ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were in a commotion again. But everyone is just talking about it, and no one is objecting, after all, it's too late for everyone to thank someone in this matter, who will come out and sing the opposite tune?

Emperor Wanli thought about it for a moment and said, "How is Xiong Tingbi better than Yang Hao?" ”

Huang Jiashan said: "Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi is a person who patrolled Liaodong in the 36th year of Wanli. Xiong Tingbi faced the characteristics of Liaodong's vast land and sparsely populated and troubled border defense, especially in the face of the rise of the Jiannu forces, he put forward a strategy to defend Liaodong at that time: to consolidate the inside and the outside and to attack the Liaodong with razing, and to prepare Chen Xiubian to build forts and defend the Liao's great plan; And in Liaodong Guangxing military tun, built 17 granaries, and accumulated 300,000 stones of grain within three years; It also built more than 700 miles of side walls, seven cities, and more than 100 piers, which greatly strengthened the defense force of Liaodong; Xiong Tingbi also impeached those who were ineffective and corrupt and bent the law according to the performance of generals and officials in various parts of Liaodong, and thus the military discipline in Liaodong was greatly improved. Therefore, the minister thought that Xiong Tingbi's talent was far better than Yang Hao's. ”

"Humph!" After hearing this, Emperor Wanli glared at Huang Jiashan with some annoyance, and said, "In that case, why didn't you recommend Xiong Tingbi to me before the war?" After losing the war, what kind of talents and powers have come out? What did you do earlier! ”

Huang Jiashan said with a guilty face: "Your Majesty reprimanded that it was indeed the negligence of the ministers who did not recommend capable ministers to Your Majesty in time. However, Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi is indeed talented, he is upright, decisive, and well-versed in military affairs and familiar with Liaodong affairs. ”

Li Linbin also made a list: "Your Majesty, the minister also knows Xiong Tingbi well, he is resolute in encountering problems, has a fiery temperament, and has his own set of methods for dealing with the Hu people, especially in resisting Jiannu, he is indeed the best candidate to serve as the economic strategy of Liaodong." ”

Emperor Wanli nodded, and then looked at Fang Congzhe, wanting to hear his opinion as the head of the cabinet, who knew that Fang Congzhe had always turned his ears to what was going on outside the window, and was only an honest man, never mentioning the selection of Liaodong Economic Strategy, and he didn't even raise his head.

Seeing this, Emperor Wanli lost the mind to consult Fang Congzhe's opinion, and the evaluation of the other party Congzhe in his heart can be said to have declined sharply.

Emperor Wanli thought about it again, and then said: "Okay, according to Huang Shangshu's proposal, I ordered Xiong Tingbi to be appointed as the right attendant of the military department and the right to serve as the imperial history of Liaodong, replace Yang Hao as the economic strategy of Liaodong, take over the defense of Liaodong in an all-round way, and be sure to curb the offensive of Jiannu and stabilize the situation in Liaodong!" ”

That night, Yuan Mingxuan got the news from Fang Congzhe, Huang Jiashan, and Li Linbin, and after comparing and confirming that they were correct, he managed to sneak out of the city gate and rushed back to Liaoyang with his family overnight.

A few days later, Yuan Mingxuan and his entourage rushed to Liaoyang City, when Xiong Tingbi had just left Beijing.

Liaoyang General Military Office.

As soon as Liu Yunwei saw Yuan Mingxuan coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Yuan has worked hard all the way, hurry up and rest and rest, and I will set up a banquet for Lord Yuan in the evening." ”

Yuan Mingxuan said tiredly: "The little general is not in a hurry to rest first, quickly call a few generals, I have brought back important news, and we need to discuss it together." Liu Yunwei was no longer hypocritical when he heard this, and immediately sent someone to call Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, and Wen Poyu back.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Yunwei said: "Lord Yuan has brought back important news from Jingshi, everyone will listen to it and discuss it together." After speaking, he motioned for Yuan Mingxuan to speak.

Yuan Mingxuan nodded, bowed his hand to Lu Ying and the others one by one, and said: "Little general, several generals, Yuan Mou is fortunate to live up to his mission when he enters Beijing this time. Then Yuan Mingxuan told him about his dealings with Fang Congzhe, Huang Jiashan, Li Linbin and the imperial historians of all parties.

Liu Yunwei and the others were shocked when they heard this, and no one thought that sending a letter would lead to so many things. Liu Yunwei was even more afraid for a while and said: "Fortunately, Lord Yuan is here, otherwise we will all be plotted by Yang Hao." ”

Lu Ying asked, "Lord Yuan, what is the result after the court discussion?" ”

"There are results." Yuan Mingxuan said: "Your Majesty has issued an order to remove Yang Hao from his post on the spot, and he will be sent to Liao in the near future, and he will be escorted to Beijing to be reviewed by the Three Law Divisions." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Kaishan was the first to shout: "Okay! Then Yang Ho is to blame! Deserve! ”

Wen Poyu also said: "That's it, let's fight to death in front, then Yang Hao is still splashing dirty water, now see how he frames Zhongliang!" ”

Several others happily chimed in.

Liu Yunwei was also very relieved in his heart, but when he saw that Yuan Mingxuan wanted to talk a little and seemed to have something to say, he waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion and said, "Lord Yuan still has something to say?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan nodded and said, "Yes." The court of the little general also made a decree, and before the little general withdrew Liaoyang without authorization, His Majesty was a little blamed, so he ordered the little general to be reduced to a thousand generals, and the Hanwei battalion was also reduced to a thousand general battalions. ”

"What!" Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, and Wen Poyu shouted almost together.

Wu Xing was also angry, and said, "What did the eldest brother do wrong? Why! ”

Liu Yunwei had a cold face and asked, "Lord Yuan, is there anything else?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan said: "The imperial court is also preparing to transfer the little general and the Hanwei battalion to Sichuan, and the little general will be appointed as the general manager of Sichuan Weiqian, the head of the Sichuan Xingdu Division. ”

Now Lu Ying and the others are silent, although Liu Yunwei was demoted, but he was transferred back to Sichuan, what is this?

Liu Yunwei didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he looked at Yuan Mingxuan, Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, Zhao Kaishan, and Wen Poyu, and asked, "Do you all want me to go back to Sichuan?" Have you all discussed it before? ”

Yuan Mingxuan and Lu Ying glanced at each other and nodded, and the others also acquiesced without saying a word.

Liu Yunwei said to Yuan Mingxuan again: "Lord Yuan, I always feel that something is wrong, you tell me the truth, did you coordinate the transfer of me back to Sichuan." ”

Yuan Mingxuan nodded and said, "It is indeed that I discussed it with Fang Ge Elder. ”

"Why!" Liu Yunwei asked a little angrily: "You give me a reason!" Why should I leave Liaodong now! ”

Yuan Mingxuan looked at Liu Yunwei, who was tormented by grief, pain and unwillingness, and felt very distressed in his heart, but he still said firmly: "In order to take revenge, in order to strengthen the strength to level Hetuala, in order to complete the armament and annihilate Jiannu!" Little general, you must go back to Sichuan. ”

Liu Yunwei almost shouted: "I can do it in Liaodong, why do I have to go back to Sichuan!" ”

Yuan Mingxuan said calmly: "Little general, Jiannu won't give you time, and Nurhachi won't give you a chance to grow." I understand this, and you understand it. ”

Liu Yunwei closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of tears crossed his cheeks. After a long time, Liu Yunwei looked at Yuan Mingxuan and asked, "Then who will take over the post of Liaodong Economic Strategy?" ”

Yuan Mingxuan smiled and said, "The little general has heard of this person: Xiong Tingbi!" ”

Liu Yunwei was suddenly shocked, thought for a while, and then said to everyone: "Tomorrow we will start to reorganize the Hanwei battalion, and start arranging the defense of Liaoyang, let's go back to Sichuan!" Someday, I'll definitely come back here with the Tiger and Wolf Army! ”
