Chapter 682: Disaster Arises

After the reception banquet, Li Hongyu did not stay in Shanhaiguan, but went to the refugee camp with Yuan Chonghuan to check, and he wanted to plan the refugee camp well before the reinforcements arrived.

On the way to the refugee camp, Li Hongyu and Yuan Chonghuan chatted in the carriage, and the two naturally had a close relationship with Kejinshi.

Yuan Chonghuan was able to become a soldier in Ningqian, both the opportunity and his own efforts, after being nominated for the gold list that year, he failed to be admitted to Shu Jishi and was appointed as Shaowuzhi County, Fujian.

Different from ordinary Jinshi, Yuan Chonghuan, like Sun Chengzong, likes military affairs, likes to talk about the art of war with others, and discusses things with veterans who have retired from the border fortress, so he has a better understanding of the situation of the border fortress.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Chonghuan went to Beijing to report on his work, because he was a member of the Donglin Party, so he was exceptionally promoted by the Donglin Party Yushi Hou Sui, so that he could serve in the military department.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Guangning was captured by the Later Jin Army, and the imperial court discussed sending people to guard Shanhaiguan.

After Yuan Chonghuan learned about it, he immediately made a bold decision, and went to check the terrain outside the customs alone, and after returning to Beijing, he said: "As long as I can give me enough money and food for soldiers and horses, I can guard the Shanhaiguan alone." ”

Therefore, with the support of the officials of the Forestry Party in the DPRK, Yuan Chonghuan was not only not punished for going out of the customs without permission, but was unusually promoted to Ningqian military preparation, supervised the foreign army, and allocated 200,000 yuan in money for him to recruit troops.

Since then, Yuan Chonghuan has embarked on a completely different life path.

"Brother Elemental, you have been here in Shanhaiguan for a long time, do you know why the official army was defeated so badly in Liaoxi?"

While talking and laughing, Li Hongyu Yufeng asked Yuan Chonghuan in a deep voice, his expression was quite serious, although he knew that Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen were not in harmony, but he didn't know what was born in it, "element" is Yuan Chonghuan's word.

"Alas! Supervise discord and cause trouble! ”

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he had a very good personal relationship with Li Hongyu, so he told Li Hongyu everything he knew, anyway, Li Hongyu would know these things in the future.

After the fall of Liaodong, although the Donglin Party members agreed with Xiong Tingbi, who was born in the Chu Party, to be reinstated as the economic strategy of Liaodong, they also recommended Wang Huazhen, who was born in the Donglin Party, to be the governor of Liaodong to restrain Xiong Tingbi.

When Li Hongyu was the governor of Liaodong, he cooperated closely with Xiong Tingbi, and the two complemented each other well, and governed Liaodong in an orderly manner.

Although Li Hongyu was young, he won a big victory in Tieling, which made Xiong Tingbi quite appreciative, and Li Hongyu was also respectful to Xiong Tingbi, which made the two work together happily and a lot less dirty.

The contradiction between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen is not only related to the party struggle in the court, but also related to the personality and style of the two.

After Wang Huazhen arrived as the governor of Liaodong, he wanted to make a big achievement, so he immediately made a military deployment after sitting in Guangning City, wanting to fortify layers to block Houjin.

After Wang Huazhen reported the matter to the imperial court, Xiong Tingbi, who learned the news, thought it was inappropriate, but he did not communicate with Wang Huazhen but also wrote to the imperial court, believing that the defense of Guangning City should be focused on and the troops should not be divided.

After Xiong Tingbi took this recital, the Emperor of the Apocalypse agreed with it very much, and specially issued an edict to reward Xiong Tingbi and abolish Wang Huazhen's plan.

Wang Huazhen lost face because of this incident, so she hated Xiong Tingbi and thought that Xiong Tingbi deliberately embarrassed him.

In fact, there was already a small friction between the two before this, after the troops transferred from all over the Ming court arrived in Guangning, Wang Huazhen changed the name of the army to "Pingliao", which made the people of western and eastern Liaodong very opinionated.

So Xiong Tingbi asked Wang Huazhen to change to 'Pingdong' or 'Zhengdong' on the grounds that the Liao people did not rebel, in order to appease the Liao people, which made Wang Huazhen feel quite dissatisfied.

And the incident of the chapter made Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi have personal grievances, and the signs of disagreement between the strategy and the governor have already appeared.

Speaking of which, the reason why the contradiction between Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi intensified is also related to Mao Wenlong.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Xiong Tingbi wrote to the imperial court, preparing to implement his strategy of besieging Houjin on three sides, hoping that the imperial court could contact Korea to conquer the eight forces of Korea to prepare for war.

Unlike Xiong Tingbi, who advocated the siege of Houjin, Wang Huazhen was inclined to attack, and after the victory of Zhenjiang, he wrote to the imperial court, saying that Houjin had abandoned Liaoyang without garrison, and the soldiers in the lost area of Hedong were looking forward to the Ming army day and night, and the Mongols in the west were also willing to help in the war.

Therefore, considering that the strength of the Houjin garrison in Haizhou was only 2,000 people, if the Ming army was sent to attack secretly, it would definitely be able to conquer it in one fell swoop.

After defending in the southern part of Liaodong, the Jin army learned that Liaoyang was lost and must return troops to reinforce Liaoyang, and the Ming army could take advantage of the dangerous terrain to ambush and annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”

Wang Huazhen's letter was approved by Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, so he asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to send Xiong Tingbi to Guangning City, and Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Jiliao, to move to Shanhaiguan.

Emperor Tianqi finally agreed to Wang Huazhen's attack, Wang Huazhen immediately led the army to cross the Liao River, Xiong Tingbi had to go out of Shanhaiguan to garrison Youtun, Shanglu said that Haizhou was easy to defend and difficult to hold, Wang Huazhen should not take risks.

In the end, Xiong Tingbi became a prophecy, Wang Huazhen returned in vain, and the grievances between the two took a step further.

Wang Huazhen is a little stubborn and self-serving, a little arrogant by nature, so happy, although he is not familiar with military affairs, but he can't listen to the military advice of civil and military generals, especially hates Xiong Tingbi, because the previous grievances and Xiong Tingbi are simply incompatible.

Speaking of which, Wang Huazhen is also a little "cute", he even delusionally thought that Li Yongfang, who surrendered to Houjin, would be his internal response, and believed the words of the Mongols, thinking that Lin Dan Khan would send 400,000 Mongolian soldiers to help him fight against Houjin.

And Xiong Tingbi has the same tough personality as Wang Huazhen, and his strength is a little small, he is angry, and he usually likes to be domineering, so most of the courtiers dislike him.

After the victory in Zhenjiang, Wang Huazhen, who had made great contributions, was quite proud and regarded this victory as a miracle, and its importance was directly after Li Hongyu's victory in Tieling.

However, Xiong Tingbi poured cold water on Wang Huazhen at an inopportune time, saying that the tripartite forces had not yet gathered Mao Wenlong to attack in a hurry, causing Houjin to be furious and slaughtering all the soldiers and civilians of the four guards around Zhenjiang, disheartening the soldiers and civilians of Dongshan, making the Korean monarchs and ministers frightened, discouraged the Hexi army, disrupting the plan of the tripartite advance, and delaying the contact with North Korea, which was really a miracle.

Not only that, Xiong Tingbi also sent a letter to the capital to criticize Wang Huazhen for allowing Mao Wenlong to attack Zhenjiang without permission, and then disrupted his plan.

However, the Manchu civil and military forces were rejoicing at the victory in Zhenjiang, thinking that Xiong Tingbi was jealous of Wang Huazhen.

Xiong Tingbi was not only dissatisfied with Wang Huazhen, but also barred Zhang Heming, the secretary of the military department who protected Wang Huazhen, and wrote to Emperor Tianqi, saying that he had the name of the strategy but not the strategy, and there was not a single soldier under him, and the war in western Liaoning was done by Zhang Heming and Wang Huazhen together, which made Zhang Heming also annoyed Xiong Tingbi.

What's more funny is that Wang Huazhen always believed that Lin Dan Khan, who promised to attack Houjin with him, would send an army of 400,000 to attack the Jurchens, so he always asked the military department to send troops to attack Houjin with the Mongol soldiers, how did he know that 400,000 people were already equivalent to the total population under Lin Dan Khan's rule.

Xiong Tingbi sarcastically said: "Fuchen relied on the Mongols, and he wanted to reap the war merits. I dare not despise the enemy, I dare not say that I can win without a fight. ”

As a result, the 400,000 Mongolian troops expected by Wang Huazhen did not come, and he naturally did not dare to enter the army, and the matter was closed and became a joke.

Although Xiong Tingbi is talented, he is too rigid and has a fiery personality, which makes it difficult for him to get along with his colleagues.

If Xiong Tingbi is excusable for being dissatisfied with Wang Huazhen, it is very unwise for him to offend his immediate boss Zhang Heming, which can be described as stupid or arrogant.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, generals who fought outside the country usually had to first submit the battle plan to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War approved it before it could be implemented, and now the Donglin Party is in power, Zhang Heming is the Donglin Party, Xiong Tingbi should have retreated and endured for the sake of the overall situation, but he did the opposite and angered Zhang Heming.

Therefore, Zhang Heming agreed to everything invited by Wang Huazhen, who was born in the Donglin Party, but was extremely cold and difficult to Xiong Tingbi, and the two resented each other, which can be described as quarreling over everything.

Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, had 140,000 Ming troops in Guangning, but Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Jingluo, was unable to mobilize a single soldier on Shanhaiguan later, and the Jingluo was just a false name.

Due to Wang Huazhen's repeated use of troops and hesitation, the Ming army under his command repeatedly advanced and retreated, so that Houjin had already seen through his intentions, so Xiong Tingbi wrote to Emperor Tianqi, hoping that Wang Huazhen would act cautiously and not treat it as child's play.

Wang Huazhen was quite dissatisfied when he learned about it, and immediately defended himself by playing a song on the fly, and boasted about Haikou, saying that as long as he gave him 60,000 soldiers, he could guarantee that Houjin would be wiped out in one fell swoop, and even if he could not destroy Houjin, he would definitely be able to achieve equal casualties on both sides, so that the enemy would be crushed and that it would no longer become a worry in Hexi.

This is also why Xiong Tingbi ridiculed Wang Huazhen after the fall of Guangning, Wang Huazhen's remarks can be described as unashamed, and he was slapped in the face.

Not only that, Wang Huazhen also used the past when Li Hongyu had the power to make decisions on the spot when he was in Liaodong as an example, hoping that the imperial court would also give him the power to act cheaply.

Obviously, Wang Huazhen also wants to achieve the same feats as Li Hongyu in Liaodi, he thinks very highly of himself, he doesn't think that Houjin is very difficult to deal with, in his opinion, it is just a group of barbarians who have not yet been civilized, there is no big deal, since Li Hongyu can defeat Houjin when he is a teenager, he can also do it.

As a result, before Wang Huazhen could get a reply from the imperial court on this matter, he lost Guangning City, which became a joke of the imperial court.

You must know that Li Hongyu went to clean up the mess after the Battle of Salhu, and beat the Houjin, which was in full swing, to a loss, how could Wang Huazhen, who had more than 100,000 troops but was difficult to go further, and even counted on the help of the Mongols, could compare?

Wang Huazhen also wanted the Mongols to help in the war, and in order to invite Lin Dan Khan to send troops, he sent a lot of money, but he was still released pigeons, which alone was enough to be ridiculed.
