Looking at Xiong Tingbi's dejected expression, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also sighed, this courtier who is dedicated to serving the country should have suffered a lot, which is why his personality is so extreme,

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but slowly recall Xiong Tingbi in real history in his heart, Xiong Tingbi had served in Liaodong three times, and it can be said that these three times were for the journey of realizing his dreams. Maybe in the end, Xiong Tingbi didn't know why he died, why the emperor he worked for for his life, that country would kill him, and he didn't hesitate at all.

The first time Xiong Tingbi went to Liaodong was in the 36th year of Wanli, and Xiong Tingbi patrolled Liaodong. At this time, the Liaodong Jinglu was Yang Hao, and Yang Hao at that time could be said to be in the hands of the army, and he was in the limelight for a while, and a small patrol was not in his eyes.

Under such circumstances, Xiong Tingbi faced the vast and sparsely populated territory of Liaodong and the troubled border defense, especially the rise of the Later Jin forces, put forward the strategy of defending Liaodong "solid inside and outside" and "attacking and destroying with raze", and prepared Chen Xiubian to build forts and defend the Liao's great plan, implemented military cantonments, built 17 granaries, and accumulated 300,000 stones of grain and grain within three years. More than 700 miles of side walls, seven cities, and more than 100 piers were built, and the generals were impeached, and the military discipline was greatly boosted

Xiong Tingbi stayed in Liaodong for eleven years, and during these eleven years, Xiong Tingbi knew Liaodong very well. Whether it is the status quo of the Later Jin Dynasty or the status quo of the Ming Dynasty. In the past eleven years, Xiong Tingbi has been suppressed by Yang Hao, although he has ambitions, but he cannot be used.

In history, Xiong Tingbi served as Liaodong for the second time, after the Battle of Salhu, and the history of this incident is recorded as follows: the 120,000 army commanded by Yang Hao was defeated, and since then the power of the Ming Dynasty has declined, and it has lost its advantage in Liaodong, and has to turn from offensive to defensive. After the war, after the court discussion, Xiong Tingbi was promoted to the right squire of the military department and the right to the imperial history of the capital, and Yang Hao was the Liaodong economic strategy. At that time, Kaiyuan and Tieling fell one after another, and the soldiers and civilians of Shenyang fled one after another.

After Xiong Tingbi arrived, he arrested Li Shanghao, the governor of Zhizhou, who was preparing to escape; Kill the fugitive general Liu Yujie and others in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Yang Hao, the former Liaodong Jingluo, was arrested by Xiong Tingbi and sent to Beijing to be imprisoned, and Li Rubai, the former Liaodong commander-in-chief, committed suicide after being recalled to Beijing. During his tenure, Xiong Tingbi supervised the construction of military weapons, repaired the castle, and dispatched troops to guard the key points, supporting each other and garrisoning the fortification. He also personally toured Shenyang and Fushun, met the situation, summoned the exile, and calmed the people's hearts. Xiong Tingbi's strategy was to focus on defense, oppose the wave war, and unite with North Korea to contain the Houjin, which was very effective, so that the Houjin army did not dare to advance lightly for more than a year.

Xiong Tingbi's second visit to Liaodong can be described as fruitful, although it did not make the Houjin as much, but stabilized Liaodong after the Battle of Salhu. Let the originally crumbling border plug once again become the official of the Ming Dynasty.

The good times didn't last long, Yang Yuan escorted Xiong Tingbi into Beijing, in real history, Xiong Tingbi failed to have such good luck. Xiong Tingbi was deposed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it was Yuan Yingtai who replaced Xiong Tingbi (more on that later). In the next less than a year, Shenyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong, and Liaoyang, the capital of eastern Liaodong, fell one after another, Yuan Yingtai committed suicide in fear of crime, and all east of the Liaohe River fell into the possession of Houjin.

At this time, everyone seemed to think of Xiong Tingbi, and the Donglin Party was not attacking this adult, and it seemed that everyone remembered this capable man. Throughout the history of the late Ming Dynasty, anyone who has the ability will be attacked, and it is often these people who fight and die in times of crisis. Whether it is Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, or later Yuan Chonghuan, as well as Zu Dashou, Cao Wenzhao, etc., this seems to have become a unique thing in this era.

Maybe these capable people blocked the path of those people, always thinking about bringing down these people, and in the end the entire Ming Dynasty was destroyed, I don't know if those people regretted it.

The book returns to the text, and in this way, Xiong Tingbi once again served as Liaodong, which is the third time he has served in Liaodong. But this time Xiong Tingbi met a person, and this person was Wang Huazhen. Although Wang Huazhen was courageous, he underestimated the military strength of the Later Jin and advocated taking the initiative to attack and defeat the Later Jin within three months. The two of them fought one main battle and the other defended, resulting in a situation of "disagreement between the two people", but the result of the argument in the court was to support Wang Huazhen and abandon Xiong Tingbi's strategy.

Here I have to talk about Wang Huazhen's identity, why the court supported Wang Huazhen and gave up Xiong Tingbi, in fact, it has little to do with the strategy itself. The main reason is because of Wang Huazhen's identity, and Wang Huazhen's teacher at this time is Ye Xianggao, the first assistant minister of the cabinet. Ye Xianggao also has another identity, that is, the leader of the Donglin Party in the court, compared to Yang Lian, who has a shallow foundation, this is the leading figure in the Donglin Party.

Wang Huazhen supported heavy troops to defend Guangning, while Xiong Tingbi had a vague reputation and only a few thousand soldiers. Wang Huazhen did not listen to moderation, and planned to attack with Li Yongfang, the enemy general, as an internal response. Before it could be implemented, in the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), ** Hachi led 50,000 horses and horses to attack Hexi in three ways. Cross the Liao River and capture Xiping Fort. Wang Huazhen sent out the garrisons of Guangning and Luyang to attack the Houjin army, and the 30,000 army was annihilated. At the same time, Sun Degong, a spy sent into Quang Ninh by the Later Jin side, provoked a mutiny and opened the city gate to welcome the Later Jin army.

Wang Huazhen escaped from Guangning in embarrassment and met Xiong Tingbi in Youtun. Wang Huazhen wept bitterly in front of Xiong Tingbi, and Xiong Tingbi laughed at him: "How is your plan of 60,000 troops to be wiped out in three months?" Wang Huazhen suggested that he try to stop the Houjin army again, but Xiong Tingbi thought that it was impossible to do anything, so he withdrew to Shanhaiguan. Guangning was lost, Xiong Tingbi did not lead the army into the city for a desperate battle, fulfilling the responsibility of defending the land, but passively retreated to Shanhaiguan, and then Wang Huazhen also retreated into the pass. The entire Liaodong outside the Shanhaiguan Pass was completely occupied by Hachi.

Here we have to talk about Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen, both of whom are quite talented, but compared to Wang Huazhen, Xiong Tingbi has a better understanding of the situation in Liaodong. can also understand the gap between the army of the Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Later Jin, Wang Huazhen's stubbornness led to the defeat of this battle.

At the end of the war, Xiong Tingbi handed over the entire Liaodong to Houjin because of his anger with Wang Huazhen. Although the walls were cleared, the vast and fertile Liaohe Plain was handed over to Houjin, and it was also after getting this piece of land that Houjin had the capital to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Xiong Tingbi's first and second appointments in Liaodong were meritorious, but the third time he served in Liaodong was half a merit, and it should be said that he did not make any contributions. It may be that so many years of depression and so many years of depression have made this wise commander make a very unwise decision.
