Chapter Seventy-Three: The General

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse returned to the palace, the sun had already set, and this day's rush made the young emperor feel tired, and he fell asleep early.

There was nothing to say all night, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse got up very late this morning, and today's morning dynasty is in the soup again. There is really no way to be inert about people, this Emperor of the Apocalypse seems to have been accustomed to this lazy method, and he doesn't take the early dynasty so seriously.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse was bored, the matter of choosing a concubine was proceeding according to the schedule, and another thing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not expect was quietly happening, if it was to follow the trajectory of history, it would be a thing that would be unacceptable to anyone.

The early spring in Liaodong is still cold, and there is no meaning of spring at all, and every Liaodong soldier knows that this season is the most likely time to get sick.

At the gate of the camp of the Ming army, a carriage was parked, which was said to be a carriage but it was different from an ordinary carriage, because it was a prisoner's carriage. Inside the tall wooden cage stood a man, a middle-aged man wearing a white prison uniform and a mantle. Although this person is very embarrassed, his eyes are very bright, and no matter who he looks at, he is breathtaking.

This person is none other than Dali Temple Cheng and Henan Provincial Supervisor of the Imperial History, the current military department Shangshu Xiong Tingbi, who came to Liaodong on behalf of the Son of Heaven to condole with Lord Xiong. At this time, Xiong Tingbi no longer had his original might, and he looked very embarrassed.

Speaking of Xiong Tingbi, we have to mention a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, that is, the famous Battle of Salhu in history.

This battle took place in the 36th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, when Yang Hao, a well-known incompetent person in history, served as the commander of Liaodong. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had an absolute advantage over the Later Jin, but this Yang Haozhi was very talented and sent a four-way army to encircle and suppress the Jianzhou Jurchens at that time.

Because of this command error, he was defeated one by one by the four armies of the Ming army of the Later Jin Dynasty, and the Ming army was annihilated by 50,000 of the 100,000 elite soldiers when it set out on the expedition. Countless grains and grass materials were lost, and the vitality of the Ming army at this station was greatly damaged.

After the Battle of Salhu, Liaodong was lost from the north of Shenyang, and the Ming Dynasty did not have the strength to send troops to conscript. And the person who kept Shenyang was this Xiong Tingbi. When Xiong Tingbi came to Liaodong, the Ming army had already been defeated, and the Houjin Eight Banners took the opportunity to attack the city and conquer Shenyang.

After Xiong Tingbi came to Shenyang, Xiong Tingbi took office and arrested Li Shanghao, the governor of Zhizhou, who was about to escape, and beheaded 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 the former Liaodong general Li Rubai (the son of Li Chengliang, the only general soldier who was not annihilated in the defeat of Sarhu) committed suicide after being recalled to Beijing. Xiong Tingbi stationed troops to build a city at that time, turning the situation in Liaodong around.

Since then, this Lord Xiong has been stationed in Liaodong, and the great hero of Houjin**Hachi suddenly lost his former majesty. No matter how provocative it is, this Xiong Tingbi just doesn't go out of the city and has always stuck to Shenyang.

**Hachi suffered several losses at Xiong Tingbi's hands, for this Xiong Lord, **Hachi had no way at all, and gave him a nickname called Xiong Manzi.

Xiong Tingbi is a typical military attaché, with a rough heart and a very bold personality, but he is proficient in military affairs. This adult's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is flawless, but he really can't get used to these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that these people are corpses and are useless.

So Xiong Tingbi repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction, and the way he expressed it was to scold, I have to say that this general is a very lovely person. not only scolded the civil officials, but also scolded the military department, and even scolded the supervision of the imperial history. One can imagine how unpopular this General Xiong is in this era of civilian officials.

You must know that at this time, the civil officials were in charge, the military department was Xiong Tingbi's top boss, and the supervision of the imperial history was responsible for supervising hundreds of officials. Although for this Lord Xiong, these people all said that they would not be with him, and they did not bother to meet him in general. However, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were famous for their caution, and for people like Xiong Tingbi, these people would naturally keep it in their hearts.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse had just ascended the throne, **Hachi led the children of the Eight Banners to attack Shenyang, but he was beaten back by Xiong Tingbi again.

But what should have happened in history didn't happen, and I don't know if it was because of the arrival of the Emperor of the Apocalypse that changed the track of history. But at this time, things seemed to be back on track, and the bear general was unlucky.

At this time, the Liaodong forces were intertwined, but in this place, military power was the root of speech. At this time, Liaodong had 100,000 Ming troops, and most of the military power was in the hands of Yang Yuan, the governor of Liaodong. Who is this Yang Yuan? It is the uncle of Yang Hao, the former Liaodong Jingluo that we mentioned above. How many soldiers does Xiong Tingbi have in his hands? The answer is 10,000 people, and these 10,000 people also gave Xiong Tingbi to the imperial court from time to time, and it was he who collected part of the defeated Ming army in Salhu, about 5,000 people. The other 5,000 people were recruited by the bear general himself.

It was with these 10,000 people that Xiong Tingbi was stationed in Liaodong and blocked the front of Hachi's troops.

Back to the text, Yang Yuan, the governor of Liaodong, can be said to hate Xiong Tingbi to the core, and Yang Hao was imprisoned by Xiong Tingbi at the beginning. Yang Yuan once begged Xiong Tingbi, hoping that he could intercede for Yang Hao and save Yang Hao's life, but Xiong Tingbi refused with words.

It is conceivable that this Yang Yuan hated Xiong Tingbi, and at this time, Xiong Tingbi was put into a prisoner car by Yang Yuan, loaded into a wooden cage, and prepared to be escorted into Beijing. Just like his nephew back then, Yang Yuan believed that as long as he got him in, he would definitely not let him out.

Looking at the Ming army camp that was farther away from his original position, Xiong Tingbi's heart was very complicated, although he hated Yang Yuan, he never regretted what he had done. But for his future and future, the general has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know what the newly enthroned emperor looks like.

If the Emperor of the Apocalypse is a wise lord, then Xiong Tingbi believes that he will definitely be able to return here again, and he will definitely be able to show his ambitions. If you are still like the previous emperor, then you must be more than lucky. Although Xiong Tingbi has a violent personality, he is not stupid, he knows that since Yang Yuan chooses to do it, then the capital must be ready, and his only reliance is the newly enthroned Majesty.

Xiong Tingbi has a clear understanding of his popularity, and after arriving in the capital, he doesn't know if there will be someone who intercedes for himself. There are definitely a lot of people who step on themselves.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was walking in the palace at this time, and he was not prepared for what was going to happen next, perhaps this would be an important turning point.
