Chapter 20 Donglin Mistaken Liaobian
、、、、、、、
Wei Zhongxian asked Yuan Dahai to investigate Wang Wenyan, but Yuan Dahai took Qian En and them to find Xiong Tingbi overnight, and he firmly believed that as long as he found Xiong Tingbi, he could use him as a breakthrough to turn Wang Wenyan upside down.
Wang Wenyan, known as the world's No. 1 cloth cloth, Donglin think tank, this Yuan Dahai is clear, and the name of Xiong Tingbi, who is rumored to be the first nine sides, is also like thunder. It stands to reason that one of these two people is a leading figure in the Donglin Party, and the other is a member of the Chu Party.
In this regard, Yuan Dahai is very confident, because if his memory is not wrong, he is sure that there is such a thing in the historical materials of later generations - Xiong Tingbi was condemned to the imperial prison for giving up Liaodong and Wang Huazhen, in order to get out of prison, he asked people everywhere to find a relationship, and wanted to get himself out, and finally he found a person, who promised him that he would be able to rescue him, and this person was Wang Wenyan.
Wang Wenyan himself does not have this ability, and it is actually their Donglin Party who sent Xiong Tingbi to the edict, so he counted on Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing to release Xiong Tingbi with their mouths, but they didn't have much hope, so Wang Wenyan decided to find another person to help, and the trustee found Wei Zhongxian and asked Wei Zhongxian to come forward to release Xiong Tingbi.
Wei Zhongxian didn't know that it was Wang Wenyan of the Donglin Party who asked him to do something, and he also cherished Xiong Tingbi's talent, and couldn't bear him to be executed, so he happily offered 20,000 taels, which means that as long as Xiong Tingbi took out 20,000 taels of silver, he could be released from prison and serve the court again. However, the matter was not done in the end, not because Wei Zhongxian did not have the ability, but because Xiong Tingbi couldn't take out 40,000 taels (Wang Wenyan doubled Wei Zhongxian's price, it is said that the Xiong family made up 20,000 taels of silver, but Wang Wenyan wanted to eat another 20,000 taels out of thin air, and the Xiong family naturally couldn't take it out. )
Now what Yuan Dahai has to do is to find Xiong Tingbi, specifically, to find Xiong Tingbi's family, and then get evidence of Wang Wenyan's involvement in this matter from their mouths, and then, things will be simple: What does Wang Wenyan want to do by blackmailing the Xiong family with so much money? How could he dare to agree to release the prisoners? Does this matter have anything to do with Zhao Nanxing? As soon as he opened his mouth, it was 40,000 taels, and his heart was dark, in addition to this, what other illegal things did you Wang Wenyan do, and how many bribes did you accept? You can't swallow so much silver alone, and to whom do you give it to? ……
There is no word for reasoning, what is the sin that you want to add. Regardless of whether Wang Wenyan was angry with the rest of the Donglin Party when he did this, as long as he did it and participated in it, it would be a crime, and as for the rest, it didn't matter.
There are too many means to implicate the things that don't interfere with each other, not to mention that Wang Wenyan is indeed too unclean, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most greedy in the capital.
The Donglin Party is prospering in this person, but it is also going to die in this person! As a fan of Dongchang, Yuan Dahai thinks that he can do this thing perfectly, so he asked the Donglin Party to eat Huanglian dumbly, and obediently carried Wang Wenyan's mess.
In fact, Xiong Tingbi's encounter is actually quite sighing, he has a great contribution to the side affairs, but he also has a great fault, and he was convicted and sent to the edict together with Wang Huazhen, not to wronged him, because he did a stupid thing that countless descendants regretted, that is, to withdraw hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong to Shanhaiguan, and gave up all the military towns and strongholds of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. It can be said that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, after two hundred years of hard work in Liaodong, he gave it up overnight. Compared with Zhang Xueliang, who entered the customs without firing a shot, the two are really difficult brothers and brothers, and they are comparable.
Xiong Tingbi is not wronged, he deserves to die, he must be responsible for his stupid decision!
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, in the battle of Salhu with the Houjin army, the 120,000 army commanded by Yang Hao was defeated, and the power of the Ming Dynasty declined greatly, and it lost its advantage in Liaodong and had 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, and Yang Hao was the Liaodong economic strategy, so Xiong Tingbi began his military career in Liaodong.
At that time, Kaiyuan and Tieling fell one after another, and the soldiers and civilians of Shenyang fled one after another. After Xiong Tingbi took office, he 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 commander of Liaodong Jingluo, was arrested by Xiong Tingbi and sent to Beijing to be imprisoned, and Li Rubai, the former general soldier of Liaodong (the son of Li Chengliang, the only general soldier of the first road who was not annihilated in the defeat of Sarhu), committed suicide after being recalled to Beijing.
Xiong Tingbi's strategy is to defend first, oppose the wave war, and unite with North Korea to contain the Houjin, which is very effective, so that the Houjin army does not dare to advance lightly for more than a year, Nurhachi is also in a dilemma, Xiong Tingbi guards the defense line tightly and tightly, he can't get any benefits at all, and can no longer storm the city on a large scale, so he can only take his eight banners to carry out a semi-robbery military operation. It is said that Nurhachi was so angry that he gave Xiong Tingbi a nickname - "Xiong Barbarian". Whether this nickname really exists, Yuan Dahai has no way to verify, unless one day he can personally arrest the old slave and ask.
It's a pity that when the situation was good, Xiong Tingbi was dismissed, because he was fierce by nature, he had never been willing to suffer, and he got along with his colleagues very poorly. Therefore, it is natural to offend his top boss, the Donglin Party. So, the cabinet of the Donglin Party decided to remove Xiong Tingbi and send another person to replace him, who is also the Donglin Party, whose name is Yuan Yingtai.
Yuan Yingtai is a good official and an outstanding water conservancy expert, it can be said that in the Donglin Party, he is very good, but he can't do one thing, that is, fighting.
After Yuan Yingtai arrived, he changed Xiong Tingbi's previous practice, and put a large number of Mongolian refugees outside the city into the city, but a month later, Nurhachi led his troops to attack, and the Shenyang defender He Shixian resisted desperately, at a critical moment, those Mongolian refugees who were appeased began to show their true colors, they wantonly destroyed the city, attacked the defenders, and joined forces with the Houjin army, He Shixian died in battle, 70,000 troops were annihilated, and Shenyang fell.
After the capture of Shenyang, Nurhachi did not stop for a moment, and attacked Liaoyang again. Liaoyang can be called the first important town in Liaodong, taller and stronger than Shenyang City, surrounded by moats, and red-clothed cannons, it is reasonable that Nurhachi's Eight Banners cannot attack the city with their hands. However, because Yuan Yingtai underestimated the enemy, he regarded himself as capable of literature and martial arts, and it was a piece of cake to deal with the Jurchen barbarians, so he forced the defenders to go out of the city and fight with the Houjin army. Battle result: The 30,000-strong Liaoyang defenders were completely annihilated by the 60,000 cavalry of the Houjin Dynasty, and no one survived.
When the Houjin army entered the city, Yuan Yingtai fulfilled the duties of a Ming courtier, did not panic, calmly put on official uniforms, wore a sword, faced the south, and hanged himself.
Yuan Yingtai died like a martyr, like a loyal minister, but this was not enough to cover up his incompetence! It is also impossible to cover up what the Donglin Party has done in the border affairs of Liaodong!
The destruction of the Liaodong border in the hands of Donglin began in the Wanli year and ended in the Chongzhi Dynasty! The truth of history must not be tampered with!
After the fall of Liaoyang, although Liaodong was in chaos, but the main force was still there, at that time the Ming army in Liaodong still had more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, more than 700,000 people, the western Liaoxi corridor was still firmly controlled by the Ming army, the situation has not collapsed, as long as a little rectification, Nurhachi still has to live in fear.
The Donglin Party also thought of this, so they once again activated the "evil party" Xiong Tingbi and sent him to Liaodong again. And this time, Xiong Tingbi failed to do anything more, and was finally sent to the edict together with Wang Huazhen, the governor of the Donglin Party, because he was angry with Wang Huazhen!
Wang Huazhen was the main battle, Xiong Tingbi was the main defender, and the battle and defense were incompatible, Wang Huazhen thought that he had a tough backstage, ignored Xiong Tingbi, and was defeated, which was caused by his own self-inflicted and arrogant behavior. And Xiong Tingbi simply abandoned Liaodong for Wang Huazhen's breath, this is his own death!
Many people in later generations said that Wang Huazhen was a eunuch, and Yuan Dahai could prove for sure that Wang Huazhen was by no means a eunuch, on the contrary, he was a Donglin party! Moreover, his teacher is Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the Donglin Cabinet!
Let's ask such a person, how can it be a eunuch party, you must know that in the first year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian's name was still Li Jinzhong, and he didn't have much status in the inner court, so how could he snar the henchmen to control the court and organize the "eunuch party"? You must know that in the court in the first year of the Apocalypse, all of them were members of the Donglin Party, which was called the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty", and Li Jinzhong's father-in-law was still thinking about how to compete with the Wei Dynasty in the inner court...... Therefore, blaming the collapse of the border affairs in eastern Liaodong on the incompetence of the "eunuch party", pointing to the deer as a horse, and insisting that Wang Huazhen is a "eunuch party" is really a big joke in the world! And it is even more ridiculous to say that Xiong Tingbi of the Chu Party is the Donglin Party and that he was wronged.
Just for the sake of one breath, regardless of the overall situation, giving up millions of land to other races, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and self-destruction of the Great Wall, Xiong Tingbi died unjustly, and he did even more unjustly in this prison!
