Yuan Chonghuan, the word element, the number is free, and he is a native of Dongguan County, Guangzhou Prefecture.

Because his father Yuan Zipeng was a timber merchant and did business in Pingnan, Guangxi, Yuan Chonghuan grew up in Pingnan, Guangxi since he was a child.

When he was a teenager, he took the boys' exam, but he failed because he violated the principle of "taking the exam in his hometown".

So, Yuan Zipeng found his brother Yuan Yaoxiang, who settled in Tengxian County, Guangxi. Yuan Chonghuan was reborn in Tengxian County, Guangxi Province to take the exam and obtained the status of a child.

At the age of twenty-three, Yuan Chonghuan was promoted in the examination, and since then he has failed the examination four times.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, that is, in the same year of the Battle of Salhu, Yuan Chonghuan was admitted to the Jinshi.

The following year, he was appointed as Shaowuzhi County, Fujian.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Chonghuan was exceptionally promoted by the Marquis of Yushi and served in the Ministry of War.

Guangning was captured by the Houjin army, and Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen moved the people into Shanhaiguan. The situation in Liaodong has reached this point, and many people dare not go to Liaodong.

The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan stood up.

He rode to Shanhaiguan alone, inspected the situation at Shanhaiguan, and got first-hand information.

After returning, he was appreciated by the imperial history of the court, and highly recommended.

As a result, Yuan Chonghuan was officially appointed as the chief inspector of Shandong and the superintendent of Shanhaiguan.

On the eve of departure, he hurriedly visited Xiong Tingbi, hoping to learn more about the intelligence of Liaoxi.

After reading Yuan Chonghuan's famous post, Xiong Zhaoqi was sure that the person in front of him was Yuan Chonghuan, who was riding alone a few days ago.

"Gong Yuan will wait for me here for a while, and let me report to my father."

"There's a big boy Lao." Yuan Chonghuan thanked him.

Xiong Zhaoqi returned the salute and turned around and entered the house.

He walked quickly to the study and asked, "Father, is it convenient for the child to come in?" ”

"Come in."

Xiong Zhaoqi entered the study and saw his father loading the letter into the envelope, so he stopped.

After his father sealed the letter and handed it to the person who delivered the letter, Xiong Zhaoqi stepped forward: "Father, there are people outside the door who want to see you." ”

"See me? Who! Xiong Tingbi asked.

"Yuan Chonghuan, the new supervisor of Shanhaiguan."

"Yuan Chonghuan? Is it Yuan Chonghuan who went to Shanhaiguan alone to investigate the situation? ”

"Exactly. He said that he was about to leave and wanted to see you. ”

Xiong Tingbi didn't agree immediately, he was a little hesitant.

Before Yuan Chonghuan, there was a high-minded Wang Huazhen, who was actually a straw bag, which made Xiong Tingbi a little hesitant about this kind of person.

He thought about it, it was inevitable that he would be imprisoned, but Liaoxi couldn't give up.

"Send someone to invite Yuan Chonghuan to the study, I want to see him here."

Xiong Tingbi made up his mind that Liaoxi could not fall here, and someone must recover it.

I only hope that God is pitiful, Yuan Chonghuan is a person who can do things.

"In the study, it's not appropriate, is it?" Xiong Zhaoqi felt that it was inappropriate.

"Right here, go."

"Yes, father."

Soon, Xiong Zhaoqi led a small middle-aged man to the study.

Xiong Tingbi guessed that the middle-aged man was Yuan Chonghuan, so he got up and saluted.

Yuan Chonghuan returned the salute, and then reported to his home.

The guests on both sides will be seated as guests and hosts.

"I've heard of your deeds. Now that I have been entrusted with a heavy task by the imperial court, it is really surprising that I have come to see a criminal minister who led to the fall of Liaoxi. ”

Of course, Xiong Tingbi was not telling the truth, he was tempting.

Yuan Chonghuan sat upright and said, "I have also heard what Lord Xiong did. The merits are not for me to tell. But I firmly believe that Master Xiong is innocent. ”

Xiong Tingbi was slightly surprised, and smiled with relief in his heart, but there was no big change on his face.

"So, have you ever thought about the strategy of defending Liaoxi?" Xiong Tingbi asked with a serious face.

"Defend first, then fight, and the camera acts."

Yuan Chonghuan paused word by word and replied seriously.

"Defend first and then fight, you are a little smarter than Wang Huazhen."

After that, Xiong Tingbi ordered the servant to empty the desk, and then brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and placed it on the table in the study.

"It's useless to talk big, I want to see if you have real material."

Xiong Tingbi pointed to the white paper: "You draw for me the important border fort on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan immediately picked up the pen, dipped in ink, and drew an important border fort on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty on white paper.

Due to his lack of talent for painting, Yuan Chonghuan painted like graffiti, but the content was generally correct.

After Yuan Chonghuan finished painting, Xiong Tingbi picked up the pen and added a stroke to the location of Liaodong.

"Here, last year, a new important new city was built, called Zhenyu City."

Xiong Tingbi said: "This is a new city built in Xintun in Jinzhou, guarding the traffic artery, and a large number of Hongyi cannons are arranged on it, which repelled Nurhachi at the end of last year. ”

"Hongyi cannon? I've seen it in Guangdong, and it's powerful. ”

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes widened, he didn't expect that someone in the north would also use it.

Xiong Tingbi nodded: "Thirty Hongyi cannons are arranged on the city wall, and there are more than a thousand bird guns to help in the battle, plus a large number of crossbow arrows, so that Nurhachi cannot capture this city." ”

"Who is the man who built the city?"

"It's Sun Yuanhua and Jiang Chaodong, but the person in charge is named Yang Chengying, and it is said that he was born in a military household in Shenyang, I don't think it's possible."

"He's in the Golden State? We might even meet it. ”

"Unless you go to Golden State, you won't meet him in your life."

"Why?"

"He was forced to be scared by Wang Huazhen and Wei Zhongxian, and he took the Chinese army with him everywhere."

"That's ......"

Yuan Chonghuan felt a little regretful.

Xiong Tingbi pointed to the map drawn by Yuan Chonghuan, starting from Zhenyu City, Jinzhou City and other places, explaining to Yuan Chonghuan one border fort and one stronghold.

It is pointed out that some of the border forts are abandoned, and some of the border forts are incorrectly drawn on the map.

Xiong Tingbi said it seriously, and Yuan Chonghuan remembered it seriously.

At this time, in the palace, Xu Guangqi had already told the Emperor of the Apocalypse about the victory in Jinzhou.

After listening to Xu Guangqi's narration, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was happy.

"I heard earlier that Liaoxi had fallen, and I was anxious. Unexpectedly, there are heroes in southern Liaoning, who can make Nurhachi break his halberd. ”

Zhu Youxiao said excitedly: "Such a hero, I really want to meet him in person." ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up, if Yang Chengying came to the capital, it didn't mean that the tiger had entered the cage.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, if you want to see Yang Chengying, what's so difficult, just send someone to summon him to Beijing."

Wei Zhongxian harbored evil intentions and immediately suggested.

Zhu Youxiao felt that this proposal was good and was about to agree.

Xu Guangqi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work for the time being." ”

"Why?" Zhu Youxiao was a little displeased.

"Nurhachi has suffered a loss, and there is a possibility of going south for revenge at any time."

Xu Guangqi said: "If Yang Chengying is not in Jinzhou at this time, and Nurhachi goes south, who can resist it." ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so he said: "Xu Aiqing is right, don't call him for the time being." ”

Wei Zhongxian frowned, he didn't expect Xu Guangqi to sabotage his plan and gritted his teeth.

"However, Yang Chengying has made such a great contribution this time, he can't help but appreciate it."

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to give him all the four guards in southern Liaoning, allow him to act cheaply, and give him a baron." ”

"Your Majesty, is this matter worth discussing again?"

Wei Zhongxian didn't want Yang Cheng to get the title, so he spoke out to stop it.

"Why?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The inquest of the head has not yet been completed, so it seems inappropriate to give a reward so early."

Wei Zhongxian explained.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and nodded in approval.
