Chapter Ninety-Eight: Liaodong General Army, Dingyuan Marquis, Wang Qi Arrives!

In Ningyuan City, people are panicking.

Who would have thought that more than a month ago, the situation in Liaodong, which had tended to be balanced, suddenly collapsed to this point less than ten days after Wang Qi left?

The news of the sneak attack of the Ming army in Haizhou came to the Houjin army, from Guangning Zhongwei to Siping Fort in the west, hundreds of thousands of people from more than 30 guards fled south with their families for a time.

Ningyuan City, which was originally in the rear of the war and had been peaceful for a long time, has now changed the situation and has become the front line against Jiannu.

Although Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Jingluo has been in a state of confusion all day in the past few days, he has also been thinking silently in the dead of night, and the reason for his failure is only four words:

"Greedy for merit!"

When Nurhachi deliberately released the news that Houjin was about to attack the Korean State in a big way, Xiong Tingbi actually hesitated for a moment, he wanted to wait and see what happened, and he wanted to invite the imperial court first.

But in the face of such a great achievement, even if it is him Wang Qi, he must be a little moved, right?

And not only did he get the news from Bingbeidao, but also the Jinyi Guard in charge of Lu Enguang also sped on the Houjin soldiers and horses from Shenyang to move out of the city and drive south to Korea, so that the Ming Dynasty received wrong military information in the direction of Liaodong.

On the other hand, under Xiong Tingbi, there is also a group of confidants and civil and military officials, seeing that Wang Qi has risen to the top since the battle of Zhenwubao, and now his official position is close to the chief military officer of Liaodong, who is not red-eyed?

Who can think that Wang Qi is bad?

Thinking of this, Xiong Tingbi grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it to the ground!

Bang!!

The porcelain pieces are shattered and the tea is splashed.

In fact, Xiong Tingbi was annoyed, not only did he rashly send troops to force Haizhou Wei, but in fact, after the Houjin siege of the city, he also had the opportunity to attack from the new organization and beat the Houjin back!

After all, compared to the Eight Banners soldiers who fought immediately, the Ming soldiers were known for defending the city.

However, because Xiong Tingbi did not control his subordinate generals enough, he relied on his henchmen and despised foreign generals, favoring one over the other, reusing Liu Qu, Zu Dashou, Luo Yiyi and others, and excluding Qi Bingzhong, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others, which made the generals centrifuge, and some generals were unwilling to contribute in this battle, after all, the credit for winning was not their own, but it was their own strength that was defeated and lost.

So far, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses have crossed the border to fight, cooking oil in the fire, mighty, but the end is that more than 30 percent of the soldiers have become routs and displaced people, more than 30 percent of those who have no time to escape were captured by Jianzhou, and more than 30 percent were coerced to return to Guangning Youtun, and because of the further coercion of Jiannu, they can only abandon the city and go, cross the big and small Ling River, and now, they can only defend Ningyuan City.

The ending is four words: lost a thousand miles.

Once defeated so far, what face does this official have to see the emperor again, the people of the world again, and his colleagues!

Xiong Tingbi was sad from it, and he felt that even if he returned to Beijing City, it would be the end of the first nine sides.

"Adult !!" At this moment, the hurried voices of relatives outside the hospital sounded, as if they were in a panic.

Well?

Xiong Tingbi opened his eyes suddenly, suddenly got up from the chair, and the sword in his hand was already tightly raised: "What's the matter?" Is Houjin chasing after him again? ”

Now Xiong Tingbi, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and the wind is loud.

If Jiannu chases here, then this Liaodong Jingluo will not take a step back! The decision to die here has been decided.

"Yes, it's Mr. Wang's arrival! Just entered the city." Breathless, it looks like he's run a long way.

Mr. Wang?

Xiong Tingbi frowned, didn't react for a while, and said with some doubts: Is there a chief military officer surnamed Wang under his command? Which town guard officer?

"My lord," replied softly, pursing his lips.

"It is the commander-in-chief of all military affairs in Liaodong, the new commander-in-chief of Liaodong, the Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Qi!"

Wang Qi has arrived?

Xiong Tingbi's eyes shrank suddenly, and he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the collar of his entourage: "Wang Qi has arrived?" Where is it? ”

Ahem, ahem!!

The entourage was stuck in the neck, almost out of breath: "I have arrived in the city, in the military chamber, to convene all the officials to discuss the matter"

"Hurry, hurry!!" Xiong Tingbi let go of his hands, arranged his collar in a panic, and said busily: "Take this official to meet the king"

As he spoke, Xiong Tingbi reacted to the title in front of Wang Qi's name, turned his head to look at his relatives, and said with some uncertainty: "Is it the general soldier of Liaodong, the Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Qi??" ”

"There is a holy purpose," the pro nodded:

"Wang Qi announced on the spot that as soon as he took over the military and political affairs of Ningyuan City, all affairs in the city, large and small, should be controlled by him."

In three months, from a small hundred households, he was promoted to the chief soldier of Liaodong and was named the Marquis of Yuan!

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a few breaths before exhaling heavily, and sighed sincerely: "This is fate!" This is a martial song! ”

When Xiong Tingbi arrived at the military conference hall in Ningyuan City, the entire military conference hall was slowly crowded with Liaodong generals who had retreated here from the Ming Dynasty.

"I've seen Lord Jinglue!"

"The last general will meet you."

Zu Dashou, Luo Zhengyi, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and others all saluted Xiong Tingbi one by one.

Although Haizhou Wei failed miserably, there is still due respect for the first term of the minister.

Da Ming Wenchen, decency is the most important thing.

"What about Wang Qi?" Xiong Tingbi came to the front of everyone, stretched his neck and swept it, but did not see Wang Qi's figure.

"Back to the words of the lord, I just heard that the Marquis of Dingyuan is coming, and a large number of defeated soldiers and displaced people have gathered at the yamen for a while, and they all want to see the general soldier, and the general soldier Wang has gone out to appease the crowd," Zu Dashou stood beside Xiong Tingbi and opened his mouth to explain.

Haizhou Wei saved Xiong Tingbi's life, and Zu Dashou is Xiong Tingbi's benefactor.

Xiong Tingbi's face turned red when he heard this, Wang Qi's prestige in Liaodong was so great, and he was a little dwarfed by it.

Although Wang Qi was not there, everyone in the hall obviously had expectations, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

I want to be under the leadership of Wang Qi, at least I can stick to Ningyuan City, and don't retreat to Shanhaiguan again.

Moreover, most of the generals in the hall, especially the Liaodong gate valve clan represented by the ancestral family, are all in Liaodong, and if they retreat to the Guannei, they will accumulate for decades and be ruined.

From the bottom of their hearts, everyone also hopes that Wang Qi's arrival can turn the disadvantage.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was silence at the door.

At the same time, a roll call was loud:

"Liaodong General Soldier, Marquis Dingyuan, Wang Qi has arrived!"

Before the person arrives, the prestige has arrived.

A tall figure as tall as a mountain walked through the door, and several officials in unequal clothes behind him automatically lagged behind.

Wang Qi was dressed in a dark red gilt brocade robe, stepped on black-soled official boots, and stepped into the hall.

The people in the hall automatically lined up on both sides, and bowed at the same time:

"The last general will pay homage to the chief military officer of Liaodong!"

Ten steps later, Wang Qi walked to the front of the crowd, and Xiong Tingbi, who was the strategy of Liaodong, consciously stepped aside, bowed slightly, and saluted: "Xiong Tingbi pays a visit to the Marquis of Dingyuan!" ”

Glancing at this defeated Liaodong Jingstrategist, Wang Qi said, "Lord Xiong, let's sit together." ”

After speaking, Wang Qi turned to look at the officials in the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me." ”

Ladies and gentlemen, please ask for a vote, thank you, thank you!!

Monthly passes, recommended tickets are available, I like them all, I want them all.

Thank you!
