After determining the response strategy, we must start selecting suitable people to go to Liaodong, or at least express our attitude openly.
"Although Xiong Tingbi is a capable person, he is incapable of doing anything else. At this time, we must pay more attention to guarding against the slaves and be careful that they take advantage of the situation."
"The post of governor of Liaodong has not been appointed since Yuan Yingtai was dismissed. It is not a problem that it is always vacant. Do you have any suitable candidates?"
It's not that Zhu Youxiao doesn't trust Xiong Tingbi, nor is he worried about his talent, it's just that there are too many affairs in Liaodong, and it will definitely be difficult for him to handle them alone.
Not to mention that Liaodong was already in chaos at this time. If he still only supported Xiong Tingbi, the good situation that Liaodong had just formed might collapse in an instant.
After Yuan Yingtai was captured by him, those officials also sent petitions asking him to appoint new governors, but he suppressed all these.
In addition to delegating power to Xiong Tingbi, another reason was the person they recommended, Guangning Councilor Wang Huazhen.
Zhu Youxiao's dislike of this person was no less than that of Yuan Yingtai.
Historically, after the fall of Liaoshen, the imperial court quickly appointed Xiong Tingbi to resume his post and continue to serve as Liaodong's manager, while Wang Huazhen was appointed as the governor.
Logically speaking, since you have chosen to trust Xiong Tingbi again, you should support his strategy against establishing slaves, use defense instead of attack, stabilize your position and then fight steadily.
But no, the reason they asked Xiong Tingbi to come back was to let him take the blame, because Wang Huazhen was the second Yuan Yingtai. When he was the governor, he always opposed Xiong Tingbi.
What they do is they want the horses to run but don't give them grass to eat.
To be more precise, it was the Donglin Party members who were in power in the DPRK who had no choice but to let him take office. They knew in their hearts that only Xiong Tingbi could stop the old slave's attack, so they did not object to Xiong Tingbi taking office again.
But how can they be willing to suffer losses? If they make a compromise here, they must gain enough benefits from other aspects.
Then Wang Huazhen, then Guangning councilor, came into their sight. Regardless of his qualifications or official position, he was the best candidate to take over. The most important thing is that he was also a core member of the Donglin Party.
His role is to prevent Xiong Tingbi from making meritorious deeds, because in the eyes of these Donglin Party members, except for the so-called Qingliu, everyone else is an enemy.
As a senior Chu Party official, Xiong Tingbi held a high position and held great power, so he was naturally the focus of their attention.
Wang Huazhen had established relationships with many generals and big businessmen when he was serving as Guangning's councilor. In order to gain the support of these people, he reached a consensus with these people. I don't care whether you are smuggling or doing nothing.
And who was Xiong Tingbi? How could he collude with these people? He wished he could kill all these people who were traitors to the country.
So the most famous feud between Jing and Fu in the Ming Dynasty occurred. Xiong Tingbi wanted to defend, and Wang Huazhen took the initiative to attack. Xiong Tingbi wanted to attack, and Wang Huazhen wanted to defend again.
And because the two of them treated those big generals in completely different ways, it directly caused Xiong Tingbi, the manager, to become a mere commander.
Most of the people were vassalized under the command of the governor Wang Huazhen. Except for Xiong Tingbi, who could command his own battalion and personal soldiers, other civilian and military generals did not buy his credit at all.
Xiong Tingbi's temperament could not bear this anger, so he immediately gave up his job. He led thousands of his own soldiers to retreat directly to Shanhaiguan, and he would not argue about matters outside the customs.
When Wang Huazhen learned about it, he burst into laughter. This was exactly what he wanted.
After Wang Huazhen took the power, he followed the same path as Yuan Yingtai, deploying troops and generals vigorously, saying that the old slave was nothing to be afraid of, and he could defeat the old slave in just three months.
Since the path followed is the same as Yuan Yingtai's, the result is certainly not much different.
Guangning, where more than 100,000 Ming troops were stationed, was like a chicken and a dog. The old slave only used one Sun Degong and less than 10,000 slave soldiers to capture this important military town in the Liaozuo.
More than 100,000 Ming troops were killed like lost dogs by thousands of Buddhist slaves. It can be said that they did not even resist. The Ming army did not organize a defense or counterattack at all.
Wang Huazhen was beaten miserably by the old slave and fled in a panic. She didn't even dare to enter Guangning City and ran straight to Shanhaiguan.
He met Xiong Tingbi outside the customs and begged Xiong Tingbi to send troops to rescue Guangning. But how could Xiong Tingbi be such a generous person?
He immediately mocked:
"Why are Futai here free? How is your plan to quell the slaves going? Have you already eliminated the slaves?"
His words made Wang Huazhen feel ashamed and had to run back to Shanhaiguan in despair.
The defeat of the Ming army in Guangning left the Ming Dynasty without a foothold outside the Pass. The Liao army suffered all losses, and Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi, who were governors and managers, were also imprisoned for their crimes.
In the end, the Donglin Party members blamed all serious crimes on Xiong Tingbi. According to them, Xiong Tingbi was a manager who held a heavy army but did nothing to save him. He was the number one sinner.
Wei Zhongxian had long been dissatisfied with this man with a strong personality, especially when the bribe Xiong Tingbi promised him did not come true. Wei Zhongxian hated him even more, so he operated from behind the scenes and slandered the emperor that Xiong Tingbi was the number one in this battle.
sinner.
The emperor believed the slander of his great companion, and in the fifth year of Tianqi's reign, Xiong Tingbi was ordered to be beheaded in the street, and his head was spread to the nine sides to establish his authority.
The real criminal, Wang Huazhen, had nothing wrong with him. He was living and eating well in prison. Not only the Donglin Party members were protecting his life, but Wei Zhongxian was also protecting him.
The reason why Wei Zhongxian wanted to protect him was very simple, just because Wang Huazhen had treated him with filial piety.
It was not until the fourth year of Chongzhen that the Ming army suffered another major defeat at Daling River. Emperor Chongzhen became increasingly angry and angry, and finally killed the culprit the following year.
From this point of view, we can see how dim the Ming Dynasty was at that time. The two powerful forces, Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party, did not care about the interests of the country at all. All their starting points were for their own selfish interests.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao has not appointed a new governor. There can only be one commander-in-chief on the battlefield. Since you have helped him to this position, you must be firm
Believe in him and support him. Even if you fail, you will have no regrets.
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, only Xiong Tingbi, a practical man with both literary and military skills, caught Zhu Youxiao's eye. Only he could stabilize Liaodong and stop Lao Nu.
If a governor is sent to take office too early, it will be meaningless to dismiss Yuan Yingtai before, because the governor can go against Jin Lue, but Jin Lue can't do anything against the governor.
Those culprits who are rooted in Liaodong only need a little blood to get the support of a governor. With the governor as a backer, wouldn't Xiong Tingbi be ignored again?
But things are different now. In addition to the needs of the current situation, Zhu Youxiao also has a group of available people. After more than half a year of his efforts, the Ming Dynasty has changed the national destiny.

PS:
This chapter is not just water, but was written specifically by the author in order to let those book friends who don’t know the history have a good understanding of it.
Tell everyone why the protagonist believes, supports and supports Xiong Tingbi so much.
And why do you hate the Donglin Party so much? To be honest, the harm caused by the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty was not corruption and slandering the emperor, because the official atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty at that time was like this, and officials from other parties were not much better.
, it’s just that the Donglin Party is the most powerful.
Regarding these major events, the author will use a chapter or half a chapter to briefly write about them, with the purpose of letting more people understand this dark history.
Nowadays, many people on the Internet are crazy about Wei Zhongxian, saying that the Ming Dynasty will not be destroyed until Wei Zhongxian dies. Such remarks are pure fart.
Wei Zhongxian is not a good person. He is the same as a civil servant. Everything he does is for his own selfish gain.
Mao Wenlong and Xiong Tingbi were secretly punished by him because they did not flatter him. In order to kill Xiong Tingbi, he even infiltrated Xiong Tingbi into the Donglin Party, which was simply ridiculous.
Since Mao Wenlong will be away from home, Wei Zhongxian has no chance to harm him, but he has also dealt a terrible blow to him. I won't go into details here. If you are interested, you can go and learn more about it.
In short, everyone just needs to remember one thing when looking at the history of the late Ming Dynasty. Whether they are civil servants, military generals, or eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian, they are not good people. This is why there are not many scenes of Wei Zhongxian in this book. The author himself deeply despises this ruffian.
rogue.
As for people like Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, they are only one in a million.
