After Xiong Tingbi received a letter from Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he immediately threw Zhang Heming's letter on the table and said: "The cunning rabbit still has three holes, and the Dongyu is not a person who sits and waits to be killed, how can he quickly exterminate it?"
Da Sima only knows how to save money and food, and he also threatens his own officials with the interests of the people in the world, which is really extremely boring!
This strategy is not appropriate, he has the ability, he will do this strategy, he will solve the Dongyu, the official wants to see how he can solve it quickly!
”Xiong Tingbi blew his beard and glared, then stood up angrily, pushed open the window, and let the cold wind blow his face.Seeing this, Zhang Quan, the imperial governor of Liaodong, picked up Zhang Heming's letter and said, "Why is the ministry so angry!
Da Sima is also out of a public heart, if the Liao matter is not solved quickly, it will be a waste of military salaries, the imperial court is now just raising the sect and the domain will cost a lot of money, and other border towns also have to strengthen the military equipment, so the imperial court also has its own difficulties. ”"Hey!"
Xiong Tingbi sighed and said, "But everyone who understands this knows that this Liaodong matter can be solved quickly!"
Even if you smash its lair, the people have already withdrawn, and when you return to the division, what will happen if they break you individually?
At that time, instead of solving the affairs of Liaodong, it will only lead to the deterioration of the situation, and even make my Ming Dynasty lose all the places outside the border!
”At this time, Xue Guoyong said: "Ministry!
The lower officials have the courage to say bluntly, for the sake of the people of the world, if you really lose the place outside the customs, it will be no big problem!
Rather than sitting here now, it is better to finish the battle, if you can solve the Liao matter, if you can't solve it, it's just a dead ear!
If Your Majesty has to levy more money and grain from the world because of this, the world will be in danger and the society will be overturned!
What's more, now that His Majesty is raiding the house at every turn, and he has a great deal of money to ask for money from our gentry, we can't help but take precautions in advance. ”Xiong Tingbi turned around at this time, and looked at Xue Guoyong fiercely: "Short-sighted!"
Do you think that if you give up the land outside the gate, the people inside the gate will be able to live a peaceful life behind closed doors?
It's hard to fill the crap, do you understand?
Once the Liao land is all owned by him, he will follow the example of Mongolia to enter the customs and plunder, and then my Ming Dynasty will still have to spend more military pay to protect the border!
”Xue Guoyong heard Xiong Tingbi say this, so he had to give up his hand and say: "The lower officials are stupid!"
That's what the ministry said!
”Xiong Tingbi snorted, didn't speak again, just sat down in front of the desk, and began to write a letter to Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, explaining his view that he would defend first and then fight.In the following days, Xiong Tingbi was still depressed because of Zhang Heming's letter.Because Xiong Tingbi knew that what he was doing now was against the will of the entire official group.Moreover, Xiong Tingbi is also worried that there is also the emperor's meaning in this.After all, Xiong Tingbi also knew that the treasury of the imperial court would not allow him and Jiannu to be consumed.Even His Majesty the Emperor himself had to think about money and food.After a period of time, when Qin Liangyu and other troops aiding Liao arrived in Liaodong, and handed Zhu Youxiao's edict to Xiong Tingbi for him to read, Xiong Tingbi breathed a sigh of relief."
Your Majesty is still aware of the current situation, and the minister has this king in this life, and he has no regrets!"
Xiong Tingbi said so.But Xiong Tingbi didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor supported him so much.However, because Zhu Youxiao asked Qin Liangyu and others to aid Liao this time, he not only gave Xiong Tingbi an edict, but also allocated 300,000 taels of internal money to Xiong Tingbi, so that he could make up for the arrears of Liao's salary played by Xiong Tingbi before, so as to avoid the phenomenon of mutiny among the soldiers.Therefore, even if Xiong Tingbi didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor supported him so much, he also knew that His Majesty the Emperor must also know that what his strategy needed most was money and food.Therefore, Xiong Tingbi also thought that His Majesty the Emperor should have a way to raise money and food.In Xiong Tingbi's view, he can only live up to His Majesty's trust if he seriously solves the matter of Liaodong and Dongyu for His Majesty the Emperor.Therefore, Xiong Tingbi immediately wrote a recital to Zhu Youxiao, stating that he would act in accordance with the instructions.However, because Xiong Tingbi wanted to act in accordance with the instructions, eliminate the contradictions between the guest army and the local Liao soldiers, and avoid the situation of discord between the two soldiers, he also decided to personally invite Qin Liangyu and Chen Ce and other generals to aid the Liao guest army, and also ordered the Shenyang military officials to be invited, and also asked people to ride horses to Liaoyang to invite Yuan Yingtai.The capital of Liaodong is actually Liaoyang.But because Nurhachi attacked Shenyang last year, and Xiong Tingbi personally led his troops to aid Shenyang, he also stayed in Shenyang temporarily.Yuan Yingtai, as the governor of Liaodong, has been stationed in Liaoyang.Xue Guoyong obtained Xiong Tingbi's consent to go to Liaoyang to ask Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong.However, after Xue Guoguan arrived in Liaoyang, he informed Yuan Yingtai of the news that Emperor Zhu Youxiao supported Xiong Tingbi to defend and fight again in Liaoyang and Shenyang, and said: "Fuchen!
The Son of Heaven blindly supports the strategy of the economy, and if it continues like this, it will only make the world's finances increasingly tight. ”Yuan Yingtai also bowed his head and said: "Jingluo is very afraid of the enemy, which is really incomprehensible!"
The Son of Heaven is far away in Beijing, how can he know the situation in Liaodong, Yuan, as a minister, can't help but ask!
The old man went up and told the truth to the Son of Heaven. ”So, Yuan Yingtai immediately went back to his study, picked up the pen, and began to write to Zhu Youxiao to express his ideas.Yuan Yingtai said to Zhu Youxiao: "The minister thinks that Liaodong should be mainly attacked, because at present, Liaodong soldiers are full of food, and there are many Mongolians fleeing outside the city, which can be organized into soldiers and horses, these Mongolians are all refugees after the invasion of the Eastern Captives, so they have enmity with the Eastern Captives, and the imperial court can take advantage of the Mongols' hatred of the Eastern Captives and take the initiative to unite with the Mongols to attack the Eastern Captives."
After Xiong Tingbi received Zhu Youxiao's edict, Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also received Xiong Tingbi's reply in Beijing.Zhang Heming slapped the table on the spot after reading Xiong Tingbi's reply: "Okay, you bear barbarian!"
Do you still have me in your eyes?
”Ming officials basically used the method of writing letters to their subordinate officials to order their subordinate officials.Because from the institutional point of view, the officials of the Ming Dynasty can be subordinate to the emperor, they do not have a strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, and naturally they have no right to order who to do what.However, in reality, many things need to have a relationship between superiors and subordinates, otherwise it is not convenient to unify the power of affairs.For example, in the early Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng implemented reforms, which were to let local governors act according to his will through private letters.After all, the Ming Dynasty nominally did not have a prime minister system.Therefore, Zhang Heming's writing to Xiong Tingbi is equivalent to ordering Xiong Tingbi.And Xiong Tingbi rejected his order, and Zhang Heming naturally scolded Xiong Tingbi."
This bear barbarian really wants to be the rebel of my gentry in the world, Da Sima, in the later life, it is better for you to write a letter directly to Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, and ask Yuan Yingtai to send troops to solve the matter of Liaodong!"
Xu Shilin suggested to Zhang Heming at this time.Zhang Heming nodded after hearing this: "This is reasonable!"
Now that there are so many soldiers and horses in Liaodi, His Majesty has sent many additional guest troops, it is the time to do it once and for all, this Xiong Tingbi is afraid of the enemy, so simply let Yuan Yingtai send troops!
The church wrote a letter to tell Yuan Yingtai that if he made meritorious service, in the future, the church would recommend him to be promoted to the rank of the military department. ”
