If the family members were in Liao, it would seem that there was no burden to surrender. Anyway, the family and the property were there, just change their hairstyle and change their loyal master.

As for the guest soldiers, isn’t it because their families are far away and surrender will implicate their families, so they dare to fight, or they have to fight desperately?

Xiong Tingbi was extremely pleased to see the secret letter asking questions in a questioning tone and writing out his own analysis and judgment.

In the 47th year of Wanli, the famous Battle of Sarhu occurred, and the 470,000 army commanded by the Liaodong governor Yang Hao was defeated.

After the court's proposal, Xiong Tingbi was promoted to the Right Minister of War and the Right Censor of the Censor of the Ministry of War, replacing Yang Hao as the governor of Liaodong, thus reviving the battle situation in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, "and thus people's hearts are restored."

He summoned Liuyi to comfort Shenyang, and entered Fushun at snowy nights. Xiong Tingbi used the tactic of resisting the enemy to defend the city to make Jiannu have no gaps.

At that time, there were also attacks on Xiong Tingbi in the court. However, Emperor Wanli trusted Xiong Tingbi, gave him the sword of Shangfang, sheltered him from the wind and rain, and raised funds and grain for him.

But all this changed after Emperor Wanli's death. In the first year of Taichang, Emperor Guangzong ascended the throne and served as the chief of the Ministry of War. Liu Guojin, the chief of the Ministry of War, began to slander Xiong Tingbi because of personal grudges.

Afterwards, Yao and Liu encouraged a group of people to attack, and they must let Xiong Tingbi be dismissed. So, the censors Gu Qing, Feng Sanyuan, and Zhang Xiude, and Wei Yingjia, who took advantage of the fall of Puhe, attacked him on the attack.

Xiong Tingbi was helpless and sad, so he took back Shangfang's sword and submitted a memorial to resign, and Emperor Tianqi agreed to it.

Then, less than a year in the first year of Tianqi, Chenyang, the important town of Liaodong, and Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong, fell one after another. Yuan Yingtai committed suicide for fear of crime, and all east of the Liaohe River were reduced to the Later Jin Dynasty. At this time, the ministers in the court remembered Xiong Tingbi again.

Xiong Tingbi was activated again, but the Donglin Party once again pushed Wang Huazhen as governor. The rulings were disagreeable and disagreeable, and even reached the current situation.

During the period of being excluded, attacked and decentralized, Xiong Tingbi missed Emperor Wanli and the time when he was unreservedly supported and trusted by the emperor.

According to historical records, Emperor Wanli once impeached the censor and approved a very meaningful decree to Xiong Tingbi.

"The corruption of Liao is caused by local officials' fun. Xiong Tingbi is determined to revive the border and restore the territory. I rely deeply on it. Now the barbarians are in a hurry. How can they give up their previous achievements when they are relieved? They are more loyal and responsible, and work together with their ministers, so they will not be hindered by others."

Looking at this passage, I can be said to be very sincere and trustworthy.

"Don't be blocked by others" is even more heart-warming, showing Wanli's determination, let others say it, I believe in you, and continue to do it according to your ideas, and I am optimistic about you.

From this point of view, Wanli is still wise. He has some knowledge of talents and uses them without doubt. He uses Xiong Tingbi to stabilize the battle situation in Liaodong and gradually began to fight back.

Unfortunately, the emperor and ministers are one of the characteristics of all dynasties in China. When Wanli died, Xiong Tingbi's good days were over.

Since the first year of Taichang, the remarks of attacks on Xiong Tingbi have suddenly increased, "slandering Tingbi to abolish the people's strategies and be the only one who is wise." Many of the contents of the attacks are repeated in the old tune, but the key is that the emperor has changed.

So, the situation in Liaodong was broken and Xiong Tingbi had to take over the mess again.

After years of fighting with Jiannu, Xiong Tingbi knew the strength and weakness of Jiannu.

It was no longer the Wanli period. With the fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang, the plan of "building borders and building forts and defending as a battle" that he once advocated was out of place for Liao.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi proposed a three-party arrangement strategy: to use Guangning to restrain most of the enemy's troops; to build naval fleets in various ports in Tianjin, Deng and Lai, and take advantage of the opportunity to attack the enemy's rear, causing Jiannu to lose sight of one thing and fall into a passive position.

Although the court approved Xiong Tingbi's strategy, the arrangements of the three parties took time and effort and could not be achieved in the short term, which aroused attacks and opposition from officials in the court.

Wang Huazhen is an example. He never spoke up for defense and bragged the bulls all over the sky, but he was appreciated and supported by the big bosses in the court and neglected Xiong Tingbi.

Frustration, despair, and natural bad temper, Xiong Tingbi, Wang Huazhen and Zhang Heming had a deeper slight rift. This time, he led his troops out of seclusion was also a helpless move.

When he received a secret decree from the emperor in the Youtun Guard, he threatened and inspired him, and gave Shangfang swords and sent Jinyiwei to accompany him. [Youyou Reading www.uutxt.xyz] to seize the power of Wang Huazhen, and Xiong Tingbi was fully in control of Guangning.

Although the Ming army was defeated by Shaling, Xiong Tingbi also wanted to cheer up. He no longer managed with bare hands, but obtained the unity of power.

Xiong Tingbi, who is familiar with the operation process of the imperial court, also has a good understanding of the secret decree of the emperor, and is even more impressed by the emperor's decisiveness.

When they entered Guangning, they captured and killed the rebel general Sun Degong and imprisoned the governor Wang Huazhen. There were a series of rewards and punishments. The inspiring imperial edicts were issued. Even Xiong Tingbi was shocked by the emperor's Zhou fine operations, and once again refreshed Xiong Tingbi's perception.

Although the emperor was young, he was wise and decisive, and acted decisively, and had an accurate understanding of the situation of the battle and the strengths of Jiannu.

The imprisonment of Wang Huazhen and handing over all the command power to Xiong Tingbi also clearly demonstrated the emperor's tendency in the "disaster of justice".

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi, who was trapped in Guangning City, was not only not desperate and depressed, but was excited and excited because the dust fell to the ground and was reused.

As the imperial edict said: At this time, if you stick to Guangning, even if you sacrifice your life to the border, isn’t it a strange man?

What's more, the young emperor gave him as much support and help as possible, and he was very sure of defending Guangning, not to let him die.

Now, reading the secret letter from the emperor again under the lamp, Xiong Tingbi seemed to have returned to the time when Emperor Wanli spoke to him with great sincerity and trust and protection.

The emperor ordered himself to guard Guangning, but he also asked with secret letters, that is, he believed that he could complete the task and survive to express his opinions to the emperor.

The contact password further illustrates this point. It can be explained above clearly. In the future, if there are any secret memorials from Liaodong and Liaoxi, they will be written in the password and handed over to the Jinyiwei to the Shengting.

What does it mean? As soon as the Guangning war broke out, Xiong Tingbi was the real strategy, and he could secretly report to the emperor.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no secret memorial system at all. Xiong Tingbi was surprised at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he was shocked and deeply impressed by the young emperor's methods.

You should know that once a secret memorial is formed, it will greatly weaken the power of the government affairs center and strengthen the imperial power.

This is just one of them. In Xiong Tingbi's view, the secret report reaches the emperor directly, and the turnover links are reduced, and it can be processed quickly, and the efficiency is very high.

Another point, Xiong Tingbi also thought of it, but he did not dare to comment.

That is, the secret memorial system will make officials monitor each other, dare not act without power, and act recklessly, which will help control officials and purify officials.

The reason is very simple. Xiong Tingbi has the power to report secretly, but he doesn't know if others have it. Maybe the officials around him also have this power, so how can he hide what he does than the emperor?

After thinking for a long time, Xiong Tingbi took the pen and wrote on the paper: "My comment is secretly, Xiong Tingbi is careful..."

If you do not write an official title, all formulas and phrases are not used at all. You can report all major and minor matters and must be completely kept confidential and not leaked. This is also Zhu You's strict requirement for proofreading the secret comments of his ministers.
