Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

After Xiong Tingbi and Zhou Yongchun listened to it, their hearts were surging and they couldn't contain their excitement.

Xiong Tingbi murmured to himself: "The new lord! The new lord has put the important affairs of the court in his head."

Zhou Yongchun was excited but sad, he quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said sadly: "Brother Feibai, it's a pity that I can't stand side by side with you and help you take back Liaotu."

Xiong Tingbi stretched out his big hand to hold Zhou Yongchun's arm. His bony knuckles and blue veins protruding from the back of his hand made it hard to believe that he was a civil servant, and that the four of them were actually only five or six years apart.

"Meng Tai, my condolences. Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times. If the new emperor approves you to return to your hometown to guard the system, I also hope that you will go back early. In wartime, generals only have a hundred days of filial piety."

Zhou Yongchun shook his head sadly, he wanted to go back to his hometown to be a filial piety for his mother, but also wanted to stay in Liaodong to be a solid support for Xiong Tingbi.But he understands that he is a governor and a civil servant, and even if he is also the deputy economic strategist of Liaodong, he is still a civil servant.

Yang Lian and Zhou Yongchun have worked together in the Sixth Division for ten years. Although they are not close friends, they are also colleagues.He persuaded Zhou Yongchun.

"Brother Mengtai, if the emperor considers the stability of Liaodong and needs you to stay on as the governor, you will be loyal to the country and there is nothing wrong with filial piety. My aunt who wants to die in the future will understand you."

Zhou Yongchun looked at Yang Lian, "Wenru, you are the Minister of Gu Ming, I know you see the new emperor more often. Are you saying that the emperor will seize love?"

Seeing Zhou Yongchun's complicated emotions, Yang Lian continued to comfort him.

"Brother Feibai is right. The land of Liaodong is inseparable from the cooperation of the two of you. If you win the love, it is very possible." After Yang Lian finished speaking, seeing Zhou Yongchun's expression was unhappy, he could only give him a hand. Take a hard hit.

"Although filial piety is the first thing to do, the new emperor is tired of state affairs, so he can't stand in front of the late emperor's spirit for a day and wholeheartedly guard the spirit of the late emperor."

Hearing what Yang Lian said, Zhou Yongchun said embarrassingly, "I'm narrow-minded. Thank you Wenru for your persuasion. My mother has the imperial order. If I can't return to my hometown to keep the order, she will understand that I have to be loyal to the country."

While everyone was talking, the clerk under Xiong Tingbi came in to report that the items sent by the emperor had been collected.Ask Xiong Tingbi about the dinner arrangement.All the generals were waiting to share the fine wine bestowed on him by the emperor.

Xiong Tingbi waved his hand, "Let's drink together in the evening, I have to put away the wine. Today, everyone only has one bowl to taste. When will the lost land in Liaodong be regained, and when will we drink it to our heart's content?"

The clerk originally thought that Xiong Tingbi could produce at most one or two jars of imperial wine, but one bowl for this person was not enough for three jars.Therefore, he happily responded with "obedience" and resigned excitedly.

Xiong Tingbi turned his head and said to Yang and Zuo, "If you are not in a hurry to return to Beijing, you can stay in Shenyang for a few more days and go to Fushun with the army to give Jiannu a good look."

Zhou Yongchun smiled and said, "Brother Feibai, don't lie to the Confucianism. Going to Fushun is easy, but the emperor wants us to keep the existing land of Liaodong."

Xiong Tingbi shook his head, "It's important to guard the soil. Last year, the old man came on the defensive, which was a helpless move. The purpose of this year's hard work and hard work is to hit back the retracted fist."

The more he talked, the more excited he got, he stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the barracks to have a look."

Zhou Yongchun stopped him, "Written Confucians and Confucians travel long distances, and they always have to rest for two days before going to the military camp."

Xiong Tingbi said nonchalantly, "The two of them won't be so delicate. We'll have lunch at the barracks at noon and drink together at night."

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou smiled at Zhou Yongchun, thanking him for his kindness, and followed Xiong Tingbi to the barracks.

Xiong Tingbi was probably happy with the unicorn suit bestowed by the emperor, or maybe Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou caught his eye.He took Yang, Zuo, and Qianhu, the imperial guard who came with him, to see the soldiers who had been trained by him for a year, the prepared ordnance, and so on.Watch and explain to them.

"I have now recruited 15 soldiers (actually 13). At present, there are more than 3 in Shenyang, and more than [-] in every gathering. After I defeat Fushun, I will fight in Kuiyang, Qinghe, Fushun, In these places between the three forks of the Chai River, [-] people were sent to each road to form a war zone capable of attacking and defending, and the various roads could support each other. Then each road organized horse troops to eliminate Jiannu and Mongols who came to disturb the border The sporadic teams in the Grass Valley. Waiting for the busy season of farming next year, all groups will rush forward like waves, interfering with the spring plowing of Jiannu, and making them fall into the predicament of no harvest in autumn. By this time next year, four groups will be able to work at the same time. , or three-way containment and one-way conquest, regaining the lost land in one fell swoop, bringing Liaodong back to when I was the governor ten years ago."

Yang Lian praised, "Brother Fei Bai, if His Majesty learns that you have such a plan, he will definitely appreciate it."

Zuo Guangdou also praised Xiong Tingbi, "Brother Feibai, if you have been in Liaodong, where would you need medicine for last year's Saarhu battle?"

Zuo Guangdou's words scratched the most itchy place in Xiong Tingbi's heart.

He snorted coldly, "Hmph! Those who eat vegetarian food and are used to picking bones from the chicken, usually talk about their ability, but once they have a little power, they shamelessly ask for bribes. I won't hide it from you two, Yao Zongwen came over last month At that time, regardless of our friendship as the censor, and regardless of the busyness of cleaning up the mess and preparing for the battle in Liaodong this year, the implication was that I was not able to work hard for his recovery. He actually came to investigate through him. The Huke in Liaodong gave me the right to imply me. Pooh!

The old man's 200 million silver is the soldier's salary, the iron arrows, rockets, chariots, and artillery used to recover the lost land in Liaodong.There is not a tael of silver that can be taken for him to put in his personal purse. "

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were horrified, no wonder Yao Zongwen rallied so many people to impeach Xiong Tingbi with all his strength, and he seemed to want to pull Xiong Tingbi off his horse, so he became angry because he couldn't ask for bribes.

Zuo Guangdou sighed: "Such a villain is actually a censor."

Yang Lian then said: "He's still involved in the science and technology affairs." The expression on his face and the meaning in his words are deeply ashamed of him as a colleague.

Satisfied with the attitude of the two, Xiong Tingbi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "During the time of Shenzong, there were still fewer people impeaching this old man? If it wasn't for the villain, this old man wouldn't have returned home for seven years."

In a flash, he lowered his voice again, "In the past seven years, Liaodong has finally added [-] to [-] lives. There are also millions of military expenses."

A hundred households of the forbidden army interjected, "If Master Jinglue has been patrolling Liaodong, Jiannu may not have a chance to grow. In the end, Liaodong still depends on Master Jinglue."

Xiong Tingbi stared at Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, "As long as the new king believes in me, any impeachment of the old man will not take it to heart."

Yang Lian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty understands Brother Fei Bai, that's why he sent the two of us to Liaodong to announce the reward."

After following Xiong Tingbi around the barracks for more than half an hour, it was time for lunch.Just like soldiers, a few people lined up to cook with a wooden bowl in each hand.The Huotoubing soldier was probably used to having dinner with the soldiers, so he smiled and asked, "Hello, my lord". Whether it is brown rice or potatoes and Chinese cabbage, it is the same as other soldiers.If there is any difference, it is that there is a little less food in Mr. Jinglue's bowl.

"I can't eat that much anymore. When I was farming in my hometown, two bowls of rice like this couldn't fill the Wu Zang Temple."

Yang Lianzhong had a very embarrassing time before, and it was a bit hard to swallow such brown rice again.He laughed at himself: "When I was not in school, I would share this bowl with Zhan's for two days."

Although Zuo Guangdou came from a farming-study heirloom family, he really didn't suffer much like Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian.He chewed the brown rice slowly, and it took him longer than Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian to finish the meal that he had asked for less.

Putting down his job, Zuo Guangdou said to Xiong Tingbi: "Brother Feibai, soldiers won't gain strength just eating these."

This also stems from his growing up experience.

There are nine Zuo Guangdou brothers, and it was inevitable that they were picky eaters when they were young.At this time, my mother always coaxes and persuades me to eat meat to grow strong.

Xiong Tingbi sighed, "I also want to feed the soldiers with meat every day to make them stronger. A lot of their military pay, brown rice, and eating meat once every five days have already depended on Mengtai's dispatch and arrangement. Well done. When next year's autumn harvest comes, the land in Liaodong will have more harvests, and there is no need for the imperial court to add more grain, so it is estimated that there will be enough energy to raise more livestock."

As a matter of fact, Yang Lian knew the material supply and allocation of the imperial court to Liaodong over the years, and also knew the situation before and after Xiong Tingbi was in Liaodong when Xiong Tingbi was on tour. Comparing the two, he admired Xiong Tingbi's ability very much, and he also admired that the young emperor was not overwhelmed by Yao Zongwen. Wisdom swayed by impeachment.

"Brother Feibai, it is a blessing for the imperial court and the people of Liaodong to have you in Ming Dynasty."

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou stayed in Liaodong for more than ten days, following Xiong Tingbi and Zhou Yongchun all day.Before leaving, after discussing with Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou joined hands to meet Zhou Yongchun, who was robbed of love by the emperor.

"Brother Meng Tai, the two of us will return to the capital tomorrow, and I have to entrust you with some things."

Yang Lian said it solemnly, and Zhou Yongchun immediately replied seriously: "Letters of Confucianism, all of you, you can just say it."

"I have been in Liaodong with Gongzhi for nearly half a month. I know that you and Brother Feibai have worked very hard. But Brother Feibai is staunch and even a little headstrong. I am very worried that he will cause unnecessary conflicts."

Zuo Guangdou added, "Wen Ru and I are also upright, and we tell the truth to Brother Meng Tai for the sake of the court and Brother Fei Bai. I hope Brother Meng Tai can give some advice."

Zhou Yongchun had already issued an official document in the imperial court, saying that he could not plan the Liaodong affairs well with Xiong Jinglue, so he knew that he was tired of Xiong Tingbi's temper.Seeing that the two were indeed thinking about the court and worrying about Xiong Tingbi, they immediately nodded in agreement.

"I will admonish brother Feibai more, or describe it later. It's just that the capital and the emperor are around, and you two will take care of Brother Feibai."

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou accepted Zhou Yongchun's entrustment.

The next day, the two imperial envoys who successfully completed the tasks assigned by the emperor reluctantly bid farewell to Xiong Tuesday and the others, and embarked on the road back to the capital.

The author has something to say: in history

After the defense of Liaoyang was consolidated, Xiong Tingbi wanted to go further.

In November of the 47th year of Wanli (1619), he put forward the strategic idea of ​​"sit down and turn into trouble" for Hachi.

That is to divide one's own army into four groups, and place them in the Sancha River of Kuiyang, Qinghe, Fushun and Chaihe respectively, with 3 people in each group.Organize mobile units from all walks of life to eliminate sporadic disturbing squads.In the busy season of farming, each side implements the tactics of overlapping and interfering with each other, so that the Houjin cannot be cultivated and is in trouble. Then the camera will either be four-way at the same time, or three-way will contain the one-way march.

In September of the first year of Taichang (1620), Xiong Tingbi had assembled 13 troops, hundreds of cannons weighing more than 42 catties, more than [-] cannons weighing [-] to [-] catties, thousands of cannons, and more than [-] chariots. Vehicles, more than [-] iron arrows and rockets, ready to lead the army to Fushun Pass in winter to show their power,

However, in this situation, Yao Zongwen spread rumors in the court and incited some people to attack Xiong Tingbi during the incident.

It was in September of the first year of Taichang, Xizong, who had not long been enthroned, handed over the impeachment memorials to the courtiers for discussion...

Result: dismiss Xiong Tingbi and listen to the survey.
