Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Emperor Tianqi returned to the palace, the sun had already set. The day's running around made the young emperor feel tired and he went to bed early.  There was nothing to say all night. Emperor Tianqi got up very late this morning, and today's morning meeting was ruined again.  There is really no way around human laziness. The Apocalypse Emperor seems to have become accustomed to this lazy method, and he doesn't take the morning court so seriously.  When Emperor Apocalypse was bored, the selection of concubines was proceeding according to schedule. Another thing that Emperor Apocalypse did not expect was quietly happening. If the trajectory of history was followed, this would be something that no one could accept.  The early spring in Liaodong is still cold, and there is no hint of spring at all. Every Liaodong soldier knows that this is the time when people are most likely to get sick.  "At the gate of the Ming army's camp, there was a carriage parked. It was said to be a carriage, but it was different from an ordinary carriage because it was a prison carriage.  There was a person standing inside the tall wooden cage, a middle-aged man wearing a white prison uniform with disheveled hair.  Although this man was in a very embarrassed state, his eyes were very bright, and they were breathtaking no matter who he looked at.  This person is none other than Xiong Tingbi, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple and the Supervisor of Henan Province, the current Minister of War, Xiong Tingbi, who came to Liaodong to express condolences on behalf of the emperor.  At this time, Xiong Tingbi had lost his original might and looked very embarrassed.  Speaking of Xiong Tingbi, we have to mention a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty, which is the famous Battle of Sarhu in history.  This battle took place in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Yang Hao, a famous incompetent man in history, was the manager of Liaodong.  At this time, the Ming Dynasty had an absolute advantage over the Hou Jin Dynasty, but Yang Haozhi was so talented that he sent four armies to encircle and suppress the Jianzhou Jurchens at that time.  Because of this command error, the four armies of the Ming Army were defeated one by one by General Hou Jin. When the Ming Army went out to fight, 50,000 of the 100,000 elite soldiers were annihilated.  Countless grain and supplies were lost, and the Ming army's vitality was severely damaged at this station.  After the Battle of Sarhu, Liaodong was completely lost from the north of Shenyang, and the Ming Dynasty no longer had the strength to send troops to conquer.  The person who saved Shenyang was Xiong Tingbi.  When Xiong Tingbi came to Liaodong, the Ming army had been defeated. The Eight Banners of Houjin took the opportunity to attack the city and conquer Shenyang.  After Xiong Tingbi came to Shenyang, Xiong Tingbi took office and arrested the prefect Li Shanghao who was about to escape, and killed the fugitive general Liu Yujie and others in order to stabilize the morale of the army.  Former Liaodong manager Yang Hao was arrested by Xiong Tingbi and imprisoned in Beijing. Former Liaodong commander-in-chief Li Rubai (son of Li Chengliang, the only commander-in-chief who was not wiped out in the Saarhu defeat) committed suicide after being recalled to Beijing.  Xiong Tingbi stationed troops and built cities at that time, turning the situation in Liaodong around.  Since then, Lord Xiong has been stationed in Liaodong, and the great hero of the Later Jin Dynasty, Hachi, suddenly lost his former prestige.  No matter how provocative he was, Xiong Tingbi refused to leave the city and stayed in Shenyang. ?? **Hachi suffered several losses at the hands of Xiong Tingbi. **Hachi had no way to deal with this Master Xiong, so he nicknamed him Xiong Manzi.  Xiong Tingbi is a typical military attache. He is rough-minded and generous, but he is proficient in military affairs.  This gentleman's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty was flawless, but he really couldn't stand the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. He thought that these people were just corpses and could not be used.  So Xiong Tingbi repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction, and the way he expressed it was by scolding. I have to say that this general is a very lovely person.  Not only did he scold the civil officials, he also scolded the Ministry of War, and even the supervisory censor.  One can imagine how unpopular General Xiong was in this era of civilian officials.  You must know that civilian officials were in power at this time. The Ministry of War was Xiong Tingbi's immediate superior, and the Supervisory Censor was responsible for supervising all officials.  Although these people said that they did not want to associate with this Lord Xiong, and they were too lazy to get to know him.  However, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were known to be petty, and they would naturally keep people like Xiong Tingbi in their hearts.  When Emperor Tianqi first ascended the throne, Hachi led his Eight Banners disciples to attack Shenyang, but was beaten back by Xiong Tingbi again.  But what should have happened in history did not happen, and I don¡¯t know if it was because of the arrival of Emperor Tianqi that the original trajectory of history was changed.  But at this point, things seemed to have returned to their original track, and General Xiong was unlucky.  At this time, the forces in Liaodong were intertwined, but in this place, military power was the fundamental issue.  At this time, there were 100,000 Ming troops in Liaodong, and most of the military power was in the hands of Yang Yuan, the governor of Liaodong.  Who is this Yang Yuan?  He is the uncle of Yang Hao, the former Liaodong manager we mentioned above.  How many soldiers does Xiong Tingbi have?  The answer is 10,000 people. These 10,000 people were given to Xiong Tingbi by the court from time to time. He gathered part of the Ming army's defeated troops in Sarhu, about 5,000 people.  The other five thousand people were recruited by General Xiong himself. ?It was with these ten thousand people that Xiong Tingbi stationed in Liaodong and blocked the front of Hachi.  Returning to the text, the governor of Liaodong, Yang Yuan, could be said to hate Xiong Tingbi deeply. Yang Hao was originally imprisoned by Xiong Tingbi.  Yang Yuan once begged Xiong Tingbi, hoping that he could intercede for Yang Hao and save Yang Hao's life, but Xiong Tingbi refused.  It is conceivable that Yang Yuan hated Xiong Tingbi. At this time, Xiong Tingbi was loaded into a prison car by Yang Yuan, put in a wooden cage, and prepared to be escorted to Beijing.  Just like his nephew back then, Yang Yuan believed that as long as he got him in, he would never let him out again.  Looking at the Ming army camp that was getting farther and farther away from him, Xiong Tingbi felt very complicated. Although he hated Yang Yuan, he never regretted what he had done.  However, the general had no idea about his future. He didn't know what the newly enthroned emperor was like.  If Emperor Tianqi is a wise master, then Xiong Tingbi believes that he will definitely be able to return here and show his ambitions.  If he is still like the previous emperor, then he must be in trouble.  Although Xiong Tingbi has a violent personality, he is not stupid. He knows that since Yang Yuan chooses to take action, the capital must be ready, and his only support is the newly enthroned His Majesty.  Xiong Tingbi has a clear understanding of his popularity. After arriving in the capital, he doesn¡¯t know if there will be anyone who will intercede for him.  There must be many people who would step on him.  Emperor Tianqi was walking in the palace at this time, and he was not prepared at all for what happened next. Perhaps this would be an important turning point.  Chapter 5: Five updates today and three updates tomorrow.  .  .  Please vote!  If you have tickets, give me some!
