    Seeing Emperor Tianqi sitting there in a daze, this battle-hardened veteran was also a little at a loss.  Looking up at Chen Hong, who was standing behind Emperor Tianqi, Xiong Tingbi's eyes were full of questions.  Smiling softly, Chen Hong shook his head at Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi didn't know what was going on, but Chen Hong understood it very well.  Every time Emperor Tianqi showed such a look, he was thinking about something big, and this time it was probably about Liaodong.  After a while, Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Xiong Tingbi who was a little overwhelmed, and sighed softly in his heart.  Whether it's Xiong Tingbi or Wang Huazhen, they have abilities, but the main thing I'm talking about is Xiong Tingbi.  As for Wang Huazhen, he is a typical Donglin Party member.  He has great ambition but little talent. He talks nicely but does things without any rules.  Emperor Tianqi defined Xiong Tingbi as an official who was well aware of the situation in Liaodong and a general who served the country loyally.  The most important thing is that he is capable, but his abilities are mainly in combat and defense. He can be the leader of an army, but he cannot command the overall situation.  "If Xiong Tingbi is a general, he will be able to attack everything, win every battle, defend the land and bring peace to the people, and he will be a good general."  But to take an overview of the overall situation and arrange the entire Liaodong war, this person does not have the ability.  "Xiong Aiqing, tell me your thoughts! Since I came to the throne, I have been quite worried about the affairs in Liaodong. I will tell you what Aiqing has to say. Today I am talking to Aiqing. No matter what Aiqing says, I will  I don¡¯t blame him at all!" He glanced at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, and Emperor Tianqi took reassurance for him.  "Then let me tell you, I have been in Liaodong for many years, and I have a very clear understanding of the situation in Liaodong. The combat effectiveness of our army and that of Hou Jin's army are far apart. Since Sarhu, our army has lost the ability to fight Hou Jin's army.  Strength." As he spoke, Xiong Tingbi stood up, took out a map from a cabinet not far away, and hung it in the center of the lobby.  Glancing at Emperor Tianqi, Xiong Tingbi pointed to the map and said: "At this time, Liaodong can be divided into three parties. One is Houjin, which occupies a large area north of Shenyang. There are abundant water and grass here, with large areas of plains and  There are mountains and forests. It provides Hou Jin with great strategic depth, and Hou Jin's many cavalry are very fast. They can attack our defense points over long distances and find weaknesses to defeat them. " "In order to deal with Hou Jin's tactics, our army will attack.  Focusing on defense, build city defenses and fortresses along the Liaohe River to defend and block. As for the second force, they are the Tatars. Although they are Tatars, they are better said to be Mongols. At this time, the Mongols have been integrated in name.  The leader is Lin Dan Khan, who is called Danba Turtaiji in Mongolian. Although we have a good relationship with Lin Dan Khan, it is only to deal with the rise of Hou Jin. At this time, we are doing business with the Tatars in Guangning.  Xiong Tingbi glanced at Emperor Tianqi subconsciously, and saw that Emperor Tianqi's face was normal, and he breathed a sigh of relief.  In fact, the peace between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty at this time was short-lived and unstable. If it were not for the restraint of Hou Jin Dynasty Hachi, the two parties would have broken out into a war.  Before the Sarhu War in the summer of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, Mongolia under the rule of Lin Dan Khan was in a favorable position among the three pillars formed by the Later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.  Since the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, Lin Dan Khan has been attacking the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong border in successive years, demanding city rewards.  Facing the growing threat of Hou Jin, in order to avoid a two-front war and hope to use the power of Lin Dan Khan to contain Hou Jin, the Ming Dynasty agreed to use Guangning Town (now Jinzhou North Town, Liaoning Province) as a  The window for trade with Mongolia brought economic benefits to Mongolia. Therefore, in the early days of Hachi's attack on the Liaodong region, the northern border of the Ming Dynasty was at peace with Mongolia.  In return, the Ming Dynasty presented Lin Dan Khan with a thousand taels of silver every year as a token of gratitude.  The balance of power between the Hou Jin Dynasty, Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty, which won the Battle of Saarhu, has undergone a fundamental turning point.  Shortly after the Battle of Sarhu, Hachi continued to attack Tieling where the Ming Dynasty was stationed. The Ming Dynasty, which was severely weakened, had to ask Lin Dan Khan for help.  So Lin Dan Khan hurriedly sent the five inner Khalkha and Horqin tribes to lead more than 10,000 troops to aid the Ming army. When the Mongolian reinforcements arrived at Tieling, Han Haci had already captured Tieling. The Hou Jin army, which had superior numbers and high morale,  Under the attack, the Mongolian army was defeated, and several princes and generals were also captured by Houjin.  Xiong Tingbi is naturally aware of these things. Although Mongolia still has a certain strength at this time, it no longer has the strength to attack Houjin.  In addition, the strategy adopted by the Later Jin Dynasty was to divide the various Mongolian tribes, which made Lin Danhan too busy to take care of himself. After solving the Mongolian threat to himself, the leader of the Later Jin Dynasty, Hachi, couldn't wait to defeat the Ming army in Liaodong.  Seize the Liaohe Plain, which is rich in water, grass and materials.  "Now that Mongolia has too much time to take care of itself, it is difficult for them to send troops to help us, and our own strength is not enough to attack Houjin, so I think it is better to focus on defense." After Xiong Tingbi expressed his thoughts, he glanced at Tianqi  Emperor, it is a pity that this young emperor has no expression on his face.  I can¡¯t see either approval or disapproval.Standing up slowly, Emperor Tianqi came to the front of the map. Looking at the positions occupied by the three forces and the deployment of their troops, Emperor Tianqi frowned tightly.  "My dear, I wonder what I can do for Liaodong?" After a while, Emperor Tianqi smiled softly and looked at Xiong Tingbi with burning eyes.  "Your Majesty, although I have an idea, I dare not say it." Xiong Tingbi lifted up his clothes, knelt on his knees, and said loudly.  Looking at the excited Xiong Tingbi, Emperor Tianqi knew that this man was extremely depressed.  You have ambitions in your heart, but you can't put them into practice. You are always influenced by external things. This kind of depression and lack of ambition is something ordinary people cannot bear.  Emperor Tianqi also felt a little heavy. He walked slowly to Xiong Tingbi, helped him up, and said in a deep voice: "My dear, I have something to say to you today. I forgive your guilt." "Your Majesty, I feel that the great Ming Dynasty  The trouble is not in Liaodong, not in the Hou Jin Dynasty, but in the inner court! Although the Hou Jin Dynasty is strong, our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and rich resources. Didn't Taizu use these soldiers when he was driven out of the Meng Yuan Dynasty?  Yes, it's the same. Why is our Ming army suppressed by the little Hou Jin at this time? To put it bluntly, it's because of the constraints in the court! The military pay is embezzled, but the generals are constrained by many forces outside.  . The ministers formed cliques for their own interests and ignored the country and the people. If this disaster is not eliminated, our Ming Dynasty will never have peace!" Xiong Tingbi knelt down again and touched his head to the ground. This iron-clad man, this time  Sometimes he burst into tears.  Chapter 1 is here, please vote!
