Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 85 Liao Bureau (2)

From an overall perspective, when too much attention is paid to a certain area, it means that the problem is already serious. If the slogans are loud and loud, but there is no actual action to support them, this will undoubtedly aggravate the problem.

When Zhu Youxiao and a group of civil and military ministers discussed the Liao Dynasty in Wuying Hall, Liaodong, thousands of miles away, was in a different situation.

In November in Liaodong, the climate has turned cooler, and the days have begun to become shorter and the nights longer.

Liao Zuo, Shenyang City.

Under the howling cold wind, pedestrians on the street shrank their heads, wrapped up their warm clothes tightly, and braved the cold wind to move forward. Unlike the prosperity of the capital, Shenyang City seemed to be shrouded in a blanket of death.

The disastrous defeat in the first battle of Saerhu, the various Ming armies that went on the expedition suffered heavy casualties, which caused the Ming Dynasty to change its offensive and defensive positions in Liaodong. However, the battle had little impact on other regions. The real impact was on Liaodong itself. An idea of ​​questioning the imperial court, if the Jianlu rebellion cannot be resolved, the prestige of Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong will be reduced.

Only since the 47th year of Wanli, the situation on the left front of the Liao Dynasty has been ups and downs. Everyone knows the battle of Sarhu, the battle of Shen Liao, and the bloody battle of Hunhe. No matter how much impact the land has caused, the avalanche is not formed suddenly, it must be accumulated for a long time before it erupts.

Liaodong is a powder keg!

Liaodong Jinglue Mansion.

Inside the main hall.

The burly Xiong Tingbi, wearing a mountain armor and a long knife at his waist, walked back and forth in the hall, his frowning showed his heart.

Different from other civil servants in Ming Dynasty, Xiong Tingbi was upright by nature and liked to scold others. but very few.

"Ministry!"

The loud sound outside the hall brought the pensive Xiong Tingbi back to his senses, and he saw He Shixian wearing armor and carrying a sword, walking quickly into the main hall, and saluted with clasped fists under Xiong Tingbi's gaze.

"Have they left Shenyang City?"

Xiong Tingbi frowned slightly, looked at He Shixian and said.

"Well, left."

He Shixian nodded and said: "Following the order of the Ministry, Zhao led the disciples to lead the elite, escort Cao Huachun and his party, and rushed to Puhe to pay the salary."

"That's good."

Xiong Tingbi let out a soft cry, and relaxed his frown.

"Ministry, there will be one thing unknown at the end."

He Shixian frowned, looked at Xiong Tingbi and said, "Since the emperor personally appropriated the internal money to repay the arrears of food, why did he allocate a million taels? Why did the internal officials personally issue it? With the appearance of the internal officials, I am afraid that I will really leave Shenyang City, I don't know..."

"To shut up!"

Xiong Tingbi stared and scolded, originally wanted to scold He Shixian, but remembered that when Cao Huachun came to Shen, he represented the emperor's statement before, Xiong Tingbi suppressed his anger, frowned and said: "What do you know, the current situation in Liaozuo is up to your Majesty It is different for the soldiers guarding various places in Liaoqian to personally send internal officials to pay the arrears, even if it is not enough to clear all the arrears."

He Shixian's heartbeat quickened, seeing that Xiong Tingbi didn't scold him, but began to explain patiently, which made He Shixian's heart palpitate, but he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

For some reason, He Shixian always felt that Xiong Tingbi had changed. He was no longer as hot-tempered and easy-going as before. If he really wanted to find out when he changed, it seemed that it was after Cao Huachun and the others came to Shen.

"Stop talking about that."

Xiong Tingbi waved his hand and looked at He Shixian in a daze, "After thinking about it, the department has an errand for you to handle, so that it can be done well." "Please clarify."

He Shixian immediately cupped his fists and said.

"At the end of August, the Jian captives invaded on a large scale, causing the situation in Liaozuo to change drastically."

Xiong Tingbi said with a serious expression: "Although that battle failed to make Jianlu want to fulfill his wish, the headquarters has been thinking about this battle. Jianlu knows all about our Liaozuo very well. It is impossible for there to be no tricks in it. .”

He Shixian narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression became serious.

"You dispatch a group of Ye Bucai from your subordinates, and our department has ordered You Shigong to select a group of Ye Bucai from under your command."

Xiong Tingbi stretched out his hand and said: "These people who have not been harvested at night are all personally controlled by you. They are conducting close investigations in Shenyang and Liaoyang. Remember not to conduct investigations as a military officer. Our department wants to take a look at the land of Shenyang and Liaoyang. Is it still there?" There are so many hidden secrets.

Especially the merchants from the north, and the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, are all the targets to be focused on. As long as there is any suspicion, they will be registered and recorded. At that time, the court will uniformly recruit elites to arrest them. "

This……

He Shixian was a little surprised, why did he do these things so well.

"He Shixian, please take care of this matter for our department. Control your hot temper."

Seeing that He Shixian remained silent, Xiong Tingbi frowned and continued: "This matter is so important to the Liao Bureau, and this department will not reiterate it to you, but this department will just say, if you dare to mess up this matter, then you will be suspended." Blame the hospital for turning their faces and being ruthless, and using you to sacrifice the flag!"

"Here!"

He Shixian's heart trembled, and he immediately clasped his fists and shouted: "Please rest assured, the hospital department will definitely handle this matter in the end."

"What happened today, besides you and me, don't let a third person know."

Xiong Tingbi said worriedly: "One month, the hospital department will give you one month. After one month, it's time to clean up this Liaoshen land."

"Here."

He Shixian worshiped again.

He Shixian has been under Xiong Tingbi's command for some time, and He Shixian has long since figured out the temperament of his own department. Often this attitude means that Xiong Tingbi has important things to do.

Just like when Xiong Tingbi first went to Liaodong, facing the corrupt and chaotic situation, he showed a strong side, beheading the timid civil servants and generals, which shocked everyone in Liaodong.

Deep down in He Shixian's heart, he knew that the errand he was assigned was not easy, and if it really failed, then Xiong Tingbi would really dare to do it when he said he would sacrifice the flag to him.

Looking at the back of He Shixian leaving in a hurry, Xiong Tingbi narrowed his eyes slightly, but his heart was full of emotion, recalling the oral order Cao Huachun read that night, Xiong Tingbi frowned again.

"Your Majesty, you are right, I shouldn't be like that."

Xiong Tingbi secretly said in his heart: "The reason why Liaodong is what it is today is by no means formed just now, but because of years of accumulated malpractices. No matter how impatient I am, I want to use facts to persuade the princes in the court to make them pay more attention to Liaodong. However, after all, they never got close to Liaodi.

The policy of eliminating traitors, emigration, martial law, and military control mentioned by His Majesty will be implemented one by one according to the situation. Since the Jianlu rebellion cannot be quelled in a short period of time, then it will be implemented slowly. As long as Your Majesty trusts the minister, the minister will definitely not Live up to His Majesty. "

Xiong Tingbi clenched his dangling hands tightly. Before Cao Huachun led his troops to leave Shenyang, Xiong Tingbi had ordered a group of confidant generals to go to various places in southern Liaoning to recruit new soldiers...
