I am the carpenter king

() Looking at Xiong Tingbi with a peaceful face, Sun Chengzong couldn't imagine that this is the grumpy Liaodong economic strategist. Perhaps so many years of depression have changed his personality a lot, and he has let go of a lot of things at this time.

Smiling lightly, Sun Chengzong said lightly: "Xiong Jinglue was almost thrown into prison this time. Not only did he not complain or curse, but he seemed to have realized something. I really don't know what Xiong Jinglue has gone through. Can you tell me about it? The old man is very curious!"

"Your Excellency, you are joking. Although it is not a pleasant thing, the official is happy! What the official sees this time is hope! Daming's hope!" Xiong Tingbi's face was gratified. It was that young man, and that young man's trusting eyes.

Slightly dazed, Sun Chengzong couldn't imagine that Xiong Tingbi would have such a side, smiled, and said flatly: "Xiong Jinglue still didn't say anything! The old man didn't ask any more questions. I don't know what Xiong Jinglue thinks about the situation in Liaodong? "

Sighing softly, Xiong Tingbi smiled bitterly, and said with some dejection: "The situation in Liaodong is complicated, and many people will say that, but in the eyes of the officials, it is not complicated at all." Xiong Tingbi's eyes gradually became deep , and gradually became more severe.

"Oh, what do you say? I'm curious, old man?" Sun Chengzong heard such words for the first time, so he naturally wanted to know what happened. He just came to Liaodong, so it's better to know some inside information here.

"There are only three forces in Liaodong, the Mongols, the Houjin, and our Ming Dynasty. Although it is called the three forces, it is not the three forces. At this time, Mongolia has lost the strength of the past. Lin Danhan is like an old tiger. He His teeth fell out, his claws were bald, there is no threat, so we and Houjin are left." Xiong Tingbi's hand kept stroking the barrel, his eyes were full of emotion, as if the cannon was his child .

Although he was very curious, Sun Chengzong didn't say anything. He knew that Xiong Jinglue had something to say, and he had kept it in his heart for more than ten years.This time I want to let him speak happily. What he wants to say may be what he wants to hear.

"Even if you don't say anything about the lower officials in the later Jin Dynasty, adults can know that they are good at riding and fighting in the field. It is a typical fighting style of the Tartars. Whether it is the Huns in the Han Dynasty or the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, they are all like this. There is nothing special about the tactics, what I want to talk about is ourselves." Xiong Tingbi looked straight at Sun Chengzong at this time, his eyes were full of hope and determination.

"Xiong Jinglue said that the old man will never reveal a word!" Sun Chengzong's face suddenly became serious, and he promised to Xiong Tingbi.

Gently shaking his head, Xiong Tingbi smiled wryly and said: "My lord, this case is not closed yet, and Xiong's fate is still unknown, maybe he was beheaded, so naturally I don't care if my lord doesn't let it go. The words of these words are deeply involved, sir, do you really want to listen?" Xiong Tingbi didn't know why he wanted Sun Chengzong to say these things, he didn't even say that when he saw the young emperor.

"Xiong Jinglue said that no matter what is involved, it doesn't matter!" Sun Chengzong came to Liaodong this time, and he had no plan to go back alive.It would be great if he could recover Liaodong, but if he couldn't, he wouldn't go back to Beijing to meet Emperor Tianqi.

Nodding vigorously, Xiong Tingbi said in a slow voice: "The most complicated thing in Liaodong is ourselves. It looks peaceful and the soldiers are strong and strong, but if you really look closely, there are not many soldiers in Liaodong who can fight! My lord, give me a few words." For a simple example, there are [-] defenders in Liaoyang City. This is an army capable of fighting, and the others are not counted. After deducting false claims and empty pay, there are only [-] soldiers capable of fighting. Among the [-] soldiers who are capable of fighting, a small part of them still use the knives of four years ago, and wear the armor of three years ago. Some of them were damaged because of the war, and the soldiers only wear single clothes. How can they fight like this?" Xiong Tingbi The more he talked, the more angry he was, and he patted the barrel of the gun with his hand, but he didn't seem to feel any pain.

Sun Chengzong was stunned and remained motionless. He didn't expect Xiong Tingbi to say such words, and his heart was shocked and angry.Back then when Sun Chengzong was in Datong, although there were things like empty pay in the army, he scraped up and down, but it was far less powerful than here!The soldiers are actually armed with such equipment, but they are facing the brave and skilled Tartars. How did they fight this battle?Stretching out his hand and patted Xiong Tingbi's shoulder vigorously, Sun Chengzong said: "Xiong Jinglue, go on.

"For so many years, the soldiers' rations have never been paid in full. After so many years, the soldiers are hungry half of the time!" Xiong Tingbi said, he was even more angry here. He had seen the hungry sallow and emaciated Soldier, he also felt this matter personally.

Shaking his head slowly, Sun Chengzong also touched the cold barrel, and said in a deep voice: "Daming's annual income is 320 million taels, but His Majesty's annual salary in Liaodong is 410 million taels. Such a lot of money, The soldiers in Liaodong are still hungry, I really don’t know what to say.”

Xiong Tingbi also nodded slowly, and said with a wry smile: "Many people couldn't read it, and they wrote letters of impeachment one after another, but the memorial seemed to have disappeared into the sea, and there was no news of it! Those who submitted the memorial will soon be used by others. Such charges will be taken away, exile into the army and even beheaded. I have been in Liaodong for many years, and I have seen too many such things. Although this Liaodong is not far from the capital, it is far away from the emperor on the mountain." Although the words were casual, Xiong Tingbi His mouth was full of bitterness.

"As a courtier, there are some things that shouldn't be said, but it's just you and me here, so it's okay to talk about it. Back then, Lord Wanli didn't ask anything, and those people controlled the important affairs of the court. Naturally, no one was involved in the matter of Liaodong. I don't care. Your Majesty doesn't care, and those people don't care. As long as there is no big trouble, it's fine. Maybe they didn't think highly of these wild boar skins. It wasn't because of their indulgence, and it wouldn't be what it is today. I don't understand, this is a big net, we can't break it!" Sun Chengzong's tone was not serious, but what he said was a bit rebellious, but the old man's face did not change in the slightest.

When he was in the capital, Sun Chengzong discussed with Emperor Tianqi countless times, and Emperor Tianqi complained about his grandfather many times.Sometimes I get angry, and what I say is very ugly, Sun Chengzong is just a small house meeting a big house.

Smiling lightly, Sun Chengzong continued: "But I believe Your Majesty, I think there will be some action soon, maybe we can all see it."
