I am the carpenter king

() Seeing Xiong Tingbi's slumped expression, Emperor Tianqi also sighed. This courtier who devoted himself to serving the country must have suffered a lot, which is why his character is so extreme.

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but slowly recall Xiong Tingbi in real history in his heart. Xiong Tingbi had served in Liaodong three times. It can be said that these three journeys were to realize his dream.Maybe in the end, Xiong Tingbi didn't know why he died, why the emperor and country he worked for killed him, and he didn't hesitate at all.

The first time Xiong Tingbi went to Liaodong was in the 36th year of Wanli, when Xiong Tingbi visited Liaodong.At this time, the Liaodong strategist was Yang Gao. At that time, Yang Gao could be said to be in control of the military, and he was in the limelight for a while, and a small inspector himself was not in his eyes.

Under such circumstances, Xiong Tingbi, faced with Liaodong's vast land and sparse population, troublesome frontier defenses, and especially the rise of the forces of the Later Jin Dynasty, proposed the strategy of defending Liaodong "strengthening the inside and strengthening the outside" and "attacking the barbarians with barbarians". According to the grand strategy of maintaining the Liao Dynasty by repairing borders and building forts, and using defense as a battle, military settlements were implemented, seventeen granaries were built, and 30 shi of grain and grain were accumulated within three years.Built more than [-] miles of side walls, seven cities, and more than [-] piers, impeached generals and officials, and greatly improved military discipline

Xiong Tingbi stayed in Liaodong for 11 years. During these 11 years, Xiong Tingbi knew Liaodong very well.Whether it is the status quo of the Later Jin Dynasty or the status quo of the Ming Dynasty.In the past 11 years, Xiong Tingbi has been suppressed by Yang Gao. Although he has aspirations, he can't display them in the end.

In history, Xiong Tingbi served as Liaodong for the second time, after the Battle of Sarhu. There is such a record in history about this event: The 12 army commanded by Jinglue Yang Gao was defeated. Since then, the power of the Ming Dynasty has declined greatly. Losing their advantage, they had to switch from offense to defense.After the war, after the court discussion, Xiong Tingbi was promoted to be the right servant of the Ministry of war and the censor of the capital of Youqin, and Yang Gao was appointed as the Liaodong economic strategy.At that time, Kaiyuan and Tieling fell one after another, and the soldiers and civilians of Shenyang fled one after another.

After Xiong Tingbi took office, he arrested Li Shanghao, the prefect who was about to flee, and beheaded the fleeing general Liu Yujie in order to stabilize the morale of the army.Former Liaodong strategist Yang Gao was arrested by Xiong Tingbi and imprisoned in Beijing, and former Liaodong general Li Rubai committed suicide after being recalled to Beijing.During his tenure, Xiong Tingbi supervised the construction of military weapons, repaired the castle, dispatched troops to guard the key points, and helped each other to defend Dagu.He also personally toured Shenyang and Fushun to check the situation, call for displacement, and stabilize people's hearts.Xiong Tingbi's strategy is to focus on defense, oppose wave wars, and unite with North Korea to contain Houjin, which is very effective, making Houjin's army dare not advance lightly for more than a year.

Xiong Tingbi's second visit to Liaodong was very effective. Although he was not as good as Jin Ruzhi, he stabilized Liaodong after the Sarhu War.Let the originally crumbling frontier land once again become the official of Ming Dynasty.

The good times didn't last long, and Yang Yuan escorted Xiong Tingbi to Beijing. In real history, Xiong Tingbi didn't have such good luck.Xiong Tingbi was deposed by Emperor Tianqi, and Yuan Yingtai (will be introduced later) replaced Xiong Tingbi.In the next less than a year, Shenyang, the important town of Liaodong, and Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong, fell one after another. Yuan Yingtai committed suicide in fear of crime, and all the east of Liaohe River fell into the possession of Houjin.

At this time, everyone seemed to think of Xiong Tingbi, and the Donglin party members were no longer attacking this lord, it seemed that everyone thought of this capable man.Throughout the history of the late Ming Dynasty, all capable people will be attacked, and it is often these people who fight and sacrifice in times of crisis.Whether it is Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, or later Yuan Chonghuan, as well as Zu Dashou, Cao Wenzhao, etc., this seems to have become a unique thing in this era.

Perhaps these talented people blocked the way of those people, always thinking about bringing down these people, and finally the entire Ming Dynasty was ruined. I don’t know if those people regretted it.

The book returns to the text, and just like that, Xiong Tingbi took up the post of Liaodong again, and this is the third time he has taken up the post of Liaodong.But this time Xiong Tingbi met someone, and that person was Wang Huazhen.Although Wang Huazhen was courageous, he underestimated Houjin's military strength and advocated taking the initiative to attack Houjin within three months.The two were in charge of the battle, and the other was in charge of the defense, resulting in a situation of "incompatible economics and care". However, the result of the debate at the court was to support Wang Huazhen and abandon Xiong Tingbi's strategy.

Here we have to talk about Wang Huazhen's identity. Why the court supported Wang Huazhen and abandoned Xiong Tingbi actually has little to do with the strategy itself.The main reason was because of Wang Huazhen's status. At this time, Wang Huazhen's teacher was Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the cabinet.Ye Xianggao has another identity, that is, the leader of the Donglin Party in the court. Compared with Yang Lian, who has a shallow foundation, this is the leading figure in the Donglin Party.

Wang Huazhen defended Guangning with heavy troops, while Xiong Tingbi only had a few thousand soldiers.Wang Huazhen refused to listen to restraint, and planned to launch an attack by surrendering the enemy and using Li Yongfang as an internal response.Before it could be implemented, in the first month of the second year of the apocalypse (1622), the emperor Ha Chi personally led 5 horses and attacked Hexi in three ways.Cross the Liaohe River and capture Xiping Fort.Wang Huazhen dispatched the defenders of Guangning and Luyang to attack the Houjin army, and the [-] army was wiped out.At the same time, Sun Degong, a spy sent by Hou Jin to Guangning, provoked a mutiny and opened the city gate to welcome Hou Jin's army.

Wang Huazhen fled Guangning in embarrassment and met Xiong Tingbi in Youtun.Wang Huazhen cried bitterly in front of Xiong Tingbi, and Xiong Tingbi laughed at him: "How is your plan to wipe out Houjin with an army of [-] in three months, how is it going?" Then withdrew to Shanhaiguan.When Guangning fell, Xiong Tingbi did not lead his army into the city for a desperate battle, but instead retreated passively to Shanhaiguan, and then Wang Huazhen also retreated into the pass.The entire Liaodong outside of Shanhaiguan was completely occupied by the leader Ha Chi.

Here I want to talk about Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen. These two people are quite talented, but compared to Wang Huazhen, Xiong Tingbi understands the situation in Liaodong better.It is also possible to understand the gap between the army of the Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty. Wang Huazhen's self-willedness led to the defeat of this battle.

At the end of the war, Xiong Tingbi handed over the entire Liaodong to Houjin because of his anger with Wang Huazhen.Although the walls were solid and the fields cleared, the vast and fertile Liaohe Plain was handed over to Hou Jin. It was only after obtaining this piece of land that Hou Jin had the capital to compete with Daming.

Xiong Tingbi's first and second tenure in Liaodong was meritorious, but the third time he was in Liaodong was half of the merits and demerits. It should be said that he did not make any contribution.It may be that so many years of depression and depression made this wise commander make a very unwise decision.
