I am the carpenter king

() Seeing Emperor Tianqi sitting there in a daze, this battle-tested veteran was also a little at a loss at this moment.Looking up at Chen Hong standing behind Emperor Tianqi, Xiong Tingbi's eyes were full of inquiries.

Smiling lightly, Chen Hong shook his head at Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi didn't know what was going on, but Chen Hong understood very well.Every time Emperor Tianqi showed such an expression, he was thinking about some big event, and this time it was probably about Liaodong.

After a while, Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Xiong Tingbi who was at a loss, and sighed softly in his heart.Whether it is Xiong Tingbi or Wang Huazhen, they have abilities, but the main one is Xiong Tingbi.As for Wang Huazhen, he is a typical Donglin Party member.Zhi Dacai is sparse, his words are nice, but he doesn't know how to do things.

Emperor Tianqi defined Xiong Tingbi as an official who was well aware of the situation in Liaodong and a general who loyally served the country.The most important thing is that he has ability, but his ability is 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 conquer everything, win every battle, guard the land and keep the people safe, and he will be a good general.But to have an overview of the overall situation and arrange the entire Liaodong war, this person does not have that ability.

"Xiong Aiqing, tell me what you think! Since I became the throne, I have been quite worried about the affairs of Liaodong. I will tell you what Aiqing has to say. Today I will talk to Aiqing. No matter what Aiqing says, I Don't blame it!" Looking at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, Emperor Tianqi took a reassurance for him.

"The minister said that he has been in Liaodong for many years, and he is very clear about the situation in Liaodong. The combat effectiveness of our army and Houjin's army is far apart. Since Saarhu, our army has lost the opportunity to fight Houjin. Strength." Saying that, Xiong Tingbi stood up, took out a map from a cabinet not far away, and hung it in the middle of the lobby.Glancing at Emperor Tianqi, Xiong Tingbi pointed to the map and said: "At this time, Liaodong can be divided into three forces. One is Houjin, which occupies a large area of ​​land north of Shenyang. There are abundant aquatic plants here. There are large areas of plains and There are mountains and forests. It provides a great strategic depth for Houjin, and Houjin has many cavalry, and the speed is very fast. They can attack my defense points for long distances and find weak points to attack."

"In order to deal with Houjin's tactics, our army should focus on defense. On the Liaohe River, we should build city defenses and fortresses to defend and block. As for the second force, it is the Tatars. Although they are Tatars, it is better to say they are Mongols. At this time, the Mongols have been integrated, and the nominal leader is Lin Dan Khan, who is called Danba Turtaiji in Mongolian. Although we have a good relationship with Lin Dan Khan, it is also to deal with the rising Jin. We are doing business with Tatar in Guangning." Speaking here, Xiong Tingbi subconsciously glanced at Emperor Tianqi, and seeing that Emperor Tianqi's face was normal, he let out a soft sigh.

In fact, the peace between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty at this time was short-lived and unstable. If it hadn't been restrained by the post-Golden Emperor Hachi, the two sides would have broken out in war long ago.Before the Sarhu War in the summer of the 36th year of Wanli, Mongolia under the rule of Lin Dan Khan was in a favorable position in the tripartite confrontation formed by the Later Jin and Ming dynasties.Since the 38th year of Wanli, Lin Danhan has attacked the Liaodong border of the Ming Dynasty year after year and demanded a reward from the city.Facing the growing threat of Houjin, the Ming Dynasty agreed to use Guangning Town (now North Town of Jinzhou, Liaoning) as a tie-in to the Ming Dynasty in the 38th year of Wanli in order to avoid fighting on two fronts and hoping to use Lin Dan Khan's power to contain Houjin. Mongolia's commercial window gave Mongolia economic benefits. Therefore, in the early days of Khachi's attack on the Liaodong region, the northern border of the Ming Dynasty lived in peace with Mongolia.In return, the Ming Dynasty presented Lin Danhan with a thousand taels of silver every year as a token of gratitude.

A fundamental turning point took place in the balance of power between the Later Jin Dynasty and the Mongolian and Ming dynasties after the victory of the Sarhu Battle.Not long after the Battle of Sarhu, Grandmaster Hachi continued to attack Tieling where the Ming Dynasty was stationed without stopping. The Ming Dynasty, which was greatly weakened, had to ask Lin Danhan for help at this time.So Lin Dan Khan urgently sent the five divisions of Neikalkha and the Horqin division to lead more than [-] troops to help the Ming army. Under the attack, the Mongolian army was defeated, and several princes and generals were also captured by Hou Jin.

For these things, Xiong Tingbi is naturally clear. 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 Houjin was to divide the tribes of Mongolia, which made Lin Danhan overwhelmed. After solving the threat from Mongolia to himself, Hachi, the leader of Houjin, couldn't wait to defeat the Ming army in Liaodong. Capture the Liaohe Plain, which is rich in water and grass and rich in materials.

"Now that Mongolia is too busy to take care of itself, it is difficult 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's a pity that this young emperor has no expression on his face.There is neither approval nor disapproval.

Standing up slowly, Emperor Tianqi came to the front of the map. Looking at the positions occupied by the three forces above and the deployment of troops, Emperor Tianqi frowned tightly.

"Aiqing, I don't know what you 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 down on his knees, and said loudly.

Looking at the excited Xiong Tingbi, Emperor Tianqi knew that this man was extremely depressed.There is Ling Yunzhi in my heart, but I can't display it, and I am always influenced by external things. This kind of depression and frustration is unbearable for ordinary people.

Emperor Tianqi also felt a little heavy, walked slowly to Xiong Tingbi's side, helped him up, and said in a deep voice: "Aiqing, I have something to say today, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Your Majesty, I feel that the disaster of Ming Dynasty is not in Liaodong, not in Houjin, but in the court! Although Houjin is powerful, my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and abundant resources. When the Taizu was expelled from the Mongolian Yuan, it was not used. Is it also these soldiers? Chengzu was swept away, and it is the same. Why is our Ming army suppressed by the little Houjin at this time? The minister said something disrespectful, because of the constraints of the court! The military salary was embezzled, the general Leading the army abroad is hindered by many factors. The ministers form cliques for private interests and disregard the country and the people for their own interests. This disaster will never be cured, and my Ming Dynasty will never have peace!" Xiong Tingbi knelt down again and touched his head to the ground. The tough man now burst into tears.
