Chapter 72 The Emperor and the Great Sima
After receiving a letter from the Minister of War Zhang Heming, Xiong Tingbi immediately threw Zhang Heming's letter to the table and said, "The cunning rabbit has three caves, and the Eastern Barbarians are not waiting to die. How can they be quickly wiped out? The Grand Sima only knows how to save money and food, and threaten his official with the interests of the people in the world. It is really annoying! I am not good at this strategy. If I have the ability, he will do this strategy. He will solve the Eastern Barbarians. My official wants to see how he will solve it quickly!"
Xiong Tingbi said with a glaring voice, then stood up angrily, pushed open the window, and let the cold wind blow on his face.
Seeing this, the Liaodong Censor Zhang Quan hurriedly picked up Zhang Heming's letter and said, "Why should the ministry be so angry? The Grand Sima was also out of public aspirations. If the Liao affairs were not resolved quickly, they would definitely be incurred. The imperial court now spends a lot of money just by raising the vassals, and other border towns also had to strengthen military preparations, so the imperial court also had its own difficulties."
"Why!"
Xiong Tingbi sighed and said, "But everyone who understands this is a matter of Liaodong, can this matter be resolved quickly? Even if you hit the nest, they have already withdrawn. What should I do if you return to the army and defeat you one by one? At that time, not only will the matter of Liaodong not be resolved, it will only lead to the worsening of the situation, and may even cause my Ming Dynasty to lose all the places outside the pass!"
At this time, the military prefecture Xue Guoyong said, "Ministry! The officials dared to say that if they really make plans for the people of the world, there will be no major obstacles! Instead of staying here now, it is better to do a good job in one battle. If the Liao affairs can be solved, it will be a death if they cannot be solved! Instead of spending money and food like now, if your Majesty has to increase the money and food of the world, the world will be in danger and the country will be overthrown! What's more, Your Majesty is now scouting his house and making great efforts to seek wealth from our gentry. We must prevent it in advance."
Xiong Tingbi turned around at this time, staring at Xue Guoyong with a fierce look: "Short-sighted! Do you think that if you give up the place outside the pass, the scholars and people in the pass can close their doors and live a peaceful life? The desires are unsatisfied, do you understand? Once the Liao land is all owned by his Eastern Captains, his Eastern Captains will definitely follow the Mongolians who entered the pass and robbed them. At that time, my Ming Dynasty will still have to spend more military salaries to protect the border!"
When Xue Guoyong heard Xiong Tingbi say this, he had to bow and say, "The subordinate officials are stupid! What the tribe said!"
Xiong Tingbi snorted, didn't say anything, just sat in front of the case, and began to write a letter to Zhang Heming, Minister of War, explaining his view that he believed that he would defend first and then fight.
In the days that followed, Xiong Tingbi was still depressed by Zhang Heming's letter.
Because Xiong Tingbi knew that his current approach was to violate the meaning of the entire civil servant group.
Moreover, Xiong Tingbi was also worried that there was also an emperor's meaning in it.
After all, Xiong Tingbi also knew that the treasury of the imperial court would not allow him to continue to waste time with Jiannu.
Even His Majesty himself had to consider the issue of money and food.
After a while, when Qin Liangyu and other foreign troops aided Liao arrived in Liaodong and handed Zhu Youxiao's handwriting to Xiong Tingbi for him to see, Xiong Tingbi was relieved.
"It's still your Majesty who is very clear about the current situation. I have no regrets when I have this king in this life!"
Xiong Tingbi started to say this.
But Xiong Tingbi didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor supported him so much.
However, because Zhu Youxiao asked Qin Liangyu and others to assist Liao this time, he not only gave Xiong Tingbi a handwritten order, but also allocated 300,000 taels of internal treasury to Xiong Tingbi, allowing him to make up for the Liao treasury that Xiong Tingbi had previously reported to avoid the occurrence of soldiers' mutiny.
Therefore, even though Xiong Tingbi didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor supported him so much, he also knew that His Majesty the Emperor must also know that what his strategy needed most was money and food.
Therefore, Xiong Tingbi believed that His Majesty the Emperor should have a way to raise money and food.
In Xiong Tingbi's view, he can only live up to His Majesty’s trust by seriously solving the affairs of the Dongguan in Liaodong for His Majesty.
Therefore, Xiong Tingbi immediately wrote a memorial to Zhu Youxiao, saying that he would follow the orders and act.
However, because Xiong Tingbi wanted to follow the order to eliminate conflicts between the foreign army and the local Liao army, and avoid the disputes between the civil and military forces in the military, he decided to personally invite Qin Liangyu and Chen Ce and other foreign generals to assist Liao army, and also ordered the civil and military officials of Chenyang to be invited, and also asked someone to ride a horse to Liaoyang to invite Yuan Yingtai.
The capital of Liaodong Dusi is actually Liaoyang.
But because Nurhaci attacked Chenyang last year and Xiong Tingbi personally led his troops to support Chenyang, he temporarily stopped in Shenyang.
Yuan Yingtai, as the governor of Liaodong, has always been stationed in Liaoyang.
Xue Guoyong, therefore, obtained Xiong Tingbi's consent to go to Liaoyang to invite the Liaodong Governor Yuan Yingtai.
However, after Xue Guoguan arrived in Liaoyang, he informed Yuan Yingtai of the news that Emperor Zhu Youxiao supported Xiong Tingbi to defend first and then fight in Liaoyang and Shenyang, and said: "People! The emperor blindly supports the strategy of strategy. If this continues, it will only make the world's finances increasingly tense. The following officials must let the emperor be so willful!"
Yuan Yingtai nodded and said, "It is really puzzling to understand the situation in Liaodong when the emperor is far away in the capital. As a governor, Yuan must ask! I have submitted a memorial to tell the truth to the emperor."
So Yuan Yingtai immediately went back to his study, picked up his pen, and began to write memorials to Zhu Youxiao to express his opinions.
Yuan Yingtai submitted a memorial to Zhu Youxiao, saying: "I believe that Liaodong should focus on attack, because Liaodong is now in good condition and sufficient food, and there are many Mongols who flee outside the city, so they can be organized into soldiers and horses. These Mongols became refugees because of the invasion of the Eastern Gate. Therefore, they have a grudge against the Eastern Gate. The court can completely take advantage of the Mongols' hatred for the Eastern Gate and actively join forces with the Mongols to attack the Eastern Gate.
...
After Xiong Tingbi received the handwritten order from Zhu Youxiao, the Minister of War Zhang Heming also received a reply from Xiong Tingbi in the capital.
After seeing Xiong Tingbi's reply, Zhang Heming slapped the table on the spot: "Okay, Xiong Manzi! Do you still have me, the Minister of War in your eyes?"
Civil officials of the Ming Dynasty basically ordered their subordinates by writing letters to their subordinates.
Because from a institutional perspective, all civil officials of the Ming Dynasty could submit memorials to the emperor. They did not have strict superior-level and subordinate relationships, so naturally they had no right to order anyone to do what.
But in reality, many things need to have superior and subordinate relationships, otherwise it will not be convenient for the unity of power.
For example, in the early days of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng implemented reforms by using private letters to let the governors and governors in various places act according to his will.
After all, there was nominal nominal system for the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Heming wrote a letter to Xiong Tingbi, which was equivalent to ordering Xiong Tingbi.
Xiong Tingbi rejected his order, and Zhang Heming naturally scolded Xiong Tingbi.
"This Xiong Manzi really wants to be the rebellion of my gentry all over the world. The Grand Marshal, for the late life, why not write a letter to the governor of Liaodong Yuan Yingtai and ask Yuan Yingtai to send troops to solve the situation in Liaodong!"
Xu Shilin suggested to Zhang Heming at this time.
