Wei Zhongxian asked Yuan Dahai to investigate Wang Wenyan, but Yuan Dahai took Qian En and the others to find Xiong Tingbi overnight. He also firmly believed that as long as he found Xiong Tingbi, he could use him as a breakthrough to push Wang Wenyan upside down.

Wang Wenyan is known as the world's number one commoner and Donglin think tank. Yuan Dahai knows this, and Xiong Tingbi, who is rumored to be named nine sides, is also well-known. Logically speaking, these two people are a smart figure in the Donglin Party, while the other is a member of the Chu Party. They are incompatible. Why do you need to start with Xiong Tingbi when you investigate Wang Wenyan's illegal affairs?

Yuan Dahai was very confident in this regard, because if his memory was not wrong, he would be sure that later historical materials recorded such a thing - Xiong Tingbi was sentenced to a prison for being judged and Wang Huazhen together. In order to be released from prison, he asked people to find connections everywhere and wanted to get himself out. In the end, he found a person, and this person promised him that he could rescue him, and this person was Wang Wenyan.

Wang Wenyan himself did not have this ability. It was actually their Donglin Party who brought Xiong Tingbi to the imperial prison. So he hoped that Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing would let go and release Xiong Tingbi, but he didn't expect much. Therefore, Wang Wenyan decided to find another person to help, and asked someone to find Wei Zhongxian and ask Wei Zhongxian to come forward to release Xiong Tingbi.

Wei Zhongxian didn't know that it was Wang Wenyan from the Donglin Party who invited him to do his job, and he also cherished Xiong Tingbi's talent. He couldn't bear to be executed, so he offered a price of 20,000 taels, meaning that as long as Xiong Tingbi took out 20,000 taels of silver, he could be released from prison and then served the court. However, the matter was not done in the end. This was not because Wei Zhongxian did not have the ability, but because Xiong Tingbi couldn't afford 40,000 taels (Wang Wenyan doubled the price of Wei Zhongxian. It is said that the Xiong family gathered together and raised 20,000 taels of silver, but Wang Wenyan had to eat another 20,000 taels out of thin air, so the Xiong family naturally couldn't afford it.)

What Yuan Dahai has to do now is to find Xiong Tingbi. Specifically, it is to find Xiong Tingbi's family, and then get evidence of Wang Wenyan's involvement in this matter from them. Then, the matter is simple: What do Wang Wenyan wants to do if he blackmailed the Xiong family so much money? Why did his servant dare to let the prisoner of the imperial prison? Is this matter related to Zhao Nanxing and the others? He spoke for 40,000 taels, and his heart was in a dark mind. Besides this, what illegal things did you do, and how many bribes did you accept? You can't swallow so much money by yourself, who else did you give to?...

Reasoning, there is no point in getting a crime to add. Regardless of whether Wang Wenyan was angry with other members of the Donglin Party when doing this, as long as he handled it and participated in it, it would be a crime. As for the others, it was not important.

There are too many ways to connect the unrelated matters, not to mention that Wang Wenyan is indeed too unclear. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most greedy person in the capital. He relies on his own methods to make trouble in the capital, enrich his personal pockets, and collect cash.

The Donglin Party was prospered by this person, but it was also perished by this person! As a Dongchang man, Yuan Dahai believed that he could do this without any loss. He asked the Donglin Party to be mute and take over the mess of Wang Wenyan.

In fact, Xiong Tingbi's experience is actually quite embarrassing. He has made great contributions to border affairs, but he also has great mistakes. He convicted him and Wang Huazhen and sent him to the imperial prison. He did not wrongly accuse him, because he did a stupid thing that countless descendants regretted, that is, he withdrew hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong and abandoned all the important military centers and strongholds of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. It can be said that the hard work spent in Liaodong after two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty was handed over by him overnight. Compared to Zhang Xueliang, who entered the pass without a single shot, the two are really incomparable.

Xiong Tingbi is not wronged. He deserves to die. He must be responsible for his stupid decision!

In the 47th year of Wanli, in the Battle of Sarhu with the Later Jin army, the 120,000 troops commanded by Yang Hao were defeated. From then on, the Ming Dynasty's strength declined and he lost his advantage in Liaodong. He had to turn from attack to defense. After the war, after court discussion, Xiong Tingbi was promoted to the Right Minister of War and the Right Censor of the Ministry of War, and replaced Yang Hao as the governor of Liaodong. At this point, Xiong Tingbi began his military career in Liaodong.

At that time, Kaiyuan and Tieling fell one after another, and the soldiers and civilians of Chenyang fled one after another. After Xiong Tingbi took office, he arrested the governor Li Shanghao who was preparing to escape, and killed the fleeing general Liu Yujie and others in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Yang Hao, the Liaodong governor, was arrested by Xiong Tingbi, and was imprisoned by Xiong Tingbi. Former Liaodong general Li Rubai (son of Li Chengliang and the only general who was not annihilated in the defeat of Sarhu) was recalled to Beijing and committed suicide.

Xiong Tingbi's strategy was to focus on defense, oppose the war, and join forces with North Korea to restrain the Later Jin Dynasty. It was effective, so that the Later Jin army did not dare to advance lightly for more than a year, and Nurhaci was also in a dilemma. Xiong Tingbi defended the defense line tightly. He could not get any benefits and could no longer conquer cities and land on a large scale. He could only carry his Eight Banners to carry out semi-robbery military operations. It is said that Nurhaci was so angry that he gave Xiong Tingbi a nickname - "Xiongmanzi". Whether this nickname really exists, Yuan Dahai could not verify, unless one day he could catch the old slave and ask.

Unfortunately, just when the situation was good, Xiong Tingbi was dismissed because he was tough by nature and never suffered losses. He had a very poor relationship with his colleagues. He scolded him whenever he encountered problems. No matter who he was the Minister of War, he would scold him. Therefore, he naturally offended his immediate boss, the Donglin Party. So the Donglin Party Cabinet decided to dismiss Xiong Tingbi and sent another person to replace him. This person was also the Donglin Party, named Yuan Yingtai.

Yuan Yingtai is a good official and an outstanding water conservancy expert. It can be said that he is very outstanding among the Donglin Party, but he doesn’t know one thing, that is, fighting.

After Yuan Yingtai took office, he changed Xiong Tingbi's previous behavior and put a large number of Mongolian refugees outside the city into the city. As a result, a month later, Nurhaci led his troops to attack. The defender of Chenyang, He Shixian, fought to the death. At the critical moment, the Mongolian refugees who were recruited began to show their true colors. They destroyed the city and attacked the defenders. They cooperated with the Later Jin army inside and outside. He Shixian was killed in battle, and 70,000 troops were wiped out, and Chenyang fell.

After capturing Chenyang, Nurhaci continued to attack Liaoyang for a moment. Liaoyang is the number one city in Liaodong, taller and stronger than Chenyang City. It is surrounded by trenches and there are red cannons. Nurhaci's Eight Banners soldiers could not attack the city with their hands. However, because Yuan Yingtai underestimated the enemy and believed that he could be both civil and military, he was a piece of cake to deal with the Jurchen barbarians, so he forced the defenders to leave the city to fight with the Later Jin army. The result of the battle: The Liaoyang defenders with 30,000 people were completely wiped out by the 60,000 cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, and none survived. The fierce battle situation made people sigh!

When the Later Jin army entered the city, Yuan Yingtai fulfilled his duties as a minister of the Ming Dynasty. He was not panicked. He calmly put on his official uniform, wore a sword, faced the south, and hanged himself to death.

Yuan Yingtai died like a martyr and a loyal minister, but this was not enough to cover up his incompetence! nor could it cover up the trash of the Donglin Party members who were doing in Liaodong!

The border affairs in Liaodong were destroyed by Donglin, which began in the Wanli year and finally Chongzhi Dynasty! The historical truth cannot be tampered with!

After the fall of Liaoyang, although Liaodong was in chaos, the main force was still there. At that time, the Ming army still had more than 200,000 soldiers and more than 700,000 people. The western Liaoning Corridor was still firmly controlled by the Ming army. The situation had not yet collapsed. As long as a little rectification was made, Nurhaci still had to live a nervous life.

The Donglin Party also thought of this, so they once again activated the "evil party" Xiong Tingbi and sent him to Liaodong again. However, this time, Xiong Tingbi failed to do anything again. In the end, he and Wang Huazhen, the governor of the Donglin Party, were sent to the imperial prison. The reason was that he and Wang Huazhen were angry!

Wang Huazhen is in charge of the battle, Xiong Tingbi is in charge of the defense, and the battle is incompatible. Wang Huazhen considers himself a tough backstage and ignores Xiong Tingbi. As a result, he is defeated by himself and is arrogant. However, Xiong Tingbi simply abandoned all Liaodong for the sake of Wang Huazhen's tone, which is his own way of death!

Many people in later generations said that Wang Huazhen was an eunuch party. Yuan Dahai could prove for sure that Wang Huazhen was definitely not an eunuch party. On the contrary, he was the Donglin Party! Moreover, his teacher was Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant of the Donglin Cabinet!

How could such a person be a eunuch? You should know that in the first year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian's name was Li Jinzhong, and he had no position in the inner court. How could he call on the party and control the court and organize the "eunuch"? You should know that in the first year of Tianqi, there were all Donglin party members in the court, which was called "the whole court full of the dynasty", and Li Jinzhong's father was still thinking about how to compete with the Wei Dynasty for "food food"... Therefore, he blamed the collapse of Liaodong border affairs on the incompetence of the "eunuch party", referring to the deer as a horse, and forcing Wang Huazhen to be a "eunuch party" is really a big deal! It is even more ridiculous to say that the Chu party Xiong Tingbi was the Donglin party and that he was wronged.
