    Just when the people of the Ming Dynasty were preparing to celebrate the New Year, Xiong Tingbi had arrived in Datong, the important town of Jiubian, and established the Jiubian Admiral's Office in Datong!

    Xiong Tingbi received the imperial edict on the fifth day of December. In that edict that gave him a headache, he was directly dismissed from the post of governor of Jiliao and was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of War and the admiral of Jiubian, in charge of the military affairs of Jiubian!

    It can be said that this kind of resignation has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. You must know that Jiubian is the nine military strongholds established by the Ming Dynasty on the Mongolian grassland. Its military status has always been the top priority of the Ming Dynasty.  The top priority of prevention is to concentrate the power of the nine-sided military in one person like now, but this has never happened before!

    Here I would like to tell you that the so-called Jiubian, also known as Nine Towns, are nine military towns that were successively established along the Great Wall defense line on the northern border during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty.

    When Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty, he once set up nine fortress kings to govern the defense posts in Monan. This is the so-called vassal king guarding the frontier fortress. Before the Jingnan period, Zhu Laosi was actually one of the nine fortress kings, and he  When he became emperor, he moved the capital to Beijing, also under the banner of the emperor guarding the country!

    At the same time, Zhu Laosi was really a capable emperor who dared to fight. During his reign, he conquered the grassland five times. Although he failed to completely wipe out the Northern Yuan Dynasty, when the Han army entered and exited the grassland, it was almost as if there was no one there.  Realm!

    However, after the death of Zhu Laosi, the Ming Dynasty's military power declined rapidly, especially after the Tumubao incident. The Ming Dynasty basically ended its conquest of the grassland. From then on, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides was reversed. From that time on, Monan's  The guard stations were gradually abolished or moved inland, and finally only the nine-border town remained, which was used to maintain the security of the Ming Dynasty's borders.

    The nine important towns refer to the northern border defense line that stretches thousands of miles from the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, including Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town, Yansui Town, and Ningxia Town.  Town, Guyuan Town, Gansu Town, these nine important border defense towns.

    However, the important towns of Jiubian are not static. During the Jiajing period, Changping Town and Zhenbao Town were added to the northwest of Beijing. During the Wanli Period, Shanhai Town was separated from Jizhou Town and Lintao Town was separated from Guyuan Town.

    But no matter how it changes, as the Ming Dynasty's military power is increasingly weakened, the nine-border town is still an important front for the Ming Dynasty to defend against the remnants of the Mongolian forces.

    It¡¯s just that according to the Ming Dynasty¡¯s precautions against military generals, although the Jiubian Town was dealing with the same enemy. Of course, later there was a powerful enemy like Hou Jin, but the Jiubian Town was always an independent military unit!

    In addition to the commander-in-chief of each town, those in charge of the army also have the lieutenant-general who supervises the army, and the governor of each town. Among these three, the commander-in-chief, who is supposed to be the highest military officer, is the one with the least real power!

    Under the suppression of the middle and civilian officials, the general soldier was basically reduced to a scapegoat-like figure!

    The Mongolian border commander wants to lead his troops to fight!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the middle officer's defense, the governor's command, and the commander-in-chief can at most give you a thumbs-up for bravery!

    But if we lose, then I'm sorry, it must be the commander-in-chief who refuses to listen to the threats of the middle-ranking officials, disrespects the governor's instructions, and insists on going his own way, which leads to the defeat of the army!

    The outcome will depend on how many personal soldiers are left in hand. If there are many personal soldiers left and the combat power that the general soldiers can control is not depleted, then report a small defeat and ask for an order. In this way, hello everyone.  I'm fine, just continue to live your life in peace!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out out out out of his service.

    Over time, the general soldiers in the border town also learned to be smart. Not only did they carefully raise their own soldiers and consolidate their own strength, but when the Mongols invaded the border, they would directly close the city and not leave. Anyway, the Mongols would definitely not be able to attack the city.  Let alone fight against a city, it will be over once the time comes!

    ??????????????? Wait until those Mongols have finished plundering the surrounding area, then bluff when they retreat, pretend to go out to chase, and come back with a few heads, it will be considered a credit!

    But those heads are not necessarily those of Mongols. In fact, most of them are the people of the Ming Dynasty. This is what the so-called killing of good people takes credit for!

    So you can often see a scene like this. Hundreds of Mongolians are noisy around a fortified city, but the tens of thousands of defenders in the city are locked up. When the Mongolian rangers finish looting and retreat, a group of people will rush out of the city.  The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty followed behind from a distance!

    Until the Mongols are sent out of the territory under their jurisdiction, these officers and soldiers will ride fast and loot the places where the Mongols have plundered, and then take a few people's heads, tidy them up, and report them as military exploits!

    Every time this time comesDocuments reporting victory will be sent to the capital on flying horses, and then large and small rewards will be given out.

    In other words, the elites that the Ming Dynasty spent millions of taels of silver on every year were actually a bunch of ruffians who only knew how to protect themselves and killed good people while taking credit for their merits. Such an army actually had the intention of breaking away from the control of the imperial court, but now this  At that time, the peasant uprising within the Ming Dynasty did not break out, and the external Mongol and Jurchen forces did not become stronger. These border troops were not willing to rebel, and they were at peace with the court!

    However, in the later years of Chongzhen, the frontier army, which was the most elite military force of the imperial court, became the main culprit in ruining the Ming Dynasty. As we all know, Wu Sangui introduced the Qing troops into the pass and established the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, but still  The actions of two Datong generals directly ruined the future of the Ming Dynasty!

    One of these two men was Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong. This man took the lead in escaping at the most critical moment of the later Songjin Battle, which led to the complete collapse of the Ming army, which was already weak in fighting spirit. The result was the last Ming Dynasty force outside the Pass.  The elite force was completely lost, the coach Hong Chengchou was captured, and Wang Pu was arrested and beheaded after escaping back to the pass!

    The second general of Datong, Jiang Xiang, was even more amazing. In the last years of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led his troops to attack Beijing. Originally, with Li Zicheng's military strength, it was almost impossible to overcome many obstacles and attack Beijing, but Li Zicheng himself did not expect that when his  After the army finally conquered Taiyuan, Jiang Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Datong, unexpectedly surrendered!

    Jiang Xiang's surrender not only replenished supplies for Li Zicheng, but also allowed Li Zicheng to obtain a lot of soldiers. This gave Li Zicheng the capital to capture Beijing. However, after Li Zicheng's troops were defeated by the Qing army and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army, Jiang Xiang  Xiang took the initiative to surrender to the Qing Dynasty again!

    But after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Xiang was still restless. After five years in Shunzhi, after eight months of fighting, he was finally betrayed by his men, defeated and died!

    It is not difficult to see from Wang Pu and Jiang Xiang that as the chief military officers of the nine-border town, they actually do not have much loyalty to the Ming Dynasty!

    Colonel Zhu You was aware of the situation in the important town of Jiubian, so he directly asked Xiong Tingbi to be the admiral of Jiubian, and unified the border defense that was originally divided into nine parts!

    But Zhu Youxiao never thought about the difficulty of Xiong Tingbi being the nine-border admiral. Originally, the nine border defense towns only had to manage their own, but now the border defense lines stretching thousands of miles have to be managed by Xiong Tingbi. This really gives him a lot of trouble.  A little pressure!

    When Xiong Tingbi was the governor of Jiliao, he only had to take care of the troubled areas in Liaodong. But now any flaw in the entire northern defense line is his fault. Judging from the official rules that Xiong Tingbi is familiar with, even if he is sitting now  On top of the smoking crater!

    Xiong Tingbi felt that the position of Admiral Jiubian was enough to make people envied. As long as he made a mistake in the future, the officials who impeached him would be like a crucian carp crossing the river. Whether his head could be saved by then would be open to question.  thing!
