Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao did not just push the affairs of Jiubian to Xiong Tingbi. While appointing Xiong Tingbi as the admiral of Jiubian, Zhu Youxiao also appointed Xiong Tingbi to defeat Nurhaci twice and conquer Huizhou in August of the first year of Taichang. He Shixian of Shan and Fu'an Fort was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong Military Affairs and the Prime Minister of Liaodong Military Affairs. At the same time, he appointed Jingdong Battalion guerrilla Zu Dashou as Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Liaodong Town Training Guerrilla Mao Wenlong as Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong Navy!
And in the imperial edict, He Shixian was clearly ordered to resolutely follow Xiong Tingbi's existing policies, build forts and relocate people, strengthen troops and weapons, and be ready to deal with Hou Jin's attack at any time!
He also ordered Mao Wenlong to lead the Liaodong Navy to use Pi Island as an advance base to harass Hou Jin's rear, and at the same time occupy Jeju Island in North Korea as a support base for the Liaodong Navy.
Zhu Youxiao's request for Mao Wenlong is to harass Hou Jin at the minimum cost and make him uneasy. At the same time, he must flexibly cooperate with the main force to contain Hou Jin's troops!
If the original historical trajectory was followed, He Shixian would have died fighting when Hou Jin attacked Shenyang in the first year of Tianqi. But that happened only after Xiong Tingbi was dismissed from office. Now, not only has Xiong Tingbi not been dismissed from office, he has also been promoted by Zhu Youxiao to Admiral Jiubian, we have to wait and see what the fate of He Shixian will be.
However, as a veteran of Liaodong Town, He Shixian was already satisfied that he could reach this position in his life without having to be subject to the supervision of Zhongguan and civilian officials. At the same time, he also admired Xiong Tingbi very much, so he carried out Zhu Youxiao's will. Also extremely determined!
Zu Dashou and Mao Wenlong, two well-known generals in later generations, can only be regarded as rising stars now. They are naturally grateful to Zhu Youxiao for his excellence. At the same time, their foundations are still shallow, and they also have Xiong Tingbi's thighs in their hearts. Therefore, Xiong Tingbi can be said to be obedient to Xiong Tingbi's plans. This allows Xiong Tingbi to be able to control the frontline war in Liaodong like an arm and a finger even though he is in Datong!
In addition, Zhu Youxiao directly promoted Cao Wenzhao, one of Xiong Tingbi's generals, to the general of Datong, which made Xiong Tingbi feel even more considerate, because Cao Wenzhao showed extremely excellent military talents under Xiong Tingbi, and Cao Wenzhao However, in his thirties, his promotion to the rank of commander-in-chief was outstanding. Naturally, he was extremely grateful to Xiong Tingbi, who had praised him in the past. Xiong Tingbi was also very good at using him!
However, not everything made Xiong Tingbi satisfied. First, all the supervisory officers from Jiubian were withdrawn. Although this loosened Xiong Tingbi's hands and feet, it also made him feel more pressure. Secondly, the official documents came from the capital. Look, it seems that the little emperor today has begun to appoint Wu Xun again!
British Duke Zhang Weixian actually took up the post of Minister of War. I heard that there were people in Beijing knocking on the door because of this matter. However, this time the knocking on the queue happened suddenly and ended haphazardly. In the end, no one objected to this matter!
Not only did Zhang Weixian secure his position as Minister of the Ministry of War, but the entire Ministry of War was also separated from the Six Ministries. Although he, the left minister of the Ministry of War, looked like a civilian official, he had actually entered the ranks of military attach¨¦s, because under the clear affiliation In terms of relationship, he directly corresponds to the Ministry of War, not the cabinet!
In other words, whatever Xiong Tingbi has now must be reported to the Ministry of War, and the orders he receives are also issued from the Ministry of War. As for the civil service system headed by the cabinet, it has nothing to do with him. In this regard, he always considers himself a scholar. Xiong Tingbi still has some grudges. After all, the thought of the noble and the powerful has been deeply engraved in his heart!
So in terms of Xiong Tingbi's original intention, he was unwilling to abandon civil service and join the military. However, judging from Xiong Tingbi's current situation, he must accept this reality, because he offended many people during his tenure as governor of Jiliao. He was also impeached by many people, which shows that someone among the civil servants is already trying to deal with him!
At the same time, Xiong Tingbi also heard from some channels that the reason why the Kouque incident ended so hastily had something to do with his impeachment. Those who impeached him were also detained for questioning. These few things combined have made him It is difficult for Xiong Tingbi to mix among civil servants.
"What's more, the little emperor gave him a head start and promoted him greatly. If he, Xiong Tingbi, doesn't know what to do and insists on becoming a civil servant, he may not end well in the future!
Therefore, Xiong Tingbi accepted the order very simply, explained the affairs of Liaodong to He Shixian and Mao Wenlong, and also ordered the other nine towns to send deputy generals to Datong to discuss matters. Only then did he bring the newly released Datong generals Cao Wenzhao and deputy generals of Liaodong town. Zu Dashou, traveled day and night to Datong to take office!
Because the civil and military families have now been separated, Xiong Tingbi only paid a courtesy visit to the king in Datong as per the rules, and then directly changed the original General Military Mansion into the Jiubian Admiral Yamen. Cao Wenzhao, the new Datong General Military Officer, had no objections to this!
As for other civil servants in Datong, because they areThere is no longer any affiliation between them, and Xiong Tingbi has not even met him at all. Although this has made the civil servants in Datong quite complain, but the current situation is like this, they are happy to ignore military matters and save themselves from defeat in the future. , they will also follow suit!
After Xiong Tingbi took office as the Admiral of Jiubian, official documents from the Ministry of War were sent one after another. Among them, regarding the matter of asking him, the Admiral of Jiubian, to preside over the mutual trade with the grassland to supplement military resources, Xiong Tingbi felt the weakness of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he also felt Come to the eclecticism of today¡¯s little emperor!
To this end, Xiong Tingbi made a detailed plan for the mutual trading of nine towns. During this period, the deputy general soldiers sent by each town also arrived in Datong one after another.
However, because the nine towns are thousands of miles apart from Yalu Jiangxi to Jiayuguan in the east, it is not a simple matter to gather the deputy general soldiers of the nine towns under the existing conditions. The deputy general soldiers of the farthest town of Gansu, even if they travel day and night, It would take about twenty days to get from Zhangye, the headquarters of the Gansu Town General Army Corps, to Datong.
But before the deputy generals of the nine towns arrived, three hundred military policemen composed of Han soldiers came to the capital. Looking at these three hundred military policemen wearing blue cotton armor, carrying sabers and fire guns, Xiong Tingbi felt like a lump in his throat, because He thought it was because the emperor didn't trust him, so he sent someone to look at him!
Originally, Xiong Tingbi wanted to get some information from these military policemen to see what the current little emperor's plans were, but the military police guard who led the team did not give him any information at all. This person just came to Xiong Tingbi to report his arrival. , and then asked for a camp, and stationed themselves there with three hundred military police!
What's more, what makes Xiong Tingbi puzzled is that after these military police settled down, they didn't leave the camp at all. They just kept practicing every day, neither coming to look at him nor paying attention to the border troops in Datong, as if they came to Datong just as decorations. Same!
However, Xiong Tingbi was still very interested in the training of these military police. In his opinion, these three hundred people could be called elite soldiers. However, after the new Datong Commander-in-Chief, Cao Wenzhao, watched the training of those military police, he told Xiong Tingbi very solemnly, These military police are the best among the best. Cao Wenzhao even believed that as long as the Ming Dynasty had 50,000 such elite soldiers, neither Mongolia nor the Eastern Han Dynasty would be an opponent!
Xiong Tingbi was well aware of Cao Wenzhao's ability, and was quite shocked by his evaluation of the military police. Unfortunately, he only saw three hundred of these elite soldiers, and they came to monitor him, so Xiong Tingbi had no regard for this military police. Taking it to heart, I really hope they will remain silent like this!
"It's a pity that this silence was broken on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, when all the deputy generals of the nine towns arrived, and Xiong Tingbi couldn't wait to gather the generals to prepare for the first nine-sided military conference in history!
The military police guard named Han Siwen went directly to the Admiral's Yamen. After paying homage to Xiong Tingbi, he stood up straight and attacked Xiong Tingbi! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
