Xiong Tingbi returned to Beijing because he couldn't watch these people mess around.
There are three million taels to build the wall, and five million taels a year to maintain a Guan Ning army that can only passively defend. There are also maintenance costs of 80 to 1 million taels.
With so much money, is it good to build a field force? Why do you do this stupid thing?
No matter how difficult the finances are, wouldn't Liao's salary also be allocated?
Since the country's capital has been harmed, the money has been raised. How can you mess around?
Xiong Tingbi is a member of the Chu Party, but he has a close relationship with the Six Gentlemen of Donglin. There are also rumors that Xiong Tingbi wrote Yang Lian's memorial to impeach the eunuchs.
Thinking that he had something to rely on, he returned to Beijing privately and tried to change the imperial court's wrong decision on Liaodong.
But he is confused, and any personal relationship is useless when it comes to big issues of right and wrong.
The final outcome was that the imperial censors swarmed to attack Xiong Tingbi and wanted to hold him responsible for losing his master and losing his soil.
At this time, Wang Huazhen of Donglin ignored his responsibility. Wang Huazhen was a Jinshi, a proud disciple of Ye Xianggao, an important member of the Donglin Party, and a core member of the Donglin Party.
At the beginning, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, controlled all of Liaodong, and Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Jiliao, had no power at all. Xiong Tingbi made trouble with the court. The imperial court was in charge of Donglin at that time. In order to mediate the discord between governors and governors. He actually came up with a weird solution where everyone gets the same credit if they win, and everyone gets the same blame if they lose.
In other words, you two are having trouble, right? We are both guilty of losing the battle, so I will tie you two together to see if you two still make trouble.
Don't solve the actual problem, solve the person who asked the problem.
That is to say, only Xiong Tingbi will be dealt with, and Wang Huazhen will ignore Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi can't do anything, and Wang Huazhen can do whatever he wants. If something goes wrong, you have to share his responsibility. This is Donglin's face.
Mr. Sun went to the emperor and demanded the arrest of Xiong Tingbi. Now the article "Failures are equally guilty" has been brought up again. It was said that this matter was discussed at the beginning and Xiong Tingbi was to be punished.
Emperor Tianqi originally disagreed, but Mr. Sun said something.
It was these words that cost Xiong Tingbi his life.
He said that someone reported that before Liaodong failed, Xiong Tingbi told people that Liaodong should be abandoned and Shanhaiguan guarded exclusively.
Xiong Tingbi did say this, but it was to discuss the pros and cons of several strategies that could be adopted in Liaodong. But taking it out of context at this time turns out to be a premeditated plan to abandon Liaodong.
He and Wang Huazhen were equally responsible for the loss of Liaodong.
Wang Huazhen lost Liaodong and fled all the way out of Guangning. She cried to Xiong Tingbi at the Daling River and begged Xiong Tingbi to lead his army to fight back immediately.
But before, the governor Wang Huazhen had eclipsed the governor Xiong Tingbi. He didn't have many soldiers, only 5,000 men. If all the soldiers were defeated by Wang Huazhen, how could they counterattack Liaodong?
Now Wang Huazhen is scared, he is afraid of being thrown out by Dong Lin as a scapegoat. He cried with runny nose and tears, begging Xiong Tingbi to immediately send troops to counterattack and take back Liaodong to him.
Xiong Tingbi did not agree, but gave up Liaoxi and chose to move all the people and remaining troops outside the pass into the pass.
At this time, the contrast between the two created the illusion that Xiong Tingbi had already planned to abandon Liaodong. This directly angered Emperor Tianqi and put Xiong Tingbi in prison.
However, killing him requires the emperor's approval. This is a feudal official.
Who can influence the emperor? Needless to say. The person who most influenced the emperor at that time was Duke Wei. But this matter was done by Dong Lin, and it has nothing to do with Jiu Qiansui. How to drag Duke Wei into the water?
As a result, there was a person named Wang Wenyan. He came to find the eunuchs, promised 40,000 taels of gold, and begged the inner court to delay Xiong Tingbi's execution. Later, for unknown reasons, the money was not cashed.
As a result, Duke Wei was angered and thought that Xiong Tingbi was swaying him.
When Duke Wei was angry, the consequences would be very serious and he ordered to kill him as soon as possible. In this way, Mr. Sun's affairs were covered up, and the real person who killed him became Duke Wei.
Wang Wenyan is a very mysterious person and a secret figure in Donglin. He was a jailer who committed crimes and fled to the capital. When he arrived in the capital, he suddenly became famous.
He works as a secret political broker in the capital. His methods are superb, his vertical and horizontal combinations are almost as capable as those of Su Qin and Zhang Yi. He used small movements to conquer Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang
The party became two parties and brought it down. From then on, the Donglin Party became dominant.
What he does is using his body as a commoner, secretly stirring up troubles, and doing major things that cause various forces to wax and wane.
This person was often imprisoned in prison, but he was able to get out quickly. Zhaoyu is just like his family, you can come and leave whenever you want.
In the end, Wang Wenyan worked for Xiong Tingbi and bribed Duke Wei. Was it Xiong Tingbi's own intention, or was it because he didn't know about it at all and was completely harmed? I can't figure it out now.
However, after this incident, Xiong Tingbi cried bitterly in prison that I was tricked by Lao Sun.
In short, Wang Wenyan, who had a Donglin background, went to Duke Wei, first promised 40,000 taels of gold, and then broke the promise, which directly led to the immediate execution of Xiong Tingbi, who was trying to get out of prison.
This thing was done both dirty and cleverly, and in the end, the dirty water was poured on Jiu Qiansui.
Xiong Tingbi's fate shocked many people.
None of those people in Liaodong are fools. Both Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui understood.
Although this love-struck lover is very muscular, he is not lacking in brains at all.
He was originally a young hero. His father Wu Xiang was besieged by 40,000 Eight Banners cavalry. The situation was critical, so he rushed into the enemy camp with twenty servants, fought bravely, and rescued his father.
He became famous all over the world in one battle. He was only sixteen years old that year.
Every man has a heroic dream when he is young.
Wu Sangui, who was 13 years old at the time, watched Xiong Tingbi pass the first nine sides. I don’t know what kind of waves were going on in my little heart. The hero he idolized as a boy had ended up like this.
From Tan Daoji's self-destruction of the Great Wall to Yue Fei's Fengbo Pavilion. In the past, he only read the story in books, but today, he saw a replica of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes.
That day, his uncle Zu Dashou, took his hand and pointed to the head and told him.
This is Donglin's warning to those who do not cooperate.
Many times in this world, the biggest truth is survival.
Yuan Chonghuan was also in Liaodong at this time, looking at the head with split eyes in the wooden cage on the city gate. He wrote the poem "Two Brief Poems on the Crying Bear" with grief and anger.
"I remember greeting each other with a smile, personally giving instructions and talking about military affairs at night. There is no talent left in both civil and military affairs, and great achievements are a crime. The beard is so generous that it is about to move, and the blurry and hot-blooded face is like life. The pain of carrying someone is a private sacrifice, and I shed tears late at night. Crying uncontrollably."
"The Taixi bow hides the dog and cooks it. The fox is sad and the rabbit is dead. The most important thing is love. The family is so poor that it is difficult to redeem the body. Bribing the public is famous for killing. The anger of Taoism is deep in Taoist priests. The love letter is unfair to Wei Yuancheng. What is the reason for suffering such cruelty? What do you want to do? He who ascends the altar is a good general.
His last words told the truth. The reason why his teacher did not let Xiong Tingbi go was because he was too good at using troops. He blocks people's way of making money. People have reached a consensus that the main task in Liaodong is to build walls.
Wu Sangui really wanted to understand that the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were all riding horses to benefit themselves. No matter which court it is, it is not worthy of loyalty and sacrifice.
From then on, he became a man who lived purely for himself.
As long as it is good for you, no matter what you do, there will be no psychological burden at all. In this worldly world, if you become a hero or a loyal minister, this is the end. He might as well live for himself.
With such insight at a young age, a sinner was born.
He sells to everyone, from the Ming and Qing dynasties, as long as the profit is enough.
Throughout his life, he had nothing to do with his achievements. He first owed it to Zhu Ming and then to Qing Dynasty.
From then on, he started running around the battlefield, specializing in cheating teammates. Every time there is a slight disadvantage in a battle, he must run away.
Looking at other people who fought desperately, they either died in the battle, were imprisoned, were killed by female ministers, or were beheaded by the court. He escaped all the way and rose higher and higher.
Finally he killed all his loyal ministers and good generals. He became the largest military leader. At the age of 28, he became the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, with 100,000 troops.
The imperial court spent five million taels a year to raise Guan Ning's 50,000 cavalry, which became his bargaining capital with the Manchus. In the end, he lived his life like an old thief.
During the Kangxi rebellion, he ate, drank, and played all his life.
Although Chen Hongxia on the side did not speak, she stared at Su Dajun with wide eyes.
Seeing the two of them looking at me like this, Su Dajun quickly explained, "No, no! I didn't take them into the mountains! If you don't believe it, just ask Maizi and the others.
This ginseng was also discovered by Mai Zi, just outside. "
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su and Chen Hongxia turned to look at Su Maimang at the same time.
Su Maimang nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Mom, I found this ginseng outside. At that time, I found a small ginseng plant first, and the third brother was digging there, so I walked around and saw it. This one."
Su Weidang also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! That's it!"
Seeing them all say this, Mrs. Su and Chen Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Su spoke earnestly, "Although our family's life is not rich and powerful, at least we can't starve to death, but we can't go into the mountains just for money.
If you encounter a wolf, tiger, leopard, wild boar or something like that, no amount of money can buy your health back. Our family being together is more important than anything else. "
Su Maimang and the others kept nodding and promised again and again that they would not go into the mountains.
Mrs. Su stared at the ginseng for a while, "This ginseng is old and in good condition. You should be careful when digging it and keep it well. It can be used as a family heirloom in the future. Since it was discovered by Mai Zi, then keep it for Mai Zi." "
Su Maimang didn't get such a ginseng just to keep it as a family heirloom. She repeated what she said to Su Dajun before.
But Mrs. Su is obviously not as easy to fool as Su Dajun, "Maizi, we can make a lot of money from selling vegetables every day. Why do you insist on selling this ginseng? Are you short of money? What do you want to buy?"
Chen Hongxia also looked at Su Maimang with a worried look, "Maizi, tell mom, what do you need money for? How much do you need? Our family still has some money."
Although Su Dajun, father and son, did not speak, they all looked at Su Maimang, their expressions and eyes were no different from Chen Hongxia's.
No blame, no reprimand.
Just caring.
Su Maimang's heart felt warm, and he didn't hide anything anymore and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Actually, I want to contract the wasteland at the end of the village."
Everyone in the Su family was stunned and said in unison, "Contracting wasteland?"
Su Dajun cleared his throat and spoke earnestly, "Mai Zi, why are you contracting the wasteland? What do you want to plant? Our more than 20 acres of land are not enough for you to plant?"
Chen Hongxia also said, "Those lands are left uncultivated because the land is not fertile enough and the yield is not high. It is troublesome to take care of it. I don't know how many years it will take to cultivate good farmland. Why are you contracting wheat?"
Su Maimang smiled at the two of them, "When I was in the county, I heard people mention fruit corn, saying that that kind of corn is crispy, sweet, juicy, much more delicious than the corn we grow, and the price is also more expensive. It’s more expensive than fruit. I want to try it myself.
But I have never planted it before, and I don’t dare to use our fertile land, so I want to try contracting some wasteland. "
Everyone in the Su family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Su Maimang's explanation.
They were also worried that Su Maimang had been bullied or cheated, so he needed money.
Now that I know Su Maimang's plan, I feel relieved.
Su Dajun has been farming for more than 20 years, but he has never heard of fruit corn. He is a little unsure, "Mai Zi, is that fruit corn really as good as you say?"
