After the first year of Tianqi, the news of Jin slaughtering Zhenjiang City was finally slowly spread to the capital.

After the difficult evidence collection and confirmation of all parties, they reported to the cabinet with formal news, and then the inner court.

The young Emperor Apocalypse felt very sad, and he summoned many ministers to meet him.

"The murder in Zhenjiang was very tragic, no less than Kaiyuan and Tieling. After I heard about it, I was sad. The people are all my innocent children. The country cannot save their lives. I feel so sad."

The Year of the Year of the Revelation was less than twenty years, and after several months of imperial career, he added a lot of confidence to his face.

Beside him, several eunuchs holding copper whisks were closest to each other, standing around the imperial seat of the platform, then the Jinyiwei Officer and stood on both sides, and then the Han generals displayed the ceremonial guards, serving as guards. Opposite to the Jinyiwei Officer were several young ministers, who were also imperial officials, serving as guards, and prepared consultants.

Of course, the latter is a complete decoration. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was already in its prime. The emperor knew that national affairs should not be asked about the nobles and military officials, but only the Hanlin scholars. Around the emperor, there were Hanlin servants to be consulted at any time. If Tianqi had received good imperial education, when he was the crown prince, there would be a complete set of military officials and Hanlin officials to teach him how to govern the country.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty also had the emperor's hearts. The way to govern the country could not rely entirely on civil officials, but was controlled by the emperor, eunuchs, civil officials, and military officials. This was the way to unity, and the power would never be left behind.

It can be said that the disaster of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was not what later generations knew. Eunuchs often acted illegally. In fact, eunuchs were just an extension of imperial power and were used to confront civil officials' politics.

Tianqi did not realize this at this time. He just hoped that from the perspective of young people, the civil servants were all virtuous people, could support themselves and manage this huge empire well.

After saying the opening remarks, Tian Qi looked at the many ministers standing in front of him with enthusiastic eyes. They included Liu Yijing, Ye Xianggao, Han Dong, and the ministers and ministers of various departments such as the army, engineering, household, and li. Today, the Emperor's Imperial Palace was not called Hanlin's lecturer, so they were only capable cabinet ministers and senior officials of the ministry, and there were no Hanlin or Taichang and other temple ministers.

As the chief assistant, Liu Yijing had no choice but to come out and report: "I have no moral code to serve my duties, so that the people were captured and slaughtered. The emperor was worried that I should be punished."

Liu Yijing said that Guan had been removed from his knees and apologized, and Tianqi said helplessly: "I am not blaming the sir and the ministers today, but Liao is really worried. I hope that the ministers can come up with practical solutions to destroy this ugly captive."

Liu Yijing could not come up with any method? His rise to power was entirely the result of the younger generation of the Donglin Party. A series of actions, including the "Snatching the Palace" change, were pushing him. In fact, Ye Xianggaogen is suitable for the prime minister, but the time has not come, so Liu Yijing barely rushed to the front desk.

After Liu Yijing, the second auxiliary was Ye Xianggao and then Han Du. Now the three people in the cabinet are all from the Donglin lineage. Only Gu Bingqian, who is going to be added to the cabinet in the near future, is not Donglin, which can barely cover up people's eyes.

In desperation, Liu Yijing said: "The minister Xiong Tingbi, who is known as a military officer, is a polite minister, Wang Huazhen, has been in the border town for a long time and is smart and capable. With these two people, the East will surely be expected."

Tianqi felt disappointed. Liu Yijing put all the blame on the border ministers. As the leader of the auxiliary ministers, what Tianqi wants to hear now is what the central auxiliary minister should say, what the overall situation is, why the Eastern Barbarians are so big, why did the Jurchen soldiers repeatedly defeat the main force of the Ming army, how to enrich the borders and effectively rectify local government and military affairs? This is the answer that Tianqi wants to hear.

After thinking about it, Tianqi said to Liu Yijing: "I am in the palace, reading documents, chanting classics, history, and records of ancestors every day, and worrying about current affairs. How can I have any spare time? As an assistant, you are relying on criticizing Chen Shan, and I am not able to catch up!"

"I... obey the order."

Liu Yijing knew that there were many dissatisfactions in the emperor's words. After all, Tianqi had not conducted systematic study, so he was a hasty emperor. Whoever he was, including his grandfather Wanli, his father Emperor Guangzong, and of course, people in the world did not expect that Guangzong had died after only more than a month of succession to the throne. Because of the throne, Guangzong had the right to go out to teach after many battles. Later generations forced themselves to join the association and thought that Guangzong was illiterate if he didn't go out to teach. This was of course a joke... Where is the palace? Even eunuchs have

How could Wanli call his biological son an illiterate person who doesn't know a word? Of course, this kind of rumor, including Emperor Apocalypse, was very poor when Emperor Guangzong was trapped in the Eastern Palace, and he had never been fully qualified to the officials of the Eastern Palace. Although the Emperor was the eldest son of the Emperor, he was not systematically taught and learned by civil servants. Due to this misunderstanding, in addition, in the middle and late period of the Apocalypse, he was indeed indulged in playing in government affairs and really liked to work as a carpenter, so later generations thought that the Apocalypse was also illiterate... Of course, this is a misunderstanding.

Tianqi was not only literate, but also very studious when he first ascended the throne. He blamed Liu Yijing for his words and showed good talent.

After hearing the emperor's words, Liu Yijing had to apologize again. Tianqi ordered him to get up and stand back to his original shift.

At this time, the emperor had to ask his soldier Huang Jiashan and said, "It seems that this is the case in Liao, how should we deal with it?"

Huang Jiashan said: "The arrangement of the three parties of the governor Xiong Tingbi was the most appropriate. Tingbi had already made the Eastern Barbarians dare not go out of office in Liaodong, but because of the party's struggle to leave, he has become a new leader. If the court can support it, the Xiong Tingbi just said that what the assistant minister said was enough to pacify the enemy's affairs, which is not a false statement. However, Tingbi repeatedly reported that he had disagreement with the governor Wang Huazhen, and there were conflicts between the arrangements of various parties. The governor and the governor were not in harmony, so the Liao affairs were of course unable to recover. Moreover, Xiong Tingbi requested the three parties to arrange the arrangements for 12 million taels of silver, but now there is no raising any funds, insufficient food and wages, insufficient equipment, and even the troops are not strong."

The Zhejiang Party and Qi Party and Chu Party were in a weak position. After Fang Congzhe took office, the cabinet was all Donglin for a while, and important ministries also used Donglin Party members, and the Donglin Party was the main one on the road of speech. For a time, the Donglin Party was in control of power. During this period, the Donglin Party members themselves talked about the "all the righteous are in full dynasty" that the Donglin Party themselves talked about.

Huang Jiashan is considered an ember of the Zhejiang Party. He also knew that he would not be in power for a long time, but just like the Apocalypse, what Huang Jiashan was most worried about was the current situation in the Liao incident.

Of course, he was attacking Donglin in his words. In Huang Jiashan's opinion, the Liao incident was ruined by the Donglin Party members.

The situation when Xiong Tingbi went to Liao was very bad, and the Liao incident improved greatly. Then the Donglin Party members drove Xiong Tingbi away and replaced Yuan Yingtai. As a result, Shenyang was lost in one battle and Liaoyang was lost. The Ming army suffered consecutive defeats. Many generals were killed in battle, and more than 100,000 soldiers were killed. The entire Liaodong and southern Liaoning were lost. As a result, the Donglin Party was reluctant to leave. After resuming Xiong Tingbi from the first year of Tianqi, the Donglin Party members introduced Wang Huazhen as the governor, and they were extremely restrained against Xiong Tingbi. The disagreement between the management and the governor was already a fact that the government and the public knew.

Tingbi's arrangement is that Guangning is the top priority. He should gather Guangning with heavy troops, and then defend the void troops along the river, and only send a few cavalry to guard against the raids of the Later Jin soldiers. Then he would attack Denglai from the sea to the southern Liaoning, and after attacking the Later Jin from southern Liaoning and Korea, such arrangements were Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Guangning, and Sancha River were one line, and Denglai was another line. To cooperate with the Korean side, defense and harassment were at the same time. In the situation where the field was difficult to defeat the main force of the Later Jin, such a grand strategy was very qualified and realistic.

As a result, Wang Huazhen opposed Xiong Tingbi's actions. He arranged heavy troops in the forts along the river, but Guangning was very empty. Xiong Tingbi was also very dissatisfied with this. He deployed heavy troops along the river. Once the war was defeated, Guangning would definitely lose. Once Guangning was lost, the Ming Dynasty might lose all the land in Hexi. At that time, there would be only Shanhaiguan alone. What's more serious is that there was no Guangning. The Mongolian tribes were all the way to face the Later Jin. The Later Jin no longer had to detour from the Liaodong side wall, but just exit from Guangning.

This consequence is too serious, and it is also the most worrying thing for knowledgeable people such as Xiong Tingbi.

If the Later Jin and Mongolia merge, the threat to the Ming Dynasty was no longer an ordinary border trouble, but a major trouble for life and death!

Emperor Tianqi supported his forehead with his hands, and he felt very helpless.

He himself also attaches great importance to Xiong Tingbi. Judging from the past of Tianqi's research on Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi is undoubtedly the most successful strategy. However, the Donglin Party has vigorously promoted Wang Huazhen. According to Wang Huazhen's own report, he has also commanded various Mongolian troops in Guangning many times and received the guarantee of Lin Danhan. Once the war begins, the 400,000 string-controlling cavalry of each unit of the Han and the Baked Flower will cooperate with the Ming army to attack the Later Jin.

If what is said is true, you can fight to pacify the Liao incident!

The young and inexperienced emperor felt both excited and vaguely felt that there were many unreliable aspects. However, the court officials were different from what happened, and he said that he did not have a definite source or channel, so he could only believe in the court officials' report and judgment.

Huang Jiashan promoted Xiong to attack the king, and of course the Donglin Party would not sit idly by. Wang Huajiao, the Minister of Revenue, was a famous honest official. He had previously served in the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing. He wrote a letter to talk about the 18 things that save the country and had many tone of compassion for farmers, so he was favored by Tianqi. Of course, because he was a member of the Donglin Party, he was transferred to Beijing as the Minister of Revenue. He had just taken office, had a good reputation and was quite responsible in speaking. He did not have a long discussion at the moment, but just stepped forward and said, "The Ministry of Revenue's support for Liao salary is nearly three million a year, which is exhausted. If you want 12 million, I can only ask the emperor to choose another wise man to take this position. I am really powerless."

Tianqi knew that Wang Huajiao was angry and always liked to save national benefits and was unwilling to increase taxes and pay. He comforted him: "You are going to retreat, and I will only talk about military affairs for the time being, not about pay."

Wang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, made a report in Jin: "The king of mine reported in Jin, and the arrangements of minister Xiong Tingbi on three sides are not good plans. Now the enemy is in a legitimate position. Although our emperor pitys the people of Liaodong, the king's army is not an enemy of the enemy in the field. I always say that only with the power to restore the Liao Dynasty can the whole country be fully peaceful, and only with the power to destroy slaves can the whole Liao Dynasty be restored. Otherwise, the battle for no profit will be unbreakable, and the situation will be unstoppable, and the supply cannot be continued. You must worry about it! Now, it is advisable to build a heavy city in Shanhaiguan to protect the Guancheng. Only 200,000 taels of gold and 50,000 troops will be prepared, so the enemy will be free of worries. Now the enemy's power is upright, but this kind of fortune is short, so you only need to strictly guard the Guancheng and wait for its defeat. Then you can alleviate the Liao Dynasty."
