In Liaoyang City, Xiong Tingbi's mansion, Xiong Tingbi and Gao Shixin sat in the lobby.

During this period, Xiong Tingbi's mood was very complicated. The incident of Tonglu, one of the eight great masters of Shanxi merchants, has been confirmed. However, this matter was too involved. The Zhai family introduced Zhai Fa as a scapegoat, and there were big bosses in the court covering the Zhai family, so the head of the family Zhai Tang was not involved in any way.

The head of the family Zhai Tang was free from justice, which made Xiong Tingbi feel heartbroken. However, the Zhai family's business also suffered heavy losses, and the Jinyiwei made a big fuss. Some time ago, the Jinyiwei Tiqi sealed many businesses and warehouses in the Zhai family, and confiscated a large amount of goods and silver, which made Xiong Tingbi's pocket bulge.

Xiong Tingbi asked, "Gaobaihu really wants to build a city in winter?"

"In winter, ice water can be used to build a city quickly. After the ice city of the outer city is built, we will build an inner city." Gao Shixin replied.

"Okay, then we will prepare and repair Fushun Pass and Tieling first." Xiong Tingbi pointed to the map and said.

It was the slack season in early winter. Xiong Tingbi recruited a large number of auxiliary soldiers from the Liaodong military households to assist Gao Shixin in restoring Fushun Pass, and also transferred a large number of elite border troops to assist.

"Gao Guerrilla, I've been revered for a long time!" Just as Gao Shixin was urging the auxiliary soldiers to prepare nervously, a rough and bold voice came into his ears.

Gao Shixin quickly turned his head, but saw a black-faced middle-aged man walking towards him. Before the person arrived, the voice had already been heard. He had never seen the person who came before, and he didn't know who was coming. The man reported to his house: "March guerrilla Mao Wenlong had met General Gao!"

"So it's General Mao! I've heard of the famous name for a long time!" Gao Shixin was overjoyed and walked forward.

"What kind of virtue is Mao? Is it possible to be able to capture General Gao's magical eyes! Mao is just here to assist General Gao in repairing Fushun Pass." Mao Wenlong said.

Gao Shixin understood a little. Xiong Tingbi must have taken advantage of his opportunity to build the city wall to take the opportunity to break up the battalions in the army and redistribute them, break down the original organization and reorganize them. The original historical time and space were between the 47th and 48th years of Wanli, Xiong Tingbi gradually controlled the situation in Liaodong, not only curbed the old slave's harassment of Liaodong, but the Ming army also had the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Later Jin.

In addition, Xiong Tingbi also implemented a vigorous and decisive economic blockade policy, forcing Mongolian tribes to suspend trade with the Later Jin regime with both soft and hard work. In June of the first year of Taichang, Lao Nu sent out his entire army to attack Shenyang, and his vanguard was defeated twice in the field by Xiong Tingbi in three days.

Gao Shixin looked through the information in his mind, and how did Xiong Tingbi be driven out of Liaodong later, causing the situation to worsen again? That was because of the death of Emperor Wanli.

Officials in the court did not like Xiong Tingbi. This person spoke unstoppable and offended too many people. He made great efforts in Liaodong and offended many Liaodong generals. After Emperor Wanli passed away, Emperor Taichang made friends with the Donglin Party. At this time, the Donglin Party took the opportunity to come to power, and Xiong Tingbi did offend many Donglin Party members. So the Donglin Party dragged Xiong Tingbi down from Liaodong and sent Donglin Party member Yuan Yingtai to Liaodong.

Although Yuan Yingtai died in Liaodong in the end, this guy was an incompetent person who was not as good as Yang Hao. After he replaced Xiong Tingbi to Liaodong, he destroyed all the good situation that Xiong Tingbi opened. After Yuan Yingtai's death, Emperor Tianqi had to let Xiong Tingbi go to Liaodong again.

However, when Xiong Tingbi went to Liaodong again, he was incompatible with Wang Huazhen, a Donglin Party member, and the governor was incompatible. The Donglin Party members undermined Xiong Tingbi's governor's real power, and the military power was actually in the hands of Wang Huazhen. Needless to say, what happened later was known.

Thinking of Xiong Tingbi's tragedy in real history, Gao Shi said confidently: I hope Zhang Yong can help Xiong Tingbi. His little brother is not only a scientist, but also can serve as a carpenter. He is the greatest help to him and can play a decisive role at critical moments in history.

Lao Xiong has a bad temper and a stinky mouth, but he is a talent-loving person. Gao Shixin once teased his daughter, but Lao Xiong never scolded Gao Shixin. But then again, the one who teased Xiong Hu was the former owner of this body. At that time, Lao Xiong didn't know that his daughter was teased by this guy. The woman in those days must not dare to tell her family that since she beat the other party down and she didn't suffer any losses, there was no need to say it. Later, Gao Shixin met Xiong again, and Lao Xiong knew the reason. After knowing, Lao Xiong did not get angry with Gao Shixin, which seemed to be in line with Lao Xiong's bear's temper.

According to the information in my mind, Xiong Tingbi has a bad relationship with all his colleagues, and has bad relationships with the generals of Liaodong, and even has a very bad relationship with Mao Wenlong.

On the contrary, Sun Chengzong attached great importance to military generals. Of course, Sun Chengzong also had his shortcomings, that is, he was not as tactical as Xiong Tingbi, and the soldiers he trained could not compete with the Later Jin. The key problem was that Xiong Tingbi lost Liaodong. Before Sun Chengzong went to Liaodong, there was a king in the middle who served as the governor of Liaodong in Jin. After he went, he could only make the situation worse. Only when Sun Chengzong went, he could barely save a little.

Originally, Xiong Tingbi's death in time and space actually had his own problems. Wang Huazhen was defeated and the traitor Sun Degong was rebelled in Guangning. If Xiong Tingbi went to save Guangning at that time, Guangning would not have fallen into the hands of Hou Jin. However, Xiong Tingbi was joking about Wang Huazhen and did not go to rescue Guangning, but he gave up all Liaodong. He could not blame others for this matter.

Therefore, the situation in Liaodong is completely ruined by party struggles.

Fortunately, Zhang Yong, who is far away in the capital, has already begun to say good things about Xiong Tingbi in front of the future Jiu Qiansui and the carpenter emperor, hoping that the situation in the future can be controlled.

If Gao Shixin still had fantasies about the Donglin Party, then Zhang Yong could be said to have a deep hatred of the Donglin Party.

Zhang Yong, who was far away in the capital, was chatting with the little carpenter at this time. Zhang Yong was also tired. He first told the story of Snow White and the seven dwarves to King Xin and the little princess, and then told the little carpenter about geography.

On the table was a pair of globes created by Zhang Yong and the little carpenter. Princess Le'an kept turning the globes and asked timidly: "Brother, are we really living on this ball?"

"Yes, what Zhang Xiaoban said, how could he be wrong? He never missed it!" the little carpenter replied.

"Then will the person standing below fall down?" Princess Le'an asked again, pointing to the south of the equator in the lower half of the globe.

"It won't fall, Zhang Xiaoban said that the earth we live in has gravity and can attract us to it." The little carpenter told his sister what Zhang Yong taught him.

"Zhang Xiaoban, do you think there is really a mountain of gold and silver across from us that can't be moved?" Princess Le'an asked again.

"Of course, where did our Ming Dynasty silver come from? Most of them came from the other shore! Most of the literati in Jiangnan planted mulberry trees, raised silkworms, and opened silk workshops at home. The silk produced was sold to various countries in Thailand," Zhang Yong's finger gestured at the European location, "Silk can be sold a hundred times more when it comes to various countries in Thailand than in the Ming Dynasty; and there is actually not so much silver to buy our silk, so they," Zhang Yong pointed his hand at the American continent, "Just go here to grab the silver, and the silver you stole was replaced by the silk and ceramics of our Ming Dynasty."

When talking about this, Zhang Yong added with a little vicious thought: "The silver flowing into my Ming Dynasty every year is not as huge as tens of thousands of taels, probably three to forty million taels!"

The little carpenter asked: "We in the Ming Dynasty have so much money every year, so why is the emperor still worried about money every day? Why is the imperial court still so short of money?"
