Halfway through, Xiong Tingbi told Gao Shixin that he asked him to take the Jinyiwei to find Li Ruzhen, and wanted him to be dismissed on the spot and replaced with a reliable person, and asked Gao Shixin to help recommend a few.

"Jinluo Xiong, you just arrived in Liaodong, it would be fine if you took Yang Hao first, you were acting under the imperial edict. But taking Li Rubai and removing Li Ruzhen from his post are probably too hasty." Gao Shixin, who was riding on the horse, was walking side by side with Xiong Tingbi, advised kindly.

"The two major culprits of Sarhu's defeat have been taken down, but Li Ruzhen, the culprit of Tieling's loss, can this Jingli watch him continue to be his general? It must be punished!" Xiong Tingbi said righteously.

"Xiong Zhengluo, the water in Liaodong is too deep. The meaning of the general is not to say that they will not be punished, but to slowly draw them." In fact, Gao Shixin knew that he said it was useless. Xiong Tingbi's temper was so bad that no one could listen to anyone's words. Moreover, Xiong Tingbi's eyes could not accommodate sand at all, so many people offended in the court.

It is precisely because of this that the root cause of Xiong Tingbi's later murder was planted.

Although Xiong Tingbi is a civil servant, he has practiced a good martial arts. He, like Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng, are both talented people who are both civil and military. It’s a pity that these talents were all cheated to death by the Ming Dynasty. Xiong Tingbi was trying to death by himself, but Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting were all cheated to death by Chongzhen. Chongzhen also packed Hong Chengchou and gave it to our Qing Dynasty.

Xiong Tingbi led his team and Gao Shixin's Jinyiwei to Shenyang without stopping.

When the guards at the gate of Shenyang City saw that it was the banner of the Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi, how could they dare to stop him? They immediately put Xiong Tingbi and a group of people into the city.

After entering the city, a large group of people entered Shenyang City and immediately rushed to Li Ruzhen's residence.

When Li Ruzhen heard that the newly appointed Liaodong magistrate had arrived, he went out excitedly to greet him. Who knew that when he saw Xiong Tingbi, he heard Xiong Tingbi roar: "Cake it!"

"Cake it!" Gao Shixin roared.

A group of Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward and subdued Li Ruzhen. Although Li Ruzhen had great martial arts skills, Jinyiwei's Tiqi suddenly attacked, and he had no chance to react, so he was put on his neck by Xiuchun Knife.

"Why did you take down Li?" Li Ruzhen shouted dissatisfied, "What crime did I commit?"

Xiong Tingbi said: "Li Junmen, I have no intention of killing you, I just removed your official position on the spot! The defeat of Tieling was defeated because of you! Are you convinced of this?"

Li Ruzhen was speechless. Tieling's defeat was indeed because of his poor rescue. When the Tieling defenders were asking for help, Li Ruzhen's army had already arrived near Tieling, but he did not dare to go forward to fight with the Later Jin army, but hid from a distance and watched Tieling fall into the hands of the Later Jin army.

After the withdrawal of the Later Jin army, Li Ruzhen brought people up and cut hundreds of heads of the Ming soldiers who fell, shaved their hair into braids, and sent them to the court for their praise.

Xiong Tingbi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, also personally participated in the inspection of the heads, and found that all the heads were fake. After analyzing the war reports sent from Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi determined that Li Ruzhen was guilty, but the court did not dare to convict him.

"The crime is recognized and let the jurisdiction deal with it!" Li Ruzhen knelt on the ground with a thunderous sound.

Xiong Tingbi said: "Although I have the Shangfang sword that was killed first and then reported, you are a first-rank military general. I will not kill you, but I have just deprived you of your official position. You should follow the Jinyiwei back to the capital to collect the crime!"

"Xie Jingluo's kindness for not killing him!" Li Ruzhen kowtowed.

Xiong Tingbi gave Li Ruzhen a face and asked him to give his own orders to let his servants tie him up and go with the Jinyiwei.

On the way back to Liaoyang, Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard and smiled: "Liaodong is much more pure now! Yang Hao, Li Rubai and Li Ruzhen are surrendered. I can show my skills in Liaodong!"

Gao Shixin still kindly reminded Xiong Tingbi: "Zheng Zhengluo, but you don't have many soldiers to control. You must be careful. Only the last general in Liaodong can truly consider you."

"Evil cannot suppress justice!" Xiong Tingbi said righteously.

Gao Shi secretly felt sad for Lao Xiong. Is it really evil that he won’t defeat the righteous? Strength is the hard truth. Everyone knows the final outcome of Lao Xiong, it’s because he offended too many people? But Lao Xiong refused to surrender to anyone. He was the Chu Party, and he and the Donglin Party dislike each other and the eunuch Party. After Guangning’s defeat, he did not know how to learn from Wang Huazhen. In a blink of an eye, he betrayed the Donglin Party and surrendered to the eunuch Party, and helped Jiu Qiansui bite people.

But those are things that happened in the future. Seeing Xiong Tingbi proudly saying "Liaodong is finally much cleaner", Gao Shixin really couldn't bear to hit him.

"Gao Baihu, I can see that you are an upright person, but you still have a fatal weakness. A bad person once had kindness to you, and you were hesitant when you attack him. Maybe you couldn't bear it. But have you ever thought about how many innocent people have been killed because of their crimes? If you can't bear to bring them to justice, more people will be harmed in the future!" Xiong Tingbi said.

Xiong Tingbi is a little unkind. Although Gao Shixin also enforces the law impartially and does things in public, people's hearts are full of flesh, especially for Li Rubai. Li Rubai also saved his brother's lives. When he took him down, he felt a little unbearable. This is also a human nature. Xiong Tingbi really doesn't give anyone any face, and it is really difficult for such a person to survive in the officialdom.

Gao Shixin replied: "Zheng Lue, I will help you clear out the worms in Liaodong, destroy all the corruption and abuse of power, and directly and indirectly help Jiannu, and truly restore the clean sky in Liaodong! But I still have to say that the Liao people govern Liao, but there are actually big loopholes. Many Liao people have more or less certain connections with Jiannu. As Jiannu is powerful, their families are gradually threatened by Jiannu, and if they have worries, they will easily become unstable. Therefore, I will feel that when the Liao people with families are moved to the pass and dispatch a group of men who are full of food and not hungry from the pass to Liaodong to fight Jiannu, the morale of the military is the most stable."

"How much manpower and material resources will be consumed to migrate Liao people into the pass? Let's talk about this matter in the future. Gaobaijia, the most urgent task now is that you have too few people. You can recruit a group of new recruits and we are preparing to repair Tieling." Xiong Tingbi said.

"No!" Gao Shixin received the order, "I will definitely do this."

However, the subsequent recruitment of soldiers in Liaodong made Gao Shixin extremely dissatisfied, because the first recruitment of soldiers was to select a group of men from the military households to join the army, but the situation of military households in Liaodong was very disappointing.

Everyone who came to apply for the job was similar to a beggar. He had a pale face and a thin skin, wrinkles on his face. He described the face as an old man without a trace of blood on his face, his clothes were dirty and torn, and he was not energetic enough. He looked similar to a group of beggars, and he was even worse than beggars.

In fact, these military households have become tenants of hereditary households and thousands of households. The lives of military households are becoming increasingly poor, and a large number of military households flee every year. However, the hereditary officers of the military office do not care about the escape of military households. The fleeing military households have run away, but their names are still in the hundreds of households and thousands of households, so as to facilitate the officers to get empty salary.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lives of these military households are not even as good as those refugees outside the capital. It is not easy to select two thousand elites from these people.

"Expand the recruitment scope and recruit soldiers from the people of Liaodong." Gao Shixin made the decision.

Recruitment notices were posted, and the military pay of one or eight cents a month attracted many people to apply for the job. However, there were many people coming, and few people who were satisfied.
