Taichang inspected Jiangnan, conducted open and secret investigations, and solved problems such as salt department tax, mining supervision tax envoy, and imperial shop income. He also took the opportunity to rectify the Jinling officialdom and cleaned up a group of corrupt officials and traitors.

Subsequently, he issued a new policy to encourage business and tried his best to create convenience for merchants.

The entire Nanzhili is in a prosperous state, and it is only a matter of time before the tax increases sharply. Just by waiting for Xu Ji to find the seeds of potatoes and sweet potatoes, he seems to be able to return to Beijing triumphantly.

It was at this time that a burst of news came from the capital.

The Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi resigned in anger because he could not bear the humiliation of Yao Zongwen, Wei Yingjia, and the censors Liu Guojin, Zhang Xiude, Feng Sanyuan and others.

Do you guys know that you have caused a big disaster?

Taichang, who was full of confidence at the beach, received the news and almost vomited blood.

He actually forgot about this!

The Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi is really a bit strategic, but this guy is extremely hot, that's just a firecracker, and he's exploded at a glance!

It is precisely because of his hot temper that he was able to suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals in Liaodong, so that everyone can work together to defend Chenyang and Liaoyang.

Once this guy leaves, no one can control those arrogant soldiers and generals!

what to do?

Will I send an order to ask Xiong Tingbi to go back?

No need to think about this.

Xiong Tingbi's firecracker temper can't persuade him to return an imperial edict. I believe that Tianqi also persuaded him when Chen Yang was surrounded in history. The result was obvious and useless!

A person with this temper can only wait until he calms down to persuade him well, otherwise he will not turn back even if you kill him.

Moreover, this is not just a question of whether Xiong Tingbi listens to advice or not.

This was the last blow launched by Donglin and Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party to unite against the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang party. Even if his imperial edict is passed back, it may not be able to reach Xiong Tingbi's hands.

Because Xiong Tingbi is a leader of the Chu Party and holds more than 100,000 troops, Donglin and the eunuchs will inevitably be unable to sleep or eat if they do not evade his military power!

At this time, Taichang didn't care about the Maritime Bureau, and couldn't wait for sweet potatoes and potatoes. Once Chenyang and Liaoyang were lost, Liaodong would be basically over, because behind these two important towns is the plain Liaodong Plain, which is no danger to defend!

He quickly sent a rush to Jinling for eight hundred miles and ordered five thousand imperial guards there to set out immediately. Then he took the accompanying imperial guards and Jinyiwei to the Suzhou Caoyun Wharf desperately.

Unfortunately, it was still late. As soon as he arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River Canal to meet with the 5,000 imperial guards from Jinling, an urgent report came from Liaodong. When Nurhaci heard that Xiong Tingbi was gone, he immediately mobilized the Eighth Route Army to besiege Fengji Fort in Liaochen Gate.

The fleet had just been marching in the canal for a day. As soon as it arrived near Yangzhou, another urgent report came from Liaodong that the border troops guarding Fengji Fort were soon defeated due to the absence of the commander-in-chief. Fengji Fort was lost and the Liaochen gate opened!

Next is Chenyang, and Yuan Yingtai, who succeeded Xiong Tingbi as the governor of Liaodong, was a weak scholar. The arrogant soldiers and generals in Liaodong didn’t even pee at all, and he didn’t know any strategies, so he couldn’t fight Nurhaci at all!

Shenyang is over, Liaoyang is over, and Liaodong will soon be defeated in all directions!

what to do?

Taichang just wanted to put on his wings and fly back to the capital, but he had no wings to put on.

Moreover, even if he rushed back to the capital at this time, Chenyang could not defend it because the capital was too far from Chenyang and Nurhaci was too close to Chenyang. When he mobilized a large army to set off from the capital, Nurhaci would probably be about to reach the western Liaoning Corridor!

He was so anxious on the boat that he was as useless as the ants on the hot pan, and the situation in Liaodong was no longer remedied.

So, what else can be saved?

By the way, the Qi family army and the Sichuan army’s white pole soldiers!

Yuan Yingtai can command only these two elite soldiers. Unfortunately, the total number of elite soldiers of these two groups is only 7,000, and they are no match for Jiannu.

Chenyang was surrounded, and Yuan Yingtai ordered the two elite troops to go to rescue. As a result, the Qi family army and the Baigan soldiers of the Sichuan army arrived at Chenyang near the Hunhe River and were lost.

Jiannu captured more than 30,000 Ming army horses in the Battle of Sarhu. At this time, Jiannu's Iron Cavalry had already begun to take shape. The Qi family army and the Sichuan army's white-rod soldiers had been discovered by Jiannu. Even if they turned around immediately, they could not escape. They could only form a formation on the spot to block the attack.

The seven thousand troops were so strong that they carried nearly ten times the Jiannu army. After a whole day and night, the Hunhe River water was killed. In the end, the Qi family army was wiped out, and the Sichuan army's white-rod soldiers were crippled. Only nearly a thousand people escaped, and Jiannu also paid the price of tens of thousands of casualties.

This is the famous bloody battle in Hunhe in history!

Why do you know you are going to die?

Taichang immediately ordered people to land, and 800 miles of urgent message, ordering the Qi family army and the Baigan soldiers of the Sichuan army to retreat to Shanhaiguan and not to go to Chenyang!

Next, no matter how anxious he was, it would be useless, because now he could command a team like the Qi family army and the Sichuan army with strict military disciplines.

Others, whether it is the Donglin, the eunuch party, the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang party, or even the generals of the Liaodong army, will not listen to him. These guys want to force him to be obedient in the opposite direction!

The problem is that he can't just like Chongzhen, regardless of whether he is stubborn or slaughter whoever is disobedient.

If he really learns from Chongzhen's actions, the world will be in chaos.

Alas, there is no way, the person who wants to die cannot be saved, so he can only wait for the bad news to come from Liaodong.

Sure enough, the fleet arrived in Huai'an, and another urgent report came from Liaodong. The Shenyang Guardian He Shixian and You Shigong fell into Jiannu's treacherous plan, and both died outside the city, and Chenyang lost!

The fleet finally arrived in Tongzhou, and there was another urgent report from Liaodong that Liaoyang was lost and the Liaodong governor Yuan Yingtai burned himself to death.

Is it useful for your self-immolation? Can you get back to Shenyang and Liaoyang?

Taichang looked at the civil and military officials who came to the dock to greet him, and shouted in anger: "You are amazing. How long have I been away from Jing? You have caused such a big disaster for me. Xiong Tingbi did a good job in Liaodong. Why do you want to get him angry? "

The emperor was a little crazy. It was normal that something big happened to him and roared wildly.

The chief assistant Ye Xianggao had no sign of panic on his face. He calmly argued: "Your Majesty, it's not our business at all. Yao Zongwen, Wei Yingjia, Liu Guojin, Zhang Xiude, Feng Sanyuan and others were all promoted by Wei Zhongxian. We don't know why they suddenly tried their best to impeach Xiong Tingbi!"

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but look up and swept it. Sure enough, Wei Zhongxian and his "children" did not come.

Wei Zhongxian, you are a pig!

Have you ever played with these infighting masters?

When others take control of the power of the court, you are still considering whether to chop off your own life roots!

Your advantage is to be a hooligan, unreasonable, and be tough!

Do you know?

You can't read a big word, you are playing with someone else, are you clamped on the head or are you kicked by a donkey?

Wei Zhongxian is a pig, but I am not a pig!

Humph, just your little thoughts are still here to fool me?

Taichang said coldly: "It's not your business? I'm impeached Xiong Tingbi, what have you done? You don't do anything, stand aside and watch the show! It's not your business?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Xianggao still argued: "Your Majesty, it's really none of our business. Wei Zhongxian coaxed the Crown Prince and held the power to criticize the red and seals. We can't control him at all!"

Do you think I am as stupid as Wei Zhongxian?

Taichang said angrily: "You can't control Wei Zhongxian or a few censors? The cabinet is all yours. Even if you can't control those censors, can't you deduct their memorials? How did Xiong Tingbi know that someone is constantly impeaching him? Also, who was the one who succeeded Xiong Tingbi as the governor of Liaodong? Ah?"

When Ye Xianggao heard this, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

The emperor seems not crazy yet!

It seems that it is not possible to put all the shit pot on Wei Zhongxian's head. We have to do it and take some small responsibility.

He thought about it and pretended to be ashamed, "The emperor forgives his crime. This is indeed the fault of Weichen. Weichen did not expect Xiong Tingbi to be so angry after receiving the news and said nothing. Weichen failed to persuade him and asked the emperor to sue him."

You're not like farting!

What is this a sin when you just don’t persuade anyone?

Alas, there is no way. Wei Zhongxian was so stupid this time that he had done all the dirty work.

Donglin stood by and watched, and did nothing, what could you do to them?

Slap the head of Donglin and then deal with them?

Alas, this won’t work!

At this moment, the entire court is under the control of Donglin. If he turns against him, Donglin will definitely fight to the death.

If you really do this, it will only cause chaos in the court. Even if the entire court is cleared, what's the use?

No one will care about anything at that time, and the Liaodong border army may be dispersed due to this, and Jiannu's big teeth will laugh out loud!

Let these guys let Wei Zhongxian, the mad dog, clean up. The most urgent task is to stabilize Liaodong first, rather than clean up all the officials in the court without caring about it.

Taichang looked up and glanced around again, then snorted coldly: "Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, you follow me on the boat."
Chapter completed!
