Looking at the barren ground outside, with unmelted snow still remaining in some places, Xiong Tingbi knew that at this time, the Jurchens were also having a hard time, and that this attack was actually to grab things.

Of course, if we can capture Shenyang and Liaoyang, it will be enough for the Jurchens to eat, but Xiong Tingbi does not want to be the one who eats the food in the Jurchens' mouths.

In the current environment, there is no need to fortify the walls and clear the fields, because the outside of the city itself is desolate. Therefore, Xiong Tingbi decided to spend time with the Jurchens.

"Commander, the governor is here." Commander He Shixian whispered in Xiong Tingbi's ear.

Unlike the civil servants who looked down upon Xiong Tingbi, the generals and soldiers of Liaodong were very convinced of Xiong Tingbi. First of all, he was not corrupt, and he could fight and understand them.

What looked like a vulgar style to civilian officials was exactly what made Xiong Tingbi popular among military generals. Therefore, since Xiong Tingbi arrived in Liaodong, the entire military power in Liaodong has been in Xiong Tingbi's hands.

Governor Xue Guoyong didn't say anything, but he couldn't bear it, so he made trouble for Xiong Tingbi these days.

Although the two sides didn't fall out, they were almost there.

The reason why Xiong Tingbi is called domineering and unpopular among civil servants, or in other words, among the Donglin Party, is very simple.

He is from the Zhejiang Party, and Xiong Tingbi does not act according to the rules set by the Donglin Party. To put it bluntly, he does not listen to the Donglin Party.

Is that okay if you don't listen to me? You don't follow the trend... No, if you don't become a gentleman like us, then we will kill you.

So simple.

"What can we do if we come?" Xiong Tingbi raised his hand to press the sword on his waist and snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.

Xiong Tingbi looked down on Xue Guoyong for the same reason as Yuan Yingtai. He was a rhetorical member of the Donglin Party. He wrote poems when he was young and had a bright head but no scriptures. Although he wrote a thousand words, he really had no strategy in his mind.

Not long after, Xue Guoyong came up from below, and his face darkened when he saw Xiong Tingbi. The imperial court relied on civil servants to control military affairs. Although the manager was a civil official, he should have enough respect for himself as a governor, right? At least he should ask for instructions in advance. Can I report it later?

Look at Xiong Tingbi's appearance. This is a person with no superiority. What can such a person do well?

"Xiong Jinglue, the Jiannu invaders are coming. I wonder if Xiong Jinglue has a good strategy to defeat the enemy?" Xue Guoyong looked at Xiong Tingbi and asked.

Although it was a question, this tone made Xiong Tingbi very uncomfortable. Your condescending attitude made people really angry, so I punched you in the face to vent my anger.

Of course, such an idea can only be thought of for a moment, but Xiong Tingbi did not intend to show off to Xue Guo and said directly: "Nothing else, just stick to it."

Xue Guoyong looked at Xiong Tingbi, a happy look flashed across his face, but he still flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked down the city: "Then I will see how Xiong Jinglue holds on."

Xiong Tingbi looked at Xue Guoyong and couldn't help but snorted coldly, but there was still a flash of worry in his eyes.

Xue Guoyong knew it without even wanting to know it, so he must have written a memorial. The content was also very simple, that is, to impeach himself. You can guess the content. It is certain that he was arrogant and domineering. Of course, this is just the beginning.

The main direction of attack should be to fear the enemy and fight cowardly, or even to flirt with Jiannu, and maybe even be accused of collaborating with the enemy.

Xiong Tingbi has never doubted the ability of these people to criticize people with their pens. Literati do not use swords to kill people.

But Xiong Tingbi also knew that even if he was polite to Xue Guoyong, he would still impeach him unless he was willing to join their sect and become their lackey.

But who am I? I would rather die than do such a thing!

Looking towards the direction of the capital, Xiong Tingbi showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and then sighed softly, hoping that the capital would not disappoint him!

Liaodong is actively preparing for war, while the capital city is busy. The biggest thing at the moment is of course the emperor's selection of the queen, but other than that, there are not too many things worth worrying about.

But for Zhu Youxiao, his mind was not on choosing the queen.

As for the Donglin Party, the case was handed over to Yang Lian. Zhu Youxiao temporarily put it aside and was ready to see how Yang Lian would handle it.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, Yang Lian would eventually choose to submit to those in the Donglin Party, or compromise, because they were the same type of people.

In Yang Lian's view, everyone is of the same kind and can be negotiated; as for the eunuchs, that is not possible because they are class enemies.

That was the day Zhu Youxiao was waiting for.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not prepared to pay attention to Yang Lian and the others, and let them make a fuss, no matter how much the fuss was, and he would come out in the end.

"Your Majesty, I found this memorial." Chen Hong walked to Zhu Youxiao and handed him a copy of the memorial respectfully.

He reached out and took the memorial. This memorial was actually very simple. It was just a greeting memorial. The reason given was also very ordinary. It meant that I was sick and I could no longer serve His Majesty. I wanted to go home to recuperate.

There are thousands of such memorials, and the reason why Zhu Youxiao looked for this memorial is very simple, that is, the person who wrote this memorial was unusual.

The name of the person who wrote this memorial was Xu Guangqi. He was the man, or talent, that Zhu Youxiao valued most after time travel.

Xu Guangqi, courtesy name Zixian, nickname Xuanhu, Catholic holy name Paul, Han nationality, native of Fahuahui, Shanghai County (now Shanghai City). A famous scientist and politician in the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi devoted his life to the research of mathematics, astronomy, calendar, water conservancy and other aspects. He wrote diligently and was especially proficient in agriculture. He translated books such as "Elements of Geometry", "Taixi Water Law" and "Agricultural Administration Complete Book".

He knew everything about making guns and cannons. It can be said that Xu Guangqi was a great scientist of this era, with knowledge of both China and the West.

What's this?

This is a rare talent!

How could Zhu Youxiao not use such a talent?

Going home to recuperate, Zhu Youxiao knew very clearly why Xu Guangqi wanted to go home to recuperate.

In the 47th year of Wanli Dynasty, the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Sarhu. Xu Guangqi repeatedly requested to train troops. Later, he was promoted to Shao Zhanshi and Henan Province Censor, and supervised the training of the new army in Tongzhou. However, due to the difficulty in military pay and equipment supply, the training was difficult.

The plan didn't go well.

To put it bluntly, no one thinks highly of him or supports him. The court is busy with party disputes. Who has the mind to deal with an old man who wants to train in the army?

Xu Guangqi was so disheartened at this time that he could not speak, so he could only go back to Tianjin to recuperate.

Why is Tianjin not Shanghai? Because in the early winter of the 41st year of Wanli reign, Xu Guangqi resigned and went to Tianjin due to disagreements with some ministers in the court.

He dug canals and planted rice in Fangshan and Laishui counties, conducted various agricultural experiments, and wrote books such as "Yi Cultivation Order", "Agricultural Book Draft", and "Bei Geng Lu", which laid the foundation for the compilation of "Agricultural Policy Complete Book"

Base.

Since I can't be loyal to my country, I'd better write a book!
