Chapter 171 Memorial
"After the commanders-in-chief of the three armies reported the casualties of their respective units, Xiong Tingbi heard it and called out, "Good guys, I didn't see you guys being so fierce when they beat the Jurchens, but the casualties were higher than this."

"The implication of Xiong Tingbi's words is that when you hit the Jurchens, you were like deflated balloons. You were chased and beaten by the Jurchens, and the casualties were quite high."

"However, when we got here, our own people beat our own people very vigorously. From the afternoon of the first day to the early morning of the second day, the fighting power was very fierce, and even caused very little casualties."

"I'm just asking if it's strange to you. Even though you fought so hard, why did you lose your mind after changing your opponent?"

"Seeing that Xiong Tingbi didn't speak for a long time at this time, Qin Liangyu thought that Xiong Tingbi was going to cover up his own Liao soldiers again, so he quickly stood up and explained."

"She said that the white pole soldiers attacked only after being provoked by the Liao soldiers. The reason for the fight had nothing to do with the Sichuan army. Xiong Tingbi asked Xiong Tingbi to punish the Liao soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers."

"Then what Qin Liangyu said, the commanders of the Zhejiang and Liao soldiers were not happy. They said that your white-armed soldiers fought so hard and we were the ones who suffered the most casualties, not you, so they asked Xiong Tingbi to punish the white-armed soldiers."

"So the three parties quarreled again. Xiong Tingbi had no choice but to wave his hands to calm them down, and then said, "This is a big matter. This matter is too serious and bad. I will not punish anyone. I will report it." The court, let the court decide."

"I have to say that Xiong Tingbi's brain is relatively easy to use. If he punishes one of the three parties rashly, the punished party will definitely not accept it. It is inevitable that similar situations will occur in the future."

"And if the three parties are punished together, then the three parties will definitely not accept it. Besides, the enemy is now in the face. If punishing them leads to a decline in morale and thus defeats the battle, the responsibility is still his."

"It's a wise move not to do anything but to send this matter to the imperial court for the imperial court to make a decision."

"So Xiong Tingbi, while appeasing the three armies, sent people six hundred miles away to write this matter into a memorial and send it to the court."

"At that time, it was the Minister of the Ministry of War who received this memorial. When the Ministry of War saw this memorial, it thought it was Xiong Tingbi's report of the battle situation, so he opened it and was dumbfounded."

"At that time, everyone in the Ministry of War knew that the main troops to reinforce Liaodong were the Zhejiang Army and the Sichuan Army. It was impossible to say that there would be no conflicts, but they did not expect that the conflicts would become so big."

"If the safety of Liaodong is maintained only by the Liao soldiers, it is obviously not enough, so the stay of the Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan troops is particularly important."

"But now that such a serious situation has arisen, the three armies are fighting each other, and thousands of people have been killed or injured. Their military department can't make up their minds for the time being, so they sent this memorial to the cabinet."

"When the cabinet got this memorial, it looked at it casually and called it a good guy. It was extremely shocking. It's your own people beating your own people?"

"But when the cabinet learned about the ins and outs of this matter, it realized that this matter doesn't seem to be so easy to solve. Why?"

"If they are punished individually, the party being punished will definitely feel dissatisfied. If they are punished all, then the three parties will not accept it. Who knows if they will make such a fuss again in the future."

"But if there is no punishment, the three armies will definitely not be willing, because they are all waiting for a satisfactory result from the imperial court, so how can the three armies be satisfied?"

"It is said that the cabinet has been thinking for several days, but has not found a more perfect solution. In the end, because there are more and more things, the cabinet has no time to deal with this matter. Hey, I sent this memorial back."

"The memorial went back to the Ministry of War, because the cabinet has been receiving the memorial for several days, and the Ministry of War thought that the cabinet had finished approving it, so it was about to seal it and send it back."

"But the problem often arises at this time. It is said that when the Minister of War sealed the memorial of Xiong Tingbi, he accidentally dropped the memorial and spread it."

"Since the memorial was dropped, the Minister of the Ministry of War naturally wanted to pick it up, right? However, at this moment, the Minister took a closer look, gasped, and said, why is there no approval from the cabinet for this memorial?"

"So I picked it up and took a look, hey, isn't this the memorial that Xiong Tingbi reported? Why didn't the cabinet have Zhu Zhu's approval?"

"So everyone discussed this memorial for a long time, and finally they had to find the Secretary of the Ministry of War, saying that Xiong Tingbi's memorial could not be sent back without the approval of the cabinet."

"At that time, the minister of the Ministry of War didn't know what was going on. He had already sent it to the cabinet. Why didn't the cabinet deal with this memorial? Could it be that he forgot?"

"Hey, the Minister of the Ministry of War thought the same way at that time, so he asked people to send the memorial to the cabinet again. The time it took to go back and forth like this made the soldiers of the three armies who were waiting for the results in Tongzhou very anxious."

"It's been half a month since Xiong Tingbi submitted the memorial, and the court hasn't come up with any results yet. Could it be that Xiong Tingbi is deliberately covering up the Liao soldiers and intends to let the matter go?"

"Thinking this way, the Sichuan Army was unhappy, so they went to the governor's office to cause trouble and asked Xiong Tingbi to give him an explanation."

"At that time, Xiong Tingbi was also very puzzled. Usually, the memorials submitted to the imperial court were approved within ten days at most. Why hasn't there been any movement this time for half a month?"

"So Xiong Tingbi had no choice but to comfort the Sichuan Army and said that this is a big matter. Maybe the memorial has already been reported to the emperor. Please wait a little longer. As soon as there is news, I will make it public in time."

"After Xiong Tingbi's repeated persuasion, the Sichuan army left the governor's office, and Xiong Tingbi saw that there was no movement from the court, so he wrote another memorial and sent it to the Ministry of War."

"At that time, the Ministry of War had just submitted Xiong Tingbi's first memorial to the cabinet again, and the cabinet was quite angry after seeing this memorial again."

"It should be a matter of your Ministry of War. If you can't solve it yourself, you will trouble the cabinet. Anyway, the cabinet can't solve it. You just don't do anything, just send it to the chief of rites, and let the eunuch make a decision. "

"Hey, so Xiong Tingbi's memorial was sent by the cabinet to the supervisor of rites. At that time, it was Wei Zhongxian who supervised the affairs of ceremonies. Wei Zhongxian felt very strange when he saw it."

"Although he doesn't understand military warfare, he still understands one thing, that is, his own family should not fight his own family. Let's look at what the three armies, the Liao army, the Sichuan army, and the Zhejiang army, are doing."

"That's why Wei Zhongxian called several eunuchs and asked them to discuss how to solve this matter together."
