Xiong Tingbi took the wine bowl, drank the wine in one gulp, and said with a big laugh: "The first batch of rewards from the court has arrived, and I will distribute it to you later."
After hearing this, everyone responded with a roar of agreement, laughing and drinking.
Since Xiong Tingbi arrived in Liaodong, the situation in Liaodong has changed.
Originally, everyone was the kind of person who was neither loved by their father nor their grandmother, but now it is different. With Xiong Tingbi here, all the good things are remembered in Liaodong.
This person is your Majesty's favorite, and this time the reward is very generous.
After everyone had finished drinking, Xiong Tingbi said, "Besides that, I have another piece of good news to tell you."
As he poured the wine, Xiong Tingbi said, "The court is going to reinstate the nobility. Originally, the court only had dukes, marquises, and earls, but now they say there will be viscounts and barons."
"And this time, if we win Liaodong, the imperial court will confer titles of viscount and baron upon those who have made contributions. Although it's a lower rank, it's still a title, and it can be passed down through the family. I don't need to explain what this means, do I?"
After hearing this, everyone present became excited.
Li Guangrong quickly asked, "Are you serious, Marshal?"
Hearing Li Guangrong's words, Xiong Tingbi glared at him and said, "How could the news from the capital be false? I tell you, this is true. This is all due to your majesty's grace! With this title, our descendants will enjoy endless benefits."
"Those who haven't achieved any meritorious service and have been awarded a title should work hard! Those who have a title should not become complacent but should continue to strive for a higher rank, so that one day they too can be made a marquis."
"When that time comes, it will be a big deal. Everyone will call you Marquis when they meet."
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.
The noise in the room was so loud that even the people standing guard outside could hear it clearly.
At this time, a horse was galloping towards them from a distance.
Arriving at the room, the rider quickly jumped off his horse.
The guards rushed forward.
The atmosphere in the room was so lively now, we couldn't let anyone come in and disturb it. If anyone disturbed it, we, the guards, would be punished.
However, after seeing the equipment of the person who came, the guards also became serious.
This is a scout.
In the military, scouts are a very special type of soldier. Only brave men can serve as such, and the annual mortality rate is very high. Therefore, their status is very high and very special.
The gatekeeper quickly bowed and asked, "Is there something urgent?"
The scout didn't even look at him and said directly, "I have urgent news."
After hearing this, the gatekeeper did not dare to delay.
Urgent reports don't happen every day, but whenever there is an urgent report in the military, it is a major matter concerning military intelligence.
"Follow me." The gatekeeper said with a serious face, turned around and led the way.
The two of them quickly entered the room.
The drinking atmosphere in the room was still lively, but when they saw the scout walk in, everyone quieted down.
Xiong Tingbi stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the commander, our people have found out that Wild Boar Skin is dead!" said the scout in a trembling voice.
After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the newcomer with shock, and asked in a tone of disbelief: "Are you saying that Wild Boar Skin is dead?"
"Yes, Marshal!" The scout replied with surprise.
After hearing this, everyone in the room couldn't believe it.
After a long silence, someone continued to eat and drink.
Xiong Tingbi asked directly: "How did he die? Any news?"
"Not yet." The scout said somewhat awkwardly, "I just heard he died."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside, "I know!"
Then, two people walked in from outside.
Everyone quickly turned around and saw that it was Wei Chao.
Standing next to Wei Chao was Liao Zhong, a captain of the Jinyiwei from Liaodong. Liao Zhong had only recently arrived and was considered a newcomer. He was cold and serious.
Normally, no one knew the true strength of Liao Zhong and everyone stayed away from him.
It was obvious that what Liao Zhong said just now was.
Xiong Tingbi looked at Liao Zhong and asked directly, "Do you Jinyiwei have any news?"
Liao Zhong nodded and said, "The news from our Jinyiwei has been reported back. Wild Boar Skin is indeed dead."
"He was severely injured after being hit by artillery fire last time. He lingered on for several days after returning, but now he is finally dead."
After hearing this, the people in the room finally understood what was going on. They all jumped up excitedly, and the sound of laughter could be heard everywhere.
Xiong Tingbi picked up the wine jar, laughed, took a big gulp and said, "It's so refreshing! It's so refreshing!"
Everyone in the room burst into laughter and drank their wine.
After finishing his drink, Xiong Tingbi said, "I will immediately write a memorial to report to His Majesty and at the same time ask for your merits."
After saying this, Xiong Tingbi strode out, laughing as he walked.
After Xiong Tingbi left, Wei Chao and Liao Zhong looked at each other and both shook their heads helplessly.
It's really not appropriate to talk about other things now. Everyone is too excited and the other people in the room are already drunk.
The two of them didn't say anything else and could only shake their heads and walk out.
Soon, the news that Nurhaci was killed by artillery spread.
