會遼、瀋失，熊廷弼、王化貞議不協，命廷臣議經、撫去留，景榮數為言官所論。 When Liaodong and Shenyang were lost, Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen could not reconcile their views; the court ordered a debate on whether to keep or dismiss the military governor and grand coordinator. Jingrong was repeatedly attacked by censorial officials.

及熊廷弼建三方布置策，天津居其一，增設鎮海諸營，用戚繼光遺法，水軍先習陸戰，軍由是可用。 When Xiong Tingbi devised the three-front disposition strategy, Tianjin was one of the three fronts; additional camps such as Zhenhai were established. Following Qi Jiguang's legacy methods, the navy trained first in land combat, and the force thereby became effective.
