Half a month later.

During this half-month, although Zhu Xieyuan was unable to rush to Beijing for a while, large-scale troop transfers in various places have been going on.

At this time, in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, it was already a banner tent, soldiers and horses from all over the country were ordered to enter Beijing, and people shouted and neighed every day, and a large number of soldiers and horses were transferred back and forth.

The first to arrive was the Tianjin General Soldiers.

The Tianjin soldiers were not as close to Beijing as the Daimyo's Mansion and Jizhou Town, but they were the first soldiers and horses to arrive at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing after receiving the edict.

Ma Yi is a native of Ulzhou, Shandong, born in Jiangmen, and has a prominent family background on his ancestors.

He is the grandson of Ma Fang, the famous general of the three dynasties of Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli, and Ma Lin, the commander of the Northern Road Army in the Battle of Salhu, is also his father.

The defeat of Salhu brought shame on the Ma generals.

In addition to his father Ma Lin, who fled back to Guyuan, who was executed, his two brothers, Ma Ran, Ma Yi and more than 100 relatives, all died under Nurhachi's Houjin iron hooves.

Ma's general, glorious three dynasties, now only Ma Yi alone.

Hearing that the imperial court mobilized troops to fight with the Houjin Dynasty, Ma Yi, who was sleeping in the official residence of the general army at the time, lost the slightest sleepiness in an instant.

On the contrary, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night!

It's been four years, four whole years! He listened to his father's cry of regret for not fighting and dying in his sleep every night, and imagined in his mind the miserable destitude of his two brothers falling under the Jurchen butcher's knife!

Ma Yi dreamed of leading his troops back to Liaodong and being ashamed of Ma's generals.

Now, the opportunity has come, and this time the scale of the imperial court's gathering of troops is the first large-scale battle with Jiannu after the Battle of Sarhu.

In this battle, he will avenge his father and brother!

Ma Yi didn't sleep all night, and the next day he issued an official document to collect soldiers and horses from all over Tianjin, gathered 20,000 of them, and then quickly went north.

After coming to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he looked at the camp that was still empty at that time, picked a camp closest to the governor's tent, and then summoned the generals of Tianjin to discuss the war situation every day.

Beginning on the third day after Ma Yi led the Tianjin soldiers to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, the officers and soldiers of various departments began to come one after another.

First of all, the nearest Jizhou Town, their chief military officer was the notorious eunuch Wang Wei who took the throne for flattering Wei Zhongxian.

Then there is the Daimyo Mansion located in the land of Jifu, Tongzhou Sanwei, Xingzhou Wei, Yingzhou Office, Baoding Mansion and other places of the Beijing Army.

The combat enthusiasm of the Beijing army was generally very high.

These people were all triumphant divisions who had marched with the emperor last year, and this time they were reconvened in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and they were all very excited and wanted to make another meritorious service.

As soon as he arrived in the camp, the Beijing army, which had been rectified by the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself, was different from the neatness and prohibition of other guards, which deeply shocked Ma Yi.

Finally, there are the belated Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Yulin Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, and Gansu Town, which are regarded as the main border troops.

Although in the second year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court had largely completed the rectification of the nine-sided military town, such as making up military salaries and replacing ordnance and armor.

But for some reason, these "elites" who have been fighting outside the Seychelles all the year round have always made Ma Yi feel that there is a lack of heroism and vitality compared with the reorganized Beijing army.

......

The Great Tent of the Overseer.

Before you even walked in, you could hear the noisy sounds, the laughter of the generals, and the arguments with red faces and thick necks.

The generals are still seated in accordance with the concept of the nine-sided towns first and the Beijing army behind.

At this time, under the position of superintendent, there were Jiang Rang, the chief soldier of Yulin, Jiang Bi, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, and Zhang Wanbang, the chief soldier of Datong.

Yulin is the place where the most generals live in the world, and Jiang's generals have children as officials in Yulin, Guyuan, Gansu, Xuanzhen and other places, and it is one of the most widely distributed generals today.

Jiang Bi, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, is the younger brother of Jiang Rang, the chief military officer of Yulin.

Xuanfu and Datong are the two places that have fought the most in the nine border military towns for many years, and the border troops in these two places are also recognized as "the elite of the elite" by the generals and schools in various places, and they are the leaders of the Ming official army.

As for the Tianjin General Soldier and Horseman, although he was the first to come and grabbed a camp closer to the governor's tent, but because Tianjin was between Jifu, the situation was more embarrassing.

Moreover, there was no Tianjin soldier in the last Southwest War, and this time, Ma Yi was ranked last among the generals by the civilian officials in charge of sorting.

In fact, no matter what era people are, they must use colored glasses to see people.

The three marshals of Yulin, Xuanfu, and Datong, who were at the top of the ranks, were obviously the ones with the highest status among the generals who were ordered to enter Beijing this time, and their subordinates were recognized as the strongest in combat effectiveness.

In the current military general circle, only the nine-sided general soldier with high prestige is qualified to be named a marshal.

Now is not the end of the Ming Dynasty when "the general army is all over the ground, and the handsome is like a cow's hair", and everyone claims to be the handsome, regardless of whether he has real ability, he definitely has this proud capital.

The "big marshal" among the three generals sat on the seats, somewhat arrogant, and only spoke to the generals with higher status on the left and right.

For those who are in the back of the seat, they don't even bother to look at it.

Han Yi sat at the end, few people would take the initiative to come up to talk to him, he was not annoyed or angry, who told them that the Ma clan had a stubble when the imperial court had high hopes.

The impact of the Battle of Salhu was not limited to the change of shape of Mingjin's offense and defense in the situation in Liaodong, but also the sudden collapse of the prestige of the generals participating in the battle.

In the battle of Salhu, Ma Lin's father Ma Lin led the army of the North Road, but when he fought, he fled first in fear of the enemy, and even his two sons were abandoned.

This kind of joke is still the idle talk of the world's martial artists.

Everyone knows that the status of the Li family in Liaodong is not up or down now, and it is no longer what it used to be, but they don't know that he has already become a rat crossing the street and is ridiculed.

Ma Yi decided to close his eyes and wait for the new overseer chosen by the court for the army to read the generals to see what was sacred.

Last time, the overseer named Yang Hao was not easy to pit the generals.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he was lightly tapped on his shoulder, and Ma Yi turned his head to look, but saw that it was the last general in the same column.

The man smiled at him, and Ma Yi remembered that his name was Ma Shilong.

Ma Shilong, the word Cangyuan, Ningxia Weiren.

In the early years of Wanli, he was promoted to the rank of martial arts in the world, and in the last years of Wanli, he served as a garrison and guerrilla in Xuanfu, and in April of the second year of the Apocalypse, he was promoted to Yongping Deputy General Army and stationed in Luanzhou.

The current Ma Shilong is only the assistant deputy chief soldier of the Daimyo Mansion.

Because of the low seat, no one was willing to take the initiative to talk to him, and he was idle and bored, so he had to find something to talk to.

"This is Ma Dashuai's third son, Ma Yi, right?"

These words touched Ma Yi's nerves, his expression changed, and finally he turned his head and said lightly: "It's under the mark." ”

Hearing the seemingly self-deprecating "mark", which was actually mocking his own title, Ma Shilong looked slightly embarrassed, and knew that he would be wrong.

Laughing and saying:

"Ma Dashuai's army on the North Road fought bloodily, but after he came back, he was named a fleeing general, and the court treated people unfairly!"

Ma Yi sighed and said:

"The general of the defeated army, no matter how much you say, it is useless!"

Ma Shilong nodded, and suddenly asked:

"Does General Ma know that Houjin's current battle book is "Three Kingdoms"?"

Ma Yi nodded, sneered and said: "This group of Jiannu is indeed ridiculous and generous, shallow and ignorant!" ”
