The city gate is not a place to talk about things, and Gao Pragmatic is not good at instructing Ma Fang's godson here, so he can only say a few words, and then invite their father and son to go to the military and constitutional yamen to speak.

Since Ma Chengen and Zhang Wanbang had already been ordered to take office in advance, there were only Gao Shishi and Ma Fang's father and son at this meeting.

In view of Li Shizhen's request, Ma Fang has been banned from drinking, since he can't drink, Ma Dong naturally doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his father, lest Ma Laoshuai become addicted to alcohol, and it is not good to target Gao Pragmatic and sprinkle all his anger on him.

As for Gao Pragmatic, he is a person who has a lot of alcohol and no addiction to alcohol, and it would be great if he could not drink it, so he only prepared a banquet without alcohol, and Ma Laoshuai looked disappointed.

Although Gao Pragmatic was funny, in order to avoid accidents, he quickly turned the topic to business.

"Regarding the armament of southern Liaoning, I roughly plan to do this, and specifically the first guard post for the Qing army is set in Fuzhou...... Brother Chongzhai, don't be in a hurry to move first, wait to see the situation in Fuzhou. ”

Ma Dong wanted to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered that his father was still beside him, so he quickly shut up and looked at Ma Fang.

Ma Fang glared at him: "What do you see me doing, I'm General Haigai?" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered Gao Shi's words just now, and couldn't help but reluctantly suppress his temper, his tone slowed down, and said: "You are now a general, in addition to asking for instructions from the military constitution, you must also have your own ideas, don't just know how to obey orders, otherwise what is the difference between you and an ordinary pawn?" ”

Ma Dong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my father has taught me a lesson." ”

Ma Fang was about to stare at him, but when he thought of Gao Shishi's words, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and waved his hand to let him say it himself.

Ma Dong saw that Ma Fang had no other instructions, so he cleared his throat and said: "The military constitution must let Fuzhou clear the army first, presumably because the Fuzhou commander has been replaced, and the commander Ma is my Xuanda general, and he can implement the decision of the military constitution and the army without scruples." ”

Gao pragmatically nodded, smiled and encouraged him: "What Brother Chongzhai said is very true, please continue." ”

Ma Dong perked up, glanced at him gratefully, and said: "In addition, there is another advantage of the first Qing army in Fuzhou, that is, Fuzhou does not have to face the threat of the fried flower department, even if some people are restless in the process of the Qing army, it will not affect the defense of southern Liaoning too much, so the last general took the liberty of speculating that the task that the military constitution should hand over to the last general is probably to guard the two states of Haigai, especially the area of Dongchangbao. ”

Gao pragmatic laughed and praised Ma Fang: "Old handsome, how is it?" I'll just say that the tiger father has no dogs, don't you see Brother Chongzhai inferring very accurately? ”

Ma Fang didn't want to question Gao Pragmatic, so he had to reluctantly say: "Even if he is a fool, he must have one." ”

Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but laugh, and said secretly: This father's expectations for his son are too high, and it is not good, it is easy to drill the horns, you have to let him think more and do things by himself, how to say that his level should be stronger than the obscurity in the original history.

As for your other son, Marin, most of the time, because he is a young son, he can be more favored in front of his father, so he dares to "make his own decisions", so he is better than his eldest brother.

However, he may not have exercised enough, otherwise Salhu's performance in the first battle would not be so hesitant.

In fact, Gao Pragmatic didn't think that Marin in history lost the battle because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, because if he was greedy for life and afraid of death, after learning that Juniper's army was annihilated, he should have turned around and ran away like Li Ruzhen.

In fact, Marin's response was to set up camp and build fortifications in place in preparation for Nurhachi's attack.

This tactical move is worth scrutinizing, because Ma Lin was already a veteran general at that time, and he had been working in Liaodong for more than a year or two, and he should know very well in his heart that the Kaiyuan First Army under his command would definitely not be Nurhachi's opponent.

Why? Because the strength of the Kaiyuan army itself is not strong (only 15,000, almost the weakest way in the "four-way attack"), Juniper's road is considered the main force, there are 30,000 elite soldiers, and they can be completely wiped out by Nurhachi in one battle, what is extraordinary about his way, he can actually win?

And more importantly, Kaiyuan's side is one of the basic plates of Li Chengliang's lineage, and Ma Lin's subordinates did not listen to greetings at all, except for the entourage he brought from Xuanda, which can be seen from the fact that they were defeated with one blow when they faced Nurhachi's main force - at that time, Ma Lin and his two sons were still fighting to the death with their families.

According to normal circumstances, only when the family is defeated, the army will be dispersed, and when the family is still fighting to the death, the morale of the army usually will not collapse, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not be so dependent on the family, right?

In addition, Ma Lin used to be the chief soldier of Liaodong in the past, and it was precisely because he was excluded and ignored by the Liaodong generals that he finally had to leave his post.

Therefore, the reverse deduction can clearly conclude that Ma Lin knew that the Kaiyuan army under his command was unreliable, and it was impossible for him to win the field battle against Nurhachi, but he refused to abandon the land and flee without a battle, so he chose to stop the advance immediately, set up camp and build fortifications in situ, trying to stick to the marching road with firepower superiority, so as not to easily encircle Kaiyuan City by Nurhachi, which would lead to the overall situation of the northern front.

And he may have had an idea at that time, that is, the reinforcements of the Yehe tribe (who had come to cooperate with him) were already on the way here, and he could stick to the main road and wait for the main force of the Yehe tribe to arrive, and then join forces to flank Nurhachi.

It's just that he probably didn't expect that the morale of Nurhachi's main force at that time had almost reached its peak, and the Kaiyuan army under his command was not unreliable, but completely unreliable.

At that time, Ma Lin saw that Nurhachi's men and horses only had two banners plus four or five thousand people, and the remaining six banners of men and horses went to fight his two auxiliary battalions (he set up three battalions in a zigzag shape), so he took his own 1,000 Jiading and several thousand Kaiyuan troops to plan a decisive battle with Nurhachi, intending to directly take Nurhachi himself, and the war ended.

Who knew that as soon as he went up here, the Dai Shan army on the opposite side came up to meet and fought with Ma Lin in a tense battle, the other two battalions were broken, and the six banners of Jiannu came.

Marin and his two sons still feel that they are only one step away from Nurhachi, and they refuse to retreat, and they have to fight again, who would have expected that the Kaiyuan army under their command will see the deputy battalion to break, even if Marin is still fighting to the death, they will also retreat directly - what is the good end of the rout in front of Jiannu? Most of them were killed and injured in an instant.

Ma Lin's second son didn't want his father to be trapped in the enemy formation, so he covered his father's withdrawal to Kaiyuan, hoping that Kaiyuan could still hold until the arrival of imperial reinforcements and not lose it to Jiannu.

This "number of horses" itself is also worth scrutinizing, because Ma Lin's entourage has always been a cavalry, if he wants to take it away, how to say that there is only a "number of horses", and the reason why Jiangmen became a general, to a large extent, is because of the strength of the family, he left many family members on the battlefield, which itself shows that he made a bloody investment in this battle.

Compare Li Ruzhen? The army of 25,000 marched at a slow pace, and when he heard that Juniper was defeated, he turned around and left without saying a word, which was not an ordinary decisiveness.

What's even more ridiculous is that when he retreated, he was discovered by Jiannu Tanma, who was clamoring in the mountains and making an offensive momentum, Li Ruzhen actually thought that the main force of Jiannu had arrived, and fled in panic, resulting in the rout of the army immediately, and even more than 1,000 people died just because of trampling on each other.

Who is worse compared to Marin? Who is more worthy of saving a little?
