After a brutal and tragic war, the northeastern region of Chinese mainland barely restored general peace, under the military attack of the Han military group headed by Lin Feng, the power of the Manchu regime east of Shanhaiguan was uprooted, in addition to the Manchu, Han and Mongolian eight banner armies owned by themselves, the upper aristocratic strata that maintained their rule were all executed, and the ruling basis of this feudal military regime with strong colonial colors "Eight Banners" was also ordered to be disbanded, of which tens of thousands of Eight Banner civilians in Liaoyang were slaughtered by the Han army, After fierce debate and refutation by the Han army's high-level leaders, nearly 200,000 civilians were deprived of all property and political and personal rights, of which 60,000 were reduced to slavery and rewarded to the army as spoils of war, while the remaining 140,000 people were dismissed and relocated to the Liaodong region. As the vanquished, even if they arrived at the resettlement site, they would be placed under residential surveillance by the local yamen of the Han army, and they would survive as "untouchables" for three generations, and in addition to enduring heavy taxes, they were not allowed to work as officials, take imperial examinations, or leave their places of residence without authorization or live in groups of ten households (i.e., they were not allowed to interact with each other, and more than ten families were not allowed to live in one place).

The unprecedented bloody and cruel war of national revenge gradually came to an end in the bones, in a sense, as an emerging nation, the Eight Banners have been completely eliminated politically, the Han military government in the field of the original Eight Banners in accordance with the Ningjin model to form the "Nuergan Governor's Office", according to the convention, by the Han King Lin Feng concurrently served as the Governor of Nuergan, and when the regime was completed, the Han military government fell into the problem of insufficient garrison troops.

This war lasted for nearly half a year, although the Han army won an unprecedented victory, but it also paid a heavy price, only Lin Feng personally commanded the Northern Expeditionary Corps, there were nearly 20,000 casualties, especially the original Han Cavalry Sixth Army, this cavalry unit at the beginning of the campaign in a series of casualties in the blocking battle, its main force of the second brigade even for the Qing army Pengchun troops into a formation of annihilation, and finally had to be forced to cancel the number, and Lin Feng's guards cavalry unit merged into the second army of the Guards cavalry. According to accurate statistics, in the whole battle, the cavalry units of the Han army had a total of 5,262 killed, missing, and wounded, and 7,002 horses; The casualties of the musket and artillery units were relatively light, with a total loss of more than 1,400 soldiers, nearly 4,600 guns damaged or scrapped, and 32 cannons.

Since the establishment of the Han regime, the army has always been the top priority of this military group, and after the formation of the General Staff, after a long period of revision and supplementation, the military system of the Han Army has gradually evolved into a rigorous and very, according to the provisions of the system, the formation of the number of each unit of the Han Army, the number of soldiers and the replenishment of ordnance are all under the direct jurisdiction of the General Staff, and its various conscription orders and mobilization orders must be approved by the King of Han. It was also necessary to undergo a four-month period of unified training and "loyal education" at the Fengtai Military Station and Mazhuang Military Station in Beijing before they could be replenished into the various troops, so when the Nuergan Governor's Office was built, although various civilian officials arrived from Beijing one after another, the selection of troops and generals stationed here could not be selected for a long time.

Theoretically speaking, at present, the vast area outside the Guanhai under the jurisdiction of the Han government, stretching from Shanhaiguan in the west, to the Yalu River in the east, to Harbin in the north, and the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, all its garrison troops are only the Second Army of the Han Infantry of the Pingliao Zhonglang General Wang Dahai and the two musket brigades directly under the Ningjin Governor's Office, with a total strength of more than 13,000 people.

In fact, in response to this problem, there are not no suitable troops and generals in the Han army, in the minds of many officials and officers and even Lin Feng, they all understand that only Ma Ying is suitable for this position, but at this moment, no one dares to recommend Ma Ying to this position in front of Lin Feng.

It is undeniable that the Han Jianwei Zhonglang general Ma Ying has made great achievements, and his own martial arts are strong, whether it is military strategy or temporary command, he can be regarded as outstanding among the generals of the Han army, and what is even more rare is that he himself is a native of Liaodong, and he was familiar with the geography and climate outside the Guandong before serving the Han army. As we all know, Ma Ying was born in the green forest, before joining the Han Dynasty, he gathered in the mountains and forests in the Ningjin area of Liaodong to support the army, and was ambitious and had the ambition of the king of Liaodong, and even when His Royal Highness the King of Han bent down to appease him, he also repeatedly incited them to fight against the heavenly soldiers.

This is a dangerous topic, and it is also a sensitive topic, and the strategists and officials around Lin Feng, even if they are bold and crazy like Wang Shirong, do not dare to make any suggestions to Lin Feng. And what's even more embarrassing is that Lin Feng also feels that this kind of thing is not good to consult a certain subordinate, seeing that Liaodong is getting colder and colder, the three armies should not stay for a long time, this problem can not be delayed, in desperation, Lin Feng had to summon Ma Ying alone, the matter has come to this, if it is not resolved as soon as possible, this matter will definitely become a heart disease of Ma Ying and other subordinates of the Liaodong military system, even if there is no dissent, sooner or later will be forced out of dissent.

After more than ten days of cultivation, Ma Ying's complexion has improved a lot, in the previous battles large and small, because of the relationship between being the first soldier to lead the charge, he was hit by several arrows, and his face was even chopped off by the Mongolian soldiers, but fortunately, his physique is strong and recovers quickly, at this moment the gauze on his head is removed, a narrow scar extends from the right cheek to the center of the eyebrows, and the snow-white handsome face looks a little hideous.

"Jianwei Zhonglang will Ma Ying, meet the lord!" Ma Ying turned his head slightly to peep, the Shenyang Mansion Hall was empty, only himself and Lin Feng were two people, and he was greatly comforted, and his tense face eased a lot.

"Oh, get up, get up—sit down, sit down!" Lin Feng personally supported him, took his hand, sat down on the side of the hall, and said with a smile, "General Ma, you know that I called you here today...... What's going on?! ”

"I don't know, please make it clear!"

Lin Feng shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I said pony, let's charge together and be born and die for a few months, don't you know what this king is like?!" - Hurry up, it's all fighting men, and it's boring to push around. ”

"......" Ma Ying's expression moved, raised her head slightly, stared forward for a long time, her lips squirmed, but she finally didn't say a word.

"Okay, let's talk about it," Lin Feng sighed with a wry smile, "This time, our Han Ping destroyed the Eight Banners of Shengjing, opened the Governor's Mansion of Nuergan, and prepared to set up a garrison general, originally this position was none other than you-" He glanced at Ma Ying and said with a smile, "But everyone is afraid that you will rebel, so they didn't echo ......"

"The last general is loyal, heaven and earth learn from each other, and please ask the lord to ......" Ma Ying fell to his knees and shouted angrily.

"Please get up, please get up...... Lin Feng picked him up again with a smile and pressed him to the chair, "I'm a cheerful person, those scholars always tell me to do something 'emperor's technique' openly and secretly, hehe, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, the manly man stands up to the sky, comes and goes, why play those indiscriminate conspiracies?!" ”

He looked at Ma Ying, who bowed his head and was silent, "I called you over today just to ask you what you mean - General Ma Ying, do you want to follow the king to lead the guards, or do you want to stay outside the gate and be alone?!" ”

"The last general is willing to follow the lord's left and right and build an immortal career!! ……”

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, turned his head and stared into his eyes in a daze, "Could it be that the current heroes of Liaodong are so reduced that they dare not tell the truth?" He laughed and said, "Back then, this king and you hunted outside the Shanhai Pass, the army confronted each other, and the general was majestic and heroic, why did it become so obscene today?!" ”

Ma Ying's blood suddenly surged upward, her white face turned purple in an instant, she raised her head and looked directly at Lin Feng, and said angrily, "My lord, if you suspect that I Ma Ying is disloyal, why do you want to make a provocation?!" ”

"The general is angry, this king has never suspected you of being disloyal, otherwise he wouldn't have called you over today!" Lin Feng waved his hand casually, "This king wants to listen to you tell the truth!" ”

Ma Ying clasped his fists and saluted, and said awe-inspiringly, "If the lord wants to listen to the last general tell the truth, then Ma Ying will tell you the truth - that's right, the last general really wants to be alone!" His eyes didn't bother for a moment, and he looked directly at Lin Feng, "I'm just afraid that the lord will suspect that we have two hearts, and we will rebel in the future!" ”

"Good man! Lao Tzu has to listen to this sentence! Lin Feng clapped his hands and cheered, stood up and laughed, "Why should I be afraid of your rebellion?!" He looked at Ma Ying with a smile and patted the chair in front of him, "This is the 'Shengjing' of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what does the general think, how is the former Shengjing general Dakma himself?!" ”

"It's a powerful character, he can lead the army to fight and win people's hearts, and he is not afraid of death!" Ma Ying hesitated for a moment, and then replied loudly.

"What about Sabsu?!"

"It's a man, he fights well, if he doesn't die, the last general will definitely make this friend!"

"What about Pengchun?!" Lin Feng smiled.

"Heroes!" Ma Ying had a little reminiscence, looked at Lin Feng suspiciously, and said hesitantly, "Although Peng Chun is our enemy, he is indeed a hero, and he will be admired by the general!" ”

"Yes! These three Tartar generals, as well as Cai Yurong, Yao Qisheng and others, are all well-known heroes, but they are all tied together and are not the opponents of this king," he glanced at Ma Ying and said proudly, "Does the general think that you will be more powerful than them?!" ”

Ma Ying suddenly realized, and said heartily, "The lord is mighty, and the end will be admired!" ”

"yes, then why do you think I'm afraid of your rebellion?!" Lin Feng smiled and stretched out a finger, "First, your troops were given by me, the officers have been trained in Mazhuang Martial Arts, and the soldiers have been trained in the military station, all of whom are loyal subordinates of this king; Second, the officials in all parts of Nuergan were the ministers of the widows, and they were the elected officials of the Great Han; Third, Nurgan's territory was led by Lone himself, fighting with a knife and a gun, this is a radius of thousands of miles, Manchurian, Mongolian and Han tribes, who doesn't know the prestige of this king?! ......" He put down his hand and looked at Ma Ying with a smile, "Even if someone rebels, this king's edict can be determined, who dares to be the enemy of this king in Liaodong outside the pass?!" ”

"The last general...... Humble ......" Ma Ying's face turned red, and she couldn't speak.

"I, Lin Feng, never like to talk big, clichés, empty words, horse words, pony, to be honest with you today, I never doubted that you would have two hearts, not because of other reasons, because this king understands that you are definitely not the opponent of this king!!" Lin Feng looked at the young general meaningfully, "Whether it is in my Han Dynasty or in the rivers and lakes, this world is respected by the strong, the general struggles and ups and downs, and has been through human affection for a long time, don't you understand?!" ”

Ma Ying turned over and knelt down again, leaning on the ground, "The lord is refreshing, the last general roared in the green forest, crisscrossed Liaodong, he didn't understand loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and he was a hero in his life," he raised his head and said loudly, "In the past, the Ming Dynasty owned the world, and fought with the Tartars for decades, and was finally destroyed by the Tartars; And today, it only took a few months for the lord to level them, the brothers are not unconvinced, please rest assured, my Ma Ying is not a stupid person who does not know the times! ”

"That's good," Lin Feng nodded, "You are different from those civil officials, and the widows don't tell you any big truths, everyone is a good man who licks blood from the knife edge, and everything is empty, and there is no need to talk about this nonsense, so I called you over today to tell you that this king is determined to appoint you as the general of the Nuergan garrison, and the rank of general in the middle of the move, conferred the rank of ' From today onwards, the number of the Sixth Army of the Han Cavalry will be restored, and the general will lead the army and horses of the headquarters to guard Nuergan, first pacify the Manchu remnants and bandits in various parts of the local area, and then move east to the northern towns of North Korea, Mongolia, and Russia, and expand the territory for my Han Dynasty! ”

Ma Ying bowed his head and thanked him, "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!" He raised his head and hugged his fists and said, "Lord Qi, now my headquarters is in tatters, there are only more than 4,000 horses left in the Han army, and together with the 2,000 Qing troops who surrendered, there are only 6,000, and the territory of Nuergan is vast, and the troops are not enough, please replenish the men and horses!" ”

"Those Eight Banner cavalry who surrendered can't garrison Nuergan!" Lin Feng groaned slightly, "I intend to transfer those 2,000 troops to Wang Dahai's department, and garrison Chengde Rehe to guard against Horqin, this time Buryagma has a deep grudge against them, and good steel must be used on a good blade!" - In this way, there are still two battalions of more than 1,000 cavalry under the original king Dahai, and they will be replaced and assigned to the general's command! ”

Ma Ying frowned and said, "The battle of Nuergan is initially decided, in addition to the Manchu Yu rebellion, other mountain and forest tribes are also afraid that some people will not be convinced, even if these thousand cavalry are transferred, I only have more than 5,000 people, I'm afraid it is still not enough!" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, since this king has restored the number of your Sixth Army, then he will definitely replenish your men and horses," Seeing Ma Ying's urgency, Lin Feng laughed and said, "There are still two brigades of musketeers directly under the jurisdiction of the Ningjin Governor's Mansion, and this king will transfer one brigade to the Nuergan Governor's Mansion under your command, in addition, I will also transfer two battalions of artillery and one Langzhong battalion from the Guards to you, so that the Sixth Army has the ability to conquer Jiancheng!" ”

Ma Ying calculated in his heart that since then, the strength of the Sixth Cavalry Army will be close to 10,000, the establishment has been restored to its integrity, and its strength can be called strong. - But the 'attack' that the lord said was ...... Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen, all the large and small cities in Nuergan are in the hands of my Han, I don't know which city the lord plans to conquer?! ”

"Oh, isn't there another Yalu River?!" Lin Feng looked at Ma Ying in surprise, why does this person have no concept of international relations at all, can't he open his eyes a little except to fight a civil war? He said with a straight face, "General Ma, this time we have worked hard to mobilize the people, and the imperial court has spent countless amounts of food and salary, so we can't help but find some compensation, and the widow means that we have to send some people to cross the Yalu River and report to the king of North Korea, that is, there is a change on our side, ask them what they plan!" ”

Ma Ying was stunned, stayed for a long time, and then said hesitantly, "This...... This one...... My lord, if our army crosses the river, will it cause a war between the two countries?! ”

"Hey! The general laughed, let's just go over and take a look, and I don't mean anything else, the king of North Korea is also the king of a country, how can he be so stingy?! ”

"This ......" Ma Ying swallowed, "this...... My lord, if the king of Joseon sends an envoy to ask, how should I answer?! ”

"Oh, this is easy to say, you just tell him that our big man will have some difficulties at this time, and the friendship between our two countries has a long history, and he can't help but help with this favor," Lin Feng said with a smile, "Just say that the widow asked him to borrow one million stones of grain and one million taels of silver, and we will pay it back when we have money!" ”

"This ...... What if they won?! ”

"Joke, they won't, won't the general take it himself?!" Lin Feng patted the chair casually, "The Nuergan land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lack of manpower for farming and mining, this matter is extremely important, if the general crosses the river, he must take it to heart." ”
