Chapter 21: Ma Ruan

In fact, Wang Zhiren has the same historical problems as Ma Shiying, he is the cousin of Wang Zhixin, the eunuch of Dongchang, the governor of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and it is by virtue of the power of Wang Zhixin that he has the opportunity to become the general soldier of Dinghai, and when Boluo went south, he once surrendered to the table, if it were not for the relationship of the shaving order, he should still be the Dinghai general soldier of the Qing Dynasty now.

It is precisely because of the similar historical problems with Ma Shiying that Wang Zhiren will behave very positively and even fall into the ground, but Empress Zhang smiled slightly: "It's not so exaggerated, since Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou are willing to make meritorious contributions to restore the Ming Dynasty, they should treat Daren as a person, so what's the harm in giving him the title of a university scholar!" ”

Speaking of this, Empress Zhang laughed again: "When the country is in danger, it is naturally the quantity that is used, and you think that you can increase the bachelor's title just by speaking." ”

Just like the two small courts of Tang and Lu in history, Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi did not think that as a virtual title of bachelor and six books of the book is a precious existence, so there will be an example of Yu Huang just following the army to be awarded the military department of the book, Ma Shiying is now just a virtual title of scholar.

And Wang Zhiren was the first to stand up and agree: "Niangniang Shengming, everything is arranged by Niangniang!" ”

Xing Shengping, Shi Chaoli, and Zhao Zhijie who were followed were all praised, but Empress Zhang glanced at Mrs. Xing, and then at Liu Yongxi and continued: "It's just a fictitious title of a university scholar, Ma Shiying is willing to make meritorious contributions, but this time Wang Shi will be a teacher of Qianjiang to attack Hangzhou, which is related to the rise and fall of the world, so everything must be based on me, if Ma Shiying wants to use those means to deal with King Fu in the court, it is a wrong idea!" ”

In fact, not all the civil and military officials present agreed with Empress Zhang's decision, these are not necessarily Donglin gentlemen, but they have a historical grudge with Ma Shiying or have stood on the opposite side of Ma Shiying, so they are bent on beating the water dogs, but Empress Zhang said "Everything must be based on me" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how great Ma Shiying's ability is, he is only a fictitious scholar in this dynasty, and he can't make waves at all, and the court just needs thousands of soldiers and horses from him and Yang Longyou.

Mrs. Xing also felt that Empress Zhang's decision couldn't be faulted: "Niangniang Shengming, the country is hopeful!" ”

Although Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou only have more than 4,000 soldiers and horses combined, and these 4,000 people are all defeated generals of the Qing army, this army is the economic division of the Hongguang Dynasty after all, and its combat effectiveness is better than that of ordinary righteous teachers and righteous soldiers, and although Empress Zhang is a woman, she has her own set of methods to deal with this Hongguang Dynasty Ma Xiangguo.

And after more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Yongxi was able to transfer the old departments of Jingkou Town and Linhuai Town from the battlefield in Hangzhou, leaving only Xing Shengping and Zhu Dadian, who came from Jinhua temporarily, to preside over the battle.

And Liu Yongxi's elite troops invested in the Huzhou battlefield are as many as 10,000 people, plus the 3,000 new talents led by Empress Zhang and the more than 1,000 people led by Mrs. Xing, the total strength is almost 15,000 and claims to have 30,000 people, which is also the limit that the Jinhua small court can mobilize, but with such a support army, everyone feels that the Ming Dynasty is promising.

Whether it is to take the provincial capital of Hangzhou or defeat the tens of thousands of reinforcements led by Duoduo, it is an extremely difficult task, but before this, everyone did not see much hope, but now everyone really sees the real hope, as long as they can work harder, Daming Zhongxing is not a dream bubble, but close at hand.

And for Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou, they also didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, although their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is no problem, but they have to bear the greatest responsibility for the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty, although they have thousands of troops in their hands, but there are shouts and killings everywhere, and they even have to kill them.

Who told Ma Shiying to offend almost everyone when he was in power, although they still had thousands of troops in their hands, but they were almost not tolerated by everyone and even had to take the path of Mrs. Xing to lose their sincerity to Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang, and after getting Empress Zhang's edict, Ma Shiying almost cried: "Niangniang Shengming, I knew this earlier, I should have given up King Fu and embraced the Holy Queen when I crossed to the south!" ”

Ma Shiying's pure afterthought, who would have thought that the situation would change so dramatically a year ago, and at that time, Ma Shiying did not respond even if he supported Empress Zhang, but Yang Longyou beside him felt the same way: "What Xiang Guo said is very true, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there is only such a chance for the sun and the moon to shine, so we will send troops now, right?" ”

Ma Shiying nodded, and asked Yang Longyou again: "How to deal with the problem between Ruan Yuanhai and Fang Guoan?" ”

Now there are two Ming armies in Yanzhou Mansion, in addition to Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou's troops, there is also a force that is the former Chikou General Soldier Fang Guoan, but somehow Fang Guoan actually colluded with Ruan Dacheng and has been acting on his own, and even wants to find an opportunity to annex Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou's department, fortunately, Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou have a relationship with Ruan Yuanhai, so although the two sides have friction, at least they have not torn their faces.

And now Ma Shiying was re-accepted by Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, and couldn't help but be angry again, and Yang Longyou's opinion was similar to Ma Shiying: "We don't know how many grievances we have suffered for Ruan Yuanhai, and now Ruan Dacheng should also wronged himself, and ask him and Fang Guoan to join us in the grand event, otherwise let Niangniang know who is the great harm to the country!"

Although Ruan Dacheng is not the root of all problems in the Hongguang Dynasty, his existence makes all problems unsolvable, and Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou have always been full of resentment towards Ruan Dacheng and Fang Guoan: "Give Ruan Yuanhai another chance, if he is obsessed again, don't blame me for truthfully stating in front of Niangniang!"

Although Empress Zhang only gave Ma Shiying a fictitious scholar, there are at least a dozen such fictitious scholars and they are still growing, but this also means that Ma Shiying, the Guizhou Township Party, was returned to the political stage by Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi, the Duke of Yueguo, and they will naturally have many ways to deal with Ruan Dacheng and Fang Guoan.

In addition to the more than 4,000 people controlled by Ma Shiying and Yang Longyou, there is Tian Yang, the governor of Huai'an, who is said to be still holding on to the sea, and there are six or seven thousand people in Fang Guoan's department.

After all, the existence of tens of thousands of strong soldiers in the entire Zhejiang Province can really be said to be only a handful except for Liu Yongxi, the rising star of Yue Guogong, Ma Shiying does not want to be a fictitious scholar for the rest of his life, he wants to re-become Ma Xiangguo of the Ming Dynasty.
