After entering the Shiqi military camp in a roundabout way, Wang Xingping's expectations were quickly disappointed, because this Xuanfu envoy was not surnamed Qin, but surnamed Ma.

It was his own disagreement, and only then did he react, Qin Liangyu is a woman, but she is in charge of her seal after her husband's death, and the general situation of the luxury of the year, as for the current genuine Xuanfu envoy, it is naturally the descendant of the surname Ma - Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, the son of the former Shi Yan Xuanfu envoy Ma Qiancheng.

The young Xuanfu envoy was in his early twenties, tall and strong, and his visual measurement was around 1.8 meters, which was rare in this era.

When he saw Wang Xingping, he simply confirmed his identity from his uncle, and said: "I have long heard that Wang Gongzi is good at using a set of grappling and fighting skills, can you learn a thing or two from you." ”

Wang Xing said calmly, I'm afraid this is what Xiong Tingbi found for himself again, and said humbly: "It's just a trivial trick, you can't get on the stage, General Pony must not take it seriously." ”

He is telling the truth, the so-called one force will drop ten, his reborn body is already thin, not to mention that there is no 'juvenile protection law' at this time, where will he go to the eldest child who has just turned seventeen, but this one is really embarrassed to speak.

Ma Xianglin didn't look embarrassed, but said: "It's really not serious, take it out and take a look at it, you don't have to say more, these days have not been in battle, Lao Tzu's hands and feet have to be sharpened (note: Ming Dynasty Shu language, describing the grinding of copper gradually disappearing)." ”

Qin Bangping played a round on the side, "Tiancheng don't be surprised, my nephew is a reckless person, as long as he talks about martial arts, it is like falling into a dream." ”

"Official, Wang Gongzi is a guest, don't be embarrassed." Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded.

Wang Xingping heard this accent a little novel, looked straight over, and saw a woman in her twenties, dressed in military uniform, although she was not very beautiful, but she had a sassy air, and she had come to Ma Xianglin's side while speaking. When the woman saw Wang Xingping's gaze, she didn't have the slightest shyness, but she just laughed.

Qin Bangping was a little embarrassed and explained: "This is the nephew and daughter-in-law Zhang, who also serves in the army. ”

The woman was blessed and said softly: "Little woman Fengyi, the prince is polite." ”

Wang Xingping was surprised, although Qin Liangyu Zhuyu was in front, there were too many female officers in the Sichuan barracks, and another one appeared just a moment ago. He silently recited Zhang's name again in his heart, and suddenly sighed, "I don't know who the Liaodong Patrol Zhang Envoy Jun is?" ”

"Why, Childe knows his father?" The woman was a little more angry when she heard this.

"Sure enough." Wang Xingping said suddenly.

Liaodong Patrol Zhang Quan is now stationed in Liaoyang City, a few days ago Wang Xingping returned to Liaoyang, and also took the time to visit. Without him, Guy is also the same year as his uncle Wang Zunde, who is also a Jinshi in the thirty-second year of Wanli, and it is good to go to get acquainted with his face first under this banner, which is also to pave the way for Fu Xiaofei, and Fu Yuan's arrangement in Liaoyang must have bothered the old man Zhang.

Mr. Zhang is a native of Qinshui, Shanxi, and when he gossiped with him, he vaguely knew that his wife was quite manly, and even married a military general with his daughter, and his daughter's boudoir had heard Zhang Quan's old family nagging a few words, and it was called Fengyi, but he listened to it as gossip at that time but did not ask which family to marry. Now it seems that Qin Liangyu's name of loyalty and righteousness is outside, and this Zhang Quan is also a modest, plus Ma Xianglin is in the Liaodong Army, and he also has the official body of the Xuanfu envoy, and his age and family are also right, so it is not difficult to understand that the two families come together.

With such a relationship, it is natural to get closer again, but Wang Xingping still wants to sell Ma Xianglin a face, but said to Ma Huateng behind him: "You accompany General Ma to practice for a while, and the point is up." ”

He was naturally very confident in the training of bad people, and said to Ma Xianglin: "The kid has been feeling unwell recently, so let my family have a discussion with the general, and I just want to see if he is lazy these days." ”

Ma Huateng stepped forward when he heard the sound, arched in front of Ma Xianglin, and then unhurriedly sank down and moved his hand forward.

Ma Xianglin saw that this person was also strong, and he did not mean to despise him, so he returned the salute and took the lead to recruit people.

A punch is thrown, and the fist is substantial.

Ma Huateng also turned pale, and flashed to the right, but Ma Xianglin saw that his fist was old, but he retracted it and went straight to Ma Huateng's waist. Ma Huateng seemed to have expected it, unhurriedly adjusted his position, and suddenly stepped forward, Kankan let the hook punch behind his back and hit it empty, and then hugged Ma Xianglin with both hands with lightning speed, and pushed his head and chest forward. Ma Xianglin suddenly felt that his strength was exhausted, and he couldn't fight back.

The people around him seemed that Ma Huateng's action was quite funny, but Ma Xianglin showed a trace of pain on his face, and he didn't support it for too long before admitting defeat.

With this lesson, the pony Xuanfu was much more cautious in the next competition, but Rao was like this, and he still frequently let Ma Huateng's routine take advantage of it, and he lost inexplicably.

In this more than ten rounds, there were more defeats and fewer victories, but Ma Xianglin also lost convincingly.

However, Wang Xingping still cared about Ma Xianglin's face, and repeatedly confessed, "The general doesn't have to be discouraged, this is just your Ma family's competition behind closed doors, don't care about winning or losing." ”

Ma Xianglin paused for a moment, and saw that Ma Huateng had already bowed down and bowed again, "Huateng has seen the eldest brother." ”

Qin Bangping on the side was a little stunned, "Tiancheng, what does this mean?" ”

Wang Xingping just smiled faintly, "Huateng, say it yourself." ”

Ma Huateng then Shi Shiran saluted Qin Bangping again and talked about his own life experience.

It turned out that this Ma Huateng was investigated by the local agency in Sanya when he was naturalized, but he was a descendant of Shi Yan's Ma family.

At that time, Ma Xianglin's grandfather Ma Douhu was framed by the enemy Longyang Tusi Tan Yanxiang in collusion with Cao Kui, the governor of Zhongzhou, for opening a mine in the territory, and finally sent it to Liaodongkou. And Ma Douhu's brother, Ma Douliang, who was the same knowledge of Zhongzhou at the time, was also convicted of 'disobeying the holy will and falsely accusing Shangguan' because of his brother's defense and was sent to Bianzhou, and his family's place of exile was Qiongzhou, which was an old thing nearly thirty years ago, this Ma Huateng is the grandson of Ma Douliang, and his family lived in the Yazhou area, so he was destined to join the Senate.

The reunion of relatives is naturally an unexpected joy, Ma Huateng said that Ma Xianglin can also verify the situation at home one by one, and Wang Xingping testified from the side, let alone falsify.

In addition, Ma Huateng's kung fu is indeed good, so Ma Xianglin is even more happy, and at noon he simply set up a family banquet in the camp, and said that he would send a letter to Qin Liangyu, who was still stationed in Tongzhou, and take Ma Huateng back to his hometown to recognize his ancestors. Wang Xingping is naturally happy to see these things come to fruition, after all, Ma Huateng's identity is no problem, which is also the right thing to do. It's just that when Ma Xianglin and Qin Bangping asked about Ma Huateng's future plans, he still insisted on staying by Wang Xingping's side, which made the two of them look at Wang Xingping again.

Because he recognized his family, Ma Xianglin spoke much more freely, and Wang Xingping also knew from the small talk why Qin Liangyu could not come to the front line in person. He had seen it in the song before, saying that on the road to aid Liao, the white pole soldiers had a fight with the Zhejiang soldiers because of a quarrel, and Qin Liangyu was in Tongzhou to deal with the aftermath.

However, after coming and going, the two armies of Sichuan and Zhejiang have resolved their grievances in joint operations, and secondly, there are senior officials of the DPRK and China like Xu Guangqi who have come forward to mediate, and the matter has gradually subsided, but I heard Wang Xingping mention that Xu Guangqi is his mentor, and the relationship has become closer.

On the way back to the camp that day, Wang Xingping was a little curious, and asked Ma Huateng, "Are you really not tempted?" With your status, it is not difficult to be garrisoned in the Stone Rock Camp. ”

"How can I relax next to the chief, and besides, I still prefer Brunei to Shiyan."

This is not surprising at all, the naturalized people who can be sent abroad, especially elite organizations such as bad people, will be trained in Brunei for a long time. has experienced the baptism of modern civilization, and then let them adapt to this Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that even if it is a general, it will be a little difficult for a strong man.

In the following days, he lingered in Fengji Fort for a few more days, until he returned from the north, then he resigned from Zhang Mingshi and others and embarked on the journey to Shenyang.

…………

Two days later, Wang Xingping and his entourage arrived at Shenyang, the last stop of this trip to Liaodong.

In terms of military affairs, the city defense layout of Shenyang City is even higher than that of Gyeonggi.

This is not only due to the heightened walls, but also the entire system of defenses attached to the walls inside and outside.

In terms of size, under the jurisdiction of the entire Liaodong Metropolitan Division, Shenyang alone has two moats, before Kaiyuan was captured by the Houjin, Shenyang City was ranked in the top four cities, and after that he was the third in Liaoyang, second only to Liaoyang and Guangning.

In the twenty-second year of Jiajing (1543 AD), the Liaodong capital expanded the pass box outside the security gate in the south of Shenyang City, which was the South Pass City for the guerrilla army to garrison the city, and the Shenyang City was divided into two parts, the north side was the Shenyang Zhongwei Governance Office, and the south side was the military city.

In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli (1596), the single-roll door hole outside the Anding Gate in the north was changed to the Cross Roll Cave, and the Anding Gate was also renamed the town side gate. In the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618 AD), a double cross roll hole was added outside the cross roll door of the town side gate, and the enemy platform was set up between the north and south two rolls of the cross roll, since then, the north gate of Shenyang City became a double urn city constructed by nine roll holes, solid as gold.

Wang Xingping knew this information long before he came to Shen, but when he came, he deliberately went around the north gate to enter the city, so that he naturally witnessed it in person, but after seeing the gate on the edge of the town, he faintly felt that this city might not be able to hold it.

The city wall next to the gate of the town alone has collapsed a lot, although it will not become a gap, but it is tantamount to abandoning the city defense system he knew before, I heard that Xiong Tingbi had organized repairs when he was in office, but this place is now an enemy on three sides, and Jianzhou is harassed from time to time, so it is impossible to stabilize the city defense, not to mention that there are nearly 10,000 people in this city.

Wang Xingping's purpose here is very simple, that is, strategic reconnaissance, Houjin attack Shen seems imminent, he wants to get closer to observe the real combat power of the Eight Banners. Although the Senate is not interested in Houjin's field combat ability, it is not wrong to know oneself and the other, and besides, it is not much danger to just watch the battle.

In addition, it was because of the words with those Mongolian merchants that he had a different idea.

But change is always stronger than plan, and within a few days of Wang Xingping settling in Shenyang, Nurhachi's army arrived, several days earlier than expected.
