Chapter 229: Qualifications
Qin Liangyu knew that Sun Kewang also knew that if in the last battle of Ma Xianglin's life, in the Battle of Xiangyang, if Ma Xianglin himself wanted to abandon the city and break through, not to mention the 500,000 Great Western Army, even the 100,000 Eight Banner Iron Cavalry would not be able to stop him.
In the Battle of the Hunhe River that year, Ma Xianglin and the 3,000 Shizhu Army were surrounded by the 100,000 Eight Banners Army that poured out of the nest.
The 100,000 Eight Banners Army can't help Xiang Gong, how can Zhang Xianzhong's rabble trap a unicorn beast?
And Ma Xianglin, who was alone in Xiangyang, faced the 500,000 Western Army and defended the city for several months, but he refused to break through.
Before the city was broken and martyred, he wrote a letter to Qin Liangyu, in which he said: "My son swears to live and die with Xiangyang, and I hope that my adult will not think about my son's safety!" ”
And Qin Liangyu only had one sentence in his reply to his only son, a total of five words: "Good!" Good! Mawu'er! ”
Maybe these five words were written by Qin Liangyu with tears of blood?
Qin Liangyu pointed at Sun Kewang's nose without trembling, his eyes were bright and waveless, and his voice was as desolate as Hong Zhong Dalu:
"Fighting to defend the community, this is the training of my Qin family; The idiom of 'horse leather shroud' is an allusion to the ancestor of my husband's family, King Zhongxian Youshun, and the general of Fubo, Ma Yuan.
Kill yourself to become benevolent, sacrifice your life for righteousness, be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and endure humiliation.
The ancestors of my Ma family, since the pre-Qin period, have only the bravest and most fearless generals such as Zhao Hao, Ma Yuan, Ma Chao, my deceased husband Ma Qiancheng and my son Xianglin.
There has never been a traitor and coward who betrayed the country and escaped from the battle, you say you don't understand why my son refused to break through back then, that's a person like you, you don't deserve to understand at all. ”
Why did Qin Liangyu say that Zhao Hao was the ancestor of her husband Ma Qiancheng and son Ma Xianglin? Isn't Zhao Hao's surname Zhao, and his surname is not Ma.
Zhao Hao, a famous general of Zhao State, is also one of the eight famous generals of the Six Kingdoms of the East during the Warring States Period, and is as famous as Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Tian Ji, and Lian Po.
He was one of the sixty-four ancient generals posthumously awarded by the Tang Dynasty; He is one of the seventy-two ancient generals posthumously awarded in the Song Dynasty, and has been worthy of the sacrificial ceremonies of the previous dynasties for two thousand years.
In the battle of Qin and Zhao, Zhao Hao only broke the main force of the Qin army with only 10,000 Zhao troops.
The first emperor swept the six countries, the Zhao State was destroyed, and the descendants of Zhao Hao were worried about the retaliation of the Qin people, so they took refuge in seclusion.
This is the origin of Zhao Hao's descendants surnamed Ma instead of Zhao.
In the revival of the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu commanded 28 generals of Yuntai, but there was no horse aid among them.
However, this is not because Ma Fubo, who fought for the Later Han Dynasty in the east and west, broke the Qiang people in the west, and marched in the south to Jiaozhi was not qualified.
There are many reasons for this, one of which is that Ma Fubo's exploits are above the vast majority of the 28 generals of Yuntai, and the brave generals and disciples under his command are almost more than the total number of brave generals and disciples under the command of the 28 generals of Yuntai.
Ma Yuan's influence made the emperor of the Han family quite worried.
Even Ma Wu, the deputy general of Ma Yuan, is among the twenty-eight generals, and Ma Yuan is certainly qualified.
This is a very important reason, and there is also the emperor's mental technique.
Emperor Guangwu deliberately suppressed Ma Yuan in his later years, because he valued Ma Yuan and the Ma family the most, and wanted to suppress it by himself, and when it came to his son Emperor Ming, he was appointing the descendants of the Ma family.
And the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai were not assessed by Emperor Guangwu, but by his son Emperor Ming Liu Zhuang.
However, if you want to ask Emperor Ming Liu Zhuang why he didn't let Ma Yuan enter Lieyuntai, this is because of another factor.
Because Emperor Ming assessed the 28 generals of Yuntai, excluding relatives.
And the Empress of the Zhenggong of Emperor Ming is the youngest daughter of Ma Yuan, a generation of virtuous queens of the Later Han Dynasty, and Empress Mingde Ma, the adoptive mother of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty.
In addition to the general Fubo Ma Yuan in the Han Dynasty, the Ma family also had Ma Chao, one of the five tiger generals in the Three Kingdoms period, these names have long been known to everyone, and there is no need to repeat them.
In the face of Qin Liangyu's aggressiveness, saying that a chaotic minister and thief like him did not deserve to understand why Ma Xianglin insisted on dying, Sun Kewang laughed at himself.
"What the Metropolitan Governor said is that my grandson is expected to be unworthy, and the Metropolitan Governor came to my front of the battle today to ask the guilt, do you want to prove another word that appeared because of the deeds of your Ma family ancestors, 'old and strong'?
The Metropolitan Governor is not young, and it seems that the anger is even greater, which really makes the kid a little scared. ”
It could be seen from Sun Kewang's words that he was already a little annoyed, but Qin Liangyu snorted expressionlessly:
"Hmph, you should be old and strong, right? At the age of twenty-six, the governor led the troops for the first time to quell the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Banzhou.
With my deceased husband, he rode two horses, broke Yang Yinglong's five battalion formations of 5,000 rebels, and among the 10,000 troops, he cut off the heads of several rebel generals, and then led 500 soldiers to pursue and destroy all 5,000 rebels.
The Eighth Route Army of the Celestial Dynasty put down Yang Yinglong's rebellion, and the governor and the deceased husband ranked first in the South Sichuan Road.
Since that first war, it has been more than 40 years.
Ben Du has fought all his life, and he seems to feel old now, but he rarely hears from others that Ben Du is old.
Ben Du has never tried to defeat in his years, and he is indeed a little curious about the taste of defeat, why don't you kid try it and see if you can defeat the 10,000 white pole soldiers of Ben Du? ”
Qin Liangyu is not bragging, in the past few decades, the white pole soldiers have experienced a defeat, that battle is the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan for the third time, and 30,000 white pole soldiers lost ninety percent in one battle.
It's just that in this battle, the white pole soldiers were not commanded by Qin Liangyu, but Yang Sichang, then a cabinet scholar and secretary of the military department, and Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan.
In the 50 years of the female army god Rongma, among the battles she personally experienced and commanded, if the only painful loss was the battle of the Hunhe River where 3,000 white pole soldiers faced 100,000 full of eight banners.
In that battle, including the two friendly armies of the White Pole Soldiers, the Ming army participated in the battle with less than 10,000 men and horses, but it was attacking an enemy ten times its size.
Although the white pole soldiers retreated in the end, even in the historical materials written by the Qing people, it is not said that Qin Liangyu was defeated.
Because of the Battle of the Hunhe River, the white pole soldiers lost more than 1,000 of them, but they destroyed more than 10,000 elites of the Eight Banners.
"Sun Kewang, you want to say that Bendu is old, but don't forget that a few years ago, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai also said so.
Although in the battle of Kuizhou in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the governor led his troops to rescue Kuizhou, Zhang Xianzhong fled in the wilderness, but I and my son Xiangju set up a pocket formation, and came to a front and back attack.
Half of your Great Western Army was killed by Bentu and my son Xiangju in just one battle, and thus accepted the court's recruitment.
It's no wonder that Bendu has always been short of troops, and he failed to wipe out your Great Western Army in one battle, otherwise how would he wait for the imperial court's recruitment?
