Ma Shiying is a native of Guiyang, but the ancestor of the Ma family is not a Guiyang sitting cannon, the ancestor of the Ma family Ma Cheng is a real person in Huainan Yi, in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Ma Cheng was also similar to ordinary people, everyone in the family starved to death, Ma Cheng had no choice but to take refuge in his fellow countrymen, Zhu Chongba, right! It was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Cheng followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the north and south and made countless contributions, and finally followed Fu Youde into Yunnan and Guizhou, and Ma Cheng stayed in Guiyang and took root, becoming the commander of Guizhou Wei.

This Ma Cheng is the direct ancestor of Ma Shiying, of course, the Ma family was only a military household at the beginning, although it was a high-level military household, it was essentially no different, and it had no status in the officialdom dominated by civilian officials.

The Ma family really mixed into the Shiren group from Ma Shiying's grandfather Ma Yunlong, the old Ma Tou knew that this society is different now, although the soldiers do not worry about food and clothing, but the political status is not at all, that is, Ma Yunlong has a hereditary commander and knows from the official position of Wupin as a backer, and he has to kneel and kowtow when he sees an ordinary county order.

Therefore, Ma Yunlong made up his mind to let his sons study poetry and books hard to strive to enter the upper ruling group.

Ma Yunlong has a total of six sons, the eldest son Ma Shunqing is not good at studying, and inherits Ma Yunlong's hereditary title at home, and the other five sons are born, and there are three of these five sons, among which Ma Shiying's son Ma Mingqing is the most powerful, and he became an official in Jinning Prefect. The prefect of the Ming Dynasty and the prefect of the Qing Dynasty are still different, the prefect of the Ming Dynasty is the fourth grade, which is one level higher than the governor, which is already a high-ranking official of the fourth grade.

The Ma family has officially taken off the military since Ma Yunlong and has become a scholar group, and the second generation has produced three lifters, and the third generation is even more incredible, with two jinshi, namely Ma Shiying and Ma Shisheng. One family, three people, two jinshi, the Ma family has become a prominent family in Guiyang City at this time.

Ma Cheng listened to Gu San's narration of the history of the Ma family and sighed in his heart, it turned out that the growth of that family was not easy to obtain, and Ma Shiying's ability to have today is inseparable from the efforts of the ancestors of the Ma family in the past dynasties.

"Okay, Gu San, tell me about my grandfather's family, is it also a meritorious person?" Ma Cheng has just traveled to this era, eager to understand the strength of his family, after all, the end of the Ming Dynasty is a troubled era, and it is simply unrealistic for one person to get ahead, the safest way is to rely on the strength of the family.

Gu San heard Ma Cheng ask, and hurriedly said: "Second master, the Gu family naturally understands how the villain is, the villain's family has been the Gu family's personal soldiers for generations, and my father also blocked an arrow for the old lady Gu back then!" ”

Ma Cheng's cheap old lady's maiden Gu family is not ordinary, Ma Cheng, the ancestor of the Ma family, can only be said to be an anti-Japanese cadre, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he will give you the identity of a provincial military commander , but Gu Cheng, the ancestor of the Gu family, is a Long March cadre who started with Zhu Yuanzhang, because this Gu Cheng was Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldier back then.

Gu Cheng participated in Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising team very early, served as a general of the expedition to the south after Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, followed Fu Youde on an expedition to Yunnan and Guizhou, and was stationed here in Guizhou for more than ten years. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Gu Cheng became the governor of the left capital, and also participated in the Battle of Jingyan, and after Zhu Di's success in Jingnan, Gu became the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

In the Chongzhen period, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has been passed down for nine generations, and the contemporary Marquis of Zhenyuan is Uncle Ma Cheng's grandfather Gu Zhaoji, but a few months ago there was news from Beijing that the ninth generation of Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Zhaoji died in Deshengmen in Beijing. Ma Cheng's uncle Gu Congxin's ancestor was the concubine of Gu Cheng, the first generation of Zhenyuan Marquis, who did not follow Gu Cheng back to Nanjing, but stayed in Guizhou to take root. In addition to Gu Congxin's family in Guizhou, there are several Gu clans, Anshun Gu and Guiyang Gu are both descendants of Gu Cheng back then.

The Ma family and the Gu family are because of the friendship of their ancestors, and since Ma Shiying's grandfather, the Ma family has taken off the military status and become a scholarly family, so the Gu and Ma families have their own needs, the Ma family needs the identity of the Gu family, and the Gu family also needs the energy of the Ma family's officialdom, so since Ma Shiying's grandfather, the two families have begun to marry, Ma Shiying's aunt married the previous generation of Guizhou Wei commander Gu Zhaoxing, that is, the Gu family and Gu Congxin's old son, so Ma Shiying and Gu are cousins.

Ma Cheng heard Gu San say this, and hurriedly looked down at his body, fortunately, there was no defect, it seemed that the marriage of close relatives had little impact on him.

As for this Gu San, it is simple, the ancestors of his family were soldiers for the Gu family during the orthodox years, and in the generation of Gu San's father, he died for Gu Zhaoxing in the An Rebellion in Shuixi, Guizhou, which followed Gu Zhaoxing to pacify Guizhou, so Gu San Mengyin got a hereditary position of one hundred households.

At this time, Gu San had already departed from the original intention of telling the history of the Gu family, and completely became boastful, saying for a while how capable he was of that dead ghost Lao Tzu, and then talking about how he himself followed Gu Congxin to fight those Yi people.

Ma Cheng originally wanted to ask Gu San if he would train soldiers, but where did he think that this guy didn't say a useful word for a long time, Ma Cheng scolded: "Okay Gu San, the master asked you if you can train soldiers?" ”

Gu San opened his goldfish eyes and thought for a long time and said, "Second master, the little one won't!" My father didn't teach me back then, when I was fifteen years old, my father only gave me a steel knife, and then I became the eldest young master's personal soldier. ”

Ma Cheng sighed when he heard this, he originally wanted to plan for future development, but he had no clue at all. Looking at the few big characters written on the rice paper, steel, gunpowder, and training, Ma Cheng sighed and rubbed his forehead with his hand.

Gu San was illiterate, but even if he was literate, he couldn't read the simplified Chinese characters written by Ma Cheng. However, just now Ma Cheng asked him about military training, and Gu San thought that the second master was going to train his own troops to deal with Lu Zhenshou's nephew Lu Siye.

Gu San has been taking care of Ma Cheng for several years, so he naturally has feelings for this young man, and now seeing that the second master has a headache, he hurriedly said: "Second master, don't you rely on Lu Siye to be Lu Jiude's nephew?" When the master comes back, the little one will go to find a hundred personal soldiers and promise to beat Lu Siye's subordinates! The master's five hundred guards are not simple, the elites who rolled out of the pile of dead people back then, many of them were still comrades-in-arms with the younger ones, and they wanted to fight with the eldest young master back then..."

Ma Cheng already had a headache, and now when he heard Gu San bragging about how brave he was back then, Ma Cheng really lacked patience and scolded: "Gu San, Lao Tzu has a headache, you get out of me!" ”

Gu San saw that Ma Cheng was angry, and he didn't dare to blow it anymore, so he had to leave in disgrace. Ma Cheng had a headache, so he had no choice but to lie on the bed and look at Fang Liang in a daze.

Ma Cheng looked at the carved step bed and thought in his heart: People have crossed either with a system, a computer, or a warehouse, and the most unfortunate is also a doctor of metallurgical machinery, a bunch of all kinds of gold fingers and golden thighs, and if you want to hug that, you can hug that. I'm good, and I'm from a good background, but Lao Tzu is a eunuch, not to mention that his reputation is not much better. As for the knowledge learned in the previous life, the computer major is useless in this era without electricity, and after graduation, he will forget all the professional knowledge he has learned.

Of course, Ma Cheng is not nothing, at least he likes to read novels, and the novels of the late Ming Dynasty in the later generations are rotten on the street, although it is useless to read it, but Ma Cheng still knows the basic context of Nanming. Ma Cheng remembered that Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty seemed to have only been the emperor for one year, and then Emperor Yongli came to power, and finally this unlucky emperor was killed by Wu Sangui.

Thinking of this, Ma Cheng thought to himself, there is really no way out, it is better to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, there is no moral burden in his heart for surrendering Ma Cheng, he thought about being a male prostitute in order to make a living, if it weren't for the lack of appearance, a male prostitute would also be a good career.

But Ma Cheng thought of the fate of the cheap Lao Tzu Ma Shiying and had no bottom for the surrender, you must know that Ma Shiying was picked up by Duoduo in the end, although there is an element of Ma Shiying who would rather die than give in, but the surrender faction of the Donglin Party behind it also played a role.

Ma Cheng is Ma Shiying's son, Lao Tzu has been skinned, can his son be okay? Thinking of this, Ma Cheng couldn't help but die of surrender. Ma Cheng thought about it for a long time and didn't think about what to do, so he had no choice but to make up the idea that living a day is a day, so he got a boat to go to Japan.

Ma Cheng was tired and tired just after crossing over, coupled with the injury on his head, he fell asleep after thinking for a while.
