Chapter Seventy-Six: Ma Fang

"Then who do you think would be the more appropriate commander to be the other admiral?" Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Xian and asked lightly.

"There is no suitable candidate for the minister, and His Majesty has to be arbitrary." Liu Xiancai would not be stupid enough to recommend this candidate, so he directly pushed it to Zhu Yijun's side. Doing things is doing things, but there must be a degree, Liu Xian understands it very well in his heart.

At the same time, Liu Xian wants to buy an insurance for himself, it is not good to do it alone, and it is easy to take the blame when there is something, and the two people are different.

Although Zhu Yijun knew Liu Xian's idea, he also felt that Liu Xian's idea was not bad, when Emperor Zhengde was in power, he also divided the Beijing camp into two halls, east and west, which was also a kind of containment.

His own Zuolong Wuwei was only 24,000 people, and after Yu Dayou cleaned it up, there were only 16,000 people.

Long Wu Youwei has not yet said anything, and it is indeed too appropriate to hand over all the 100,000 troops. There are many advantages to being divided into two parts, and they can also be sent out separately for war in the future, thinking of this, Zhu Yijun took a deep look at Liu Xian.

"Okay, your fold will be placed here first, and I'm choosing a commander." Zhu Yijun patted Liu Xian's fold.

Originally, Zhu Yijun wanted to talk to Liu Xian about the measures for the rectification and training of the Beijing camp, but now that there is such a thing, Zhu Yijun can't do this, so he can only wait for that person to arrive, but who is the right candidate for this person!

Liu Xian left, and Zhu Yijun began to wonder who could lead the other part of the Beijing camp?

"Zhang Whale, go and get me a copy of the general military information of the provinces."

Since we can't think of it, let's look for it, maybe we can find a ruthless person. This person must have a high prestige, at least he must have great achievements, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public!

Zhang Whale quickly found the information, Zhu Yijun began to look through it, like Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jiliao, and Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, put them aside, flipped through them, Zhu Yijun's eyes fell on the name of the individual, and then he couldn't move.

This person's name is Ma Fang, the current chief soldier of Xuanfu, and his information is very thick!

Speaking of the general army of Xuanfu, Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered something, this matter was still told to Zhang Jing as an interesting thing to himself.

This happened last year, when Altan demanded a reward from the imperial court and threatened to fight each other. The imperial court immediately appointed Ma Fang to reinstate as the chief soldier of Xuanfu. After Ma Fang arrived, he rectified the soldiers and horses, and led the cavalry to hold several "safaris" on the outskirts of Xuanfu.

When the Mongolian tribes heard the news, they were shocked and said, "Master Matthew has returned." Altan hurriedly apologized to the court for his sins and repented. ”

Ma Fang has the title of "Master Mathew", and he is definitely a well-known figure in the border town.

Zhu Yijun carefully rummaged through his information, and his early experience made Zhu Yijun's eyes narrow.

In the fourth year of Jiajing, the Mongolian Tatar Khan Batu Munk dispatched 100,000 cavalry to carry out a large-scale invasion of Xuanfu and Datong border towns, and the border army of the Ming Dynasty was defeated at the touch of a touch, and the history recorded that "more than ten cities were broken and tens of thousands of people were plundered".

Eight-year-old Ma Fang was also a victim, her family and towns were scorched, her parents were scattered during the flight, and Ma Fang, who was still a child, was captured by the Mongol cavalry.

Since then, he has started a life that is "comparable to Zhongqing's coldness". The young Ma Fang was exiled to the Mongolian steppe and became a riding slave for herding, and for more than ten years, Ma Fang lived a life of slave driven and humiliated.

But Ma Fang is a cheap slave in a foreign land, but endure humiliation, after Ma Fang began to "bend wood for a bow" at a young age, refined riding and archery martial arts, and finally practiced the ability of "arrows without missing hair", in the Mongolian military camp that advocates warriors, his status has also risen.

When he was young, he was hunting with Altan Khan, and suddenly a colorful tiger appeared and attacked Altan.

Everyone fled in panic, but Ma Fang's face did not change, bent his bow and arrows, and killed the tiger on the spot. Altan praised Ma Fang and gave him "a good bow and a good horse". After that, Ma Fang became Altan's "attendant".

In the past few years, he has followed Altan's southern and northern wars, and has not only gradually become familiar with Altan's way of warfare, but also gradually understood the activities and internal weaknesses of the Mongolian tribes. Although Ma Fang was reused by Altan, his heart was in the Ming Dynasty.

In the sixteenth year of Jiajing, Ma Fang took the opportunity of following Altan to hunt on the periphery of Datong, which was close to the border town of the Ming Dynasty, and escaped by stealing horses at night, and fled to the Datong military camp overnight.

From this day on, Ma Fang began his career of fighting for the Ming Dynasty, starting from the captain, repeatedly making military exploits, fighting all the way, and becoming the current Xuanfu General Soldier. Having fought all his life, this man is definitely a legend.

"O man with a high arch!"

Zhu Yijun knocked on the table, this information is from the East Factory, and there is a record of the East Factory behind it.

This section is the weight of Ma Fangshen's high arch, and after the fall of the high arch, Ma Fang was ordered to go home and stay idle, and was not reappointed until last year. The party is the same and the faction fights, Zhu Yijun sighed, sure enough, this kind of thing is indispensable at any time.

"That's it!"

Zhu Yijun will not let a talent like Ma Fang be wasted, and it is just right to put it in the capital. Ma Fang is sixty years old this year, let Li Shizhen recuperate, and she should be able to live for a few more years. Not fighting at the border is also good for his body.

"Order that Ma Fang, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, enter Beijing!" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale and directly ordered: "Let the cabinet draw up the successor." ”

Zhu Yijun is not interested in the candidate for his successor, and now Shanxi and Shaanxi are very stable, and the Tatars can no longer pose any threat to the frontier of the Ming Dynasty. I can't make a fuss for the time being, I don't know how much better it is than Liaodong.

"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Whale nodded and hurriedly agreed.

The person has been selected, Zhu Yijun can be regarded as having a heart disease, Ma Fang is in Xuanfu, and I believe that he will be able to come to the capital soon. Zhu Yijun is not too anxious, he has been waiting for so long, and he is not in a hurry.

"How is the discussion in the capital?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Whale to take down the information, took a sip of the teacup, and asked casually.

"Back to the emperor, everyone is talking about Zhang Ge's return to the dynasty." Zhang Jing bowed down and said: "Some people welcome it, some people oppose it, but the discussion is quite stable, and there are no people who confuse the public for the time being." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, now there are some small fish and shrimp, and he doesn't care.

In fact, the longer this matter ferments, the more beneficial it will be to Zhu Yijun, as long as no one has the opportunity to make trouble, it is not a big deal. Wait until a major minister stands up and says that he is not in a hurry now anyway.

"There's nothing to do today, let's go to Kunning Palace and sit down!" Zhu Yijun was a little bored, so he stood up and said.

Zhang Whale glanced at the folds piled up next to him, this is not okay at all, right? However, the emperor wanted to see the queen, but he didn't have the courage to talk nonsense, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, the emperor!"
