Chapter 61: The Divisive Meter

In order to consolidate his rule, Longwu compromised in many places. The small court of Changsha can even be called the small court of Hunan.

It's not that Longwu wants to crowd out officials from other places, first, the Ming Dynasty has become like this, and there are very few officials who have really come all the way to Changsha. Except for the officials who have been withdrawing from the small court of Wuchang, there are actually not many officials in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Second, in order to find a way to strengthen his own strength, Longwu won local support. I had to give the policy of the gentry in Hunan to win their support.

As a result, such a situation has been formed.

There are pros and cons to this.

The benefit was simple, consolidating the rule of the small court in Changsha. Otherwise, the small court of Changsha would not be able to support hundreds of thousands of troops.

But now it's being backlashed.

There is no other reason, the essence of Hunan is along the coast of Dongting Lake, the Xiangjiang River Basin, and Zhang Xuan retreated the battle line to Changsha City, and many places fell into the hands of Great Xia, and many of the families of the civil and military officials present were under the rule of the Xia army.

They don't dare not leave some way back for their families, this kind of determination to kill the messenger, Longwu may have. Long Wu has long had the intention of being incompatible with the Xia army, but these officials under his command do not.

Seeing this, Hu Tang calmed down and said, "When the foreign minister came, he had already put his life out of the way. What Your Majesty wants to do, the foreign ministers will listen to it. ”

Longwu didn't speak for a while.

Ma Shiying said: "Your Majesty, you must not lose the bearing of a great country. ”

Ma Shiying's pain of losing her son is simply heart-wrenching. Ma Luan was not only his son, but also the heir to his career, otherwise he would not have been placed in such an important position. Think of a person the size of a lump of meat, grow into a man who can support a portal in a few decades, and then turn into a human head in a wooden box.

Ma Shiying couldn't wait to die, why wasn't he the one who died.

However, as the first and auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty and the representative of civil officials, he cannot go against the will of the people. It can't even disobey the internal voice of the Ma family.

The Ma family in Guiyang is a big family, and although Ma Shiying's branch is prominent, it is only one of them. Although the various branches of the Ma family cannot talk about generations of ministers, Ma Shiying is not the only one who is an official. And now there are not many people from the Ma family in Guiyang who take refuge in Ma Shiying's side.

Although Ma Jiali can't reach the reason, but there is also a two-sided bet.

The family and the country are all over the world, the family and the country are all over the world, Ma Shiying is certainly a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he is willing to die for the Ming Dynasty, not only because he has deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty, but that things have come to this point, his life's career is on the Ming Court, even if he surrenders to his dynasty, his name is so high, can he be above the first assistant?

Whether it is morally or professionally, he has never

The possibility of betrayal.

But after all, home is before the country. He can be decisive, but he can't help but think about the Ma family in Guiyang. If it weren't for Ma Luan's head, he might not have been able to take a stand, but now he had to.

Ma Luan's death made him feel heartbroken. But if you think about it carefully, the two armies fought with their own masters, and the soldiers were defeated and died, and they just sought benevolence. As a father, although he was saddened by the death of his eldest son, he may not be willing to abscond, or surrender to a thief.

Since the scholar has been studying, he has learned the word loyalty.

However, Longwu killed the envoy of the Xia army because of the death of Ma Luan, if this matter is involved, I am afraid that the Ma family and the Xia Dynasty should be a national enemy. Add family hatred again. This is something he doesn't want to see.

This plain sentence, biting into the mouth, is almost blood, but it still has to be said.

Longwu said, "Take this person down." ”

Then he brushed his sleeves and left.

A great feast ended unhappily.

The atmosphere of panic spread throughout Changsha City.

After Longwu went back, he felt very powerless for a while.

His powerlessness is not only in Ma Luan, Li Guo's department was destroyed, Gao Yigong's department was unstable, and his arms were broken in one day. is even more because of the vacillation of civil and military officials, and even Ma Shiying. Longwu is not a fool, how can he not see the secret thoughts of these civil officials.

In an instant, he finally understood Sun Quan's original thoughts.

Everyone in the world can descend. He is the only one who cannot descend.

"No, there's a problem here." Long Wu said: "If General Gao Yigong has surrendered, the best way for the Xia thief is to let Gao Yigong go to Changsha City." Earn the city. And not such a fanfare announcement. ”

"There's got to be a problem."

"Perhaps, Gao Yigong's side is already unstable. But Xia Jun has not yet succeeded. ”

Long Wu thought for a moment, then figured out the joints, and for a while seemed to see the dawn of hope, and immediately said: "Lord Chuanma is here." ”

Ma Shiying seemed to have known that Longwu was going to see him, and he had been waiting outside for a long time.

However, the pain of losing a child did not leave traces on him. Ma Shiying's official robe has not been changed, but it gives people the feeling that he has aged many years out of thin air, and his every move has slowed down, giving people a feeling of old age.

It was as if the years were speeding up in his body in an instant.

When Long Wu saw Ma Shiying, he also sighed slightly in his heart and said, "The elder is mourning. I shouldn't have bothered the Pavilion ---- at this time."

"Your Majesty." Ma Shiying said: "The minister understands that the minister is burdened by the social and cannot tolerate the private feelings of his children, and His Majesty summoned the minister to think that if he faces Xia Jun." ”

Longwu said: "Exactly. ”

"Now the people of the city are afraid, but this is not the time for war." Ma Shiying said: "The minister, please calm down for a while. Wait for the news of the high school. ”

When Long Wu heard this, his heart suddenly calmed down a little, and said, "Master Ma also thinks that Gao Qing did not betray me? ”

Ma Shiying said: "This is the case, and the minister can't figure it out for a while, but today's envoy of the Xia army, above the court, is a little too deliberate. It's just that the minister also asks His Majesty to be mentally prepared. ”

Ma Shiying is not sure whether Gao Yigong has defected now, but he has an estimate of what will happen to Gao Yigong in the future. In Ma Shiying's view, Gao Yigong is simply incompatible with the imperial court, but he has too many similarities with Xia Jun.

For the choice of a high merit in the future. Ma Shiying is pessimistic.

Long Wu also knew this, and said, "No matter what, I can't sit still. I am ready to order the conscription of King Qin's army again. There is also a heavy minister who is sent to comfort General Gao. ”

However, Longwu also knew that he couldn't recruit too many troops, and he used the entire army in Hunan that could be used. He thought for a moment and said, "I once again urge Duke Zhang to return to his teacher and recruit Duke Fan to return to his master. ”

Ma Shiying sighed slightly, he knew that this was almost impossible, after all, Zhang Kuang confronted Zhang Yingyuan, Zhang Kuang came back, and it was likely that Zhang Yingyuan's department would be followed by his butt, as for Fan Yixuan's Sichuan army. It's not that Ma Shiying underestimated Fan Yixing.

The Sichuan army has long been disrupted by Zhang Xianzhong.

Now although the various ministries belong to the Ming Dynasty, they are actually small warlords, and Fan Yixuan can lead them because he takes advantage of the contradictions between them and Zhang Xianzhong. This is the only way for them to be useful, as for the thousands of miles to transfer the Sichuan army out of their lair.

This warlord, who will do it, who will do it.

Ma Shiying said: "The minister's family has an old relationship with the Tusi in Guizhou, and the minister will find a way to mobilize Miao soldiers, and please rest assured, but I just urge the two supervisors to go back to the division, but we must be cautious and not mess up." On the side of Gao Yigong, I still believe in Master Wen. ”

Heavy ministers, Wen Anzhi deserves these two words, and in Changsha City, there are not many people who are above Wen Anzhi. Send some more, it should be useless, and it will not be useful. Far water can't save the near fire, and now how high the first skill is, we can only see what Wen Anzhi does.

Long Wu arranged everything, carefully scrutinized his chips, but found that the cards that could be played were all played, and in many places, all he could do was wait for the result. He smiled bitterly and said, "Ma Gong, am I very useless. ”

Ma Shiying bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and now this situation is a disaster that began with the Divine Sect, was longer than the Yizong, and was defeated by the first emperor, which is not Your Majesty's fault." Your Majesty only needs to be sincere, open up your voice, and recruit good talents from all over the world, and you will definitely be able to turn the tide. ZTE Daming. ”

Long Wu smiled lightly and said, "I hope so." ”
