Chapter 63: Ma Jinzhong

"Who is so bold?! Dare to break into my village? Mo Li was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Report to the deputy commander, the person who came claimed to be Ma Jinzhong, said that he was here to vote for my Heiyun Village, and he brought ten people." The soldier who came to report the news gasped.

"Ma Jinzhong?" Mo Li couldn't remember where he had heard this name for a while, and he was a little familiar. However, since he can bring dozens of people to the cottage, it shows that he at least has some ability. So he waved his hand and said, "Since they are here to join us, then invite them in as usual!" ”

Since the surrender of Ba Laodao, there have been some small cottages and some poor people who can't survive in the vicinity from time to time to join Heiyun Village and join the Weiming Revival Army, so Mo Li doesn't take this Ma Jinzhong very seriously.

"Lord Deputy Commander," the soldier said with some hesitation, "This Ma Jinzhong said that he wants you to meet him in person, and after returning to him a few questions, he is willing to enter the Zhaimen and join the Fuxing Army." ”

What the? Who is this Ma Jinzhong, a great god who is such a dick? Mo Li was a little surprised. "What is the origin of this Ma Jinzhong? Is the shelf still so big? Moli turned to the audience and asked.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had not heard of this man. Suddenly, Cheng Qingzhu patted his head and said, "Oops! Look at my brain! This Ma Jinzhong, I seem to have had a friend with him last year, that is, a group of little thieves, but Ma Jinzhong is still quite righteous, and he is born with divine power, right! He often acts in the area of Taihang Mountain, and he has a nickname of what, mixed 100,000! Yes, that's him! ”

Mixed 100,000 Ma Jinzhong? Mo Li finally remembered that Ma Jinzhong in history was the leader of the peasant rebel army, and Chongzhen was defeated by Zuo Liangyu at Zhenping Pass in the eleventh year, and then surrendered to the left.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zuo Mengeng, the son of Zuo Liangyu, led his troops to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Ma Jinzhong did not obey and led his troops to continue to fight against the Qing army in Hunan, and won many victories. Later, after Zhang Xianzhong's death, he joined forces with Zhang Jiubu to resist the Qing Dynasty, followed Li Dingguo to recover Guilin, Changsha and other places, and made many military exploits. In the end, the Qing army entered Guizhou, and Ma Jinzhong withdrew to Yunnan, where he died of illness. His life can be regarded as iron-clad, and he deserves to be a good son of the Han family.

Since it's a character, I'll meet him and see what he has to ask.

Mo Li immediately took Guan Feng, Lin Guo, Cheng Qingzhu and others to Zhaimen.

Outside the gate of the village, Ma Jinzhong and ten men were waiting a little impatiently, and when they saw someone coming out of the village, they suddenly came to their senses.

Ma Jinzhong was about 25 or 6 years old, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a wide mouth and an extremely tall body, close to two meters in modern terms, and very powerful. When he saw Mo Li and the others walking out of the walled gate, he couldn't help but look at Mo Li suspiciously, clasped his fists and said: "In getting off the horse and entering the loyalty, people call it a mixed 100,000, I don't know how this brother is called?" ”

Although this Ma Jinzhong was born rude, he spoke quite measuredly, although he saw that Mo Li was very young, he was a little puzzled in his heart, what he asked to see was the current head of Heiyunzhai, the leader of the revival army, how did he come out of such a young little hairy head? He looks six or seven years younger than himself. Although he was puzzled, he did not mean to despise it, and his words were very polite.

Mo Li returned with a salute and said with a smile: "Brother Ma is here, the humble house is really brilliant!" The younger brother Moli has seen Brother Ma. ”

"What? Are you Moli? Ma Jinzhong was taken aback, he had already inquired before he came, the actual leader of the revival army was Mo Li, what he didn't expect was that this Mo Li was so young, which greatly surprised him.

"Brother Ma has also heard of Mo Li's thin name?" Mo Li said with a smile.

"Haha, the name of the Moli brothers is so loud now! It's just that I never thought that Brother Moli was so young, he was really a hero! But I'm a rough man, I don't know anything, I want to ask Brother Moli! Ma Jinzhong said.

"Brother Ma, please speak."

"I heard that the Moli brothers once killed the Tartars in Liaodong, and they also killed the Tartars so defeated that even the slave head Emperor Taiji had to withdraw his troops, I don't know if it's true?"

"Hehe, there is this thing, but it is not the work of my Mo Li, it is thanks to the brothers on the front line of Liaodong who worked together to kill the enemy, which kept Jinzhou and drove away Huang Taiji." Mo Li smiled slightly.

Ma Jinzhong was a little suspicious, and said: "Brother Moli doesn't have to be too humble, although I am from Shaanxi, but I was also in the army in Liaodong eight years ago, and I also fought with the Tartars, the Tartar soldiers are indeed better than my Ming soldiers, over the years, we have almost never won the battle with the Tartars, but how did the Moli brothers defeat the Tartar army?" ”

"This ......" pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Ma doesn't believe what Mo Li said? Actually, what did we rely on to defeat Brother Tartar Ma, you can see when you come in. Please! ”

Ma Jinzhong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" Since Brother Moli sincerely invited, then Ma will be a guest at will! ”

The group talked as they walked and came to the stockade. Along the way, Ma Jinzhong looked east and west like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. Because Ba Laodao led hundreds of people from Qinglong Village to enter Heiyun Village, the original room was no longer enough to live, so Mo Li asked people to build a neat row of barracks next to the original house, which was connected with the original house, and the scale was very grand.

The barracks were still under construction, but the amazing thing was that the material used was not a bamboo or wood structure, nor did it look like a mud brick wall, but a huge black, long stone-like brick, which looked neat.

Ma Jinzhong couldn't help but ask, "Brother Moli, are you building a house?" What's that long black thing? ”

Mo Li smiled and said, "That's a new product we just made, cement bricks!" ”

"Cement bricks? What is cement? Ma Jinzhong was puzzled.

"Cement is a great new building material, strong and durable." Mo Li knew that he couldn't explain it to him too clearly, in fact, it was Du Geng and Ba Laodao, and they didn't know how Mo Li's cement bricks came from? How did he invent cement?

After coming to Heiyun Village, because of the expansion of people and horses, more barracks need to be built, Moli remembered the cement used to build houses in later generations, which was durable and efficient, and then wondered if he could develop cement.

After some investigation, it was found that there were all kinds of raw materials for the production of cement, so they tinkered with it and produced the first batch of cement. Moli also plans to expand the scale of cement production, producing more cement to sell to various places, especially in Liaodong, facing the first line of defense of the Tartars, many city fortifications need to be strengthened and thickened, with cement, the progress can be greatly improved.

Especially the Dalinghe City that is about to be rebuilt, if it can be built as soon as possible, it is unknown that He Kegang's fate may change from now on. Mo Li had a good impression of He Kegang, he didn't want He Kegang to die in Daling River like in history.

Ma Jinzhong walked over and touched the cement brick, and exclaimed: "This cement brick is really strong, Brother Moli, how did you come up with this thing?" ”
