Chapter 1132 Fifty-Five

Ma Shilong looked excited, his hands clenched into fists, Sun Chengzong's pressure has been great recently, and his pressure is even greater. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The identity and status of the Sun Pavilion Department, it is amazing that the yarn hat is used to Lao Tzu is gone, and he is still a big squire when he goes home, and one day the emperor figured it out, and he went back to be the old man of the pavilion with an edict.

But he Ma Shilong is different, if he gets it right, he will resign with his tail between his legs, go home and sit honestly, and if he is not careful, he will be targeted by the magistrate, and the military generals in the township are even more unlikely to have the majesty of civil officials and squires, the difference is too far, if he doesn't get it right, he can be arrested for many years with a random excuse, and he will have to lose his head if he doesn't do it...... Of course, as long as Sun Chengzong is alive, no one will offend the old Sun Tou to death, killing Ma Shilong is equivalent to slapping Sun Chengzong's face, and it is the kind of beating, but Ma Shilong feels that he is very good in the general army of Liaozhen, of course he wants to continue, this battle is not only for Sun Chengzong, but also for himself.

Mao Yuanyi said at this time: "Is what Liu Boqiao said credible?" ”

Ma Shilong said: "Most of it is true. ”

Mao Yuanyi knew that Ma Shilong was bent on fighting, no matter whether what Liu Boqiao said was true or not, it was definitely true that there were not many Jurchen garrisons in Yaozhou. Since you have the opportunity, of course, you still have to give it a try.

The garrison of western Liaoning has more than 100,000 soldiers, more than the entire Jurchen Eight Banners, even if the Mongols and the Han army are added, the soldiers alone are more than the soldiers and horses composed of all the Dingkou of the other party, and the officials in the DPRK do not know the facts, only from the book figures, there has been no movement in Liaoxi in recent years, and it is indeed found the right direction to attack, to say that the recruits, most of the soldiers in the Dongjiang River are recruits, but in the past two years, Mao Wenlong has fought impressively, from a guerrilla all the way to the town for the general Pei general officer, under the scenery of the Dongjiang River is the incompetence of Liaozhen, Although Sun Chengzong was attacked, the pressure on Ma Shilong was also not small.

At that moment, Mao Yuanyi could only arch his hand and say: "Xiaguan wishes the handsome flag a victory." ”

Ma Chengen, Hou Shilu and Li Bingcheng, Jiang Bi and others also gave their wishes, Sun Chengzong's face was indifferent, and his heart was also full of expectations.

Seven thousand soldiers against about 300 old and weak women and children, how to look at this battle can also be a good start, if he wins, his Liaodong strategy will also be stable, with the support of the protégé of the Son of Heaven and the actual record, the eunuch party is not afraid to attack again.

Next, Ma Shilong, Sun Chengzong and others had to discuss the details, and Ma Chengen and others quit and withdrew.

When they walked to the vicinity of the gate, the soldiers went to untie the reins on the horse stone, the team of men and horses had passed through the gate, Ma Chengen and others also had to catch up, they were ready to rush to Yongping Mansion to camp today, because they were all cavalry, and carried a lot of food, so they did not have to wait for the local government to supply food, the speed of the march would be very fast, Ma Chengen did not get the order to go to Beijing to report on his work, he would go directly to the direction of Shandong Town, Hou Shilu and others have their own goals, everyone left after the gate, they are all northwest generals, Ma Chengen parted ways with everyone, and their attitudes were quite affectionate.

Hou Shilu waited for his soldiers to lead the horse over, and he smiled at Ma Chengen: "When will General Ma introduce Zhang Wenlan to me and how about it?" If Zhang Wenlan and I also have a relationship, these uncles in the military department will not dare to idle me this time. ”

"General Hou didn't make fun of it." Ma Chengen said with a smile: "I think my Ma family is also a general, and all generations have served in Jiubian, this time I am transferred to a place like Shandong Town, if the ancestors know, I don't know what they will think of me, a bad descendant." ”

Hou Shilu laughed and said: "What I said is that Zun's grandfather is a general of Datong, Ling Zun is a guerrilla of Xuanfu, and Uncle Ling is even more prominent, for the general soldier of Ningxia, the general soldier of Datong, the general soldier of Liaozhen, the governor of the right capital, and the military general, except that he is not a marquis, he is no worse than Li Chengliang back then." Brother Chengzhi, now the deputy chief military officer of Liao Town, Ling Di Chengzhao, is now a general in Ningxia, Cheng Xun, deputy chief soldier of Jizhen, Cheng Xuan, Tao Min deputy chief military officer, Cheng Zong, deputy chief military officer of Xuanfu, Ma family, are all general soldiers, deputy generals, generals, and generals, all of them are in Jiubian, today only General Ma is transferred to Shandong, the meaning of the imperial court, hehe, it is too obvious. ”

Ma Chengen could only smile bitterly, and it was hard to say anything.

Daming is the most trusted generals, especially the generals of the Beijing division and the nine sides, more trusted, generally the father and ancestors of the general army of the nine sides of the heavy generals, most of their children and grandchildren can also be the general soldiers, at least also deputy generals, generals, guerrilla level. For the Ming court, generations of nobles and generals are more trustworthy than civil eunuchs, in fact, the loyalty of generations of generals is not ordinary generals or civilian officials can compare, with the status of Ma Chengen and Majia, he was transferred from Datong to Yulin general, and then transferred to Jinzhou general, and then transferred to Shandong general, one is not as good as one, Liao affairs are tense and can be said, many generals are transferred to Liaozhen to serve, but transferred to Shandong, the meaning of prevention is quite obvious.

"Brother Hou," Ma Chengen said jokingly: "Your Hou family is also a veteran general, and most of the Ling brothers are deputy generals and generals, if you really want to see Zhang Wenlan, I will definitely help, but I don't care about the trouble after that." ”

"Hey, hey, laughing, laughing."

Even if the generation of generals sees the style, it is impossible to bet at once, Ma Chengen has no way, he was bound to Zhang Han before this, he would not have known that Zhang Han developed so fast, his power expanded so much, and it developed to the point where the court was afraid in a few years, if he had known earlier, with his status as a generation general, it would be impossible to hook up with Zhang Han all of a sudden, he didn't care about himself, his family had already arranged it, one day Zhang Han was reversed, as long as the court had the intention to do it, Ma Chengen has multiple channels to escape, for fear of affecting the entire Ma family, if Zhang Han's rebellion fails, then Ma Chengen feels that his sin will be great.

Fortunately, Zhang Han is very stable, he has focused on operating on the grassland in the past two years, no matter how he says it, he has opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and the resentment of the Ma family is much smaller.

Hou Shilu is also very well-informed about the nine-sided family, plus he is not willing, he is thrown idle by the imperial court, it is okay to have a sentence or two of temptation, but he will never really set foot on the ship of Hutchison at this time, the timing is not right, and the strength is not enough.

"That's right," Hou Shilu changed the topic and said to Ma Chengen: "Brother Ma saw Ma Cangyuan send troops this time, how was the victory or defeat?" ”

"If it's really seven thousand against three hundred, you can win no matter how you fight." Ma Chengen pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "But the Jurchens are not dead people, as long as they find movement, they will also try to meet the battle, the battlefield changes quickly, the first move wins, even if they don't win, they can protect themselves." ”

"I understand what Brother Ma means." Hou Shilu said: "There are different minds from top to bottom in western Liaoning, the generals are not in agreement, most of the battalions are new soldiers, and the soldiers are expensive and fast. ”

"Well, so it's between five and five." Ma Chengen took the reins of the horse brought by his own soldiers, turned over on the horse, and said goodbye to Hou Shilu.

"Treasure a lot." Hou Shilu said: "Liao affairs are not optimistic, maybe in two years, we will partner again." ”

"I wish there wasn't such a day." Ma Chengen sighed. In fact, he didn't have much resistance to being transferred to Shandong, although his status was not as important as in Liaodong, but Liaodong was in danger of fighting here, and if he was not careful, he would be defeated and killed.

"I can't say for sure." Hou Shilu laughed heroically, no matter how much he was careful and selfish, when he really wanted to fight Dongyu for Daming, the good sons of the Hou family would never pretend to be a bad seed.

Ma Chengen is actually a little envious, the people of the Hou family are indeed much simpler than themselves, the temptation of just one or two sentences is already the limit of the Hou family, this is a family that likes allegiance and does not like conspiracy, there may be times in order to protect themselves and the continuation of the family have to make some considerations, but more often, this pure military family still likes to fight immediately, with blood and sweat to earn fame and wealth, but in this era, the development of many things is not transferred by human will at all, under the tide of the times, Any family can only follow the trend, and if they are not careful, they will be smashed by the waves, and it is difficult to say what will happen to the Hou family in the future.

……

When Liu Boqiao returned to the arranged accommodation, he seemed to be calm, but in fact, he was already stumbling when he walked.

His back was soaked with sweat, but fortunately, in the middle of summer, many people were sweating through heavy clothes, so his appearance was not too conspicuous, but his face was pale and his sideburns were full of beads of sweat, which was quite abnormal.

After entering the house, Liu Boqiao wiped the sweat from his face and hair with a towel for the first time, and then stood in place for a while.

He lived in a small courtyard with one entrance, and the people who lived near the gate were dignitaries and wealthy families, there were hundreds of thousands of people crowded inside and outside the gate, all of them were fugitives from Liaodong, and the housing was once quite tight, and many people who used to have a solid family could only live in the open air, and then slowly diverted out, Sun Chengzong began to engage in Tuntian after he arrived in western Liaoning, and recovered hundreds of miles of lost land, and many ordinary people went to Ningyuan to go to Tuntian to farm, and of course they moved there to live and settle down.

If Liu Boqiao's small courtyard had not been vacated a few years ago, he would have to pay quite expensive rent even now, but fortunately, he brought dozens of taels of silver and a few taels of gold ornaments with him when he fled, and he didn't have to worry about starvation for a while, but in the long run, I am afraid that he will not be able to make ends meet.

Family and friends have been separated, Liu Boqiao walked to the door, and saw a few men in strong suits sitting in the distance, he knew that the general soldiers were sent to monitor him, Liu Boqiao was nervous again, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down like a stream.

At this time, he saw a man wearing a gauze hat and a round-necked blue robe walking calmly, and there were a few gray-headed attachés behind him, and five or six people arrived at the gate of the small courtyard and walked in directly.

"The waiter will meet Mr. Yao." Liu Boqiao didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked to the courtyard, and bowed deeply. If it weren't for the fear of losing his dignity, he would have been eager to kneel on the ground and kowtow in order to show his respect.
