Chapter Seventy-Nine: Sincere Cooperation

Tan Tai sent Huang Shu to question Ma Guozhu, Ma Guozhu didn't know how to answer, but Xiong Lichun persuaded him to admit all the responsibility.

Su Jin was immediately annoyed and shouted, "What nonsense? It's all this time, and I have to make trouble for Lord Governor! ”

In the past few days, he has repeatedly figured it out, and he has already understood Ma Guozhu's intentions, whether it is Jilong Mountain or Xinjian Town, if he loses the battle, he must first take himself out, and he must not top the tank for others. You must know that the battlefield is all involved in the whole body, if you admit that the loss of Jilong Mountain and Xinjian Town is Ma Guozhu's responsibility, there will be a series of basins on his head later, and even become the scapegoat for the entire Nanchang battle, even if you are the governor of Jiangnan, Ma Guozhu can't bear such a strict charge.

Xiong Lichun didn't even understand such a simple truth, of course Su Jin had to seize the opportunity and stomp on his feet. This surnamed Xiong has been in the limelight recently, like a thorn in the flesh, and Su Jin has long looked at him unpleasantly.

Seeing that he was rushing to speak and pointing fingers, Ma Guozhu's face immediately sank, but he also had the same question in his heart, so he didn't stop Su Jin, just stared at Xiong Lichun.

Xiong Lichun didn't look angry at all, and said respectfully: "The last general just thinks that Jilong Mountain and Xinjian Town have lost the battle, and they will definitely not be able to hide it, since the general asked, he might as well tell the truth." ”

Tian You next to him was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously repeated, but it turned into a questioning tone: "What?" Honestly? ”

Tian You was in charge of direct contact with Tan Tai, and Tan Tai had told him well, but Ma Guozhu suddenly turned his face after arriving in Fengcheng County. Not only is Tian You's very passive, but he is also confused, not knowing what went wrong.

Ma Guozhu's face became more and more ugly. What does it mean to tell the truth? Isn't this self-defeating?

Xiong Lichun smiled: "To tell the truth, it's actually not right, it should be said more strictly, the stricter the better, just take over the responsibility for the loss of Jilong Mountain and Xinjian Town, and see how the general deals with ......it."

……

Tan Tai's attitude towards Ma Guozhu changed back and forth, and it was as warm as spring for a while. For a while, it will be as cold as winter, and it seems inexplicable on the surface, but in fact, it is all turning with the shape of the battlefield.

When I heard that Ma Guozhu fought a rare victory. In order to get the captured equipment and materials, Tan Tai had kind words for Ma Guozhu, and tried to stabilize him first, but he placed greater hopes on Tun Buer's body.

After the siege of Nanchang. Tan Tai had already made up his mind. It is necessary to follow Bolo's lie about his military exploits and say that the defeat is a victory, at least it is a situation of no victory or defeat, or a situation of victory and defeat, and the Qing army is just transferring to the Jiujiang strategy.

Since there are victories and defeats, you have to have specific records, but unfortunately the Qing army has been defeated again and again, and the only thing that can be done is the victory fought by Ma Guozhu. But. Ma Guozhu's subordinates are all Jiangnan Green Battalion, and they belong to the guest army who came to help. They won the battle, and it was not as convincing as the Eight Banners themselves to win the battle.

To his disappointment, Tun Bu'er fought bloody battles repeatedly, almost using his strength to eat, and finally failed to eliminate the Yuezhou camp, so he seemed very passive in front of Ma Guozhu.

The Qing troops participating in this battle must cooperate sincerely, advance and retreat together, and maintain the same caliber at all times. Tan Tai is not worried about whether he can do this, and the only uncertainties are Ma Guozhu and his Jiangnan Green Camp.

What if Ma Guozhu is timid and afraid of things and doesn't dare to do it?

What if Ma Guozhu makes any excessive demands and can't be even?

What if Ma Guozhu hides his back hand and pinchs his pigtails in the future?

In case Ma Guozhu ......

The more Tan Tai thought about it, the more worried he became, if Ma Guozhu didn't cooperate, let alone make trouble to the point of chickens and eggs, he was only secretly pinching his pigtails, and he wouldn't want to sleep peacefully in the future.

In any case, drag the horse pillar into the water!

However, Tunbur lost the battle, and the only victory was fought by Ma Guozhu, in a sense, Ma Guozhu had successfully landed, and there was no need to take such a big risk.

In addition, the 100,000 Qing army only relied on the Jiangnan Green Battalion to win a battle, but the Eight Banners lost their troops and lost their generals, and they did not build an inch, no matter what, Tan Tai must fabricate a big victory that was not in vain, and use the equipment and materials captured by Ma Guozhu to put the credit on the heads of the Eight Banners. If it were replaced by someone else, Tan Tai would grab the credit like this, and if he robbed it, he would rob it, and he was not afraid that those small fish and shrimp would be able to turn the sky upside down, but Ma Guozhu was not a small fish and shrimp, but a dignified governor of Jiangnan, and Tan Tai couldn't suppress him with just the title of a general who conquered the south.

Not only to drag him into the water, but also to eat black and eat black, the difficulty is not ordinary!

At the critical moment, Huang Shu offered a plan, the so-called first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers, the general first pinched Ma Guozhu's pigtail, and he was not afraid that Ma Guozhu would pinch the general's pigtail.

"Good! Mr. Huang is really smart! ”

Tan Tai stretched out one hand to the back of his head, stroked the money rat tail pigtail, and praised Huang Shu repeatedly. For a general like him who can fight well, it is not too simple to find a few faults for Ma Guozhu, and after reading the military intelligence report again, he found a lot of doubts from several battles such as Jilong Mountain and Xinjian Town.

Huang Shu offered his plan again, he must hold on to these doubts, give Ma Guozhu a dismount, first beat his arrogance, and then let the general rub it. Tan Tai thought so, and when Ma Guozhu arrived in Fengcheng County, he avoided it, but ordered Huang Shu to question him severely.

According to Tan Tai and Huang Shu's wishful thinking, Ma Guozhu will inevitably try his best to defend himself, but in front of a professional like Tan Tai, he will inevitably be refuted and desperate, and then suddenly let him live, and then give him a little sweetness, not afraid that he will not go into the water, and he will not cooperate......

The development of events was unexpected!

Ma Guozhu not only did not have a word of defense, but also took the responsibility for the loss of Jilong Mountain and Xinjian Town on himself, claiming that he wanted to commit suicide to apologize, but he was so guilty that he didn't dare to die, and he also took out two letters of plea that had been written a long time ago, and asked Tan Tai to transfer them to Emperor Shunzhi and Dolgon on his behalf.

Ma Guozhu's subtext is obvious, everyone will die together. If you dare to make things difficult for me, I will poke out all of them, the battle of Nanchang will be lost, and your Tan Tai will have greater responsibility, if you die first, I may not die!

I've met a single!

Tan Tai was so angry that he smoked, but he was helpless. As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, Ma Guozhu doesn't care about playing scoundrels, Tan Tai is really afraid that he will make things big and out of control.

If you stab all the qiē away, Ma Guozhu will not be able to fall well, but Tan Tai will be even more troublesome, especially Dolgon, who will be implicated. The shape of the court is now very delicate, if the defeat of the Battle of Nanchang is announced at this juncture, it is by no means a simple military issue, but it is likely to cause violent turmoil in the court, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will fight to the death, blood will flow like a river, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will be ruined.

As Dolgon's sworn friend, Tan Tai must not cause trouble for him, the battle of Nanchang was obviously lost, and he had to fight to the death and say that he won the battle, in order to avoid goofs, the only way is to appease Ma Guozhu.

Suddenly, Tan Tai's attitude took another 180-degree turn, and he personally visited the door to apologize to Ma Guozhu, claiming that he was deceived and instigated by the villain, so he would have a misunderstanding with Ma Dufu, but now it has been found out that the loss of Jilong Mountain and Xinjian Town is due to the unfavorable cooperation of friendly forces, and Ma Guozhu has no responsibility.

Staring at his eyes and talking nonsense like this, Tan Tai still has some psychological burden, you also say good things, and you say bad things, as long as Ma Guozhu is more serious, he can expose his face with one sentence, so that everyone can't get off the stage. He hesitated and didn't want to come, but Huang Shu repeatedly assured that as long as the general handed a ladder over, Ma Dufu would definitely get off the donkey down the slope, and there was absolutely no need to worry.

Facts have proved that Huang Shu's prediction is very correct, Tan Tai and Ma Guozhu hit it off, the two not only released their previous suspicions, but also reached a cooperation agreement to advance and retreat together, the two of them together to the Qing court, claiming that the Battle of Nanchang has achieved a phased victory, the Ming army has been hit hard, but is still desperately resisting, in order to ensure that the enemy can be defeated in one fell swoop, the Qing army temporarily retreated to Jiujiang to rest, and wait until the beginning of spring next year to launch the second phase of the offensive, Yunyun......

No matter when and where, as long as the battle is won, the Eight Banners are of course the protagonists, and so many Eight Banners disciples also need to be left behind in order to form a huge community of interests and keep the secret of lying about their achievements. So Ma Guozhu generously gave up all the captured equipment, all handed over to Tan Tai to deal with, Tan Tai reported to the Qing court, the first stage of the Nanchang Battle ended with the "Fengcheng Victory", a total of more than 36,000 Ming troops were annihilated, more than 12,000 beheaded, because there were too many heads and captured materials, only a small part of them could be selected and sent to Beijing, and the rest were in Jiujiang, so the imperial court sent someone to inspect it......

As compensation, Ma Guozhu's green battalion soldiers also played an important role in the "Fengcheng Victory", especially Xiong Lichun's brave and good fighting, outstanding contributions, please Shunzhi Emperor issued a decree to commend, and the general soldier Liu Liangzuo sacrificed his life for the country in the battle, please give generous compensation to the imperial court, and Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan, personally rushed into battle to kill when the battle was most intense, and stabbed more than ten southern thieves, so that his left leg was seriously injured, and he asked to return to Nanjing to recuperate......

This is Ma Guozhu's meaning, he has long made up his mind, he can no longer wade in this troubled water, this is Ma Guozhu's meaning, he has long made up his mind, he can no longer wade in this troubled water, this is Ma Guozhu's meaning, he has long made up his mind, he can no longer wade in this muddy water, this is Ma Guozhu's meaning, (to be continued......)
