What Emperor Chongzhen said to Liang Tingdong involved the affairs of the Rehe region, and Ma Shiying naturally immediately received the decree.

Ma Shiying, who is forty years old this year, and Fan Fucui, the governor of Datong, and others held on to the lonely city of Datong until Huang Taiji led the retreat of Jianyu, and of course he was meritorious as the prefect of Datong.

However, Ma Shiying, whose official fortune has not been very good, did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen, who was above the temple, would remember his own merits, and personally proposed to directly promote himself to the high position of governor of a province.

Although the position of the governor of Rehe is a new position, and the area under his jurisdiction is also in the traditional north of Ji, which was a place where the northern captives were raging in the past, it is not a fat difference, but the position of governor is a position that Ma Shiying has longed for a long time in his heart.

What's more, this governor is still a governor with three divisions, and he is still a very noble kind in comparison.

Because among the more than 30 governors that have been established in the Ming Dynasty, only the original thirteen Chengxuan political departments or thirteen economic provinces have a complete set of three divisions.

This kind of governor who has a political envoy department, a criminal envoy department and a command envoy department is a more honorable governor of the brand.

On the other hand, more than half of the governors who do not have three divisions in charge of military affairs have very limited areas of jurisdiction and little power, especially in civil affairs, where their power is either pitiful or not at all.

Although the governor of Rehe is a new position, it is a place with three divisions, which shows that the Chongzhen Emperor now wants to treat this place in Jibei as a province within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, although Ma Shiying is usually a gloomy person, the city government is very deep, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows are rarely visible, but when he received the holy decree from the celebrant and the Jinyi guard, he was still ecstatic for a rare time.

What made him ecstatic was not all the appointment of the post of governor of Rehe, but more about the fact that he entered the field of vision of Emperor Chongzhen from now on.

Ma Shiying is a native of Guiyang Mansion, Guizhou, and in the Ming Dynasty court that was full of Donglin, Eunuch Party, and Western Party before, he is the kind of character who belongs to the lonely soul and wild ghost, that is, the kind of character who needs to be cautious with every step and capsize and sink if he is not careful.

Such a character can go beyond the governor of Datong, the governor of Xuanda, and even the recommendation of the officials and the nomination of the cabinet, and directly enter the emperor's field of vision, which is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

And now the performance of Emperor Chongzhen since his accession to the throne, Ma Shiying certainly has his own careful observation, but all the characters who enter the emperor's field of vision can be regarded as entering the broad road of officialdom promotion.

There are several people in this category who impressed him, such as Niu Juming, who was just a Jinshi in the Enke list two years ago, and when he looked at it two years later, he was already Lang Zhong of the Ministry of War, a senator of the Military Aircraft Department, and almost dominated many major policies of the Ministry of War as a Lang Zhong.

Looking at Cao Wenzhao again, more than two years ago was just a border army guerrilla in Liaozhen, but now, more than two years have passed, Cao Wenzhao has not only become the chief military officer a long time ago, but also became the newly promoted An Yuanbo this time.

Count Gongfeng, this is an honor that many generals in Daming Border Town have dreamed of but have not been able to get in their lives, but Yu Cao Wenzhao has it "easily"!

This is the difference between the military general Jian in the emperor's heart!

What made Ma Shiying sigh even more many times was that there was a much younger figure than him, that is, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Hebei who is now ordered to live in Zhending.

How many people are over thirty years old and have not yet been promoted to the Jinshi, and Lu Xiangsheng has become the governor of Hebei personally promoted by the emperor when he is nearly thirty years old, this is the biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty and the military general Jian in the emperor's heart!

And now that he has finally come to work, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers and entering the vision of the saint today, this is much more joyful than the governor of a border and a foreign land!

Datong is not close to Jingshi, but even at a long distance, it can't stop a heart that is eager to improve!

After receiving the imperial court's will to appoint him as the governor of Rehe, Ma Shiying did not have time to hand over government affairs with Ding Qirui, who had not yet rushed to Datong, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Shangguan Fan Fucui and Datong guard Sun Yingyuan.

After meeting Emperor Chongzhen, almost all the previous conjectures about the young emperor came true.

The emperor was young but scheming, and often quietly put all his enemies to death.

It seems that he can listen to any opinion, but in fact, in the end, almost everything is decided by the emperor himself.

The court seems to be lively, but in fact, everything is now under the control of the young emperor.

After figuring out this, Ma Shiying not only immediately understood his future choice, but also quickly made up his mind that he did not need to defect to any party or enter any family.

In other words, there is no need to meet any of the elders in the current cabinet in private, or the bigwigs in the court.

Because as long as it is inconvenient to maintain the current true colors, he will be like Lu Xiangsheng and others, with the direct support of the emperor, and grow into a force that is different from any of the implicit parties above the imperial court.

During the period when Ma Shiying entered Beijing to wait for His Majesty's meeting, he closed the hall in the Ministry of Officials, and did not see the performance of any characters in the court, so he was naturally reported to the Qianqing Palace by the yamen with special missions such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

For this, of course, the Chongzhen Emperor is very satisfied now.

Originally, in history, this Ma Shiying belonged to the kind with a more withdrawn personality and had no friends.

There is only one who has helped him financially and is a like-minded officialdom friend Ruan Dacheng.

In the original history, it was because of Ma Shiying's appointment of Ruan Dacheng after his career that he tore his face with the Donglin Party ministers who gathered in Nanjing, which made Nanming have serious internal friction and could not unite as one, and soon collapsed.

In this life, of course, there is no such possibility anymore.

Because his wealthy friend Ruan Dacheng, who is a wealthy member of the eunuch party, has not only lost his huge fortune long ago, but also lost his life in the two years of the emperor's cleanup of the eunuch party.

And he, Ma Shiying, has not been imprisoned for embezzlement until now, and he needs a rich friend to reach out to help.

Originally, in history, Ma Shiying would be promoted to the governor of Xuanfu because of his merits after this national war in the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, taking over Li Yangchong's position, and soon after, he would be exposed and reported by the Qingliu of the court for misappropriating 6,000 taels of Xuanfu treasury silver, and then he would be ordered to be imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen, who hated official corruption.

A few years later, he would be rescued by Ruan Dacheng spending money to dredge up the relationship, and then was used by Emperor Chongzhen, who was unavailable, in Fengyang, and worked all the way to the governor of Fengyang, and finally supported King Fu in the position of the governor of Fengyang, becoming the first first assistant of the Southern Ming Dynasty in the most critical period.

It's a pity that in the past, he embezzled public funds as governor of Xuanfu, and he never got the forgiveness of the Donglin party who reported and exposed him back then, and even if he became the first assistant of Nanming, he still couldn't get the support of those people.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to use the eunuch figures of the year, including Ruan Dacheng.

The result is obvious, the eunuch party and the Donglin party once again disregard the safety of the country and the interests of the nation, and above the court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, they are fighting to the death, not sharing the sky, so that after King Fu ascended the throne, it was a respite that he finally won, but it was also fleeting.

The stories are embarrassing.

Of course, such a thing will not happen again in this life, Li Yangchong, the governor of Xuanfu, was not beheaded by Emperor Chongzhen because of the unfavorable management of the army, and Ma Shiying, the prefect of Datong, naturally could not go to Xuanhua to take Li Yangchong's position.

Therefore, after a period of time, it was impossible for Ma Shiying to embezzle 6,000 taels of silver from the Xuanhua Treasury in history.

In this life, Ma Shiying's fate has changed completely differently with the appointment of Governor Rehe.

In this seemingly trivial change of one person and one thing, the fate of the Ming Dynasty also quietly changed unconsciously among the courtiers.

With the end of His Majesty's meeting on the eighth day of the first month of March, Ma Shiying, like Liang Tingdong, left Beijing in the afternoon of the same day, and went to his place of office with various instructions from Emperor Chongzhen.
