Chapter 588: Marco's Speculation
ο»Ώ
Ma Ke just smiled this time, but didn't explain, only said: "There are some things, just take care of it, I'd better rush to see Mr. Hong." β
Indeed, there are some things that are not interesting to put it bluntly.
As an old man in the Jiangmen of Liaoxi, who has no relationship and background in the court, Ma Ke knows more or less about the things in the court.
This time on the surface, it seems that the emperor wants to review the meritorious soldiers of the Shandong Battle, but in fact, it involves the old grudge between Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng, who has been killed. It is inevitable that there will be no people who have a heart to use Sun Yuan's exploits to give Yang Ge Lao eye medicine, therefore, no matter what, Yang Sichang will find a way to suppress Sun Yuan's merits, at least to dilute the gains of the Ningxiang Army in the first battle in Shandong, so that Sun Yuan's weight in the eyes of the Son of Heaven is not so heavy.
Moreover, this battle also involved the appointment of the governor of Jiliao by Hong Chengchou. is already a typical superior, a battle between the big man and the major forces in the court
γ
Ma Ke couldn't fight the war, but his political vision was good.
In the past six months of war, to be honest, the performance of the Liaoxi generals was really clumsy. After Hong Chengchou became the governor of Jiliao, it was inevitable that he would not reuse his descendants of the Qin army, and the interests of the old men of the Liaoxi army would definitely suffer certain losses.
He Ma Ke can use this incident to squeeze into Hong Chengchou's camp, but it will be very beneficial to his future.
Of course, it's not good to talk about it to your subordinates.
So, he found Cao Bianjiao halfway, wanting to deliberately curry favor.
But he didn't want to, Cao Bianjiao was extremely proud, and he didn't wait for Ma Ke to finish speaking, and then brushed his sleeves away.
If someone else is him Mako, he has long been annoyed. But Ma Ke didn't think there was anything, and only laughed secretly in his heart: General Cao Xiao is still a little naΓ―ve. Anyway, I don't have anything to say to him, I'll go directly to Hong Hengjiu. This time, Yang Sichang made it clear that he wanted Hong Chengzhen to shine in tomorrow's review. It's a pity that the Qin army suffered too much losses, and the equipment and equipment were all lost in the battle of Baoqiushui, but this is my Ma Ke's opportunity.
Ma Ke's character is not good, in real history, in the Jinsong War in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Ma Ke and Wang Pu were afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and when they met Jiannu, they could be said to be defeated at the touch of a button, and they collapsed directly into Tashan without fighting a decent battle, and they were a spectator in the whole battle, and they came out to escape or escape. However, Cao Bianjiao, who was ridiculed by him as a naΓ―ve child, fought bravely in the later battle with Jiannu, and finally died in the country.
After entering Gongji City, it didn't take a while, and when he entered Hong Chengchou's Zhongjun Festival Hall, Cao Bianjiao's voice came from inside: "The army is defeated like a mountain, and my Qin army can be said to have lost face this time." This kind of thing that risks the merits of others is just dirty. You and the others also have a complacent face, but I can't do it. β
As soon as he said this, Ma Ke shouted "It's going to be bad" in his heart, and looked up again, but saw that the festival hall was already full of general soldiers and generals from various towns.
Thinking about it, it was discussing the entry of the armies into the city tomorrow to be read. And Cao Bianjiao was young and refusing to lose this person.
The boy is vigorous, this Cao Bianjiao is almost forty, why is he still so impulsive, and he offended everyone in one sentence.
Marco shook his head and stared intently. Sure enough, the expressions on the faces of the generals in the lobby were also different, some looked ashamed, some lowered their heads silently, but more of them looked annoyed. It's just that this Xiao Cao General is a celebrity under Hong Chengchou, and others are not good at attacking
γ
Cao Bianjiao's face was excited, and he shouted at Hong Chengchou who was sitting in the lobby: "General system, tomorrow the Son of Heaven will review the meritorious soldiers, it is our supreme glory, and many soldiers have been looking forward to this day all their lives." However, we lost this battle so badly. All the victories were won by the Ningxiang army, what did the last general do when he went into the city, and he was still ranked first, aren't he afraid of being ridiculed by the world? If the general system wants to force it, the general will rather die than obey. β
This is quite rude, and it is directed at Hong Chengchou. The faces of all the generals changed, and the atmosphere in the festival hall suddenly became solemn.
Hong Chengchou had a flat face and said, "General Cao, this is the will of the imperial court, carry it out!" β
"What kind of will, it's not his Yang Sichang's idea." Cao Bianjiao was unobtrusive: "The personal grudge between Yang Sichang and Lu Jiandou has pulled out our Qin army to do something, the general system, we can't be played like this!" β
This is even more polite, Hong Chengchou has always loved face. Although Cao Bianjiao is a confidant, he can't tolerate challenging his authority in front of so many people, otherwise, how will he lead troops in the future?
At the moment, his face was flat, and he shouted: "What a bastard, you can also put your beak in the affairs of the court." Come on, take Cao Bianjiao down for me! βγ
Two guards stepped forward, trembling and trying to cut Cao Bianjiao's arms.
"Let go, I'll go myself!" Cao Bianjiao shouted angrily: "General system, can't be like this, can't be like this!" β
"Get out, take care of this reckless man, no one is allowed to let him out without my order!" Hong Chengchou's face was blue with anger.
When Cao Bianjiao was escorted out, no one in the festival hall dared to say a word.
Hong Chengchou was probably too angry, his chest couldn't help rising and falling, and it took a long time to suppress his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Now continue to discuss the matter of entering the city tomorrow to be inspected by the Son of Heaven. The monarch is very relieved, and the court is very relieved. Therefore, the Son of Heaven descended to the saint and ordered each town to select meritorious soldiers to enter the city to be read and go to the temple to watch the ceremony. In the past six months, the officers and men of all armies have fought bloody battles, and their sacrifices are not insignificant, but these merits are what they deserve. Tomorrow's reading is not that Hong wants to behave well in front of the Son of Heaven, but after the end of this war, the court should also have a conclusion. Soldiers who died in battle should be compensated, and those who were wounded and meritorious should be rewarded. The stakes are high and should not be taken lightly. After going down, all the generals must select the elite, clean up and stop, and not lose their honor before the Son of Heaven drives
γ β
Hong Chengchou's words have already been made very clear, and the matter has a bearing on the actual interests of all armies, and everyone should behave well. Everyone responded in unison: "I want to listen to the dispatch of the chief system!" β
Hong Chengchou said again: "The order of entering the city tomorrow has been arranged. β
With a wave of his hand, one of the staff members began to read the list.
The order was as follows: the Qin army was sent first, followed by Guanning, Datong, Taiyuan, and Xuanfu, and the Ningxiang army was last. Ningxiang was originally a unit under the banner of Xuanfu Town, and it should have been with the Xuanfu Town Army. However, Sun Yuan's credit this time is too great, and it can be said that the entire battle of Shandong was beaten by him alone. This reading shows that it seems that the Son of Heaven is reviewing the three armies, but in fact, it is just a review of Ningxiang.
Therefore, the Ningxiang Army had to line up alone.
Because of this battle, the Ming Dynasty gathered the border army of the six towns, plus the Qin army, the total number has reached 100,000. With so many people, it is impossible for them all to enter the city to participate in this grand ceremony. Otherwise, 100,000 people will walk in line, and they will have to walk for an hour, and the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials will not have so much patience to review them one by one.
Moreover, among the 100,000 horses, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 real family-level main soldiers. The others are auxiliaries and civilians, these people have not undergone strict military training at all, and some of them don't even know how to line up, so it is impossible for them to rush to the streets in a mess to show their eyes? In this way, wouldn't this reading become a rush to the market?
Therefore, every town had a battalion of four thousand five hundred men and horses.
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with this arrangement, and besides, it is also the meaning of the holy decree.
But what a shrewd man Marco was, he immediately spotted the problem.
It is precisely because the Ningxiang Army is now shining brightly and is the protagonist of this review that it stands to reason that it should be at the forefront of the review troops.
But here's the blame, the first formation of the parade troops turned out to be the Qin army, and Sun Yuan, the protagonist of the first battle in Shandong, fell to the end.
This has to make people think about it.
Hehe, the six towns and the Qin army, each army sent 4,500 people to pass in front of the Son of Heaven in turn, tens of thousands of people, just go for an hour, and when it is the turn of the Ningxiang army, I am afraid that the emperor and the ministers of the ministries and ministers are already impatient. The Qin army is at the forefront, if it walks out of the courage of the mighty army and the victorious army, no matter how good the Ningxiang army is in the end, no matter how bold it is, there is nothing new about it
γ
Moreover, the current emperor is an anxious child, and he is afraid that he will be impatient after watching it for a long time.
This is like singing, the opening is very important, and you have to take the lead in attracting people. And the first person to appear, as long as he performs well, he can suppress the actors behind him.
Of course, the finale of a church meeting is also very important. It's a pity, there is a difference between reading and singing, singing, you can also come up with new tricks to attract visitors. But this is read, isn't it that the troops are lined up in formation, carrying weapons and legs around, there is no difference between the armies, everyone is walking, is it possible that your Ningxiang army can still fly in the sky?
The Ningxiang Army has no possibility of being in the limelight at all.
Moreover, Hong Chengchou actually chose to let the Qin army go to the forefront, taking the lead in front of the Son of Heaven, and deliberately suppressing the Ningxiang army, doesn't it mean that he has made an agreement with Yang Sichang and is bent on becoming the governor of Jiliao.
Hehe, this is interesting, it seems that my Marco guessed correctly!
Good opportunity, really good opportunity.
Ma Ke laughed in his heart, he is now the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan is located in Jingdong, which is different from Ningyuan, and this position of the general army has always been a fat shortage. And because it is the gateway to western Beijing, it is the most important. If Hong Chengchou is the governor of Jiliao, this post of chief soldier may not be replaced by his person. Now, I can take this opportunity to curry favor with Hong Hengjiu and keep this official position.
After Hong Chengchou explained the matter of entering the city tomorrow to be read, he said: "The imperial court has sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to teach you etiquette, and a certain person is about to leave for the city. β
All the generals answered, and each of them retreated, leaving only Marco alone.
Hong Chou frowned: "Is there anything wrong with Chief Soldier Ma?" β
