Daming has always been like this, and the guest army is not allowed to enter the city. Because the guest army had to bring its own grain and grass to fight, and the guest army without military food had to rob the people, and the magistrate dared to open the city gate to let those guest troops enter the city to harm the people!

Yang Tingjian did not plan to enter the city, but set up camp next to the Zehe River, these more than 6,000 horses, water source must be one of the first considerations. Besides, Yang Tingjian's more than 30 water wheels also need to be replenished.

As soon as the camp was chosen, all the soldiers went into action, taking out sapper shovels from the wagons and digging a trench, which was about two meters wide and half a meter deep.

Modern trenches are to pile up the excavated dirt on the side facing the enemy, but Yang Tingjian's trench is to pile the dirt inside. The excavated soil is just enough to build an earthen wall that is one meter high and five meters wide and half a meter wide.

The soldiers stood behind the earthen wall, using muskets and halberds to defend themselves against the enemy, and in front of them there was an earthen wall two meters high, and a trench two meters wide and half a meter deep, and the enemy's cavalry could never rush in.

This kind of camp is the standard temporary camp of the new army of Jinyiwei, no matter how tight the time is, how tired the personnel, you must dig a trench before resting, this is an iron law, any commander who violates it will be severely punished.

Soon the entire camp was built, and it took about two hours, Yang Tingjian looked at the time on his wrist and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, a soldier came to report that the governor of Xuanfu had sent someone to ask for a meeting, and Yang Tingjian hurriedly asked someone to bring someone over for questioning.

The one who came to see Yang Tingjian was a servant, and this servant bowed his head after seeing Yang Tingjian:

"The villain was sent by the governor Ma, and Madam asked the villain to come and ask your army what is the purpose of this trip to Xuanfu."

The officer's voice trembled, because it was the tone of the horse governor who was completely superior, and although the official brought the words, he didn't know if these fierce warriors would cut off their noses.

Although Yang Tingjian was not happy, he also asked:

"Who is Governor Ma, come quickly?"

"Governor Ma! …… Master Ma Shiying. ”

This Ma Shiying Yang Tingjian still remembers, because Yang Tingjian specifically inquired about some important ministers in the late Ming Dynasty in his spare time to see their historical merits.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" said that Ma Shiying "is greedy and despicable, reciting Dacheng, retaliating in daily affairs, recruiting power and profit, and ending his death". Gu Cheng's "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty" evaluated Ma Shiying as not the prime minister of saving the time, but included him in the "History of the Ming Dynasty? The Biography of the Traitorous Minister" seems to be too heavy, and it is even more out of nowhere to hang him with Ruan Dacheng and call it "eunuch disaster".

Chen Yuan's "Ming Ji Yunnan and Guizhou Buddhism Examination" cloud: "Hongguang Pavilion Minister Guiyang Ma Shiying, after the defeat, also cut his hair into Siming Mountain, for the Qing soldiers to capture.

It can be seen that it is inappropriate for Yi Shiying to enter the "Biography of the Traitorous Minister", but Shiying is one of the last people to fight in the Hongguang Dynasty, and Ruan Dacheng first attached to the eunuch party, and then returned to the Qing Dynasty, which is very different.

After the city of Nanjing was broken, Huang Duanbo was unyielding, and King Duoduo of Qing Yu asked:

"What is Ma Shiying?" Duan Bo said, "Virtuous." ”

Dodor continued, "What does it mean to be virtuous?" ”

Huang said: "If you don't descend, you will be virtuous." (What do you think?) ）

Forgive me! Ma and Ruan also said that Cheng Shiying's misfortune is not also sad! It can be recited for Shiying.

Ma Shiying in the Hongguang regime, squeezed out Shi Kefa to take charge of the army, and finally caused the Hongguang court to perish, leaving nothing worthy of affirmation, and the result was "ruined and ruined", but the crime of "traitor" was too heavy.

The reason is: Ma Shiying has always resisted the Qing Dynasty, he did not "surrender" to the Qing Dynasty, did not sell "intelligence" to the Qing Dynasty, and did not provide the Qing Dynasty with things that were unfavorable to the Southern Ming Hongguang. The contradiction between Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa and others is an internal struggle of the Nanming regime, and it should not be confused with the crime of "traitorous minister".

(Note, Falling Leaves wrote this book, tried to clear the fog of history, and wished the truth of history to give the honor that those ancestors who unyieldingly resisted aggression as they deserved, and it is the responsibility of our generation.) ）

Yang Tingjian pondered for a moment and replied:

"Since it is Governor Ma who inquires, this official should inform him clearly...... You quickly go back to report to Master Ma, I am Yang Tingjian, the town of Jinyi Weinan Town, and this time I will escort millions of silver to Datong, and I can set off after a day of rest. ”

"The villain obeys, and he will report to Lord Ma."

"This is a reward for you, go down!"

Yang Tingjian took out an ingot of five taels of silver from his sleeve and threw it to the officer, who hurriedly picked up the silver and went back to report the news with great gratitude.

After the temporary camp was built, the smell of food in the camp also wafted, and the men did not participate in the construction task, and when the soldiers finished building the temporary camp, the men had already prepared all the meals.

After the completion of the construction of the soldiers first go to the river to wash, and then queue up to eat, the meal is eaten with an open belly, each soldier can get a meat dish and a vegetable, which lives in the late Ming Dynasty in such an era, has been a well-off life.

After a while, more than a dozen horses came to the temporary camp, and immediately outflanked it at night, it turned out that this person was Ma Shiying, he had already looked at this temporary camp at the city gate, and in just one hour, such a well-defended camp was built, so such an army must not be simple, from the strange armor on their bodies, Ma Shiying did not know when Daming came out of such a force.

After Ma Shiying got the report from the officials, he knew that this was the Son of Heaven's pro-army escorting the silver, and these brocade guards were considered to be Qincha, so Ma Shiying immediately took a dozen entourages to meet Lord Qincha.

Although Yang Tingjian was only the Jinyi Wei who escorted the silver, it was not Qin Cha, and it was common sense for Ma Shiying to take the initiative to come to meet him.

When Ma Shiying entered the camp, he was completely stunned, the soldiers here were all wearing full-body plate armor, this plate armor was so strange, even the hands and faces were protected, these brocade guard soldiers were even more morale-high, and the loud military songs resounded throughout the camp.

The role of this military song is great, not only can improve morale, but also play a role in educating soldiers, such as "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions", and there is also a hidden effect, that is, it can relieve the tension of soldiers and prevent the occurrence of camp roaring.

When Ma Shiying saw these Heavenly Sons pro-army, he kept sighing:

"In the end, it's the Son of Heaven's pro-army! This spirit, this weapon and equipment, I am afraid that no one in the world can match it. ”

"Master Ma, the late born is in military affairs, and he has never been far away, please forgive the sin of disrespect in the late life."

Yang Tingjian stood not far from the gate, and when he saw Ma Shiying enter the camp, he hurriedly greeted Ma Shiying.

Of course, Ma Shiying received an official letter from the imperial court, and the household department was urgent for 800 miles, so that the states and counties along the way would provide food and lodging for the Jinyi guards who transported the silver, and do a good job in the safety of the silver, but Ma Shiying never thought that these Jinyi guards would walk 400 miles in just three days, which was completely beyond the time estimated by Ma Shiying, so there would be a situation where Yang Tingjian's convoy was not allowed to enter the city behind closed doors.
