The loss of the plain was too big a blow for Pryushenko. He was already tightly grasped by the Red Army of the Celestial Empire and stretched out his hands, but now his chest was torn again, and his furry chest was exposed to the other party at once.

He no longer wanted to save others, or who would save him, and the chaotic battle situation that had been stirred up by the gourd had stirred him up to the point of delirium. He had no choice but to pick up the tattered clothes of the Maji River defense line that was still under construction and put it on, pinning all his hopes here.

"Governor Ma, I can't tolerate your mushroom-like behavior, the defense line of the Maji River has not been completed on time, and you must bear full responsibility." Pryushenko danced two fists full of black hair like an angry mad dog, and yelled at Ma Xinyi, the governor of Shandong, "The heroic soldiers of the Tsar are shedding blood and sacrificing for you, and it is uncomfortable for you to make a little effort." I ask of you to complete the construction of the fortifications along the coast at once, day and night, or else, do not blame me for being unkind. ”

Priushenko now needs a solid horse-cheek river too much, and he needs even a few quiet days so that he can seriously sort out this invisible, chaotic war situation. At present, Enxian and Lingxian are still there, and they can temporarily block the sharp edge of the Taiping Red Army and slow down their rapid advance, if they lose this critical time, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"May ...... I am willing to serve His Excellency the General. Ma Xinyi pulled his waist and wiped the cold sweat on his head without daring to raise his head.

Pryushenko scolded him so much that he felt very aggrieved, and for several months, he could be said to have almost broken his heart in order to build a fortification on the Tuxiao River and the Maji River. Among the newly promoted Shandong officials of the imperial court, the political envoy and the envoy as soon as they received the edict, they were "seriously ill" one after another, one lying on the bed every day humming and chirping and pretending to be half dead, and the other simply ran back to the capital to "extend medical treatment". He was left singing a one-man show with his pillars.

Even so, he still had no regrets on the grounds that building these fortifications could not only resist the attacks of the Taiping Red Bandits in the future, but also take advantage of the situation to rectify the river and avoid future river disasters. Helplessly, his governor is too poor now, and the poor are jingling, and even the governor's yamen temporarily in Dezhou City is borrowed, which was originally the Daotai yamen of Jidong Taiwu Lindao. For such a huge military project, relying only on the little money and food squeezed out by the gentry is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and it will not play a role at all. And the allocation of money and food that Pryushenko once promised seems to have been forgotten since he said it with his mouth. The people on the construction site want to eat and drink, can they just rely on leather whips and sticks?

If it weren't for the fact that he had been entangled with his "Chrysanthemum Flower" for too long that day and was too tired, if he had gone to Yucheng the next day to inspect the Tuxiao River defense line project as originally planned, he would not have had the opportunity to come back and hear the curses of this Russian lord. But he didn't dare to pour these bitter waters with other Russian adults, especially at this moment. If there was room for bargaining in the past, now it is impossible to live or die, and what is needed now is the unity of all people, even if you gnaw with your teeth, you have to gnaw out the defense of the Maji River inch by inch.

Sweating profusely, Ma Xinyi withdrew from Pryushenko's general's palace and returned to his governor's yamen. The first thing was to detain all the Shandong officials who could be summoned (since the Shandong region south of the Yellow River had fallen into the hands of the Celestial Empire, Dezhou temporarily became the capital of Shandong). After Ma Xinyi almost tearfully gave the officials a mobilization lesson of "national crisis is at the head and the husband is responsible", he strictly ordered all the soldiers in Texas, as well as the officials and officials of various provinces, as well as their respective family members, as long as they can move, to move unconditionally, and together with the villagers in Texas and the surrounding areas, rush to the defense line of the Maji River to help the Russian friends build a fortified area.

The grinning officials were gone, and Ma Xinyi, who was waiting for dozens of officials outside to go to the construction site immediately, suddenly had an irrepressible impulse in his heart. He instructed the servants to wait, and then turned around and went into the inner chamber himself. It turned out that there was also a "chrysanthemum flower" waiting for him in the inner room

Ma Xinyi, who is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, is a Hui ethnic group, and his hometown is in Xima Village, northeast of Heze City, the capital city of Caozhou, which has "fallen into the hands of red bandits", and it is said that he is also an official eunuch family. However, when it came to him, he was stronger than his ancestors. At the age of twenty-seven, he was admitted to the same list as Li Hongzhang, and then let go of Jianping Zhi County, Anhui. Like Li Hongzhang, he is also a person who is very good at drilling and speculating, and even surpasses his fellow Li Hongzhang in some aspects.

In that year, due to the recovery of Luzhou by the Celestial Empire, the Taiping army grew stronger in northern Anhui, and Ma Xinyi was ordered to be a prefect without his own territory, that is, the prefect of Luzhou. In the confrontation with Lai Hanying, he never asked for anything cheap and did not dare to ask for anything. In order to piece together military merits for himself, he put a lot of effort into recruiting the bandit Liu Mingchuan. When Liu Mingchuan was really recruited to his command, even Liu Mingchuan himself didn't expect that Ma Xinyi reported to his emperor, but he won a great victory outside Luzhou City, killed a lot of long-haired bandits, and captured more than 300 people under the prime minister-level gangster Liu Mingchuan. At the same time, of course, he also said that because of his bitter heart, the bandit Liu Ming sensed the kindness of the imperial court and resolutely swore allegiance to the Qing Dynasty. Thinking that Liu Bandit was lost and returned, and had an actual appearance, he had already incorporated Liu Mingchuan as his subordinate......

Ma Xinyi's trick of deception not only succeeded in gaining the trust of his Qing court, but more importantly, it also called him the name of "Ma Xinyi", the same as Yu Bingtao, the original prefect of Huaiqing, which was deeply imprinted in the mind of the concubine Yi in the Forbidden City, laying an important foreshadowing for his future "soaring Huang Tengda". Of course, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do anything, his tricks can deceive his court, but over time, there will inevitably be some wind blowing into Liu Mingchuan's ears. This is also the reason why Liu Mingchuan later gave up his call and threw himself into Li Hongzhang's arms after he ran to northern Henan. Liu Mingchuan trembled when he thought about it, "Prime minister-level bandit", damn, don't you Ma Xinyi want Lao Tzu's life? Who dares to go with such a boss, he doesn't know how to die if he dies one day.

No matter what happens in the future, Ma Xinyi was followed by good luck at that time. Wei Changhui's defeat after he was stationed in Luzhou, he got a big advantage from it, and this cheap relied on Liu Mingchuan's fierce and good fighting. Wei Changhui folded Shouchun, Ma Xinyi and Liu Mingchuan surrounded and chased some of the scattered Taiping troops to fight, and took advantage of the situation to kill the good and take the risk, naturally, during which they really captured some Taiping soldiers. In order to exaggerate the great exploits, Ma Xinyi once again played with the kung fu of deception. He found two soft bones named Dou Yihu and Zhang Wenxiang, one of the captives, and made a secret alliance to make them brothers and guarantee the prosperity and wealth of the two in the future, so that these two people would openly admit their identities as high-ranking officers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. As a result, after the report, it not only attracted the emperor's commendation again, but also promoted to the Taoist platform of Anlu Chuhe Dao.

After this fight, Ma Xinyi gradually realized that it was not a good sign to continue to stay in northern Anhui as the battlefield in northern Anhui developed. As a result, all kinds of "joints" were passed, and just before the defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Northern Anhui Empire, he moved to Shandong, which was relatively calm at that time.

"Big brother, seeing that you are tired, can't you accompany others at home?" As soon as he saw Ma Xinyi trotting in, the "Chrysanthemum Flower" immediately threw herself into Ma Xinyi's arms as if she had been in a drought for a long time, and her lips were as if she had eaten the flesh of a dead man.

"Alas...... How can I not want to, the third child is not here, and I finally have such a convenient opportunity, but I can't go out of this door for the rest of my life. Ma Xinyi hugged the petite and pretty "Chrysanthemum Flower", and a big furry mouth arched desperately on her pink neck.

This "Chrysanthemum Flower" is none other than Ma Xinyi's sworn brother in northern Anhui, the young and beautiful daughter-in-law of the second Dou Yihu.

Wei Changhui left Luzhou to secretly return to Tianjing to rebel without authorization, and Luzhou was almost recaptured by Shengbao's loyalty. It was in that chaos that Ma Daju, who was originally in Luzhou, escaped from Luzhou with the chaotic crowd, and finally returned to her husband, who had become a Manchu minions at this time. The excited Dou Yihu and his wife reunited, but what neither of them expected was that disaster befell them from then on.

The first time Ma Xinyi saw Ma Daju, he was completely conquered by the beauty of the daughter-in-law of the brother Bai Zi. He began to secretly and desperately try to please Ma Daju, and kept assigning Dou Yihu some dirty tasks, so that the little couple who finally got together hardly had a moment of tenderness. Since ancient times, flies don't bite seamless eggs, and Ma Daju is also not a good thing. came and went, she fell in love with the rich and powerful Ma Xinyi, and how she began to look at her rude husband was an eyesore.

At this time, Ma Xinyi, who was already inseparable from Ma Daju, finally made a poisonous move. He secretly assigned his subordinates, and when Dou Yihu was assigned by him to go on a business trip, he ended up with Dou Yihu. Since then, Ma Daju has become a "chrysanthemum flower" in Ma Xinyi's secret.

Despite this, what makes Ma Xinyi still feel unhappy is his own face. After all, he is a person who has read the books of sages, and he still doesn't dare to openly fool around with his "chrysanthemum flowers" for the sake of this face, especially the third Zhang Wenxiang is still alive. Many times, he gritted his teeth and wanted to send Zhang Wenxiang to the palace of the king of Hades as well, so as not to be an eyesore by his side. But if you think about it carefully, it is an eventful time now, and if there are not a few Zhang Wenxiang around who can cut and kill, it is really not good.

Fortunately, after becoming the governor of Shandong, the Russians remembered to build a defense line on the Tuxiao River and the Mache River, and this time, Ma Xinyi found the best opportunity. He promoted Zhang Wenxiang to be the director of the Tuxiao River Project, at least temporarily, and the "Chrysanthemum Flower", which had been placed in other places alone, was naturally taken into the mansion. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that "Chrysanthemum Flower" was arranged outside alone, he was always afraid that the Russians would suddenly see it one day, and Ma Xinyi would not have done so.

"Come, tell the eldest brother to be comfortable and comfortable, when the comfort is over, the eldest brother will be returned to the Russians to be a dog." Ma Xinyi picked up the "Chrysanthemum Flower" and walked to the bedside.

"I hate it...... People just don't tell you to go......" in the burst of chrysanthemum flowers. A pair of dogs and men untied their clothes and climbed onto the bed in broad daylight. Just as the two of them were in the dark and forgetful, suddenly, the door of the inner room was kicked open with a fierce kick.

At the door, a big man sweating profusely, his eyes were blood-red, and he was trembling all over. The snow-bright knife he was carrying in his hand kept hitting the door frame with the trembling of his arm, making a soul-stirring sound.
