Ma Xuan was furious when he received the order from the Ministry of War, but this order was issued by his father himself, although his relationship with his father was not good, he couldn't scold his own father, so he could only send all his anger on the yellow rosewood table in the White Tiger Festival Hall.

A table that would be priceless in the afterlife was slashed by him with a waist knife, and it was not until all the anger in his chest poured out that he calmed down, and looked at the order in a daze.

This is the court is going to do something to the boss!

Ma Xuan is very clear about the intentions of the imperial court, since ancient times, there has never been an emperor who can accommodate a fierce general with outstanding achievements. Han Gaozu Liu Bang can't do it, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin can't do it, and even Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, still can't.

After getting angry, he immediately began to write a letter to Fuzhou to ask Zhang Ru's meaning.

Anyway, all the soldiers in Datong will be transferred, and they are not transferred to the same place, so he has a lot of reasons to shirk.

A letter of credit was sent to Fuzhou in an expedited manner for 800 miles, and then Ma Xuan began to wait anxiously.

Of course, while waiting, he also gathered his henchmen to make a lot of preparations.

First of all, it is to call all the henchmen into the White Tiger Festival Hall, and talk to them in advance about the imperial court's transfer of the Datong border army, and then ask those henchmen what they mean.

After all the henchmen had expressed their stance, he began to arrange how these henchmen should prepare after the transfer. The content is nothing more than trying to keep the current lineage strength, and then after arriving in a new place, gather more soldiers under his command and the like.

The imperial court wanted to attack Zhang Ru, Ma Xuan was naturally the first to be unwilling, he was unwilling, and no one under him was willing. After all, in Datong over the years, the military salary is three times that of the average border army, and life is gradually getting better, and no one wants to suddenly lose such a good life.

There is such a big court lying there, and they can't resist the decree and disrespect, and make some preparations, just in case.

After all, no one knows whether the imperial court will liquidate them, the descendants of Zhang Ruming, after the fall of Zhang Ru.

The three-day arrangement has made Ma Zhang's whole person out of shape, but fortunately, all this is almost arranged. Those subordinates were also very reasonable, and in order to win the trust of others, they said that all their families remained under Ma Xuan's nose.

The generals who remained were nominally to take care of the families of the Pao Ze brothers, but in fact they were meant to take these people hostage. In order to prevent a rebellion, the burden on these remaining generals was much heavier.

After anxiously waiting for more than ten days, the letter finally came from Fuzhou.

Sure enough, as Ma Xuan expected, Zhang Ru had no intention of fighting to the death with the imperial court at all, and the letter made it very clear that he was asked to obey the dispatch, and even this time Zhang Ru explained a few words.

One of them made Ma Xuan completely relieved.

This sentence is the answer to a question asked by Ma Xuan, this question is if the imperial court really wants to kill you, the emperor really wants to kill you, I left Datong, and I have no troops in my hands, how can I help you?

Zhang Ru's answer is like this: The virtuous brother is a little calm, and listen to the arrangement of the court first, it is easy for the saint to move as a brother, and it is not easy to move the 100,000 people of Fuzhou. 100,000 people and 100,000 soldiers, the imperial court may not dare to send a large army to attack. If the court really puts aside all face, it has its own plans for the brother. In this game, it is not a battle between soldiers, but also a competition between people.

With this explanation, it became easy for Ma Xuan to leave Datong, and on April 2, the eighth year of Hongzhi, Ma Zhang, the chief soldier of Datong, officially stepped down and left, and his successor was a small person with no name.

At the same time, all but a few of the border generals of Datong were transferred to other places in the Nine Border Towns.

On the twenty-eighth day of April in the eighth year of Hongzhi, Ma Xuan arrived at Xuanfu, and the soldiers of Xuanfu began to move at the same time.

This transfer can be said to be the largest transfer since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The troops of Xuanfu, Datong, and Liaodong were completely mobilized beyond recognition. Moreover, the transfer of these three places is only the transfer of generals, and the petty officers and ordinary soldiers are not transferred at all.

In this way, the loss of grain and grass in the process of troop transfer can be reduced to a large extent, and at the same time, these three places related to Zhang Ru can return to the embrace of the imperial court.

If these places continue to be controlled by the previous people, even if Liaodong Guqian has returned to old age, even if Zhang An can remain neutral, and even if Ma Xuan can stand still, Zhu Youzhu will not be at ease.

After all, it is hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are all elite soldiers and fierce generals in the border areas, and taking out any one of them is enough to crush the existence of the Beijing army in Beijing.

As an emperor, he doesn't gamble.

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Hongzhi, Ma Xuan officially returned to the capital, ignoring the father who greeted him apologetically, Ma Xuan just entered the palace to greet the emperor, and went to the 3000 battalion to take office.

It was three full days after returning to the capital, and Ma Xuan didn't think of going home to see his father, who had gray temples, and he ate and lived in the barracks, as if he had forgotten that he was once the chief soldier of one side.

Since the 3,000 Battalion was an army composed of Mongols from the beginning, the people who served in the 3,000 Battalion over the years were still the children and grandchildren of those Mongolian warriors under the command of Grandpa Cheng.

Ordinary Han generals are completely unable to make the descendants of these Mongolian warriors obey their words, and the words of Mongolian generals are not as loyal as Han generals.

The 3,000 battalion has always been a big problem, and I don't know how many people have served as the commander of the 3,000 battalion in the past 100 years, and not many have been able to hold out for more than a year.

In the Chenghua period, the three thousand battalions simply became an ornament, and the imperial court spent a lot of silver every year to support these people, but these people could no longer serve the imperial court.

Whether Ma Zhang's arrival can change the decline of the 3,000 battalions, no one knows, in fact, the emperor has no idea of letting Ma Xuan change the status quo of the 3,000 battalions.

The former Mongol warriors lived a pampered life in the capital, and they had completely exhausted their wildness and combat effectiveness, even if Ma Xuan could restore them to the former majesty of their ancestors, they would no longer be the 3,000 battalions of the year.

Ma Zhang's return to Beijing made Zhu Youzhu feel at ease a little, after all, this was the biggest problem in the past.

He also thought it was Ma Wensheng's credit, not only crowned Ma Wensheng as the crown prince Shaobao, but also praised Ma Wensheng in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

received the emperor's praise, in fact, Ma Wensheng felt like a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't tell the bitterness. He knew it wasn't his credit, but he couldn't explain anything to the emperor.

In mid-June of the eighth year of Hongzhi, the transfer of troops to the three major towns was completed, and so far, Zhang Ru's forces in the nine important towns were all destroyed. This also means that once the imperial court uses troops against Fuzhou, Zhang Ru will no longer have any pawns available.
