Chapter 209: The Sin of Deception, the Change of Situation

Ma Bao, the new King of Wei, is ranked as the king of different surnames, which can be said to have reached the pinnacle of life. He kowtowed to receive the decree and shouted three times, but his heart was like a mirror, knowing that this would never be the holy decree issued by Yongli. But this doesn't matter anymore, the title is noble, the merit is outstanding, while he continues to gain honor and fame, he is also pulled by Zhu Yongxing onto the "thief ship" that he can't jump off, unless he is willing to abandon it all.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Ma Bao is not the only one among them. Zhu Yongxing attaches great importance to meritorious rewards, and the rewards are still secondary, and a group of generals have been promoted to knighthood, and with the smooth progress of the war, the future is becoming brighter.

"After our army finishes resting, we will go straight to Geng's nest, and let Xiao Wei take this first achievement, and be promoted to the marquis, where will Lao Wei's face go?" On this day, Ma Bao and the generals finished discussing things, and they were in a good mood, and joked with Wei Junzhong and his father Meng Jinhou Wei Yong.

Mengjin Hou Wei Yong is also a very thoughtful guy, he stayed in Annan quietly, pushed his son to the lecture hall, and asked him to serve Zhu Yongxing with all his might. Now Wei Junzhong has lived up to expectations, but the momentum of this promotion to the rank of lord has also become the reason for Ma Bao to ridicule his father.

"My father said: 'The disciple does not have to be inferior to the master, the son must surpass Lao Tzu', this is the right principle. The so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the newcomers are stronger than the old ones. "Wei Junzhong was promoted to earl and colonel, and he was already the highest-ranking person in the martial arts hall, so it was needless to say that he was happy in his heart, and now Ma Bao made fun of him, and he didn't care.

"Old Wei is shrewd, look at what he said." Wu Sansheng shook his head lightly with emotion, and said with a smile: "He is hiding in Annan to enjoy happiness, but he has a promising son who can support the façade." What's the matter, I heard that he took another concubine? ”

"This—" Wei Junzhong was a little embarrassed at this time, scratching his head and not knowing what to say.

"It's very easy to expand the territory overseas, Qi Sansheng and Gao Qilong led thousands of soldiers to fight that. Yes, Zhenla, don't dare to fight. Didn't the two of them also take concubines, or overseas barbarians! "Ma Bao doesn't know the situation in other countries, and it's normal to say the words overseas barbarians.

"Lord Wang, overseas is overseas. Don't talk about barbarianism. Wu Sanxing kindly reminded.

"Yes, yes, be cautious." Ma Bao woke up suddenly and nodded hurriedly.

Speaking of which, I have to mention what Zhu Yongxing did a few days ago. The envoy of Annan, the patriarch of the Mengshan Ke tribe, Siwei, rushed to Guangzhou with Mengzhu and his entourage, and immediately pleaded guilty to Zhu Yongxing. What kind of sin, the sin of deception, deceived Mengzhu's life experience.

In the Siwei narration. Mengzhu was originally a daughter of the Han family, her father's surname was Chen, and she was a knowledgeable professor he invited for the Mengshan Ke people. In a conflict with the Burmese, Mengzhu's parents died, and he adopted Mengzhu as a daughter. Over time, this matter was not known to outsiders, and he regarded Mengzhu as his own child. The clansmen also regarded them as princesses of the clan.

This story, which is obviously fabricated, made Zhu Yongxing "furious", not only except for the title of the commander of Siwei Annan to see the after-effects. was also fined for three years as a punishment, and he was even grounded in Mengzhu, which made him think about it.

In fact, most people know that this is just a trick to cover people's ears, and there is nothing profound. But Zhu Yongxing's timing was good and things were done well. People can't speak out if they want to oppose it.

What are you against, that the punishment is too light, that this is false, that it is a foreshadowing for the future...... Well, I can punish you a little more. Anyway, as long as you don't kill your head; If you say it's false, then you can show evidence; As for the future, I haven't done anything yet, why are you against it!

But if you don't object, it will be tantamount to acquiescing in this matter, acquiescing in Mengzhu's life experience, if she is really made a concubine in the future, there will be no reason to oppose it.

This is also the key to Zhu Yongxing's vision, which makes people know that there is a fake, but they have no way to start and no excuse to oppose it. The identities of Mengzhu and Long'er, although they are officially married, have no will from the court, and can only be regarded as concubines. Others are respectful, welcome, and happy with Zhu Yongxing, so that they are commensurate with the princess and princess. In such an identity, Mengzhu's life experience is really not a big deal.

Of course, according to Zhu Yongxing's love for Mengzhu, the problem of life experience was confirmed, and the possibility of being promoted in the future could not be ruled out. But after all, it is possible, to argue with Zhu Yongxing with unwarranted speculation, not only is the teacher unknown, but also completely touches Zhu Yongxing's mold. But if you remain silent now, you will undoubtedly lose your right to speak in the future. This is Zhu Yongxing's "pointing the deer as a horse", making others helpless and unable to solve the problem.

Ma Bao, Wu Sanxing and others had only heard about it, but they had all roughly guessed Zhu Yongxing's intentions. In the end, the fake background is fake, this barbarian old man is on his lips, and it is naturally not very appropriate. Zhu Yongxing didn't say it, Mengzhu, who might be a princess in the future, was not easy to offend.

Everyone said some gossip, and was about to leave one after another, when a staff officer came to report that Zhu Yongxing, the king of Min, sent a secret letter, which was 800 miles urgent.

Ma Bao knew that there was a change, and immediately stopped the generals from leaving, and ordered the confidential personnel to translate the letter immediately. It didn't take long for the translated secret letter to be placed on Ma Bao's desk, and after he read it carefully, he couldn't help frowning, and motioned for Wu Sanxing to take the letter and take a look.

Wu Sanxin read the letter and signaled with his eyes, Ma Bao nodded in approval, and Wu Sanxing read it aloud.

According to the original deployment of the Ming army, the Ming army led by Ma Bao was mainly to meet the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, if it could win, it would attack the city and seize the land in Fujian Province, and force Fuzhou from the west, and the Ming and Zheng coalition forces fighting along the coast to attack Geng Rebell's nest and eliminate Fujian Province, and even the Geng Rebellious soldiers and horses in Jiangnan who were still a strong enemy.

However, after the internal strife in the Zheng family, Zheng Jing had already ordered the main force to be assembled in Jinxia to prepare for the storm from Taiwan, which made the Ming army fighting in the coastal zone seem a little lonely. In the letter, Zhu Yongxing gave a detailed account of the current changes in the shape of the army, and asked the Western Route Army to transfer part of its forces to strengthen the strength of the Southern Route Army in order to continue to implement the strategy of Fujian Province.

"At least one division, right?" Ma Bao pondered the situation in Zhu Yongxing's letter, and when Wu Sanxing finished reading, he didn't dare to ask uncertainly.

"There are more than 10,000 marines, and with the help of sailors, one more division is enough!" Wu Sansheng calculated the attack routes and characteristics of the Ming armies on the two routes, and replied very firmly.

Ma Bao nodded, the Southern Route Army does have the convenience of the near sea, and there are many towns on the attack route that can be captured with the help of the water division, and more than 20,000 army should be enough. On his side, there are still nearly 30,000 people after supplementation, and there should be no problem in continuing to implement the original strategic plan.
