"Humble Ma Xin, I've seen Lord Shilang."

After the war, Ma Xin, covered in blood, was brought to Wang Yi, and when he came, he learned the latter's identity from Wang Yi's personal soldiers, so when he stood in front of Wang Yi, he saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite." Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "You are Ma Xin?" The garrison of the punishment camp, if I remember correctly, you used to seem to be the general of the Taizhou Mansion. ”

"Exactly."

As soon as he mentioned it, Ma Xin's mood was a little bitter, and he regretted that he didn't surrender directly when the Ming army came over, otherwise, maybe he could be directly absorbed into the Ming army's soldiers, instead of starting from this lowly punishment camp.

But now it's useless to regret it, he seems to have seized the opportunity to leap forward, he entered Wang Yi's sight, if he can seize this opportunity, he may be transferred to Wang Yi's side.

When Ma Xin was thinking wildly, Wang Yi was also looking at this fierce general, Ma Xin was almost soaked in blood into a bloody man, he was all red all over his body, and his body also exuded a strong smell of blood, the cotton armor on his body was damaged in many places, and he carried a captured bow on his back, carrying a waist knife and arrow bag on his waist, which was extremely strong.

Wang Yi looked at it and felt satisfied, this Ma Xin was indeed a fierce general, and he killed ten people in the green battalion, one red armor soldier, two Manchurian soldiers, and five clothed slaves in the battle.

Wang Yi coughed lightly and said in a friendly tone: "Ma Xin, you first wipe the blood stains off your face, and the official will take you to meet the Inspector." ”

As soon as he heard that the other party was going to take him to see Su Yan, Ma Xin was excited, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

After speaking, he took the cloth handed over by Wang Yi's own soldiers, wiped the blood on his face, and then folded the dirty cloth as if he cherished it and hid it on his body.

Seeing this, Wang Yi couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why are you doing this?" It's just a dirty cloth. ”

Ma Xin replied solemnly: "Lord Hui, this cloth is just a mediocre dirty cloth in your opinion, but in the eyes of your humble position, it is very commemorative. ”

"Oh?" Wang Yi was slightly stunned, but he didn't continue to ask, he smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, you go with the official, and go to meet the supervisor together." ”

"Whoa." Ma Xin responded.

After a short time, Wang Yi and the others came to Su Yan's side, but Na Ma Xin was stopped by the guards, and the soldier with a flintlock rifle said to Wang Yi with a blank face:

"Lord Wang, this person is guarding the punishment camp, and for the sake of safety, we must disarm him."

"This ......" Wang Yi just wanted to speak, but heard Su Yan's voice coming from behind the guard, and several people turned their heads to look, it turned out that Su Yan came over in person.

His gaze stayed on Ma Xin, and he glanced at the latter a few times before retracting it, and said, "Let them come over, you don't have to disarm." ”

"Whoa."

The guard saluted, then stepped back so that a few of them could enter.

This is the first time Ma Xin has seen Su Yan, in his cognition, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang should be an old man who is over the age of sixtieth birthday and highly respected, and no matter how bad he is, he is also a middle-aged Confucian general, but now when he sees it, the other party's youth is beyond his imagination, so that at first glance, he thought that the other party was the deputy general next to Su Yan.

Unexpectedly, it was actually him.

After being let go by the guards, Ma Xin followed Wang Yi to Su Yan and saluted, Wang Yi pointed to Ma Xin and introduced: "Supervisor, this person's name is Ma Xin, he is a garrison of the punishment battalion, he is brave in battle, he took the lead in charging the battle regardless of safety, and personally killed a Manchurian Red Armor soldier, and he has a remarkable record. ”

"So brave." Su Yan nodded, looked at Ma Xin again, and said approvingly.

"Where are you?" He asked again.

"Returning to the superintendent, the humble position is from Chang'an County, Shaanxi." Ma Xin replied with a fist.

At this time, Chen Ying whispered to Su Yan: "Supervisor, this person is the general of Taizhou, who led the army to set up an ambush in Yandang Mountain, intending to intercept our army from going north, and the backstage state fell and surrendered to our army. ”

Su Yan nodded, indicating that he knew, and Ma Xin looked at Chen Ying and Su Yan's whispering movements, and saw him looking at himself from time to time, knowing that the other party was probably reporting his own affairs to Su Yan, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

However, after listening to Chen Ying's report, Su Yan's face remained unchanged, and he continued to speak: "Ma Xin, this governor has always rewarded and punished clearly, and does not bury a single talent, you fought so bravely, if this governor does not give you a reward, won't it chill the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army?" ”

After speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "Ma Xin, this governor has officially appointed you as the garrison of the Chinese military camp, are you willing to take over this position and serve my Ming Dynasty?" ”

Ma Xin was almost ecstatic when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said: "I am willing to be lowly, I am willing to saddle the horse for the superintendent, and I will never give up!" ”

"Good!" Su Yan smiled, ignoring the blood stains on Ma Xin's body, personally stepped forward to help him up from the ground, patted him on the shoulder, and said cordially: "Ma Xin, from today on, you are the garrison of the Chinese military camp of the Governor, you must not let the Governor down." ”

"The superintendent values you so much, how dare you bear your humble position." Ma Xin said sincerely.

Su Yan didn't continue to speak, he patted Ma Xin's shoulder again, and then said: "You go down first to wash the filth on your body, the new clothes and armor will be prepared later, and after you clean up, the governor will introduce you to the whole army." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xin couldn't help but feel a little frightened, whether Su Yan attached too much importance to him, which directly introduced him to the whole army, but he quickly reacted, where does Su Yan value him, that is, he is the horse bone in the horse bone that is bought by his daughter, and he is rewarded with a heavy reward to inspire the whole army, and it is also to motivate the foot soldiers of the punishment battalion, giving them a hope and a goal.

After figuring it out, the panic in Ma Xin's confidence was dispelled, he agreed heavily, and then went outside under the leadership of his own soldiers to find a random water pool to clean, and after Ma Xin left, Su Yan looked at Wang Yi and said with a smile:

"Wang Shilang, I am very happy that you can discern and introduce a fierce general to me."

Seeing that Su Yan called himself the governor in front of Ma Xin, and in front of him he called himself me, Wang Yi subconsciously thought that this was Su Yan's closeness to him, and he was moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is the duty of the lower officials, and it is the luck of the Ming Dynasty to be able to add a fierce general to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the luck of the lower officials." ”

"Okay, don't shirk it." Su Yan said with a smile: "You also made great contributions to this battle, but it's a pity that Tan Tai left a hand, otherwise we can expand the results of the battle, and I will truthfully write your credit in the imperial court, so that Your Majesty will reward you." ”

"This ......" Wang Yi immediately thought of his position as the right attendant of the military department of the Lu Jianguo Imperial Court, worried that the Yongli Imperial Court would not recognize his official position, but he thought about it, even if the Yongli Imperial Court did not recognize it, he would still fight against the Qing soldiers under Su Yan, which was a fact that could not be changed.

So, he bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Then the lower official will pay tribute to the supervisor first." ”
