Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1267: Joy and Worry

Daming, who has just entered May, can be regarded as happy and sad.

First, there was good news from Ningxia. The Ningxia rebels broke out into civil strife under the highly pragmatic plan of alienation. Qibai father and son first killed Liu Dongyang, Xu Chao and other generals, and then Chen Chengen and Chenbai had a dispute over whether to surrender. Cheng'en intended to kill his father, but was killed by Cengbai instead.

At the same time, the official army, who had been keeping a general grasp of the situation in the city, launched a fierce attack. People in the city of Ningxia were panicked, and they had their own ideas.

Of course, to a certain extent, these people are not sold out, because they themselves are the remnants of Yan Chengen, thinking that left and right is a death, it is better to see if Kaesong can win a "leniency".

So Gao pragmatically commanded the army to enter the city. The rebels had already broken up at this time, and there was no decent resistance organized at all, and they were quickly killed and retreated into the inner city.

Although Ningxia is also called a strong city, it is not as good as Datong. Although the outer city is tall and strong, the inner city is much worse. Especially because there is no moat, the cannons can almost reach close and shoot. After a long time, the city gate was smashed.

Originally, although the city gate was broken at that time, the breach was a bit high, and it was actually not convenient to enter. It should continue to be bombarded.Unexpectedly, the chaotic army was already a frightened bird at this time. Seeing that the city gate was broken, they scattered in a hurry and continued to retreat to the mansion of Chanbai.

Since this is the situation, there is nothing polite to say, and it's over.

At that time, Ma Gui, who was in charge of commanding the shelling, was a little behind, and was invited to fight by Dong Yikui, the chief soldier of Yansui.

Brothers Dong Yikui and Dong Yiyuan were fortunate to have obtained a military exploit, and Ma Jiada soldiers under Ma Gui took advantage of the situation to cover up and went straight to the Chaibai House.Second Dong looked closely and saw that Ma Chengzhao was the one leading the troops.

There is one thing to say here. Ma Gui's family was born in Datong Right Guard, and has a very close relationship with the Dong family, who was born in Xuanfu. From a family point of view, the two are even relatives by marriage.Dong Yikui, Dong Yiyuan and Ma Gui were of the same generation, seeing that Ma Chengzhao was the younger generation, they both depended on their own identity and naturally could not compete with the younger generation for merit.

In fact, the relationship between the generals and generals of the border is very close, especially the generals in the same region (the same region is generally limited to the governor's jurisdiction, but Jiliao is a bit unique, and Liaodong can almost be listed separately), not only Majia It is the same with the Dong family and the other Xuan generals and Ma family under Gao pragmatic.

For example, according to the "Ming Gao Feng Fu Shi's Co-burial Epitaph" records: On the fifth day of the second month of the Wuxu period, Shi's wife died.The wife is the match of the general Lanxi Ma Gongfang... According to the letter, the wife's surname is Shi.When the father was promoted, the handsome mother Liu Shiyang and Wei Huawei also gave birth to three sons: Changdong, a temporary affair in the governor's office of the Central Army, married the daughter of Qi Qian, a counselor of the Qi family; Ci Chun, who died early, married the king's chief soldier kingdom Honored daughter; Cilin, deputy chief of the left guard of Datong, married the daughter of Sun Xiance, the chief minister of the Sun family.

Sun Nan Jiu: Ying, married to Wen Dengkui's daughter; Bing, married to Hao, the remaining daughter; Huan, married to Ni Shangzhong's daughter; Guang, still young, all out of the house; Ye, married The daughter of Wang Junmin Wang's Zhiyuan; Yue Yi, the daughter of Jiao Chengxun, the deputy commander of the Jiao family; Yue Jiong, the daughter of Wan Huafu, the counselor of the Wan family; Xuan, the daughter of Qi Guangzu, the deputy commander of the Qi family; Huang, Shang You Kulin out.

The ninth granddaughter: Chengzong, the son of Ma Guizi, the chief soldier of Changshi, the eldest son of Zhou Xikou, the second commander of Xu Jinyiwei, and Yu Shangyou, all of whom went out; The second son of the chief soldier Huang Mingchen, Yu Shang was young and came out of the forest.

According to the inscription, Mrs. Shi was the wife of Ma Fang, a native of Yanghewei, Shanxi Province. She was born in the fourth year of Jiajing and died in the 27th year of Wanli at the age of 74.The inscription calls Shi's mother "Yanghe Wei Huaxuan", which means that she was born in a noble family.Ma Fang was appointed to Yanghe Wei in the early days. At that time, he showed bravery and his upward trend was obvious. Therefore, it is reasonable to marry the daughter of a famous family with the surname of Weizhong.The inscription also mentions the marriage relationship of Ma Fang's third son, ninth grandson and ninth granddaughter.

Among them, Ma Dong married Qi Qian's daughter. According to Guangxu's "Weizhou Chronicle", Qi Qian was a Weizhou guard, Zengzhong Jiajing Yimaoke (1555) Wujuren, and later a guerrilla general.

Ma Chun married Wang Guoxun (the former general of Xuanfu who was retired by Gao Yushi and replaced by Ma Chengen because of his old age not long ago). He first served as the general soldier of Shanxi, and then became the general soldier of Xuanzhen in the 12th year of Wanli.

Ma Lin married Sun Xiance's daughter. According to Jiajing's "Xuanfu Town Chronicles", Sun Xiance was born in Guangchang, and served as a guard for commanding affairs in Jiajing 35 years.

The eldest grandson, Ma Ying, married a Wendengkui girl. According to Wanli's "Suzhen Huayi Zhi", Wendengkui was a native of Guangling, Shanxi, who was originally a prison student and later served as a judge in Suzhou.

Sun Mabing married Hao Jie, a native of Weizhou. She was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing (1556).

Sun Mahuan married Ni Shangzhong's daughter. According to Wanli's "Baoding Mansion Chronicles", Ni Shangzhong was a Longmen guard of Xuanfu.

Sun Maye married Wang Junmin's daughter, but her identity is unknown.

Sun Mayi hired Jiao Chengxun's daughter. According to Shunzhi's "Yunzhong County Chronicle", Jiao Chengxun was a defender of Datong. During the Wanli period, he served as the Datong general soldier, and his father Jiao Ze Jiajing served as the Datong general soldier.

Sun Majiong hired Wanhuafu's daughter. According to Tongzhi's "Hequ County Chronicle", Wanhuafu was a native of Pianguan County. During the Wanli period, he served as the Datong Middle Road Sergeant, Shanxi Hequ ginseng, Shenmu ginseng, and Dezhou battalion. Later, he was promoted to Zun. Chief Soldier.

Sun Ma Xuan married Qi Guang's ancestral daughter. According to Qianlong's "Xuanhua House Records", Qi Guangzu was a native of Weizhou and served as the deputy chief of Laoyingbao.

The daughters of Ma Dong and Malin were betrothed to Ma Gui's second sons Ma Chengzong and Ma Chengxuan respectively.The son-in-law, Xie Jisheng, became the chief soldier and gave birth to a son. Xie Sheng once accompanied Ma Gui to aid the dynasty to fight against the Japanese, and was defeated and died in Liaodong.

The granddaughter married the second son of the chief soldier Huang Mingchen. According to Qianlong's "Xuanhua Fuzhi", Huang Mingchen, whose ancestral home was Pengze, occupied Xuanfu in the early Ming Dynasty, and was promoted to Shanxi chief soldier by thousands of households.Jin Yiwei commanded the eldest son of Zhou Ximou (the identity of this person is unknown, no information has been found).

All in all, the characteristics of this affinity relationship are obvious: the first is the scope, which is generally limited to the same governor's jurisdiction; the second is the identity, mainly from aristocratic families who are both generals, and very few can also marry civil officials, but the number is small; Finally, there is the network, where the network refers to marrying each other, forming an intertwined "in-law network".

It can also be seen that after entering the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty in the original history, some generals were able to respond to every call, representing the entire local generals as one family. There is one reason for this-the in-law relationship formed over the years.

Guards are not noble after all. It is normal for a certain guard to appear weak in a certain generation. This is the case in your family, and so is my family.But this situation is also likely to be turned upside down because of a capable generation in the next generation.Therefore, the generals will probably take care of each other, so that when the generals are down, no one will treat them squarely, and there will be no chance of recovery - I have to say, this is quite a fan of the entertainment industry of later generations.

In the same way, after Gao Wushi chose Xuan Da Jiangmen as his direct line in the early years, only Liu Xian and Liu Wei and their sons were the exceptions for a long time, and there were no additions. How many soldiers were there, why is this?
The reason why the direct line is the direct line is that their treatment is different from that of ordinary people. As a superior person, Gao pragmatism needs to be able to ensure that they can afford what they need, so that they can really conquer them.

In the early years, the focus of Gao Gong and Gao Wuzhen’s work in the Jiubian area was to implement the “West Huaidong System”, and they have just advanced to the “West Huai” stage.At this stage, the most critical border towns are the three towns of Xuanda, so conquering the representatives of the three towns of Xuanda is the meaning of the title, whether it is the Ma family or the Ma family, including the Zhang family, the Dong family, etc. , was selected by Gao's uncle and nephew because of this strategy, and was quickly brought under his command.

After the Battle of Monan, the center of gravity of the court began to move eastward, and "Eastern System" was gradually put on the agenda, and even Gao Pragmat himself requested an order to go to Liaodong.

At this time, of course, he would start to consider taking in a new batch of direct descendants, but at that time Liaodong was dominated by the Tieling Li family.Gao Wushi couldn't control Li Chengliang according to his requirements for various reasons, so he had to find another way to rescue Cao Ji from prison, and at the same time he selected a few from the followers in southern Liaoning, and reluctantly formed a new one under his command. Faction - it may be called the Gao Party Liaodong General, to distinguish it from the Gao Party's propaganda general.

However, the Liaodong generals of the Gao Party at this time were obviously not strong enough in front of Li Chengliang—mainly because of insufficient status—so Gao Shishi chose to keep Ma Dong, Ma Chengen, Ma Chengxun and others in Liaodong and cooperate with Cao Ji to maintain the situation. .After Qi Jin was transferred to Liaodong, Gao pragmatically transferred Ma Chengen back to Xuanfu.

All of this, but there is no foolishness, it is a very prudent choice under the objective conditions at that time.

Gao pragmatist recaptured Ningxia in less than a month, which is of course a great thing for the imperial court. You must know that Wei Xuezeng, the new governor of the three sides, has not even arrived at this time. He came from Nanjing, and this time has just passed. After Tongguan, I haven't even reached Xi'an yet.

Moreover, the court also received a notice from Gao pragmatic a few days ago, knowing that Gao pragmatic has enough arrangements for Huo Luochi and Li Rabbit brothers.At this time, Zhuang Langwei not only had Liu Chengsi, the commander of Gansu, personally in charge, but also Li Rusong's reinforcements. In addition, Gao Pragmat even sent them [-] Mongolian cavalry - the other party is at most this number .It is equivalent to the part of the Ming army that exceeds that of the Huo Luochi brothers.

Although the battle report over there has not been sent, at least on paper, there is no reason for Zhuang Langwei to lose the first battle.

The imminent arrival of Dading in the northwest is obviously good news, but what the court did not expect at all was the actions of the Mongolian left-wing Chahar. Inexplicably launched an offensive against the Jurchens in Liaodong.

First, Yang Siwei, the chief soldier of Jizhen, who was guarding Daning, sent a military report saying that the Tumen had already raised troops from Chahanhot, and the whole army took about [-] or [-] cavalry. Yang Siwei still judged that this was Burihatu's "so suspicious formation", saying that he would strengthen his defense, and at the same time, he also asked the court to strengthen the defense on the front line of the Great Wall.

The court basically recognized his judgment, and not only ordered to strengthen the defenses along the Great Wall, but even made the Praetorian Guards ready to fight at any time.

However, with less than three people, new news came. The Tumen army did not kill any carbine, but went straight to the north of Liaoning, bypassing the northernmost Kaiyuan section of the Great Wall in eastern Liaoning, and broke into the territory of Yehe.

This news came from Liaodong. From the governor Li Song, the commander Li Chengliang to the deputy commander Cao Ji, and the Kaiyuan general Ma Chengxun, they all wrote their memorials and analyzed the actions of the Tumen from their respective positions. At the same time, they all said that they have strengthened their defenses, and must not let the Tumen old thief's "circumvention" plan succeed - the Liaodong side still believes that Tumen's move is aimed at Daming.

Well, perhaps in the eyes of both the political and military sides in Liaodong, since Daming's goal is only Mongolia, of course, Mongolia's goal should also be Daming only. What kind of thing is the Jurchen, and is it worth joining in?Two tigers fighting each other, how can there be a dog!

However, Zhu Yijun had a different view from the cabinet. He felt that the tiger in the Mongolian Chahar department was too thin and his teeth were not very good. Did he want to loot and make up for himself when he went to the Jurchen?Even... occupy the Jurchen territory?
The reason why Zhu Yijun had such an idea that even the ministers would not think about it is because he heard Gao Wushi mention when he was a child, saying that Liaodong is not only "familiar land" within the Great Wall, in fact, there are other land outside Liaodong. Many good places.Especially a place called "Songnen Plain" by Gao pragmatic, and also called "the best land" by God, saying that the land there is extremely fertile, and if it can be developed and utilized, "it will be no less than good." in Huguang”.

There is nothing wrong with the words of Gao pragmatism. The grain output of the three northeastern provinces in later generations is obvious to all.However, when Gao Wushi said this, he had ulterior motives. He deliberately guided the original little emperor to have ideas about the Northeast, and deliberately did not mention the problems of the Northeast being too cold during the Little Ice Age.As for the cultivation of cold-resistant rice suitable for planting in the cold regions of Northeast China, he will not talk about it.

Zhu Yijun didn't know this, so an idea suddenly popped up at this time: I heard that Burihatu was also studying Tumet, and advised the Tumen to use the Han people who had been kidnapped in the early years to start reclamation.Could it be that he also took a fancy to this "Songnen Plain" and wanted to occupy it, then planted crops and stubbornly resisted my Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Yijun's biggest ideal now is to defeat the Mongolian enemy of the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, completely destroy Can Yuan, and achieve the great cause that neither Taizu nor Chengzu could achieve. "God-sent good soil" began to grow food, and suddenly broke into a sweat.

However, when he summoned the first assistant Shen Shixing in Wenhua Hall to ask the right question, Shen Shixing did not take it seriously, thinking that "Liaodong is already bitterly cold, how to grow grain in northern Liaoning", and at the same time, he brought out the reason that the government treasury was empty, and urged the emperor to now Don't think about it so much, solve the current problem first.

Moreover, Shen Shixing also vaguely criticized the Ministry of Households, thinking that under the current situation, the Ministry of Households "follows the rules" and cannot come up with any mitigation measures, which is really disappointing.

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he was silent for a while, but ended the call in disappointment.
