Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 817 Let Ma Gui come with me
Ma Jin, the son of Ma Lu and the brother of Ma Gui, is in his 40s this year, and is a military officer in Datong.

His younger brother, Ma Gui, met Gao Wu at the border of Datong more than ten years ago. At that time, he was in the defense of Desheng Fort. Jin and Jin have generally been working in Xuanda and the three towns of Shanxi, but they are usually not arranged in the same town.

Ma Jin was promoted to chief soldier after Ma Fang became an official, and he has a good relationship with Ma Fang. In addition, the Ma family has guarded the front line of Xuanda Shanxi for generations, and must be attached to the Jin Party and thus become a vassal of the High Party. Ma Jin respected Gao Yushi very much, and approached him respectfully.

"The last general, Ma Jin, welcomes the imperial envoy to Datong."
Because there is a clear record in "Shenzong Shilu", Ma Jin was still in office in the tenth year of Wanli.Even in the 11th year of Wanli, he was impeached by Chen Xingxue, the inspector censor, because Ma Chengxun, the son of Ma Jin (who was the general of Dushibao at that time), extorted a jade belt and 200 taels of silver to celebrate the birthday of Governor Zheng Luo. According to the principle of impeachment, one can be one, so soon Ma Jin was dismissed by the Ministry of War;
The following month, Xuanda Governor Zheng Luo Shangshu defended Ma Jin and said that the rumors heard by the inspectors were wrong, but Zheng Luo still asked to resign. Wanli expressed his comfort and refused to resign; The crime of Jin Ge - please pay attention to this time, the 12th year of Wanli was after Zhang Siwei and Ding You returned home. At this time, there was no one in the Ma Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Party was suppressed by some people. (High grade and low status in the court) will be brought down under such a name.

As for Ma Gui, he was lucky. He was transferred to be the general soldier of Ningxia at the end of the tenth year of Wanli, so he was not implicated too deeply.It can also be seen from the above records that Baidu Encyclopedia really cannot be trusted. ]
Ma Jin is now without armor, and is doing a hands-on salute.

Gao Wushi returned a salute casually with a smile, and said: "Ma Zongrong, I came here 12 years ago, and I had a good relationship with you. It's not too late to make up for it today."

"Jin Sansheng is lucky to meet Gao Gong."

The disparity in the status of civil servants and generals is evident from Ma Jin's tone. Ma Jin is twice the age of Gao Yushi, and he is still a commanding general, so he has to call him "Gao Gong".

Gao Wushi smiled, and asked again: "Where's your brother Magui? Still in the Xuanfu?" Gao Wushi's tone was typical of talking from top to bottom.

But Ma Jin didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, and bowed slightly: "Grand Lao Gao is concerned, brother-in-law is indeed in the Xuanfu. Brother-in-law often mentions the demeanor of Duke Gao in Deshengbao in the past. When I see you today, Jin will know It is even more famous to meet, Gao Gong's "true leader for 200 years", he is outstanding, his appearance of heaven and man makes people feel ashamed."

Uh... your brother is more flattering than your brother, no wonder he got promoted faster.

Gao Wushi said a few words humbly, and then asked: "Ma Jiada's soldiers haven't fought a big battle in the past ten years, so they won't let the arrogant soldiers idle now, right? This time I come here, but there is a possibility of mobilizing troops."

The point of "possibly mobilizing troops" was quite beyond Ma Jin's expectation. If he was in front of ordinary people, Ma Jin would definitely not change his expression and heartbeat, so he would brag first.

However, Gao Yushi's great achievement of "departing from the teacher to fix Annan" was just vigorously promoted by the court. Ma Jin didn't know that Gao Yushi was actually not a very knowledgeable soldier. He dared not Gambling high-practical understanding of military affairs, he had no choice but to say honestly: "Well, it usually looks good, but the general feels that it is not as good as it was ten years ago. If it continues like this, for example, in another 20 years, it might be true. It's not working."

Very good, these words sounded more sincere, and Gao Yushi was quite satisfied—because he also estimated in the same way.

However, what he was satisfied with was Ma Jin's attitude, not Ma's army's state.

The Ma family has been generals for generations, and now there is a saying that "the East is Li and the West is Ma". The core main force of the Ma family's army, the "Da Bing", can't really be raised and abolished. Otherwise, what will happen when the chaos in Ningxia comes?
This life is different from the original history. I don’t intend for anyone to usurp the control of the Jin Party in Shanxi, and I also won’t allow Li Rusong’s Liaodong Army to come to the Northwest to suppress the rebellion—Xuan Da’s Shanxi and Shaanxi three sides are me In the territory of the Real School, let the Liaodong Army come to suppress the rebellion, wouldn't it appear that there is no one in our school?
Besides, their Ma family has a glorious history and is known as the "Mah Jiang".

In fact, the Ma family's fortune was first followed by the civil service route, and then it was changed from civil service to military service.

At that time, during the Zhengde period, Ma Zhang, a right guard, passed the examination of Jinshi from Datong Mansion, and then became the head of the Ministry of Rites.The Ma family's ancestral home was in the upper valley of Qishan Mountain, that is, the Qishan area of ​​Gansu Province in later generations. His family was originally from Semu, and he was good at raising war horses.At that time, there was an urgent need for war horses at the border, so the imperial court asked Ma Zhang to return to his original place of origin, and was appointed as a servant minister, responsible for herding war horses.

After Ma Zhang took office, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and expanded the two grasslands in the south and the north as land for official pastures.All the tea horses and Fanren tribute horses are collected from the temple garden for grazing, and the best stallions are allocated for breeding.

However, due to the loss of Hetao, the imperial court needed a large number of horses. Ma Zhang felt that there was a shortage of manpower, so he simply did not stop doing two things, and recruited his brother Ma Quan as a benevolent army, and also raised horses for the imperial court.

Ma Quan has been familiar with horse nature since he was a child, and relying on Ma Zhang to take care of him, he has become a horse breeder in Taipu Temple. He is unique in herding horses, raising horses, and training war horses.It was also the man who raised horses, Ma Quan, who started the success of the Ma family for several generations, and laid the foundation for several generations of frontier warriors to shine in the annals of history.

The ancients said: "Straight as a string, against border guards; curved like a hook, against feudal lords."Leaving aside the two generations after Ma Quan, let's just talk about Ma Gui's generation.

The eldest son, Ma Jin, needs no introduction. The second son, Ma Fu, was originally the most capable. He made military exploits many times early on, and was regarded as the strongest general of the Ma family's generation, just like Liu Ting when he was young.However, Tian was jealous of Yingcai, and Ma Fu had an accident.

In the year of Jiajing Gengshen, Ida led cavalry to invade Shuipo Temple on a large scale, and Mafu led his soldiers to fight bloody battles on the battlefield. From Sishi to Shenshi, there were many fights, and Ida, who was at the peak of his killing, had to lead his army back to avoid the war. Kai Ma Fu cutting edge.

But after repelling the enemy, Mafu was sweating profusely, and remembered that he had repelled the vicious Alda with his weak force. He was very excited. He laughed and took off his helmet and iron armor to enjoy the cool air.

Unexpectedly, after sweating profusely, the pores opened suddenly, the golden wind penetrated into the bones, the wind and cold hurt the body, and invaded the terminally ill. Since then, he couldn't get sick, and not long after, he died young.

The third son is Ma Gui, whose style name is Chongzhi, and his nickname is Xiquan.He has extraordinary physical strength since he was a child, but when he grows up, he is eight feet tall, with a strong back, a leopard head and eyes around him, his voice is like a bell, and he is very powerful.In terms of martial arts, he was second only to his second brother Ma Fu in the past, but he was better than his elder brother Ma Jin. After Ma Fu died, Ma Gui had no rivals among the young generals in Datong.

But Ma Gui had bad luck in his early years. He followed his father Ma Lu to guard the right guard. He was eager to capture Wei Ang, a thousand household who had defected, and accidentally injured someone's life while capturing him, so he was demoted as an official.Later, due to the continuous border troubles, Dai Zui was appointed and transferred to the garrison of Xinping Fort in Datong.

After Ma Gui was transferred to Xinpingbao, he thought that he was the one who had committed a crime. Although he was on the defensive, he was carrying a scapegoat for a sin and atonement. He was always depressed and unhappy.Be more cautious and conscientious in doing things, and dare not neglect in the slightest.

In the third year of Longqing, Al Da Khan still couldn't forget that Ma's father and son followed Liu Han to destroy Daban Shengcheng, which led to the disastrous defeat of Dashakou and Shachangwa (it is mentioned in the first volume of this book "Xiaoge Lao").

In September, when the autumn was high and the horses were fat, Altan Khan led one hundred thousand cavalry into the fortress from the upper valley and attacked the right guard.The right guard, which seemed impregnable at first, was vulnerable to a single blow, and the Ming army was quickly confined to a few strongholds.

After capturing the right guard, I heard that Ma's father and son transferred to Datong and Xuanfu.In order to avenge their hatred, they went straight to Yingzhou, Huairen, Shanyin, Hunyuan and other places, and were captured one by one wherever they went.Han Shangzhong, the defender of Duzhuang, died in battle, and Wang Liangcai, the magistrate of Shizhou, was killed.

Unexpectedly, when I Da's army turned back, it was about to leave Xinping Fort, but it encountered the guard general Magui.

At that time, the Alda army looted all the way, and the horses were already carrying heavy property, salt and grain.The men of I Da were attached to property and had no intention of fighting, while Ma Gui chased and killed them bravely and gained a lot.

I answered that after the invasion, the imperial court strictly investigated the fortifications in various places, and punished officials who were weak in fighting and defending one by one. Only the Maguiti brigade made a contribution to the suppression and killing. It stands to reason that this credit should be stable.

However, an accident happened—this was the third year of Longqing, Gao Gong was forced to retreat by the power of Xu Jie, and the Jin Party lost its most powerful ally, so Ma Gui, the younger brother of the Jin Party, of course could not take credit.Not only did he not get the credit, but he almost had a big accident.

The source of this incident was buried as early as the 37th year of Jiajing when Alda marched westward to the Weilat tribe. At that time, Alda stationed troops on Zalmahan Mountain, persuaded Gaul and Ming'an tribes to surrender to the Tatars, and formed alliances with the local Hui tribe. Become brothers.

It stands to reason that what I did has nothing to do with Ma's fart, but some people used this incident as an excuse to speculate and say: Ma Gui is a member of the Hui tribe, and now that the Hui tribe has formed an alliance with I, they colluded with Ma Gui to make Ma Gui Guimingli protected the borders of the Ming court, and it was actually an affair with me. Therefore, the Tatar army deliberately did not attack the Ma family, so the Ma family army was able to win repeatedly.

Fortunately, Long Qing was a benevolent king, and he was not stupid. He judged that Ma Gui was probably framed, but since the officials were not even afraid of him as the emperor, and he didn't have Mr. Gao to shield him from the wind and rain at that time, so he didn't He dared to rehabilitate Ma Gui, so he had no choice but to avoid the seriousness and reassign Ma Gui to Desheng Fort. This is also the reason why Gao Wushi was the guard of Desheng Fort when he met Ma Gui for the first time.

In this way, Ma Gui, the unlucky guy, was able to stand up and not be afraid when I said that a hundred thousand cavalry were overwhelming like a prairie storm, but he was pitted by a hidden arrow shot from the gutter. Twelve years ago, his reticence in the face of high-level affairs was actually rooted in his depressed mood.

Fortunately, following Gao Wushi's success in sneak attacking the Chinese Army, Ma Gui's future brightened again—of course, the most important thing is that the Gao Party is stable in this life, and the Jin Party is also stable, Ma Gui He was promoted smoothly all the way to the deputy commander of the Xuanfu.

If it weren't for his elder brother Ma Jin who is already the chief soldier of Datong, it stands to reason that with Ma Gui's qualifications and family background, he should be able to be the chief soldier now.

Ma Gui is a general that Gao Yushi is optimistic about, and Gao Dang has taken care of him over the years, so Gao Yushi's visit to Datong this time also meant to give Ma Gui another ride.

Gao Wushi turned his head to look at Zheng Luo, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fan Xi, Ma Gui, the deputy general of the Xuan Mansion, used to attack the Alta Chinese Army under my command in the past, and also fought against the most powerful general under Alta's command, Qia Taiji. This time, I went north to be canonized outside the Great Wall, and I also want to take him there, thinking that I will accompany you as a guard, I wonder if you are willing to give up love?"

Zheng Luo knew about that incident. He was an official in Shanxi at that time, so he naturally knew about it. , That is his blessing, how can I not follow? Come here, give this official a license to Xuanfu, let Magui pick the elite, come to Datong immediately, and at the same time tell Xuanfu that Magui must be careful when he leaves. There must be no loss at the border."

Seeing that Gao Wushi ordered his younger brother's general, Ma Jin was not annoyed at all. After all, he was already the commander-in-chief, and there was no room for promotion in terms of dispatch. Everyone knows that it is a false title, there is no need to take it too seriously.

Since this is the case, it is obviously the best thing to let the younger brother go because of this credit. Maybe Gao Shizhong is really the lucky star of the younger brother. The last time he came here, he let the younger brother out of bad luck. Two generals".

That's even more impressive than Tieling Li's family!

Therefore, Ma Jin was not only not annoyed, but even excited, and his attitude became more humble.

Next, everyone returned to the governor's office—the governor's office was not here.

Zheng Luo smiled and said to Gao Wushi: "The imperial envoy brought a large army on this trip, and I have ordered Ma Zongrong to arrange the camp and garrison for the imperial envoy, but that place has been vacant for several years before, and it was only recently cleaned up temporarily. , if there is any negligence, please also ask the imperial envoy Haihan."

Gao Wushi naturally smiled and thanked politely, then nodded to Ma Jin, and said, "Mr. Ma has also taken care of it."

Ma Jin hurriedly said: "Don't dare to bother about what is in your duties. If there is anything inappropriate, please ask the imperial envoy to inform the general, and the general will fully cooperate."

Gao Wushi responded with a smile, then straightened his face and coughed lightly.

Everyone knew that the show was coming, and this demeanor seemed to be about serious business.

From Zheng Luo to Jia Yingyuan, to Liu Ping and Ma Jin, they all looked upright, sat solemnly, and spoke pragmatically.

Gao Wushi said: "This canonization is not a simple canonization - the emperor has a secret decree, this time the object of the canonization of King Shunyi is not Xin Ai, but Han Naji!"

Everyone was startled, Jia Yingyuan even stood up suddenly, then felt that he lost his composure, and sat down quickly.

And Zheng Luo also hurriedly said: "Then what about Xin Ai? In this way, if Xin Ai raises an army to make trouble, the various tribes of Tumed will probably be torn apart! Also, what's the attitude of Zhong Jinhatun?"

Ma Jin subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the seat, her veins exposed.On the contrary, Liu Ping, the guarding eunuch of Datong, was the calmest. Although his eyes gradually became suspicious, he sat peacefully.

Gao Wushi waved his hands and said, "Everyone, don't be alarmed, let me hear the details from the imperial envoy."
