Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 979 Ma Family and Son Go to Gaizhou

Since there is going to be military training, there are three "pre-projects" that need to be done in advance, that is, the Qing army, the hook army and the whole army.

The so-called Qing army refers to finding out the specific situation of the current army, including but not limited to finding out the number of personnel, old and weak, disabled, etc., as well as finding out the specific number of ordnance in the army, whether it is well maintained, spare stocks, etc. Details.

The so-called hook army actually refers to conscription. In view of the overall situation of the Liaodong guards, and because of the lack of wars in the southern part of Liaoning, the military equipment is likely to be weaker than that of Liaoxi and even Liaodong. Therefore, recruitment is mostly inevitable.

As for the reorganization of the army, it can be roughly regarded as a reorganization. This is the consistent practice of high pragmatism. When he was in Annan, he recruited and surrendered the army several times. It is intended to build on this successful experience.

As Jin Fuhai Gai Bingbei, Gao Yushi certainly has the power to do these things, but Gao Yushi is not someone who has never worked at the grassroots level. He knows that when the master Bingbei gives an order, although he will definitely move his head, he will never execute it. Too "powerful", especially the Qing army.

The corruption of the guards is really not a day's cold, not to mention that officers at all levels from the commander to the envoy are members of this "corrupt system", and they will not have the subjective initiative of the "Qing army".Even if the commander took the wrong medicine and was really willing to find out such an extremely offensive matter in the army, he would be easily deceived by the officers at all levels below, and the effect may not be trustworthy.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatism had to transfer General Xuan to the "Qing Army" of the Liaonan Guards.

The generals of Xuanda belong to the direct line of the Gao Party. Although they still have bad debts in Xuanda, they are not necessarily cleaner than the generals of Liaodong. , especially when there are "big brothers" at the top, they really don't dare!
Anyway, I will return to Xuanda sooner or later after I finish this job, and I will not settle in Liaodong. If I offend others, I will offend others. What are you afraid of?Offending your Liaodong general is much less troublesome than offending your backer, right?Grandpa still doesn't understand this account?
This is the main reason why Gao Wushi transferred Ma Dong, Ma Chengen, and Zhang Wanbang here, not because Gao Wushi felt that the Liaodong generals were a big deal, or dared not to listen to his orders during the war.

At least the Liaodong generals are still capable of fighting at the moment. As for whether they will not listen to orders during the war—you treat me as a military constitutional master, this grand supervising army is for nothing, and will you not dare to kill people?
Besides, the Ming Dynasty used beheadings to judge meritorious deeds. Although Li Chengliang defeated many enemy troops in the original history, the total number of beheadings was only 200. How many people were killed in World War I?All of these military achievements should be counted as his "commander in chief"!

With his current prestige in the military circle, and the fact that he is the most respected civil servant in Ming Dynasty, what's the point of killing a few generals who don't obey orders?

It doesn't count that Li Chengliang killed a nephew of Li Rugui, and he quickly transferred Kong Dongru away without saying a word, why?Is it because I was afraid of breaking another one, so I simply left Liaonan to Gao Yushi to toss and forget!
This is the so-called Lao Tzu can't afford to provoke, can't he still hide.

Looking at it for the time being, Li Chengliang can indeed hide, because Gao Yu is very pragmatic and doesn't intend to make money. Now he is focused on rectifying Liaonan.

After another seven or eight days, Ma Dong, who had been rushing all the way here, finally arrived. What's more, he brought his father, Ma Fang, along with him when he was in Kaiping.

As soon as the father and father arrived in Gaizhou, Gao Bingxian opened the city to welcome them. For a general, this was extremely grand, so that Ma Dong almost shed tears.

Of course, Ma Dong also knew that if he was the only one coming, Gao Bingxian would probably sit in the Bingxian Yamen and wait for him to come over to meet him.

But that's not important, what's important is that Gao Bingxian is giving his Ma family face!

Ma Fang herself was also very excited. What kind of tone are the civil servants of Ming Dynasty? He has worked hard all his life, how could he not know?When he was still in the army, a magistrate dared to swagger in front of him, speaking slowly and unhurriedly, and even a few county magistrates who came from Jinshi on the gold list dared to treat each other with respect in front of him.

But who is Gao Bingxian, his current employer?Annan Dingbei's six champions!

Such a person can actually open the city to welcome him in person. Just because of this face, he is enough to "flee south and return back" and help each other wholeheartedly!

So when Gao Wushi stepped forward with a smile and planned to hand over his hand, Ma Fang, Ma Dong and his son had all turned over and dismounted. Don’t dare to be, don’t dare to be ashamed!”

Gao Wushi laughed and stepped forward, supported Ma Fang with both hands, patted the old general on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "I wanted to ask the old general to spend his life in Kaiping, and give me some advice for the servants in my spare time. Unexpectedly, the emperor's kindness is very heavy, and I am a weak scholar who is in charge of this huge place in southern Liaoning. I am really trembling. , I missed the emperor's important matter, so I had to ask Brother Chongzhai to come forward and invite the old commander."

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned to Ma Dong, bent down and stretched out his hand, "Brother Chongzhai, although you and I have never met in the past, we are not outsiders, please hurry up."

Although Gao Yushi was a vain supporter, Ma Dong didn't dare to let him support him. He stood up and bowed slightly: "Dong has long admired the reputation of the military constitution, and now he is able to serve under the military constitution. He is really lucky. Dong has always Clumsy, there is nothing else to say, just four words: I will never give up!"

He said it was clumsy, and Ma Fang had mentioned this in front of Gao Yushi before, but today he spoke very smoothly, probably because he has pondered and practiced this passage countless times along the way .

Gao Wushi laughed: "What are you dying for? If I use you, Ma Chongzhai, to death, who will dare to work under my command in the future? Besides, the old man has been on the border for decades, and he is powerful. You are the son of the old man , You are a hero, who in southern Liaoning can put you to death?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ma Dong said with shame: "Bingxian has too much reputation. My father often said that my brothers are unworthy, and I can't learn half of his abilities. Now that Bingxian says the same thing, Dong is really more and more frightened, for fear of ruining my father's reputation."

Gao Wushi looked at Ma Fang with a smile, only to see Ma Fang snorted softly, and said with a straight face: "Do you think I just scolded you two just casually?"

Then Chao Gao said pragmatically: "Dong... military constitution, to tell the truth, in terms of martial arts, the two brothers Gouzi are not inferior to the old man, and in terms of marching formation, they are about [-]% to [-]% good, but with this temperament, they are really useless." .”

He sighed, and said again: "Let's talk about today's situation. If I were an old man in those days, I'm afraid I would ask you one, two, three, four, and talk about the military affairs in southern Liaoning first, but you Look at him, all he knows is that he will never give up! Ha, he will never give up? You are a soldier who eats food, and you are supposed to do what you should do. There is a fart to talk about!"

Ma Dong was scolded by his father in front of Gao Pragmatic, but he just blushed and didn't dare to show dissatisfaction at all, let alone refute.

Gao Wushi saw that he was also pitiful, and said to Ma Fang: "Old man, calm down, anyone who has a father like you can only have this kind of temper. For this matter, don't blame Wansheng for talking too much—your responsibility It's actually bigger."

Ma Fang didn't expect Gao Wushi to say this, but he wasn't angry, he just said in surprise: "The responsibility of the old man is even greater? Why?"

You see, you are always a retired veteran cadre, and you always speak "why" instead of "why", don't you understand?With your temper here, and the son who has been trembling under your prestige, can you have the courage and courage?

Some old book friends asked about the historical evolution of the word "adult". This question is actually very interesting. I will briefly describe it when the plot is appropriate in the follow-up. However, if it is unclear in a few words, I may directly Give a paper title and let interested friends read it by themselves.Sorry for being scolded a lot.
