Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 180 Is Bao Ma a Traitor?
"The last general, Ma Bao, see the prime minister, this man is La Bu, who was captured by the last general himself."

As he said that, Ma Bao threw the person on the ground with one hand easily like throwing a ball, while La Bu was really like a ball, except that his eyes were full of aggrieved feelings. Besides, the whole body didn't move at all, it was obvious that acupuncture points had been tapped.

It is naturally impossible for a top fighter like Lu Bu in the original history to not know martial arts.

Liu Dapao didn't even look at La Bu, excitedly and excitedly stepped forward to help Ma Bao himself, shook his hand desperately, and said very sincerely: "General Ma, there is no need to be polite, I never I like others to kneel to me, and my shareholders of Daming do not kneel to anyone except His Majesty, winning a general today is really like adding wings to a tiger!"

As he said that, he pulled Ma Bao into his carriage and sat down involuntarily, and then ordered to continue marching to take Zhangzhou and Nanchang.

Labu suffered a disastrous defeat, and these two places were already in his pocket, almost at his fingertips.

When everyone saw that Ma Bao, a general who had just joined, was treated so courteously by Liu Dapao, the rest of the people were also quite envious, but they had no choice but to admit it.

After all, Ma Bao captured Rabu alive, and Ma Bao was one of Wu Sangui's ten town commanders before, and he was not an unknown person. At this time, he suddenly reinforced Liu Dapao, let alone winning the battle. Come on, even if this battle is fought poorly, Liu Dapao must treat him with respect and courtesy.

The political significance of this matter is far greater than its military significance.

And sure enough, after a few simple polite words, Liu Dapao urgently asked the question that he wanted to ask the most in his heart, without beating around the bush: "General Ma, I dare to ask you why you came to aid this time. Did the Generalissimo mean it, or did you mean it yourself?"

Ma Bao thought for a while, and said: "In the Western Army, although there are many people, the factions are still relatively complicated. Those who can really command the three armies and hold key positions are either his nephew or his son-in-law. For example, I am in Quzhou. Even under the restraint of his son-in-law Hu Guozhu, I have asked for instructions several times, hoping to lead an army alone, but..."

Hearing this, it was Liu Bingquan who suddenly laughed and said: "Hu Guozhu is a great talent, who doesn't know that he is a real hero, a real hero, and he is almost the same as this Labu. It is a stroke of genius, the timing is just right, it is indescribably wonderful, how could it be Hu Guozhu's meaning? General Ma, a hero in the world, is wronged to succumb to such mediocre hands."

This remark is a bit of a pun. It not only praised Ma Bao in a disguised form, but also stepped on Hu Guozhu fiercely. This is a determined attempt to poach Wu Sangui's corner. In Hu Guozhu's ears, he was afraid that Ma Bao might not be able to go back. After all, his relationship with Hu Guozhu was not very good.

The second-in-command with ability and character usually has a stiff relationship with the incompetent and unmeasured first-in-command.

He really deserves to be the top traitor among the traitors. This is very clever, and Liu Dapao can't help it.

Ma Bao also heard this meaning, but simply followed this trend, and he didn't know whether to explain or slander: "Quzhou's war pressure is still relatively high, and the opponent Le Erjin, to be honest, is indeed better than this Rab It needs to be much stronger, the pressure is too great, so that Director Hu really dare not be distracted, this time to help, the last general did not make his own claim, and only led two thousand trusted cavalry."

Liu Dapao laughed even happier when he heard the words. To be honest, Liu Dapao did not believe that Ma Baoguang's trusted cavalry could pull out 2000 cavalry. Although Wu Sangui's army did have more cavalry than Liu Dapao, they never reached this place. Ma Bao's trip was at least acquiesced by Hu Guozhu.

But does it matter now?It doesn't matter at all.

The Qing army has Mu Zhan, and the Wu army has Ma Bao. This is one of the two most capable generals in the middle and late stages of the San Francisco Rebellion in the early Qing Dynasty. Since he offered to send it to his door, how can he not accept it?
Immediately, he laughed heartily, and then took Ma Bao's hand numbly, and sighed half-truthfully: "Kangxi has the power of the whole country, but after all, he dare not let half of the Han people in the entire Northern Dynasty When the generals reached the edge of power, Aixinjueluo was the one who really held the commanding power. He even did not hesitate to let a boy in his early 20s like Labu become the general, but he didn't want to. Generals are so talented that they dare not reuse them."

After all, Liu Dapao said to Ma Bao very seriously: "My Daming Xinchuang is just waiting for a lot of waste, and when there is an urgent shortage of talents, my Daming has never been rigid in hiring people. Myself, neither nephews nor in-laws, nor a large military family."

"After the pacification of Nanchang, the military system will be reformed. The four towns of Haifeng will all be relocated to Nanchang. Chenghai is no longer the front line. There is no need to keep so many troops. However, as the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops and hard to find a general. The person in charge is my confidant Feng Zhenhai, he used to be the head of the Tiandihui, I admit that I also made the mistake of employing cronyism."

"Now, although Lao Feng has been dismissed from office, he is suffering from the fact that no one is available. It can be said that he has broken his heart for the candidate of the general guard. General Ma understands the righteousness and takes the initiative to help. His loyalty can be learned. Sun and Moon, if General Ma does not give up, I will hand over [-] troops from these four towns to you, General Ma?"

Ma Bao, his brain is buzzing.

He is not a direct descendant of Wu Sangui, and he is indeed more willing to be labeled as a general of the Ming army than a general of the Wu army, but what is the situation in the four towns of the total capital!

Am I not new here?
Aren't the soldiers and horses of the four towns all directly subordinate to Liu Dapao?
How about you entrust your family and life with me?
What the hell! !

Of course, it would certainly not be enough to entrust his family and life. Everyone has an army with stocks, and Ma Bao is the leader of the airborne.

But this appointment, no matter how you look at it, is a bit unbelievable.

After a moment of silence, Ma Bao said: "I am a newcomer, how can I convince the public?"

Liu Dapao smiled bitterly: "There is no one in my hands who is not a newcomer. To be honest, no matter who I ask for this position, I can't convince everyone."

"I... I surrendered to the Qing court, so... I'm considered a traitor, right?"

"For... or not? General Ma, you were Li Zicheng's general at the beginning. You traveled all the way, retreating from the capital to Ganshan, from Ganshan to Yunnan, and fought with Nanming for more than ten years. On the Lancang River, Emperor Yongli fled to Burma, so he had to shave his head and surrender to the Qing Dynasty. I also know about your deeds. After more than ten years of fighting, the soldiers were defeated and retreated to the edge of the border. Surrender at this time, is it counted? Traitor?"

After a pause, he said: "Let's see who you compare with. If you compare with Li Laiheng and Zhang Huangyan, you can be regarded as a traitor, but Li Laiheng and Zhang Huangyan are both dead. According to this standard, all living Han people in this world are considered traitors." , to be honest, if I were yours, I might surrender too."

He patted his thigh and said: "General Ma Bao has served my Ming court all his life, and he deserves nothing. You should be the one to take this position."
