Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 441
"When I welcomed Lord Wang into the city during the day, I also wanted to see the head brought back by the Lord, but I also saw a few people from Marshal Ma's mansion meowing there."

After talking about congratulations on getting rich, Li Yunsheng sat down and explained with a smile, maybe the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion will do the same, so that the little bit of shame in Li Yunsheng's heart will dissipate, and he will feel more comfortable, so his condition will be better Not a lot.

"Marshal Ma has honored his whole life. He doesn't plan for any future. His eldest son is not in good health, but his second son, Ma Lin, is very promising. He is also a brave general. Now he has become a general and guards at the Longmen Guard. However, Marshal Ma was afraid that something would happen to Marin, so he never allowed Marin to go to war and take risks. He had no decent military achievements, and Marshal Ma retired again. I am afraid that Marin will only be the deputy commander in his life. Marshal Ma will definitely not be reconciled. .”

Wang Tong is also slightly drunk, so I still don't understand what I'm talking about. A head is 150 taels of silver. These heads are easy to cause trouble in my hands. Why don't you sell them? He smiled and said:

"There are still more than 1000 heads. Marshal Ma has a request, how can I not agree."

"What price will Mr. Wang offer this time? Marshal Ma has been in Datong and Xuanfu for so many years, and his family wealth is not comparable to that of Li."

Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Wang Tong was stunned for a while, and he understood that this meant asking himself for more money, but 150 taels is not a lot, so could it be more, hesitatingly said:

"Since Lord Li said so, how about 160 taels?"

Li Yunsheng shook his head, and Wang Tong said again:

"How about 170 taels?"

"260 taels!"

Even if the ground trembled in the morning on the grassland, it is said that thousands of Tartar cavalry came rushing to attack. At that time, it was much calmer than now. I have seen a lot of money in the past few years, but a Tarbarian head is worth 260 taels. , or beyond Wang Tong's expectations.

Even though he had seen the market, Wang Tong still couldn't help asking:

"Is it too expensive?"

"Too expensive? Master Wang has been in the interior for a long time, so he doesn't know the rules of border towns!?"

Li Yunsheng sneered, everyone drank a lot and spoke more casually, Li Yunsheng sneered and said:

"The Tartars invaded the frontier in a large scale, plundered people and belongings and returned to the north. The court and the Ministry of war ordered them to pursue them. Whoever wanted to go to die outside the Great Wall would come back after going thirty miles away. But if there was no leader, they would go to various castles to collect them. Chupuzi can still behead more than a dozen heads every year, and there are even Tatars who beheaded the males of their small tribes to pay back the money for salt."

Wang Tong was listening there with his mouth wide open. First, Li Yunsheng came to drink, and secondly, everyone has done head business, and because of Li Tao's relationship, he didn't care too much about what he said, and continued:

"To catch up with that season, the head of a Tartar soldier is worth 400 taels. Mr. Wang came at an untimely time. The recent peace, the price will not be available for a while..."

***************
It was almost mid-February, and there was a little warmth in the Xuan Mansion, and it was much more comfortable to walk outside.

Wang Tong's behavior in the past few days is not at all like officials from the capital and Tianjin Wei, but like a farmer in the countryside who has not been to the city for many years, he is always shocked.

When I came to Xuanfu, I was having a banquet at Li Yunsheng's mansion, and I was already shocked by the magnificence of the deputy commander-in-chief's mansion. When I came to the mansion of Ma Fang, the acting general of Xuanfu at noon, I didn't know that I saw it in Li's house. It's really nothing.

"Such extravagance, even the imperial palace can't match it!"

Wang Tong was shocked by the magnificence in front of him, and couldn't help but tell Cai Nan beside him that the two of them were sitting in the living room, and Ma Fang had a high status, so there was no need to go out to meet the two of them, they had to wait in the living room.

Saying that a certain place is richer than the imperial palace, at some point, it can constitute a crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family. The servants and maids standing behind them all changed their faces.

However, Cai Nan and Wang Tong have worked together for a long time, and he also knows that his adult's speech is sometimes erratic. Cai Nan himself was shocked when he saw the regulations of Ma Fang's mansion, so he echoed in a low voice:

"Whatever you want to build in the palace is very troublesome. There are many layers of review and approval, and there are such and such rules. On the contrary, the courtiers outside don't care, and they can repair it if they have money. But this place is indeed more beautiful and rich than the palace. I guess , it's comfortable to live in..."

While talking, a big man wearing a Confucian gown walked into the living room. This big man looked less than 30 years old, tall and burly, needless to say, with a mighty look in his eyes and demeanor.

When you meet such a person on the street, no matter who you meet, they will subconsciously say that they are really brave warriors, but this kind of person is wearing a Confucian green shirt, which is neither fish nor fowl, it is as awkward as it is.

"See Master..."

The maids and servants serving in the living room all bowed in unison. Only then did Wang Tong and Cai Nan know that this big man was Ma Fang's son. They heard that Ma Fang's eldest son, Ma Dong, was serving as a general in Ningxia. His son Ma Lin is guarding the Longmen Guard, and now he is a guerrilla in Xuanfu. These two are generals, but why is this one dressed as a scribe.

Wang Tong even thought that Ma Fang might have a son. The big man glanced at Wang Tong and the others, and immediately a servant went over to whisper a few words. The big man quickly bowed and said:

"I've met Mr. Wang and Eunuch Cai. Ma Lin is being polite. I didn't know the identities of the two distinguished guests just now. It's a bit terse, please forgive me."

It turned out to be the second son Ma Lin, Wang Tong and Cai Nan quickly stood up and returned the salute, but they were puzzled in their hearts, he was obviously a general, how could he dress and behave like a literati.

Both parties sat down, and Marin leaned over and said with a smile:

"My lord Wang went to the outside of the Great Wall and inadvertently made a world-class feat. This kind of bravery is really admirable."

"It's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence, it's worth nothing!"

Anyway, most of the heads are sold for money, and Wang Tong didn't want to say too much. He smiled and said a few words humbly, but Marin said over there again:

"There are 310 frontier soldiers in the Xuanfu, but only [-] people were beheaded last year, and Lord Wang's Huwei camp was only [-]. How could there be such a big harvest? A few days ago, people from Zhangjiakou Fort sent a letter, and Ma couldn't figure it out. May I ask Sir Wang to teach me a thing or two?"

It turned out that he was picking faults, everyone in the Xuan family stared at the head he slashed, only this one wanted to know how he fought, how he achieved such a victory, and felt it was not credible.

In fact, the provocative meaning of the latter question is already extremely serious, but for some reason, Wang Tong immediately took a liking to this Ma Lin. Among them, some people are willing to work hard!
Wang Tong sat up straighter and said:
"I don't know if Master Ma has seen the cart in Wang's team..."

Cai Nan glanced at Wang Tong in surprise, he knew that Wang Tong had a fiery personality, and if others targeted him, he would definitely retaliate ruthlessly, why was he so kind today.

Marin over there didn't expect Wang Tong to answer so kindly, and he heard that the other party meant to explain seriously, and the grudges in his heart disappeared for a while. He originally thought that Wang Tong had killed more than 3000 people. It is unbelievable that there are more Tartar cavalry than oneself.

I didn't expect that the other party didn't use strong words, but was ready to speak the truth. I wondered for a while, did the other party really want to explain in detail how to have such a record? How can the spoiled soldiers in the inland fight out.

However, Wang Tong only said something here, and Ma Fang had already walked out of the inner hall, and laughed loudly as soon as he entered the room and said:

"I'm getting old, I can't sleep at night, but I can't wake up during the day, it makes the two distinguished guests wait for a long time!"

The laughter was loud and full of energy. If Wang Tong hadn't known in advance that Ma Fang was 61 years old this year, he wouldn't have believed that the laughter came from him.

Ma Fang fled from Mongolia to Shanxi at the age of 16. He started as a pawn in the border town of Datong and made great achievements. According to the text, some people say that he is "the most brave general in the world" and some people say that he is "not as brave as Ma Fang". Before Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Li Chengliang showed their prestige, Ma Fang was synonymous with the word brave.

When he was in the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, Wang Tong heard Li Tao and the others from the Xuan Mansion talking about him. He had heard a lot about Ma Fang's deeds during his journey from west to north. People always worship heroes. Wang Tong I also want to see what this world famous general looks like.

Yu Dayou has grown stronger and stronger in his old age, and his knives with bow, horse, sword and spear have not diminished. Every day, he thinks about passing on what he has learned to the young people. What kind of person is Ma Fang, whose reputation is somewhat better than Yu Dayou's.

Ma Fang, as the chief soldier of Xuan Mansion, has long been prominent, and his status is far above Wang Tong and Cai Nan. Hearing the loud voice, the two of them quickly stood up and bowed to salute, saying, "So and so has seen Mr. Ma".

He raised his head, but he didn't see any mighty and strong old man. Instead, he was a fat old man wearing a robe with five bats and money patterns. His beard was neatly combed, and there was no trace of white. There were two maids there supporting him, Wang Tong understood this particularity, rich and noble people in the capital had to be supported by servants to show that they were pampered, but he didn't expect that the "Number One Hero in the World" would be like this.

Wang Tong was a little taken aback. Ma Fang seemed to have a knife scar on his face, but it was already very pale. The outstretched hand was quite thick, which is normal for generals, but there was a white jade ring on it. Generals usually have rings to protect their arrows. , are generally made of copper and iron, gold and silver are used for some, but white jade can be used, which has no practical significance at all, and is full of wealth and nobility.

"The preparations were hasty and there is nothing good. Please don't be offended by Wang Yingguan."

Ma Fang said enthusiastically.
