.Chapter 779 Volume of Hiraoka

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The specific tactical meeting was intense and long. Chen Dou really listened for a while and saw Hu Yong appear at the door again. He signaled him not to come in, and silently put on a cloak and walked out of the barracks.

The wind outside was cold and hard, so it poured into my neck. Chen Shu quickly raised his collar and felt that his body was about to shrink into a ball.

"Sir, something happened." Hu Yong quickly reported the report.

"Horse Dongning or the governor's office?"

"None of them..." Hu Yong whispered: "It's General Ma..."

"Ma Fang, what's wrong?" Chen Si frowned.

"He actually entered the camp of Xuanda reinforcements," Hu Yong said: "He encouraged the officers and soldiers to fight the Tartars with him. On the spot, the entire battalion wanted to follow him, and Governor Xuanda could not stop him."

Is this too bold? Isn’t this a cold feeling immediately after being silent and asked, “What’s the situation now?”

"How could Governor Wang ask him to take the people away? While taking people to block the camp gate, he asked someone to pass the message to the city and report to the Ministry of War to know..." Hu Yong said: "The people from the Fufu Department said that Yang Bo has come to Andingmen. It seems that he is going to go out of the city to deal with it."

"What are you waiting for? Get ready..." said silently: "The busier you are, the more chaotic you are."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ma Fang was very depressed.

People often say that if Altan is the nemesis of the Ming Dynasty brought to God, then Ma Fang is the nemesis of the nemesis of the God brought to Altan. Others cannot beat Altan, and countless people have lost their official positions and been imprisoned. However, Ma Fang's achievements in this life were all established in Altan.

Just when he beat Altan to the point of being irritated and he was so determined to take the initiative, he withdrew him from the front line and went to Baoding to serve as the Prime Minister of the Soldiers. Ten years were the most golden years for military generals, but they were all wasted... It's not that training was not important, but Ma Fang was not suitable for this. His strength was to lead troops to fight. The reason why the Ma family army could compete with the Mongolian cavalry was because of his example of leading by example, his heroic brotherly loyalty, and the murderous aura tempered on the battlefield of blood and fire.

He shouted very early, "The strong barbarians are strong, and the strong is to live in war. The weak army is weak, and the weak is to fear the death of war." In every battle, he led by himself and killed the enemy in blood. After the robes gave him the nickname "Ma Crazy Man". After becoming a general, he asked his subordinates to be crazy with him. In order to make his subordinates fear the enemy and the company will be in danger of death, he re-established the "military warfare company law" stipulates that in the battle, those who are afraid of the enemy but not the front, the soldiers will be killed. He set an example. Even after becoming the general, he still took the lead in rushing to the enemy in every battle, causing his subordinates to serve him desperately. Only then did he create a team of Ma Jiajianer who made the Tartars scared in a narrow road encounter with the enemy again and again.

It is only a dream to let him train a powerful brigade comparable to the Ma family army in the rear far away from the front line. Needless to say, Ma Fang himself wasted his anger first and wasted eight years in vain. If Tan Lun had not arrived and had tempted to untie his heart, he might have been drunk and dreaming. After cheering up, he finally began to perform his duties. So far, he had trained more than 20,000 qualified cavalry for each town.

This time, I heard that Altan made a big attack, and he also led the 4,000 cavalry who had just completed the training and had not yet been assigned to each town to follow Tan Lun. But he knew very well that his current subordinates had only mastered the skills of cavalry and had not yet learned the last lesson, which was a real battle with real swords and guns. If he had not experienced real battles, he would always be a useless rookie. He had to accumulate experience little by little in small-scale battles and gradually become stronger. This is the kingdom.

The purpose of Ma Fang bringing them here is to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield, and at most participate in small-scale battles and accumulate some experience. He never thought that as soon as he came up, he would have to fight tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, which would definitely be wiped out.

But the plan is not as good as change. When he heard that the Mongols captured Shizhou City and massacred 50,000 compatriots, he was furious. He seemed to see his miserable year, which was staged on countless children. The war immediately became fierce and unstoppable. So when Tan Lun said that the court wanted to organize a counterattack, he signed up without hesitation and said that he was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who hesitated to sign up without hesitation.

But he can't expect a group of new recruits to follow him to complete the raid, attack, and break through? If you want to do such a difficult and high-risk job well, there is only one way, that is, to gather your old friends to lead the new, and you can fight.

So he said to Tan Lun and went straight to the barracks where Xuan Dabing was stationed. If Jiang was still old, as soon as he came up, Ma Fang brought a few guards and put them in the barracks without making any big fuss. As a result, he thought he was here to reminisce with his old subordinates and old friends, and no one even notified the governor or general, so that he could easily gather all the generals of the Ma family army.

Soldiers value feelings the most, especially when facing the old superiors who brought them supreme glory, they were so excited that they could not control themselves. Many people even burst into tears when they saw him. They were all recruited by Ma Fang from the border residents who were good at riding and shooting. They were not from military households who had been in the army for generations. Their current official rank was entirely due to Ma Fang's promotion back then. As a result, in the ten years after Ma Fang was transferred, these people were almost never promoted, and some were even demoted and used, and they all led troops at the grassroots level. When they met Ma Fang this time, they were like a child who was wronged and met his mother. How could they not be excited?

Seeing that he had never left them, Ma Fang was naturally very pleased, so he said to everyone: "Brothers, in the 31st year of Jiajing, I submitted a memorial to the court, proposing to 'Send all the visitors to Xuanfu, and use the villagers to defend the countryside, so that the tiger army can be obtained.' The court adopted this proposal and allowed me to recruit young and strong troops in Shanxi, which led to the gathering of our brothers." He said this not only to reminisce about the past, but also to mobilize: "Why should villagers guard the countryside, because it is the nature of a man to defend his hometown, protect his parents, wives and children."

"What is nature? Tigers know how to defend their territory, and cattle and horses know how to protect their cubs. This is the nature that nature cannot do this, animals are not as good as animals." Ma Fang's skin is thick and black, not tall, square and wide, with a thick beard. Her eyes shining with tears, and her voice was raised: "As the defenders of Xuanda, we cannot protect our hometown. We let the Tartars ruin all the prefectures in Shanxi, and the city of Shizhou is destroyed. What are the faces of 50,000 unjust souls? How can we face the elders of our hometown? Can't we even compare to animals?"

Although the mobilization of Prince Ma's combat was rough, it was effective in its effectiveness. The generals seemed to have found the wolf in the wolves, and all fell into madness and screamed: "Take revenge and expel the Tartars for revenge and expel the Tartars for revenge and expel the Tartars for revenge and expel the Tartars for revenge and expel the Tartars."

This earth-shaking roar alarmed the Governor of Xuanda Wang Zhigao who was drinking in the camp, as well as the General of Xuanfu Xing Yu, General of Datong Zhou Lianjie and others, and were shocked and said: "What's wrong, has the camp exploded?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wang Zhigao was also very depressed.

Before this month, he always felt that his life was very smooth. He became a scholar at the age of 18 and a juren at the age of 22. He became a Jinshi the following year. He was successful at a young age and won the first grade. After entering the officialdom, he also went very smoothly with his talents. He was first appointed as the magistrate of Jishui, Jiangxi Province. He was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Revenue. He was later promoted to the Ministry of War and served as the Procuratorate of Henan. Soon after, he was transferred to the Shanxi Provincial Administration for Administration and was promoted to the Left-level Office of the General Administration of the Shanxi Provincial Administration and was promoted to the Deputy Envoy of the General Administration of the Shanxi Provincial Administration. Soon after, he was promoted to the Deputy Envoy of the General Administration of the Shanxi Provincial Administration.

Because of his outstanding performance, he was soon promoted to the right assistant censor and governor of Liaodong. He was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. In the 44th year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the right imperial censor and the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and the military affairs of Xuanda Shanxi. At his early 40s, he became a second-rank official. Not only was he unique in the same year, but he even looked at the previous and subsequent subjects. In addition to his unprecedented clumsy words, it was also considered the first.

Of course, everything has internal reasons. Although he is a talent, he is the only one who has many talents in the Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, seven points rely on hard work and three points to help noble people. He also has a noble person, who was his former old leader, the 30th year of Jiajing. When he was appointed as the Fangshi Officer of the Ministry of War, the left assistant minister was named Yang Bo, and he appreciated him very much. During those years of working together, the two formed deep friendships. With the care of noble people, Lord Wang became more wings and rose up straight, which was no problem.

But by last month, his good luck seemed to have been used up. Altan Khan led 60,000 troops to the forefront, and Wang Zhigao strictly guarded the enemy as usual. As a result, he didn't know whether Altan became cunning or had a capable person around him, but he saw through the official army mainly defending Xuanfu and Datong, while Shanxi was weak in the army, with sparse pavilions and weak in the guards. He boldly bypassed Xuanda and attacked Shuozhou, Laoying and Bitouguan in three ways. As a result, the deputy general of the old camp Tian Shiweiyingcheng defended himself, and the guerrilla Fang Zhen failed in the battle, and opened the gap by him and led his troops to the south.

When Wang Zhigao heard the change, he was so shocked that he was no longer looking at the face. He arrived at Yanmen with 6,000 cavalrymen. Datong and 20,000 cavalry in Yansui also arrived, but because of the large number of Altan soldiers, he was afraid to watch from afar and did not dare to fight. As a result, the suspect soldiers set up by him were scattered, and nearly 30,000 people were stuck in Yanmen Pass. They were sent to the army after they saw it out, but the news of the fall of Shizhou also came...

When he heard that Shizhou City was broken and Altan massacred the city, 50,000 people died in a bad way, Wang Zhigao knew that he was finished now - the failure of the field battle could still be covered, but the city was destroyed and the city was slaughtered. This was something that no one could have covered, and it would have known to everyone in the world. If the old commander had not been in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel and gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, the Jinyiwei would have come to his house long ago.

I heard that the court wanted to organize a counterattack, expel the Tartars, and avenge a single arrow from Shizhou. Wang Zhigao and his generals regarded this counterattack as an opportunity for redemption and wrote letters to ask for battle. Who knew that what they had come was indeed Yang Bo's scolding and strict orders that were not allowed to go to war.

He was stunned, until he heard that the Minister of Rites was silent, and Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of Revenue, held a pre-war meeting in Shenji Camp with a group of generals. Only then did he taste it. It turned out that there were also important battles in the court, but not in the battle. His old boss obviously did not resist the battle. So what else could he do?

But if you don’t go to the battle, you can’t make a contribution. Then you can’t settle the score after the autumn. You guys are so depressed that they don’t have the heart to train the troops. They gather together and drink a lot of wine...

Just as he was dizzy when he heard the sound of shocking sounds, Governor Wang woke up and stood up and said, "What's going on?" A senator quickly went out to check, and turned around for a while, and said, "The great general is not good, Prince Ma is poaching."

"Prince Ma?" Wang Zhigao said with a dark face: "Ma Fang? What do he want to do?"

"No matter what you do, stop him quickly." The senator said anxiously: "The meeting has ended now. His old subordinates have all gone back to join the team and want to fight the Tartars with him. They are about to leave the camp."

"Is this so great?" Everyone changed their color and said, "He really thought he was Prince Ma, and he regarded the king's laws and military disciplines as dirt."

"Hurry up, assemble your personal troops to block the military camp." Wang Zhigao asked the guards to put on armor and hang swords on him, and said with a dark face: "The rest of them will follow me."

"Do you want to report to the Ministry of War?" the senator asked in a low voice.

"What kind of report?" Wang Zhigao frowned and said, "Do you still think it's not embarrassing?"

"Sure family scandals should not be made public." The senator's voice was even lower: "But a mere military general dares to act so boldly, I'm afraid there is someone behind him..."

Wang Zhigao's movements were obviously stagnant, and he obviously listened to this. After a while, he nodded fiercely and said, "No, I don't care about so much, you go and send a message." Then he took his subordinates and quickly stepped out of the central army's tent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yang Bo is also very depressed.

From the New Year to the present, nothing has been going well. Lao Yangbo admitted that the Shanxi merchants wanted to put pressure on the court through the Mongol invasion to achieve the goal of opening border trade... Just like Wang Zhi, although he had the main channels of smuggling, he still wanted to open a maritime ban. The two principles were the same.

Although he did not agree to take the initiative, it was different from their starting point. Yes, the Shanxi merchants could not represent him, nor could he represent the Shanxi merchants. Although he was the protector of the Shanxi merchants, he was also an official of the court. The principle when dealing with problems was to first the country and then the villagers... at least it was to take into account both, and it would not be reversed and harm the country.

But many times, can we really tell the difference? I’m afraid he doesn’t dare to be so sure. So others can’t tell the difference even more... This time, the Tartars invaded, he advocated the strategy of “staying and waiting for the enemy to retreat”. Decades of experience told him that this is the most reasonable choice. Looking at the past history, it was like this every time. Although it was accompanied by controversy every time, the support voice always overwhelmed the opposition voice. So he thought this time was no exception.

But sometimes experience really only represents the past, and may even be in the opposite direction from reality. For example, this time, Gao Gong first expressed fiercely that he wanted to go to fight, and then he was silent and pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner. In the name of Xu Jie, an irreversible wave of public opinion was created. The most hateful thing was that Xu Jie also acquiesced to all this. As a result, after a long time of work, everyone became good people and was just a bad guy. There were even rumors that he was not allowed to go to fight because the Shanxi merchants and the Mongolians had an agreement, and they were getting darker and darker.

As a result, reinforcements were smashed and looted again today. Although they were silenced, everyone in the capital knew that the fuse of this incident was that the military supplies sent were short of weight and inferior to good ones, which annoyed the reinforcements. It then triggered the siege of the bad-hearted Shanxi merchants making money from the national crisis.

It's ridiculous. Shanxi merchants have only such a promising prospect. By using inferior products as good people, short of weight, and earning a small amount of money to spend, they can become the world's number one business group? Unless the Ming Dynasty only has this one.

The success of Shanxi merchants relies on honest management, long-term vision, and good relations with the government. How can we make trouble with the military supplies of the Ministry of War? This is the emperor's feet and cannot hide anything. If something happens, do they still have a signature? Do they still have a relationship with the government? If you think about such a short-sighted thing, it is impossible for Shanxi merchants to do it.

But just because he, the Minister of War, is from Shanxi, those censors and public opinion, are considered to be a bad-hearted Shanxi merchant. After a while, rumors spread everywhere, and they are even more slight. But Lao Yang has gained insight, what does it mean to be 'human words are fearful'.

He had just ordered people to seal up the unissued military supplies and check the past accounts to clear the suspicion of the Ministry of War. However, he received a report from Wang Zhigao that Ma Fang came to his barracks to poach people and said that he wanted to take them to fight the Tartars. But he actually had the intention of following him and we were blocking them. What should we do next? Please make sure that the master of the government office quickly decide.

This is simply unheard of strange things in the world. Yang Bo could not imagine how far the Xuan Dabing's military experience would be able to easily lead a general who had been away for ten years.

"Hurry, go and have a look." Without caring about the work at hand, Yang Bo quickly ordered someone to prepare for the horse.

"Ministry, the city gate has been locked." The subordinate whispered: "You have to get the key." After the nine gates of the capital were locked, no one could open the door until dawn. There were only two exceptions. One was that the emperor had a special order, and the other was that he, the Minister of War, who was in charge of the defense of the capital, personally took the key to open it... Of course, this privilege cannot be used easily unless he encountered an urgent military situation of 100,000 yuan.

"Go." Yang Bo nodded. He thought this time it would be a "100,000-strong military information."

So the group hurriedly rode away from the Ministry of War. Because there was no one on the street, they soon arrived at Andingmen. As soon as Yang Bo showed his token, he asked Qianhu, who was on duty, to open the city gate, and heard someone calling him behind him, "Hehe, Puzhou Gong, what a coincidence, you are going out too?"
