Daming, who has just entered May, can be regarded as having mixed feelings.

First of all, there was good news from Ningxia, the Ningxia rebels broke out in civil strife under the high pragmatic divisive plan, Bibai father and son first killed Liu Dongyang, Xu Chao and other generals, and then Bi Chengen had a dispute with Bibai about whether to surrender, Bi Chengen intended to kill his father, but was killed by Bibai.

At the same time, the officers and troops who had always maintained a rough grasp of the situation in the city launched a fierce attack, and the people in Ningxia City were panicked and had their own opinions.

Of course, these people are not sold to a certain extent, because they themselves are the remnants of Bi Chengen, thinking that they are dead left and right, it is better to open the city to see if they can fight for a "leniency".

So Gao pragmatic commanded the army into the city, and the rebels had already fallen apart at this time, and did not organize any decent resistance at all, and were quickly killed and retreated into the inner city.

Although Ningxia is also called Jiancheng, but in the end it is not comparable to Datong, although the outer city is tall and strong, the inner city is much worse, especially because there is no moat, the cannon can almost shoot at close range, and it was bombarded by the artillery mobilized by Gao Shishi, and it was not long before it broke through the city gate.

Originally, although the city gate was broken at that time, the breach was a little high, and it was not convenient to enter, so it should continue to bombard. Unexpectedly, the Bibai rebel army was already a frightened bird at this time, and when they saw that the city gate was broken, they actually dispersed in a hurry and continued to retreat to the Bibai Mansion.

Since this is the case, there is nothing polite to say, and the fight is over.

At that time, Ma Gui, who was in charge of commanding the artillery bombardment, was slightly behind, and was invited by Dong Yikui, the chief soldier of Yansui, to fight first.

Dong Yikui and Dong Yiyuan brothers were rejoicing in getting a military merit, and the Majiada soldiers under Ma Gui took advantage of the situation to cover up the past and went straight to Bibai Mansion. The second Dong fixed his eyes and saw that it was Ma Chengzhao who led the troops, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and did not step forward to grab the credit.

There is one thing to say here, the Magui family is from Datong Youwei, and the relationship with the Dong family from Xuanfu is very close, and from the perspective of the family, the two families are even in-laws. Dong Yikui, Dong Yiyuan and Ma Gui are the same generation, seeing that Ma Chengzhao is the younger generation, the two of them rely on their identities, so naturally they can't compete with juniors.

In fact, the in-law relationship between the border marshal and the generals is very close, especially the generals in the same region (here the same region is roughly limited to the governor's jurisdiction, but Jiliao is a bit unique, and Liaodong can almost be listed separately), not only the Ma family and the Dong family, but also the Ma family, another Xuanda general's family under Gao Shishi's hands.

For example, according to the "Epitaph of the Funeral of Mrs. Ming Hefeng": On February 5, the year Wuxu, Mrs. Shi died. Mrs. is the match of the general Lanxi Ma Gongfang...... According to the form, the lady's surname is Shi. When his father was promoted, his handsome mother Liu Shiyang and Wei Hua's stomach were also ...... Born to three children: Chang Dong, the governor of the Chinese army, married to Qi Qian, a general of the Qi family; Ci Chun, died early, married to the daughter of the Wang family's general soldier kingdom; Cilin, the deputy chief soldier of the Datong Left Guard, married the daughter of Sun Xiance, the capital of the Sun family.

Sun Nanjiu: Yue Ying, married Wen Dengkui's daughter; said Bing, married Hao's daughter; said Huan, married Ni Shangzhong, the chief soldier of the Ni family; It is said that it is wide, still young, and it is out; said Ye, married to Wang Junmin's daughter; said Yi, hired Jiao's deputy chief soldier Jiao Chengxun; said Jiong, hired Wan's counselor Wan Huafu girl; said Xuan, hired the ancestral daughter of Qi Guang, the deputy chief soldier of the Qi family; Said Huang, still young clubs out of the forest.

Granddaughter nine: Changshi General Soldier Ma Guizi Chengzong, Xu Jinyiwei commanded Zhou Xikou's eldest son, Yu Shangyoung, Ju Dong; The second suitable general soldier Ma Guizi Chengxuan, the second suitable deputy general soldier Xie Shengzi Jisheng, the second son of the second Xu general soldier Huang Mingchen, and Yu Shang Youju Lin out.

According to the inscription, Mrs. Shi is the wife of Ma Fang, a native of Yanghewei, Shanxi, who was born in the fourth year of Jiajing and died in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli at the age of seventy-four. The inscription calls the mother of the Shi family "Yang and Wei Huaxuan", which means that Huazhou was born in a noble family. Ma Fang was appointed to Yang and Wei in the early days, and at that time he performed bravely and had an obvious upward momentum, so it was reasonable to marry the daughter of the Wang family surnamed Weizhong. The inscription also mentions the marriage relationship of Ma Fang's third son, ninth grandson and ninth granddaughter.

Among them, Ma Dong married Qi Qian's daughter, according to Guangxu's "Ulzhou Chronicles", Qi Qian was a Ulzhou Weiren, and Zeng Zhong Jiajing Yimao Ke (1555) was a martial artist, and later served as a guerrilla general.

Ma Chun married Wang Guoxun (that is, not long ago because of old age, was highly pragmatically arranged to retire and replaced with Ma Chengen's former Xuanfu General Army) daughter, according to Qianlong's "Xuanhua Mansion Chronicles", Wang Guoxun Kaiping Weiren, Wanli eight years first Shanxi chief soldier, Wanli twelve years reappointed Xuanzhen chief military officer.

Ma Lin married Sun Xiance's daughter, according to Jiajing's "Xuanfu Town Chronicles", Sun Xiance Guangchang people, Jiajing 35 years as the commander of the guard.

The eldest grandson Ma Ying married Wen Dengkui's daughter, according to Wanli's "Suzhen Huayi Zhi", Wen Dengkui was a native of Guangling, Shanxi, originally a prisoner, and later served as a general judge in Suzhou.

Sun Ma Bing married Hao Jienu, a native of Hao Jie Ulzhou, a Jinshi in the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing (1556), successively served as the right attendant of the military department, the military affairs of Ji, Liao and Baoding, and served as the imperial history of the right capital, and the secretary of the Nanjing military department.

Sun Mahuan married Ni Shangzhong's daughter, according to Wanli's "Baoding Mansion Chronicles", Ni Shangzhong Xuanfu Longmen Guard, Wanli 19 years to the governor of the left mansion, and later served as the chief soldier of Baoding Mansion.

Sun Maye married Wang Junmin's daughter, but her identity is unknown.

Sun Ma Yi hired Jiao Chengxun's daughter, according to Shunzhi's "Yunzhong County Chronicles", Jiao Chengxun Datong guard, Wanli served as the general soldier of Datong, and his father Jiao Ze Jiajing served as the general soldier of Datong.

Sun Majiong hired Wanhua Fu girl, according to the Tongzhi "Hequ County Chronicles", Wanhua Fu was a native of Guanxian County, and served as a general of Datong Middle Road, Shanxi Hequ General, Shenmu General, and Dezhou Battalion General during the Wanli period, and was later promoted to Zunhua General Officer.

Sun Maxuan married Qi Guang's ancestral daughter, according to Qianlong's "Xuanhua Mansion Chronicles", Qi Guangzu was a native of Ulzhou and served as the deputy chief soldier of Laoyingbao.

The daughters of Ma Dong and Ma Lin were respectively married to Ma Gui's two sons, Ma Chengzong and Ma Chengxuan. Son-in-law Xie Jisheng was the son of the chief soldier Xie Sheng, who had accompanied Ma Gui to aid the Korean war against the Japanese, and then died in Liaodong.

The granddaughter married the second son of the general soldier Huang Mingchen, according to Qianlong's "Xuanhua Mansion Chronicles", Huang Mingchen, whose ancestral home was Peng Ze, occupied Xuanfu in the early Ming Dynasty, and was promoted from a thousand households to the chief military officer of Shanxi. Jinyiwei commanded Zhou Xi's eldest son (this person's identity is unknown, no information has been found).

In sum, the peculiarities of this affinity are distinct: first, scope, generally confined to the same Viceroyalty; The second is identity, mainly from the same family, and very few can also marry civil officials, but the number is small; Finally, there is the network, which refers to the formation of an intertwined "in-law network".

It can also be seen from this that after entering the troubled era at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the original history, some generals were able to respond to one call and represent the entire local generals with one family, and there is one reason here - the in-law relationship formed over the years.

It is normal for a certain family to appear weak in one of the generations, your family is like this, and my family is the same. But this situation is also likely to be reversed directly because there is a capable fighter in the next generation. As a result, the generals will probably take care of each other, so as not to treat each other seriously when their families fall in the future, and there will be no chance of recovery - I have to say, this is quite a bit of a fan of the entertainment industry in later generations.

In the same way, after Gao Pragmatic chose Xuanda General as his descendant in his early years, for a long time, only Liu Xian, Liu Wei and his son were exceptions, and there were no additions until the previous foreign appointment in Liaodong, which was regarded as a few more generals, why is this?

The reason why the descendants are descendants is because their treatment is different from ordinary people, as a superior person, Gao pragmatic needs to be able to ensure that he can afford to give them what they need, so that it is possible to really subdue them.

In the early years, the focus of Gao Gong and Gao Pragmatic's work in the Jiubian region was to implement the "West Huai East System", and it had just been promoted to the "West Huai" stage. At this stage, the most critical border town is the three towns of Xuanda, so the subjugation of the representatives of the three towns of Xuanda is the proper meaning of the question, whether it is the Ma family, the Ma family, including the Zhang family, the Dong family, etc., were all selected by the Gao family and nephews because of this strategy, and soon came under his command.

After the Battle of Monan, the center of gravity of the imperial court began to move eastward, and the "Eastern System" was gradually put on the agenda, and even Gao Shishi himself asked for an order to go to Liaodong.

At this time, of course, he had to start thinking about accepting a new batch of descendants, but at that time, Liaodong was dominated by the Tieling Li family. Gao Pragmatic was unable to control Li Chengliang according to his requirements for various reasons, so he had to find another way to rescue Cao Yan from prison, and at the same time selected a few from the subordinates in southern Liaoning, and reluctantly formed a new faction under his command - perhaps it can be called the Gao Party Liaodong Jiangmen, which is distinguished from the Gao Dang Xuanda General.

However, at this time, the high party Liaodong Jiangmen was obviously not strong enough in front of Li Chengliang - mainly because of his insufficient status - so Gao pragmatic chose to keep Ma Dong, Ma Chengen, Ma Chengxun and others in Liaodong and cooperate with Cao Yan to maintain the situation. After Qi Jin was transferred to Liaodong, Gao Pragmatic transferred Ma Chengen back to Xuanfu.

All of this, without a bit of foolishness, was a very prudent choice under the objective conditions at that time.

Gao pragmatic recovered Ningxia in less than a month, which is of course a great thing for the imperial court, you must know that at this time, the new governor of the three sides, Wei Xuezeng, has not even arrived, he came from Nanjing, at this time has just passed the Tong Pass, and even Xi'an has not yet arrived.

Moreover, the imperial court also received a dismissal from Gao Pragmatic a few days ago, and knew that Gao Pragmatic also had enough arrangements for Huo Luochi and the Rabbit Brothers. At this time, Zhuang Langwei not only had Liu Chengsi, the chief soldier of Gansu, personally in charge, but Li Rusong's reinforcements had also arrived, and in addition, Gao Pragmatic even sent them 50,000 Mongolian cavalry - the other party was at most this number. It is equivalent to the fact that all the departments of the Ming army are more than the part of the Huoluochi brothers.

Although the battle report over there has not yet been delivered, at least on paper, Zhuang Langwei has no reason to lose the battle at all.

The imminent arrival of the Northwest Dading was obviously good news, but what the imperial court did not expect at all was the move of the Mongol left-wing Chahar Department, and Tumen Khan neither went west to conquer Tumut, nor did he take the opportunity to "recover" Daning, but inexplicably launched an offensive against the Jurchens in Liaodong.

First of all, Yang Siwei, the general soldier of Jizhen who guarded Daning, sent a military report, saying that the Tumen had already raised troops from Chahanhot, and the whole army had taken away about 40,000 or 60,000 horsemen.

The imperial court basically recognized his judgment, and not only ordered to strengthen the defenses along the Great Wall, but even made the Praetorian Guards ready to fight at any time.

However, in less than three people, new news came, and the Tumen army did not kill any horses, but went straight to northern Liao, bypassing the northernmost section of the Great Wall of Liaodong, and breaking into the territory of Yehe.

This news came from Liaodong, from the governor Li Song, the general soldier Li Chengliang to the deputy chief soldier Cao Yan, and the Kaiyuan staff general Ma Chengxun, all wrote a note, and analyzed this move of the Tumen from their own standpoints, and at the same time said that they had strengthened their precautions and would not let the "bypass" plan of the old thieves of the Tumen succeed - the Liaodong side still thinks that the Tumen's move is aimed at the Ming Dynasty.

Well, perhaps in the eyes of both the political and military sides of Liaodong, since the goal of the Ming Dynasty is only Mongolia, of course, the goal of Mongolia should only be the Ming Dynasty, what kind of thing is the Jurchen, and it is also worthy of being mixed in? Two tigers fight, how can there be a dog thing!

However, Zhu Yijun has a different opinion from the cabinet, he thinks that the tiger of the Mongolian Chahar Department has lost a few weights, and his teeth are not very good. Even...... Occupy the territory of the Jurchens?

The reason why Zhu Yijun has this kind of idea that ministers will not think about is that when he was a child, he heard Gao Pragmatic mention that Liaodong is not only within the Great Wall is "familiar land", in fact, there are many good lands outside Liaodong. In particular, a place called "Songnen Plain" by Gao Pragmatic, and also called "the best land" by Gao Pragmatic, saying that the land there is extremely fertile, and if it can be developed and utilized, "it will be no less than Huguang".

There is no problem with Gao Pragmatism's words in themselves, and how the grain output of the three eastern provinces in later generations is obvious to all. However, Gao pragmatic said this with other intentions, deliberately guiding the original little emperor to have ideas about the northeast, and deliberately did not mention problems such as the northeast being too cold during the Xiaoice period. As for the cultivation of cold-tolerant rice suitable for cultivation in the cold regions of the northeast, he will not say anything about it.

Zhu Yijun didn't know this, so an idea suddenly popped up at this time: I heard that Buzhihatu was also learning Tumut, and persuaded the Tutu to use the Han people who had been captured in the early years to start reclamation. Could it be that he also took a fancy to this "Songnen Plain" and wanted to occupy it, and then farm the fields and store grain, and stubbornly resist my Daming?

Zhu Yijun's biggest ideal now is to defeat Mongolia, the life-and-death enemy of the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, completely destroy the remnant yuan, and achieve the great cause that Taizu and Chengzu have not achieved.

However, when he summoned the first assistant Shen Shixing in the Wenhua Hall to ask the right, Shen Shixing disagreed, thinking that "Liaodong is already bitterly cold, how to grow grain in Liaobei", and at the same time brought out the reason for the emptiness of the treasury, and strongly advised the emperor not to think so much now, and to solve the current problem first.

Moreover, Shen Shixing also faintly criticized the household department, believing that the household department "sticks to the rules" under the current situation and cannot come up with any mitigation measures, which is really disappointing.

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he was silent for a long time, but ended the call in disappointment.
