The cool breeze in the city, the heat of the day was gone, the two were silent for a long time, Chang Yu glanced at Wang Jiayan, who was still full of iron: "Lord Wang, go and drink two glasses" Wang Jiayan was hesitating Chang Yu said again: "You don't need to go to the yamen, how about finding a tavern casually?" ”

Wang Jiayan nodded, and the two walked towards the city, but saw a Dongchang fan rushing over: "Report to the factory official, Changping General Soldier Ma Ke entered the city to ask for a meeting, and waited in the yamen."

came so slowly, Chang Yu sighed, and said to Wang Jiayan: "It seems that it is better to go to the yamen to drink, how about we call a few more escorts?" ”

Wang Jiayan frowned slightly: "Don't be in a hurry to drink for a while, the factory governor has official business, let's just change the day" Chang Yu nodded slightly, he originally wanted to take advantage of this time to let Wang Jiayan get acquainted with his subordinates and other generals, and there was a tacit understanding to fight side by side when he turned back, but it was obvious that Wang Jiayan's sense of civil superiority made him unable to pull his face for a while and call him a brother and brother with those rough people, let alone go to the yamen of Dongchang.

A middle-aged man sat upright in the lobby of the Yamen of the Dongchang outside the imperial city, and the fragrant tea on the table next to him was hot, but the man was a little uneasy and looked outside the hall.

This person is the Changping General Soldier Ma Ke, who received news in the afternoon that he should enter Beijing for deliberations. This was the most common thing on the eve of the Great War, but it was seriously complicated by Ma Ke, because it was someone from Dongchang who came to report it, and this ghost-hated yamen made him tremble.

Why is it not the emperor's order or the military order of the military department, how is it the people of Dongchang, Ma Keshang does not know that Chang Yu was ordered to supervise the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi, and secretly wondered if he had committed something, whether it was because he was ineffective in sniping the enemy the day before yesterday, or the day before yesterday the Tartars besieged the capital and did not go to the rescue, but can I blame me for this matter, how did he do tens of thousands of Tartars with more than 5,000 soldiers and horses before, and he didn't receive any news at all when the Tartars besieged the capital.

Sometimes I feel that if I really commit a crime, Dongchang has already begun to take people now, and I won't just come to two or three people to give orders, but who knows that they don't want to trick themselves out of the city and arrest them......

When suffering from gains and losses, Ma Ke sat on a needle cushion, and finally gritted his teeth and went out of the city after nearly an hour of ink, he lived too depressed in the past few years, and he did what he should do, and he was not cut down when he fled without a fight outside the gate, but he was guilty of meritorious service, and now he has not made any big mistakes, but he does not believe that he can be imprisoned.

Having said that, Ma Ke, who entered the city, still went to contact his acquaintances in the court first to inquire about some news, only to learn that at this time, the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi were all under the supervision of Dongchang, and the real power was the little eunuch who had heard of it, and he should have been summoned to Beijing at this time just to discuss military affairs.

Ma Ke made up his mind a little at this time, and went to the Yamen of the East Factory to ask for a meeting, and was led to the lobby by Fanzi to make tea and let him wait for a while, and he never saw a figure again.

But this Dongchang Yamen is really not a good place, the yin atmosphere is extremely depressing, and from time to time there are faint screams that are particularly terrifying, even if Ma Ke, a person who has been used to seeing big scenes on the battlefield for a long time, still has a chill in his heart, and the rumors outside his heart that this is a hell on earth are not all true, which is somewhat reasonable.

The inner drama is like a serial drama, episode after episode, there is movement outside, a eunuch walked in, and Ma Ke hurriedly got up: "This father-in-law dares to ask when the factory governor will be able to return?" ”

The eunuch glanced at him and said, "I've come back."

"Then please let my father-in-law report it, and say that Marco wants to see him." Ma Ke hurriedly said, a little nervous in his heart, he had heard the prestige of the eunuch for a long time, and he heard that he was brave and good at fighting, and he was tired of killing thieves and Tartars and was named the god of war.

"You've seen it" The eunuch laughed, Ma Ke raised his eyebrows and was stunned, and then he woke up and suddenly his face was full of horror, this eunuch was sturdy, but he was so young, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Humble Ma Ke, I have seen the factory superintendent."

"Mr. Ma, I have admired the name for a long time" Chang Yu smiled slightly, walked to the table and sat down, raised his hand to signal Ma Ke to sit down, and looked at him, about forty years old, burly and strong, his eyes flickered, and his heart was extremely uneasy.

The two sat down and looked at each other and greeted each other, Chang Yu praised Ma Ke's past majesty, and his great achievements of the year were at his fingertips, Ma Ke was a little surprised, and it was not difficult for Dongchang to investigate his own history, but why this young factory supervisor was so kind and completely different from the eunuch of Dongchang in his impression, is it a smiling tiger.

In my heart, I chatted with the little eunuch casually and asked about the recent battles in the capital, Chang Yu also answered all questions without reservation, and told him about the withdrawal of troops from the siege of the Tartar city and the news that he had just received the destruction of the city of Tongzhou, and even the plan was fully revealed.

"Lord Governor, are you going to encircle and chase and intercept it, the Tartar cavalry is good at field warfare...... It's going to be hard enough." Ma Ke's face was very worried, and Chang Yu smiled faintly and said: "If it weren't for the arduous situation, how could I invite General Soldier Ma, General Soldier Ma has been fighting with the Tartars outside the gate for several years, and at this time, we should make suggestions for our family and work together to beat the Tartars back."

"Don't ridicule the factory governor, don't ridicule the humble position, the years of the war are shameless to mention, the general of the defeated army is not brave enough to give advice to the factory governor" Ma Ke's face was very embarrassed, after more than two years before and after the Songjin War, the Ming army was passive everywhere and finally suffered heavy casualties, Ma Ke also fled without a fight at the most intense time, almost beheaded, after various pleas let him write a guarantee to wear the guilt and meritorious service, at this time Chang Yu mentioned the past, he was embarrassed.

Chang Yu Zhengse said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as you don't die, there will be a time to rise again, whether we are internal officials or military generals, we are all for the court, for the Ming Dynasty, for the emperor, the head of the national disaster is responsible, not to mention that this is a soldier who defends the country, Ma Zongbing should not be knocked down by a defeat, stand up, we will join hands to kill the enemy and protect the Ming River and Mountain."

Ma Ke's eyes lit up, and then dimmed, the little eunuch in front of him seemed to be quite good at boosting morale, but he had already been disheartened and lost his past ambition and pride, but it was not caused by a defeat, as the little eunuch said that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, he was not the first defeat, in fact, he lost confidence in Daming, even if he was arrogant and brave, what could he change, the natural and man-made disasters of Daming at this time was already lingering, not to mention him, in fact, there are a few people who have confidence in Daming from the government and the opposition, Aren't they all waiting for him to fall and change to a new master, although there has been a little eunuch who can fight by the emperor's side recently, and he has indeed won a few battles and solved some crises, but who can guarantee that it will not be a return to the light.

At the end of the day, it's not that Marco has lost confidence in himself, it's the country!

In fact, how could Chang Yu not know this kind of mentality, except for a few people in the court, they are all mixing and waiting for a new master, and the soldiers outside are supporting the soldiers one by one, watching the fire and waiting for the price to sell, this is the most cruel reality of the current Ming Dynasty.

But what can he do, Chang Yu can't stab them to death one by one with a knife, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it will take time to thaw, at the moment he can only target it, pick up those who are not terminally ill and useful to fool for his own use.

Obviously, Ma Ke is still useful, after all, he was a fierce general back then, after all, he has rich experience in fighting with the Qing army and is an excellent helper, as for his current lifeless virtue, Chang Yu also knows that his words alone are not enough to refresh him, he has to let him see some practical achievements, and I believe that at that time he can ignite the fire in his heart that has not been completely extinguished.

The two were chatting, and there was a faint and noisy sound outside, Chang Yu smiled slightly, came, got up and walked out of the door, although Ma Ke didn't know who was coming, he quickly followed out.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
