Wei Xuezeng narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "If it's just the Eight Tigers, then it's good, the Eight Tigers are the Eight Cats without the emperor, and it is easy to kill them and listen to them, but the old things of the previous dynasty are not far away, if you really want to go against the grain, it will definitely cause a strong backlash from the ministers. ”

The middle-aged literati was dumbfounded, and after a while, he pointed to the letter in Wei Xuezeng's hand uncertainly: "Is it so?" ”

"At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, Taizu customized Wuzun Wenhu, but it was only a long time of peace, coupled with the drastic changes in the civil fort, so there is today, if you really want to support who to fight for power...... When the war drags on, the country is in urgent need of generals, if there is no one available, if there is ......"

Wei Xuezeng's words were not finished, but what should be said was said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

So Wei Xuezeng sat down and wrote down the military order.

"The governor wants to transfer the deputy generals Ma Gui and Du Si Xiao Ruhui to lead an army of 3,000 to rush to the aid of Pingyu City, try to ensure that Pingyu City is not lost, and threaten the rebels from the flank."

The middle-aged scribe understood: "The system is wise." ”

Wei Xuezeng smiled, and then spoke: "This governor still has to write a recital, play Your Majesty, Hexi is full of ink, and only Pingyu City will not surrender." ”

The middle-aged scribe shook his head helplessly, and bowed again: "The platform is still wise." ”

Wei Xuezeng smiled and didn't say anything more.

After a while, the soldiers had their own herald to call Ma Gui and Xiao Ruhui, who had just led the army to the Huamachi camp, to the commander's camp, and the two of them entered the boss, knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists and saluted: "The last general will see the platform!" ”

"Well, get up, two generals, the governor has something important to hand over to you two."

Ma Gui and Xiao Ruhui looked at each other, and then Ma Gui hugged his fists and asked, "Dare to ask what the system commands?" ”

"The rebel thief disregards the grace of heaven and rebels, and the crime is extremely evil, but there are still some people, who are even more hateful than the worship, holding the strong city and not resisting, but bending their knees to obey the thief, without any integrity at all, so that the forty-seven forts in the west of my river are exhausted, resulting in today's predicament! Ben Du really hates these fatherless people! I thought that Hexi was full of these people, but I didn't expect that there was another person, who rose up in adversity, stuck to the city and did not surrender, and pinned down the enemy for our army. ”

Wei Xuezeng set his eyes on Xiao Ruhui: "Xiao Dusi, let his younger brother Xiao Ruxun stick to Pingyu City and not surrender, and now he is fighting with the rebels, Ben Du really didn't expect that there are such loyal generals in Hexi." ”

Xiao Ruhui blinked, revealing ecstasy: "The meaning of making the platform is that the fourth brother of the last general is still holding on to Pingyu City?" ”

Wei Xuezeng smiled and nodded: "Just now the governor received a letter of help from General Xiao, so he summoned the two of you, and ordered the two of you to lead 3,000 troops to aid Pingyu City, and it is necessary to ensure that Pingyu City is not lost, and then if Pingyu City is protected, you still have the strength to spare, you can combine the two armies and try to attack Ningxia Town, attack Ningxia Town from the east, and attack the rebel flank, of course, the first task is to protect Pingcheng without losing it!" ”

Xiao Ruhui was overjoyed, and immediately clenched her fists: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Ma Gui's face was calm, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

As soon as she came out of the camp, Xiao Ruhui couldn't hold back her surprise, and clenched her fists fiercely, and Ma Gui watched with a little envy from the sidelines.

Datong Ma is not the Han nationality, but it is also one of the Jiangmen clans who followed the Ming court earlier to contribute to the Ming court, under the general trend of the decline of the nine-sided generals, there are only two Jiangmen against the current, one is Liaodong Li, the other is Datong Ma, the people of the time called Dongli Xima, and some interesting thing is that these two are not Han people, the ancestors of the Ma family are the Ming Hui people, and the Li family is the Ming Korean family.

Datong Ma clan has been out of the fierce generals, from the ancestors of Ma Gui began to guard the border of the Ming Dynasty for generations, Ma Gui in Wanli ten years to accumulate merit to the deputy general army, and then once promoted to the Ningxia chief military officer, the official to the second grade, but later accidentally offended the imperial court sent to inspect the nine sides of the reading Shaoqing Zeng Qianheng, so he was impeached, demoted, idle until the year ago, was urgently activated.

Ma Gui is not corrupt and bribery, nor does he do anything that angers and resents people, and he was impeached, but because he was angered by Zeng Qianheng's attitude of despising martial artists, he defended and protested a few words, offended Zeng Qianheng, Zeng Qianheng participated in Ma Gui's book after returning to the dynasty, and as a result, Ma Gui was demoted and idle.

Up to now, the martial artists of the Ming Dynasty are not unwilling to rise up and fight against the literati, it is really the lifeblood of the warriors - the promotion path and the supply supplement are all pinched in the hands of the literati, the military selection department and the household department are held in the hands of the literati, they let you go up, they let you go down, sometimes even the emperor can't intervene, such as Zhang Juzheng, the power leans to the sixth, the emperor does not dare to take a breath of reprimand, as strong as Qi Jiguang Li Chengliang has to tremble in the shadow of Zhang Juzheng.

To put it bluntly, the emperor has no confidence in the face of the literati group, and the martial arts family with a little knowledge will be obsessed with the matter of the civil fort, and the change of the civil fort has completely destroyed the Jingnan Wuxun aristocratic group that was enough to compete with the civil official group, which made the civil official Yu Qian take the opportunity to encroach on the military attache's authority, and took advantage of the national disaster to create the strongest civil official group in history, forcing the later emperor to indulge the eunuchs to confront it.

Earlier, the military attache under the command of Taizu could compete with the civil officials, but he was killed by Taizu, and the battle of Chengzu Jingjing created a new military attache and noble group, which can still compete with the civilian officials, and as a result, the change of the civil fort wiped out the military attache and noble group, and Emperor Jing was supported by the civil official group, and Yingzong's restoration could not be achieved without the support of the surviving military attaches who cooperated with the civilian officials.

Later emperors were even more helpless, Wuzong was even more desperate, in order to vent his dissatisfaction and indulge the Eight Tigers, not only disgusted the civil officials, but also disgusted the world, Jiajing Tianzi cleaned up the eunuchs, and used the superb power of the civil officials to govern the civil officials The arrogance of the civil officials was beaten down for decades, Longqing Tianzi ascended the throne, without his father's means, and indulged the civil officials, directly creating Zhang Juzheng, the giant beast, Wanli Tianzi lived in the shadow of Zhang Juzheng ten years before he ascended the throne, and the entire military general group trembled at the feet of Zhang Juzheng.

Aggrieved...... I thought that Zhang Juzheng's life would be better without everyone, but a patrol of the imperial history can rule the second-grade military generals to death, counting on the emperor? The emperor can't raise his head to the civil officials every day in the court, everyone is a brother and a brother, if you really want to talk about it, who can take care of whom?

In this context, getting better treatment for civil officials is the only way for military attaches who want to live a better life, who let the money bags and personnel power are in the hands of others, and they can't be hard if they want to, so they just soften! Military generals who have no ability to befriend civil officials for the sake of treatment, and some military attachés who have no ability to befriend civil officials for their own ambitions, all in all, if the military generals want to live well, the DPRK and China must have a backer.

Who is the backer?

So Ma Gui is a little envious, Xiao Ruxun is good at guarding, good at guarding, and he pleases the governor of the three sides, Wei Xuezeng, this is a bull who dares to wrestle with Zhang Juzheng, if he can support the reinforcements and support, he will definitely be appreciated by Wei Xuezeng, and when the time comes, he will recommend it to the court, and the proper chief military officer will be in hand, and he will easily walk to the peak of life.

Unlike him, who has made so many contributions to the position of the chief soldier, a small imperial history has been taken down - of course, civil officials protect each other, do you dare to be disrespectful to Wenqu Xing?

It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree...... Xiao Ruxun's name Ma Gui knows, it should be said that there are few people in the entire Nine Border General Gate who don't know, a military general married the daughter of the military department Shangshu, and this routine can be regarded as the daughter of a poor boy in the countryside who married the chairman of a multinational group in modern times.

"General Xiao is General Xiao's fourth brother? It's so raw! It was not easy to hold a lonely city in a place full of rebels. ”

Ma Gui took the initiative to talk to Xiao Ruhui, Xiao Ruhui also has some skills, and leading troops is also considered conscientious, and the four sons of the Xiao family have their own military positions, which is still rare in the Nine Side Generals.

Xiao Ruhui turned her head to look at Ma Gui, and immediately nodded and smiled: "General Ma is too famous!" That kid just did his duty, as a garrison, he had to guard the place, which was not a big deal, but this kid liked poetry books the most on weekdays, and he also liked to write poems, but he didn't go to see the military strategy much, and I thought that this kid wanted to take the exam, but I didn't expect that he still didn't forget his duty. ”

As she spoke, Xiao Ruhui's face changed.

"It's just that I don't know what the situation is now, the rebels are numerous, he only has 3,000 soldiers under him, and it is also difficult to defend the lonely city, General Ma, let's hurry up and rush to help!"

Ma Gui nodded, anyone can do this favor: "Okay!" Immediately order your troops and go to battle as soon as possible! ”
