When he arrived at Mafu, it was Ma Shiying's son who received Yu Xiang, and Ma Luan, the commander of the Beijing camp, was not there. [Marshmallow]--

Listening to Ma Luan, after Emperor Hongguang knew that Huang Degong's troops were defeated and "wanted" to withdraw to Jiangnan, he was terrified and had already had the idea of moving the capital, and secretly ordered Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng to enter the palace to discuss.

"The rest of the Son of Heaven moved the capital?" Yu Xiang shouted in shock: "If the Son of Heaven leaves Nanjing, how can he stay in the capital, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers will be lost first." ”

Ma Luan is a straw bag, he used to have close contacts with Yu Xiang, the relationship between the two is very good, and he speaks casually, so he said: "Otherwise, my father will hope to fall on the Ningxiang army, but left and right, Sun Hou has no news, but Huang Degong was defeated first." He was defeated this time, but he was afraid that Yangzhou would not be able to hold it for two days. If you don't leave at this time, will it be difficult to be served in a pot? ”

Commander Ma was not the central decision-maker of the imperial court, and Yu Xiang told him that these were of no use. He only said: "Commander Ma, this capital is 'chaotic', the people all over the city 'want' to escape from the capital, people's hearts are shaken, and there are already mobs taking advantage of the 'chaos' to rob shops and rich households, and the situation is almost out of control." Regardless of whether the Son of Heaven moved the capital or not, at this extraordinary time, the Beijing camp should send troops and horses to suppress the rioters in the city and restore order. It is hoped that the commander will be able to make a difference and show determination. It is better to be able to close the nine 'gates' now, and not let one person go out of the city. In this way, the people's will can be stable, and the people's will must be certain, and it will be possible to keep the capital. Nanjing is here, and Daming is here. If Nanjing is lost, I will have no way to retreat. ”

Ma Luan looked indifferent: "What are you doing with all this effort, everyone wants to run for their lives, just let them go." Besides, many of the people who wanted to leave the city were officials of the imperial court, and some of them were even familiar with me

。 Everyone looks up and doesn't see it, looks down to see it, it's convenient for others, it's convenient for me, why should I risk the world's condemnation and offend so many people? ”

Yu Xiang was speechless for a while, as Ma Luan's wine 'meat' friend, he knew the 'nature' of this birdman best. There is only interests in mind, and there is no such thing as the overall situation. On weekdays, everyone is used to giggling, if you say the truth again at this time, Young Master Ma will not only not listen to it, but will laugh at himself for being false and serious, these gentlemen are all this kind of virtue.

It seems that if you want to talk about Ma Luan, you have to think of another idea.

Yu Xiang 'touched' his chin and suddenly had an idea. He laughed: "Commander Ma, you are stupid, God moved a mountain of gold to you, but you didn't know to reach out to pick it up, I feel sorry for you." ”

"Jin Shan, what do you say?" Ma Luan asked curiously.

Yu Xiang: "Commander Ma, I suggest that you close the nine 'gates' and not let anyone out of the city is indeed an offending thing. But in this way, there will definitely be people who are in a hurry to go out of the city to come down to your 'door', and maybe they will send a wealth of 'women'. When the time comes, it is not a matter of one sentence to command who to let out of the city and who not to let out of the city. Naturally, there are endless benefits, and he has won a lot of favors. How can you not figure it out when such a good thing happens? ”

"Silk ...... That's a good idea! "Ma Luan has a straw bag, but like his father Ma Shiying, he is a person who loves money very much. As soon as Ma Shiying became the second assistant of the cabinet, he took bribes and was unscrupulous. Therefore, there is a folk proverb: "The governor is like a dog, the staff walks all over the street, the prince only loves money, and the emperor eats wine." "The prime minister refers to Ma Ge Lao, which shows that Lao Ma's greed is famous.

Ma Shiying loves money, but he is a very capable person. Ma Luan didn't learn his skills, but he learned the 'fault' of greedy for money.

The Ma family is a big family, and all of Ma Luan's expenses are paid in the public. Ma Shiying's family was very strict, and he gave his sons twenty taels of silver every month.

After Ma Luan became a commander, he didn't have much money, and his 'flowers' were too big, so he was always shy in his pocket. Now listening to Yu Xiang's suggestion, I feel very moved: "The way is a good way, but the matter of dispatching martial law in Beijing is a big matter, and you have to nod your father." The Son of Heaven is about to move the capital, and my father is afraid that he will also leave Nanjing with the emperor. ”

Yu Xiang: "It is absolutely not feasible to move the capital, and when the time is right, Commander Ma can also persuade the elders." ”

"How can you persuade you?"

Yu Xiang: "I got a new piece of news, my Ningxiang Army and Naval Division will go up the river in a few days to support Guazhou and Dashengguan."

。 It is estimated that the sailor should also go to Nanjing. As long as the news is one, I will come over and inform the commander, and when the time comes, you can invite Ge Lao to the dock for review, as long as you see the military prestige of my Ningxiang Sailor, the Son of Heaven and Ge Lao will be at ease. ”

Ma Luan: "I could have asked my father to go to the dock, but ......" He couldn't help but shake his head: "Nanjing is directly under the threat of Jiannu, in fact, ...... It's good to move the capital to avoid it, even I want to leave. Even if I say that my father will send the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp to impose martial law, how much silver can I get, it doesn't matter. ”

It seems that he still has no faith.

Yu Xiang lowered his voice and said with an affectionate smile: "Brother, don't you know who my Yu Xiang is, when did you fix you?" How many officials are there in the six departments of Nanjing, and after the great change in Jiashen, how many rich families in the north fled into Liudu, there are not 10,000, but there are always 6 or 7,000 people. They have long been frightened by Jiannu, and they are in a hurry to get out of the city, and the price is not up to you. Even if one person pays fifty taels of silver, how can this collect millions from him, right? ”

"A million taels of silver?" Ma Luan took a 'pump' of cold air, and his eyes lit up: "How can one person make fifty taels, you have to pay according to the grade." For example, how can officials and their families get one hundred taels for the seventh grade, one hundred and five hundred for the sixth grade, and two hundred for the fifth grade, so as to show their identity. Isn't it an insult to them to collect less/"

Yu Xiang couldn't help laughing: "Commander Ma's words are very reasonable, and you can't accept it." ”

Ma Luan: "Okay, let's just say it, I should persuade my father to impose martial law in the capital." Brother Yu, you go back first, if there is any news from the water master, come and say. ”

"So thank you to Commander Ma." Yu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, got up and took a deep soak, and left.

After coming out of Mafu, Yu Xiang was still not at ease, and went to Qian Qianyi's Mansion again, and Lao Qian happened to be at home.

Hearing that the Son of Heaven had recruited Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng to discuss the relocation of the capital, the boss of the Qian Pavilion was angry and shouted, "The national disaster is at hand, how can the monarch's father escape, and the old man should try his best to stop Yunyun.

Lao Qian was angry not because the emperor wanted to leave Nanjing and run away, but because he was also the core figure of the imperial court decision-making level, how could the emperor and Ma Shiying exclude themselves from such a big event?

It is tolerable, which is unbearable, it must be opposed, and it must add blockage to Ma Yaocao and Ruan Yuanhai's hearts.
