One hundred and eighty-ninth chapter self-respect for raising pirates

Zhang Erpei was very happy to hear Ma Cheng say this. He is the third rank! You should know that according to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, even a high-ranking official is considered a high-ranking official, and from the third rank, he is a provincial and ministerial-level official, and is generally a minister of the sixth central government, a local governor, a censor and other senior officials. Now Ma Cheng said that there is a third rank official position, and Zhang Erpei was very excited.

"Second brother, no! Master of the military! You are better to be good to the lower officials! The lower officials have entrusted countless people in the past few months. My father-in-law and mother-in-law don't like my second brother-in-law. You are the better, your second brother-in-law is so sad!" Zhang Erpei said in a state of emotion, crying loudly, which made Ma Cheng feel a little disgusted.

After crying for a while, Zhang Erpei felt really embarrassing, so he stopped crying, wiped away his tears and asked in anticipation: "Second brother, what official position is there?"

At this time, Zhang Erpei had already made plans. After taking office, he must have done his first thing to take up a few concubines, then collect more money, and then work hard to be a good official for the country and the people, etc.

Ma Cheng didn't know what Zhang Erpei was thinking, and heard Zhang Erpei ask and laughed: "That's right, the chief of the Military Information Department among the governors is missing. This is a third-rank general and needs a talent like his second brother-in-law to take charge!"

Zhang Erpei was originally full of joy. When he heard that he wanted to change from civil and military service to become a military officer, he immediately turned to Duoyun and said, "Turn into a military officer? No matter how hard I say, I am a scholar or a supervisor, so I can become a Qiu Ba! I will never do it!"

In order to prevent the separatist rule of the country in the Ming Dynasty, the system of military system was implemented by civilized military system. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the selection of military generals also had an imperial examination path represented by military examinations. The military examination did not only take the martial arts exam, but the real decision to be on the list was the strategy discussion link, that is, to pass the exam, you must also be familiar with military strategies and strategies. The evaluation power was mainly carried out by civil officials of the Ministry of War. In this way, the selection power of military generals who came from the military examination was actually gradually in the hands of civil officials. Many military generals who could get fame and fortune became disciples of civil officials.

This system reached its peak until the end of the Ming Dynasty. Some generals and generals even knelt down to bow and salute when they saw civil servants of the fifth and sixth ranks, which made the generals have no status in society. Although Zhang Erpei became a supervisor through Ma Shiying's approach, Zhang Erpei's scholarly fame was actually achieved by himself. Now he has given up his fame and fortune to be a Qiu Ba, which is really a bit beyond Zhang Erpei's bottom line.

When Ma Cheng saw that Zhang Erpei refused to be a military general, he cursed: "What? You still don't do it? You've rebelled against you, someone is here!"

After Ma Cheng said that, Gu Yong rushed into the room with five or six personal soldiers outside the door, clasped his fists and shouted: "The last general is here!"

Ma Cheng pointed to Zhang Erpei and said, "This guy intends to assassinate my governor. Now I suspect that he is a spy from the Northern Lu, so I take this guy out for strict interrogation!"

Zhang Erpei didn't expect that Ma Cheng turned against him and cursed: "Ma Cheng, you are so ruthless! You arrested me and went to prison. Are you not afraid that your sister will be sad?"

Ma Cheng said contemptuously: "You Zhang Erpei's virtue can still make my second sister sad? Zhang Erpei, don't worry, tomorrow I will let my second sister be loyal to you. At that time, I will find a rich second generation for my second sister. It will definitely be better than you, a son-in-law who is in the back! And the tortoise son you gave birth to, I will sell him to a prostitute village as a little rabbit!"

Zhang Erpei and Ma Ermei only have one son. They just turned five years old this year, and they are the flesh of Zhang Erpei. Now they hear Ma Cheng want to take his son.

The son sold it, and was so scared that he hurried forward and hugged Ma Cheng's thigh and cried: "Second brother, brother-in-law is wrong. My Zhang family's three generations are single-handed, and it's just a single seed. In this way, how can I have the attitude to meet my parents underground after I die!"

Seeing Zhang Erpei surrender, Ma Cheng waved his hand and asked Gu Yong and the others to go out, then helped Zhang Erpei sit down again and said, "Second brother-in-law, what are you against before I heard from me? I am not asking you to go to the battlefield to lead troops to fight, but to be responsible for the Military Information Department!"

Zhang Erpei heard that he was not asking him to lead his troops to fight, but he really didn't know what the Military Information Department was doing.

"Second brother, what does this Military Information Department do?"

"Responsible for spying on military information, assassinating enemy generals behind enemy lines, punishing traitors, etc." Ma Cheng looked outside the door and whispered: "It's the Jinyiwei!"

He said that Zhang Erpei didn't know the other words, but the three words "Embroidered Uniform Guard" were like thunder. Zhang Erpei was so scared that he fell down when he heard Ma Cheng say this, and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, are you crazy? The Embroidered Uniform Guard can also be formed by himself? Let outsiders know that it is a serious crime of beheading!"

Ma Cheng saw Zhang Erpei, who was afraid of death, smiled and said, "What? My second brother-in-law is scared? But it's too late now! As long as someone stabs this, our whole family will die! You are my father's son-in-law and the head of the Military Intelligence Department. You must have killed the nine clans. Unfortunately, my eldest nephew is about to return to that world just as he turned five!"

Zhang Erpei cared about the most was his son. Now he heard Ma Cheng say that if the news leaked, his whole family would definitely not be able to escape. So after sitting there thinking about it, he finally made up his mind to ask: "Second brother, is this Military Information Department my father meant?"

Zhang Erpei thought very clearly that if this Military Intelligence Department was an intelligence agency like the Jinyiwei, it means that Ma Shiying already had an unjust intention. He himself was Ma Shiying's son-in-law. If the matter was exposed, he would not be able to escape no matter what. So Zhang Erpei had to ask if Ma Shiying meant it.

Ma Cheng is more skilled than monkeys. After Zhang Erpei’s question, he will know what he was thinking. Ma Cheng said: “Of course, this is of course what my father means! As long as my father’s great affairs are accomplished, the second brother-in-law can be a duke for the first time. If the second brother-in-law makes many contributions, it is not impossible for the prince and prince! At that time, your Zhang family and the Ma family share the same breath and destiny, and that will be the king and marquis for generations!”

Zhang Erpei was moved when he heard Ma Cheng say this. This incident was too tempting. Zhang Erpei considered the gains and losses in his heart, and his face turned red and white. After a long time, Zhang Erpei sighed and said, "Second brother, you are right. I promise you to be the head of the Military Information Department!"

Ma Cheng laughed in his heart when he heard Zhang Erpei say this. He had known that Zhang Erpei would agree in the end. There was no way. If the matter was revealed, Zhang Erpei would not be able to live a good life. Even if he went out, he would not be able to escape the fate of being implicated.

"Second brother, tell me, what should I do when I go to the Military Information Department?"

"My second brother-in-law, the Military Intelligence Department was originally formed by Lu Siye. It has his confidant and the confidant of the governor. The first thing you do when you go is to eradicate Lu Siye's confidant and give them some charges to secretly kill them. You scholars are the best, so you don't need to supervise you!"

Ma Cheng saw Zhang Erpei nodded and agreed, and then said, "After all the military intelligence departments are accepted, you will reorganize the military intelligence departments according to the structure of the Jinyiwei, and you will have to dispatch institutions in each province, as well as hundreds of officials in the court.

If you have a secret spies installed at home, these second brother-in-law can buy the officials of the original Jinyiwei if you don’t understand!"

Since Zhu Yousong became emperor in Nanjing last year, he laid off the Dongchang Factory and the scale of the Jinyiwei has also been streamlined. Now the Jinyiwei is no longer as good as before. In the past, many officials and sergeants of the Jinyiwei have become unemployed vagrants. These guys have been in the Jinyiwei for several generations. Many people do not have the skills to maintain their lives except torture, so now these guys are in the Jinyiwei. Ma Cheng estimated that as long as these guys give them some benefits, they will immediately become the capable personnel of their military intelligence department.

Zhang Erpei nodded and said that he had written it down. Ma Cheng looked outside the door and continued: "There is one last thing after all these things, and the most important thing, that is, to support the royal families in various places to proclaim themselves emperors!"

Zhang Erpei was shocked when he heard Ma Cheng say this and asked stutterly: "Support the royal family to be emperor? This... isn't this causing us trouble?"

Ma Cheng glared at Zhang Erpei and cursed: "What do you know? Just do as the governor's instructions. Don't ask anything else!"

Ma Cheng had no choice but to do this. Today, after Xu Zhenye's analysis, Ma Cheng already knew that his father and son had become stumbling blocks for the new emperor Zhu Lunkui. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that none of the supportive ministers and the entrusted officials in history have a good end. Now Zhu Lunkui is not in trouble, but Ma Cheng is just needed to resist the attack of the Qing Dynasty.

But what happened to the Qing Dynasty? So Ma Cheng had to fight for time to control the new army as soon as possible, so that he could have capital. However, it took time to master the new army. In order to win time, Ma Cheng had to establish an enemy for himself.

Zhu Lunkui is the emperor. What the emperor is most afraid of is the loss of the throne. The biggest threat to the throne comes from their own people in the Zhu family. As long as there are still people in the world who are constantly slaughtering the country and becoming emperor, Zhu Lunkui will use Ma Cheng's sword to eliminate dissident forces. At that time, Ma Cheng will gradually grow bigger and have time to master the new army.

Ma Cheng remembers that there were many emperors in Nanming in history, and the most famous one was the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang. Now that the world is in chaos, why not make the world even more chaotic?

"My second brother-in-law, the Lu King in Hangzhou is now under the throne. Since this is the case, why not let the royal families in all parts of the country live in the emperor's addiction? What about the King of Lu in Ningbo, the King of Chu in Huguang, the King of Gui in Guangxi, etc., you can perform on stage! In this way, our family can get Li in the hot spots?"

Although Zhang Erpei was just a scholar, he still understood the allusions in history. He heard Ma Cheng say this and asked in a low voice: "But the enemy is respectful?"

Seeing Zhang Erpei understand, Ma Cheng patted his shoulder and smiled, "It turns out that he is a scholar. He is more clever than me! Okay, let's see my second brother-in-law. There is also this matter to be kept secret. No one in the family should disclose it, and even the eldest brother and the others don't want to say it, do you know?"

Zhang Erpei didn't let Ma Luan know, and he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Do you want to hide it from your elder brother?"

"At this time, of course, you know the temperament of a Taoist master who is the most despised by this conspiracy. In order to prevent it, the elder brother would also hide it!"
