As soon as Ma Cheng finished speaking, he heard a bang. It turned out that the maid holding a copper basin in the house was so scared that she threw the copper basin to the ground when she heard what Ma Cheng said.

Kou Baimen couldn't believe that Ma Cheng broke 400,000 with 15,000 yuan, and asked with his beautiful big eyes: "Master, what did you say? All the Northern Barbarians were defeated by the Master?"

Seeing Kou Baimen's red mouth right in front of him, Ma Cheng was so excited that he stepped forward and kissed Kou Baimen's mouth, then said shamelessly: "Of course, do you think your husband is a waste? 15,000 or more than 400,000, which is better than Yue Fei back then!"

Although Ma Cheng was a little bragging, in addition to Ma Cheng's proper command of this victory, the main reason for the Qing army's communication was not effective, and Ma Cheng took advantage of the loopholes. However, it was not easy for Ma Cheng to win this battle.

Kou Baimen is 24 years old this year. Since she remembered, she has heard the saying "The Eight Banners are less than ten thousand, and they are invincible." Now, I heard the man in front of me say that he defeated the 400,000 Eight Banners Army with more than ten thousand people. I can't believe that this is true.

Seeing the stunned Kou Baimen, Ma Cheng smiled and said, "What? Don't believe it yet? You are my woman, why are you lying to you?"

Ma Cheng was so sleepy that he stood up and pulled Kou Baimen into the inner room, and then went to bed to rest. Of course, this was not Ma Cheng's spirit and insects on his brain, but Ma Cheng's tense nerves finally relaxed after more than a year of intense battles. He needed a woman to comfort himself.

Ma Cheng hugged Kou Baimen and lay on the bed, and a heavy snoring sound came soon.

Seeing Ma Cheng in his arms, Kou Baimen sighed softly. Originally, Kou Baimen had no good impression of Ma Cheng, and he was insidious and cunning and doing all kinds of evil. He could be said to be a complete villain.

But today I heard that this villain in my arms actually achieved so many achievements that the imperial army had not achieved with just 15,000 people. Kou Baimen's cold heart was a little relaxed.

There were many prostitutes and girls on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but why were only the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai passed down to later generations? This is because, except for women, these eight women, their patriotic feelings are no less than those of the cabinet ministers.

Although Kou Baimen was born into a prostitute for generations, he had a patriotic heart. Back then, Kou Baimen married Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, hoping that Zhu Guobi could lead his soldiers to fight in the north to restore the Ming Dynasty.

But what disappointed Kou Baimen was that Zhu Guobi completely lost the courage of his ancestors and was useless except eating, drinking, gamble. Originally, Kou Baimen thought that he would be like this in his life, and he didn't even get halfway through, and he snatched Kou Baimen.

At that time, Ma Cheng was no better than Zhu Guobi in Kou Baimen's heart. He followed Ma Cheng just to avoid Ma Cheng persecuting his friends Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi. But he didn't expect that Ma Cheng was so powerful that he could command the army to defeat the arrogant Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty at a young age.

Thinking that Ma Cheng was flirting with him just now, Kou Baimen was a little embarrassed. Looking at Ma Cheng who was sleeping, Kou Baimen gently kissed Ma Cheng's face.

This mouth was just seen by Qiuxiang, the maid from Koubaimen. Qiuxiang chuckled in a low voice: "Miss, you always said you wanted to marry a big hero. Is this big hero right in front of you?"

Kou Baimen, who was told about the central matter, had a slightly red face. Qing spat and said, "You damn girl, be careful that I will tear your mouth apart!"

I don’t know the fight between my concubine and my maid, Ma Cheng was having a nightmare at this time. In the two years since Ma Cheng traveled to now, the name of the Qing Dynasty has been pressing on Ma Cheng’s heart like a mountain. This is also one of the main reasons why Ma Cheng has become more and more crazy in the past two years. The psychological pressure is too great.

At this time, Ma Cheng was still fighting the Qing Dynasty at the top of the city in his dream. When he was slashing the Qing Dynasty with one knife, he suddenly showed that there was no one around him. Gu Yong and his personal soldiers were originally guarding him, but Ma Cheng turned around and found that Gu Yong and others were all killed by the Qing army, and he was surrounded by a large number of Qing corps.

A Qing army soldier walked towards Ma Cheng with a knife. Ma Cheng tried hard to slash his sword, but he found that the Qing army around his hands firmly held it and could not move. Just when the Qing army raised his sword to cut Ma Cheng, Ma Cheng had woken up and realized that he had had a nightmare.

Ma Cheng sat up from the bed with sweat on his head and realized that he was lying on the bed, and the sun shone through the window paper. It seemed that he had been sleeping all day.

Kou Baimen from the outer room heard the noise from the inner room, so he quickly lifted the curtain and walked in. When he saw Ma Cheng awake, he asked quickly, "Mr. Are you awake? Do you want to drink water?"

Ma Cheng nodded, Kou Baimen came to the table and poured a cup of tea for Ma Cheng. Ma Cheng took a mouthful and went in, and then asked, "How long have I slept?"

"My master has been sleeping for two days. Today is February 20th! Now is Si Shi!"

Unexpectedly, I slept for two days and seemed so tired.

Ma Cheng asked again: "How is it outside the city? Is someone coming to see me?"

"There is no news outside the city. Gu Yong came here a few times and said that everything was going well outside the city! However, people from the palace had seen it and asked the master to wake up and go to the palace. The emperor would like to invite him!"

The emperor was looking for him? Perhaps asking about the battle outside the city, Ma Cheng nodded and called Kou Baimen to dress him.

At this time, Kou Baimen had changed his opinion of Ma Cheng. While dressing Ma Cheng lightly, he asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want lunch?"

After Kou Baimen reminded Ma Cheng, he realized that he had been sleeping for two days and his stomach was already empty. He quickly said, "Okay, just eat here. Master, I am so hungry that I can eat a pig!"

With Ma Cheng's awakening, the entire Guiyang Hou Mansion began to operate. The kitchen prepared all kinds of food and delivered it to Ma Cheng like flowing water. Now Ma Cheng has taken over the property of Duke Wei for more than 200 years. Although it cannot be said that wealth can match a country, wealth can match savings. Naturally, Ma Cheng will not treat himself badly if he has money. Daily meals can be described as luxury.

While Ma Cheng was having a delicious lunch, the gate of the courtyard opened and a group of women rushed in for a tall young woman, Gu Miaoyin, the wife of Ma Cheng.

Gu Miaoyin entered the house and glared at Kou Baimen, then sat opposite Ma Cheng and asked, "The master is awake. It's very narrow here. Why don't you go to my room to have a meal?"

Ma Cheng still has a lot of things to do, so he has no time to manage his wife and concubines at home and is jealous. He frowned and said, "No need, I will come to the palace later, I will have a bite here!" After that, Ma Cheng asked again, "Where are you going when I came back yesterday? Chen Qi said you all went back to Chaotian Palace."

Hearing Ma Cheng say this, Gu Miaoyin quickly replied: "That's right. Didn't you say that the city was broken? My mother-in-law was big.

People say that if the master cannot defend the city, all the women in the family will die for their pride, so that I and my aunt who had given birth to children will go to the Chaotian Palace!"

Ma Cheng didn't expect that Ma Shiying would have the courage to sacrifice his country if the city was ruined. It seems that fortunately he fought hard to eliminate the Qing army, otherwise his wife and children would have sacrificed their country.

Gu Miaoyin is just sixteen years old this year, and she is at the age of gossip. At Ma Shiying's house, she heard that Ma Cheng defeated the Qing army with more than 10,000 people. However, Gu Miaoyin was embarrassed to ask Ma Shiying at that time, with his identity in mind. Now when he returned to his home and saw his husband, he naturally had to ask carefully.

"Master, have you really led 15,000 people to defeat 400,000 Tartars?"

Ma Cheng snorted: "Hmph, is this more important? The news from outside the city has already spread. Have you not received it?"

"We don't go out of the gate, so how can we hear accurate news?" Gu Miaoyin heard Ma Cheng confirm the news, and her eyes looked at Ma Cheng in admiration and asked, "Master, can you tell me in detail?"

Ma Cheng knew that Gu Miaoyin was born into a military family and was always curious about this kind of war. However, Ma Cheng still had important things today, so how could he talk nonsense with these women? Ma Cheng had finished eating at this time. He stood up and wiped his mouth and said, "You ask Gu Yong in detail, Master, I have something to do!" After that, Ma Cheng got up and kissed several wives and concubines on the faces, and then went out to the palace.

The incident of Ma Cheng's victory over the Qing army shocked the court and the people. After learning that Ma Cheng had returned to the city, Emperor Zhu Lunkui immediately sent a small eunuch to tell Ma Cheng to enter the palace, but unexpectedly, Ma Cheng was really tired and went to bed when he got home. There was no way, Zhu Lunkui had to pass on the imperial edict, allowing Ma Cheng to enter the palace when he woke up, and he wanted to reward the great hero Ma Cheng.

The siege of Nanjing can be said to be completely due to Ma Cheng alone, and Zhu Lunkui's rise to power was also due to Ma Cheng. If Zhu Lunkui did not give Ma Cheng a suitable reward, let alone those soldiers who fought bloody battles, even the criticism from the government and the public was enough for Zhu Lunkui to bear. So after a whole day of careful consideration yesterday, Zhu Lunkui decided to give Ma Cheng a huge gift.

Ma Cheng has now become a storied figure in Nanjing. Since leaving Confucius Temple home, citizens on the street began to come out to watch Ma Cheng. It was only three miles away from Ma Cheng's home to Xi'an Gate of the palace, but it took two hours.

Ma Cheng came to Xi'an Gate. Qianhu, the Jinyiwei guard at the gate, saw Ma Cheng coming, and quickly knelt down at the door with his knees and shouted: "The last general welcomes the Marquis of Guiyang!"

Ma Cheng nodded and was about to get off the horse and walk, the Jinyiwei Qianhu hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, Your Majesty has an order to grant Guiyang Marquis riding a horse!"

The Forbidden City is the imperial palace, the place where the emperor lives. This place cannot be easily accessible, let alone riding a horse inside. Now, Ma Shiying, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet and a first-class duke in the country, had to walk with his feet honestly when moving in the palace. There were many officials who were given to his ministers in the Ming Dynasty who rode and sat in a sedan chair in the Forbidden City, namely Xu Da, Li Shanchang, and Zhang Juzheng in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. So today the emperor gave Ma Cheng this privilege, which is a great honor.
