Yue Qijie is Ma Cheng's uncle, and he knew too much about his wife and nephew before. Ma Cheng was born when Gu was 31 years old. As the saying goes, the old son and grandson, the old lady's eyes. Ma Cheng has become Gu's flesh since he was born. He is afraid of falling in his hand, and afraid of melting in his mouth. In addition, after Ma Cheng was born, Ma Shiying went to Shanxi to become an official. Gu took three children to live in Nanjing. Without the control of his father, and with spoiled, Ma Cheng became a playboy.

Yue Qijie used to think that Ma Cheng was an ordinary second-generation official, but today I was shocked to hear Ma Cheng say this.

Yue Qijie looked at Ma Cheng up and down repeatedly, then sighed and said, "Zhong and nephew, I really didn't expect you to be very wise! Unfortunately, your brother Ma Luan is a juren and has been studying hard for many years, but his knowledge is not as good as you, a white dick!"

Yue Qijie is talking about Ma Cheng's elder brother Ma Luan. If Ma Cheng is the negative example of a second-generation official, then Ma Luan is definitely the positive example of a scholarly family. Ma Luan was born in the 43rd year of Wanli. According to the tradition of being two years old in the Ming Dynasty, Ma Luan is in his thirty-year-old this year.

As the eldest son, Ma Luan received the most orthodox Confucian education when he was a child, and Ma Luan did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He was a juren when he was 24 years old. In the same year, under the recommendation of his uncle Yang Wencong, he married the Jiangnan gentry and the daughter of the Zhang family in Ningbo. He was so proud!

However, because Ma Luan's father-in-law is from the Zhang family in Ningbo, Ma Luan and the Donglin Party and the Qingliu literati of Fushe have a deep friendship. This time, Ma Luan, like Yang Wencong, also persuaded Ma Shiying to support King Lu to take over. Yue Qijie was alone, and Ma Shiying was indeed not optimistic about King Fu, so he did not adopt Yue Qijie's suggestion.

Now that someone finally agreed with his own opinions, Yue Qijie was overjoyed and held Ma Cheng's hand and asked, "Nephew, how did you think of this?"

Ma Cheng was so respected in later generations, and was so excited that he blushed. He heard Yue Qijie ask him quickly, "My uncle, my nephew has read history books these days, and in the biography of Emperor Gaozu of the Grand Historian, he found that the truth that the gun came out of power. His father held millions of troops in the four towns of Jiangbei, and could clearly fight for a higher position. Now King Fu is isolated and helpless. As long as his father's strong support is willing to support him, the position of the new dynasty's chief minister in the future will definitely be his father. At that time, the uncle can also rise and go further!"

Now the chaos in the world is in the late Ming Dynasty, and it has basically had the prototype of warlord separatist rule in the late Han and Tang dynasties. This was reflected in the Chongzhen period. Every time the battle with the peasant army failed, Chongzhen could only kill civil officials to vent his anger and did not dare to move the generals leading the front line. Yue Qijie fought with the peasant army many times and naturally knew the current situation in the world.

However, Ma Cheng's words were too explicit, so he almost said that Ma Shiying would be the one who was in charge of the country. The Governor's yamen was full of eyes, and Yue Qijie quickly blocked Ma Cheng's mouth and looked at the fact that there was no one else around him except Gu San, and then he felt relieved.

Yue Qijie whispered: "Zhong and nephew, what do you mean, my uncle knows, but don't tell outsiders that these words are known? Otherwise, the disaster of our Ma family will come!"

It’s not that Yue Qijie was too careful. Although the north is now in ruins, the Ming Dynasty still occupies half of the country and is still the richest provinces. According to the current situation, the Ming Dynasty is likely to last for hundreds of years like the Southern Song and Eastern Jin Dynasties. If Ma Cheng’s words were heard by ministers in the court or future emperors, it would be over. Not to mention that Ma Shiying had the merit of supporting him, he was the emperor’s biological father. As long as he had the idea of ​​separatism, he would have to kill one pair, and he would be vague at all.

When Ma Cheng heard Yue Qijie wake up, he remembered that it is not the future generation of freedom of speech. It is now an old society of evil. If you say something wrong, you can get the heads to the ground.

Ma Cheng quickly bowed and said, "Uncle, my nephew Menglang, thank you for your wake-up!"

Yue Qijie had changed his opinion of Ma Cheng at this time and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I like you very much. Your father will be able to come back from Pukou in more than ten days. At that time, I will say your words in front of your father and try to convince your father!"

Ma Cheng was overjoyed when he heard Yue Qijie say this. When he came to this strange era, the only thing he could rely on was his familiarity with history. As long as history can return to the right track, he would have more than a year of buffering time. He could train a new army. With the strong national strength and endless population advantages of Nanming, he would definitely be able to fight the Qing Dynasty and find teeth, so he would not have to escape to Japan. Although Japanese sashimi was delicious, no one could stand eating it every day.

Ma Cheng, who accomplished a major event, was very happy. After saying goodbye to Yue Qijie, he took Gu San out of the third hall to the second hall. The third hall was the internal affairs agency of the Governor's yamen, that is, the Governor's own secretarial office, the General Office, and the Second Hall were the official service agency of the Governor's yamen.

Ma Shiying was in charge of the army, including Denglai, Shandong, Huaibei, etc., so the second hall was directly under the governor's agency in various places, including military preparation roads, food supervision roads, river roads, etc. There were more than a dozen houses, and wooden signs were hung at the door.

Now the news of Chongzhen hanging in Beijing has spread. Li Chuang's power has arrived in Shandong, so the Governor's yamen is busy. Shandong and Henan have sent the documents for recruiting soldiers and grain to be sent here like snowflakes. The entire Governor's yamen is busy, so naturally no one cares about Ma Cheng, a idle person who came out of the Third Hall.

Ma Cheng looked at him and took Gu San out of the main entrance of the second hall and entered the main hall of the Governor's Office, which is the White Tiger Festival Hall mentioned in the Water Margin Book.

However, the White Tiger Hall was a military institution in the Song Dynasty. It was more than 500 years since the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty had also abolished the name. Therefore, the main hall of the Fengyang Governor's Office was not the White Tiger Hall, but the main hall was not something that ordinary people could enter.

There were personal soldiers guarding the main hall. Ma Cheng and Gu San were discovered by the guards as soon as they walked into the lobby through the corner gate. Today, a Qianhu was on duty, and fortunately Gu San's old acquaintance. The Qianhu saw that Gu San dared to bring an outsider into a military important place, and said furiously: "Gu Laosan, do you want to live? What is this place? Do you dare to bring an outsider in?"

Gu Sanyi saw the man and sweated coldly. He quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Zhang, who dares to come in, the second young master insists on coming over and checking, but I have no choice..."

Ma Cheng bowed from the side and said, "This uncle, I am Ma Cheng, Ma Shiying is my father. I want to come and see the Governor's Office. Don't blame Gu San!"

The Zhang Qianhu glared at Gu San, then bowed to Ma Cheng and said, "Second Young Master, this is the place where the general manager gathers generals to order troops. Outsiders break in and want to cut their heads. Please don't make things difficult for the last general!" After Zhang Qianhu said that, he waved his hand and two personal soldiers came from behind. Zhang Qianhu continued, "Escort the Second Young Master out of the Small Gate!"

Ma Cheng originally wanted to go to the main hall to see if it was the same as written in Water Margin, hitting a white tiger. But seeing Zhang Qianhu's appearance as dead, Ma Cheng sneered: "Hmph, Zhang Qianhu has such a great official power. My father is my father's legitimate son. Can't this main hall still go?"

Ma Cheng got angry, but he knew that Zhang Qianhu ignored Ma Cheng at all. He waved his hand and the two personal soldiers and generals Gu San out. Then Zhang Qianhu bowed and said, "Please, the second young master!"

Seeing that Zhang Qianhu was unkind, Ma Cheng had no choice but to follow his personal soldiers out of the main hall from the small gate and come to the street in front of the Governor's Office.

There is a large square in front of the Governor's Office, and there is a ritual gate outside the gate. Ma Cheng stood in front of the main gate and looked at the plaque "Fengyang Governor's Office" on the door and scolded: "Your mother, what awesome is a thousand households? When my father comes back, he sues you and asks you to go to the Shandong frontline to eat shit!"

Ma Cheng turned around and asked Gu San, "Where is that Zhang Qianhu coming from? Why don't you give me any face? Isn't it just a visit to the main hall?"

Gu San looked at Ma Cheng and said, "Second Master, you can't afford to offend Zhang Qianhu at home except for the old lady!"

Ma Cheng heard Gu San say this and said angrily: "What? This guy is even better than my elder brother? Is he the master's illegitimate son?" Ma Cheng thought about it and was not right. Zhang Qianhu seemed to be in his forties, and his father was only fifty-three years old. There was such a big illegitimate son there.

"Second Master, don't hear this from the master, otherwise I can really beat you up!" After Gu San said that, he said Zhang Qianhu's origin in detail.

It turned out that the Zhang Qianhu was named Zhang Guozhu. The Qianhu official position was not ordinary, it was hereditary or was named by Taizu. It turned out that Zhang Guozhu's ancestor was a fellow villager of Ma Cheng, the ancestor of the Ma family. He joined Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising army with Ma Cheng, but the Zhang family's ancestor did not have the luck of Ma Cheng and died on the battlefield. Before his death, he entrusted his underage son to Ma Cheng, so the Zhang family has been very close to the Ma family throughout the dynasties. Ma Shiying also regarded Zhang Guozhu as his younger brother. After learning that the court appointed him as the governor of Fengyang, he immediately transferred Zhang Guozhu from his hometown in Guiyang to serve as an officer in the Governor's Office.

The personal guards of the central officers in charge of the governor have always been the closest person. When Ma Cheng heard Gu San say this, he had no choice but to curse: "When I am successful, I will definitely let Zhang Guozhu clean the toilet!"

At this time, Ma Cheng and Gu San stood on Fuqian Street in front of the Governor's yamen. Fengyang Governor's yamen was the former Fengyang Governor's yamen. Originally, the Governor of Fengyang was stationed in Jie Huaian, and while responsible for the defense of Jiangbei, he was also responsible for the transportation of grain. Later, during the Wanli period, the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Gover

Fengyang is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown and the Zhongdu of the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he ordered Li Shanchang to build Zhongdu, so there was also an imperial city in Fengyang City. In addition to these, there were also the palaces of various princes conferred by Zhu Yuanzhang, but these were all burned out by fire when Li Zicheng burned Fengyang.
