【Part 14】Forbearance
Zheng He was able to figure out the thoughts of Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di. Ever since he was defeated and captured by Lan Yu in Yunnan, suffered palace punishment and was sent to Prince Yan's Mansion, he had learned to hide his thoughts and learned that a little impatience can lead to a big plan. With his hard work, he gained Zhu Di's trust, and with his forbearance, he saved his brother's life and prosperity.
Zheng He remembered that ten years ago, when he was only twenty years old, his name before changing his surname was Ma Sanbao. In the 14th year of Hongwu, the Ming army fought a battle to pacify Yunnan, and Lan Yu led the army to a complete victory. Mu Ying was left to guard Yunnan. After that, people from Prince Mu's Mansion purged all of Yunnan. Zheng He's hometown was also one of the targets. The whole village was a devout Hui ethnic group. He and his brother Ma Sanbao had just made a pilgrimage from Mecca and passed through Delhi. The Sultanate is back.
In the Delhi Sultanate, Ma Sanbao and Ma Erbao encountered a flash flood. The two teenagers almost drowned due to the mudslides of the waves. The stranger rescued them and healed them. This stranger was a great yogi of the Delhi Sultanate and was proficient in Martial arts. Due to this chance, the two brothers were taught the martial arts of Vivid Glass Cloud Spider and Du Moluo.
The Hui people were dissatisfied with the Ming army's suppression and had been engaging in sporadic confrontations. In order to solve the problem once and for all, Mu Ying led the garrison to attack the Hui people in Kunyangzhou, which was the hometown of Ma Erbao and Ma Sanbao.
Even though the two brothers possessed peerless martial arts, they still couldn't block a car with one arm, and an earthworm couldn't destroy a tree. That night, fire burned Kunyangzhou. Under the setting sun, hundreds of thatched huts were burning with blazing flames, and only Ma Erbao and Ma Sanbao stood on the battlefield. Confronted in front of hundreds of soldiers.
The peripheral archery team of the Mu Family Army can draw their bows and set up arrows to kill them one by one. But does the general of the Mu Family Army think that two young men can stop the Mu Family Army? He decided to use the human sea tactic to exhaust these two people. Look at him. How much can two people have?
One after another, one after another. Ma Sanbao killed dozens of soldiers. His sword collapsed and his whole body was covered with blood. Finally, he fell to the ground due to exhaustion. Lying on the ground made of mud, tears and mud, he watched the army helplessly. Enter the village and kill his parents, relatives, and childhood sweetheart.
But he could do nothing but shed tears.
The Mu family army killed everyone. They were horrified by the bravery of Ma Erbao and Ma Sanbao. After killing so many of their colleagues, Prince Mu's palace actually castrated the two of them, taking away the only remaining evidence of their men and suppressing their will. .
But the fate should not be cut off. King Zhu Di of Yan accompanied the army to the war. When he heard about the two young men killing the Mu family's army, he specifically asked Mu Ying to take the two brothers back to Beijing and appointed a doctor to treat the wounded for his own use.
Logically speaking, Ma Sanbao should swear revenge and take back the life of his enemy. How could he serve the prince of the Ming Dynasty? But Majia Village has been destroyed, and Kunyangzhou in Yunnan is no longer the Hui Kunyang of the past. After this catastrophe in life, Ma Sanbao There is only one brother left in Sanbao.
Ma Sanbao vowed not to lose anyone again.
He decided to fight for rebirth, use his own life to retaliate, and serve Zhu Di in exchange for his brother's life and safety.
This endurance lasts for ten years.
But now, his close brother died unexpectedly, and Zheng He still hid his sorrow. At the scene, Zhu Di did not express any pain at all. Duoyan Sanwei and Ma Erbao were just his subordinates. It was regrettable to die, but not regretful. Zheng He Deep in the middle of the night, I would pinch my thigh hard, not forgetting the death of my brother and the humiliation of castration. Only the bruises and blood marks on my legs could help me learn a lesson.
Zheng He was afraid of Zhu Di, and even more afraid of Yao Guangxiao. On the surface, he showed respect, but in private, Zheng He was observing and learning every move of Yao Guangxiao. Yao Guangxiao, whose origin is unknown, has always been a secret servant in Zhu Di's house. The two of them once
When they competed in Kung Fu in front of Zhu Di, there was no distinction between top and bottom at that time, or Zheng He hid it and did not deal with Yao Guangxiao with all his strength. Maybe Yao Guangxiao did the same, both sides were hiding their own strength.
But what frightened Zheng He more was not Yao Guangxiao's martial arts, but Yao Guangxiao's scheming and tactics. Everyone in the Yan Palace knew that Zhu Di's rebellion would not have been possible without Yao Guangxiao's strategizing.
Yao Guangxiao was Zhu Di's literary courage, military strategist, and the embodiment of the devil in Zhu Di's heart. However, his martial arts skills were comparable to Zheng He's. He was both civil and military, and he was not obsessed with power. He was a terrifying figure in every aspect.
There was such a person around him, and Zheng He had to be on guard against him.
