Chapter six hundred and fifty seven(1/2)
Daxinganling City.
Daxinganling City is a military castle built on the old city of the Tuman tribe.
The most prominent point of this city is that the dangerous walls are high and the architectural style is extremely rough. You can deeply feel the strong fighting spirit above this city at a glance!
It was like a peerless ferocious beast that swallowed the sky and spit out the earth, lying between the white mountains and black waters, shocking all the barbarian tribes north of Liaodong.
At this moment, a noble envoy from afar was welcomed by the city lord's mansion in Daxinganling. This noble envoy was the imperial envoy sent by Zhu Changluo.
After Li Rusong received the news that the imperial envoy of the capital had arrived, he immediately turned down everything and waited for the arrival of the angels.
As the first Xuanzhi imperial envoy who left Beijing, Ding Jinke, came to Liaodong so far for the first time, and was filled with emotion for a while.
Especially when he saw such a mighty city deep in Liaodong, Ding Jinke, a literati, couldn't help but feel aura of a literati who wanted to write a poem.
However, Ding Jinke also knew that his poems were just ordinary works, so he resisted the urge to write poems, and then tightened his collar and complained about the ghost weather in Liaodong.
"The ancients said that the sky is flying in August. It's just June, and it's so cold here in Daxinganling. It's really a bitter and cold place!"
Ding Jinke complained with his follower.
After hearing his words, his entourage echoed, "Sir, this is the sky in Liaodong. I heard that the northward direction, the colder it is. However, this is not a bitter and cold place, it is a treasure land."
Ding Jinke didn't expect that his followers would have such insights. Ding Jinke came, "Tell me, why is this treasure land?"
The follower said, "Sir, I have been here with the convoy of Xishan Huangzhuang before. I have heard people from Xishan Huangzhuang comment on Daxinganling. They said that Daxinganling is full of gold mines, and there are still various rare mountain goods everywhere. Lao Gan, any thing that can be brought to the capital is a expensive luxury.”
Ding Jinke's eyes lit up, "Is this true?"
The follower said, "It's true. The villain followed the Xishan Huangzhuang Convoy that time to escort the treasures deep in the Daxinganling Mountains. The boxes with large inner seals contained golden sand and mountain goods that were scooped out from the Daxinganling Mountains. Old ginseng. These things are always valuable!"
After saying that, the follower also showed Ding Jinke a small strap-style bag he carried with him, "This bag is deer-skinned. This bag costs ten taels of silver in Beijing, and this one is here in Daxinganling. The bag is only three taels at most.”
Ding Jinke looked at the small bag of his followers, and then at the Daxinganling City that was getting closer and closer in front of him, his eyes were full of expectations. He thought the bitter and cold land was unexpectedly a treasure land!
No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to build a city here. It turns out that there are treasures in the depths of Liaodong!
Just as Ding Jinke was chatting, a man in the carriage behind them also opened the curtain and looked at the majestic city in front of them.
This person is Ma Gui, who is about to be transferred to the governor of Daxinganling.
When Ma Gui came to Daxinganling City, he brought three hundred relatives.
These three hundred relatives were following his car, and kept a distance of about ten meters from the imperial envoy Ding Jinke.
Ma Gui's nephew Ma Chengzhi looked at Ma Gui sitting opposite him and asked softly: "Uncle, what is the intention of your highness to call you to Daxinganling?"
Ma Gui glanced at his nephew. His nephew has always been with him and is also a powerful general.
Before this, Ma Chengzhi had already reached the position of deputy general of Liaodong.
When Zhu Changluo transferred Ma Gui into Daxinganling, he also considered the manpower issue after Ma Gui arrived in Daxinganling City. So he waved his pen and asked his nephew to transfer him to Daxinganling City with him.
This was also considered to be a special kindness Zhu Changluo gave him, so that after he arrived at Daxinganling City, there would be no one at hand and he could not take over the military affairs of Daxinganling in time.
Ma Gui looked at his nephew and said lightly: "Your Highness's holy intention, in fact, we can guess? Since Your Highness let you
When I come here, I will come. As long as I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I can do whatever I want."
Ma Gui opened his mouth and realized that he was too tall. Ma Chengzhi was stunned.
He felt that his uncle had changed. Since his highness was appointed as the Prime Minister of Busan, Ma Gui began to speak elegantly. It seemed that at this moment, the Ma family had become a noble family of generations like the honors in the capital.
Seeing Ma Chengzhi reacting like this, Ma Gui immediately broke his efforts.
His tiger eyes glared at Ma Chengzhi, "Why are you so many melon skins? Your Highness has transferred our family to Liaodong. It's because Li Chengliang's family has been in Liaodong for too long, so they have to move their nests.
The simple truth is that I have to make it so clear, and I will beat you to death!"
Ma Gui's mouth is full of old Shaanxi flavor, especially if he "beat you to death", it looks too much like the catchphrase of the Northwest Hammer King Sun Shaoan in "Ordinary World".
Full of joy!
After hearing this sentence "You are beaten to death", Ma Chengzhi immediately showed a simple smile on his face. This is his familiar uncle.
Looking at Ma Chengzhi's smirk, Ma was so noble that he raised his old fist and beat Ma Chengzhi twice.
"You little rabbit, your family will be a family of meritorious deeds in the future. You can't be a little cultivated? You make such fuss every day, I really want to hammer you to death!"
After Ma Chengzhi was punched twice, he sat honestly opposite Ma Gui, not daring to say another word.
At this time, Ma Gui also started talking.
Ma Gui said, "Do you know Yang Sui?"
After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear Ma Chengzhi's reply. Ma Gui's hot temper came back, "Speak, melon peel! Do you really want to get your forehead to death?"
Ma Chengzhi quickly said, "I know, Yang Sui is the newly-appointed Dan Luo, the one who succeeds you as the general of Liaodong."
When talking about the three words Dan Luobo, Ma Chengzhi was very dissatisfied. He felt that Yang Sui's title was picked up by the lucky ones.
The most difficult battle was that his uncle Ma Gui had already finished fighting, and Yang Sui came to pick peaches halfway.
Therefore, Ma Chengzhi was very dissatisfied.
Looking at Ma Chengzhi's dissatisfied look, Ma Gui sighed and said, "Do you know why Yang Sui can rise to Uncle Feng so quickly?"
Ma Chengzhi said: "He was just lucky and was taken to Jizhen by Xiao Ruxun. When Xiao Ruxun was transferred to Tianjin Wei, he happened to pick up a bargain and showed his head, and was ordered by His Highness."
Ma Gui said with a hunch, "Yes are good. But it's not complete! Is Your Highness the Crown Prince so casual? The main reason why Yang Sui can rise like this is because he has made contributions in training the new army in Jixian County. Therefore, he was the Crown Prince.
Your Highness is interested in it. Otherwise, do you think he can make a fortune by leaving a carrot pit for him just after Xiao Ruxun left? It’s childish!"
Ma Gui taught Ma Chengzhi a lesson.
"Yang Sui is a capable man. When our uncle and nephew were still fighting in North Korea, he had already made his mark. Once, Jixian performed a martial arts war and let him show his face in front of the crown prince. Therefore, he had an accident with the unlucky guy Li Rumei.
Later, he was transferred to North Korea by the crown prince. Do you think he was really lucky?”
Ma Gui's scolding made Ma Chengzhi bow his head and look at Ma Chengzhi, who was scolded by himself as a grandson, and Ma Gui softened his attitude.
Ma Gui said: "None of these are the most important. The most important thing is the new army in Jixian County. His Highness has marginalized the garrisons in the towns around the capital, and some have been cancelled. Military households have also been converted into free
The peasant and new army also became recruits directly recruited by the court. It can be seen that His Highness has already been determined to take action against the garrison that had existed in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years."
Hearing this, Ma Chengzhi was instantly alert, "What should we do? Our Ma family's military officers have been out of military office, and the military office has been lost."
Ma Gui looked at Ma Chengzhi and snorted, "Why are you so stupid? What does Jixian Military Academy do? Without the garrison system, won't there be any military academy? Our Ma family now has a title, which means it has it.
The permanent admission quota for Jixian Military Academy. In the future, will our Ma family still be the same as those scoundrels who relied on the garrison to drink blood and eat meat?”
"We are the reserve force of the future Ming New Army! I can't even tell you. I really want to beat you to death! Why did you have a pig's brain?"
After hearing Ma Gui's analysis, Ma Chengzhi immediately smirked, "It's still my uncle who can see it thoroughly."
Ma Gui snorted, "In the future, you kid will study hard, work hard, and try to earn a title for our Ma family! Which is worse than the Li Chengliang family? His family has two earls, our family
There must be!"
After hearing Ma Gui's words, Ma Chengzhi's fighting spirit was immediately inspired.
"Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will definitely not let my uncle down, and I will definitely win a title for our Ma family."
Ma Gui listened to Ma Chengzhi's words and showed a satisfied smile on his face, "This is almost the same. It's not in vain to love you."
When Ma Chengzhi heard Ma Gui say "I didn't love you in vain", he couldn't help but look at Ma Gui's old fist.
After feeling Ma Chengzhi's gaze, Ma Gui suddenly felt as if he was being provoked. He raised his old fist with his beard and glared, "You're going to be beaten to death!"
Ma Chengzhi was beaten by Ma Gui twice again, and sat aside with grievance, not daring to speak.
Then, with a loud noise coming, the imperial envoy Ding Jinke, Ma Gui and others finally arrived in front of Daxinganling City.
Li Rusong and other officers from Daxinganling City had been waiting before the city gate. When they saw a carriage with a triceratops flag, everyone was excited because they knew that this was the carriage of the imperial envoy.
.
Li Rusong immediately ordered: "Prepare to welcome the imperial envoy!"
After the generals received the order, they immediately started to move, sorted out their demeanor, and arranged for drums and music to play.
After Ding Jinke heard the drums and music coming from the front, he stopped chatting with his followers, poked his head out and looked at the crowd of greetings in front of the Great Xing'anling City Gate not far away.
Ding Jinke sighed: "It's finally here."
The convoy arrived in front of the city gate and stopped. Li Rusong and everyone arrived at the carriage with dragon flags, clasped their fists and said, "Let Li Rusong beneath you, welcome the imperial envoy."
Ding Jinke lifted the curtain and looked at Li Rusong who was holding his fists and bowing, and was in a great mood.
Usually, he was a small sixth- and seventh-rank official like him who was in the capital, and after entering the yamen, he always saluted people. Unexpectedly, after leaving the capital and serving as the imperial envoy, there was an earl for him.
He saluted and said hello.
This kind of treatment is so beautiful. No wonder the Beijing officials’ favorite job is to go out to Beijing to serve as an imperial envoy. This is so cool!
However, Ding Jinke also knew how to behave and knew that a different place like Li Rusong should not be looked down upon.
So, Ding Jinke also laughed and clasped his fists and said politely: "My uncle is so serious. I can't afford to be a Blessing Master."
Li Rusong smiled and said, "The Lord is an angel, an imperial envoy appointed by the Emperor and His Highness, and represents the supreme dignity of the Emperor and His Highness. It is a natural duty to salute the Emperor and His Highness."
Ding Jinke was very helpful to listen to Li Rusong's words.
After a few brief greetings between the two, Li Rusong came to Magui to say hello again.
