222 Ready to fight for another ten years
Zhu Xieyuan didn't expect that Puqian would rebel, but Puqian did a great help, because the attitude of the eunuch party turned over instantly, and everyone agreed to the conditions offered by Ma Qiancheng.
Ma Qiancheng should be relieved this time, right?
He came to Xifeng again with the imperial court's reward and appointment and removal documents, and personally congratulated Ma Qiancheng.
Ma Qiancheng still respectfully invited him into the coach's tent and gave him to the main position again.
After the two sat down, he said excitedly: "General Ma, fortunately, the eunuchs in the court finally gave in. This time they shouldn't bite you and let go."
Ma Qiancheng felt a little mixed with feelings at this moment. These people did not see them praise when they made their contributions. They insisted on making trouble, and they were out of control. Only then did they realize that they were powerful.
Alas, it would be strange if these guys continue to do this.
He said with some ease: "Mr. Zhu, thank you. You also know that we have no choice but to force the rebellion of the chieftains in Shuixi, Bozhou and Xuzhou. I hope you don't take it seriously."
Zhu Xieyuan nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know, it's okay, it's okay."
Ma Qiancheng then asked again: "What will Lord Zhu do next?"
Zhu Xieyuan said without hesitation: "Of course, we will gather people to quell the rebellion in southern Yunnan as soon as possible. General Ma. Now you should be able to go to southern Yunnan with me with confidence, right?"
Going to southern Yunnan with you?
I won't go!
Ma Qiancheng pretended to be a false opinion: "If you go to southern Yunnan, western Shuixi, Bozhou and Xuzhou with you, who will quell the rebellions?"
What do you mean?
Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but say in surprise: "Aren't they just making trouble? General Ma, just order someone to persuade him, right?"
He has already said it more tactfully.
Others don’t know, can he still not know? The chieftains in Shuixi, Bozhou and Xuzhou were all subdued by Ma Qiancheng. Whether to make trouble or not is not Ma Qiancheng’s word, so where does it need to be pacified?
Unexpectedly, Ma Qiancheng actually said seriously: "Mr. Zhu, more than 200,000 rebels, it's not just a tantrum. It will take at least a few years to suppress the rebellion, right?"
Uh, this one.
Zhu Xieyuan understood that Ma Qiancheng wanted to use these chieftains to make trouble, threaten the court, and make the eunuchs be afraid to play tricks, and dare not do anything more.
He said helplessly: "General Ma, is it necessary to do this?"
Ma Qiancheng nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course it is necessary. This matter will be solved so easily. Some people probably should have ideas again. Lord Zhu, I will dare to remind you, you must be careful!"
Are you asking me to fool the court with you?
When Zhu Xieyuan heard this, he was stunned for a while, then shook his head slightly and sighed: "Oh, that's OK, I'll take the elite troops of the four provincial Tunwei to southern Yunnan to suppress the rebellion, and I'll leave it to you here."
That's right. You can't deal with those eunuchs, you can't be too honest, if you're too honest, you will suffer a big loss.
After about half a month, the elite troops of the Tunwei finally gathered. Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five provinces, vowed to go to Guiyang to quell the rebellion.
In the lobby of the Governor's Office, civil officials and military generals gathered together.
On the right head is the newly enfeoffed governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, the Sichuan General Ma Qiancheng. Behind him, he was either the general or the Dusi, and there was a large row standing.
On the left is a sarcastic eunuch leader, with several eunuchs behind him, and a bunch of civil servants stand behind the eunuchs like quails.
There is no way. Now Chongzhen doesn't believe anyone, but he just believes in the eunuchs around him. These eunuchs in the military are so awesome outside. Not to mention local officials, even the governor is afraid of them.
Zhu Xieyuan sat in the main seat, talked a lot, and analyzed the current situation carefully. Then he announced that he personally led the elite troops of the four provinces to southern Yunnan to suppress the rebellion. As for the chieftain rebellion in Shuixi, Bozhou and Xuzhou, and even the guards in Guiyang, they were all handed over to Sichuan General Ma Qiancheng to take charge.
Zhu Xieyuan's decision was really unexpected. Even Ma Qiancheng did not expect that Zhu Xieyuan would even hand over the guards of Guiyang City to him.
It's a bit troublesome now, because there are too many eunuchs in the military supervisors and censors in Guiyang City!
Lord Zhu, would you not bring such a trick on others?
His so-called suppression of rebellion is actually just to act and shout, and he won’t really fight against the so-called “rebels”. If these military inspectors and censors follow him, wouldn’t they be exposed?
What should I do now?
He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution.
Fortunately, there are Clippers near Xishui in Bozhou at any time, so it doesn’t take much time to contact the Zhuqi who is in charge of Shizhu.
He ran to Xifeng forcibly to rectify his subordinates, but secretly wrote a secret letter, ordering people to send them to Xishui. After he was struggling for a few days, he handed over Guiyang defense with Zhu Xieyuan, and Zhu Qizhu's secret letter had already arrived.
In fact, it is easy to think of these guys not following him. Just scare them, because these guys are all greedy and afraid of death.
So Ma Qiancheng started working hard and prepared to go to war.
He was not busy with anything, so he ordered people to buy some medicines for treating miasma, cook them every day, and ordered people to buy animal leather boots everywhere.
This guy has been busy for more than ten days and has not yet gone to war. What does it mean? The eunuch of the military supervisor Sun Maolin finally couldn't help but run over to urge him.
Ma Qiancheng was almost killed by the eunuch in the military insult. After suffering a great loss, he certainly knew how to greet these guys.
The eunuchs in the military are all virtuous, they want face and money.
He directly invited Sun Maolin with his nostrils upside down into the commander's tent, and gave him the main seat, and ordered someone to pay a few hundred taels of silver. The guy's face indeed calmed down: "General Ma, you have been preparing for more than ten days, why haven't you gone to the battle yet? The Za family is still the general to suppress the rebellion. You are always motionless, and the Za family can't explain to the higher authorities."
Ma Qiancheng quickly explained: "Eunuch Sun, you don't know anything. Shuixi, Bozhou and Xuzhou are full of poisonous miasma and poisonous insects. If you don't prepare more potions and leather boots and run over rashly, people won't have to do anything. We will probably be poisoned to death!"
ah!
Not that serious, right?
Sun Maolin couldn't help but say in horror: "Are poisonous miasma and poisonous insects really that powerful?"
He had naturally heard of these poisonous miasma and poisonous insects, but he had never heard of them as scary.
Ma Qiancheng pretended to be full of his face and said, "You must have heard that the Governor of the Five Provinces, Mr. Cai Fuyi, died in Shuixi. Lord Cai was not killed in battle, but was poisoned by poisonous miasma. If you go with the generals, you have to be careful!"
Oh my god, the governor of the five provinces, Cai Fuyi, has been poisoned to death. I'll go with you. Is my mind watered?
Sun Maolin shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, the family should be in charge in Guiyang."
Hehe, just know that you are afraid.
Sure enough, when Ma Qiancheng led his army to fight, no one of the eunuchs or the censors dared to follow him. He pretended to be the one who shouted for a few months and "attacked" Anshun Prefecture City, and each left five thousand imperial guards to guard Guiyang and Anshun, and then he took 10,000 Qi's army to "attack" Shuixi.
The battle was very "hard". Although Ma Qiancheng would order people to pass the news to Guiyang from time to time, it made little progress every time. He either captured a copycat or promoted a lot of miles. With the huge area in Shuixin, I don't know when to fight.
As for the southern part of Yunnan, it is not acting, but fighting the real thing.
Zhu Xieyuan seemed to be quite cautious. Although he won every battle, his advancement speed was quite slow. He walked for more than ten miles every time and quickly ordered people to camp and garrison, as if he was afraid that others would be ambushed.
They are actually delaying time, but there is nothing to say about Wen Tiren and the like.
After all, the last time the She Chongming rebellion in Xuzhou and Anbangyan in Shuixi was quelled for more than ten years, and during this period, two governors, one governor and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers were also given away.
This time, the chieftains in Shuixi, Bozhou, Xuzhou and southern Yunnan were all rebelled, and it would be normal for another ten years to fight.
Who dares to advance alone in a rash manner?
