Chapter 165 Duke of England

In February, the capital.

The five cities of the military commanders did not dare to neglect any more, so they sent troops to respond, and hundreds of cavalry slowly walked through the streets of the capital.

The five cities of the military personnel were afraid of another accident, so they sent troops to clean the streets early, making the capital in February look a bit depressing, dull, and swaying. More than a hundred personal guards entered the Beijing camp, and inside and outside the Beijing camp were also like a great enemy. They sent troops

Uncle Kaiyuan and his son were strictly protected.

The emperor's oral order has arrived again, and he ordered Kaiyuan to not rush to enter the palace, and he can have a grand ceremony tomorrow.

The Beijing camp station, Ma Cheng took a bath and changed his clothes, and had a meal. Looking at the little palace maid sent by the emperor to serve, the little palace maid was so scared that she knelt down and shivered. Ma Cheng was speechless, and good things didn't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Kaiyuan Ma Wu

In the mind of this little palace maid, it would be fine if it was a big devil who ate human flesh. Having a bad reputation could also shock the little one. Moral gentlemen should think about the weight before they want to spit out next time, so they should avoid it.

It ends up with Yang Lian.

He drove the little palace maid out and ordered Ding Wen to come in and talk.

Ding Wen sat down after eating and drinking, and complained: "Young Master, what is the singing of this? Could it be Fengboting?"

Ma Cheng laughed and scolded: "Do you still know Fengboting?"

Ding Wenchao grinned and said, "I know, Young Master, this capital is going to be in chaos."

Ma Cheng's smile was calm and he secretly praised in his heart. This was the keen sense of danger for the old soldiers in the hundred battles. The troops and horses in the Beijing camp were not frequently mobilized, but undercurrents were surging.

Ding Wenchao shook for a moment, and finally whispered: "Young Master, the waste outside should not be rebellious."

Ma Cheng smiled: "Idiots, all the soldiers in the Beijing camp are nobles!"

Ding Wenchao suddenly said, "Yes, our master is now a nobleman."

Ma Cheng laughed and opened the window to look at the Beijing Camp outside. The three camps should be stationed in the suburbs of the city. This is the Warriors Camp in the inner city, the most powerful army in the capital, and it is also the waste material Ding Wenchao called.

This Warriors Camp was selected from more than 100,000 troops in Beijing, and it may not be really wasteful, and its combat power should be quite good.

The Jingying was no longer as glorious as the Chengzu period. The main force of the Jingying was destroyed by the Tumubao Incident.

Although the old system of the three major camps was restored during the Jiajing period, the elite troops were no longer there. During the Wanli period, the border troops had to recruit take turns to Beijing to guard the troops, called the squad army. Since Liaodong suffered consecutive defeats, even the rotating troops could not be transferred, and 200,000 Beijing troops were

Most of them are old, weak and disabled soldiers, and no more than 50,000 soldiers can fight, which is really pitiful.

Looking back, Ma Cheng whispered: "Do you know that there are more soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp than soldiers."

Ding Wenchao said in surprise: "Who should I listen to in front of those two armies?"

Ma Cheng nodded. This was another major stubborn disease in the Beijing camp. There were too many officials, but there were more than a dozen marquises leading the army, and there were several dukes on it. If they really fought, they would have unclear power and their command system fell into chaos.

Since the time of Chengzu, the Ming army system has been obsessed with the establishment of large corps. To this day, the super large corps of Jingying has finally been completely corrupt and has no cure.

Not long after, the British Duke condemned people and asked for wine to wash away the dust.

At night, the British Duke's Mansion in the inner city.

Marin and his son were welcomed by their subordinates, and the British Duke Zhang Weixian was welcomed in person.

This British Duke is not young anymore, with gray hair and a figure inherited the burly state of the Ying Duke. He has always been in charge of the Central Army Governor's Office and the military power of the Beijing camp. Naturally, he is extremely majestic. At this time, he knew that he was born in the Ming Dynasty.

The importance of the title is that although Marin is a new Count, he also holds the etiquette of his subordinates, but he can sit steadily in front of the dignified British Duke, because Ma Fang, the ancestor of the Ma family, was also a famous general and was a successor.

If it were a commoner's Count, he would probably not be so steady when sitting in front of the British Duke.

The Duke's mansion is naturally very strict, and it is a mistake to take a wrong step. Ma Cheng'an still feels a little depressed while sitting at the bottom. This is the Duke's pressure. Marin's age is only considered a junior in front of the Duke of England.

, It is for people to hold subordinates outside the mansion to see. When you enter the inner house, you have to see the rituals again. The rituals of the Ming Dynasty are also complicated.

Zhang Weixian was very kind and said with a smile: "Your Madam Kaiyuan doesn't have to be too polite. In the past, my husband and your father were both officials in the same court, so he was considered a relationship, not an outsider."

Ma Lin was unwilling to lose his manners and ordered Ma Cheng to come forward to salute. After he had enough greetings, he served the wine. Ma Cheng looked at the energetic old Duke and suddenly understood why the Ming Dynasty was in the capital.

The land has never had a mutiny, and the answer is the old Duke in front of you. The nobles are the foundation of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. A noble family like the Duke of England will never betray the royal family. The nobles are for the Ming Dynasty.

The most loyal group.

Talking about mutiny in front of the Duke of England is an insult to the old man and a insult to loyalty.

After invited to drink, Zhang Weixian smiled and said, "Your father and son are so majestic. I only ask one question, how did the Emperor treat you father and son?"

Malin hurriedly put down his wine glass, lowered his head and replied, "Dude back to China, the old emperor treats me, Ma's kindness as great as a mountain."

Zhang Weixian smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is done, eat wine!"

Ma Cheng didn't dare to make a mistake when he looked at his nose and his nose. He picked up the wine glass and tasted it lightly. His chest suddenly felt the passionate blood. At this moment, he realized the weight of loyalty and righteousness in the hearts of those who were loyal to the emperor. He looked at the Emperor Shenzong like an old father.

It is bigger than the sky, although it is a bit pedantic, but it is really touching. This is the most affectionate nature. Ma Cheng has no doubt that if one day he rises up and turns his army, he will not be able to pass the old father's level. Rebellion is simply a dream.

After all, Zhang Weixian was old and weak, and had a very shallow appetite. He only used some vegetarian dishes and put down his chopsticks. Ma Cheng did not dare to be rude, so he could only smile bitterly at the delicious dishes on the table. When he saw the Duke, he was trembling and did not know the time travel.

How can people chat and laugh in front of the emperor? Perhaps it is because their nerves are much thicker than ordinary people.

Putting down the chopsticks, Ma Lin pondered: "I dare to ask the grandpa, what will happen to the meeting in the morning tomorrow."

Zhang Weixian gasped heavily and snorted coldly: "A clown, please stop the mining tax."

Malin was a little surprised and asked carefully: "Dude, it's been a matter of negotiation for the mining tax for a few days. Is there no constitution yet?"

Zhang Weixian breathed heavily again and reminded: "Tomorrow morning, you father and son should not speak too much. Just listen and just watch, and don't have to worry too much."

Ma Lin agreed respectfully, and then spoke with the Duke of the Kingdom and said goodbye. After leaving the Duke of the Kingdom, Ma Cheng felt inexplicably better. When he met the British Duke, Kaiyuan Ma family officially became a great honor in the Ming Dynasty.

One of them may have a sense of belonging that he had never had before and was in a good mood. My father also raised his chest and raised his head, his face was red, which made Ma Cheng feel quite happy and felt the feeling of glorifying his ancestors.

To shine the family and glorify the ancestors is a kind of satisfaction from the depths of the soul, and there is still some glory.

The next day, the court meeting.

At the fifth hour, I took a shower and changed my clothes, and I left at dawn and went to court at sunrise. This court meeting was also a physical job. I walked to the court room at West Chang'an Street, and when the bells and drums sounded, I walked to the Forbidden City at the right gate. The official military flag school was advanced.

The civil and military officials advanced behind, and they followed the grade station team in the south of Jinshui Bridge. The civil and military officials stood in the east to the west to the Wuxun Station, and stood facing each other on both sides of the imperial road. Is it natural for the Macheng rank in the last row of the Wuxun queue, or
