Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 380 The governor of Shanxi is an inner ghost (fourth more)
"Hahaha."

Datong General Soldier Ma Chengxi first laughed a few times, and then said with a smile on his face:

"Master Xu is really good at joking, it's too difficult for you to change the condition."

"It can't be changed." Xu Dingchen shook his head and looked at Ma Chengxi, that's all he wanted.

"Can't change?" Ma Chengxi looked embarrassed: "Master Xu, it's not like you don't know the situation in front of you?
Now my town of Datong is being ravaged by the Mongolian Tartar Huduntu.

He almost broke through Datong City last year. If I hadn't fought bloody battles, Datong City would have disappeared.

This year he came again to ask for the annual rewards belonging to the descendants of Alda, but the imperial court couldn't come up with the money.

He started to plunder the surrounding areas of Datong Town again. I don't have enough troops to defend the city myself. I'm afraid His Majesty will blame you. Now you want me to send troops to conquer Taiyuan? "

Xu Dingchen continued to nod.

Ma Chengxi sighed and said: "This is unreasonable anyway, the hammer bandits are powerful, Yansui General Soldier Wang Chengyin was captured alive, I can't escape this fate if I go.

It doesn't make sense, on the contrary, Shanxi Town and Datong Town will be lost, and my family, Ma Chengxi and I, will all end up dead. "

Xu Dingchen asked: "You are afraid that the emperor will blame you, but someone in the court will speak to you?"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War is a soldier who knows soldiers. It's not my reason that the court didn't give Hudun a rabbit year reward."

"He, unreliable?"

Ma Chengxi looked suspicious. Because of his brother's affairs, the Ma family had gone bankrupt, so he wanted to make more money at the mutual market to support his family.

Otherwise, Shanxi merchants who have been borrowing money to support their families will not be able to pay it back.

"Don't you know what high-ranking officials in the imperial court are? They are a bunch of people who like to take the blame for others and never take the blame for others. Do you count on them?"

Hearing Xu Dingchen's words, Ma Chengxi clenched his fists irritably.

No matter how much meritorious service your general has made, in the eyes of those civil officials in the court, you are all guilty.

As long as you are a general, you have to be accused of guilt even if you are innocent. They call this beating.

Once you make a mistake, they will definitely hold on to your mistake.

Xu Dingchen pointed to himself and said, "So Mr. Ma, you have to rely on me, us."

"you?"

Suspicion appeared in Ma Chengxi's eyes, could it be that he is also a member of the Donglin Party?
"I've already contacted you." Xu Dingchen pointed:
"Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda in the east, will definitely send troops, otherwise how will he explain to the court? Does he still want to secure the position of governor?
In the south, under the leadership of Ning Rui, the right chief envoy, Hu Dawei, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, and thousands of other elites, have been waiting for an opportunity to cut off the food route of the hammer bandits.

To the west is the elite Guan Ning army of generals Cao and Cao, fighting back and forth with the Jurchen Tartars.

Now wait for you, Zongbing Ma, who is in the north.

As long as you send people to send troops first, you will be able to gather and respond this time, and the first contribution to recovering Taiyuan will be yours. "

What Xu Dingchen said was at least based on facts. As for how much he exaggerated, only he knew.

"But here are the Mongols."

"In my opinion, Huduntu must not dare to make a big fuss like last year. He just wants me to give him a yearly reward."

Xu Dingchen pointed to the east: "The Jurchen Tartars have all quit the capital, and the hundreds of thousands of Qin Wangjun have not moved yet. If he goes too far, it will definitely lead to backlash.

What's more, the Yansui Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief are all the first wave of reinforcements sent by the imperial court, and there will be a second and third wave later. "

Ma Chengxi was moved by Xu Dingchen's set of analysis, after all, what he said had some truth.

Especially the big and small Cao Nai are the frontier generals of Datong Mansion, and Ma Chengxi knows their bravery.

With them charging ahead, they will definitely be able to defeat the hammer bandits.

Xu Dingchen was originally elected by everyone, and he was the governor of Shanxi at the very least, no one wanted to come.

If it weren't for the Hammer Bandits and high-ranking thieves making trouble in Shanxi, and there was no money to open up such a good position, he would never be able to be the second rank in his life.

He was also afraid at the beginning, but after being afraid, Xu Dingchen knew it was useless.

He wants to seize opportunities, and he must do his best to do things that others cannot do.

At this moment, a soldier walked in from the outside and whispered a few words in Ma Chengxi's ear.

Ma Chengxi's expression changed.

Xu Dingchen thought to himself, could it be that Huduntu took the opportunity to make big things again?

"Master Xu, let's wait and see for a while, waiting for the imperial reinforcements."

"What news did Zongbing Ma get?" Xu Dingchen asked directly, because he just felt that Ma Chengxi was about to agree.

Ma Chengxi shook his head and said: "You had high hopes on Cao Wenzhao, who was severely injured by the hammer bandit He Jinzhao and almost died.

Cao Bianjiao fled to Shaanxi in embarrassment with the remnants of his troops, and he might not return to Shanxi in a short time. "

"what?"

Xu Dingchen was stunned for a moment.

It was he who invited the big and small Caos to fight the hammer bandits and inflicted heavy damage on the hammer bandits outside Taiyuan City.

If it weren't for him, it would be very difficult for Taiyuan City to lift the siege.

In those two days, everyone came to compliment Xu Dingchen, something he had never enjoyed in his life.

It's a pity that everyone was unhappy for three days. He Jinchao led the reinforcements and defeated Wang Chengyin, the general of Yansui, and Taiyuan City was captured by the hammer bandits.

If Cao Xiaocao had not been invited by Xu Dingchen, Taiyuan City might not be captured by He Jinchao in a short time.

Xu Dingchen didn't realize at all that if he didn't want to work hard to start a career, officials at all levels in Taiyuan City would continue to do bad things.

Because of the bad performance of Ming officials, He Jinzhao would have to spend a lot of military and material resources if he wanted to take Taiyuan, and he would even have to guard against sneak attacks from the imperial court and other reinforcements.

As a result, Xu Dingchen, a person who wanted to do practical things, interfered, and he helped He Jinzhao revitalize the entire Taiyuan Mansion.

Not only did the states and counties around Taiyuan Mansion surrender to He Jinchao overtly and secretly, but Xu Dingchen also assisted He Jinchao in earning a great reputation as a hammer bandit.

In a short time, no one from the surrounding government forces dared to provoke him!
The remaining government and military forces in Shanxi Town trembled, and they all stood firm in the city.

No matter who it is, they have to weigh the fate of Yansui's chief and deputy chief soldiers.

It can be said that He Jinzhao was able to conquer Taiyuan and pacify the surrounding area of ​​Taiyuan Mansion.

The biggest hero is a Beijing official from the capital of Ming Dynasty, Xu Dingchen, an expatriate official who wants to make a big difference, the governor of Shanxi.

Hearing the latest news reported by the soldiers, Ma Chengxi, the commander-in-chief of Datong, dared not send anyone to provoke the hammer bandits, he was too busy to take care of himself!
To provoke a strong enemy, wouldn't you be flanked by front and back?
Ma Chengxi thought that he couldn't beat Huduntu's Mongols, nor He Jinzhao's Hammer bandits, so it was safest to stay in the city.

"Master Xu will stay in my Datong Mansion for a while to avoid the limelight of the hammer bandits."

"No." Xu Dingchen stood up and said:
"Mr. Ma only needs to send a small group of troops to Taiyuan as a fake soldier, and make a big publicity that you will send troops, so that you can go to Fanzhi County to get gold.

As for the Mongolian Huduntu, I personally acted as an envoy to persuade him to quit Datong Mansion, how about it? "

Ma Chengxi was overwhelmed by the courage of the civil servant in front of him.

This is a good official who really does practical things for Daming!
