Chapter 248 Marco’s decision

"My lord, there is still a hidden danger in the soldier who came from Biaoying. He was originally a servant of the general, and his family and parents know that he is a servant of the general. If he cannot be freed from his identity, he will still be controlled by others, so we must investigate."

Wang Yisheng said: "Release him and release him to the people so that he can no longer be a slave. Only then will he be safe."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "This is inevitable. Set a good example from the beginning, and follow the same example from now on. Just go ahead and do it. If anyone has any opinions, let him come to me."

"Here!"

Wang Yisheng bowed and retreated.

Ming will rely on his servants to build private soldiers, which is the foundation of his life. Since he is a servant, he is a domestic slave, and his family members, old and young, are all his slaves.

If this problem cannot be solved, the soldiers trained by Ying Yi will still be controlled by the Ming army's surrendered generals.

The army is the country's army and Ying Yi's army. Private soldiers are absolutely not allowed to exist.

Generals can have personal guards, but they are also Ying Yi's soldiers. Military pay is distributed by Ying Yi, and their family members are also Ying Yi's subjects, and there is a limit on the number.

Where can it be as bad as the Ming Dynasty?

But for Ying Yi, this is not a problem.

The soldiers and their families selected by the original Ding Biao camp must draw a clear line between them and the Ming generals they originally belonged to.

If they have any objections, Ying Yi's knife will tell them that the pot is made of iron.

······

Bai Guangen spent the night guarding the front, seemingly safe and sound, but in fact he was still a little uneasy.

Although he and Ma Ke have always been close, their family and life are at stake. If Ma Ke's brain is forged and he makes a mistake, and Bai Guangen is in Ma Ke's lair, it is hard to say what will happen.

After all, he has personally experienced Ying Yi's tyranny and has great confidence in the future. But Mako is not. Marco only listened to him but did not witness.

When he got up in the morning, Bai Guangen summoned the golden-armored warrior to his side: "I'll go see Marco later. If things go well, there's no need to say more. If things don't go well, my fortune and life will depend on all the brothers."

The official of Baihu, a warrior in golden armor, beat his chest and said: "If things don't go your way, there is a chance of death. The Lord ordered us to guard and not dare to slack off."

Only then did Bai Guangen feel relieved: "Brothers, get ready, I'm going right away."

After saying that, he went out to see Ma Ke.

When we arrived outside the meeting hall, we saw that the three floors outside and the third floor inside were filled with water, and the door to the meeting hall was closed. Bai Guangen's heart changed when he saw this, and he couldn't help but admire Ma Ke's thoughtfulness.

This is a matter of personal wealth and life, and nothing should be leaked before the matter is settled. If Ma Ke is the leader here, but Wu Sangui is the most powerful in the Liaodong Army, it is impossible to say that there are people under Ma Ke who are interested in Wu Sangui. If they are not prepared, the news will be spread, and it may be difficult to do well.

This is true for both Wu Sangui and Ying Yi.

Thinking about this, Bai Guangen felt a little more confident.

He said: "Just tell me that Bai Guangen wants to see you."

Then some soldiers came forward and went to the closed door. After a moment, they turned around and came back: "Your Excellency, please invite me."

Bai Guangen took a breath, walked past the soldiers, and pushed the door open. The door opened with a creak, and a puff of sultry air hit his face.

"Brother Bai, please come in."

Marco's slightly tired voice came, and Bai Guangen looked at him: "Brother Ma."

"Please take a seat."

Marco waved his hand.

Bai Guangen glanced at the corpse in the hall, nodded slightly, and sat down.

Ma Ke rubbed his eyebrows, pointed at the corpse lying in the hall and said: "This man is close to Wu Sangui, and he may have the intention of surrendering to the Eastern captives. I have killed him."

As soon as the words came out, Bai Guangen was overjoyed and stood up suddenly: "Brother Ma is wise, I admire you. Brother Ma, you and I are now colleagues, I am very happy to congratulate you. If there is wine, why not have three drinks?!"

Marco laughed and said, "That's how it should be. Come, let's serve food and wine. I've been hungry all night, and my belly is flat."

It is strange to have a banquet in the early morning, but it is not a problem in the army.

So I pushed the cup and changed the cup. Marco raised his glass and said: "Brother Bai is one step ahead of me. Please take care of me in the future. Please!"

Bai Guangen drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "Brothers, why do you and I have to say these things? Let's support and make progress together."

"Okay!" Ma Ke yelled and said: "Brother Bai, you have met Master Ying. I am shamelessly asking for advice. I wonder what Master Ying's likes and temperament are? So that I can know what I know, so as not to conflict during the visit. It will cause serious problems."

Bai Guangen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Ma is joking. Your Majesty is tall and strong, and your power is unpredictable. I have only seen both sides of your Majesty, so how dare you say you know your Majesty's temperament. But Brother Ma, there is no need to worry, Your Majesty Since I am interested in the Liaodong Army, I can tolerate even a tainted person like my younger brother, let alone Brother Ma. When I meet the Lord, I only need to keep my dignity in mind, and I will surely be of great use."

Hearing this, Marco said: "That's good."

Bai Guangen said: "Without further delay, how about we set off after the banquet?"

Ma Ke is indispensable.

Immediately, they arranged for the front garrison to defend themselves and left their confidants to take care of them. Then they set up Jiading Biao Camp and took a group of generals with a rank of over 1,000 households with them. Together with Bai Guangen, they left the city and headed for Shanhaiguan.

Ma Ke rode a horse and walked with Bai Guangen. He looked at the golden armored warrior over and over again.

These nearly a hundred warriors in golden armor walk like tigers and are majestic. He moves his hands and feet like a human body, extremely strict.

In comparison, his servants, Biaoying, were originally considered elite, and their guards were decent, but they were shocked by the comparison. Compared with the golden armored warriors, both their equipment and their demeanor were inferior by a million. inside.

If the golden-armored warriors were regular troops, then Marko's servant Ding Biaoying was a bandit and a rabble.

Seeing him looking at him one after another, Bai Guangen couldn't help but smile and said: "These are the Lord's personal guards, numbering three thousand."

Marco said in surprise: "Three thousand?! For such well-equipped warriors, three thousand is not a small number."

Bai Guangen said: "How else can we say that the master has returned to his destiny? Brother Ma, not only are the masters personal guards, but the other three thousand soldiers and horses are also armed to the teeth. It's just that the colors of the armor and weapons are different, but the quality is not bad at all. "

Marco was surprised: "There are three thousand more?!"

Bai Guangen said: "It should be said that there are tens of thousands more."

As he spoke, he exclaimed: "If General Wang Yisheng didn't lie to me, the tens of thousands of regular soldiers under the lord's command would all have the same equipment."

Marco was almost speechless.

The generals around were talking a lot, and one person said: "I think these soldiers and armors are extremely sophisticated. I heard that it has been less than a year since the Lord occupied Henan. Where can you get the money and iron materials to build tens of thousands of army armors?"

Bai Guangen heard this and said: "I also asked General Wang Yisheng about this. Oh, by the way, General Wang Yisheng is the commander of the Lord's bodyguard. General Wang only said that he will know when the time comes, which made me feel very itchy."

Ma Ke said: "Those who have always determined the world are all destined by destiny, and there must be something different from ordinary people."

Bai Guangen was convinced.

Then he hurriedly and slowly rushed all the way to Shanhaiguan. As for the central defenders of Guangning who were stationed eastward, they were all put aside. It's not that Bai Guangen and Ma Ke didn't have this in mind, but the military towns to the east of the former garrison were basically controlled by Wu Sangui's cronies.

Without Wu Sangui's token or handwriting, it would be impossible to even get in.

It is better to settle the matter of the former garrison first, and then deal with the district affairs in other military towns.
