Chapter 248: Apologize
When Gu Miaoyin heard Zhang Guozhu say this, she became really panicked and asked quickly: "Uncle, what should I do?"
In the past, Gu Miaoyin relied on her own family to make a lot of efforts for Ma Cheng’s army, and she couldn’t help but be arrogant and domineering at home. But now Zhang Guozhu said that Ma Cheng has gradually left the Gu family, what should I do now?
Zhang Guozhu thought for a while and said, "Niece, it's not that my uncle said to you, you're too stingy!"
After Zhang Guozhu said that, he pointed at the side and said, "Isn't this just a toy? There are not many of your father and brothers, why should you do this?"
Zhang Guozhu was right. The atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty was open and society was very open about Longyang, especially in the army. Because female relatives were not allowed to be brought, those generals had to find some beautiful personal soldiers to use to get rid of fire in daily life. Gu Miaoyin's old man and brother were both generals from Guizhou, so naturally these tone were indispensable in the army.
Gu Miaoyin now felt very regretful of what she had done just now. He heard Zhang Guozhu say this and asked quickly: "Uncle, how can the niece change his mind?"
"This is simple. If you dress up this actor and send it to the Grandmaster's tent, the most important point is to give birth to a child for the Grandmaster as soon as possible. This is the key to ensuring the status of the niece!"
Zhang Guozhu was right. Chang Qing was only a male favorite, and Ma Cheng and other women were also concubines. As long as Gu Miaoyin gave birth to a legitimate son, his status would be very stable and he could not be shaken at all.
Gu Miaoyin was awakened by Zhang Guozhu's words. Now it is different from before. Ma Cheng used to rely on the Gu family's power to control the army. Now Ma Cheng's power has become, and he will no longer be as respectful as before when treating the Gu family.
"Thank you, my niece, thank you for reminding me. Please tell me more good things about my niece in the future. My niece will not forget my uncle!"
Zhang Guozhu nodded and agreed. This time he did not help Gu Miaoyin because of his friendship with the Gu family. The main reason was that Zhang Guozhu had seen through what Ma Cheng did, just to be a warlord. Ma Cheng had the most combative army, and with the most powerful Nanzhili, it was very likely that he would succeed in the end. When Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Jiqing, he would have been less than a hundred and only tens of thousands of local warlords?
In order to consider his future and his descendants, Zhang Guozhu decided to help Gu Miaoyin, because if Ma Cheng really succeeds, the Gu family's power will rise. If Gu Miaoyin gives birth to a legitimate son, he will basically be Ma Cheng's legal successor.
Now Zhang Guozhu was very satisfied when he heard Gu Miaoyin say this, and then he gave a few more instructions before leaving the room.
After Zhang Guozhu left, Gu Miaoyin did not dare to delay, so he made people scream unconscious Changqing. Then, regardless of the terrifying Changqing, he took him with him and Zhang Guozhu back to the military camp, preparing to apologize to Ma Cheng.
Ma Cheng was really angry today. He used to treat Gu Miaoyin well. One was for the sake of the Gu family, and the other was that he had never had the freshness of a muscular woman like Gu Miaoyin. But now Ma Cheng has been married to her for two years, and the curiosity at that time was gone, and only Gu Miaoyin's willfulness, unreasonableness, and ignorantness.
After Ma Cheng returned to the military camp, he sat in the tent and sulked. When his personal soldiers and generals saw the generals angry, they did not dare to speak one by one. They stood quietly at the door of the tent waiting for orders. After a long time, Gu Yong whispered at the door: "Master!"
Gu Yong called
After saying that no one was talking inside, there was no way to scream again, Ma Cheng asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"
"Master, the lady is back and I want to ask to see Master!"
When Ma Cheng heard Gu Miaoyin coming back, he became angry again and cursed angrily: "Let her get out, I don't want to see her!"
When Gu Yong heard Ma Cheng say this, he looked back at Gu Miaoyin in a very embarrassing way, and then said, "Madam, the general is still angry, why don't you see..."
Before Gu Yong could finish speaking, Gu Miaoyin pushed Gu Yong away and walked in, and saw Ma Cheng sitting there sulking.
Ma Cheng didn't expect Gu Miaoyin to dare to break in, so he stood up and asked in fright, "What are you doing? What do you want to do?" Ma Cheng knew that this wife had skills, so it would be embarrassing if she couldn't beat her up.
But what surprised Ma Cheng was that Gu Miaoyin did not beat Ma Cheng, but came to Ma Cheng, knelt on both knees and said, "Master, I am wrong, please forgive me!"
Seeing that Gu Miaoyin was here to admit his mistake, Ma Cheng calmed down and sat down on the chair again, then asked, "Say, what mistake did you make?"
Gu Miaoyin pouted and said, "I am jealous, I promise that I will not commit it again!"
Ma Cheng was secretly happy when he heard Gu Miaoyin say this. It was better in ancient China. The vast majority of women were deeply poisoned by feudal ideas, so it was a sin to not find a wife for their husbands.
"Since you admit that you are wrong, I will forgive you. Tomorrow morning, you can clean up and go home and wait for the news of your victory for your husband!"
Gu Miaoyin heard Ma Cheng drive her home, this is not OK!
"Master, I got my mother-in-law's promise this time. Now I don't have a legitimate son. My mother-in-law asks me to return to Nandu after I get pregnant!"
Ma Cheng was really a headache when he heard Gu Miaoyin say this. This is the front line. I don’t know when Lu Wang’s army came over. I have time to play the fun of the boudoir with you.
"No, it's really a mess. Do you think war is a playhouse? Go back to Nandu soon tomorrow morning!"
Gu Miaoyin heard Ma Cheng's decisive words, tears were so angry that she burst into tears in her eyes. She said aggrievedly: "Master, I have been married to you for two years and there has been no movement. The maids and mothers in the mansion scolded me behind my back as hens who can't lay eggs, and Yun Niang and others, who are also watching my jokes behind my back. Is it true that the master doesn't care about me at all?"
Ma Cheng felt a little disgusted when he heard Gu Miaoyin say this. Ma Cheng knew that in this era, mothers are valued by their sons. If a woman does not give birth to a son for her husband's family, she will have no status in society. However, pregnancy is not something Ma Cheng can do. From marriage to now, he has had sex with Gu Miaoyin countless times, but there is no news at all.
If there was no news from Ma Cheng's other concubines, it would be said that Ma Cheng's physical problems were present, but the other concubines gave birth to three sons for Ma Cheng in a row, and one of them was in Ruan Lizhen's belly. It seems that it is not Ma Cheng's fault, but Gu Miaoyin's physical problems.
Thinking of this, Ma Cheng had to say, "Okay, there is no war now, you can stay in the army!"
Gu Miaoyin was overjoyed when she heard Ma Cheng say this, but Ma Cheng continued: "But you only have one month. I guess you will start a war with the Lu Ni army next month. It is really inconvenient for you, a woman, to be in the army, so you must return to Nandu in March!"
Gu Miaoyin listened to Ma Cheng like this
Although he was still a little unwilling to do so, after thinking about it for more than a month, he was enough to conceive, so Gu Miaoyin nodded and agreed.
It’s great that Gu Miaoyin stayed in the camp. From now on, Ma Cheng has been singing and singing every day, and he has to come with Gu Miaoyin several times every day, making Ma Cheng almost become a breeding pig. In the end, Ma Cheng made a fuss, and even Wang Xian stood up and tactfully persuaded Ma Cheng to pay attention to his health. After all, Ma Cheng is still young, so don’t fall into the root of the disease in this kind of thing.
As time goes by, the weather in Nanzhili has become warmer and warmer, the Grand Canal has been opened to navigation, and the official roads in various places have gradually become hardened.
On February 16, Governor Su Song, Qi Biaojia, in Suzhou Prefecture, received a letter of demonstration from Ma Cheng. After reading the letter, Qi Biaojia laughed and said to the generals around him: "I have heard that Ma Shiying, the second son, does not study, is as stupid as a pig. I used to think that scholars criticized Ma Shiying, but after reading this letter today, I believe it!"
The people around him didn't know what they meant and asked Qi Biaojia what was written in his letter.
Qi Biaojia shook his letter and said, "This Ma Cheng said that he led the 110,000 tiger and wolf army. He will soon destroy our governor. Let us disperse you quickly, and then kneel down and crawl to Zhenjiang to ask for forgiveness!"
After Qi Biaojia finished speaking, he looked at the letter and continued, "It's also said that he led thousands of elite soldiers and defeated millions of Qing Dynasty soldiers in one day and one night. Now he only needs to bring 10,000 troops to eliminate all of us! Are you talking about this guy being arrogant?"
Now the people's military achievements are so amazing. Some say that Ma Cheng brought 10,000 troops to destroy the Qing army, and they say that Ma Cheng would spit out fire and burn all the Qing army to death in one morning. Anyway, it's all said.
However, what Ma Cheng said today is official news, but these are simply impossible in Qi Biaojia's eyes.
Qi Biaojia is not a general, but he is familiar with ancient Chinese history and knows that some battles in history win more with fewer victory, but that is based on sufficient preparations in the early stage, appropriate military mobilizations for generals in the middle stage, and other factors, in the end, they can achieve a certain person's reputation as a famous general.
Although Ma Cheng is so powerful now that he is the only one who says that everything is his contribution, Qi Biaojia knows that the direct reason for the defeat of the Qing Dynasty was the bad weather in Nanzhili.
After Duoduo occupied Nanzhili, he began to send troops to attack those prefectures and counties that refused to surrender, and fought as far as Songjiang Prefecture. Qi Biaojia also knew these Qing troops very well. At the same time, Qi Biaojia's Lu Wang army also accepted some of the surrendered soldiers from the Qing army. Therefore, Qi Biaojia knew very well about the reason for the failure of the Qing army, that is, he was dissatisfied with the land and water.
This is also one of the differences between Qi Biaojia and Fang Guoan and other generals. Fang Guoan and others only saw Ma Cheng's achievements, but Qi Biaojia saw how lucky Ma Cheng won. If it weren't for the Qing army's dissatisfaction, if it weren't for the sultry summer weather in Nanzhili, if it weren't for the two typhoons in autumn, it was hard to say what the end of the Battle of Nanjing would be.
Because of this, Qi Biaojia insisted on leading troops to quickly occupy Zhenjiang and then advance to Nanjing because he didn't believe that Ma Cheng was really as powerful as the legendary one.
