In just two months, Qin Liangyu's face was full of vicissitudes of life. As the old saying goes, the mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. Ma Wannian is carrying the banner for the first time to go on an expedition. As a grandmother, she is always worried about her, even though she has four experienced nephews. Er is assisting on both sides, but he is already uneasy because his opponent is a more experienced bandit army, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the slightest mistake can cause irreparable losses.
Qin Liangyu doesn't want to lose her black hair anymore. Her elder brother and younger brother have sacrificed their lives for the country, and her husband and son have also been loyal to the country. Now the only thing left in the Ma family is Ma Wannian. If something goes wrong again, after her death I don’t even know how to meet the ancestors of the Ma family.
But Ma Wannian had to go!
As a heroine who can go down in history, Qin Liangyu's boldness and vision are incomparable to others. She knows that loving mothers often lose their children, and doting and over-protection will only be counterproductive. Now that she is still alive, all the chieftains in Shizhu are still alive. He is obedient and can maintain a peaceful military appearance, and he is the only one who obeys him in the surrounding Xidong. But once he leaves, will the current Ma Wannian be able to control the situation.
No one knows this grandson better than Qin Liangyu. With his current qualifications, prestige, and means, he is far inferior to his father, let alone an old fox like her. He can't control the various chieftains at Xitong below, even if there are four Nephew helps.
So before she died, she wanted to train her grandson well so that he could firmly take the position of chieftain of Shizhu. Like his father, he could not only act alone, but also become a pillar of the imperial court. There were so many chieftains in the Ming Dynasty, but In the past few decades, no one could match the prestige of the Shizhu Ma family in the government and the public. She wanted Ma Wannian to continue this prestige!
Although Qin Liangyu earned most of this prestige, she is also a member of the Ma family, so she has to use her little remaining energy to cultivate a qualified successor to the Ma family.
When Ma Xianglin was still alive, he had extremely strict requirements on Ma Wannian, and he did everything he could to learn literature, martial arts, and military skills. After Ma Xianglin died in battle two years ago, Qin Liangyu had even stricter requirements on him and let go of some government and military affairs and handled them personally with him, hand in hand. Teach him how to govern, how to deal with various relationships, etc.
The only regret is that in terms of the art of war, the war is still on paper for ten thousand years. He needs an opportunity to actually fight. Although he has fought with his father before, carrying the flag with others is completely different from carrying the flag by himself.
So when this opportunity came, she pushed Ma Wannian out without hesitation, but she was always wary.
He was already seventy years old and his energy was already low. When Ma Wannian left, he took almost all his troops with him. Qin Liangyu had to do everything in his own hands, and he was physically and mentally exhausted in the past two months.
But all the hard work was worth it. After Ma Wannian launched his army, news came back every few days, such as the overwhelming response from the surrounding Xidong, and the easy capture of surrounding prefectures and counties, which made Zuo Liangyu extremely happy.
In the blink of an eye, it had taken two months to launch troops and attack Chongqing, and it was almost one month. Qin Liangyu was now under pressure.
She is a veteran of many battles, with a meticulous mind and a sharp vision. For example, when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan years ago, she deduced where the rebels must attack after listening to the route of the rebels entering Sichuan. At that time, she gave a sharp suggestion to hit seven inches, but her superiors ignored her.
This time she also talked about how to avoid Chongqing in advance, just to let Ma Wannian experience and train his troops. However, as time passed, all kinds of troubles came, not to mention the difficulty in supplying food and grass, and the most important thing was that once the rebel army If reinforcements arrive, the horse will be in danger forever!
What to do? At this time, Zuo Liangyu did not know whether the rebellion in Yunnan had been put down, so he did not dare to withdraw his troops rashly. However, if he did not withdraw his troops, it would be dangerous if he was surrounded, and his supply of food and grass was no longer available.
While he was struggling, someone from Lingbao Pagoda in Fuzhou sent news that the eunuch of Dongchang had come from Yunnan and was in Fuzhou at the time. He would go to Shizhu to see him soon.
Qin Liangyu was overjoyed. Since the eunuch came, it meant that the rebellion in Yunnan had been put down. Calculating, he had only stayed in Yunnan for more than twenty days at most. It was really amazing that the rebellion was put down so quickly. But think about it, maybe the quelling was successful. It's from Prince Mu's Mansion, he's just supervising the battle.
But even so, she was very curious about this eunuch and wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of leader he was, who could turn the tide and defeat the bandits and Tatars in just one year.
So she quickly arranged for the eunuch to be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and also asked someone to order Ma Wannian to withdraw her troops quickly. Since the rebellion in Yunnan was over, her mission was completed. She hurriedly evacuated before the reinforcements of the rebel army arrived. If it's too late, it will only cause changes.
Unexpectedly, the visitor said that the eunuch had sent someone to give the order to withdraw the troops before he arrived in Fuling. He said that he was afraid that the rebel reinforcements would come and be flanked and unable to advance or retreat...
Qin Liangyu was stunned immediately!
This eunuch is indeed extraordinary.
It seemed that everything was in his calculations and under his control. On the way to Yunnan, he began to send troops to contain Zhang Xianzhong. Of course, he also asked Prince Mu's Mansion to make other preparations in advance. He spent twenty days to pacify the situation. rebellion, and then calculated that it was almost time for Zhang Xianzhong to start sending troops to aid Chongqing... Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan, Zhang Xianzhong in Chengdu, Shi Zhu himself, how did he prepare for a rainy day, and the time difference was calculated so carefully.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the admirals of Dongchang were all top officials in the officialdom. Although they were not of high rank and were not the top officials, he was the only one who dominated the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty. So when he learned that Chang Yu was here, Qin Liangyu did not dare to neglect him. Although it is ancient, he still insists on welcoming people, believing that etiquette cannot be lost.
Two days later, when Chang Yu crossed the Long River from Fengdu and arrived at the Shamao Mountain military camp on the other side, Qin Liangyu had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time. He saw an old woman with white hair on crutches from a distance, and Chang Yu hurried forward.
Qin Liangyu was surprised when he saw a young man walking quickly. He didn't even take a closer look before he bowed and saluted: "I..." Before he could finish his words, Chang Yu had already hurried to the front, reached out his hand to support him, knelt down and bowed: "Dong Chang Changyu pays homage to General Qin!"
Everyone was shocked, and Qin Liangyu was also startled.
The great eunuch of Dongchang! Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty rushed to hug this being who was kneeling down to worship an old chieftain. This was something that was impossible in all dynasties, but it really happened before his eyes.
Chang Yu didn't call himself the governor or our family, which meant that he was not an eunuch from the East Factory, but more like a junior paying respects to his elders. This made Qin Liangyu feel warm in her heart, and Chang Yu's name "general" made her burst into tears. .
You must know that Qin Liangyu's official status at this time was only a second-grade imperial wife. She had no military rank or official position. She was only awarded the title of Governor Qianshi during the reign of Tianqi during the Chongming period. There was no official title during the Chongzhen period. After his death, he was named "Zhongzhenhou". "It was a posthumous gift from Emperor Nanming.
The so-called general is a title from descendants or among the people. For example, when she was fighting on the battlefield, the officials and generals of the imperial court all called her Qin Tusi, Lord Qin, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Ma. The title of general was almost unheard of. After all, in that era, the titles were all. Very rigorous.
But for Qin Liangyu, this call was the highest respect and honor. Over the past decades, the Ma family and the Qin family had been loyal to the court. At this time, the general daughter suddenly felt that everything was worth it!
Because the word "general" came from Chang Yu's mouth, he represented the imperial court. This was an affirmation of her personal honor and achievements.
There is no title that is more useful to Qin Liangyu than general.
She burst into tears and hurriedly helped Chang Yu: "My lord, you must not do this. How can I accept your bow?" As she spoke, she looked carefully at the young man in front of her. He had a strong face and a strong body without the femininity of a eunuch. The shape and color made me feel good.
"General Qin is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty and is respected by people all over the world. I have heard about General Qin for a long time and I just got to see him today. I am very lucky, very lucky." Chang Yu's face was sincere, and Qin Liangyu benefited a lot, thinking that this little eunuch is really like He is different, has a sweet mouth, and is sincere, so he is not a treacherous villain. The Ming Dynasty is very lucky to have such a talent.
"I am already about to die, how come I am so loved by Mr. Chang? I have long heard that there was a genius in the Ming Dynasty. I have been looking forward to meeting him for a long time. Today I am happy and I will die without regrets!" Qin Liangyu called him Lord Chang instead of father-in-law. This was a courtesy and he did not treat Chang Yu as a eunuch.
"General Qin's words are wrong. You have a strong body and can easily live a hundred years." Chang Yu helped Qin Liangyu and walked slowly to the military camp on the mountain. Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Old man, old man, this time On rainy days, all the bones in my body hurt..."
The two of them walked up the mountain side by side, whispering about their parents' filial piety, and everyone around them was amazed. Is this really the powerful eunuch of Dongchang? Looking at these two people, they are clearly the human fireworks of grandsons and filial piety to their grandmothers.
