In addition to Ma Dong of the Ma Jiajun who was recommended by Gao pragmatically to serve as General Haigai, Ma Chengen, one of the next generation of young generals of the Ma Jiajun, was also recruited by him to replace Li Rugui as the commander of the Fuzhou Guard.
Ma Chengen was the son of Ma Fu who died of a sudden illness due to the armor-removing wind, and he was also Ma Fu's only son (there is another theory that Ma Chengen was adopted by Ma Jin's son to Ma Fu.)
In fact, there are many generals among the descendants of the Ma family, and their status is not low. Among them, Ma Chengxun, the son of Ma Jin, Ma Chengen, the son of Ma Fu, and Ma Chengzhao, Ma Chengxun, Ma Chengzong, and Ma Chengxun, the sons of Ma Gui, are all figures recorded in history books.
Official Ma Chengxun went to the left governor of Nanjing; officer Ma Chengen went to the chief military officer of Xuanfu and the governor's Tongzhi.
As for the fourth son of Magui, he accepted the imperial edict and served as the commander of the Xixia Road, and finally became the king; Chengxun served as the deputy general of Jidong, but died in office; Chengzong served as the guerrilla in Gaoping, Liaodong; Chengxuan served as the deputy general of Gushan, Shaanxi. Not bad at it either.
As for the next generation, most of them were still generals, but by that time the Ming Dynasty was already declining, and the records were very sporadic.
Now, because of Gao Pragmatic's leadership in the Monan War, Ma Gui was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief one step ahead of schedule. Ma Chengxun, who participated in this battle, became the Deputy Chief Soldier much earlier. Now the Ma family is also excited. Abnormal, I really want to make special achievements again and compete with "Dongli" to see which one is stronger.
Gao Pragmatic still appreciated this kind of healthy competition, so this time he asked Ma Chengen over.
Why not Ma Gui’s son? Because Ma Gui was originally the youngest son of Ma Lu in his old age, and now his eldest son Ma Chengzhao is only in his teens. It is hard to say whether he can ride a horse or not. It is obviously not yet time for him to use it.
What Ma Dong and Ma Chengen filled were the vacancies vacated by Li Chengliang, and the Dongchang Fort Preparatory Defense on top of Zhang Wanbang was the "vacancy" that Gao Pragmatic came directly to.
Because Dongchang Fort is an important place, very important. It is not only the upstream fortress controlled by the Ming army in the Liaohe River section of Yingkou Port, but also the first fortress in the north of Duoyan Chaohua Department in the front. It is also the intermediate station connecting western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning.
The current Dongchang Fort Beiyu is a veteran in his fifties. Not only has Gao Pingshi not even heard his name, but when he summoned him during his last inspection of Yingkou, he found that he was seriously ill and seemed to have some problems with his legs and feet.
Therefore, Gao Jingshi simply told him directly that he should come to Yingkou to take charge of the defense of this important port, so as to avoid him facing the direct threat from the Duoyan Chaohua Department.
The veteran named Zhao Shan was easy to talk to, and when Gao Pragmatic mentioned it, he immediately agreed.
In fact, speaking of it, Gao Pragmatic's arrangement itself gave the veteran a lot of face. The importance of Yingkou Port has now been undoubtedly revealed. In the future, due to the relationship with the Jinghua Salt Farm, his status will only be higher, and he is almost sixty years old. It's not easy for a veteran to be able to retreat from the first line to the second line without any problems, but he can actually be transferred to a lucrative position. How can it not be an unexpected surprise?
Ma Dong, Ma Chengen and Zhang Wanbang were naturally overjoyed when the next-generation party leader who was the default leader of the Practical School personally summoned them. After receiving the news, they immediately set off for Liaodong with their family members and any of their servants.
However, because Ma Dong had been transferred to Shaanxi before and the journey was far away, he must have arrived last. Ma Chengen and Zhang Wanbang, since they were both in northern Shanxi, simply joined forces and arrived at the same time.
Gao Pingshi held a banquet at the Bingxian Yamen to welcome the two of them, which moved the two "juniors" deeply.
In fact, it is true that Ma Chengen is a junior, but Zhang Wanbang is hard to say. When he met Gao Jingshi, Gao Jingshi was the prince's companion, and he was only in his teens.
It's just that because both of them have fathers and high pragmatic peers, they can only take the initiative to be the younger generation in front of Gao pragmatism and call themselves juniors.
Zhang Wanbang joined the army very early, and he has been very smart since he was a child. His father, Zhang Bingzhong, has always felt that his son will definitely be better than him in the future, and he has a good temper, so he is somewhat indulgent to him. So much so that when he first met Gao Pragmatic, he even dared to trick the Gao family's cavalry and let them do dangerous tasks.
Later, after he learned that Gao pragmatic won the top prize in six songs, he became more convinced of Gao pragmatic. Later, Gao Wushi staged a "partial force to settle Annan" in Guangxi, and Zhang Wanbang was truly convinced.
During this expedition to Monan, Zhang Wanbang and his son relied on the Wanli style provided by Jinghua, and the drills and tactics jointly developed by Gao Pragmatic and Qi Jiguang. After fighting Xin Ai for his own fame, Zhang Wanbang's attitude towards Gao Pragmatic He directly upgraded from being convinced to surrendering to the ground.
Therefore, Zhang Wanbang was extremely excited to serve under Gao Jingshi again, and even had an inexplicable urge to fight.
After less than a while of the banquet, Zhang Wanbang couldn't help but be excited. He raised his hands to Gao Pragmatic and asked, "Enxian, you have called me here this time, but you want to send troops from Dongchang Fort to destroy the fried flowers in one fell swoop and regain the Liaohe River." Hetao? If so, I would like to be the vanguard. If I fail to win the first battle, I would like to come and see you!"
Gao Pragmatic was startled for a moment, then laughed, pointed at him and cursed: "I thought you were a militant more than ten years ago. I thought that after all these years, your temper would be more stable, but who would have expected It's still exactly the same as before... Who said I wanted to go out to Dongchang Fort to hunt for stir-fries?"
Zhang Wanbang was stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly said: "If we don't play tricks, Enxian will transfer several of our Xuanda generals to Liaodong..."
Gao Pangshi was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said to himself: Hey, this guy is not just seeking war. It seems that he has analyzed the situation in Liaodong.
Gao pragmatic glanced at Ma Chengen who was calm next to him again, his heart moved, and he asked Ma Chengen, "What do you think of Chengen?"
Ma Chengen immediately stood up, bowed his hands and said: "Ma family Mu En has been under Bingxian's family for a long time. Chengen came here and got advice from his uncles. You can't have an opinion first in everything. You must listen to Master Bingxian's instructions and then do your best. It’s all about achieving the military commander’s wishes, so Cheng’en has nothing to think about for the time being.”
Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised that he added "adult" after the word "military constitution" to his name, because at this time there was no custom of calling people "adult" casually. The "adult" here was meant to refer to elders, which meant that he acknowledged younger generation.
Of course, Gao Jingshi had been friends with Ma Gui for a long time. There was no problem with Ma Chengen claiming to be a junior, but after all, Ma Chengen was seven or eight years older than him. It was still a bit awkward to admit himself to be a junior so decisively. Amazing... This shows that children without fathers become sensible early!
Since you consider yourself a junior, as an elder you naturally have to take care of me, right?
Gao pragmatic looked at him and suddenly understood him: maybe in his opinion, the key to Ma Chengxun's success in the Monan War was that Ma Jin was in power, and Ma Chengxun had more opportunities. Although brothers Ma Jin and Ma Gui took great care of his nephew, after all, their uncles and uncles were still not as good as their biological fathers. No matter how much they took care of them, the court would actually prefer their own sons, so... …His opportunities need to be fought for by himself.
Now, a great opportunity was in front of him, and unlike Zhang Wanbang, who had known Gao Pragmatic more than ten years ago, he naturally had to have a more correct attitude in order to win more reuse.
That's what it means to be sensible.
Gao pragmatic nodded, pondered slightly, and said: "The soldiers will definitely move, but not yet. First, we need to make some arrangements for government affairs, and we must prepare weapons and food in advance; secondly... the troops and horses in southern Liaoning." , I'm afraid I can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility. Although you two have brought some servants, they are probably only a few hundred, which is definitely not enough. So now you two and even Ma Chongzhai (Ma Dong) have the task of , not to fight, but to train Liaonan’s soldiers according to my arrangements first.”
Ma Chengen and Zhang Wanbang looked at each other and handed over their hands at the same time: "You must do your best for your humble position!"
