However, Ma Gui is different from Li Chengliang. All the generals under his command have halberds and halberds, and they will be handed down from generation to generation.

Emperor Wanli praised Ma Gui as "a famous general of the first generation", but after removing Li Chengliang, he resisted all opinions and appointed Ma Gui as the deputy general of Liaodong to garrison Taining Guard.

Before Magui took office, Neikalkha did not have the power it has today.

Its lord, Hulahachi, is the father of the five lords of Neikarka and the grandson of Dayan Khan. He led the tribes to live in the outer Hetao area of ​​Liaodong, and the initial number of people was less than a thousand.

Later, Huada, the leader of Tainingwei and Mongolia, married Hulahachi, and the two sides joined forces, and their power increased sharply, which gradually led to dissatisfaction.

From the 25th to the 43rd year of Jiajing, Hulahachi and Hua Dawei tested the Ming court and led the Neikha tribe to Liaoyang, Shenyang, Kaiyuan, Tieling and other places.

The Wanli court had three major conquests successively. At that time, the whole country was engaged in the war with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and had no time to take care of Liaodong.

Hulahachi led his five sons, Wubasai, Subahai, Wuban, Dabu, and Chaohua, the current lords of the five major tribes of Neikalkha. The power was strong for a while.

After the death of Hulahachi, Neikalkha split into a situation where the five major ministries dominated and the smaller ministries surrendered.

Its five sons who are good at fighting are also divided into various divisions, including Sai, Subahai, Wuban, Dabu, and Chaohua, and four of them are against Ming Tingyang.

Only the eldest son was able to change his father's hostile attitude towards Daming.

After taking Sei to the headquarters, he can be said to be submissive, and even this time Nurhachi's letter calling him to join Horqin in attacking Fuyuwei was ignored.

Nurhachi was extremely angry, saying that after the Fuyuwei Mongolians were wiped out, the next one would annex the Basai tribe, one of Neikalkha.

In the 38th year of Wanli, the famous general Magui guarded Taining.

Chao Hua doesn't know the generalities like his elder brother Ba Sai, after he took over the headquarters, he has done more than his father, if not worse.

When Magui took office, the Department of Fried Flowers of Tainingwei Mongolia became increasingly rampant.

Chaohua has nine sons, all of whom are in charge of the tribe. Before Magui took office, the previous Taining border generals just blindly increased the annual rewards to appease the crowd and avoid trouble.

When Magui took office, the first thing Chaohua did was to ask for a high reward.

In the 39th year of Wanli, Ma Gui's repeated acts of debauchery and looting of the people, finally couldn't bear it, and decided to attack the department of frying flowers.

At first, Ma Gui, like the previous generals, said that he wanted to increase the annual reward of the Taining Chaohua Department, but he proposed that Chaohua lead his troops to receive the reward by the old river in Taining.

Chaohua is extremely arrogant, just like the sky, he doesn't pay attention to the generals of the Ming Dynasty at all, and when he receives the news, he personally leads the people to come to ask for rewards.

Ma Gui held a banquet during the day and offered a large number of rewards, but ordered people to raid at night and smashed the Chaohua Department in Laohe, killing 34 leaders of the Chaohua Department.

Since then, Taining Chaohua has moved westward and has been in a slump.

Chaohua's third son, Sete, was unwilling to submit to the Ming court, and ridiculed the elder Chaohua for not being as brave as before.

Ma Gui had expected it a long time ago, and took the initiative to attack Sete when Seite was unknown, and smashed Sete, and many of Ma's children made contributions.

After this battle, Sete moved west again, but he still refused to accept it. He kept in touch, trying to get revenge, and even ignored Chaohua's advice not to cause trouble.

Se Texiu and Fuyuwei led the domination game, and the Tainingwei lord Yier Deng tried to break through the border defense with the help of Fuyuwei and Tainingwei's Mongolian forces.

But both Zai Sai and Yier Deng are not fools, and they also know that Ma Gui is not easy to provoke, so they both refused with words.

Yi'er Deng saw that Ma Gui used his troops like a god, so he didn't dare to commit crimes, and he didn't do anything wrong, but Zaisai had his heart on Daming, and directly wrote a book about Se Te to Ma Gui.

Therefore, Magui knew in advance that Sete was going to attack Qinghe, so he raised his tent and called all the generals to discuss the strategy of battle, and joined forces with the frontier towns to make a large-scale attack and set up an ambush along the Qinghe River.

Sure enough, later, Sete colluded with the Harahan Naiman coalition forces to invade Qinghe, and was defeated by a surprise attack by the Ming army led by Magui, and the army was defeated.

With this battle, Ma Gui became famous in the border areas of Taining. The current Taining guard general, Ma Chengzhi, the deputy commander of Liaodong, participated in the battle of Qinghe.

Later, Chaohua came to the door in person and begged Yier Deng, the Mongolian leader of Taining, to go to Magui on his behalf and ask the Ming court for peace.

Emperor Wanli did not form an alliance with Chaohua. He rejected Chaohua's request for tribute as the emperor, but only severely warned him not to do it again.

Intimidated by Ma's military power, Chaohua did not commit any crimes after that.

Later, when Magui was old and sent soldiers, Shangshu asked to resign and go back.

Ma Chengzhi, the newly appointed deputy commander of Liaodong, was very alert to Chaohua, but found that Chaohua had always obeyed his words and dared not have the slightest dissatisfaction.

Chao Hua had been shattered by Ma Gui long ago. As Ma Gui's successor, the Ma family army led by Ma Chengzhi also terrified him.

In the 47th year of Wanli, Chaohua died in fear and worry. Fearing that his third son, Sete, would continue to disobey the Ming Dynasty after his death and bring disaster to the tribe, he summoned the elders for advice.

Chao Hua thought about it again and again, but she still couldn't bear it.

He did not follow the opinions of the elders of the tribe to exterminate relatives righteously and killed Sete, but he also made a will, making the fifth son Nalin continue to lead the Chaohua Department.

After Chao Hua's death, Se Te was really dissatisfied. Although Nalin surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he was indecisive and did not arrest Se Te in time.

After Seth escaped, he united with the rest of his brothers who were dissatisfied with Nalin, launched a civil strife, defeated and killed his younger brother Nalin himself.

Later, Seite killed the tribal elder who suggested killing him, and the other brothers, and he led the tribe alone.

Due to the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen, he began to gradually move closer to Houjin intentionally, and continued to defy Ming Chaoyang until he received Nurhaci's order to unite with Horqin.

For Seite, his enmity with the Ma family is already endless. No matter how many times he is defeated, he will never truly submit to the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, Sete couldn't wish more for this alliance with Horqin and Houjin, and he was the most caring one among the four elders of Neikalkha.

Chapter 342 Xifu Ministries, South Korea

Early spring is a season of revival.

The grasslands in Tainingwei are full of cattle and sheep, and the melons and fruits are fragrant. The herdsmen of various Mongolian tribes have smiles on their faces, and their busy figures appear and disappear under the white clouds and blue sky. There is a scene of peace and tranquility everywhere.

However, on the bank of the old river, the camps of the Ming army lined up densely, adding a chilling atmosphere to the scene.

Many people don't know that a large-scale war is approaching them step by step.

"Report..."

"Reporting to the supervisor, the enemy camps in Taizhou are densely packed, with battle flags everywhere, and all the tribes of Taining, Wei and Mongolia gathered together, as if facing a big enemy!"

The Taizhou Institute is the central hinterland of Taining Guard. The only way for the army to support Fuyu Guard this time, the attitude of Taining Guard Mongolia determines whether it can go north smoothly.

In the hall, Zhu Xieyuan listened to the informant, waved his hand to signal to go down, then smiled and looked at Yier Deng, the lord of Tainingwei Mongol who was a bit cramped.

Yier Deng tried his best to prove himself, saying:

"...Supervisor, my people heard that the soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty were coming, and they were all panicked. We gathered all the people together to protect ourselves."

After he finished speaking, Zhu Xieyuan smiled slightly, waved and said:

"There is no need to explain. This governor is not that unreasonable person. He naturally understands the consequences once the five coalition forces come to Taining."

Hearing this, Yier Deng was a little relieved, but he didn't understand what the supervisor was up to.

With the bitterness of the Battle of Salhu, the supervisor this time should be a person with real talent. Seeing that the commanders of the seven towns were subdued by him, it should be unusual.

Before Zhu Xieyuan came, he knew that Yier Deng, the Mongol lord of Tainingwei, had also done things like obedience and injustice in the past.

After the Battle of Sarhu, the worship to the imperial court was obviously not as good as before. It was only because of Magui Yuwei that he did not rebel with Nurhachi just now.

He clearly understands that Yier Deng is just a weed.

But the main purpose of the army going here is to help Fuyuwei and solve the Fuyuwei war by surprise. There are still Duoyan tribes with unclear attitudes in front of Tainingwei, so it is natural to appease them.

Wait until this battle is won, then talk about other things.

"Don't be nervous. The people of Jianzhou are still in the dark when the army is leaving. Even if they know it now, it will be too late. I estimate that Fuyuwei will not fall in a while."

Zhu Xieyuan said, looking at Yier Deng.

Seeing the latter's complexion flickering, he knew that the wooing was not enough. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Yi'er Deng, you are the commander of the Taining Guard who is inherited from my Ming Dynasty. You have to work hard without credit."

"For this battle, Duoyan's tribes have already surrendered, and the governor still needs to rely heavily on Fuyuwei..."

Yier Deng was a little surprised.

Duoyan's tribes have already belonged to Daming, why didn't he know?

If Duoyan's tribes belong to Daming, he must not act rashly again, the power of Duoyan's tribes is far stronger than that of Taining's tribes.

"The governor now has something to entrust to the commander. After this battle is over, the governor will ask the Holy Majesty for credit for the Taining ministries."

"Please tell me, the supervisor, all the tribes in Taining will do their best!"

Yi'er Deng quickly bowed his head and was quick to agree.

"Fuyuwei battle, do you know what His Majesty is thinking?"

Zhu Xieyuan looked at Yier Deng, saw him kneeling on the ground, unable to see his expression clearly, so he said to himself:

"The Jianzhou people have been lying for a long time. In the battle of Sarhu, our army was too careless to underestimate the enemy. This time, we summoned 20 elite troops from Jiubian and Jifu to go out. Not only to support Fuyuwei, but also to recover Liaodong."

"You have heard that His Majesty personally conquered the Southwest. In that battle, there were nearly a million rebellious troops in the Southwest, all of which were put down by our dynasty. Now that the army is triumphant, the establishment of slaves will inevitably be defeated."

"This time, it's your opportunity for Tainingwei to perform."

Yier Deng had indeed heard about the great victory in the Southwest. This was all thanks to the propaganda of the factory guards and the "Beijing News" at that time. He hurriedly kowtowed and said:

"Supervisor, my son Deng's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

"Okay, bring it up!"

Zhu Xieyuan nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.

Soon, several soldiers brought up several large wooden boxes, opened them and saw that they were full of shining silver. Yier Deng was stunned and stammered:

"This... the supervisor wants to..."

"These are rewards from the imperial court."

Zhu Xieyuan leaned on the seat, looked at him and said:

"The governor ordered you to gather the troops of the Taining tribes and attack the four camps of Neikalkha. As for the Duoyan tribes in front, there are other arrangements."

Yier Deng didn't dare to hesitate, bowed and said:

"Yi'er Deng is willing to use this battle to prove the loyalty of the Taining tribes to His Majesty and their submission to the Celestial Dynasty. The supervisor can rest assured!"

With the 20 taels of silver, even if Yier Deng wanted to resign from the alliance, his subordinates would be tired of fighting to buy themselves time.

Some money has to be spent.

This battle has a far-reaching impact, and it is worth spending some money. As long as you can win, the 20 taels will be worth the money.

After Yi'er Deng went down, Wang Wei, the chief soldier of Jizhou, spoke, and said in a low voice from the side:

"Master, the general will not believe him!"

Jiang Bi, the commander-in-chief of Yulin, also said:

"Yeah, Ma Shuai should be the most familiar with his situation."

After speaking, he looked at Ma Chengzhi.

The latter nodded, stood up and said:

"Master, Yier Deng is not trustworthy!"

"The general found out that he has been in contact with Nurhachi and Lindan Batur, and his subordinates often do illegal things, and there are frictions with the general's subordinates in the border trade."

"This time I summoned the troops to the Taizhou Institute in advance, maybe I have no good intentions!"

Zhu Xieyuan watched the discussions among the generals below, and sighed, "This governor doesn't believe Yier Deng either, but now there is no other way but to stabilize him."

"Wang Wei."

"The end is here!"

"Send people to Duoyan's tribes quickly, bring 30 taels of silver as a consolation, and tell them to attack Horqin's garrison."

"As long as one person goes, it will be beneficial to our army."

Wang Wei nodded and went down to make arrangements.

After he left, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Jiang Bi and the others, and said:

"Advance the whole army, ask the soldiers to cheer up, pass under the city of Taizhou, go straight to Duoyan, also called the Mongols in Taining to see the heroic appearance of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty!"

Everyone looked at each other and had to obey.

Zhu Xieyuan knew that this time the imperial court was almost desperate to save Fuyuwei, and for the Duoyan and Taining tribes along the way, they could only appease them.

If they fight all the way up, not to mention the waste of troops, and their whereabouts will be exposed early.

……

On Zhu Xieyuan's side, when he rushed to Fuyuwei at full speed, the area around Liaoyang was also covered in clouds of war, and Xiong Tingbi raised his account to call the generals to discuss.

With a map hanging behind him, he stood on the stage, got up and said:
