Chapter 432 The change of dynasties between entering and exiting
Ma Liang walked very freely.
In the eyes of many people, this kid doesn’t feel bad selling his land.
The family business that Ma Dacheng worked hard for decades in Yangguan was directly given to the Beiting Protectorate.
Everyone thinks that Ma Liang can wait for a price and sell himself at a better price.
Because the location of Yangguan is really important.
But now, after an order from the Beiting Protectorate, Ma Liang handed over the command here to Gu Xiaoman without saying a word, and he only took five thousand cavalry out to fight outside the customs.
Ma's confidants and generals were extremely incomprehensible.
The essence of Yangguan troops is not the cavalry!
They are heavy infantry, light infantry who are good at defending cities.
These people have accumulated and passed down from generation to generation over decades.
Although Ma Liang's generation began to attach great importance to cavalry, it was only five or six years since Ma Liang started training cavalry.
The cavalry of Yangguan and the infantry of Yangguan are not at the same level at all.
Now, all these infantry are handed over to Gu Xiaoman.
"Everyone, no matter how good Yangguan is, the area it can govern after all is only a hundred or so miles in radius. If you really want to talk about the effective jurisdiction area, it is even smaller!" At the farewell banquet, Ma Liang raised his He stood up and looked at his uncles, uncles and even his grandparents who were sitting around him.
"I know that everyone has invested a lot in this land. They have land, manors, businesses, and connections. But, they are just a small landowner in this small area of several dozen miles. I have been out, and I have seen In the outside world, I see those people from the Beiting Protectorate, dancing on a stage that is much higher and bigger than us. They are creating a world that belongs to them!"
" Some people think that we can wait for the price. But if we wait for the price, how can we join earlier? This is like doing business. The original shareholders will naturally have greater interests and have more decision-making power. Others think of joining after they make a fortune in business. They may still be able to share the profits, but will they still have status? "
An old man with white hair and beard stood up and said, "Xiao Liang, We are not opposed to your decision, but we feel that it is too early, and Beiting is not guaranteed to win. Besides, soldiers are the foundation of a life. It will be easy for you to hand over all our most elite infantry. It will be difficult to take it back!"
"Grandpa Tong, you have walked more bridges than I have, and you have eaten more salt than I have eaten!" Ma Liang said with a smile: "But this time! , please support my decision, just like you supported me in obtaining the command of Yangguan from my father three years ago. In the past, I relied on Li Dachui to gain wealth and make everyone make a lot of money. , In the future, I will continue to rely on him because I want to earn a wife, a wife, and a chancellor."
"We don't have such big ambitions!" The old man named Tong smiled and shook his head. He shook his head and sat down.
"You have stayed in Yangguan all your life, and Uncle Tong has stayed here all his life, but do you want Tong Zhen to stay in Yangguan all his life and be a small landowner and a junior captain? After taking this step, we will be like the dragon in the future. As a founding father, the wealth of several generations is guaranteed," Ma Liang said with a smile.
"General, are you so sure that Li Dachui will win?"
"Perhaps Yingzhuo? They were all thought to be dead by Li Dachui. Tie Le, everyone will wait and see. , will also be counted dead by Li Dachui. They asked me to lead the troops this time, not to be a pawn, but to give me credit for my achievements." Ma Liang smiled and said authentically: "This can be regarded as a reward for leading Yangguan to surrender. With the foundation of their contribution to destroying the Yuan, even if we don’t make any more contributions after entering the customs, it will be enough for everyone to become wealthy.”
Some people are suddenly enlightened, and of course there are others. Confused.
Ma Liang drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, picked up the wine jar, poured another full bowl, looked at everyone and said: "You are all veteran generals, veterans. From now on, you will no longer be Ma Jiajun. You are the army of the Beiting Protectorate. I am here to say something ugly. After drinking this bowl of wine, from now on I, Ma Liang, will be just a colleague with you. If you violate military discipline and military law, I will not be able to do anything for you. I can only plead for Ding, Ding and Mao. Please forgive me, uncles and grandfathers!”
He picked up the wine bowl, raised it above his head, and bowed together. Everyone in the hall stood up, with sad looks on their faces.
“Do it!” Ma Liang straightened up and shouted.
I raised my neck and drank every drop of the wine in the bowl again. I turned around and put the bowl on the wine table and said loudly: "I'd like to invite General Gu!"
In the Hall Outside, Gu Xiaoman entered steadily.
Ma Liang strode outward.
The two faced each other, Ma Liang cupped his hands and said: "General Gu, although he no longer has any subordinate relationship with the generals sitting here, but the friendship is still there, please General Gu!"
Gu Xiaoman raised his hand and returned the gift: "Your relatives are naturally my relatives, and the relatives of the entire Beiting Protectorate. Gu Xiaoman vows to treat everyone equally. If you violate this oath, you will die without a burial place!"
Ma Liang Yi bowed his arms to the ground, stood up and strode out, never looking back again.
All the generals in the hall bowed to say goodbye to Ma Liang, turned around, looked at Gu Xiaoman, who was standing upright, and bowed again: "I have seen General Gu!"
< br>
Before this entry and exit, Yangguan completely completed the city and changed its dynasty.
From now on, Yangguan is truly in the hands of the Beiting Protectorate.
As for Yangguan, with Gu Xiaoman's arrival, the strings began to tighten.
In the past, when Ma Liang was in power, even if he made a mistake, he would see everyone's years of friendship turn big things into trivial matters. But now it's completely different.
The Beiting Protectorate is famous for its strict military discipline.
Even if they were in Yangguan, they had heard about it.
For example, taking short quotas in the army, making profit margins, exchanging new grain for old grain, charging bad money with good money, etc. These are absolutely not allowed to happen.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaoman is also a reasonable person. On the night when he handed over to Ma Liang, he made it clear in front of everyone that if there was anything shady, he would give everyone ten days. time to process. If it is handled within ten days, it means nothing happened. If the matter is not dealt with within ten days, and if there is another thunderstorm later, then you will have to comply with the law.
On this point, everyone thinks that Gu Xiaoman is also reasonable.
And now Yangguan's strength has increased a lot compared to before.
At least the 10,000 cavalry brought by Gu Xiaoman, not to mention the infantry, this cavalry, the serious cavalry outside the Pass, was built with Xiao Changche's personal soldiers and Li Dachui's Tianziying cavalry as the backbone.
Now that everyone has made their choice, they naturally hope that their own strength will be as strong as possible.
