In 1449, the peasant Huang Xiaoyang was imprisoned for committing a crime, and soon after, he escaped with an axe and organized a group of people to attack the city, targeting Guangzhou. When Emperor Ming Yingzong heard the news, he would send troops to the expedition. On the way, the Ming general thought: Is a group of rabble-rousers worth dealing with so carefully? So they drank wine and listened to songs on the boat, who knew that Huang Xiaoyang had already sent ships to fight against the river.
As a result, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army drowned in the water, and the deputy commander-in-chief Wang Qing was captured alive. Huang Xiaoyang had Wang Qing led by a rope to the city of Guangzhou and asked him to persuade the soldiers in the city to surrender. The generals in the city were furious and immediately set up a posture to scold Wang Qing. Huang Xiaoyang saw that the other party did not buy the traitor's account, so he changed places and let Wang Qing continue to shout at the city, and as a result, Wang Qing was shot by random arrows. Huang Xiaoyang ordered the capture of Guangzhou as soon as possible.
Guangzhou was in jeopardy, and a letter of chicken feathers was sent to Yingzong's hands. The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to take the task. At this time, a person stepped forward. Everyone's eyes lit up, but when they saw that it was the governor who volunteered to know Dong Xing, they were immediately discouraged -- Dong Xing's means were not spicy, it was difficult to unify his subordinates, it was okay to be a pioneer, if he really wanted to go, the result would be the same as Wang Qing. But Dong Xing insisted on going, and Yingzong had no choice but to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
The ministers sighed and thought that these soldiers were probably going to become ghosts of a foreign land. They even thought that it was estimated that dong xing would mutiny when he reached the halfway point. However, this army was strictly disciplined and the horn was shocking, because Dong Xing had the help of high-ranking people.
This tall man was called Ma Shi, who was once a down-and-out scholar, and when he was wandering in the capital, he met Dong Xing, and under the conversation, Dong Xing was shocked, and Ma Shi was actually a master of military management, so he respected him as a guest.
After the army set out, Dong Xing just held the commander-in-chief Dayin and lived idly, and all the matters of governing the army were handed over to Ma Shi. After Ma Shi announced the discipline in the army, some soldiers did not obey, he knew that Dong Xing was good at talking, and he only made a guarantee when he was arrested. But Ma Shi did not report dong xing, and directly dealt with him according to military law, and those arrogant soldiers no longer dared to do wrong.
Ma Shi is not only good at governing the army, but also good at planning, and is simply a half-immortal-like figure. Therefore, Dong Xing's commander-in-chief should be very relaxed--when something happens, TomaShi handles it; when there is a problem, ask MaShi for advice; when he wants to go out on a expedition, let Ma Shi plan. Someone advised Dong Xing not to trust Ma Shi too much, and secretly laughed at his lack of opinion. Dong Xing smiled and said that Ma Shi had the ability and should believe him.
The Ming army went all the way to Guangzhou, at this time it was 1450, Huang Xiaoyang's military strength indeed showed a geometric growth, "more than a thousand thieves, the momentum is very hot." On Dong Xing's side, the number of people is insufficient. Those Ming troops probably thought of Wang Qing's end, and they were all terrified and advised Dong Xing to hide temporarily and ask the imperial court for support.
Dong Xing listened, and nodded his head, but Ma Shi disagreed--it was obviously unrealistic for the imperial court to send troops, at this time, the change of Tumu Fort had just ended, and Ming Jingzong had just ascended the throne, not to mention that the emperor had no soldiers in his hands, even if there were soldiers, he could not send them, because the Walla army was attacking the capital with all its might. And the people in Guangzhou City were waiting for rescue with their necks outstretched, and if at this time they were to attack inside and outside with the brave and good soldiers of Guangxi, it would not be impossible to defeat the enemy.
Dong Xing listened, immediately agreed, launched an attack, and defeated Huang Xiaoyang's army, and Huang Xiaoyang also died of a middle arrow. A chaotic situation was settled, and Dong Xing was promoted to the position of Right Governor. Some people say that Dong Xing only has the courage of a puppet, and it is purely a fluke that he can build this feat. In fact, if he could discover a talent like Ma Shi and fully trust the other party, how could it not be a talent?
