Kaifeng City.

After hearing the will issued by Chongzhen, Yu Zhenlong, Liu Zhaolin and others were all unhappy. They found Ma Mingfeng and hoped to write a letter to Chongzhen in a joint letter, hoping that Chongzhen could reward meritorious ministers and not to let down the hearts of all the soldiers.

Ma Mingfeng held the idle people away and smiled faintly at these trusted soldiers, saying, "We killed the enemy to protect the people, not to make meritorious and rewarded. Chongzhen's unfairness has not been once or twice. I have been accustomed to it. Besides, what we are loyal to is not a single person, but the country founded by Master Hongwu, but the whole world. What's more, my position is not good if I have a high position. With the current Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to defeat the thieves.

To defeat the Jin people, we need to slowly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. If we let our governors from all provinces, once we defeat the thieves and thieves, we will be sent to the Songjin battlefield next. I am not afraid. However, if my strength is not prepared enough, I can only ruin the lives of soldiers innocently. It is not only useless, but also harmful. Now I am still a governor, and Wang Qiaonian cannot defeat the thieves at all. Isn’t this a good ending?"

After hearing this, Yu Zhenlong and others had nothing to say, but after a while, they saw Liu Zhaolin saying, "This Huang Shu is really not a person. He actually secretly reported to the emperor, sir, as long as you have a word, my subordinates will go and kill him immediately, so that he will never have a chance to speak again."

Ma Mingfeng shook his head and said, "This is just a jumping clown. Why do you have to sue yourself for him? In my heart, even a hundred Huang Shu is not as good as Brother Liu. In fact, to some extent, we should thank him. If it weren't for him, I would probably really become a governor or supervisor now. It sounds like a glorious person. In fact, the soldiers who can command are only these people, and they have to bear the heavy responsibility of destroying the Chuangjun. But in fact, we are just relying on the advantage of defending the city to defeat the Chuangjun. If we want to defeat the other party in the field, we still need to constantly accumulate strength, but Chongzhen doesn't care about these things. He will only constantly urge you to send troops. This result can only be our final defeat, either being killed by the thief or being killed by Chongzhen."

Yu Zhenlong and others could not help but nodded after hearing this. They felt that what Ma Mingfeng said was not unreasonable. Others were desperately trying to climb up. The bigger the official position, the bigger the responsibility, but they didn't know that the bigger the official position, the greater the responsibility. Bosses like Chongzhen who are unwilling to take any responsibility and are only willing to enjoy the results of victory are really not easy to hang out with him. Maybe they will be very popular today and become prisoners tomorrow, and the ghost under the knife.

Since this is the case, it is better to just become a city guard, which can do some practical things for the people and the Ming Dynasty, and will not be in danger of life.

Yu Zhenlong and others felt that Ma Mingfeng was a smart person, but they also admired Ma Mingfeng's calmness and being able to stay awake in the face of great fame and fortune. This is really not something that anyone can do. Even some famous historical officials may not be easy to do this.

"Sir, please forgive me for asking questions that shouldn't be asked. How long should we endure it?" Zhang Daxiong, the leader of Minzhuang Camp, couldn't help but ask.

This is one of the seven personal soldiers who followed Han Daoba and assassinated him. The seven personal soldiers, including him, have now completely returned to their hearts and are only loyal to Ma Mingfeng, but his position is not that high, so he doesn't understand what Ma Mingfeng is planning, so he asked this question.

Ma Mingfeng said lightly: "Wait until the Ming Dynasty has changed a new master."

As soon as Ma Mingfeng said this, all the confidants around him changed their expressions because they were really a bit rebellious. However, on the other hand, Ma Mingfeng said it was not unreasonable. With Chongzhen's personality, no matter how good the general and how powerful the army were, they would have to lose the Ming Dynasty in the end.

Seeing that all the confidants' faces changed drastically, Ma Mingfeng did not react at all, and said calmly after a moment: "But no matter what, if we want to avoid war, we have only one way, that is, all the forces in China will unite and fight against the Jurchens with all their strength. Even the soldiers of the peasant army try to recruit surrender as much as possible. Of course, it is still a bit far away to say this now, because we are not yet able to recruit those people. Since this is the case, we only have two things to do, one is to try our best to strengthen ourselves, and the other is to weaken the power of the peasant army as much as possible."

After hearing Ma Mingfeng's words, these people were all in deep thought. They could understand Ma Mingfeng's ideas, but they didn't understand what Ma Mingfeng had to do to make the current situation develop in the direction he designed.

Someone tried to ask such a question, but Ma Mingfeng did not answer, but said mysteriously: "No need for me to design, so naturally someone will do it according to my design."

Then Ma Mingfeng stopped talking, he just ordered these people to train their troops and make every effort to prepare for war. He also wanted to prepare for long-term combat.

"I expect that the thieves will definitely find ways to attack other prefectures, prefectures and counties in the future. On the one hand, they will attract our army to support us. They can take the opportunity to attack our forces through field battles, and on the other hand, they also want to take the opportunity to plunder various materials to supplement military use. Third, they also want to make Kaifeng completely an isolated city, so we must deal with it."

"I wonder what kind of solutions are there for you?" After hearing Ma Mingfeng's words, Yu Zhenlong and others asked with confusion on their faces.

But Ma Mingfeng said lightly: "In order to avoid the benefit of the riots, we need to implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. I will order the people in Henan to move nearby to Fengyang, Luling, Anqing, and even the Daming and Ningde of Shuntian Prefecture. In fact, most of the rich people from all over the country have moved to Kaifeng, and many ordinary people have also come, but we cannot let them come in, because if these people come in, just eating and drinking is a big problem. It would be fine if it was normal, but once it was wartime, it would be quite fatal. Therefore, I decided to turn Kaifeng into Ningyuan City in the northeast, which is just a military important place to restrain and defend the riots' forces. When the riots leave Henan, they will move the people back."
