In fact, Yizhangqing, because of her special status in the Tokyo Liaison Office, is able to say things that her husband is not comfortable with, go to places that her husband is not comfortable with, and do things that her husband is not comfortable with. In addition, she is warm-hearted, so she is known as everyone's "sister-in-law".
The fact that Commander Ma Gao was slightly superior to the other commanders in the Tokyo Garrison was probably due to this lady.
"Wulang!" Mrs. Ma was delighted to see Yue Fei, and she dismounted to meet him. "I haven't seen you for a year, right?"
Yue Fei hurriedly bowed again and said: "Sister-in-law, in fact, it's not a year. I left after the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year, and there is still a month left."
Seeing that he was still as honest as before, Madam Ma could not help but pull the reins and shake her head and smile: "No matter what, it's good to be back! You are from Hebei, why are you going to Jingdong to get involved with those Jingdong locals? Now Marshal Zong is in poor health, Du Dayin is about to be promoted, and you are Du Dayin's fellow villager, and you are also the pacification envoy... We are talking about it in the south, saying that you may be able to become a deputy governor or a commander this time!"
Yue Fei didn't care about these things when he heard this. Instead, he immediately became serious: "Sister-in-law, what do you think in the south? I heard that before the twelfth lunar month, ten commanders in the south actually swore brotherhood together. Do you have any plans? As an official army, you learned to swear brotherhood like bandits. If the news spread to the marshal, the magistrate, and the court in Nanyang, what would they think? And this time, magistrate Du received the imperial edict and specially summoned ten commanders to come together. Why are you the only one here?"
"We are all family, sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you." Yi Zhang Qing was straightforward, and he stepped forward and whispered. "It was Sang Zhong's idea to swear brotherhood before. The head of my family also thought it was not a good idea and did not agree at first, but later, seeing that Marshal Zong was in poor health and did not have any military orders, and the Jin army was fighting fiercely in the west of Beijing, it was difficult to make a slap, so he agreed and became the eldest brother. But in fact, it was just because the situation was so bad and there was no one to lead, everyone was afraid, so they swore an oath. According to Sang Zhong's words, it was just to prevent someone from breaking the rules and causing a fight, so they took precautions in advance! However, when the south heard that Du Dayin took over, they were still happy, after all, Du Dayin was from Hebei..."
Yue Fei frowned as he listened, but given the current situation, it was not a good idea to say anything more.
By the way, at this time last year, Yue Pengju might have directly believed Yizhangqing's words... In fact, he still believes it now, because he knows that Ma Gao and most of the Tokyo Garrison commanders who participated in the brotherhood are just more like gangsters. In the previous situation, nine out of ten times they were just trying to survive together and had no bad intentions.
Especially the Yizhangqing couple. The husband Ma Gao is older and has the demeanor of an elder, while Yizhangqing herself has little knowledge. She is just a passionate woman with extraordinary martial arts skills.
These two people cannot possibly have any ill intentions.
So what's the problem?
It was very simple. During the past year, Yue Fei had almost no free day in Jeju. He practiced martial arts, read books, trained soldiers and fought battles. However, he had different experiences than before. He knew clearly that the history books clearly recorded that the founding emperor of this dynasty was able to rise to power because of the help of his ten brothers in the Yishe Society, and finally he was crowned with the yellow robe.
At this time, these ten men have thousands of soldiers under their command and are in a time of national turmoil. What will the central government and Tokyo think when they come up with a sworn brotherhood?
Not only that, Sang Zhong, who started the commotion first, was no ordinary person... Sang Zhong was a junior colonel under Zhong Shidao, and like Li Qiong who stayed in Tokyo City, he was a knowledgeable man. He might be aware of this story, but if he knew it, and still did such a thing, what was his intention?
I should add here that Yue Fei's experience at this time was different from before. He had been the pacification envoy for more than half a year and had experienced so many things. When he looked at his former colleagues in the Tokyo Garrison, he could already roughly guess who was capable and who was incompetent, who could be used and who should be guarded against.
For example, if we only talk about their abilities, the six families of Li Qiong, Sang Zhong, Cao Cheng, Wang Shan, Zhang Yong, and Ma Gao and his wife are the best at fighting;
For example, if we only talk about reliable people, the Ma Gao couple, Zhang Yong, Liu Wenshun (Liu Heshang), Li Bao (Sick Guan Suo), and Li Qiong who was secretly at odds with Yue Fei were more reliable.
There were a few people who followed the crowd, including Li Hong, Ma You, Xu Yan and others;
Apart from these, Sang Zhong, Cao Cheng, Wang Shan and Zhang Yu who surrendered to the Jin people were either arrogant or dissatisfied with the internal system of the Song Dynasty. They often made inappropriate remarks and behaviors. It was just that Zong Ze was a little bit skillful, which meant that they were a little inappropriate. When Zong Ze fell ill this time, he should have been on guard.
However, despite this, the Jin people's southward march has stirred up a mess, and everyone has already had their own circumstances and performances due to their situations and positions:
When Zhang Yifeng encountered the main force of the Jin army, he simply surrendered to the Jin army;
Wang Shan, who usually said "the world is in chaos, the rich and the poor will be re-determined", had nothing to say because he and Han Shizhong were stationed in the same city. He was more reliable than anyone else.
Li Qiong was from Xiangzhou, a scholar, good at both civil and military affairs, and friendly to others. He just came late and had only been a commander before. But under the pressure of the overall situation, he happened to stay in Dongjing City and met his fellow villager Du Qiong who was promoted to a position, so he was immediately promoted to commander, taking charge of the remaining forces of the Dongjing garrison in the city, and became the second most powerful general in Dongjing City after Yue Fei... But for some reason, after becoming the commander, Li Qiong, who had always been kind to others, showed some resentment towards Yue Fei;
As for Zhang Yong, he was a reliable general, but he was stationed in Yanling, which was close to the front line. Facing Wang Sheng, a general under Han Shizhong, who repeatedly asked him to attack and save Han Shizhong, he was quite dissatisfied. Instead, he simply abandoned the city and retreated to Fugou behind him.
