Seeing that Li Dingguo, one of the leaders of the Western Army, was willing to return to his heart, Du Yinxi was quite pleased, he raised his wine glass and said: "The general is really righteous, and General Du Moujing and everyone present have a glass." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Wait!"

Sun Kewang, who had been drinking wine and never spoken, suddenly said in a sullen voice: "That's just the second brother's idea, and my old grandson didn't say yes." ”

Sun Kewang's words immediately made the scene embarrassing.

Li Dingguo glanced at Sun Kewang frequently, Sun Kewang was unmoved, seeing that the scene was getting more and more embarrassing, Li Dingguo suddenly smiled heartily and said, "Big brother is drunk, don't mind blocking the father." ”

"Where, where is it, General Sun is quick to speak, and he admires him." Du Yinxi also laughed, slightly hiding the embarrassment in his heart.

Li Dingguo said: "Blocking the public thousands of miles into Guizhou, all the way to the saddle horse, I must be tired, if you don't give up, please go to the back hall to rest overnight, and it's not too late to talk about the matter tomorrow." ”

Du Yinxi also knew that this matter was urgent, and he needed to give them a little time to discuss, so he nodded and said, "So there is General Lao." ”

After arranging for Yin Xi to rest in the back hall, Li Dingguo returned to the main hall and dissuaded Sun Kewangdao; "Big brother, my father-in-law and King Chuang have worked hard for more than 20 years, ravaged all over the world, died and had no land, and it is really sad that the East Captives enjoy the benefits of fishermen.

We were originally subjects of the Ming Dynasty, but we were forced to rebel. Now that China has fallen to foreign invaders, it is necessary to strictly distinguish the boundaries of Huayi and put China first. As long as you return to the Ming room, sincerely assist, resist together, restore China, and sweep the Qing Sea, you will be a thief for half your life, and you will be famous in history in the future. Big brother, think twice! ”

"Second brother, these are nonsense, people in one life, only seek power and wealth, everything is empty after death, what's the use of being famous in history?" Sun Kewang sneered, and said: "As long as Yunnan is defeated, when the time comes, my brother will be the lord of the country, and you will all be generals, how happy are you?" Does it matter if he is Ming or Qing, Hu or Han? As long as we keep our own territory, whoever will fight whom, tearing the ground and taking up our own self-righteousness, is stronger than anything else. ”

"Big brother, what are these words!" Li Dingguo said angrily: "The Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty has been recognized by the world, and the society has its master. If we do not measure our own strength and are arrogant, will we not bring about our own destruction? If the eldest brother has the ability, go to Yunnan by himself, don't pull the country back! ”

The more Li Dingguo spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but pull out his waist knife and stab himself. Seeing this, the generals hurriedly rushed up, snatched the waist knife, and immediately tore a piece of the corner of the clothes to wrap it.

Liu Wenxiu had been watching before, but at this time he had already made a choice in his heart, he stood beside Li Dingguo, and said: "Wenxiu is tired of being a thief for half his life, the Tartars are raging in China, bullying me The Han people in the Central Plains are incompetent, and the people are not as good as cattle and horses, Wenxiu is also a child of the Han family, how can he sit and watch the mountains and rivers fall and the people are ravaged?" Now that I have an opportunity to wash away the thief's name, I am willing to return to the Ming Dynasty with my second brother, fight against the Tartars, and restore my rivers and mountains. ”

Other generals, such as Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli, also unanimously expressed their willingness to obey Li Dingguo's orders.

Seeing this, Sun Kewang was secretly annoyed in his heart, so he had to retract his opinion, he patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said: "Second brother, why bother, since you are bent on letting our western army return to the Ming Dynasty, my brother is from you." ”

Sun Kewang's sudden compromise was beyond Li Dingguo's expectations, and he couldn't help but ask with wide eyes; "Big brother is fooling me?"

Sun Kewang drew an arrow and swore: "If what I say is not true, there is such an arrow." With that, he broke the arrow.

Li Dingguo saw that his expression was serious, not like he was joking. I was relieved.

But before he could speak, Sun Kewang said again: "But the ugly words are ahead, my brother can return to the Ming Dynasty and serve the Yongli as the mainstay, but it can only be limited to the name, and the soldiers and horses will not be controlled by the Ming Dynasty and will not listen to the dispatch." ”

Li Dingguo said: "What does the eldest brother mean, do you listen to the propaganda or not?" ”

Sun Kewang nodded, and said undeniably: "This is my brother's bottom line, and I can't break through it again, otherwise my brother won't follow, and you will talk to that big man tomorrow." ”

Li Dingguo knew that Sun Kewang was ambitious, and he was used to being a leader, and he didn't like to be subservient, so when he saw him decide, he was no longer reluctant.

The next day, General Li Dingguo told Gu Yinxi about the results of the meeting, especially Sun Kewang's decision, and after thinking for a while, Du Yinxi stroked his beard and said: "General Sun's request to the Ming Dynasty has been agreed, but he must also promise the court two things: first, when the Ming banner is erected, the false name of Daxi can no longer be used; Second, it is no longer allowed to burn, kill, and plunder prefectures and counties, and the military salaries required by their subordinates are allocated by the imperial court and local state capitals in coordination. ”

Li Dingguo then conveyed the words of blocking Yinxi to Sun Kewang, and Sun Kewang agreed to come down and ordered the department to kill those who committed these two things.

After the two sides agreed, Du Yinxi returned to Xingdu to ask for the seal for the generals of the Western Army, and let the generals wait in place.

Following the loyal battalion, Gu Yinxi once again succeeded in appeasing the rest of the 40,000 Western Army, which impressed Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang rewarded Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu with a pair of python jade belts, a pair of high-grade armor, 100,000 taels of silver, and 500 horses of silk and silk. Feng Sun Kewang is Gui Yibo, Li Dingguo is Wu Yibo, and Liu Wenxiu is Fuchuan Bo.

Zhao Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu's nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses and their families entered the Weixing capital, and named Sun Kewang as the commander of the Yungui military affairs, Xu Qi entered Yunnan to assist the imperial court to quell the Shadingzhou rebellion, and after the success, Xu Zhen guarded Yungui.

After more than a month of hard work, Zhu Youlang finally succeeded in appeasing the rest of the Western Army.

In view of He Tengjiao's death, Hu Guangjun's heart is faintly unstable (Chapter 127 He Tengjiao's ending continues to add some details, if you have doubts about the book friends who subscribed before, you may wish to re-read the end of that chapter.) ), Zhu Youlang ordered Yinxi to return to Huguang quickly to stabilize the overall situation. Before leaving, Zhu Youlang transferred another regiment of 4,000 men to the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army as the central army to block the standard, and together with him he went to Huguang to assist him in rectifying the military and political affairs of Huguang, and streamlined the administration of the army, leaving only one of three regiments and two battalions, with a total of 15,000 escort troops, two of which were naval divisions.

In the middle of September, the autumn mood is already strong, the dates on both sides of the official road are ripe, and the red and clear jujube forests are endless.

Outside the South Gate, Ten Mile Street Pavilion.

Zhu Youlang held a big yellow silk long box in his own hand, walked to the front of Plug Yinxi and stopped, Plug Yinxi suddenly understood, quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, Long live the mountain, and then held the brocade box.

Zhu Youlang said: "Aiqing sealed the territory of Huguang, and I have a word to see me off, which is less than Song Zhiwen Tianxiang and this dynasty is less than Bao." May Aiqing do her best and live up to my high hopes. ”

Plug Yinxi kowtowed again to thank him, and the mountain shouted long live, opened the brocade box with trembling hands, and took out the imperial words. The little inner supervisor next to him held the brocade box for him. He unfolded a volume of yellow depiction of gold cloud dragon wax paper, with Zhu Youlang's inscription on it, each word has two inches square, and the back title is "Give the Governor Yinxi" five words. The wax paper is stamped with the seal body of "Zhu Youlang Royal Pen". Du Yinxi recited in a trembling voice: "If the country lives and dies for profit, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune." ”

After the recitation, Du Yinxi bowed and wept, but he was so choked that he couldn't say a word.

After giving the imperial words, Zhu Youlang waved his hand, the inner supervisors retreated to the side, he walked up to Du Yinxi, and said in a heavy tone: "The situation in Huguang has been erosive for many years, full of depression, and the success or failure of elite soldiers and simplified government is all related to Aiqing. At present, the officers and soldiers of the three armies will be arrogant and lazy, and Aiqing will return to Huguang this time, and the first step is to rectify discipline, so that the officers and men of the three armies will no longer dare to regard the commander in chief as nothing, and take the national law as a child's play, and then they can show the prestige of the imperial court and boost the weak morale. ”

"I understand."

Zhu Youlang said again: "The army of the East is coming, and when the military and government are purged, Aiqing must take into account the defense, build fortifications, deploy troops, and plan the offensive and defensive plans in advance. As for other detailed arrangements, I will talk about it after Aiqing arrives in Huguang, and I wish Aiqing a smooth journey and success! ”

After plugging Yinxi kowtowing and thanking him, he went.

After entering Huguang, on the way to the provincial capital of Changsha, he sent a letter to the local governors, telling the court the virtue of saving the people, and encouraging everyone to serve loyally. At the same time, he sent an urgent telegram to Fu Shangrui, the governor of Biyuan, and the generals of the 13 towns and the leaders of the loyal battalions stationed in Hunan and western Hubei, all of whom rushed to the meeting in Changsha, Hunan Province, at the end of September and listened to his face-to-face lectures.

These urgent documents were handed over to the local Tang Horse, and the Pegasus was transmitted day and night by relay method. It is better to run a dead horse than to be stranded on the road. Except for a few people who were called up because of the distance of their garrisons and other reasons, although they were a little reluctant after receiving the notice, they did not dare to disobey the order, so they packed up and rushed to Changsha with a group of pro-soldiers.
