Zhu Youlang handpicked a few warlords who rebelled before a single shot was fired in the original history, Dong Ying, the chief soldier of the supervision battalion of How Tengjiao, and Yu Wugang supported the troops with self-respect, Liu Chengyin, nicknamed "Liu Tieba", and Cao Zhijian, the chief soldier of Changsha Town, who was like his name. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info instructed Du Yinxi to return to Huguang and be sure to take them as soon as possible to make an example of them.

Plugging Yinxi agreed to the order, the emperor said that the military towns are all natives of Huguang, what virtues he knows very well on weekdays, there is nothing in combat power but only rape and plunder, loot places, and make the people angry, but they were all under the jurisdiction of He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and He Tengjiao sheltered, even if he had any thoughts in his heart, he could only think about it, and now the emperor ordered him to be the governor of Huguang, and he had high hopes, and those military towns would also be governed by him from now on.

The military discipline in the towns of Huguang has been lax for a long time, and the governor's orders are not good, and Du Yinxi feels that it is really necessary to use the heads of these people to clean up the military discipline. With the tens of thousands of troops of the Loyal Battalion and the Jingying Forbidden Army, as well as the money and food of the Imperial Court and the Ministry of Household Affairs as the backing, he had enough confidence to suppress everyone and stabilize the situation in Huguang.

The thirteen towns of Huguang claim to be 300,000 troops, but in fact there are more than 200,000 troops, which are complex, there are guards and soldiers fleeing from other provinces, and the local ruffians and hooligans are full of them, and most of them are made up by the people, the military discipline is poor, and the combat strength is weak.

In view of this situation, it is imperative to streamline the government with elite soldiers, one is to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and the other is to reduce the financial burden of the imperial court, Zhu Youlang set a number of 80,000 soldiers for the battle and auxiliary of Gu Yinxi, including 50,000 loyal battalion soldiers.

The part exceeding 80,000 yuan was either given money and grain to be sent back to the hometown, or incorporated into the tuntian team to be reclaimed in Guangxi to provide military rations for the army, which can be regarded as waste utilization.

In this way, at least half of the military salary can be saved at once, as for those military towns who disagree, then they will not be able to do it, and those who dare to commit rebellion, Zhu Youlang does not mind the pro-unification of the Beijing camp forbidden army and the loyal battalion under the command of Yinxi to destroy them before the king of Sanshun arrives in Huguang.

The food and salary of the 80,000 army, the ordnance expenditure, it probably costs more than one million taels a year, the central household part bears seventy percent, and Huguang raises three percent, which is blocked by Yinxi without the slightest opinion, the military expenses of the thirteen towns used to be raised by Huguang, during the Longwu Dynasty, the center was far away in Fujian, the whip was out of reach, and he was too busy to take care of himself, there was no extra money and food at all, more than 200,000 horses, two million taels of military expenses per year, only relying on Huguang's tax of 200,000 taels a year, he couldn't bear it at all, he could only keep collecting grain! Levy food! Scrape the ground, do your best and fish!

Fortunately, after the Phoenix Nirvana, there is finally a relatively stable and strong center, and the national fortunes have been cheered up, and there is a surplus of money and food allocated to Huguang, which is a great news for Plug Yinxi.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is a center to bear most of the military expenses, and the pressure is light, full of confidence in the road ahead, and full of expectations for the great cause of Zhongxing, and the people of Huguang can finally breathe a sigh of relief, which is what Zhu Youlang wants to see.

"This time I summoned Aiqing to Beijing, in addition to these, I have another thing I want Aiqing to do."

Zhu Youlang paused and said with a warm smile.

"Your Majesty, please speak up, and the ministers will listen to you."

Zhu Youlang nodded and said: "The Tartars are strong, the Ming is weak, and the Sanshun rebel king is about to go south, and my Ming troops are too small after all, and it will not be easy to resist when the time comes."

According to the secret report, I learned that the remnants of the rebellious Western Army are now settling in Guizhou, short of food and clothing, and still at a loss, it is an excellent time to surrender, Qing has the experience of the rest of the Shun army, I don't feel at ease when I send someone to I, I want Qing to go back to Huguang to personally enter Guizhou to appease the remnants of the rebellion, and jointly resist the capture, I don't know what Qing wants? ”

"One more strength, one more chance of winning, the Shun army is available, the western army is indispensable, and the minister is willing to promote this matter for my emperor to enter Guizhou." He is not a pedantic person, and it is indeed beneficial to appease the rest of the Western Army to resist the great cause of captivity, which is very clear about this, and he admires the emperor's open-mindedness and open-mindedness.

"This is going to Guizhou, the road ahead is unknown, and the danger is unpredictable, don't you think about it carefully?" Zhu You didn't expect Du Yinxi to reply so quickly, but he was a little embarrassed.

Du Yinxi raised his eyebrows and said: "Gou Lisheji, it's just a broken body, why should the minister be afraid?" ”

Zhu Youlang was shocked when he heard this: "With Qing's words, what else do I have to say, I hope Qing will contribute to the situation as soon as possible and return triumphantly!" ”

"The minister will not fail in his mission!"

In this way, Du Yinxi only stayed in Beijing for a few days, and after getting the emperor's face-to-face instruction, he bid farewell to his friends in Beijing, and took a boat from Zhaoqing along the Xijiang River into Guangxi, and went to the rest of the Western Army in Guizhou.

The dust is cut and the drum is dry, and the sound of change is high and the August is cold. Night crossing may know the desert, where is Chang'an on the day side;

The cup is a pity and a sage, and the strategy is to worry about the miscellaneous Han. Yan Shi is ashamed of himself, and he still jumps away, and he returns to laugh at the old Confucian crown!

He went to Guizhou alone to appease the rest of the Western Army, just to realize the ideal of Kuang Fu Sheji.

Soon after blocking Yinxi from Beijing, He Tengjiao finally arrived in Zhaoqing, the capital of Lindu after a long journey, and when he entered the city, Zhu Youlang completely gave him the honor and courtesy of a cabinet scholar, and announced that the civil and military officials of the six grades or more were led by the first assistant Zhai Shiyun to wait outside the south gate.

Because of the large number of civil and military ministers, a cloth shed was temporarily erected under the south gate, and tables and chairs were placed. Chariots, horses, palanquins, deacons of all kinds, soldiers and servants, as if in a meeting, filled the two or three miles long along both sides of the road.

As soon as He Tengjiao's sedan chair arrived, the officials below the third rank bowed down and stood solemnly half a mile away from the south gate to greet them, and the first assistant, the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu and the waiters, the imperial history of the left and right of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and all the officials above the third rank greeted them under the south gate.

He Tengjiao was half a mile away from the south gate, got off the sedan chair in the sound of three salutes and drums, and returned the salute to the officials below the third rank to show his humility. Then get back on the sedan chair and carry it straight to the south gate.

Because it is the order of the hundred officials to greet, so He Tengjiao first kowtowed to the direction of the palace under the south gate to thank him, Zhai Shiyun and other ministers led all the civil and military colleagues to greet He Tengjiao, He Tengjiao also said a few words of thanks, and then entered the city under the guidance of the minister of civil and military affairs, from the solemnity of today's greeting ceremony and the large number of civil and military ministers, fully showing the emperor's special attention to him, so far He Tengjiao's heart was finally put back in his stomach.

When waiting for the pilgrimage to meet the king, the emperor personally met in the council hall, He Tengjiao showed his loyalty, and directly refuted the rumors, Zhu Youlang heard a few words of encouragement, expressed his complete trust in him, and then gave a banquet in the side hall, why Tengjiao took the wind and washed the dust, He Tengjiao was flattered.

After meeting the emperor, He Tengjiao entered the cabinet the next day as a scholar of the military department and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the second assistant.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and more than ten years later, when he hadn't fully enjoyed the pleasure brought by the power of the second assistant, an impeachment note pushed him to the cusp of the storm again.

He Tengjiao trembled and held the Tang newspaper just announced by the General Administration, and rows of shocking words came into view:

"The minister supervised the imperial history Wang Like risked his life to impeach the second assistant He Tengjiao, his governor Huguang for three years, as a parent, the people did not move, but they harmed the people, scraped off the people's fat and people's ointment, and also plundered the army, so that the people were not able to live, and the people were trapped in fire and water, this crime is one!

The imperial court granted it the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, the governor of Huguang military administration, and it operated Huguang for three years, numbering 300,000 soldiers and horses in thirteen towns, once the battle, fled in despair, and lost land and humiliated the country one after another, this crime is two!

As an official of the imperial court, he does not know how to devote himself to state affairs, but he forms a party for personal gain, the party fights against differences, sow discord, and force rebellion against loyalty, this crime is three!

There are these three crimes, the law of the country is intolerable, please send him to prison for questioning, with the right dynasty, hope that His Majesty will be clear, and the minister will kowtow. (To be continued.) )
