The official letter of the cabinet sent to the Huguang Governor's Office, ordering Yinxi to deal with the civil unrest in Changsha, and at the same time announcing that Xu Yiyang, a general of the Nanjing Staff, would be appointed as a special envoy to assist in the implementation of the new tax system in Huguang.

This is the second time that the imperial court has sent a military officer.

Within one day, Xu Yiyang carefully selected 500 swordsmen from Dongying, and each of them had to be seen in person. The so-called knife handler is a soldier who is equipped with both a bird gun and a Qi knife, and he is the most elite foot soldier of the Ming Dynasty at present.

After explaining various affairs to Jin Xiaoding, the governor of Nanjing, he led 500 people out of Nanjing.

The drizzle came and went, and the official road was muddy.

The 500 soldiers did not take the Yangtze River waterway, but took the Taiping Mansion and marched to Changsha through Chizhou, Jiujiang and Yuezhou.

No one knows why, maybe it was to investigate the promotion of the tax system along the way, or maybe he just wanted to enjoy the scenery by the river.

Only Xu Yiyang himself knew his purpose.

The passenger ship went upstream, and he sat in the bow of the ship and watched the fog on both sides of the river, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

A sturdy man in coarse cloth clothes walked over and said, "The young master is Wuhu on the other side, and you will reach Jiujiang in two days."

"It's really fast to take the waterway" Xu Yiyang was quite surprised, and asked on the side: "Erwu, how many days can we get to Changsha before them?" He hasn't been out of Jiangnan for 19 years, and he really wants to take the opportunity to see the mountains and rivers along the way, but unfortunately the sky is not beautiful. It's a pity that in the past few days of sailing, the fog has made him seem to have an eye disease, except for the white and white.

"About ten days, the young master told them not to go too fast."

Xu Yiyang leaned on the rattan chair, was idle for a long time, and said: "Although the boat ride is leisurely, it is too boring."

This pro-soldier is named Zhang Erwu, and the three of his brothers are all from Yiwu, named Zhang Dawu, Zhang Erwu and Zhang Sanwu, all of whom are Xu Yiyang's cronies. The 500 soldiers who walked the 6th route were led by Zhang Dawu. Zhang Erwu and Zhang Sanwu brought more than a dozen thin-looking elite soldiers, as well as a few secretaries in charge of accounts in the army pretending to be merchants, and followed Xu Yiyang westward by water. In order not to leak the details, Xu Yiyang specially borrowed a shopkeeper from Liu Quan who had been to Changsha.

Zhang Erwu sat opposite Xu Yiyang and replied with a smile: "Yes, this is just a river, I heard that the big boat that goes to sea from Ningshao is even more boring, and the merchants sometimes can't go home for half a year, so they can only add some supplies to the water village set up on the wild island." Some people laughed, and when they came back from going to sea for half a year, they wanted to sleep in their arms when they saw the sow. ”

Xu Yiyang squinted his eyes, looked at Zhang Erwu, and asked, "Yes, do you have relatives at home who have gone to the sea?" ”

"Yes, after the ban on the sea this year, Taizhou and Wenzhou have been turned upside down, and people who don't have much land at home are willing to go to the sea to gamble, although it is risky, but they can make money."

Xu Yiyang stretched his waist and asked, "Listen to what you mean, you also want to go to the sea?" Can't I make any money here? ”

Zhang Erwu hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "The young master is also too careful."

The ship is boring, without a few jokes, and there is really no way to play with time.

"Don't worry, when you finish your work in Changsha, you don't need to sleep with your sow in your arms" Xu Yiyang finished speaking, leaned on the rattan chair and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Changsha.

The war in Jiangbei has not ended, and Du Yinxi has been staying in Jingzhou City, where Yuan Dada, the prefect of Changsha, has the final say.

He was originally He Tengjiao's protégé, and after He Tengjiao's demise, he saw the opportunity quickly and immediately took refuge in the door of Plug Yinxi, so he should have been a prefect for three years.

Nanjing's spring rain face, the weather around Dongting Lake is exceptionally good, seven out of ten days are sunny and shining.

In the backyard of the prefect's mansion, three squires in silk and satin are hugging a man in official uniform and drinking tea and talking.

Yuan is in his fifties, his face is white and beardless, his lips are lightly fluffy, and his face is similar to that of a eunuch.

He complained: "This matter, you are too hasty, after the Qin mission arrived in Changsha, it was inevitable that there would be another bloody storm." Now it's not as good as it was back then, King Jin is covering the sky in the imperial court, aren't you adding trouble to me? ”

Two of these three people are the squires of Ningxiang County, and the other is Zhang Xinzheng, the patriarch of the Zhang family of the Wang clan in Changsha County. The farce of this rebellion against the new tax system was born in the mines of Ningxiang County.

The Zhang family has a great reputation in Huguang, and three generations have produced two jinshi and five lifters. Zhang Xinzheng stroked his beard and said, "There are no dead people, what kind of mess can happen?" The court investigated it, found a few miners to go out to confess, and gave Qin Cha a face, and this matter was over."

Yuan Dada shook his head and said, "That being said, I'm just afraid that Qin Cha is not so easy to fool."

Zhang Ding, a squire in Ningxiang County, is a distant relative of Zhang Xinzheng, because he can invite Zhang Xinzheng out because of his face. He clapped his palms and said, "Lord Yuan Hugh wants to be blinded by me, I heard that Na Qincha is only a nineteen-year-old martial artist, what is there to be afraid of?" So far, the governor has not said anything, which shows that the imperial court is unpopular to levy two taxes."

The governor of Huguang, Du Yinxi, has an ambiguous attitude on this matter, which is the greatest confidence of these squires.

The Donglin Party hated the tax increase by the imperial court, and it was rare for the court to oppose the two taxes without playing the imperial court.

From Donglin's point of view, any tax increase must be looting the people. This view is indeed true in essence, and even if the mining tax is increased, it will eventually be reflected in the utensils of the people.

But the court had no money, and the impact was even greater.

Gu Yinxi is on the battlefield, knowing that the army cannot be paid, and can understand a little bit of Zhai Zhe's difficulties. But if he is asked to fully implement the two taxes, he is not willing to do such a thankless task. Because the tax collector came from the household department, just like the eunuch who supervised the mining tax back then, the silver collected had nothing to do with Huguang.

Zhang Xinzheng nodded in agreement, and said: "Don't say anything, Changsha Shilin is in turmoil, and even Wang Chuanshan wrote an article, saying that the imperial court levied two taxes to bring disaster to the country and the people, what do we have to be afraid of?"

The Wang Chuan Mountain he said refers to Wang Fuzhi, the No. Ship Mountain. Wang Fuzhi was originally a scribe in Quzhou, because the Qing soldiers went south, he fled to Changsha to avoid trouble, and became very famous in the Hunan Shilin.

Yuan Dada was always uneasy in his heart, and said: "Qin Cha is a martial artist, I'm afraid I won't listen to Shilin."

Zhang Ding probed the details of Nanjing City, his face was full of disdain, and said: "Qin Cha is the son of Xu Du, the former thief in eastern Zhejiang, because he recognized Xiao Zhiyan as his father, he climbed so fast. ”

Yuan Dada frowned and said: "That's terrifying, it means that he is a close confidant of the King of Jin, if the imperial court sends a person from Shilin, it will be easy to say." Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, ask Zhang Lao to come forward, and let Wang Chuanshan write a few articles, and this matter will be erased. But the king of Jin sent his cronies to Changsha, and he was a martial artist, so he was afraid that it would not be good. He used to follow He Tengjiao closely, and he had been paying attention to He Tengjiao being captured by Zhai Zhe, and finally killed in Nanjing City, and his courage became extremely small.

Yuan Dada is the prefect of Changsha, and his attitude is extremely crucial. He was timid, so that the other people were disdainful and worried.

Zhang Xinzheng's face showed hesitation, and said: "A young man, what are you afraid of, when he arrives in Changsha, he only needs to trap him with three things: wine, color and wealth." After waiting for a long time, the matter can't be caught again, let's find a few more people for him to deal with, he can only listen to Lord Yuan's arrangement"

"He is a martial artist" Zhang Ding seemed to have caught something crucial, jumped up and said: "Liu Tie Stick may not be able to tolerate him"

The Liu Tie stick he said was Liu Chengyin, the chief soldier of Changsha, who was originally the chief soldier of Wugang.

When He Tengjiao went to Jingzhou, Changsha was originally garrisoned by more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. Plug Yinxi spoiled the loyal camp, these people were grandmothers who didn't hurt, and uncles didn't love them.

He Tengjiao's cronies were eaten by Zhai Zhe under the city of Jingzhou, Yu Yu Jingjing, Changsha soldiers and horses were gone, blocked Yinxi to play the imperial court, transferred Liu Chengyin to Changsha, and let his subordinate Chen Youlong be the general of Wugang.

Liu Chengyin is fierce and domineering, and even Yuan Dada does not dare to offend in Changsha.

At present, the general troops in all parts of the Ming Dynasty are controlled by the generals of the Jin Dynasty, and only Hunan is still in a semi-independent state. At this time, the king of Jin suddenly sent a military general Qin to send over, and the matter may not be as simple as just collecting taxes.

Everyone understood what Zhang Ding meant, and each thought for a moment.

Zhang Xinzheng said disappreciably: "It's just a teenager, you think too much"

Yuan Dada also did not believe that Xu Yiyang's trip was aimed at Liu Chengyin. That person is very difficult to mess with, and he has a strong army under his command, and no one can control it except for Plug Yinxi.

Zhang Ding thought about it for a while, and felt that he was too sensitive, so he shook his head and said, "No matter how much, this time I will hand over a few miners to the errand." The next time the tax collector dared to come, he would have to break one of their legs, and there would be no silver for a tael. This is Hunan, not Jiangnan. I don't believe that the imperial court would dare to send a large army to suppress it."

Several people discussed the countermeasures after the Qincha arrived in Changsha, and dispersed.

Ningxiang County is fifty or sixty miles away from Changsha, and after Ningxiang's additional mining tax provoked a civil uprising, the officials and tax collectors in Huguang did not dare to move, waiting for the reaction of the imperial court. If the matter in Ningxiang is not solved well, the collection of mining tax in Huguang is only afraid that it will fall into the bamboo basket to draw water.

The passenger ship passed through the vast Dongting Lake and docked in Changsha.

After passing through Chizhou, the weather was sunny all the way, and Xu Yiyang feasted his eyes. When he got off the boat, he was in good spirits, and the dozen or so people in his group were all the same.

In recent years, the chamber of commerce in Jiangnan has been exuberant, and many merchants have traveled back and forth between Huguang and Jiangnan.

It is half an hour's journey from the wharf to Changsha City. Everyone entered Changsha City, and the shopkeeper chose a remote inn. Xu Yiyang asked the entourage to rest, found the guy at the inn, and asked, "In Changsha City, which Qinglou is the most famous?" ”

Zhang Erwu heard clearly on the side, but he didn't expect that the adults had been holding back on the boat for eight days, and they would have to find a woman when they got off the boat

"If you want to talk about Qinglou, there is no one in Changsha City who can pass the Qiuyue Tower" The guy was faintly proud.

A green building, what is there to praise in Daming, is there a green building with more charm than Qinhuai Hefang? Xu Yiyang was secretly amused in his heart. But with a fellow, he asked for directions, went back to the house, washed his face and rested.

The group was pretending to be a businessman, in order to hide people's eyes, they had to fake the show, and the shopkeeper began to talk to his peers about business after resting.
