As the governor of Huguang, Du Yinxi was stationed in Changsha Mansion at this time.

In the entire Huguang, only south of Dongting Lake, that is, the present-day Hunan region, the Ming court can still carry out effective military and political rule.

The northern part of Huguang, that is, Wuchang, Huangzhou and other prefectures, was often plagued by Zuo Liangyu, and even Huguang governors such as He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi could only rule the southern part of Dongting Lake.

Therefore, it also led to He Tengjiao in Yueyang and Yinxi in Changsha.

Lilai Hunan is located inland, surrounded by mountains in the southeast and west, and is blocked by Dongting Lake in the north, so it is a relatively narrow area in today's Daming, and the level of economic development is not as good as that of the north of Huguang.

It was only in modern times, after the start of the Westernization Movement, that Hunan was born in large numbers, and its contribution to China far exceeded that of Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places in ancient times.

Although Gu Yinxi was appointed as the governor of Huguang by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen from the deputy envoy of Tixue, his power in the entire Huguang territory was naturally not much better than that of the governor He Tengjiao.

Therefore, Du Yinxi can only have the ambition of helping the world and the people without being able to display it, and can only study the countermeasures for preventing the Qing army from moving south in the Huguang region with a group of staff, and then study the strategy of tuntian to pacify the people.

Taking advantage of the implementation of the imperial court's tax exemption policy, Du Yinxi also recruited many displaced people who could not bear the captivity of the left army to cultivate a lot of mountain terraces in Changsha, Changde and other places.

In addition, Du Yinxi also successively appeased many robbers who were making trouble in the mountainous areas in Xiangxi, persuaded them to serve the people, punished corrupt officials, and restored basic rule.

It is precisely because of this that Du Yinxi has a deeper understanding of the peasant army than scholars and officials like He Tengjiao, and therefore took the initiative to suggest that the imperial court appease the rest of the army.

In fact, he still hasn't known the news that Li Zicheng has died, he just analyzes it according to his own reason, hoping that the imperial court can put aside the old hatred and negotiate peace with Li Zicheng.

Du Yinxi doesn't know what the consequences will be after his performance is handed over to the imperial court, whether he will be attacked by the imperial historians and officials for being ignorant and anti-thief, and whether His Majesty will be disgusted with himself because of this.

But Plug Yinxi is ready for the worst, this kind of river is declining, when the nation is in danger, he Plug Yinxi doesn't want to protect himself anymore, anyway, under the nest, there are no eggs, what is he worried about.

"Futai, the captain of Jinyi is here, and he has been waiting for you for a long time!"

On this day, Du Yinxi was conducting a personal cultivation experiment with the potatoes proposed by Guangming Daily outside the city, and before he could wash his hands, he heard his subordinates report that Jinyiwei had visited.

In Daming, being visited by Jinyiwei is never something to be happy about, but the staff behind Du Yinxi panicked directly when they heard this: "Futai, didn't the imperial court send someone to get you?" ”

"It's a disaster that can't be avoided, it's a blessing that can't be measured, you continue to turn over the ground, I'll go back to Fucheng first, and bring the horse here!"

After saying that, he sat on a stone and changed into moire boots, and after changing into an official robe, he put on a black gauze hat, and immediately turned over and got on his horse and rode towards the city of Changsha.

"Master, do you say that it is a good thing or a bad thing for the imperial court to send Jinyi Wei here, the official position here is not small, it is after the pacification envoy Wang Peng, after the new Mr. Bo Yangming in the past! There are also more than 30 Jinyi lieutenants accompanying him, and it can be seen that they are all murderous! ”

As soon as Du Yinxi arrived at the mansion, his servant Zhang Hua hurriedly ran to lead the horse for Du Yinxi, and said: "From the political envoy to the prefect of Changsha, these officials are now accompanied by Jinyiwei, and they dare not come out to greet you, for fear of getting into trouble." ”

"They have the ability to avoid trouble, but they don't have the ability to judge the situation and assess the situation, just a group of mediocre officials!"

Who knows, Du Yinxi suddenly laughed again, and was in a good mood: "The court is going to reuse me to block so!" ”

"How can you see it, master?" Slave Zhang Hua asked.

"If you arrest me and block a certain person, why do you need to calm down the envoy in person, and why do you need more than 30 captains in brocade clothes, this looks like they are here to escort them, eighty percent of them are the internal problems of the thieves, or the court intends to appease the thieves!"

As he spoke, he walked in, and when he saw that his colleagues were hiding their faces and pretending not to know, he couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Wang Peng, the envoy of Jinyiwei, was busy trotting towards Blocking Yinxi: "If it weren't for the holy oracle, Wang would not dare to make such a mistake, and it would be really disrespectful to sit and wait for the blocking platform to come." ”

The officials couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that this Jinyi Wei didn't come to arrest Yinxi, otherwise, why did Wang Peng, the envoy of this Jinyi Guard, treat Yinxi so politely?

"Since there is a holy oracle, let us announce the decree first!"

After saying that he was ready to order someone to put incense on the case, and Wang Peng, the envoy of Jinyiwei, said that his majesty now has a holy decree, in order to save time, remove some red tape, especially at this critical moment.

Therefore, Plug Yinxi simply prostrated on the ground: "The minister is the governor of Huguang Military Administration, and the right deputy is the imperial history of Plug Yinxi to listen to the order." ”

"During the period of inspecting Huguang in Yinxi, the people were pacified, and there were many good governance, and now there are good words to appease the thieves, which is very in line with my intentions, and specially ordered its governor Huguang and Guizhou Theater military and political affairs, plus the young master of the prince of the left squire of the military department, and gave him a crown belt, and then rushed to Wuchang immediately, responsible for the matter of appeasing the rest of the army, and the official position awarding and personnel statistics of the civil and military officials of the army should be responsible for Aiqing! Be sure to stabilize the hearts of the army, and prepare for him to cooperate with Li Yan to fight against the Qing army's Azig Division. ”

Du Yinxi was very excited in his heart, he didn't expect that His Majesty would directly promote his own governor Huguang today, and let himself be in charge of the matter of appeasement without any scruples.

The Ming Dynasty has the wisdom of a monarch, and there is no hope for the country!

Plugging Yinxi was in high spirits for a while, and bowed for a long time: "The minister Plug Yinxi obeys the order!" ”

"Block the public, please get up, there is another will here, is to give Li Yan the will of the governor of Huguang, you will pass it to him when the time comes, and, Your Majesty asked you to bring a message to Li Yan, Your Majesty said, Li Yan can understand the overall situation, understand the current affairs, and stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty at the critical moment, it can be said that the merit is in the community, and the benefit is in the future, and on the day of the victory of the Qing army, he will give it to the prince!"

Du Yinxi nodded: "Please also calm down the envoy to play Your Majesty, please rest assured, Weichen Du Yinxi will do his best to keep a territory for this great tomorrow!" ”

"Without further ado, at present, the Qing army's Azig troops are pressing the border, and I hope that Dugong will set off as soon as possible, in addition, Your Majesty has already said that the local officials in Huguang are all up to you to decide, and you don't have to go through the imperial court.

"There may be those available for state and county officials, but there are few of them, so I will draw up a list tonight and leave early tomorrow morning!"

Plug Yinxi said.

"Then I'll wait for the plug to go overnight, and escort the block to Wuchang tomorrow morning!"

Wang Peng said.
