Du Yinxi invited Ling Jingyang and his party to sit in the best restaurant in Changsha City.

Ling Jingyang said that he didn't need to go to the restaurant, he came to Changsha City to plan the future of the Ming Dynasty with all the adults, not to eat, drink and have fun and visit the restaurant.

This is the heroic demeanor of the general, and Du Yinxi couldn't help but admire Ling Jingyang and others, and took Ling Jingyang and his party to the official residence of Changsha Mansion to receive everyone here.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

The official residence of Changsha Mansion is next to the prince's mansion, but everyone didn't know that the prince came back and came back with a lot of silver.

After entering the mansion, Ling Jingyang and his subordinates sat down in accordance with the priority, and brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison near the official residence.

However, Ling Jingyang and Du Yinxi were not worried about their subordinates making trouble, and the two communicated amicably, and Du Yinxi and Ling Jingyang introduced the situation in the central and southern parts of Huguang, and Yongzhou Mansion, Hengzhou Mansion, and Chenzhou in the south are still He Tengjiao's territory.

The warlords of these three places did not obey the dispatch of the imperial court, and only recognized He Tengjiao.

With the support of soldiers and horses in these three places, He Tengjiao can still occupy an important position after entering the court.

The Qing army is in the north of Huguang, and the south of Huguang is still in a semi-secessed state, Ling Jingyang sighed, he sighed that the Ming Dynasty had many opportunities to fight back, but they were all harmed by He Tengjiao.

At this time, He Tengjiao entered the imperial court as an official, but he was still able to control the place, he suddenly had a big idea, but he was not in a hurry to express it, but continued to listen to Du Yinxi's speech.

Du Yinxi also told Ling Jingyang that the two provinces of Guangxi and Guangdong, south of Huguang, have large populations and many generals, and if they lead the soldiers and horses of Guangxi and Guangxi to the north, they may be able to drive away Jiannu and reverse the situation.

"Lord Block, there are many people in Liangguang, but how can there be so much silver, without silver, not a single soldier can go out to fight in Liangguang, maybe only when Jiannu fights, will he be responsible for defending the land and fight back, right?"

Ling Jingyang saw the essence of the problem at a glance, there was no money, not only the Hongguang Imperial Court, King Lu, and Emperor Longwu had no money, most of the wealth in Jiangnan was born in the hands of officials and landlords, if it weren't for the Qing army and no money, it was necessary to rob these people's silver and land, and pay the green battalion soldiers, I'm afraid they would have voted a long time ago.

Du Yinxi said worriedly: "Huguang's tax is only one million a year, Nanzhili was ravaged by the Qing army and has not yet recovered, Zhejiang is King Lu's, Fujian is the Zheng family's own land, and other places are poor and remote, there is no food in the famine year, and there is no surplus grain in the harvest year, Guangdong is commercially developed, but..."

"You just can't collect taxes, do you?"

One sentence made the old faces of Du Yinxi and the officials of Changsha Mansion red, it is true that they can't collect taxes, and it has nothing to do with the ability of Du Yinxi and others, but Ling Jingyang didn't agree with each other, so he tore open the scars, which made the faces of this group of Ming bureaucrats very unnatural.

"Listen to the governor, be straightforward and fast-talking, and admire."

Ling Jingyang snorted coldly.

"You admire me, is it useful?"

This sentence is full of martial arts' domineering and brutality, and Du Yinxi was speechless, Rutie didn't expect that the approachable Ling Jingyang could become so irritable today, it was Li Rufeng who died in battle, which made him feel resentful.

But Li Rufeng's death in battle had little to do with blocking Yinxi, he looked at Ling Jingyang for some help, and begged him not to be embarrassed to block Yinxi.

Ling Jingyang also realized the gaffe, lowered his tone, and continued.

"If you can't collect taxes, isn't it that the taxes are unbalanced, the richer you are, the more you can't collect taxes, but you have a hand in squeezing the old farmers, isn't it, my lords?"

This is the true portrayal of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party and other officials do not collect taxes, the royal family does not collect taxes, and they have to support hundreds of thousands of royal families, so they have to desperately squeeze the people, and finally receive taxes, and they do not give it to the court.

These words made Du Yinxi suddenly realize that this Ling Jingyang is not a martial artist, but a civil and military all-rounder with Huigen.

"Listen to the governor, wake up the dreamer with a word."

Du Yinxi wanted to praise Ling Jingyang, but Ling Jingyang waved his hand to him.

"Blocking the scriptures, and all my lords, I will be in Wuchang Mansion, Yuezhou Mansion, and Changde Mansion will soon start to collect business taxes, as well as the taxes of Huangzhuang, and the taxes of the official eunuchs will be collected."

The real purpose of his coming to Changsha Mansion is to reach an agreement with Du Yinxi and others to collect taxes in their respective jurisdictions, so that he does not want him to make a hot situation in Wuchang Mansion, but other places are warm water, which will only make the rich people in the jurisdiction leave, and only when all places are in step with each other can the interests be maximized.

Many of his subordinates have land in Changsha Mansion, and when they heard that they were going to collect taxes from the eunuchs, they all showed unhappy expressions.

He asked to take a step to talk to Ling Jingyang, and Ling Jingyang agreed to let his subordinates move freely in the official residence.

He and Du Yinxi came to the backyard, there was an attic, and Du Yinxi invited Ling Jingyang to the attic to cook wine and talk about heroes.

After taking his seat, Du Yinxi suddenly bowed to Ling Jingyang.

"Listen to the governor, both civil and military, work hard for my Ming, please be blocked and worshipped."

Plugging Yinxi's sudden action startled Ling Jingyang, and he hurriedly helped Plug Yinxi up.

"Master Block, you're embarrassing me."

After Du Yinxi finished worshipping, he raised his head and said to Ling Jingyang: "Ling Dudu, both wise and brave, single-handedly rescued Chongzhen Ye from fire and water, and he is the savior of my Ming Dynasty." ”

But Ling Jingyang doesn't eat this set. He asked him with a hint of provocation.

"Lord Jingluo, this Ming is the world's great Ming, but not the Zhu family."

This was a big rebellion a year ago, but at this time, when Du Yinxi heard it, he couldn't raise his anger, so he decided to change the topic and continue to discuss taxes with Ling Jingyang.

"Governor Lingdu, you are collecting taxes, but you are risking the world's disapproval?"

"My Lord Jinglu, the Ming Dynasty has rotted into this step, the world is almost gone, Jingliu is still here, the world is not disapproved, don't you feel panicked?"

In fact, as soon as Ling Jingyang finished speaking, he regretted it a little, and he didn't understand why he could talk so gunpowder today.

But in Gu Yinxi's opinion, Ling Jingyang's speech is very unique, maybe this is the characteristic of military generals, right?

"Governor Lingdu, do you know who owns this Changsha City?"

"Oh, the younger generation would like to listen to what Lord Jinglu has to say."

"Half of this Changsha City is the residence of King Ji, and most of the land in this Changsha Mansion is the prince, and the governor of Lingdu asked me to collect the prince's taxes in Changsha Mansion, isn't it self-isolation from Huguang?"

"Lord Block, if you don't collect taxes, then let Jiannu collect them, you see if Jiannu collects them ruthlessly, or do we collect them ruthlessly?"

The Qing army went south, but it killed a lot of people, especially the rich, how to pay the military salary if they didn't kill or rob?

Du Yinxi didn't know how to answer Ling Jingyang.

"One-third of the world is occupied by Jiannu, and my generation will not improve itself, and if I don't break these old rules, if I want to break it in the future, I won't have a chance."

Du Yinxi still felt that Ling Jingyang was too aggressive, and he didn't receive taxes, and he was attacked by other people in the court.

"Lord Du, you only need to agree with Ling's suggestion, Ling's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are your best backing, those imperial villages, official eunuch fields, commercial taxes, salt taxes, deed taxes, who dares to resist taxes and kill, but this time they will not collect taxes from the people."

Du Yinxi shook his head hurriedly and asked, "Why don't you collect taxes from the people?" ”

"They are squeezed dry, and there is only one body of meat left, and if they are squeezed any more, Huguang will be lost."

Du Yinxi was silent, and Ling Jingyang saw that he didn't speak, so he stimulated him again.

"If I'm embarrassed, my 20,000 soldiers and horses can be taxed in Changsha Mansion, and half of the taxes collected will be given to the imperial court, and the rest will be opened fifty-fifty."

Although the prince of Changsha Mansion was robbed of a lot of silver by Zhang Xianzhong, the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and there were many secret warehouses with a large amount of silver, and if the prince could be taxed, Changsha Mansion could receive 500,000 silver.

Even if there is half of the remaining half and Ling Jingyang, there are more than 100,000 silver, with this silver, go to Liangguang to buy food, and you can also recruit soldiers, Du Yinxi seems to be going through a painful struggle, and finally he gritted his teeth and agreed to Ling Jingyang.

"Governor Lingdu, tomorrow I will go to Baoqing Mansion to recruit troops, and I will go for half a month, and this Changsha Mansion will ask the Governor."

The two smiled heartily, and finally reached a consensus, and Du Yinxi talked to Ling Jingyang about the war in Xiangyang Mansion, he had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Changsha Mansion and Baoqing Mansion, and if necessary, he could raise troops to the north to reinforce the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army.

Most of the Ming troops in Changsha and Baoqing are third-rate troops, and it is not useful to pull on the front line, Ling Jingyang suggested that Plug Yinxi do a good job in logistics, provide grain and grass and people for the army, as long as the frontline grain and grass are sufficient, and the soldiers have military salaries every month, then they will fight with the Qing army.

"Ling Dudu, you said Daming, is there a day to reopen?"

"Yes, there is Lord Block's backing for me, and Daming will definitely reopen."

The two once again formed a higher-level alliance, listening to Jingyang's main army, blocking Yinxi in charge, the two are very fateful, from boredom to afternoon in the small attic, lunch is blocked Yinxi let the maid bring over, casually pull two mouthfuls, and then continue to point out the country.

Ling Jingyang and Du Yinxi had a strikingly similar attitude towards the peasant army, and both believed that they wanted to win over the peasant army.

As for Shi Kefa's alliance with Pingkou, it is an extreme mistake, only by uniting with the Great Western Army and the Great Shun Army, especially the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army were attacked by the Qing army, at this time, we should do everything to help the two peasant armies and inflict heavy losses on the Qing army, so that we can get back a city.

"Lingdu Governor, the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army defeated Jiannu, what should we do next?"

After all, Du Yinxi is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he is still on the side of the Ming Dynasty in his heart, and Ling Jingyang told him that the next step is to start a war in Liaodong.

"Liaodong? Isn't that the slave territory? Our army defeated Jiannu at this time, and did not have the strength to make a northern expedition to the base camp of Jiannu. ”

Ling Jingyang was hesitant to talk to Du Yinxi about Fusang people, after all, in Du Yinxi's opinion, Fusang people were far overseas.

He thought about it for a while, and still talked to Du Yinxi about Guanwai.

"Lord Block, the Fusang people are here."

"Fuso people? Isn't it just a Japanese coward, who was driven away by the Qi family army in the early years, why did he resurgence in these years and come to my land of China to loot? ”
