Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 185 One Hundred Thousand Stones of Grain in Wuchang

Liu Fangliang knew that this kind of matter belonged to the government affairs of the Huguang land boundary.

Logically, he and Chen Zilong, officials of the Guards in the Fengyang theater, naturally have no right to intervene in local government affairs in Huguang.

However, the [-] shi of grain is related to the Chuangjun brothers who are about to be recruited by the court.

Therefore, Liu Fangliang had to stay out of the matter, and when he saw Chen Zilong coming to ask for instructions, he nodded and said, "Since you have an idea, you might as well tell Du Zhitai immediately!"

"Your orders!" Chen Zilong rode to Du Yinxi's side after getting Liu Fangliang's permission, and whispered a few words to Du Yinxi.

Du Yinxi looked back at Chen Zilong, nodded knowingly after a while, and flicked his horsewhip. Under the guards of Jinyiwei Town Fushi Wang Peng and Yu Qianhu, he came to a relatively high ground and shouted: "Everyone! , I am Du Yinxi, the newly appointed governor of Huguang, who was ordered to comfort the people in the territory, so naturally I can't sit idly by and ignore your life. Everyone, follow me to Wuchang City. In Wuchang City, I have already prepared [-] stone grains. At that time, it will be distributed to everyone, and everyone who follows will have it!"

As soon as Du Yinxi said this, the common people couldn't help but bow down to Du Yinxi with gratitude.

Immediately, the hearts of the people are at peace.

And the officers and soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the common people no longer have the possibility of causing trouble, they naturally don't need to be nervous anymore.

Liu Fangliang couldn't help laughing. He naturally knew that Du Yinxi's statement that there were [-] stone grains in Wuchang City was a lie. After all, Wuchang City is not in Daming's hands now. Wan Shi Liang.

But there are tens of thousands of trespassers in Wuchang City, as long as Huguang Governor Du Yinxi and the [-] shi of grain enter Wuchang City, there will be tens of thousands of trespassers, these people naturally don't have to be afraid.

At that time, Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang, will just find another excuse to deceive the people.

"Maozhong, I have yours!" Liu Fangliang walked over and patted Chen Zilong on the shoulder, while Chen Zilong cupped his hands at Liu Fangliang and Du Yinxi and said, "What the humble post proposes is just a temporary benefit, but the people should not be bullied. Go to Wuchang Whether the empress of the city can provide enough food for the accompanying people can only be operated by blocking the platform."

"My official's acceptance of your words is not just to deceive the people. Although only [-] shi of grain arrived here, I have already stored countless grains in Changsha, Baoqing, Hengyang and other prefectures for several months. Before I came to Wuchang , and ordered the governments to quickly adjust the grain. Now this is only a batch, and the follow-up should not be less than hundreds of thousands of grains. It is not only for the use of the army, but also for the hungry people in various places. After Wuchang, Grain will also arrive in Wuchang City one after another, but I don't avoid worrying that the people will cause trouble. I only lament that this was once a grain-producing area, but now it has fallen to the point where starvation is everywhere. This is a mistake for this official!"

After Du Yinxi finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Liu Fangliang, Chen Zilong and others were all silent, and they couldn't help secretly admiring Du Yinxi's foresight. After all, Chen Zilong's suggestion was just a good strategy to deal with it for a while, and Du Yinxi had already foreseen a few days ago that the northern part of Huguang would be in trouble. What is the most urgently needed material for this mansion? Even when Zuo Liangyu was in trouble in Huguang, he had already started stockpiling food in several mansions in the south of Huguang.

"The Earl understands why His Majesty promoted you to be the Governor of Huguang. It can be seen that the wiseness of the current Holy Majesty, even though he is far away in Nanjing, still has a clear understanding of you and me!"

When Liu Fangliang said this, Chen Zilong also bowed to Du Yinxi again.

Du Yinxi just smiled slightly, and continued to move forward with a group of teams. From this, all the officials, soldiers, people, and beasts continued to march towards Wuchang City quietly.

Along the way, more and more refugees and people followed, not only refugees, but also wild dogs and wolves. I don't know when these animals no longer fear people.

At this time, Wuchang City was refurbished after Li Yan arrived. Although it was not as bustling and prosperous as it used to be, people began to come and go in and out of the city.

Although they are ragged, they can also exchange some money from Chuangjun by selling wild vegetables and fruits.

Right now, Chuangjun is no different than when he was a bandit in the past, and he also knows that once he occupies a place, he needs to maintain the stability of this place, not to mention that Li Yan is in charge of the entire Chuangjun now.

Therefore, although Wuchang City has been occupied by the Chuang army, the Chuang army did not do anything to disturb the people, and even because the slogan of not paying food when the Chuang king came has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is easier for the people at the bottom to accept the Chuang army.

Naturally, it is not surprising that common people trade in the city.

Accompanied by Liu Tiren and others, Li Yan went to the top of Wuchang City. Looking at Yichuan Tobacco outside the city, he only felt confused about the way forward.

Although Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, had passed on the oral order of Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial court welcomed the Chuang army to join the Ming Dynasty and attack the Qing army together.

But the long-standing disappointment with the Ming court made it difficult for Li Yan to know whether the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty would remain stubborn and stubborn, so Li Yan did not know whether the upcoming governor of Huguang, Du Yinxi, could handle it. It is good to lead the Chuang army to join the imperial court, and whether it can even prepare for the future fight against the Qing army.

This is also the reason why Li Yan proposed that important ministers in the court or even prestigious ministers be in charge of appeasement. After all, in Li Yan's view, it is more considerate of the overall situation and not just for his own self-interest. .

Li Yan did not expect that the imperial court sent the little-known Du Yinxi, and he was also a Huguang local official who had just been promoted to Governor of Huguang.

If it wasn't for the commander of Jin Yiwei, Wu Mengming, who has been staying in Wuchang these days and conveying the concern of His Majesty Zhu Youjian at any time, Li Yan would even think that the imperial court doesn't value his attachment of hundreds of thousands of Dashun troops.

At this time, Li Yan's younger brother Li Nian came trotting all the way: "Brother, Du Yinxi, governor of Huguang, and Liu Fangliang, Jianning uncle, who were sent by the imperial court to appease him, have arrived outside the city! But there are tens of thousands of people accompanying them!"

"He came here to appease and bring tens of thousands of people to do it. What is Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang, going to do? Let me know, pay attention to vigilance, and be careful that the people outside the city are pretending to be officers and soldiers!"

After Li Yan said that, he ordered Liu Tiren to sit in Wuchang City, and he himself led Li Nian and other hundreds of horses out of Wuchang City to meet Du Yinxi and other imperial envoys.

When Du Yinxi saw a pair of cavalrymen with red scarves appearing, he also guessed that they must have come to meet him, so he cupped his hands first.

Seeing this, Liu Fangliang bowed to Du Yinxi, and at the same time raised his head slightly excitedly, hoping to see the face of his former brother Chuangjun clearly earlier.

When Li Yan saw that Du Yinxi was wearing the first-rank crown belt, he also guessed that he must be Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang who was in charge of recruiting. The army was arrogant and negligent, but still bowed his hands humbly, which made Li Yan have a good impression of Du Yinxi.
