When the group was about to move to the martial arts performance hall, suddenly the captain outside the door came in and announced: "Master Lu, the governor of Gansu, is outside the door asking for an audience!"
Upon hearing this, Du Yinxi immediately laughed and said, "It's just the right time. Please come!"
After finishing speaking, he smiled and said to everyone in the hall: "The person who came here is Lu Daqi, the governor of Gansu. His courtesy name is Yanruo and his name is Dongchuan. He is from Shu. He will be transferred to Shu as governor of Sichuan. He will be your boss when he comes back.
boss!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
There was an official rule in the Ming Dynasty, which was to serve as an official in a different place. Since Lu Daqi was from Shu, how could he serve as governor of Sichuan? This is one of them.
Secondly, they originally thought they would work under the governor of the three sides, Du Yinxi, but just now Du Yinxi said that they were going to work under Lu Daqi!
What exactly is going on?
But even if they don't understand, things in the officialdom, especially the transfer of high-level officials, are beyond their comprehension!
When Du Yinxi, Zeng Ying and others arrived at the entrance of the lobby, they saw a civil servant being welcomed in. He was much older than him.
In fact, he is fifteen years older.
Needless to say, this civil servant was Lu Daqi, the former governor of Gansu.
At the same time, Lu Daqi naturally saw Du Yinxi, and he took the first step to clasp his fists and bow: "I've met the Governor-General, Lu Daqi!"
When Du Yinxi heard this, he immediately laughed, stepped forward quickly, and returned the same greeting: "Brother Dongchuan, you are in charge of Gansu, and you are so powerful in the Western Regions that the Tartars dare not enter the pass to plunder. I admire you!"
Lu Daqi, who was naturally humble, quickly replied: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"
Zeng Ying and others were shocked when they heard their conversation.
They did not expect that one of the two gentlemen would become a powerful figure in the Western Regions, and the other, even more incredible, would train the Jingying camp to defeat hundreds of thousands of captives!
Awesome!
Du Yinxi and Lu Daqi complimented each other as they were carried in the sedan chair, and then Du Yinxi smiled and asked Lu Daqi: "I just want to see the skills of these heroes from Shu. How about brother Dongchuan?"
Lu Daqi saw that these people seemed to have a good relationship with Du Yinxi, so he smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out they are fellow villagers. I really want to see it!"
"I've met Mr. Zhongcheng!" After hearing this, Zeng Ying and others stepped forward to pay homage to Lu Daqi.
Afterwards, everyone went to the martial arts performance hall and began to test Zeng Ying and others' practical skills!
Needless to say, they were able to leave a reputation in those troubled times, and their skills were absolutely no problem.
Even when Du Yinxi and Lu Daqi came up, they tested their military skills, and Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan also answered fluently.
Lu Daqi kept nodding his head and said to Du Yinxi enviously: "I didn't expect that the governor has so many talents under his command!"
"Hahaha..." Du Yinxi couldn't help but laugh immediately after hearing this.
However, it was a bit rude to laugh like this. He quickly stopped laughing and said to Lu Daqi: "Brother Dongchuan, these talents are all prepared for you!"
"Ah?" When Lu Daqi heard this, he was a little confused. What was going on?
When Du Yinxi saw it, he explained to him seriously: "These are all appointed by the emperor, and I went to Shu to find them. Here, here is the list, written by the emperor himself, you can read it yourself!"
Lu Daqi was a little confused after hearing this, and quickly took the list and read it.
But Zeng Ying and others standing below were a little dumbfounded.
They heard clearly what the Governor just said.
I really never expected that it would be appointed by the current emperor?!
How is this possible?
But isn’t it the fact before us? How could the Governor falsely convey the imperial edict!
This means that it is true!
These people actually caught the eye of the emperor, who appointed them!
But, how is this possible?
This is absolutely impossible...
Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan and others, especially Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai, were just servants, but they were appointed by the emperor. Even if they heard it from the governor himself, they wanted to believe it, and they had every reason to believe it was true.
However, rationally, everyone told them that this was absolutely impossible!
So, they were confused!
Lu Daqi was also quite surprised. After quickly reading the list, he found that the seal on it was indeed written by Emperor Chongzhen.
Raising his head, Lu Daqi still had doubts, so he looked at Du Yinxi, wanting to ask for clarification.
Du Yinxi didn't wait for Lu Daqi to ask the question, he already knew what Lu Daqi would ask, so he explained to him with a smile: "The officialdom in Shu is already rotten. Especially now under Chen Shiqi's rule, the military preparedness is even more relaxed. Once
If you are invaded by bandits, your life will definitely be ruined! Therefore, the emperor will transfer you back to Shu to serve, and hand-picked these heroes to be sent to you. You are all Shu people, you have to protect your home and country, there is no way out, you must do it
Okay, do you understand?"
In fact, ever since Lu Daqi received the order to leave Gansu and take up the post of governor, he has always had a question: why did the emperor transfer him, a Shu native, back to his hometown to serve as the highest military and political officer? This was against the rules!
Now he finally understood that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen made an exception was precisely because he was from Shu.
After understanding this, Lu Daqi immediately thought a little more, then his expression changed and he quickly asked: "Will the bandits enter Sichuan again?"
Du Yinxi listened and said seriously: "Now after the Battle of Jizhou, the north has been initially settled. The emperor has ordered Master Bosun of Jizhou to lead troops to sit in Kaifeng, and has sent Yongwei Battalion Sun Yingyuan's troops to station in Kaifeng, and is still there.
The people under the command of the Governor of Baoding were reorganized, and they planned to move forward together to suppress the bandits in the south, and strive to eliminate the bandits in the south. However, under such pressure, the bandits are likely to jump westward into Sichuan. As the military equipment in Shu is now relaxed, there will be
I am sending you to Sichuan to reorganize and prepare for war."
This was the strategy laid down by Emperor Chongzhen when Du Yinxi first left the capital.
Lu Daqi was located in such a remote place in Gansu Province. Although he read the Di newspaper, he was still alienated from the general trend of the world. After listening to Du Yinxi's explanation, he immediately realized the importance of Shu.
So, he nodded seriously and said, "That's it, I understand!"
After hearing this, Du Yinxi said to Lu Daqi: "Although Old General Qin, the loyal lord, is currently in charge of Shanhaiguan, Shizhu chieftain Ma Xianglin has returned and is here with me. When you enter Sichuan this time, you will rely on Ma Xianglin's department.
Make good use of them..."
When he said this, he pointed at Zeng Ying and others, and then continued: "Reorganize the troops and horses in central Sichuan as soon as possible. Withdraw what should be withdrawn, replace what should be replaced, and hold accountable those who should be blamed. Don't worry about the consequences. Ma Xianglin said
All my troops have been redressed and participated in the Battle of Jizhou, so they are very powerful. And I am here to watch, and if necessary, I will lead troops into Sichuan to support you!"
Now that everything was arranged properly, Lu Daqi couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He stood up quickly, clasped his fists in his hands and expressed his attitude to Du Yinxi: "Your Majesty has arranged everything properly, and I will definitely live up to my sacred mandate!"
If you only take charge, things may not be easy to do.
If nothing else, let's just say that when he went to Gansu as governor, he discovered that Gansu's commander-in-chief Chai Shihua had done many illegal things. When he wanted to punish him, he was found to have colluded with the soldiers from the Western Regions to cause chaos, which cost him a lot of energy.
Only then could the Chai Shihua rebellion be quelled.
In Shu, the She'an Rebellion, which lasted for seventeen years, was just put down in the tenth year of Chongzhen. The people's customs were strong and the government's prestige was damaged. Years of war have also led to arrogance and self-respect among military men everywhere. Lu Daqi's words are just a person's words
, I’m afraid he will have to spend a lot of energy to deal with anyone he wants to deal with.
However, things are different now. With the Baigan Army as the foundation, the people in front of us who can be used, and the Qin soldiers as the backing, we can do things without any scruples, and we can really revolutionize the military affairs of Shu.
At this time, Du Yinxi listened to Lu Daqi's statement and laughed and said: "I have been in Qin for more than half a year, and the armament consolidation here has achieved preliminary results. Everyone from all walks of life has arrived in Qin.
We have eliminated the weak and retained the strong. In the past two months, I asked them to go to Hetao to train troops. They got a lot of horses. I will also give you five hundred as a gift. How about it?"
Lu Daqi served as the governor of Gansu, so he naturally heard about the fact that the generals of the various armies were ordered by the governors of the three sides to go out to retaliate against the Mongolian tribes who had defected to Jianlu. He also vaguely heard about it. The Tumut tribe in Hetao probably did not expect it.
When something like this happened, they suffered a huge loss and the remaining troops fled eastward.
Now, I heard Du Yinxi talking about this matter with my own ears, and he also boldly sent out 500 war horses at once. This is enough to show that Du Yinxi's use of troops in the Hetao this time is probably very fruitful!
Thinking so, he felt very envious.
When he was the governor of Gansu, Chai Shihua colluded with the Western Region soldiers to invade. He didn't have many troops, so he could only use ruse, betrayal (pretend to agree and then attack), and poisoning to be defeated.
The incursions by various ministries in the Western Regions did not yield any benefits. It can even be said that after these wars, Gansu will be even poorer.
There is no way, without enough loot, war is a loss-making business!
After such a comparison, he was naturally envious of Du Yinxi's victory in raiding the Tumut tribe's lair in Hetao.
They were talking about things. Zeng Ying and others listened a lot more in a dazed state, and finally completely believed that what they just heard was true!
Realizing this, they thought that they were appointed by the emperor and would soon be able to fulfill their ambitions as the new governor of Sichuan. Needless to say, they were all overjoyed and felt that the weather was really sunny! The governor, and Zhong Cheng
You adults are all good people!
The atmosphere at the scene was naturally very good.
However, after all, good things cannot last forever. While they were still chatting, they saw a school captain hurriedly walked in and reported to Du Yinxi: "The eight hundred miles of the capital are urgent!"
