Although the content of His Majesty the Emperor's imperial edict was very brief, it gave Du Yinxi a general direction for his efforts. divide and conquer There are thirty-six battalions under Zuo Liangyu: Ma Jinzhong, Ma Shixiu, Wang Yuncheng, Hui Dengxiang, Wu Xueli, Zhang Yingxiang, Yang Guodong, Xu Maode, Mao Xianwen, Zhang Guangbi, Jin Shenghuan, Chang Deng, Xu Yong, Zhang Yingyuan, Xu Yuxian, Lu Guangzu, Lu Ding, Li Guoying, Xu Ensheng, Gao Jinku, Hu Yousheng, Xu Yuanren, Chang Guoan, Du Yingjin, Yin Qigui, Yu Zicheng, Duan Fengxiang, Qin Tianlu Among them, the strongest one is Jin Shenghuan.

Du Yinxi decided to start with this person first.

Jin Shenghuan was from Yulin, Shaanxi Province.

He was originally a giant bandit with the bandit name "Yidousu".

Later, he surrendered to Zuo Liangyu.

The tribe was not dispersed but completely retained its organizational structure and was still led by Jin Shenghuan.

Jin Shenghuan was not a direct descendant of Zuo Liangyu, but he was the most capable among the thirty-sixth battalion of Zuo Town.

When fighting against the Baiwang tribe of Shunjun, Zuo Liangyu relied most heavily on Jin Shenghuan.

Ma Jinzhong's strength ranks second in the 36th Battalion of Zuozhen.

This man was from Yan'an, Shaanxi, nicknamed "Hun Shiwan".

He was also a famous giant bandit in his early years.

Later, he was defeated in Shaanzhou and surrendered to Zuo Liangyu.

Coincidentally, both Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong were born as bandits and were both from Shaanxi.

Therefore, Shaanxi soldiers accounted for a large proportion of the entire Chu Town, with as many as 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers.

If he could win over these two people, Du Yinxi would have the confidence to sideline Zuo Liangyu.

It's just that both of them are gangsters, and Du Yinxi hasn't figured out how to win them over yet.

Bribing directly with money, not to mention that Du Yinxi couldn't come up with a large amount of money, even if he could come up with it, I'm afraid it would only satisfy the temporary appetite of the second general, not a long-term solution.

Xu Yi high-ranking official and generous salary Du Yinxi seems not to have this power.

Although he had obtained the emperor's secret decree, he had no authority to make promises to Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong on behalf of the emperor.

Without the king's order flag in hand, blocking Yinxi's own position was not enough to bypass He Tengjiao and directly ask Zuo Liangyu for someone.

This errand is a bit difficult.

Du Yinxi thought about it for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to him and he was ecstatic.

Since it is difficult to achieve the goal through internal means, external forces can be used.

The external force Du Yinxi needs to rely on is Bai Wang.

As Li Zicheng's general who stayed in Huguang, Bai Wang controlled the four prefectures of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chengtian, and De'an, and was eyeing Wuchang.

How can one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Zuo Liangyu was naturally extremely afraid of this.

Although no large-scale conflicts have broken out between the Shun Army and the Ming Army in the past few months, local frictions have occurred from time to time.

Du Yinxi decided to make some use of this.

"Here comes someone, prepare the sedan chair."

Huguang Governor's Yamen.

He Tengjiao was concentrating on writing the post in the study, with a woman standing on each side fanning him.

The weather was really hot at the end of June, and even the wind from the fan was full of heat.

He Tengjiao sighed, put the pen on the pen holder, and ordered a woman next to him: "Get some iced drinks."

The woman obeyed the order, while He Tengjiao lifted up his robe and sat on the official hat chair, closing his eyes and concentrating.

After getting the iced drink, He Tengjiao opened his eyes and took a careful sip.

He felt a clear chill pass from his throat to his whole body and lungs.

Comfortable, so damn comfortable At this time, a disciple came to report, and Du Yinxi, the deputy envoy of the Huguang Chasi Department, asked to see him.

He Tengjiao frowned and thought to himself that this blockage of Yinxi would cause trouble.

If he didn't stay at the Chasi Yamen in the hot weather, why would he come to the Governor's Yamen?

Although he felt very dissatisfied, He Tengjiao still had to see Du Yinxi.

He waved his hand and said: "Invite Du Zengtai in."

He Tengjiao's skill in cultivating Qi was really first-rate.

He put away his sullenness in a moment and his face was as calm as water.

"I'm going to pay my respects to Mr.

Futai."

Du Yinxi entered the room and bowed deeply to He Tengjiao, then stood with his hands tied and his head slightly bowed.

"Zhong Yan blocked Yin Xi's name and came to see me for something important."

He Tengjiao gently stroked his beard and said calmly.

"Master Futai, does he know why the imperial court only promoted Ningnan to the title of Marquis, but not Futai?"

Du Yinxi did not directly answer He Tengjiao's question, but asked instead.

He Tengjiao was simply confused by Du Yinxi's question.

Isn't this guy making fun of himself?

Who in Huguang officialdom doesn't know that He Tengjiao is already the de facto governor.

He and Zuo Liangyu cooperated very well in both civil and military affairs, and their status was as stable as Mount Tai.

But after all, he was still the governor of Huguang in name only.

As long as the court did not appoint him as the governor, this layer of paper would not be broken.

Damn it, Du Yinxi actually said it naked in front of He Tengjiao.

Could it be to humiliate him?

"The imperial court has its own purposes.

I only know how to be loyal to the king and serve the imperial court.

I have no time to think about other things."

He Tengjiao's tone was cold, and he was just about to serve tea to see off the guests.

Du Yinxi was not anxious at all, and said harmoniously: "The lower official believes that the reason why the imperial court did not give Futai an official position is because Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chengtian, and De'an have not yet recovered."

He Tengjiao snorted and said: "The four prefectures of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chengtian and De'an were not lost in my hands, so what do they have to do with me?"

What He Tengjiao said is not completely unreasonable.

Since the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has had very strict regulations on civil servants keeping their land.

If a civil servant loses his land, he must be held accountable.

Most of the time he will be decapitated, and his family will also be implicated.

Therefore, when civil servants learned that the city would be destroyed, they often committed suicide to save their families.

But He Tengjiao became governor of Huguang only after Li Zicheng captured the four prefectures of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chengtian and De'an.

These four mansions were not lost in the hands of He Tengjiao, and He Tengjiao certainly does not have to be responsible for this.

"Futai's words are wrong.

Although the four prefectures of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chengtian, and De'an were not lost to Futai, it does not mean that Futai has no obligation to take back the lost land.

From the official view below, the imperial court is very concerned about the situation in Huguang .

If Futai can regain the four prefectures, he will definitely be promoted to governor of Huguang."

After Du Yinxi said this, he stared at He Tengjiao closely.

That's easy to say He Tengjiao wanted to roll his eyes.

How could it be so easy to regain the four prefectures of Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Chengtian, and De'an?

Bai Wang was a fierce general under Li Zicheng.

With him in charge of the defense of the four prefectures, the defense was watertight.

As if he could see what He Tengjiao was thinking, Du Yinxi continued: "I have a plan to defeat the white thief."

Hearing this, He Tengjiao quickly urged, "Speak quickly."

Du Yinxi told He Tengjiao the entire plan, not forgetting to emphasize that Zuo Liangyu must personally come forward in this matter.

Unexpectedly, He Tengjiao frowned and said, "Will Marquis Ningnan agree?"

"It all depends on Futai."

Du Yinxi took a deep breath and said, "Success depends on this one move
