As for how to arrange Du Yinxi and Yuan Jixian, Zhu Cixiang put a lot of thought into it.
Du Yinxi was good at handling internal affairs, and Yuan Jixian was good at training troops, especially the navy.
What Zhu Cixiang has to do is to use them according to their characteristics.
After He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu were executed, Huguang lacked a person in charge.
Huang Degong, Jin Shenghuan, and Ma Jinzhong are all military generals and obviously cannot take on this role.
In addition, none of the three people obeyed the other.
If Zhu Cixiang appointed one of them to lead the other two, he would have to explode.
Therefore, Zhu Cixiang decided to appoint Du Yinxi as governor of Huguang, which was equivalent to letting him take over He Tengjiao's position.
In addition to continuing to serve as the "Governor of the Four Provinces", Yuan Jixian also served as the Admiral Cao Jiang, responsible for all river defense matters from Jingzhou to the Yangtze River Estuary.
This is equivalent to Zhu Cixiang granting Yuan Jixian the power to comprehensively train the navy in disguise.
As for the original admiral Cao Jianghou Xun, he was transferred back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to listen.
For Zhu Cixiang, the current situation is already very critical.
Both Huguang and Shandong must be defended.
If one is not defended, it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of Nanming in history.
Of course, what is better than the original history is that he has basically eliminated Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and other forces, and the Ming Dynasty is relatively united and stable.
What Ming Dynasty needs most now is to win successive victories and give confidence to its soldiers and people through victory.
Only in this way can we gain continuous motivation in the long showdown with the Manchus.
On the morning of November 10, the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, a grand prisoner dedication ceremony was held outside the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City in Nanjing.
Zhu Cixiang wore a bright red twelve-chapter robe and took a chariot all the way from the inner palace to the Meridian Gate.
Surrounded by chamberlains and generals of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Cixiang climbed onto the tower of the Meridian Gate, overlooking all the living beings under the Meridian Gate.
Hundreds of civil and military officials were arranged on both sides, as solemn and solemn as if they were in the upper court.
But unlike before, hundreds of rebel prisoners were escorted by Han generals to kneel down outside the Meridian Gate.
Lu Zhenfei, Minister of the Ministry of War, said loudly: "Present prisoners" Afterwards, Xielu Lang led the musicians to their seats, and Si Yue knelt down to ask for the music.
Xie Lü Lang raises his subordinates, encourages people to cheer up, and composes music.
All of a sudden, the golden drums sounded and the music shook the sky.
When they were happy, Lu Zhenfei, Minister of the Ministry of War, continued: "We have ordered to quell the rebellion of He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu.
The prisoners we captured will be presented to the palace, and we will go to the city Cao for execution.
Please ask for the order."
After Lu Zhenfei said these words, it was Zhu Cixiang's turn to speak.
He had two choices, one was to pardon and release the prisoners of war to show the emperor's great grace, and the other was to issue an order to take the prisoners of war and hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment to be executed in accordance with the law.
Zhu Cixiang knew that these prisoners were all generals in Zuo Liangyu's army, and some of them were quite powerful.
But rebellion is rebellion, and rebellion is rebellion.
If these people are not punished with canonical punishments, then who will respect the laws of the Ming Dynasty in the future?
Even to kill chickens to scare monkeys, these people must die.
"Take it" Zhu Cixiang issued an order and immediately pronounced the fate of hundreds of left army generals.
After Zhu Cixiang spoke loudly, the two Han generals beside him shouted: "Take it" After that, two became four, four became eight, eight became sixteen, until 360 Han generals shouted in unison.
In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to serving as spies, the most important duty of the imperial guards was to serve as the emperor's guard of honor.
Therefore, in addition to being tall and tall, they also have loud voices, ready to sing at any time.
Three hundred and sixty people shouted "Take it" in unison, the sound was like thunder.
"I obey the decree" At this time, it was time for Ma Shiying, the Minister of Punishment, to step forward.
After receiving the order, he rushed to the left and right and ordered: "Take them all away, verify their identity, and go to Shi Cao for execution."
The presentation of prisoners to the palace was just a ceremony, but the actual execution was not here.
In the Ming Dynasty, prisoners were executed in the Western Market.
These rebel generals were all sentenced to death by the emperor.
Once their identities were verified, they would be taken to the execution ground to be punished.

Nanjing West Market has not been so lively for a long time.
Hearing that hundreds of rebel generals were going to be executed, the people in Nanjing rushed to watch the excitement, crowding the West Market to a packed house.
Because there were so many prisoners to be executed, they could only be executed in batches.
But this makes the people of Nanjing even more excited, which means they can watch it for a longer time.
The first batch of prisoners were led to the execution ground and led to kneel in front of the anvil.
The supervisor looked at the sky, and when he saw that the time had come, he threw out the red stick.
The executioners pulled out the wooden plaques stuck behind the prisoners' necks and chopped them off with their swords.
Twenty heads rolled down one after another, and the headless body fell limply to the ground.
Logically speaking, after executing a group of criminals, the executioner would splash water on the execution platform to cleanse the blood, but because there were so many criminals to be executed today, there was no need for this.
Otherwise, after splashing water and cleaning, you have to cut off a batch again, which is a waste of time.
When the heads were chopped off, the people watching screamed in surprise, followed by a burst of ecstasy.
"Good kill"
"Kill all these traitors" "The imperial court is mighty, the saint is mighty" The impact of the killings released the emotions that had been accumulated for many years among these ordinary people.
They raised their fists in the air and were very excited.
Another group of traitors were brought up, and the executioners harvested lives efficiently.
The people shouted excitedly, and before they knew it, most people's voices were hoarse.
Li Guoying was among the last batch of rebel generals to be executed.
When he was led to the guillotine, the people threw rotten vegetable leaves at him.
Li Guoying's hands were tied and he could not remove the leaves, so he simply closed his eyes and let the people throw them at him.
He quickly recalled his life in his mind.
He started as a small soldier, was valued by Zuo Liangyu, and was promoted to a personal soldier.
Afterwards, he made outstanding achievements along the way and became Zuo Liangyu's confidant general.
When Zuo Liangyu raised troops to clear the emperor's side, he responded without hesitation to support him.
Of course he understood that the so-called Qingjun side was just a cover.
The moment Zuo Liangyu raised his troops, it meant rebellion.
But he will still choose to follow Zuo Liangyu in rebellion.
Because his allegiance is only to Zuo Liangyu and not to the court.
His glory and wealth were all given by Zuo Liangyu, not the court, so he and Zuo Liangyu both prospered and suffered losses.
Not to mention that what Zuo Liangyu wanted to do was to clear the emperor's side, even if Zuo Liangyu wanted to change the dynasty and become the emperor himself, Li Guoying would not hesitate at all and would definitely persuade him to join him as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Zuo Liangyu was defeated, so all the generals who supported Zuo Liangyu should die.
If Zuo Liangyu wins, wouldn't they all be the founding heroes of the country?
As for the possibility that the Qing army might take advantage of the civil strife, it was nothing to Li Guoying.
If Zuo Liangyu really seizes the country, the worst he can do is cede a few provinces to the Qing Dynasty and create a river-wide rule.
Sadly it's all over now.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
The loser is not qualified to live in this world.
Li Guoying's life ended on November 10, the 17th year of Chongzhen
