In this negotiation, Du Yinxi was undoubtedly the active party.
Sure enough, three days later, Li Guo sent someone for peace talks again.
The person sent was Li Laiheng.
After the last negotiation, both parties have a bottom line and there is nothing to hold back.
It's just that the title Li Laiheng proposed last time was changed to a title of knight.
Although it is only a word difference, it is a world of difference.
This was the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty that he was granted the title of king.
And knighthood is very rare and common.
Don’t talk about the far ones, let’s talk about the nearby ones.
Aren’t Gao Jie, Huang Degong, and Zheng Zhilong all knighted?
Even the rebellious Zuo Liangyu was made a marquis by the court before he started the rebellion.
This condition is not excessive.
Of course, it was impossible for Du Yinxi to agree to Li Laiheng immediately.
This kind of matter still had to be reported to the court.
However, his attitude was much calmer than last time.
To him, this was just a formality.
The Holy One has no reason to refuse a tiger's request for knighthood.
A title is exchanged for hundreds of thousands of troops, which is really worth it.
While waiting for the emperor's will, there was not much that both sides could do.
Fortunately, Li Guo maintained considerable restraint and did not harass the people on a large scale.
When the imperial edict reached Huguang, Du Yinxi set up an incense table to receive the edict.
The emperor granted Li Guo's request and granted him the title of Marquis of Xing and the title of Marquis of Ying.
Marquis is the highest level of title other than kings and dukes.
Huang Degong, Zheng Zhilong, and Gao Jie are currently all marquises.
The emperor conferred the title of Marquis on Li Guo and Gao Yigong, obviously for the purpose of balancing a bowl of water and maintaining the balance among the various military honors.
As the saying goes, you don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality.
If you can't find a balance in the matter of title, it will be very troublesome to favor one over the other.
Du Yinxi immediately told Li Guo the good news.
Li Guo also formally surrendered as promised before.
Du Yinxi was in a good mood after settling the recruitment matter.
He held a banquet in Jingzhou City and invited Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Li Laiheng and others to the banquet.
Li Guo and others were also very generous and only brought their own soldiers into the city for the banquet.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, when the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, Li Guoban joked: "I wonder where Du Junmen plans to place Mr."
Retaining the original organization of the Shun Army and being directly led by it was a prerequisite for Li Guo to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
However, placing hundreds of thousands of troops at one go is not an easy task.
Just say that after Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, he was placed in Gucheng, and he complained every day that the territory was too small.
Li Guo's hundreds of thousands of troops are obviously more than Zhang Xianzhong's back then.
If they are not properly arranged, Li Guo will inevitably show off his face to Du Yinxi, and it will be difficult for anyone to do so.
Du Yinxi cleared his throat and said, "I want to assign Jingmen to Marquis Xing for garrison.
I don't know what Marquis Xing wants."
"Jingmen" Li Guo raised his eyebrows, looking very surprised.
Jingmen is located in the north of Jingzhou and is the north gate of Jingzhou.
Its location is extremely important.
Why did Du Yinxi leave such an important place to himself?
"Yes.

Xinghou is brave and good at fighting.
Such an important town should be guarded by Xinghou."
Purely in terms of wealth, Jingmen was not bad, and Li Guo had no reason to refuse.
It can be heard that Du Yinxi wanted Li Guo to lead his troops to defend Jingzhou.
Now that the Shun army has surrendered to the Ming court, the only thing the Ming court is guarding against is the Qing army.
In other words, Du Yinxi stationed Li Guo at Jingmen so that when the Qing army came over in the future, Li Guo's troops could serve as a barrier to resist the Qing army's advance.
"Hmm" Li Guo did not accept the offer, but took a sip of wine and praised: "Good wine, good wine.
The wine in Dujunmen is strong enough, just right for Li's taste."
This old fox wants me to be his vassal.
It's a beautiful idea.
Li Guo fought against the Qing army led by Azig.
In his opinion, the Qing army was not as powerful as they boasted, but its strength was definitely good, at least stronger than the average Ming army.
Fighting with such a powerful army will cause serious damage to the strength of the army.
Since Li Guo had made up his mind to rest and reorganize his army by surrendering, he naturally did not want to risk his life for the Ming court and the Qing army.
In the future, the Shun army will fight against the Qing army and avenge their dead brothers, but not for the Ming court.
"Haha, this daughter Hong Benfu still has more than a dozen jars.
If Marquis Xing likes to take a few jars, just take them."
Du Yinxi was very cunning, and when he saw Li Guocha changing the subject, he didn't force himself.
He took advantage of the situation and said: "It's time to step up military training after this new year.
Looking at the posture of Donglu, it is very likely that they will invade Huguang."
Li Laiheng, who was eating his own food, heard this and put down his chopsticks and said: "What are you afraid of?
If the Tatars dare to come, we will teach them a lesson and let them have a taste of the power of the Han family."
"Leghorn" Li Guo turned his head and shouted sharply.
"Haha, General Li is quick to talk, young and heroic, no problem, no problem."
Du Yinxi stroked his beard and said: "General Gao attacked the cities in Henan and Beizhili and defeated the Eastern captives.
It proved that the Eight Banners had less than ten thousand people and were invincible.
It was all lies they boasted.
As long as we are sincere and united , Donglu is just like a worm, nothing to worry about."
Du Yinxi's words were obviously meant for Li Laiheng.
However, Li Laiheng had a young mind and responded directly: "It's a good idea to block the army.
We Han people just like to fight among ourselves, and the Tatars seized the opportunity to defeat each other.
If we are twisted into a rope, the Tatars will have no chance.
This time If the Tatars dare to invade again, I will be the first to refuse.”
Gao Yigong frowned when he heard this.
Du Yinxi provoked Li Laiheng so much that he didn't know what to say.
If he said a few more words, he would take over the job of stationing at Jingmen and guarding the north gate of Jingzhou for the Ming Dynasty.
"Ahem, Leghorn, you drank too much.
Go out and sober up."
Gao Yigong winked at Li Laiheng, and then he reluctantly stopped and cupped his hands at Du Yinxi and said, "I'm going to make Du Junmen laugh, let Rong go out for some fresh air."
"General Li, please help yourself."
Du Yinxi narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
After Li Laiheng left, the two sides exchanged some indifferent words, but basically no substantial progress was made.
When the banquet was over, Li Guo's residence had not yet been decided.
After Li Guo and Gao Yigong left, Wu Han said worriedly: "Looking at the way this tiger pushes back and blocks, I'm afraid he has some reservations.
It's better to be careful when blocking the army gate."

Du Yinxi raised his hand and said: "I don't think so.
A tiger has just accepted the imperial court's surrender, and it is inevitable to have scruples in his heart.
If he had agreed to lead his troops to Jingmen to garrison without hesitation just now, then I would have It will feel a little strange if you caress it.”
After a pause, Du Yinxi continued: "This matter cannot be rushed.
Let's let them station near Jingzhou for the time being.
When the imperial court's conferment and official seal arrive, there will be no reason for a tiger to shirk."
"It is wise to block the military gate, and the subordinates admire it" :
