Du Yinxi's New Year was not a comfortable one.
Originally, he had surrendered Li Guo and Gao Yigong's troops had left an excellent impression in the emperor's mind, but trouble broke out in Changsha right after.
According to a report from the prefect of Changsha, an army of tens of thousands suddenly arrived at Changsha Prefecture.
Although they did not attack the city, the posture was very scary.
The prefect of Changsha requested the governor to quickly send troops to assist.
If the Changsha prefect had not falsely reported military information, the problem would have been serious.
Nowadays, in troubled times, it is not uncommon for thousands of bandits to break out in various prefectures and counties, but the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of troops is too rare.
Of course, this army cannot be the Qing army.
The Qing army has already returned to Shaanxi and Henan for the New Year.
It is also unlikely to be the left army.
When Zuo Liangyu launched a rebellion, Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong suddenly rebelled under Du Yinxi's arrangement.
With the cooperation of Yuan Jixian, Huang Degong and others, all the battalions of Zuo Liangyu's direct line were wiped out, while the non-direct line battalions were disbanded and reorganized.
There was no possibility of escaping to Changsha.
Then there is only one possibility left.
This army that suddenly appeared in Changsha is the remnant of the Shun army that was defeated in Jiugong Mountain.
Although Li Zicheng died, most of his generals were still there.
These people did not want to surrender to the imperial court, so it was completely reasonable for them to transfer to Changsha.
But this is enough to give Yinxi a headache.
Send troops to suppress it, it will probably be a bloody battle.
If you don't send troops to suppress it, you will be accused of inaction.
It is really difficult for him to be the governor of Huguang.
Du Yinxi was naturally in a bad mood when encountering such a troublesome incident during the Chinese New Year.
He quickly summoned Jin Shenghuan, Ma Jinzhong and others to analyze and discuss, hoping to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
Jin and Ma were living a happy life in their respective mansions, but they were suddenly called to the governor's Yamen by Du Yinxi.
Although they didn't say anything, they felt resentful in their hearts.
Du Yinxi didn't know what the two of them were thinking, so he explained the situation to himself.
"What do you two think I should do?"
Jin Shenghuan chuckled: "Dujunmen, General Yimo will see that these thieves are really obedient.
It doesn't matter.
Dujunmen can just send people to appease him.
Even a tiger's army of hundreds of thousands is willing to be appeased.
How many of them can be appeased?"
What can the defeated generals still have to hold on to?"
Ma Jinzhong also said: "Yes, block the military gate.
If there is a war during this Chinese New Year, the soldiers will have to mutiny.
It is better not to engage in war."
This time, their attitudes were surprisingly consistent.
In fact, it is easy to understand.
After all, if Du Yinxi really wants to send troops to suppress the bandits, he must be led by Jin and Ma.
No one wants to have to do this hard work during the Chinese New Year.
As for what they said about fear of causing soldiers to mutiny, it was half true and half false.
It is easy for the two of them to overwhelm the soldiers with their prestige, but it is certain that the soldiers have resentment in their hearts.
Du Yinxi frowned and said, "Would it be too soft to caress directly?"
After all, the army in Changsha Prefecture has not yet shown the banner of obeying the army.
At this time, if Du Yinxi directly sent someone to appease him, it would indeed seem that the governor of Huguang was a bit soft.

"Why do you say this when blocking the army gate?
Even a mob of tens of thousands of troops can plunder a mansion.
Why bleed if there is no blood?"
Jin Shenghuan had already made up his mind not to lead troops on the expedition, so naturally he tried his best to persuade Du Yinxi to adopt the method of appeasement.
"Although I say that, I still feel that something is wrong."
Du Yinxi sighed and said: "The situation in Huguang is not only being watched by the imperial court, but also by Li Guo and Gao Yigong.
I am worried that this matter will affect them."
Ma Jinzhong came closer and said: "Li Zicheng is already dead, why should you worry about blocking the army gate?
Even if these tens of thousands of people are really the remnants of the army, Li Guo can still rebel because of it?"
Logically speaking, the only reason for Li Guo to rebel again was that Li Zicheng appeared in Changsha.
But everyone knew that Li Zicheng was dead.
Li Guo's prestige was not enough to subdue the subordinate generals.
Even if he rebelled again, he would face a chaotic situation.
In that case, why would he bother with this discomfort?
"Well, let's let the Changsha Mansion figure out the situation first.
If it is really Shunjun, I will go and recruit him later."
Du Yinxi also felt that it was not a good thing to act rashly.
What's more, Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong are also relatively resolute.
It is always not a good idea to have a tense relationship during the Chinese New Year.
Li Guo, who had arrived at Jingmen, could finally take a breath.
Jingmen City certainly cannot accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops.
Except for him and Gao Yigong's thousands of soldiers stationed in the city, the rest of the army was stationed outside the city.
The original camp outside the city was definitely not enough, so Li Guo and Gao Yigong had to organize manpower to build new barracks.
Fortunately, the soldiers had a station and were in a good mood after settling down, so they started busy with all kinds of things.
There is great strength in numbers, and everyone hurriedly waited and finally built the barracks before the New Year's Eve.
Although the temporary barracks were very crude, at least they had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
In any case, surrendering to the Ming court gave Li Guo and Gao Yigong a chance to breathe.
As for the future, we will talk about it later.
Li Guo was granted the title of Marquis Xing, but instead of rebuilding the Marquis Mansion, he directly purchased a ready-made house.
There is nothing that can be done about this.
Should Li Guo be allowed to live in a military camp during the Chinese New Year?
This house has five entrances and is the largest in Jingmen City.
It is also consistent with Li Guoxinghou's status.
At this moment, Li Guozheng and Gao Yigong were chatting in the new house.
Li Laiheng suddenly rushed into the flower hall in a panic, his eyebrows full of worry.
Seeing Li Laiheng's appearance, Li Guo's expression suddenly dropped.
"It's so unruly.
Didn't you know you were informed before coming in?"
Li Guo had always been very strict with Li Laiheng, and Li Laiheng's intrusion without notification really annoyed Li Guo.
"Forgive me, Commander-in-Chief, but I really have something urgent to report."
When Gao Yigong saw this, he quickly smoothed things over: "Haha, you two, father and son, stop being at odds all day long.
Just give me some face."
"Hmph, for the sake of your uncle Gao, I'll let you go this time.
Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Father, there are rumors in the city recently that my uncle died in the battle at Jiugong Mountain."

Li Laiheng heard the news when he first arrived in Jingmen.
At that time, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that the people were spreading lies.
But later, more and more people spread this news, and it began to spread even in the military camp.
Li Laiheng couldn't hold himself back anymore and sent someone to inquire personally.
Fortunately, after asking, I found out that the Shun army led by Li Zicheng had indeed fought a bloody battle with the Qing army in Jiugong Mountain.
According to rumors, Li Zicheng was beaten to death by a group of villagers after breaking out of the encirclement, and the rest of the Shun army fell apart.
This statement is so true that Li Laiheng cannot help but not believe it
