Zhu Youlang didn't know the chaos in Huguang, but at that time he was being chased by Li Chengdong, the Qing army, and his life was hanging on the line. He had no energy or strength to take care of the mess in Huguang.

Now that Li Chengdong's army has been repelled, he has no ability to counterattack for the time being, and the financial crisis at the center has been initially resolved. He can finally free up his hands to solve the problem in Huguang.

Although there are many military towns in Huguang, they are all arrogant soldiers and generals, occupying territory and levying heavy taxes. Once the army of Sanshun King goes south, it will definitely surrender more and be willing to resist less. It must be cleaned up and organized, unified dispatch, and clear out potential traitors in advance, so that those soldiers and horses can truly obey the court, and put some rest of their energy to resist. At the same time, they must also streamline the troops and reduce the burden on the people, and fight back the lost people's hearts. If these things are to be done, they cannot lack a powerful minister.

He Tengjiao, who is not enough to do anything, is definitely not competent. Who should I choose? Zhu Youlang looked at the central ministers and officials, but couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while. The Ming Dynasty really lacked talent at this moment!

Chen Bangyan has the ability and experience in war leadership, but his qualifications are too shallow, so it is difficult to convince the public by transferring him to Huguang as governor. Moreover, he is currently working hard to rectify the ills of the garrison in Guangxi, as well as the reorganization of the garrison soldiers and the reclaiming and distribution of military fields. He cannot get rid of his own.

The cabinet assistant Zhai Shizuo is a good candidate. Needless to say, loyalty is necessary, and he has qualifications and some ability. What is cheated is that he was influenced by Confucianism's idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and was too stupid and loyal. He has always had strong hatred and prejudice against the remaining troops of the rebel army who ruined the Ming Dynasty and harmed the life of Emperor Chongzhen. On this point, he and He Tengjiao's ideas are surprisingly consistent. Loyal ministers are not necessarily useful. If he is sent to Huguang as the governor, he might force the Zhongzhen Camp to rebel one day. At that time, the situation in Huguang will become even more uncontrollable. Zhu Youlang is really in tears, so Zhai Shizuo is not good either.

There is really no one to find in the central government! After thinking about it, Zhu Youlang is still more appropriate to let the governor of Hubei Du Yinxi be the governor of Huguang.

Du Yinxi's courtesy name was Zhongyan. He was a Jinshi in the Chongzhen year. He was from Wuxi. During the reign of King Fu, he served as the governor of Huguang and was appointed as the governor of Hubei. When he arrived at the Tang Dynasty, he served as the right deputy censor, and was the governor of military affairs and governor.

Although Du Yinxi and He Tengjiao were both civil officials, they were still a little different. They were also rare people who were practical in the scholars and had a big mind. When he was an official, he used his hometown soldiers to defeat the thieves and kill the thieves, and became famous for his knowledge of the army. However, in Zhu Youlang's view, Du Yinxi's mind was highlighted in dealing with the rest of the Chuangshi tribe.

Since the civil unrest began in the early years of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was the backbone of the bandits of various tribes. Although he was defeated repeatedly, he could never get rid of the roots. After Hong Chengchou left the pass, the Central Plains were empty, allowing him to take the opportunity to grow bigger, and finally led to the Jiashen disaster! However, after Li Zicheng's death, the tribes did not form a new leadership core and gradually disintegrated, and each found a way out, either surrendering to the Qing Dynasty or becoming a bandit.

The troops of the Chuang army had a certain combat power and had a great influence. They became a force that could not be ignored between the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially a troops led by Li Guo and others, claiming to be 300,000. Although they were defeated, they could not be underestimated. After Li Zicheng's death, they suddenly arrived in Lizhou. He Tengjiao overestimated his strength and was defeated in the battle with him.

Only Du Yinxi had a unique vision and advocated the sanction of the bureau and went there in person to facilitate this matter. He recruited the remaining troops of Dashun as Zhongzhen Camp. Later, he was appointed as the Right Minister of the Ministry of War and the Right Censor of the Censor of the Ministry of War to generalize his army. They avoided their throwing into the arms of the Qing army and strengthened the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

However, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, could not understand the reality of the dilemma. He just kept stumbling with the rest of the troops in the army, but did not know that the Qing army was taking advantage of the fisherman.

Zhu Youlang believes that Du Yinxi will not forget Li Chuang's actions. What is commendable is that he was able to come up with the overall situation and deeply realize that the strongest enemy at present is the Manchu Jiannu. The stay and departure of the rest of the Chuang tribe will profoundly affect the development of the battle situation! The Qing Dynasty also attaches great importance to them, and has already collected a lot. After careful calculations from Li Guo and other tribes, there are at least 50,000 soldiers. Although they are not as good as the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Mongolia, they are also quite powerful. If they turn to the Qing Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable!

If Du Yinxi is used more, there is basically no need to worry that the remaining troops of the rebel army will turn against the Qing army. At that time, the Thirteen Towns of Huguang will be rectified. After King Sanshun goes south, he will not be defeated at once.

After finalizing the candidate, Zhu Youlang did not drag on it, and wrote two envoys himself, one issued an order to promote He Tengjiao to the Minister of War, and was assisting the emperor in the industry; the other was promoted to Hubei Governor Du Yinxi as the governor of Huguang, and took office after entering the court. After drafting the imperial edict, he copied it in regular script and stamped two jade seals "Yongli Emperor's Treasure" and "Imperial Book Seal". He read it twice and confirmed that it was correct. Then he handed them to the commander of the guard Lu Shiren, solemnly reminded: "You have gone to Huguang to publish your intentions this time, which is very important to the court's plan, but if there is any mistake, you should come to see you."
