After the court broke up, Yang Tiansheng looked for Du Yinxi, stretched out a thumb to praise him, and said angrily: "You are so good at Du Gong, you are a martial artist's knife, and the mouth of a literati. Yang has learned about it today!"

Yang Tiansheng jokingly said, "If you change your career and go to the storytelling and performing, I will definitely give you a large ingot of silver as a reward!" (Note: The government treasury silver is usually a large ingot of silver weighing 25 taels of silver)

With Du Yinxi's status, only a few people dared to talk about him in person.

Du Yinxi laughed and said, "It seems that I am not afraid of losing my job in the future!"

The story of Guo Xin he told was in the third year of Yuanhe in Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, that is, the winter of 808 AD, when the snowstorm was everywhere. It was the most tragic moment in the history of the border guards of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions: the last troops of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, that is, the last remaining troops of the Anxi Protectorate, were alone on the military fort in Kucha, and had already exhausted ammunition and food under the siege of Tubo.

General Guo Xin, with white hair, drew his sword and shouted. In the shocking shouts of killing, the yellow-faced Tang soldiers held weapons and had a final battle with the Tubo army that climbed the city. All of them were martyred and none surrendered!

Originally, the Tang Dynasty had a very successful operation of the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, Yuyang Pin came to the ground, and the colorful songs of the colorful clothes were broken. The Anshi rebellion broke out. The insuffering Tang Ting mobilized the northwest border troops to help the king to suppress the rebellion. The Anxi, which guarded the Western Regions, and the border soldiers under the Beiting Jiedushi were also transferred to the mainland in large numbers.

Tubo took advantage of the opportunity to invade and sent troops to capture the Hexi Corridor, cutting off the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions.

Under this unfavorable situation, Guo Xin and Li Yuanzhong, who guarded Beiting, joined forces to defend the four towns of Anxi. Even when they were trapped, they tried to contact the court far away in Chang'an and kept sending troops to Chang'an.

In 781, a messenger finally returned to Chang'an. He had lost contact with the Western Regions, which had been missing for nearly 16 years, and once again contacted the court.

Only then did the court realize that the country that had been completely lost was still in the west of Yumen Pass. The Anxi Protectorate became an enclave of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion. The court and the people were all moved by their spirit of "sacrificing themselves to serve the country". Even Emperor Dezong of Tang himself admired it and issued an edict to inspire the soldiers of the Western Regions, and appointed Guo Xin as the Protector of Anxi, the Jiedushi of the Four Towns of Anxi, and was awarded the title of Prince of Wuwei.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty itself was unable to protect itself. It had just recovered from the Anshi Rebellion. There were separatist vassal states inside and Tubo eyed him. Apart from spiritual encouragement, there was no strength to support the Western Regions!

In desperation, Guo Xin still had to stick to it independently.

Under the continuous attack of the Tubo people, in 808 AD, the Tang army in the Western Regions had only the last city that could be defended - Kucha.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Iron Blood County Prince Guo Xin guarded the Western Regions alone for 53 years!

In fact, he can give up. As long as he abandons his army and flees, he returns to Chang'an, no one will accuse him of being greedy for life and fear of death.

He can be rich and prosperous, and as long as he surrenders, the Tubo people will make him king!

The army he led had no supplies or military sources. The green young man from the Han family who followed Guo Xin out of seclusion had become a white-haired veteran, but he still guarded the last piece of land of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions!

In the last battle, a lonely city was in a thousand miles, and the soldiers of the three armies were all white, and they were so energetic that they went to their deaths with a sigh!

From then on, the Han family's Central Plains dynasty ordered the Yumen Pass to stop, and the flags of foreign kings changed from the western region, and the figures of the Han family were no longer visible.

Today, the Ming Dynasty court formed a joint force, and the army went west to Yumen Pass, repeating the old lands of the Han and Tang dynasties, vowing to plant the Han flags all over the Tianshan Mountains!

If Xinjiang can be occupied, the first advocate Du Yinxi will be able to leave his name in history.

However, Du Yinxi's mind was very clear. He said to Yang Tiansheng: "You can't be used as food. If you say a thousand words, no matter how loud the slogans are, your achievements will be given to the court!"

"This war is about money and food. It depends on soldiers to go to battle. Our Ming Dynasty wants money and people, but the Ming Dynasty can do things that cannot be done by the Ming Dynasty and the court!" Du Yinxi bowed.

The Western Regions are far away and supply is not easy. The reason why the Ming Dynasty dared to launch an attack on the Western Regions is indeed:

Our family has money--the treasury is full and the finances are developed.

Since the Jiashen Incident, over the past ten years of rest and recuperation, the political situation of the Ming Dynasty has been stable and economic development. In addition to the rising national tax revenue, the financial industry has also developed rapidly. The power to support war is not only the country's own financial resources, but also the power of finance can be used. For example, issuing special government bonds, which can raise a large amount of war funds in a moment.

Then there are people - the population exceeds 100 million.

Due to a series of welfare measures, China's population is increasing. Every year, a large number of babies are born, forming a baby boom. We must prepare for the future and seize the space for future survival for our children and grandchildren. Among them, although the old land in the Western Regions is not very good, land is land.

Land classification taxation was implemented, gentry paid food together, and all the hidden population came out, and the population of Ming Dynasty soared.

With enough manpower, it is much easier to do anything. With the order of the court, the first 100,000 immigrants were ready and the corresponding food and fodder were ready. This was a wave of immigration that could leave at will!

The court sent elite soldiers and generals!

Du Yinxi personally arrived in Gansu, representing the court to worship Yang Jingxin, a famous general in Sichuan, as the commander, and Li Dingguo, one of the four generals of the Demon Family, as the deputy general. Both of them are famous generals. Needless to say, there are also the brave generals Bai Wenxuan, Liu Fangliang, Ma Weixing, Ma Jinzhong, Qi Sansheng and others. They formed a powerful combination, leading an army of Mongolian cavalry and Han men!

There are 50,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, 100,000 migrant workers, and 100,000 prepared to immigrate, totaling 300,000 troops!

Tianshan Mountain is in Xinjiang. The Ming army, that is, China, entered Xinjiang. They wanted to occupy Xinjiang and restore the former land of the Han and Tang dynasties!

Du Yinxi was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu as the cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty and the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Hall, and was responsible for logistics matters.

Since Du Yinxi, the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu was established. This position mainly governed Shaanxi and Gansu. It has a small population and is not strong in economic strength. However, it plays a key role in the stability of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. Especially the people, money and property of the army in the west are transported here, which is definitely a contribution.

The second governor of Shaanxi and Gansu after Du Yinxi was Yao Sixiao. He was originally appointed as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but he was favored by the court for a slutty word. It was really anomaly.

Yi Zhen, Annan, Kedah, asked Yao Sixiao to send a navy to help the battle. Yao Sixiao said, "If I don't send someone, I'll be raised by a bitch!"

This sentence was passed to the court. The court did not say that it had a general view of the situation, which reflected the spirit of support from one side and all directions. Therefore, it was commended, which was a later story.
