Chapter 1068: Nineteen years of peace and quiet
In the 19th year of Wanli, various things occurred in places where all ethnic groups live in Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu provinces, including major wars, conflicts, and various positions changed many people to treat one prefecture, one prefecture, and one county as their own land. They would never allow the chieftains involved in the Ming Dynasty to hand over their own land and would be willing to take their officials in the Ming Dynasty to be a rich man.
In fact, the imperial guards only pursued several major chieftains in Sichuan, and at the farthest they reached the junction of Huguang and Sichuan, and then began to rectify and return. However, the few people who could really gather large soldiers were completely defeated and there was no possibility of rebellion.
The chieftains and chiefs everywhere also had the idea of taking chances, thinking that the army was very honest and we were the local emperors. I believe the government would not provoke weapons and they were too lazy to pay attention to this.
The government simply did not care about these fish and shrimps, but the local Han landlords and powerful people could not tolerate them to continue to exist. The place where all ethnic groups live in the three provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu is itself a small land area. Although the land occupied by the villages of each ethnic group is also barren, one more is one more, and one more slave is one more slave. No one is afraid of many families. The limelight for the suppression of rioters and bandits everywhere is prosperous. The officers and soldiers go to "righteous people". The complex scenery comes from.
During these three provinces, they were dissatisfied with peace and calm during this period, but within the scale of the world, no one thought it had been a matter of many years. In the imperial court's newspaper, it was just mentioned that the civil unrest in Sichuan was pacified.
If you don’t stay in the southwest, the civil servants would not think that this is a great contribution. It would just wipe out a few lords and suppress bandits on the territory of Ming Dynasty. "They didn’t even look down on this matter, and it was almost the same to ignore it.
But local scholars from Sichuan, Huguang and Guizhou, as well as civil servants who have been local officials for many years, know what this means. Many people are excited in their notes and reports to their superiors. "..., since then, the southwest is peaceful for generations... "The arrogant chief always starts from his dreams, and there will be great difficulties in the southwest... I feel something but dare not speak to others... I am worried today. I have been drunk for three days......
The Yang family, She family, and An family are thriving. It’s okay when the court is strong. Now the government is becoming more and more weak and the power can be used less and less. These actually separatist chiefs must have ambitions. There is no need for anyone with discerning eyes to predict and judge. There will be chaos in the future. Everyone is worried, and some even flee to Jiangnan with their families.
The presentation of the imperial guards made them realize that the authority of the imperial court was still strong. After sweeping away the ambitious Xuanfu envoys, the southwest was once again in peace.
The chieftains who had been inclined to the great Ming Dynasty received preferential treatment this time, such as the Ma family in Shizhu County, etc.
The position of the governor of Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu provinces is not permanent. After the Southwest Incident was pacified, Li Hualong must step down from his official position and look forward to his appointment.
However, this time, the merits of pacifying the southwest were very great. You should know that Li Hualong submitted a memorial to the Imperial Army to enter Sichuan to quell the rebellion. After the Imperial Army entered Sichuan, he did not be as cold or obstructed as the civil officials in other places, but tried his best to urge the upper and lower levels to cooperate, and he achieved such a great result, and his contribution was recognized by everyone.
Although this position is about to be handed over, people who are already familiar with each other in the capital came to send a private message. Li Hualong's position as Minister of War this time has not been separated, and in this situation, it is not impossible to enter the cabinet.
From the governor of Liaodong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works of Nanjing, the military affairs of Chuan and Chu, then to the capital to be the Minister of War and merge into the cabinet, this is a standard official jump.

Although this battle suffered the greatest losses in previous battles, it was rare to train, because firearms have played the most effective role in combat. This time, in the humid and rainy climates of Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu, firearms have been in many ways without any promotion.
Most of the soldiers of the imperial guards intervened in hand-to-hand combat, and fired relatively far away. Such cold weapons confronting flesh and blood can better temper elite soldiers.
As for the experience accumulated in mountain combat, it is even more rare. Sun Xin and the generals below summarized the gains and losses in detail, sorted them into booklets and sent them to the capital and Songjiang. This imperial guards have to learn from everywhere.
Since the Imperial Army regiments entered each border town, the large number of soldiers were converted into serfs, but there were also family members and model soldiers who could fight elite soldiers. The financial resources of the Imperial Army were naturally not a big problem. But the trouble is how to truly digest these people and turn them into the Imperial Army's own strength.
There are secrets everywhere, Li Tao is just to act recklessly, and those who do not follow will either be dismissed or eliminated. Don't. Xin did not use any means this time. Both sides fought together and cooperated with each other, so they naturally had the intention of sharing the same hatred of the enemy. It was naturally digested.
The benefits gained by the wealthy merchants in Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu are naturally unnecessary. According to the Shibi words of Songjiang Prefecture, this is called expanding the market and gaining channels. It turned out that the chieftains had to work together, and now they can directly open a semicolon there to conduct distribution and transactions, which really brings too much profit.
What the Sanjiang system can bring to them, they all see and gain, and they are also strong support for the Sanjiang system's existence in Sichuan and Chu.
For the wealthy merchants in the southwest, the most important thing is not the above, but to experience some tools from the Sanjiang system's work style. Originally, when they came to them, doing business was to find relationships, compare prices, and talk about relationships. I never thought that there was a Sanjiang system like this.
This method is actually not the new business philosophy of the Sanjiang system, but if I don’t buy my tools, then I will be defeated and forced to buy it. This land is not my market. After I build it down, it will be my market. Sichuan goes westward and has business dealings with many Mongolian and Tibetan tribes. Can this strategy be used?
There are so many private soldiers in the Sanjiang system, and we are rich and we don’t lack people. Why can’t we still do it? The wealthy chiefs in Tibetan have a lot of gold, silver and livestock...,………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Xu Guo, a major bachelor of the cabinet, retired, and this news is not a big deal. This bachelor is not old enough to retire and return home.
According to the practice of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli would reward him and then make sure that the successor of this bachelor is the one who is most interested in. However, there seems to be no suspense about this now. Li Hualong, who was originally outside the vision of the big family, got this prize.
The focus of the Ming Dynasty center is on the cabinet assistant Shen Shixing. Shen Shixing is quiet and peaceful. He doesn't cause trouble when he is in office. He is very respectful. By the 19th year of Wanli, the palace has already released the wind. Shen Shixing has been doing it for too long and is old, so he should go back to retire.
Everyone understands the meaning of this Feng very much. The old man has been in this position for too long. If you know the interest, go down by yourself...
However, no matter how peaceful or quiet a person is, he has been in the position of the cabinet for almost ten years. He is the civil servant in the world. Compared with his predecessor, he is really free. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, everything in the world is subordinate to him. The credit is his and the fault is his.
The victory of the imperial guards in previous wars. The improvement of financial resources in Ming Dynasty and the improvements in the financial situation have been more and more profitable. These victory and improvements are not in line with the past. In fact, they are not exchanged for squeezing the interests of the gentry. They are actually very happy and no one can blame them.
The seat of the palace is really comfortable. The husband has no power for a day, and Shen Shixing is really reluctant to let go. Therefore, he only cannot see the hints given by the palace.
Now that Emperor Wanli is tired of politics, as long as he takes care of everything in this position, Emperor Wanli may not be in a hurry to rush him to step down.
However, when the situation has reached this level, it is not that I will not step down if I can’t step down. Shen Shixing will not give in, and Wang Xijue, the second assistant behind him, still doesn’t make a promise?
In August, Sichuan was still fighting, and the capital was not peaceful. It was still the same as the old rules of political struggle. The censor submitted a memorial to impeach him. He was the result of being a supporter for so many years. No matter how cautious he was, the result was that he was the person in charge of the world's affairs. There were always mistakes to find.
At first, the censor was scolded by the palace and directly opened the grass and left the capital. He was demoted and severely punished. Everyone was about to shrink their heads, but the demoted censor was demoted and demoted to Taiyuan Prefecture as the prefect. The situation is no longer as good as a few years ago. Qinggui was in the capital. It was a good place to go out to be a local official.
The so-called favorable thing is that it is difficult to get promoted by just cursing and asking for fame. Now, the one whom this Long Live Despise most is such a person. But if you have any achievements or real things to do, you will remember it heavily in the emperor's heart, and you will be able to control it when you are promoted.
In addition, why did Wang Xijue become the first candidate for the auxiliary? It was not that he took the initiative to ask the commander to supervise the Eastern Expedition Army, which gave him the trust of Emperor Wanli, and he did not want Li Hualong, who was originally not in the central sequence, but now he is also a popular candidate to join the cabinet.
The whereabouts of this censor suddenly understood the court's attitude towards Shen Shixing. Someone even found out that the censor was originally a disciple of Wang Xijue.
Note that at the beginning of the political struggle between the DPRK, the families were all covered up, so that people around the world could not judge the cause and effect, and they would only break up later. This time, the secrets were made so early, which was obviously a direct and intense heat.
Suddenly, it was such a fierce time. Everyone was caught off guard, but they immediately understood and it was time to bet on the team.
Shen Shi was calm, but no matter how calm he was, he was the prime minister for ten years. His disciples and former officials occupied many good positions. There were so many people and so many officials in the world that they had no reason to eat, but there was no time to wait and see or lead. Those who could submit memorials were all actions and began to attack Khan and impeach.
For a time, all the matters of Shen Shixing were detected, from somewhere to somehow ineffective water disaster relief, to the fact that the Qin Niang was indulging in love with her.
There were crowds of people, but everyone was concerned about the attitude of Emperor Wanli. Then Emperor Wanli stopped going to court and did not express his attitude at all. However, news came out in private. Emperor Wanli sent an internal official to ask Shen Shixing privately if there were any such things. If there were any, they would be corrected if there were no, they would be encouraged.
Before he could send someone to ask if he had asked, he would have known the problem if the news was released. The attack on Shen Shixing was immediately fiercer. Just like the growth of such things, Shen Shixing's disciples and former officials, and officials of Shen Shixing, also began to stand up and "expose".
Shen Shixing lived alone on the festival and did not make any mistakes as an assistant, but he could not do anything without faults. It is easy to make mistakes and pain points. If someone is looking for the root cause, it is also troublesome. Shen Shixing's officialdom has been ups and downs for decades, and this is still clear about this matter. On September 16, 19th year of Wanli, Shen Shixing suddenly got infected with cold at home. After several days of recuperation, he sighed to his relatives and friends that he was old, lacking energy, and had no system in the center, and was afraid that he would delay the world's affairs. On September 23, Shen Shixing submitted a letter to request his retirement to return home.
The next thing was quite common. Shen Shixing submitted a letter to resign, and Emperor Wanli issued an edict to persuade him to stay. After October, Shen Shixing was still allowed to retire and return home. Emperor Wanli gave Shen Shixing generous rewards to Shen Shixing as the top assistant to the previous cabinet, and it can be regarded as a preferential treatment.
Then, naturally, Wang Xijue’s merits and abilities are far away from others, and the ministers are recommended for granted by him, and Emperor Wanli is sure to be accurate...………………
Wang Tong has a feeling that the older he is, the bigger the world will be, because as more and more information comes into contact with, many foreign news also come to see it.
For example, in June of the 19th year of Wanli, Myanmar invaded Yunnan and was repelled on the borders of Yongchang and Tengchong. Unexpectedly, a country like Myanmar still had such courage. However, as he deepened his understanding, Wang Tongfan was surprised. Myanmar is still a domineering place in Yunnan. Countries like Siam are often invaded and robbed by Myanmar. There were several conflicts with Daming, but they were all repelled.
This incident was an episode for Wang Tonglai. Zhai Xiu'er was pregnant, and Song Chanchan's belly became bigger and bigger. This was the only thing that Wang Tong had to worry about. In addition, the first batch of sugar from Luzon was shipped to Songjiang Prefecture. In addition, there were various goods, spices, gems, precious hardwoods from Southeast Asia, and even selected Nanyang women, all of which were sold in Songjiang Prefecture.
When a huge amount of goods came to Songjiang Prefecture, they would bring huge profits to merchants. Although they had agreed on how to share the profits at the beginning of the year, they had to come and check the goods and communicate with each other.
