Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The deep-rooted existence is indeed not something that can be solved by the watchmaker. Now Chaotang is dragging his hind legs, stabbing a knife, and painstakingly showing the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. If the troubles in the south of the Yangtze River are not completely eradicated, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Besides, he also wanted to see where they wanted to go.

In other words, he wanted to see with his own eyes how crazy they were and how decisive they would be!

Before that, he will do his best as a subject.

Being let down, it's hard to get over it, and he's gone, and he, maybe... has no regrets in his heart!

Jiangnan, Nanjing.

The military reform patrols the Yushi's mansion, and it is still busy. Even though the center of gravity of the military reform has shifted, the military reform involving the entire Jiangnan is still going on vigorously.

Located in Nanjing, the Military Reform Inspection Censor's Mansion, in today's Jiangnan, has become the center of gravity of the entire Jiangnan storm, and it is also a place where various forces compete.

Of course, there is another place in the south of the Yangtze River that cannot be ignored, and that is the Nanjing Ministry of Households, which should be extremely inconspicuous!

The Zuo Shilang of the Nanjing Household Department, although this official position was high in Jiangnan in the past, it is obviously not to the extent that he can influence the overall situation in Jiangnan.

But now, this airborne Nanjing Hubu Zuo Shilang has become an existence that no one can ignore in the whole Jiangnan.

The legal power of the Ministry of Finance, coupled with a northern official business group that has now penetrated into the south of the Yangtze River, has made Hong Chengchou, who has not been serving as the left servant of the Ministry of Accounting for too long, an existence that no one can ignore in this Jiangnan.

The Household Department Shangshu Yamen was also bustling with people from the very beginning to the present day!

Although everyone knows that the foundation of the power of the Nanjing household department is not in the Nanjing household department, but when life is at stake, who dares to ignore it.

For those with ulterior motives, it is necessary to be afraid of the suppression and encirclement of them by the power and resources of the Nanjing Household Department. For those who are loyal to the country, it is necessary for the Nanjing Household Department to give them support under the current chaotic situation. After all , Just hoarding goods is enough to stump 90.00% of local government and county officials.

But today's Jiangnan is undoubtedly a group of demons dancing wildly.

The wealthy maritime merchants in the coastal area, the collusion between government and businessmen in the river area, the public opinion of scholars against Yingtian, and the Donglin party members who have lost their official careers...

Everything in the past, the south of the Yangtze River, which is the land of Daming's taxation, may have already escaped from Daming's control, just like the one-eyed stone man at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, who provoked the Yellow River to rebel against the world!

Anyone can see that the reason why Jiangnan is so corrupt and has not gotten out of control is because of two simple factors,

One army, one fortune!

There are a row of sailors in the sea, killing any pirates who dare to take advantage of the chaos. Although it is difficult for a battalion of sailors to defend the entire sea, to a certain extent, it is also for those sea merchants who rely on the sea for their livelihood. Bring great shock!

After all, no matter how strong the pirates are, no matter how rich the sea merchants are, can they be stronger than a navy with nearly [-] large and small warships?

Obviously not, therefore, a group of maritime merchants were also the fastest to persuade. After the Denglai navy arrived in the south of the Yangtze River and bloodbathed several famous pirate lairs in the sea area, the maritime merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River also disappeared instantly. Come down, at least on the surface, there is no non-stop clamor like those gentry and wealthy businessmen in other places in the south of the Yangtze River.

The word army is obviously more than one naval division. In addition to the tens of thousands of imperial guards in Nanjing, there are also dozens of military reformed guards all over the Ming Dynasty, covering and frightening the entire south of the Yangtze River like a big net.

The word for wealth is naturally the combination of the power of the household department and the government and business groups in the north. While confronting the local financial resources in the south of the Yangtze River, it is also the supply and maintenance of the existence of a large military network.

In this way, the combination of the army and the wealth has created a scene where the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is chaotic but not collapsed.

Obviously, if the situation continues, the balance of chaos but not collapse will continue until something breaks the balance.

Then, the chaos collapses, or the chaos settles down.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is clear that the factors that break this balance are far from appearing, and the situation is still balanced and anxious.

But recently, this balance seems to have tilted slightly.

In Jinhua, Zhejiang, there are several lands in Lin'an, and there are wealthy businessmen who raised righteousness. However, in just a few days, they swept through several lands, and even captured Jinhua Fucheng in one fell swoop. Suddenly, Jiangnan was in turmoil. There are signs of a resurgence.

Civil unrest in a place, in the past, is obviously not worth mentioning. Even if it is presented to the court in the capital, there will be no courtiers to discuss it.

After all, there are too many civil disturbances, and there are too many large-scale ones. The whole world is against each other. Under the situation of internal and external troubles, who cares about civil disturbances in just one place.

But now, the external troubles are at peace, and the internal troubles are being wiped out bit by bit by the army when Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong take the lead one after another.

As for Jiangnan, the chaos is not about the mutiny and civil unrest.

In this way, although the world today cannot be said to be peaceful and peaceful, it is obviously considered stable under the awe of the mighty military power.

This rare stability, the sudden civil unrest, and it is still in the Jiangnan area where the situation is barely balanced...

There is no doubt that when the news spread, it attracted the attention of the world.

Is it a prelude to the out-of-control situation in the south of the Yangtze River, or just a flash in the pan, the meanings of the two are obviously very different!

The civil unrest in the south of the Yangtze River, on the surface, is naturally in the Nanjing Military Department, but everyone knows that the current Nanjing Military Department, just like the military department in the imperial court in the capital, is almost a decoration.

Although the military reform in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet been thoroughly popularized, the influence of the Ministry of War is very little left under the spreading military reform.

Obviously, the ultimate power and responsibility for the civil unrest still has to fall on the Nanjing Inspector Censor's Mansion who was ordered by Duke Qin and who was in fact temporarily in charge of the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River.

Under such a situation, Nanjing, which has always been on the cusp of inspecting the Yushifu Yamen, has obviously attracted the attention of all parties.

But at this moment, in this south of the Yangtze River, the source of the attention of all parties is actually Huai'an Hou Yanshun, who is in charge of Nanjing's inspecting Yushifu, is holding a secret letter and has been thinking for a long time.

The secret letter naturally came from Duke Qin's Mansion in the capital, and the content of the secret letter was what Yan Shun couldn't understand the most.

In the past, any military order or any secret letter would have the same meaning, that is, Jiangnan, and the situation must not get out of control.

But these secret letters, between the lines, clearly revealed that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is out of control, and it doesn't matter.

"Out of control doesn't mean out of control..."

After pondering for a long time, Yan Shun slowly put down the secret letter and whispered to himself. Combined with the news he learned recently, he seemed to understand a little bit.

At that time, the world was turned against each other, internal and external troubles, it seemed that everything was out of control, but in fact, was it out of control?

No, the reason is simply that the capital foundation to calm the out-of-control situation is still there.

Even if it is out of control, it is only for a short time. If you want to regain control, you can calm down the chaos.

Nanjing inspected the Yushifu, and temporarily controlled the soldiers and horses from all over the south of the Yangtze River by virtue of the military reform. With the military order of Yan Shun, the Nanjing inspected the Yushifu also followed suit. Zhejiang.

And when the military order arrived, several guards near Jinhua, Zhejiang also began to dispatch troops and generals, starting the battle against the bandits.

However, whether this war is over, whether to win or lose, the commanders-in-chief of both sides do not have the slightest right to decide.

The south of the Yangtze River was in turmoil due to this sudden civil unrest. When the news reached the capital, the capital, which was already in chaos and turbulent undercurrents, also added a bit of turmoil.

"If you want me to say, it is that Duke Qin intentionally allowed Jiangnan to be corrupt, so as to suppress dissidents and expand his power... Back then, our northern border was so chaotic!"

"It was attacked by the Jiannu and Liao thieves, it was attacked by the Mongols, and it was also attacked by the Caotou kings of various places..."

"It's all decided by Qin Guogong. What big things happened in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"There is also a large army sitting in the town. Why is it still corrupt after so long?"

"The situation hasn't changed at all, but it's getting more and more chaotic!"

"Brother Sun is right, maybe it's the Duke of Qin who raises his own pride and wants to hijack the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River and threaten the court..."

In the tavern, there were some scholars who spoke wantonly, several people toasted and drank freely, and said a sentence that made many diners sneer, but limited to the fame of the few scholars, they did not dare to refute and let them speak freely .

In the attic on the third floor of the tavern, Li Xiu was sitting alone, drinking alone, every sentence of heroic words was clearly transmitted to the attic, and the guards who were disguised by the side seemed to be furious.

"General, if you issue an order, I will arrest and chop those bastards right away. It's just nonsense and nonsense!"

"Okay, calm down."

Li Xiuman didn't care, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile:

"There are too many people talking nonsense, can they all be arrested and slaughtered?"

"They like to talk, let them talk, let's watch a big show!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu pursed his lips, and there was also a hint of helplessness in the depths of his eyes, which disappeared in a flash.

Strictly speaking, he didn't make any arrangements, but just followed their wishes.

They thought, then he simply made their thinking easier to do.

That's it.

It's just that they seem to be far more decisive and urgent than they expected.

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu seemed to glance casually at the waiter who was cleaning the fence outside the attic and on the corridor of the tavern.

It was really well hidden. Dongchang, even if he didn't pay attention, seemed to have been completely reborn quietly.

However, no matter how secretive the surveillance is, if he can hide it from his personal guards and Jin Yiwei, how can he hide it from his perception.

Obviously, the source of everything is in that deep palace.

From the very beginning, it was a source of deadly existence.

He tried his best to reassure her.

However, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, how can there be those who can guard against thieves for a thousand days!

His existence has affected the interests of too many people. If curses could kill people, he, Li Xiu, would have already been sent to the [-]th floor of hell, and he would never be reborn forever.

A thousand days of defense against thieves is obviously unstoppable, not to mention, she has never been at ease.

The countless people who wanted to die immediately, just showed their signs a little, and swarmed like flies smelling blood.

provoke, prod...

The situation is already, completely irreversible.

Chapter 348 Chess Players and Pieces

Bang bang bang!

Outside the attic, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Li Ruolian's voice, which was heard clearly in the attic.

"Duke Qin!"

After seeing Li Xiu's signal, the guards also stepped forward and slowly opened the attic door.

"Duke Qin, something happened."

Li Ruolian looked ugly, and cupped his hands at Li Xiu.

"Go ahead."

Li Xiu filled two glasses of wine on his own, and then took a glass and put it in front of Li Ruolian.

"Duke Qin, since the news of the civil uprising in Zhejiang reached the capital, the subordinates have discovered that the direction of the wind in the capital is not right, and it seems that it is aimed at you, Duke Qin."

"The subordinates immediately sent someone to investigate secretly. As expected, this time, someone secretly spread rumors!"

"who is it?"

Li Xiu asked casually.

"There is Song Huaidong, the official secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Ma Hongwen from the Ministry of Industry..."

Li Xiu said with a smile: "They are all young people who are leading the battle. If no one instigates them, they probably dare not!"

Hearing this, Li Ruolian couldn't help sweating from his forehead. Looking at Li Xiu who was still calm, he cupped his hands again: "My subordinates have followed these people to investigate, and they have found Dongchang!"

"Furthermore, my subordinates also found out that some courtiers have colluded with each other, intending to launch an attack on the court, to impeach Mr. Qin, you support your own self-respect, and sit back and watch the situation in the south of the Yangtze River degenerate..."

Speaking of this, Li Ruolian couldn't help but glanced at Qin Guogong in front of him again, but his expression still didn't seem to fluctuate.

"Just keep staring at it, others, let them go."

Li Xiu got up slowly, glanced at the sunset sky outside the window, then slowly got up, waved his hands and said, "Everyone is here. Just follow the governor around this city."

"It's a rare leisure, don't let it go to waste!"

The door was pushed open by the guards, Li Xiu walked out of the attic of the tavern surrounded by everyone, went straight down the stairs, and finally left the tavern and came to the noisy street of the capital.

At this time, it is at sunset, although it is the time to go home in the traditional sense, it is also the time when the night market in Beijing begins.

Since the reign of Tianqi, the world has gradually become chaotic, and it has been disturbed for more than ten years. No matter how chaotic the world is, even though the power center of Ming Dynasty has never been truly stable, the capital has become more prosperous and more prosperous amidst this chaos. Make a noise.

Although the rectification of officials in the court has never touched on the real root cause, at least in the capital, it can still be seen that it is very different from the past.

At least, under the current conditions, the courtiers of the court are still doing well.

"What month is it now?"

Li Xiu asked suddenly.

"Reporting to Duke Qin, it is now February of the second year of Jingwu."

Li Ruolian spoke out immediately.

Li Xiu nodded. He remembered that the current commotion seemed to have started when he led the army to suppress the rebellion in Shaanxi in the first half of the first year of Jingwu.

It has been almost a year since now.

In almost a year, the center of power, it seems, has undergone earth-shaking changes...
