Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Xuanfu.

One of the important towns on the Nine Sides.

However, in later generations, the name Xuanfu will fade away with the years, and it will be replaced by the seemingly inconspicuous name of Zhangjiakou.

In fact, in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhangjiakou, the name, did not exist in the important town of Xuanfu.

Until the Xuande period, some residents with the surname Zhang lived at the foot of the Great Wall of Wanquan Youwei on the northwest side of Xuanfu, and gradually formed a small town. The town was named Zhangjiazhuang after the main surname of the residents.

In the fourth year of Xuande, Wanquan Youwei commanded Zhang Wen to build a fort here and named it Zhangjiakou Fort.

Zhangjiakou, this name, officially existed in the ruling sequence of Daming.

Later, because Zhangjiakou is located in the frontier and is close to the grassland, Zhangjiakou also built the important town of Xuanfu together with other frontier fortresses.

During the Jiajing period, due to the division of the Mongolian tribes, the Altan Khan tribe had no source of supply, so the leader of this tribe, Altan Khan, wrote to the Ming court many times, asking the two sides to exchange information.

Finally, during the Longqing period, the court approved the policy of mutual market, and from then on, the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian peoples began to trade on the border.

The location of the mutual market is in the small fortress of Zhangjiakou.

As a result, this small fort, which was not very conspicuous, has also developed rapidly under the mutual market between the two countries. It has transformed from a military center to a commercial center that can be said to be the entire Ming Dynasty!

The rise of Shanxi merchants is naturally inseparable from this family.

After all, without the mutual market organized by the imperial court, and without the opening opened by the imperial court, secretly reselling supplies would only be petty theft, and would not be a big deal.

The court personally opened this opening, and with the passage of time, interest groups naturally formed one by one.

Going up and down, Zhangjiakou now seems to have become the world of Jin merchants, and the so-called prohibition of the court is in name only here.

Every moment, the caravans in Zhangjiakou that shuttled through Daming and the grasslands were like flowing water, and they almost never stopped.

And it is also obvious where these caravans' full load of materials will eventually be sent.

The rich and prosperous in the Ming Dynasty lacked everything, but the Mongolian tribes on the grasslands and Liaodong in the bitter and cold land did not lack anything.

Zhangjiakou is a city that supports all the enemies in the north of Ming Dynasty, and also nourishes a large number of desperate Shanxi merchants!

One can imagine how important the city of Zhangjiakou is to Shanxi merchants!

And now, for the Shanxi merchants, the original situation of covering the sky with one hand has also appeared flaws.

The previous Xuanfu general was defeated and died, and the new Xuanfu general has already taken office.

And...the oil and salt don't come in!

Their previous methods of attracting and corrupting, on this new Xuanfu commander, are useless!

If in the past, such people, they also had a lot of means to make them submit.

Such as impeaching him and resigning in the imperial court, such as exclusion from various aspects and non-cooperation, it is difficult for him to move forward.

But these methods were ineffective against this Xuanfu commander.

Court impeachment?

But the whole court up and down, who doesn't know that this Xuanfu chief soldier is the henchman of Zhenbeihou who is almost covering the sky with his hands, impeach, who can impeach!

to exclude...

With Li Xiu's support behind him, Zhou Yuji didn't have to worry about any unspoken rules.

If you are obedient, then everything will be easy to talk about. If you are disobedient, it will be an easy task to put someone on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country in the name of the general soldier of Xuanfu.

After all, Zhangjiakou, although the attributes of a commercial powerhouse are far greater than its military attributes, but, no matter what, Zhangjiakou is under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town!

Yu Xuanfu took office and started to reorganize and recruit troops. After the situation in the capital stabilized a little, Zhou Yuji, under Li Xiu's advice, held high the court's will, and was ordered to maintain and supervise the order of the mutual market. He held this treasured land that Shanxi merchants had been operating for many years.

Facts have once again proved that any interest relationship is illusory in the face of unreasonable soldiers.

However, any move that breaks the unspoken rules of interest groups will naturally suffer backlash from the interest groups in which they belong.

Now, originally shouldering the heavy responsibility of the mutual market, the prosperity level is as high as Zhangjiakou, which is second to none in the north. Now…

Officials do not manage, merchants do not trade, and supplies are in short supply...

The entire Zhangjiakou has fallen into an unprecedented depression.

The responsibility of the mutual market has tended to collapse.

Obviously, this is a counterattack against Zhou Yuji's entry into Zhangjiakou, which directly violates their core interests.

The matter of mutual market is related to the great policy of the imperial court!

Now the mutual market is sluggish, all because Zhou Yuji led his army to Zhangjiakou.

The Shanxi merchants who are responsible for the guilt have thought out for the courtiers, acting recklessly, destroying the mutual market, disturbing the peace of the frontier, and even collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country...

This kind of guilt is obviously ready to let Zhou Yuji shoulder it.

The fact will not exceed the expectations of the Shanxi merchants. When the news reached the capital, the courtiers who had been overwhelmed by Li Xiu for a long time were suddenly brightened up.

If I can't take you down, Li Xiu, can't I break your arm?

Under the same interests and demands, these courtiers obviously do not mind cooperating with Shanxi merchants.

As a result, the hall, which had just calmed down for a while, was suddenly filled with smog.

All kinds of impeachment memorials that seem to be justifiable and well-founded, rushed to emerge in the court. Fortunately, this time, after some manipulations by Li Xiu and Zhu Youjian, it was finally no longer full of chaos.

However, many things do not mean that the emperor can do whatever he wants when he has mastered the court.

Interest appeal, these four words are the true meaning.

Therefore ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this storm is not small.

Only this time, Li Xiu did not ignore it as usual, as if he was out of the way. Although he did not personally end the game this time, under his instruction, Xun Gui, Jin Yiwei, and even a small group of civil servants also It was one after another above the courtroom, and the voice that belonged to him, Li Xiu!

And Li Xiu himself, also sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, fiddled with the pieces on the chessboard little by little, fiddling with the fate of Shanxi merchants who were entrenched in Shanxi, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!

As early as under the arrangement of Li Ruolian, Jinyiwei sent a capable team and was already on the way to Shanxi.

Zhou Yuji, on the other hand, was already ready, sharpening his knife, and was about to kill himself, so as to get rid of the suffocation he suffered during this period of time!

Of course, everything is ready, but there is still one wind, that is, the wind in the court.

After all, killing is easy, and looting is equally easy, but the aftermath is still inseparable from these officials in the court.

And this time, Li Xiu is also going to take this opportunity to officially spread his tentacles to the courtroom and local politics...
