News of Luzon's rebellion was soon passed back to the capital.

Emperor Wanli was angry and felt a little glad that he could take this opportunity to divert the conflicts in the country, especially the conflicts between him and his ministers.

Ever since the mining tax robbery, he has been trapped by the endless criticism of ministers.

Emperor Wanli was extremely skilled and ignored it, but his ministers were shameless. Seeing that the tigers and wolves were in the streets and the people were in trouble, the court officials who were the people were helpless and could not help, so they submitted memorials to ask for help.

In fact, this trend of resigning from office has appeared since the ninth year of Wanli. Since the disappearance of Chen Ge Lao, Emperor Wanli has been determined to be dictatorial, so he naturally had a fierce conflict with the civil servant group. Although the emperor had innate advantages, he could not stand the wolves. Several struggles ended with the victory of the civil servants.

Wanli's pride and stubbornness made him unaware of "compromise, what is it. Even if the civil servant defeated him, he would not be able to make him obey his mercy. So after the hot war, the two sides entered the Cold War period. Emperor Wanli said that he would not be in charge of the court, not be close to the suburbs, not be criticized for the suburbs, and not be compensated. What was even more unethical was that he seized the opportunity to depose the ministers.

There was once a shilang who was caught by Wanli just because there was a typo in the memorial.

If you criticize the memorials with a braid, it does not mean that he will not read it. If you don’t read it or not, the minister can criticize it on his behalf, but it is not too bad. If you don’t criticize it, it’s like standing in a pit and not pooping. Wanli elevates the typos to the level of neglect of work attitude and despise the emperor. The poor shilang naturally wants to resign. The ministers wrote letters to keep it, but Wanli did not even keep it symbolized, and directly wrote a memorial and rushed home with a roll of bed...

Wanli thought at that time that it was difficult to find a toad of three tui. Some of the two tui drove away those annoying guys and just replaced them with the candidates they like. However, how could civil officials let him succeed? Don’t forget that officials below the fourth rank are selected by the Ministry of Personnel, and officials above the third rank are recommended by the court. Ministers do not choose the candidates they like, and the emperor does not like the candidates they recommend.

Wanli has not thought about using the imperial edict and bypassing the foreign court to directly appoint officials. From a legal perspective, this is feasible. However, this is the most despicable thing for Shilin. If anyone dares to accept the imperial edict, his friend will immediately cut off contact with him. When someone goes out, he will throw rotten eggs. When he goes to the yamen, he will be excluded by his colleagues and superiors. In short, you will understand what it means to be targeted by public criticism and what it means to be worse than death.

So as soon as Wanli blew out the wind, those "lucky officials were scared and wrote letters to honor Xie Bumin, and were forced to leave directly, not giving the emperor a chance to force the seedlings to grow.

However, the candidates recommended by the ministers should not be expected to take office immediately, because whether it is a scheming or a court recommendation, there is only the right to recommend and no decision-making power. In the end, the emperor will have to issue an imperial edict to complete the appointment.

So I can't use my people, and you can't even think about using your people. Both sides can just waste it.

In the ninth year of Wanli, there were three ministers in the two capitals, shi Langfeng, ninety-four people in the Kedao, three governors in the local area, sixty-six supervisors and twenty-five prefects. Three years later, the great ministers in the north and south were strong in the air, and the governors and important ministers were furloughed over the years, and the vassals were furloughed to fifty or sixty, and the prefects were furloughed to forty or fifty.

Recently, because the mining tax has been powerless, the remaining ministers have basically stopped... Among the ministers in charge of the national common affairs, the only cabinet is Shen Shixing and Wang Jiaping.

Among the nine ministers, there were only one Censor and Shilang who worked in the court. Some of the eight ministers who had not been compensated or failed to leave, and the government was paralyzed.

Emperor Wanli was panicked. After all, he relied on the eunuchs in the inner court and was a good at catching people and making money. He was blind when it came to governing the country. His ancestors still had to rely on civil servants to manage their country, so he was a little regretful, but he just wanted to save face and refused to compromise. The Luzon rebellion incident happened to give him the opportunity to fall into the trap... At least that's what Wanli thought.

Because even in the long river of history, the ministers of this dynasty are all stinky and hard. Once they are involved in territory and sovereignty, there is nothing to say. They must be shouting for fighting and killing, and they don’t bother to fight with themselves.

But the emperor miscalculated. After the news spread, those "stinky and hard-working ministers actually had a very rare understanding of Luzon, and calculated the responsibility to Emperor Wanli's extreme taxes.

Greedy.

Wanli ordered the court to quell the rebellion, and all the ministers could attend this time came. However, the results of the discussion made Wanli extremely dissatisfied... The ministers unanimously agreed that they should not go out rashly. They said that Luzon was far away from the local area and was protected by a powerful fleet, so they should not be rashly conquered. They must build warships, train naval troops, reserve materials, and make plans. Moreover, the domestic wolfdogs are in power, and the public is full of grievances and a large number of troops will probably trigger civil unrest.

Ministers said that after all, Luzon was alone overseas and could not endanger the root of its rule. If the provinces were in chaos, the country would be in real danger. So they jointly wrote a letter asking the emperor to revoke the mining supervision envoy, revise politics, and rest with the people. First, the high fever in the two capitals and thirteen provinces will be relieved.

The ministers' opinions on the handling of the Luzon rebellion were to send envoys to severely denounce it. If Luzon was confused for a moment and saw that he angered the power of heaven, he would naturally repent and apologize. If Luzon's side insisted on not understanding, it would arouse anger from the people of the whole country. Even if they wanted to fight, the people would fully support it.

Simply put, the ministers only mean that they would not solve the problem of the mining tax commission first, and they could only delay other problems.

But in Wanli's view, Luzon's rebellion was too far away to shake its own dragon throne.

Using mining supervision and taxation to destroy industry and commerce and attack the Southeast wealthy clans is the primary priority in maintaining imperial power, so he will never be deceived by ministers and give up halfway in a good situation.

As a result, the monarch and ministers once again fell into a deadlock of mutual indifference, and the conquest was naturally far away. Immediately afterwards, a large-scale tax riot occurred in the area south of the Yangtze River, which also turned the attention of the government and the public from the distant Luzon back to the country...

……一……口……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……口……口……一……一……一……一……一……一……一……,

The great development of industry and commerce since the middle of Jiajing has brought about a round of rapid urbanization. Especially in the developed areas in the southeast, the number of cities increased rapidly and the population of cities increased sharply, which profoundly changed the social form of the Ming Dynasty and changed many invisible and invisible things.

Compared with farmers living in rural areas, the citizens living in cities have much lower tolerance for tyranny and crisis. This is not because of their awakening of personal consciousness and how high their ideological awareness is, but because they are separated from the land and all living materials must be purchased by labor remuneration.

Once an economic depression occurs and a large-scale bankruptcy of the business, the job opportunities in the city will be reduced sharply. Workers who lose their jobs will face a situation where they have no food and clothing. If they encounter a financial crisis again and spend their savings in vain, the workers will have no way out.

When we didn't know what unemployment relief was, the city turned into a powder barrel, and the desperate citizens were the gunpowder in the barrel. Just a fuse was enough to detonate a spark.

However, the earliest riots occurred in Changsha, Hunan, where industry and commerce were relatively backward.

The tax envoy who was plundered in Changsha, Ma Tang bought the errand for 400,000 taels. Compared to the transaction price of millions in other big cities, this price was obviously profitable. However, this guy forgot that just two years ago, he heard that He Xinyin was arrested, and the people of Hunan who flocked to the east factory yamen were surrounded by the Dongchang yamen.

If He Xinyin had not come forward to dissuade him, the people from the East Factory and the thousand imperial guards would have been reimbursed in that battle.

This time there is no hidden thought in the world...

The people of Hunan were even more full of hatred for the eunuchs because of He Xinyin's death. Ma Tang was another ignorant person. As soon as he arrived in Changsha, he trapped hundreds of desperate people to loot, causing the market in Changsha to be depressed and the people were living in poverty. In addition to plundering money, he and his subordinates were lawless and were slandered in order to defame a daughter of Zhusheng, the surname Zhusheng, and the wife of Zhusheng, the surname Zhusheng, and the two scholars tried their best to stop him, but they died and were injured.

After the tragedy, Hunan students were furious and soon gathered more than a thousand people to beat drums at the Governor's Office's office, and complained about all kinds of crimes in Ma Tang. Governor Shen Yiguan refused to face him, so they turned to the Tax Supervision Office. The two sides fought a fight, and the conflict lasted for more than a dozen.

At that time, more and more people came to support him.

Finally, after Ma Tang's men opened fire, tens of thousands of angry people flocked to the door, set fire to the Ma Tang's office and killed more than 100 people with his minions, and stole the words on their arms. They dug three feet into the ground to find Ma Tang hiding in the pit, stripped it into a bare pig, tied it up on a shelf and paraded the streets, and finally beheaded him in front of the governor's office.

After removing Ma Tang and his minions, the people of Changsha were still in a state of excitement, but the students gradually regained their rationality. Everyone looked at each other with a very realistic problem. What should we do next?

Just finish the work and go back to their own houses? This is a serious crime of killing the imperial envoy and killing more than 100 lives. Even if the law does not punish the public in the end, it will definitely be strictly investigated and dealt with to serve as a warning. At least these famous and surnamed students cannot escape.

But if we don’t finish work and so many people gather together, we have to be a name for a while before we can continue? And it’s not about rebellion, we must have an expected goal.

After emergency consultations, the teachers and students of Yuelu Academy, who were in a leading position, reached a unified opinion. Our goal is not to overthrow the regime or to rob the family, but to protest the tax policy of imposing heavy taxes and punish the cruel tax officials who are harming the law. Our goal is to ask the court to recall the world's mining supervision and taxation envoys, re-establish reasonable tax rules, and promise not to pursue anyone involved in the incident.

The rules of this collective action were also agreed. The students led the Changsha people to advocate: "Don't plunder anything, don't withdraw a piece of money, don't be as innocent as innocent, don't disturb the market." In order to maintain order and protect the people, the students selected two thousand disciplined workers from the people who were in charge, formed a citizen guard team, and then went to the Bingmasi. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Bingmasi were believers of He Xinyin. When the defenders saw the Citizen Guard team led by Yuelu Academy, they did not have any fear or fear. Instead, they smiled and hugged at them, but closed the door tightly for the limitations of their duties.

Then after a routine bargaining, the guards brought a ladder and flipped in from the courtyard wall. The soldiers still did not stop them. Instead, they hurried to the side with their mouths, as if prompting them to go back, and they rushed into the ammunition depot.

The guards emptied the guns in the armory, patrolling the city while stepping up shooting training to guard against the army that could arrive at any time.

Most of the people are going home for the time being, but the teachers and students of Yuelu Academy have not returned to the academy. They know very well that although a guard team has been formed, they really cannot wait for the imperial court to attack. If the quality changes, the imperial court will definitely regard them as traitors! Even if they are pardoned in the end, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be settled later. They must find a way to solve the problem.

As soon as the teachers and students have decided, the governor must take the lead and report to the court, so that the matter will not be subject to the level of rebellion.

So several leaders came to the governor's office again. In order to show their sincerity, they did not lead their subordinates, and even handed over the famous sect and paid a visit according to etiquette.

This time, Shen Yiguan asked them to meet in the living room very politely. He first expressed condolences to the victims, and then praised them for not hurting the innocent during the uprising, and at the same time expressed dissatisfaction with their impulsive behavior.

He did not agree to be the leader of the uprising, but he promised to help them reach the sky and listen. He tried his best to say that it was a gentle breeze and drizzle, which would make people unable to get angry, but he could not count on it.

"The Governor said this, as if you were not the consul of Changsha City." A leader named Chen Xing finally couldn't stand his smooth behavior and mocked him: "Isn't it your duty to maintain peace in one area and the people are not disturbed? But you are ignoring the people who are castrated by the mermaids and gangsters are forced to kill people. Isn't it a corpse position? We are doing our duty for you, but you act like you are not in your own way. Is this really the attitude that a party should have? I heard that you are the son of Mr. Shen, don't you feel embarrassed for him?"

Shen Yiguan was blushed and finally stopped pushing and told them that he would consider it for a night and would have a reply the next morning, and the students retreated.

He personally sent the students away. Shen Yiguan turned back and saw that there was an extra person in the living room. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You guys succeed now..."
